Nanzhou is a land of plenty and has developed water transportation.
Sioux City is dotted with rivers, and boats often shuttle through the rivers, carrying passengers or cargo.
Traveling by boat is also the first choice for young ladies in Sioux City.
In the depths of the night, in a remote river, two small boats met and moved forward without staggering. The cabins were diagonally opposite each other, with curtains blocking each other.
The boatman stood at the front and back of the two boats, looking around.
"How dare you come out at this time." The person who spoke first said angrily.
But the other party said unhurriedly: "Everywhere in Su City is under strict investigation, and it is difficult to get out of the city. If you keep hiding, you will be caught sooner or later. Therefore, I took the risk to come out to ask for help from Lord Ancestor." help me!"
The two people were Zu Anbang and Su Ling.
Su Ling hid after leaving Su Mansion, and no one knew where he was going.
Zu Anbang thought that Su Ling had already escaped from Su City, but he never thought that this guy was still lingering in Su City.
Zu Anbang said angrily: "How can I help you? In order to notify you in advance to escape, I have been suspected by Yu Zhi. Why are you still staying in Su City?"
"You and I both know those things. If you are caught, Yu Zhi can kill you on the spot."
Zu Anbang never expected that something would happen to Su Ling.
The case of the missing children had just ended when the black powder in Huanyi Building was discovered.
This Yu Zhi is really omniscient and omnipotent.
Su Ling sneered and said, "If something happens to me, what about you, Master Zu? Do you think you can survive alone?"
Zu Anbang understood that he and Su Ling were on the same thread. If Su Ling was caught, Zu Anbang would not be immune.
Zu Anbang sighed and said, "Just wait a few more days. I will let people know that you have escaped from Su City. I hope the defense of Su City Army will be relaxed, and you will leave Su City by then."
Su Ling shook his head and said: "There will be changes in a few days. My hiding place will change again and again. Find me a hiding place first."
"You...Okay, I'll let you know when I find a safe place." Zu Anbang was afraid of offending Su Ling.
But now, he had no choice but to follow Lidya Su's wishes.
Su Ling continued: "There are a few things in the attic that are very important and must be taken out."
"What time of the day is it? Life or things are more important." Zu Anbang angrily yelled.
Su Ling remained calm and said, "If others know about some things, you and I will both die."
Zu Anbang felt that he had gotten into big trouble. He now regretted coveting the official position of Sucheng County Sheriff. Otherwise, he would still be leisurely walking around Jiangnan City at this time.
"Wait for my news!"
Zu Anbang left in a hurry after leaving such words.
This matter is a disaster for Zu Anbang. If you can't avoid it, you will definitely die.
.......
Gutian Pagoda greets the moonlight alone, and the bright moon falls on the top of the tower. The cold moonlight makes this ancient tower that has stood for thousands of years appear more mysterious and lonely.
No one knows why there is this Gutian Tower, only that there are tower guards.
The world only needs to know that if you enter it, you will have the opportunity to become a master and stand at the pinnacle of martial arts.
It has been half a year since Xiang Ji entered Gutian Tower. All eyes in the world are fixed on Gutian Tower, waiting for Xiang Ji to walk out.
Perhaps they are all looking forward to the sixth powerful master.
The Gutian Tower was not as dark as before, and the flames lit up one after another on the walls, which was a rare light. Countless flames surrounded a figure in the middle.
This figure is Xiang Ji who has been in Gutian Tower for half a year.
Xiang Ji sat cross-legged with his eyes closed and his expression calm. In the past six months, he has gone through countless tests, one step leads to death, one step leads to heaven.
The tenth-level master realm is the practice of asking one’s mind.
Those who are not mentally determined will never be able to break through.
Half a year, one year, three years, even ten years...
Breaking through seclusion is not something that can be accomplished in a day. It depends on the individual, his state of mind, and his talent.
As for the strong men who can cultivate to the ninth level of the Open Monument, their talents are naturally monsters.
The tower guard was unkempt and looked the same as he had hundreds of years ago. Ever since Li Haomiao got to know the tower guard, the tower guard has had this image.
The rusty iron sword was thrown casually in front of the tower, and no one would pick it up.
"Here, Nanzhou's famous young master laughs." Li Haomiao casually threw a bottle of wine.
The tower guard, who was sitting in front of the tower like a beggar, had no intention of stretching out his hand. He was just waiting for the wine bottle to hit him. The next moment, the wine bottle in front of him was in his hand.
The strength of the powerful master here is astonishing.
Every time Li Haomiao came to Gutian Tower, he would bring some wine to the tower guard, and the two of them would sit under the Gutian Tower and drink.
Gulu gulu!
A bottle of wine was poured into the stomach of the tower guard.
Li Haomiao shook his head helplessly and said, "What a waste of natural resources. You really don't know how expensive this bottle is. It only costs one tael of silver for this bottle. It's not your money that I dare to love!"
The tower guard looked at the wine bottle and said calmly: "It turns out to be this guy's wine. Drinks that used to cost only a few cents, why do they cost one or two cents now?"
Suddenly, the tower guard suddenly realized and said to himself: "After hundreds of years, she should be dead. A hundred years of inheritance is worth a tael of silver."
