Chapter 86 Six-toed sixth child

   Before setting off for Yunxuezong, Ji Que made a lot of preparations, such as maps, dry food, clothes, and how to keep his bank notes.

  In short, I made up my mind to go.

  Since Ning Hongyu brought the 8,000 taels of silver notes, Ji Que's situation of being overwhelmed has been resolved, and the remaining part of the Qianji Sword has been completed, leaving only 6,000 taels of silver.

   It is equivalent to saying that his sword cost him a total of six thousand taels of silver because of some special materials and craftsmanship.

  Thinking about it now, Ji Que couldn't help but feel pain in his heart. He had the illusion that there was a mouse hole in his clothes, and he kept taking money from him.

   It can only be said that the work of a practitioner always costs money. He just made a simple sword. How can there be an illusion of playing with a watch or a car, or an otaku playing with a figure?

As for the bank notes and title deeds hidden deep in the cellar, Ji Que was still a little worried, and couldn't help complaining to Lin Xiangzhi during the meal: "Oh, I really don't like money, and I don't like money when I have money." happy.

  Thinking back now, the happiest thing was when I was a poor scholar and my family turned over and over for less than ten taels of silver. "

  Lin Xiangori didn't want to pay attention to him, and looked at him with contemptuous eyes.

  On the same day, Ji Que packed his luggage and took Lin Xiangzhi out the door.

   One person and one cat followed the Qingyun River to Xichengmen Wharf.

  According to the route, it is most convenient for them to go to Yunxuezong by boat.

  At this time, it was already afternoon, misty mist appeared on the broad river surface, and there was only one passenger boat going to Yunshanzong at the pier.

  Yunxuezong is a well-known practice place in the Northland, occupying a blessed place in the cave, with a profound heritage.

   If you take the dry road, it will take you four days on a fast horse, but if you take the water road, you can reach the shallow rocky beach in front of Yunxuezong in two days and two nights.

   Ji Que didn't like riding horses in the first place, and he was in a state of accumulating understanding, so he resolutely chose to take a boat.

   This big ship, it won't be crippled, right?

   There are about twenty guests on this boat, and most of them are chicly dressed in feather fan scarves.

  Ji Que is not surprised either. According to the file information, the tenth day of this month is the day when Yun Xuezong recruits people.

   But it is not the disciples who are recruited, but the handymen.

  These people are so exquisitely dressed, it is obvious that they are there for the sake of immortality.

  Yunxuezong is a holy place for practice, and there are all handsome men and beautiful women, senior brothers and sisters. I don’t know how many people are fascinated.

  Many young masters and young ladies are willing to work as handymen, not only because of the hope of gaining a handyman to become a disciple, but also because even the handyman of the sect has a much higher status than ordinary people.

   What Mrs. Bai said before is correct. The status of a monk of a famous sect in this great dynasty is by no means comparable to that of a scholar.

  So, everyone on this ship can be regarded as competitors.

  Because of his handsome appearance, Ji Que made these people wary as soon as he boarded the boat.

   As we all know, Yun Xuezong attaches great importance to a person's appearance.

  Among them, the two sons with the most outstanding looks secretly glanced at Ji Que, and they both had the feeling of "this son's appearance is no less than mine."

   No, after looking at it for a while, I couldn't help but secretly said in surprise: "This kid's appearance is actually a little better than mine."

  When they got to the back, they didn't dare to look any more, for fear that their Dao Xin would be affected.

  At this time, the big ship slowly moved.

  Ji Que did not go to the cabin to rest, but stood on the deck to watch the scenery.

  Growing so big, it was the first time for him to sit in such a big boat.

  Before departure, the captain of the boat took out a pig's head as usual, put a joss stick in it, worshiped the river god, and prayed for a smooth journey.

  As a result, as soon as the worship was completed, the sail was raised, and a muffled bang was heard hitting the deck.

  I saw a dead eagle at the feet of the last scholar on board. The blood was all over the floor, and two drops even splashed on the scholar's clothes.

  Ji Que looked at this scene, and murmured, "What bad luck. What is this, Syrian eagle?"

   Everyone couldn't help but look at him strangely, but he pretended not to see it.

   The eagle fell off the deck and died, what does it have to do with me?

