At noon, clouds gathered in the sky and gradually became gloomy.
With his wings spread, Du Kang felt that the clouds above his head were dull and oppressive, and the water vapor was surprisingly rich, which was the sign of an approaching mountain rain. He was worried that he would be struck by the first spring thunder of the year if he continued flying, so he adjusted his wings and landed on the ground.
As he walked striding along the official road along the river, convoys passed by him from time to time. When he saw a person rushing on his way, he quickly passed by with an expression on his face. He was obviously very wary of a lone ranger like Du Kang.
Anyone who dares to walk alone in the wilderness without dying from the monster's mouth is not a weak hand.
On this large trade road that connects the north and the south, there are many famous lone masters who specialize in plundering caravans for a living, so the caravans cannot help but be on guard.
A gust of cold wind blew from the river, making Du Kang's loose green shirt make a rustling sound.
The surging river water rolls away from south to north, and the waves on the Lancang River, which is dozens of feet wide, are rushing. The waves are blown higher by the river wind and rush to the shore, causing a continuous lapping sound.
A slender streak of lightning wandered around in the dark clouds, accompanied by rumbling thunder, and little spring rain fell from the sky.
The drizzle fell one after another, and before it fell on Du Kang, it was deflected aside by the breeze around him. Du Kang, who had been traveling for a long time in the wind and rain, did not even get his green shirt wet.
Suddenly, a loud shout came from a distance.
"This eldest brother is in great spirits. Walking in the spring rain has its own free and easy feeling, but this place is still dozens of miles away from Lancang City. Why not get on the boat and have a glass of wine. The boat will go down the river and arrive in an instant."
Du Kang followed the sound and saw a three-story boat going along with the waves on the waves of the Lancang River. A short boy was standing on the side of the boat, shouting in the direction of a drake who was in the stage of changing his voice.
"Rainy day! Invitation! It's very similar to those strange stories I heard in my previous life."
In his spiritual eyes, the boat in the building had some weak demonic aura. When Du Kang saw someone so hospitable, he snorted lightly and spit out a stream of white light. The white-faced boy turned into a wide chisel floating beside him in the wind.
He stepped on the chisel with his feet, put his hands behind his back, faced the wind and rain, and flew into the sky with his sword. The chisel carried Du Kang straight towards the building boat in the center of the river.
Du Kang is a good man. If this ship simply wanted to carry him on a rainy day, it would naturally have to pay the fare; if this was a black ship, Du Kang would choose to eliminate harm to the people and add some money to his own depleted wallet.
Oil and water.
The distance of dozens of feet passed in an instant. Du Kang stopped on the river and walked side by side with the boat. He stood on the white-faced boy, ignoring the waves rolling under his feet, and looked at the young man who greeted him.
This is a handsome young man with no aura, just a mortal. Not to mention his appearance compared to Du Kang, he is not very eye-catching even among the crowd, but the aura on the Taoist robe worn by the other person is shining, and he is obviously a magic weapon.
, which made that ordinary face look so noble.
Dressed so well, he doesn't look like a black ship.
"This eldest brother is actually a sword cultivator. To have a great sword cultivator come here will make this humble place full of glory. Brother, please get on the boat quickly. It is easy to attract the energy of thunder and fire when the sword is lifted into the sky on a rainy day."
Du Kang looked at the young man carefully for a while, and then glanced at the boatmen and servants walking back and forth on the boat. Then he jumped on the board and inhaled the white-faced boy into a stream of golden air into his nostrils.
The ship's crew and servants all paid no attention to Du Kang's methods on board the ship. They just went about their business with peace of mind, which made Du Kang thoughtful.
But the young man's eyes lit up and he stepped forward.
"I've long heard that sword cultivators' methods are unpredictable, but when I saw them today, they were indeed extraordinary."
The teenage boy's drake voice sounded a bit harsh. But the other person's smile was sincere, and it was only their first time meeting him, which made Du Kang unconsciously like him.
