Astral Apostle - Chapter 177

[One hundred and seventy-one “take advantage of” No. 1]

Falling in love with Youkanshu.com,

Apostle of the Star Realm Under the watchful eyes of the public, Zhou Jing flew across the river and landed on the shore. He threw the shivering Kong Bao on the ground and collected his mana.

Twenty or thirty villagers all fell to the ground with excitement on their faces and exclaimed immortals.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhou Jing couldn’t help feeling emotional.

Sure enough, this technique of summoning the wind is too easy to pretend to be a ghost in this world.

But you only need to confuse others, let others think he has supernatural powers, and call himself immortal for the time being… The tone is too high, it is difficult to handle, it is better to leave room for others to imagine.

Zhou Jing thought about this, raised his palms, smiled and said, “Everyone, please get up, I am not an immortal who went down to earth that day, I am just a alchemist in the mountains, you don’t need to worship me.”

Hearing this, many villagers hesitated to get up. Emboldened to look at Zhou Jing.

When they got closer, everyone was startled. They only thought that Zhou Jing was very strange, with a high nose and deep eyes, skin like white jade, short hair with black and brown, and he didn’t look like an ordinary person.

Many villagers hurriedly bowed their heads again, not daring to look at them, they were in awe, but they didn’t feel strange in their hearts.

——An alien with a different appearance, worthy of being a person among the gods.

Zhou Jing saw that everyone dared not speak, so he took the initiative to say:

“Xia Lingfengzi is an outsider. He has been practicing in the mountains for a long time, and he does not walk in the world. Recently, he has been very quiet and thoughtful. , I want to go to that Ningtian Mansion. Passing through here, I met this boatman who wanted to kill me in the river, but I took it, do you know the origin of this person?”

Hearing the question from the expert who was suspected of being an immortal, Many villagers dare not answer.

An old man who looked like a village chief walked out and said with sincerity:

“This person is called Kong Bao, and he is a strongman in the green forest nearby. He often pretends to be a boatman, carrying guests to and from the two sides of the strait. When he reaches the river, he robs money and kills his life. The people of several fishing villages around here know this person. It’s just that this person is proficient in martial arts, outstanding in water, and skillful, so I can’t do anything about it. In addition, this Kong Bao usually only harms travelers from other places. If he doesn’t come to disturb me, I can let him go. Now this thief has been caught by the Dragon King. It’s his retribution.”

Zhou Jing listened normally at first, but he couldn’t help laughing at the last sentence, saying:

“Old man, I’m gone, I’m not an immortal, let alone that Dragon Lord, call me Either Lingfengzi or the Taoist priest can do it.”

“Understood, I understand! Dragon… The Taoist leader’s instructions, I’ll keep it in my heart.” The

village chief nodded again and again, but in his heart he was even more convinced that the Dragon King was making a private visit. So I don’t want to be pointed out.

Zhou Jing didn’t insist either. He looked at Kong Bao and pondered for a few seconds before he said,

“Since you are a water thief walking alone, you should tie this person up and take him to an official.” When

Kong Bao heard the words, he hurriedly rolled over and knelt down. He shouted, “Grandpa Daoist! I won’t dare again in the future! I would like to surrender and serve you in the future!”

“…What beautiful things do you want?”

Zhou Jing was speechless, and pointed to Kong Bao’s neck with a heavy stab. Just knock him out.

Apostle Bill No. 3 now has a physical fitness of 25 points, which is only a little weaker than Chen Feng’s initial physical fitness. In the current standard of this world, he is also a “superior person”, and his strength is not small.

At present, I want Bill to take the upper-level route, and it is troublesome to bring this person by my side.

Besides, he had just detected this Kong Bao’s attributes, his martial arts skills were not high, and among the Lulin tyrants that Chen Feng knew, his skills were not ranked at all.

If it is assumed that Lu Yunzhao’s force value is 90, this Kong Bao is in his early 70s at most, not very powerful, and it’s okay to bully ordinary people.

“Many thanks to the Taoist priest for waiting for me to get rid of this harm.”

