Views:

The Negative River Beast went all the way down the river, and after traveling seven or eight hundred miles, Qin Mu saw a village built next to a temple by the river. He was slightly taken aback. little girl.

Qin Mu immediately stopped the negative river beast along the river, leaving the white fox behind, and walked ashore by himself.

When he came to this village, he saw that the villagers here lived well and lived and worked in peace and contentment. A few old ladies were going to the temple to offer incense, and the offering was half a pig.

When Qin Mu came to the temple, the little girl jumped down and hid in the temple when she saw him.

"Wu Nu, I saw you, why do you hide from me?" Qin Mu laughed.

The little girl came out of the temple and said with a smile: "I'm not hiding from you, but I'm waiting for you to burn incense in the temple, and say things like Shi Zi was weak and weak since childhood, and then people will laugh at you!"

Qin Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and looked around, only to see that the temple was cleaned up, without any dust, only the incense burner in the courtyard was still burning with fragrance. He walked to the statue enshrined in the temple, and saw that the statue was a little girl, similar to Xian Qing'er transformed by Wu Nu.

Qin Mu turned to the back of the statue and found no bones, so he felt relieved, walked out of the temple, and asked curiously, "Why do you live here?"

Wu Nu proudly said: "I earn merits here! This village is protected by me, and the people in the village support me. I help them drive away the beasts, and occasionally move the river to help them water the rain. When there is too much rain, I help them disperse Dark clouds, help them create wind when there is no wind, and help them drive away wind when there is a storm. I used to run around, catch people and animals to eat, but was caught and suppressed by the old thief Bald. Now I am a Buddha in the temple. Ancestors, if someone makes offerings, there is still merit to be earned!"

Qin Mu smiled and said, "Didn't you go upstream? How did you get here?"

"That day I broke the ice dam with you, and I wandered around, but I met the monks from Xiaoleiyin Temple and fought with me. I couldn't beat them, so I ran away. Then I fled here and hid here In the temple, when bandits invaded, I ate them. When the people in the village saw me, they thought it was the gods in the temple, so they offered cattle and sheep, and offered incense to me. I accepted them. I feel a little embarrassed, so I do something for them.”

Wu Nu jumped onto the plaque again, shaking her feet and said, "They treated me better, and I became more and more embarrassed, so I stayed here."

Qin Mu laughed and said, "I don't intend to do good, but it is a good deed. You are going to become a Buddha." After finishing speaking, he turned and left.

Wu Nu watched him go away, and whispered: "I don't want to become a monk, what's the fun of being a vegetarian every day..."

Qin Mu returned to the back of the River Bearing Beast, and the giant green-backed beast slowly swam out of the shallow water area, gradually increasing its speed, and heading downstream. Qin Mu looked back at the ancient temple. The little girl in the temple was shaking her pigtails, accepting incense and offerings from the villagers.

The surging river is surging, and the waves are surging.

After arriving at the dock of Xianglong City, Qin Mu and Hu Ling'er landed and came to this city.

This city has already fallen into the hands of the Demon Sect, and even though Granny Si hasn't shown up as Fu Yundi these days, nothing happened here either. After all, Fu Yundi often practiced in closed doors.

Qin Mu came to the inn, called the innkeeper, and said, "Master Xiang, is there a way to avoid the mirror and enter the Yankang Kingdom?"

The innkeeper said: "There are two passes near Yankang State, one is Yanbian, and the other is Mishui. Both Yanbian Pass and Mishui Pass have a lot of soldiers, and there are sight glass hanging on the tower. Being photographed, or being shot, or being sent to the mine as a slave. It would be even more dangerous if you go over the mountain. Daxu and Yankang are connected by the Shenduan Mountain Range. The Shenduan Mountain Range is extremely steep and terrifying. Asuka It is difficult to cross, Yankang Kingdom ambushed the Xuanji Crossbow on these mountains in order to guard against the mobs of the Great Ruins, if you want to cross the mountain, you will only be shot and killed by the Xuanji Crossbow."

Qin Mu frowned and said, "Could it be that there is no way to enter Yankang Kingdom?"

The innkeeper said with a smile: "No one else has, but our holy religion has a lot of solutions. Before the trade, our holy religion secretly destroyed two Xuanji crossbows on the Shenduan mountain range in order to smuggle goods. , and then enter Daxu. Now that Daxu and Yankang are in business, this road is abandoned, because it is easier to enter Yankang. If you want to enter Yankang, you can go through Mishui Pass. Many of the guards of Mishui Pass are People of our holy religion."

