Chapter 17: Red Mandarin Duck

Gao Xian changed into a dark Taoist robe that looked much more respectable, and the wooden hairpin in the Taoist bun on his head was also replaced by a jade one. However, the Taoist marks between his eyebrows were hidden. Apart from looking better, he looked just like a

An ordinary Taoist priest.

After all, it can be said that it is similar in other places. It is not uncommon for Taoist priests to wander around the world. Counting all kinds of cures and fortune-telling, there are even more wandering Taoist priests. But the mark between the eyebrows is too obvious. In Gongzhou, the Sword Immortal's

The rumors spread so widely that you would know who he was at a glance.

"You stupid donkey is so good at eating. Even I, the Immortal, have been depleted by you." Immortal Kongchen weighed his money bag, which had shrunk to the extreme.

"Look at the Qinglong Protector, I have never worried about this great immortal." Looking at him, he seemed to feel that the donkey had gained weight again.

Donkey looked at Immortal Kongchen's brand new cloud-patterned robe, then at the exquisite jade hairpin and jade pendant, and finally looked down at the Zuixian brew worth twenty taels of silver hanging on his body.

Didn't dare mention it.

General Donkey defended: "Great Immortal! The one who carries your luggage and you every day is a little donkey, and the one who works hard and does not complain is also a little donkey."

"Then the Qinglong still wants you to hold it, the Great Immortal. How can this be the same?"

The donkey general's name is Qu Liantian.

"If you want the donkey to run away, but also want the donkey to stop eating grass, how is this possible?"

"Great Immortal, please keep your eyes peeled to see clearly who is most loyal to you."

Kong Chenzi looked down at the cunning donkey, and he learned the Chunqiu calligraphy very quickly by ignoring the important points: "Is that the grass you eat? You have eaten all the good food on the table, and you still look at the wine? Yesterday

I remember I only drank half of the pot, where is the remaining half?"

General Donkey suddenly looked around and talked about him, looking irrational and weak.

"Maybe it was sprinkled on the ground."

At this time, at the corner of the river in the distance, I heard the sound of rushing water, like thousands of horses galloping.

"Look, it's a river! Daxian, we can see the river."

I worked my way up the town along the Lingshui River, living in the best rooms, eating the most expensive food, and drinking the best wine. I finally saw the main vein of the river, which was quite shocking.

The river is so wide that there is no boundary.

One person and one donkey were very excited and walked forward.

I saw thousands of miles of waves, thousands of sails competing on the river surface, and white waves rolling under the boats. The vastness only showed the development of this water-lined trade route.

After the beginning of spring, this waterway, which has been stagnant all winter, can't wait to start operating at full capacity. For merchants, what is running on this river is not ships, but mountains of gold and silver.

The city in the distance was built on only three sides. It was the county seat of Wendong County. One side faced the river. Gao Xian had no intention of entering and staying, and went straight to the dock.

Only in Wendong County are there boats to Jiangting County.

Jiangting County is the capital of Jiangzhou and the intersection of Lingjiang River and Jingshi Canal. Just by looking at this, you can know how important and prosperous Jiangting County is.

However, Jiangting is the most famous place for scholars and fireworks. If businessmen and travelers from other countries come to Zhou Dynasty, they don’t need to go to the capital, but they must go to Jiangting to experience the fireworks of Zhou Dynasty.

Gao Xian found a tooth shop at the dockside to help him find a boat to Jiangting.

"There are no boats specifically going to Jiangting in the past two days. We have to wait for a few days." The Yaren were dressed more decently, which was in sharp contrast to the coolies on the dock.

"But if you are in a hurry, sir, there is a ship chartered by Xishan Academy and it is parked here. It is also going to Jiangzhou. I can help make peace. As for whether it will succeed or not, I don't know.

."

Just as Gao Xian agreed, another person hurriedly broke into Yahang, running out of breath.

"Is there a boat to Jiangting County? I want it today, right away."

A woman was dressed in gray and looked like a servant or a servant. The little hat on her head didn't fit well and looked a bit ridiculous. She was carrying a large wooden box on her back, which was quite heavy and made her panting.

