Chapter 434: Be low-key
The blue bird flew away eight thousand miles, and I returned to Gusu City in my dream with a lantern.
Seeing this blue bird again, Wang Qiye was still filled with emotion. The blue wings sparkled with mysterious light in the sun, as if carrying endless stories and legends.
"Welcome, Elder Mo." Song Wujie was the first to stand up and greet him. His voice was respectful and loud, breaking the silence at the moment.
The others followed closely and bowed, "Welcome, Elder Mo." Everyone moved in unison, with awe on their faces.
Mo Laojiu floated down and nodded. His figure was like an immortal descending from the earth, revealing an extraordinary temperament.
He looked at a strange short-haired Jindan monk with a sharp gaze, as if it could penetrate directly into a person's heart. "You're the one who wants to hitchhike?"
Wang Qiye saluted again.
"It's me." His voice was a little nervous, but he tried to stay calm.
After saying this, he didn't know whether the law enforcement officer of Qinglei Peak had paid the toll or not, so he took out a demon beast's inner core from his storage bag and threw it over as toll.
Mo Laojiu stretched out his hand and took a closer look. His stern face looked better. The originally tense lines relaxed slightly, with a hint of imperceptible satisfaction.
He threw the monster's inner core behind him, and the blue bird pecked and swallowed it as fast as lightning, and it disappeared into its mouth like eating candy beans.
"Now that everyone is here, let's go." Mo Laojiu waved his sleeves, and everyone left the ground and landed in a light shield on the broad back of the Blue Bird.
"Gah-"
The bluebird cried out, flapped its wings, and everyone rose into the air at high speed.
The powerful airflow swept over, and everyone only heard the whistling of wind in their ears and the scene in front of them changed rapidly.
A hundred breaths later, the blue bird had begun to slow down, and Wang Qiye was now 126 million miles away from Lingxi Valley.
Surrounding us is a strange and vast world, with clouds and mist and undulating mountains, which makes people feel insignificant.
"Go down." Mo Laojiu waved his sleeves and threw Wang Qiye out of the cover on the back of the blue bird. The force was so strong and so fast that Wang Qiye was thrown into the air in an instant.
Wang Qiye flipped over and stood in the air. He bowed in the direction of the blue bird and said, "Thank you, Elder Mo."
When I looked up again, the blue bird was gone. It disappeared into the sky like lightning, leaving only an empty blue sky.
"This Blue Bird is still as fast as ever. I just don't know where it was thrown to, and the law enforcement officer didn't even tell me." Wang Qiye scratched his head, a helpless smile showing on his face.
But once it comes, let's make peace with it.
Wang Qiye smiled. Without any restraint, he felt that he had completely broken free from the shackles and liberated his nature. His unruly nature naturally revealed itself.
There was a gleam of freedom in his eyes, as if this vast world would become a stage for him to gallop freely.
He calmly performed the Feather Falling Technique, and his body was like a soft feather, floating lightly and slowly falling towards the sky ten thousand meters below.
When he finally stood firmly on the ground, under the quiet operation of the breath-retaining technique "Mangosteen Withering Technique", his powerful cultivation was instantly restrained.
At this moment, if a cultivator looked at him with spiritual vision, he could only vaguely perceive that he was a cultivator at the ninth level of the foundation building stage.
His rich experience in the past told him that it is better to keep a low profile when he is away from home.
When you first enter this mundane world, everything is so new and fresh.
Apart from the almost negligible spiritual energy around him, which made him feel a little uncomfortable, even an inconspicuous weed around him made him feel at home.
Walking along the ancient road, Wang Qiye was in a dilemma when he came to a fork in the road.
Coincidentally, there was an old farmer who was weeding hard in the field next to him, and Wang Qiye hurried over.
"Father, how do I get to the biggest city?"
The old man who was weeding wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the person clearly, and bowed respectfully, "I didn't know you were coming, and I hope you will forgive me for not welcoming you."
"Sir, if you follow this road and go east for 30 miles, you will reach the largest ferry here, Bijiang Ferry. It is very prosperous there."
Wang Qiye was full of surprise. He looked at himself carefully and thought that his disguise was pretty good.
I didn't realize how noble my attire was. "Father, why do you think I'm an adult?"
The old man smiled naively, "My Lord, the jade pendant in front of you is not an ordinary thing. Even though I am so close, I can tell at a glance that this thing is full of fairy spirit."
Wang Qiye suddenly realized that it was this jade pendant that betrayed him. He was used to wearing it and took it for granted.
But outsiders knew the identity of the visitor was extraordinary as soon as they saw the jade pendant.
In this earthly world, jade is like the magical stone in the fairyland, it is extremely precious and not something that the common people can afford.
Anyone who could afford to wear a jade pendant was either a local gentry or a high-ranking official.
The old weeding man's next words were obviously a compliment, but he actually happened to guess them right.
Wang Qiye took out a water gourd from his storage bag and threw it over. "Thank you for showing me the way, old man."
