When we reach the main channel of the Anping River, isn't it not far from Wanjian Island?
The Anping River is in the south of Anping City. He had left Anping North City half a month ago. From the wasteland in the north of the city to the Anping River in the south, it was a long circle around Anping City, a distance of thousands of miles. !
Zhou Yang went from being overjoyed to crying without tears. He traveled thousands of miles and fled for his life for more than ten days, but it was all in vain! And he almost lost his life, so unjust, so unjust!
"Oh, I finally came back alive, but I lost my life!" Zhou Yang stood by the Anping River with a sad face, looking into the distance.
The river was glowing with white light, flowing eastward in waves, seemingly endless.
But he suddenly became excited, his face changed slightly, and he looked around hurriedly, observing all around.
Although he is on the north side of the river at this time, and the north of the river is Anping City, it is said that the Anping River is thousands of miles long. Where is he now? To be precise, he had no idea whether he was located to the east or west of Anping City, or how many miles to the east or west.
But he was certain that this place was definitely not due north of Anping City. Because there is Wanjian Island in the Anping River due north, but there are only a few small islands here, and no larger islands can be seen from afar.
In this case, going north may not necessarily lead to Anping City, but if one lives east or west, it is possible to reach Wanjian Island, which is where he wants to go. There is someone he cares about in Wanjian Island, and he has a lot to say to her.
But he never wanted to take the wrong path again.
While he was frowning and thinking, Zhou Yang found a small black spot moving on the water in the distance. As time goes by, the small black spots become larger and clearer. As he got closer, he discovered that it was actually a big boat!
This big ship was flowing down the river from west to east, and the outline of the entire ship could be seen clearly. The ship is three to four feet high and dozens of feet long. The sails are hung high and extend upwards to a height of seven or eight feet. There is a giant sword pattern on the sail!
Zhou Yang looked carefully and saw that it was the symbol of Wanjianmen.
He couldn't help but be overjoyed. He raised his hand and greeted the sailboat, shouting from time to time.
When the big boat was still more than a hundred feet away from the river bank, the people on the boat also discovered him. But they were traveling eastward and had no intention of docking here.
Zhou Yang naturally understood the ship's course and jumped up and down in a hurry, shouting. But the people on the boat looked at him indifferently, still showing no intention of docking.
Zhou Yang was anxious and sweating on his head.
However, he suddenly slapped his head, cursing himself for losing an inch in his haste. He quickly took out the fine copper sword and drew ten thousand characters in the air.
The people on the big ship wanted to leave, but when they saw Zhou Yang using his long sword to draw the word "ten thousand", their eyes couldn't help but focus, and they looked at Zhou Yang carefully, but they didn't recognize him after looking for a long time. But if this person can draw ten thousand characters, he must have something to do with the sect.
The blue-robed guards on the ship did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly ran into the cabin. After a while, they ran out again, and also made a sign of ten thousand with their long swords, and shouted: "Ten thousand swords for ten thousand years!"
Zhou Yang also replied loudly: "The sword soul stays forever!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a young woman walked out of the big ship. The blue-robed guard bowed and said: "Miss, that person's secret order is correct, are we...
"Let him come here on his own." The woman was Qiang Xia. She looked at Zhou Yang on the shore with a look of confusion on her face.
"Yes." The guard responded, and then shouted to the shore: "You can get on the boat! Our boat is too big to dock, please fellow Taoists, please come on by yourself!"
"That young lady seems to be a powerful one. She already knew the password. Why did she let me go up by myself? Is there anyone who treats guests like this?" Zhou Yang was dissatisfied, but he had no choice. He was begging for help now and had to bow his head. Without saying a word, he jumped into the water and swam towards the big ship.
When he got close to the big ship, Zhou Yang raised his breath and jumped onto the deck with his spiritual energy surging.
"Why do you look so familiar! You, you are Zhou Yang!" Qiang Xia stared at Zhou Yang for a long time and suddenly exclaimed.
Zhou Yang was very puzzled. He had obviously changed his appearance, and now he was unkempt and extremely embarrassed. But Qiang Xia recognized him so quickly. Could it be that she felt it through his breath?
I've only seen him once and I've remembered his scent. It's so charming! Zhou Yang's self-confidence instantly swelled.
"I met the eldest lady in Zhou Yang." Zhou Yang bowed.
"How can you be here and still in such a miserable state!" Qiang Xia said in surprise.
"Oh, it's hard to put it into words!" Zhou Yang sighed with a bitter look on his face. His clothes were in tatters, his body was covered in blood, his hair was unkempt, and his face was covered with mud. Qiang Xia could recognize this look, which really moved him a little.
Qiang Xia waved her hand, summoned the guards, explained a few words, and then said to Zhou Yang, "Master Zhou, go change your clothes first, and we'll talk later."
"Thank you, Miss." Zhou Yang clasped his fists and followed the guard.
The cabin is very large, divided into three levels: upper and lower. There are many people on the lower level, all of them blue-robed disciples of Wanjian Sect. These people shuttled through various rooms, looking a little busy.
The guard led Zhou Yang to a room on the second floor, pushed open the door and retreated.
The layout of the room is similar to that of an ordinary house on the shore. All kinds of daily necessities are available, but it is relatively simple. This should be a guest room. A large wooden bucket filled with hot water has been placed in the guest room, and all amenities such as bathing are available.
