Chapter 208 Azure Dragon Mountain
The wind is gentle and the sun is shining, and the sails are swaying.
Seeing that the shadow of Yunyang Prefecture was getting smaller and smaller, the old captain took off his bamboo hat and walked into the boat pavilion.
He is tall, with skin that has been exposed to the sun for many years, which looks a bit dark, and his face is wrinkled by wind and frost. Although he is dressed in shabby blue clothes, his white hair is neatly combed, giving him a certain imposing manner.
"I've met senior."
Everyone stood up one after another.
"You are all too polite." The old captain smiled heartily, clasped his fists and said, "I'm Zhang ShuiSheng. My friends on the road gave me the name 'Fast Boat Zhang' to save my face."
Li Yan and others were immediately in awe upon hearing this.
Secret Sign This matter is not something that happens casually in the arena.
Either you are fast with knives and have good kung fu, or you have craftsmanship and are outstanding in a certain profession, which has to pass the test of time.
After all, once you have a reputation, it will take time for it to spread outwards.
Or others just find out about it and then die, and no matter how popular the name is, it will never be called. Moreover, colleagues in the world have to speak out.
If you give yourself a name, it will be a joke.
Being able to call him "Fast Boat Zhang" is enough to show his ability.
The old man laughed, and then his expression became solemn, "I and Elder Han are also old acquaintances, and the river has not been peaceful recently."
"If it weren't for Elder Han's reputation and said that you are all powerful warlocks, I would really like to take a break."
"Oh?"
Li Yan frowned slightly, "Senior, can you elaborate..."
"Wait a minute!"
Zhang ShuiSheng was about to speak when Lu San's ears suddenly moved and he raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
He came to the river and listened carefully.
But when the water surface was clear and the sailboat was sailing through the waves, nothing could be heard except the sound of rushing water.
However, Li Yan and others were already alert and put their hands on the handles of their knives.
Lu San awakened Ear Mystical Power, who is not only special than others, he can understand the language of birds and animals, and his hearing is also extremely powerful.
He pinched Yang Jue and listened, and he must have discovered something.
But after listening to Lu San for a while, his face suddenly became a little strange, and then he patted the side of the boat with his hand and made a strange sound.
Wow!
Not long after, waves surged on the surface of the water, revealing swollen scaly heads, swimming in from all directions.
All are Chinese Alligator.
"E" is the same as "crocodile", which is related to the ancient E country.
Li Yan Along the way, he has discovered that there are many Chinese Alligator in the water, which is Yangtze Crocodile in his previous life.
Chinese Alligator, also known as Alligator Dragon, earth dragon, was not a threat when it was young, but was a bit stupid. Because it often appeared when the river fog was thick, it was considered to be spiritual.
Wow!
The water surface beside the boat shook violently, and a fat figure emerged from the river and hurriedly climbed into the cabin.
It was the fat young man from the rich family Lin Yu.
At this moment, he was wearing black tights, carrying a leather bag on his back, and holding a bulging thing in his mouth.
On his hands, he also wore leather gloves with barbs.
As soon as he got on the boat, he coughed and spat out water. He took out the thing from his mouth with a look of embarrassment, but it turned out to be something like a fish bubble, exuding a faint yin energy.
"Yo ho."
Sha LiFei was happy, "Young Master Lin, you have quite a complete set of things. Are you from the sea exploration line?"
Lin Yu looked embarrassed, "This... makes you laugh."
Li Yan's face darkened, "Young Master Lin, you are really brave and follow you secretly. Aren't you afraid that we will find an opportunity to do you?"
Lin Yu turned pale and waved his hands quickly. "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean any harm. I just feel unwilling to wait for so long without seeing what it is."
"Also, that thing must be a treasure. Without my help, you might not even be able to find it."
"I just wanted to see what it was. After I saw it, I wasn't interested anymore..."
Li Yan still frowned, "Senior Chen took great care of you and even sent you to the capital. It's a bit irresponsible of you to do this."
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Lin Yu shook his head and said, "Don't let him fool you, the Chen family is not as simple as it seems."
"They Lineage are very powerful, and they are still planning some things involving Imperial Court fights. Even my father warned me not to get too close to each other."
"If you want to take it, you must first give it to it."
"This is what is written in the Chen family's motto. No matter how many benefits there are in dealing with them, there will be higher costs later."
"If I were escorted to Beijing by him, within three days, this matter would definitely spread in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the Chen family would be righteous. If anyone is kidnapped by them because of this, it would be my fault..."
Li Yan nodded slightly and did not refute.
In fact, he had already discovered something fishy.
If Chen Yuanqing is just an ordinary businessman, how can he have the ability to place Han Kun in the position of elder Cao Gang?
He broke through the three meridians of holding back treasures in one breath, and he obviously has a deep understanding of Xuanmen...
