Not only was his uncle beside him, but the master and the head master were also resting on the second floor. Xiao Jiulang was not an inexperienced young man. On the contrary, it is because of his early experiences that he has a more mature mind than many people. Facing Ma Yun's invitation, I naturally vaguely guessed what he meant, but I didn't dare to make the decision privately and agreed.
So he politely bowed his hands to Ma Yun and saluted: "Steward Ma is too polite. The elders of the master's sect are all practitioners and usually prefer to be quiet, but a certain family dare not respond privately. I hope Steward Ma can forgive me!"
A trace of imperceptible embarrassment flashed across Ma Yun's face. Indeed, he was extremely shocked when he heard Xiao Jiulang talking to the Kunlun Immortal. Although he had no interaction or contact with the disciples of the Xiaoyao Sect, he had admired the name of the Xiaoyao Sect for a long time in Jinling City.
Not to mention that the Xiaoyao sect is a first-class practitioner of immortals. In the eyes of ordinary people, they are immortals. Just talking about the huge reputation in Jinling City now, the head Donghai Fairy lives in the palace and is respected by Emperor Li Jing in every possible way. This is what many dignitaries are trying to please.
There is also Yan Yuxian, the current eldest sister of Xiaoyao Sect. It is said that she is known as Hanyu Fairy in the world and among the people, and she has been in charge of Xiaoyao Palace in Jinling City all year round. Ordinary people are not allowed to see him even once, and he is a frequent visitor to the mansions of princes, generals and prime ministers.
Ma Yun is a well-rounded person. After finally meeting a disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect, it is inevitable that he will feel happy in his heart, and he will naturally have some feelings of friendship. If Xiao Jiulang could treat him well, he would surely skyrocket in Daoguang Trading Company in the future.
Although I was a little disappointed when I saw Xiao Jiulang trying to shirk, I felt a little lucky when I heard that Xiao Jiulang didn't finish his words. His face remained unchanged and he continued: "Being lucky enough to travel with several immortals is already a blessing accumulated by Ma's ancestors over the past several generations! How can I dare to expect to be favored by the immortals!" He glanced extremely shrewdly at the people who were there. Su Hou, who had his eyes closed and said nothing, smiled politely at Xiao Jiulang.
I had just witnessed the immortal skills of the Kunlun Immortal, but I was actually frightened away by the reputation of the Xiaoyao Sect. Ma Yun, who has been in the world for a long time, is not a fool, and he would not expect Suhou to look at him seriously. What's more, he saw two women walking with Xiao Jiulang. Although he didn't know their identities, he also knew that most of the Xiaoyao sect were female cultivators.
He didn't even think that Su Hou was a master of Xiaoyao Sect, but he believed that Feng Biwei and Geng Xiansheng in the cabin on the second floor were fairies. Xiao Jiulang may not have thought that Ma Yun would make such speculation by mistake.
Naturally, Ma Yun didn't know that he had guessed correctly, but seeing Xiao Jiulang's thoughtful expression, he immediately added: "It is Ma's greatest honor to be close to Young Master Xiao. I only hope that Young Master can reward him. After all, Ma's boss is Xiao." This is the master’s family!”
Before Xiao Jiulang could answer, the soft voice of his master Feng Biwei could be heard in his ears: "Jiulang, this person has been in shopping malls for a long time, and he is a smooth man who can handle everything with ease. Daoguang Trading Company has some influence in Jinling City. . We don’t like to be disturbed when we return to Jinling on this trip, and we still need his permission along the way. You go and deal with him. After forming a good relationship, it will be helpful for you to walk in Jinling City. Your uncle Su, don’t pay attention to him. Just don’t let anyone bother us!”
Although Su Hou was half asleep, Xiao Jiulang seemed to feel something as he stood respectfully listening to Feng Biwei's transmission. His cultivation was beyond common sense, but Feng Biwei's transmission was so targeted that he naturally couldn't hear anything. She vaguely guessed that Feng Biwei was interfering, and she knew Feng Biwei's temper. She couldn't help but show a look of helplessness on her face. She really closed her eyes tightly, sat down on the wooden bench and leaned against the side of the ship, like a Ordinary people usually snore lightly.
