"I must have killed you in your last life, and your body was broken into thousands of pieces with no bones left. If not, I really can't think of anything else I owe you..."
Dou Qianli was at the helm and chattering. Looking at Guan Zheng lying there, his eyes were full of resentment.
As partners who have walked the road to immortality together, the relationship between the two has always been very delicate.
I made a mistake on the mountain road that year, although it was because I was distracted. But the bottom line is that Guan Zheng was playing tricks, which stimulated and frightened him. Otherwise, Dou Qianli firmly believes that he will not be worse than Guan Zheng.
With this resentment, they left Penglai and began a journey of falling in love and killing each other.
Guan Zheng likes to challenge others, and Qingzhou warriors are annoying to everyone. Only Dou Qianli was different, he was the only one who took the initiative to challenge Guan Zheng.
Repeated battles and defeats, defeats and defeats, as long as it is not impossible to get off the ground, the interval between challenges will never exceed one month. Whether I can beat you or not is secondary, the important thing is to fuck you.
Guan Zheng was very annoyed, but there was nothing he could do. Dou Qianli is not as good as him in anything else, but he only has the skill of lightness. He can't beat you, and it's hard to kill him.
Later, Guan Zheng traveled to a foreign land to challenge, and returned home badly injured. Many people thought that Dou Qianli would be happy and might even add insult to injury.
Unexpectedly, Dou Qianli was more concerned about Guan Zheng than anyone else. Not only did he help fend off many people who took the opportunity to seek revenge, he even personally led him around to visit famous doctors. This time, with the last glimmer of hope, I sailed out to sea to find Penglai.
"You don't owe me anything..." Guan Zheng reluctantly opened his eyes. "Go back, there's no point in going to Penglai."
"Why is it useless?" Dou Qianli glared. "If those mediocre doctors can't cure it, why can't the immortals cure it either?"
"Penglai doesn't accept unlucky guests." Guan Zheng said weakly, "The fate between you and Penglai has been exhausted. Even if you arrive, you won't be able to get in."
"I know." Dou Qianli said: "Last year, the five tigers of the Li family forced their way to Penglai, and the entire ship was crushed in the heavy fog. Few people who wanted to force their way to Penglai had a good end."
"Then you still..."
"I can't let you die!" Dou Qianli said angrily, "Because you are such a bastard, I have lost my way to immortality. I don't know if I owed you in my previous life, but you definitely owe me in this life. I want to die before I pay it off. , have your spring and autumn dreams."
Guan Zheng opened his mouth, wanting to say something else. But before the sound came out, he coughed up a mouthful of blood. After it splashed onto the boat, it actually started to smoke.
"Just stop talking." Dou Qianli rolled his eyes. "If it really can't be cured, there's nothing I can do about it even if I die. But if you die because of talking to me, then I'll have to die of agony..."
At this moment, a burst of singing suddenly came from the sea.
"...In the midst of the tide, you can travel from north to south, east to west, without getting tired or worried... When you were on the stone road, you stopped behind the pavilion, digging for springs with pickaxes, and when the sun and fire stopped, you could let go of your worries..."
Dou Qianli looked around and saw a fishing boat not far ahead. A fisherman wearing a bamboo hat was fishing and singing fishing songs with a heavy accent.
"It's such a leisurely life for this fisherman to go fishing in such a far place." Dou Qianli seemed to have some feelings. "I worked for the imperial court when I was young, and then I wandered around in the world. I'm worse off than a fisherman walking around with you for most of my life."
Guan Zheng couldn't speak now, but his expression was clearly wrong.
"The stone road back then, two steps behind the pavilion..." Guan Zheng instantly remembered that time in Penglai.
"The Immortal once told me to stop at Fuxian Pavilion and dig a spring for him. If I had obeyed, how could I be in this situation today? But how could this fisherman know about such a thing?"
The fisherman continued to sing: "Suddenly I saw the wind of the sword, I lost my footing, and the world lasted for two generations..."
Guan Zheng was shocked again.
"When I was at Fuxian Pavilion, my soul suddenly changed, and I was so excited that I couldn't bear to draw the sword. As a result, Dou Qianli was frightened, and he lost his footing and fell down the mountain road. If he had also walked to Fuxian Pavilion, his life would be different from the one he has now... This lyrics refers to him. Ah. Could it be that this fisherman..."
