171 The first one
In front of everyone, Zhou Jing flew across the river and floated on the shore, throwing the trembling Kong Bao to the ground, collecting his magic power.
Twenty or thirty villagers all bowed to the ground, excited and called the gods.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhou Jing couldn't help but sigh.
Sure enough, this technique of wind-calling is so convenient to pretend to be a ghost in this world.
However, you only need to bewitch others and make others think that they have supernatural powers and call themselves immortals without having to... The tune is too high and difficult to grasp, so it is better to leave room for others to imagine.
Zhou Jing thought of this and raised his palm and smiled, "Please get up, but I am not a god who came down to earth that day, but just a mountain alchemist, so there is no need to worship me."
Hearing this, many village men hesitated to get up and plucked up their courage to look at Zhou Jing.
When they saw it close, everyone was shocked. They felt that Zhou Jing looked very strange, with a high nose and deep eyes, a white jade skin, a short hair, a black and brown, unlike ordinary people.
Many villagers quickly lowered their heads, not daring to look at them, and were in awe, but they didn't feel strange in their hearts.
——The strange man and the strange appearance are worthy of being among the gods.
Seeing that everyone did not dare to speak, Zhou Jing took the initiative to say:
"I am the one who is outside the country. I have been practicing in the mountains for a long time and have not followed the world. Recently, I am very quiet and thoughtful, and have stepped into the world, looking for the heavenly opportunities and methods, and want to go to Ningtian Mansion. When I pass by this place, I meet this boatman and want to kill my life in the river. I took it. Can you tell me the origin of this person?"
When many villagers heard the question of this suspected god, they dared not refuse to answer.
An old man who looked like a village chief walked out and said in a trepidation:
"This man is called Kong Bao. He is a powerful man in the green forest nearby. He often pretends to be a boatman and takes guests to travel between the two sides of the straits. When he walks to the river, he robs money and kills his life. People from several fishing villages in the vicinity know this man, but this man is well-versed in martial arts, has outstanding water skills, and is extremely skilled. We can't do anything about it. In addition, Kong Bao usually only harms travelers from other places and does not come to invade us, so we can let him go. Now that the thief has been captured by the Dragon Prince, it is his retribution for his evil deeds."
Zhou Jing listened normally at first, but at the last sentence, he couldn't help laughing and said:
"Brother-in-law, I said, I am not a god, nor the Dragon Prince. You can call me Lingfengzi or Taoist priest."
"I understand, understand! Dragon... Taoist priest told me that I will remember it in my heart."
The village chief nodded repeatedly, but he felt even more convinced that he felt that the Dragon Prince was visiting privately, so he didn't want to be pointed out by someone.
Zhou Jing didn't insist, looked at Kong Bao, pondered for a few seconds before saying:
"Since you are a thief who is a single gang, you will tie this person up and take it to the official."
Upon hearing this, Kong Bao quickly turned over and knelt down and shouted, "Grandpa Taoist! I will not dare to do it again in the future! I am willing to surrender and serve you in the future!"
"...What are you thinking about?"
Zhou Jing was speechless and pointed at Kong Bao's neck and poked him hard, directly poking him fainted.
The third apostle Bill is now at 25 points in physical strength, which is only a little weaker than Chen Feng's initial physical strength. In the current standards of this world, he is also a "high-skilled person" and has a lot of strength.
I currently want to let Bill take the upper level route, so it would be troublesome to bring this person with me.
Besides, he just discovered that Kong Bao's attributes were not very skilled in martial arts. Among the Green Fortune Heroes that Chen Feng knew, he could not rank at all.
If you assume that Lu Yunzhao's martial arts value is 90, Kong Bao is at most early 70, not very powerful, and it's okay to bully ordinary people.
"Thank you, Master, for helping us get rid of this."
Many villagers quickly thanked him, bravely stepped forward, and tied the hole tightly with ropes.
Zhou Jing no longer paid attention to this matter, changed the subject and asked these locals carefully about the geographical situation nearby.
