In the southern part of the Yan Kingdom, the 800-mile Yunmeng Mountain is an inaccessible primitive mountain range. There are many strange peaks in this mountain range, and it is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round. It seems that there is a layer of gauze covering the mountains, so it is named Yunmeng.
Yunmeng Mountain is majestic and steep. In addition to the primitive old forests that can be seen everywhere, the scenery in some places is also good, with springs and waterfalls dotted there, and the quiet valleys are full of flowers and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant.
It is said that there are many people in the mountains who have cultivated and understood Taoism, but people outside the mountains have never seen such extraordinary masters coming out of the mountains.
When it comes to traveling across the 800-mile Yunmeng Mountains, the most convenient and time-saving way is to take a boat and take the waterway.
A large river called Yanjiang runs from north to south, passing through the lofty and cold mountains of Yunmeng Mountain, connecting the north and the south. It is the only way to go to the southern wilderness county of Yan State.
Whether they are merchants selling goods between the north and south, or people visiting relatives and friends, they will take a boat along the river. This is many times more comfortable than traveling overland and traveling over mountains and ridges.
There are many passenger ships plying the Yanjiang River, which is thousands of miles away, and there are even more merchant ships buying precious medicinal materials or the furs of various beasts from the southern wilderness.
Ordinary passenger ships are just that, but the merchant ships loaded with goods purchased from the Southern Wilderness contain a large amount of wealth. Naturally, there are those desperadoes who are willing to take the risk of killing their heads and destroying their families to attack the merchant ships.
idea.
Therefore, on some merchant ships, there are many people who are proficient in martial arts to protect the ships. Of course, these warriors only know some boxing and kicking skills, but the true secrets of martial arts have long been lost in the secular world.
Some large caravans or business groups do not need to hire bodyguards or warriors to protect their goods, because they have their own escorts.
At noon that day, three large ships sailed down the river, wearing banners and flying flags. From time to time, groups of guards wearing light armor and holding swords patrolled the decks of the ships, and they were heavily guarded.
On the bows of the three large ships was a large flag fluttering in the wind. The flagpole was several feet high, with yellow characters on a blue background and the two characters "Haotian" written on the flag.
On the deck of a large ship sailing in the front, there were three figures leaning on the railing, pointing and looking at the scenery on both sides of the river.
"There are endless cries of apes on both sides of the strait. The boat has passed the Ten Thousand Mountains. The scenery on both sides of the Yunmeng Mountain is really good. It is rare to see it in other places!" On the deck, a man with white teeth and red lips, extremely handsome, dressed in a noble family.
The well-dressed young man sighed softly.
This young man's voice was clear and sweet. If he wasn't dressed like a man from a noble family, he would have thought it was a woman speaking.
"Young Master!" A cute and cute maid in an emerald green dress called out, then she suddenly covered her mouth with a smile, and then said: "It's windy outside, Master, why don't you go inside!"
"Haha! Xiaocui, my cultivation, this young master, is one of the best among the disciples of the aristocratic families in Yanjing. I am not a weakling. Don't worry." The handsome young master held a folding fan on the maid's head.
He knocked lightly and smiled.
It turns out that this young man who looks like a young man from an aristocratic family comes from Yanjing, the capital of the Yan Kingdom.
"Hey! Miss, ah! No, young master, look, what is that!" Suddenly, another maid wearing a light yellow dress next to the young man pointed at the river in front of him and said in surprise.
"Xiaoyue, how many times have I told you that you should call me young master outside and don't call me miss. Do you understand?" The young man said to the maid named Xiaoyue somewhat unhappy.
"Yes, yes, young... Master, there seems to be a person on the river in front of you!" The maid named Xiaoyue pointed to the river in front of her in a panic and said.
It turns out that this handsome young man is actually a tomboy, a girl disguised as a boy.
At this time, the big ship was approaching, and on the river ten feet ahead, there seemed to be a white figure floating in the water.
"That's..." The young lady disguised as a man and the maid Xiao Cui also saw the white shadow on the river in front of them, and they were all extremely surprised.
"Uncle Zhong!" The young lady dressed as a woman suddenly called into the cabin, and a breeze suddenly appeared on the deck. As the breeze passed by, a figure suddenly appeared on the deck.
Coming and going like the wind, this person who suddenly appeared is definitely a master, at least a rare master in the secular world.
This person who suddenly appeared like a ghost is an old servant, wearing a green coat, with a stooped body and gray hair. Judging from his appearance, he is really an ordinary, ordinary old man. However, ordinaryness only belongs to this old servant.
Appearance.
"Uncle Zhong, look!" The lady disguised as a man pointed towards the river and said to the old man. Her words were very respectful, and she did not treat the old man as a subordinate, but as an elder.
"Huh?" The old servant named Uncle Zhong looked in the direction pointed by the young lady's finger, and couldn't help but frown, and a gleam flashed through his cloudy eyes.
I saw the loyal uncle wave his right hand, and a ray of silver light immediately came out from his sleeve. It was a silver whip. The silver whip flashed like a snake in the old man's hand, and it suddenly scurried out.
He walked out dozens of feet, caught the man in the water, and then raised his right hand suddenly, "Wow!" With a sound, the man floating in the water was pulled out of the water and flew towards the boat.
Uncle Zhong took two steps back, then stretched out his hand to catch the person who was caught in the silver whip and flew towards the deck, and put the person on the deck.
I saw that the rescued man's clothes were in tatters, his eyes were closed, and he was in a coma.
"There is still one breath left, it seems there is still hope!" Uncle Zhong quickly checked the man's physical condition and found that not only was this man not dead, but there was also a vague force surging in his body.
"So what if this person is saved? It has nothing to do with us." As he said that, Uncle Zhong actually put away the silver whip, then picked up the person with one hand and was about to throw it into the river.
This loyal uncle didn't seem to want to cause any trouble. He was seriously injured, and the bones of both arms seemed to be broken. Who knows who beat him like this?
This man floating on the river looked a bit weird. After all, Uncle Zhong had been traveling around the world for a long time, so he was much more wary of these weird things than the average person.
"Uncle Zhong, wait a minute! Since this man is not dead, let's rescue him first." When the lady disguised as a man saw that Uncle Zhong was about to throw the man into the river again, she couldn't help but hurriedly stopped him.
"Since this man survived the disaster in the river, he still met us. It is a kind of fate. And there are many empty rooms on the ship. We just need to make arrangements. Are there so many of us that we are afraid of him, a dying man?"
