There is a breeze on the river today, only a breeze.
It wasn't until a while later that a small boat appeared at the bend of the river and went down the river.
There is almost no need to row, the boat is on its own, and the boatman is leisurely. As he rows, he can't help but sing a few songs. The sound echoes in the mountains on both sides of the river, so peaceful and calm.
"Ouch……"
Just singing and singing, but couldn't help shouting.
The water on the river is heavy, and years of running a boat will inevitably lead to the root cause of the disease. This old man's legs often have convulsions. It's okay if he doesn't come, but if he does, it will interrupt any interest in people.
But suddenly there was a sound of horse hooves on the shore.
Faintly mixed with the howling of tigers and wolves.
"..."
The boatman's moans immediately stopped.
Although there are many mountains on both sides of the Yinjiang River, the forests are not dense. Usually there are chaotic calls of birds, and even the howls of wolves are rarely heard, let alone the roar that resounds through the mountains and forests. Although the boatman does not recognize it, he can hear it. I felt an inexplicable fear, like a ghost in the mountains.
Standing on the river, although he didn't panic, he immediately stretched his neck and looked up.
However, along the river road, in the straight cedar forest, there seemed to be a person riding a horse and running wildly. The figure shuttled through the dense forest, being constantly blocked and reappearing, so fast that only a blurry shadow could be seen.
In addition, there seemed to be some lower shadows, but I didn’t know what kind of monster they were.
Until the figure on horseback appeared at the ferry.
The boatman rubbed his eyes and looked over.
I saw a bay-red horse with a Taoist priest sitting on its back. The flying clothes and hair had just fallen off. Isn't it the immortal master I've met before?
The boatman was stunned when he saw the immortal master riding up to the ferry and walking down the stairs of the ferry, as if he was about to step out of the river. Thinking of the howl he just heard, the boatman had no time to think too much and shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Is the real person going to take a boat?"
The bay-red horse immediately stopped where it was.
The Taoist on horseback also turned to look at him.
The boatman quickly rowed over.
The Taoist sat still on the horse, looking at him calmly, his eyes flickering, thinking for a moment, but he did not refuse.
After a while, both the Taoist and the horse got on the boat.
The cat also jumped up from a distance.
Only the swallows are still flying in the sky.
The boatman hurriedly pushed the boat away from the shore, as if there were some terrible monsters on the shore. It was not until he reached the middle of the river that he breathed a sigh of relief. When he stretched his neck to look at the forest on the shore, he felt strange that the vaguely visible monsters just now were All the low shadows were gone, and no monsters or ghosts appeared at the ferry or the shore to peek at them.
At this time, the Taoist's voice came from the side:
"Now that I have met the boatman, please ask the boatman to take me back to Zijun Ferry. The boat price will be paid."
"okay!"
"Please boatman row faster."
"Is the real person in a hurry or something?" The boatman glanced at the shore again, then looked at the Taoist, narrowed his eyes and smiled, and said, "Fortunately, after we parted ways with the real person that day, the old man was always there during this time. I was wandering on the river to see if I could give the real person a ride again and soak up the immortal spirit, but I didn't expect that I actually met him."
"The boatman is interested."
"Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for the boat for a while." The boatman said while rowing desperately.
"The boatman is kind to me. I left in a hurry this time and put my luggage halfway. If we meet again next time, I will treat the boatman to a drink." Song You said, "But it's not fast enough."
"This is already a downstream. We can only go so fast. No matter how fast we go, there is no way. You must be patient."
"Gotta go faster."
The Taoist lowered his gaze and said.
The boatman was just about to reply, but suddenly realized that the words of this immortal master did not seem to be addressed to him. He wanted to ask a question again, but before he could say anything, he felt that the boat suddenly jumped out - it felt like There was something in the water that was pushing the boat suddenly, or there were waves hitting the boat from behind, causing the boatman to lean back.
By the time I regained my senses, the boat from home was already paddling through the waves and moving quickly on the water.
This ship has never run so fast in its life.
"oops……"
Fortunately, the boatman was old and had heard many things, so he was not too shocked, but he couldn't help but say:
"The real person really has magical abilities."
However, all I heard was that the Taoist was still staring down, and even paused with the bamboo stick in his hand, as if urging:
"It has to be faster."
The boat actually accelerated again.
"Oh!"
The boatman couldn't help but exclaimed.
At this time, the mountains, rivers and vegetation on both sides of the bank were receding rapidly, and the wind in front of them seemed to be tearing at the face. The boat seemed to be higher, and the height of the edge of the boat from the water made the boatman doubt whether it was wet. It doesn't feel like sailing in the water at all, but like flying on the water.
