The area under the control of the Daughter Kingdom is not particularly large, so the five masters and apprentices only took seven days to reach the Blackwater River.
Looking at the river rolling forward, Xue Tianqing frowned: Is this really the Blackwater River?
The river water in front of me is not only not black, but also extremely clear. Even the small fish in the water can be seen clearly.
Although the land in the Daughter Kingdom is fertile, as far as the eye can see, it is filled with reddish-brown sand and stones.
The Blackwater River is not wide, only ten miles at most, which is not enough to stop the invading enemies from the west.
But because the west bank is extremely barren and there are no homes within hundreds of miles, it has become a natural barrier for the Xiliang Girl Country.
Long Wutian told everyone that it was said that on the day of the Lich War, a peerless power fell on the west bank of the Blackwater River, and his blood was spread everywhere, thus creating the current Chidi Qianli.
Xue Tianqing scratched her head and said, "This is really the Black Water River. Isn't it too unworthy of its name?"
Wu Tian smiled: "If it's true, it's said that when Da Neng fell, if it weren't for the obstruction of this river, the Xiliang Women's Kingdom would be the same as the other side. Although the river blocked Da Neng's blood, it didn't block it. His resentment made the originally clear river water look like ink staining, but then the resentment gradually dissipated and the Blackwater River became what it is today."
Seeing Xue Tianqing laughing, Wu Tian said sternly: "Don't underestimate this river. Although it is not ranked among the great rivers in the world, it will last forever. Some people say that the river will still change on the first day of every year. Black, I don’t know if it’s true or false.”
Xue Tianqing smiled again: "Okay, let's not talk about these useless things. Let's cross the river first."
Wutian nodded when he heard this, and then plunged into the river.
Long Wutian was indeed a dragon. As soon as he entered the water, the fish, shrimps, river crabs nearby disappeared without a trace.
When they reached the other side, Xue Tianqing asked Sanzang to sit down and rest first, while he drove the clouds all the way to the west. After going almost four hundred miles, he saw a small village.
Along the way, not to mention water sources, there was not even a single green vegetation. Everything that came into view was red sand and gravel.
Returning to the Blackwater River, Xue Tianqing looked at Sanzang and smiled: "Master, I'm afraid you are going to suffer a lot in the next few days."
Seeing that Sanzang was puzzled, Xue Tianqing explained in detail what he saw along the way: "There is nothing in these four hundred miles, not to mention other people, not even a blade of grass."
"Wukong, it doesn't matter, as long as you turn into a vegetarian."
Xue Tianqing smiled bitterly: "Master, I'm afraid the three of them will have to accompany you for these more than four hundred miles."
Sanzang was stunned: "Why?"
"Master, I still have something to do, and it may affect the lives of millions of people. Do you think you should go or not?"
Sanzang said nothing more and immediately ordered Bajie to pack his luggage and cross this barren land as quickly as possible.
Before leaving, Tang Sanzang gave many instructions, telling him to act in a safe manner.
Xue Tianqing smiled and asked her master where the Buddhist saying "If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell" was gone, she got a slap in the face.
After being beaten, Xue Tianqing didn't make any fuss at all, and asked the three brothers to protect their master and get out of here as soon as possible.
Seeing Sanzang and the other two disappearing into the distance, Xue Tianqing took a deep breath and prepared to return to her daughter's country.
I didn't want to just turn around, only to find darkness in the distance.
When he reacted, he saw that the originally clear Heishui River was rapidly turning black from north to south. In the blink of an eye, the river in front of him turned pitch black.
Looking at the Heishui River that almost instantly turned into a Heishui River, Xue Tianqing frowned: This speed is too fast. Even if there is a problem with the water upstream, it cannot flow through the entire river so quickly. Blackwater River. No, there must be something wrong with this river.
Thinking of this, Xue Tianqing jumped into the air and went upstream along the Blackwater River.
The further north you go, the more dangerous the terrain on both sides of the Blackwater River becomes.
After walking against the current for almost five hundred miles, both sides of the Blackwater River were covered with towering mountains, and the red desolation on the west bank was no longer visible.
Not far away, the Blackwater River suddenly began to narrow, and soon it was less than two miles wide.
At this moment, Xue Tianqing heard a series of low roars in the air. He stood in the air and listened, and finally discovered that the roars came from the valley in front, where the Blackwater River also turned around and flowed to the south.
Xue Tianqing carefully drove the clouds to the corner, and then discovered that the Blackwater River was rushing out of the mountain.
Going further, the Blackwater River has become an underground river, and the roar comes from the cave where the river water gushes out.
Seeing that the river was still a few feet away from the top of the cave, Xue Tianqing hesitated for a moment, then finally hid his figure and plunged in.
Although it was very dark inside the cave, it did not affect the clear snowy weather at all.
I don't know if it was washed by the river during the flood season, but the surrounding area of the cave is extremely smooth, and there is not even a larger bulge.
And almost five miles in, the cave is almost straight without any bends.
