When it was almost dawn, Shi Hao told the girl in his arms in bed that he was going to find a blacksmith first, and then go to the East China Sea to look for the Huaimeng Grass.
Du Yuejiao whispered, "I just came back here, and I plan to stay with Master for a few more days until you find the forger. After you come back, I will go to the East China Sea with you, Brother Master."
The two of them were affectionate for a while, then Shi Hao put on his clothes, took the Phantom Sea Divine Ganoderma, and quietly slipped out of the window.
Turning around, the girl grabbed the blanket and covered herself with it, then waved at him through the window.
He also waved and then hurried away.
After leaving the city, he returned to the villa and asked for a Yingzhao horse. He rode the Yingzhao and flew all the way.
Relying on Yingzhao to cross mountains and ridges, it took a whole day to reach the circular hidden valley.
In the valley, there were sword pavilions, sword furnaces, caves, etc. scattered around. After entering, he called out, "Senior
Taoist Tieyu came out of the Sword Pavilion and said, "So it's you, kid. What do you want from me?"
Shi Hao said: "Senior, I would like to ask you to help me take a look at this thing, is it still useful?" After saying that, he took out the stone bone.
Taoist Tie Yu took the stone bone and looked at the purple divine crystal on it. He was moved and said, "Is this the Thunder Lord? How did it become like this?"
Shi Hao did not hide it either. He told the story of how the Dukui Sect created the "Xuanhuang Dao Body", how the Shenting Sect placed the "Lei Zun" inside the Xuanhuang Dao Body, and how after the Xuanhuang Dao Body exploded, only this bone was left.
Taoist Master Tie Yu looked at the stone bone carefully, and after a while, he said, "You want to make it into a new magic weapon? That's not impossible."
Shi Hao said happily: "Senior, can you do this?"
Taoist Tie Yu smiled and said, "Who am I? Although this matter is troublesome, it is not unsolvable. But I never do business at a loss."
Shi Hao remembered that Xiaoyan had embezzled a sword from him last time, and he still remembered it, so he smiled and said, "Senior, just name your price."
Taoist Master Tie Yu said, "Two thousand taels of silver. Come back in a month."
Shi Hao responded readily, "Okay!" For a top-grade magic weapon, this price is actually quite fair.
Although he couldn't come up with the money himself, he could ask the Xie Lian Sect to pay for it. After all, it was a top-grade magic weapon and the Xie Lian Sect would definitely not have any objection.
Leaving the stone bone inlaid with the divine crystal, Shi Hao thought for a while and asked Taoist Tie Yu, "Did Xiaoyan pass by here after leaving Bashan?"
Taoist Tie Yu looked at him and said, "Do you know what she is going to do?"
Shi Hao said: "She wants to go to the East China Sea to find her sister."
Taoist Tieyu sighed: "Oh, that girl!" and then said nothing more.
Shi Hao said goodbye and left, took the Yingzhao and returned to a stone town outside Daxing City. In the evening, Hou Bomin and Xianggu, who were going to attend the Hongqiu Meeting, came to meet him.
The three of them ordered some food in a corner on the first floor of the inn in the town, and talked while eating.
"Monkey Thief" Hou Bomin said, "I'm afraid I can't go to the East China Sea."
Shi Hao was surprised and asked, "Why is that?"
Hou Bomin said, "Two old friends came to me and asked me for help. They hope I can go with them to Xuzhou. From their looks, the matter is quite important. After all, we are old friends. Although I don't know what they are going to do, I still have to help them."
For people in the underworld, connections and relationships are very important, and invitations to fight are common. Shi Haozi couldn't say anything.
Hou Bomin whispered, "Those two are from the Taoist sect. Although they haven't made their purpose clear, the message they gave is clearly 'something big'. And they themselves were entrusted by someone. Seeing how excited they are, the person who entrusted them must be an important figure."
Shi Hao's mind moved slightly: "Can I ask, what do they mainly do?"
