Chapter 108: River God
In the Baisha River, Zhang Qian and Ganfu sailed downstream in a boat, only to see the sail sailing with the wind, riding the wind and waves.
They sailed, and Li Maicheng and Zhou Xiaotian flew above the river, and gradually the river became more and more turbulent, Zhang Qian sat on the boat and staggered a little, and some of the horses were so frightened that they chirped, and some were so frightened that they jumped into the water.
It's just that the river is getting more and more turbulent, and the boatman Zhou Tiesheng shouted: "Brothers, sit down, this river is a little turbulent, be careful of falling into the water." ”
Zhang Qian replied: "Okay, thank you for the reminder." ”
They were bobbing back and forth in that boat, afloat, when suddenly a huge whirlpool appeared in front of them.
Seeing this, Zhou Tiesheng, the boatman, shouted: "Everyone be careful, there is a water demon in the whirlpool ahead." ”
When the koi monster heard this, he immediately said to Su Chengxuan: "Chengxuan, we are good at water, listen to the boatman, there is a water demon in the whirlpool ahead, let's jump down and take a look." ”
After Su Chengxuan heard this, he nodded and said, "Okay, Senior Brother Koi." ”
Then Su Chengxuan and the koi monster jumped into the whirlpool with weapons, only to see that the whirlpool had a great suction force, and directly sucked Su Chengxuan and the koi monster to the bottom of the river, and they saw a water snake at the bottom of the river that was seven meters long, the water snake's eyes were as bright as lanterns, and the mouth was full of long tongues, looking at Su Chengxuan and the koi monster fiercely.
Seeing this, Su Chengxuan and the koi immediately rushed over with their weapons and slashed the big water snake.
It's just that the water snake is very powerful, and it directly flapped its tail and directly slapped Su Chengxuan and the koi monster into the deeper bottom of the river.
It's just that the bottom of the river is really overgrown with aquatic weeds, and Su Chengxuan and the koi monster are tightly entangled in the aquatic plants, and then the two crab soldiers and shrimp riding the fish will throw out the black iron chain and directly tie up Su Chengxuan and the koi monster.
Su Chengxuan and the others tried their best to break free, but the black iron chain was too strong, and they couldn't break free at all, and then they were arrested and locked up in the Water Snake Palace at the bottom of the river.
And the big water snake continued to cast a spell to suck the whirlpool, and the two boats on the river gradually sailed into the whirlpool, and were immediately sucked upside down, and those mission soldiers, as well as Zhang Qian and Gan Fu, were all swept into the whirlpool.
Li Maicheng, who was flying on the river, was shocked when he saw this scene, and shouted: "Senior brothers and sisters, quickly enter the water and save Master." ”
Then Li Maicheng and Zhou Xiaotian jumped into the water one by one, saving the soldiers of the mission who fell into the water one by one, while the boatmen Zhou Tiesheng and Zhou Mobai had good water nature, they were swimming in the water, and they also saved the soldiers of the mission.
At this time, the big water snake at the bottom of the river jumped into the air, swam out of the water, and bit Zhou Tiesheng, Li Maicheng saw this, and then flew over to kill the big water snake, the big water snake swung its body, and then drilled into the river, and by the way, Zhang Qian was also entangled in the water snake palace at the bottom of the river.
When Li Maicheng saw that the water snake had disappeared like this, he immediately flew quickly, picked up the soldiers of the mission, and pulled them ashore one by one.
The giant ape monster was also swimming in the water, and the two boatmen were saving the soldiers of the mission in the water, and gradually, all the soldiers of the mission were rescued ashore.
On the other side, Wu Shitong lit a fire, and the soldiers of the mission shivered and roasted the fire around the bonfire.
And now the sky is getting darker, and the afterglow of the setting sun is so red on the surface of the river.
Li Maicheng looked at the sunset and said: "Brothers, our Zhang Qian Han envoy, as well as Senior Brother Koi and Senior Brother Chengxuan have all been captured by the water snake demon, if we go to save it now, the underwater darkness."
It's not a good time, let's sleep by this river for one night, and then go into the water tomorrow morning to save my master and disciples. ”
At this time, Wu Shitong said: "Senior brother, okay, then let's eat some dry food now, and sleep on this shore in a while." ”
Li Maicheng said: "Okay, Senior Brother Giant Ape is in charge of guarding tonight, everyone else should sleep, Senior Brother Giant Ape, remember to wake me up whenever there is movement." ”
The giant ape monster nodded and said, "Okay, senior brother, you can all rest assured." ”
At this time, the boatman Chen Tiesheng said: "Maicheng, why don't we go to Chensha Town to rest together." ”
Li Maicheng replied: "Uncle Tie Sheng, forget it, it's a little far away, so I won't go, just one night." ”
Chen Tiesheng replied, "Okay then. ”
Then Li Maicheng and the others ate dry food and drank water around the bonfire, and after eating their fill, they fell asleep one by one, while the giant ape monster was awake and guarded with the dragon sword.
At night, the sky was full of stars, and the river was filled with the sounds of birds and frogs.
From time to time, there were fireflies fluttering in the woods on the shore, and the great ape monster looked at those flying fireflies with a lot of thoughts, and he thought of the years he had lived on the snowy mountains.
He still remembers that Naqi Snow Mountain is covered with snow all year round, and there is still a Tianshan Snow Lotus on the top of the mountain, and he still remembers that he and his wife lived a free life in Naqi Snow Mountain at that time.
He was thinking about it, when a black shadow suddenly jumped out of the water, and the giant ape monster saw the black shadow, and was startled, and then picked up the dragon sword and prepared to wait for the black shadow to come slowly.
