Yu Ye stayed in the thatched pavilion outside the town for several hours.
During this period, he had seen enough wind and rain, heard enough sighs, appreciated some poetry and painting, and understood the meaning of Ten Miles of Misty Rain. This was helpless. After Yu Xin left, he became Meng Qingqing's only partner and only support. What's more, he saved Meng Qingqing's life twice and was her savior. Because of this, Meng Qingqing invited him to take a walk in the rain, accompany him to see Ten Miles of Misty Rain, and talk with him about the mortal world and life in the immortal world. Facing such a temperamental woman, he could only accompany her quietly and listen silently. Either answer a few questions, or stare blankly at the surging river.
Answering Meng Qingqing's question didn't seem easy.
She asked: Are you a disciple of Xuanhuang Mountain and who do you study under? Is it true that the Qizhou monk accused you of stealing the treasure? What kind of treasure caused great disaster to Daze? Why can't I see your cultivation level and whether you have used secret magic? Technique; where do your sword energy techniques and endless talismans come from; if you have an unknown treasure, why don't you use it to save Daze Daomen; during the trip to Beiqi Mountain, why did you refuse Taofeng's kind invitation? Then why did he hide in the dark and help him again and again, etc.
He replied: I have no sect and no master. The accusations made by the monks in Qizhou are nonsense and are just to frame the blame. In fact, they have other motives. The reason why I can't see my cultivation is because of the cultivation techniques. To; the sword energy was taught by an expert from outside the world, and the talisman was obtained from killing people; there is no treasure, and the disaster of Da Ze Dao Sect has nothing to do with him; there is no other intention in rejecting Tao Feng's invitation, the Dao is different and not conspiring with each other; Cultivation If you are humble, you can only hide in the dark and strive to protect yourself; as for helping, it is moral and camaraderie. If the above sentence is true, I will never accept similar inquiries or any doubts in the future.
As expected, Meng Qingqing no longer asked, but instead talked about his childhood past and interesting anecdotes about Taoism, and discussed with him his cultivation experience and the art of setting up formations. The Taoist sect of Tiandan Peak is best at formations. She and Yu Xin are both well versed in this technique. Yu Ye suddenly became interested and humbly asked for advice. She also patiently explained and gave him three small flags, called formation flags, which can be used to set up three-talent formations, have offensive and defensive capabilities, and are said to be very powerful.
Yu Ye didn't like taking advantage for nothing, so he gave Meng Qingqing a jade slip of the martial art, two Dragon Subduing Talismans, and ten Lihuo Talismans as compensation.
A few hours later, the two of them returned together. It was still a misty journey, but they each gained different things.
Jiaoying said that he suffered a loss again. First, someone found out the details and tested out the depth. Another one, the Three Talents Flag Formation is an introductory technique to the formation, and is only worth three to five spiritual stones. And what he gave away could not be bought with a hundred spiritual stones.
Yu Ye ignored Jiao Ying's complaints and acted on his own terms. He made an agreement with Meng Qingqing to set off on his way after the rain stopped...
Early morning three days later.
The sky is not clear yet and the rain has stopped.
Yu Ye followed Meng Qingqing and left the inn.
Walking on the street after the rain, Meng Qingqing held up her oilcloth umbrella again. The figure in the blue silk skirt, the green trees on the street corner, and the budding wild flowers beside the road all reveal a fresh and graceful beauty.
There is a small dock three or five miles south of the town.
There are several wooden boats parked at the dock. Nowadays, the river water has surged and the mountain road has been blocked. When local people go out to travel, they can only take boats and take waterways.
Yu Ye and Meng Qingqing boarded a wooden boat.
The wooden captain is about two or three feet long, with a canopy in the middle. There were already five or six guests sitting in the cabin under the canopy. After the two of them boarded the boat, the boatman lit three firecrackers, shouted "Fair wind and smooth sailing", and then slowly left the shore with the wooden boat.
The boatman is a father and son pair.
The person rocking the oars at the stern is probably the father, a man in his forties, with a dark complexion and a simple appearance; the son holding the pole in the bow is a young man, wearing a coarse cloth short coat, shirtless, bare feet, and a copper-colored face. with a smile on his face.
It's a hundred miles away, a three-day journey. And if you are riding a horse or walking, you will have to take a detour of at least hundreds of miles. Although the waterway is slow, it is smooth and smooth, and it is also a common travel method in the south of Daze.
Meng Qingqing was sitting on the bow of the boat, still holding an umbrella on her shoulders. Its beautiful appearance and graceful figure add a touch of touching color to the scene after the rain.
The men who were punting the boats were also full-blooded, and they were inevitably moved by the beautiful women. From time to time, they would look back and have a laugh, waving the pennies in their hands so loudly that they made the wind sound.
Yu Ye was sitting in the cabin with several guests, pulling down his bamboo hat and closing his eyes slightly, as if he was dozing off, while the hands hidden in his sleeves were trying various mudras and hand techniques.
Jiao Ying has passed down all the training methods and related tips of the Heavenly Forbidden Trap Technique. He practiced according to the law for three days and has achieved some success. However, he does not know how powerful it is and needs further verification. Thanks to Jiao Ying's help, otherwise, depending on his level of cultivation, he would not have been able to understand the mystery of the "Tian Forbidden Technique" within three to five years.
Just as Jiao Ying said, the journey is long and full of dangers. He has no one to rely on and cannot hope for help from others or protection from fate. The Heavenly Dragon Shield, the Seven Kills Sword Qi, and the "Heavenly Forbidden Technique" are his most trusted means of protecting his life, and they are also his only capital for traveling overseas and establishing a foothold in the Immortal Sect.