Hou Bomin smiled and said, "It's all about Feng Shui. I used to do some tomb raiding work and often cooperated with them. This time, they came to me, so it must be related to this kind of thing."
The so-called "touching gold" is actually tomb robbing!
Xuzhou happened to be an important point on the Grand Canal built by the Barbarian Court.
Shi Hao asked, "When I get to the East Coast, who should I contact to find Xiaoyan?"
Hou Bomin said, "There is a three-pointed peak in Haiyan County beside the Qiantang River. There is a Taoist temple on the mountainside, which worships the great spiritual official of Dutian, Wang E Wang Lingguan. There is an old Taoist named Zhong in the temple. You can go find him and just say that I asked you to go."
Shi Hao whispered, "Thank you!" and then looked at the mushrooms.
Xianggu pretended not to see him and just turned his head this way and that.
Shi Hao smiled and said, "Miss Xianggu, is there anywhere you want to go?"
Shiitake mushrooms were obviously trying to think: "Well..."
Shi Hao said directly: "If there is nothing urgent, why not go to Qiantang River. I heard that Qiantang River is a good place. It is in the lower reaches of Changhe River. We can start directly from Hanshui River and take a boat downstream. It will not be difficult to go to Qiantang River."
Xianggu said: "This..."
Shi Hao said, "It's settled!" He finished his meal in two or three bites, paid the bill, grabbed the mushroom's hand, and looked at Hou Bomin, "We'll leave first."
Xianggu shouted, "Wait, wait, I didn't say I was going... wait." And he dragged her away like that.
Hou Bomin laughed and said, "This kid might have learned bad habits from Xiaoyan." After a while, he also got up and left, heading south.
Chapter 226 The Great River Flows East
Shi Hao first took the mushrooms back to the villa, and then entered Daxing City.
When they arrived at Daxing City, they met Yue Jiao, but Yue Jiao said, "Brother Shi, I'm afraid I can't go to the East China Sea with you.
Shi Hao was surprised and asked, "What happened?"
Du Yuejiao said, "The Immortal Sect is planning to completely abandon Daxing City, and the main body of Daxing City will also be closed. A large amount of immortal materials in Lingqiong Cliff will also be transported away, and Master has been assigned the task of escorting the immortal materials. I am not very reassured, so I want to follow Master and return to the Immortal Sect together."
Shi Hao pondered and said, "Actually, you may not necessarily want to stay in Chongxian Sect."
Du Yuejiao said: "That's true, but Master also grew up in Kunzhen Court of Xianmen since she was young. If she leaves Xianmen, she doesn't know where to go for a while."
Shi Hao thought about it. Although he wanted both of them to follow him, Yue Jiao didn't know about his relationship with her master yet, so it was not easy to bring it up... and he was not sure how she would react after she knew.
Besides, he himself has no fixed place to live at the moment, and it may not be safe for them to follow him. However, Chongxianmen is still the largest sect in Taoism at present, so it would be safer for them to stay in Chongxianmen.
In addition, he could also feel that Yue Jiao had become much calmer after returning to her master.
Her soul has been eroded by the evil spirit. Although the degree does not seem to be serious at present, as she travels in the world and encounters danger, there is no guarantee that accidents will not happen.
Zhuo Mulan has been practicing asceticism since childhood and leads a simple and peaceful life. It is also a good thing for her to let Yue Jiao follow her master first.
So he nodded and said, "I will come to find you when I come back from the East China Sea."
"Yeah!" Du Yuejiao stretched out her hand, hugged his waist, and pressed her pretty face against his chest. After a while, she felt a little worried: "Master, you, you should also be careful outside..."
Shi Hao said: "Don't worry, I will pay attention to safety."
The girl said uneasily: "I mean, you... you shouldn't mess with other girls."
Shi Hao said: "Ah? This... Well, of course I will pay attention to it."
Du Yuejiao was hesitant. On the one hand, she was worried about her master. On the other hand, she was afraid that if she didn't keep an eye on him, there would be more and more women around him.
