Chapter four hundred and sixty-eight now that all things are known
Xu Zhiqiong floated on the river for a whole month, and finally arrived at Yunzhou, the junction of Daxuan and Yu Xianguo.
Daxuan and Yuxian are at the junction of three states. Juanzhou and Tingzhou to the west are both under the control of the Gu clan. Only Yunzhou is still under the control of Emperor Yu Xian.
Mo Chi suggested to stop the ship: "Marquis Yun, your fiefdom has arrived, at least go and have a look."
When Marquis Yun arrived in Yunzhou, he really should go and have a look, or at least take a walk around his fief.
But Xu Zhiqiong's situation is somewhat special.
He stood on the deck, looking at the rolling mountains on the shore and the city looming under the mountains. He really had the urge to dock immediately.
Suddenly a gust of river wind came, and Xu Zhiqiong staggered and almost fell.
This is the first time that he has risen from the bottom to the middle without the help of others.
This is also the first time that he understands what it means to be promoted to middle school and half-life.
In fact, it was more than half a life. If You Shanyan hadn't used the art of regenerating all things to extend Xu Zhiqiong's life, one life might have been lost.
His promotion speed was so fast that he exceeded his physical limit.
Shan Yan and Tao Huayuan are both Taoist wizards, but for people like Xu Zhiqiong to be promoted to the fifth rank in less than two years, this is something they would never dare to imagine.
The weak Xu Zhiqiong returned to the cabin, took out six copper coins, and made a divination.
Yang is good and yin is bad. As long as the good is greater than the bad, Xu Zhiqiong decides to get off the boat and go to the land for a walk.
A scattered copper coin represents one yang and five yin.
This is not good.
Tao Huayuan shook her head and said: "Your prediction is too hasty, so let me do it for you."
"This can't be done. Since my heart is sincere and my hexagram is spiritual, I can't get off the boat."
Xu Zhiqiong thought about it carefully and found that it was indeed not suitable to disembark.
His current physical condition was so weak that the officials and people in the fiefdom saw it and thought that Marquis Yun was about to die soon.
He did not disembark, and Mo Chi did not force him, but ordered the fleet to continue downstream and entered the territory of Yu Xianguo.
The scenery of Yu Xianguo is very different from that of Daxuan, and there seems to be a natural boundary between the two countries.
Yunzhou is mountainous and the forests are very lush.
However, the lushness of Yunzhou was within the scope of Xu Zhiqiong's understanding, while the vegetation of Yuxianguo was completely beyond Xu Zhiqiong's understanding.
On both sides of the river bank, trees cover the sky and the sun is blocked, and vines are intertwined, like layers of barriers. Even with Xu Zhiqiong's good eyesight, he can't see clearly the scenery in the jungle.
Holding on to the railing, Xu Zhiqiong stood on the deck, his nerves constantly tense. The darkness and deep forest gave him a considerable sense of oppression.
The branches and leaves in front of him trembled, and Xu Zhiqiong felt a powerful energy.
"There are cultivators!"
"Indeed, there is." Mo Chi looked indifferent.
"Who is he?" Xu Zhiqiong was very nervous. The other person's cultivation seemed to be quite high.
"Maybe it's a human," Mo Chi smiled, "Maybe it's a wild beast in the mountains."
"How can a wild beast have such a high level of cultivation?" Xu Zhiqiong was very surprised.
Mo Chi nodded and said, "It all depends on the true God's care."
As he spoke, a black shadow jumped out of the river.
Xu Zhiqiong immediately pulled out the Biao Chi Blade.
But when I saw the black shadow clearly, it turned out to be a big spotted fish.
From the fish's mouth to its tail, it is nine feet long. The tail fin swings, causing a gust of cold wind, mixed with water droplets, to hit Xu Zhiqiong's face, causing Xu Zhiqiong to stagger.
Tao Huayuan supported Xu Zhiqiong from behind, fearing that Xu Zhiqiong would be embarrassed, and pretended to hug Xu Zhiqiong from behind, as if she only had affection and no support.
Xu Zhiqiong also felt embarrassed, but he was too weak.
Mo Chi didn't laugh at him. The moment he saw the big fish, Mo Chi, who had always been calm, suddenly couldn't contain his excitement and shouted in Yu Xianyu.
"Bring me a net, bring me a net, I haven't eaten spotted crucian carp in a long time!"
Several boatmen fetched a fishing net more than twenty feet long and handed it to Mo Chi.
Mo Chi held the fishing net in his hand and stood at the bow of the boat, staring at the river and waiting for a moment. Another big spotted fish jumped out of the river.
This fish was slightly smaller, about seven feet long. Mo Chi spread out the fishing net and covered the fish head-on. The big fish swung its head and tail and plunged into the river. The warship shuddered and Xu Zhiqiong
Almost fell again.
Mo Chi's eyes shone brightly, and he led the boatman to drag and drag it. After a whole meal, the big fish still refused to yield.
Mo Chi was annoyed, took a deep breath, and let out a hoarse whisper from his nose.
This voice was so strange, it sounded so harsh, but Xu Zhiqiong felt calmer and calmer in his heart. After the calm, he became ethereal. In the ethereal world, he was so tired that he almost fell asleep on the spot.
Tao Huayuan set up a magic circle to isolate the sound, and then Xu Zhiqiong came to his senses.
"Suzaku is born with the eighth-level skill, Qingluan Tianyin. When you hear this sound, no matter insects, snakes, birds or beasts, even flowers, plants and trees will fall into a deep sleep."
