Chapter 296 Jinse Town
Jiangnan, night.
In the small room of the inn, Hua Wuying sat alone by the window, reading the letter in his hand by the candlelight, with a smile on his face.
Although he was temporarily away from the Wulin Alliance, he was always paying attention to the Qianlong Hundred Heroes Meeting. The Hundred Heroes were decided two days ago, and his junior brothers and sisters couldn't wait to write a letter and send a letter by flying pigeons.
For several days, he and Hua Xiaolan traveled day and night, and finally arrived at Jinse Town, a small town in the south of the Yangtze River, tonight.
This place is adjacent to Jing Lake, not far from their destination, Spirit Mirror Gate.
"Brother Fu Xian really shined at the meeting as expected."
Hua Wuying looked at the letter and chuckled: "Brother Wu finally arrived in Luoyi, and as expected he With his ability, there is no doubt that he will be named one of the top 100."
"Tomorrow will be the second round of competition, I don't know..."
He saw a lot more in the letter. The familiar name makes the smile become more joyful.
But at this moment, a heavy and harsh cough suddenly came from the next door.
That’s Hua Xiaolan.
She had a bad cough and was very weak.
Hua Wuying sighed softly and put away the letter.
After these three days of eating together, he realized how serious Hua Xiaolan's illness was.
After the life-changing spell was cast, Hua Xiaolan often fell into coma without any warning. Even the elder of Wandu Mountain Jade could not find out what her illness was... The only explanation was that her life span was greatly reduced and her organs were overwhelmed. She often strike.
As for the skin oozing disease, it is also a legacy of the life-changing curse. It seems that God does not want her to live happily for the rest of her years, but has to let her suffer from extremely weak Qi and blood. She had to bleed day and night. If it weren't for the support of the elixir in the mountain, she would have died of excessive blood loss.
But she was not willing to wait for death, and continued to practice... She even conquered the number one poison in the Ten Thousand Poison Mountains and used the power of the poison to forcefully break through the realm of spiritual orifices.
Hua Wuying also asked her why she worked so hard and did not rest assured to recover from her illness, but Hua Xiaolan remained silent.
“That’s all, since she is so tired, it’s up to me to find the boatman.”
He thought for a moment, stood up alone, and pushed out the door.
Although Jinse Town is right next to Jinghu Lake, it is not easy to get to the Black Mountain Islands where Lingjingmen is located.
As soon as they arrived in Jinse Town today, the two of them inquired that people in the town would not go near the Black Mountain Islands at all - that place is full of reefs and has fast currents. If they are not very familiar with that waterway, Don't even dare to get close.
Because of this, the Spirit Mirror Sect becomes extremely mysterious.
For many years, there have been very few people who have the ability to set foot in this sect, and very few people in the sect have set foot in the world. How can it not be mysterious?
But why is such a sect known to the world?
There is no other reason... It's just because Ning Baimei, the most powerful person in the world today and the master of Xiangjian, once went to the Spiritual Mirror Sect many years ago to ask.
No one knows what Ning Baimei exchanged for, but since then, many of the magical spells in the Spirit Mirror Sect have become the collection of books in the Palm Sword Academy.
"What a headache..."
Hua Wuying said helplessly to himself: "Junior Sister Hua wants to take the foundation of someone else's clan. How can I persuade her? How can the Lingjing Sect agree?"
As he spoke, he walked down the creaky old wooden stairs and arrived at the inn lobby.
Jinse Town is not big, and the inn is also a restaurant, and this small inn is already the largest restaurant in the town.
At this time, the few small tables in the lobby were full. At first glance, the drinkers were all fishermen, blacksmiths, and carpenters in the town... After a busy day, they finally had a moment of rest. , so they drank some wine with peanuts, which was one of their few cheap entertainments.
Of course, small town inns don’t pay much attention to hygiene. The spicy smell of inferior wine is mixed with the smell of sweat, which makes people’s eyes sore. Countless mosquitoes and flies are swirling around the tables. The drinkers don’t care. They have just scratched them. The soles of his feet and his sweaty hands just reached into the wine bowl, grabbed the peanuts, and threw them into his mouth at will.
Hua Wuying’s eyes brightened slightly.