Even the swallows flying in the sky and following the boat have to flap their wings very fast to keep up.
After a while, we arrived at Zijun.
"Thank you boatman."
Song You took out a handful of money, handed it to the boatman, and immediately stepped ashore.
The bay red horse followed immediately.
Sanhua also jumped onto the shore.
The boatman held the money in his hand and still looked at the Taoist blankly: "Is the real person really not a god?"
"no."
Song You rode on the horse again, thought for a while, then turned back to the boatman and said: "The water on the river is cold and heavy. After the boatman has finished this trip, he should go ashore and go home to rest for a few days. If the river is calm these days, It is not too late for the boatman to continue running the boat. If there is any disturbance or storm in the past few days, please ask the boatman to wait until the weather calms down before boarding the boat."
"I dare to ask but..."
Before the boatman had time to ask, he saw the Taoist's bay horse suddenly exerting force.
The ferry crossing was made up of more than ten bluestone steps, which were quite high. The place to get on the boat was only at the bottom, but the horse jumped up and jumped up easily, then flew away without stopping.
The boatman looked almost dumbfounded.
The cat still rides on the tiger, accompanying the Taoist and the wind as it travels through the mountains and forests.
Swallows also flew up and down the clouds.
There are still hundreds of miles to go here.
I don’t know how many little demons who were watching the sentry suffered disaster.
In the afternoon alone, the Taoist saw Ye Mountain.
Long Weijun was still guarding the perimeter.
The bay-red horse stopped at the top of a hill. The Taoist looked calmly at the dry mountains in the distance. The cat stopped beside him and the swallow also fell down.
"I have to ask Empress Sanhua and Yan An to do me another favor." Song You said and looked down at Mao'er.
"What's the deal?"
"Sir, please speak."
"If there is a fight over there in the future, it will be dangerous. Even though the Longwei Army is stationed on the outside, it may be affected." Song You said and looked at Yanzi again, "So I would like to ask you two to stay outside. If there is no fighting over there, Just wait for me here. You must be careful, help each other, and pay attention to safety. If there is any movement over there, the Longwei Army is everywhere around Yeshan. In panic, you may not know how to leave. Please come to each other. Big Observation Tower Beacon Tower asked them to stay away quickly.”
After speaking, he looked at Sanhua Empress again and added:
"This is important."
"Yan An knows!"
"What about the Taoist priest?"
"Just take me there, Ma."
"OK!"
"Remember to protect yourself."
Song You smiled and warned without any movement, and the horse ran forward on its own.
A bay-red horse and a Taoist priest.
The vast mountains are full of miasma.
The beacon towers formed a circle.
…
At this moment, on the mountain of industry.
The woman still has an elegant figure and a beautiful face. The white dress has a little more red, which adds a bit of gorgeousness. It also looks like the simple clothes have the charm of hundreds of years ago. However, behind the hem of the skirt, eight fox tails seem to be spread out. A giant fan with hair dancing in the wind.
The woman walked gracefully towards the top of the mountain.
In front is a Taoist priest wearing old robes.
There were several figures around him, either far or near, surrounding the Imperial Master and looking at the woman, either with a fierce look on their face, or with a wary and greedy look on their face, or with an expressionless expression.
"I know that the National Master's Yin Yang Immortality Pill was first refined into one of the batches. That batch of medicine is so powerful that the mortal body of the National Master must not be able to easily swallow it. It should still be there now, right?"
The woman smiled slightly and said in a gentle voice.
After speaking, he flicked his wrist and took out a folding fan from nowhere. He flapped it gently in front of him, and his smile immediately became brighter:
"Where is it?"
"You have been hiding in Changjing for many years, just for today?"
"Otherwise, what else can we do? These days, if we demons do anything, we will not be punished by heaven, but will be killed by others, and where will the courage of the national master come from?" The woman said helplessly, "National master, don't worry, in the ten furnaces We only take this batch and leave immediately after getting it."
These words are very sincere, especially the second half.
"You think so."
The Imperial Master knew that the other party had the ability to kill him with just a wave of his hand, but he showed no fear at all.
"If the Imperial Master is willing to give it to Wan Jiang, I would be extremely grateful. It would not be in vain for our secret companionship for so many years."
"What a secret companion."
"It's more than just company." The woman smiled, "We admire Taoist Song from Fulongguan. He has doubted the Imperial Master for a long time, and we have wanted to tell him several times. But even so, we have done our best for our country. The master keeps the secret secretly, and the national master must also know that the fox demon is so infatuated, this is really embarrassing for us."
"What if you don't give it?"