Now it is obvious that Emperor Daxuan used Open Sea Trade to support the Chamber of Commerce and suppress the local gentry and gentry in various places.
Yunyang Prefecture In such an important place, the opponent stands here and watches the waves in the city. Who knows if he will be one of the chess players?
Li Yan doesn't care about the kind of people who yell and kill when they come up. They just find ways to deal with them.
This kind of old fox with a kind face is what makes people more wary.
Thinking of this, he looked aside calmly.
"Fast Boat Zhang" saw this and quickly waved his hand and said, "I am only responsible for sending people off and ignore other matters. Since they are friends, you can handle it yourself."
After that, he handed over his hands and left the cabin.
Li Yan looked at Lin Yu again, changed the topic and asked, "Young Master Lin, is it possible that you just want to leave the rich family and don't want the fame and fame, so you are going to live in the world?"
"Of course not."
Lin Yu said with a simple and honest face, "You can play as you please halfway, but if I miss the exam in Beijing, my father will definitely skin me."
"To be honest, Azure Dragon Mountain's treasure, after seeing it in Master's notes many years ago, I have been thinking about it day and night, scratching my liver and lungs, always wondering if it has anything to do with dragons."
"Everyone, I will follow you and take a look. After my wish is fulfilled, I will leave and go to the capital."
"That's okay too."
Li Yan nodded and said, "But Young Master Lin, you'd better be honest. If you die on the way, I won't care."
This Lin Yu dares to wander around alone. He has obviously practiced some boxing and kicking, plus various secret skills, and he is somewhat capable.
It's just that I'm new to the industry and don't have enough experience.
Sha LiFei smiled and poured a glass of wine attentively, "Young Master Lin, I have to say, you are lucky to have met us."
"Thank you."
The chill of early spring had not yet dissipated. After soaking in the water for a long time, Lin Yu was already pale from the cold. He took the drink and took a sip. He smiled and said, "Of course I asked about it and knew that you are all righteous people in the world, so I followed shamelessly."
"If we are really caught, we will lose money and eliminate disaster at worst."
"Spending money to eliminate disaster?"
Sha LiFei was happy, and his eyes became gloomy, "With a Treasure Hunter like you, how much more money do you need? If I catch you, I will use poison to control you, and let you hold back your treasure in exchange for your life. Won't the money keep flowing?"
Lin Yu After hearing this, his face suddenly turned pale.
"Hahaha..."
Everyone in the boat was immediately amused. Even Lu San looked at Lin Yu as if he was looking at a fool.
Sha LiFei patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid, I'm trying to scare you."
"But after this incident, you'd better go to the capital honestly. If you want to survive, don't tell others that you are Treasure Hunter."
"In the world of martial arts, there are only a few people who dare to commit suicide for a few taels of silver..."
Azure Dragon Mountain is not far from Yunyang Prefecture.
"Everyone, we're here."
Less than half an hour later, with the cry of "Fast Boat Zhang", everyone walked out of the cabin to watch.
I saw a hilly area beside the river. The terrain is high in the west and low in the east, sloping to the south and north. The mountains are full of green and lush under the sun.
Wang Dao Xuan took out the compass and looked at it, shook his head and said, "The feng shui here can only be said to be average."
"Fast Boat Zhang" next to him hesitated for a moment and said, "Everyone, I am not a talkative person. I have been sailing for many years and I have never heard of any treasures here."
"Some time ago, I heard that wild beasts often attack people in the nearby mountains and forests, which makes people panic and people don't dare to go up the mountain anymore."
Li Yan said seriously, "To be honest, we accepted the reward from City God Temple and came here to see what happened."
"That's good."
The old man obviously knew that Li Yan was hiding something, but he did not reveal it. He nodded and said, "Then I will be waiting for you on the shore."
Lin Yu on the side said quickly, "Boatman, we will have to wait until at least tomorrow before we enter the mountain. Please don't be in a hurry."
Li Yan was moved in his heart and didn't ask any more questions.
He knew that Lin Yu must have a reason for saying this.
It was just after noon, and everyone had already eaten dry food on the boat. After packing their luggage, they jumped onto the river bank and disappeared along the hillside into the dense forest.
"Master Zhang, are they really going to find the treasure?"
A boatman couldn't help but ask.
"Fast Boat Zhang" Hearing this, his expression immediately changed slightly and he reprimanded. "Have you forgotten the rules? Just give it away and don't ask any questions."
"I don't care about other people, just follow me on the boat and stick to these rules to save your lives."
"Even if someone gets the treasure, it has nothing to do with us!"
"Also, these are all powerful Xuan Gate People. If you want to think about those rivers, you must ask others for advice."
"The tricks revealed in other people's mouths are enough for you to have a lifetime of food and drink!"
"Master Zhang is wise!"
The boatmen all flattered and complimented him.
Click!
Sha LiFei wielded the hatchet and cut down the branches blocking the road.
