The land route has been exhausted, and a long distance from now on will be by water. The Chentian River is laden with sediment and has rapid undercurrents. Tragedies like shipwrecks and fatalities often occur due to rocks striking rocks. Therefore, Guiliu spent a lot of money to rent a large ship.
After traveling for several days and nights, we finally arrived at Qutangxia Pass, which is recorded in history books as "Kuimen is the most powerful in the world". The cliffs on both sides of the bank are cut and cut, forcing the river to flow eastward. An ancient saying goes: "There are twelve noisy beaches in Qutang, and people say that the road has been difficult since ancient times." Therefore, the dangerous degree of the water in this beach can be seen.
Guiliu stood on the bow of the boat in the wind, dressed in a white robe, his clothes swaying, and the zhenqi flowing in his body, trying to stabilize the bumps under his feet. Although there is a danger of hitting the rocks in such a fast water, if you are not careful, you can still ride on the wind and travel for 1,200 miles without any speed.
"How do you think the hanging coffin on the 100-foot cliff was lifted up? Even a great master in martial arts couldn't do it, right? Could it be the handiwork of a god?"
Of course, the fox demon girl who became a prisoner would not pay attention to him.
Guiliu didn't feel disappointed, and still said to himself: "I have seen it in some miscellaneous books, saying that there was an exegesis expert in the Southern Dynasty, named Gu Yewang. This man was extremely proficient in yin and yang prophecies and landscape geography. He The cliff cave where the hanging coffins are placed is called the Palace of the Earthly Immortals, which is the burial place of the gods. But according to my mother, these hanging coffins should have nothing to do with the gods. It is said that this prophecy was prophesied hundreds of years ago in Tianjiang. The water level is more than a hundred feet higher, and there are clear distinctions between drought and flood. Whenever the water rises in the rainy season, healthy ghosts will lead the water up. Ordinary people definitely cannot afford this manpower and energy, so I speculate that the owners of these coffins are very rich. Maybe it was the princes and nobles, or maybe they were superstitious about the cloud being the burial place of immortals, and wanted to find immortals after death, so they decided to go to such a hanging place in the sky."
Guiliu suddenly turned his head and said with a smile: "People, if you live a good life while you are alive, you naturally hope to have a good life after death. If you live a bad life, you will be even more eager to make amends after death. .So, a good burial place is extremely important to everyone. What about you monsters? Have you ever thought about this problem and picked a favorite burial place for yourself?"
The girl seemed to have practiced the habit of keeping silent, just not speaking.
"What's the use of arguing with me over such trivial matters? Why don't you enjoy the great rivers and mountains now? When you get to the Shushan Demon Locking Tower in the future, you won't have such a leisurely and comfortable life now."
The girl's beautiful eyes were full of hatred, like a blood feud, and her voice was cold: "You'd better not let me find a chance to refine your soul into an oil lamp."
Guiliu narrowed his eyes and suddenly grabbed her chin, veins on his palms rising, showing no intention of killing.
But he smiled and whispered softly: "It's best not to make me regret it and force me to send you to Leichi Cave."
The girl cried in pain, and the Nanao suddenly lit up behind her, with a dazzling light for a moment. But being suppressed by the extremely high-ranking Fengshan Talisman, even if she tried her best to resist, it was only to this extent.
With a strong force, Guiliu threw her down on the board of the boat, and said condescendingly and indifferently: "Don't expect your master to save you. A master like him who knows the importance of the situation will definitely save her before the end of the road. He will not risk a narrow escape. As for Pujiazi, he should have been dead a long time ago, and now the liquidator still has a grudge against me for disrupting the situation. So if he dares to show up, he will definitely die."
The girl collapsed on the ground, her face ashen. Of course she knew that she could not be saved, but when these words came out of the man's mouth, they extinguished the last ray of light, which meant true silence and despair.
Guiliu glanced at the mighty river ahead. He had now passed the most dangerous area of Qutang Gorge Pass, and the river had slowed down significantly. He no longer needed to exert force to keep the boat stable.
Looking at the sky again, I guess it should be full of stars tonight, with the moonlight sifting through the snow. How can you not have a few drinks with such beautiful scenery?
So he looked at the girl who was still ashen-faced and ordered: "When the moon rises from Xia Pass, set out the desk and prepare the drinks and cakes."
Obviously, His Highness the Crown Prince, who was used to being served by others, now regarded her as a servant.
Of course the girl was quite resistant, but she was also afraid that this man with a gloomy and unstable personality would be violent again, so she didn't dare to disobey and could only reluctantly nod slightly.
Geiliu sat cross-legged in the middle of the boat, closing his eyes and concentrating.
This state of false sleep has the same wonderful origin as Buddhist zazen. Tiantai Sect teaches four kinds of samadhi, among which the regular sitting samadhi is zazen. Buddhism uses this method to understand the nature of mind, reach its original pure state, and practice Buddhism on this basis. Similarly, Taoists will recite the Qingxin Mantra before practicing Qigong, in order to get rid of distracting thoughts and enter a state of selflessness and selflessness.
Now that he has just re-entered the martial arts path, Geiryu is only a first-class martial artist. But in terms of Qi training, although he is only a Qi practitioner in the first realm, Gui Liu is sure that with Zhu Xian, who is of a higher rank than the world, as his destiny, it will not be difficult to fight enemies across two realms.