Although Xiao Jiulang received the instructions from his master, he did not respond immediately to Ma Yun. Firstly, I didn’t have the ability to transmit sounds, so I didn’t know how to respond to the master, so I had to wait for the master to see if there was anything more to say. Secondly, I also thought that if I agreed to Ma Yun immediately, it would easily make Ma Yun have other ideas, so I stood there and waited for a while. hour.
Ma Yun felt a little uneasy. Although he had read countless people, his understanding of this kind of spiritual practice could not be compared with that of secular people. Although Xiao Jiulang looked very young, he thought about all the disciples in Xiaoyao Palace who were not young women or teenagers. His thinking and calculation saved Xiao Jiulang a lot of trouble.
Xiao Jiulang waited for a long time and saw that the master had no intention of transmitting any more messages, so he looked at Ma Yun. Seeing Ma Yun looking at him eagerly with a kind look on his face, he couldn't help but be surprised at Ma Yun's determination, so he said lightly: "Since Manager Ma is so kind, it's not easy for a certain family to refuse! But if you need something, Remember, these elders of a certain family are people who don’t like to be disturbed. Manager Ma needs to give instructions and don’t let these elders of a certain family be disturbed!"
"Master Xiao, please don't worry!" Ma Yun was a little happy and made a gesture of invitation to Xiao Jiulang.
Since the master had given instructions, Xiao Jiulang did not refuse. Looking at Su Hou who seemed to be sleeping soundly, Xiao Jiulang knew better than to disturb him. When passing by the Yin family, he saw Wu Xuan and Chen Xuan looking at him, so he nodded slightly in good faith.
But what surprised Xiao Jiulang was that Mrs. Yan, who was standing next to Mrs. Yin, kept looking at him. When he looked at her, he actually lowered his head slightly. Xiao Jiulang didn't pay attention to the behavior of this beautiful woman. After all, he had just helped the Yin family. The reason why he paid attention to Yan's demeanor was because Yan was somewhat beautiful.
Naturally, Xiao Jiulang would not have any delusional thoughts, but liking beauty may be a common problem among men. Moreover, Xiao Jiulang was a young man. Although he had not really had contact with women, he followed Shi Gandang to serve him, and he had seen Shi Gandang looking for women. I usually miss that beautiful woman a little bit, and I vaguely felt that this beautiful woman Yan looked like someone, but I couldn't remember it for a while. Under Ma Yun's guidance, I entered the main cabin living room in the cabin.
This Ma Yun never mentioned anything about the Xiaoyao Sect, and ordered some side dishes to be served, and he and Xiao Jiulang chatted and got closer while eating and drinking. Xiao Jiulang knew what he was thinking and didn't point out these key points. However, after a few drinks, the two of them became much closer.
Xiao Jiulang himself had just begun to understand Xiaoyao Sect, so he naturally had nothing to say, not to mention that the master had explained some more, and it was impossible to talk to Ma Yun, so he listened to Ma Yun again and again about interesting things about his business world.
Ma Yun is also an interesting person. He started doing business with his uncle in the Xiao family when he was more than ten years old. Over the years, he has traveled to many places in the Central Plains. How can his vision be comparable to that of ordinary people? In addition, what he said was vivid and interesting, which attracted Xiao Jiulang from time to time. After adding a few words, the two soon became brothers.
Because he heard that Xiao Jiulang's ancestral home was the Xiao family in Lanling, Wujin, Ma Yun even called it a strange coincidence. It turned out that his employer Xiao Zhen's ancestral home was also a prominent Lanling family in Wujin. There was no need for Xiao Jiulang to deceive Ma Yun, because his great ancestor was born in Lanling, and only moved to Fujian in the first year of Zhonghe, Emperor Xizong of the previous dynasty, and took up the post of local governor. It was in the hands of Xiao Jiulang's grandfather that he gradually The decline went down.
Ma Yun enthusiastically ordered to go down and have a cabin for two people prepared for Su Hou and Xiao Jiulang in the cabin on the first floor. Xiao Jiulang accepted it with some kindness. No matter what happened at this moment, the intimacy between the two people had reached the extreme.
