According to the markings on the map, we start from Nanchen County, pass Beichen County, Shanyang County, and finally arrive at Donghai County. The journey is 1,030 miles. According to the half-month period given by Linglong Academy, we need to travel about 70 miles a day.

This seems not high for Yima's footwork, especially when changing horses frequently.

But in fact, this journey is not all official roads, and there are not stations everywhere. During this period, you need to cross the river, the mountains, and the dense forests. Many places need to walk.

After all, time is actually very tight. No place can be delayed.

Therefore, after departure, the official road was open and the post stations were densely packed. Jiang Hao and his party fought desperately to go on the road. They passed by Liuyi that day, and each person changed to six vehicles, and they rushed 180 miles in a day.

In the evening, the three of them rushed to the edge of Nanchen County and moved into an inn on the edge of Xingchen River.

The inn is very big, not far away is a large ferry. Even when night falls, the ferry is full of people and busy.

However, I was just busy unloading and loading the ships, and there were no ships coming and going. No one would venture to sail at night, and the most capable ship owners would not dare.

The wide Star River has slow water flow, calm during the day, but is extremely mysterious at night.

...

Jiang Hao and the other two lived there. Soon someone brought food, which was large and delicious. The three of them were all from ordinary people and were very satisfied with this kind of free food and drink. They had a beautiful meal, and after eating, they put away the remaining cakes and kept them on the road as dry food.

Be prepared for any trouble.

Jiang Hao has some experience with this. In the past one or two years, he went to the city to sell eggs from his home. When it was not going well, he was reluctant to spend money to buy food. It is common for him to go hungry.

After eating, Jiang Hao and Li Tietou sat cross-legged and practiced separately. The jar was extremely tired and fell asleep.

Jiang Hao's thoughts were complicated and he could not concentrate and entered into meditation for a long time. He sighed in his heart, stood up, and stared at the dark river water outside the window.

But there were people and horses neighing in the post station. It must be that someone was coming again.

After a while, there was a movement in the room next to him, and a few people whispered. Jiang Hao vaguely heard that there were five or six people on the other side, and they should be discussing the itinerary while having a meal. Strangely, there was a voice from a woman in the middle.

In the inn, there are only two types of people, officials and monks.

Among the officials, there is no woman, so he can only be a female monk.

Jiang Hao is also a person who has seen the world. When he was at Linglong Academy, the county government, there were women among his fellow practitioners. In the county school and rural school houses, there were no women practicing.

The reason is very simple, it cannot be afforded.

Just like Jiang Hao and Li Qi, they often waste years of sensation of spiritual energy. It is not easy for ordinary people to provide a man with practice, so how can they care about girls?

Therefore, generally speaking, there are only two situations for women to practice. One is that they are from wealthy families, and the other is that women from ordinary families have occasional encounters and show their talents.

Soon, everyone next door finished their meal and rested, and the surroundings became quiet again.

Jiang Hao sat down cross-legged again, and this time he finally slowly entered into meditation and visualized the meridians.

Early the next morning, everyone stood up and the station became lively. Someone brought food, and Jiang Hao and the other two quickly finished their meals and left in a hurry. The ferry was busy in the morning, so they passed by early and crossed the river early.

As for horses, there is no need to lead them. Once you cross the river, you will be able to get the horses at the post station on the other side.

The three of them were about to leave the gate of the station, but they could only hear a shout behind them: "Jiang Hao?"

Jiang Hao paused, slowly turned around, and an incredible expression appeared on his face.

The person who speaks out has a rich figure, luxurious clothes, eagle nose, harrier eyes, and a gloomy expression.

I know each other very well. Although I don’t meet much, I am a family.

Jiang Yuan, the younger brother of the Jiang family's mansion, is 3 years older than Jiang Hao.

A woman next to her suddenly screamed: "It's you? Jiang Hao, you stole three quotas for survival!"

This girl, Jiang Zu, Jiang Yuan's sister, and Jiang Hao's cousin, was aggressive and fierce at this time, and she looked like she wanted to eat people.

Jiang Hao suddenly understood in his heart. He heard from Master Tang that in this Jiang case, there were 10 accomplices in the quota, and he got three of them for a lifetime, which was exempted from the death penalty of his parents and younger sister.

Unexpectedly, the other 7 were taken away by the mansion, and they were even less!

Jiang Hao's eyes were calm and swept across Jiang Yuan and Jiang Shenglu, but he saw that the two were dressed in gorgeous clothes and had beautiful accessories. The few servants following him were also dressed neatly and neatly.

Let me put it this way, the clothes worn by other servants are better than those of the master Jiang Hao.

Jiang Hao bowed his hand and said softly: "Brother, sister."

Jiang Zu refused to give in: "What sister, why did you rob the quota of life?"

Jiang Hao was angry, why? Just to survive!

Jiang Hao has no feelings for these two people, let alone family affection. We only meet occasionally during festivals and holidays, but they look unattainable and can't even get along with them.

Jiang Hao said lightly: "Sister, do you not know at all about the Jiang family's disaster? "

Jiang Hao felt a little relieved when he said this. After all, he could not escape the consequences of picking ground breasts.

"You! Bold!" Jiang Zuo was furious.

"How can you survive if you are not bold? You just earn your life."

