Two days later, Lin Shan and Jiang Protector galloped away from the county town.
Before leaving, I went to see Mr. Wu from the funeral parlor in the west of the city and introduced his five younger brothers to Mr. Zhao.
After Mr. Zhao learned that the five were "amazing talents" in the field of "archaeology", he immediately treated them as guests and treated them with great respect.
Before leaving, all the elders of the Zhao family wanted to give Linshan a gift, but they were naturally rejected without hesitation. He didn't want his mother-in-law, he just wanted to go to the capital to meet fellow immortal cultivators and see if there were more ancient charms there.
and opportunity.
At the moment, I was carrying eight thousand taels of gold given by the Zhao family, all of which were converted into silver notes issued by the official agency of the Song Dynasty, making it easy to carry on the road.
After all, starting from southern Xinjiang, you have to walk to Luzhou Prefecture first, then take the waterway down the Jialing River, cross Jingxiang to Jiangling, and then go all the way north to Bianliang, the imperial capital of the Song Dynasty.
The journey went round and round, covering tens of thousands of miles.
Naturally, you cannot let go of the surrounding cities you pass by. If you encounter an antique with ancient charm, you must take it no matter what.
After all, now I want money and strength. There is no need to continue to be timid. As long as the appearance is not too ugly, no force dares to provoke an immortal cultivator.
…
After leaving Zanghe County, at Linshan's invitation, Protector Jiang first accompanied him to his hometown of Qinghe County.
But after arriving in Qinghe County, Lin Shan went to Lin's Escort Agency to inquire secretly. It seemed that Master Pu had never come back since he robbed the escort two years ago.
Lin Shan knew of course that the escort robbery was a scene that the county warden directed and performed himself. He also confirmed with Protector Jiang that the person who contacted him that day was indeed the county magistrate Yang Huaili.
So he sneaked into the home of the Prime Minister of Qinghe County and tortured him.
Yang Juncheng lost his temper when someone came to his door. He honestly said that after the escort robbery, some survivors came back and they were indeed caught and thrown into the prison, but there was no Master Pu among them.
He took Lin Shan and the two to the prison and saw the bodyguards under Mr. Wang who were imprisoned inside. Indeed, there was no Master Pu. After asking these bodyguards, they had never seen Master Pu caught.
Lin Shan rescued these people. Naturally, Yang Juncheng did not dare to disobey the innate master. Instead, he had to find a way to hide it, otherwise there would be no good consequences for him if the county guard found out.
Unable to find Master Pu, Lin Shan could only assume that he was hiding to avoid pursuit, so he had to give up for the time being.
Then he quietly returned to the Lin Mansion. Lin Shan did not alert anyone, but silently looked at the small house where he had lived for ten years, and then left resolutely.
But before leaving, I seemed to hear that some members of the Lin family were still discussing Lin Fan.
A year ago, Lin Fan was specially accepted as a disciple by a passing immortal and was taken away to cultivate immortality! At that time, the news spread throughout Qinghe County...
…
Lin Shan and Protector Jiang rode non-stop for about three days to Luzhou. The two of them did a little shopping in the city. Unfortunately, Lin Shan did not find the antiques he "favored".
But it’s normal to think about it. I found a famous painting in the study of the head of the Lin family in Qinghe County, and the rest of the golden bells and a bunch of Buddhist items I got in Zangqi County were all belongings of the Black Lotus Sect in Yelang’s ancient tomb.
.
Listening to the conversation between Lei Zhenzi and the two, Black Lotus used to be a sect that cultivates immortals!
The remaining tokens belong to the legacy of the ancient organization Nightingale. The last wave of tokens were fished out from major families or private collections by the Zhao family after hundreds of years of contacts and accumulation. This shows how difficult it is to obtain ancient charms.
Lin Shan didn't expect to find a place he was passing by, and he would find it just by looking. After finding nothing, he simply took a boat with Jiang Hufa and drifted along the Jialing River.
While taking the boat, Lin Shan saw the mountains on both sides and couldn't help but think of the famous sayings from his previous life.
"The apes on both sides of the strait can't stop crying, and the boat has passed the Ten Thousand Mountains."
After seeing a lot of scenery, I returned to the canopy and continued to practice.
…
Half a month later, the two arrived in Jiangling smoothly.
Jiangling is the gathering place for commerce and trade in the nine counties of Jingxiang and Xiangzhou. It is extremely rich and rich. Various centuries-old families and famous gangs in the world are located here. There are even water bandits from all walks of life blocking the river to rob, and the government is trying to suppress them all.
Such a prosperous city is also a transit place for the northern capital city.
The two of them got off the pier on the other side, and the boatman who sent them from Luzhou rowed away.
This is a public dock from all over the world, gathering boats from all over the world. The boatman can only send them here, and the remaining thirty miles of waterway to the dock outside Jiangling City are completely taken over by the local gang "Sanshouwu".
Want to go to Gangneung? No problem! You can only take the "Samsuwu" boat.
This kind of overbearing behavior naturally aroused dissatisfaction from many parties at the beginning, but Sanshouwu not only had a large number of gang members, but also had a strong background in the Jiangling government. Over time, local boatmen around Jiangling joined the gang one after another.