The black shadow was getting closer and closer, and the giant ape monster was in the moonlight, and when he looked closely, he realized that it was the river god.
Seeing this, the giant ape monster whispered, "River God, what are you doing here?"
The river god said, "Donor, I see that the boat you are on has capsized, and I came to see if you are injured?"
The giant ape monster replied: "River God, my master Zhang Qian was captured, there was a big water snake in the river, and my other two senior brothers, Koi and Su Chengxuan, were captured by the big water snake. ”
The river god stroked his beard and said, "Donor, then I can help you, I have good water quality, and my old bones can fight with the big water snake." ”
The giant ape monster replied, "River God, then you can stay, and tomorrow morning, we will attack the underwater water snake palace and capture my master and brothers." ”
The river god replied, "Well, I'll sleep on this shore for the night." ”
The great ape replied, "Okay." ”
Then the river god found a bush on the bank and fell asleep, while the great ape monster continued to stand guard, yawning and looking around, always on the lookout.
After a night like this, the sky gradually brightened, and Li Maicheng gradually woke up, and when he woke up, he saw that the giant ape monster was dozing off with exhaustion, so he didn't disturb him.
Li Maicheng immediately got up and went to the Baisha River to wash his face, and when he passed by the grass, he accidentally bumped into a person, and he took a closer look at it and turned out to be a white-bearded old man.
At this time, the river god woke up in a daze, he looked at Li Maicheng, and then said: "Donor, I am the river god of this Baisha River, and I am fortunate to meet you." ”
Li Maicheng heard this and said: "In the next Li Maicheng, I will be fortunate to meet." ”
The river god said: "Maicheng, I heard from the giant ape that you are in trouble. ”
Li Maicheng replied: "Yes, I'll go wash my face, and we'll have breakfast and talk in detail later." ”
The river god replied, "Yes, Maicheng." ”
Then Li Maicheng came to the Baisha River, picked up the clear water, and washed his face. He was washing, when Bai Ruoxue also came.
Li Maicheng said: "Ruoxue, did you sleep well last night?"
Bai Ruoxue replied: "Maicheng, it's okay." What about you?"
Li Maicheng replied: "Ruoxue, I slept soundly, I dreamed of you last night, I dreamed that I returned to Chang'an City with you, and then we went up to Zhongnan Mountain together, and I also met my master Cangye Daoren there." We danced and chanted poems together in Nazhong Nanshan, but we were happy. ”
Bai Ruoxue washed her face and said, "Maicheng, do you remember the poems we chanted?"
Li Maicheng scratched his head, thought for a while and said, "Ruoxue, I remembered, I'll give you that poem." ”
Bai Ruoxue replied: "Okay, Maicheng, I'll listen." ”
Then Li Maicheng sang: ""Demon Suppression", Hancheng's autumn rain dream lingers, and Bixin's flower language breaks his heart. However, the swordsman looked at Chang'an, and the Western Regions subdued demons and built extraordinary. ”
Bai Ruoxue heard this praise and said: "Maicheng, you are so powerful, you can chant poetry in your dreams, and you are so good." ”
Li Maicheng replied: "Ruoxue, you have been listening to me chant so many poems, you should also have one." ”
Bai Ruoxue immediately excused herself and said: "Maicheng, don't do it, I can't, I can't chant poetry." ”
Li Maicheng said: "Ruoxue, let's have a song, it's okay, don't be nervous." ”
When Bai Ruoxue heard this, she immediately said, "Okay, then I'll think about it." ”
Then Bai Ruoxue thought for a while and sang: "Sword Shadow,
The new rain on the riverside is strong in autumn, and the cold wind is purple and red. Autumn maple plays butterflies and hidden flowers, and the swordsman of the end of the world slashes the flying dragon. ”
When Li Maicheng heard this, he immediately praised happily: "Ruoxue, you are too powerful, too meaningful, and your poems are very good." ”
Bai Ruoxue blushed and said: "My poems are so-so, you are still amazing, I often listen to your poems, I have heard some of them." ”
Li Maicheng said happily: "Ruoxue, it's good, I will have you to accompany me to chant poetry in the future." ”
Bai Ruoxue said with a smile: "Okay, Maicheng, okay, let's not talk about it, let's go to dinner." Are the soldiers of the mission waiting for us?"
Li Maicheng nodded and said, "Okay, Ruoxue." ”
Then Li Maicheng and Bai Ruoxue left the bank of the river together, returned to the place where they slept last night, and ate dry food with Zhou Xiaotian and the river god in front of the bonfire.
Li Maicheng said while eating dry food: "Brothers, for a while, the giant ape and Xiqing will stay on the shore to protect the soldiers of the mission, and I, Xiaotian, Ruoxue, Shitong and the river god, we will jump into the river together to save the master and the junior brothers." ”
The great ape replied, "Yes, senior brother. ”
At this time, Zhou Tiesheng, the boatman, said: "Maicheng, what are I and my son Zhou Mobai going to do?"
Li Maicheng replied: "Tie Sheng, Mo Bai, you better go back to Chensha Town, it's dangerous here, I don't want to affect the two of you." ”
Zhou Tiesheng thought for a while and said: "Okay, then my son and I will go back to Chensha Town first, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come to Chensha Town to find me." ”
Li Maicheng replied, "Okay, boatman. ”
Then the boatman took his leave and went back to Chensha Town along the riverbank.
And Li Maicheng and Zhou Xiaotian were still roasting on the shore and eating dry food.
