Reaching a meander in the river, the small fishing boat turned suddenly and was pushed by the raging waves into a shoal full of reefs.
Dots of miserable green will-o'-the-wisps floated in the air, approaching the small fish boat from all directions, and the black rocks seemed to turn into a giant beast with a hundred pairs of green eyes.
The waves on the shoal became smaller, but the water speed became faster and faster.
The small fish boat was like an arrow off the string, skimming a white line of foam rolling along the water surface, and rushed straight into the phosphorus fire.
The phosphorus fire flew up one after another and flew towards the raft. The miserable blue will-o'-the-wisp light spots were densely packed and flooded Chi Chaos' vision in an instant.
"Boy, don't pay attention to these will-o'-the-wisps, they won't hurt anyone." The fisherman shouted while pushing the long pole.
The small fishing boat swerved to the right, bypassing the huge reef in front of it, then turned again and passed by a sharp-edged reef.
The will-o'-the-wisps rushed to Chi Chao's body, but did not burn Chi Chao's body.
Upon hearing the fisherman's reminder, Chi Chaan let go of his broken palm.
Chi Chao sniffed and found the faint damp smell of river water, the fragrant and fragrant fragrance of flowers, the cold and smoldering smell of burning fire, and the stench of decaying corpses...
The fishermen control the small fishing boat like a swift flying fish, weaving around the reefs, avoiding many hidden reefs that are difficult to detect with the naked eye, and masterfully maneuver the small fishing boat.
After passing the reef beach, the fisherman turned to look at Chi Chao, who was standing there blankly.
"Do you want to know what the will-o'-the-wisp was?" the fisherman said.
Chi Chao nodded.
"Those are the fragments of the fishermen's souls. For thousands of years, fishermen have been exploring the world's waterways. It is the most difficult place to explore clearly. If you are not careful, the boat will be destroyed and people will be killed. Countless ancestors died there. , use your life to pave the way, and benefit future generations like us." The fisherman looked at the back of the boat with a look of reverence.
After Chi Chao heard this, he bowed deeply.
The small fishing boat drifted into a water cave and entered the underground river.
Chi Chuan did not remember that there was such a road leading to Daze, Lancang. The fisherman saw Chi Chuan's doubts and said, "It's faster to take the small road, so that you can catch the opening of Daze Ghost Market once every ten years." . Maybe you can get some more opportunities there."
"Oh." Chi Chao nodded.
The small fishing boat shuttles through the flickering caves, surrounded by stalagmites and all kinds of strange things, such as taro, flowers, bamboo shoots, swords and halberds, and beasts... Sometimes the light shines in from the hole above, reflecting the appearance of evil spirits pouncing on food. Stalactites, and the eerie ghostly shadow extending behind them.
"Bang!" Water sprayed out, and a water bat shot towards Chi Chaan.
"Only---Only---" The water bat screamed, making people's hair crawl.
Chi Chaan waved his palm without any courtesy and chopped off the water bat onto the small fishing boat.
Chi Chaan picked up the water bat and wanted to eat it for dinner, but was knocked into the water by a fisherman.
"Do you want to die? This chrysanthemum-headed water bat contains a variety of highly toxic poisons. Even a practitioner will bleed from its orifices if he eats even a little bit of it!" the fisherman warned, without looking like he was joking.
"So terrifying? More poisonous than rotten poison? I don't believe it," Chi Chao, who had long been immune to all poisons, had a look of disdain on his face.
"The rot poison is only the weakest poison in this chrysanthemum-headed water bat. There are other poisons such as blood poison, soul poison, and poison. Each poison is hundreds of times stronger than the rot poison."
After hearing this, Chi Chaan quickly washed his hands in the river no less than ten times.
After a long time, the small fish boat suddenly turned and rushed out of the cave.
After that, the river suddenly narrowed, and the cliffs on both banks were about to fall. The cliffs were cut and crisscrossed in the sky, leaving only a thin line of sky.
The water flow screams like a mad horse, dragging the small fish boat forward as fast as lightning.