  The eagle that fell to death was quickly disposed of by the terrified boatman, and the blood on the deck was washed away quickly.

   Until the eagle was thrown into the river and washed away, Ji Que regretted it for a while.

   This eagle meat does not know what it tastes like when it is roasted.

  As the hull swayed slightly, the big ship pulled anchor and set sail.

  When I first came out of Tianren City, the river level was gentle, and there were towns built on both sides of Tianren City. Buildings and fields interlaced, and people working hard in the fields by the river could often be seen, like splash-ink paintings full of life.

  Just as the big ship sailed, the scenery on both sides of the strait gradually became desolate, the gentle hills turned into cold peaks, and there were occasional buildings in the mountains and forests, all of which had a sense of precipitousness among the cliffs.

  The river became more and more turbulent, and the dark current washed over the hull and the shore, and the rolled up waves were like white snow.

  Ji Que stood on the deck with the river breeze blowing, a little proud and a little happy.

  Every time I go out, it is like exploring an unknown map while playing a game, full of thrills and excitement.

  Man, he is born with a gene for adventure, but this kind of adventure needs to be maintained at a certain level, at least not delaying his enjoyment of food and life.

  At this time, the water ahead became more and more turbulent, and the cliffs on the river bank were getting closer.

   Several times, Ji Que felt that the edge of the ship was passing by the cliff.

  The hull of the ship was rippling more and more violently, and some well-dressed young men and women had already started to vomit from seasickness, and their faces looked distressed.

  Ji Que is fine, his feet seem to be glued to the deck, rising and falling with the hull of the boat.

  At this moment, an old man with bare arms came to the deck and asked the man at the helm to drive away.

  Ji Que soon discovered something very interesting, that is, the old man has six toes on his right foot.

  Six toes palm boat, this talent, this hardware, is almost the same as my own study, and I was born to eat this bowl of rice.

  The continuous rippling of the hull caused a burst of complaints and strange screams from the cabin.

  Like the young men and women here, they seldom take a boat.

   After a while, as soon as the old man started, the boat quickly stabilized.

   Soon, a boatman reassured: "Guests, don't panic, it's just a little undercurrent, and it's all over."

  Ji Que found out later that the old man called himself "Lu Lao Liu" and was the real boss of the ship.

  As the big ship moved forward, Ji Que felt more and more that the old six was really smooth sailing the boat. Under such turbulent water, although the big ship shook, it was not violent.

   Especially when encountering a bend in the river, it actually gives people a smooth feeling of drifting and cornering.

  It was dusk at this time, and there were bursts of ape sounds from the mountains and forests on both sides of the river.

  When we got here, there were almost no traces of people on both sides of the strait.

  As the sky got darker, lights were quickly hung on the bow and stern of the ship.

  The light of the lamp is reflected in the dark river, and the whole river cannot see other fires, which makes people feel lonely involuntarily.

At this time, Ji Que noticed a detail, that is, there is a human figure engraved on the outside of the lantern, which looks very similar to the Buddha in the temple, but the carving technique is a bit rough, so that the Buddha's face is blurred, giving people a gloomy look feeling.

  So he couldn't help asking: "Master Liu, what is that engraved on your lamp?"

  Lu Lao Liu glanced at it, and said with a strong accent: "It's the Lantern Shadow Buddha, who wards off evil spirits."

  Ji Que raised his eyebrows, and said, "Repelling evil spirits? Have any of you running the boat encountered any strange things?"

  Lu Lao Liu took a puff of dry tobacco and said, "After so many years, how could we meet a little bit?"

  Ji Que became interested all of a sudden, and said, "Anyway, idleness is idleness, you always tell me, let me learn more."

  He likes to listen to stories, but the white cat Lin Xiangori has already jumped aside, looking at him with weird eyes.

  On the river at night, what's wrong with this man, let people tell ghost stories.

  Lu Laoliu rolled up his sleeves and said, "Okay, since you are idle anyway, then talk to the young master, and the young master should not take it to heart."

  The hull of the ship shook slightly, and the light from the lights reflected on Lu Lao Liu's face, flickering on and off for a while.

  The shadow of the Buddha lamp reflected on the deck was also distorted for a moment, giving it a hideous taste.
