The long fairy road is wonderful

Chapter 143 Jincheng
Brother Lin doesn't know the exact location of the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea, but the approximate location is marked on the map dedicated to monks.

The issue is……

He can't go.

The East China Sea Dragon Palace is under the jurisdiction of Hailong. These guys live in the deep sea. The sea is not a river more than ten meters deep. How to go down is a big problem.

Friends who have a certain understanding of deep-sea detectors or submarines should know that the deeper the deep sea, the greater the water pressure, and even the metal shell will be crushed, not to mention the body of Lin Xiaoer.

Even if you ignore the problem of water pressure, how can you breathe?

With his water-avoiding talisman that can only last for a few minutes, he might not even be able to see the roof of the Dragon Palace. If he rushed to the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea rashly, Brother Lin would probably drown in the sea.

The Dragon Palace and the monks are two completely different lines. The Dragon Clan did not participate in the traveling event, so don't think that the Dragon Palace has any contact points on the shore.

So he didn't take this matter too seriously. A monk who has the ability to go to the Dragon Palace by himself is at least the fifth rank of human rank. It is too early for the current little brother Lin to fly directly into the sea by flying with the sword.

He reckoned that Immortal Good Fortune just said hello in advance, and didn't think about letting him go now.

After putting away the jade pendant, the three of them went to Nahao Stone Village to stay for one night. They still had a grand tour to do, and the appearance of the Immortal Good Fortune was just a small episode.

Brother Lin didn't take it too seriously, at worst, he would talk about it when he contacted Zhang Baixi again.Linglong seems to be the same, as for Ran Qinglian...

Then I don't know, little brother Lin doesn't want to know what's going on in her mind...

Anyway, the next morning, the three of them set off again and continued their journey along the river valley. After walking along the Ran River for half a day, they finally found a wupped boat willing to carry passengers.

It is much more convenient, faster and more pleasant to go down the river by boat than when we came here.

Ran Qinglian once again demonstrated her good craftsmanship, using the small tandoor on the boat to cook the freshly caught fish and shrimp into a grilled + stewed meal, even the boat boss was full of praise for this.

"Miss, your craftsmanship is really good. This young man is very lucky."

He seemed to regard Ran Qinglian and Lin Tianci as a young couple who went out to play, but it was strange that these two talked to the air from time to time.

This can't be helped, ordinary people can't see Linglong, of course they are talking to the air.

But this also made jealous Wang Linglong very upset, she sat in the stern of the boat and paddled angrily, if it wasn't for Brother Lin and Ran Qinglian's kind words of persuasion, this girl would have almost shown herself.

——It is estimated that the ship's boss will jump off the ship in fright.

The boat travels quickly, and there is no need to camp and camp, so brother Lin and the others skip the small and small villages along the river and head straight for the nearest big city.

Seeing that it was getting late, after asking the boss of the boat, he said that it would take less than half an hour to arrive.

"I heard that the Ran River was formed by a man named Ran digging a spring. Is it true?"

Under the awning, the three of them chatted to pass the time at the stern of the boat.

This sentence was asked to Ran Qinglian, so maybe they know that they are all surnamed Ran?
In the end, Ran Qinglian really knew.

"This Ranjiang is indeed related to the senior monks of our Tianshui Palace. The version circulated in the palace is that when the ancestors were practicing the Tianshui God Art in the southwest mountains, they accidentally triggered the underground water veins. As a result, it got out of hand and became like this. Tiao Ranjiang."

Tianshui Palace belongs to the sect developed by one family, and there are many people with the surname Ran in the sect.

Linglong was about to speak, she looked up at the bow of the boat and said:
"There are several boats on the river, which seem to surround us."

When Lin Tianci heard this, he quickly got up and waited and watched.

Could it be that he encountered a water bandit?

As soon as he made a move, he saw several fishing boats with torches hanging out from the reeds by the river. There were some adult men standing on the boats, holding guns or knives, and they looked hostile to the visitors.

Lin Tianci saw it, and of course the boss of the boat also saw it. He turned around and said:
"Don't worry, young lady, I'll deal with them."

After finishing speaking, he whispered and laughed:

"This group of little bastards really dare to fall into the grass..."

From the looks of it, the boss of the boat seems to know this group of people.

Ordinary bandits would be unlucky if they encountered Lin Tianci, but they had to be careful on the water, after all, he was not very good at water.

Quietly approaching the stern, Lin Tianci whispered to the surface of the water:
"Water god, water god."

A big grass carp sticks out of the water, it is the one enlightened by Immortal Good Fortune not long ago.

"What is the order of the Immortal?"

The speed and stability of the boat ride all the way, of course, has something to do with the presence of the water god. Even though the land god has just been enlightened, the water god is not stupid. He knows that Brother Lin and the others are together with the good fortune fairy.

"If there is a fight in a while, can you help us capsize their boat?"

"What's so difficult about it, leave it to the little god."

They were whispering here, and the boss of the boat also met the group of suspected water bandits, and immediately scolded them as soon as they met:
"Little brats, you are going to die!"

When those people saw the boss of the boat, they immediately lost their momentum, and they were all trained like grandchildren.