Many villagers quickly thanked them, stepped forward boldly, and tied Kong Bao tightly with ropes.

Zhou Jing ignored the matter, changed the topic, and carefully asked these locals about the geographical situation in the vicinity.

Everyone naturally answered their questions, and quickly cleared up the situation nearby.

This place is only three or four days’ journey away from Ningtian Prefecture. Down the river, you can reach the port in the west of Ningtian Prefecture, which is called Ximendu.

There are thousands of boats crossing the river, sails like clouds, and it is very lively.

Zhou Jing’s eyes flashed and he had an idea.

‘Since I want to go the route of pretending to be a ghost, I don’t have to use the idea of slowly accumulating fame, it is better to go big… I want to become famous in Ningtian Mansion and take the upper-level route, then it is best to quickly hook up with big families and noble families in the city, such as To come up with a hot spot that can spread all over the city in a short period of time, so there must be enough witnesses… Since that Ningtianfu ferry is so lively every day, I go there to do a wave of things, no doubt, it will be twice the result with half the effort.

‘

Zhou Jing felt more and more feasible.

To directly create a rumor that caused a sensation in the whole city, let those upper-level people know his “Godman”, and then take the initiative to visit and invite him to be a guest… This is definitely better than going to the door and cheating.

This is marketing yourself!

However, at the beginning, it was possible to take the initiative to hook up with a big family and ask the other party to help solve trivial problems such as lack of identity proof, which is convenient and easy to use.

After getting the information he wanted, Zhou Jing stopped delaying and left the village immediately, heading towards the West Gate of Ningtian Mansion.

After he left, many villagers were still immersed in their experiences of encountering immortals today.

Some people even set up a simple incense table directly at home to worship this “Dragon Lord”.

In addition, the villager did not delay, and several people escorted Kong Bao and set off to the county seat.

…

Three days passed in a flash.

Zhou Jing has been hurrying along the river.

Although he is penniless, he has the ability to analyze items, and he is not afraid of being hungry in the wild. Just picking some fruit is enough to feed his stomach.

You can also use the wind to blow down birds and beat the teeth.

He was not idle on the road, and he went to analyze and identify any plants he encountered, so as to be familiar with the plants and herbs in this world.

As we moved forward, the road became wider and wider, the number of pedestrians gradually increased, and boats began to appear frequently on the river.

Zhou Jing walked along the road and finally saw the outline of Ningtian Mansion.

This is a city where dragons and tigers are entrenched. It occupies a large river in front and faces Zhongling.

Not far from the river is Ximen Ferry, like a large lake, with hundreds of boats parked, ranging from merchant ships and cargo ships as tall as buildings, to small fishermen’s boats that can only take three or four people.

Across the distance, you can also hear the noise of the ferry terminal, a bustling scene.

“Sure enough, it’s more prosperous than the Anlin mansion. I don’t know how many times.”

Zhou Jing was overjoyed.

He did not enter the city, avoiding pedestrians, following the wild forest slope beside the road, all the way to the bank of the river, and looking at the ferry along the highly parallel water surface.

“Whether it can scare the entire Ningtian Mansion, let’s see this wave…”

Zhou Jing thought about it in his heart, and sorted out his appearance by using the reflection on the water. Only then did he settle down and act.

at the same time.

A merchant ship was sailing on the river, getting closer and closer to Ximendu.

A middle-aged man in Chinese clothes with white temples was standing on the bow of the boat, looking at Ning Tianfu in the distance, with a worried expression on his face.

Next to him is a young man with vaguely similar facial features, wearing a light blue scribe robe, and speaking comfortably:

“Dad, don’t worry, we have invited Doctor Zhang, the old lady will definitely be able to cure the disease.

” The old man sighed:

“I have searched for famous doctors in Ningtian Prefecture, but no one knows about the old lady’s illness. If Zhang Jinduan, who has a great reputation in Xinglin, lives up to his name, and can cure the old lady’s strange disease, then it would not be a waste for me to ask for it in person… …Otherwise, when the old lady falls, my Ye family will lose its backbone, and 80% of it will be in chaos, and it will not be a day or two for the other houses to be the head of the family.”

