Thousands of acres of water are rippled,
Send off the boat thousands of miles away.
The setting sun is setting in the west, the crimson golden rays are falling, and the stream four to five feet wide is sparkling.
Upstream, a small boat was sailing down the river. The old man holding the pole was dressed in a raincoat, with a wine gourd hanging around his waist, and he was singing vague fishing songs.
"Boatman, can you give me a ride?"
A Confucian scholar in green shirt shouted loudly by the shore.
Under the nearby water, schools of fish scattered.
The old man holding the pole hesitated for a while, then nodded from a distance. Soon, under the old man's skillful control, the boat was placed in front of the scholar in blue.
"Young man, where are you going?"
When the scholar in green shirt got on the boat, Old Man Liu asked casually.
"Qingyang Town."
The scholar in green shirt responded calmly.
Old Man Liu's expression was stagnant, and he looked at him for a few times. He was obviously unhappy, but he did not do anything to drive him off the boat. He just unscrewed the stopper of the wine gourd and poured a sip of wine into his mouth.
The boat moved steadily, and the scenery on both sides of the bank receded rapidly.
"Qingyang Town..."
"That's a place that eats people."
Old man Liu said dullly.
The scholar in green shirt is none other than Gu Qing in disguise.
He had rested on the big rock on the shore for a day and a night. The injuries to his internal organs had improved a bit, and the spiritual power in his body had recovered to about 30%. When he opened his eyes, he happened to see the old man's boat in front of him. This was also fate. That's why.
"Where does this come from?" Hearing this, he glanced at the dark-faced old man Liu and asked with a chuckle.
"Hey!"
Old man Liu glanced at him and said nothing for a long time.
The boat parted the water, and green-scaled fish jumped out of the water. There were already several adjacent green peaks on both sides of the river. Summer had just passed, and early autumn only added a little bit of dryness. In the evening, it was actually a bit hotter than before.
The boat stopped in front of a dilapidated pier.
In the distance, under the misty night, there is a fishing village with smoke curling up from the cooking pots.
"Thirteen or four miles further over there, you'll find Qingyang Town." Old Man Liu pointed to the southeast side, "Young man, I think you look quite polite. I would like to remind you today."
"The word sex has a knife on its head!"
"It's better to go to that kind of place less often. I have a cousin who is in his prime. He only went to Qingyang Town to help for half a year. No, he is still lying at home. When the old man went to visit a few days ago, Alas, they are all so thin that they have no shape.”
Gu Qing raised his eyebrows: "Shipman, I'll tell you the truth, I haven't been to Qingyang Town for many years, and I'm actually visiting a friend."
As he said that, Gu Qing reached into his arms and took out a piece of broken silver, about one or two pieces, and handed it to Old Man Liu. Old Man Liu was slightly startled, with a happy face on his face, and stretched out his hand to catch it.
After working hard for a month, he could only get two taels of silver. This scholar in green shirt was really generous.
Old man Liu sighed silently.
He raised his eyes again, about to say something.
However, he saw that the scholar in green shirt seemed to be just taking a random step, then dropped a few steps and walked a few feet to the southeast. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the night, which made Old Liu feel slightly startled.
…
Qingyang Town is very lively at night.
Pedestrians were all lighting up, and there was a buzz of people and traffic all around. The vendors selling all kinds of food were a dizzying sight.
Gu Qing held a bunch of candied haws in his left hand, half a candy man in his mouth, and a bag of fried dumplings covered with sesame in his right hand. He was walking in the busy city, but he felt out of place and lonely.
He looked at the busy streets and sighed in his heart.
Things are different and people are different.
When he was young, he and his mother once visited Qingyang Town. At that time, Qingyang Town was just a small earth city, and it was not so lively. Now, more than a hundred years have passed, and Qingyang Town is... It also changed its appearance.
At this time, a large terrace on the left attracted Gu Qing's attention.
