Chapter 36: Hidden Water Disciple, Yellow Turban Culprit "Oh? An urgent letter from Harrier? Bring it in quickly." Behind the pearl curtain in the attic, a beautiful, slender, and exquisite figure walked out. The disciple who was delivering the letter did not dare to even glance at it. He immediately stepped forward respectfully, bowed, and presented the letter with both hands. The woman behind the beaded curtain took the letter and waved her hand. The disciple who delivered the letter quickly retreated to the door and did not dare to leave. The sound of paper flipping was heard. After a while, a woman's sigh and murmur were heard from behind the bead curtain. "I didn't expect so many things to happen in Linyuan City during my retreat. Fortunately, Chu Ge is fine and even broke through the Bone Refining Realm. It seems that he has a good talent for martial arts." After reading the contents of the letter, she knew that Linyuan City was attacked by corpse-driving people, and she also learned that her brother Chu Ge was ready to leave Linyuan City and go to Jiangcheng Prefecture. The Yinshui Sect is located in the Yinxue Peak within the jurisdiction of Jiangcheng Prefecture, about six hundred miles away from Jiangcheng Prefecture. She thought for a moment and waved again. The messenger disciple who was waiting outside the door came in immediately.
"Take my badge and go find Deacon Yu and ask him to send two outstanding outer sect disciples to pick up my brother. He should arrive at Jiangcheng Mansion within five days." "Yes!" The disciple who delivered the letter quickly and respectfully took the badge. At this time, a clear male voice came from outside the door, "Junior Sister Chu, you have just broken through the Condensation Realm not long ago, and your realm is not yet stable. Why bother with other trivial matters and delay your own martial arts practice? It is better to let me handle it." The woman behind the beaded curtain had a cold look in her eyes when she heard this, and said unhappily, "My family affairs involve my own brother, how can it be called a trivial matter?" A tall figure appeared at the door and laughed, "I was wrong. My Lin family has some influence in the city. When your brother arrives, why don't you show your hospitality and entertain him?" "Thank you for your kindness, Senior Brother Lin. However, you don't need to trouble me. I can handle my brother's affairs myself." The woman behind the pearl curtain declined politely, but seemed unable to bear the entanglement of this senior brother named Lin. After exchanging a few words, she finally ordered him to leave on the grounds of practicing. Senior Brother Lin left with a gloomy face, stopped beside the mountain path with a frown, and suddenly chuckled, as if he thought of something interesting. "Chu Feixue, you are noble, but I like your nobleness. You are noble enough, but I wonder if your brother can withstand the temptation!" He was so angry when he thought about how Chu Feixue had been quite polite to him before he broke through to the Condensation Realm, but now she was so cold and distant after the breakthrough, he became angry. Obviously, the other party was just pretending to be nice to him. Now that I have real strength, I am too lazy to even pretend. "It's also my fault for being too soft-hearted. Now that this little girl has gathered her strength, it will be even harder for me to capture her. But since her brother is here, this may be a breakthrough. If I can capture her brother as well, it should be very interesting, and my Sun and Moon Magic may make great progress." Going north along the Xuemen River, you will reach the surging Yangtze River that leads directly to Jiangcheng Prefecture. The journey was nearly a thousand miles long by water and was relatively smooth. Occasionally, when there are strong winds and waves, the water surface is turbulent and the waves are rolling like thousands of horses galloping, sweeping merchant ships away. Most of the time, the weather is calm and there are no bandits to disturb us.
However, two days later, the ship had entered the Yangtze River and gradually arrived at a waterfront town under the jurisdiction of Jiangcheng Prefecture. In the sunshine, the golden waves on the river look like millions of golden snakes swimming. Hundreds of boats are moored here. In the rippling water, there are fishing boats that cast off their cables and drift with the waves. On the fishing boat, there stood a young girl, her whole body wet, with white teeth and red lips, her face glowing with a beautiful red in the sun, and she was singing a fisherman's song. Chu Ge stood at the window and witnessed this scene. He felt relieved and happy. He smiled as he had more material for his shadow puppets. "Do you like the girl on the fishing boat? If you like it, I'll make one for you someday." “Hee, hee, hee!” Behind him, he heard a strange woman giggling, and a girl in purple with two cute dimples walked over. It turned out to be a shadow puppet possessed by the spirit Xiao Qian. However, Xiao Qian is unable to speak. Even though Chu Ge specially made a sound-making paper box for the shadow puppet, Xiao Qian can only make simple sounds. In the past two days, with Xiao Qian's assistance in training, Chu Ge's energy and blood have improved a lot. He has a powerful aura, and his tall and sturdy figure seems to be stronger. The muscles under the collar are as hard and tough as rock. At this time, seeing the boat starting to approach the shore, Chu Ge told Xiao Qian to hide in the box, then put on a cloak and walked out of the room. He felt that being on the water for two days was rather boring and tedious. Logically speaking, when traveling in such chaotic times, shouldn't you encounter robbers on the road? To be on the safe side, he had made preparations in advance, and the journey was smooth. There may still be only a few water bandits who rob people on the water in the Great Zhou. That day, everyone stopped in the town for the night and tasted the delicious cuisine of other water towns. The next day, we changed to a horse carriage and continued on the journey with some caravans. Along the way, I only heard the guards in the caravan mention that the road has been uneasy recently. Even the official road to the capital is thousands of miles away, and there are often bandits from the Tiandi Xianghuo Sect or the Yellow Turban Sect who rob goods. There were also some bandits who had become bandits in other mountaintops and water strongholds. In such a world, evil spirits are rampant and all kinds of people gather together. "It's not peaceful, but we haven't seen any trace of the crazy people from the Tiandi Xianghuo Sect. Maybe with luck, we can reach the capital safely this time." Chu Ge was riding on a tall horse and saw some old men in the surrounding villages digging something on the roadside. He guessed that they were digging wild vegetables to fill their stomachs and couldn't help but sigh. When the Great Zhou was prosperous in the past, such scenes were probably rarely seen. The convoy continued to move forward in this way for another two days, and on the way they encountered some sneaky people who looked like robbers from afar. But after seeing the huge size of the caravan and the burly figures of Chu Ge and others, these people tactfully retreated on their own. Chu Ge thought to himself that the bandits were not fools, they would retreat if they knew they were not easy to deal with.
