Chapter 656 Boarding
In the early morning of this day, four rays of light came from the sky on the other side of the Linghe River and landed on the ground, revealing their figures. It was Liang Yan, Zhuang Zhengqi and others.
On the way here, Zhuang Zhengqi had already told Liang Yan the secret of the Ling River. When they got here, they did not dare to continue flying in the air. They directly turned off the escape light and walked towards the river ahead. .
I saw two boats parked on the shore, one of which had a red roof, gold-lined windows, carved beams and phoenixes on the pillars, and a shining bow, which was extremely exquisite.
The other boat seemed a bit monotonous, just a simple wooden boat with a black roof. It looked ordinary and was not carved with any special materials.
There are already more than a dozen monks sitting or standing on both ships. These monks are in groups of twos and threes. They are obviously from different forces, and their conversations with each other are limited to their respective forces.
Liang Yan couldn't help but feel curious when he saw the appearance of these two ships. Then there was an old man with a hunchback standing on the shore. He wore half a mask on his face, and the exposed half of his face was covered with wrinkles, making him look extremely old.
"This is the ugly slave of Huangshi Mountain. It is said that they are all the queens of sinners."
"The queen of sinners?" Liang Yan asked with some confusion.
Zhuang Zhengqi nodded and said: "Huangshi Mountain is the sphere of influence of the Zuoqiu family, but for thousands of years, there are also some blind monks who want to sneak into Huangshi Mountain to observe the Yellowstone Heavenly Book. These people After being captured by the Zuoqiu family, he was refined into an 'ugly slave' using a special secret method. From then on, he was loyal to the Zuoqiu family, and even his descendants were slaves for generations."
Liang Yan's eyelids twitched slightly when he heard this, and he said coldly: "No matter how big the trouble is, you have already paid it back in this life, and you still want to enslave other people's descendants?"
Zhuang Zhengqi heard that his tone was wrong, and hurriedly He made a silent gesture and whispered: "There are some things It’s not for us to make rash comments. I know you are a fledgling and full of energy, but you are at the foot of someone else’s mountain. With our strength, we must not cause trouble!”
Liang Yan curled his lips and nodded noncommittally. , but didn’t say anything more.
A few people had already reached the shore at this time. The ugly slave just glanced at everyone, stretched out his hand, and said lightly: "Everyone, please show me your invitation."
The four of them listened. , all took out their respective invitations. After checking the invitations from Zhuang Zhengqi, Sheng Chi and Jia Ruoyan one by one, Chou Nu just nodded slightly, but after seeing Liang Yan's white invitation, the look of indifference on his face faded a bit.
"You three, all go to the wooden boat on the right." Chou Nu pointed at Zhuang Zhengqi and the others and said expressionlessly.
"As for your Excellency, please board the boat on the left." Facing Liang Yan, Chou Nu looked respectful.
In fact, everyone had already speculated about the splitting of ships. Now that Chou Nu said it directly from his mouth, everyone secretly said: "Sure enough!"
Zhuang Zhengqi also I don't think there is any imbalance. After all, as the leader of a small sect, he can participate in this Huangshi event because of Xu State's geographical advantage and Liang Yan's people. How dare he have any other extravagant hopes.
Jia Ruoyan, on the other hand, was a little angry, but she didn't dare to get angry next to Liang Yan, so she could only follow Zhuang Zhengqi obediently onto the ebony wooden boat.
When Liang Yan saw that the three of them had already boarded the boat, he did not stay here. With just a tap of his toes, he jumped onto the exquisite wooden boat with carved beams and painted beams, gold pillars and red cover.
This ship was more than twice as big as Zhuang Zhengqi's ship, but there were very few people in it. Liang Yan walked into the cabin and saw that there were only seven people in this huge space.
Three of them were wearing golden robes, and their bodies were very strong in Gengjin energy. The leader of them had blond hair and a long beard, his eyes were as sharp as knives, and his cultivation level had reached the late stage of Juyuan Realm. The two young disciples following him were in the late stages of foundation building. Although they still had some Gengjin Qi that they could not send and receive freely, they were definitely genius disciples of this medium-sized sect.
The expressions of these three people were always cold, and they looked like they should keep away from strangers. Liang Yan was not a good dancer either, so naturally he would not take the initiative to chat with them.
On the contrary, the three people sitting opposite saw Liang Yan coming in and smiled kindly at him as a greeting.
These three people are dressed in Taoist robes, and their auras are calm and gentle. They should be monks who have successfully practiced the art of spiritual nourishment in the Taoist sect. Liang Yan naturally smiled back when he saw this, hugged a few people and sat down in a corner of the cabin.
Speaking of the seven people in the cabin, apart from the golden-robed monks and the group wearing Taoist robes, there was also a lone person.
This man is wearing a blue gown. Although he is dressed elegantly, his thief eyes are always looking around, just like a little thief in the market, which is really not flattering. .
After he entered Liang Yan, he had been observing him secretly. Seeing that he was alone like himself, he took the initiative to come over.
"I, Ouyang Ping, am a casual cultivator from Tianzhu Mansion. Could you please give me my Taoist name?"
Liang Yan has heard of Tianzhu Mansion. It is said that it is a small country among the thirty-seven countries in Nanchui. The place is very remote, and spiritual veins are extremely rare. It is said that even the strongest sect in the territory has no monks at the Golden Core stage.
"It turns out to be fellow Taoist Ouyang, and I am Zhang Daniu, from the Huxin Sect of Xu State." Liang Yan said with a slight smile.
"Oh! Fellow Daoist Zhang! Nice to meet you!"
Ouyang Ping put on a posture of admiration for a long time, nodded repeatedly towards Liang Yan and said: "I have heard of the name of Huxin Sect for a long time, today Once I saw Daoyou Zhang’s demeanor, I realized that what he said was true!”
Liang Yan was amused in his heart when he heard this. The Huxin Sect was obviously just a small sect with no big name. I'm afraid this person had never heard of the Huxin Sect and was just touting it randomly.
He has been wandering around for many years, and he can tell at a glance that Ouyang Ping probably wants to make friends with him. After all, they only have one person on board the ship. They are like casual cultivators here, so it is easy to chat with them. Together.
Liang Yan would naturally not refuse this kind of thing. After all, he knew nothing about the "Hundred Fruit Banquet". It would be beneficial and harmless to him to have someone who could exchange information.
"Fellow Taoist Ouyang is ridiculous. I am not good at studying and rarely go out to practice, so I am not clear about the major cultivation forces. I wonder where the other Taoist friends in this boat come from?" Liang Yan said to Ouyang Ping.
Actually, he didn't have much hope at first. Ouyang Ping came from a small and remote country. Although he had been practicing Taoism for a long time, he might not necessarily recognize these sect forces.
But who would have thought that Ouyang Ping put on an expression that said, "You asked the right person!" and said secretly: "The golden-robed monk on the right side is the representative of Tiangang Pavilion. As for the Taoist priests on your left, , is a person who is 'innocent'"
