But this kind of mystery and weirdness not only does not scare people away, but is also highly sought after by people in the world. Many people flock here every day, either to see the true appearance of the Hongyue River, or to try their luck.
In addition, the Hongyue River stretches for thousands of miles and spans three places and five cities. It is also a very important water and land transportation route. Various merchant ships and cargo ships are constantly coming and going, so it is also very lively.
Of course, unlike other rivers, the excitement of the Hongyue River is always concentrated at night. Therefore, when it gets dark and night comes, everything else falls into darkness and silence, but the Red Moon River seems to have just woken up, with bright lights and bustling voices.
When Ye Qing arrived at Hongyue River Pier, he saw such a brightly lit and bustling scene.
On the wharf, goods piled up like mountains, people came and went, and the noise was constant; on the river, ships came and went like shuttles, and there were orchestral strings and bamboos, and dance music was exuberant and melodious.
There is a bright moon hanging high in the sky, and the moon falls into the water, reflecting the thousands of miles of river waves, dripping like blood, and the waves are like dreams, spectacular and mysterious.
The Mingyue Blood River was originally a strange and sinister scene, but against the backdrop of the crowds of people, boats, and bustle, it became a little less weird and mysterious, and more like worldly fireworks. However, not only was it not obtrusive, but it was natural and harmonious, as if this red The Moon River is how it should be.
There are thousands of mountains and rivers in the world, but the Tao is the most beautiful fireworks.
"Sir, do you want to swim on the river or cross the river?" As soon as Ye Qing stepped onto the pier, several boatmen soliciting guests came to greet him.
The Hongyue River relies on mountains to eat mountains and water to drink water. Because of its special nature, Hongyue River has an endless flow of people. There are young masters and daughters who are sightseeing and enjoying the scenery and having fun, as well as warriors looking for opportunities and seeking fortune. There are also people transporting goods and fishing. The salvaged merchant ship owners naturally gave birth to many needs and professions, such as pleasure boats for people to enjoy, coolie porters to help people carry goods, brokers and hawkers to buy and sell information about goods, boatmen to help people cross rivers, etc.
These people have been hanging around here all year round, interacting with all kinds of people. Although they may not have any martial arts skills, they have long been trained to have a sharp eye. When they see Ye Qing alone, he looks majestic and has an extraordinary demeanor, or he is here to enjoy the scenery or seek opportunities. , or he needs to cross the Hongyue River for something. He is obviously a master who is not short of money. If he can get this business, he will definitely make a lot of money.
Thousands of people
"Cross the river!" Ye Qing threw a silver coin to a strong middle-aged boatman: "It's up to you. This is your reward. Once you cross the river, there will be another reward."
"Thank you for the reward, Master." The boatman took the money and immediately said with excitement: "Master, please come this way." Seeing Ye Qing's generosity, the other boatmen suddenly became jealous, but the other boatman had already chosen the boatman, so they could only leave bitterly. go.
"Sir, please come this way, please slide carefully..." The middle-aged boatman led Ye Qing and soon came to a small black-topped boat.
It is said to be a small black-topped boat, but in fact it is several times larger than an ordinary black-topped boat. It is unknown what kind of material the hull is made of. The whole body is dark red with a faint metallic luster, giving it a Solid and sturdy feel.
"Sir, please come in..." After entering the cabin, although the decoration inside the cabin is not gorgeous and exquisite, it is quite comfortable. There is a small stove in the middle, with wine warming on it, and the aroma is overflowing.
"This is Shanpu wine brewed by me at home. Master, if you don't mind, you can try it!" said the boatman.
"Okay." Ye Qing was not polite. He brought up the Shanpu wine on the stove, poured himself a glass, and took a sip. The wine was not overpowering, sweet and honest, with the fragrance of cattail, especially the warm wine. It flows down the throat and into the stomach, and a warm feeling is felt all over the body. It instantly dispels the coldness of the night in Hongyue River, making people feel as if they are bathed in spring breeze and facing the warm sun, which is quite comfortable.
"The wine is good..." Ye Qing drank the wine in one gulp and praised.
"As long as you like it, young master." Seeing this, the boatman immediately beamed with joy: "There is also chestnut cake made by my mother-in-law in the basket next to it. It tastes even better with Shanpu wine. Guests may also want to try it."
"Thank you." Ye Qing nodded: "Let's go..."
"Okay, let's start the boat..." the boatman shouted, holding the boat slowly away from the dock and rowing towards the center of the river.
"What kind of wood is your ship made of? It's neither gold nor iron, but it's extremely strong. I've never seen it before." Ye Qing picked up a piece of chestnut cake from the plate beside him and asked as he ate it.
"This is the red moon tree." The boatman replied: "The red moon tree is a tree that grows at the bottom of the Hongyue River. The red moon tree has no branches or leaves. It is as thick as a stone pillar and is dark red all over. Although it belongs to the genus Wood, it is Stronger than gold and iron, but far lighter in weight, it is the best material for making ships."
"Most of the boats on the Red Moon River are made of red moon wood."
"Red Moon Wood, it's interesting..." Ye Qing's demonic thoughts moved slightly and spread in the Red Moon River. Although the water of the Red Moon River looks red to the naked eye, the water quality is actually clear and boundless. There are fish, shrimps, crabs, turtles, etc. in the river. Swimming around, there is a vibrant atmosphere.
Further down, Ye Qing saw trees that looked like stone pillars, were dark red in color, and had no branches or leaves. They should be the red moon trees mentioned by the boatman.
The red moon trees stand at the bottom of the river, straight and straight, densely packed, like a forest, which is spectacular.
However, going further down the red moon tree, there is chaos and darkness, and nothing can be seen clearly. It's not that Ye Qing's demonic thoughts have reached the limit, but because the bottom of the river is like that, that kind of chaos and darkness, even his demonic thoughts can't penetrate it.
Ye Qing originally had the intention to test it again, but at this moment, the boatman suddenly exclaimed.
"What is that?" Ye Qing restrained his evil thoughts and followed the boatman's gaze into the distance. At some point, a tall mountain appeared on the water in the distance, and on the top of the mountain, a temple with red bricks and green tiles stood.
The temple is hidden among the clouds and mist, looming and seemingly inconspicuous, but it also has a mysterious, mysterious and strange feeling.
"It's weird, something weird has appeared!" Someone shouted, and the already lively Hongyue River suddenly became even more lively, and all the ships moved towards the mountain.
Regarding the weird, both ordinary people and martial artists have always avoided it, but on the Red Moon River, it was just the opposite, everyone flocked to it.
Because the weirdness on the Red Moon River is both danger and opportunity.
"When..." At this moment, a bell sounded from the temple. The sound of the bell was misty and cold, as if it was not in this world, but it rang clearly in everyone's ears.
When the sound of the bell reached their ears, all the people who were originally anxious, greedy, and lustful suddenly lost their greed, anger, and desire, and their minds became peaceful.
The next moment, the clouds and mists above the mountains dispersed, revealing a narrow path leading from the foot of the mountain to the temple on the top of the mountain.