For example, the plum blossom lady and the peach blossom lady were obviously restless women. And Xu Xiaoyan, I don't know if he will go to her if I'm not by his side.
She asked, "Brother Shi, how are you going to get to the East China Sea?"
Shi Hao said: "Enter the Changhe River from the Han River, and take a boat directly down the Changhe River to the lower reaches of the Changhe River. This is the fastest way."
Du Yuejiao felt a little relieved, thinking that Xu Xiaoyan seemed to have returned to Jiangsu and Zhejiang. He would go directly into the sea from the Changhe River, so he shouldn't meet her, right
Deep down in her heart, she always felt that Shi Hao liked Xu Xiaoyan more than she liked her, which made her feel extremely uneasy.
Shi Hao hugged her tightly and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'll find the Huaimeng Grass and will be back from the East China Sea soon." He always felt that since leaving Changbai Mountain, she had become more concerned about some things.
In order to prevent her from thinking too much, he bullied her again, using a lot of props, such as ropes, whips, clamps, candles, etc. After being tortured continuously, the girl cried, "You only know how to bully me", but she was very satisfied.
Shi Hao took the Blue Sky Vermilion Fruit and the Phantom Sea Divine Ganoderma, went southeast via the Han River, and entered the Chang River.
The ship he was on was provided by Jinghua Shuiyue Pavilion. The ship was disguised and ostensibly belonged to a royal family, and all the necessary formalities were in place.
Although there were barbarian soldiers checking along the way, they did not dare to ask about the ships of the royal family.
Xianggu also followed him onto the boat. Although she didn't seem to want to go, she didn't really refuse.
If she really refused to go, Shi Hao wouldn't be able to do anything to her.
Sha Lingshan, Madam Plum Blossom and Madam Peach Blossom were also on the boat, claiming to be escorting him to Yuelian Tower, but Shi Hao felt that they were just too idle.
Among the three Evil Lotus sects, Jinghua Shuiyue Pavilion seems to be much less busy than the other two.
Along the way, Madam Plum Blossom and Madam Peach Blossom were quite attentive to him and took care of him in almost every possible way. Shi Hao even suspected that if he summoned them to sleep with him, they would not refuse.
However, Shi Hao still did not do so, because he had to be fair.
The three branch altars are actually still in the process of integration, and because he cannot spend too much time on this part, for now, the three altars are generally still doing their own thing, relying only on Grandma Shuiyue to coordinate the overall situation.
If he had a love affair with one of the altars, the other two altars would inevitably be suspicious.
And Sister Sha did not try to restrain Madam Plum Blossom and Madam Peach Blossom, which showed that she was not strict with her subordinates. However, he had been with Sha Lingshan for a long time and knew her personality, so he could do nothing about it.
Occasionally stopping on the shore along the way, we could hear everyone discussing the strange phenomena that had occurred in Wu Gorge a few days ago.
However, no one knew that they actually saved China.
If the Three Gorges were really cut off and the long river were to shift position, all kinds of natural disasters would be triggered immediately during this troubled time.
Although the Han River avoids the Wu Gorge, it is a tributary of the Yangtze River and it will be difficult for it not to be affected by then.
The Barbarian Court sent troops to investigate the matter, but of course, it was difficult to find out anything.
On weekdays, Shi Hao continued to practice. Unknowingly, his Taoism and Demonism foundations had been cultivated to the extreme. If he wanted to continue practicing, he had to advance.
When he had nothing to do, he would sit on the deck with Sha Lingshan, enjoying the scenery along the river, chatting and laughing, and discussing martial arts with each other.
As for Shiitake Mushroom, most of the time, she was busy with the various insects in her sack.
The bottles and jars filled with strange insects were moving around, and sometimes one by one would crawl out of them, of all kinds, which made one's scalp tingle.
Neither Lady Plum Blossom nor Lady Peach Blossom wanted to get close to her.
When he had nothing to do at night, Shi Hao would go and bully Little Feicui, and beat her to death... Who made her bite him in Yuanshi Cave Heaven
Now that Master's wife is not here, who can protect you
Little Feicui was bullied by him.
