Chapter Fifty-fifth Fishing and Woodcutters Farming
() Huang Rong led the two of them through the black swamp and walked to the hut.
Zheng Xie called out: "Senior Yinggu, the divine fortune teller, is he here? I have something to see you, Zheng Xie."
A woman's cold voice came from inside the hut: "I don't have time to see you, so don't bother me."
Huang Rong wrinkled her little nose and hummed: "This woman is quite manic."
Zheng Xie shrugged and said: "Not many people in the world are good-tempered. Just look at me and tell her to come out obediently and invite us in with just one sentence."
Huang Rong laughed and said, "Then I'll see what Xie Xie is capable of."
Zheng Xie softly chanted: "With four machines, the mandarin ducks will fly together."
Just after finishing half a sentence, the door of the hut was opened, and a woman with white hair, wrinkles on her forehead, but no facial features that looked old jumped out, her eyes fixed on Zheng Zheng.
Xie asked anxiously: "Who are you and how do you know this poem?"
This person is none other than Yinggu. Her hair turned gray overnight more than ten years ago and she is now less than forty years old.
Huang Rong smiled and said: "Brother Xie, she didn't invite us in." Bo Bicao, deep in the cold dawn, facing each other in red clothes."
Yinggu became furious, stepped in front of him, reached out to grab him, and said: "Who told you this poem? Who is it? Tell me quickly."
Huang Rong laughed and said, "That's two sentences."
Zheng Xie shook his head helplessly. He raised his hand and threw Yinggu into the hut, saying, "She didn't invite her, so we had to go in by ourselves."
Yinggu was not injured after landing. She stood up straight and asked herself: "Who asked you to come?"
Zheng Xie said: "We came here uninvited and have a question."
Yinggu said: "Answer me first, and then I'll tell you."
Zheng She said: "You don't know what I'm asking and you just say that, which shows that you don't have any sincerity. Forget it, we'll just stop asking and say goodbye."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
"Don't go, have you seen Zhou Botong?" Yinggu said, grabbing Zheng She's back.
Zheng Xie waved his sleeves back, and with a powerful force he pushed Ying Gu out. He turned around and said, "I want to know where the Southern Emperor Duan Huang lives now?"
Yinggu looked fierce and said, "What is your relationship with Duan?"
Zheng She said: "It doesn't matter."
Yinggu asked again: "What are you looking for him for?"
Zheng She said: "This has nothing to do with you. You just need to tell me where he lives now."
"I keep the address of Duan in my mind every night and dare not forget it." Yinggu turned around and took out a map from the table and gave it to Zheng She. She added: "Now you can tell me, that song
Where did you hear the word?"
Zheng Xie took the map, glanced at it, folded it and put it away, and said, "Zhou Botong has left Peach Blossom Island. As for where to go, I don't know where to go."
Yinggu was surprised and happy, with a face full of disbelief, and said: "He...he really left Peach Blossom Island?"
Zheng Xie said: "Yes, he left half a month ago. With his temperament, it is impossible for him to settle down. If you are interested, you can naturally find out about him."
Ying Gu cried with joy: "It's so... so good."
Zheng She said: "Let's go."
The three of them came out of the Black Marsh Forest. Zheng Xie took out the map and walked towards Taoyuan County according to the signs.
Huang Rong asked: "What is her relationship with Zhou Botong?"
Zheng Xie said: "She is Zhou Botong's woman. It's a long story, let's talk as we walk. Yinggu was originally the concubine of Emperor Duan of the Southern Emperor. One day, Wang Chongyang took Zhou Botong to the Dali Palace.
Go to see Prince Duan... Later, Zhou Botong was imprisoned on Peach Blossom Island by his father-in-law. She got the news from nowhere, and she kept looking for a way to get through the Peach Blossom Forest. This is how she got the nickname "Magical Fortune Teller".
Mu Nianci said: "I see, Aunt Ying must love Zhou Botong very much."
Huang Rong said: "Yes, I never thought that some people would like Zhou Botong's naughty character."
Zheng Xie said: "This is called radish and green vegetables, everyone has their own preferences."
Not long after they left, Qiu Qianren led a group of his disciples in the direction of Black Marsh Forest to seek justice for Elder Wu. Unfortunately, they arrived a step too late. After Yinggu learned about Zhou Botong, she pressed her patience
Unable to stop, he and Zheng Xie left together.
Qiu Qianren shouted outside the forest for a long time but no one responded, so he had no choice but to leave with his disciples.
"This is it." Zheng Xie and the others followed the map and came to a beautiful mountain forest in Taoyuan County. They saw two peaks standing side by side in the distance, and a large white dragon-like waterfall rushing from between the two mountains on the opposite side.
Down below, the roar of the water was surging and the sound was astonishing.
There is a thatched house under the waterfall, and outside the house there is a fisherman wearing a bamboo hat, sitting on the stone fishing.
"Yes, it should be here. There is a fisherman over there, let's ask him about it." As Huang Rong spoke, she ran towards the hut, came behind the fisherman, and said, "Uncle, where does Emperor Duan live?"
Here.”
This fisherman was about forty years old, with a big black face and a very fierce look. He looked at Huang Rong carefully, waved his hand impatiently and said: "There is no Prince Duan here, you have found the wrong person.
Go quickly, go quickly."
Zheng Xie walked to the stone and when he heard the fisherman's words, he nodded with a smile and said, "That's right."
Mu Nianci said: "Didn't he say that Emperor Duan is not here?"
Zheng She said: "If he is really not here, he doesn't have to drive us away. I heard that Emperor Duan has four disciples who are fishermen, woodcutter, farmers and readers, who stay at the foot of the mountain to block those who seek to see you. I must be the fisherman brother."
The fisherman no longer denied it and asked, "Who are you, and why do you want to see my master?"
Zheng She didn't answer. Instead, he stood under the waterfall and looked up. He saw that the mountain wall was slippery and steep, making it difficult to climb. He said, "Nian Ci, Rong'er, let's look around and see where we can go up the mountain."
The fisherman sneered and said: "If there is no one to guide you, you will never be able to climb this mountain."
Huang Rong said: "That's not necessarily the case. If you can get there, we can certainly get there too."
The fisherman still had a look of disbelief on his face. The three of them ignored him and split into two groups to look for a path. Soon, Huang Rong shouted: "Brother Xie, I found the path."
Zheng Xie came over, took a look, and said: "Yes, although the river is a bit fast, it is not difficult to go upstream. We have to borrow a boat from that fisherman brother."
The fisherman also came over and said, "You are very smart, but you cannot borrow a boat."
Zheng Xie said: "If you can't borrow it, then you have to rob it."
As he spoke, Zheng She pointed at him.
The fisherman's acupuncture points were immediately sealed, with a look of horror on his face, and said: "How could you..."
"Yiyang refers to it. Are you allowed to do it and not me? Don't worry, your acupuncture points will untie themselves in half an hour." Zheng Xie said casually.
The three of them got a small boat and went upstream.
