After leaving the city, Chen Qingniu and his party continued to go south, although there were such changes in Xucheng, but the scenery along the way, Chen Qingniu still did not fall.

Everyone in the entourage could see that it was just a day, and the young man's eyes were much deeper.

However, except for the old rivers and lakes like Huang Fu and Lin Muzhi, they didn't ask more about what happened in the outside world when they were imprisoned in the Zhao family for half a day, Lu Buwei wanted to ask, Jin Yue'er was not allowed, one was strict with his sister, and the other only had Ruyilang in his eyes, and it was not boring along the way.

During the journey, Chen Qingniu was still mostly meditating and practicing, but he was just pausing to recuperate, but he was not alone in the carriage with Jin Yue'er like before, and told him some emotional experiences.

Now Jin Yue'er is the most mysterious spiritual cultivator among the four realms of cultivation in the world, and he can't help the other party at all.

Even so, Chen Qingniu was not discouraged at all, but was happy for Jin Yue'er while saving his body.

In the battle of Xu Cheng, Chen Qingniu learned a lot, some of which were good and naturally had shortcomings.

Now, he put aside the powerful supernatural powers given by the four mysterious copper tattoos of the Imperial Spirit, the Soul Control, the Wandering Spirit, and the Soul Devouring Spirit, as a cultivator, he now has the cultivation of the Qi Induction Realm, but he still doesn't know the slightest spell.

The only means of killing is still the martial arts used to display dark power, which inevitably makes him feel a little lost in his heart, and also gives him a clearer understanding of his own situation.

The beast spirit power is indeed powerful, but there is no absolute power in the world, for example, when he is on the covered bridge, those armor-piercing arrows can directly block his connection with the copper space, if he is not able to use his vitality to exert the spirit power that only has its form but not its spirit, if it is not for the dozens of yuan stones in his storage bag that can supply him with a steady stream of spiritual energy to be transformed and refined, then he has no other means of a monk, I am afraid that he would have already ended up with the Xu family brothers.

When he was trapped, he had seen the Xu family brothers condense a rock shield to resist the attack of the armor-piercing arrow, and before, he had seen the two of them cast a spell at the same time to condense the ten-zhang fire snake, as well as the ice cage that Zhao Yu'an, the ancestor of the Zhao family, casually punched, these unpredictable and unpredictable monk methods, in terms of Chen Qingniu's curiosity as a traverser, he was actually envious.

In the same way, he also needs these, and a Xu Cheng almost made him planted, armor-piercing arrows, and formations...... If he arrived in a place like Cangbei Mansion City, what mysterious things in the cultivation world would be waiting for him?

These are unimaginable to Chen Qingniu, who has just stepped into the cultivation process.

The spell is only not recorded in the Taishang Qi Feeling Chapter of the Qi Refining Method, so he has to find it by himself, and if he is in a hurry, he can only ask for it, and he is so entangled that it is better to fight the only one of the nine styles of the mountain a few more times.

Moreover, after only fighting with Xu Shiwu in hand-to-hand combat with the nine styles of jumping mountain, after the first real fight of this boxing technique, Chen Qingniu also had a lot of insights.

This set of boxing skills is very strong!

Even if it is used to exert a dark force that can only exert fifty percent of its power, it can still beat a mid-congenital martial artist to death, and this is obviously the fundamental reason why Chen Qingniu gave up the sweet two-person world with Jin Yue'er and devoted himself to the cultivation of boxing skills.

The carriage, the bonfire, Huang Fu and other three old rivers and lakes formed a pile of their own, sitting around the bonfire and guarding their belongings, and there was not a word saying about some things about the rivers and lakes.

Not far away, the three young people were fighting with each other, the sword shadow and the fist wind hunting, and Jin Yue'er was quietly guarding on the side, which was also a rare scenery.

Walking, stopping.

When you meet people, you will enter the city, and you will stay in the town at night, but most of the time for more than ten days, everyone still sleeps in the wilderness.

However, the speed of the spread of the news in the rivers and lakes seemed to be a little beyond Chen Qingniu's expectations, when everyone passed through a small city called Broken Rock, the magistrate of the city and several major gangs personally waited in front of the city gate to greet everyone, but Chen Qingniu returned the word, and then continued to set off, with the government opening the way, and the local gang secretly escorted, and it only took less than an hour to enter the city.