Everyone answered questions and quickly explained the situation nearby.
This place is only three or four days away from Ningtian Mansion. Go down the river and you can reach the port west of Ningtian Mansion City. It is called Ximen Du. It is one of the prosperous water transport terminals of Ningtian Mansion and a large bay in Chunshan River.
Ships from south to north are mooring there, loading and unloading goods, and can be said to be thousands of boats across the river, with sails like clouds and extremely lively.
Zhou Jing's eyes flashed and he had an idea.
'Since you have to take the route of pretending to be a monster, you don't have to use the idea of slowly accumulating fame. It's better to just make a big shot... I want to become famous in Ningtian Mansion and take the upper level route. It's better to quickly hook up with big families in the city, such as creating a hot spot that can spread throughout the city in a short time, so you must have enough witnesses... Since the Ningtian Mansion Ferry is so lively every day, I'll go there to do something with half the effort.'
Zhou Jing felt it was feasible.
It directly created a sensational rumor in the city, allowing the upper-level figures to know about his "god man", so they took the initiative to visit and invite him to be a guest of honor... This is definitely better than being cheated by yourself.
This is marketing yourself!
However, at the beginning, you can take the initiative to hook up with a big player and ask the other party to help solve trivial problems such as your lack of identity certificate, which is convenient and easy to use.
After obtaining the information he wanted, Zhou Jing no longer delayed and immediately left the village and headed towards the Ximen Du of Ningtian Mansion.
After he left, many villagers were still immersed in the experiences of the gods today. They talked about it in the village and were given the title of "The Dragon Prince plays with water thieves".
Some people even set up a simple incense platform at home to worship this "Dragon Prince".
In addition, the village man did not delay, and several people escorted Kong Bao to the county town.
...
Three days passed by.
Zhou Jing kept rushing along the river.
Although I am penniless, I have the function of analyzing items and am not afraid of being hungry in the wild. I will pick some fruits to fill my stomach. I can also use the strong wind to sweep the birds and make teeth sacrifices.
He was not idle on the way, and when he encountered any plants, he would analyze and identify them, and be familiar with the plants and herbs in this world.
As we moved forward, the road became wider and there were more and more pedestrians, and boats began to appear frequently on the river.
Zhou Jing walked along the road and finally saw the outline of Ning Tianfu.
This is a city with dragons and tigers standing in a strong position, with a large river in front and a heavy ridge on the side. It is dangerous and has a strong situation.
On the river not far away, Ximen Du, which is like a large lake, with hundreds of ships of all sizes parked, large and small, merchant cargo ships as tall as buildings, and small fishermen's boats that can only be seated in three or four people.
From a distance, you can hear the noise and noise of the ferry terminal, a prosperous scene.
"It's true that it's prosperous, it's so lively than Anlin Mansion."
Zhou Jing was delighted.
He did not enter the city, avoided pedestrians, followed the wild forest slope next to the road, and walked all the way to the riverside bank, and looked at the ferry along the water surface that was parallel to the heights.
"Can you scare the entire Ningtian Mansion see this wave..."
Zhou Jing thought about it in his mind, and tidied up his appearance with the reflection of the water surface, and then he calmed down and started to act.
At the same time.
A merchant ship was sailing on the river, getting closer and closer to Ximen Du.
A middle-aged man with white hair and gorgeous clothes stood at the bow of the boat, looking at Ningtian Mansion from afar, with a worried look on his face.
Next to him was a young man with vaguely similar facial features, wearing a light blue scribe robe and spoke generously to comfort him:
"Dad, don't worry. We invited Dr. Zhang, and the old lady will definitely be cured by the disease."
The middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes sighed:
"I searched for famous doctors in Ningtian Mansion, but no one knew about the old lady's illness. If Zhang Jinduan, who has a great reputation in Xinglin, was worthy of his reputation and could cure the old lady's strange disease, it would be worth asking me personally... Otherwise, if the old lady fell, my Ye family would lose its pillars and would be in chaos. The other couples would have been coveting the position of the head of the family for a day or two."
