Chapter 179: First Day of the New Year
Zhang Yuelu thought Qi Xuansu would be embarrassed the next day, but on the first day of the new year, Qi Xuansu seemed fine. It seemed that he was drunk and couldn't even remember what happened last night. However, Zhang Yuelu thought about it and it was reasonable. If Qi Xuansu was not drunk to that extent, he would not dare to say that he would marry Zhang Yuelu in the Great Immortal Mansion.
In fact, Qi Xuansu still had some impression, but he understood one thing: if he felt embarrassed, he would suffer. If he didn't feel embarrassed, others would be embarrassed. So even if he pretended, he had to pretend that nothing had happened.
According to custom, the first day of the new year is a day to visit relatives and friends to pay New Year's greetings, but Zhang Yuelu has decided to leave Yunjin Mountain today and return to Yujing.
At this point, Yan Mingchen had already left, and Tan Taiqiong felt that it was meaningless, so she didn't keep him and let it go.
Zhang Juqi wanted to keep his daughter for a few more days, but seeing the attitude of the mother and daughter, he had to give up.
Zhang Yuelu and Qi Xuansu left home early and followed the mountain road to the ferry of Shangqing Palace, which was named Shangqing Lake. I don't know whether to say that the Zhengyi sect has always been consistent in naming, or that they don't care about naming. Shangqing Prefecture, Shangqing County, Shangqing Town, Shangqing Palace and Shangqing Lake are all competing with "Shangqing".
The two went to Shangqing Palace to buy boat tickets first, which was still the same price, one hundred Taiping coins, and then received the jade card. Qi Xuansu's number was 48. It was not that Qi Xuansu came late, but the first 30 numbers belonged to the second floor.
The third floor of the flying boat is the key to driving the flying boat. Ordinary people are not allowed to enter it. The cabin below is the formation where the flying boat can travel above the nine heavens, and it is also not allowed to enter without permission.
There are only two floors for passengers. The first floor is an ordinary room, a single room, which is not simple, with only one bedroom. The second floor is the upper room, which not only has a bedroom, but also a small study, which is exclusively for high-quality Taoist priests above the fourth rank.
The three-story pavilion is connected by stairs inside. After the flying boat takes off, the doors of the three-story pavilion will be completely closed and no one can enter or exit. The flying boat will also activate the formation to resist the fierce wind.
Zhang Yuelu is a fourth-grade Taoist priest and can go to the second floor, but she did not choose a private room, but chose a consecutive number, which is next to Qi Xuansu's room.
Zhang Yuelu originally planned to buy two boat tickets with her own money, but was rejected by Qi Xuansu.
Zhang Yuelu roughly understood Qi Xuansu's mentality at this time. So many people looked down on him, he had to look up to himself, so Zhang Yuelu did not force it.
In the end, Qi Xuansu paid for the boat ticket himself. Not counting some small change, there were only 300 Taiping coins left.
Of course, Zhao Fuan's 500 Taiping coins were still there. It was not that Qi Xuansu forgot, but Qi Xuansu did not intend to move the 500 Taiping coins. Unless it was really urgent and people were dying, Qi Xuansu would not move them at all, just as a "thought".
Before boarding the ship, Qi Xuansu checked some of his belongings.
The short sword "Qingyuan", "Shenlong hand gun", plus nine "Dragon Eye B2", twenty "Dragon Eye B3", five "Phoenix Eye B3", and thirty ordinary armor-piercing projectiles.
In the satchel was the compass given to him by Qi Niang, and the silver fish talisman of the Qingping Society was placed close to his body, which contained the materials for entering the Dream Society, and could enter eight times.
In addition, there were the flying knives given to him by Zhang Yuelu, many of which were lost, and there were still eight left. A pair of armored horses, with a lot of spiritual energy left, can continue to be used for traveling. In addition, there were sundries such as marching pills, talismans, tokens, seals, mother-and-child talismans, ordinary talisman paper, and regular medicines.
He had not had time to receive the elixir issued by the Qingping Society.
After he became a regular employee, the "mother-and-child talisman" was changed from being issued once a year to once a month, and there were also ten yuan of worry-free money, one blood dragon pill, and one purple sun pill every month, which were officially issued from September.
September, October, November, December, four months have passed, that is, 40 yuan of worry-free money, equivalent to 400 yuan of Taiping money, 40 blood dragon pills and 40 purple sun pills, the former is useful for strengthening blood and strengthening the body, and the latter is beneficial for practicing qi, both are very suitable for Qi Xuansu.
