Daming prepares the emperor

The carriage left the city, and after a few days of land travel, it was time to change to a boat.

The river is surging, rolling eastward, and there is a shoal at the place where the water turns. There are many weeds and trees growing, and there are shaded places for enjoying the shade, suitable for resting.

It was noon at this moment, and the sun was very strong. The three of them and a cat were sitting on the grass by the bank for a picnic.

After tossing around in the woods for a long time, Ju Fei caught a pheasant. Zhou Dian plucked it, washed it in the river, and roasted it on the fire. Soup.

The horse was tied to a tree, lowered its head to eat the grass, snorted from time to time, raised its head to look around, and kicked the ground with its hooves.The car has been parked on the side of the road, and the wheels are stuck with stones.

No matter how well prepared they were when they came out, it was impossible to carry the boat. Zhu Biao planned to buy one. It wasn't too big, it could hold three people and a cat, plus luggage, and it was light.

Thinking of this, he handed the baked chicken wings to Zhang Zhong, and said, "Master, I'm going to ask in the village ahead to see if there are any shops selling boats in the town. You can walk on the water."

While gnawing on the chicken leg, Zhang Zhong went to pick up the chicken wings in Zhu Biao's hand, and said, "Let's take a boat."

"Take a boat?"

"Stop a boat on the shore and see where the master's family is going. If it's on the way, just go together, and just pay some money for the travel expenses."

Zhu Biao resolutely refused: "It's better to buy one yourself. There are many disputes on the boat, and accidents are easy to happen."

Zhang Zhongdao: "I have traveled the world as a teacher for many years, and I have always come here like this. Where did something happen? Don't worry, it is very common to take a boat or a car when you go out."

Zhu Biao still resisted: "Not to mention anything else, you are always familiar with ghost stories, master, but when you go out and meet strangers, nine out of ten must be ghosts. If you go with a partner, there must be a ghost inside." It's not a human thing."

A scholar walks at night and meets an Orion. If the scholar is not a ghost, the Orion must be a ghost; the peasants who are on their way stay in the Zhuangzi, and no matter what happens in the Zhuangzi, they have to die; It was a vixen.There are many things like this, which have become a routine, and Zhu Biaoke doesn't want to risk his life.

"Practitioners, don't stick to common things, act according to your heart, let nature take its course, see more things in the world, and you can sharpen yourself." Zhang Zhong threw the chicken bone on the ground, raised his head and took a sip of wine, and said with a smile, "If you meet a monster, you will meet it. If you are good, you will be friends with him, and if you are bad, you will get rid of it. What is there to think about?"

"No." Zhu Biao turned around to have a face-to-face conversation with Zhang Zhong, and said solemnly, "Master, you are a practitioner, but your apprentice is not. My father depends on who I am."

Zhang Zhong coughed a few times suddenly, and the wine spilled from the corner of his mouth, dripping all over his body. Fortunately, his clothes are magic tools and won't get dirty, otherwise he would have to find a place to wash them off.

"You're fine with that..."

It just sounds weird.

"If my father is the king, I am the son of the world. If he is the emperor, then I am the prince." Zhu Biao said, "So in the future, the disciples will meet some sinister and cunning officialdom old fritters. Do whatever you want as the master said. Regardless of whether I can accept it myself, my father will beat me to death."

Zhou Dian lay on the grass, covered his eyes with the hem of his clothes, and didn't consider that it would be impolite to reveal his underwear, so he said slowly, "Young master, don't listen to your master's nonsense, if you want me to tell you, you made a mistake at that time. This person has no plans in his head, no thinking at all, he only knows how to be unrestrained, natural, and useless. He is just an empty sack, and he is not worthy to teach you."

Zhang Zhong: "Oh, you say that, as if you understand official tactics."

Zhou Dian turned over and said, "The poor monk doesn't understand. So the poor monk will not stop Liu Bowen, and you are the one who can't grow radishes by occupying the pit."

