There is no result in this small county, I can only think about it and look for it elsewhere. After making a full circle in the county seat, I left immediately and continued south from the county seat.
There are few towns on the river beach. Walking out of this county seat, there is a deserted wilderness not far away. You can't see a single person, and there is no place to find someone to inquire, so you can only find it slowly by yourself.
I wandered back and forth in the south of the county seat for two more days. I found all the places I could find, but found nothing. I was not discouraged, but I had a hunch that it might be really difficult to find Xiao Wuyue this time, as Banhu said.
After searching for at least half a month, I couldn't find Xiao Wuyue, but while traveling around, I heard many people talking about Lu Xuan Dao.
This is a very strange thing. Lu Xuandao became famous a hundred years ago. At that time, it was in the Qing Dynasty. When he died, it was decades away from now. Except for some inherited families, many people have forgotten it. There used to be such a person in the arena.
It happened to be such a forgotten person, who was suddenly talked about in secret by many people. The content of the discussion was nothing more than the treasures left by Lu Xuandao and the Xuandao Sutra.
When I inquired about the news, I felt that this incident was not for no reason. It had been silent for so many years, and it was turned over by someone, and it must have been passed on by someone who knew the inside story. At that time, the pony who wanted to steal the Lu Xuan Dao and bury the bones, and his accomplices all escaped. I guess that these two people will not be idle. As long as one of them leaks the news, they will grow wings. Spread everywhere.
The treasures left by Lu Xuandao are coveted, but compared with the treasures of the Huangquan Corpse Scavengers and Tutian, his treasures are only a drop in the bucket. The most important thing is the Xuandao Sutra. People in the rivers and lakes love money, but many people are more clear about their thinking. Without strength, they can't protect them even if they grab the treasure. Therefore, hard fist is the truth.
If this Profound Dao Scripture is really born, it will inevitably be looted.
But I feel that most of the news this time is based on misrepresentation. The buried ground of Lu Xuandao was excavated by our own hands. There was nothing in it except an iron coffin and Lu Xuandao's remains.
I am not interested in any Profound Dao Sutra at all. However, Lu Xuan Dao’s remnant thoughts are attached to Xiao Wuyue. I don’t know if so many people are talking about Lu Xuan Dao, will they have anything to Xiao Wuyue? Influence.
I feel that time is very tight, and I must look for it as soon as possible, so as to avoid long nights and dreams, and the current situation is messy enough, if Xiao Wuyue is involved in this matter again, it will be even more impossible to deal with it.
After another two days, the places I was looking for were all from the future. I was not familiar with the place in my life. I had to find a way to inquire with others for a period of time.
That morning, after walking for more than ten miles, I didn't meet anyone. At this time, I saw a ferry from a distance. Because there are no people and no villages and towns far away, the ferry has become a gathering place for north and south, with at least a dozen boats parked and people carrying goods there.
I was worried that I had nowhere to inquire about the news, and when I saw the ferry, I speeded up and walked over.
This is already the southernmost part of the river beach. The big river flows eastward here. I haven't been here before, and I don’t know any people, so I got the courage to get to the ferry and sit down at a stall selling miscellaneous noodles. Come down and order something to eat.
After eating, I want to talk to the boss, but the business is too good, the boss is alone, so busy. I be patient and plan to wait until all the guests have left, and then ask more questions when the boss is free.
"Boatman! Come here, come here!"
I was eating, and four or five people came out from somewhere and called a boat at the ferry. The boatman stood on the bow and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Tongshan, hurry, hurry!"
A few people were in a hurry to get on the boat. Who knew that the boatman stretched out his hand and said, "Brothers, let’s talk about it first. Let’s go to other places and calculate by the distance. Each person is ten miles away and there is a copper, but we will go to Tongshan. No bargaining, five coppers per person."
"You are crazy about money, Tongshan Road is not too far, and the road is calm, the asking price is so high?"
"Several people, the boat going to Tongshan at the ferry is at this price. You are too expensive, so look for another boat." The boat owner didn't persuade them, and sat on the bow again, saying, "There is still a boat here. , You can ask again."
"Now I go to Tongshan, it's the price, let alone our dark heart, everyone is the same, looking for another boat, it is still the same price." Another boater not far away lay lazily on the boat and said: "It's all. If you’re walking outside, don’t feel bad about your money when you go out."
"It's light! It wasn't at this price in the past, what's the matter, it's a bully looking at us!?"
"Forget it." Someone stopped his companion and said to the boatman: "Just set the boat at the price you said."
Several people got on the boat, the boat owner took the boat and left the ferry.
Not long after this boat left, a few more people came and they were also going to Tongshan. It is estimated that they are all people who often take the boat. I heard another boatman say that the boat cost to Tongshan is more expensive than going to other places. I couldn't help but asked a few words.