A strong wind blew in our face, making it difficult to open our eyes, and the fishermen's long beards were blown messily.
After a while, the river opened again like a folding fan, and the sky suddenly became clear. As the saying goes, the mountains end with the plains, and the river flows into the wilderness.
There are many canyons on both sides of the bank, stretching up to the sky. Hundreds of streams rush into the river from the mountains, converging into floods, stirring up steam, filling the air into fog, and thundering waves that make Chi Chaan's ears numb and almost inaudible. A little sound.
"Boom!" Chi Chaan suddenly felt the small fishing boat flying up, and the river in front of him suddenly disappeared.
Fall! Another waterfall! Chi Chao immediately thought of this word.
The small fish boat suddenly sank, and together with hundreds of streams of water around it, it fell vertically to form a majestic waterfall that looked like the Milky Way hanging for nine days!
"Stand still!" The fisherman shouted with all his strength, and the small fishing boat fell down with the snow-jade-like waterfall, like a falling meteor.
The water splashed down on his head and face, making Chi Chao soaked to the skin and suffocating his mouth and nose.
Chi Chao climbed up from the deck of the ship, all wet. Take a closer look, isn't this the waterfall pool of Butterfly Orchid Valley?
"After the Butterfly Orchid Valley and over another mountain, you will reach the center of Lancang Daze!" The fisherman stopped his fishing, unloaded his pole, and smiled and smiled at Chi Chuan, "I'll give it to you, old man." Here we are, my old bones have become loose during this journey. I have to go back to Daze to rest for a while."
"Why don't you just take me there?" Chi Chaan was puzzled.
"No strangers are allowed into the Daze Ghost Market. Find a way to get in by yourself. Hee hee." The fisherman put Chi Chaan on the shore and paddled away again.
Chi Chaan watched him go away and recited: "The shadow of the lonely sail is gone in the blue sky, and only the Yangtze River can be seen flowing in the sky."
After seeing off the fishermen, Chi Chaan followed the path to the bamboo house.
As the sun sets, Chi Chaan appears outside the bamboo house, looking like a wanderer who has not returned home for a long time.
Chi Chaan walked through the chickens and ducks in the yard and came to the bamboo house and knocked on the door.
"Squeak!" Yiren opened the door.
Wang Zhenzhen opened the bamboo door and looked at the visitor, speechless for a moment. The two looked at each other affectionately, and the silence at this time was worse than the sound.
Even though they spent only three months together in Butterfly Valley, they created an inseparable bond between the hearts of young people and girls.
"Come back?" Wang Zhenzhen said.
"Back." Chi Chaan replied.
The sunset, the lights under the bamboo, the two hugged each other tightly.
After a long time the two let go.
"Where's the old pharmacist?" Chi Chuan didn't see the old pharmacist at home.
"Master has gone to collect medicine and will be back soon." Wang Zhenzhen replied.
"Oh." Chi Chao nodded.
"Let's take a hot bath first, I'll heat up the hot water." Wang Zhenzhen said when he saw that Chi Chaan was dusty.
"What? Clean it and eat it for me?" Chi Chaan turned into the familiar look of a scoundrel Wang Zhenzhen again.
"Disgusting!" Wang Zhenzhen punched Chi Chaan in the chest several times.
"Cough cough cough!" This scene happened to be seen by the old pharmacist who returned to the valley. Although he didn't want to disturb them, he was greedy and coughed a few times.
Seeing the strange look in the old pharmacist's eyes, Wang Zhenzhen blushed for a moment, threw Chi Chaan away, and fled back to his room in a panic.
After Wang Zhenzhen left, the old pharmacist walked towards Chi Chuan and said, "You're fine, little friend Chi Chuan."
"I've met senior." Chi Chaan bowed.
The old pharmacist stretched out his hand to help Chi Chao, and while holding his wrist, he felt his pulse.
After this detection, the old pharmacist almost took off Chi Chaan's clothes and checked carefully: this kid's pulse was eight times slower than that of ordinary people and four times slower than that of a practitioner. If he didn't check his pulse carefully, he would have thought that Chi Chaan was dead. "
"Have you successfully taken the emperor's liquid?" the old pharmacist sighed.
