"Little sister, are you looking for the incense owner?"
The uncle who was punting the boat smiled and looked at the small golden ring while holding the pole. He held a tobacco pole inlaid with chalcedony in his left hand and puffed out the smoke.
"Then we are going to the Marriage Bridge. The Incense Master always stays at the Marriage Bridge. It just so happens that my boat is heading there. Are you all here? There are still five people left on my boat to set off."
Xiao Jinhuan turned his head and counted the number of people: "Me, sister Jiang Yu, brother Xiangyang, and this eldest brother, there are four of us, and there is still one missing."
"Okay, you get on the boat first, then I'll call a guest over, and then we'll set off."
The uncle waved his hand, turned aside to let Jiang Yu and others board the bamboo boat, and shouted angrily towards the dock: "Marriage Bridge! There is still one less person to go!"
How could he go to the incense master so easily?
Is it so casual here?
Jiang Yu was stunned for a moment, but before he could recover, he was pulled onto the boat by Xiao Jinhuan.
The hull of the boat shook slightly, and Xiao Jinhuan sat next to Jiang Yu and whispered into her ear.
"Sister, don't worry. My crabapple flowers can cover up your spiritual energy. I don't think anyone will recognize it."
Jiang Yu glanced at her in surprise, thoughtfully.
Although she had already taken measures, she did not expect that she would be able to take care of them.
It seems that little Jinhuan has many secrets.
Jiang Yu put the small basket in front of him and covered the eggs inside more tightly.
Xiang Yang and Li Hanguang stayed together. Neither of them wanted to talk. They just leaned on the chair and closed their eyes to relax.
"Sister, you have never been to Begonia Xiang Country. Do you think it is particularly magical?"
The little girl sat on the chair and her legs lifted off the ground. She swayed on her feet and looked at Jiang Yu's big eyes shining brightly.
"It's truly amazing."
Jiang Yu looked around. The bamboo boat was not very big, but it was deep enough. In addition to the four of them, there were five other people in the boat.
On the right, there is a very close man and woman, presumably a couple; behind the couple, sitting is a white-faced scholar, who looks quite young; and there is also an old man and a child who look like grandparents, sitting quietly on the left.
The pier is very lively. Although it is noisy, it is enough to smell like fireworks.
She turned her head and looked at the water under the boat. The river was slow and had a green light, as translucent as a gem.
In the water, there were three-petaled white flowers growing in clusters. Jiang Yu stretched out his hand to grab it, but found that these small white flowers were actually growing in the water with branches and leaves attached.
It's amazing.
"I thought that my master's sect was already a very mysterious place, but I didn't expect that there was such a magical abode as Begonia Xiangguo."
Jiang Yu took back his hand and sighed: "Nan'an is very nice here, a paradise."
"Sister, where is your master?"
Jiang Yu glanced sideways at Li Hanguang and saw that he didn't respond, so he answered her with a smile.
"My master's sect is in Xianyun Mountain."
"Xianyun Mountain?"
The young man dressed as a scholar on the boat suddenly said, "Is it Xianyun Mountain in Shu?"
Jiang Yu nodded: "Exactly."
The man looked at her in surprise: "I heard that Xianyun Mountain in Shu is a dangerous place. There is a mountain called Mt. Soul. If you go up the mountain easily, you may lose your life. How come you still grew up there?"
"Xianyun Mountain is not suitable for ordinary people to walk, but it is very beneficial to practice."
Jiang Yu smiled, but he didn't say everything.
Mingyun Mountain is also called Mingshan Xianyun. There is a legend in ancient times that after a hundred years, the souls of mortals will return to Mingshan Mountain. Mingshan Mountain, also called Mingyun Mountain, is a high mountain on the west side of Longyou County that is difficult for birds to cross. Located between the two realms of yin and yang, it forms a small cave of its own.
Ever since she came out of the Cave Heaven Barrier, she discovered that this place was similar to Xianyun Mountain.
They all have connection points with the mortal world, and they all have hidden entrances that ordinary people cannot find.
It makes sense.
The white-faced scholar listened to Jiang Yu's words and stopped talking. He just sat quietly behind and fanned.
The river rippled round and round, getting denser and denser, and water droplets fell from the sky and fell together.
It's raining.
