The Negative River Beast went all the way down the river and traveled seven or eight hundred miles. Qin Mu saw a village built next to a temple on the riverside. He was slightly startled. He saw a man with three braids sitting on the plaque of the ruined temple.
little girl.
Qin Mu immediately asked the Negative River Beast to stop along the river, leaving the white fox behind while he walked ashore.
When he came to this village, he saw that the villagers here were also prosperous and lived in peace and contentment. Several old ladies were going to the temple to offer incense and the offering was half a piece of pig.
Qin Mu came to the temple. When the little girl saw him, she jumped down and hid in the temple.
"Nv Wu, I saw you, why do you need to hide from me?" Qin Mu said with a smile.
The little girl walked out of the temple and said with a smile: "I'm not hiding from you, but I'm waiting for you to go into the temple to burn incense and say something like "I've been weak and kidney-deficient since childhood, so that people can laugh at you!"
Qin Mu couldn't laugh or cry. He looked around and saw that the temple had been cleaned up, without any dust. Only the incense burner in the yard was still burning with fragrance. He walked to the statue of the god enshrined in the temple and saw this statue.
She is a little girl, her appearance is similar to the Xian Qing'er transformed by Wu Nu.
Qin Mu turned behind the statue and found no bones. Then he felt relieved and walked out of the temple, curiously asking: "Why do you live here?"
Wu Nu was proud of herself: "I am earning merit here! I protect this village. The people in the village support me. I help them drive away wild beasts. Occasionally, I carry water from the river to help them irrigate their fields and make it rain. When there is too much rain, I help them drive them away."
Dark clouds, help them create wind when there is no wind, and help them drive away the wind when the storm comes. In the past, I ran around catching people and animals to eat, but I was caught and suppressed by the old bandit Tudu. Now I have become a Buddha in the temple.
Ancestor, if someone supports you, you can earn merit!"
Qin Mu smiled and said, "Didn't you go upstream? How did you get here?"
"That day you and I broke the ice dam, so I wandered around. I met the monks from Xiaoleiyin Temple and had a fight with me. I couldn't beat them, so I ran away. Then I fled here and hid here.
In the temple, bandits happened to invade, so I ate the bandits. When the people in the village saw me, they thought it was the gods from the temple appearing, so they offered cattle and sheep and offered incense to me. I accepted them
I felt a little embarrassed about the benefits, so I helped them do something."
Wu Nu jumped up on the plaque again, swaying her feet and said: "They treated me better, and I became more and more embarrassed, so I stayed here."
Qin Mu laughed and said: "You don't have any intention of doing good, but it is a good deed. You are going to become a Buddha." After that, he turned and left.
Wu Nu watched him go away and whispered: "I don't want to become a monk, what's the fun in being a vegetarian every day..."
Qin Mu returned to the back of the Negative River Beast. The green-backed giant slowly swam out of the shallow water, gradually speeding up and heading downstream. Qin Mu looked back at the ancient temple and saw the little girl with pigtails in the temple.
Shake and shake, accepting the incense and offerings from the villagers.
The gushing river is surging and the waves are rolling.
When they arrived at the dock of Xianglong City, Qin Mu and Hu Ling'er landed and came to the city.
This city has fallen into the hands of the Demon Sect. Although Granny Si has not appeared as Fu Yundi these days, nothing has happened here. After all, Fu Yundi often practices in seclusion.
Qin Mu came to the inn, called the innkeeper, and said: "Master Xiang, is there a way to avoid the sight glass and enter the Yankang Kingdom?"
The innkeeper said: "There are two passes to enter the Yankang Kingdom nearby, one is Yanbian and the other is Mishui. There are many troops stationed at Yanbian Pass and Mishui Pass. There are sight glasses hanging on the towers. All the abandoned people in the market will
They were photographed, shot, or sent to the mines as slaves. It would be even more dangerous if they had to go over the mountains. Daxu is connected to Yankang by the Shenduan Mountains, which are extremely steep and terrifying.
It is difficult to cross. In order to be on guard against the mobs in Daxu, Yankang State ambush Xuanji Crossbows on these mountains. If you try to cross the mountains, you will only be shot by Xuanji Crossbows."
Qin Mu frowned and said, "Is there no way to enter Yankang Country?"
The innkeeper smiled and said: "Others don't have it, but our holy sect has many ways. Before the trade, in order to smuggle goods, our holy sect secretly destroyed two Xuanji crossbows on the Shenduan Mountains, climbed over the Shenduan Mountains, and walked through the Kuji Ridge Canyon.
, and then enter Daxu. Nowadays, Daxu trades with Yankang, and this road has been abandoned, because it is easier to enter Yankang. If you want to enter Yankang, you can take Mi Shui Pass. Many of the guards at Mi Shui Pass are
We, the people of the Holy Religion.”
