Daoyou is the name that practitioners call each other.As soon as he heard this title, he thought that the other party quietly stood behind him, and Du Rong knew that the person in front of him had a much higher level of cultivation than him, and he might be a cultivator of immortality.Du Rong was not negligent because of the young face of the other party. He quickly stood up and said politely: "This fellow Taoist, go to the riverside wharf and go out from the east of the market in this small town. When you encounter the intersection, turn north , rush to the capital first, pass through the city and exit the city gate, and go straight along the road.”

Chen Ling saw that young man's face froze for a moment. He clenched his fist and fixed his gaze on Du Rong's neckline: "...Which side is Dong?"

Du Rong was dumbfounded for a moment, and Chen Xiao felt sympathy and nostalgia in his heart.

In fact, as long as you look up at the sun and stars in the sky, and then look at the shadows on the ground, you can judge the north, south, east, and west.Besides, as a Feng Shui master, identifying the orientation is a necessary training item.No matter which city Chen Xiao goes to, or any strange place, she will never get lost.

This young man has a poor sense of direction, a weak sense of time and space, and is a typical lost person.It should be that the brain's nerves in charge of azimuth reflexes are underdeveloped, and the ability to recognize the graphics that have just been seen is poor, so he is considered a born road idiot.

Chen Xiao couldn't understand why some people could get so lost that they couldn't get out after walking around in one place for 10 to [-] minutes.Until he took in an apprentice who couldn't tell the difference between the south, the south, and the north once he got out of the subway, the train station, or the airport.

Therefore, Chen Xiao decided to do good deeds every day.He stood up and pointed to the direction where the boy's back was facing: "That's east, you can leave the market from the direction behind you."

The boy's eyes under the single eyelid were ashamed and annoyed, and he even glanced at Chen Xiao dodgingly.He whispered and quickly said: "Thank you." Then, probably unable to bear this embarrassment anymore, he turned around and slipped into the crowd like a gust of wind, disappearing.

"Hey -" Chen Ling raised his hand and shouted in the direction where he disappeared.Boy, it's dangerous for you to run around like this, and it's easy to lose yourself again.

Originally, Chen Ling wanted to kindly take this young man back to the capital. The inn they lived in was relatively close to the North City Gate.It's a pity that the young man avoided him for fear of not being able to do it. Chen Xiao, who tried to do good things but failed, had no choice but to put down her hands resentfully.

For the rest of the day, Chen Xiao and Du Rong walked around the livestock area.Here I saw several animals that I had never seen before.There are egg-producing, meat-producing, and milk-producing animals. The appearance is completely different from the poultry and livestock of Chen Xiao's previous life.It looks wild and unrestrained, not like a domesticated species at all.

These animals really lived up to Chen Xiao's judgment. Every once in a while, there would be a small outbreak of dishonesty in the animals, which would lead to commotions where they almost escaped or hurt people.Looking at the gleaming horns on the head of the "farming ox" that looked like an African ox, Chen Xiao decided that it would be better to leave as soon as possible.

It took another hour to return in the afternoon, and a thought flashed through Chen Xiao's mind when he returned to the inn.I don't know if that boy managed to find the Embark Wharf... But then he thought that the other party was an immortal master, and it would be okay if he got lost, so he simply forgot about it.

After handing over four pieces of brocade weaving to a century-old tailor shop in the capital city, Chen Xiao measured the size and asked the other party to make a set that fit well and a set that was enlarged by one size.Since Chen Xiao didn't ask for any embroidery patterns to be added to the clothes, the tailor said that all the clothes could be made in seven or eight days.

While waiting for the clothes, Chen Xiao decided to go to the Inland River Wharf to have a look.Before going out this time, he asked Du Rong to leave the room, but temporarily stored his luggage in the inn, only bringing his clothes and personal belongings.Du Rong had doubts in his heart, but he didn't ask.He just packed the things Chen Xiao ordered in a newly bought rattan box and carried them in his hands.Chen Xiao was very satisfied with this point of Du Rong, she only worked in silence and never interfered with the employer.

When they arrived at the Inland River Wharf in a short-distance carriage, Chen Xiao asked Du Rong to buy two tickets to the Outer Harbor.Only then did Du Rong realize that this young employer probably didn't give up on going to the city of immortals.However, he did not discourage it.Chen Xiao is a very determined person, and he will not give up unless he is allowed to witness it with his own eyes.As a guard, it was enough for him to take good care of the other party's safety.

However, deep down in his heart, Du Rong is not without hidden worries.Among those who have left the school, there are also those who realize that it is difficult to enter the country with their talents.These people succumbed to hardships, and were hit by a different situation caused by their talents, so that they lost their faith, and their lives were worse than ordinary people.Even monks can't accept such a gap, let alone ordinary people.

