the next day.
After packing his bags, Jiang Zirou and Xiaolong Suli left the palace together.
Both of them are first-class martial arts masters in the world, and they walked out of Jingzhou, passed through Xuanzhou, and entered the boundary of Yizhou without spending a long time on the road.
Generally speaking.
From Daxia in the Central Plains to Nanyue in the desolate south.
There are two ways to go.
One is the official road in Liangzhou. It is a long distance, and the folk customs are tough. It is easy to encounter robbers. It costs a lot of money to travel to and from merchants to hire escorts or make connections on the road.
The other road is the waterway in Yizhou.
Nanting Lake, with vast waves and rolling waves, looks like a sea.
It is the most expansive freshwater lake in the Central Plains, where large and small rivers converge. Yizhou has been prosperous for thousands of years, and the title of land of fish and rice is also inseparable from this lake.
Take a boat across Nanting Lake, and the other side of the shore is the territory of Nanyue Kingdom.
As for the Liangzhou Daze that Jiang Zirou left a few years ago, it is located in a remote area with many poisons in the swamp, and rarely communicates with the outside world. The transportation is extremely inconvenient, so few people choose to cross the border from the Liangzhou Daze.
The scenery of Nanting Lake is excellent.
The reputation spread far and wide.
The wealth fish in the lake is not only a famous delicacy, but also a treasure medicine that is of great benefit to warriors. The cooked medicinal food is delicious and famous far and wide.
Jiang Zirou brought Su Li to Nanyang City.
I stayed for a day, took a short rest, and tasted the local cuisine, but I felt that it lived up to its reputation.
Arrived the next day.
It happened that there was a large ship docked on the shore, which was responsible for transporting people between the two countries.
Jiang Zirou bought two upper houses.
Leaning on the deck, the scenery is beautiful, and there are servants serving meals on weekdays. The food is carefully cooked by the chef on board, including vegetables, fruits, and fresh fish and shrimps just caught from the lake, etc.
The experience is quite good.
Of course, the price is also very expensive. Such a room, which only lasts for a few days, actually costs ten taels of silver. These ten taels of silver can be used sparingly, and it is enough for ordinary people to live, eat, live, and travel for a year.
Jiang Zirou is rich and powerful.
She didn't pay attention to this little money.
Early spring.
The climate is mild, Nanting Lake is as calm as a mirror, and the big boats walk on it slowly, but it is also stable.
In the beginning, Jiang Zirou would watch the scenery of Nanting Lake with Su Li on the deck, but after a few days passed, he became bored, so he often stayed in the room and did not go out.
This made some people on the boat shake their heads and sigh.
It's a pity.
…
these days.
Jiang Zirou's Yuan Shen Dao sword has been fully introduced, and even went a step further, reaching the realm of entering the room.
Yuan Shen Dao Sword is divided into four realms.
From low to high, they are condensing the sword, holding the sword, drawing the sword, and calming the chaos.
so far.
Jiang Zirou has been practicing this technique for seven or eight days, and has reached the state of congealing the sword, and has vaguely touched the state of holding the sword.
"The state of condensing the sword can already cause saints to be injured, but when it reaches the state of holding the sword, even saints will be severely injured, or even... killed!"
I am more and more amazed at the infinite power of this exercise.
Of course, this is also due to Jiang Zirou's innate talent, otherwise, ordinary semi-saints would not even be able to touch the threshold of cultivation, let alone the so-called realm of holding a sword.
"However, although I now have the two backgrounds of the Yuan Shen Dao Sword and the Twelve-Rank Chaos Qinglian, I still can't take it lightly when facing a saint."
Jiang Zirou warned himself in his heart.
There are no saints on the surface in the world of origin, but the Buddhist disciples and Mongolian national teachers who were suppressed and expelled by Jiang Taizu thousands of years ago are likely to still survive in the world. These people were already the top semi-sages thousands of years ago. To what kind of realm.
And the other side.
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is even more so in the new world. According to little Taoist nun Zhao Yuheng, the human race is not considered strong in the new world.
"The road... is still long!"
Jiang Zirou closed her eyes, the little pride in her heart dissipated in an instant, and continued to practice with great concentration.
…
After five days of steady walking, about halfway through the journey, heated discussions rang out on the calm deck.
"Look! What's that..."
"You don't even know Buzhou Mountain!"
"Of course I know Buzhou Mountain, but it's the first time I've seen such a tall and precipitous lonely mountain when I grow up!"
"It's amazing!"
…
Jiang Zirou, who was in retreat, was awakened by the turbulent discussion.
Buzhou Mountain in myths and legends...
Hearing what the people on the deck were talking about, Jiang Zirou frowned slightly. I have seen many legends about Buzhou Mountain in books. To suppress the demon god's weapon...
Whatever the myth.
All highlight the height, steepness and grandeur of Buzhou Mountain.
"Since we're here, it would be a pity not to see it with our own eyes!"
Jiang Zirou was thinking so.
"Crack!"
The door of the room was pushed open, Su Li was facing the lake light, her fair and tender face was slightly flushed with excitement.
"Come out and see, there is a huge mountain outside!"
…
"it's wired… "
On the deck, Jiang Zirou stretched out his hand, looking at the tall and straight Buzhou Mountain shrouded in clouds and mist in the distance, his eyes were full of doubts.
"What's so strange?"
Su Li was gnawing on a browned and crispy grilled fish. Hearing Jiang Zirou's words, he hummed twice, swallowed the fish with bone spurs, and asked inexplicably.
"This Mount Buzhou doesn't seem to be formed naturally... There are calm lakes around, but there is such a straight and tall isolated peak in the heart of the lake!"
"What you said makes sense!" Su Li gnawed on a piece of fish, and nodded half understanding.
"Also, do you feel that this mountain is narrow at the bottom and wide at the top, and there is a protrusion at the end..."
"Like a sword magnified countless times!"
Su Li hurriedly replied, but then said: "But if that's the case, this sword is too big, it's thousands of meters above the surface of the water!"
"Um!"
Jiang Zirou was also slightly suspicious, and didn't say anything more.
…
Been on deck for a while.
After Su Li finished eating the fish steak in his hand, the two of them were about to go back to the house to rest.
And at this moment.
A handsome man in a Confucian robe stood not far from Jiang Zirou, waved his hands eagerly, and greeted Jiang Zirou.
"I don't know the girl's name?"
Jiang Zirou turned around and glanced at him, but said nothing.
The young man didn't feel embarrassed, just smiled, and continued on his own: "My name is Zhao Fugui, and I'm the heir of the Zhao family in Yizhou. I guess the girl is going to Nanyue Kingdom, and the destination is also Wushen Mountain!"