The middle-aged man was named Ye Shunzhong, who was in charge of the main house of the Ye family in Ningtian. The young man next to him was named Ye Yingguang, who was the son of Ye Shunzhong.
The Ye family in Ningtian is a wealthy businessman in Jiangchun. His business is spread across several states and his family is rich. He is well-known throughout the south.
In this Ningtian Mansion, the Ye family is well-known. In the mouths of good people in the city, the Ye family has been competing with two other wealthy families in the city for the title of "Ningtian's No. 1 Richest Man".
But three months ago, the old lady who was in charge of the Ye family fell ill, and the Ye family hired a doctor to go to the clinic for treatment.
The wealth was touching. Almost all the doctors in the city temporarily left behind the common people who came to see the doctor and gathered in the Ye family for consultation, almost breaking the threshold of the Ye family. However, in the end, no one knew what disease was in Old Lady Ye.
This incident also spread throughout the city. The entire Ningtian Mansion knew that Old Lady Ye had a strange disease that no one knew, which became a topic of relish.
Ye Shunzhong is the head of the big house and was trained as a successor early on. After the old lady fell ill, she was getting worse day by day. He was anxiously looking for famous doctors.
Not long ago, he learned that Zhang Jinduan, one of the three famous doctors in Xinglin, was traveling to Jiangchun, so he hurried to invite him to Ningtian Mansion to treat Old Lady Ye. This was almost his last hope.
At this time, an old man in a green robe carrying a medicine box walked out of the cabin and saw the Ye family's father and son, so he walked over.
As soon as he saw this person, Ye Shunzhong immediately saluted and said:
"Doctor Zhang, Ning Tianfu is coming soon. If my grandfather can be cured, the Ye family will be grateful to Doctor Zhang for his kindness, so I will definitely thank you very much."
"Brother Ye doesn't have to do this. I will do my best."
The old man in green robe hurriedly bowed his hand back to his gift, and he was Zhang Jinduan, known as one of the three famous doctors in Xinglin.
The two of them spoke politely, and the Ye family merchant ship slowly moored into Ximen Duke.
At this moment, countless ships on the river suddenly heard a burst of uproar, resounding throughout the sky.
Ye Shunzhong looked at him and was slightly stunned.
I saw countless boatmen running around the hundreds of ships moored in front of the ferry, gathering on the side of the ship, pointing to the direction where their Ye family merchant ship was located and exclaiming.
The content of the shouting came with the wind of the river, intermittent and not clear enough, so I could only vaguely hear words such as "gods", "dragon king", and "river god".
"What happened?"
Ye Shunzhong couldn't figure it out, so he simply followed the direction pointed by countless sailors in front of him and looked back.
Seeing this, he felt like he was struck by lightning, his chin almost dislocated, and he was stunned.
Just on the river not far away, a man in black robe stepped on the water surface, rippling step by step, walking slowly like a leisurely stroll in the garden.
"This...is this a god?"
Ye Shunzhong and the other two were filled with their hearts and their eyes could not be removed.
Under the stunned gaze of countless people at the ferry, this figure came onto the river!
He behaves freely and leisurely, like an immortal walking along the river, step by step towards the ferry.
At this moment, it seemed as if all the ships on the river had disappeared, and only this person was left in the world, like a lonely geese.
Countless people at the ferry were shocked and stood there on the spot, staring at the man who stepped on the river.
At this moment, the figure happened to walk to the side of the Ye family merchant ship, which was quite close, and the person could be seen clearly on the boat.
Ye Shunzhong was shocked and came to his senses. Without saying a word, he bowed on the boat and said respectfully and excitedly:
"What a blessing to be able to see the fairy face! The fairy family is above, please accept my worship!"
When Zhou Jing heard someone talking, he turned his head and looked up at the boat next to him. He saw Ye Shunzhong, who was protruding his head on the side of the boat. He saw that he was a wealthy family.
His heart moved, and suddenly drove the strong wind and rose into the air.