The fisherman's song continues. "...I live in a small boat on a hilltop in the middle of the sea. With a long silken pole in my hand, there is no need to restrain or worry..."
Guan Zheng's pupils shrank and his chest heaved violently.
"The first people who landed on Penglai said that Penglai Island fell from the sky, just like a mountain falling into the sea. This fisherman claims that he lives in the sea and fell into the mountain. Doesn't he mean..."
Guan Zheng struggled hard to get up.
"Hey, what are you doing? Just lie down." Dou Qianli was startled.
"Song... fisherman's song..." Guan Zheng couldn't get up, so he could only remind him. It's just that it was already difficult for him to speak, and now that he was anxious, it was hard for him to speak fluently.
"What brother? Who is your brother... Oh, you are talking about fishing songs." Dou Qianli finally heard clearly.
"It's quite interesting, but I can't quite understand it. The accent is a bit thick. I guess this fisherman should be from Zhujiacun. Among the fishing villages on the seaside, Zhujiacun has the strongest accent..."
Guan Zheng was so anxious that he wanted to curse.
Zhujia Village, the pigs raised in Zhujia Village are smarter than you. The true immortal is right in front of you, why can't you hear it?
The two boats got closer and closer, and the fisherman stopped singing and looked at the two.
"Where are you two guests going?" the fisherman asked.
"Penglai." Dou Qianli said: "You are fishing on this sea, you have never heard of it, right?"
The fisherman did not answer directly. "You must ask for something when you go to Penglai. What do you want to ask for?"
Dou Qianli said: "Treat my friend's injury."
The fisherman said: "I also have experience in treating injuries. If you two don't dislike it, you can get on the boat."
Guan Zheng nodded desperately, while Dou Qianli was amused.
"I'm afraid you won't be able to heal my friend's injury." Dou Qianli clasped his fists, "Thank you for your kindness. You should continue fishing. We have to be on our way."
The fisherman looked strange and asked again. "Your friend is willing to cross the boat, aren't you?"
Dou Qianli turned around and saw that Guan was nodding. He was still babbling and winking at him desperately.
"You must be confused." Dou Qianli was angry. "I've already vomited blood and foam, and what are you still doing?"
The fisherman sighed: "You send your friend here, it's affectionate and righteous. If you don't want to cross the boat, I'll give you a herring."
Snap.
A herring swung over.
Dou Qianli stretched out his hand to grab it, feeling a little disgusted because it was sticky. But then I thought about it, this is what I want, it’s hard to really throw it away.
"Thank you, fisherman." Dou Qianli pinched the herring and turned to Guan Zheng: "You are in a good mood. I will give it to you later..."
Dou Qianli was stunned for a moment.
Guan Zheng disappeared without knowing when. Looking back again, I saw that I was on the fisherman's boat.
"Ma De, I knew there was something wrong with you." Dou Qianli threw the herring on the boat, pulled out his sword, and jumped over to the fishing boat.
Dou Qianli was confident that he could stop the opponent.
The distance between the two ships is only five or six feet, and ordinary people can jump across. Not to mention his Qing Gong, no matter how far he is, it's no problem.
"No matter which way you go, leave your people behind for me!"
Plop.
He fell directly into the water.
I wiped my face and saw that the fishing boat had gone far away.
"What's going on?" Dou Qianli didn't care to think about it, jumped out of the water and ran into the sea to chase after him.
The fishing boat seems unhappy, but the distance is getting farther and farther. After only a few steps, he completely disappeared into the sea mist.
"Asshole! Where are you hiding?"
Tan Mu looked around, but was shocked to find that his ship was right next to him. He was so busy just now that he didn't even leave three feet away.
After returning to the boat, I discovered that the herring was missing.
Instead, there was a green leaf.
Lying alone on the board of the boat, shining with emerald green light.
Very familiar.
Just like before, Penglai green leaves.
"This is..." After staring blankly for an unknown amount of time, Dou Qianli slapped himself hard in the mouth. I beat my chest and felt regretful.
"Blind, you pig!"
…
Warriors seek Penglai and seek medical treatment for their friends. Those who meet fishermen sing loudly and invite the two of them to cross the boat. Friends are enlightened, and warriors are invited to join. A warrior who doesn't know the music will make a fool of his friends. He fell into the sea while trying to save him, and when he raised his eyes and saw no fishermen or friends, he knew he had met an immortal. Regret said, "My eyes have no pearls, just like a porpoise."
