Chapter 619 Jianghu Jianghu

Canghai laughed, and the tides on both sides of the Taiwan Strait … Men sang and women cried. Gu Tianyou was full of complaints about homesickness that needed to be resolved and released. Whether it was good or bad, he just wanted to have a good time. The outline of the Fire Bird Island in front of him gradually became clearer. He quickly stopped singing and jumped down from the mast. He pulled Wild Crane and asked, "Have you been to this island?"

Ye He said, "The last time I went to the Witch Kingdom from the Northern Lands, I passed by. The scenery on this island is quite good. The island is not big. Because of the existence of the Blazing Fire Gate, the Divine Kingdom does not have troops stationed here. There are millions of families living there and there are more than a dozen streets. In the past, ships used to buy and buy supplies there. With so many transactions, it can be considered a prosperous place."

"Is there a trading market on this island?" Gu Tianyou was delighted, "Do the adventurers of the Great Western Continent often come to trade?"

Ye He nodded his head and said, "Yes, there is. However, under normal circumstances, there won't be anything worth paying attention to. This place is still too small compared to other big islands. If there is anything good, it won't be sold here."

Gu Tianyou waved his hand and said, "I don't expect to buy anything precious. I just want to buy metallic materials. I don't care if it's high-end or low-end. As long as the quantity is large enough, the more the better."

Ye He rolled his eyes and asked, "Is it still to refine Huang Yong's saber?"

Gu Tianyou was too lazy to explain in detail. He nodded and said vaguely, "That's probably what I meant."

"So, Boss Gu has already mastered the technique of refining the Iron Mother Essence Gold?" Ye He hesitated for a moment before continuing, "This technique is a secret that the Zhao Clan will never spread out. Aren't you afraid that the Zhao Clan will hear the news and no longer have a place to live in the world?"

"If you're afraid, then you won't do it. If you do, you won't be afraid." Gu Tianyou couldn't take his eyes off the land as it slowly grew closer and closer. "Brother Dao, you still have too much gain and loss and too much knowledge, so you can't help but look ahead and back. The so-called proletariat only shatters shackles. It can't let go of hatred and family ties. It can't bear to part with life and death and honor and shame, but you want to dream of heaven-defying and dao-defying. Isn't that a foolish dream?" He said excitedly.

Ye He immediately said unhappily, "We agreed that we should go our separate ways. Don't try to interfere with my revolutionary will any longer."

Gu Tianyou chuckled and said disdainfully, "I'm too lazy to do your ideological work. It's just a few casual sentences from Xing Zhi. If it weren't for the fact that you listened attentively, how could you care so much about it?"

"This argument is meaningless." Wild Crane said unhappily, "You are a fellow with ambition and selfishness but no faith. You will never understand our feelings."

The five-masted ship landed on the island and docked at the dock. Wild Crane told them that the entire island was under the management of the Blaze Gate. All ships that docked had to pay taxes to the people of the Blaze Gate, and different standards were set according to the size of the ship and the number of masts.

Ye He brought Gina, Gu Tianyou, and Little Fox Maiden, leaving behind Young Master Yi, who was studying the new mecha and entering an idiotic state, to look at the pile. The four of them got off the boat together. As expected, a man dressed in a fiery robe came to collect taxes. Gu Tianyou ordered the little fox girl to hand over ten gold coins.

Walking inland along the road, one could see a small temple at the foot of a mountain not far away. Ye He suggested that he go in and rest for a while, drink some water and eat something before leaving. Gu Tianyou immediately agreed, so Little Fox naturally had no objection. Only Gina's vocal cords were restricted by Gu Tianyou. Regardless of whether she agreed or disagreed, it looked like she was silently opposed.

The four of them approached and saw a broken plaque with the words "Xuanyuan Temple" written on it. As he walked inside, he saw that the four walls had already decayed. There were no cultivators from the three sects. There was only one divine hall and two rooms. Although the scene was decadent, he was so happy that strange rocks and jade bushes surrounded the ancient temple in the middle. It was quite elegant.

A fragrance of meat assaulted his nose. Gu Tianyou's index finger moved. He could smell the smell coming from behind the temple. He took three steps and walked to the backyard. However, there were a group of outsiders wearing towels and luxurious clothes. Each of them had black hair, blue eyes, and hooked noses. The characteristics of the outsiders were very obvious.

There was a campfire in the courtyard. This group of six people were roasting an unknown wild beast. It was roasting to a wonderful point. Its skin was scorched yellow, and the fragrance of its meat floated all over the courtyard. One of the men held a short knife and cut the meat down into a large wooden basin. The six of them were holding large chunks of the knife and eating the meat. When the four of them entered the courtyard and looked at each other, the bearded man in the lead looked over and nodded slightly.

The Jianghu people walked along the Jianghu Road, the wild temples in the mountains, and the Dao Left met. Even if they didn't have any intentions of harming others, they would still have some intentions of guarding against others.

No matter how thick-skinned Gu Tianyou was, he wouldn't dare to go over and eat and drink. He wanted to buy it with gold coins, but he didn't want to cause trouble. The little fox girl took water and dry rations from her storage ring and handed them over first, then gave them to Wild Crane and Gina. Gu Tianyou took a bite in his hand. This kind of dry food was really tasteless. Seeing the crispy aroma of barbecue butter overflowing, his mind raced.