However, these people were not too long-winded, no matter how much the price was, they just got on the boat.
"These people really make money." The owner of the stall was busy for a long time, and finally served meals to the guests. He sat next to him and took out his dry pipes to smoke.
"Go to that copper mountain, why is the boat expensive?"
"Usually going to Tongshan does not require that much. One copper is enough for each guest. It's just that there are more people going to Tongshan these days. Who doesn't want to take advantage of this opportunity to make more money?" The boss laughed Hehe smoking a cigarette, and said: "Anyway, I want a copper. People have to take a boat, and five. People still have to sit. If you don't make money, you don't make money."
I chatted with the boss in this way. The two groups of people who were on the boat just now don’t need to look at it to know that they are walking the rivers and lakes. Although they changed the clothes of ordinary people, the boatman couldn’t tell, but they couldn’t hide it from me.
I asked my boss what is the place of Copper Mountain. The boss told me that Copper Mountain is a place name in the southeast of the ferry. It is said that there was a copper mine over there long ago, so it was named Copper Mountain. Later, Tongshan's copper mines were exhausted and gradually declined. Now, it is a little-known place.
"Tongshan is rich in watermelons. Every year when the watermelons are ripe, some people go there to buy melons and transport them to the north to sell them. But now that the watermelon matures are not in season, those people don’t know that they will go to Tongshan. What to do."
The boss was talking. In the corner of the stall, two people ate and drank enough to let the boss settle the accounts. When the accounts were settled, the two men also went to the river and shouted a boat.
Ask the boatman to go to Copper Mountain.
"The money for the boat to Tongshan..."
"It's long-winded." One of them waved his hand impatiently and said, "You are indispensable to a big man."
The boatman smiled and nodded, let the two people board the boat, and then left the ferry.
Just for a while, the three groups rushed to the Copper Mountain. I have to say that there must be some reason for this. It's just that the owner of the stall doesn't know what these people are going to do in Tongshan.
Moreover, the boss also told me that there is nothing unusual about Tongshan during this period, because it is not too far away, so if there is any weird thing, it will definitely reach the ferry.
As a result, I was at a loss and couldn't understand what was going on. I would like to find someone to inquire about it, but it is estimated that I will not say anything about it after asking them, and it will cause suspicion.
I always want to try my luck again and see if I can ask anything. After lunch time, most of the people at the ferry are gone. I was thinking about who I should talk to. In the mess of straw behind the stall, there was a rustling noise, and then I sat up alone.
This man is about forty years old and has a stubborn beard. When he sat up, he was still drunk. He rubbed his eyes and developed hysteria for a while. Then he stood up lazily and sat awkwardly. Go to a table in the stall.
"Wake up?" The boss guessed that he knew each other, brought a bowl of hot noodle soup, put it on the table, and said: "Drink noodle soup to nourish your stomach."
"What kind of stomach can this thing support?" The middle-aged man pushed the noodle soup aside, and said, "Just like yesterday, I just rectify two small dishes. If it is too late, I will bring a bowl of white water and bring the wine jar."
"You are really a wine fairy." The boss gave a wry smile, and said: "For thirty days a month, you can drink for thirty days without a day."
"Wine is the essence of hundred grains, and it can support people the most. If you don't drink, you don't understand it after telling you, so hurry up and get a bar."
The boss moved a wine jar and made some snacks at will. This middle-aged man, known as Jiu Xian, didn't choose any dishes. After the wine jar moved over, he immediately couldn't wait to pour a bowl first, and drank it.
"Aren't you still doing something? Drink it like this every day and stop doing errands?"
"The people are busy coming and going, all heading towards Tongshan, I'm not in a hurry." Jiu Xian poured another bowl, this time he began to taste slowly: "Wait until they are gone."
As soon as I heard the words of this Jiu Xian and mentioned Tongshan, I immediately fell in love.
"This jar is Qiu Lubai, isn't it?" I sniffed and said, "Qiu Lubai is a famous Shandong brew. It's a pity. When this jar is brewed, less dew is added, and more spring water is added. Chong Jin'er couldn't kill it clean, and it was always not so clean and mellow when it tasted."
"Expert!" After hearing what I said, the drunken eyes suddenly lit up, and he slapped the table, and said: "The boss is greedy for cheap, and he didn't buy the best when he bought the wine. It's a fly in the ointment. I didn't expect to meet experts in this place where the birds don't shit. I can tell that the spirit of the wine is not clean when I smell it. I admire and admire it!"
"I just said it casually, don't be surprised if I said it right or wrong."
"Everything is good, come here, brother, I think you are also a wine lover, come and have a drink together."
