I can upgrade my body

The unknown merchant ship that crashed into the dock was only guarded by a few government officials.

Qin Mo and Wu Yu easily escaped their sight and boarded the unknown merchant ship.

"It is indeed that merchant ship, even the fire arrows remain on it." Qin Mo said softly.

There were many scorch marks on the deck, and some arrows that had not been burned were deeply inserted into the deck. It looked like it had experienced a battle.

But Qin Mo knew that from beginning to end, no one had ever appeared on this unknown ship.

Qin Mo and Wu Yu searched for a while on the deck and then entered the cabin.

This cabin is no different from an ordinary merchant ship, with many large and small rooms.

Qin Mo checked one by one and found that there was no trace of mess in these rooms. They were clean and tidy.

"Where did everyone on the boat go?" Qin Mo was a little confused.

He opened his yin and yang eyes, but he didn't see any resentment or blood...it didn't seem to be evil.

Wu Yu also took out a burning talisman.

This burning talisman is very sensitive and will burn automatically as long as there is any trace of death energy around it.

But still no response.

For a moment, both of them were amazed.

This evil murderer, violent and cruel, usually leaves some traces, why is there no trace at all this time?

Isn't it evil?

"Maybe they encountered some unknown existence..." Wu Yu said softly.

In this world, in addition to the evil, there are also many dangerous and unknown existences.

Just like the nightmare Qin Mo encountered, there was no way to explain it.

Qin Mo whispered: "Go down and have a look."

There is another layer below the cabin, which is used as a cargo hold, and a lot of cargo is stacked there.

Qin Mo opened a box of goods and found that it was all filled with tea.

"It seems that it is really a merchant ship..." Wu Yu shook his head.

The two wandered around the ship for a while, and after confirming that there were no clues, they left directly.

They themselves were curious, and since they couldn't find any clues, they didn't bother with it.

The next day.

The merchant ship Qin Mo boarded continued to set off and headed towards Baijiang Fucheng.

Seven days later, the merchant ship finally arrived near the dock of Baijiang Fucheng.

However, due to the darkness, merchant ships were afraid of running aground and had to wait until dawn before entering the port.

In other words, Qin Mo and others will have to stay on the merchant ship for one more day.

The river breeze blows, and the water surface sparkles and ripples.

Everything was so peaceful and calm.

Qin Mo and Wu Yu were leaning on the side of the boat, both holding a wine jar in their hands.

"When you arrive in Baijiang Fucheng, where do you plan to go?"

Qin Mo looked at the calm river and asked softly.

When we arrived in Baijiang Fucheng, we had to go our separate ways.

"My school is near Baijiang Fucheng. I plan to go back first. I haven't been back for several years." Wu Yu took a sip of wine and showed a look of longing.

"That's good." Qin Mo nodded lightly.

"What about you, have you decided where to go?" Wu Yu asked.

"I don't know... I plan to stay in Baijiang Fucheng for a while and see what the situation is like." Qin Mo shook his head.

Compared to Wu Yu, he was a little confused about his future.

Baijiang Fucheng is a completely unfamiliar environment to him, and he needs to start everything over again.

Moreover, he was the number one master in Yunwu City, but when he came to Baijiang Fucheng, he might be nothing.

"You're a fierce dragon crossing the river. I'm afraid there won't be peace in Baijiang City in the future." Wu Yu chuckled.

"There is no peace in this world. I just want to live." Qin Mo also took a sip of wine.

"Yes...but Baijiang Fucheng is not a remote place like Yunwu City. Here, the power of the Great Yan Dynasty is stable, and there are many forces in the dark that are breaking the order of the Great Yan Dynasty."

"The situation you encountered is probably much more complicated than that in Cloud Mist City."

Wu Yu reminded me.

Qin Mo smiled and raised the wine jar in his hand: "Take care of yourself too."

"Take care of yourself."

This is when a little red light suddenly lit up on the dark river surface.

The red light was so dense that it seemed to cover the water surface.

"What is this?" Qin Mo looked at the red dots in surprise.

He opened his yin and yang eyes, and the world was covered with dim light and shadow. When he looked at those red light spots, he found that they were lanterns with a red candle burning in the middle.

This candle seemed to be made of some special grease and burned with a red flame.

"I haven't seen it either..." Wu Yu said in a deep voice.

"This is the Styx lantern. It is said that it can flow to the underworld and represents the longing for the dead."

A scholar who was standing on the deck and looking at the scenery seemed to have heard the conversation between Qin Mo and Wu Yu. He came over, looked at the red dots on the river, and said softly.

"I've been in Baijiang Prefecture for so long, why have I never heard of this habit?" Wu Yu was a little surprised.

"Has this little Taoist priest not been back to Baijiang Prefecture for several years?" the middle-aged scholar asked with a smile.

"In total, it's been four or five years," Wu Yu said.

"This custom has only become popular in Baijiang Prefecture in recent years. It was caused by the rise of the Wangling Sect." The middle-aged scholar explained.

"Wangling Sect? What kind of sect is this?" Even Wu Yu had never heard of this sect.

"I haven't come into contact with the Wangling Sect. If you are interested, you can learn more about it." The middle-aged scribe shook his head.

He looked at the Styx lanterns covering the river, and sighed: "This Styx lantern is a human life... I'm afraid Baijiang Prefecture is not at peace either."

Qin Mo frowned. There were at least thousands of Styx lanterns on the water... Could it be that thousands of people died?

It seems that in these troubled times, there is really no place for peace.

Silent all night.

In the early morning, when the merchant ship docked, Qin Mo and others formally bid farewell to Wu Yu.

The little Taoist priest did not enter the city, but left the port directly and returned to his sect.

He hasn't been back for several years. He misses the sect deeply and can't wait to go back.

Qin Mo and others rented two carriages and headed straight to Baijiang Fucheng.

About half an hour later, Qin Mo and others saw the outline of a majestic city.

Although Baijiang Prefecture is still under the control of the government, no paperwork is required to enter the city. You only need to pay the entrance fee.

After paying one tael of silver.

Qin Mo and others successfully entered Baijiang City.

This Baijiang City is completely different from the dilapidated and chaotic Yunwu City. The streets are clean and spacious, and the various pavilions and towers are dazzling.

There was an endless flow of people on the street, most of them with rosy faces and clean clothes.

The beautiful girl, the elegant young man, the hard worker with a bandage on his head, the knight with a sword on his waist, the salesman selling gadgets...

All kinds of people make up the lively and prosperous scene of Baijiang City.

This kind of scene, even in Nancheng where the clouds are the most prosperous, is far inferior.
