ps: Thanks to the book friend Yaoyuanren for the reward of 10,000 starting coins.
The land south of the Yangtze River and north of the Yangtze River is considered the center of Daqian. It is a land of plenty and plenty, and its environment is completely different from the war-torn and desolate Nanjiu County.
As Gu Cheng went south, he almost suspected that he had seen two big gangsters.
Even being a Xuanjia Guard in a place like this is very nourishing. Acquired ghosts are often born out of resentment. In such a rich and fertile land, people rely on the sky for food. As long as you are willing to dig for food in the ground, you will not die of hunger, so There are very few ghosts born, at best they are just some low-level ghosts.
Moreover, here in the south of the Yangtze River and in the north of the Yangtze River, there are not the hundreds of thousands of mountains of the Southern Barbarians or the endless mountains and old forests of Liaodong, so there are very few monsters, and there are only some insignificant little monsters in the sky.
Therefore, among the statistics of Jingyesi, the death rate of Xuanjiawei of Jingyesi in the south and north of the Yangtze River is the lowest.
Of course there are good and bad things about this.
The good thing is that it's relatively safe, and the safe one doesn't even look like Yasushi.
The bad thing is that Jingyesi Xuanjiawei, who grew up in such a place, lacks training and is not that strong in combat.
Jingyesi in the capital selects the elite Xuanjia Guards from various places, and most of them are selected from border areas. There are very few Xuanjia Guards who come from wealthy places like Jiangnan and Jiangbei.
The Heavenly Book Conference started in two months, and it took Gu Cheng a month to arrive in Jiangbei.
At this time, he was not wearing Jingyesi's mysterious armor, which was too eye-catching, and Fang Henshui also said that the Jingyesi's county government outside might not be reliable, so Gu Cheng had no idea of dealing with them. .
At the moment, Gu Cheng was only wearing a black tight-fitting warrior uniform with two swords hanging on his waist. He was lying on a rented fishing boat while fishing, while drifting down the Chuyuan River, a large river that ran through the Central Plains, on his way to the Heavenly Book Conference. Mojiang Prefecture where it is located.
When he was in the capital, Gu Cheng fought with the Gu family father and son, the third prince, and those evil cultivators.
Returning to the capital should be like going home to Gu Cheng, but as a result, Gu Cheng didn't have any free time, and he didn't even have time to practice in seclusion. His nerves were too tight.
For Gu Cheng, attending the Heavenly Book Conference this time can be said to be a trip at public expense. He also took advantage of this time to relax.
The owner of the fishing boat is a pretty boat girl in her early thirties, with a gentle and charming appearance. She is wearing a tight blue dress. She rolls up her sleeves and gently rocks the oar, revealing her wheat-colored skin and slender figure. She hums. Singing a ballad in a dialect that Gu Cheng didn't understand, she would steal glances at Gu Cheng from time to time, feeling like a mixture of Xiaojiabiyu and bold wildness unique to Jiangnan women.
This boat girl is a widow. She used to make a living by fishing with her husband. However, her husband, who was good at water skills, fell into the water and drowned a few years ago. She is not that strong as a woman, so she can't do fishing. The fishing boats can only be converted into passenger ships to carry guests across the river.
When Gu Cheng saw her for the first time, the boat girl was speaking in a dialect and scolding people fiercely. Gu Cheng was so impressed by her that he rented her boat.
Of course, Gu Cheng would not admit that he chose the pretty widow largely because of her beauty.
Little did he know that in the eyes of the boat girl, Gu Cheng was also very attractive.
Compared with those Jianghu people with hairy beards, eyes like bells, and ferocious faces who don't look like good people, Gu Cheng is young, handsome, generous, and even whiter than her. He definitely fits the description of the young people the storyteller talks about. The appearance of a knight.
What girl is not pregnant? When she was young, she had thought about wandering around the world with a young knight riding a white horse, but in the end she married a fisherman who punted a boat and was a short-lived ghost.
So when facing Gu Cheng, she would peek at him from time to time. Even her fierce personality in the past had changed, becoming soft-spoken and like Xiaojiabiyu.
"Young Master went to Mojiang Mansion to watch the Heavenly Book Conference?"
Gu Cheng was surprised and said: "You also know about the Heavenly Book Conference?"
The boat girl smiled sweetly and said, "Of course I know. Many people from the world will come to Mojiang Mansion at this time. It is also the time when our business is at its best, but there are only a few guests as generous as the young master."
Just now, Gu Cheng directly threw ten taels of silver to the boat girl. This was not because he was generous, but because Gu Cheng had a very deep pocket now and would not go on the road with scraps of silver. A ten-tael banknote was already the smallest amount.
denomination.
At this time, the fishing rod in Gu Cheng's hand suddenly moved, and a big silver fish was lifted up.
The boat girl was surprised and said: "It's a silver shad. Good luck, sir. This kind of silver shad is very rare in the Chuyuan River, and it tastes very delicious."
Sir, do you need to cook the fish now? The silver shad will die as soon as it leaves the water, and what you eat is nothing but fresh food."
"Oh? You can also cook fish here?"