Qin Mu's expression moved slightly, the power of the Tianmo Cult is really too huge, it deserves to be the number one sect in the Dao of Demons!

He thought for a while and said, "You go and prepare the geographical map of Yankang. I'll take a look on the road and get acquainted with the mountains and rivers of Yankang first."

"yes."

The innkeeper withdrew, Qin Mu and Hu Ling'er had dinner, took a bath and went to bed.

The next day, the innkeeper brought back thick documents, including a geographical map of the entire Yankang country and a detailed map of counties. Qin Mu put these geographic maps in his bag and said, "Who will take me to Mishui Pass?"

The innkeeper said with a smile: "Young master, don't worry. The food has been prepared, and I invite you to eat. When you arrive at the riverside, there will naturally be brothers from the Holy Cult to guide you."

After breakfast, Qin Mu and Hu Ling'er came to Yongjiang, where they saw a large boat docked on the shore, and a young girl in green clothes stood on the boat, paying respects politely, and said softly: "I have seen you before me. Please Young master move."

"You don't have to be polite."

Qin Mu took Hu Ling'er on board, and said to the girl in Tsing Yi, "Sister, can you take me into the city without hiding it from the mirror?"

The girl in Tsing Yi smiled and said: "I can't hide from the mirror. However, I am Feng Xiuyun from Qianhu of Mishui Pass, who is responsible for checking the people entering and exiting the city gate. Naturally, I can bring the young master into the city, and I can also take the young master out of the city."

Qin Mu was very surprised. The girl looked young, but she had already become a thousand household guarding the border. He immediately said, "Sister Laofeng."

Under the boat, a giant beast surfaced and went down the river. I don't know how far I went, the river became wider and wider, and fog gradually appeared.

Just as the building boat entered the mist, the monster pulling the boat was restless, and its speed gradually slowed down, as if there was something frightening at the bottom of the water.

Feng Xiuyun wondered: "Why is this guy suddenly acting petty and unwilling to pull the boat?"

Hu Ling'er also suddenly became nervous, and said in a low voice: "My lord, I feel a breath approaching us, a very cold breath..."

At this moment, Qin Mu suddenly vaguely felt that something was watching him, and a fish dragon jumped out from behind, and opened his mouth to spit out half of the Shaobao sword.

Feng Xiuyun's face was serious, and she stepped in front of Qin Mu, when suddenly bubbles appeared from the bottom of the water, more and more bubbles, and more and more fog.

But other than that, there is no other difference.

Qin Mu regained his composure. The river was too wide, and the white mist gradually increased, making them confused. The little white fox cast a spell to control the evil wind, but the evil wind also completely lost its effect, and could not blow the mist at all.

Feng Xiuyun took out a fan and shook the fan, the fan suddenly became as tall as a person, the girl swung the fan and fanned it forward, the wind suddenly blew up, even stronger than the demon wind, but she couldn't fan the white mist a bit.

The river slowly led the boat down the stairs. The giant beast pulling the boat was already hidden at the bottom of the boat, trembling and afraid to come out, so the flowing river water could only lead the boat forward.

Feng Xiuyun was extremely nervous. At this moment, there was a singing voice in the water, which was soft and gentle, like a song for a mother to comfort a baby to sleep, with only the tone and no lyrics.

Qin Mu was taken aback for a while, feeling that the singing sound was somewhat familiar.

"I've heard this song before!"

He stood and looked down, and saw a woman in white with long hair underwater, floating downstream with the boat.

As the boat moved forward, the woman in the water followed her like a shadow, and the singing sound seemed to come from the woman in the water.

"I've really heard this song, but it wasn't this song that Granny Si sang when she put me to sleep..."

When Qin Mu heard the singing in the water, he felt kind and disturbed in his heart, as if some deeply buried memory was about to come out of his mind.

He suddenly jumped out of the tall boat and landed on the water, Feng Xiuyun stretched out his hand to grab him, but Hu Ling'er also jumped out, and when he saw the woman in the water, he couldn't help being terrified, and hurriedly followed him, jumping up and down, The little fox galloped across the water, creating ripples.

"Master, slow down! I'm afraid..."

The singing continued, no matter how fast he walked or couldn't catch up with the woman in the water.

Qin Mu was getting more and more confused, and was about to return to the boat when suddenly he felt the jade pendant on his chest fluttering 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 she was chasing Qin Mu.

poof.

The young man from Disabled Old Village knelt on the water, stretched out his trembling palms, trying to touch the face of the woman in the water, tears slipped from his eyes and dripped onto the calm river.

"Is it you? Are you the one who sent me to the disabled village..."