The area around the balcony was crowded with men, most of whom were in their prime. There were probably hundreds of people, and the area around the balcony was packed to the brim. From time to time, there was a burst of cheers. Gu Qing glanced at them and frowned.
He brought a trace of spiritual power to his eyes.
Suddenly, the scene in front of him changed drastically.
The closer the mortals got to the tower, the more they showed signs of being short-lived. Their faces turned black, and traces of anger turned into colorful smoke, gathering in the direction of the tower.
"The formation...is wrong."
Gu Qing moved his steps quietly and circled the balcony several times.
"That's an evil method! I don't know what the cultivation level of the evil cultivator who casts the evil method here is..." Gu Qing bit into the candy man and swallowed it, then took another bite of the candied haws and sat in a tea shed by the roadside.
After asking the waiter for a bowl of tea, Gu Qing ate the bag of sesame dumplings by himself.
"This sesame dumpling is crispy, but the taste is not as good as my mother's. Maybe it's because I haven't eaten it for many years, but it tastes quite delicious..."
Before he finished eating, Gu Qing raised his eyes and saw an acquaintance.
"Xiaolian!"
"Xiaolian!"
Old man Liu looked anxious, and he and a few people dressed as fishermen were looking for someone in the busy city.
Gu Qing thought for a while, then looked at the high platform a few times, stuffed the remaining sesame dumplings into his mouth randomly, drank the big bowl of tea, took a copper plate, held half a candied haws in his hand, and greeted Old Man Liu. Go up.
"Boatman."
"Young man, it's you!" Old Man Liu glanced at Gu Qing and ignored the greetings, his face full of anxiety, "My daughter Xiaolian went to the city to relax this morning, but she hasn't returned yet. Please help me keep an eye on her."
Then, Old Man Liu gave a rough description of Xiaolian's appearance. When Gu Qing nodded, he hurried to the high platform to look for her.
Gu Qing's eyes flickered and he followed silently.
After Old Man Liu and several villagers who came to help find the person squeezed into the crowd, their eyes were immediately attracted by the spring scenery on the high platform.
On the platform, there are twelve graceful women, dressed in various colors of gauze, swaying and dancing. Their fair skin is pink. These women have beautiful faces, and each of them has just the right amount of shyness.
"good!"
"Xiao Ruyi, I will sleep with you tonight!"
"Take a break for me, uncle..."
The big men who were watching looked extremely excited and kept cheering loudly.
The few people brought by Old Man Liu were also deeply attracted. For a moment, they forgot the purpose of coming to Qingyang Town. Excitement gradually appeared on their faces, but Old Man Liu looked like he was struggling and did not indulge in it.
Gu Qing mingled in the crowd and looked towards the stage with a dull look on his face, looking out of place.
"The method is rough. Is he an evil cultivator who wants to disperse people? His cultivation level is not at the middle stage of Qi refining, but judging from the Qi energy remaining in these girls, the guy who performed the technique should be above the second level of Qi refining."
He calmly glanced at the spring scene in front of him.
Soon, he looked at the place covered by red gauze on the balcony and squinted his eyes.
Human Desire is made from human desires. It is a material for refining special magic weapons. It can also be used to defile people's magic weapons and break formations. This thing is counted in two. One or two people want to scatter. In Fangshi , five pieces of low-grade spiritual stones can be sold.
To make one or two people want to be separated, it takes four to five mortals in their prime, singing and singing every night, and being in high spirits all day, for three to five months. After this period of time has passed, those mortals who were originally in their prime will spend the rest of their lives. Wasted.
The women on the high platform twisted their delicate bodies and danced to wonderful places, and the cheers from the audience were even louder.
The dryness of early autumn was mixed with hundreds of fiery desires, and the gathering colorful smoke almost condensed into a ball. At the place where the colorful smoke gathered, a beautiful woman with an almost unobstructed view of her body lifted up her red gauze and stepped onto the stage.
The woman had a charming face, opened her mouth, and spat out gently.
