Pushing the bamboo raft into the water and holding a bamboo pole in his hand, Liu Xiaolou jumped up. The bamboo raft spun in the water and immediately floated along the current.
It can't float more than ten feet, and in front of it is a waterfall about ten feet high, with bamboo rafts falling from above.
Liu Xiaolou pointed his toes, and his body was slightly in the air. He sensed that the bamboo raft was about to turn over, so his true energy sank, and he exerted force with his hind feet to maintain the forward force of the bamboo raft. He landed steadily on the water under the waterfall, and his waist moved towards Pulling to the left, the bamboo raft bypassed the reef in front and continued to drift. The whole process was completed in one go.
"Hoo ho—" Liu Xiaolou was having a great time.
The upper reaches of the Wuchao River are very dangerous. In the past, Liu Xiaolou could not control the row down alone. Now his cultivation has reached a higher level, and he has made great progress in various aspects such as body skills, perception, balance and even the transformation of true energy. Progress, walking between waterfalls, dangerous shoals and reefs is indescribably enjoyable!
In less than half an hour, they had gone down the mountain, and then merged into the lower reaches of the river. The water became gentle, and boatmen fishing and crossing the river could be seen one after another on the river. Beside the river are green rice fields. The ears of rice are already full and bent down heavily. It looks like they will be harvested in a few days.
The number of houses along the river gradually increased, and the number of pedestrians became more and more dense. After turning a bend in the river, a prosperous town - Wuchao Town appeared.
The bamboo raft was close to the shore. Liu Xiaolou jumped ashore. The bamboo raft continued to float down the river. Don't worry about where it drifted. He would just tie up another one when he went down the mountain next time.
Wuchao Town has a main street that runs from east to west. Shops, restaurants, restaurants, and tea stalls are lined up along the street. It looks no different from other villages and towns, but the alleys branching out from it are very sophisticated. Not only are they Wulongshan is a trading place for casual cultivators, and many Jingxiang casual cultivators also come here because of its reputation.
The materials and goods traded here are of course not comparable to those in the big city of Tanzhou sixty miles away, but it is the place where Wulong Mountain's casual cultivators feel most comfortable trading. It is said that Shopkeeper Su of Zhongyi Square in Tanzhou received a lot of gifts from him, but he failed to get the job done. If he took the good things to him, he would naturally sell them at a high price. But the problem was that the spiritual grass was taken from Jinping Villa, and Jinping Villa had nothing to do with Zhongyi. They are both from the outer branch of Dongyang Sect. Going to Zhongyi Fang to trade is no different from coming to surrender.
Liu Xiaolou had been here many times with his teacher Mr. Sanxuan. He was familiar with Wuchao Town and knew all the rules. Walking eastward along the main street, there were two women guarding the first alley. .
The older one is called Zhang Ma, and she is the old bustard of the previous generation. It is said that she was once famous, but now she has been ravaged by the years; the younger one is very charming, less than thirty and has good looks, and her name is Sister Qing. , used to be the most famous name within dozens of miles of Wuchao Town. Now she no longer receives guests in person, but she is still the fairy in the hearts of many Wulong Mountain casual cultivators.
When foreigners first arrive in Wuchao Town, they often follow Sister Qing in because they don't know what's going on. Because Sister Qing is really beautiful and can be called a flower in Wulong Mountain, but in fact, locals mostly choose Ama Zhang.
Although Zhang Ma is old, her daughters are pretty good, and their overall beauty is better than that of Sister Qing's sisters. Unless Sister Qing goes into battle in person, that would be a bit of a head start, otherwise she will most likely regret it.
In the way of spiritual practice, regulating yin and yang is also an important step, otherwise there would be no such thing as dual cultivation. Previously, Liu Xiaolou was still young and had little cultivation, so there was no imbalance of yin and yang. The teacher did not let him practice the Sanxuanmen's art of regulating yin and yang, but only recited and learned it. He said that he would have to wait until he was over 18 years old to practice the yin and yang. Let’s talk about practice later in order to advance to a higher level.