"Of course, otherwise why would I be standing here." Chi Chaan said with a smile.
"You guys are really good at gambling, and your luck in gambling is incredible!" The old pharmacist couldn't help but sigh to himself, "In this case, come with me to Daze to participate in the opening of the ghost market in a few days, and I will borrow your luck and see if you can Encounter some strange lights, flowers and plants.”
"It's better to obey my orders than to be respectful, junior." Chi Chao replied happily.
In the evening, Chi Chuan, the old pharmacist, and Wang Zhenzhen ate wine and food while listening to Chi Chuan share what he had seen in the past two years.
Yantu defends the dangerous edge, falls into the gorge to kill the enemy, sunset rescues the general's daughter, becomes a general in one battle, breaks through the border for Song Beiyin in a battle, the loss of faith on the Yantu volcano, the tricks of the warden in the deserted country, the East Palace Chaos, disaster and fire...
All kinds of actions aroused Wang Zhenzhen and the old pharmacist's strong interest. They couldn't wait for Chi Chaan to explain every detail in detail, and they couldn't wait to be immersed in it.
Chi Chaan recounted his adventure after jumping into the Chishui River one by one. After hearing this, the old pharmacist really wanted to dissect Chi Chaan on the spot and carefully dig out the secrets in his terrifyingly modified body.
"I'm afraid you are the son of the Lord who has been left in the mortal world. You are blessed with such incredible luck." Wang Zhenzhen looked envious.
"Now do you feel a little regretful that you couldn't marry me?" Chi Chaan put his arms around Wang Zhenzhen's slender waist and suddenly pulled her to him, "There is still a chance now. Didn't you marry Gui Guo? Why? How about that? Will you sleep with me tonight?"
"Yo..." Chi Chaan cried out in pain. "pain."
"Young disciple!" Wang Zhenzhen grabbed the thin flesh of Chi Chaan's waist and said, "What a beautiful thought. I won't take advantage of you with my stunning beauty."
"Amazing beauty in the country? Do you think too highly of yourself? You are indeed beautiful, so don't think too much about it!" Chi Chaan was not willing to be outdone and teased Wang Zhenzhen.
"You said that to me, aren't you afraid that I will say bad things about you to sister Rouruo?" Wang Zhenzhen suddenly mentioned the name of the person Chi Chaan cared about most in the world.
"Ruruo? What a familiar name?" Chi Chaan scratched his head.
"You promised to marry her when she turns eighteen, have you forgotten?" Wang Zhenzhen said in surprise.
forget? How could I forget! Chi Chaan couldn't calm down for a while. Now that my life has returned, should I marry her or recognize her as my sister?
Chi Chuan took a swig and chose to escape. He didn't want to think about this problem.
It’s not that I don’t belong to this world. I will eventually return to the place where I belong. When the time comes, I will leave her alone in this world. Am I not a sinner?
Seeing that Chi Chuan kept pouring wine for him, Wang Zhenzhen knew that Chi Chuan had not yet wanted to tell him about his relationship with Rou Ruo.
Indeed, they only met for the first time during the auction, and they only got along for less than a month. They haven't seen each other for two years. Even if they finally meet again, they don't know how to make a decision.
Wang Zhenzhen felt in her heart that Chi Chaan was good and could be a good match for sister Rouruo, but this was only the opinion of outsiders.
Feelings are always a matter between two people and no one else can get involved.
Perhaps companionship in life and death is the foundation for true love. Unfortunately, there is no Rouruo who has been by Chi Chaan's side.
Wang Zhenzhen knew that Chi Chaan was not an ordinary person, and he had a will in his heart that he did not want to be bound by anything. He fought against fate and changed his fate against the will of nature, which is evidence of this.
A person who is unwilling to wait for death and is unwilling to be bound by fate may really not stop just because of a verbal agreement.
Cherish life and don’t eat bats.
