I am honest

Qianlongyuan is powerful. It claims to have thousands of warships and warships, one hundred dragon warriors from eight tribes, 36 Dharma guardian dragon envoys with strength in the Dongxuan period, 72 demon dragon knights and 30 bandits and bandits. , if you fight from the front, you will not be Qianlongyuan's opponent if you cut down all the elite troops.

However, wars have never been about the two sides using brute force to score points. The key to determining the outcome of the two sides is not only military strength, but also many other factors.

2 dead soldiers from the Asura Hall, [-] ferocious beast slaves from the War Yao Hall, and more than [-] assassins from the Soul Chasing Pavilion led by the owner of the Soul Chasing Pavilion entered the Xuantian Mountains in Baogu's super-large storage bag to stand by.

Qu Yirou, the master of Chasing Soul Pavilion, made all the arrangements and discussed the itinerary with Bao Gu before sneaking away alone.

With [-] elites in his pocket, Baogu and Yumi set off from the teleportation circle of the chop gang, and appeared in Zhaocheng not long after.

Backed by the Chaoyang Mountains, Zhaocheng is located at the confluence of the Youjiang River, the Dayue River and the Jinlin River. It is a very prosperous commercial city.On the river, merchant ships come and go in an endless stream; in the sky, immortal cultivators and merchant ships flying with magic weapons come and go. In the city, immortal cultivators, mortals, and demon cultivators live together. The symbol of the city, silk brocade, rare and exotic treasures gather here for trading.

Bao Gu is most familiar with Zhaocheng for the famous silk brocades made of Fengcailing silk.Fengcai silkworms are only produced in the Chaoyang Mountains, and Jinxiufang has mastered the art of domesticating Fengcai silkworms.Fengcailing silk is impermeable to water and fire, smooth, rich and tough, and exudes colorful rays of light. It is the most famous cotton weaving material in the world of cultivating immortals. All the clothes and bedding of Baogu come from Fengcailing silkworm products in Jinxiufang, Zhaocheng.

Although Zhaocheng is connected to the waters of Youjiang River, the bandits from Qianlongyuan never rob Zhaocheng.This is not because rabbits don't eat grass beside their nests, but because Qianlongyuan also knows the truth of long and thin water. Because of the existence of Zhaocheng, a commercial place, there are a lot of merchant ships in the Youjiang waters, and these merchants are Qianlong. Yuan's source of wealth!If Zhaocheng is destroyed, it is equivalent to cutting off one's own fortune.Furthermore, Zhaocheng is a prosperous place, and there are many forces operating business here. It can be said that there is a powerful force behind every big shop in Zhaocheng. An important source of income for these forces, even Qianlongyuan may not be able to withstand the anger of all parties.

Bao Gu chose to start from Zhaocheng because he was interested in the fact that dragons and snakes are mixed here, and the gathering of three religions and nine streams can well deceive people's eyes and ears.

Although Baogu's purpose is to go to Longyuan through Daozhaocheng, Zhaocheng, known as the "Business Capital", has an indescribable temptation for Baogu, who has been immersed in business and business.If she had a choice, she would rather stay in Zhaocheng and be a businessman with an abacus all day long, rather than a leader of a faction leading tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to fight and fight.

After Baogu arrived in Zhaocheng, she bit her lip and hesitated and struggled a little, then gave up going straight to Zhaocheng pier, and led Yumi to the city instead.

Yu Mi followed Bao Gu, seeing that Bao Gu didn't rush to Qianlongyuan, but went straight to the busiest market in the city, plunged into the shop run by Jinxiufang and talked about business, she was dumbfounded.

