Now I have become very prosperous. I have cultivated the water layer so much that I can breathe like a fish. Well, like a frog to be precise. Fish have gills. Zhao Chuan revised his thoughts.
Are there any other functions? Zhao Chuan struggled again and found that apart from being able to see further and more clearly in the water, there were no other strange changes.
Then try what it feels like to practice in the water.
Zhao Chuan closed his eyes. He just practiced a few laps and felt hot all over his body. After practicing a few more laps, the water around his body began to swirl around Zhao Chuan, and his whole body felt very comfortable.
Zhao Chuan was very satisfied. Practicing like this is called cultivation. The pain in the bone marrow like before was simply painful.
Oops, no, Zhao Chuan suddenly felt keenly that something was swimming towards him nearby. He opened his eyes and was shocked to find that the big snake was swimming towards him!
Not only did Zhao Chuan hate snakes, but he was actually more afraid of them by nature. He quickly drew his energy into the sea of energy in his Dantian and swam out of the water.
When he reached the water surface, Zhao Chuan discovered that the passenger ship had already disappeared. Zhao Chuan then remembered that the passenger ship had been sailing all the time, and he stayed underwater to practice martial arts. The passenger ship had already traveled a long way.
Zhao Chuan hurriedly swam forward to catch up with the passenger ship, but there was a scary big snake behind him. The big snake was extremely fast in the water, and Zhao Chuan could not swim past it.
Seeing that the big snake was about to catch up, Zhao Chuan hurriedly turned around in the water and struck a palm.
This palm was made with spiritual energy, it was quick and powerful, but Zhao Chuan felt that it was weak and weak after being struck in the water, like hitting cotton.
The big snake seemed to have no change after being slapped by Zhao Chuan. It came to Zhao Chuan in an instant, entangled Zhao Chuan with a flick of its tail, and then swam forward quickly with Zhao Chuan.
Zhao Chuan was naturally very scared when he was entangled by the big snake, although he knew that the black snake did not eat people, because no one who had fallen into the water on a passenger ship had been hurt by it before.
But not long after being led away by the big snake, Zhao Chuan felt his body being thrown out of the water, and landed on the deck of the passenger ship with a snap.
Orochi sent Zhao Chuan back to the passenger ship.
Zhao Chuan stood at the stern of the boat and looked towards the river behind the boat. He saw the big snake swimming with its head raised and following closely behind the boat.
He didn't understand why the big snake did this, but he sent it home even if he refused to eat it, which showed that the snake had its own thoughts.
Zhao Chuan bowed his hand to the big snake to show his gratitude. Unexpectedly, the snake nodded back and forth in response. It turns out that this is a spiritual snake that can understand human beings.
"Orochi, if you can understand me, swim to this side of the ship!" Zhao Chuan pointed to the right side of the passenger ship.
Unexpectedly, the big snake actually swam to the right side of the passenger ship and traveled side by side with the passenger ship.
Zhao Chuan stood at the stern of the bottom floor, really surprised.
"Orochi, swim to the other side of the ship now!" Zhao Chuan thought for a while and pointed to the left side of the passenger ship.
The big snake immediately submerged its head into the water, and its body was immediately invisible. After a moment, it appeared on the left side of the passenger ship. It turned out that the big snake had passed through the bottom of the passenger ship.
"Yeah! Okay! It's okay, then just follow the boat like this!" Zhao Chuan felt that it was fun. Although he had nothing to say for the time being, he didn't want to let it go. Because I thought that since this snake could understand human speech, it must know a lot that I didn't know, so I had to think about what I needed to ask it first.
Zhao Chuan went back to the cabin to rest dripping wet, changed his clothes, and lay on the small bed to think about something.
In the middle of the night, Zhao Chuan was awakened by an urgent gong sound and saw that the ship was full of fire and smoke.
"The barbarians are here again! Those who can beat them will attack them, but those who can't will put out the fire quickly!" someone shouted.
Where is Huang Jin? Zhao Chuan looked at Huang Jin's cabin bed, which was empty. Did this guy run away long ago? Or did you stay in the public area on the second floor all night and didn't come back? Zhao Chuan cursed secretly and hurried out of the cabin.
Zhao Chuan looked toward the river and saw dozens of small boats surrounding the passenger ship.
Many people were fighting on the lower deck, and a steady stream of barbarians were climbing up the side of the ship.