The old man weeding quickly let go of his hoe and reached out to take it. "It's just a small thing that I said, but I'm sorry to make you worry about it."
Wang Qiye said goodbye to the old weeding man and walked briskly towards the Bijiang Ferry he mentioned.
The old weeding man was feeling extremely thirsty, so he opened the water hyacinth and took a big sip.
I just felt that the water in the gourd was so sweet and delicious. After taking a sip, I seemed to be filled with strength all at once, and the previous feeling of fatigue was swept away.
"Could it be that I was blinded by the scorching sun?"
He glanced at the big sun hanging high in the sky, then tilted his head back and gulped down the water in the gourd.
"Hey, it's so good, you are so reluctant to give it up. If you take it to the market, you can exchange it for ten big coins."
The old weeding man looked at Wang Qiye who was walking away and grinned, revealing his mouth with several missing teeth.
Little did he know that the gourd of water he drank was much more valuable than the gourd itself.
It flows down from the fairy mountain and has been tainted with some fairy air. Although it has been overnight, it is still far superior to ordinary water. Drinking it all year round will definitely prolong your life.
This is probably the kind of fate that is hard to come by.
Wang Qiye took only a few steps before he carefully and quietly put away the jade pendant that he used to show off his status.
He checked carefully again. This time, apart from the five knives on his back that showed that he was not someone who could be easily provoked, there was nothing else conspicuous on his body.
Wang Qiye walked until the sun set in the west and the setting sun turned blood red before he finally reached the Bijiang Ferry that the old man had mentioned.
The Daosha Domain is like a lost pearl. Although it is only a small domain struggling to survive in the cracks, it is fortunately endowed with an amazing treasure - the mighty Bijiang River.
The Bijiang River is like a giant, agile dragon, winding through the Luosha Territory. The river water is clear and green, and the waves are shimmering, shining with charming brilliance under the sunlight. As the largest river in this land, it not only nourishes the countless lives on both sides of the river, but also injects endless vitality and hope into the Daosha Territory.
Bijiang Ferry is located in the buffer zone of the middle reaches of Bijiang River. The water flow here is relatively gentle, forming an excellent harbor naturally. The surrounding area of the ferry is full of rolling hills and lush green trees, which complement the rippling river water.
Viewed from a distance, Bijiang Ferry looks like a magnificent landscape painting that is fascinating.
Bijiang Ferry is located at the transportation hub of Daosha Territory, connecting various important regions. Merchants can use it to transport goods to all directions and make huge profits.
As the number of merchant ships continued to increase, Bijiang Ferry gradually became bustling. Merchant ships shuttled across the river, and the flags on the bows fluttered in the wind. The dock was crowded with people, and the workers carrying goods shouted in unison, with voices rising and falling one after another.
The streets are lined with tall buildings and shops, with carved and painted buildings scattered in an orderly manner, and exquisite signs shining charmingly in the sun. The shops are full of dazzling goods, from precious magic weapons to rare spiritual materials.
Even the monks passing by were attracted by this prosperous city and were willing to rest for a few days.
Gradually, this city has become a gathering place for monks. Some herbs, talismans, and magical instruments that are difficult to buy outside can be bought here.
This will attract more monks to gather and stop.
Bijiang Ferry is not only well-known in the secular world, but also a rare treasure place in the circle of monks.
As Bijiang Ferry became more prosperous, tax revenue became more abundant. Every day, the golden coins flowed into the treasury of Daosha Domain like water, becoming the biggest cash cow of Daosha Domain.
In order to ensure the safety of Bijiang Ferry, the Lord of Daosha Territory specially dispatched a garrison of 100,000 people. This garrison was composed of elite soldiers who were well-equipped and well-trained. They built a solid defense line around Bijiang Ferry, patrolled day and night, and vigilantly watched every move around.
The arrival of the garrison brought a strong deterrent force to Bijiang Ferry. Those monks who passed by with lofty ambitions had to restrain their behavior when they saw such a powerful garrison.
Even the robbers and pirates in the surrounding areas could only envy this prosperous port and did not dare to have the slightest greed.
But today, the blood-red setting sun shines on this bustling city.
The strong red afterglow, like a thick veil, slowly enveloped the streets and alleys. The light of the setting sun illuminated the eaves, walls and streets, giving everything a strange and sad color.
Faced with this strange phenomenon in the world, the people in the city just smiled and continued to indulge in their luxurious life as usual.
In the streets and alleys, wealthy businessmen are still toasting each other in luxurious restaurants, laughing and talking happily; noble sons ride on their horses, showing off their gorgeous clothes and accessories in the crowd; dancers twist their bodies on the stage, showing their charm and style.
No one cared about the blood-red setting sun, as if this strange scene was just an insignificant episode in life.
They lost themselves in this life of decadence and luxury, unaware of the unknown changes that were about to come, and still immersed in the seemingly eternal prosperity and enjoyment.
