After hearing what Cao Su said, Meng Yao no longer forced him to stay.
Meng Yao whispered: "Be careful on the road."
Cao Su nodded.
Before leaving, he warned again: "The world is dangerous, don't trust others casually."
"Practice well and live well!"
After saying that, he jumped into the air and left the yard.
Meng Yao looked at Cao Su's retreating figure and felt that the courtyard surrounded by greenery suddenly became empty and lonely.
She sighed, she would have to get used to such a life in the world from now on.
.......
Cao Su was at the ferry in Linjiang City, preparing to spend money to ferry him.
Cross the Huanjiang River by ferry and travel from the Jiangxi side.
According to his calculations, he had to go back a little way before he could meet the slowly marching rebel army.
As soon as I arrived at the ferry, I heard several boatmen talking there.
"Have you heard? Last night, a family was fishing in the Baicao Ocean. They were caught by water ghosts and drowned. The whole family died. Today, the bodies that had been soaked all night were found on the shore.
Found."
"How come I haven't heard of it? It is said that this family's kung fu is very good, and the head of the family is also a master of the force realm. They all died at the hands of the water ghost. It shows that there are a lot of unclean things in the water."
"Fortunately, our Huanjiang River has always been peaceful. During the water festival last year, we also gave a lot of tributes."
"Having said that, due to the impact of last night's events, there are quite a few boats on the ferry today."
"I asked why Lao Wang and Lao Li didn't come. It turns out that they are too timid. How can they do a water transport business?"
"Yeah, in today's world, it's hard to make money, and the price of food and meat is much higher than before. If we don't work harder, the family will almost be out of trouble."
Cao Su suddenly understood and said that there were a few boats at the ferry today. It turned out to be this reason.
He opened his mouth and said to one of the boatmen: "Old boatman, would you like to sail your boat and ferry me across the river?"
The boatmen were indeed quite young. When they heard this, they turned their heads and saw Cao Su, as majestic as a mountain, standing at the ferry, blocking out the sky and the sun.
They have seen many warriors traveling from north to south.
It is not uncommon to see someone as tall and powerful as Cao Su.
An old boatman laughed and said: "A hero wants to cross the river, so he can do it naturally. However, business is bleak today and there are few passengers crossing the river. You are the first customer and you have to wait for everyone to get there before we can sail together."
Crossing the river was all a one-way trip. Cao Su's time was precious and he didn't want to waste it at all, so he said directly and boldly: "I paid the fares for the other passengers. I can charter this boat. Will the old boatman be willing to sail immediately?"
“Of course you can charter a boat!”
This hero is very impatient.
A few people looked at each other, and then the other boatmen clasped their fists and said goodbye.
The old boatman was left behind to entertain Cao Su.
After agreeing on the price, Cao Su got on the boat and sat down. The old boatman untied the rope, picked up the long bamboo pole, and prepared to sail.
Although the Huanjiang River is called a river, its surface has always been smooth and not wide in the east-west direction. The distance is only a few hundred meters at most.
The old boatman was about to push the boat away from the shore.
Exclamations came from the distance.
Several warriors crossed dozens of steps and rushed over.
"Old boatman, wait a minute!"
The old boatman paused and saw two male and two female warriors. They were all wearing robes of the same color and style, obviously from the same sect.
The two male warriors have stronger explosive power and better body skills.
Arriving at the ferry first, the young man among them hurriedly said: "Old boatman, wait until the boat sails and take us to the opposite river bank!"
The old boatman immediately looked embarrassed.
If this group of people had not come earlier, he would have been able to collect the river crossing fee normally, but now, the boat has been chartered by that big guy.
He said truthfully: "Everyone, you are late, the old man's boat has been chartered!"
As soon as these words came out, several warriors looked anxious. They followed the boatman's eyes and looked at the ship, and saw Cao Su sitting in the cabin, resting with his eyes closed.
He looked like he didn't know what was going on outside the ship.
Then two female warriors also rushed over. When they heard that the boat had been chartered, they immediately became very angry.
It's not that I'm angry at the rich people, but I'm rushing here in such a hurry. If I don't get a boat, it will be in vain.
"Don't cause trouble, I'll do it."
The older warrior stopped the anxious junior brothers and sisters and boarded the boat to greet Cao Su.
"Brother, we are disciples of the Floating Shadow Sword Sect. There are few boats at the ferry today. I and a few others are anxious to cross the river for business. Can it be convenient for me to get on the boat together?"
When warriors come up to show their true identity, the Floating Shadow Sword Sect is a good sign.
In Lingzhou, although the Fuying Sword Sect is not a large sect, it has always been honest, diligent, actively involved in the management of Jianghu affairs, and has an excellent reputation.
Sure enough, the warrior who heard the identity of "Floating Shadow Sword Sect" opened his eyes.
And showed a hint of "surprise".