Zhao Chuan shot out both palms, knocked down several barbarians, and then ran to the VIP cabin of the Han family on the third floor.
Han Yu'er and maid Qin'er were in a panic, but they couldn't help but feel happy when they saw Zhao Chuan arriving.
Before Zhao Chuan could comfort them with a few words, he saw Jiang Yong running up in a panic, "Oh no! The bottom floor has been occupied by barbarians. The boatmen are all dead. The barbarians are coming up. Please jump off the ship with me. I'm going to We've prepared a small boat." After saying that, he stepped forward and grabbed Han Yu'er and pulled her toward the window.
Han Yu'er was shocked. There was no way she would jump off the ship. This was the third floor, and women were not good at it.
Zhao Chuan looked down and saw that the passenger ship had stopped sailing on the river. It was expected that the paddle wheel room on the bottom floor had been occupied by barbarians, and all the oarsmen, oarsmen, and other operating crew members were killed.
"Don't panic, let me go down and take a look, you stay here!" Zhao Chuan glanced at Jiang Yong and flew downstairs.
The bottom floor was indeed occupied by barbarians, and screams and cries could be heard from inside.
At the entrance to the second floor, the ship owner and a few people were still resisting desperately.
Zhao Chuan jumped directly into the river from the third floor. There were twenty or thirty small boats on the river surrounding the passenger ship. Zhao Chuan climbed onto a small boat, raised both hands, and killed several barbarians on the boat with his palms. Beat into water.
"Big snake, big snake! Come out! Come out!" Zhao Chuan shouted to Jiangzhi.
As soon as he finished speaking, the big black snake immediately emerged from the water. It turned out that the big snake had been following the passenger ship obediently.
Zhao Chuan was overjoyed and ordered the big snake to overturn all the boats in the river.
In the dark night, the big snake, which was more than ten feet tall, swung its tail and smashed it randomly. After a while, the river surface was full of struggling Hu people and howling.
The Hu people on the passenger ship were extremely surprised when they saw this. Before they could recover, Zhao Chuan ordered a big snake to jump onto the bottom deck of the passenger ship and swim around. Although this big snake did not eat people, how could the Hu people know that they had just seen it with their own eyes? The boat in Caishui was smashed to pieces, and they were so frightened that they jumped into the water to escape.
The captain took advantage of the situation to counterattack and drove all the Hu people off the passenger ship. He quickly organized the remaining boatmen and managed to drive a paddle wheel out of the Shifei River.
Accidents happened one after another. It was impossible to say that Han Yu'er was not frightened. This rich lady had never experienced such an experience before. This time her mind was indeed affected. Fortunately, Zhao Chuan comforted her in time and calmed her mind. Big deal.
After dawn, the passenger ship finally entered the area of Jiangzhou City.
After driving for another hour, military flags could be seen fluttering on both sides of the strait. A large number of soldiers were stationed along the river. At the barracks, large national flags with the character "Zhou" and the character "Han" could be seen.
"Look, our Han family's general is there!" Qin'er excitedly pointed to the flag on the shore.
At this point, everyone on the ship was completely relieved.
Soon, a navy boat sailed towards the passenger ship on the riverside. They tried to contact the passenger ship with flags, but the crew members on the passenger ship suffered serious casualties. There was not much left safe, and all the boatmen at the observation deck had long since died.
Seeing that there was no response to the call, there was a sound of cannon and two warships surrounded them from the shore. Upon seeing this, the captain quickly ordered to stop the ship.
When the sailors boarded the passenger ship, the owner realized the seriousness of the problem and immediately let him go.
Another hour later, near noon, the passenger ship finally arrived at its destination: Jiangzhou City Pier.
Zhao Chuan looked around for Huang Jin, but he was nowhere to be found. He had no choice but to go to the VIP cabin on the third floor to greet Han Yu'er.
The boat passengers began to get off the boat happily. Only the boat owner stood on the deck with a heavy face, looking at the river bank and the boat passengers, not knowing what he was thinking.
The Han family had probably already received the news and had already sent someone to wait at the pier to greet the young lady, because Qin'er had a sharp eye and said that the Han family's carriage had already parked at the pier.
"Zhao Chuan, Chuan'er! So you are here, let me find you easily!" Huang Jin appeared out of nowhere, walked over and grabbed Zhao Chuan's arm.