"Pimpedao is the master. The master leads the door. Practice depends on the individual." Zhang Zhong patted Zhu Biao on the shoulder and retorted loudly, "Look at how obedient Biaoer is and how much he respects the poor Taoist. He is so smart and needs Liu Bowen's teaching." What about him? Liu Bowen is making fun of himself!"

No, sir, he really taught a lot, and you, Master, are not considered to lead the door in. You just pointed at the door and told me to work hard, so I patted my ass and left.

Even though he was thinking this way, Zhu Biao would never say it, he just smiled.

"Come on! Look, I'm going to take a boat right now as a teacher. You don't need to buy it. We can set off by boat before dark!" Zhang Zhong was ridiculed by Zhou Dian, but his fighting spirit was high.

"Don't think that Liu Bowen is the only one who can do calculations. Let me tell you, he seems to have asked questions for my teacher! My teacher has already done the calculations. This time, there will definitely be the fastest boat to take us away. It will take ten days. The road can be shortened to one day!"

After finishing these few words, Zhang Zhong flicked his sleeves, got up and strode towards the river bank, looking aggressive, it didn't look like he wanted to block the boat, but he seemed to be a bandit.

Ju Fei hadn't spoken before, and kept silent during the disputes among the big bosses, pretending to be asleep, unable to see or hear, completely closed to himself.

Zhu Biao grabbed its airplane ears, pulled the orange cat out of the "dream", and raised its chin towards the river bank: "Go quickly, follow the Taoist chief to stop the boat."

Ju Fei covered his eyes in a self-deceptive way, and wailed: "Boss, let the Daoist go by himself, isn't the Daoist much stronger than me, what use can I be in the past?"

"...I'm afraid that Master will fall into the water."

Standing by the water, Zhang Zhongzheng raised his hands high and shouted, as if to intercept a rainy taxi, bumping and jumping, swaying from side to side towards the passing passenger ships and boats in the river, like a blue kelp blown by the wind.

But he was still drunk, and he didn't want to sober up with power, saying that he wanted to enjoy the feeling of being slightly drunk, so his feet were very unstable, and he swayed back and forth step by step.

Ju Fei looked at it like this, with a paw stuck to his face, it really felt that Zhu Biao's worry was not unreasonable.

It had no choice but to stand up, ran towards the river, and squatted beside Zhang Zhong to suffer together with him.

Zhou Dian didn't know when he had put down his clothes, and when he saw this, he burst out laughing, watching Zhang Zhong's joke intently while laughing.

At this time, there was a boat in the middle of the river. It was a very exquisite painting boat with a red roof and green frame. The boat was full of people, singers and dancers came and went, and the smell of wine and meat was scattered, just like a picture scroll.

Seeing Zhang Zhong on the shore, a group of dancers and singers became agitated, and a moment later pushed out an oiran to stand on the bow.This oiran has a charming figure, wearing a snow-gray satin dress, embroidered with flowers of the four seasons, with a gold belt and silver on her hair, and a hairpin, she looks like a fairy concubine, holding a pink handkerchief, facing her from a distance. Zhang Zhong beckoned.

She shouted: "Officer~"

Zhang Zhong's face immediately darkened. It's broad daylight and it's still a chaotic world. Where did the boats and dancers come from? They are clearly a boat of monsters, but they can come out in the daytime. There must be nothing wrong with them. Ignore them now and let the boat The boat goes by.

After a while, another painting boat came, and the voice of singing opera was faintly floating on it, like weeping and complaining, very sad.Two people, a man and a woman, were entangled in the bow of the boat, as if they were acting like they were about to jump off.

Zhang Zhong naturally didn't stop it.

About a quarter of an hour, a small bamboo raft floated over, with seven or eight corpses lying on it, a Taoist priest holding a bell was basking in the sun with his legs crossed, saw Zhang Zhong, and looked at him casually. Arched his hands.

Zhang Zhong returned a salute, feeling even more depressed, this was clearly a colleague who drove the corpse, how could he take Zhu Biao to borrow a seat.