"My magic is not a sword cultivation method. I'm just a guy who can rush on the road. I have to thank this young master for taking me on a journey."
"It's good to be at home, but it's difficult to go out. When I left home this time, my father told me to make many good connections. I guess the direction my eldest brother is traveling is also going to Lancang City. It's inconvenient to wield a sword on a rainy day, so he took my ride.
Let’s get on the boat.”
After the young man said this, he grabbed one of Du Kang's hands and pulled him towards the cabin of the building ship.
The opponent didn't move quickly. Du Kang could obviously dodge, but suddenly a thought came into his mind. He was just a cheerful mortal boy. If he had any bad thoughts towards him, he would just let him pull him forward.
But the panel that popped up abnormally made Du Kang feel a sudden change in his heart.
【Name】: Lou Shisan
[How to Escape Life]: The life demon likes hardship, joy and other qi, so as to see unexpected blessings and disasters.
You can choose a small city to use power magic to interfere with the fate of all living beings in the city, making the rich become poor, the powerful fall into dust, the little people rise to power, and what you have worked hard to pursue all your life is gained and lost in the blink of an eye... interpreting the unpredictable changes in fate.

The wooden deck beneath his feet made a thumping sound. Du Kang raised his eyebrows and continued to let Lou Shisan pull him towards the stairs of the upper cabin.
This was the first time that the spiritual eye was completely blinded by other spells. But Du Kang's mentality was relatively peaceful. He had known for a long time that he would encounter something like today, but he didn't expect that this day would come so quickly.
After all, spiritual eye is a pupil technique that focuses on the essence of spiritual energy. There are three thousand basic talismans in the Talisman Path. There are more than 2,500 talismans related to spiritual energy, and there are only less than 500 talismans related to other concepts.
This is how it gained its reputation as one of the top ten pupil arts in the world.
Nowadays, when I encounter this more professional and corresponding spell, I am immediately blinded.
Wang Qi among Lou Shisan's skills is also one of the top ten pupil skills. It can only be obtained through fortune-fixing and luck-related spells.
If the spiritual eye can look directly into the sea of spiritual energy and can easily see the aura of the world of mortals, it is the pupil of spiritual energy, then the gazing energy is the pupil of destiny that can see the fate of heaven, earth, and people in the world.
Du Kang would never believe a person with this kind of ability who invited Du Kang to come to the boat just to take shelter from the rain and have a drink.
He felt that he had a strong head and that he was always surrounded by wind and rain when traveling. At a glance, he saw that he had a domineering air and wanted to make friends with himself before he became successful.
However, it was necessary to be on guard against others. Du Kang was secretly vigilant in his heart without showing it on his face. He followed Lou Shisan and climbed the narrow wooden stairs to the top floor of the ship.
The view here is wide, the black rolling clouds, the hazy fields and mountains in the distant drizzle, the big river, and the cargo ships flowing down the river, all together form a picturesque river scene.
In the corner of the top of the boat, a large umbrella has been inserted to protect from the rain. There is a table under the umbrella. There is a hot pot with boiling soup in the middle of the table, surrounded by various slices of meat and vegetables.
Only then did Du Kang notice that in the middle of the Canglan River in the rain, the building was not swaying, and it felt like walking on flat ground when he stepped on it. He didn't know what kind of magic had been cast on it.
The two of them took their seats one after another.
In the distance on the river, there were boatmen from other merchant ships shouting slogans and working in the wind and rain.
Here, there was only the slight sound of drizzle hitting the umbrella above his head, and the charcoal fire under the hot pot was burning brightly. Drinking, eating, and admiring the scenery, Du Kang actually experienced a rare sense of leisure while rushing.
Lou Shisan wanted to pour wine for Du Kang, but was rejected with a wave of his hand. He took out a long-necked wine flask from his arms and poured it for himself. At that moment, he didn’t force himself anymore, he just poured himself a glass and raised his glass in toast.
