Mystery of ocean.
The blue-green lake, as translucent as emerald, appeared in front of everyone's eyes. It was surrounded by trees, the branches fluttered in the wind, and ripples appeared on the lake. The legendary incarnation of the goddess' love for the world was just like the real thing.
Otherwise, how could there be such a beautiful oasis in a place like this?
There is a large goddess statue built on the lake. It can also be said that the goddess is standing on the lake. She puts one hand on her chest and the other reaches into the lake. Her expression is dignified and compassionate. It looks lifelike. I have to admire the craftsmanship of the craftsman.
In addition to the statue of the goddess, there is also a wishing pool. The wishing pool is built near the shore. There is a small platform in the middle of the pool. There is a goddess statue on the platform that is smaller than the big goddess statue in the lake. Pedestrians can only stand on the shore and throw copper coins into it.
It is said that if you can throw it onto the platform where the little goddess statue is, your wishes will come true. However, there is an unwritten rule that you cannot use your internal power, which means you can only rely on yourself, so not all knights can throw it accurately. Even ordinary people may not be able to throw it in.
The water in the wishing pool flows into the large lake. The gurgling water in this pool is the true flow of love and hope.
There were many people standing around the lake and it was very lively. Men and women were throwing copper coins into the pool, but the distance was still a bit far. If you were lucky enough to hit it, there would be a burst of cheers. If you were unlucky enough to miss it, you would throw it back again. The person was not happy and quickly asked that person to queue up again.
It’s better if you miss, what if everyone throws until they hit? The goddess wouldn’t be too busy?
Cheng Suisui had only seen the Tianchi in Cangshan Mountain. When he saw La Mer, he exclaimed happily: "Wow! This is La Mer! This is so beautiful!"
"It is indeed beautiful."
The lake is crystal clear, and it’s good that it hasn’t been polluted by over-development.
Ruan Xianbei also lamented the magic of nature. If in her time, the shore would have been crowded with all kinds of beauties taking pictures. It's a pity that I couldn't capture this beautiful scenery without a camera.
Lan Zhao said: "There are still people painting over there."
Yes, there is still a painter without a camera! But that person looked more like a kid from a rich family, not someone who relied on this for a living.
Cheng Suisui couldn't wait to grab a handful of copper coins: "Let's go, let's make a wish!"
"A handful of copper coins?"
Everyone couldn't help but laugh, and Fu Cheng asked curiously: "Sister Suisui, do you have many wishes?"
"Hmm... let me think about it - having money and leisure to eat, drink and have fun is a wish, right?"
Ruan Xianbei laughed: "It would be faster if you just beg Shen Xuan to tell you not to practice."
Everyone burst into laughter after hearing this.
She was satisfied with money, but as a disciple of Cangshan, it was impossible to have leisure. Shen Xuan would not let them have leisure.
As for eating, drinking and having fun, isn’t it time to have fun when you are free?
Cheng Suisui said with a bitter look on his face: "Then please ask the goddess to bless senior brother to get married as soon as possible and leave us alone."
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Ruan Xianbei and Shen Xuan each, and the atmosphere became a little strange.
Fu Cheng was still young and was still observing the atmosphere with confusion. As a result, the two parties involved didn't even blush. Shen Xuan said: "Come on, Junior Sister Cheng."
Cheng Suisui was confused: What does this mean?
Fu Cheng suddenly said: "Sister Sui Sui, Senior Brother Shen asked you to be more sincere."
Cheng Suisui clenched his fist: "My surname is Cheng, and I am sincere!"
The young people chatted and laughed as they walked towards the wishing fountain, lining up and taking turns to throw in coins. Shen Xuan didn't want to participate in this activity at first, thinking it was a bit childish, but she was pushed back by Ruan Xianbei.
Shen Xuan looked at his arm held by the girl and said helplessly: "Ah Ruan, I have no wish to make."
Ruan Xianbei said: "Isn't our matter allowed?"
"If someone else gets the opposite wish, who will the goddess help? Besides, it has nothing to do with whether the wish is granted or not."
If something can come true if you wish for it, there is no need to work hard.
To put it bluntly, it all depends on human effort, everything else is just icing on the cake.
Ruan Xianbei glared at him: "Of course the goddess is on the side of justice. Besides - she's here! If you don't have a wish, just give me one more...
"
No one can refuse the words "Everyone comes here", and Shen Xuan is no exception.
Shen Xuan asked her: "What wish can I make for you?"
Ruan Xianbei thought for a while and smiled in his ear: "I hope I can live a long life with you. _o_m "
Shen Xuan looked at the girl's smile, reached out and touched her head and said softly: "The King of Hell doesn't dare to accept you so early, you should stay with me."
Hey, is this a love story? Ruan Xianbei's eyes widened.
It was Cheng Suisui's turn soon. At this moment, she suddenly turned around and looked at the girl's shining hair in the sun behind her. She held her arm with the good-looking but ugly young man and whispered, and the young man's brows relaxed. , exuding the aura of keeping strangers away from the surrounding people.