Jinxiu Fang not only sells silk brocades made of Fengcailing silk, but also other relatively cheap silk products. After all, the quantity of Fengcailing silk is limited, and the annual output is also limited, and Fengcailing silk is famous far and wide. Brocade is the favorite brocade item of the dignitaries in the world of cultivating immortals, especially the female cultivators. This can be seen from the cost of Baogu. The clothes, sheets and bedding used by Baogu are all made of this phoenix silk. made.The final conclusion is that things are good, the quantity is small, and the price is expensive.The Fengcailing silk products that Bao Gu uses now are cut and donated as a tribute a few years ago. After these years of consumption, she doesn’t have many spares. Now that she comes to Jinxiufang’s shop in person, she naturally has to buy a lot. After all, she is not the only one who uses these, she, Yumi, Ziyunshu, Yaosheng all have to use them.Especially Zi Yunshu, as a beautiful craftsman, using Fengcailing silk products to refine beautiful magic clothes can be regarded as Ziyunshu's favorite. great.

The quantity of Baogu required was large, and for Fengcailing silk, she planned to buy all that she could.As for the other silk brocade weaving, I don't intend to let it go.In her words, the world of cultivating immortals is not peaceful now, and no one can guarantee that the flames of war will not spread here. Silk brocades produced by Jinxiufang that can be used to refine magic weapons are even more in short supply and worth hoarding.

Naturally, Jinxiu Workshop is not picky about customers, as long as the price can be negotiated, the spirit stones are affordable, and the goods are available, then the business can be done.

There are spirit stones, and the goods that Baogu wanted were quickly dispatched, and Baogu put them into different storage treasures according to their types.

She came out of Jinxiufang, and led Yumi around Zhaocheng. This time, she didn't do a lot of shopping, but only bought some in small batches. He is a cloth merchant and an immortal cultivator with a little practice.Such a number of ways can be easily grasped among casual cultivators with a little wealth.

Zhaocheng is a very complicated place where mortals and cultivators mingle.Here, the line between mortals and immortals is blurred.Ordinary people practice martial arts, and they also pay attention to refining qi, but the names are different. Immortal cultivators call it spiritual power, and they call it internal force. For mortal martial arts practitioners, it is a master who can open up the meridians of the whole body. There are also martial arts experts who can cultivate golden elixirs, and many mortals even practice the fragmented exercises of immortal cultivators or are from some outer disciples of immortal sects.There are immortal cultivators, mortals, and poor people who have no cultivation or kung fu.

Bao Gu didn't dare to delay too long, she spent two hours to buy all the things and then rushed to Zhaocheng Wharf with Yu Mi.

There are densely packed boats docked on both sides of Zhaocheng Wharf, almost occupying most of the river surface.There are even more crowds of people on the pier, there are immortal cultivators in splendid clothes and gorgeous clothes, and there are also many mortal coolies in ragged clothes carrying goods.

Water transport routes can be said to be the blood of business transactions, and naturally there are people who operate this aspect of business.

Bao Gu and Yu Mi easily found the merchant ship that runs through the entire Youjiang waters.

This merchant ship is a four-storey high-rise ship. The top floor is an expensive suite for dignitaries, including a living room, living room, and an ear room for accompanying attendants and guards. The second and first floors are single cabins and decks, and the lower deck is the cargo hold and where the boatmen live.

Bao Gu and Yu Mi had no entourage and no need to meet guests, so they chose the single cabin on the first floor.

The single cabin on the first floor is next to the deck, and many people who can't afford the cabin ticket are crowded on the deck, and these people often squeeze into the aisle of the cabin, mixed with all kinds of people, and there are many robbers.But there is one advantage, that is, this kind of people who have been sneaking around on the ship all year round are very well-informed about all kinds of news on this waterway.According to Bao Gu's knowledge, among the thieves on board, there are quite a few secret agents of the Youying Pavilion.

Bao Gu is used to being cautious, afraid that the news of his coming to the waters of the Youjiang River would leak out, and he didn't even contact the secret whistle eyeliner of the Youying Pavilion.After boarding the boat, she and Yu Mi went directly to the cabin, and set up a magic circle to isolate the outside world from detection, then brewed tea and listened to the movement outside.

People have a mouth, which is used for talking besides eating.Where there are many people, conversations and exchanges are naturally indispensable. In this way, all kinds of useful and useless news come out of people's mouths.

Bao Gu learned from a few pickpockets who wandered on merchant ships all the year round that since the Eighteenth Water Village in the Youjiang River was under martial law, there was another regulation in the Eighteenth Water Village, prohibiting anyone from entering the water.

