Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Zhou Jing flew across the river and landed on the shore, and threw the shivering Kong Bao on the ground, collecting his mana.
Twenty or thirty villagers all fell to the ground with excitement on their faces and exclaimed immortals.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhou Jing couldn't help feeling emotional.
Sure enough, this technique of summoning the wind is too easy to pretend to be a ghost in this world.
But you only need to confuse others, let others think he has supernatural powers, and call himself immortal for the time being... The tone is too high, it is difficult to handle, it is better to leave room for others to imagine.
Zhou Jing thought of this, raised his palms, smiled and said: "Everyone please get up, I am not an immortal that day, just a mountain alchemist, you don't need to worship me."
Hearing this, many villagers got up hesitantly and looked at Zhou Jing with courage.
When they got closer, everyone was startled. They only thought that Zhou Jing was very strange, with a high nose and deep eyes, skin like white jade, short hair with black and brown, and he didn't look like an ordinary person.
Many villagers hurriedly bowed their heads again, not daring to look at it, and they were in awe, but they didn't feel strange in their hearts.
- Different people and different appearances, worthy of being a person among the gods.
Zhou Jing saw that everyone dared not speak, so he took the initiative to say:
"Xialing Fengzi is an outsider. He has been practicing in the mountains for a long time, and he does not walk in the world. Recently, he has been very quiet and thoughtful, stepping into the world, looking for the law of heaven and chance, and going to the Ningtian Mansion. Passing through this place, but When I met this boatman, he wanted to kill me in the river, but I took it, do you know the origin of this person?"
Hearing the question of the expert who was suspected of being an immortal, many villagers dared not not answer.
An old man who looked like a village chief walked out and said with sincerity:
"This person is called Kong Bao, and he is a strongman in the green forest nearby. He often pretends to be a boatman, carrying guests to and from the two sides of the strait. When he reaches the river, he robs money and kills his life. The people of several fishing villages around here know this person. It's just that this person is proficient in martial arts, outstanding in water, and skillful, so I can't help it. Besides, this Kong Bao usually only harms travelers from other places. If he doesn't come to disturb me, I will let him go. Now this thief has been caught by the Dragon King. Now, it is his retribution full of evil."
Zhou Jing listened normally at first, but he couldn't help laughing at the last sentence, saying:
"Old man, I said, I'm not an immortal, let alone the Dragon Lord. You can call me Lingfengzi or Taoist priest."
"Understood, understood! Long... The Taoist priest asked me to keep it in my heart."
The village chief nodded again and again, but he was even more certain in his heart that he only felt that Lord Long was visiting privately, so he didn't want to be pointed out.
Zhou Jing didn't insist either, looked at Kong Bao, pondered for a few seconds, and then said:
"Since it's a water thief walking alone, you should tie this person up and take it to the officials."
When Kong Bao heard the words, he hurriedly rolled over and knelt down, shouting, "Grandpa Daoist! I won't dare again in the future! I would like to surrender and serve you in the future!"
"...What beautiful things do you want?"
Zhou Jing was speechless, and pointed to stab Kong Bao's neck heavily, directly knocking him out.
Apostle Bill No. 3 now has 25 points of physical fitness, which is only a little weaker than Chen Feng's initial physical fitness. In the current standard of this world, he is also a "superior person", and his strength is not small.
I currently want Bill to take the upper-level route, and it would be troublesome to bring this person by my side.
Besides, he had just detected this Kong Bao's attributes, and his martial arts skills were not high. Among the Lulin tyrants that Chen Feng knew, his skills were not ranked at all.
If it is assumed that Lu Yunzhao's force value is 90, this Kong Bao is in his early 70s at most, not very powerful, and it's okay to bully ordinary people.
"Thank you Dao Master for waiting for me to get rid of this harm."
Many villagers quickly thanked them, stepped forward boldly, and tied Kong Bao tightly with ropes.
Zhou Jing ignored the matter, changed the topic, and carefully asked these locals about the geographical situation in the vicinity.
