Since Wei Yuansheng said so, Yan Fei, Lu Chengfeng and others naturally had no objection. People of the martial arts world have their own demeanor and will not be fussy. However, Zuo Wuji thought of something and spoke quickly.
"Then I'll write a letter to the Second and Third Masters, and then we'll set off right away, right?"
"Okay."
Lu Chengfeng agreed with this. Even if Zuo Wuji didn't write it, he would have written it. Wang Ke and Du Heng jointly represented the Dazhen court and the martial arts world to mediate in the original Zuyue martial arts world. They were very busy, so he just needed to leave a letter to tell them where they were going.
The couple who were busy in the kitchen happened to come over with a teapot of freshly brewed tea. Upon hearing this, they hurriedly asked.
"Hero Yan, are you leaving?"
Yan Fei nodded and said to the couple.
"If lunch is ready, please prepare it quickly. We may leave immediately."
"Hey, the meal is ready. Serve it right away, right away!"
"Yes, heroes, please wait a moment."
The couple did not dare to delay and hurried to the kitchen. When they entered the kitchen, the wife seemed relieved and whispered to her husband.
"Hero Yan and his men left in such a hurry. They haven't been here for a few days. It seems they didn't come to..."
"What are you talking about? This manor was originally entrusted to us by Hero Yan. It is only right that we return it to Hero Yan. Let's stop talking and serve the food quickly."
Although the husband said this, his tone was obviously much more relaxed. Thinking about the baby who was still sleeping in the house, this manor was very important to them.
Wei Yuansheng turned his head with a hint of amusement and looked towards the kitchen, then turned his gaze back to look at Yan Fei and Lu Chengfeng. One of them was holding a teacup and the other was holding a teapot. There was nothing unusual on their faces, but with their martial arts skills at this level, they could definitely hear what was said in the kitchen.
“Human!”
Wei Yuansheng sighed, then changed his mind and laughed.
"It wouldn't be true if it weren't so."
Yan Fei took a sip of tea and smiled.
"Ben sent them."
…
After lunch, Wei Yuansheng sent the letter written by Zuo Wuji to the Luoqing City government office and had it delivered by the post. Then he found a relatively inconspicuous corner, took the three of them on a white jade boat and flew away. His flying skills were not enough to make him fast with three warriors, so he had to rely on the help of magic weapons.
Zuo Wuji seemed very excited sitting on the white jade boat. He climbed on the side of the boat and looked forward and then down. The feeling of being high in the air made him a little dizzy but also very strange.
"Luoqing City is getting smaller and smaller. The mountains over there seem so close... Hey, why is that big river..."
Zuo Wuji saw a river in the distance that looked very wide even from the sky. He knew that it was the Tongtian River, but he had never thought it was so wide when he passed by it before.
Not only Zuo Wuji, Yan Fei and Lu Chengfeng, but even Wei Yuansheng's attention was attracted by Tongtian River.
"It is indeed the Tongtian River. It seems that the river basin has changed."
As Yan Fei was speaking, the flying boat had already flown into the Tongtian River basin, and the sky suddenly darkened. It was not because it was going to get dark, but because there were dark clouds on this side and it was raining lightly.
"Clatter..." The rain fell, but it slid down from both sides of the white jade flying boat. Wei Yuansheng looked up at the sky above his head. The dark clouds were much higher than ordinary clouds.
"The Tongtian River has indeed become much wider. I don't know when I can see the Tongtian River again."
Lu Chengfeng took a sip of wine.
Wei Yuansheng looked down at Tongtian River and said with a strange emotion.
"My master told me that since Dazhen completely conquered Zuyue and reorganized the various regions into the new six states, it has been raining in more than half of the Tongtian River. The land has changed, but the rain has never stopped. The riverbanks in many places have been flooded, but the speed is not fast. Some small docks along the coast have been able to evacuate or change the berthing position in time."
"Really? Brother Wei, do you know why?"
Zuo Wuji asked Wei Yuansheng curiously. This immortal cultivator was very approachable, just like an older brother, so he didn't call him Immortal Master. Wei Yuansheng was also very happy that Zuo Wuji called him that. Seeing that Yan Fei and Lu Chengfeng might be curious as well, he smiled and said it frankly.