"My younger brother Lou Shisan, I was on the boat just now and saw my eldest brother walking alone on the road with a heroic attitude. He must not be an ordinary person. I wonder if he knows his name?"
"My name is Lin Chun. I don't dare to take the name of eldest brother. My younger brother is a few years younger than me. Why don't you just call me Brother Chun."
Lou Shisan just smiled when he heard this. It was obvious that this monk who was good at observing people did not believe that this was Du Kang's real name.
"Brother Chun travels the rivers and lakes and acts cautiously and steadily. My younger brother admires him. It is true that reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. I started from home and took a bird demon flight to the source of the Canglan River. I traveled down the river all the way and saw a lot of local customs and customs.
, capable people and strangers, but this is the first time I have seen someone like Brother Chun."
"Are you talking about my appearance? This is indeed rare in the world. It has caused many beauties to cry and also made me very distressed."
Lou Shisan had lived for more than ten years, and this was the first time he met someone who praised his good looks so bluntly in front of others. He quickly drank a glass of wine to calm down his shock before saying.
"Brother Chun is not only good-looking, but also a funny person. I know a little bit about physiognomy, and I did see a series of peach blossoms between Brother Chun's eyebrows. I'm afraid that you will be accompanied by many beauties in your life, and you will not be able to stop suffering.
"
"Little brothers can still meet each other! Then look, what kind of luck does Brother Chun have other than love luck?"
Lou Shisan's words aroused Du Kang's interest, and he immediately put the troubles of love luck behind him.
"Brother Chun, the auras on your head are like clusters of flowers. This is actually the only scene I have seen in my life. I can only think of eight words to describe it: raging fire cooking oil, flowers blooming with brocade. It is also because I saw Brother Chun's extraordinary aura that I invited you on board.
I also hope Brother Chun won’t dislike my younger brother’s utilitarianism.”
This kind of fortune teller's words can never be fully believed. Du Kang only listens for fun and doesn't take it seriously. However, Lou Shisan bluntly said that he invited him on board because he saw that he was extraordinary, which made Du Kang have a good impression.
.
Most of the spells involving fate are weird, they are silent when activated, and they moisturize things silently. Although Du Kang doesn't know if this good impression is the effect of the spell, at least now he has a good impression of Lou Shisan.
At this time, the mutton in the pot was cooked. Du Kang picked up his chopsticks and turned them around in the pot, then took away most of the mutton and said with a smile.
"I don't have to travel hard on this rainy day and can still eat such fresh mutton meat. I should be lucky to be on the boat."
"The boat is simple and simple, and this meal has been prepared hastily. I hope Brother Chun likes it."
Lou Shisan poured all the plates of mutton on the table into the pot. Still feeling dissatisfied, he clapped his hands again, and immediately two pretty maids boarded the top of the boat.
"How can it be called fresh if there are sheep but no fish? I have long heard that among the demons in the Canglan River, the green carp is the most delicious. You two go down to the river and catch a green carp demon to drink with my eldest brother."
The two maids responded, and Yingying bowed to the two people at the table, then twisted her slender waist towards the female wall who walked into the building.
A gust of river wind blew, and the thin clothes of the two women fell to the deck with the wind. Only two slender people in underwear and bellybands were left. The two looked at each other and jumped into the rolling river like two fishes.
In the middle, it only brought up two tiny waves.
Lou Shisan saw Du Kang's confused eyes and explained.
"My two maids practice the Shark Girl Technique. After practicing this technique, they can easily swim in the deep sea. The Canglan River is just a small river for them. Brother Chun will catch a green carp fish monster."
.”
Du Kang thanked him profusely and swallowed the mutton with his throat. In fact, all the meat did not fall into the stomach pouch, but was secretly sent into the stomach pouch by him.
