The tea stall owner vomited so hard that he not only vomited out all the tea he had just drank, but also probably all the overnight meal. Tears and mucus flowed from his nose, and he lay on the floor in the filth, moaning in pain, and was extremely embarrassed.

Gao Bufan looked at Yang Qingruo inquiringly, but the latter shook her head in surprise. She had met someone who had been poisoned before. Although the symptoms were very similar to those of the tea stall owner, the person did not vomit, but did not vomit.

He kept drinking water, and finally his belly burst. Although the tea stall owner in front of him looked miserable, he didn't seem to be in danger of his life.

Sure enough, after a while, the tea stall owner finally regained his composure and slowly got up. The boat owner Zhong Laoliu asked suspiciously: "Lao Wang, what are you arresting Zi Lao for?

?”

The tea stall owner was also confused. He just felt his throat was on fire and was very thirsty, so he kept drinking water. But now that he had finished vomiting, he felt that he was fine. He said calmly: "Maybe it's because the weather is too hot.

I couldn’t help but drink a little more.”

Zhong Laoliu was doubtful, so Gao Bufan asked calmly: "How does Boss Wang feel now? Do you want to find a doctor to take a look?"

"No, thank you Mr. Gao for your concern. I am also a crop farmer, so I am not so squeamish." Old Wangtou wiped the stains on his body in embarrassment.

Gao Bufan took a closer look at Lao Wangtou and saw that his aura was normal and he was obviously fine. He was curious and awe-inspiring. Is there really such a magical thing as voodoo in this world? If what Lao Wangtou was possessed by was voodoo, then there is a very good chance that it would be voodoo.

Eighty-nine times, it was the Miao brothers and sisters who did it, but how did they do it? With the skills of myself and Qingruo, I didn't even notice it. Isn't it terrible? Could it be that Gu magic can rely on the air like a virus?

spread?

When he thought of this, Gao Bufan couldn't help but feel a slight chill on his back. As the saying goes, it's easy to block an open gun, but hard to prevent a hidden arrow. If the Gu technique can really spread through the air, it will be invincible. No matter how high your martial arts skills are, you can do anything.

It seems that I have to wake up a lot before entering Sichuan. After all, there are many Miao people in Hunan, Sichuan and Guizhou.

Gao Bufan asked two soldiers to board the ship with their luggage along with Zhong Laoliu, then he and Yang Qingruo went to Yiling City to purchase a bunch of daily necessities, and then returned to the dock to board the ship.

Zhong Laoliu's bow cargo ship is indeed very large. It is a two-masted sailing ship. It contains half a cabin of cargo, mostly porcelain and cloth.

There is a space of about two square meters enclosed inside as the sleeping quarters for the two "brothers" Gao Bufan, so Yang Qingruo is quite satisfied with it.

As a result, Gao Bufan and Yang Qingruo slept in the same room that night. Although they were not married yet, they had done more intimate things, so for Yang Qingruo, sleeping in the same bed was not unacceptable, but Gao Bufan

Someone just wanted it, so that night he hugged his prospective wife-in-law's warm and fragrant jade-like body and fell asleep comfortably.

There was no talking all night, and before it got dark the next day, the cargo ship lit up the lights and sailed away from the dock.

There is a poem from the ancients that goes like this: The sound of roosters echoes in the moonlit cottage, and the frost on Banqiao is where people leave.

There is also a poem from the ancients that goes: If you don’t leave early, there will be more early travelers.

It can be seen that the ancients liked to do things as early as possible, especially when traveling far away, they would set off before dawn. One of the reasons was to cover an extra mile, and the second reason was to reserve time for safety.

Arrive at a safe place to stay for the night before sunset.

Although Zhong Laoliu's asking price is indeed a bit high, his ships go in and out of Bashu all the year round, and he is very familiar with the Yangtze River waterway. His boatmen are also skilled craftsmen, and they are already familiar with the ways of sailing in the Yangtze River.

So the boat

They only know when to set off and where to rest and anchor. Therefore, it is indeed relatively safe for Gao Bufan and others to take Zhong Laoliu's boat. In addition, the boat is large and the boat is much more comfortable.

It's worth a little money.

At this time, the wind happened to be favorable. The boatmen hung up the sails skillfully, adjusted the direction, and the cargo ship slowly headed up the Yangtze River. There was no need to paddle or anything, but the speed was crazy slow.

About half an hour later, the sky was bright, and a red sun rose from the direction of the stern of the ship, and the mountains in the direction of the ship's bow also rose up. The feeling of pressure that hit his face shocked Gao Bufan, and he blurted out:

: "We are about to enter Xiling Gorge!"

Gao Dahe heard this and asked curiously: "Has Dalang been here before?"

"I've been fascinated by it for a long time!" Gao Bufan coughed lightly and replied with a hint of humor. He had swam across the Three Gorges, but only in later generations a thousand or hundreds of years later. Moreover, there was already the Three Gorges Dam at that time, so the river course had to be

The water is much deeper and wider than now, so sailing will naturally be safer.

Yang Qingruo glanced at Gao Bufan suspiciously, because judging from his expression and tone, it was not as simple as "fascinated". Could it be that this guy had really been to the Three Gorges before? However, Yang Qingruo was attracted by the scenery in front of him before he had time to think too much.

For a while, I forgot to interrogate someone.

It is said that the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River are Xiling Gorge, Wu Gorge and Qutang Gorge. Among them, Xiling Gorge is the longest, more than 120 miles long, and is divided into four sections. The first section is called Huangmao Gorge, with high mountains on both sides.

However, the river is still relatively open, so it is not dangerous.