"Look! If anyone sees this, they will definitely be scared!" Cheng Suisui pulled Lan Zhao and asked her to turn around and look together. He pointed at the lovers and started laughing. The senior brother was becoming more and more like a human being. Only Ruan Ruan can do it.
What should I do if I suddenly feel envious of Ruan Ruan? But Cheng Suisui shuddered when he thought of a man like Senior Brother. Senior Sister Fang was not equally outstanding in appearance, and she was so close to the top that she didn't get the chance first.
How can a big iceberg be melted by a mere mortal?
The girl couldn't help but think about what her future husband would be like?
Thinking about it, I don't seem to like any kind of man.
Lan Zhao withdrew his gaze, patted her and reminded: "Suisui, it's your turn."
Cheng Suisui walked to the wishing pool devoutly, clasping his hands and silently praying in his heart, hoping that the goddess will bless me with peace, wealth, leisure, food, drink and fun all my life!
She opened her eyes and flicked the copper coin out. The copper coin drew an arc in the air and successfully landed on the small platform, but it fell vertically.
"Ah! Don't fall!" Cheng Suisui exclaimed, staring at the copper coin and praying, he must succeed, he must succeed...
The copper coin swung around twice and finally landed on it.
"That's great!" Cheng Suisui jumped up happily, "It's your turn!"
I wonder if it was all luck that went to Cheng Suisui. Lan Zhao, Fu Cheng Miyou and Ruan Xianbei failed, leaving only Shen Xuan.
Shen Xuan stepped forward under their expectant eyes, and made a wish with his hands together. The time he made the wish was very short, it seemed like just a few seconds. With the movement of his hands, the copper coins clinked and fell steadily on the table. , and other copper coins shined in the sun.
The copper coins that were not lost sank into the water and shone brightly.
"Wow! That's great! I knew you could do it!" Shen Xuan was even happier when she hit Ruan Xianbei than she was when she hit him. She held his hand and her joy was beyond words.
"What wish did you make?" Ruan Xianbei asked.
"It won't work if you say it." Shen Xuan said.
Unexpectedly, Shen Xuan would keep it a secret. Ruan Xianbei curled his lips, didn't he say that he wouldn't lose it at the beginning? Why did you keep it a secret even if you lost it? Mysterious!
The waiter came up at the right time and said with a smile: "Congratulations, sir, and I wish you all your wishes will come true. It doesn't matter if you don't hit it, sir, please come this way."
Several people followed the waiter to another place. Also on the shore of this oasis, there was a long tank made of bamboo and stone. There was water in the tank, and there were many bamboo spoons placed in a row.
Cheng Suisui asked: "What is this?"
The waiter introduced them to them: "This is La Mer's water. Washing hands with this water can bring good luck~"
Just scoop a ladle of water with a bamboo spoon and wash your hands.
Ruan Xianbei understood, and she also knew what this was. People who thought of this really made the best use of everything, from wishing sand to good luck water, and carried out the power of faith to the end.
Cheng Suisui was the most convinced: "Quick, quick, quick! Those who missed the shot just now should wash their hands! It brings us good luck!"
Ruan Xianbei smiled and said: "The goddess has given us all the good luck, so won't her magic power be insufficient?"
The waiter in the shop was startled, as if he was asked this question for the first time, he quickly smiled and said: "No, no, the goddess loves all living beings. As long as everyone believes in it, they will become the goddess's power. The goddess's magic power is endless."
"So the more people believe in the power of the goddess, the greater the power?" Fu Cheng asked, then scooped up a ladle of water and muttered: "Then I believe it too, the goddess bless you.
I became the best swordsman in the world. "
Cheng Suisui laughed at him: "It turns out that the best swordsman in the world got it through good luck. You can also ask senior brother to give it to you."
Fu Cheng said disgustedly: "Sister Sui Sui, I'm not you, I don't care if you come here! I have to rely on my own efforts - it would be better if the goddess could look after me."
Everyone laughed. Fu Cheng looked awesome, but he was actually still a child.
After washing their hands with La Mer's water, a few people looked at the lake for a while. Suddenly there was a noise in front of them, and more and more people gathered.
Miyou went to inquire about it and came back and said, "Someone wanted to sacrifice himself, but he was stopped."
The waiter said a little irritably: "Here we go again - there have been quite a few of them this time. I don't know where they heard it from. They said that the goddess is lonely and needs someone to accompany her. The effect of sacrificing one's body to make a wish will be better. I'm really speechless. If you want to die, don't dirty La Mer, okay? How can a goddess be so compassionate and ask for sacrifice? It's blasphemous and blasphemous!"
After finishing speaking, the waiter shook his head, looking very disapproving of these people's actions.
Ruan Xianbei glanced at him in admiration. The waiter in the shop was quite transparent.
The waiter continued: "If you don't come during the day, come at night. The residents here will take turns patrolling the lake to prevent someone from committing suicide."
"Little brother, how come you know everything? You are so awesome."
