——Thanks to Lobster friends for the reward
Two brothers, Xu Haojie and Xu Haoyu, are tall and handsome. They ride on white horses that look like trees in the wind. They are so majestic that they only provoke the village women and girls on the road to look at them frequently.
In a blink of an eye, the two of them arrived at the carriage at the front of Jinfeng Trading Company. The shopkeeper of the trading bank and several other important stewards and security leaders were standing on both sides, respectfully waiting for the Xu brothers to ask questions.
Xu Haojie held a riding whip and asked in a deep voice: "Where is the red dog beast?"
The big shopkeeper of the trading company quickly stepped forward and pointed to the carriage behind which was covered tightly with cloth: "Master Jie, it's right there."
Xu Haoyu immediately clamped the horse's back and asked the white horse to take a few steps forward. Then he used a riding crop to spread the cloth a little, looked at it, and then said to Xu Haojie with satisfaction: "Brother, that red dog beast looks like He is in his prime and is a good thing. I believe Qi Gu will be very satisfied this time and will give me and my brothers more..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by his brother Xu Haojie’s cough. Only then did he realize that he shouldn’t mention this matter in public, so he turned to the shopkeeper of the trading company and said, “We brothers will follow you to Yangzhou. City, lest there be blind thieves on the road."
The big shopkeeper of the trading company secretly cursed in his heart, why did he need your protection? With so many guards and several masters, there was no problem in crossing the mountains and rivers. However, he still said in a nauseous manner: "With Mr. Jie and Mr. Yu here, there must be no one who dares to rob this goods. It's windy and sandy outside, why don't we get into the carriage and talk?"
Xu Haojie and Xu Haoyu looked at each other, then nodded, dismounted and followed the big shopkeeper into the carriage.
When Xu Haoyu opened the cloth to look at the red dog beast, Chen Ke stretched his neck to get a closer look, but couldn't see clearly. After a while, he sat down and muttered: "I don't know what that strange beast looks like. What does it look like? Does the aunt of the Xu family have magical powers? The strange beast she likes is not ordinary!"
The red dog beast is just a mutated dog. Shi Xuan remembered that using its blood to write talismans would slightly increase its power, so he just smiled and said nothing.
Old Master Du Yifu was dissatisfied and looked at Chen Ke with disdain: "How can there be any magical powers! It's all the tricks of those people in the world who pretend to be gods. Humph, that strange beast probably looks weird. , it’s just relatively rare.”
Of course Chen Ke disagreed, so he brought Shi Xuan into the topic: "Master Shi, I heard that you are from Xia'an Mansion. The Xu family also made their fortune from Xia'an Mansion. You should have heard of it, right?"
Shi Xuan naturally wouldn't say that the two outside are my nephews and they have to pay homage when they see me. He just said perfunctorily: "I've heard about it, but I've never seen it." Unexpectedly, Xu Tianqi was already in Xiaoyu The Xu family has grown very fast in the past twenty years. Xu Jinyi may have contributed a lot to this, but I don't know that she still had some thoughts on cultivation when she was delayed in the family.
Chen Ke also cared about Shi Xuan's perfunctory attitude and said with a smile: "If I could get to know one or two people from the Xu family, this single-group business could be expanded several times. Alas, it's a pity that we can't get along." There was a deep look on his face. Deep longing.
Old Master Du couldn't stand Chen Ke's appearance, so he snorted and turned around and stopped talking.
Seeing that Du Yifu was dissatisfied, Chen Ke didn't take it seriously and said to Shi Xuan with a smile: "Young Master Shi is very handsome. How can he read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles?" Because the closer he got to Jiangnan, the more people left. In the caravan, many carriages were empty, and then some lower-level stewards used them to pack the specialties they bought along the way. They could also make some money when they returned to Yangzhou, so in line with the principle of concentrating to free up more carriages, Chen Ke today He moved to the carriage of Shi Xuan and Old Master Du.
"That's right." Shi Xuan didn't have any objection to Chen Ke's verbosity, and he just wanted to hear some things about Middle-earth.
As soon as Chen Key was spoken to, he immediately started talking non-stop.
