Chapter 205 Carrying Grandpa
Chapter 205 Carrying Grandpa
Huhu~
The night breeze blew gently across the river, creating slight ripples.
"The Pingjiang Grand Canal will benefit future generations!"
The moonlight was bright. Yu Xuanji was leaning on the railing of a merchant ship and looking out. In the night, she could also see merchant ships going downstream.
The Pingjiang Grand Canal directly runs through two provinces, six states and twenty-one prefectures, and radiates to even more states and prefectures.
The waterway is like the lifeline, connecting various provinces and cities. It can be said that the fact that the Dayun Dynasty unified 19 provinces for more than a thousand years was also closely related to this Grand Canal.
Before Dayun, no other dynasty had been able to unify the 19 states for such a long period of time.
"I heard that when this river was being excavated, all the land gods took part?"
On the deck, Yu Xuanfeng slowly clenched his fist, sweat steaming from his whole body.
"Except for that Great Fortune Grandmaster, no one else can command those great masters to dig the river."
Yu Xuanji nodded, feeling a little emotional.
The rivers have changed, the mountains have been moved, and the grandeur of the Pingjiang Grand Canal also demonstrates the strength of the country at that time.
Only those who have mastered the art of marrow refining and gathered yin and yang can be called a master. This is already the best in a state, a big figure who controls the livelihoods of millions of people.
Not to mention the Grand Master?
Grand masters in every dynasty are like gods on earth, and are the founders of various schools.
Apart from the four hundred years when Taizu was in power, who else could have controlled it?
"It's really pitiful to be in the same generation as that Great Fortune Ancestor. What kind of figures are the ancestors of each family? They actually want to dig a river."
Yu Xuanfeng shook his head. He had no desire for this. He wiped the sweat off his body.
"Sister, who exactly is Wang Wenyuan? How could he convince my uncle-master? Could it be that my uncle-master really wants to accept a disciple?"
Long Xixiang is one of the people with the best aptitude, the best comprehension, and the highest martial arts skills in the past three hundred years of Longhu Temple, except for the founder Long Yingchan.
The last time he accepted a disciple was decades ago, and the next time he accepted one, it would be to follow his legacy.
Once he accepts a disciple, it is bound to shock the world.
"Wang Wenyuan should be a pseudonym. There is no such person among the masters in the world. But the letter said that he traveled to the imperial capital with his great-grandmaster uncle. So, this person is really extraordinary..."
Yu Xuanji's eyes flickered.
She remembered that her great-uncle had been seriously injured when he ventured into the imperial capital. Even with the help of the master, he still hadn't recovered for decades.
The injury was so severe that even his supernatural powers and rejuvenation could not completely eliminate it.
"As for whether the great-grandmaster will accept a disciple, how can we speculate? However, after the news spread, it is said that many brothers in the sect were alarmed and came out of seclusion."
Walking on the deck and admiring the night view, Yu Xuanji looked a little subtle: "Who knows, someone might be on their way here."
"This……"
Yu Xuanfeng was a little suspicious: "Sister, could it be that you spread the news?"
"How could I do such a thing?"
Yu Xuanji glared at her stupid brother and said, "Since this is related to my great-grandmaster, the only ones who dare to leak it are those few people..."
“Those few.”
Yu Xuanfeng was suddenly shocked: "Are those people still talking about the mantle of their great master?"
"Master's uncle is only one step away from becoming a land immortal. If it weren't for his flaws in rejuvenation, he might have already become one. Who would be willing to give up his inheritance if there's a chance?"
Yu Xuanji glanced at the wavering Yu Xuanfeng and warned:
"Don't let your imagination run wild. You're not qualified to do that..."
"The mantle of Zen Master Fulong."
Yu Xuanfeng looked yearning, but also a little dissatisfied: "I don't have the qualifications, but they do, but the master uncle still won't pass it on to them!"
Those true disciples were all extremely talented, but that might not be the case for his great uncle.
His great uncle had an unparalleled physique, born with the form of thirteen spirit dragons and extraordinary talent. Before he was fifty, he had already changed into hundreds of forms. It took him another twenty years to master yin and yang and become a master.
If he had not been injured by the Tao, he would have been an immortal on earth long ago.
In the eyes of these people, there might be no difference between him and his true brothers.
"Don't even think about things you shouldn't covet."
Yu Xuanji frowned slightly and changed the subject: "Has the information from Yunshu Tower been delivered?"
"not yet."
Yu Xuanfeng took out a letter from his bosom: "My senior brother from the Patrol Hall did send me a letter about Li Yuan."
"Why didn't you give it to me earlier?"
Yu Xuanji snatched the letter away.
"Li Yuan was born in a poor family in Gaoliu County. He should have an eight-shaped small dragon-shaped root bone. After the White Ape Cloak Hammer reached perfection, his root bone changed and became a dragon-shaped root bone..."
"He has a talent for forging, and is highly regarded by the elders of the Weapon Casting Valley, Jing Shuhu and Lei Jingchuan..."
"It's been less than a year since I started, and I've already become strong. Under Lei Jingchuan's guidance, I can create a top-grade famous instrument..."
After reading the letter, Yu Xuanji raised her eyebrows slightly: "Hammer genius?"
"You have good aptitude and understanding, so you are qualified to enter the temple, but you are not qualified to inherit the mantle of your great-grandmaster."
Yu Xuanfeng had already read the letter:
"The letter did not mention Wang Wenyuan, which shows that he is quite secretive. I wonder if Yun Shulou knows any information about him."
"He is a beginner in martial arts, but he was able to practice the White Ape Cloak Hammer to perfection within a year. This person's comprehension is better than yours."
Yu Xuanji pondered for a while, and when she looked up, she saw an eagle flying through the air.