"I also asked Master, and he said that it should be Lady Ying of Tongtian River, preparing to leave by water. The energy of the Dazhen water vein will all gather together, which will be a grand event for the water tribe."
"Empress Ying? A fire?"
Zuo Wuji was still curious, while Yan Fei spoke thoughtfully.
"I heard that it was the goddess of Tongtian River. There are many river god temples along the river. As for walking on the water, I heard that it is the art of transforming into a dragon. It is a moment that thousands of water creatures yearn for and revere."
"Just as Master Yan said!"
Wei Yuansheng echoed, while Zuo Wuji looked at Tongtianjiang in disbelief.
"So that's how it is... It's beyond the imagination of mortals like us."
Lu Chengfeng took a sip of wine, glanced at Yan Fei who didn't drink, handed the wine jug to Zuo Wuji, and said in a calm tone.
"If the demons we are facing are also so powerful, can you still swing your fists and sticks?"
"Ah? No way, I'm not even qualified to stand in front of such a powerful monster..."
Zuo Wuji looked at the Tongtian River, which was hazy in the rain, and found it hard to imagine how he could fight a monster that mobilized the power of heaven and earth.
"Hmph, I am so strong and powerful that I am not afraid of death. I will use my martial spirit to forge Yuan Gang."
Yan Fei said something in a low voice, then closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing. Lu Chengfeng shook the wine gourd, and when he heard that there was not much wine, he put the cork away and lay down on the boat to take a nap. Zuo Wuji sat there in a daze, while Wei Yuansheng on the side looked at the three warriors thoughtfully.
"Refine and forge the Yuan Gang? What kind of skill is that?"
As a talented immortal cultivator, Wei Yuansheng's cultivation level is not high but he has a natural spiritual charm. He can vaguely feel that there is a strange aura on Yan Fei, Lu Chengfeng and Zuo Wuji at the moment. He can only sense it with his spiritual perception, but cannot feel it with his divine thoughts or see it with his Dharma eyes.
When Wei Yuansheng wanted to feel it again, one of the three warriors seemed to be fast asleep, and the other seemed to be in a state of tranquility. Even though Zuo Wuji was leaning on the side of the boat and looking down as if in a trance, his blood and energy were restrained, and his aura was as if he was just an ordinary teenager who had not practiced martial arts.
Logically speaking, these three are warriors, and Wei Yuansheng is an immortal in the eyes of ordinary people. But now he feels that these three warriors are more spiritual than him, an immortal cultivator. It turns out that the people that Mr. Ji values cannot be judged by common sense.
The speed of the white jade flying boat was not slow, but it would be more accurate to say that Wei Yuansheng was taking three people to Xiangang to board the Taiyun Sect's treasure ship, because before reaching Xiangang, Wei Yuansheng suddenly calculated that the treasure ship took off early, which was probably because the Taiyun Sect cultivators were eager to return to Tianyuzhou.
Wei Yuansheng took great pains to steer the white jade flying boat and catch up with the treasure ship at the critical moment. Otherwise, once the treasure ship started to speed up, he would not be able to catch up with it with his level of skill in steering the white jade flying boat.
The treasure ship was named Taiyun Feige. There were only monks from the Taiyun Sect on board. There were no other passengers at all, let alone mortals. However, Wei Yuansheng had a certificate from Yu Huaishan, so he asked the governor on the treasure ship to agree to take the three mortals on board, and Wei Yuansheng returned to Yu Huaishan to report.
The three warriors on the Taiyun Flying Pavilion were not as curious about flying as they were when they first boarded the white jade flying boat, nor were they overly restrained. Instead, they practiced martial arts whenever they had free time. Even Zuo Wuji seldom went to the deck to enjoy the scenery.
The three warriors would practice martial arts and meditate on the deck every day. Wei Yuansheng would even lend them extremely heavy objects such as the black jade he brought with him to help them practice. This also made the monks of Taiyun Sect slightly curious about the warriors, but there was no communication between them. After all, even in the eyes of all the monks of Taiyun Sect on the treasure ship, Wei Yuansheng was just a junior with the same real age and appearance.
