Chapter 331: Chapter 211 Jing Chu Turmoil_3
"Elder Zhang has told me that you all are powerful Magicians, which is why I accepted this task," he said, "but whether to risk danger, it still depends on your choice."
"More than ten days?"
Upon hearing this, Sha Lifei quickly shook his head, "We don’t have the time to spend so long on a boat, unable to do anything."
He was right.
The firearms needed to be dealt with, Wang Daoxuan had to promptly establish an altar for the Rampaging Soldier ritual, and Li Yan had to practice and cultivate spells.
Staying on a boat, they wouldn’t be able to do anything.
Li Yan also nodded and said, "Senior Zhang, let’s take the shortcut. If we encounter anything along the way, we will deal with it as we go."
"It’s good, I’ve also taken on some tasks at the City God Temple."
"Great!"
Fast Ship Zhang’s eyes revealed a hint of joy, then he respectfully clasped his hands and said, "If that’s the case, then I will no longer stand on ceremony."
"As you can see, I’ve been living off the water for years, I do understand certain taboos, but when it comes to those filthy things, I still don’t know how to deal with them."
"I am willing to waive all boat fees, wherever you want to go is fine, but if we encounter those things, may I ask for some guidance?"
This was his careful consideration for agreeing to this trip.
Even though ordinary folks don’t have Divine Skills, when encountering certain things, they wouldn’t just wait to die; they had methods to deal with them.
These methods involved avoiding Taboo Techniques.
The Mystical Sect, since ancient times, was not just about mere cultivation. Using Divination to determine auspicious and inauspicious times, avoiding taboos, and dispelling disasters, that was their true expertise.
From the ancient Witch Sacrifices to the current Mystical Sect.
From court rituals to the local witches and wizards.
It was all the same principle.
He had earned the name Fast Ship Zhang not only because of his superb ship handling skills but also because he had ferried some pugilistic world Magicians; by treating them with respect and asking for guidance, he had accumulated quite a few methods.
When encountering danger, he could often avoid it immediately.
He had perceived the capabilities of Li Yan and others; they were worthy of respect from the Cao Gang elders and treated with deference by the Mei Mountain Magicians—certainly not ordinary.
Learning a trick or two from them could become a family legacy.
Li Yan couldn’t help but smile wryly, "Senior Zhang, you are too kind. We won’t skimp on the boat fee. We are all hard-luck people of the pugilistic world, and we can’t take advantage of you like that."
"Don’t worry, Master Wang is the best at this. He is kind-hearted and was already planning to pass it on to ordinary people. If there is anything you don’t understand, just ask him."
"Thank you!" said Old Man Zhang, his face immediately brimming with happiness.
With the plan set, they delayed no further.
The ship workers pulled the sails tight, harnessing the wind’s power to navigate the river.
Along the way, the scenery was beautiful.
Li Yan would occasionally come to the deck to enjoy the sights, but most of the time he was in the cabin, studying books on Qimen Dunjia and Mathematics.
Fast Ship Zhang and his ship workers were also determined.
This vast Han River was no different from a land road to them; they knew very well where the reefs and rapids were.
Their speed was rapid, and by the next morning, they had already reached Xiangyang.
Xiangyang, a thousand-year-old ancient city known as the "Number One Fortress in Divine State," was extraordinary indeed. Even before approaching, there were already hundreds of ships crisscrossing the waters.
Although Li Yan wanted to tour the place, treating his sickness was urgent, and they had already delayed too much in Yunyang, so they did not plan to stay long.
They resupplied briefly at the ferry dock before leaving.
However, as soon as they landed, Li Yan sensed that something was amiss.
Many people wore worried expressions and hurried on their way.
He glanced over, and Sha Lifei immediately understood, quickly heading to a tea stall at the ferry dock.
In a few words, they were backslapping and calling each other brothers, and after some inquiries, Sha Lifei hurried back, clicking his tongue:
"Something has indeed happened."
"News has come from the city that hill tribes in the Jing Chu Mountain region have rebelled, led by the Heavenly Saint Sect."
"Additionally, the Tusi in the Southwest have responded to the call, refusing to acknowledge Great Xuan as their sovereign anymore, things have really blown up..."