Besides, when passing through a mountain forest, there are bold bandits robbing the road, and the original owner also has a pair of trees that I planted this road and I opened, even if it was the tough attitude of the emperor Lao Tzu who had to pluck a few hairs from his body from here, but when he saw Chen Qingniu, he took out a portrait and compared, and hurriedly ran away without a shadow, and even the property and goods that were originally robbed were handed over, and his life was important.

Five or six hundred miles along the way, there are no less than ten such things, everyone is in the clouds, only guessing that this may be related to the half day they were trapped, only Chen Qingniu knows, these, presumably the Zhao family did.

It's just that Chen Qingniu obviously only guessed half right, these are actually the means of Zhao Zhihai, the lord of Xucheng today.

Xucheng is different from ordinary cities, there is neither an official government nor a yamen, and the only force recognized by the imperial court is naturally the position of the city lord, of course, this so-called imperial recognition naturally contains a certain amount of water.

Xu Cheng, in the final analysis, is just like the Anqing County of the mountain high emperor far away from the remote place, and not a border city, just imagine, but the Cao family brothers who have cultivated in a realm can pretend to be Anqing Zhi County for several years and no one has found it, this Xu Cheng City Lord's position has always been in the feng shui rotation, the reason for this, you can know it when you think about it.

Now the original three families of Xu Cheng, the three brothers of the Xu family have all died, the so-called Xu family is naturally in name only, followed by the Gongsun family, after the death of the ancestor Gongsun Qiu, there are two remaining mid-congenital martial artists, two of them have just entered the innate realm, to say that it is the Zhao family that has only one Qi Realm monk Zhao Zhihai has been steadily suppressed, but there is no way, the Yinxuanwei Gu who governs Xu Cheng is a monk.

I heard that this Lord Gu has recently been obsessed with the Zhao family's way of formation, and has lived in the Zhao family for a long time, although his Gongsun family has the strength of many people, but after all, they are not the Jianghu family, but they do not have the ability to go against the will of the imperial court Yin Xuanwei, and they finally waited for such a God-given opportunity, and only had a stomach full of bitter water and could only let it sway in their stomachs.

However, in fact, even without the existence of Gu Chang'an, the Gongsun family is still a little afraid, although reliable sources say that the ancestor of the Zhao family was hit by an armor-piercing arrow, and now the head of the Zhao family has also become Zhao Zhihai, but whether the ancestor of the Zhao family is alive or dead, is still a fog, just like the dense fog on the island in the middle of the lake of the Zhao family, since the blood wolf Chen Qingniu stepped out of the Zhao family, it has endured for a long time.

Chen Qingniu didn't know these things, at this moment, after a fight, the three of them were already sweating profusely, fortunately, there was a small river several zhang wide next to the official road, although it was night, with the bonfire on the bank of the river sparkling, Chen Qingniu proposed, the three of them agreed slightly, and they were planted into the river at the same time.

When Jin Yue'er saw this scene, she couldn't help but be happy, of course, she was still looking at the young man.

Along the way, the two of them were sitting in the carriage most of the time, in the past, Chen Qingniu would talk to him about some things to pay attention to in practice, and since the last time Chen Qingniu learned that she was a spiritual cultivator, the two of them spoke a lot less, not that their feelings were weakened, but that Jin Yue'er, as a woman, could clearly feel that the young man's back sank by two points.

Rejoicing?

Jin Yue'er is naturally happy in her heart, since she met Chen Qingniu, the experience of just a few months has been more exciting than her previous life of more than ten years, and being by this teenager's side, it seems that there is never a shortage of unexpected experiences, like a dream, she likes it very much.

With a faint smile on his face, looking at the three people in the river, since leaving Anqing County, Chen Qingniu has been thinking heavily, although every time he passes a place with excellent scenery, Chen Qingniu will let Fu Bo stop the carriage and stop for a short time, but others can't see it, but Jin Yue'er can understand that those great scenery still can't disperse the young man's depressed mood.

These days, Chen Qingniu began to practice boxing again, and today, he took the initiative to go down to the river with Lu Lin and the two to swim, and returned to the carriage to practice after hurriedly scrubbing after practicing boxing.

The three people in the river are still soaking in the water, all three of them are young people, so naturally they have to have some play, and there are bursts of splash in the water from time to time, and the three of them are laughing and talking.

However, such a time obviously did not last long, Jin Yue'er suddenly heard Lu Buwei call "Green Bull", this voice was sharp and high-pitched with a little anxiety, obviously not a sound that could be made when playing.

