Chapter 309

At this time, someone had already gone to notify other guests on the boat that this boat had been bought, and informed them of the possible trouble, and offered three times the compensation for the boat fare.

The building boat stopped in the river and lowered two small boats, letting the guests who wanted to get off the boat come and go.

And Yuan Hao and the others could let go and do it. He nailed eight small flags in the eight directions of the building boat. The silver-white banner flags fluttered, and the runes on the flags flowed in the wind, faintly turning into a spiritual bird resembling a wild goose!

"Flowing Wind Goose!"

Xu Yang did not get off the boat, but took a dozen maids to change to a cabin.

Except for the sailors who sailed the boat, the other manpower was not transferred to Qian Chen and the others. The servants who originally served the boat now all surrounded Xu Yang alone, which made his lineup even bigger than the noble family children on the boat.

Xu Yang watched Yuan Hao set up the array with his hands behind his back, his tone carrying a trace of appreciation, and nodded slightly: "This array can manifest the phantom of the Flowing Wind Goose, obviously it has obtained the essence of the Dharma Spirit!"

"The Flowing Wind Goose is best at borrowing the wind power. Every sixty years, it flies from Northern Wei, passes through the south of Great Jin, and flies overseas. It is said that it will also fly over the Eastern Extreme Great Wilderness Continent, and then through the Northern Extreme Great Bright Realm, back to the Northern Wei Great Marsh. The distance during the period is difficult to calculate. Many great cultivators have not walked so far in their lives, but a group of spiritual birds migrates once every sixty years. It can be seen how good the Flowing Wind Goose is at manipulating the wind power!"

"The strength of ordinary Flowing Wind Geese is only eighth rank, equivalent to the Qi Refinement realm of cultivators, while the head goose is seventh rank, sixth rank, and some head geese of large goose flocks are also in the Demon King realm. The reason why they can complete such a miracle is by gathering in groups, each group of tens of thousands, or even millions, arranged in an array!"

"The goose array is mighty and vast, like a Kunpeng spreading its wings, spanning dozens of miles, traveling 100,000 miles a day. Every Flowing Wind Goose in the goose array, with the strength of an eighth-rank spiritual bird, has a flight speed that can surpass a Core Formation True Person! When the Flowing Wind Goose forms an array, even a great cultivator of the Yin Spirit realm dare not face its edge."

The maid accompanying him heard this anecdote and opened her mouth in a daze, somewhat incredulous—this common, even often hunted as meat, spiritual bird, actually had such a glorious moment.

A Core Formation True Person is already the top batch of cultivators that can be seen in the secular world of the Central Lands!

And the Flowing Wind Goose is a common meat dish at the autumn banquets of major noble families.

The gap in magic power, supernatural power, and status is like clouds and mud, but these humble and weak creatures, after gathering in an array, can make great cultivators of the Yin Spirit realm dare not block them, and countless Primordial Spirit True Immortals have scruples, walking on flat ground.

Making demon race great sages feel awe, and the proud dragon race borrow the road!

For billions of years, how many famous divine dynasties and heavenly courts have vanished into smoke, how many immortal powerhouses have died and their souls extinguished, without even leaving their names. But these humble creatures still migrate year after year, constantly multiplying!

The migration path of the Flowing Wind Goose every year is called the Goose Path.

There is a saying in the Shenzhou: Wherever the Goose Path reaches, it is all the King's land.

Unifying the Shenzhou, the divine dynasties of Heavenly Xia, Heavenly Shang, and Heavenly Zhou, are the lands that ruled all the migration of the Flowing Wind Goose!

In the ancient Book of Songs, the wind, elegance, and hymns related to geese occupy a large part of the chapters.

"The Flowing Wind Goose is born to be able to set up a goose array, which secretly matches the principles of heaven and earth, so the oldest military inheritance in the Central Lands, from the bird and beast nature, understands the art of war. The Saint of War realized the goose array from the Flowing Wind Goose and created one of the ten arrays of the military family, the Goose Row Array!" Xu Yang sighed. He stared at the actions of Yuan Hao and the others...

Those eight array flags summoned a strong wind, making the strong wind travel beside the building boat.

The strong wind manifested its shape and color, and the surging airflow wrapped around the building boat, manifesting the image of a Flowing Wind Goose. It spread its wings and glided on the water surface. The building boat was like a sharp arrow, breaking the water surface and shooting downstream.