In the Primordial Chaos Realm, Li Zhongkui was in charge of preserving the storage magical artifacts he had obtained from Zhao Hongyan and Yang Mu's cultivators. These two great sects were greedy for pleasure and brought along a lot of good wine to eat. Gu Tianyou quietly instructed Li Zhongkui to put the wine into a few jars of jade gourd. He casually took it out like a magic trick, and the fragrance of the wine immediately overflowed, causing the entire courtyard to be able to smell it.

When the six outsiders smelled the fragrance of the wine, they immediately lost their composure and peeked over from time to time.

Gu Tianyou picked up a jar and took the initiative to say, "You guys have meat and no wine, but we have wine and no meat. How about we make an exchange?"

The bearded outsider naturally responded immediately. Thus, the two groups of people gathered together. There was wine and meat. After a few simple introductions, they gradually began to talk and laugh. It turned out that this was a group of Sarasen merchants from the witch kingdom, who traveled between Terminator Forest and Fire Dragon Island all year round, specializing in selling demon crystals and animal hides. The big man in the lead had an exceptionally long name, Boyt for short. Three of the other five were his own brothers, and the other two were his own kin.

Gu Tianyou only said his name and gave Wild Crane a fake name, Li He. He introduced himself as an ordinary rich disciple of the Great Sun Dragon City. This time, he went out to travel together for an adventure. Passing through Fire Dragon Island, one was to buy some supplies, and the other was to hear that the Blazing Fire Ancestor of the Blazing Fire Sect was joining the fun for his birthday.

The clothes of the four of them were not particularly gorgeous. After Gu Tianyou was reborn, his temperament returned to its original state and he deliberately restrained his sharpness. At first glance, he saw that he was just an ordinary white-haired youth. Wild Crane was a great expert who pretended to be cowardly. Gina's vocal cords were restrained and she became Wild Crane's mute concubine. Apart from her appearance that attracted people's attention, she could not see much peculiarity. Little Fox Lady, on the other hand, had the appearance of an underage loli. In the eyes of ordinary people, she looked even more harmless to humans and animals.

The Boyette brothers traveled in Jianghu all year round. However, due to the limited level of contact, their horizons were very limited. They could not see any peculiarities in the four of them at all. Their caution immediately dissipated, and there were no more misgivings in their words.

"The four of you are new to Jianghu. I don't know how deep and shallow the water is. I've been traveling between Terminator Forest and Blaze Island all year round. For the sake of this wine, I just want to say one more word. I advise the four of you not to go to the birthday celebration of the ancestors of the Blaze Sect. Especially those of you who still have women. It's even more inconvenient." Poyette warned, "This Fire Ancestor is still a demon king in the Hungry Ghost Flower, despite being over nine hundred years old. It's a young girl that fell into his hands." He sighed endlessly.

He did not explain it clearly, but Gu Tianyou and the others had already heard it very clearly. They pretended to be taught and nodded. Oh, they thanked him, "Thank you, old man, for reminding me." He came over to eat meat. There was a bunch of nonsense in his mouth. He could not stop his hand. He cut off a large piece of meat with a rainbow and tore it open. He stuffed a mouthful into his mouth. Sure enough, he was worthy of the aroma. It was tender and fragrant, and the taste was especially good.

Ye He also cut off a large piece of meat. This fellow was indeed worthy of being born into a noble family, and his movements were much more elegant than Brother Tianyou's. After giving Gina more than half, it was her turn. She ate a few mouthfuls of meat and drank a few mouthfuls of wine. She was in the mood to chat. She looked at Boyte and asked, "Are you Demon Crystal Merchants from Terminator Forest and Fire Dragon Island? So you must be very familiar with the Ancient Merchant Dao of Terminator Forest?"

"We have long heard that the Ancient Merchant Dao is a paradise for adventurers, a sacred land for young people to sublimate their souls. The most important place to go out this time is to take this romantic path that runs through the East and the West."

"It can't be considered familiar, right?" Boyte said in a familiar tone, "I think you are all very kind young men, "I can't bear to see you guys go astray. You must know that there are some paths that once you go wrong, you won't have the chance to turn around. Let me tell you, this ancient business path is completely different from the rumors you heard in the Clear World of the Shocking Dawn Divine Kingdom. If you really go, you'll see what it means to be a demonic beast that runs rampant, and you'll also see how cruel the real laws of the jungle are."

"To tell you the truth, the reason why our brothers were able to travel from the Witch Kingdom to the Skyquaking Divine Kingdom through the Ancient Merchant Dao was actually because we came with a caravan guarded by a Great Sage. It has been more than twenty years. We would rather wander around in a foreign land to earn a living than try to return to the Ancient Merchant Dao, because that's too difficult."

Ye He deliberately said with disbelief, "Shouldn't it be so frightening? When we were at home, we heard many rumors. As far as I know, the Ancient Shang Dao is only a passage formed along the southern part of the Terminator Forest, and it hasn't gone deep into the depths of the forest. Why do demonic beasts run rampant and the laws are harsh?"