The meal lasted all the way to Shizhong Mountain at the mouth of Poyang Lake. Although it was not too late, we were about to enter the Yangtze River. If the ships were not repaired here, they would have to sail the Yangtze River at night. As a merchant ship belonging to a large commercial bank, it would naturally not take this risk unless it was an urgent matter, so Ma Yun ordered the ship to stop and anchor at the shore for repairs.
Although it is said to be close to the shore, it is actually still some distance away from the real shore. This is also the rule for tourists staying in a different place. Firstly, it is for the safety of people and cargo on the ship, and secondly, it is to avoid unnecessary trouble in different places.
Xiao Jiulang thanked Ma Yun and went out to find Su Hou and go into the cabin to rest together. Seeing Su Hou leaning against the cabin and admiring the scenery of Shizhong Mountain, Xiao Jiulang went over to talk to Su Hou about Ma Yun's kindness. Su Hou did not pay attention to these details and praised Xiao Jiulang's communication. At the same time, he also did not forget to make fun of Xiao Jiulang's dinner and dinner.
However, no one from the Yin family, Wu Xuan, and Chen Xuan were seen. Su Hou seemed to see Xiao Jiulang's expression, and told Xiao Jiulang that those people had gone into the cabin. Although Xiao Jiulang was not overly concerned, he still asked about Mrs. Yin's condition, but Su Hou gently shook his head.
Looking at Su Hou's expression, Xiao Jiulang guessed that Mrs. Yin was not in good condition, so he didn't say anything. Together with Su Hou, we came to the cabin prepared by Ma Yun. Su Hou was very satisfied when he saw the cabin, especially there was a pot of rice wine and three dishes of side dishes on the small table in the cabin. Even Su Hou, who didn't care, couldn't help but praise Ma Yun.
Xiao Jiulang was surprised to find that although his uncle drank, it took him a long time to take a sip. It was the wine prepared by Ma Yun, and he drank it in one gulp. Xiao Jiulang saw that Su Hou was not difficult to deal with, so he smiled and asked Su Hou the reason.
Su Hou rolled his eyes at Xiao Jiulang and said in a low voice: "When we first met, did you feel that your uncle was not interesting enough? Didn't you give you a meeting gift?"
Xiao Jiulang immediately shook his head like a rattle. Even if he had this idea in his heart, he would not dare to say it. Besides, judging from Su Hou's demeanor, he was not such a person. I accepted the piece of jade from the master. Judging from the master's demeanor, it must be worth a lot of money. Although his uncle Su Hou didn't give him a gift, it was normal.
Unexpectedly, Su Hou arrogantly took out the old gourd in the baggage again, shook it at Xiao Jiulang and said: "The wine in this gourd was prepared ten years ago. I only drink it once a day, and only take a small sip at a time. I filled it up when only half of it was left. Now, the large jar of wine we had together back then is already the last of it." He looked a little sad.
Xiao Jiulang was stunned for a moment and looked at Su Hou with some embarrassment. He had taken several sips of this jug of wine. No wonder Su Hou snatched it away and let him drink from the other wine gourd. It must be a good old wine!
"This is not just any good wine, but a medicated wine brewed with over a thousand years of natural materials and treasures, specially used to restore vitality and improve the meridians. Not to mention that one mouthful is worth a thousand gold, it is enough to be worth half a year of cultivation for ordinary people. The effect! Tell me if it is a treasure!" Su Hou seemed to have remembered something, and looked quietly out of the cabin window, with a hint of evocative reminiscence in his tone.
Xiao Jiulang is not a fool. Although he has never cultivated advanced Qi, he has opened up the foundation of cultivation because of chance. Hearing that he had received such a great benefit, he was grateful to Su Hou but felt a little embarrassed, but he drank several sips without knowing what was going on.
Su Hou seemed to notice Xiao Jiulang's uneasiness and signaled Xiao Jiulang not to worry about it. He said that Xiao Jiulang was more to his liking, otherwise he would not have let him take a few sips. Xiao Jiulang quickly thanked Su Hou for his attention, but Su Hou told him with a smile that if he didn't drink, he would give him a greeting gift when he arrived in Jinling, but now there is no more.