Everyone naturally answered their questions, and quickly explained the situation in the vicinity.
This place is only three or four days' journey away from Ningtian Prefecture. Down the river, you can reach the port in the west of Ningtian Prefecture, called Ximendu.
There are thousands of boats crossing the river, sails like clouds, and it is very lively.
Zhou Jing's eyes flashed and he had an idea.
'Since you want to go the route of pretending to be a ghost, you don't have to use the idea of slowly accumulating fame, it is better to go big... I want to become famous in Ningtian Mansion and take the upper-level route, then it's best to quickly hook up with big families and noble families in the city, such as getting There is a hot trend that can spread all over the city in a short time, so there must be enough witnesses... Since that Ningtianfu ferry is so lively every day, I go there to do a wave of things, no doubt, it will be twice the result with half the effort. '
Zhou Jing felt more and more feasible.
Directly create a rumor that caused a sensation in the whole city, let the upper-level people know his "Godman", and then take the initiative to visit and invite him to be a guest... This is definitely better than going to the door to cheat.
This is marketing yourself!
However, in the beginning, it is possible to take the initiative to hook up with a big family and ask the other party to help solve trivial problems such as lack of identity proof, which is convenient and easy to use.
After getting the information he wanted, Zhou Jing stopped delaying and left the village immediately, heading towards the West Gate of Ningtian Mansion.
After he left, many villagers were still immersed in their experiences of encountering immortals today.
Some people even set up a simple incense table directly at home to worship this "Dragon Lord".
In addition, the villager did not delay, and several people escorted Kong Bao to the county seat.
…
Three days passed by.
Zhou Jing has been hurrying along the river.
Although he is penniless, he has the ability to analyze items, and he is not afraid of being hungry in the wild. Just picking some fruit is enough to feed his stomach. You can also use the wind to blow down birds and beat the teeth.
He was not idle on the road, and he went to analyze and identify any plants he encountered, so as to be familiar with the plants and herbs in this world.
As we moved forward, the road became wider and wider, the number of pedestrians gradually increased, and boats began to appear frequently on the river.
Zhou Jing walked along the road and finally saw the outline of Ningtian Mansion.
This is a majestic city occupied by dragons and tigers. It is based on the big river and faces Zhongling.
Not far from the river is Ximen Ferry, like a large lake, with hundreds of boats parked, ranging from merchant ships and cargo ships as tall as buildings, to small fishermen's boats that can only take three or four people.
Across the distance, you can also hear the noise of the ferry terminal, a bustling scene.
"Sure enough, it's more prosperous than Anlin's mansion. I don't know how many times."
Zhou Jing was overjoyed.
He did not enter the city, avoiding pedestrians, following the wild forest slope beside the road, all the way to the bank of the river, and looking at the ferry along the highly parallel water surface.
"Whether it can scare the entire Ningtian Mansion depends on this wave..."
Zhou Jing thought about it in his heart, and used the reflection on the water to sort out his appearance. Only then did he settle down and act.
at the same time.
A merchant ship was sailing on the river, getting closer and closer to Ximendu.
A middle-aged man in Chinese clothes with white temples stood at the bow of the boat, looking at Ning Tianfu in the distance, with a worried expression on his face.
Beside him is a young man with vaguely similar features, wearing a light blue scribe's robe, and speaking generously to comfort him:
"Dad, don't worry, we invited Doctor Zhang, and the old lady will be able to cure the disease."
The middle-aged man in Chinese clothing sighed:
"I have searched for famous doctors in Ningtian Prefecture, but no one knows about the old lady's disease. If Zhang Jinduan, who has a great reputation in Xinglin, lives up to his name, and can cure the old lady's strange disease, it is not in vain for me to ask for it in person... Otherwise, when the old lady falls, my Ye family will be without a pillar, and 80% of it will be in chaos, and it will not be a day or two for the other houses to be the head of the family."
The middle-aged man's name is Ye Shunzhong, and he is the head of Ning Tian's Ye family. The young man next to him is called Ye Yingguang, the son of Ye Shunzhong.
