Chapter 34: The Boat
At this moment, Ye Ning raised his glass and smiled at the left back of Song Shidao. Naturally, when Song Shidao looked back, he drank the clear water in the cup in one go.
Song Shidao looked shocked, but his hands and feet were not slow, so he immediately gave a cup of greeting.
For example, people with status and status like Ye Ning had seen their pictures before leaving the mountain city. Of course, they were familiar with them, but they never thought that...
This Taoist young master who was famous all over the world was actually behind him by such a coincidence. Not only did he not discover it, but he also commented on the other party's words, and was heard by the other party's ears without saying a word!
At this moment, Song Shidao's face turned red with embarrassment. When he arrived at the second floor, he glanced at everyone casually, but why didn't he recognize this person who seemed to stand out from the crowd?
Fortunately, Song Shidao is also a person with wide knowledge and open mind. After a look of embarrassment flashed, he stood up calmly, bowed afar, and apologized.
"Brother Qingxuan! I didn't expect to see the immortal traces of Brother Tao here. Song is really ashamed. I would like to ask Brother Tao to forgive Song for his unintentional mistake."
As soon as this statement came out, the Songzhu Building, which was just noisy, suddenly became quiet. Recently, the word "Qingxuan" has resounded throughout the Central Plains. Although I dare not say that it is well-known to everyone, it is also known to everyone in the world.
"What, was he talking about - Master Dao, Qingxuan?"
"Really? Master Dao also came to this Songzhu Building?"
"You'll know if you look..."
...
The second floor of Songzhu Building is different from the first floor. The first floor welcomes guests from all over the world, but this second floor requires some identity to go up. As for the third floor, it is a separate private room.
Therefore, the many diners who could sit on the second floor were by no means ignorant people. After a moment of talking, they first looked at Master Song.
After seeing this person having a status and an extraordinary identity, he was not like a nonsense person, he looked at Ye Ning's table along his gaze.
"Seven-star crown, Hunyuan scarf, Yin-Yang Bagua, Qiankun Bright Picture, Purple Taoist Robe..."
"This, this, is this true, it's really..."
"True Qingxuan, come to Songzhu Building?"
…………
"It's okay."
Looking at the figures around him who looked at his frenzy and looked at his own figure, Ye Ning frowned slightly. He first stood up and signaled to Song Shidao slightly, saying that he didn't care.
Then he picked up the clear water on the table, used water as wine, and ate it all at a distance to everyone present.
"Lou Guan Qingxuan has seen you all. Qingxuan is just a small path in a mountain. His virtue is small and powerful. If you are interested, you can just call the Taoist Qingxuan or the Taoist Qingxuan. It really cannot be called the name of a real person."
Although this Songzhu Building can be regarded as a master in Kangmao County, what is it worthwhile to put it in the world?
Although everyone on the second floor has a little status, how could they bear the ceremony of the next Taoist lord of Lou Guan Dao?
At that moment, everyone on the second floor didn't care about continuing to eat and drink, and rushed to return the gifts one by one, and then scrambled to speak in the hope of gaining the favor of this famous Taoist young master.
"Liu Fuwei has met Taoist Master Qingxuan, who is well-versed in Taoism, has excellent martial arts skills, and is the name of a real person. He deserves his name!"
"The king has seen a real person next door. The real person is named, and I, Wang Lang..."
"Ghost Knife Chen..."
…………
Looking at the messy appearance, Ye Ning smiled bitterly at Song Shidao, and he felt more and more embarrassed and speechless in his heart.
There is still a lack of experience. Ye Ning shook his head and looked at everyone in the building gently, which made everyone feel like Ye Ning was watching them. After the building gradually calmed down, he continued to speak.
"I would also like to ask everyone not to disturb you and others' food because Xiaodao is like this. If this is the case, it will be the sin of Xiaodao. Xiaodao still has something else to do, so I won't continue to disturb you here. Goodbye!"
Ye Ning moved Liezi's wind and his figure turned into a breeze in an instant, silently passing through everyone and swept downstairs.
