Chapter 23: The surging Nu River
One month later.
Lujiang River is an extremely large and wide river, whose origin and end are unknown, whose width and length are unknown.
All we know is that it spans across many realms, including the nine and three realms.
It took Bai Donglin nearly a month to travel across several countries and finally arrive at the Dongming Country, where the Nujiang River flows through.
He decided to take the water route, which could save him a lot of time. In the past month, he had killed several horses and worn out several pairs of shoes, but he had not yet left the border of Jiusan Territory.
The journey was too long. He was not afraid of hard work or danger, but he just didn't want to waste time on the journey.
He carefully studied the map his second brother gave him and discovered that the Lujiang River flows through the Bian Erqi Region, and there is a shortcut in the Bian Erqi Region that can lead directly to the Lei Ze Region!
This route saves more than half the time compared to traveling by land!
So he came to the largest dock in Dongming Kingdom, ready to take a huge boat down the river.
Linjiang City, as the name suggests, is a city next to Lujiang River. It is an extremely large city and the largest city Bai Donglin has ever seen since he came to this world.
The reason is naturally because of Lujiang, where there is the largest Lujiang Wharf in the three regions of Bianjiu.
Although this city is within the borders of Dongming Kingdom, it is not under the jurisdiction of Dongming Kingdom, but is managed by several major sects.
There are not always huge ships passing through Bian Erqi Territory. Bai Donglin has inquired and learned that he has to wait for half a month for the next ship.
So he had no choice but to settle down in Linjiang City first. At this moment, he was having dinner in a restaurant which provided food and accommodation. He also rented a small courtyard at the back.
“Bang!”
The sound of a gavel attracted the attention of everyone in the restaurant.
A storyteller with white hair and beard looked around and saw that the diners' attention was attracted. He stroked his beard and said in a loud voice:
"It is said that a year ago, a demon appeared in Lanling Prefecture. This demon had a head as big as a bucket, four arms and three legs, and was 38 feet tall. It ate a hundred people every day and was extremely cruel! The people of Lanling Prefecture were in a state of panic all day long..."
"As the saying goes! People should not be too arrogant. Being too arrogant will bring disaster, even demons are the same! This demon relied on his own great ability to commit such a heinous crime!"
“Bang!”
The old storyteller slammed the gavel hard again.
"Guess what?"
The more impatient guests in the restaurant could not stand it anymore and urged loudly:
"Tell me quickly, what happened next?"
"Don't keep me in suspense, old man!"
"Don't you just want a reward? I'll give it to you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a crackling sound, and everyone threw silver and copper coins onto the table.
The old storyteller smiled and nodded with satisfaction, slammed the gavel again, and continued:
"Speaking of which, this ferocious demon was so bold that he actually wanted to attack the provincial capital. However, he never expected that the eldest son of the provincial capital, the most outstanding disciple of the Purple Talisman Sect, Young Master Tian Fu, was returning home to visit his family and ran into the demon head-on..."
"It was a fight that turned the world upside down..."
At this moment, a man and a woman came in from the hotel entrance. Both of them had extraordinary temperament, the man was handsome and the woman was pretty.
I took a look at the packed first floor, and saw that the only seat left was by the window on the second floor, where a man in a black robe was sitting alone.
Then he walked forward with his junior sister, his eyes lit up, what a refined and easy-going handsome man, he bowed his hand and asked politely: "Sir, may I and my junior sister squeeze at this table for a while?"
Bai Donglin raised his eyes to glance at the two of them. They had extraordinary temperament and subtle aura, so they must be cultivators.
The table in this restaurant was very big. Not only three people, but even eight people could sit at it. Other people in the restaurant did not come over to squeeze with him, simply because he was too handsome and dashing. Most people would be too embarrassed to come over and disturb him.
Seeing that the other party was quite polite, Bai Donglin smiled and said:
"You're welcome, please feel free to do as you please, sir."
"Thank you!"
The man and his junior sister then sat down, and the cute woman in purple was still secretly looking at Bai Donglin.
Oh, woman!
Bang! At this time, the storyteller was almost at the climax of the story. He became more and more excited, and his saliva was flying.
"I saw Young Master Tianfu use his hand as a pen to draw a talisman in the air, and directly summoned the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder! The Nine Netherworld Fire!"
"That demon spews flames from its mouth..."
"The Nine Heavens Divine Thunder split the demon into pieces, and then the Nine Netherworld Fire burned its soul to pieces, leaving it with no place to bury its body!"
"In the end, good prevails over evil. After Master Tian Fu exorcises the demons, he walks away in style!"
After he finished speaking, the old man picked up the teacup and drank it in big gulps. It was not easy to earn money! His throat was so hot that it was smoking!

At this time, the quiet diners in the restaurant seemed to have just escaped from a fierce battle and cheered loudly.
"Good! Good kill!"
"Good kill! All the demons and monsters can be killed!"
"Master Tianfu is mighty and domineering!"
Bai Donglin sipped his wine and didn't comment on the storyteller's performance. Storytellers usually polished the content, which was bragging to put it bluntly! Only by coaxing the audience could you make money. If you told it dryly, although it might be closer to the truth, the audience would not buy it.
At this time, the purple-clothed woman pushed his brother's arm and asked innocently: "Brother, is this old man talking about you? I remember your name outside is Young Master Tianfu!"
"Brother, when did you learn the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, Nine Netherworld Fire and other spells? I have never heard of them before, but they sound very powerful just by the names. I want to see them too!"
The man saw the faint smile in the purple-clothed woman's eyes and said helplessly:
"Junior sister, don't you know my abilities? Stop teasing me!"
"The food is here, the food is here, come and eat. I don't know why you like this restaurant so much and always come here to eat."
The purple-clothed woman didn't say anything, but just ate the dishes on the table. The man smiled at Bai Donglin embarrassedly. He really had no way to deal with this foodie sister.
Next time, I must not give in to her persistence and never take her out of the sect again.
Bai Donglin took a curious look at the man nicknamed Young Master Tianfu. As the saying goes, there are only wrong names but no wrong nicknames.
Tianfu and the Zifu Sect should be sects that specialize in talismans.
I thought of Maoshan, Longhushan, and Uncle Jiu in my previous life. These people who played with talismans were very good at catching ghosts and zombies! The two people from the Purple Talisman Sect did not communicate much with Bai Donglin, and they ate their own food.
Bai Donglin is not a very outgoing person. Although he is polite and courteous to others, it is impossible for him to take the initiative to talk to others and make friends.
Young Master Tianfu originally wanted to come over and make some friends, but when he sat with Bai Donglin, his spiritual sense gave him a crazy warning!
The elegant and easy-going man in front of him is extremely powerful, making him feel a sense of crisis of death, which means that the other party can kill him in seconds.
This also made him dare not think about making friends anymore. Being with the king is like being with a tiger. Being with someone who can kill you at any time is too stressful.
Don't be fooled by the fact that he is drinking with ease, under the table, he holds a stack of talismans in his hands! They are all treasures that can blow up the restaurant in an instant, but this can't bring him a sense of security, and his divine sense is still frantically warning him!
As for the woman in purple, she was eating with gusto. Perhaps she was a foodie.
The world is big, but eating is the most important thing! (End of this chapter)