Jin Yue'er hurriedly stood up, and was about to shout and ask, when she heard her brother Lu Buwei call "Muzhi", her heart tightened, obviously something happened.

Jin Yue'er hurriedly shouted anxiously at the faint surface of the river under the dark red moon curtain and the bonfire: "Brother, what happened? Brother, what's wrong with you?"

There was a splashing sound in the river, and a figure was swimming quickly towards this side, Lu Buwei shouted in a panic while swimming: "Little sister, you hurry up and go farther, this river is strange, Qingniu and Muzhi have ......"

"Gollum!"

What's wrong, Lu Buwei didn't finish talking about his swimming posture and turned into a struggle, and after choking a few mouthfuls of water in succession, he sank into the river.

"Brother, what's wrong with you, brother......"

Jin Yue'er hurriedly called, but there was no one in the river, and the only thing that responded to her was the sparkling surface of the river and the trickling sound from time to time on the bank, and nothing else.

She could see that her brother Lu Buwei was obviously forcibly pulled into the river by some force, but as a congenital realm martial artist, Lu Buwei's physique had already surpassed ordinary people, what kind of power and what could pull an innate martial artist into the river?

Moreover, there is also a bull who can instantly exert a powerful beast spiritual power, and he disappeared without the slightest struggle, what is strange about this river.

No matter what is weird, Jin Yue'er obviously has no time to think about it, whether it is Lu Buwei or Lin Muzhi, he will not let it go, of course, let alone Chen Qingniu.

After calming down a little, Jin Yue'er was about to plunge into the river, wanting to rescue a few people.

But at this moment, an old hand suddenly stretched out from behind it, grabbed it, and hurriedly persuaded: "Second Miss, don't do it." ”

The one who spoke was Zhu Yanzhang, one of the three elders of Feiyan Sword Village, who was already full of anxiety and stunned at the moment, and the other two were also very ugly, obviously, the three of them were alarmed by the movement here.

Jin Yue'er looked at the three of them who obviously knew something, and her face was even more ugly: "Uncle Zhang, Uncle Fu, Uncle Yan, do you know what happened to my brother and Ah Niu?

"This River ......"

At the mention of this river, the faces of the three of them all looked a little hesitant, because the involvement was too extensive, and they didn't know where to start explaining.

Only Huang Fu reluctantly explained from the beginning: "Second Miss, this river, called Shenshui River, stretches for hundreds of miles, and is one of the three major Xuanhe rivers of our Daxuan Dynasty, and its source is located somewhere in our Cangbei Mansion, but it has not been explored so far, and the place where the downstream converges is the only big river in our Daxuan Dynasty, the Xuanming River. ”

Jin Yue'er said coldly: "Fu Bo, you know that I don't want to hear this now, my brother, Ah Niu and Brother Lin have all sunk into the river, I want to know what is strange about this river, and how can I save them." ”

Save them?

The three of them didn't say anything, but they already sighed in their hearts, this matter was too sudden and unexpected for them.

Originally, the three of them planned to travel dozens of miles tomorrow, and then introduce the river to these young people when they could see the rolling river dozens of zhang wide on the bridge, but where they thought that Chen Qingniu, who would only scrub on the bank, would go down into the water tonight......

"Second Miss, this sinking river can be ranked as one of the three major Xuan rivers of our Great Xuan Dynasty, naturally there is its mysterious and strange place, that is, the water in this river seems to flow, but it is actually sinking, not only sinking, even if ordinary ducks and geese and other waterfowl swim on the river, sometimes they will be pulled into the river by that heavy force, so wherever there are frequent people coming and going, they all build bridges to cross, and no one dares to cross the river by boat, let alone go down the river......" Huang Fu explained again, his eyes were full of self-blame and sadness, although the three of them were just grooms, but they also had the duty of guiding and escorting the way, and now Chen Qingniu and the three of them sank into this sinking river and did not know life and death, and they also had something to do with it.