This middle-aged man’s name is Ye Shunzhong, who is the head of the Ning Tian Ye family’s eldest house. , the young man next to him is called Ye Yingguang, the son of Ye Shunzhong.

Ning Tianye’s family is a wealthy businessman in the Jiangchun area. Their business spreads across several states and their wealth is huge. They are famous throughout the south.

And in this Ningtian Mansion, the Ye family is known to everyone. In the mouths of good deeds in the market, the Ye family competes for the title of “Ningtian’s richest man” with the other two rich and wealthy families in the city all the year round.

Gu Yan

But three months ago, the old lady who was in charge of the Ye family fell ill, and the Ye family paid a lot of money to hire a doctor for outpatient treatment.

The wealth and silk moved people’s hearts, and almost all the people in the city temporarily left the ordinary people who came to see a doctor to gather at the Ye family for consultation, almost breaking the threshold of the Ye family, but in the end, no one knew what the old lady Ye had.

This matter also spread to the whole city, and the entire Ningtian Mansion knew that Mrs. Ye had a strange disease that no one knew about, and it became a topic of discussion.

Ye Shunzhong was in charge of the big house and was trained as a successor early on. After the old lady fell ill, his health was not getting better day by day. He has been anxiously looking for famous doctors.

Not long ago, he learned that Zhang Jinduan, one of the three famous doctors of Xinglin Chuan, happened to be traveling to Jiangchun, so he hurriedly went to invite him to Ningtian Mansion to treat Mrs. Ye. His last hope.

At this time, an old man in green robe with a medicine box walked out of the cabin, saw the Ye family and his son, and walked over.

As soon as he saw this person, Ye Shunzhong immediately saluted and said,

“Doctor Zhang, Ningtian Mansion is about to arrive. If my grandfather can be cured, the whole Ye family will be grateful for Dr. Zhang’s kindness.”

“Brother Ye doesn’t have to be like this, The old man

will do his best.” The green-

robed old man hurriedly bowed his hands in return, and he was Zhang Jinduan, known as one of the three famous doctors of Xinglin.

The two talked politely, and the Ye family merchant ship slowly moored into Ximendu.

At this moment, countless boats on the river suddenly sounded a burst of uproar, resounding through the sky.

Ye Shunzhong looked at the sound and was slightly taken aback.

I saw hundreds of boats moored in front of the ferry, countless boatmen running, gathered on the side of the boat, pointing in the direction of their Ye family merchant ships and exclaiming.

The content of the shouts drifted along with the river wind, intermittent and not clear enough, only vaguely heard words such as “immortal”, “dragon king”, and “river god”.

“What happened?”

Ye Shunzhong was puzzled, and looked back in the direction pointed by the sailors of the countless ships ahead.

Seeing this, he was struck by lightning, his jaw almost dislocated, and he was suddenly stunned.

On the river surface not far away, there was a man in black robe stepping on the water surface, rippling every step of the way, walking slowly as if walking in a leisurely courtyard.

“This…is this a fairy?!”

Ye Shunzhong and the three were shocked and couldn’t look away.

Under the stunned gazes of countless people in the ferry, this figure stepped on the river!

The demeanor is free and easy, like a fairy strolling along the river, step by step to the ferry.

At this moment, it was as if all the ships on the river had disappeared, and only this person was left in the world, like a lonely dragon.

Countless people in the ferry were so shocked that they stood on the spot, staring at the person who stepped on the river.

At this moment, this figure happened to walk to the side of the Ye family merchant ship, and the distance was quite close, and the appearance of this person could already be seen from the boat.

Ye Shunzhong was jolted and came back to his senses. He didn’t bow down on the boat and saluted. He said with great respect

, “I’m so lucky to be able to see the face of the fairy! The fairy family is above, please accept my worship!”

Zhou Jing heard someone talking. Turning his head and looking up at the ship next to him, he saw Ye Shunzhong who was looking at the side of the ship at a glance. At first glance, he was a wealthy family.