Ning Tianye's family is a wealthy businessman in the Jiangchun area. Their business spreads across several states and their wealth is huge. They are famous throughout the south.
In this Ningtian Mansion, the Ye family is known to everyone. In the mouths of good deeds in the market, the Ye family competes for the title of "Ningtian's richest man" with two other rich and wealthy families in the city all the year round.
But three months ago, the old lady in charge of the Ye family fell ill, and the Ye family paid a lot of money to hire a doctor for outpatient treatment.
The wealth and silk moved people's hearts, and almost all the people in the city temporarily left the ordinary people who came to see a doctor to gather at the Ye family for consultation, almost breaking the threshold of the Ye family, but in the end, no one knew what the old lady Ye had.
This matter also spread to the whole city, and the entire Ningtian Mansion knew that Mrs. Ye had a strange disease that no one knew about, and it became a topic of discussion.
Ye Shunzhong was in charge of the big house and was trained as a successor early on. After the old lady fell ill, his health was not getting better day by day. He has been anxiously looking for famous doctors.
Not long ago, he learned that Zhang Jinduan, one of the three famous doctors in the legend of Xinglin, happened to be traveling to Jiangchun, so he hurriedly went to invite him to Ningtian Mansion to treat old lady Ye. His last hope.
At this time, an old man in a green robe with a medicine box walked out of the cabin, saw the Ye family father and son, and walked over.
As soon as he saw this person, Ye Shunzhong immediately saluted and said:
"Doctor Zhang, Ningtian Mansion is about to arrive. If the Grand Duke of the E family can be cured, the whole Ye family will be grateful for Dr. Zhang's kindness."
"Brother Ye doesn't have to do this, the old man will do his best."
The old man in green robe hurriedly bowed his hands in return. He was Zhang Jinduan, known as one of the three famous doctors of Xinglin.
The two talked politely, and the Ye family merchant ship slowly moored into Ximendu.
At this moment, countless boats on the river suddenly sounded a burst of uproar, resounding through the sky.
Ye Shunzhong looked at the sound and was slightly taken aback.
I saw hundreds of boats moored in front of the ferry, countless boatmen running, gathered on the side of the boat, pointing in the direction of their Ye family merchant ships and exclaiming.
The content of the shouts drifted along with the river wind, intermittent and not clear enough, I could only vaguely hear words such as "immortal", "dragon king" and "river god" mixed in it.
"What happened?"
Ye Shunzhong was puzzled, and simply followed the direction pointed by the sailors of the countless ships ahead and looked back.
Seeing this, he was struck by lightning, his jaw almost dislocated, and he was suddenly stunned.
On the river not far away, there was a man in a black robe stepping on the water, with ripples appearing every step of the way, as if walking slowly in a leisurely court.
"First Evolution"
"This... is this a fairy?!"
Ye Shunzhong and the three were heartbroken and couldn't look away.
Under the stunned gazes of countless people in the ferry, this figure stepped on the river!
The demeanor is free and easy, like a fairy strolling along the river, step by step to the ferry.
At this moment, it was as if all the ships on the river had disappeared, and only this person was left in the world, like a lonely dragon.
Countless people in the ferry were so shocked that they stood on the spot, staring at the person who stepped on the river.
At this moment, this figure happened to walk to the side of the Ye family merchant ship, and the distance was quite close, and the appearance of this person could already be seen from the boat.
Ye Shunzhong was jolted and came back to his senses. Without saying a word, he bowed and saluted on the boat, respectfully, and said excitedly:
"I'm so lucky to be able to see Xianyan! Xianjia is on top, please accept me!"
Zhou Jing heard someone talking, turned his head to look up at the boat next to him, and saw Ye Shunzhong, who was looking at the side of the boat, at a glance, and he looked like a wealthy family.
With a move in his heart, he suddenly drove the gust of wind and floated into the air.
Under everyone's attention, he flew to the Ye family merchant ship.