But as a teacher, I have no restrictions. I often visit this alley. When I visit, I usually buy a pear for Liu Xiaolou and let him squat in the corner of the alley. I go in leisurely and feel comfortable. Come out after you feel good. The knowledge of Zhang Ma and Sister Qing is also the experience that the teacher has instilled in Liu Xiaolou in the past two years. Unfortunately, when Liu Xiaolou turned eighteen, the teacher took over.
As I passed the alley, I still remembered my teacher's teachings, so I couldn't help but pause.
After this meal, Sister Qing came to pester her: "Hey, isn't this the Immortal Master Xiaolou? What? The Immortal Master Xiaolou is over eighteen?"
Liu Xiaolou was startled. He didn't expect that the teacher must have revealed his identity before he died. He coughed dryly: "Ahem...yes..."
Sister Qing immediately became happy: "That's good! Are you having trouble practicing? Are you ordered to go down the mountain by the teacher? Come on, go to my sister's room, and I will take your pulse..."
Saying that, he started to pull.
Sister Qing was a martial artist when she was young. She had some skills, otherwise it would be difficult to control the sisters under her command. However, she couldn't stand it in front of Liu Xiaolou. Liu Xiaolou shook her arm lightly.
But she had been coveting this handsome little immortal master of the Sanxuan Sect for a long time. At this moment, Liu Xiaolou could not escape. Instead, she was all wrapped up in him. She pressed her chest against Liu Xiaolou and giggled: "This is the first time. ? Don’t worry, there’s no consultation fee, and I’ll take your pulse personally.”
Just when Liu Xiaolou was wondering what to do, Zhang's mother, who was leaning against the wall, suddenly asked, "Where is your husband?"
Liu Xiaolou replied: "Teacher became an adult, half a year ago."
At this moment, the atmosphere suddenly turned cold. Not only Zhang Ma was stunned, but Sister Qing also looked at Liu Xiaolou blankly, stretched out her hand to touch his head, and sighed softly.
Liu Xiaolou nodded to them, broke away from Sister Qing's arms, and walked towards the next alley.
There is a row of open wooden sheds in this alley, and dozens of monks are separated, several feet apart, facing each other, sitting in them, talking in low voices.
If the wealth is not leaked, if there are any real treasures, they will definitely not be spread out for sale. You can only go up and ask them one by one. Liu Xiaolou can also join them, just find a seat and sit down, and people will naturally come up to chat. Buying and selling are actually mutual. It can also be said that Liu Xiaolou came to buy spiritual stones, but the only thing he could pay for was the spiritual grass.
Liu Xiaolou walked slowly along the wooden shed and looked at each one. No one looked familiar, so he found an empty place to sit down and watch slowly.
Not long after he sat down, someone came up to him: "Little brother, do you have any goods you want to sell?"
Liu Xiaolou came here alone for the first time, and he was thinking about the teacher's advice: "When you come by yourself, be very careful, read more and talk less in everything, so as not to be coaxed by others."
The words were still ringing in my ears, so I didn't dare to say anything more. I just said, "Look, look and then talk."
The man smiled and said: "You can't be too cautious, but things always have to be brought out to see the light. If you are not satisfied with the price I offer, just don't sell it. How can I snatch it away? Everyone has the rules of Wuchao Town. Understand."
Wuchao town cannot be robbed openly, otherwise anyone who sees it can attack in groups. This is indeed the rule. Liu Xiaolou thought for a while and took out the spiritual grass: "I found it by chance outside the mountain, let's take a look. "
The man looked at it for a moment and asked, "What kind of grass?"
It seemed that he didn't know the goods, so Liu Xiaolou took them back: "There is a fate in selling goods, but if you don't know the goods, there is no fate."
The man nodded and wandered elsewhere.
Liu Xiaolou breathed a sigh of relief and continued to wait. After waiting for a moment, two more people came up to ask. Neither of them knew the grass. One shook his head and left, but the other made an offer: a hundred taels of grain silver or fifty liters of spiritual rice. Of course he was rejected by Liu Xiaolou.