However, before half a day had passed, he felt the yellow paper in his belt burning and turning black, and the auspicious hanging scroll on the carriage also began to shake violently. "Chu Ge, be careful." At this time, Wang Xiuyun slowed down his horse, approached Chu Ge, and said solemnly, "Though the two groups of people we saw from afar in the past two days have gradually retreated, it feels like they came to observe us stepping on the plate in advance. There may be trouble later." Chu Ge touched the yellow paper in his belt, nodded slightly, and said, "Xiuyun, you are very experienced in the martial arts world." He glanced at the swaying figure on the carriage, then looked away calmly, looking at the mountains and forests in the distance, his expression becoming serious. The swing of the hanging paper was too big, and the temperature of the yellow paper was scorching high, which predicted a disaster. This proves that the next robbers are not ordinary robbers. Considering their current guard strength and that of the caravan ahead, it might not be easy for him to pass unless he was willing to expose his own strength. "Why don't we speed up and rush through this area?" Chu Ge looked at Wang Xiuyun and said. Wang Xiuyun was stunned and a little hesitant. In the caravan ahead, there is also a master in the Bone Training Realm, and several warriors in the Flesh Training Realm. If we separate from them and leave immediately, it will be even more troublesome if we are intercepted and surrounded ahead. She was about to persuade him when suddenly she heard the sound of horse hooves from the roads ahead and behind, kicking up a cloud of dust that flew all over the sky like a whirlwind. But in the dust, several strong warriors emerged. They were all dressed in leather or animal skins, with all kinds of hideous-looking yellow turbans and helmets on their heads, and long bows and quivers on their backs filled with long arrows, making them look particularly tough. "Oh no! It's the Yellow Turban Clan's thugs!" "Hurry, hurry, hurry! Pick up the valuables and rush into the forest." The caravan in front was the first to panic, with cries of surprise heard. "It's the Yellow Turban Sect!" Wang Xiuyun's face changed instantly and her pretty face looked ugly. A group of Yellow Turban warriors in the distance saw the caravan, and the one riding in the lead shouted "Ya-hoo!" and raised the whip in his hand into the air. The whip whistled in the air, then fell heavily and hit the horse's buttocks. "Herod—" The strong horse screamed in pain and rushed forward like an arrow. His companion beside him quickly drew his bow and shot an arrow. "Whoosh whoosh—" The arrows turned into seven or eight black dots, like deadly locusts, flying towards them with a whizzing sound. In the caravan ahead, someone was suddenly shot by an arrow and blood spurted out, it was a horrific scene. As soon as one wave subsides, another one rises. Arrows were also shot rapidly from behind, one of which tore through the air and approached.
Chu Ge frowned and quickly dodged. With a casual flick of his hand, with a "click" sound, another arrow was deflected and hit the carriage behind him, and the tail feathers were still buzzing and vibrating. "what--!" Suddenly a scream came from beside me. Chu Ge was startled and looked back, only to see a groom with blood gushing out of his throat and a coughing sound, dead on the spot. His face immediately turned ugly. This group of Yellow Turbans were indeed a rebellious sect. He had no martial ethics at all and actually used heavy bows and crossbows, which were strictly prohibited in the Great Zhou Dynasty, to shoot. He was so brutal. "Tat-tat--" In the wooden box inside the carriage, Xiao Qian seemed to sense the danger and began to move, sending a message to Chu Ge asking if he needed help. (There will be an update later at around 11 o'clock) (End of this chapter)