If you don't join, there will be no business. If you can't beat them, you will have to join them.
Other foreign ships have no choice but to unload passengers at the pier designated by Sanshouwu, leaving the rest of the waterway business to Sanshouwu.
After understanding the rules, Lin Shan and the others had no intention of breaking them. They were just passing by anyway, and it didn't matter who made the money or sailed the boat.
So the two of them queued up and waited at the public pier. After all, Jiangling is connected to Bashu in the west, Jianghuai in the east, and the center of the nine counties of Jingxiang and Jingxiang. There is naturally a lot of traffic.
Under the hustle and bustle, Lin Shan and Protector Jiang also started chatting.
Along the way, Protector Jiang vaguely expressed that he also yearned for cultivating immortals, and hoped that Lin Shan could help him. Lin Shan naturally pretended to say that Protector Jiang did not have the spiritual roots to cultivate immortals, and there was nothing he could do.
As for although he had three immortal cultivation techniques in his hand, he had no intention of handing them over to Protector Jiang to try one by one.
After all, these things are something that can only be encountered but cannot be sought. Fortunately, I have worked hard to strengthen it, so how can I just tell others about it.
He had also made an exchange with Protector Jiang at the beginning, and neither party owed anything to the other.
While the two were chatting, large boats and small boats came from the direction of Jiangling from time to time on the river, hurriedly heading downstream to Dongting Lake.
And from time to time, a large group of people hurriedly came behind me, jumping in line and taking a boat to Dongting Lake.
Some were dressed in black as a group, some were all in yellow robes with short sleeves, and some even painted their eyebrows red. I don’t know, they thought they were going to the market. The crowd around them also started to talk about it.
"What's going on today? So many people are going to Dongting Lake?"
"I don't know! The person who jumped in line just now seems to be a member of the Hong family, a wealthy family in Lingling County."
"I also saw people from the Wuling Fist Fist Gang."
"Hey, look, there's another team coming, the troops from Yichang Yudaomen."
…
Now Lin Shan and Jiang Hufa couldn't sit still. It wasn't that they had any idea about the people from across Jiangling and from various counties heading to Dongting, but that the people behind them kept jumping in line.
The two of them had arrived here in the morning, but it was almost noon now. There were many people in the queue in front, and the boats coming and going were all occupied by the sects coming from behind, and they were transporting them to Dongting one by one.
Ordinary people queuing up naturally did not dare to cause trouble. Some idle heroes had no choice but to give up when they saw the large group of people and just suffered in the sun at the pier.
But Protector Lin Shanjiang couldn't wait any longer.
Seeing that another group of men in red came to cut in line, Protector Jiang stepped forward to stop them and said his words were as precious as gold.
"go back!"
"???"
The people in red were stunned for a moment and kept looking at each other, feeling that this man was somehow crazy.
The leading young man frowned at Protector Jiang and said, "Brother, we are from the Yu Dao Sect. We are rushing to Dongting in an emergency. Please give way!"
Protector Jiang just pursed his lips towards the back of the crowd and said just two words.
"queue."
"!!!"
Now all the people in red at Yudaomen are furious. Who in the nearby Jingxiangzhou County doesn’t know about Yudaomen? There are still people who dare not give them face!
"Where did this stupid young man come from?"
"Can you bear the responsibility for delaying a big thing?"
"Don't be shameless, get out of here!"
…
But the leading young man seemed to be very authoritative. He just raised his hand and everything behind him fell silent instantly.
"Friends, please obey the emergency! We don't have time to waste here. As an apology, this ingot of silver is considered as compensation."
After saying that, he threw out an ingot of horseshoe silver, a total of fifty taels. It seemed that he was really in a hurry and didn't want to get too entangled with others.
Protector Jiang didn't even bother to stretch out his hands, letting the money roll on the ground and simply blocking it in front of the person.
Now the people in red couldn't help it anymore, this was a slap in the face! In front of so many people at the dock, if there was no explanation today, Yu Daomen would probably become the laughing stock of the world.
At this time, the leading young man still stopped his men from taking action. Instead, he carefully observed Protector Jiang, but he couldn't see through the cultivation level on the other side, and he had a vague feeling that this person seemed to be relying on someone.
At that moment, he calmly clasped his fists and said, "I'll let you go crazy at Yu Dao Sect! I, the director of the sect, am my father. I dare to ask my brother to give me some face. If you think it's too little, we can discuss it again!"
This young man's name is "Let me be crazy", but he is not crazy at all! Lin Shan even felt that his father gave him this name, which was a bit unfair to his character.
"Is it for cross-talk?" Lin Shan complained secretly in his heart.
Jiang Hufa remained unmoved. He had been waiting all morning, so naturally he could not continue to cut in line for others, and would not let Yu Daomen pass no matter what.
As for what kind of director I am? I have never heard of it. So what if I offend you? I don’t hang around here anyway. How dare you come to Nightingale Headquarters to look for me when you return to the capital?
The young master of Yu Dao Clan has no choice now. After all, he doesn't even give his father the face of an innate master. If he doesn't do anything anymore, he will definitely have trouble convincing the public in the future.
A group of people behind them turned their heads one after another. When they saw that the young sect leader was no longer talking, they naturally understood and rushed up.
