Zhu Tian: A journey of spiritual practice starting from Joy of Life

Chapter 6: Suzhou Water Bandits
Early the next morning, Leng Feibai came to the front hall of Fan Mansion carrying a package.

“Fei Bai!”

The old lady came to Leng Feibai on crutches, helped him straighten his clothes, and said, "When you are out, don't argue with others easily, but don't let others bully you either. Don't be stingy with the money I prepared for you. When it's almost gone, hurry back to the Fan Mansion!"

Leng Feibai nodded and said, "Don't worry, grandma, I understand."

After saying this, Leng Feibai looked at the servants inside and said, "I'm not home, so I'll trouble you all to take care of Grandma and Fan Xian. If Fan Xian causes any trouble, please send me a letter and I'll deal with him when I get back. Of course, you don't have to send a letter, Steward Zhou!"

Leng Feibai knelt down in front of the old lady and kowtowed to her three times before turning around and leaving the Fan Mansion.

Outside Danzhou City, Leng Feibai just left the city and flew into the air using the Cloud-Stepping Step, flying towards the port in the northwest outside the city.

The spy from the Inspection Institute who was secretly watching Leng Feibai widened his eyes when he saw his movements.

They never expected that the ability to fly and hide in the ground, which only a grandmaster could perform, would appear in a little child.

It was at this moment that Leng Feibai officially entered the sight of Kyoto’s top management.

Leng Feibai flew all the way and arrived at an open space on the coast in less than half a quarter of an hour.

Although Danzhou Port is just a small city, its shipping industry is extremely developed.

If you go by water, it is easy to go south of the Yangtze River, or to Northern Qi or Dongyi City.

What's more, Danzhou is not far from Suzhou in the south of the Yangtze River. If we take the water route, we can arrive there tomorrow afternoon.

Leng Feibai quickly found a passenger ship to Suzhou and spent ten taels of silver to buy a separate cabin.

Inside the cabin, Leng Feibai leaned against the wall and pointed a finger at his dantian in the middle of his chest.

With a flash of light, Leng Feibai was teleported to the twelfth floor with the bundle and placed it in the hall on the first floor.

Three days ago, after Leng Feibai was promoted to the seventh rank, all the light curtains on the third level of the twelve floors dissipated, which also meant that Leng Feibai had mastered the third level of the twelve floors.

Unlike the second floor, the third floor of the Twelve-Storey Building is divided into two rooms, one on the left and one on the right, with a sign hanging outside each room.

"Divine Weapon Pavilion"

Ten Thousand Books

Leng Feibai looked at the two signs, a fire rising in his eyes.

Wanjuanshu is a study room that contains many novels, comics, classics and other books.

It can also be used as some entertainment when the practice becomes boring.

The Divine Weapon Pavilion is an arsenal. Leng Feibai will never forget the scene when he first entered the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

The Divine Weapon Pavilion is divided into three floors, each floor is about 300 square meters.

The first-class weapons such as the Yitian Sword, the Dragon Slaying Sabre, the Black Iron Heavy Sword, and the Ziwei Soft Sword are only the first-level peripheral weapons.

Going inside, Song Que's Jiuge Divine Sword, Zhao Yun's Longdan Bright Silver Spear, and Lu Bu's Fang Tian Huaji appeared here one by one.

On the second floor, there are spiritual weapons such as the peerless sword, the Snow Drinking Knife, the Fire Scale Sword, etc.

As for the third level, Leng Feibai only saw a dark purple longbow on the periphery, with nine sharp arrows inserted in the bow.

Leng Feibai also recognized that bow, the magical weapon Tianzhu in the game "The Young Heroes of Divine Weapons".

"The first level is a sharp weapon, the second level is a spiritual weapon, and the third level is a divine weapon!"

Leng Feibai licked his lips and said, "It's a pity that I can't use the weapons of the last two levels now. Otherwise, it would be easy to deal with those Grandmasters."

After Leng Feibai finished speaking, he took an iron mace from the shelf beside him.

