Chapter 163 Wulin Misleading Stories 33
Time passed quickly. When there was still a month before the martial arts conference, Feng Wu was urged three times a day by the Wu Ma Shen to take the team and set off to Beidou Academy in Langzhou Prefecture as soon as possible.
The martial arts conference is held every three years. This year's location is in Langzhou Prefecture in the south, which is a long way from Penglai. Taking into account unexpected circumstances, it is indeed time to set off.
Most of the people brought by the sect this time are from the inner sect, plus some of the disciples of the sect leader and four elders, the team has 25 people. The eldest sister Feng Wu will set off first with the disciples, while Wu Ma Shen and two elders will follow far behind to support them.
The sect also regards this long journey as an experience for the disciples, so people like Wu Ma Shen will naturally not follow them around to provide close protection.
Still carrying his valuables, which were no bigger than a watermelon, Feng Wu once again took a group of babies down the mountain to hunt wild monsters.
Elder Chu looked at the blurry figures on the mountain path and said worriedly, "We're going to Langzhou, trekking through mountains and rivers. I don't know what kind of dangers these children will encounter."
"Don't worry! With Feifeng here, the children will be fine. This time, several major sects will send their best disciples to compete. I hope these children can stay for a while longer!" The elder said quietly after taking a puff of cigarette.
Feng Wu didn't know that someone was worried about their journey. He could not reach a distance of more than a hundred miles by riding or walking every day. In the remaining time, Feng Wu did not forget to practice sword swinging every day. Because he had to hurry on his way, Feng Wu reduced the number of sword swings from ten thousand in Penglai to one thousand.
At first, two disciples who wanted to slack off started to make a fuss, saying they didn't want to work so hard. Traveling was tiring enough, so why did they have to do that boring sword-swinging practice every day?
In order to maintain his absolute authority in the team, Feng Wu hung the two guys upside down under the cliff for two hours before he finally made the two troublemakers behave themselves.
After that, the atmosphere became much more harmonious. Fengwu had the final say, and they finally reached the Lancang River ferry after stumbling over and over again.
To go down to Langzhou, one must cross a wide river.
The Lancang River ferry has been crowded with people recently because of the upcoming martial arts conference. In addition to the disciples who have come to attend the conference, there are also many wandering knights who like to join in the fun.
The passenger ship had a limited capacity, so Feng Wu and his group were scheduled to board the ship three days later. Squeezing out of the crowded crowd, a young junior sister suddenly exclaimed.
"Oh! My purse is missing?" The little sister looked around in confusion. There were travelers coming and going around her, and she had no idea when she lost her purse.
Feng Wu smiled and sighed, "I've been telling you 'be careful with your belongings' so many times along the way, and you actually fell for it?"
It was the first time for the little junior sister to go out of the sect to gain experience. She was still new to the world and had no idea how dangerous the martial world was. The eldest sister spoke so harshly and mercilessly to her in front of her brothers and sisters. The little girl felt wronged and wanted to cry, but when she met the eldest sister's calm and steady gaze, she forced herself to hold back the tears that were brewing.
"Sister, I'm sorry. It was my carelessness that allowed someone to take advantage of me. I'll change in the future..." Her tone was so cautious that anyone who didn't know would think Feng Wu had bullied her. It was her own belongings that were lost, and Feng Wu was only reminding her out of consideration for their fellow disciples.
Didn't you expect to piss someone off so much? How come this Jianghu kid looks even more fragile than a lady from an aristocratic family?
Because they still had to stay at the ferry for two days, Feng Wu immediately decided that everyone should temporarily retreat to a small town twenty miles away and find an inn to wait for the boat to depart.
Feng Wu asked everyone not to run around for two days. The martial arts conference was about to be held, and those dangerous elements in the martial arts world who had not been out for a long time were ready to take advantage of the conference to make a move. The disciples brought by Feng Wu were no match for those old martial arts masters.
"If you have nothing to do these two days, stay in your room and meditate and practice. If you don't have anything to do, don't stay in the inn."
Feng Wu gave careful instructions and checked the situation of the inn one by one with his spiritual sense. He did not find any problems. Feng Wu arranged these troublesome people into groups of two, sharing a room, and then let everyone go back to their rooms to rest.
It just so happened that she was traveling alone and could live in a room by herself.
The environment of the inn in the small town was not as good as that in the provincial capital. Feng Wu smelled the faint musty smell in the room and frowned unhappily. Thinking about the innkeeper's words that were so exaggerated, he rubbed his slightly swollen and painful temples and felt that it was really hard for him to earn points.
Two days passed by almost on the count of a second.
The younger brothers and sisters were quite excited when they got on the big passenger ship going down the river. They stood on the deck and chatted, enjoying the river scenery along the way.
Seven days later, the passenger ship arrived safely at Langzhou Wharf.
In Langzhou in March, the gray sky looked like it was pierced by thousands of long swords, and a continuous and dense drizzle was falling.
The few people who got off the boat walked quickly in the drizzle. After a while, their bodies were mostly wet. In March in the south, the pervasive water vapor brought a slight chill. The wet clothes stuck to their skin, making people shiver.
Even on rainy days, the streets of Langzhou City are still bustling and noisy. Passersby holding oil umbrellas are walking in a hurry. In the shops along the street, there are customers selecting goods or bargaining with each other.
Feng Wu and his group went to seven or eight inns with oil-paper umbrellas, and found that almost all of them were full. Even the cheapest bunk beds in the inn were overcrowded.
Unexpectedly, a small martial arts conference revitalized the entire interest chain of Langzhou Prefecture.
But they couldn't find an inn to stay in, so they had to sleep on the streets tonight.
Some junior brothers suggested finding a village outside the city to stay, while some junior sisters thought they could find a dilapidated temple to stay. Feng Wu rejected all three in his heart, but the situation was stronger than him, and now was not the time to be stubborn.
At the gate of the city stood a man in a dark blue round-necked robe, his eyes occasionally falling on the girls coming in and out.
A group of people, holding umbrellas, walked quickly through the crowd and were about to leave the city gate when an anxious man with a goatee inadvertently looked at Feng Wu's face. The man hurriedly straightened the umbrella and opened the hanging scroll in his left hand with his right hand.
The painting showed a small portrait of a girl. The man compared it carefully three times, his eyes showing surprise. He quickly put away the scroll and walked forward.
"Miss, may I ask if your surname is Yu?"
Feng Wu nodded, "My last name is indeed Yu, and yours is?"
The goateed man relaxed completely upon hearing this. He bowed respectfully to Feng Wu and said, "Miss Yu, my master knows you're heading south to participate in the martial arts conference, so he asked me to wait at the city gate to welcome you. He's already prepared food and a bath for you. Would you like to come with me?"
"What's your master's name? I've only been in the world for a short time, but I've never met anyone as hospitable as your master."
The man with a goatee: "..."