Xiao Jiulang didn't care either, but he had a tacit understanding with Su Hou. The two people were chatting here when they heard a voice coming from outside the cabin. Su Hou motioned to Xiao Jiulang to open the window and take a look. After Xiao Jiulang pushed away, he saw Ma Yun standing outside, talking to someone in a small boat in the water.
The sky gradually darkened, and Xiao Jiulang couldn't see clearly the people in the boat, but he heard the sound of Ma Yun chatting with the man. It seemed that he was not alone, asking if the boat was going to Jinling. Xiao Jiulang was worried about his master. He faintly heard what the man said about Zhengfa Sect, and couldn't help but look at Su Hou who was already sitting on the wooden bed.
Su Hou did not speak, but still sent a message to Xiao Jiulang not to be nervous. They were two disciples of the Zhengfa Sect who wanted to take a merchant ship to Jinling City. It seemed that Su Hou didn't take the other party seriously, so Xiao Jiulang remained silent.
After a while, the lights on the shore came on one after another, and Xiao Jiulang walked out. Ma Yun was still standing on the deck outside. He was a little happy to see Xiao Jiulang coming out. He pointed to the shore and told Xiao Jiulang that this is the town of Shizhongshan, and across the lake is the Yangtze River Estuary, and the mountain opposite is the famous Lushan Mountain.
Of course Xiao Jiulang couldn't see the stretching mountains clearly, but when he saw the brilliant lights on the shore, he felt a little more at ease. Because not only were the lights there brightly lit, but the sound of silk and bamboo could also be heard faintly, making it a peaceful scene.
But is the world peaceful?
Xiao Jiulang asked casually if anyone was coming just now. Ma Yun was extremely friendly to Xiao Jiulang, and told Xiao Jiulang with some pride that it turned out that two Taoists from the Zhengfa Sect knew one of his merchants here and wanted to take his merchant ship to Jinling City together. Xiao Jiulang naturally wouldn't say anything, and was thinking about whether to talk to his master.
But thinking that my uncle Su Hou could hear it, not to mention the master's cultivation level, I gave up the idea. Because I chatted with Ma Yun about this Dharma sect, I learned that although the other party also had roots in Jinling City, his ancestral court was on Lushan Mountain. Naturally, Xiao Jiulang would not tell Ma Yun that he did not know, and vaguely listened to Ma Yun say that he knew someone from the Zhengfa sect.
Xiao Jiulang soon saw the small boat carrying people faintly from the shore. It was obvious that someone was coming here, so he handed over his hand to Ma Yun and told Ma Yun that he would go to the warehouse first. Ma Yun and Xiao Jiulang said a few polite words, and asked Xiao Jiulang to rest early, saying that they would set sail early every morning.
When they entered the cabin, they saw Su Hou sitting cross-legged on the wooden bed practicing. Although he worshiped Feng Biwei as his teacher, because he wanted to avoid Shen Yanran, his body had not fully recovered, and he had alien essence and blood to participate in the performance, Feng Biwei Wei didn't have time to teach Xiao Jiulang yet. However, he casually taught Xiao Jiulang the introductory mental method of Xiaoyao Sect. Xiao Jiulang was looking forward to practicing. When he saw Su Hou practicing, he also sat down on another wooden bed and recited the introductory mental method silently.
The two people from the Zhengfa sect boarded the boat and had no impact on Xiao Jiulang. However, Xiao Jiulang sat there and slept in a daze until midnight, when he was suddenly awakened by a soft cry. Only then did he realize that he had fallen asleep like that. He looked up and used the row of lanterns hanging outside the cabin to see a ray of light coming in, and he saw Su Hou sitting on the bed looking at him.
Xiao Jiulang was almost startled. Su Hou glared at Xiao Jiulang. Xiao Jiulang was a little embarrassed and expressed his doubts about the origin of the cry. He faintly heard a woman's voice. He couldn't help but look at Su Hou in confusion. Seeing Xiao Jiulang's curious look, Su Hou sighed slightly and sent a message to Xiao Jiulang that it was Mrs. Yin who was dying.