Facing Cheng Suisui's compliments to the waiter, he didn't blush at all, and puffed up his chest proudly: "But, I am the waiter who can do anything." t.
"Would any of our guests want to take a look?"
Cheng Suisui waved his hand: "Don't look at it, don't look at it. Forget about this kind of thing. Last time I looked at it, I saved a woman and promised to marry my senior brother. I don't dare to look at it again."
"I'll go take a look."
Several other people were not very interested in this kind of thing. Only Lan Zhao wanted to take a look. Occupational diseases forced her to mind her own business.
"Fu Cheng, please go with Zhao Zhao. Let's find a place to rest for a while." Cheng Suisui originally wanted to accompany Lan Zhao, but he changed his mind when he saw that Fu Cheng had a higher cultivation level than her.
Fu Cheng naturally agreed and went to the shore with Lan Zhao.
Twenty taels of silver was a bit too small, but in modern times it was still around eight thousand to ten thousand yuan.
At present, an ordinary soldier in the Yu Dynasty can only earn one tael of silver per month at most, and a centurion can earn three taels of silver per month.
Maybe he will accept it.
In addition, Qin Hu is also planning to draw a big pie for Li Xiaokun. After all, Qin Hu used to have money.
Now it depends on whether he and Qin An can survive the night.
"Little Marquis, I may not be able to survive. I'm so hungry, my hands and feet are frozen with cold." Qin An said in a daze.
"Xiao Anzi, Xiao Anzi, hold on, hold on, you can't stay still, get up and run. Only in this way can you survive."
In fact, Qin Hu himself is in trouble. Although he was a special soldier in his previous life, this body is not what he used to be. All he has now is a perseverance.
"Wait!"
Qin Hu's eyes were like cold stars, and he suddenly shouted in a low voice. A reflection and a rustling sound that appeared just ten meters away from the camp aroused his alertness.
With the professional sense of smell of a special scout, he felt that it was the enemy.
But should we notify Li Xiaokun?
Qin Hu hesitated a little. What if he saw it wrong? You know, his current physical condition is completely different from before.
If a false alarm causes night terrors or camp roars, and someone gets a handle on it, they will be killed without mercy.
"Xiao Anzi, hand me the bow and arrow."
Qin Hu crawled under the carriage and whispered.
But Qin An's next words scared him so much that he almost jumped up.
"Bow and arrow, what are bow and arrow?"
What, there are no bows and arrows in this era?
Qin Hu looked around and found a wooden stick with a sharpened top placed under the wheel. It was two meters long. It was thick at the handle and became thinner as it went up.
The more I look at it, the more it looks like a weapon.
Wooden gun, this is the iconic building of the cannon fodder.
"Get closer, get closer..." After a few breaths, Qin Hu was sure that he was not.
Wrong.
The other party may be the enemy's scouts, called scouts in this era. They are trying to enter the camp and conduct reconnaissance.
Of course, if conditions permit, you can also poison, set fire to, or perform a beheading operation.
"one two three……"
He and Qin An lay motionless on the ground until then, he suddenly jumped up and threw the wooden spear as a javelin.
"puff!"
It was impossible for the scout to wear armor because he had difficulty moving, so the shot pierced his chest directly.
Following Qin Hu, he picked up the wooden gun belonging to Qin An, jumped out of the carriage, and chased in the opposite direction desperately.
For the reliability of intelligence, the scouts are required to monitor each other and are not allowed to act alone, so there are at least two. @
After a few moments, Qin Hu threw another black shadow to the ground.
Then he strangled his neck with a wooden gun. There was a crisp sound and the man's head hung down.
"Hoo ho, ho ho!" Qin Hu was sweating profusely and almost collapsed. He lay on the ground gasping for air. His body was really too weak.
Just to break the enemy's neck, before he could just use his hands, but just now he had to rely on the power of a wooden gun.
"Qin An, come here and search me for me."
Qin Hu is familiar with the rules of the battlefield. He must collect all the trophies from these two guys as quickly as possible.
"Two daggers, two horizontal knives, a level, seven or eight taels of broken silver, two grain bags, flags, kettles, two sets of cotton-padded clothes, two pot helmets, bacon..."
"Qin An, brother, hurry up, hurry up, eat something quickly, you are saved..."
Qin Hu tremblingly grabbed a handful of fried beans from the grain bag and stuffed it into Qin An's mouth, then filled him with water and put on the captured cotton-padded clothes.
.
Before daybreak, Qin Hu cut off the scout's head before the sentry on duty arrived, carried it into Shi Chang's camp, and reported what happened yesterday.
This was done to prevent others from taking credit, and he knew what kind of environment he was in now.
"Thirty taels of silver for one head, you are rich."
The chief's name was Gundam. He was a tall, muscular man with a beard.
At first, he didn't believe it until he saw the trophies captured by Qin Hu and the two corpses.
At this moment, his eyes were full of envy, jealousy and hatred.
"It's not me who gets rich, it's everyone who gets rich. This is the credit of the ten of us."
