If he remembered correctly, Jin Bayi had said that this woman was called Fu Shi, and that she was also on the List of Beauties.
She was beautiful, but unfortunately, she was like a ferocious beast that could not be reasoned with.
Yan Li felt that a woman shouldn't be so fierce. No matter how beautiful she was, he wouldn't buy it. So even though he vaguely sensed that the swindler might be "Ku Daoshi," he was too lazy to tell her.
"I don't know." He turned his head and walked away.
Fu Shi was furious and was about to kill him, but feeling the monk's hateful gaze behind her, she suppressed her anger.
Yan Li sneered inwardly. With that Buddha around, even a female Asura like her wouldn't dare act rashly.
But speaking of Buddha, he thought of the Great Master Pu Shu. Could this monk be the Great Master's descendant?
Where was the Prajna Buddha Diagram that was known as the Little Pu Shu?
This thought only flashed through his mind.
He followed the flow of people to the port outside the city. To his surprise, the female Asura followed him.
Yan Li didn't panic. It was still early, so he strolled around the port.
This was a very well-organized port. A large plank road about ten paces wide stretched straight ahead, leading to the Ji River ahead. Seven or eight forks extended on both sides, forming a dock. It was still early, so there were a few merchant ships that were neither too big nor too small.
In fact, the Cao Gang didn't monopolize the transportation. Some merchant ships would rather travel slowly than spend more money. Some were small gangs that cooperated with the Cao Gang. The Cao Gang was responsible for shipping, providing maintenance and other services, while the small gangs provided manual labor. They belonged to a community of mutual benefit.
Apart from the small gangs, most merchant guilds chose to cooperate with the Cao Gang. That was why the Cao Gang was so powerful. It could be said that out of ten ships on the river, nine belonged to the Cao Gang.
The Cao Gang's ships were easy to recognize. One reason was that they had markings. If it was a merchant ship operated by the Cao Gang, it would have a shark-like mark carved on the hull. Another reason was that their hulls were different from ordinary ones.
For example, the ship that Yan Li wanted to board was a black merchant ship that looked like a warship. The bow of the ship was very narrow and seemed a bit sharp, suitable for cutting through waves. Its hull was also very wide and could store a lot of things.
On the surface, it did not look any different from an ordinary ship.
For example, Yan Li didn't see any talismans or anything like that.
But without asking, it must have been hidden by the Cao Clan themselves. The shipbuilding technology that was related to their survival and status, it was absolutely impossible for it to be leaked.
The ship he wanted to board just happened to be the Cao Clan's own ship.
The boatman was a black-bearded boorish man with a chimney in his mouth. He wore a dark red mandarin jacket and a scarf around his waist. His belly was bulging.
"Pay up and enter the cabin. Gold Sun Direct Boat. One hundred and twenty taels per person. Don't talk nonsense with me."
Blackbeard inhaled a mouthful of smoke and puffed it out, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth. Then, he shouted at the people waiting to board the ship.
When Yan Li was almost done, he carefully boarded the boat.
At this moment, he heard a sneer. "Can this kid do it or not? He's just sitting on a boat. Look at how scared he is."
Everyone burst into laughter.
Most of these people were seventeen or eighteen years old young people who were ready to see the world. Their youthful faces were full of vigor and ambition, and they had a vision for the future.
Yan Li was too lazy to argue with them. After boarding the boat, he took out one hundred and twenty taels and handed it to Blackbeard.
Blackbeard glanced at him. "What's your name?"
Yan Li frowned. "Do we need to report our identity to board a ship? When did the Cao Clan set this rule? "
Blackbeard sneered. "So you still know the rules. Then behave yourself and don't cause trouble. Otherwise, don't blame me for not warning you if you get thrown off the boat."
Yan Li sneered inwardly. His expression did not change as he walked to the side.
The humidity outside was too heavy. He was not used to it, so he followed the boatman into the cabin.
One hundred and twenty taels of heaven black stone was still valuable. There was a double room. Not long after entering the room, he unexpectedly saw that Ku Daoshi also came down with the little girl.
He did not notice him before, but he did not expect him to also board the ship.
He did not know if the female Asura was here, but judging from the Taoist's calm appearance, she should not be here.
At this moment, another person came down. It was the young man who laughed at him just now.
The young man looked to be about nineteen years old. His skin was dark and he looked sturdy. He walked to Yan Li's cabin and chuckled. "Brother, I was just joking with you just now. You're not angry, are you?"
Yan Li shook his head lightly. He lay on the couch and closed his eyes to rest.
The young man said, "Brother, since you're not angry, don't be so cold. My name is Wang Qianfan. This is the name my father gave me. He hoped that I would be able to turn the book forward. Don't you think it's very meaningful? Hahaha … "
He laughed as if there was no one else around.
Yan Li said, "Why don't you call yourself Wang Bizhui?"
Wang Qianfan asked curiously, "Why do you have to chase after victory?"
Yan Li rolled his eyes. "I told you to shut up."
At this moment, the ship suddenly shook.
"We're about to set sail." Wang Qianfan grinned. "Brother, aren't you going to take a look? I think it's your first time on a ship. "
Of course, Yan Li wanted to take a look. He was very curious about how the ship sailed.
When he came to the deck, he suddenly frowned. There seemed to be more people on the deck than before.
A few young men saw Wang Qianfan coming out and called out to him. "Qianfan, come here. I have good news for you."
Wang Qianfan was immediately attracted. "What good news?"
One of the young men said excitedly, "It's said that Jinyang City is recruiting constables."
"Really?" Wang Qianfan was also excited. "I've wanted to be a constable since I was young …"
Yan Li was too lazy to listen to their chatter. After the ship shook slightly, it began to sail toward the channel.
After entering the main channel, the ship flowed with the current.
Suddenly, there was a slight vibration at the bottom of the ship. He felt the bow of the ship become blurred.
No, it was not the bow that became blurred. It was the void that touched the narrow bow that suddenly rippled.
Then, it was as if he had crashed into a different space. Suddenly, the world changed.
When he looked closely, he could not help but be shocked. The space that appeared now was actually the opposite of everything.
The water was flowing backward. The ship had turned upside down at some point. The people on the deck were also facing the port.
When he looked down, wasn't it the Spirit River that he had seen in Savage Valley?
However, the Spirit River back then only had a part of the water. But here, the whole thing was reversed. It looked magical and unbelievable.
The ship was flowing backward at high speed. In the blink of an eye, there was only a small black dot left in the port. However, the ship did not give off any strange phenomenon. He did not sense any energy fluctuation either.
Could it be that his cultivation was not enough?
With this question in mind, he returned to the cabin.
Wang Qianfan actually followed him back. He closed the cabin door and said with a smile, "Brother, do you want to know how the ship sailed?"