Boyette chuckled and didn't continue to emphasize her point of view. She only said that I was just spouting a few words about what she had seen and heard. For the time being, you don't have to worry too much about how you judge it. Raising his glass, he poured a full glass of wine and signaled for a drink.

Good words are hard to persuade damned ghosts. People who have been walking in Jianghu for a long time always stop when they say something and try to avoid pointless arguments. This guy is an old fogey. Gu Tianyou knew that Wild Crane was deliberately trying to trick him. It was neither kindness nor malice. He just wanted to inquire more about the latest news about the Ancient Shang Dao. There were only two passageways to the Great Western Continent Federation, one on the sea and one on land.

Relatively speaking, the one on the sea was relatively difficult to walk. To bypass the Thunder Continent, not to mention the distance, they had to avoid several forbidden areas of the Sea Demon Race, as well as countless pirate forces of varying quality. Even the Divine Kingdom's military and the Federation Navy were extremely dangerous.

As for the Ancient Shang Dao, it was easier to use it as a land route. The Terminator Forest was connected to the Dark Lands of the Extreme North, and more than half of it was always half-lit and half-dark. There were three suns in the Origin Realm, but they could not shine in the darkness of the extreme north. There were countless low-grade demonic beasts and barbarians living in this abandoned place. The Ancient Shang Dao had been formed for thousands of years. The mountain forest belt that ran through the southern part of the Terminator Forest was much easier to walk than the dark depths of the Terminator Forest.

Although there were quite a few demonic beasts, they were much easier to deal with than those powerful demonic beasts that were rumored to be banished by the Great Leader. Although the road was rugged and difficult to travel, it was not a difficult task for an era with high penetration rates of space magic tools and short-range flying equipment. In the relatively conservative Skyquaking Divine Kingdom, the witch kingdom was known as the romantic kingdom. It was known for its open folk customs, and this ancient business path that ran through the two kingdoms carried the romantic fantasies of countless young people.

Ever since the Great Western Federation and the Divine Kingdom reached a trade agreement more than 300 years ago, establishing two free trade zones in the north and south, legalizing this trade route openly, countless young people were filled with romantic passion and pursued the legendary free and unrestrained romantic capital one after another.

The last time Wild Crane went to the Federation, he was impersonating a team of white adepts who had infiltrated the Federation. Along the way, there was a great expert from the Federation Magic Guild guarding the place. Although they encountered some demonic beasts along the way, they did not pose a threat. This time, he had gone through the Ancient Shang Dao again, but he had lost his old horse. Therefore, when he heard that these people were from the Terminator Forest, he naturally wanted to inquire more about them.

Everyone was a little unwilling to speculate. Boyte obviously regarded Wild Crane as a foolish youth who ignored the heavens and earth. After hearing a few gossip, he took the initiative to conquer the Ancient Merchant Dao. He simply couldn't be bothered to speak any more and concentrated on dealing with the wine in front of him. The campfire crackled, and the whole big rock sheep was eaten to the point that there were bones on the skeleton.

Boyette and the others had had enough to eat and drink, and had rested enough. They stood up and were about to continue their journey.

At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps came from the front yard of the Divine Hall. A dozen men quickly ran into the yard. The leader was a skinny man. As soon as he entered, he stared at Boyt and said coldly, "You guys are not slow, but it's a pity that you're not fast enough." '"Boyt, don't you want to sell that Golden Swallowing Beast's Demon Pill for a big price? Isn't the price we Shennong Society is paying not enough?" He snorted coldly and said smugly, "Boyt, don't you want to sell that Golden Swallowing Beast's Demon Pill for a big price?"

Gu Tianyou and the others watched coldly. When he said the words Shennong Hui, Ye He's expression changed for a moment. His mouth moved as if he wanted to say something, but he resisted saying it. Gu Tianyou's heart skipped a beat when he saw this. The Boyt brothers' colors changed as they withdrew their scimitars from their waist and glared angrily at the man.

"Hong Wenbiao, your Shennong Association is too pressuring!" Boyt's eyes flashed with despair and anger. He stared at the skinny man. "Everyone encountered it together, If the Metal Swallowing Demonic Beast hadn't been injured, we wouldn't have had the chance to kill it, "In terms of contribution, the one who was severely injured earlier is the one who is most qualified to obtain this demon core. Since he has not appeared, according to the rules of the Terminator Forest, he should be relying on the will of the heavens. Whoever gets it belongs to us. Our brothers risked their lives to obtain it first. Your Shennong Association is not righteous enough to do so."

He snorted coldly and said, "Since you've chased us here, you should know that this is the territory of the Blaze Sect, a place protected by the laws of the Divine Kingdom and the rules of the Blaze Sect. We are afraid of you in the Terminator Forest, and we can only flee for our lives at sea. But what can you do to us here?"

Although Boyette's words were tough, he clearly lacked confidence. Gu Tianyou was not a troublemaker, but he was intrigued by the name of the Metal Swallowing Beast. He interrupted and asked, "What kind of Metal Swallowing Beast is this? What kind of demon core are you talking about?"
