, the heavy fog on Daze Lake purifies the mountains and villages far and near into a dreamlike world.
An old fisherman was swaying gently at the stern of the boat, making a gentle sound of water.
Chi Chao stood on the bow of the boat with his hands behind his back, his eyes as if drunk and awake melting into the thick fog.
Here, he thought of Rou Ruo. It was here that he found the old pharmacist, thinking that he could cure the rot in his body and go back to be with Rou Ruo from then on.
Unfortunately, it was all in vain again.
Since Rouruo's death, the only things in this world that can move his heart are the morning glow, evening mist, sunset and night moon. They can elevate Chi Chaos' ordinary heart to the realm of swimming with the world.
The fog was getting thicker and thicker, and the paddles beat rhythmically into the water, causing swirling vortices to spin away quickly and then gradually disappear.
Chi Chaan pointed to a piece of green bank in the distance to the northwest that had melted with the water mist and was barely visible. "Old man! What is that place?"
A trace of fear flashed across the old fisherman's face and he said: "That's the famous [River Valley]. It has only a narrow entrance, but it's very vast inside, full of shoals and floating islands... the scenery is amazing."
Chi Chuan wondered: "Since there is such a good place, why not go in and have a look."
The old fisherman sighed and said: "Guest, you don't know anything. Ten days ago, Qianqiu State issued a closure order, prohibiting any ship from entering [Hechi Water Valley]. Violators will be killed without mercy, so Lian Yi has been going there to catch fish." Even the fishermen dare not go in, alas!"
A thick fog blew in, turning the river ponds and valleys into a confused white.
Chi Chao's eyes flashed with purple light, and the Demonic Eye of Death opened. He saw through the Shuigu Town in the thick fog at a glance, and coldly snorted: "There are so many people!"
Through his magic eyes, Chi Chao saw dozens of high-level practitioners squatting on the outer shoal inside.
The old fisherman suddenly said: "The guest has an extraordinary temperament and must be a martial artist. You should know that [Qianqiu State] is never easy to mess with."
Chi Chaan asked: "Old man, what is the origin of this [Qianqiu Bang]? Isn't there only two gangs in Daze, [Qiulang Gang] and [Qingwei Gang]?"
The old fisherman laughed and said: "This happened three years ago. The [Qiulang Gang] has swallowed up the [Qingwei Gang] and has become the only big gang in Lancang. The guest is also a martial artist. Do you want to join this [Qianqiu State]?"
"I'm not interested in this. Is there a place selling alcohol nearby?" Chi Chaan replied.
Although Chi Chao had been with the [Qingwei Gang] for a while, it didn't matter much. The [Qingwei Gang] didn't need his help in their revenge.
The old fisherman laughed and said, "I don't care about the bastard things in the world. I got drunk and solved all my worries. I didn't expect that the guest was a member of the same religion. I have a big pot of homemade rice wine hidden in my boat. Would you like to try it?"
Chi Chaan smiled and said, "I have already smelled the smell of alcohol on the ship, and I am still wondering why my husband is so stingy and does not treat his friends with wine since he is a frequent visitor to Zuixiang."
The old fisherman smiled so much that the wrinkles on his face wrinkled up, and he even hid his eyes. He reached under the bamboo mat at the stern of the boat and took out a large wine pot. It was heavy, weighing at least ten kilograms, and opened the lid. , he took two sips before handing it to Chi Chaan.
Chi Chuan took it with one hand and drank three large sips without hesitation. The aroma of rice wine mixed with the aroma of medicine filled the boat.
The taste of rice wine was stronger than that of medicine. Chi Chuan sighed: "Good wine!"
The old fisherman was very happy. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly realized that Chi Chaan was suddenly focused on a place.
The old fisherman was surprised and looked around.
The thick fog was like a high wall, sealing them in another strange space. They couldn't see anything or hear any special sounds.
Chi Chaan said: "A big ship is coming, and it's going very fast, oh! Not good!"
The old fisherman was stunned until he heard the "Huo Huo" sound, which was the sound of the whole sail shaking.
The old fisherman has been living on the lake and has rich experience in boating. The long oar immediately shook quickly and moved aside.
The boat slid smoothly for more than twenty feet, and suddenly a giant boat came out of the fog like a monster on the left. The hull of this boat was at least twice as tall as an ordinary boat, so the boat was heading towards
Looking up, it is as elusive as looking up at a high cliff.
The sixteen sails on the giant boat were fully spread out, and in an instant they were about thirty feet away from the right side of the small boat. They were about to collide with each other, but by the time the old fisherman tried to shake the boat away, it was already too late.
Before the boat arrived, the waves came.
The boat is like a small leaf in the storm, tossed by the wave front.
Chi Chaan snorted coldly. When the boat reached the highest point, he stepped on it with force and the boat slid aside along the waves. In an instant, it moved more than four feet away from the channel of the giant boat.
The giant boat ignored whether the small boat capsized and left.
While Chi Chaan focused on his lower body, he followed the turbulent current at the bottom of the boat lightly and tightly. On the other hand, he glanced at the body of the giant boat and saw the sign of swords and white skulls intersecting on the boat.
Just at this moment, a window in the cabin opened, the curtains were opened, and a pretty face appeared in the window, looking out at Chi Chaan with beautiful eyes.
The two people's eyes met each other. Seeing that Chi Chaos face was calm, the pair of beautiful eyes showed an indifferent expression at first, but then their beautiful eyes lit up and revealed a strange look.