…………
At dusk five days later, the caravan had arrived at the river, with Yangzhou City on the other side. At this time, everyone in the caravan got off the carriage and stood at the dock, waiting to be transferred to the big ship.
At this time, there is a lot of rain in summer. The rain not only shakes the bright and dazzling flowers, but also raises the water level of the river a lot, making the river surface wider. At a glance, you can even see Not to the other side.
The waves on the river are strong, the turbid waves are clearing, and it is evening again, so few people are sailing. However, the Xu brothers are eager to return home. When they think that today is Qi Gu's birthday, they feel anxious, so the two of them Find the big shopkeeper of the trading company and ask him to find the boss of the boat gang affiliated with Xiaoyulou. He must arrange a boat to cross the river.
Shi Xuan looked at the rolling river and thought of the same scene twenty years ago. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. If he had not embarked on the path of spiritual practice, he would be a middle-aged man in his forties now, confused and busy every day. Busy here and there, living for the sake of living. From the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw the boatmen worshiping the gods. It seemed that they were forced by the Xu brothers and had to ask for blessings from the gods before they dared to get out of the boat.
"Haha, I didn't expect that these boatmen also started to worship Pudu Bodhisattva." Chen Ke stood beside Shi Xuan and also saw this scene.
Pudu Bodhisattva? Isn't it the divine name I gave to Fang? Unexpectedly, the followers of the Fang family have developed so well and have already reached outside Yangzhou. They must have benefited from the expansion of the Xu family. Shi Xuan felt relaxed and said with a slight smile: "Brother Chen Ke, do you also believe in Pudu Bodhisattva?"
Chen Ke grinned: "What's so trustworthy about this kind of clay Bodhisattva? What I believe in is the living god, the national master on the spot, Nanguang Zhenren! That one has great supernatural powers and great magic power! I have seen it with my own eyes!"
Oh, Master Nanguang, I never expected that Ding Mingde would live such a good life, but his desire to learn literature and martial arts and sell them to the emperor's family has not changed at all.
Now that there was news about several disciples, Shi Xuan asked more questions. Unfortunately, whether it was Yan Jujian, Yan Nantian, Nan Tianren, Chu Wan'er, Chu Fairy, or Chu Witch, Chen Ke shook his head at every question. I don't know, looking at his posture, I probably thought that Shi Xuan was using those false people to slap his well-informed face.
…………
Outside Yangzhou City, on the bank of the river, is the Phoenix Tower.
Since the evening, the whole building has been brightly lit and full of people, all of whom are rich or noble depending on their clothes.
Xu Tianqi looked middle-aged, with two neatly trimmed mustaches. He frowned and looked at the semi-dark river outside the window, and said to the lady next to him: "Jie'er, Yu'er, why haven't you come yet?" Come back, didn’t I send someone a letter the day before yesterday to say that I could make it in time?”
Before Madam could answer, a rosy-faced old man next to her smiled and said: "Nephew Jie Xian and Nephew Yu Xian are very filial. Brother Xu, you should be satisfied with having two sons like this. I wonder if Fairy Jinyi is I'll mind." As he spoke, he looked at Xu Jinyi who was at the top.
Xu Jinyi was wearing a red dress. She still looked like she was in her twenties. She must have been a successful practitioner and had good looks, but there was a hint of fatigue and helplessness between her eyebrows. She smiled slightly when she heard this and said: "Master Zhu What I’m saying is, I’ve told them before that they don’t need to do these tricks, as long as they arrive.”
On the highest floor of Phoenix Tower, there were six banquet tables in total. Among them were the elders of the Xu family, senior officials from Yangzhou Prefecture, senior officials from Fucheng, senior officials from Xiaoyu Tower, and other gangs. Among the senior officials, there were representatives from famous families who came all the way to celebrate her birthday. At this time, they all looked at Xu Jinyi in awe, as if her every word and deed were worthy of attention.
The lower floors of the Phoenix Tower are filled with other lower-level guests. As they chat over wine, they look upstairs with reverence from time to time.
…………
A medium-sized ferry was ready, and it was full of experienced boatmen. Xu Haojie and Xu Haoyu led a dozen people to move the cage containing the red dog beast aboard, and then stood on the deck to give instructions for departure. As for the rest of the caravan, of course they waited until the weather calmed down the next day before crossing the river.