Li Haomiao smiled in astonishment as he listened to the tower guard's words. He didn't know how long the guy in front of him had lived, whether it was hundreds of years or even thousands of years.
"You can't leave Gutian Tower, and have you met the ancestors of this restaurant?"
The tower guard seemed to have a rare interest, and his eyes covered by his hair shone brightly. He said nostalgically: "A long time ago, I didn't have to guard this broken tower. At that time, I drank wine like this on the roadside. The taste has not changed much. The current restaurant should be her descendant."
"Fate." Li Haomiao took out another bottle of wine and handed it to the tower guard. "No one can live for hundreds of years, but this wine can live for hundreds of years."
This time, the tower guard slowly tasted the wine and looked at the three words on the bottle - Young Master smiled.
Now, what he drinks is not the taste of wine, but the taste of his youth.
"At that time, the wine didn't have a name. I told her that since we were selling wine, and we were selling wine in Nanzhou, a place where people are obsessed with literature, we had to come up with a nice wine name."
Li Haomiao also looked at the writing on the wine bottle and said, "Young master laughs. This doesn't sound good either."
"Maybe. She is a child from a poor family. She was only in her prime when she sold wine, so she naturally couldn't come up with a nice wine name. I remember she must have been thinking about it for a few days." The tower guard smiled. This was Li Haomiao. It was the first time I saw the tower guard smile.
His usual indifference and aloofness completely disappeared in this smile.
Hundreds of years ago, the tower keeper was also an extremely handsome young man.
"A few days later, I went for a drink. She told me that the name of the wine had been decided, and it was called Gongzixiao. She said that she hoped everyone would be as happy as Gongzi after drinking her wine."
The tower guard took a sip of wine, but he was reluctant to drink it.
"and after?"
"What happened next?"
"Did you go out to drink again afterwards?"
"Later... later..." The smile on the tower guard's lips gradually disappeared and turned into a wry smile. "Later, in order to practice my sword, I traveled all over Nanzhou and put my peers under the sword."
"Later, for the sake of swordsmanship, I became what I am now. But then, I never tasted such good wine again."
The tower guard regretted it. He should have walked around the world again and tasted the girl's wine.
In a few words, the life of a generation of swordsman masters was fully described.
There are always regrets in life. Only regret makes this moment more important and precious.
Suddenly, the tower guard looked at Li Haomiao and said, "I'm not as good as you."
Li Haomiao was puzzled. He had competed with the tower guardians, but he failed miserably every time.
After struggling several times, Li Haomiao still failed miserably, so he never competed with the tower guardian again.
Why go to the top to ask for a beating?
Just like his state of mind, he is free and casual and never sticks to victory or defeat.
The tower guard continued: "You and I have known each other for a long time. You have also entered Gutian Tower, so you should have guessed my identity. Gutian Tower is an opportunity, but the price for getting this opportunity is freedom."
"You entered Gutian Tower. Everyone thought you broke through because of the opportunities in Gutian Tower. Only I know that after experiencing the test of Gutian Tower, you no longer need that opportunity. One day or ten years , you will become a master of swordsmanship sooner or later. And you broke through the realm when you walked out of Gutian Tower."
"My swordsmanship is better than yours, but my state of mind is more than a little worse than yours. So, I exchanged my freedom for the mastery of swordsmanship."
Li Haomiao smiled and said nothing. He knew the identity of the tower guard and respected him in his heart. Because during these hundreds of years, he has guarded this tower for the world and maintained peace for a hundred years.
There is never anyone inferior to anyone.
Being weak does not mean that you are a loser.
"Where is Xiang Ji? Can he break through?" Li Haomiao asked.
The tower guard said: "He... has too much nostalgia and is not as good as me."
Li Haomiao laughed. He was not afraid of Xiang Ji breaking through the realm. The sword in his hand was the belief that he would win, just like he gave Cang Bielie the insight of breaking through the realm.
In the same situation, Li Haomiao is confident that he is not inferior to anyone!
"The catastrophe is coming, and there's not much I can do." The tower guard sighed quietly.
"Li Haomiao will rely on you next."
Li Haomiao looked solemnly as he looked towards the sword cultivators who were still climbing on the mountain path. Among the countless sword cultivators, Li Haomiao wanted to find a stubborn figure. Unfortunately, he didn't find it.
Half a year ago, Li Haomiao gave guidance to a stubborn young man at the foot of the mountain. Did the young man named A Liang still give up?
Because of the other party's stubbornness, Li Haomiao gave him a sword. How much he can understand depends on himself.
Now, there is no trace of A Liang on the mountain road.
The tower guard followed Li Haomiao's gaze, guessed his thoughts, and said, "Half a month ago, the young man named A Liang came here."
"He really came up?" Even Li Haomiao was surprised.
The tower guard nodded, he still remembered that A Liang.
"The young man said, let me tell you. One day I will become a master, and I will come back to thank you."
Li Haomiao chuckled, "A young man should have great aspirations and compete in the sky thousands of miles away! His heart is higher than the sky. Do you think he can do it?"
"no."
"Why are you so absolute? That kid in my family doesn't have such great ambitions. Isn't he too stupid to reach the realm of opening a monument? Well, speaking of this kid, I wonder who he has tricked now?"