Zhou Yang closed the door, took off his clothes in a few seconds, and got into the barrel. The water temperature was just right, so he leaned against the barrel beautifully and closed his eyes to enjoy it.
As the heat rises, the fatigue gradually disappears. Zhou Yang slept comfortably, and even the pain at the altar no longer hurt, and he fell asleep in a short while.
I don't know how long it took, but Zhou Yang woke up again, feeling refreshed, energetic, and full of strength. He got out of the barrel and saw a brand new set of blue robes on the table. Knowing that it was prepared for him, he was not polite. He put it on neatly, took out the storage bag from his old robe and put it in his pocket. inside.
There are four dishes, two cold, two hot, and a jug of wine on the table. The young lady prepared them very thoughtfully. Zhou Yang had not had delicious food for more than ten days. When he saw this, he couldn't help but feel even more moved.
He was so hungry that he didn't even use chopsticks. He reached out and grabbed a handful of food and put it into his mouth. With the other hand, he grabbed the wine bottle and took a big gulp. If Miss Qiang saw Zhou Yang eating like this at this time, her jaw would definitely be dropped.
He had plenty of wine, but he had long been tired of eating only animal and bird meat these days. Moreover, Wanjianmen's wine was really good, and the cook's skills were excellent. The four dishes were all delicious and fragrant, which aroused Zhou Yang's appetite.
He ate everything like a storm and drank a bottle of wine, but he was not satisfied, so he took out another bottle from his storage bag and drank it.
After feeling comfortable eating and drinking, Zhou Yang glanced around the room, but did not see the teapot. He shook the ice with some regret and said, "The food and wine are good, and a pot of spiritual tea will be even better."
There was no tea to drink, so Zhou Yang sat on the futon and fell into meditation.
About half an hour later, there was a knock on the door outside. Zhou Yang woke up and said, "Please come in." The door was pushed open, and the blue-robed guard came in and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, the eldest lady invites you."
"Okay, I'll go right away." Zhou Yang stood up and realized that the guest room was already dark, but it was already evening.
The blue-robed guard led Zhou Yang up to the third floor. This floor was obviously much quieter and there were fewer rooms, but both the passage and the rooms were much wider. There were bright red lanterns hanging on both sides of the passage.
Zhou Yang understood that this was where the high-level cultivators of Wanjian Sect lived. Sure enough, a vague Tianyuan aura was wandering on the third floor. It seemed that there were quite a lot of people!
The guard took him to an exquisite red-painted wooden door, bowed and said, "Miss, Fellow Daoist Zhou is here."
"Invite him in." Qiang Xia's ethereal voice came from the room.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, please." The guard gently opened the door and made a gesture of invitation.
"Thank you." Zhou Yang thanked him and walked into the room.
As soon as he entered the room, a scent of fragrance filled his mouth and nose. This was a fragrance unique to women's boudoirs, and it was also a scent that intoxicated men, and he was no exception.
Zhou Yang bowed and saluted, and at the same time took a deep breath of the fragrance in the room. It was so beautiful!
"Master Zhou, please sit down." Qiang Xia's pleasant voice reached his ears.
"Thank you, Miss." Zhou Yang sat down and a female disciple of Wanjian Sect served him fragrant tea.
Qiang Xia wore a light blue tight-fitting robe tonight, and her hair was tied with a blue rope. Most of it was scattered on her shoulders. It gave off a faint fragrance from time to time. It seemed that the young lady had just finished taking a bath.
Zhou Yang only glanced at Qiang Xia, and his heart trembled. Qiang Xia was beautiful tonight, even more beautiful than when he first saw her. She has fair skin, bright eyebrows and bright teeth, and dotted red lips. Her beautiful face is rosy when illuminated by the sand lamp.
No wonder the ancients said that when you look at a beautiful woman under a lamp, the more you look at her, the more beautiful she becomes. When we see her today, it is really true.
Zhou Yang sat upright, not squinting, but his heart felt itchy. It stands to reason that he is not a lecherous person, but anyone who comes so close to the beauty who has just bathed will have ripples in his heart, let alone Zhou Yang, a young man who is in full bloom.
Qiang Xia raised her jade arm lightly, making a gesture of offering tea, and then said: "Why are you here, Mr. Zhou?"
Zhou Yang picked up the teacup, took a sip, and replied: "I guess the eldest lady also knows about the Xuanfu Sect disciples' training, right?"
"Not bad." Qiang Xia nodded.
"Does the eldest lady know Miss Sima's arrangements?"
"I've heard about it too."
"Miss Sima sent Pu Zheng and I to sneak into the wilderness north of Anping City, looking for opportunities to recruit the loyal disciples of Xuanfu Sect. However, the situation changed and the information we got was far from the truth. Therefore, Captain Pu and I were both attacked, and that's why we ended up here. ." Wan Jianmen knew about this operation, so Zhou Yang did not hide it and told everything that had happened in the past half month.
After hearing this, Qiang Xia was naturally shocked. First, he was surprised by the training arrangements for Xuanfu Sect disciples. Judging from what Zhou Yang stated, she had already judged what kind of experience this was. Second, he was shocked that Zhou Yang traveled thousands of miles in the wilderness and returned safely.