Watching the boat sailing slowly into the river, Xu Haojie smiled at Xu Haoyu and said, "Didn't it say that it's dark and the waves are not suitable for sailing? Isn't this great?"
Xu Haoyu held the bow of the boat and looked at the vast river, with the same smile on his face: "It's not like those boatmen are greedy for life and are afraid of death, and they are unwilling to take any risks."
As we walked, the wind got stronger and the waves got bigger and bigger. The medium-sized ferry swayed from side to side, making the Xu family brothers begin to look pale as they looked at the huge waves that hit them from time to time. , as if they hit me directly in the heart.
Everyone on the shore looked at the ferry that seemed to be about to capsize in the next moment. Some were worried, some were afraid, some were praying, and some were gloating. For example, Chen Ke sneered and said: "Then the two brothers of the Xu family thought they were the one from his family. My great aunt, I am afraid that such a big storm will feed the bastard."
Although Old Master Du was pedantic, he was still kind-hearted. He glared at Chen Ke fiercely: "If you still say such things at this time, aren't you afraid of retribution?"
Suddenly the others let out a loud cry. They quickly looked towards the center of the river and saw that the ferry had half turned over. Several people on the deck fell into the river like dumplings. Inside were Xu Haojie, Brother Xu Haoyu.
"Who is going to save people?" someone shouted loudly.
But the people on the shore looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn’t dare to move. There is no way to save people in this kind of storm, it is to risk death!
Shi Xuan sighed and walked towards the river. Chen Ke tried to hold him back, but quickly shouted: "Master Shi, this is no joke, it will cost you your life!"
Du Yifu also shouted: "Young master has this idea, he is a good person, but he can't give up his life in vain." As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Du's eyes widened, because Mr. Shi was already stable. When you step on the water and walk towards the center of the river as if walking, it seems that what is under your feet is not water, but a flat road!
Because of the shout just now, everyone on the shore saw the scene of Shi Xuan stepping on the water, and there was silence. It took a long time for someone to kneel down and say: "The Bodhisattva has appeared, the Bodhisattva has appeared."
"The gods descend to the earth, the gods descend to the earth."
Chen Ke opened his mouth and looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief. Mr. Shi, who was chatting and laughing just now, turned into a being that he could not understand in the blink of an eye. This is even more magical than Master Nan Guang!
Old Master Du rubbed his eyes, and then rubbed his eyes again, until he saw Mr. Shi casually throwing a boatman who had fallen into the water back to the shore, and then the boatman stood up intact and shouted excitedly: "The gods saved me, the gods saved me." The old master sighed and said, "It seems that I made the wrong interpretation of Zi Silence, Monster Power, Chaotic God."
Shi Xuan did not dare to mobilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Unless he was using a flying sword, it would be inconvenient to fly. However, the true energy in his body had been mixed with the evil spirit. With slight adjustments, he was already lighter than water, stepping on water. , strode to the sunken ship.
…………
In Phoenix Tower. I don’t know who first discovered the boat capsizing in the middle of the river, and soon the whole restaurant knew about it.
"Then, aren't those the Xu brothers?!" someone suddenly shouted.
Xu Tianqi and Xu Jinyi hurriedly ran to the window and looked around. They saw Xu Haojie and Xu Haoyu among the men struggling in the huge waves.
"Seventh sister, please save your nephew quickly." Xu Tianqi knew that he was of no use to such a powerful force of nature, so he asked Xu Jinyi for permission.
How could Xu Jinyi not agree? Just when he was about to use his gifted little magical power, he heard everyone gasping. Looking around, he saw a young master with his hands behind his back, leisurely, one step at a time. , walking on flat ground towards the center of the river, it seemed that the huge waves and strong winds were not worth mentioning at all.
Xu Jinyi and Xu Tianqi were stunned for a moment. They looked at each other and saw the same surprise and excitement in each other's eyes. Then Xu Jinyi murmured in his mouth: "Master Shi!" The deeper his cultivation has become over the years, Xu Jinyi became more and more grateful to Shi Xuan, so she no longer called him senior brother in her heart, but instead called him Shi Shi, which represented the status of half-master.