, that is, the water out of Shaanxi was very strong, and the wind was no longer enough to offset the flow speed, so the boatman under the cabin began to paddle hard, and the cargo ship was able to continue upstream. At this speed, it was really difficult to reach Bajun County (Chongqing).

It may take more than half a month.

The second section of Xiling Gorge is called Dengying Gorge. The mountains in the north of the Yangtze River are relatively high, but the mountains in the south of the Yangtze River are exquisite and beautiful, with lush trees. Occasionally, you can see a few green bamboos growing on the cliffs, as well as purple and red wild flowers, and some apes and monkeys.

Climbing and leaping over dangerous cliffs is really nerve-wracking.

Gao Bufan and others were attracted by the scenery on both sides of the strait. Apart from eating and sleeping, they almost spent the rest of the time on the deck admiring the scenery on both sides of the strait. However, Zhong Laoliu and the boatmen were stunned. They sailed on both sides of the strait all year round.

I'm tired of seeing the scenery. The mountains and rivers are so ordinary, nothing interesting about them.

"Gao...Brother, look, there seems to be a temple up there!" Yang Qingruo almost called Gao Lang out, and couldn't help but blush slightly.

Gao Bufan followed what Yang Qingruo expected and saw a building on a slightly lower mountain on the south bank. At this time, there were bursts of bells. It was indeed a temple. He couldn't help blurting out: "That's Huangling."

temple!"

"Hey, how do you know?" Yang Qingruo turned her beautiful eyes and asked suspiciously.

Gao Bufan said without changing his expression: "Of course I saw it from the book. Second brother, although it is said that reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles, you still have to read more books. If you are so lazy, when will you be able to catch up?

Do you have to be half as good as your brother to learn?"

Yang Qingruo couldn't help but get angry and glared at Gao Bufan. At this time, a boatman happened to pass by and asked, "What kind of temple is that on the mountain?"

Although Yang Qingruo was extremely handsome, her temperament was too cold and she always seemed to avoid strangers. Therefore, the boatmen on the ship did not dare to strike up a conversation with her. At this time, she actually took the initiative to ask. The boatman was flattered and said with a smile.

: "That's the Huangling Temple. It was built during the Eastern Han Dynasty. If Gao Erlang wanted to visit, he told the boat boss that we could stop here and rest for half a day."

Yang Qingruo was obviously a little moved, but when he thought that Li Tang's people were competing for the wonderful land in Bashu, every day, the place where the Buddhist treasures were located might fall into Li Tang's hands, so he shook his head and said: "

Forget it, we’ll talk about it later when we return.”

"Okay!" The boatman smiled and walked away. Yang Qingruo immediately glanced at Gao Bufan with his wonderful eyes. The latter felt a little guilty for no reason. He was not afraid to tell Yang Qingruo that he came from a thousand or hundreds of years later.

A time traveler, but I’m afraid that the other person won’t believe me even if I tell him.

On this day, the cargo ship sailed to the third section of Xiling Gorge - Kongling Gorge. The mountainous water suddenly became dangerous. The boatmen headed by Zhong Laoliu felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy, as if the air suddenly became tense.

.

"Mr. Gao, we are about to cross the Kongling Beach. You'd better go into the cabin and stay." Zhong Laoliu came over to remind him.

Yang Qingruo was admiring the scenery on both sides of the Taiwan Strait when he heard this and frowned: "Why?"

Zhong Laoliu said solemnly: "Kongling Beach is extremely dangerous. Even experienced people have many boats capsized here, so there is a saying in our industry: Qingtan Beach is not a beach, and Mountain Mountain is the gateway to hell. For the sake of you two

For the sake of my son’s safety, you’d better go into the cabin.”

When Yang Qingruo heard this, he was even more reluctant to enter the cabin. Gao Bufan smiled and said: "Old Zhong, don't take care of us, just sail the boat carefully. We two brothers have practiced martial arts since childhood, and our skills are quite good. We just happened to see this place known as the Gate of Hell."

The Kongling Beach.”

Zhong Laoliu couldn't help but secretly rolled his eyes, but at this time the cargo ship had already sailed near the Kongling Beach, and the hull began to shake, so Zhong Laoliu had no time to care about these strange brothers who were too long-lived.

Rush to the bow and steer the ship.

At this time, Kongling Beach finally arrived, and the mountains on both sides were cut like knives. The river suddenly became very narrow. The mountain walls stretched across the river, forming an extremely winding and narrow "door". The boat could only move slowly.

Slowly adjusting to pass, if you are not careful, you will bump into it, and everyone's hearts can't help but rise.

Seeing the big ship turning around the "gate" little by little, before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, they heard the sound of rumbling water, like muffled thunder, and saw the surging river water pouring down from a high place, with waves rising nearly two feet high.

The situation was so terrifying that even Gao Bufan couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. Yang Qingruo also subconsciously grabbed one of Gao Bufan's hands, and the other hand tightly grasped the string of the boat.

At this time, the ship's hull rocked sharply, and Zhong Laoliu at the helm shouted: "Cross the beach!"

Several boatmen took the left pole of the long pole and poked it again. They nervously adjusted the position of the ship, straightened the direction, and moved the cargo ship toward the beach little by little. Suddenly, the ship's hull shook violently, as if it was hit by the bottom of the ship.

When it reached the beach, the cargo ship that was moving slowly started to retreat.

This is terrible, just like a car that is climbing a steep slope. Suddenly it loses power and the brakes cannot stop. It will eventually fall down the steep slope. Therefore, the situation is very dangerous at this time. Once the boat retreats, loses control and hits the mountain wall, it will easily
