Chapter 1306 This river was once called Dongchuan!
"Old man." Lin Ran squatted on the shore and shouted from a distance, "How many fish did you catch today?"
The old man turned his head, glanced at Lin Ran, and said a little helplessly, "I could have caught a few more fish, but now they are all gone because of you shouting like that."
Then, he held the boat and rowed to the shore, and walked down leisurely carrying the fish basket.
"There are five in total. Do you want to eat?" the old man said.
"If you don't want to eat, you still have to go on your way." Lin Ran smiled and said, "Today is pretty peaceful, right?"
"That noise yesterday, even planes and cannons came. Oh, I asked you two kids to leave early. Why don't you leave?" The old man was a little helpless. "I told you when I saw you, if you don't leave, I will leave."
No, Chengzhou is in such chaos."
Lin Ran smiled and said, "Don't worry, everything will be fine from today on."
The old man looked at Lin Ran, as if he didn't believe it, "Baby, do you really mean what you said? Are you really okay?"
"Of course it's true. Everything has been peaceful in Jingshen Immortal Palace." Lin Ran looked at the old man's appearance and said, "This world is completely peaceful." .??.??
"Peace is good, peace is the only way we can live a good life." The old man said, "However, at my age, I don't have much hope. I just need to live peacefully until I die."
"Where are your children?" Lin Ran asked.
"My son and my daughter died in this troubled world a long time ago. It happened more than ten years ago," the old man said.
It looks like a peaceful and prosperous age, but in fact human life seems to be even less valuable.
"Sorry, old man, I didn't know..." Lin Ran's face was full of apology.
It is indeed the most painful thing in the world for a white-haired person to give a black-haired person a gift. He regretted asking such a question.
"Hey, it's been so long, and this old man like me doesn't feel anything anymore." The old man took a deep look at Lin Ran and said, "I have said before that you are a kind boy and a kind person.
There will be good rewards."
"I'd like to lend you some kind words." Lin Ran smiled and changed the subject. He pointed behind the old man and said
"By the way, old man, what is this lake called?"
The old man said, "This lake has no name. It is said that it used to be a big river, but later the landform changed and it turned into a lake, but there are some tributaries around it."
"Then what was the name of this river before?" Lin Ran asked.
The old man replied, "It seems to be called Dongchuan."
"Dongchuan?" Lin Ran frowned slightly.
Is it because this is Dongchuan, that’s why the name Dongchuan layman and the first cave abode exist?
And what happened in the second cave of Blue Star? Could it be that , Dongchuan layman is not a person from his home world, but was born on a distant planet, and later returned to the Blue Star through some channels?
When Lin Ran got the answer and looked at the lake again, he suddenly had a different feeling.
I don't know if it was subconsciously, but Lin Ran always felt more familiar with this place.
In fact, Lin Ran has never been able to objectively evaluate people like Dongchuan Jushi. After all, he doesn't look like a good person if he can write such evil techniques.
However, now that he has obtained the other party's inheritance, improved due to this technique, and got top beauties like Wika and Luo Zhitian by accident, Lin Ran doesn't know whether he should treat Dongchuan layman
Call "Teacher".
"It turns out that this is Dongchuan." Lin Ran said softly.
Above the lake, there seems to be dense mist rising.
"There used to be outstanding people, but there have been too many disputes in the world over the years. It seems that the aura of this place has been wiped out. It's a mess." The old man looked at Lin Ran and Sara and said, "You two, where are you going next?"
?”
Sarah felt weird being called a baby, but she felt really comfortable in her heart... Which girl doesn't want to be pampered?
The next second, Lin Ran looked at Sara, "Baby, I want to ask you."
Sara hit Lin Ran's arm, and then said, "Old man, we are going to the West."
"Okay, they say the West is a world of flowers and flowers. It's very exciting, but our old man has never been there." The old man looked at Lin Ran, stroked his messy white beard, and said, "You are quite capable. You are a kid."
When such a beautiful daughter-in-law comes back, remember to come back to the East often to see her. If you stay in the West all year round, I'm afraid you won't be accustomed to the local environment."
Lin Ran did not clarify the relationship between him and Sara. The guy smiled and said, "Old man, don't worry, I will come back."
"When you come back next time, remember to take the baby girl to the lake to take a bath. They say there are treasures left by immortals at the bottom of the lake, and you might be able to find them." The old man said with a smile.
Lin Ran took a look at Sara's figure, smiled and joked, "Okay, then I'll have to let her wear a swimsuit next time."
This guy got it wrong... I'm asking you to take a bath, not swim.
Sarah took a deep look at the old man and smiled softly, "Next time I will go fishing with him."
…………
After walking far away, Sara pointed to the box at hand and said, "Can we fly away now?"