Qin Mu's expression moved slightly. The power of the Heavenly Demon Sect is really too huge. It is worthy of being the largest sect in the Demonic Way!
He thought for a while and said: "You go and prepare a geographical map of Yankang. I will read it on the road. First, I will familiarize myself with the mountains and rivers geography of Yankang country."
"yes."
The innkeeper retired, Qin Mu and Hu Ling'er had dinner, took a shower and went to bed.
The next day, the innkeeper brought a thick document, including a geographical map of the entire Yankang Kingdom and a detailed map of counties and counties. Qin Mu put these geographical maps in his bag and said, "Who will take me to Mi Shuiguan?"
The innkeeper smiled and said: "Don't worry, young master. The food has been prepared. I invite you to have a meal. When you get to the river, there will naturally be brothers from the holy religion to guide you."
Qin Mu and Hu Ling'er finished their breakfast and came to Yongjiang River. They saw a large boat docked on the shore. A young girl in green stood on the boat. She greeted him politely and said softly: "I have met the young master. Please give me a favor."
Young Master, move."
"No need to be polite."
Qin Mu took Hu Ling'er on board the ship and said to the girl in green: "Sister, can you take me into the city and hide it from the sight glass?"
The girl in green clothes smiled and said: "Of course I can't hide my identity from the sight glass. However, I am Qianhu Fengxiuyun from Mi Shuiguan. I am responsible for checking people entering and leaving the city gate. Naturally, I can take the young master into the city or out of the city."
Qin Mu was surprised. This girl, who looked young, had already become a Qianhu guarding the border. He immediately said: "Sister Laofeng."
Under the building boat, a giant beast emerged from the water and went down the river. After traveling for an unknown distance, the river became wider and wider, and mist gradually appeared.
The building boat had just entered the fog, and the giant beast pulling the boat was restless and slowed down gradually, as if there was something under the water that frightened it.
Feng Xiuyun wondered: "Why did this guy suddenly become so petty and unwilling to pull the boat?"
Hu Ling'er suddenly became nervous and whispered: "Master, I feel a breath approaching us, a very cold breath..."
At this moment, Qin Mu suddenly felt vaguely that something was watching him, and a fish and dragon jumped out from behind, opening his mouth and spitting out half of the Shaobao Sword.
Feng Xiuyun looked solemn and stepped in front of Qin Mu. Suddenly, bubbles appeared from the bottom of the water. There were more and more bubbles and more and more fog.
But other than that, there are no other differences.
Qin Mu calmed down, the river was too wide, and the white fog gradually thickened, making them confused about the direction. The little white fox used magic to control the demonic wind, but the demonic wind completely lost its effect and could not blow the fog at all.
Feng Xiuyun took out a fan and shook it. The fan suddenly became as tall as a person. The girl picked up the fan and fanned forward. Suddenly a strong wind blew, stronger than the evil wind, but she could not move the white mist at all.
The river slowly slid the boat downstairs, and the giant beast pulling the boat was already hidden under the boat, shivering and afraid to come out. The boat could only be carried forward by the flowing river water.
Feng Xiuyun was extremely nervous. At this moment, a song came from the water, gentle and soft, like a mother's song to soothe her baby to sleep, with only the tone and no lyrics.
Qin Mu was startled, and vaguely felt that the singing voice was somewhat familiar.
"I've heard this tune!"
He stood and looked down, and saw a woman in white clothes and long hair under the water, floating downstream with the building boat.
As the boat moved forward, the woman in the water followed it like a shadow, and the song seemed to come from the mouth of the woman in the water.
"I have really heard this song, but it was not this song that Granny Si used to sing when she put me to sleep..."
When Qin Mu heard the singing in the water, he felt a little warm and a little upset in his heart, as if some deeply buried memory was trying to escape from his mind.
He suddenly jumped out of the boat and landed on the water. Feng Xiuyun reached out to grab him, but failed to catch him. Hu Ling'er also jumped out. When he saw the woman in the water, he couldn't help but feel horrified and hurriedly followed him jumping up and down.
The little fox ran wildly across the water, creating ripples.
"Sir, please slow down! I'm afraid..."
The singing continued, and no matter how fast he walked, he still couldn't catch up with the woman in the water.
Qin Mu's heart became more and more chaotic, and he was about to return to the boat when he suddenly noticed the jade pendant on his chest floating slightly.
Qin Mu was stunned, stopped and looked at the face of the woman in the water.
The woman in the water also stopped. It seemed that it was not Qin Mu who was chasing her, but her.
Plop.
The young man from Canlao Village knelt on the water, stretched out his trembling palms, and wanted to touch the face of the woman in the water. Tears slipped from his eyes and fell on the calm river surface.
"Is it you? Was it you who sent me to the village for the disabled..."