The Eighteen Water Villages in the Youjiang Waters refer to the eighteen water village checkpoints set up on the surface of the Youjiang River in Qianlongyuan. Second, it is a pass for passing ships.

Bao Gu reckons that the martial law in the waters of the Youjiang River and the regulations prohibiting anyone from entering the water are aimed at her. After all, with the lessons learned from her experience of moving the feng shui of the Immortal City Formation, the waters of the Youjiang River, as a big water dragon, can move in feng shui. There are too many means, not afraid of [-], just in case, what if she repeats her old plan and let the disaster of Wangxian City reappear in Youjiang waters or Qianlongyuan?

Bao Gu really didn't think about the feng shui of the Youjiang waters. After all, the Youjiang waters are different from Wangxian City. In villages and towns, most of these people are mortals who have lived here for generations.If she disturbs the feng shui in the waters of the Youjiang River, the countless innocent mortals on both sides of the Youjiang River will suffer first.In order to deal with Qianlongyuan's 30 bandits, at the cost of countless innocent lives on both sides of the Youjiang River, she couldn't do such a thing.

She has always felt that power struggles and the disaster of swords should not harm innocent people.It can be read all over the history books that in all dynasties and dynasties, innocent people were the first to suffer in the disaster of swords and soldiers.Prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer.

This world, this world of cultivating immortals, has long been devastated, and she does not want to let innocent people in the mortal world suffer any more.At least within the scope of her ability, she is willing to use her greatest strength to prevent innocent people from being harmed.

Bao Gu leaned against the window, her spiritual sense detected the aquatic monsters patrolling under the water, and she even had the idea of ​​handing the mirage dragon ball to the ghost and dragon god to resolve the dispute.No matter what Qianlongyuan's considerations are, at least Qianlongyuan didn't have the idea of ​​attacking the ancient mountain range, and didn't go to the ancient mountain range to break the formation and dig the holy artifact.

Yu Mi sat cross-legged on the soft couch and closed her eyes to meditate. From time to time, fire spiritual power emerged from her body, and a vague aura of Nanming Lihuo appeared and disappeared on her body.

Bao Gu saw this strange movement of breath, and she knew that it was the Nanming Lihuo sword that Yumi was merging into the meridians and blood.Although Yu Mi's cultivation base has been abolished, her body is after all the body of an early immortal cultivator who has been refined by the True Spirit Cauldron of All Things and successfully merged with the vessel. In theory, this is a strong individual in the stage of transformation into a god or stage of integration.Of course, the premise is that Yu Mi has to know how to use the Nanming Lihuo Sword that is integrated into her body.

The days of sailing in the cabin are very boring.Yu Mi was busy practicing kung fu, and Bao Gu was naturally not idle either. He dug out the jade slip engraved by the demon sage against Ba and pondered the ancient demon talisman on it.Dao, there is actually a connection between humans and demons.The ancient demon talisman is a powerful rune from the demon clan in the upper realm, and it belongs to the demon clan, but for Bao Gu, if he can figure it out thoroughly, it will greatly improve his own practice.

The practice time flies by quickly.

Merchant ships berthed and set sail at town wharves along the way, passing one wharf after another.

Bao Gu knew that there were spies from Qianlongyuan on the boat, so naturally he would not act rashly, and sat on the boat openly and aboveboard to enter the fortress within Qianlongyuan's sphere of influence.

Suddenly, a dull impact sounded from the bottom of the ship, which caused the ship to shake violently, like an earthquake.Bao Gu, who was sitting by the window, was almost thrown out of his hand by the jade slip in his hand and fell into the water outside the window.

what happened?She subconsciously probed her divine sense towards the bottom of the boat, and suddenly saw a giant turtle that looked like a hill appearing at the bottom of the boat.

Bao Gu "seeed" this giant tortoise with a shell diameter of three feet long, and his eyes widened in shock!Seeing the size of this giant tortoise, she almost thought that she had met Bi Xi, one of the nine sons of the dragon. Looking more closely, this giant tortoise did not have the slightest characteristics of a dragon son, and its eyes were full of evil spirits. With a demonic air, it doesn't seem like a good thing at first glance.