"Why is the Imperial Preceptor doing this?" The woman paused and narrowed her eyes, "The Imperial Preceptor protects the country and the people, and also works hard to build ghost cities and prepare for the underworld. His contribution is far-reaching and should last forever, and people like the Imperial Preceptor have immortality. My heart is normal, if the Imperial Master can maintain his image in the eyes of the world, he will be regarded as a famous official through the ages, why should he take this road and lose his reputation?"
"It looks like you're going to rob me by force."
"We have been cautious all our lives and never dared to harm the world, but this is an illegal thing, so it is not a shame to steal it."
The woman fanned her folding fan and smiled.
"call!"
Suddenly there was the sound of howling wind, and then there was darkness above the head.
This dark color came really quickly, faster than the wind.
It's actually a huge claw!
The claws were covered with hard skin and wrinkles. One claw was as big as a house. It rose up from the mountain behind the woman and hit the ground in the blink of an eye.
"Boom!"
There was a loud noise and the mountaintop collapsed.
There was already a huge claw mark on the ground, gravel splashed out, and the ground cracked.
A huge head was shaking in the air behind him, rising continuously.
A giant deer climbed up from the bottom of the mountain.
"It's an old friend..."
The woman didn't know when she had appeared on the other side, looking at the giant deer with a smile.
The giant cat slowly climbed to the top of the mountain.
This giant catfish is probably bigger than the one Song You met in the Yinjiang River before. It has scars all over its body, and even one of its eyes is blind. There are a few claw marks on it, but despite its ferocious face, it is... People don't feel its pity at all, but it adds a touch of ferocity, like a giant beast from the battlefield of ancient gods, which has been fighting for thousands of years.
At the same time, the mountains in the distance were shaking.
On several mountains around Ye Mountain, there were giant ducks slowly climbing up, and then they looked coldly at this place.
"So many." The woman didn't panic at all, "It seems that you have surrendered your whole family to the Imperial Master and want to settle down in the underworld."
The national master looked calm and said to her: "Can fellow Taoist fellow Taoist man fight against several big monsters of the Tai clan on his own?"
"Of course you can't beat them." The woman said very frankly. The Taizu tribe and the Fox tribe were both inherited from ancient times. These great monsters are not low in moral standards. What's more, the Tailu dragons themselves are more ferocious and powerful than the foxes. If one of them fell to her, She wasn't very scared, but if they came together, it would be too much for her.
"Fortunately, we are also prepared."
I saw her calmly extending her hand.
There is a wooden box in hand.
Opening the box, there was a fox tail inside.
The severed tail was still fresh, and there was still blood at the base, as if it had just been plucked from a fox.
"The fox ancestor's tail was cut off before he was alive, which can help us reach the realm of the Nine Tails in a short time." The woman looked at the imperial master, and then at the giant foxes lying on the mountain. She smiled seriously and sincerely, "The fox ancestor's tail is precious. It will cost us a hundred years of life. If you really force us to use it today, the grudge between our two clans will be completely settled."
The giant turtle didn't say anything, but was full of fighting spirit.
At the same time, two more figures appeared in the distance.
The two figures did not show their original shapes, they just stood in the distance as men and stared at this direction, but the woman still felt a familiar aura.
"The White Rhinoceros clan is also here..."
"Leave now." A voice suddenly came from the distance, but it was persuasion, "Even if the ancient power came in person, he would probably die here today."
"Hee hee!" The woman covered her mouth with a fan, but did not answer directly, but snickered, "Several of them are Wan Jiang's seniors, but they cannot win steadily due to their cultivation, and they still have to besiege them. It's really embarrassing... "
"Are you determined to fight? Is it worth it?"
Before the woman could answer, she heard a loud noise.
"Boom!"
The largest giant catfish took the lead in charging towards the woman. Just crawling was like a landslide, and the earth shook.
Almost at the same time, the giant ducks on the surrounding mountains also crept over here.
"Canopy!"
Only a slight explosion was heard.
A large cloud of mist suddenly exploded on the mountain. Among the clouds and mist, the woman had long since disappeared. Only a huge and graceful fox was left standing on the ground, with eight tails behind it waving in the wind. It held a severed tail in its mouth. There were emanations from its mouth, eyes and body. A colorful divine light emitted, staring coldly ahead.
However, at this moment, the fox stopped moving.
Suddenly he turned his head and looked down the mountain.
The giant turtles seemed to be aware of it and stopped immediately.
The great demon of the White Rhino clan, who had not yet revealed his true form in the distance, also stopped moving.
At the same time, he turned his head and looked——
There is a Taoist priest on the mountainside, his robes have been washed and turned white, and he is walking slowly up the mountain, leaning on a jade bamboo staff.
Compared with the giant deer, the figure is so small.
The pace is slow and steady.