Suddenly, for some unknown reason, Xiao Jiulang's mind flashed with Yan's sad eyes, and he couldn't help but feel warm. He couldn't help but ask Su Hou in a low voice: "Is there any way to save that old lady? God has a good heart. , shouldn’t Taoist disciples care about the common people?”
Su Hou was speechless when asked by Xiao Jiulang. This time he accompanied Geng Xiansheng to support Feng Biwei. It sounded nice to welcome Feng Biwei, but in fact he was worried about Shen Yanran. For this reason, he knew that senior sister Feng Biwei didn't say anything, but actually she didn't want to see him.
Although he didn't know the extent of the senior sister's injuries, at least he couldn't help but let Shen Yanran drive the senior sister to death. Although the current situation has not reached that point, the senior sister obviously does not want to expose her whereabouts. The disciple she accepted was quite good, he was a nosy master, and Su Hou suddenly felt a little headache.
Seeing Xiao Jiulang's curious look, Su Hou felt helpless and continued to use voice transmission to tell Xiao Jiulang that Mrs. Yin was counterattacked by the Kunlun Immortal's true energy, and all the organs in her body were displaced. The most important thing is that her lungs are inherently diseased, and her Qi meridians are extremely fragile due to her old age. Now that she is exhausted, it is difficult to treat her. What's more, although the Kunlun Immortal has temporarily let go of the Yin family, he is actually still on the shore of Shizhong Mountain.
Xiao Jiulang, however, refused to give up and continued to look at Su Hou eagerly. Seeing the helpless look on Su Hou's face, Xiao Jiulang vaguely guessed that there was something going on, so he boldly said: "Although I don't know about the grudges and grudges between their families, she is old after all. If my uncle has a way to let her If you delay for a few more days, even if you return to Jinling to return to your roots, the Yin family will definitely be grateful to the Xiaoyao Sect!"
Su Hou almost wanted to give Xiao Jiulang a kick. Although he didn't know what this kid was thinking, considering that it was the first time for Xiao Jiulang to see these people, otherwise most people would misunderstand that he was related to the Yin family.
Although Su Hou had never been worried about the Kunlun Immortal, and he did not even take the Venerable Gu Jialong Zhu he was talking about to heart, but now it is not necessary to consider the feelings of the senior sister Feng Biwei and the head Geng Xiansheng. Su Hou rolled his eyes at him and sent a message to Xiao Jiulang to ask his senior sister Feng Biwei.
Xiao Jiulang was stunned. He was not afraid of being scolded by his master, but he was thinking that at midnight, both the master and the master were women, and they were two beautiful women. After all, he was a man, so he didn't want to be punished. ?
After hearing his words, I was still struggling in my heart, but I was surprised to find that my uncle, Su Hou, had a wry smile on his face and seemed to be listening to something. Although Xiao Jiulang didn't understand the unique skill of sound transmission, after he got the feeling of hearing it, he vaguely guessed what it was and couldn't help but sit there and wait without disturbing him.
Sure enough, what surprised Xiao Jiulang was that it was his master Feng Biwei who had just sent a message to his uncle Su Hou, to the effect that Xiao Jiulang should go to the Yin family to have a look. Su Hou knew what his senior sister was doing. Although he didn't know what her intention was in helping the Yin family, he didn't dare to hide the fact that Xiao Jiulang had sent him a message.
Then Su Hou took out his treasure gourd, poured out some of the medicinal wine that he said was a natural treasure, and put it in the small wine bottle that Ma Yun had prepared for himself. He had already drank the little wine in the bottle. Empty. Then he took out a small bottle from his arms, poured out a fragrant cherry-sized red pill, and handed it to Xiao Jiulang.
"Needless to say, this wine is the best tonic to protect the body and nourish the body and restore vitality. If she is so lucky, you don't have to explain to them. If she wastes it, you will drink it. However, this Nine-turn Zhudan, It is our world-famous holy medicine for healing. Your master wants to accumulate merit for you, so you take it and give it to Mrs. Yin, as if she is destined to our sect."