Judging from the distance the sound came from, its owner should be not far ahead, but after looking for a long time on a clear snowy day, no living thing was found.
Just when he was doubting, a voice sounded here, making Xue Tianqing suddenly startled: the owner of the voice was at most twenty feet away from him, but where was it?
After looking carefully for a long time, Xue Tianqing finally realized something was wrong.
The river water beneath him had a slight drop not far ahead, and the water level upstream was low and the water level downstream was high!
And going up more than twenty feet, the gap repeats itself, but this time the water level is lower downstream and higher upstream.
The only explanation for this phenomenon is that there is something pressing on the water, but what is it? Is it hiding the same shape as myself?
Just when Xue Tianqing was about to take out the magic iron and look at the empty front, he suddenly smelled an unusually alluring aroma.
As the fragrance spread, Xue Tianqing felt that the creatures on the surrounding mountains began to become active, and then they rushed towards this place.
Not long after, countless creatures appeared at the outlet of the river, and then they jumped into the river one after another and swam desperately into it.
After a while, the river in the cave was crowded with all kinds of creatures. Although many of them were swept away by the river after just a few flutters, more of them were still heading towards the unknown existence. Travel everywhere.
At this time, the strange fragrance became stronger and stronger, and even Xue Tianqing couldn't help but take a few more puffs.
Seeing that the tiger at the front was about to swim to the place where the existence was, a deafening sound suddenly sounded, and then a huge whale-like creature about one mile long suddenly appeared in front of Xue Tianqing.
This thing stretched its entire body across the river, with its head and tail propped up on both sides of the river bank.
At this time, not only was it trembling all over, but even its two feet-long eyes were blood red.
Just when Xue Tianqing was puzzled, the creature suddenly roared again, and then a piece of filth erupted from the back of its abdomen.
As the filth spurted out, when the creatures screamed again, there seemed to be a hint of joy in it.
After the filth erupted, the strange fragrance reached an indescribable level, and the mountain spirits and wild monsters that swam in from outside the cave rushed into the filth desperately.
At this time, Xue Tianqing had already rushed out of the cave and was vomiting while holding on to a big tree.
After a long time, Xue Tianqing finally calmed down, and then turned his attention to the hole where the river flows out: Can a sperm whale grow so big?
Immediately, Xue Tianqing cursed some people in her hometown again in her heart: Didn't they say that ambergris smelled bad at first? How does this sperm whale explain that it needs to be processed before it can be turned into spices?
Standing under the tree in Xue Tianqing, the more she thought about it, the more angry she became. No, she must seek justice from this whale! Did he come all the way here just to watch it excrete?
Just as he was about to leave, something suddenly struck his mind: No, he came here because the Blackwater River suddenly turned dark, and he accidentally ran into this guy.
Although it was disgusting to see this scene, he still didn't understand why Heishuihe turned black.
Thinking of this, Xue Tianqing jumped into the air to see if he could find the Blackwater River still flowing through the ground by continuing upward.
But he walked around for a long time, hundreds of miles away, and still didn't find any water flow: Could it be that the Blackwater River originates from the mountains at his feet?
Thinking of this, Xue Tianqing resisted the discomfort and returned to the cave entrance, only to see the creatures that had just rushed into the cave leaving the cave along the current.
Several of them have obviously done something good, and from their slightly weird smiles, it can be seen that they are extremely satisfied this time.
Seeing the snowy sky here, Qing Qing felt nauseated again, so he quickly put down the clouds and found a place to rest for a while.
Half an hour later, the last fox finally left the entrance of the cave, and the strange fragrance could hardly be smelled at this time.
Xue Tianqing let out a long breath when he saw this, and then jumped to the entrance of the cave. He didn't even bother to use the invisibility method and rushed in directly.
By this time the sperm whale had returned to the water, its huge body almost cutting off the river.
Xue Tianqing hesitated for a moment, and finally shouted: "What are you?"
The words came out for a long time, but there was no movement from the other party.
Xue Tianqing shouted again while confused, and it worked this time.
I saw the sperm whale slowly raising its head, looking around with its big eyes for a long time, even if it was snowy and sunny, and it was not too small to swim in it, and then I found a person standing in the sky outside the cave.
"It turns out you are a human being. What are you doing here? This is not the place you should be."
Xue Tianqing snorted: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it's here anyway, so tell me, why do you want to turn the Heishui River black?"
"Blackwater River? You mean the stream underneath me, right?"
Xue Tianqing nodded: "That's it. Do you know that because the water of the river has turned black many times, the people on both sides of the river have been scared to leave their homes and move to other places. How pitiful it is. I really don't understand how a whale can run like this when it's not in the sea. What are you here for?"
The sperm whale looked at Xue Tianqing for a while: "Do you know my identity?"
"Isn't it just a sperm whale? A whale that can excrete special spices when convenient."
I don't want the other party to laugh loudly after hearing this: "Whale? You kid really dares to say anything. Let me tell you, I am Shen Kun, the last Shen Kun in the world!"
Xue Tianqing was stunned when she heard this: "Kunpeng's Kun?"