Chi Chaan's expression was shocked. That woman was someone he knew - Zi Yao.
The giant boat turned again and again, returned to its original channel, and headed straight towards the river, pond and valley.
The old fisherman rocked the boat with his long oar, causing the bow to float against the waves, and shouted: "The master has eyes, the master has eyes!"
Chi Chaan looked at the giant boat going away, and the huge waves in his heart had not yet subsided.
Has it been discovered? That woman, even though she only met me a few times a long time ago, can now discover my true identity with just one look?
Or, [Qianqiu State] has received the news that I am not dead yet, and the Huang Country has their eyes and ears? Could it be that Lancang Daze is going to become the fourth country besides the Three Kingdoms?
Seeing that he was silent, the old fisherman thought that he was still in shock, so he comforted him: "Guest! It's okay."
Chi Chao sighed after hearing this and said, "Old man! You don't want to sell this boat. I'll give you a piece of blood crystal. Will you accept it?"
The old fisherman was stunned and said: "My boat is only worth three taels of silver at most. One blood crystal is enough for me to live for decades. Sir, have you thought about it clearly? Besides, this boat is old and broken, and it is useless for you to buy it." Bar!"
Chi Chuan smiled and said, "It's a deal! Even though the boat is old and broken, you and I are destined to treat me to a drink, and it's worth the price. As long as it can carry me to the river, pond, and valley, it has fulfilled its mission of existence." "
"The guest wants to enter this [Qianqiu Kingdom]! He is truly an extraordinary person."
[Ruyulou] is the most large-scale restaurant in a small town on the west bank of the Misty Water Valley. The river valley is rich in sea bass. The seabass served in the restaurant are so delicious that everyone who has tasted them praises them, so the town has also prospered.
Chi Chuanjue never expected that the river and the valley were so wide. He rowed the boat in the thick fog for two hours. Not only could he not find the giant boat, he didn't even encounter a person. He couldn't help laughing.
In desperation, Chi Chuan took out the flask and drank. A glass of wine poured down his throat, and the heat rolled into his abdomen. Chi Chaan sighed: "Good wine!"
After drinking this glass of wine, Chi Chaan gave up chasing the giant boat and returned to the starting dock [Ruyu Tower] to stay temporarily.
It was not yet dinner time, and only six or seven of the more than twenty tables were occupied. Chi Chaan just liked this kind of quietness.
As soon as I reached a table upstairs and ordered a pot of Huadiao wine and a few plates of side dishes, footsteps suddenly came up from the stairs, one heavy and one light.
The heavy footsteps hit the wooden ladder like soybeans. They are light and seem to be absent, but you can always hear them. They are light and heavy, forming a very strange rhythm.
The several customers and waiters upstairs all looked attentive and looked towards where they came from on the stairs.
Only Chi Chuan remained indifferent, drinking and eating at the same time.
The first person to come up was a young man as strong as an iron tower. Everyone saw that he was more than seven feet tall, with thick shoulders and a thick neck. They felt relieved. It was strange that this man who weighed more than a hundred kilograms did not have heavy steps.
"Ta-ta-ta!" Soft steps followed, and a delicate beauty in purple emerged from the top of the stairs. Everyone's eyes were focused on her pretty face, and they forgot that there was a tall man beside her.
The beauty finally walked upstairs. She was dressed in tight purple clothes and had a slim and convex figure, which was very attractive.
Da Mo looked a little coy, seeing everyone looking at him, as if he couldn't find a hole to crawl into. Instead, the woman in purple walked openly in front of him and swept her eyes on everyone's faces.
In Daze, no woman dared to openly look at a man who didn't know her true identity. However, this beauty's gaze was bolder than that of a prodigal. Everyone was defeated and made excuses to avoid looking at her.
The waiter saw that these two people were "acquaintances" and knew their purpose, so he didn't come out to socialize.
The woman in purple finally cast her gaze on Chi Chaan's back. The woman took two steps forward, looked at Chi Chuandao who was sitting with her back, and said coldly: "Where is the young master from?"
Chi Chao drank another glass and remained silent.
The woman's cold and hard voice said: "I had a chance encounter with the young master just now, and I know that you have extraordinary bearing. Are you going to enter [Daze]?"
Chi Chaan said without looking back: "So what if it is? So what if it's not?"
The woman's voice turned cold and said, "Don't pretend to me!"
He raised his hand, and a silver needle flew out from his delicate hand, passed over Chi Xuan's head, and landed heavily next to Chi Xuan's cup, half embedded in the solid tabletop. The other guests upstairs couldn't help but be speechless.
"If you don't tell the truth, I'll attract you, otherwise the next shot will be changed and it will kill you!"
Zi Yao warned for the last time.
"Forcing me to do something? Can you handle it?" Chi Chaan put down his wine glass and pinched the silver needle with his right hand.
The silver needle turned into silver water at a speed visible to the naked eye and fell to the ground.
There is no trace of soul power!
Zi Yao was shocked, this was no longer a power that a mortal could possess, but Chi Chao was not a practitioner!
The mystery about Chi Chao instantly attracted Zi Yao's interest.
"I didn't do it, it was him!"
Zi Yao waved his hand, and the tall man behind him instantly stood up and reached out to grab Chi Chaan's shoulders.
"snort!"
Chi Chaan snorted coldly, picked up the chopsticks on the side and threw them back.