The boat girl took the silver shad, raised her head with some pride and said: "When I was unmarried, my cooking skills were outstanding in every country in the country. If the restaurant didn't want women, I would be no worse than those master chefs."
As she said that, the boat girl quickly removed the internal organs from the silver anchovy, put on the seasonings and steamed it on the fire, and at the same time warmed a small pot of rice wine for Gu Cheng.
A quarter of an hour later, the fish was steamed. There seemed to be no condiments, but after one bite, the rich sweetness exploded in your mouth. Take another sip of the rice wine, and the mellow feeling combined with the deliciousness of the fish is a perfect match.
Gu Cheng shook his head gently. He suddenly thought of a person, Zhou Jianxing from the Zhou family in Donglin County.
As a child of a wealthy family, his hobby is eating, and he has studied this appetite clearly.
But let’s not talk about it, this kind of leisurely feeling is really good.
Of course, all this is based on the premise that Gu Cheng has status and strength.
If he was just a low-level Xuanjia guard, how could he have time to enjoy such leisurely time? He might have been dealing with monsters and ghosts all day long, and he would not even be able to control his own life or death.
The difference between Gu Cheng and many people is that after enjoying various desires, most people will indulge in these desires and not think about making progress.
But Gu Cheng is not like that. He clearly knows what he got in exchange for what he enjoys now, so he will pursue power even more desperately in the future to prevent himself from losing it all.
Just when Gu Cheng was feeding himself chicken soup, waves of strong energy waves suddenly came from the river.
Several practitioners in white clothes were chasing a young man with a cold face and black robes who was galloping on the river.
Those white-clothed practitioners chased each other while shouting fiercely: "Ren Qingshan! You killed my Tianlan White Jade Palace disciple, and now we have finally caught you. Let me see where you can escape!"
The young man in black robe who was being chased said coldly: "I have told you before, that idiot fell into the ghost realm and was killed by evil spirits when he was fighting for the treasure in Nanman Shiwan Mountain. He has something to do with me.
What's the relationship?
The people I let Qingshan kill will not deny it, and the people I didn’t kill, no one can frame me!
You have been chasing me for one day, that should be enough, right?
The Heavenly Book Conference is coming soon, and this is the first time that I, the Heavenly Demon Sect, will participate in it. Master asked me not to kill people and stain the blood, so as not to affect the reputation of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
But don’t go too far. If you don’t kill people, it’s okay to abolish martial arts!”
Several practitioners who were chasing Ren Qingshan sneered: "Arrogant!"
This Qingshan's strength is at the sixth level, and they are all at the sixth level, but you are here alone and arrogantly saying that you want to destroy several of them. Isn't this arrogance?
The route these people were chasing was the direction of Gu Cheng's fishing boat. Ren Qingshan frowned and stepped on the water. It seemed that not much power was emitted, but he turned in another direction.
However, several cultivators from Tianlan White Jade Palace had no intention of giving way. The powerful Gang Qi set off waves, which were nothing to the cultivators, but to the small boat Gu Cheng was on, it was like a big wave.
.
The pretty widow boat girl's face turned pale. All her wealth was on this boat. If the boat capsized, she would lose everything.
There was a cold look in Gu Cheng's eyes. He was finally enjoying his leisure time. Why did someone always come to disturb him?
Standing up, Gu Cheng fiercely pressed the Seal Technique with his hands. Buddha's light shone all over his body, and the Sumeru Big Hand Seal was directly blasted out. The powerful waves of Gang Qi were like an invisible wall, blocking out all the water waves of Gang Qi.
This seal also interfered with the practitioners of Tianlan White Jade Palace, but they did not expect that such a master would be found on the boat just by searching.
One of them said coldly: "Boy, get out of the way and don't block the road!"
Tianlan White Jade Palace is a major sect at the junction of Jiangnan and Jiangbei. It is one of the thirty-two sects in the world and is quite powerful here.
Although Gu Cheng showed his level 6 cultivation, he was really not afraid of Tianlan White Jade Palace.
Gu Cheng sneered and said: "Am I blocking the road? It's obviously you who ran rampant on the river and overturned the fishing boat. At least it destroyed the family's source of income, and at worst it hurt people's lives. As a practitioner of the great sect, your teacher
Didn’t the elders teach you these rules and taboos?”
Practitioners in the world of martial arts actually have many default unspoken rules.
For example, you must be cautious when dealing with ordinary people. The price of killing innocent people will not only be that Yasushi wants to drink tea with you, but also the reputation of his sect.
Of course, cults like the Maitreya Sect and some low-level heretical cults would naturally not care about this, but some well-known and decent sects are very concerned about this kind of thing.
The practitioners from the Tianlan White Jade Palace seemed to be angered by what Gu Cheng said. One of them pointed at Gu Cheng's nose and said coldly: "Boy, do you know who the other person is?
That was a disciple of the Zhongtian Demon Sect among the five evil religions.
At this time, you are stopping us from chasing down the evil scum of the Demon Sect. Could it be that you are his accomplice?
If you collude with the Demon Sect, you will be punished! Don’t cause trouble for yourself!"
Upon hearing this, a cold smile appeared on Gu Cheng's lips.
He has always been the one who puts the blame on others. When did it become someone else’s turn to put the blame on him?