Everyone present suddenly felt a flash of sight. Before he could speak, the young Taoist who was sitting there to toast to everyone just now disappeared without a trace.
One by one, who thought he was very powerful in martial arts, was stunned and shocked. He realized that his martial arts practice was extremely powerful and he had the ability of ghosts and gods.
Only Song Qing and Song Shidao had cultivated their unique skills to a high level and achieved great success in martial arts. Only then did they see a series of phantoms sweeping downstairs.
The two of them looked at each other. It was precisely because of their profound martial arts that they could see Ye Ning's body slightly, and they were even more shocked by Ye Ning's lightness and internal strength.
The two knew that their internal strength was not as good as each other's, so they rushed out of the window and followed Ye Ning's figure and fled outside the city.
……………………
In this clear autumn, when the trade wind blows, the masts and sails of various ships on the river are spreading full of space, and they are sailing up and down with the wind at a much extraordinary speed. As we come and go, the river is quite lively.
It is just because large ships are approaching the pier outside Kangmao County, so no other ships choose to dock at this pier.
After chasing for a long time, Ye Ning had already lost his trace. Song Shidao and Song Qing, who had only arrived at the dock based on their previous judgment, saw Ye Ning waiting for the boat at the dock at one glance.
Song Shidao's eyes lit up and he quickly walked forward. At this moment, he knew that Ye Ning's martial arts were outstanding, and Song Qing, who was still above Song Zhi, followed him closely to protect him.
"Master Qingxuan! I wonder if the lord is waiting for the ship here?"
A soft and nice voice sounded from behind Ye Ning. There was no doubt that this person was Song Shidao!
"Qingxuan has met Brother Song, and what Brother Song said is exactly. The little road wants to go to Jingling, so he is waiting for the ship here."
Ye Ning turned around and said, looking up, but saw that Song Shidao was slender, handsome, calm, and dressed in luxurious brocade clothes, showing the noble temperament of a high-ranking family.
"The Master Dao was not thinking carefully before, so I hope the Taoist priest would forgive his sins for his crimes."
Song Shidao's expression was humble, not only did he not have the common arrogance and superior style of a great family, but his words and deeds were more knowledgeable and Confucian scholarly demeanor.
"If the Taoist priest does not dislike it, the Master Dao's ship is to be transported to Shu, and it just goes along the way with the Taoist priest. The Taoist priest can take the boat off the way, which is not only convenient for the way, but also ensures that even if you encounter bandits, you will not be disturbed."
"Since that's the case," Ye Ning pondered for a moment, and then said decisively, "Then Qingxuan was disturbing."
Song Shidao was overjoyed and hurriedly pointed out the direction to lead Ye Ning forward.
For this peerless genius who broke the words of the second uncle Song Zhi, whether from the heart or the clan identity, he wanted to get close to Ye Ningduoduoduo.
The Song family was extremely powerful, and its salt transport ship was several five-masted ships. These ships had three floors, with a total of more than twenty cabins and windows. Song Shidao led Ye Ning to the second floor of the first ship.
...
night.
Song Shidao set up a banquet in the cabin hall to invite Ye Ning to apologize for his previous mistakes. It was simple and grand. Another Song family expert was present.
This man is about forty years old, but he has white hair and a silver-white beard. However, he has no sign of aging at all. He is graceful and heroic, with a great demeanor and a very modest and polite expression.
According to Song Shidao, it turned out that this white beard was a famous master of the Song family, "Silver beard", Song Lu. He was famous for his own creation of "Silver Dragon Killing Method" in Jiangnan. He was the clan uncle of Song Shidao and was one of the core figures of the Song family.
Previously, Ye Ning and Song Shidao took a boat down the river together, watching the scenery on both sides of the straits, talking about mysterious methods and giving guidance to the country while talking and laughing. The two were already quite familiar with each other.
