Wu Shashen turned around to pack his luggage. Qin Luo came to the riverbank, and as soon as he got close, many boatmen surrounded him. "Master Dao, where are you going? Our boat is leaving soon."

"I'm going to Jiangling County."

Upon hearing that Qin Luo was going to Jiangling County, many boatmen left, most of them in small boats, which could hardly travel that far.

A plump woman with a broad smile said, “We’ll go to Huainan City in Jiuyang County. It’s very close to Jiangling County. It only costs five taels of silver. You can take a boat from Huainan City to Jiangling County.”

"Five taels of silver, isn't that a bit expensive?"

It was Qin Luo's first time on a boat, and he didn't know the price, but he felt it was a bit expensive, after all, it cost five taels of silver.

"Master Dao, it's really not expensive. Look at our big ship, and we even have rooms to sleep in. We provide three meals a day for free. It's a really good deal." The fat woman pointed to the big ship not far away.

An old man, who was as thin as a rake, spoke up, "Master, it only costs two hundred coins to get to Huainan City."

The plump woman glared at the old man and said enthusiastically, "Master Dao, our big ship is comfortable to stay on. His little shabby ship doesn't even have a place to sleep. We also have young girls on our ship."

Qin Luo looked at the thin, white-haired old man and said, "I only have one hundred coins on me."

The white-haired old man gritted his teeth and nodded, "One hundred coins is fine, but I have to wait for someone."

"good."

Qin Luo nodded with a smile.

Hearing that the young Taoist priest had no money.

The fat woman chuckled and left.

Qin Luo followed the frail old man to the old wooden boat. The small boat was similar to a covered boat, with a sail and oars, and the space inside the awning was not large.

"Sir, how should I address you?"

"My name is Yao Qingshan."

Qin Luo took out two hundred coins and handed them to him, "Old Yao, this is for your boat fare."

Yao Qingshan was somewhat surprised, "Master Dao, don't you only have one hundred coins?"

Qin Luo smiled slightly and said softly, "I'm worried that you'll steal their business, and they'll be unhappy."

"Thank you, Daoist Master!"

"There's no other way; it's all for making a living!"

Yao Qingshan sighed with emotion. He untied the ropes binding him to the shore and prepared to set sail. Wu Shashen, carrying swords and spears, ran over and asked, "Boatman, are we going to Huainan City?"

"Come on up!"

Yao Qingshan nodded.

Wu Shashen jumped onto the wooden boat that had just left the shore and laughed loudly, "Boatman, how much to Huainan City? If it's too expensive, I'll swim back!"

"No need to pay, the Taoist priest on the boat already paid."

Thank you.

Wu Shashen clasped his hands in thanks, then bent down and sat inside the boat awning. When he saw Qin Luo, his eyes lit up. "Master Dao, so it was you who gave me the money. May I ask your name?"

"Longhu Temple, Qin Luo!"

"Changshan Commandery, Wu the God of Slaughter!"

Yao Qingshan stood at the stern rowing. He felt that he didn't have to exert much effort, but the boat had already gone far. He felt that he was lucky today. Not only had he landed a big business deal, but even God was on his side. "We are lucky. If the wind and current are smooth, we can reach Huainan City in two or three days."

Qin Luo frowned slightly. If it takes this long to run even when things are going smoothly, it must take even longer under normal circumstances. Yao Qingshan only asks for two hundred coins; he's earning his money through hard work.

Wu Shashen sat opposite Qin Luo, wiping his longsword. He grinned and said, "This sword is called Demon Slayer. What do you think? Pretty, right?"

“It looks good. I have a sword called Slayer.”

"Where is the Taoist priest's sword?"

Wu Shashen did not see Qin Luo's sword.

Qin Luo took out the Demon-Slaying Sword from his waist.

Upon seeing the finger-length peach wood sword, Wu Shashen burst into laughter, "Can your wooden sword really slay evil?"

"able."

Qin Luo put away the peach wood sword.

After wiping the knife, Wu Shashen continued wiping the sword. "This sword was originally called Zhuxian, but to avoid using the princess's name, it is now called Wushuang."

Qin Luo could tell that he had a deep affection for swords.

After finishing his sword and knife maintenance, he continued to clean his spear, muttering to himself, "This spear is called Godslayer. It was passed down from my ancestors, but unfortunately, I didn't learn their spear technique."

Qin Luo noticed three menacing claw marks on his head. "Brother Wu, how did you get those injuries on your head?"

Mentioning this, Wu Shashen gripped his spear tightly, his blood boiling as he said, "When I was young, I heard that there was a tiger demon in the mountains. I followed my master and a group of heroes to the mountains to hunt the tiger demon, and I was scratched by the tiger demon."

Did you kill the tiger demon?

"No, that tiger demon was very powerful, invulnerable to swords and spears, and we suffered heavy casualties."

"How did Brother Wu survive?"

"The tiger demon left after it had eaten its fill."

"Chu mi chu mi".

The little dumpling was already sleepy, but when Wu Shashen talked about the past, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Qin Luo did not laugh.

I admire their courage.

...

Goodnight, bros!
