Jiang Mei asked Li Chuan: "Is this the dark river you saw in the abyss of your heart?"
Li Chuan compared them carefully in his mind. Before, in the abyss of my heart, I only had a quick glance, and I only remembered a little bit of yellow floating in the dark river water. And in the small river in front of you, the water is so clear that you can see the bottom with whitebait jumping.
There was no similarity at all, but he still felt that it was the same river.
He raised his head and found that the orange sky had disappeared, replaced by a clear blue, the light became brighter, and everything in his field of vision became clear and bright.
After he concentrated for a moment, he felt that the scene around him had changed again. Rich moisture filled the air, and his hair and clothes were stained with water and moist.
He looked toward the river again. He wanted to find something in the river, such as yellow floc or transparent silk.
He looked into the depths of the river, but he saw nothing except water, almost completely pure water. Even the silverbait was not a fish, it was just the appearance of highly condensed water vapor.
He looked for a long time until he saw the deepest part of the river. Finally, he saw the bottom of the river and saw some shadows that appeared and disappeared above. In the shadows, he saw the blurry woman sitting by the river, turned her head, and met his gaze.
Li Chuan's fingers tightly grasped the weeds and soil on the ground to prevent him from running away out of fear. He stared at the woman, waiting for her next move, but at this time a silver fish shuttled through the shadow, After a burst of light, all the shadows disappeared.
He turned around suddenly and saw the light from the Tianzhu flickering.
Then he came out of his mysterious state, and the blue sky as smooth as a mirror filled his eyes.
He didn't know when he was lying on the ground, with his ears against the ground, and he could clearly hear the sound of the river flowing.
He saw Wen Guying walking up to him, squatting down and saying, "Brother Li, are you okay?"
"It's good, it couldn't be better." Li Chuan tried his best to sit up and said, "It's the same river. In the shadow at the bottom of the river, I saw the woman beside the dark river, and the light of the Tianzhu, torn apart Shatter the shadow."
He said: "I can feel that all the clues have been presented to us, but we have not interpreted them yet."
Li Chuan stood up. Although the orange sky curtain had disappeared, he could feel that the surge had not stopped. The boundary between here and the Heart Abyss was already very blurry. If he sank a little deeper just now, he might have entered again. Heart deep.
Jiang Mei said: "The dark river you mentioned should be the shadow of the sweet spring water...not to mention why the sweet spring water did not dissipate after sinking into the abyss of the heart. According to what you said, the woman by the river cannot return here through the sweet spring water. She can at most see some light and shadow of this world through the river. How did the half-demon woman get to know her?"
Li Chuan said: "It would be great if we could catch the half-demon woman."
"You want to arrest her?" Jiang Mei asked.
"Absolutely," Li Chuan said calmly: "If you catch her and she refuses to speak, then search her soul, or use the Tianyuan Mirror to shine on her and torture her for ten or a hundred years. She will definitely speak."
Li Chuan became more and more excited as he spoke, "She might be watching us from the side now. We..."
"No." Jiang Mei stopped Li Chuan's delusion and said, "Now she is hiding and we are hiding. If you want to plot against her, you might fall into her trap instead."
Then he looked at Chang Xiao and said, "Can you tell us more about your life in Wochi? Maybe you can help us find some clues."
"Of course, I..."
Just when Chang Xiao was about to start talking, Wen Guying spoke up and said, "I remember you said that the fish in this river are very delicious. Why don't we catch some and eat while chatting?"
"Okay." Chang Xiao agreed.
None of the others refused.
Soon, Jiang Mei fished out more than ten small whitebait from the river.
Li Chuan was thinking about making grilled fish, but before doing so, he asked Chang Xiao, "How did you eat before?"
"Just eat it directly." Chang Xiao replied.
"Can you eat it without cooking it?" Li Chuan asked.
"After I left Wochi, I learned that we should eat cooked food and not eat it raw... This fish, I think it will also be delicious when grilled or boiled into fish soup..."
"It's delicious!" Before Chang Xiao could finish his words, he heard Gong Er say sharply.
Li Chuan turned his head and saw that the male was holding a fish with his two paws and pecking his head. The fish had been eaten until half of its bones were exposed.
While eating, Gong Er said, "Brother, it's really delicious. Try it quickly."
So Li Chuan walked over, found one from the basket and held it in his hand. It was cold and smooth. I brought it up to my nose and smelled it, and there was no fishy smell at all.
Although he already knew that the essence of this fish was sweet spring water, he still couldn't eat it raw.
Maybe cutting it into raw fish would be much better, but it would be a bit troublesome, and his knife skills are not good either. While thinking about it, he took out a chopping board and knife, knocked out the whitebait, processed it, and cut it into fillets.
He picked a piece and tasted it. The meat was very elastic and had a faint sweetness. After chewing it twice, it turned into water.
"How?" Wen Guying asked him.
Li Chuan said: "It's good, but it shouldn't be used to make grilled fish or fish soup."
It will turn into a pot of water.
Wen Guying also picked up a piece from the chopping board and after eating it said, "It's really extraordinary."
Jiang Mei said: "I have seen records in ancient books. When the Tianzhu of Wochi was not broken, someone caught a kind of fish by the sweet spring. After eating it, the whole body became very light and slowly floated towards the Tianzhu. Go. But halfway through the float, he suddenly remembered that his wife was still sick at home, so his body fell down. "
"When he got home, he gave the remaining fish to his wife, and after eating, she was able to get out of bed. The couple lived to be 300 years old."
"Really?" Gonger was very excited.
"Those are all things in ancient times," Jiang Mei said, looking at Tianzhu: "In ancient times, humans and gods lived together. Many people were extraordinary and did many things that seem unbelievable now. However, the flesh and blood of this little whitebait , also has a nourishing effect and is beneficial to spiritual practice.”
As Jiang Mei said, she also picked up a piece of fish fillet and ate it.
When Li Chuan was about to kill a few more fish, Wen Guying flicked his sleeves towards the fish basket, and then several rows of fish fillets were neatly arranged on the chopping board.
After that, Wen Guying took out another pot of wine and said, "Although this wine is not as good as sweet spring water, is it still suitable for this fish?"
Li Chuan felt a little pity. If he had known that the review was so useful, he should have been allowed to cut it thinner.
While eating meat and drinking, Jiang Mei asked Chang Xiao in detail about his life in Wochi, especially things related to Tianzhu, and asked him to take out the longevity lock and inspect it carefully.