Qi Niang can take it on behalf of Qi Xuansu, and Qi Xuansu is not in a hurry to use the money, so he can keep the money with Qi Niang. The key is to take out the pills as soon as possible and strive to enter the return to the true stage as soon as possible. Since Qi Xuansu drank the medicinal wine, he has truly experienced the benefits of using external pills. I am afraid that one pill is equivalent to his ten days of hard practice, and so many pills are equivalent to his years of hard work.
There are still some luggage, which are still placed in Zhang Yuelu's Xumi.
In addition, what Qi Xuansu has learned now, not counting the basic skills of using firearms and weapons, only the supernatural powers.
A wanderer in the Jade Tripod Realm, proficient in "body protection qi", "sword control", "cicada molting", and possessing the martial arts of the flesh and blood derivative realm. He has a strong and solid body, can regulate the blood and qi in his body and release it outside, restrain the magic of the art, and can also derive flesh and blood, and recover various external injuries. At the same time, because Qi Xuansu has the martial arts magic, he did not practice "bigu technique".
In addition, Qi Xuansu also learned a superior method "Da Yan Ling Dao" from Zhang Yuelu. This is not a unique skill, and it is not as good as the "Cihang Pudu Sword Canon" and other great methods. It is not even excellent among many superior methods, but it is much more powerful than the swordsmanship used by Qi Xuansu.
The reason why Zhang Yuelu chose to teach the "Dayan Spiritual Sword" to Qi Xuansu is that Qi Xuansu likes to use knives, and the "Dayan Spiritual Sword" does not have many restrictions. Everyone can practice it, but many people have to wait until they become gods. Knowing how to make contact, Zhang Yuelu just moved the time forward.
As for the "Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Zhengfa" and "Cihang Pudu Sword Code", they are powerful, but they are not allowed to be taught without permission. Violators will be severely punished, and the most serious ones will even be deprived of their cultivation. This was something that Xuansheng was unable to completely change back then, and Zhang Yuelu did not dare to cross the thunder pool rashly.
A huge flying boat carried a burst of drifting snow, broke through the sea of clouds, and landed in Shangqing Lake.
The huge boat body touched the lake surface, stirring up billowing water vapor.
After the airship stopped, a gangway was lowered, and the people on board disembarked one after another. However, there were not many people. After all, it was the first day of the Lunar New Year, so it was reasonable for there to be fewer passengers. There were also not many people boarding the ship.
After the two boarded the ship, they were about to find their own room. The director of Feizhou took the initiative to greet him. It turned out that the room on the second floor was not satisfied, and there was not even a third-grade Youyi Taoist priest. The director recognized Zhang Yuelu and planned to sell him a favor. The two of them were upgraded to a private room on the second floor.
Since there was such a good thing, the two of them naturally had no reason to refuse, so they took advantage and came to the second floor of Feizhou.
Because of the dissatisfaction of the guests, the flying boat did not dock for too long. After replenishing the Xuanhuang, it suddenly left the lake, flew high into the sky, and flew to Yujing without stopping on the way.
During the boat trip, Qi Xuansu also discovered that the flying boat was really like a dragon, with the magical power to move clouds and spread rain. In some places, the water vapor was already rich, giving rise to rain clouds. When the flying boat passed by, the water vapor transformed by Xuanhuang reacted with the rain clouds, and immediately Then snowflakes appeared and lingered around the flying boat, forming a scene of wind and snow outside the window.
If the dragon crosses the river, the water will cover thirty miles.
Feizhou takes dragon beads as its core, and also brings some dragon supernatural powers.
Looking from the outside of the flying boat, there is actually a line of falling snow on the front. However, these magical powers and the ability to call for wind and rain are essentially following the trend. If there are no rain clouds to condense, there will be no snowfall anyway. There was already snow above this line, but Feizhou was just a few days ahead of schedule, so the impact was not big.
On the other side, Zhang Yuelu has been feeling uneasy since the flying boat took off. However, the flying boat has already taken off and cannot land anytime soon. She has no choice but to be on guard secretly.
Also on the second floor, an old Taoist priest of the fourth grade of wine was slowly flipping through a book, turning a blind eye to the vast wind and snow outside the window.
This old Taoist and Zhang Yuelu are almost at opposite extremes. In terms of rank, he is also a fourth-grade wine-offering Taoist priest. But in terms of age, the old Taoist is Zhang Yuelu's grandfather. In terms of position, Zhang Yuelu is the deputy director of Shangsantang. Lord, the future is bright. The old Taoist is only the head of the lower third hall, and he is still the Qingshui Yamen. How can it be compared?
After an unknown amount of time, the old man raised his head from the book, squinted his dim eyes, and looked out the window. The light and shadow of the window just divided the old man's face into light and dark halves.