Cao Su tried his best to control the evil spirit on his body, smiled and nodded: "Since we are master disciples of the Floating Shadow Sword Sect, let's get on the boat together, but we will have to trouble the boatman to expend more energy."
"I'm not in the way, I'm not in the way, just be nice."
When the old boatman heard what Cao Su said, he felt that Cao Su was really a good and sensible man, and a rich man could also be reasonable.
The four warriors looked happy, then boarded the boat together and sat in the cabin.
The entire cabin was obviously crowded, especially since Cao Su was so majestic that he took up a lot of space alone.
No wonder you want to charter a boat, this body type really needs a bit more room.
Several people were a little embarrassed, but the older warrior was good at talking and took the initiative to thank him: "Thank you very much, brother."
Cao Su smiled and said: "I don't care, but I am a boatman. Originally, it was enough to drag me across the river alone. Now there are several more people, which costs a lot of effort. It is reasonable for you to give him some subsidies."
When the old boatman heard that Cao Su asked for money for him, he felt happy, but he smiled and said: "They are all high disciples of the Floating Shadow Sword Sect. Talking about money hurts feelings, not to mention that the hero has already paid for the chartered ship."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! I only promised to let them board the boat, not to treat them to cross the river...
Cao Su stared at the older warrior with a smile. The older warrior smiled and nodded: "Brother, what you said makes sense. We were too anxious and neglected it for a while."
"Junior sister Lin, please pay the boat fare to the boatman quickly. Give more. The boatman has worked hard."
The older warrior opened his mouth to give instructions, and one of the female warriors stood up and paid the old boatman the money.
The old boatman smiled from ear to ear. He made more money by pulling the boat once than he did twice. This business was a good deal.
He couldn't help but sing loudly.
The high-pitched boatmen's chants spread on the river.
In the cabin, Cao Su closed his eyes and took a rest.
Floating Shadow Sword Sect......
He didn't expect to meet an old acquaintance from the sect here. Previously in Pingcheng, Wu Shengping, the head of the Floating Shadow Sword Sect, had been following him around. From Wu Shengping, he got a lot of rumors from the world, including the Lingzhou Wulin.
Things big and small.
After seeing Cao Su resting with his eyes closed, the four disciples of the Floating Shadow Sword Sect looked at each other. They felt that Cao Su's blood was quite strong, but it seemed that he had not yet broken through to the realm of strength, so there should be some pressure on them.
force.
A few people lowered their guard a little.
Another female warrior couldn't help complaining: "Senior Brother Lei, why is Master so anxious to call us over? This is too urgent..."
"Shh~"
The older warrior made a silence gesture to signal her not to speak randomly.
She curled her lips indifferently.
Another young male warrior started to change the topic: "Brother Lei, have you heard that the three major sects in Lingzhou gathered in the Dongling Mountains last night?"
The three major sects in Lingzhou gathered together?
The two female warriors were indeed attracted and began to shift their attention away from the sect's mission.
Senior Brother Lei obviously had his own unique information channel. He said solemnly: "There were hundreds of people from the three major sects. The movement didn't disappear until dawn. Everyone within a hundred miles radius knew it clearly."
So exaggerated?
The two female warriors, who heard the news for the first time, instantly opened their mouths and looked surprised.
The young warrior originally wanted to show off, but he didn't expect Senior Brother Lei to already know about it, so he hurriedly said: "I heard that the demon Buddha came to the world and the center of the earth was turbulent, so it attracted the attention of many sects."
"The matter of the Demon Buddha affects thousands of living beings in Lingzhou, and no one dares to be careless."
"Several major sects dispatched experts at the same time to jointly suppress the demon Buddha."
Magic Buddha!
The two female warriors were so startled that their hearts beat slowly, and their minds subconsciously imagined the scene of suppressing the demon Buddha that appeared in the Dongling Mountains last night.
Junior Sister Lin, who was paying the boat fare, asked: "Brother Xi, what does the Demon Buddha look like?"
The young warrior was stunned. He had only heard the news. Where had he seen the true form of the Demon Buddha?
He scratched his head and said: "I have never seen it before, but I heard that monsters like this are said to be ten feet tall, extremely powerful, and extremely destructive. If a warrior in the ordinary strength realm encounters them, they will die a hundred times."
Brother Lei shook his head and said: "I heard that these demon Buddhas were exterminated three hundred years ago. For some reason, the demon Buddhas have reappeared now."
"Maybe it's because the world is in chaos and the world is too turbulent."
Young Senior Brother Xi sighed. He heard that many warriors and ascetics died yesterday in order to suppress the demons and Buddhas.
In the end, it was the powerful action of Lingzhou Faguang Temple that suppressed the demon Buddha.
When I think about how many people died overnight.
He didn't have much intention to show off anymore, and for a moment his interest was waning.
Several people were diluted by the phrase "the world is in turmoil" and were less interested in continuing the conversation.
The cabin fell into silence, and the sound of conversation suddenly disappeared.