Occasionally looking at Chen Xiao, Du Rong would think of his nephew, and now he accidentally brought his nephew into him.The employer seems to be a bit stubborn in his bones. If he really wants to see the cruelty of the difference between immortals and mortals, will he be sad because of it?

Du Rong's expression was indifferent, but his heart was troubled.Chen Xiao didn't notice it, she just stood not far from the pier and looked around.This is the river closest to the capital, and it is considered the most important hub of hydraulic transportation.So the whole pier is very busy, and a building has been built relying on the pier.Porters and coolies who come and go serve the docks.

There are small and large boats moored on the inland wharf.The small ones are only the kind of boats rowed by park tourists. It can be seen that the owner of the boat is a resident living nearby, and the boat is soliciting business.The big ones are as high as two floors, some are merchant ships, and a few coolies are carrying the goods; some are passenger ships, with well-dressed or decent passengers getting on and off.

Chen Xiao was guessing their identities based on their different clothes, and Du Rong came back.

"Proprietor, I'm sorry. I only bought two tickets, and there is no room for the independent cabin." He said, "It only takes half a day from here to the outer port, so the tickets are relatively tight."

Chen Xiao waved his hand and said, "It's okay, just take a ticket."

After noon, the passenger ship departed on time.This was not Chen Xiao's first time on a boat, but it was the first time on a large wooden boat.To his surprise, the boat was very stable, and he could hardly feel the bumps of the water waves.The ticket seat is not bad, in the front row.However, the cabin is a bit small and the environment is cramped.Because the weather is cold, the windows cannot be opened, so the taste can be imagined.

After just sitting for half an hour, Chen Xiao couldn't bear it anymore.He put on a thick cloak, told Du Rong, got up from the cabin and came to the deck.

To be honest, the two sides of the strait are bare in this season, and there are no good-looking scenery.Even if it's just like this, Chen Xiao is willing to blow air here, and doesn't want to go back to the cabin to experience the indescribable taste.

"Huh?" A figure flashed past the shore, and Chen Xiao uttered in surprise.That person's speed is very fast, even if he is far away, he can't tell if he has an aura.It's just that the color of the clothes, why is it so similar to the boy I met at the market before?

"No way..." Chen Xiao said dryly.Not to mention that this place is quite far from the embarrassing pier, the direction of the man is completely opposite to the pier.If he had to go on like this, the boy would definitely not be able to reach the Embankment Wharf.Chen Xiao twitched the corner of her mouth, and could only think that maybe this young man had no money and couldn't afford a boat ticket, maybe he changed his mind and wanted to walk.

After staying for a while, Chen Xiao returned to the cabin.He is not made of iron, and if he stands still, he will catch the cold.The journey was uneventful, and they arrived at the Outer Harbor before dark.

The place where the Outer Harbor is located is a county called Catfish City.Because guarding the seaside, many people in the county are related to the marine business.Some are fishermen, while others are shipping.

Du Rong was more familiar with this place than the capital city, and he didn't need to call a car when he got off the boat. He took Chen Xiao for more than a quarter of an hour, and came to a hotel that was not very attractive but was built very solidly.

As soon as he entered, Chen Ling felt that the atmosphere here was different from that of an ordinary inn.There are no passengers talking loudly, only people in small groups or alone.These people moved swiftly and neatly, and there was an aura of "I'm not easy to mess with" between their eyebrows.

Chen Xiao had a guess in her heart that this should be the place where monks settled down.Why did Du Rong bring him here?

Du Rong went to the counter to open a room, and Chen Xiao sat on a chair in the reception area guarding the rattan box.It was already dark, and more and more monks came back gradually. Some people saw him ignoring him indifferently, and they also looked at him curiously.It didn't appear that he was not pleasing to the eye and came over to chase people away.

There is no single courtyard here, Du Rong only has a suite, and he and Chen Xiao share one room.

For dinner, the two of them didn't go out to eat, but asked someone to deliver it to the room.Sitting at the round table in the living room, Chen Xiao toasted Du Rong with a glass of wine.He said, "Uncle Rong, I guess you have already guessed what my nephew is thinking just because you chose this hotel to stay."

Du Rong drank a glass of wine and said helplessly: "You are the proprietor, of course it is what you say and what I do."

Chen Xiao laughed and said, "Uncle Rong, don't worry, I won't do anything beyond my capabilities."

Du Rong didn't believe him this time. If he really knew what it means to be "overestimated", he wouldn't be here now.

Du Rong was really depressed.I thought that I could easily earn a sum of money, enough to buy weapons and equipment.Unexpectedly, this employer has a greater sense of adventure than him, and wants to venture everywhere.

Seeing that he didn't believe it, Chen Ling smiled casually.After drinking the wine in the glass in one gulp, he took out something from his arms, spread his palms and put it on the table. "Uncle Rong, just look at this thing, and you will know why I have such thoughts." In the palm of his hand, there was a Lingshi bead glowing softly.