However, he felt that this capital was not substantial enough. If you don't have the ability to escape, how can you save your life? Having used the Armor-Breaking Talisman, one naturally understands the benefits of escape techniques. Therefore, he is looking forward to "Nine Escapes of Heaven and Earth".
And Jiao Ying said again that Jiu Escape's skills were incomplete, leaving only five escape methods: earth, wind, fire, water, and dragon. If you practice one by one, not to mention wasting time, it will be difficult to win by surprise when facing a strong enemy. From her point of view, the so-called Nine Escapes of Heaven and Earth are very similar to the escape methods she is familiar with. It is better to choose one escape method and improve it so that it has the advantages of various escape methods without losing its powerful power. But let her understand it carefully before making a decision, and wait patiently for a while.
Yu Ye naturally had no objections, but was even more looking forward to it.
With the Heavenly Dragon Shield to protect the body, the trapping technique to control the enemy, the sword energy to kill the enemy, and the escape technique to escape, this set of methods is perfect...
When it was almost noon, the boat docked to rest.
The stove was lit in the bow of the boat, fish soup was cooked, and pancakes were simmered, which the boatman shared with everyone.
There were eight guests on this trip. In addition to Yu Ye and Meng Qingqing, there were four traveling vendors and a young couple visiting relatives.
The river bank is located in the wild, with no one near or far, except for a few weeping willows. The long hair-like willow branches sway in the wind, reflecting in the river water.
The sky was still not clear, with raindrops falling from time to time, and a gentle breeze blowing across the river, which was actually cool and pleasant.
Yu Ye took a piece of cake and jumped ashore alone.
The shore was slippery and I almost fell down, and it was inconvenient to use the lightening technique, so I had to use my hands and feet together, which made me quite embarrassed, which caused a burst of laughter on the boat.
The boatman's surname is Qi, and he calls himself Boss Qi. His son is in his twenties and his name is Qi Chun. The father and son have been sailing for several years and are familiar with the waterway from Nanqi Town to Gaoliang Town. It was learned from his mouth that after arriving at Gaoliang, another three hundred miles would be the boundary of Nanping Mountain. Huazhou Town also belongs to the boundary of Nanping Mountain. As for the sea crossing pier in Huazhou Town, it is unknown.
"Yu Ye——"
Yu Ye stood on the shore, looking at the wilderness scenery, eating pancakes in his mouth, thinking about the next journey.
Meng Qingqing called from the boat, obviously also wanting to go ashore to enjoy the cool breeze.
With her skills, not to mention landing ashore, she could also fly up a big tree with her feet raised. At this moment, she was still holding an oil umbrella, looking frail and pitiful.
Yu Ye ignored it.
It's just a disguise. Does she really think she is an ordinary woman? I don’t want to let go of that umbrella. Doesn’t it look good holding it?
The boatman named Qi Chun was also very enthusiastic. He brought fish soup and pancakes to her attentively, but she turned a blind eye and only waved to Yu Ye. Qi Chun did not dare to neglect, so he quickly moved a springboard and set it up on the shore. Meng Qingqing bowed like a lady, put on a smile, then swayed ashore with an umbrella on her shoulders. The guests then came to the shore and took the opportunity to enjoy the emptiness of the wilderness and the coolness of summer.
"Take it!"
Meng Qingqing walked to Yu Ye's side, holding a small pastry in her hand, and signaled softly——
"You and I stay away from the food of fireworks. Eating and drinking is nothing more than a temporary pleasure!"
Yu Ye had already swallowed the pancake, shook his head and said, "Braised pork is the most delicious thing!" As he said this, he put a wine bottle in his hand, raised his head and neck, took a sip of wine, and then exhaled the smell of wine, still feeling unfinished. : "Eating meat and drinking wine is the most enjoyable thing!"
Meng Qingqing frowned slightly and said: "He has the habit of being a gangster!"
Jianghu habits mean rudeness and barbarism.
Yu Ye smiled slightly, raised the wine bottle and took another sip of wine. His drinking style was learned from Zhongjian and Tianbao. He may be rude and barbaric, but he is also free and easy.
Looking back, the days when I was traveling around the world were the happiest. It's just that the world is far away and the future is uncertain...
After a while, the boat continued to move along the water.
In the evening, the group docked again to rest.
Lanterns were hung on the bows of the boats and fires were lit on the shore.
According to the wishes of Boss Qi, the young couple among the passengers and Meng Qingqing lived in the cabin, with Qi Chun guarding them at the bow to avoid accidents, while the others stayed on the shore for the night. Meng Qingqing ignored Qi Chun's efforts to stay, insisted on following Yu Ye, and claimed that Yu Ye was her brother, which dispelled Qi Chun and everyone's doubts.
As the night grew darker, everyone took a rest.
On the shore, Meng Qingqing and Yu Ye sat side by side, took out a jade slip, and talked about the introductory skills of the formation. Yu Ye originally wanted to sit alone and breathe out, but he felt that the opportunity was rare, so he couldn't help but listen attentively, without any distractions. Meng Qingqing also held up her oil again, covering the rain and fog in the sky, covering the two people's figures, and covering the whole night.
Yu Ye was extremely focused when studying the Kung Fu books. Under Meng Qingqing's careful guidance, his knowledge of formations has improved by leaps and bounds. Coupled with the fact that the "Tai Shang Spirit Talisman" and "Heavenly Forbidden Technique" he practiced were connected with the principles of the formation, before he knew it, he had begun to get a glimpse of the formation method.
However, deep in his consciousness, someone was sighing -
"You brat, you are so proud of yourself..."