Ye Shunzhong and the others were taken aback, and hurriedly bowed down, shouting that they had seen immortals.
"It's just some magical means, don't make a fuss, it's not an immortal, you don't need to make this big gift."
Zhou Jing took it lightly and opened his mouth at will.
These people are beautifully dressed, rich or expensive. This time, he is not as amiable as facing the rural villager, but he has a good posture, and he has the calm demeanor of a master hermit.
Hearing this, Ye Shunzhong and others dared to straighten their waists, and they all saw Zhou Jing's strange appearance.
Zhou Jing put his hands behind his back, looked at Ye Shunzhong, who was in the lead, and asked:
"Who are you?"
Ye Shunzhong didn't know what Zhou Jing meant, so he didn't dare to be indignant, so he took courage and bowed his hands, saying:
"In Xia Ye Shunzhong, when I saw the master's immortal methods, I was instantly moved, unable to restrain myself, and couldn't help but speak... I wonder if I can know the master's name?"
"Under the spirit of the wind."
Zhou Jing reported a pseudonym, then pretended to be unpredictable, and said slowly:
"Since you have the guts to talk to me, I will give you a fate."
Ye Shunzhong was stunned for a moment, and suddenly overjoyed.
This immortal-like character actually said that he wanted to give him a fate? Could it be that, as the folk fairy tales say, when you meet a god, you have to give it a chance? !
Without waiting for Ye Shunzhong to inquire, Zhou Jing pretended to be indifferent and said:
"I'm going to stay in Ningtian Mansion for some time, looking for where the secrets are. Since you and I have a fate, I'll stay at your house temporarily and let you handle some trivial matters for me... Do you want this fate or not?"
This is a shameless thief, it is equivalent to catching a big head, not only asking people to spend money to entertain you, but also saying that this opportunity was rewarded to the other party...
But Zhou Jing's face was not red and his heart was not beating.
If an ordinary person said that, he might be beaten.
However, just now, he showed his immortal means, and he grabbed the lead, and has already quelled the rich and big family in this ship. Now this posturing makes people even more uncertain about his background.
Also, he wasn't completely nonsense.
He deliberately staged a "Treading the River" at the lively ferry. With so many witnesses, his reputation must spread throughout Ningtianfu in a very short period of time.
A mysterious person who is suspected of being an immortal, living in this person's home, under the cultural background of the Daxia Dynasty, can bring this person a lot of intangible value such as prestige and influence.
Zhou Jing deliberately boarded the boat, intending to hook up with a wealthy family first, and at the same time to solve his identity problem, he also used this as a springboard to get to know more dignitaries and gain a firm foothold in the city.
If it is successful, this person can also get countless benefits, then the "fathering law" that is said today will come true.
Ye Shunzhong really liked this, and hurriedly agreed after hearing this:
"It's my Ye family's honor to be willing to live in my Ye family temporarily!"
He only felt that this person who claimed to be Lingfengzi was extremely mysterious. Moreover, the so-called "searching for heaven's secrets" that this person veiled revealed also made him very interested and itchy, but he didn't dare to interrogate the other party, so he could only hold back his thoughts for a while.
It's not that Ye Shunzhong has no doubts, but when he thinks of the scene of Zhou Jing walking on the river and rising from the wind just now, he feels that it is not as good as Ning Xin.
If you agree, you will spend some money at most. Even if this person is a liar, what can you do with one more person to eat and drink. Not to mention one person, even if a hundred people came to eat and drink for free, he didn't even blink his eyes.
There is not much else in his Ye family, except for a lot of money!
If this person really has a great background, he will be lucky, and he will definitely regret the practice of pushing the opportunity out now.
Ye Shunzhong calculated very clearly, and naturally he would not refuse Zhou Jing's seemingly excessive demands.
Seeing this, the corner of Zhou Jing's mouth raised a radian, but then disappeared.
He deliberately didn't respond with any thanks, just hummed and said slowly:
"It's so good. Before the ship has entered the port, you can tell me about your Ye family."