Before, Lin Ran had to walk for a while, not to spend some time with Salado, but to take a look at the old man.
"Okay, but what should I do if I only have one set of wings?" Lin Ran said, "How about I put on the wings and fly with you?"
"You carried me so far before, now let me hold you and fly." Sara smiled and expressed her worries without hesitation. "After all, if I were held by you from behind, I would be
I really don’t feel safe.”
"Uh, that's okay." Lin Ran said.
He was not confident in his own concentration. It would be embarrassing if he held Sara and flew away, and ended up uncontrollably saluting her from the sky.
Sara put on the wings and flew directly to the capital with Lin Ran in her arms.
Lin Ran was held tightly like this, and soft pressure came from his back.
"I always feel that this old man is not simple." Lin Ran said, "But when I looked carefully, I found that he really didn't seem to have much energy in him, and he had really entered the twilight years of his life."
"Maybe, it feels like some of his words are reminding you." Sarah said, "Of course, it's also possible that we are overthinking."
Lin Ran smiled and said, "He also asked us to go to the bottom of the lake to explore. Do you think why I didn't go directly into the lake just now?"
"Because the old man said, let you come again next time?" Sara asked.
"No." Lin Ran grinned, "It's mainly because you didn't bring a swimsuit this time."
When Sarah heard this, she let go and threw Lin Ran down.
………………
With the single-person wing, by evening, Lin Ran and Sara had already boarded a flight to the Kingdom of Morse.
This time, Saso went to hunt down the Blood God and did not leave his private plane behind. His Royal Highness's treatment suddenly dropped.
Leaning on the seat, Lin Ran slept all the way... There was no way, he and Luo Zhitian had been practicing last night and didn't sleep at all.
More than ten hours later, the plane landed, and Lin Ran was now on the other side of the distant planet.
Due to the jet lag, Lin Ran walked out of the cabin and found that it was still noon.
However, the climate here is obviously much colder, completely different from the midsummer in Donghua.
"I only have three days left on my vacation." Sarah said, "I will accompany you here for a while, and then I have to leave."
"You have to be in charge of the Seim Empire's intelligence agency, right?" Lin Ran grinned, "Sister Sara, you lied to me at first."
"I'm not completely lying to you. After all, I am She has the status of a senior maid." Sara said, "Starting from here, you can drive for a few hours to your territory of Holy Light."
That place used to be the fiefdom of the Lion Lord Garhwal and was owned by the Rahu Temple.
However, Emperor Yuri claimed this land so forcefully that the god Rahu actually remained silent.
The Lion Territory is isolated outside the sphere of influence of the Rahu Temple, and its area actually reaches more than 600 square kilometers. This territory is almost equivalent to a county in Blue Star. Garvar once said here that the Lion Territory is simply like
It is a completely independent small kingdom.
Although such a large land seemed very exciting at first, Lin Ran felt that his head was a bit big when he thought about it... How many spies could the enemy stuff into it?
"The Lion Territory has actually been a trading city in the past. The surrounding countries have always regarded it as a trade center, so it has always been a battleground for military strategists. Its strategic significance is extremely important." Sarah said, "However, since that city
After the city was occupied by Garhwal, the order in the city was not as good as before, and trade gradually declined. Instead, it became the favorite place for mercenaries to stay. There was a mix of fish and dragons, everyone was there, and there were people in the city every day because of their competitiveness.
There was a murder."
Lin Ran touched his nose and said angrily, "This Territory of Holy Light is simply a Territory of Chaos. Yuri just threw this place into my hands out of good intentions."
Sara smiled softly at the side. "In troubled times, great laws should be used. Perhaps, His Majesty believes that with you carrying the Blade of Holy Light, you will naturally be able to bathe the city in pure holy light."
"Bathing in the Holy Light...are there many female Bodhisattvas there?" Lin Ran coughed and asked.
"What female Bodhisattva?" Sarah naturally didn't understand that the word "holy light" had another meaning in Blue Star. However, she was extremely smart and immediately said, "Are you talking about the place of romance?"
"Uh..." Lin Ran touched his nose, "Forget it, that's understandable."
"There must be a lot of them, and you can find any kind of place you want, high-end or low-end." Sarah said, "In fact, many people come from far away just to experience this lion.
The style of the territory...otherwise, how could the Lion Lord Garvar be so rich?"
When Lin Ran heard that he was rich, his eyes suddenly brightened a little. "How rich is he?"
"It is said that this time, the empire incorporated the Lion Territory into the national border and confiscated Garvar's family property...all the figures are worth nearly half a year's tax revenue of the entire empire."
"I'm going... so much."
As Lin Ran said this, he suddenly came to his senses and cursed, "You bastard, Yuri, took all the money away and didn't even leave any soup for me?"
