A battle without gunpowder ended in a few words and actions that everyone inadvertently made.
Gu Xiaotian said apologetically: "I have caused trouble for you all, and made you enemies of the Peng family."
Wen Moyin stretched out his hand to straighten Gu Xiaotian's collar and said: "Xiaotian, let's not talk about the Peng family for now. Just because Peng Wen is from Yihua Palace, you are our Taibai, and we also I will choose to stand on your side."
This was the first time that Gu Xiaotian saw Wen Moyun being so serious, and he was very moved.
I originally thought that Wen Moyin was a moody and magical woman who liked to tease her, but I didn't expect that she felt like a mirror in her heart.
Huang Shengjie also laughed, "Xiaotian, I gave up my upcoming love for you. If I return to Kyoto in the future, you have to find me a girl a hundred times more beautiful than these to introduce to me!"
Gu Xiaotian nodded heavily and smiled broadly.
Everyone continued on their way, and when it got dark, they walked to an inn. The road in Oju Haishan seemed to have been pre-arranged. First, there was an area for lunch, and then there was an area for overnight accommodation.
However, there was no incident at the inn this time. There were indeed disciples from other sects, but the two groups of people from Tiandaomen and Yihua Palace were not seen. They must have stayed in an inn further away.
After everyone tidied up, they went to bed to rest.
...
On the second day, when the sky was slightly bright, I got up and continued on my way, heading towards Oju Haishan.
When the official road reaches the end, turn right to enter the city, and on the left is a lake.
Presumably, this is the lake attached to Oju Haishan.
This also means that the first test is coming.
Everyone walked to the lake, but only two rafts were docked. Wen Moyin stepped forward and asked: "Senior, we are too white. Dare I ask senior, which of these two rafts should we get on?"
The boatman on the bed glanced around the crowd, turned to the people on the other raft and shouted: "Lao Gua, which of the seven of them do you want?"
The boatman named Lao Gua seemed to be awake. He held the oar with one hand and stood up with difficulty. He briefly glanced around, then pointed at the three of them, "You three, come on." mine."
The three accused are Huang Shengjie, A Lan, and Shang Ziqing.
Huang Shengjie and Alan jumped on the raft without any hesitation. On the contrary, Shang Ziqing stayed there worriedly and did not jump on the raft.
Lao Gua also kept urging, "Hurry up, kid. It's too late and Ouju Haishan won't have a place."
Shang Ziqing naturally had his worries. He actually had no interest in Ouju Haishan's so-called opportunity. He had no intention of coming to Ouju Haishan in the first place.
Xiao Chaoci also asked him if he was willing to go to Ouju Haishan. Shang Ziqing only asked Gu Xiaotian if he could go. After receiving Xiao Chaoci's affirmative answer, Shang Ziqing was willing to go to Ouju Haishan.
He came here because he already liked Gu Xiaotian, and secondly, he also knew what happened to Gu Xiaotian, so he came here to help Gu Xiaotian find opportunities.
If Gu Xiaotian wants to become stronger, then he will help Gu Xiaotian become stronger.
However, now that he was about to be separated from Gu Xiaotian in this first test, he was a little unwilling to do so. Although he knew that with Wen Moyang on another raft, he should be more worried about himself, but after all, he wanted to protect her. People feel more at ease under their noses.
Lao Gua was also worried there, "Lao Tao, why don't you forget about this kid? I will take these two people away."
Another boatman named Lao Tao shook his head, "No, these five people boarded my boat. If the owner of the family finds out, what will happen if I am expelled from the Murong family and go to the streets to beg for food?"
Later, Lao Tao looked at Wen Moyin with a smile. He knew that Wen Moyin was leading the team, "Girl, please advise this little brother, if all five of you get on my raft, , I can’t handle it.”
"Besides, if we delay, we won't be able to get a seat if it's too late."
On the river, Lao Gua was waiting for Shang Ziqing to board the boat, while Lao Tao had a smile on his face.
In fact, with the realm of these two people, let alone Shang Ziqing, it is naturally very simple to resist the higher realm Wen Moyin and board the ship.
It's just that they are paid to do things, not to mention that the master's instructions to get on the boat are all voluntary. If you really don't want to get on the boat, forget it. You must not force people to get on the boat in order to complete the task quickly. They just don't want to get on the boat. The person must say personally that he cannot board the ship, which will be regarded as a waiver.
Wen Moyin looked at Gu Xiaotian for help. She had no ability to persuade Shang Ziqing. Along the way, everyone knew that Shang Ziqing and Wen Moyin were not able to deal with each other.
Gu Xiaotian understood Wen Moyin's look and walked towards Shang Ziqing, "Shang Ziqing, just get on this old gentleman's boat. Don't worry about me."
Shang Ziqing shook his head, "I feel more at ease when you are under my nose."
At this time, Gu Xiaotian's head was full of questions. He was not a young boy, so why did he feel at ease under Shang Ziqing's nose?
Gu Xiaotian originally simply thought that Shang Ziqing liked him, but he didn't expect that he already liked him like this.
For the sake of the overall situation, Gu Xiaotian had no choice but to put aside these strange thoughts and whispered softly: "You really don't have to worry about me. If I don't appear in Oju Haishan by then, I will return to Taibai and let you handle it. Any request you have I agree to everything."
Shang Ziqing's eyes lit up, "Is this true?"
"really!"