Feng Qilu's experience of drinking Xiangliu's poison and being turned into a formation spirit by the cooperation of a dutiful son and dutiful daughter was still vivid in his mind. How dare he eat the food provided by others.
After that, while Du Kang and Lou Shisan were eating at the red stove hot pot, they began to insinuate each other's identity.
Du Kang has heard of the Shark Girl Technique. This technique is indeed good at diving deep underwater. This technique was originally created to facilitate deep-sea pearl fishing. However, later generations discovered that women who practice this technique will grow various famous weapons. Since then,
, this magic spread among the maids in the palace and high-ranking families.
Lou Shisan can fly from his home on a monster bird to the source of the Canglan River, and then ride a thirty-foot boat down the river. There are many servants to serve him. He can protect himself with a strange monster like Ba Snake at a young age.
For such a harsh spell as the escape method, it is obvious that it is not as simple as having money in the family.
Lou Shisan did not hide anything. He bluntly said that after 20 years, the Lord of the Dragon Palace wanted to recruit a son-in-law again. Although there was no definite news yet, it has caused turmoil in all directions. I am afraid that the situation in Bibohai will change in a while.
It has to get complicated.
This news surprised Du Kang. Although before coming to Bibohai, he thought that as long as he stayed here, he would always meet the Dragon King's married daughter, but this was such a coincidence that he couldn't help but secretly wonder whether he should rely on this handsome face Go and join in the fun.
As for what Lou Shisan said, he was too young and his family only asked him to come and see the world. Du Kang did not believe it. He still remembered that the escape method "guided and deeply participated in a matter that changed the fate of millions of people or The advanced conditions for "a major event in a regional situation".
Most people who practice destiny magic are not very honest. In the conversation with Lou Shisan and Du Kang, he only revealed some things that he thought were unimportant and kept silent about his family background. Since he came to Bibohai, for When you advance your spells, you will definitely have to navigate the troubled waters of the Dragon King recruiting a son-in-law.
After finishing the whole pot of mutton, two sounds of water breaking finally reached their ears.
After waiting for a while, the two wet maids each dragged a newly dead big blue fish to the top of the boat. The large area of exposed white skin on their backs and the water stains on their bodies made Du Kang unable to distinguish them from the fish on the ground for a moment. Which one is the fish?
The maid rinsed the fish demon on the top of the boat, then started to cut off pieces of fish meat with the knife she carried with her. Then she put the meat on a tray and brought it to the hot pot table.
The fish fillets still had a touch of demonic aura, and it was obvious that these two fish had become demons. When the fish demons first moved to the top of the boat, Du Kang saw that there was no wound on their bodies, and he had no idea what these two seemingly delicate maids were. How to kill them.
This meal lasted for more than an hour. Seeing the ships sailing in the river getting denser and denser, and the tall city wall of Canglan City approaching, Du Kang finally put down his chopsticks and said goodbye to Lou Shisan.
"We've arrived at Canglan City. I've been harassing you all the way. I hope the captain of the ship will forgive me."
"Brother Chun, why did you suddenly become so polite before leaving? I didn't see you being so polite when you took your chopsticks to the fish just now."
Du Kang smiled freely. "Originally I wanted to pay for the boat fare and meal. Since my little brother won't let me be polite, I won't be polite this time. I won't pay the money. I'll treat you to a drink next time we meet."
"Brother Chun, wait a moment."
I saw Lou Shisan wiping the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, patting his hands a few times, and then another maid walked up to the top of the boat carrying a tray.
Lou Shisan stood up and picked up a piece of golden foil paper from the tray, walked to Du Kang, thrust the paper into his hand and said.
"My little brother is good at face-to-face. When I first met Brother Chun, I felt that you were destined for this method. I hope you can accept this small gift. If the thirteenth comes to ask for help in the future, I hope Brother Chun will remember today's boat trip on the river. The pleasure.”
Spell information appeared silently on the light blue panel.
