Yu Ye returned to Nanze Inn and his guest room.
In the guest room, not only were the oil lamps lit, but there were also several neighbors. The reason why we are called neighbors refers to the guests who live next door.
These guests are not only not strangers, but also very familiar. They are Taofeng from Xiyun Mountain, Luo Chen and He Qingnian from Zixia Mountain, and An Yunsheng from Chiwu Peak.
Among them, Taofeng is the elder, has reached the fifth level of Qi refining, is more advanced in cultivation, and has a bold temperament. Everyone present obviously looks up to him; He Qingnian, who is two years younger than Taofeng, has a much more delicate appearance, and is still dressed in a uniform. In a moon-white gown; An Yunsheng, less than thirty years old, with a calm demeanor and good manners; Luo Chen and Yu Xin are similar in age and equally handsome. Coupled with Yu Xin and Meng Qingqing, the scene outside Qingye Town reappears, but time has passed, from the original grove to the Nanze Inn in the coastal town.
The so-called destiny to come thousands of miles to meet seems to smack of conspiracy.
Yu Xin left Nanqi Town first to contact several of his friends and made an appointment with Meng Qingqing to meet at the Nanze Inn. Only he was kept in the dark.
At this moment, he was standing in front of the window, his head lowered and his face bitter. The fellow Taoists who met again were either sitting on stools or sitting on bamboo couches. They were all neatly dressed and in good spirits. Only he was rustic and out of tune with everyone, as if this was not his guest room but that he had gone to the wrong place.
"Brother Yu, you secretly helped each other in Beiqi Mountain, and later rescued Yu Xin and Meng Qingqing. I dare not forget this friendship. Therefore, several fellow Taoists agreed to invite you to go overseas together. Your kindness shows your sincerity. ah……"
Taofeng sat on the bamboo couch and talked.
It was learned from his mouth that among the thirty-two Taoist disciples he summoned, only more than ten survived the battle in Beiqi Mountain. Now that the Qizhou monks were taking revenge, he and several friends had nowhere to live, so they unanimously decided to go overseas. Now I happened to meet Yu Ye, so I invited him to go with me. This was not only a show of care for him, but also a sign of sympathy from my colleagues.
All in all, Yu Ye met a noble person.
"You were looking for a boat to cross the sea, but didn't you find anything?"
Hearing what Taofeng said, Yu Ye raised his head.
Isn’t this asking questions knowingly? Could it be that these Taoist disciples have found a way to go to sea?
In the guest room, an oil lamp is lit.
Under the dim light, everyone had different expressions. Yu Xin and Meng Qingqing, one has a smile on his face and the other has twinkling eyes; An Yunsheng, He Qingnian and Luo Chen all have reserved expressions; Taofeng has a short beard and a somewhat mysterious smile.
Yu Ye couldn't bear it and said, "If Brother Tao finds a ferry to go to sea, you might as well tell him."
"hehe!"
Taofeng smiled slightly and said: "Several Taoist friends and I are informal people. We may have been rude before, and even if we wanted to make friends, we were rejected by our brothers. It is rare that we have the chance to meet again today. We are so enthusiastic It’s still the same as before, but I can’t help but feel anxious, lest I be disrespectful to my brothers!”
Yu Ye crossed his arms and frowned.
Although he is not good at words, he has been out and about for a long time, met more people, and gradually became familiar with various ways of talking. What Taofeng meant was that Yu Ye was narrow-minded and could not easily inform him even if he found the ferry. The so-called friendship is just a kind of complaint. At this time, the situation has changed, and there is no need to ask him to join forces to deal with the powerful enemy. On the contrary, he should take the initiative to show his kindness in order to win the trust of others.
Yu Ye was silent for a moment and said calmly: "If Brother Tao has any concerns, just don't say anything!"
Taofeng waved his hand and said magnanimously: "Brothers are young and shouldn't judge others by themselves. To be honest, we have found a ferry, but the ferry is expensive. Each person is charged a thousand gold."
Yu Ye nodded and said: "I have no money!"
He used to be very rich, but he stayed in Yujiacun. Although he gained many things later, he spent generously, and now he has very little gold and silver left. Not to mention a thousand gold, even ten gold cannot be obtained.
"hehe!"
Taofeng smiled as expected and said: "Brother Yu, don't worry, we are already raising the ship's funds, and your share is indispensable. Then you can just take the ship and go to sea!"
"No!"
Yu Ye shook his head and refused, saying: "It's not easy for you to raise money, so I'll find another way!"
Taofeng said unexpectedly: "Brother Yu, why is this necessary..."
"Thank you Brother Tao and everyone for your kindness!"
Yu Ye seemed quite stubborn and asked, "I don't know where the ship is. Can you tell me the details?"
Taofeng exchanged glances with everyone and said: "Ten miles west of Longgang, there is another sea crossing pier. The sea-going ship is owned by the Chen family and has agreed with us to set sail in three days. How will you raise the funds within three days? Thousands of gold?”
Yu Ye cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Brother Tao. I will remember this favor. I won't worry about what will happen when the time comes!"
"Brother Yu, Tao really doesn't understand, alas..."
Taofeng hesitated, sighed, stood up and left. Yu Xin, Luo Chen, An Yunsheng, and He Qingnian also looked helpless, and each raised their hands to say goodbye. Each had a look of helplessness. Only Meng Qingqing was one step behind, staring at Yu Ye quietly, and said through a message——
"Why are you so inhumane?"