The Han River originally flows southeast. After entering the Changhe River, it continues to flow southeast for a considerable distance. It will not turn northeast until it reaches Poyang Lake.
When we arrived in this area, there were more and more refugees along the way. Those in the south wanted to flee to the north, and those in the north wanted to flee to the south.
As a result, they continue to gather on both sides of this long river.
At one place, there were corpses everywhere on the river bank and floating on the river. The dead were all refugees, and no one knew which group had killed them.
Shi Hao had no way to deal with this. After all, such things would happen more and more frequently.
On the way, Long Niu also boarded the boat and reported to him some of the intelligence she had collected.
The news of the Emperor's tour really caused a sensation. For a moment, people from all walks of life were in a panic, but the undercurrent was still surging, and there was even a feeling that a storm was about to come.
"Masters from all over the martial arts world are quietly gathering together. No one except the Taisu Immortal Pavilion can have such appeal," Sha Lingshan analyzed. "Yun Caiyao must have discovered Lie Zunyi's true intentions and is making responses. The Six Sects have also become active because of this. As for the Chongxian Sect, the entire strategic situation is shrinking. I'm afraid they intend to sit on the mountain and watch the fight."
Shi Hao said: "The question is, how much of Lie Zunyi's peak strength does he still have? It is said that three hundred years ago, he was also a rare master among foreign races. Only Fairy Shengxuan and Emperor Mei were better than him. Fairy Shengxuan was also a rare genius in Taisu Xian Pavilion."
"I don't think that Taisu Xian Pavilion has really cultivated a top-grade expert comparable to Fairy Shengxuan. In other words, if Taisu Xian Pavilion had really cultivated a new expert comparable to Fairy Shengxuan in the past three hundred years, he would have come out long ago and would not have been delayed until now."
Sha Lingshan also nodded: "This Yun Caiyao, it seems that she was forced out by the matter of the real dragon energy in Longshou Mountain in Daxing City. She had no choice but to go into battle. But if she dares to show up, she must be a top-grade master. Alas, it's a pity that in the past three hundred years of my Xie Lian Sect, let alone a legendary master like the Sect Master, even a top-grade master cannot be reached."
At this point, she asked in a low voice: "May I ask, young master, when will the sect master be able to show up? In this world, if the sect master returns, he will be invincible in the universe."
Shi Hao said: "To be honest, it won't be that fast. It will take a few months." According to Sister Zi Yin and Master's wife, they need to wait until he reaches the fourth level and then help them do something. Then, they can leave Yuanshi Cave Heaven.
Having said that, even if Master's wife comes out again, she will not be invincible in the universe. After all, her powerful enemy, Fairy Shengxuan, will also come back, and soon thereafter, there will be another catastrophe in the martial arts world.
Shi Hao felt a headache. He didn't want the two of them to fight to the death. He definitely didn't want to see the situation where only one of them could walk out of Yuanshi Cave Heaven alive.
But if both of them come out, the people of the world will probably still not have peace.
Sha Lingshan was unaware of his concerns, and was relieved to know that the sect master would be able to return in a few months... He had waited for three hundred years, so what were a few months
That day, their ship finally entered Poyang Lake.
It was already late in the evening, the moon was high in the sky, and the surface of the lake was rippling with light, as if a school of fish were swaying leisurely on the lake.
The moon was no longer full, but still bright. The boat slowly stopped. Opposite them was a gorgeous pleasure boat, about six feet long, about the same size as their merchant ship, but with lanterns hanging high and brocade flowers paved, it looked like a boat used by ladies from noble families to cruise the lake.
The pleasure boat slowly stopped in front of them, and someone on the opposite side called softly, "Excuse me, is the young master here?" Sha Lingshan smiled and said, "This is the voice of the Moon Altar Master. I will send the young master here."
Chapter 227 Yueyaotai and Mushrooms
Shi Hao left the cabin, and on the other side, the sleepy Xianggu was also invited out by Madam Meihua.
