The morning sun rose.
On the official road, Teng Qingshan's caravan of a few hundred people was slowly advancing. The merchants and guards were also chatting along the way.
"I left Jiangning. I don't know when I can return."
Teng Qingshan sighed in his heart.
This place was already out of Jiangning County. It was more than six hundred Li away from the Great Yan Mountain. Last night, Teng Qingshan quietly passed through the underground lake and escaped from the encirclement. He also dug out the buried Splitting Mountain Axe. Afterwards, he left the Great Yan Mountain and rushed towards the north. With Teng Qingshan's speed, he arrived at Huafeng City in the middle of the night.
He leaped into Huafeng City. There were many things in this city.
Teng Qingshan changed his appearance completely. At the same time, he stole an old Yellow Mane Horse in Huafeng City. Teng Qingshan carried the Yellow Mane Horse and leaped over the walls of Huafeng City in the middle of the night. Afterwards, he carried the Yellow Mane Horse and used his Qing Gong to gallop two hundred Li. Finally, he leisurely rode the Yellow Mane Horse for more than thirty Li and arrived at an inn at the border of Jiangning County.
After eating a sumptuous breakfast in the inn, the sky brightened.
There were too many merchants. When they all woke up, there weren't many tables in the inn. There were also a few people who squeezed at the same table as Teng Qingshan. Teng Qingshan also generously treated them to a meal. After a few times, they became familiar with each other.
"Brother Qin Wei, looking at you, you should be thirty this year, right? Until now, I still don't know which one of us is older. "The rough man riding the Cyan Mane Horse said.
"Thirty-six." Teng Qingshan smiled and said, "Old Zhang, what about you?"
"Brother Qin Wei, you are one year older than me. I am thirty-five this year. " The rough man smiled and said, "However, in these ten years, I have been exposed to the wind and rain. Being exposed to the sun and wind, I look old. Brother Qin Wei, although you look like a northerner, you are only thirty and look younger than me. "
A bearded young man came over on horseback and said, "Old Zhang, this Qin is an inner force expert. Of course he looks young."
"Hei Zi." Old Zhang laughed. "Look at you, you're only 22! He looks about the same age as me. But my eldest son is already twenty. So Hei Zi … shave off that beard of yours. "
"That won't do. My Ah Hua loves my big beard the most." The youth named 'Blackie' glared at him.
Teng Qingshan laughed and said, "Old Zhang, don't say anymore. It was easy to be bullied when one was young. Blackie's' Big Beard 'has its benefits. "
"Listen, Qin is so reasonable." Blackie smiled proudly.
"But Qin." Blackie lowered his voice and said, "If you travel alone from Yangzhou to Yanzhou, the journey will be nearly ten thousand kilometers. It was very dangerous! You may have martial arts, but this journey of tens of thousands of miles is using your life to earn money! Qin … I think you should find a short-distance business to do. "
Teng Qingshan sighed, "In this world, if you don't risk your life, it will be hard to survive! This time, I will risk it. If I succeed, everyone will have a place to live for the rest of their lives! "
"If you travel alone, it will be nearly ten thousand kilometers. If you can earn money, it will be worth dozens of trips. " Old Zhang sighed, "But I don't have your ability. I can only travel between Yangzhou and Qingzhou. We are familiar with this route and have confidence. If I was young and had no worries, I'm afraid I could also be like you, Brother Qin Wei, running tens of thousands of miles to earn a fortune! In this world, if you don't risk your life, it will be hard to earn money! "
"Yes, it will be hard." Blackie also sighed.
It wasn't easy to do business either.
If it was within the borders of Yangzhou, it would be good to earn twenty to thirty percent of the profit from the business between the counties.
But traveling between Qingzhou and Yangzhou and choosing the right goods, one could earn sixty to seventy percent of the profit.
For example, from the southernmost Yangzhou to the northernmost Yanzhou. A journey of ten thousand kilometers was indeed using one's life to earn money. However, the distance was long. For example, the price of illicit salt, tea bricks, and other goods would be ten times different! If it was between Yangzhou and the northernmost Great Prairie, the price difference would be dozens of times!
Because the big tribes of the Great Prairie fought, it was too chaotic. Merchants were easy to be robbed! This kind of extremely profitable business, if one could make a deal, they would have a place to live for the rest of their lives.
In this world, as long as they could earn big money, people would risk their lives.
The role Teng Qingshan played now was a merchant who knew some inner strength and traveled alone. Those who dared to travel alone usually had some skills. Otherwise, they would be courting death.
"This time, I am lucky to be able to travel with Old Zhang to Qingzhou. At least this part of the road is safer. "Teng Qingshan smiled.
*****
The largest lake in Yangzhou was Green Lake.
Green Lake was vast and had a circumference of ten Li. In the center of Green Lake, there was an island with a circumference of forty to fifty Li, Qing Hu Island. Qing Hu Island, one of the eight Supreme Sects of the Nine Prefectures, was located here! Many boats could be seen on Green Lake because there were many people coming and going from the shore of the lake and the island.
Therefore, there were many boats.
"Boatman, push the boat to the island."
A young man and woman boarded the boat.
"Okay!" The woodcutter rowed the oar.
"Martial Brother, did you hear? Last night, the Silver Dragon Army returned to the island." The heroic girl said, "I don't know what the result of the Silver Dragon Army's expedition was … … Previously, it was said that the army of Qing Hu Island was stationed in the Great Yan Mountain of Yi City for Emperor Yu's Treasure. I don't know if there was really treasure and what the result was. "
"I know. My father is the commander of the Silver Dragon Army. I just got the news last night."