With a move in his heart, he suddenly drove the gust of wind and floated into the air.

Under everyone’s attention, he flew to the Ye family merchant ship.

Ye Shunzhong and the others were taken aback, and they hurriedly bowed down, shouting in vain that they had seen immortals.

“It’s just some supernatural powers, don’t make a fuss, I’m not an immortal, you don’t need to make this big gift.”

Zhou Jing took it indifferently and opened his mouth.

These people are gorgeously dressed, and they are rich or expensive. This time, he is not as amiable as facing the rural villager, but he has a posture, and he has the calm demeanor of a master hermit.

Hearing this, Ye Shunzhong and others dared to straighten their waists, and they all saw Zhou Jing’s strange appearance. They were surprised, but did not dare to show the slightest.

Zhou Jing put his hands behind his back, looked at Ye Shunzhong, who was in the lead, and asked,

“Who are you?”

Ye Shunzhong didn’t know what Zhou Jing meant, so he didn’t dare to be neglected

. The immortal family’s methods made me swayed for a while, and I couldn’t help

myself

. Slowly said

:

“Since you have the courage to talk to me, I will give you a fate.”

Ye Shunzhong was stunned for a moment, and suddenly overjoyed.

This immortal-like character actually wants to give him a fate?

Could it be that, as the folk legends say, when you meet an immortal, you have to be granted a chance?

!

Without waiting for Ye Shunzhong to inquire, Zhou Jing pretended to be indifferent and said,

“I will stay in Ningtian Mansion for some time to search for the secret place. Since I have a fate, I will stay at your house temporarily, and you will take care of it for me. Trivial matter… Do you want this fate or not?”

The thief who said this is shameless, it is equivalent to catching a big head, not only asking people to spend money to entertain him, but also giving this opportunity to the other party…

But Zhou Jing But the face is not red and the heart is not beating.

If it was an ordinary person, he might be beaten.

However, he just showed his immortal means, grabbing a head start, and already quelled the rich and big family in this boat.

Now this posturing makes people even more uncertain about his background.

Also, he’s not completely blind.

He deliberately staged a “Treading the River” show on the lively ferry. With so many witnesses, his reputation must spread throughout Ningtianfu in a very short period of time.

A mysterious person who is suspected of being an immortal, living in this person’s house, then in the cultural background of the Daxia Dynasty, it can bring this person a lot of intangible value such as prestige and influence.

Zhou Jing deliberately boarded the ship, intending

to hook up with a wealthy household first, and at the same time to solve his identity problem, he also used this as a springboard to get to know more dignitaries and gain a firm foothold in the city.

If it is successful, this person can also get countless benefits, and then the “predestination method” today will come true.

Ye Shunzhong really liked this, and hurriedly agreed when he heard the words:

“It is my Ye family’s honor to be willing to live in my Ye family temporarily!”

He only felt that this person who claimed to be Lingfengzi was extremely mysterious.

Moreover, the so-called “searching for heaven’s secrets” that this person veiled revealed also made him very interested and itchy, but he didn’t dare to interrogate the other party, so he could only hold back his reverie for a while.

Ye Shunzhong is not without doubts, but when he thinks of the scene of Zhou Jing walking on the river and rising from the wind just now, he feels that it is not as good as Ning Xin.

If you agree, you will spend some money at most. Even if this person is a liar, what can you do with one more person to eat and drink.

Don’t be alone, even if a hundred people come to eat and drink for free, he doesn’t even blink his eyes.

There is not much else in his Ye family, except for a lot of money!

If this person really has a great background, he will be lucky, and he will definitely regret the practice of pushing the opportunity out now.

Ye Shunzhong calculated very clearly, and naturally he would not refuse Zhou Jing’s seemingly excessive demands.

Seeing this, the corner of Zhou Jing’s mouth raised a radian, but then disappeared.

He deliberately didn’t respond with any thanks, he just gave a nonchalant hum, and said slowly:

“It’s so good, before the ship has entered the port, you can give me your Ye family.”