In fact, Xu Zhiqiong had heard this voice before. He suffered a lot of pain during his promotion process. Shan Yan once used Qingluan Tianyin to put Xu Zhiqiong into deep sleep to relieve the pain.
The boatmen's expressions were calm and not tired. They all had the cultivation of life and were immune to Tianyin.
The boat stopped rocking, and under the influence of Tianyin, the big fish fell into a deep sleep.
Everyone worked hard to close the net, picked up the big fish, and threw it on the deck.
The boatmen cheered and Mo Chi laughed loudly.
Since they met, Xu Zhiqiong saw Mo Chi's true nature for the first time.
As soon as he smiled, the sound of heaven disappeared, and the big fish immediately woke up after leaving the water and jumped vigorously on the deck.
Shan Yan was beside him, spitting out a mouthful of flame.
Suzaku's fourth-level skill of generating Taoism—Golden Crow Fire.
This is the most powerful flame in the world, but Shan Yan controls the heat very well, grilling the fish until it is cooked through, without even a hint of charring.
The aroma hit him, and even the weak Xu Zhiqiong had a long-lost appetite.
I tore off a piece of fish meat and tasted it. It was refreshing, crispy and sweet, but it was even more delicious than the fine stone head that Xu Zhiqiong had eaten in the capital.
After Mo Chi took a few bites, he always felt that the taste was missing: "This spotted crucian carp shouldn't be cooked. It's most delicious when sliced into pieces."
Yubi is sashimi.
Mo Chi insisted on eating sashimi, opened the fishing net, and continued fishing.
Shan Yan said: "Your Highness, please don't delay your trip."
"So what if I'm delayed? So what if I come back two days late? I have to eat to my heart's content this time!"
Not long after, another spotted crucian carp entered the net. This fish was huge, over one foot long.
The cook came from the back kitchen, and with her knife flying, she cut out slices of fish meat as thin as cicada wings, made them into various shapes of flowers, birds, fish and insects, and put them on the dinner plate.
Mo Chi ate fifteen plates in a row and felt very happy.
The boatmen and sergeants had a feast that day, and at dawn the next day, Mo Chi caught more than a dozen fresh shrimps that were more than three feet long.
"At this time of year, the shrimps are a little smaller, so you can make do with it." Mo Chi held the raw shrimps and munched on them.
Shan Yan said from the side: "Marquis Yun, you are weak and cannot eat raw food."
A sergeant brought a crab the size of a pot lid from the deck: "Uncle Da Zong, I just caught it!"
Mo Chi said with excitement on his face: "Add the ingredients and marinate it for me!"
No wonder Yu Xianguo never worries about food.
What a country where all things live!
The fleet walked on the river for more than ten days and finally docked.
When they reached the shore, Xu Zhiqiong was still a little dizzy as he stepped on solid land.
Going into the dense forest, I thought the road would be difficult, but Xu Zhiqiong was wrong.
Yu Xianguo is not a primitive country.
In the jungle, roads paved with wooden planks extend in all directions.
Xu Zhiqiong was worried that the wooden path was not strong enough, so he took every step carefully.
Mo Chi smiled and said: "Don't worry, Marquis Yun. This wooden board has my special construction method of Dayu, which can guarantee it will not rot for a hundred years!"
Not long after everyone left, two groups of beautiful women came forward, wearing long gowns and garlands, holding two large wooden beds, singing songs that Xu Zhiqiong could not understand, and walked over.
Mo Chi said to Xu Zhiqiong: "According to my Da Yu practice, no men are needed to welcome guests. Marquis Yun must not mind."
Xu Zhiqiong asked in surprise: "Why do you mind?"
Mo Chi looked at "Senior Brother Tao" and felt that such a man was really hard to find.
He turned around and shouted twice at the women in Yu Xianyu.
The women put down the wooden bed, and Mo Chi sat on the bed, stretched out his hand and said to Shan Yan: "Come up!"
Shan Yan shook her head repeatedly and said: "How can this be done? This is against the rules!"
"No matter what the rules are, you can do whatever you want!"
"Your Highness, don't mess around. I'll just walk back."
Mo Chi lowered his face and said, "Are you looking down on me?"
Mo Chi changed his face, so Shan Yan couldn't disobey him, so she slowly climbed onto the wooden bed and sat huddled in a corner.
Mo Chi smiled with satisfaction, pointed to another wooden bed and said: "Marquis Yun, please!"
Xu Zhiqiong was not polite, staggered onto the wooden bed, stretched out a hand, and said to Senior Brother Tao: "Come up!"
Tao Huayuan got on the wooden bed and looked at Xu Zhiqiong with a sullen face.
The women lifted up their wooden beds and walked deep into the jungle, singing songs.
Tao Huayuan looked at such a woman, her face became more and more gloomy.
"What's wrong? What's wrong with you?" Xu Zhiqiong asked.
Tao Huayuan said with an angry look on her face: "You are here among the pink flowers in the forest every day. How can I rest assured? I'm afraid that a group of little lanterns will be born next year!"
Xu Zhiqiong smiled and said: "You just need to be more careful. Besides, my body is useless now. You have tried it too."
"You thief! Who has tried it?" Tao Huayuan kicked Xu Zhiqiong and lowered her voice, "If I'm not by your side, how can I see you?"
Xu Zhiqiong asked in surprise: "Where are you going?"
Tao Huayuan lowered her head and said, "I'll talk to you later when I find a quiet place."