Jiang Yu looked out of the boat. The rain stirred up a wave of smoke on the river. It was hazy like a veil covering it, making it difficult to see the distance.
The bow of the boat suddenly moved, and a person jumped on.
"Xiao Yan'er, fortunately you caught up."
The boatman smiled and patted the man on the shoulder, "I thought you wouldn't come today."
"Uncle Fang, how could it be?"
The girl answered him briskly and took off her hat, revealing a pair of furry ears.
Jiang Yu looked over curiously and saw her shaking off the rainwater on her body like a small animal and opening a pair of green eyes.
Half demon?
Jiang Yu was a little surprised.
It’s not that demon spirits are very interested in bloodline. How can a half-demon walk in this paradise of demon spirits with ease?
"I have to cross the Marriage Bridge every day and go to Chaoyun Court to offer incense to my mother, but I haven't missed a single day."
While the girl was talking, she walked towards the boat. She paused when she saw the unfamiliar faces of Jiang Yu and others, and there was a trace of vigilance in her eyes.
"There are so many people you don't know today. Uncle Fang, have you collected the money first?"
Jiang Yu and others looked at her, but the girl was not afraid. After scanning the others, she still looked at Uncle Fang with a frown.
Li Hanguang seemed to want to say something, but Xiang Yang held his shoulders and shook his head at him.
It is better to do less than to do more when you are away from home.
Besides, this is still the territory of the demon spirits.
Keep a low profile and don't cause conflict.
"Don't you know about our Biluo River? Except for boats made of spotted cloud bamboo like ours, everything else has to sink. Who dares to default?"
Uncle Fang, the boatman, didn't seem worried about this. He blew out a smoke ring, put the bags under his eyes on his waist, put on his bamboo hat, and shouted.
"Xiao Yan'er, please sit down, Uncle Fang will start the boat soon."
"Hello, guests, let's go to the Marriage Bridge."
Although there were some interludes, the other party said nothing more, and Jiang Yu and others also suppressed their silence.
Jiang Yu glanced at the half-demon girl, and then set his sights on the river.
Uncle Fang, the boatman, rowed the boat very steadily, and it was like walking on flat ground on the river, carrying a boatload of people slowly towards the depths.
In just two cups of tea, the surrounding scenery changed.
The houses on both sides gradually turned into tangled tree roots. Looking up, the huge tree crown almost completely blocked the sky, making it difficult to see the whole picture.
There are only countless flying birds hovering in it, and it has become a paradise for birds and beasts.
The drizzle continued, and the river was still shrouded in smoke.
Jiang Yu felt sleepy and closed his eyes, then squinted for a while, when he suddenly heard the sound of the flute in his ears.
"This Marriage Bridge is a place for marriage. It has always been a place that all the demon spirits in our Haitangxiang Kingdom yearn for. Why is the sound of the flute so sad?"
It was very quiet here, and the woman's quiet inquiry on the boat did not escape everyone's ears.
"Hey, this lady doesn't know something."
Boatman Uncle Fang smiled and said: "The Begonia Incense Country is a world of its own. If you have never been here, of course you don't know that the person playing the flute is our Incense Master. It was here that the current Incense Master and his senior brother got married. "
"Since Senior Brother Xiangzhu passed away, Xiangzhu has always stayed at Marriage Bridge. It has been rain or shine for so many years."
He remembered that Xiao Jinhuan and the others were going to look for the incense owner, and said to them: "Little sister, you are looking for the incense owner. Isn't this good? Listen to the sound of the flute, the incense owner is at the Marriage Bridge. You guys came just in time. .”
Further forward, the river gradually narrowed, huge tree roots were exposed, and the air became hot and humid.
The bamboo boat docked slowly on the river bank. On the way further into the forest, there were many demon spirits coming and going. They were not surprised by the docked boats.
Several people got off the boat, asked the boatman Uncle Fang for directions, and then said goodbye to everyone on the same journey.
The half-demon girl named Xiao Yan'er watched Jiang Yu and others leave the ship with cold eyes before walking away.
Jiang Yu looked back and saw the girl leaving in the opposite direction to them, and then felt relieved.
Although she didn't know why she was so suspicious of this group of people, as long as nothing happened, she would ignore them.
It is still important to send Yu Tao's demon seed back.