Besides, this is obviously not a Clippers, it would be nice not to fall apart.

Soon it was evening, and it was completely dark. Zhu Biao went to pull Zhang Zhong once during the period, and asked the master to come back first, so that he could go to the town to buy a boat.

But Zhang Zhong just didn't listen, he was very stubborn, and said that he would never leave the riverside unless he stopped a reliable boat, and at the same time solemnly said something to Zhu Biao, such as "it's impossible that everything is evil, and you have to believe it when you go out." If there are good people to go with, the stories in the story books are not reliable, etc.

Zhu Biao nodded again and again to show that he was taught, and it was still useless to ask him to come back.

So Zhu Biao had no choice but to go back to the lawn, light the torches, set up the tent, and made preparations to spend the night waiting for Master to wake up.

Waiting and waiting, because the night was already deep, the river wind was gentle, and because of the fatigue of the boat, he and Zhou Dian fell asleep together.

Zhang Zhong looked back and saw them asleep, he didn't feel lost, but his fighting spirit became more and more high-spirited, and he vowed to finish things well before they woke up.

Jufei was still by his side. Given its personality, it would have been lazy and deserted, or simply run away, but Zhu Biao promised to give it a salary of five cents, and Zhang Zhong even promised that if it stopped the boat, he would share it with him. It's a tael of silver.

If fighting spirit can be turned into a concrete flame, then Zhu Biao and Zhou Dian are two burning candle ends, Zhang Zhong is a bonfire, and Ju Fei is a mountain fire that will burn to the sky. If it is water The demon, probably just jumped off and regarded himself as a boat.

In the middle of the night, Zhang Zhong and Ju Fei found two large leaves, folded them into wine cups, and each took one to drink. While drinking, they observed the movement in the water.

The water wave shakes, and the aquatic plants fall down.

Ju Fei didn't know what he saw, his eyes widened, he quickly shook his outstretched arm, stretched out his cat's paw, pointed at Jiang Zhong and said, "Boss, his master, look quickly, is that a boat?"

Shocked, Zhang Zhong hurriedly looked over, only to see a dusty warship rowing towards him.This place is still under Comrade Zhu's jurisdiction, and it is peaceful. Although it is strange, it is not impossible to have a warship. Maybe some general's team has something to do here.

If they don't pull anyone, they can't help pulling the young master. It's a coincidence that Zhang Zhong immediately smiled and raised his hand to stop the boat.

Rich experience and advanced cultivation quickly told him that something was wrong.

He concentrated his mana to look over his eyes, only to find that something was wrong, and sat back with a plop, leaving a butt mark on the floor, and continued drinking with a blank expression.

Ju Fei was in a hurry, pushed him and said: "What's the matter, why didn't you stop the boat? Move quickly, it will run away in a while!"

"Don't panic, don't worry." Zhang Zhong said weakly, "That's not an ordinary warship, there are ghosts on it."

"what?"

"That's the boat of the late Han Dynasty, alas—"

There were even some skeleton soldiers on board, arguing whether Cao Cao really liked other people's wives.

Good guy, even Ju Fei felt that this was outrageous. After working together for a whole day, there was not a single decent boat.

It couldn't help but get lost, but the loss was only for a moment, and soon it regained its strength for the money, licked the fur on its body, and determined to find another one to try.

There are so many ships in the world, it is impossible for all of them to have problems, right?

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a large fishing boat appeared a little to the right of the shore where they were waiting for the boat.

Although it looks like a fishing boat, it is much larger than ordinary similar ones, and can accommodate about five or six people. The bottom of the Upon is also spacious, and people can walk upright there, and the place to store goods is also spacious.

But to be honest, there was only a piece of green reed there before, how could there be an extra boat, or a big fishing boat?

When Ju Fei saw it, his scalp was so frightened that it flew away, he grabbed Zhang Zhong's sleeve, and shouted: "Daoist! Look, there are more ghost ships!"