One of the two old men drinking on the boat suddenly laughed: "Amazing! The array formation manifests, clearly it is a Bagua magic array, but it uses a trace of the military array's mystery. Manipulating the strong wind to blow is not easy, and making the building boat part of the array formation, making it actively ride the wind, has a trace of turning decay into magic!"

Another old man in black shook his head and said: "Although the array formation is exquisite, Sun En's power is so huge, once Gezao Mountain makes a move, they may not be able to escape!"

"It is said that Xu Daofu will also make a move!"

Hearing this name, the person who started to praise frowned slightly: "This person is a candidate for the twenty-eight characters of the Shenzhou—if it weren't for his humble origin, when his senior brother stepped down, he should have been among them, instead of achieving that Wang family dragon elephant!"

"Who doesn't know that the relationship between Sun Tian Shi and the Wang family was the best two hundred years ago. At that time, Sun En had just proven the Primordial Spirit, was honored as the Libationer of the Dao Academy, and had the best relationship with the noble families. The Wang family had Wang Xizhi worship him as a teacher. Who would have thought that this Sun Tian Shi didn't value family background much, and later repeatedly favored the humble, and even the secular!"

The old man in black sighed.

"The relationship between the two sides has long faded!"

"The noble families of the world ultimately respect the Zhang family! Sun En might have hoped to win the support of the noble families early on! But the power of the noble families in the Orthodox Dao is already large enough. If he favors the noble families again, wouldn't this Heavenly Master of his become a puppet of the noble families?"

"Among the three Heavenly Masters, only he cannot sit firmly in Gezao Mountain! After all, when the previous Lu Tianshi was on Gezao Mountain, his Sun family was just accepted into the sect, which cannot compare to many old acquaintances who are deeply rooted."

He nodded slightly to the old man opposite:

"Tao Tianshi is relied upon by the Sima family, and was known as the Prime Minister in the Mountains early on, and is valued by the noble families. Although Quju Mountain does not value family background and insists on master-apprentice inheritance, it ultimately has a foundation among the noble families."

"The Zhang Heavenly Master has been passed down for generations and is faintly the head of the Orthodox Dao, commanding the Three Mountains. The ancient human emperor noble families do not appear, almost the head of the noble families in the world. The foundation is deep, and among the noble families, it is known as South Zhang and North Kong, only the Kong family of Northern Wei can compare."

"Only Sun Heavenly Master has the shallowest foundation. Among the Gezao Mountain lineage, those who listen to the Zhang Heavenly Master's orders are probably more than those who listen to him. In this situation, if he doesn't support the humble, he will really be hollowed out!"

This old man sighed repeatedly, obviously somewhat unable to look at the various styles of the noble families in power today: "The Nine-Rank Middle-Orthodox ultimately imprisoned the destiny of the Central Lands. Not to mention the humble children, even among the noble families, aren't there a large number of talents who are not appreciated? They can only entrust their feelings to the mountains and rivers, and be unrestrained!"

"Haha!" The old man in black laughed loudly: "If Brother Jiao thinks Sun En has been wronged, there is no need. Do you know why the old elders of Gezao Mountain have been repeatedly suppressed in the past fifty years, and why the southeastern noble families have turned to support Sun En this time?"

"I seem to have heard something, I heard it is overseas..."

"That's right!" The old man in black laughed: "Shenxiao Sect, Yunxiao Palace, Nine Palace City, Jinting Yuquan, Baicao Sect, Danxia Sect, Kunming Sect, and even Shaoqing Sword Sect, have all had the intention of returning to the Central Lands in recent years!"

"Not long ago, a demon cave appeared in Guangling Commandery. It is said that it was caused by a few local small noble families colluding with the Shenxiao Sect, wanting to invade the secret realm circled by the Louguan Dao. As a result, the Lin family came aggressively, but left like a stray dog!" The old man in black laughed loudly.

"Sun En colluded with overseas, but he didn't put us cultivators of the Central Lands in his eyes!"

The old man named Jiao opposite shook his head repeatedly, obviously although he didn't like the various styles of the noble families in power today, he hated the overseas moral corruption and shameless style even more.

"If Xu Daofu makes a move, no matter how wonderful this array is, it will be vulnerable!"

The old man named Jiao stroked his beard and sighed: "To say something unpleasant, Brother Huan! Although Xu Daofu is a junior from a humble background, you and I are not the enemy of this person's one blow!"

"Although we are pointing fingers here, commenting on the world situation, and pointing out these Primordial Spirit True Immortals such as Sun En, Zhang Jiong, and Tao Hongjing, but in the eyes of Primordial Spirit True Immortals, how are we not like ants?"