"But Dad, people from the city say that taxes will be raised, as if a war is about to start. The taxes in our village are already high, so what will we give to others..."

"So you're planning to be water bandits? Get out of here! Get out of here, and deal with you when I come back!"

Hearing this, Lin Tianci realized that what kind of spears and machetes were in the hands of the water bandits, they were just harpoons and kitchen knives.

This is a group of fishermen.

Lin Tianci quietly gestured to the water god to wait a moment, and the black-clad boat slowly passed through the other boats blocking the way, and the angry boat boss explained:

"I laughed at the guest officer. These little bastards are not good at fishing, but they are good at causing trouble. Thanks to me, if they meet the officers and soldiers patrolling the river, they will all be arrested and beheaded for military merit."

"Is the tax in the village very high?"

Speaking of this, the boat boss sighed heavily:
"It's better for us to rely on water to eat water. Many villages living in the mountains are forced to become bandits to avoid taxes. The officials in the government really don't intend to let the people live."

Ran Qinglian said strangely:

"Then why don't you move away?"

Out of the river valley, Quanzhou is on the other side of the Ranjiang River, which is one of the most affluent areas in Eastern China, so there is no need to wait and suffer in Leizhou.

"Miss, look at what you said, it's so easy to move away."

The boat boss said:
"People are watching the government every day. Whoever dares to move, the whole village will follow him. If they want to leave, they will go together, or they will stay together. Besides, even if they leave, where can we find a place to settle? We are far away from the water. can't survive."

Fishermen only know how to fish, so it would be a bit nonsense for you to let them go to Quanzhou to farm.

This group of people went to Quanzhou, but they were going to be refugees. Regardless of being looked at by others, they might starve to death on the way.

The life of the people in Leizhou is the worst in Eastern China, with frequent wars, high taxes, and harsh natural conditions. These are all problems.

"I heard that it seems that there will be another war?"

The boss of the ship didn't care about it:
"Young master, you can't see that you are a native of Leizhou. There is no war in Leizhou. News of the war comes every day. Our ears are almost callused."

When Lin Tianci traveled through Leizhou, he mainly walked in the deep mountains and old forests. He had never encountered a war, at most there were some bandits.

It's true that I'm curious, but war is not a game, it will kill people, and thinking of the tragedy of war, Lin Tianci thinks it's better not to join in the fun.

Anyway, it has nothing to do with him whether to fight or not, and it is impossible for monks to participate in the war.

That is to say, just like monks do not participate in the mortal world's royal power struggle but still have influence, the movements of mortals will also affect monks, and the scale of the war in Leizhou this time is not ordinary.

Normally, Leizhou is indeed at war every day, but it is just a small-scale conflict between one or two small countries, but this time, all the states in the entire Leizhou will be involved, and the war will even burn to the bordering Tongzhou, Quanzhou and Brother Lin Now I want to go to Yanzhou.

Of course there was someone pushing it, but it was indeed as little brother Lin thought, and it had nothing to do with him. A large group of monks headed by Lu Qian were in charge of investigating this matter.

–‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐

After experiencing the episode of being almost robbed, the ship docked in the port of a big city before midnight.

Brother Lin paid the boat fare, disembarked and looked for an inn to stay.

On the second day, they changed to a larger passenger boat that was also dedicated to soliciting customers and continued to go down the river.

The boat traveled quickly, and with the help of the water god, the journey was calm and calm. After a week, the passenger ship finally left the war-torn Leizhou and arrived at the junction of Yanzhou and Quanzhou.

There is a tributary of Ranjiang leading to Quanzhou, where Ran Qinglian changed boats and bid farewell to Brother Lin and Linglong.She needs to take a boat along a tributary to reach Tianshui Palace, and Brother Lin's destination is Yanzhou.

To be honest, for Lin Tianci, it doesn't really make much difference whether he goes to Quanzhou or Yanzhou first, it's just a matter of time anyway.

But going back to Tianshui Palace with Ran Qinglian is obviously not a good choice. This girl tried to teach Linglong along the way, and she always tried to win over brother Lin and let him pair up with the seniors in Tianshui Palace... …

There will be ghosts if you can go to Tianshui Palace this day!

——It’s true that ghosts don’t go!
Originally, Tianshui Palace was still on Brother Lin's shortlist, but after meeting Ran Qinglian, he silently changed his plan, saying that he would not go to the base camp of rotten girls.

But without Ran Qinglian, it is still a little inconvenient, mainly reflected in eating.

Along the way, Ran Qinglian's good cooking skills have already made little brother Lin's mouth stingy. The cooks on the passenger ship are good at cooking skills, but they still can't do it by comparison.

This made little brother Lin very entangled, and even thought it would be a good idea to take Ran Qinglian on a trip together.

Fortunately, he didn't have to worry too much, because the passenger ship arrived at Jincheng, the first important port in Yanzhou.

The entire territory of Yanzhou is ruled by a very powerful country, the people are rich and the country is strong. If Leizhou hadn't blocked the only way between Yanzhou and Tongzhou, Xuan Shaoyang's family Fei Zou would have been destroyed long ago.

Jincheng is an important fortress between Yanzhou and Leizhou.

But for Brother Lin, the biggest advantage of Jincheng Qiangsheng is that there must be delicious food.