Seeing that Xiao Jiulang was still looking at him, he had no choice but to continue: "Don't worry, if she takes it, no matter what condition she will be in, there will be absolutely no problem returning to Jinling City. After all, the person next to her is named Chen Xuan This young boy has met his father a few times in the past, and his fate is not in vain!"
Not to mention Su Hou's depressed look, Xiao Jiulang didn't know how valuable these two items were, but Su Hou himself knew it better than anyone else. The medicinal wine was prepared by asking an old friend to search for rare medicines from all over the world. Many of those heavenly materials and earthly treasures are hard to find for thousands of years, so you can imagine how rare they are.
Because I suffered a hidden injury back then, I could only suppress it with healing drugs. I finally found a prescription and mixed it with these precious drugs. In the end, it only turned into a small jar, no more than ten kilograms at best. After years of practice and drinking this medicinal wine every day, although the injuries have gradually disappeared, the preparation of this kind of wine is no longer possible.
As for the Nine-turn Zhu Dan, although it is not as good as the Zen sect's Xiao Huan Dan and the Dao sect's Nine-turn Divine Pill, it is said that it was also a holy product that the elders in the sect copied from the Nine-turn Divine Pill. It is really one of the best healing medicines in the world today. Usually, many dignitaries, princes and generals would like to ask for a miracle medicine that cannot be obtained. The most important thing is that only the elders of Xiaoyao Sect can possess them, and each person only has five.
Xiao Jiulang didn't know the value of these two things, but he was overjoyed when he heard Su Hou's message. Of course, he didn't know that Mrs. Yin had picked up a treasure. In Su Hou's heart, he felt that it would be a waste if Mrs. Yin ate it, so he took those two things and went to where the Yin family lived.
The Yin family, Wu Xuan, and Chen Xuan all lived in the back of the boat on the first floor, and lived in two cabins opposite each other. When they started chatting with Ma Yun, they heard Ma Yun mention this matter. Xiao Jiulang was light and quick as he traveled along, relying on the lights hanging on both sides of the boat, he soon reached the back cabin and heard the soft sobs more clearly.
When I got closer, I actually saw Ma Yun, Wu Xuan, and Chen Xuan standing in the aisle next to the cabin. Wu Xuan and Chen Xuan both looked at the cabin on the left with cautious expressions. The soft sobs came from there. Mrs. Yin must have lived there.
Because there was also a lantern lit in the corridor, Ma Yun stood beside Wu and Chen with a sad look on his face. After receiving the money from the Yin family to take the boat, now seeing something happen to Mrs. Yin, she seems to be on the verge of death. This kind of thing is the most taboo among businessmen. If the two guards around him hadn't told him that Wu and Chen were both practicing masters, I'm afraid if it had been anyone else, Ma Yun would have been rushing to the shore of Shizhong Mountain. People are gone.
When he was feeling worried, he heard a voice coming from the corridor, and Ma Yun saw Xiao Jiulang at a glance.
"Why are brothers Xiao here? Could it be that they were woken up!" Ma Yun was a little surprised at the ceremony. Thinking that it might alarm the Xiaoyao Sect people, Ma Yun started to worry about it again. If the Xiaoyao Sect is really angry, I'm afraid Ma Yun will be embarrassed by the Yin family.
Of course, because of the intimacy in the afternoon, Ma Yun thought that the distance between himself and Xiao Jiulang had become closer. He changed Xiao Jiulang's title, firstly, to let Xiao Jiulang know how important he was, and secondly, to tell the people of the Yin family that he was related to the Xiaoyao sect.
Wu Xuan and Chen Xuan naturally recognized Xiao Jiulang. If Xiao Jiulang hadn't negotiated with the Kunlun Immortal on behalf of the sect, the Yin family's outcome would have been even worse. Wu Xuan was the first to salute Xiao Jiulang with his hands raised: "Wu Yi Wu Xuan thanked Mr. Xiao for his help!" He originally wanted to call him Taoist Master or Immortal Chief, but seeing that neither Xiao Jiulang nor Su Hou were wearing Taoist attire, he had to call Xiao Jiulang " Young Master.