When Bao Gu was looking at the giant tortoise, the giant tortoise turned around on the bottom of the boat like a spinning top.Its size, combined with the speed at which it rotates, creates a huge vortex at the bottom of the water.The merchant ship she was on was caught in the middle of the vortex and turned like a top. The big ship shook violently, and the things in the house, including the corn sitting by the window, were thrown out.Bao Gu was dizzy from being shaken, and then she was thrown away and her chin hit the table that was also thrown away, the pain caused tears to flow out of her eyes.Melting the Xuantian Sword, I can't stand the pain.

Yu Mi, who was sitting cross-legged, sat firmly like a mountain, allowing her to spin and creak, as if she was about to disintegrate at any moment. She remained motionless and concentrated on her cultivation.

Bao Gu, who kept his figure steady, was overwhelmed with admiration for her senior sister.Don't look at her senior sister's fast practice, but every step is solidly practiced, and it is by no means comparable to those cultivators who rely on spiritual treasures and medicines.

Bao Gu was afraid of disturbing her senior sister's practice, so she took out the battle flags and fixed the cabin, making the cabin tightly guarded.

The giant tortoise at the bottom of the boat stopped turning, and the boat was no longer on top.

Bao Gu opened the door of the cabin, and saw people falling on the ground in the corridor outside the cabin, many of them were bloody, and many of them even vomited on the ground, the smell of blood and vomit made Bao Gu unbearable Cover your nose.She heard crying and screaming from the deck, someone was crying "My daughter—" someone was crying "Son—" crying horribly, and the deck was even more chaotic. The steward of the merchant ship operator ran to the bow and kowtowed and threw animals into the water.Bao Gu's heart was startled, his divine sense probed into the water, and he suddenly found that following the giant tortoise's movement, many people fell into the water, and the giant tortoise was feasting on the bottom of the water.The giant tortoise's head was bigger than a bathtub, and it swam to the side of the person who was submerged into the water and passed out. It bit and flicked its big mouth, and blood sprang up in an instant, and the person who passed out in the water was killed It bit it into two pieces, swallowed it in a few mouthfuls, and swam towards the next person.

Surprised by the underwater situation, Baogu yelled subconsciously: "Help me!" After he said those words, he realized that capable people don't live on the first floor, and those who can be pushed into the water can't afford it. Ordinary people with cabin tickets, letting them go into the water and not saving people from the mouth of the giant turtle is simply sending them to death.As for the immortal cultivators on the second, third and fourth floors, they didn't see anyone acting rashly.She closed the hatch and quickly moved to the deck, and saw someone in the water swimming towards the boat, shouting for help.

There were a lot of people trapped in the water, and there were a lot of people who remained awake. At this moment, they were all struggling to get closer to the boat, but they couldn't get on the boat.

After the giant tortoise in the water finished eating the unconscious people, it leaned towards those who were still struggling.

Seeing the giant tortoise approaching, Baogu yelled: "Be careful!"

People on the deck saw a huge shadow rising from the surface of the water and a huge splash of water, and they screamed in fright. The people underwater were even more terrified. Bitten by the giant tortoise, he let out a shrill scream, and then was dragged into the bottom of the water by the giant tortoise, with splashes and blood surging...

Baogu took out the fairy rope from the oversized storage bag and threw one end into the water, shouting: "Grab the rope, I will pull you up—" Before she finished speaking, a hand suddenly stretched out beside her He grabbed the rope in her hand and threw it into the water.She turned her head in shock, and suddenly found that a steward on the boat was staring at her fiercely and said angrily, "This is the sacrifice that the river god wants. If you dare to pull someone up, I will throw you down!"

"Ah—" There was another scream in the water, and another person was in trouble.

"Son—save my son—" someone on the deck threw himself to the side of the ship and cried out in mourning, the voice was full of despair.

Bao Gu's eyes were red, she stared at the steward and shouted: "How can you bear it!"