But the shortcomings are also obvious. The higher the quality of the natal object, the harder it is to improve the realm. For a creature like Zhu Xian who has long since ceased to belong to the human world, it would be as difficult as ascending to heaven to reach a higher realm.
As time went by, Gei Liu's heart became clearer and clearer, and he seemed to have reached a state of flow that was extremely suitable for practice.
At this point, you can enter the breathing and breathing process. The "Yuanshi Immeasurable Human Sutra" gifted by Master Lianhua is not only the orthodox mental method of Lotus Cave, but later on the fairy boat, Taoist Lotus Crown explained the mystery of this mental method in detail, that is, how to breathe in and out, Gather the true energy between heaven and earth to wash away the limbs and bones, and finally loosen the shackles of the realm.
It lasted an hour as soon as Gui Liu breathed out, and it was already night when he opened his eyes. When the moon rises at Qutang Gorge Pass, the river is sparkling, and the hundreds of feet of cliffs on both sides are dotted with stars, which is why the waves are shining and the shadows are rippling.
The girl was sitting on her knees, her beautiful eyes closed. Facing the snow-white moonlight, her fat skin glowed with a light blue jade light.
Guiliu looked at her with interest while drinking. Fox demons are rare to encounter, and even if you do, nine out of ten will be fox demons that eat their hearts. Fox demons who are willing to practice in silence are as rare as Shaochun in Jiannan.
Another glass of wine went down her throat, and Gui Liu smiled at her and said, "Now your whole body is exuding a pure light, and you really look like a beautiful fairy. No wonder people in the world use the term "vixen" to refer to those beauties. Indiscreet woman. Just imagine, if a woodcutter comes home at night and happens to catch you practicing Zhao Qinghui, the woodcutter mistakenly thinks you are a fairy, so he kowtows to you, but the next second you strip him and eat him."
The girl opened her eyes. She was indeed the fox demon who was best at seducing people's hearts. Even if she didn't do it intentionally, her natural charm was still revealed naturally. Her voice was extremely charming: "If His Highness the Crown Prince is willing to unlock the talisman, I will serve you willingly. Absolutely no second thoughts.”
Guiliu raised an eyebrow: "Nothing else? How can I prove that you will obey me willingly?"
Seeing that things were turning around, the man might have been tempted, the girl looked a little anxious and said: "I can make a contract with you, you are the master and I am the slave."
Guiliu smiled and said nothing, there was indeed such a contract sworn by heaven, and the party who did not abide by it would be punished by heaven. It is said that five hundred years ago, there was a high-level demon who contracted five great demons with the strength of eight-level monks. There were even rumors later that one of the five great demons had already reached the level of nine-level demons. The remaining four are already in the False Nine Realms.
It should be noted that the demon path itself is the ninth realm.
This kind of person is absolutely invincible in any dynasty. But by coincidence, he was born in the wrong era, during the unification of the Sui Dynasty.
The Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, a being who transcended the twelve realms, could be easily killed with one hand.
This is indeed the case, the evil spirit did indeed die at the hands of the Sui Emperor. It's just that those big demons have disappeared. Although they didn't say they were dead, they still have no whereabouts. So there is a high probability that he was eaten by the Empress of the Sui Dynasty.
Seeing the expectant look on the girl's face as she wanted to sign a contract to redeem herself, Geiliu, although it was impossible for her to agree, did not rush to throw cold water on her. Instead, she smiled and gave an ambiguous answer: "I am used to being served, and I am very picky. It's such a big building. There are only three palaces that can take good care of me. If you say you want to serve me, it depends on whether you have the ability and qualifications. I can give you a period of time. As for whether you can get the opportunity to conclude a contract, It depends on your own performance.”
The girl gave up her last trace of pride, lowered her eyebrows and said, "This slave will do her best to serve the master."
Guiliu shook the empty jar and said, "The first thing is to get some more jars of wine."
The girl quickly stood up and went to the back of the ship to get some wine.
At this moment, Gui Liu was already a little drunk, holding her chin up and looking into the distance.
The unique Qutang Gorge Pass in the world, no matter how thrilling it is, cannot withstand the gentle, watery moonlight. The same is true for people. For example, my father was gentle to my mother, who used to kill without blinking an eye, and Princess Nanzhao was gentle to Yao Tiao. But what about yourself?
Guiliu closed her eyes and hit the table with her fingers, suddenly remembering the action she made that day in the carriage when she wanted to drink.
I have also been gentle to a sister who is withdrawn and arrogant.
When the girl got the wine, she found that the man had disheveled hair and was looking at an exquisite hairpin in the moonlight.
Guiliu turned to look at her: "This is an amazing magic weapon, just like the silver bell on your ankle."
The girl couldn't help but said: "Do you know the origin of my silver bell?"
Guiliu tilted his head and admired the hairpin, but did not answer her.
He was looking at the moon again.
Why has the moon been filled with infinite nostalgia and sorrow by poets for thousands of years?
Because whether it is the beautiful woman looking at the wall or the stranger traveling far away, the only thing they can see together is the moon.
Looking at the moon means looking at each other, thinking about the moon means thinking about you.
now,
In the Dafeng Dynasty, men looked at the gorge and the moon.
During the Dajing Dynasty, a beautiful woman looked at the city for the first month.