Yu Ye turned to look at the night outside the window and said softly: "If I am unkind, how many fellow Taoists can leave Beiqi Mountain alive?"
"Yu Ye, don't be so self-righteous."
Meng Qingqing cast a resentful look, turned around and walked out.
Yu Ye leaned in front of the window, silently blowing the sea breeze.
This time when he reunited with Taofeng and others, the other party showed sincerity, but he was indifferent to thanking him and still treated them indifferently.
Is it because he is self-righteous, or is Taofeng and others too smart?
However, there is another dock in Huazhou Town, which is unexpected.
Thousands of dollars in shipping capital?
If you can’t take the boat without money, you can’t give up your trip to Qizhou. As for the result, let's find out more clearly before we can make any calculations.
Yu Ye closed the window and waved his sleeves.
In an instant, the oil lamp went out with a bang, the door closed with a bang, and the door bolt locked with a bang.
Yu Ye grinned and shook his head secretly.
The movement is a bit loud, and the force cannot be sent and received freely enough.
He walked to the bamboo couch and sat down, took out the spiritual stone, closed his eyes...
The next morning.
Yu Ye got up early.
Several guest rooms on the left and right were actually covered with a layer of magic power. It is easy to see that defensive formations have been set up in the residences of Taofeng, Yu Xin, Meng Qingqing and others.
Walk out of the inn and follow the street to the west.
The streets of the town are paved with gravel, but they are smooth. Walking along it, up or down, across houses, or across flowing water shaded by old trees, it is quite interesting to find tranquility through winding paths.
After a while, the terrain gradually became higher and the houses became sparse. The raised stone hills in front looked like a dragon with its head held high, giving it an impressive atmosphere. There is also a rutted path that goes around the stone hills and gradually hears the faint sound of waves, like a giant dragon breathing. When we got closer, we looked back and saw a snow-white waterfall flowing out of the stone hillock. The mist was steaming and surrounded by rainbow light. It looked like a giant dragon spitting water, making it a spectacular sight...
Past Longgang, the mountain road winds around.
A few miles away is a valley. Surrounded by mountains, there is another bay.
Yu Ye walked forward quickly.
As the sun rises, his figure gradually lengthens under the morning light, and then disappears into the dense forest, while the sound of waves gets closer and closer.
After a moment, the vision suddenly became clear.
The valley is only a few miles in diameter, half of it is mountains and dense forests, and the other half is a bay. In the bay, there is a pier with several small boats and a large boat parked there.
Yu Ye walked through the trees and walked straight to the dock.
The big ship is more than ten feet long and two to three feet high. It is completely black and has mottled paint. There is a ship building at the stern, and the bow is raised high. Three masts are erected in the middle, and thick sails are piled up. On and off the boat, there were several strong men carrying goods.
"Idle people stop——"
Just as Yu Ye was about to take a closer look, someone shouted.
Two shirtless men came over, both strong and fierce-looking.
Yu Ye had no choice but to stop, cupped his hands and said, "Brothers, is this the ship heading to Qizhou?"
The two men looked sideways and looked suspicious——
"So what?"
"Oh, can I take a boat out to sea for your convenience?"
"you……?"
Looking at Yu Ye's dress, the two men looked at each other and shook their heads, waving their hands and saying——
"Go ahead, I don't have time to joke with you!"
"Two eldest brothers, I'm not joking. I dare to ask when the journey will take place, how much the ship will cost, and whether it will be worth a fortune..."
"It's okay to tell you. I'll set off in two days. However, even if you spend a thousand gold, it will be in vain without the approval of the young village master!"
"Young Master? Who's your name? How can I find him?"
"You don't even know the name of the young master of the village. How dare you make noise here? Go quickly -"
The two men lost their patience and waved their hands away.
Yu Ye couldn't argue, so he had to retreat, but he stared at the ship closely, his eyes shining brightly.
Now that he has found the ship and set sail, as long as he insists on taking the ship to sea, no one can stop him. And I remember Taofeng said that the sea ship is owned by the Chen family.
Not far from the pier, under the shade of trees, is a farmyard.
Is that where the Chen family is?
Yu Ye was about to walk over when suddenly a wisp of spiritual consciousness came across. He stretched out his hand to lower his bamboo hat and stopped in disbelief.
His spiritual consciousness is quite powerful, which shows that the opponent's cultivation level is also far better than his. And such powerful spiritual consciousness actually came from the manor a hundred feet away.
Chen family, hiding monks?
If so, it would be really troublesome!
Just imagine, if the Chen family has a monk with a high level of cultivation, but he can't pay for the ship this time, and he can't get the owner's approval, he really can't even think of taking this ship!
Yu Ye didn't dare to be careless and walked back the way he came.
Half an hour later, we returned to Huazhou Town.
Yu Ye did not return to the inn, but strolled on the street.
He was eager to find out the details of the Chen family, but he didn't dare to be reckless; he wanted to raise shipping funds, but he was at his wits' end. Do we really want to bow to Taofeng and others?
The streets were bustling with pedestrians and hawkers, making it very lively.
Take a leisurely walk in the wild and look around. Just when he was bored, his expression changed slightly.
There is a shop ahead.
There was a flag hanging in front of the shop door, and there were four big words written on it, "Baicao Inn..."