However, when Song Shidao was about to introduce Ye Ning, Song Lu stroked his beard and smiled first: "In recent days, the name of the Taoist prince has been famous all over the world. Even the eldest brother has engraved the name of the Taoist priest on the sharpening hall. When you see him today, it is true that he is worthy of his reputation!"
Song Qing had not arrived at this moment, but he had already reported all the afternoon incident to Song Lu. With this light skill, he looked at the sword energy of Ye Ning's body that was as good as water, soft but not lacking in toughness. He knew very well that Ye Ning's way of using swords was better than his second brother.
"The name of Tiandao Song Que is also famous for a long time. It is rumored that those who can be engraved with their names on the sharpening hall by Tiandao Song Que are all considered to be enemies by him. It is really an honor to be ranked among the top."
When Ye Ning heard this, he was regarded as a strong enemy by Song Que, a master of the great master. Not only did he not have fear or anger, but he felt excited about trying.
His cultivation has reached his level, and it is difficult to make any progress simply by practicing hard. If you want to go further in a short period of time, Ye Ning needs to supplement his experience in fighting with masters.
In the battle of life and death, the reason why Yan Da allowed Ye Ning to walk down the mountain was to improve his cultivation. The so-called dusty heart was moved, but it was just an excuse.
If he could fight against Song Que, the benefit for Ye Ning was only in the battle with Cailin, the master Yijian Master, which would definitely give Ye Ning a breakthrough like a fish-turned-a-dragon-like breakthrough.
However, Ye Ning knew in his heart that he had not yet fully discovered the potential of the master's realm, and he had not yet fully discovered the master's realm. Compared with the Heavenly Sword, which had not forgotten the sword, but had reached nothing else but abandoned the sword.
The inability to enter the Dharma, and the intention to be unintentional are all practices and changes in the master's realm. Although Ye Ning has already involved the latter part at this time, he has not yet learned about the mystery...
...
Seeing that this person he admired was listed among his strong enemies by his father, Song Shidao frowned, but he did not dare to talk about his father's decision, so he had to avoid talking about it.
"Uncle Lu! Today I can gather with Taoist Qingxuan on this boat to talk about the mysterious theory. It is a fate. Why should I mention this matter and disturb our interest in tasting delicious food?"
"That's right." Song Lu smiled and took the lead in changing the topic. "I heard that I was in the city before, because of the mistakes of the master's Taoist, it disturbed the Taoist priest's interest. Song was respectful for three cups, thanking him for his crime and thanking Master Qingxuan for his generousness."
"Why did Mr. Song say this?" Seeing Song Lu's face unchanged, Ye Ning couldn't help but respond with a cup, and then said, "At that time, I had already had enough interest and was about to leave, so what's the blame for it?"
Song Shidaoxian was a little concerned about this, and after he started talking, he couldn't help but smile.
He raised his glass and said, "Master Qingxuan, you and I are similar in age, but I have practiced swordsmanship and martial arts to such an extent, which is not inferior to the older generation of masters. I really admire Master. Master will give you another cup."
"Brother Song, your cultivation has already reached the innate realm. If you can enter the state of no way with the law, your cultivation will definitely improve by leaps and bounds." Ye Ning reluctantly drank a glass before saying.
The two of them talked about martial arts, and they were quite interested in talking for a while, which made the table harmonious.
Song Lu, who was standing beside him, also had a smile on his face and said a few words from time to time, all of which were just right. Whether it was introducing the food on the table or talking about the affairs of the world, it was both precise and accurate, showing the background of the Song family and the demeanor of a generation of famous scholars.
However, Ye Ning was not very interested in the way of food, so he just listened with a smile. Ye Ning practiced Taoism since he was a child and had already entered the realm of the transformation of heaven and man.
There is no need for food anymore, so even though the chefs on the Song Valve ship are very skilled, they only taste every dish and taste it a little.
However, he was not unfamiliar with such banquets. He talked about some martial arts and swordsmanship with Song Shidao, and talked about the way of health preservation and the method of cultivating the mind with a smile. However, he was fully prepared.
