The mysterious way to pick up flowers is because I didn’t give it my all.
So it won't have much effect on water ghosts.
But it's different for ordinary people.
They don't have as much strength and soul as the water ghosts.
After being tricked, if it weren't for the effect of the Mysterious Way, he would have definitely fallen into an illusion, and just like the animals he had tested, he would have gone crazy and died.
The general put the shinban into the storage space, glanced around, and found that the deck was in a mess.
Those who survived all fell into coma.
It can be said that Hou Jiuming is the only one who is still awake on the entire ship.
"That's good, it saves you trouble!"
His identity as a cultivator has been exposed. If these people are still awake, they will definitely be very annoyed in the next few days.
After all, a cultivator of immortality is only encountered once in a hundred years. It is not easy to meet one, and no one will let go of this rare opportunity.
He, a lazy person with terminal cancer, would have to die from a headache if he had to deal with the apprenticeship of all the people on the ship?
In the next few days, Hou Jiuming alone controlled the three-gallon ship.
Out of curiosity, he once watched the helmsman operate the boat, so he had some experience on how to sail the boat.
At the beginning, it was a bit confusing, but after driving for dozens of miles, I became proficient.
The main thing is to go down the river. There is no need for complicated maneuvers. You just need to control the direction.
In the past few days, Master Ma woke up once because he was an acquired warrior and had stronger resistance than others.
But before he could understand what was going on, Hou Jiuming put him there again. This time, he was guaranteed to sleep longer than the others.
As for whether he would starve to death, he didn't care at all. He was not a good person anyway, so he would just die.
…………
At noon on the third day, the boat Hou Jiuming was riding was sailing smoothly on the river, and boats kept passing by.
"It should be arriving soon."
Looking at the busy river, Hou Jiuming guessed that this place was not far from Linjiang City.
"In this case, it's time to leave!"
Everyone on the ship knew his true identity, so it was no longer appropriate to land with them.
After thinking about it, he decided to leave here. I believe he can walk the rest of the journey in a short time.
After making a decision, without any delay, he maneuvered the boat to slowly approach the shore, and then lowered the anchor.
When the ship came to a complete stop, he went to the deck and looked at everyone. He found that everyone was fine and would wake up soon before leaving.
…………
Linjiang City is located at the junction of the three kingdoms: Hanyue Kingdom, Qianyu Kingdom, and Mingfeng Kingdom.
On the surface, it belongs to a three-nothing zone.
In fact, secretly, it is controlled by three major immortal cultivating families.
These three major immortal cultivating families are the Wang family of the Shanyue Kingdom, the Li family of the Qianyu Kingdom, and finally the Ji family of the Fengming Kingdom.
The reason why three dignified cultivating families control a common city is because there is a regular market in this city called Huajiang City.
This workshop is jointly managed by three families, attracting monks and casual cultivators from several surrounding countries, and can continuously bring rich spiritual stone income to the three families.
As the sun passes over the Western Mountains, the sky is filled with sunset.
On the rugged path, Hou Jiuming walked with his hands behind his back.
After getting off the boat, he took his time, just like a person out for fun, admiring the scenery while hurrying on his way without being in a hurry.
I have to say that the sky in ancient times was really clean.
Even if it doesn't rain, it can still make people feel refreshing.
The blue sky and white clouds of various shapes, looking at them, can make you feel like you are admiring a painting.
Although he didn't deliberately rush, he still arrived at Linjiang City before dark.
"so big!"
Looking at the city in front of him, Hou Jiuming was amazed again and again.
This city is the largest city he has ever seen since coming to this world.
Standing at the city gate and looking both ways, you can't see the end at all.
Not only that, even the height and thickness of the city wall are more than double that of other cities.
Just compare the Solid Rock City where he once lived briefly. Putting the two sides together, Solid Rock City is a younger brother, not even one-tenth of others.
From this we can see how big Linjiang City is.
Entering from the city gate, there were no soldiers guarding the city on either side, only a group of guards dressed in different clothes who were obviously not officers and soldiers patrolling constantly.
There is no need to pay any fees to enter the city, and anyone can enter and exit.
As soon as we entered the city, we were greeted by a commotion.
Cars and horses passing by, pedestrians carrying burdens, the sounds of shouting and selling, and the shouts of shopkeepers soliciting customers from the shops on both sides.
"I'm selling vegetables. I just pulled vegetables from the fields..."
"Come and take a look, fresh river fish are for sale..."
"How do you sell this thing? Can it be cheaper?"
"Sir, do you need a hotel? It's spacious, clean, cheap, and the food is good. I'm sure you'll be satisfied!"
Hou Jiuming had just entered the city, and before he had even taken two steps, he was surrounded by a group of half-grown children.
They all help the inn to generate business.
They will get a commission for every customer they get.
It’s almost the same as the teeth from Yaxing.
For this kind of thing, he did not refuse. He directly picked the one that looked more miserable and let him lead him to the inn.
After walking for a while, we came to an inn called Yuelai.
Seeing this name, Hou Jiuming couldn't help but complain, "There really are Yuelai Inns everywhere!"
After spending five taels of silver, I got a room in the upper room and stayed there temporarily.
Although you can sleep on the boat, it is ups and downs and rocking, and it is always not as stable as resting on the ground.
Therefore, after tidying up my personal hygiene, I directly chose to go to bed.
After sleeping until midnight the next day, Hou Jiuming didn't leave the inn.
After having a delicious meal at a place selling mutton soup, we headed to our destination, Huajiangfang City.
This market is different from other markets in that it is hidden in the busy city.
And it only opens at night.
During the day, although there are shops open, there are no stalls.
In Fangshi, the things sold in the shops are relatively expensive, so if you don't have to, you generally won't buy them there.
Hou Jiuming inquired all the way, and it took him half an hour to find the location of Fangshi, Tianhua Temple.
"This is Fangshi?"
Looking at the dilapidated Tianhua Temple, Hou Jiuming fell into doubt.
This place doesn't look like a city at all, because it's really terrible.
One of the gates of the temple is missing, and the plaque on the door, which is the sky of Tianhua Temple, is even missing a crossbar, and it has become Dahua Temple directly.
This is just the outside, the situation inside is even worse.
In his consciousness, the yard was filled with weeds as tall as a man, densely packed without any gaps.
It didn't look like anyone was coming or going at all.