"How dare you talk back!" Jiang Zu was eager to try and almost stepped forward.

"Stop making trouble!" Jiang Yuan shouted softly, then bowed to Jiang Hao and said, "Brother, I heard that I, Jiang, have a genius with a rippling water, signed a delicate shape, but I didn't expect it to be you."

Jiang Hao nodded: "Live by luck, brother, it seems you have signed a love letter?"

"That's right, the Ice Emperor has a favor outside the law. Your sister and I barely passed the test and were able to survive. The remaining hundreds of people in the Jiang family lived... 10 people, Jiang Hao, and three of us have a great relationship. Can we work together?"

Join hands? Jiang Hao thought for a moment, waved his hand and said, "Brother, let's work hard on their own."

How can we work together?

Jiang Hao knew what the other party had to do. Everyone had no relationship. He just heard about Shui Lianyan and wanted to explore the method of cultivation.

However, can you put forward your own methods of practice? It’s too late to hide.

What's more, there is also the stolen ground milk. If you get along for a long time, it will be bad if you reveal it.

"Hmph! I don't know how to lift up." Jiang Zu said coldly.

Jiang Hao bowed: "Sister, you have raised a lot of people in this disaster, and their heads are rolling!"

Jiang Hao did it on purpose. He made up his mind to be far away from the two of them, so he simply took the opportunity to choke with the other party.

After all, I feel resentful!

Why, you caused trouble, and the tribe members lost their lives to search the house. You escaped the disaster and looked arrogant?

"Fart!" Jiang Zu could no longer help it, and stepped forward in two steps, Gao Yang with his arm, and slapped Jiang Zu's head.

She is now in the middle grade level, just like Jiang Hao, but she has been at this level for more than two years and thinks she can suppress the newly promoted Jiang Hao.

Jiang Hao was not polite, and suddenly raised his left arm and blocked it. He wanted to sway his right fist, but he took into account the identity of the other party's woman, but finally he did not punch. He turned sideways and hit his right elbow upwards.

Jiang Zu only felt his arms numb, as if he had hit a stone. Then his shoulders felt sore, and he was hit and took two steps back and almost fell.

Jiang Yuan reached out to find out, held the girl, and said, "Don't do anything randomly."

Then he said to Jiang Hao: "You are too, too, too reckless."

Get out of your mother! Jiang Hao cursed in his heart, why didn’t you stop your girl when she took action? Now you are pretending to be a good person again.

He said lightly: "Brother, Lingqing is actually a life-seeking talisman. Everyone is diligent and make a living."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Jiang Zuo shouted from behind: "You dare to fight back, stop for me."

Jiang Yuan said helplessly, coldly: "Are you temporarily settled down and you think you can do anything wrong?"

"Brother, if it weren't for him, our family would have lived three more people, three more people!" At the end of his speech, he was already crying.

"Hmph, both parents are here and sister are here. What else do you have to be dissatisfied with? If you and I were not lucky enough to sign the Linglong letter, the head of the Jiang family would not be able to survive alone!"

Then he sighed and continued, "That kid is right, make a living. Just bet, we not only have to make our lives for ourselves, but also our parents, younger siblings, and we must not slack off and we must not be obsessed with trivial matters."

After saying that, he took the lead and moved forward. Jiang Zuo was stunned for a moment, cursed in a low voice, and followed slowly.

...

It's also weird to say.

As the owner of the Jiang family, who was a case of stealing ground milk, two monks actually passed the exquisite assessment, and then Jiang Hao added to the number of three.

In the same case, three parts are exempted from death! Even the Ice Emperor finds it incredible!

This Jiang family is really a brilliant person.

Therefore, at the end of the matter, the few people who should have been executed as the main culprits inexplicably escaped the death penalty with the help of Jiang Yuan and Jiang Zu.

After all, Jiang Hao actually made some efforts in it.

It’s a pity for those side branches and outsiders, they are the real innocent people and should be spared from death.

...

Jiang Hao and the other two arrived at the ferry, chose a large ship, handed over the ferry silver, and waited to start the ship.

Not long after, Jiang Hao saw that Jiang Yuan and his group had also boarded the big ship. He thought he was unlucky and walked deep into the cabin to avoid the other party.

There were a lot of people in the morning and soon the crew was full. The boatman was neatly raising anchors. Dozens of boatmen sat upright on both sides of the hull and began to row hard.

The water flows rapidly in Xingchen River. When the ships cross the river, they need to go upstream and walk obliquely, after crossing the middle of the river, then go downstream and downstream to reach the other side.

Jiang Hao stood at the end of the boat, looking at the surging river, and remembered a passage that Tang Jinshan had said in his heart.

"I think of my Celestial Continent, surrounded by endless seas. Above the continent, rivers are crisscrossing, rivers are gurgling, rivers are scattered, and lakes are densely packed. As for streams, mountain springs, ditches, swamps, and wells, they can be seen everywhere.

However, these are all ordinary water, and even occasionally have poisonous water. For me monks, sweet rain, spiritual wells, and ground milk, three spiritual waters are both expensive and rare, and they need to be cherished and used for the full use of things."

In the past, Jiang Hao had no idea about these words, but now he has a little understanding of them in the face of the surging river.

In this world, there is no shortage of water, what is lacking is spiritual water that can be used for cultivation.