"Information from Yunshu Tower is here!"
Yu Xuanfeng moved his feet and caught the eagle feather in his hand. He took out the letter, but before he could read it, Yu Xuanji snatched it away.
"Don't grab it, I haven't seen it yet!"
Yu Xuanfeng stamped his feet, but he couldn't snatch the letter from his elder sister, so he had to wait until she finished reading it before taking it.
"Is it similar to the information from the Inspection Hall? As a true disciple of the Divine Weapon Valley, this person has so little information?"
Yu Xuanfeng muttered.
"This person has only been in the Divine Weapon Valley for two years, so it's normal that he has less information."
Yu Xuanji's brows relaxed:
"Dechang Mansion?"
"Well, according to the information from Yunshu Tower, this person should have followed his senior brother across Fajiu Mountain and headed straight for Dechang Prefecture." Yu Xuanfeng nodded: "After the news that the master's uncle was interested in taking a disciple spread, those forces were unsure of the truth and did not dare to hunt him down anymore..."
"Ok?"
Suddenly, Yu Xuanji seemed to realize something, and she shook her sleeves, and a letter fell to the ground.
"Is this the letter from my uncle-master?"
Yu Xuanfeng's heart skipped a beat and he subconsciously took a few steps back, only to see a pure white light rising from the letter.
"Real energy from the air!"
Yu Xuanji looked horrified.
The pure white light rolled on the ground, and limbs, torso, and facial features were visibly grown...
Almost in the blink of an eye, he turned into a little man about a foot tall.
He is wearing a Taoist robe, has no hair or beard, and has red lips and white teeth, looking very lifelike...
"Master-uncle!"
Yu Xuanfeng knelt on the ground with a plop, and Yu Xuanji also bowed hurriedly: "Disciple Yu Xuanji, I pay my respects to my uncle-master!"
Even at a distance of thousands of miles, the true energy can still transform into a human form, which is almost as powerful as that of a terrestrial immortal.
Even though they were all disciples of the Dragon and Tiger Temple, before today, they had only heard of such incredible methods in legends.
“True energy transforms!”
Yu Xuanfeng knelt on the ground, his heart trembling, and he pinched his thigh flesh tightly to prevent himself from crying out.
What does it mean to be superbly skilled?
This is the magic!
Even though he saw it with his own eyes, he couldn't even understand such a method.
Woo!
The miniature man, less than a foot tall, transformed from the true energy, paced slowly on the deck, looked around, and seemed to be thinking about something.
"Master-uncle?"
After a while, Yu Xuanji asked cautiously when she heard no response.
"Who is your master?"
"what?"
Yu Xuanji lowered her head and said, "My master is Gong Jiuchuan, and I am your disciple Yu Xuanji. This is my younger brother Yu Xuanfeng..."
She glanced at the petite uncle-master who was less than a foot tall, feeling curious and shocked.
When true Qi takes shape, it often requires the human body or other special media to be transmitted hundreds of miles, and the loss is extremely great.
Only the true energy formed by the fusion of true Qi and heaven and earth can take shape without any support and can be felt thousands or tens of thousands of miles away.
This is the method used by the immortals on earth!
My uncle-master has actually reached this point?
But why is it so small...
"A disciple of Komiya."
The pocket-sized man transformed by the pure white energy nodded and said in a very mature manner: "Give me the letter."
"what?"
Yu Xuanfeng handed the letter over in a panic, and he was a little afraid to look up.
"His aptitude and comprehension are acceptable... Well, whatever, I'll give that old guy some face and meet him. This will save him from causing me trouble later."
The brother and sister were still in shock and trembling. They looked up only when they heard the sound disappear. The deck was empty.
There was only a ray of white light on the letter that gradually faded away.
"Master-uncle?"
The two called out cautiously a few times, and only breathed a sigh of relief when they received no response.
"Who exactly is Wang Wenyuan? How could our great-grandmaster be willing to separate out his true energy?"
The two looked at each other, both a little shocked.
The true Qi is outlined, and when it touches the heaven and earth it is called True Qi. Even for the immortals on earth, True Qi is extremely precious and it is not easy to cut out a strand of it.
"sister?"
After a long time, Yu Xuanfeng looked at his sister, and Yu Xuanji managed to calm down.
She carefully picked up the letter on the ground and handed it to Yu Xuanfeng, who had a bitter look on his face:
"Take it and keep it as a sacrifice."
"sister……"
Yu Xuanji said without even turning her head: "Use the boatman to go to Dechang Mansion as soon as possible!"
……
……
Huhu~
The autumn wind is howling and the weather is turning cold.
In just over ten days, the fleet arrived at Dechang Prefecture.
"We're finally there! Is that Dechang Prefecture? It doesn't look as good as Zhelong Prefecture..."
"Zhelong Prefecture is the number one prefecture in Huizhou. Dechang Prefecture has a population of one million, only half of that of Zhelong Prefecture."
"Finally we can get off the boat!"
There was a lot of discussion on the deck. Liu Zheng, Wang Peiyao and others gathered together. Even Fang Baoluo, who had hardly gone out since getting on the ship, came out.
The waterway was bumpy, and even though everyone had martial arts skills, they still felt uncomfortable after not getting off the boat for more than ten days.
When Li Yuan pushed the door open, he saw everyone's faces were full of excitement.
At a glance, he could already see the dock outside Dechang Prefecture, where crowds of people and merchants were coming and going.
Dechang Prefecture is not as big as Zhelong Prefecture, but the business atmosphere is more intense. He could hear various accents from a distance.
"Get off the boat!"
After a while, the ship docked steadily, and the porters on the dock came in an orderly manner, carrying various goods.
Li Yuan followed the crowd down the boat.