He also held a sword in his hand, but it looked like a piece of scrap metal.

This feels extremely weird, like a charlatan? Like a merchant? But it feels like nothing at all.

Seeing the tools pushed out of the box, Gao Xian suddenly realized: "This is a juggler."

A smile also appeared on Yaren's face. It seemed that this trip could earn two people money.

He told this woman what he had just said to Gao Xian, and then went out to make arrangements.

The woman carrying the wooden box finally sat down to take a breath, and then she saw a Taoist priest sitting beside her, and more importantly, leading a donkey.

The woman suddenly stood up in fright, but after carefully looking at it, she found that Gao Xian's eyebrows were blank, and she let out a long breath.

"Human?" Although he was no longer afraid, he did not let go of his vigilance.

"Traveling Taoist priests treat people, tell fortunes, and earn some money to go back and build a golden body for the Taoist priest and repair Taoist temples." Gao Xian answered honestly, with a harmless look on his face.

"That means you don't know martial arts? Are you not a martial arts person?" The woman suddenly puffed up her chest with pride, as if telling Gao Xian that she was a martial arts person with extraordinary martial arts skills.

"I have never practiced martial arts before, and this is my first time going down the mountain." Gao Xian answered honestly. He was indeed a newbie and had never practiced martial arts before, or there was no need to practice.

"Are you going to Jiangting too?" He lowered his guard and the woman became familiar with him.

"I heard that Jiangting is rich and want to see it," Gao Xian said.

The woman seemed to have a lot of experience: "Yes, there are many rich people in Jiangting. You, a Taoist priest, are quite good at selling. After you go there, as long as you can speak eloquently, you will definitely make a lot of money."

This girl sat there for a while and couldn't help it anymore. She must be a chatterbox, or she may have late-stage ADHD.

She held the broken copper and iron sword, looked at Gao Xian's outfit, shook her head and clicked her tongue.

"Little Taoist priest, you are still too immature for your first time down the mountain!"

"I would like to ask the master to give me some advice." Gao Xian was filled with enthusiasm.

The girl seemed to like being a teacher, and she said directly in a tone of someone who had experienced it: "Do you know what is the most important thing about being in the world?"

Before Gao Xian could say anything, the girl slapped her hands and said, "It's something deeply hidden."

The girl has a long look in her eyes.

"As long as you don't show your trump card, others won't dare to act rashly, and you will be able to defeat others without fighting."

"Whoever reveals his trump card first will lose."

After saying that, he looked at Gao Xian with a look of disgust.

"Look at you, you are dressed so well and your hairpin is made of jade. This outfit must be worth a lot of money, right?"

"Those robbers and demons on the road will be targeting you right away."

The woman didn't know that Gao Xian was eager to meet a robber on the road, so he specially dressed up like this fat sheep.

However, he couldn't say that at this time, so Gao Xian could only nod his head as if he suddenly understood.

"oh!"

"Live and learn!"

Gao Xian was not in a good mood to talk, but the girl's enthusiasm for being a teacher was aroused.

The girl pointed at her own outfit, which meant that she had put in a lot of effort to dress up and show off her experience.

"You must learn from me. Only if your wealth is not wasted and your sword is not unsheathed can you live a long life."

"Thank you brother for reminding me, I will change it later."

The girl was filled with joy, having saved another newbie in the world, but she didn't see the donkey behind her looking at her speechlessly.

General Donkey thought to himself: "Whose family does this silly girl belong to? What should I do if I encounter someone who is a robber or a demon?"

"Is he still alive when someone from the evil path or the demonic path encounters him?"

At this time, the Yaman came back.

"The people from Xishan Academy who chartered the boat want to meet you two. After all, the people on board are all students from the academy. It's normal for them to have some concerns."

Following Yaren to the pier, when we got on the boat, we saw many students wearing long gowns and hats walking over and looking at Gao Xian and the other two.

They went to Jiangzhou to meet people from other academies. It was also a major event every year. It had nothing to do with the academies and was just a private exchange between students.

It has to be said that being good-looking has some advantages, which made the faces of these Xishan Academy students relax.

This is a natural disguise. Most people seem to think that good-looking people cannot be bad people.