Two and a half months later, Taiyun Feige finally arrived at Tianyu Island and could see the frozen coast that had not yet melted.
The three warriors who had just finished practicing martial arts stood by the side of the ship and looked at the frozen coastline and the snow-white land. Although the weather was cold, Zuo Wuji was shirtless, and wisps of steam rose from his diamond-like body.
Many monks from Taiyun Sect were also standing on the deck. The Governor squinted his eyes, looked at the vast land, sneered, and then looked at the three warriors not far away.
"What a chaotic world full of demons! I never thought that there would be such a day in Tianyuzhou! You three came at the wrong time."
"Don't worry, Immortal Master. Just drop us off at a suitable place."
The governor nodded. Everyone has their own aspirations. He didn't have the energy to care too much about these three warriors now, but he still handed over three small talismans.
"This is a Zhengyang Talisman. It's not a valuable item. It can drive away evil spirits and avoid miasma. It can also resist the nuisance of some evil spirits. Take it."
"Thank you, Immortal."
Yan Fei and the other two thanked him in unison and accepted the talisman.
Another half day passed, and a cultivator from the Taiyun Sect rode the wind to send the three people to the outside of a small town, and then flew up into the sky, and the Taiyun Flying Pavilion also flew away on its own.
Yan Fei and the other two stood in this unfamiliar land, breathing air that was much colder than that in Yunzhou. Yan Fei had a blank expression on his face. Lu Chengfeng swung the wine gourd in his hand, as if thinking about how to buy some wine. He had finished his wine long ago and there was nowhere to buy wine in Taiyunfei Pavilion. Those immortals were so aloof that they even provided three meals a day with pills. Only Zuo Wuji seemed a little excited.
"Let's go. Fortunately, I brought some silver with me. We can go buy some wine first."
"That's great. Although I won't feel hungry after taking the pills, I'm about to faint. Being a god is so boring!"
Zuo Wuji expressed his strong agreement and pushed his two masters towards the town ahead.
It was a pity that they had hoped too much. For fear of demons changing, the town refused to allow any strangers to enter. They only pointed out an abandoned temple outside the city to the three people, collected one or two taels of silver from the three people, and gave them two torn quilts, a pot of wine and some buns.
…
Thousands of miles away in the night, Ji Yuan lay on his side in the monk's room with his eyes slightly closed, his consciousness in a trance.
Using the thought of dream wandering to drive his own dream, between dream and semi-dream, Ji Yuan seemed to hear some sounds. The sounds were weak at first, and then gradually became clearer, but his eyes felt heavy as if filled with lead, and his body seemed unable to move, as if he had just arrived at the ruined temple in the desolate mountains that night, and he was powerless except to listen to the sounds.
This seemed like an illusion, because Ji Yuan knew that as long as he wanted to open his eyes, he could open them immediately and get up immediately. But this was not just an illusion, what he heard with his heart and ears were all sounds from far away.
Similar situations of sensing distant related people have occurred several times before, but each time was different and not entirely due to Ji Yuan's will. However, now with the improvement of his calculation skills and cultivation, Ji Yuan has begun to get a rough idea of it.
“Ding~”
Zuo Wuji used a short meat-cutting knife to knock on the steamed bun in his hand, and the sound it made was like hitting a stone.
"This is too frozen..."
Lu Chengfeng directly grabbed a steamed bun and chewed it in his mouth, making a "crunching" sound like chewing ice. He also took a sip of wine. Yan Fei looked at Zuo Wuji.
"Give me a roast."
"Yes, Master, I'll light a fire right away!"
Thousands of miles away, Ji Yuan showed a slight smile, as if he could imagine the current state of the three people. Unfortunately, this feeling faded away after a while, just like the ripples caused by a stone in the water, which will eventually calm down.
'It's a dilapidated temple again. I'm afraid they won't have peace tonight...'
Every time Ji Yuan encounters a ruined temple, something bad will happen. This time, even though he could only sense it from a distance, he felt that something was bound to happen.
As soon as Yan Fei and others arrived at Tianyu Continent, Ji Yuan felt that their chess pieces had condensed into virtual shapes from a blurred state, which showed that this step was not wrong. The rest depended on them and their luck in martial arts.