"Oh, Uncle Huang, I didn't see you last night. I thought you were beaten to death by barbarians!" Zhao Chuan said deliberately.
"Ahem! What are you talking about that is unlucky? I went to put out a fire last night, and you see my sleeves are all burned!" After Huang Jin said this, he rolled up his sleeves.
When the boat reached the shore, Huang Jin was about to get off the boat, so he naturally showed up, so Zhao Chuan Xiaoxiao didn't bother to quarrel with him anymore.
Han Yu'er and Qin'er followed Zhao Chuan, and Huang Jin followed at the end.
What Zhao Chuan didn't expect was that the person who came to pick up Han Yu'er turned out to be Mr. Han, Han Qiaosheng. Didn't this old guy get picked up by the school lieutenant and resume his duties as an official? Why are you here?
Han Qiaosheng and the others were already on the shore, and Han Zheng was also waving to Zhao Chuan. The Han family's carriage had been waiting nearby for a long time. They exchanged greetings with each other, and Zhao Chuan said that he was leaving to find his relatives.
Jiang Yong asked for the balance of the Han family's protection fee and left on his own. Originally, after getting off the boat, he always kept his eyes on Huang Jin with intentions, but Huang Jin never left Zhao Chuan and seemed to be very familiar with the Han family. Jiang Yong had no choice but to fight hard. After staring at Huang Jin for a few times, he gave up.
Han Qiaosheng saw that tears seemed to be welling up in Yu'er's eyes. He thought for a moment and then said to Zhao Chuan: "Little friend, please take a step to speak."
A little away from everyone, Han Qiaosheng looked around, then took out a jade plaque from his arms.
"My little friend doesn't want to accept help from Han, nor can I force it. But Han is happy to get to know me. I have a jade token here. You can withdraw gold and silver at any bank in Jiangchuan without any restrictions. With the jade token, you can Arrange any members of the Han family to help you with what you want to do, of course you don’t have to do it, there’s no burden anyway, don’t refuse this time!”
Zhao Chuan originally didn't want it, but when he thought about someone on the passenger ship talking about how cultivators wanted to reach advanced levels, they had to spend a lot of money to buy elixirs to assist their cultivation. In order to avenge those who had already achieved high levels of skill, he might as well accept it.
Zhao Chuan took the jade plaque and saw that there were Korean characters on the front, and there were flowers, grass, cloud patterns and several seal characters on the reverse. It was very exquisite and he liked it very much. He said, "Thank you, Mr. Han, you are so polite." He went back to say goodbye to everyone.
After the Han family left, Huang Jin asked Zhao Chuan, "What did Mr. Han ask you to do?"
"It's the same thing I said last time," Zhao Chuan said perfunctorily.
Huang Jin said that it was very tiring to take the boat these days, so he would first find a hotel to stay in.
Zhao Chuan said: "Uncle Han, thank you for taking care of me all the way. Let's say goodbye now."
Huang Jin blushed. He didn't want to break up with Zhao Chuan. Along the way, especially during the few days on the boat, he felt that this boy was becoming more and more promising.
Huang Jin said with a thick old face: "Haha, you are very young, and Uncle Huang is very worried. It is better to find your relatives first. Qingfengguan is at the foot of the mountain outside the city, so it is a good idea."
Even so, Zhao Chuan was casual. After the two found a place to have dinner, they went straight there.
Qingfeng Temple is located on Lingyin Mountain in the southeast of Jiangzhou City, 20 miles away from the city. The mountain is surrounded by rivers. The mountain is high and the road is dense with clouds. The top of the mountain is rainy and foggy all year round. It is said that it has been guarded by spiritual gods since ancient times, so it is called Lingyin. Mountains are also.
Qingfeng Temple is located on the southern slope of the mountainside. It covers a large area and is quite large. It looks very majestic from a distance.
By the time the two of them climbed up to the front of the temple, it was already Shen Shichu. When Zhao Chuan saw the tall and majestic mountain gate, he hesitated to move forward.
Zhao Chuan hesitated for a long time, thought about it, and then told Huang Jin that this distant relative had never met him, and only remembered his surname as Zhao. He was about forty years old, and he came to look for him at this time, which was very awkward. If he didn't recognize me, I would be embarrassed ? Otherwise, forget it.