If you want to inquire about boatmen, these people are undoubtedly the best choice.
So he smiled slightly, walked slowly to the counter, took out a piece of silver, put it gently on the table, and said to the sleepy waiter: "Waiter, tonight's wine is all. Charge it to my account.”
Although he is no longer the young leader of the Wulin League, he still has plenty of money!
He didn't say this loudly, but the people in the room who were talking loudly suddenly stopped and stared with wide eyes. The waiter also woke up with a start: "Sir, are you serious?!"
"Absolutely no lies."
Hua Wuying smiled and pushed the ingot of silver forward.
But surprisingly, the waiter didn’t confiscate it, and instead turned his attention to the men drinking in the hall.
"Brother, have you ever heard of a saying?"
Soon, at a wine table, a stout man smiled and said: "If you show courtesy for nothing, you are either a traitor or a thief."
This was obviously sarcastic, but Hua Wuying was not annoyed. He just turned around and smiled, cupping his hands and saying, "Brothers, I'm not evil people. I just want to ask for something."
On the other side, There was a man who looked like a butcher, grabbing peanuts and throwing them into his mouth, and said vaguely: "What's the matter?"
"I want to ask you, but where can I find a boatman?"
Hua Wuying said softly: "My friends and I are planning to go to the depths of Jinghu Lake to have a look."
"Tsk, let's go boating and enjoy the scenery?" A certain person looked like a boatman. The young man clicked his tongue and said, "Then just ask, why are you spending so much money? If you have money, just give it to me. I'm just a boatman, and I'll take you there. Why are you inviting them to drink?" ? That’s a lot of money to burn.”
There was a burst of laughter in the lobby.
These people's vigilance towards Hua Wuying was also reduced by most, and they all turned around and drank again. The waiter also narrowed his eyes with a smile and stretched out his hand towards the silver ingot.
But then, they heard Hua Wuying speak.
"My friends and I don't want to go boating to enjoy the scenery."
He said slowly: "We are going to the Montenegro Islands."
For a moment, the lobby fell into silence again.
The wine bowl he was holding hung in the air, and the hand holding the peanuts stopped moving. Even the waiter, whose fingers had touched the silver ingot, withdrew his hand again.
After a moment of silence, the young boatman who just spoke sneered: "Black Mountain Islands... do you want to die?"
Hua Wuying's face remained unchanged and he said softly: "I'm deep down I know that the waterways in the Black Mountain Islands are complicated and no one can navigate them without being an experienced boatman. I have prepared a small amount of wine for you to drink with me. I hope you can point me to the way. If you find such a boatman, I will find another one. A generous gift?”
“A generous gift?”
The young boatman snorted and slammed the wine bowl on the table: "Even if you have one hundred thousand taels or one million taels, you can't buy your life!"
Hua Wuying frowned slightly.
At this time, the waiter behind the counter gently advised: "Sir, forget it, that place...only people come in and no one leaves. Back then, Brother Yuan's father..."
"Who told you to say this!" The young boatman shouted angrily, interrupted the waiter, and said angrily: "Anyway, I won't go to the Montenegro Islands!"
After that, he angrily Throwing down the wine bowl, he walked straight away from the wine table and was about to leave.
Although the waiter was scolded, he was not afraid or annoyed. He lowered his voice with a wry smile and said to Hua Wuying: "This little brother Yuan, his father is also a boatman. He always wanted to visit the Montenegro Islands back then. The person who can go the farthest in the town."
"But a few years ago, I still couldn't get out..."
"In the past few years, Brother Yuan has followed the path whenever he has the time. He searched along the waterway his father walked, thinking that even if he died, he would still see his body... But even now that he could walk further, he still couldn't find any traces of his father. "
Hua. Wuying suddenly realized.
No wonder the young boatman was so angry. It turned out that he had stabbed a painful spot.
He felt guilty and hurriedly said loudly to the back of the young boatman: "This... Brother Yuan! I'm sorry, I didn't know..."
Halfway through the words, the young boatman who had just walked out suddenly suddenly The figure paused.
The next moment, he suddenly half-knelt on the ground, his face as pale as paper. Under the astonished eyes of everyone, he held on to the small tree outside the door, held his stomach and vomited violently!