"Kanglong Mace: Made of meteorite iron from outer space, it is about four feet long and dark black. It has a mechanism inside that can detect the weaknesses of weapons and break them with one blow. The vibration of the wheel can break all illusions." "Mace techniques are mostly based on big openings and closings, which is perfect for use with the Tenglong Jue! Plus, the Kanglong Mace can break most weapons. This time when I go out for training, I can protect myself!"

After Leng Feibai finished speaking, he left the Twelve-story Tower with the Kanglong Mace.

On the deck, Leng Feibai held his iron mace and silently looked at the turbulent ocean.

The sea was very calm at this moment, with a salty sea breeze blowing from time to time, making people feel inexplicably relaxed.

Leng Feibai murmured to himself, "It's a pity that it's not night yet. I really want to see what the bright moon over the sea looks like!"

The boatman beside him said angrily, "What's so good about the moon? It looks the same everywhere. When you encounter pirates, you'll cry!"

"Water Bandits!"

When Leng Feibai heard the word "water bandits", he quickly asked, "Brother, what's the surname of the water bandit leader you mentioned? Is it Xia?"

The boatman said angrily, "The bandit leader's surname is Zhao, not Xia. He goes by the moniker Hunjianglong (Hunjiang Dragon), and he has dozens of minions under his command. He's been roaming the seas for over a decade. Those beasts even fire flares as a warning before robbing. Any fishing boat, merchant ship, or passenger ship that encounters them ends up with murder and shipwreck. They even capture women on board, torture them to death, and throw them into the water to feed the fish."

After saying that, the boatman walked away angrily.

Leng Feibai said nothing, lowering his head in thought. "It seems the boatman was talking about just ordinary pirates, and has nothing to do with the pirates raised by the Ming family in the original novel. I just don't know if Xia Qifei's water stronghold is still there. I wonder if Fan Xian, based on the character design of the TV series, is still in collusion with Xia Qifei, the pirate."

After finishing his thoughts, Leng Feibai continued to look at the scenery on the water until the sun set in the west.

On the deck, Leng Feibai took out a few baked buns from his arms and started eating and drinking with the water in the gourd at his waist.

"It looks like this is your first time going out, little brother!"

The person who was speaking was a wealthy businessman in the same industry. Leng Feibai was certain that this man did not know martial arts, but the two guards beside him had the strength of about the fourth or fifth rank.

"Yes, now that I'm old enough, I should travel a little."

Leng Feibai smiled and said, "After all, Qing Kingdom is so vast, I wonder how many beautiful sights I haven't seen."

The wealthy businessman smiled and said, "Although the scenery in the world is different, in fact, they all lead to the same destination. There is not much difference."

Leng Feibai did not answer until the sun set and the water was pitch black.

But after practicing the Five Contemplations, Leng Feibai could see everything within a hundred meters around him even in the dark.

"It seems that everything is peaceful now. We will arrive in Suzhou tomorrow. I wonder what the difference is between the Jiangnan region in this world and the Jiangnan region in my previous world."

After making up his mind, Leng Feibai prepared to return to the cabin to rest, but at this moment a gust of wind came from behind him.

"Hmm." Leng Feibai dodged sideways and grabbed in mid-air. An arrow with a note on it fell into his hand.

"The pirates are really here!"

As soon as Leng Fei finished speaking, golden light flashed in his eyes, and everything within a hundred meters around him was captured in his eyes.

Then I saw a man wearing coarse clothes and carrying a longbow in his hand rowing a small boat towards the distance.

"Water bandits?"

Leng Feibai, whose father in this life died as a pirate, had a deep dislike for bandits. He turned and shouted at the boatman who was patrolling on the deck not far away, "Boatman, boatman!"

When the boatman heard this, he ran over and asked, "Sir, what can I do for you?"

Leng Feibai said nothing, handed the arrow in his hand to him and said, "This is the Hunjiang Dragon you mentioned!"

After saying that, Leng Feibai used the Cloud-riding Wind Step and flew towards the direction where the arrow came from.