The old man of the Huan family was speechless and could only smile bitterly: "Not to mention these top figures! Even if the juniors of the twenty-eight characters of the Shenzhou come, I am afraid that these old people like us will not be in their eyes!"

The building boat went down like an arrow, a hundred miles in an instant.

Most of the guests on the other three floors of the boat had already left by small boat, but the few guests on the fourth floor did not choose to leave. I don't know if they had confidence in themselves, were not afraid of being involved in these troubles, or had other plans.

Yuan Hao put away the remaining banner flags, his brows slightly frowned, and he said with a trace of confusion: "Strange, why was the array setting so smooth this time? It actually gave me a feeling of divine help... It was originally a full-strength array, but this time it was completed in one go?"

"According to the current speed, it will only take two days and one night to reach Jiankang!" Du Xiuniang said: "It surpasses ordinary flight magic treasures, and there are probably not many people who can catch up with this boat. The difficulty of the mission should have been weakened!"

Yuan Hao nodded in approval: "But don't be careless, the speed of the boat is fast, but it doesn't affect the real experts. We will take turns to be on alert!"

"Xiuniang, you follow the plot characters... I thought Zhang Huaien was just a trigger to trigger the conflict between the two major forces, but they were able to buy this boat so easily. There should be some hidden benefits on these plot characters!"

The sky gradually entered the night, and the building boat had traveled a thousand miles, and the sound of water under the boat was rapid.

The journey was as quiet as if they had shaken off the pursuers.

Qian Chen sat at the bow of the boat, selected a feather fan of relatively high quality from a pile of captured magic treasures in his Qiankun bag, and refined it on the spot to use as a disguised magic treasure to carry with him.

The seals on this feather fan were quite exquisite, and it was a set of seals containing celestial phenomena, wind, and thunder.

Most importantly, sitting at the bow of the boat and shaking the feather fan, isn't it handsome!

And the feather fan and the ancient zither are a better match. Carrying two golden and silver child pigs with him, playing a song first when someone comes, and shaking the feather fan lightly, can also put great psychological pressure on the interceptors.

Zhang Huaien was on the side, watching the building boat fly past all the way, and the scenery on the right bank changed in an instant. He couldn't help but feel a little relieved and praised: "Don't say, those righteous men have extraordinary supernatural powers, just this array formation is not inferior to the true transmission of the immortal sect. It really doesn't look like they are from a loose cultivator background!"

Zhixia was holding his flying sword on the side, washing and refining it with true qi.

The closer he got to Jiankang, the more vigilant he became, and he was accumulating spirit to prepare for changes.

Zhang Huaien saw that he didn't pay attention to himself, turned his head to Qian Chen and said: "What is his attitude? Now there is more than one person protecting me on the boat? He is busy with cultivation at this time, and when he encounters an enemy, what is the use of the little true qi added?"

"And, our boat is so fast, they may not be able to catch up tonight!"

"It's not that they may not be able to catch up, but they have already caught up!" Qian Chen suddenly said.

Zhang Huaien was startled when he heard this: "What?"

"Did you see that eagle?" Qian Chen pointed to a small black dot in the clouds. Zhang Huaien leaned over in the moonlight and took a long time to see that it was a flying bird.

"There are many demon beasts in the big river, it is normal to have an eagle!" Zhang Huaien said nervously: "Don't scare me!"

"But this eagle has been following us for an hour! It is a strange species to fly so fast!" Qian Chen smiled slightly: "Following us all the way, it shouldn't be that it treats such a big boat as food, right?"

Zhang Huaien stood up nervously, looking up in horror.

Qian Chen said calmly: "Don't be nervous, you will be discovered if you are nervous. Didn't you see that both of us are pretending not to see it?"

"Why haven't they made a move yet?"

Zhang Huaien lowered his head repeatedly, but even his back was stiff!

Zhixia opened his eyes and said: "Of course they are waiting for the opportunity. We are going downstream, as long as they are in front of us, they can completely set up an ambush on the river and occupy the geographical advantage..."

"Then why don't we cross the big river and change the route to walk along the north bank near Northern Wei?" Zhang Huaien said somewhat fearfully.

"This idea is not bad. If we can deal with those water demons in the river, we can jump back and forth on both sides of the big river, and we can also disrupt the enemy's layout."

Qian Chen praised, and then changed the subject: "But..."

Zhixia stood up, and the long sword slowly came out of its sheath.

"They are here!"