"Yes, Second Miss, if you want to save the young master, I'm afraid that only a few of us, even if we go down to the river, we can only ...... No, wait, it's not impossible. ”

Zhu Yanzhang, who had grabbed Jin Yue'er before, was also full of sadness, but he suddenly thought of something, and said with a little surprise in his eyes, "Second Miss, young master, they may be saved, let's go dozens of miles further, there is the waist of this sinking river, where there is a stone arch bridge about 100 zhang long, and at the other end of the bridge, there is a sinking river temple." ”

"When I was young, I traveled through here many times, whether it was on the rivers and lakes or folk rumors, the golden body of the river god in the temple is very psychic, if it is sunk for no more than three days, people close to the river temple to burn incense and worship, as long as the heart is sincere, within half an hour, whether it is a person or something else that sinks into the river, it will emerge from the shore, and it will be safe. ”

"Uncle Zhang!"

Jin Yue'er snorted, already a little angry: "It's all this time, you still tell me these supernatural rumors, if Ah Niu has something, I will ...... it."

"Second Miss, in fact, this matter is not a rumor. ”

The man who had been silent on the side spoke out in a timely manner, and said very firmly: "Second Miss, I have seen this with my own eyes. ”

This time, not only Jin Yue'er, but even Huang Fu and Zhu Yanzhang, the two old men, looked at Hu Yan.

The two of them, although they have been walking the rivers and lakes for most of their lives, have rich experience, but the rumors about this sinking river are just hearsay at the beginning, and Hu Yan actually said that he saw it with his own eyes, and his expression was still very serious, which is a bit unbelievable.

Although the three of them are all the older generation of Feiyan Jianzhuang, and now they are all coachmen, but in ordinary times, this tall man in his early forties is very taciturn, and even if he talks to them, he rarely talks to them.

Facing the eyes of several people, Hu Yan, who had always been silent, had to speak truthfully one by one: "Actually, before I was displaced to Anqing County with my parents at home, I was a person here, but at that time I had not practiced martial arts, and I was only the age of Chen Gongzi, the village was only twenty miles away from the Shenshui River Temple, although the village did not dare to make a living from fishing, but it was close to the Shenshui River, and the people in the village would form a group to worship during the New Year's Festival. ”

I'm afraid that a few people don't believe it, Hu Yan thought about it, and said: "When I was nine years old, there was a child in a village villager who fell into the river for fun, and in a blink of an eye, he sank into the river, and there was an old man in the family who said that this was the river god who dozed off and woke up hungry to make a tooth sacrifice, so he slaughtered the livestock in the family, bought incense and candles, and took the family to the river temple to worship, and when the family walked out of the river temple, they saw at a glance that the child was sitting barefoot by the river and playing in the water, nothing happened. ”

"When I was twelve years old, that is, the year before I went to Anqing County, I remember this matter most clearly, Dingshui Bridge is eighty miles away from Liangcheng, at that time, there was a rich man in the city to take a concubine, the brocade and the five-flowered horse red-headed sedan chair was very pompous, but the Shenshui River Temple did not stop stepping on the incense, when I went to cross the bridge unharmed, when I returned, when I was on the bridge, a gust of wind suddenly blew, and the sedan chair was blown into the river with the newcomer in the sedan chair. After that, the rich man with a lot of money burned incense in the Shenshui River Temple for several days, all kinds of rare things gold, silver and jewelry donated to the merit box outside the temple, three days later, the matter was good, in the eyes of everyone, the sedan chair came to tread water, opened to see, the new person in the sedan chair is still the new person. ”

As soon as this nonsense came out, the three of them already believed it.

However, Jin Yue'er said in a deep voice: "Uncle Yan, what do you mean is that this matter is not the strangeness of this sinking river, but the ...... of the river god of the sinking river."

"Shh

Hu Yan raised a finger and hurriedly interrupted in a low voice: "Second Miss, I can't say this." ”

Everyone was silent, their faces were still solemn, and Jin Yue'er's face was so cold that she was about to squeeze out the ink.

If it is really this sinking river god who is doing trouble, then, regardless of his river god and river ghost, if it is useless to worship him, even if she Jin Yue'er smashes the river temple, she will have to rescue a few people.

can't wait, Jin Yue'er didn't say anything anymore, and said directly: "In this case, then we will set off overnight and arrive at the river temple as soon as possible, so let me sincerely worship this sinking river god." ”

It's just that anyone among the three people present could hear that Jin Yue'er obviously had a taste of gnashing her teeth when she said this, could it be because she had been with that rebellious boy for a long time?

But how did they know that the current Jin Yue'er was no longer a martial artist in the eyes of the three of them, but a first-order spiritual cultivator, although it was only a first-order, even Chen Qingniu, who was originally the strongest among several people, would not necessarily be his opponent.