The mountains here are not high. Compared with the Taibai and Huashan mountains they have climbed, they are no more than a small slope.
However, it is a real wilderness.
There are no roads on the mountain, and the lush vegetation is very obstructive.
Seeing that he was far away from the river bank, Li Yan turned around and asked, "Brother Lin, what do you mean, is that thing still hiding?"
Lin Yu nodded and said, "That's natural."
"Every Heavenly Spiritual Treasure has the blessings of heaven and earth, and is also protected by heaven and earth. Wherever you hide, there will definitely be a situation and cover up."
"According to what my master said, this thing only appears for a short time on the 15th day of the lunar month and the full moon Zi Hour, and it is very secretive."
"If Non-Self has Divine Ability, you couldn't see it at all last time."
"That's not right."
Sha LiFei turned his head when he heard this, "Since this treasure is well hidden and won't show up easily, how can there be news about Strange Beast hurting people?"
Lin Yu shook his head and said, "You don't know, some Heavenly Spiritual Treasure will inevitably be discovered by wild beasts in the mountains after a long time."
"These things are usually very spiritual and have good moral principles. They will stay next to Heavenly Spiritual Treasure, waiting for the opportunity to devour them."
"Perhaps when the baby is about to appear, the guardian spirit beast becomes anxious and attacks the people who go up the mountain."
"That makes sense."
Li Yan nodded and looked to the side Lu San: "Brother Brother Lu, I'm sorry to trouble you. Let's take a look at what's strange in the mountains first."
Lu San didn't waste any words and immediately released the shoulder-mounted hawk.
At the same time, he also took out two pills from his arms and kept squeaking in his mouth, as if calling for something.
Lin Yu's eyes lit up, "The art of controlling beasts?"
Lu San glanced at him and ignored him.
This young man from a rich family was simply a curious baby. He looked around all the way, always looking at Demon Gourd and Little White Fox in the bamboo basket.
Of course, Severing Dust Blade also looked left and right.
Once all magic weapons are subdued, their aura will be restrained, and their power will not show until they are used.
Ordinary people can't see it, but in his eyes, Li Yan and the others are like moving treasure houses, surrounded by Treasure Qi all over their bodies.
This is one of the reasons why Lin Yu followed.
Soon, there was a rustling sound in the grass, and several mountain rats emerged from the ground. They hesitated at first, but in the end they couldn't bear the temptation and came to the feet of Lu San.
Lu San Knead the pills into powder and feed them to the mice while making squeaking sounds in the mouth.
The mice also responded, squeaking and squawking.
The so-called "separate lines are like mountains". Everyone found it interesting, but they couldn't figure out how to communicate with mice by just barking.
After a while, the mice scattered in all directions.
Lu San looked up at the sky again. When the falcon fell from the sky and screamed again, his expression became serious.
He turned around and said, "This mountain is very ordinary. The eagle has not seen anything, but the mouse has seen dead people moving around in the middle of the night."
"Zombies?"
Li Yan frowned, not expecting this result.
Lin Yu also had a face full of astonishment, shaking his head and saying, "Impossible, what I saw was obviously a dragon-shaped Treasure Qi, how could it be a zombie?"
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and frowned and said, "Could there be an ancient tomb in the mountain? It's impossible... If there is a tomb, it will definitely not be hidden from Master's eyes."
"Once you find it, it will become clear."
Li Yan's expression remained unchanged, and he turned to look at Wang Dao Xuan, "Daoist Master, since there are zombies, it's up to you."
"Hmm."
Wang Dao Xuan took out the compass directly from his arms, and while looking at the surrounding terrain, he said, "Yin Fiend Land likes zombies the most. If there is one on the mountain, it must be hiding in the place where the Yin Qi gathers..."
As he said that, he turned to look at Lu San, "The mountainous terrain here is interesting because of the air flow. Brother Lu San, ask the falcon if the terrain on the mountain is dustpan-shaped?"
After getting Lu San's confirmation, he stroked his beard and said, "The way we go up the mountain is the yang, and the opposite side is the yin of the mountain. The force is like a dustpan, and the yin does not scatter."
"If there are zombies, they will be hidden on the other side of the mountain."
"Let's go, be careful."
Li Yan nodded and immediately walked forward to lead the way. At the same time, he pinched Yang Seal so as not to let go of any odor.
Seeing the tacit cooperation among several people, Lin Yu couldn't help but secretly praise him and followed closely behind.
This Azure Dragon Mountain is not high. Although it is blocked by vegetation and difficult to walk, a few people have climbed to the top of the mountain in less than half an hour.
Looking down, there is indeed a mountain col on the other side, shaped like a dustpan, with towering trees and dense mountain fog.
Li Yan, on the other hand, frowned, came to the foot of a big tree on the top of the mountain, and picked up half of Yellow Talisman from the ground.
On the other side under the tree, there are overturned Pottery Bowl and incense ash...