In order to ensure that he could get on the ship quickly and not waste time, Gu Xiaotian did not hesitate to sell his appearance. This was the simplest and most effective way he could think of.
Sure enough, after hearing Gu Xiaotian's promise, Shang Ziqing happily boarded Lao Gua's boat.
Lao Gua picked up the oar and shouted loudly: "Sit tight, kiddos, I'm going to set sail now!"
This oar seemed ordinary, but in Lao Gua's hands it seemed to have magic power. Lao Gua made it powerful, and soon Lao Gua's raft disappeared into the mist.
When Lao Tao saw Lao Gua leaving, she waited for a few more minutes, but Bao Lao Gua had already gone far away, and then she started to greet everyone, "Come on, come on, come up quickly. After seeing you off, I'm still in a hurry to go back and drink!"
Everyone also stood on the raft, and Lao Tao said with a smile from behind: "Sit tight, little devils, I will set sail now!"
The two old men have the same lines about emotions!
But what surprised everyone more was that Lao Tao didn't use the oar. Instead, he jumped up high and kicked the tail of the raft. The raft instantly jumped out of the river like an arrow that had left its string.
Lao Tao took one step at a time behind him and walked across the river. He caught up with the raft and kicked its tail violently, then jumped back to the raft.
The raft was small, and the people standing there were a little crowded. After being kicked by Lao Tao, the raft began to sway left and right, almost losing its balance and falling into the river.
Lao Tao returned to the raft and laughed loudly: "You guys are not bad. You can stand firmly without falling. I am very happy."
The boat was moving slowly on the river, and Lao Tao was sitting on the stern of the boat, eating peaches taken out from a small space on the boat deck, and kept shouting that they were so sweet.
Everyone watched and swallowed their saliva, but they did not dare to ask Lao Tao for peaches.
Seeing that everyone was swallowing their saliva, Lao Tao immediately took out a bunch of peaches from the deck of the boat and said, "Eat it if you want. Why should I be so polite to Lao Tao? I dare not say anything else. I have enough peaches!"
After receiving Lao Tao's affirmation, Gu Xiaotian was the first to step forward, take a peach, and start chewing it. The taste was exactly as Lao Tao said.
So sweet!
A few people were eating peaches, but the raft was still moving forward slowly. Gu Xiaotian was a little worried when he thought that this was the first test.
Duan Peng was always the most vigilant person, so he quietly asked Wen Moqin: "Senior Sister Wen, didn't you say that getting on the ship is the first test?"
Wen Moyin shook his head helplessly, "It was not these two old gentlemen who picked us up last time we went to Oju Haishan, so I don't know what the test will be. I only know that there will be a test."
Wen Moyin did not lie, and there was no need for her to hide it.
Five years ago, Wen Moyin followed Leng Qingqiu to Oju Haishan and boarded another raft. When the raft reached the river, they saw the boatman suddenly fighting against Wen Moyin and others. Fortunately, they all worked together to suppress the boatman. , the boatman smiled happily, and quickly waved the wood pulp to bring them to Oju Haishan.
It's just that the old Tao in front of him was so kind-hearted that he didn't even mean to take action against them. He happily chatted with Gu Xiaotian who was sitting in the stern of the boat, bragging about his past glorious deeds.
Duan Peng looked at Lao Tao uneasily. He always felt that this test might not be as simple as five years ago.
Seeing that the raft was about to pass through the fog, Lao Tao remained unmoved and kept pulling Gu Xiaotian and said: "When you arrive at Oju Haishan, remember to come to me at the side door. I will give you a taste then." It’s delicious in the world!”
Gu Xiaotian nodded vigorously, he was already drooling.
Wu Kong was still a dull gourd, not caring about this at all, just staring at the talisman in his hand in a daze.
The raft passed through the fog, and the true face of Oju Haishan could be seen not far away.
From a distance, Oju Haishan looks like another world, magnificent and pleasant.
The sharp-eyed Duan Peng discovered Hua Dian. They were the only raft moving on the river. If Lao Gua was rowing fast, it would be impossible for him to row the entire river in just a few minutes.
Moreover, Lao Tao kept saying that he would go back to drink after picking up the people, which meant that each raft could only pick up one group of people.
However, no second raft was seen on the entire river, not even on the opposite shore. Only Lao Tao's raft was slowly moving forward on the river.
Where did Lao Gua's raft go?
Wen Moyin, who was standing next to Duan Peng, also noticed that the last time she came here, she saw several rafts parked by the river.
Immediately, her eyes turned to Lao Tao, "Old sir, why is there not a raft on the river?"
Lao Tao stood up with a smile, "Little girl, you have good eyesight. Please don't blame me. After all, it is a task test arranged by the Murong family."
Before anyone could react, Lao Tao had already plunged into the lake.
Then there was a "gurgling" sound from the lake, and then the raft began to shake until finally the entire raft was about to flip over.
The old Tao in the water was like a water ghost. When the raft was about to turn over, he jumped out like a shadow and pulled the four people on the boat into the lake one by one.
Gu Xiaotian originally wanted to resist, but he couldn't react at all and let his body fall rapidly in the lake.
He quickly used his true energy and was able to breathe in the lake.
In this lake that could not be seen to the end, Gu Xiaotian glanced around and found that Wukong, Duan Peng, and Wen Moyin were all beside him.
Lao Tao, who was talking and laughing with him on the raft just now, has disappeared.