The blue cloaked young man shook his head and sighed, "This time, many people of Qing Hu Island died. It is said that over ten thousand Silver Dragon soldiers died! As for Emperor Yu's Treasure, it is said that it is the cauldron that contains the Elixir of the North Sea. However, it seems that no one got the cauldron. "
"Over ten thousand people? How is that possible? "The girl was shocked," Even if dozens of innate experts went to kill, there wouldn't be so many deaths. "
"It was a powerful demonic beast, a very powerful demonic beast. Even many Law Enforcing Elders died. "The blue cloaked young man said softly.
… …
Currently, there were many discussions about the Great Yan Mountain in Qing Hu Island. Because a large number of Silver Dragon soldiers had returned, the news spread quickly.
In the Dragon Bolt Pavilion of Qing Hu Island.
Gu Yong, dressed in an earthy gray long cloak, sat cross-legged. In front of him, eight people sat cross-legged. Zhao Danchen was among them!
Qing Hu Island had a total of 21 innate experts, but this time, 12 of them died! Only the nine innate experts of the Dragon Bolt Pavilion were left. Among these nine, Zhao Danchen only had one arm.
"Abdicate? Island Lord! You just took over the position of Island Lord not long ago. Abdicating now? No, definitely not. " A golden-haired man said hastily. This time, Qing Hu Island left a total of seven innate experts to guard Qing Hu Island. Among them, two were Golden Dan Innate Experts and five were Hollow Dan Innate Experts.
They were all young, and because of their great potential, they stayed behind.
"Island Lord, you can't be blamed for the loss this time. Island Lord, let's not talk about abdicating. "The one who spoke was another Golden Dan Innate Expert, a short and fat middle-aged man.
"Junior Martial Brother, Eldest Martial Brother, you two don't need to talk about it. This time, Qing Hu Island suffered a great loss. As the Island Lord, I can't absolve myself from the blame." Gu Yong said indifferently, "Qing Hu Island has lost more than half of its innate experts. We need to rest and build up our strength. We don't need to fight again. With my temperament, I'm not suitable to lead Qing Hu Island. "
"As for the new Island Lord, it will be either Junior Martial Brother or Eldest Martial Brother. Of course, I will report this to the Grand Supreme Elder and let him decide." Gu Yong said. Among the Golden Dan Innate Experts of Qing Hu Island, there were four who were below the age of one hundred. Other than Junior Martial Sister Gu Yong who died, the other three were still alive. Among these three, one was Gu Yong, and the other two were the two in front of him.
Gu Yong made a decision, and no one could disobey.
Then, Gu Yong left the Dragon Bolt Pavilion and went to the Edge of Sword Mountain alone.
Qing Hu Island, the Edge of Sword Mountain!
It was one of the forbidden areas of Qing Hu Island. Even the core disciples were not allowed to step on the Edge of Sword Mountain. Anyone who disobeyed would have their martial arts crippled and be expelled from Qing Hu Island. Only the Law Enforcing Elder and the Island Lord had the right to enter the Edge of Sword Mountain.
Gu Yong was wearing an earthy gray long robe as he walked on the mountain path.
His face was expressionless.
After a long time — —
Gu Yong arrived at the peak of the Edge of Sword Mountain. On the peak of the mountain, there were no other buildings except for a stone house. However, this stone house was covered in cobwebs. It was obvious that no one had lived in it for a long time. In front of the stone house, there was a life-like human-shaped stone statue.
Gu Yong walked beside the stone statue and immediately knelt down with a 'bang'. He lowered his head and said, "Martial Ancestor, Yong is guilty!"
"Crack ~ ~"
Cracks suddenly appeared on the surface of the stone statue. Immediately, it turned into dust. With a gust of wind, the dust was blown away. A black clothed figure sitting cross-legged was revealed. His eyes were closed, and his hair was completely silvery white. His face was expressionless as if it was carved from stone.
"Sorry for disturbing Martial Ancestor's meditation." Gu Yong said while kneeling.
Gu Yong knew that this Heavenly Eyes Swordmaster, also known as the Blind Swordmaster, had been meditating for a long time. He never drank a drop of water or ate anything.
As the black clothed Blind Swordmaster sat there, the entire sky seemed to darken.
Facing the Blind Swordmaster, Gu Yong felt as if he was facing the entire world!
"Yong, is it about the Great Yan Mountain?" The Blind Swordmaster said indifferently with his eyes closed.
"Yes." Gu Yong said in a deep voice, "Martial Brother should have told Martial Ancestor about it. However, Martial Ancestor didn't reply a few days ago. Yong knows that … Martial Ancestor doesn't want to destroy the Gui Yuan Sect. "When he was in the Great Yan Mountain, Gu Yong had ordered someone to send a message to Qing Hu Island and told the Grand Supreme Elder.
However, the Blind Swordmaster didn't care.
Gu Yong then understood that the Grand Supreme Elder didn't want to waste Qing Hu Island's strength. After all, Qing Hu Island wasn't Gu Yong's Qing Hu Island. It was the Qing Hu Island that was built by generations of disciples with their blood, sweat, and tears!
"How many Law Enforcing Elders died?" The Blind Swordmaster asked indifferently.
"Twelve!" Gu Yong felt nervous.
"Tell me everything in detail!" The Blind Swordmaster's voice pierced Gu Yong's heart like a sharp sword. Gu Yong's heart trembled. Although he was the Sovereign, the Grand Supreme Elder who almost never left the Edge of Sword Mountain was the one in charge of the entire Qing Hu Island!
Gu Yong immediately told the Blind Swordmaster everything from beginning to end respectfully.
"That's what happened." Gu Yong said respectfully.
