Early the next morning, while Yu Ye was still sitting in meditation, Meng Qingqing knocked on the door, urging him to leave.
The two left Gaoliang Town.
According to the map, it takes another three to five days to reach the seaside town of Huazhou. As for how to travel across the sea, we can only make plans when we get there.
In July, the weather is very hot. Even in the early morning, there were not many people on the road.
After walking for a moment, Meng Qingqing looked around for a moment. Now that he had jumped off the ground, he used the light body technique and walked away quickly.
Yu Ye was still wearing coarse cloth shorts and a bamboo hat on his head. He walked onto the dirt road and looked at the scenery far and near, feeling relaxed and comfortable. Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, they would have been pushed away dozens of feet away. He looked at Meng Qingqing's back and felt helpless, so he had to quicken his pace and catch up.
That woman has really changed.
When they went out together this morning, she was no longer dressed as she was yesterday. Instead, she changed into a moon-white long dress. Even the embroidered shoes under her feet were white. Coupled with her beautiful appearance and slender waist, she immediately made everyone People's eyes light up. However, her cold words and proud demeanor kept people away from her.
In other words, she hasn't changed, she just regained her true colors and returned to herself.
The two men chased each other in the mountains and fields.
Meng Qingqing didn't care about the surprise of passers-by, her petite figure was as fast as the wind. Yu Ye seemed unable to catch up, always lagging behind by dozens of feet...
at dusk.
Meng Qingqing finally stopped.
She stood on a deserted hill.
A figure hurried over, looking a little embarrassed.
A faint smile appeared on Meng Qingqing's face, but she turned around again, sat down cross-legged calmly, and closed her eyes calmly.
"call--"
Yu Ye jumped up the hill and took a long breath.
Meng Qingqing relied on her fourth level of Qi refining and her skillful body lightening skills to run such a long distance with ease. And he spent the night practicing the "Heavenly Forbidden Technique" and the Seven Kills Sword Qi in the wild last night, and also studied formations and escape techniques. In the morning, when he was about to breathe and rest for a while, he was rushed on his way. Now that he had been running for five or six hours at a stretch, he was really exhausted.
That woman was clearly embarrassing herself, and I didn't know what she wanted to do.
Yu Ye took a breath and looked up.
The jungle surrounding the hill is dark and there are no people around, but the hot wind is still blowing, making it difficult to cool down for a moment.
Yu Ye found a place to sit on the hill, two feet away from Meng Qingqing.
He turned over his hands and took out three small flags.
A palm-sized flag made of animal skin and animal bones, with runes and talisman formations engraved on it.
Yu Ye muttered something in his mouth and raised his hand to throw it away. The small flag suddenly flew out and disappeared in an instant. He pinched the magic formula again, but there was no movement.
"This formation is useless..."
While he was still muttering to himself, he suddenly saw Meng Qingqing wave her sleeves, and a semicircular layer of faint light suddenly appeared around them. Although it was only three feet in diameter, it enveloped the two of them, and the heat of the summer night was insulated from them.
At the same time, Meng Qingqing was heard saying: "It's not that the formation is useless, but that your method is wrong. Now it seems that you are not that smart!"
"Thanks for the advice!"
Yu Ye thanked him sincerely.
He then heard: "Don't mention it to your senior brother that I taught you the formation."
"this……
Yu Ye is not a Taoist disciple, but he understands the Taoist rules. It is not easy for Meng Qingqing to pass down the formations that she is good at. And now that the matter has come to this, why did she hide it from her senior brother?
"promise me!"
Meng Qingqing sat with her back to her, her words were unmistakable and revealed the willfulness and stubbornness of her daughter's family.
"Um!"
Yu Ye could only nodded.
Everything that happened during the days when he and Meng Qingqing traveled together became a secret between the two. He made a promise for this, which was to keep this secret from outsiders.
But she can't hide it from Jiao Ying, she knows everything!
Meng Qingqing stopped making any sound.
Yu Ye also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, took out a spiritual stone, then gathered his mind and breathed out...
Three days later.
On the reef, two figures stood.
In front of you are the rolling waves and the sound of the waves; in the distance, the sea and sky are high, and the sky and the earth are the same color.
Yu Ye hugged his arms and blew in the sea breeze. He couldn't help but close his eyes, and his mind was restless with the sound of the waves.
During the snowfall in winter, I was still blowing the fresh wind from the sea in the north of Daze. I was immersed in the coldness and desolation, feeling the loneliness and confusion of spiritual practice. At the end of summer, I had already crossed Daze, having traveled thousands of miles, and arrived in Daze. On the seaside in the south of Ze, when he once again faced the majestic sea and sky, the expectation and impulse to fly high became a little stronger.
Meng Qingqing clasped her hands behind her back and looked into the distance, with a slightly uneasy look in her twinkling eyes.
For Daze Taoist disciples, overseas is dangerous and unpredictable. Whether this is a blessing or a curse, we have no way of knowing.
A few dozen miles west along the seaside, there is a coastal town.
Huazhou Ancient Town.
The ancient town is quite old. According to historical records, Huazhou is also known as Shilong Ancient Town. Because the ancient stone Longgang where the town is located looks like a giant dragon with a head and a tail. Longgang is connected to the Haihe River. The dragon's head has a stone orifice that leads to the bottom of the water. When the breath is stirred, it roars, and the sound is like a dragon's roar. It is also steaming with the mist, just like a stone dragon transforming into a spirit. Therefore, the town has the reputation of the Dragon Transformation State.
Yu Ye and Meng Qingqing were walking on the streets of the ancient town.
