On the loess road from Qingniu Town to Wu'an County, a young figure was running faster than a horse.
"Master! You risked losing your immortality to fulfill that person's last wish. I think you are a bit stupid!"
"Maybe."
"Fourth brother... If you don't have time to rush back, do you really plan to become a monk at Anqiong Temple?"
"I remember Master Dukong said that you can become a lay disciple."
"My dead mother! My daughter is useless. She failed to protect her younger brother and made him become a monk!"
"Hey! I clearly said I was a lay disciple!"
While Wu Jie was running away, he was chatting with Jasmine and Du Ruo in his mind - it was more like nonsense than chatting.
However, he rambled for a long time and finally had to explain his motives.
"I'm just touched." One mouth can't speak more than two mouths! When he was pressed and couldn't hide, he had to say honestly, "That person is a bit stupid, mute, and sick. But.
Just like that, out of filial piety, he kowtowed step by step and came to Qingniu Town, two thousand miles away. This filial piety moved even the heaven and earth. I am not a hard-hearted person, so it is normal for me to be moved!"
"Yeah, that makes sense! I was also very moved at the time!" Du Ruo nodded repeatedly after hearing this, "Actually, I don't object to you helping him fulfill his last wish, but I just think that if you can't enter Qingyang Temple, you will have to go to Anqiong Temple to become a monk.
Monk, I always feel sorry for your parents..."
"How about we not mention 'being a monk'! And why is it involving my father and mother again!"
Wu Jie was so angry that he was quarreling with Du Ruo when Jasmine suddenly asked thoughtfully: "Master...you only told half of what you said, right?"
"Eh? Why do you know that?" Wu Jie was startled, but Jasmine noticed all this.
Seeing Wu Jie being so surprised, Jasmine couldn't help but feel proud. She puffed out her flat chest and laughed arrogantly: "Don't underestimate the intuition of ancient creatures that have lived for hundreds of millions of years!"
Wu Jie sighed and had to tell the remaining half of the reason.
"I thought of my parents in another world." He said sadly, "The tree wants to be quiet but the wind is not stopping, and the child wants to be raised but cannot be loved. I can still be filial to my parents in this world, but the parents in that world have become gods.
Eternal separation, even if I really develop supreme supernatural powers in the future, and my cultivation is comparable to that of a god, it will be a long, long time later."
"I originally thought that the pain in my heart had been smoothed away by time, but it turned out that I still couldn't let it go." Wu Jie was silent for a while, and then said categorically, "Immortal cultivators pursue their true heart, and my true heart tells me that I must
go!"
"I'm not the kind of person who can give up everything in order to become an immortal. If I didn't take this trip, I would never be able to let go of the burden in my heart. I wouldn't be able to believe in my sincerity, and I wouldn't be able to climb the stone steps at all!
"
Du Ruo sighed when he heard this, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"You humans are really troublesome! We rabbits are much more convenient! You don't have to worry about who your parents are, as long as you live happily~"
"Jasmine, actually sometimes I really envy you, you are so carefree all day long..."
"I'm often troubled too! How can I be carefree!"
"Huh?" Du Ruo asked curiously, "What are you worried about? I see you are very happy eating and sleeping every day."
"Of course I have to worry! Should I eat the radish leaves first? Or the radish roots first? Should I use sugar to pickle radish? Or should I use salt?... There are so many worrying things! I worry and worry every day.
Even my hair turned white!"
"Aren't you a white rabbit? You have white hair to begin with, right?"
"How is that possible! I am a young and beautiful girl. I should have long, black and shiny hair!"
"...Young and beautiful? Girl?" Du Ruo couldn't help laughing, "When you were a girl, I don't know how many thousands of years ago it was!"
"Can you please stop looking so disbelieving! I am really a girl! Haven't you heard that a girl will always be a girl?"
"I have heard of the legend that 'a girl is always seventeen years old', but that girl must be an ordinary immortal cultivator, and her age may not even be a fraction of yours..."
"Senior Jasmine, didn't you say, 'I've watched the whole world countless times'? How can there be a girl as old as you in the world?"
As they talked and laughed all the way, the sadness in Wu Jie's heart gradually dissipated. He knew that Du Ruo and Jasmine were deliberately telling jokes to make him happy, and he couldn't help but be secretly moved.
It is indeed a sad thing to travel to this world and never see your relatives and friends on earth again. But people cannot always look back on the sadness of the past, but should cherish the happiness of the present, treat those around them well and care for themselves
people!
As he chatted and hurried on, he arrived in Wu'an County in a short while.
The day after tomorrow, when the peak master raced regardless of his physical strength, his speed was comparable to that of a BMW, and his endurance was far superior to that of a horse. The carriage originally took a day and a half to complete, but it only took him less than half an hour to finish.
According to the map, crossing the Da Chi River from Wu'an County, there is a small road that leads to a small town. From that small town, go all the way east and you will soon reach the source of the Xiao Chi River. Along the Xiao Chi River
Go down the river and the place where the river flows into the sea is Shuangyue Port.
This is the fastest road that Wu Jie found based on the map on the road. Although there may be many risks along the way, it can save a lot of distance compared to other roads. More importantly, it is very convenient when going down the river.
You can easily determine your direction without worrying about getting lost.