Under the gaze of everyone, he flew to the Ye family merchant ship.
Ye Shunzhong and others were shocked and quickly bowed down, shouting words like those who had seen immortals.
"It's just some magical powers, so don't make a fuss. I'm not an immortal, so you don't need to give this great gift."
Zhou Jing took it calmly and spoke casually.
These people were dressed in gorgeous clothes, either rich or noble. This time, he was not as kind as he was facing a rural villager, but instead took on the posture and looked calm and composed like a master and hermit.
Hearing this, Ye Shunzhong and others dared to straighten their backs, and they also saw Zhou Jing's strange appearance. They were surprised, but they dared not express anything.
Zhou Jing was holding his hands on his back, looking at the leader Ye Shunzhong and asked:
"Who are you?"
Ye Shunzhong didn't know what Zhou Jing meant, so he didn't dare to neglect. He raised his courage and bowed his hands and said:
"When Ye Shunzhong saw the master's immortal method, he was moved and couldn't help but speak... I wonder if he could know the master's name?"
"Lower Lingfengzi."
Zhou Jing applied a pseudonym to the report, and then pretended to be unfathomable and said slowly:
"Since you have the courage to talk to me, I will give you a fate."
Ye Shunzhong was stunned and suddenly overjoyed.
This immortal-like character actually said he wanted to give him the fate method? Could it be that he had to give him the opportunity to meet a god as mentioned in folk monster novels?!
Before Ye Shunzhong could ask in detail, Zhou Jing pretended to be calm and said:
"I will stay in Ningtian Mansion for some time to find the secret of heaven. Since I am destined to be, I will stay in your house temporarily and let you handle all the trivial matters for me... Do you want this fate method or not?"
This is shameless, which is equivalent to catching a sucker. Not only does it require others to spend money to entertain themselves, but it also means that this opportunity is rewarded to the other party by themselves...
But Zhou Jing's face was not blushing, but his heart was not beating.
If an ordinary person said this, he might be beaten violently.
However, I just showed my magical methods and made a name for myself, and I have already suppressed the wealthy family in this ship. Now this pretentious manner makes people even more inaccurate about his background.
Moreover, he wasn't completely nonsense.
I deliberately staged a "coming on the river" at the bustling ferry. With so many witnesses, my reputation must have spread throughout Ningtian Prefecture in a very short time.
A mysterious man who is suspected to be a god and lives in this person's home, then under the cultural background of the Great Xia Dynasty, it can bring many intangible values such as reputation and influence to this person.
Zhou Jing specially got on the boat, intending to hook up with a wealthy family first, solve his identity problem, and use it as a springboard to get to know more dignitaries and gain a foothold in the city.
If it succeeds, this person can also benefit from countless benefits, and the "fate method" mentioned today will come true.
Ye Shunzhong really took this trick, and he hurriedly agreed:
"The master is willing to stay in my Ye family temporarily. This is the honor of my Ye family!"
He only felt that this person who called himself Ling Fengzi was extremely mysterious. Moreover, the so-called "search on the secrets of heaven" revealed by this person also made him extremely interested and itchy, but he did not dare to question the other party, so he could only keep it in his heart for a while of imagination.
Ye Shunzhong was not without suspicion, but when he thought of Zhou Jing walking on the river just now and the scene of the wind rising from the wind, he felt that he was not as good as Ning believed it.
After agreeing, he would spend some money at most. Even if this person is a liar, what if one person eats and drinks more than one person. Not to mention one person, even if a hundred people come to eat and drink for free, he would not blink his eyes.
There are not many other things in the Ye family, but they have a lot of money!
If this person is really from a very big background and has great luck, then you will definitely regret the practice of pushing out the opportunity now in the future.
Ye Shunzhong calculated clearly and naturally would not reject Zhou Jing's seemingly excessive request.
Seeing this, Zhou Jing raised a curve in the corner of his mouth, but then disappeared.
He deliberately did not respond to any thanks, but just said slowly:
Chapter completed!