The shops on both sides of the street sell seafood, dry goods and local specialties that you have never seen before, and the pedestrians who come and go are constantly coming and going with different clothes and looks. The scenery of the town is different from that of Dazebei, but it is a peaceful and peaceful scene.
Meng Qingqing went straight to the inn.
Yu Ye held a few fruits in his arms and followed after eating them.
Nanze Inn.
There were several inns in the town, but Meng Qingqing seemed to have a special liking for it and went straight to this Nanze Inn.
Not only that, the contact with the shopkeeper and the arrangement of accommodation were all handled by Meng Qingqing. I enjoyed my leisure time in the wild, eating fruits, wandering around, and found my guest room.
The inn faces the street and is a wine shop with a large courtyard. The guest rooms at the back are two-story wooden buildings with a simple shape and mottled paint. They look a bit old. Even the stairs creak when you step on them. The guest rooms upstairs are spacious and bright. They open the windows and overlook the town. Facing the sea, the scenery is very beautiful.
The hill where the town is located is really impressive like a giant dragon lying across the bay.
There is a pier in the bay with a row of wooden boats parked. Can those fishing boats that are only two or three feet in size go out to sea for long distances?
Let’s take a break and start thinking again.
Yu Ye closed the door and took off his bamboo hat. Seeing that there were pitchers and basins in the room, he washed his face, kicked off his boots, walked to the bamboo couch and sat down.
His toes and arms were covered in dirt, and his body was also covered with a layer of dust. If he were thrown into a crowd, he would be no different than a trafficker.
Yu Ye took out three small flags, but before throwing them out, he thought about it and put them away again.
If a fellow monk passes by this, he will be able to detect the existence of the formation with just a sweep of his spiritual consciousness. It can be seen that although the formation flag is easy to use, it can also easily reveal the whereabouts.
Yu Ye took out the spirit stone and was about to spit it out, but then he raised his eyebrows thoughtfully.
His consciousness can reach a distance of thirty feet. Even though there is a wall blocking it, he can still clearly see the situation in the courtyard.
A woman in white walked out of the inn alone...
Dusk.
Yu Ye woke up from his meditation, already full of energy.
Ordinary people cannot live without two meals a day, while those who practice Taoism cannot live without spiritual energy.
Yu Ye walked out of the guest room, reached out and picked up the bamboo hat and put it on his head.
On the second floor of the wooden building, he, Meng Qingqing, and several vendors lived. There are more than ten guest rooms, most of which are vacant. And Meng Qingqing has been out for two or three hours and has not returned yet.
The woman became mysterious.
Yu Ye came to the restaurant, ordered some seafood, tasted it for a while, then paid and left.
When we walked out of the inn, night had fallen. The streets and alleys are brightly lit. Fish lanterns were also hung in the bay below the hill.
Yu Ye walked down the street.
A moment later, the bay was in sight.
Listening to the sound of waves in the distance, watching the flashing fishing fires in front of you, the sparkling river surface, and the cool sea breeze blowing make you feel relaxed.
The place where the fishing boats are docked is the pier, which is made of large stones stacked near the water, with old fishing boats, fishing nets and other items placed on it.
Yu Ye walked onto the dock.
I happened to see someone lighting a fire and cooking on the bow of a fishing boat.
"Uncle!"
Yu Ye said hello.
The cook, a middle-aged man, smiled and said, "Brother, what advice do you have?"
"Is uncle's fishing boat going to sea?"
"Haha, if the fishing boats don't go out to sea, how can we fish?"
"Oh, are you going to Qizhou?"
"Qizhou? I'm joking. Qizhou is thousands of miles away, with long sea routes and high winds and rough waves. How can a small fishing boat withstand the tossing of strong winds and waves?"
"Uncle knows Qizhou?"
"I've heard of it, but I've never been there."
"Never been?"
"You might as well ask, ask, who in this fishing port has been to Qizhou?"
"oh……"
Yu Ye was greatly disappointed, cupped his hands, and walked around blankly on the pier.
I remember Mo Can personally said that he took a boat out to sea at the dock in Huazhou Town. The pier is right in front of us, but no one has been to Qizhou. As you can see, a small fishing boat cannot withstand strong winds and waves, so it can't be said that it can travel far across the sea.
Alas, after all the troubles along the way, we finally arrived at the seaside. I thought I was about to cross the sea, but I had no clue.
Yu Ye only felt that his eyes were dark, and he had no intention of admiring the night view of the bay. Instead, he lowered his head, put his hands behind his back, and walked silently along the way he came.
Let's go to the inn and ask someone.
If there were no ships traveling between Qizhou and Daze, where would those monks from Qizhou come from? An expert in foundation building may be able to fly into the sky with a sword, but a Qi Refining monk does not have the ability to fly across the vast sea.
"Yu Ye——"
Yu Ye Shangzi was depressed, and a figure in white blocked his way.
Meng Qingqing?
After not seeing anyone for a long time, he suddenly appeared, with a smile on his face and a soft voice instead of being cold as before.
"I've been looking for you everywhere, but I can't find you. What are you doing here?"
"Look for a boat to go to sea!"
Yu Ye answered truthfully.
But I heard someone laugh and say: "Haha, this fishing port is full of ordinary people. Coming here to find a boat to go out to sea is like asking a blind question, asking for fish based on a tree!"
Yu Ye followed the sound and looked.
Twenty or thirty feet away, on the stone stairs leading to the hill, there were two familiar figures standing. It doesn’t matter if Yu Xin is the one, the key is another person who speaks out.
Yu Ye suddenly felt that his eyes were getting dark again.
"Brother Yu, we are destined to meet each other thousands of miles away. Taofeng is so polite here..."