He was not afraid of danger or hard work, but he was afraid that he might accidentally get lost while trekking through the mountains and delay important events.
Don’t you see that the flying general Li Guang was so powerful in the Western Regions that he made the Huns respect and fear him, but he ended up committing suicide by drawing his sword because he got lost?
Getting lost is always the most terrible enemy of heroes!
The situation in Wu'an County was no different from the last time he came here. If there was anything worth noting, it was that he saw more than one eliminated immortal seeker in the county. It seemed that they were determined to live here.
Next, living in the place closest to the immortals.
Perhaps many years later, when Qingyang Temple opens its gate again, their descendants will rush to Qingniu Town as quickly as possible, inherit the legacy of their ancestors, and continue on the road to seeking immortality...
Wu Jie could not find a boat at the dock that could carry him across the Da Chi River - it was now the flood season, and the current of the Da Chi River was very turbulent. Ordinary ships and ordinary boatmen simply did not dare to try to cross the river, but those with strength and courage
The person who did this happened to be away.
Wu Jie asked several boatmen one after another to confirm the bad news. So he was no longer willing to wait. He walked to the river and took a deep breath. Then he exerted force on his feet and rushed directly towards the rolling rapids.
.
"Come and save people! Someone jumped into the river!"
More than one person exclaimed, but the exclamation soon changed to another one.
"Come and see! There is a god crossing the river on the waves!"
Of course Wu Jie is not a god, but as a martial arts expert with half a foot in the innate realm, as long as he increases his speed to the fastest speed regardless of physical consumption, he can indeed ride on the waves in a short time.
As long as you step fast enough, the water surface can also provide you with enough support. There are even birds and lizards on the earth that can temporarily run on the water. Wu Jie is a top martial arts master in the fairy world. With his super
Riding the waves at high speed across the Da Chi River, what is impossible!
But the rush was very exhausting. When he finally crossed the Dachi River and reached the opposite bank, his legs were weak and his breathing was rapid. He was so tired that he couldn't even breathe.
After swallowing a few ginseng pills to replenish his energy and resting for about two-quarters of an hour, Wu Jie regained some energy and continued running forward along the path.
This path is rugged and rugged, like a grass snake crawling forward in the mountains. There are no obvious signs on the roadside, and the road has even disappeared more than once. If Wu Jie had not gifted An
Like an electronic map, there are bamboo signs that can display the surrounding terrain and roads at any time. I am afraid I have already lost my way several times.
Even so, he didn't arrive at the small town that didn't even have a name until it was completely dark.
"Sir, are you planning to go to Shuangyue Port along the Xiaochi River?" When Wu Jie was having dinner at the only inn, restaurant, and grocery store in this town and asking for news, the fat shopkeeper who was part-time waiter and chef thought for a while and lowered his voice.
He said, "If you are more courageous and have good water ability, I have a suggestion."
"What's your suggestion? Tell me quickly!" Wu Jie couldn't help but feel anxious and asked loudly.
The shopkeeper put his finger in front of his mouth and made a "shhh" sound, signaling him to lower his voice. Then he looked around to make sure that no one was paying attention, then he came up to him and said in a voice that only he could hear clearly: "Tomorrow
Early in the morning, the wooden rafts will set off and head east along the Xiaochi River - this speed is very fast. It is said that it can travel thousands of miles in a day and night. Although I don't know if it can really go in one day.
It’s thousands of miles, but at least it’s much faster than traveling on your own!”
After hearing this, Wu Jie thought about it carefully and accepted the fat shopkeeper's suggestion. He gave the fat shopkeeper a small amount of money, and then under the guidance of the local man, he went to an open space near the river beach outside the town.
In this open space, at least hundreds of large trees have been cut down, and are being trimmed into log shapes one by one, and then tied into rafts. In the nearby river beach, many prepared rafts are being
Hold on to the rope and you can set off at any time.
The platoon gang supervisor who will be in charge of the upcoming raft transportation is named Lu Jia. He is a middle-aged man of medium height. His skin is dark, his face is covered with many cracks caused by the wind, and the corners of his eyes are a bit rotten, but he looks very energetic.
Well, it revealed the unique steady temperament of a weathered veteran, which reminded Wu Jie of the cheerful and talkative old escort from the disaster relief team.
After Lu Jia heard Wu Jie's intention, he agreed to Wu Jie's request without thinking about it and asked him to set off with Mu Qiuqiu tomorrow morning.
"A doctor like you is willing to take risks to deliver medicine two thousand miles away for the sake of chivalry; how can we, who are already taking risks, be inferior to you!"
As he said this, he led Wu Jie to a raft that had been completed.
"I'll trouble you to spend the night on this raft. We'll set off early tomorrow morning."
When Wu Jie asked about the speed of the raft, Manager Lu laughed and patted his chest and assured that he would be able to arrive in time.
"From here to Shuangyue Port, unless we encounter any big trouble, we will definitely be able to reach it within two days. Just wait for our good news on the raft!"
Early the next morning, just as he said, the raft untied the ropes tied to the shore amidst the sound of water roaring like thunder, and sailed down the fast Xiaochi River at a speed that was faster than a galloping horse.
quick!
Wu Jie was sitting in the front section of the raft, watching the scenery on both sides of the bank moving back, feeling the moist river wind blowing passionately, and couldn't help but smile.
