The background of Zilong's place is the desert snowy wasteland, and as he completely enters the frozen state, the snow falls more and more rapidly, burying the lower body of the sculpture in an instant. I didn't stay as long as I did when I was upstream, and followed the master of Yuelongyuan to the dock and boarded the boat that had been prepared long ago. Still with him holding the boat, we continued to drift down the river, drifting on the Yin River full of ice floees. The farther away from the General's Palace, the less snow and ice floes there were, and the smoother we walked. I know that it won't be long before our surroundings evolve into a wilderness of white sand or a loess Gobi, where life will come to life after a very long period of desolation.

"Do you want to see the general's mansion like Lin Xiang?" the master flicked the boat penny, making the water clear and avoiding the last floating ice-made island, "There are still seventy-nine towns." ”

"Don't go, I don't want to look at these things anymore, just send me to the imperial city and go to the Jinluan Palace!" I flicked my fingers, using qi as a crossbow arrow, and with a bang, I exploded the ice floe, "I'll leave after reading it, and I can't stay any longer." ”

The crumbling ice fell in a torrent, and most of it spilled into the ship. The owner didn't say anything, and while receiving the hail and drizzle, he held the boat leisurely. I sat on the deck, and I couldn't stop weeping as I watched the gold and silver helmets in my arms, and the knives and guns, and I knew their sharpness best, and what else in the world could pierce your heart through your skin? Only they can make my heart through the big hole, only the wound they have created will not heal, and the blood will not stop flowing.

"Jinluan Palace. The master's eyes were also full of fascination, "Above the one hundred and eighty kings, there is a supreme being, do you dare to see it?"

"Shouldn't I be the supreme in my heart?"

"You're fifth. ”

Suddenly, there was a fork in the river ahead, and a small delta cut the babbling Yin River into two sections. The master paddled violently and turned the boat toward the slender section of the newly separated section. I was puzzled and asked, "Why is the river leading to the Imperial City narrow? In terms of its consumption, it should be the most, and with such a small river that can't carry a big boat at all, how can it meet the needs of the One Hundred and Eighty Palace?"

"Whatever you think we should have, we will have. This river is just the yin veins in your body, and the thickness only determines the amount of its flow, except for you, there will be no boat walking on the river at all. ”

The master took out a picture from his bosom, depicting the passage of the eighty-one towns, the pattern of which resembled the human body, and the eighty-one towns were connected by a network of rivers, each at the node of the yin vein. These nodes, in turn, branch off into a thin vein that leads to the location of my heart.

"Am I in a spiritually constructed world, or is it all something condensed by yin qi? If it is real, then why do Lian Po and Zilong exist? If it is illusory, how did I get these two light souls?"

"Because the general doesn't know the answer, and we won't know either. The master laughed calmly, "If the general himself sees it, there is no need for us to tell the shadows." ”

But how could I get an answer without these shadows to remind me? What Lian Po wanted me to dig up must exist somewhere in this mind. The Yin River was bubbling and flowing, and we finally saw a little color other than yellow and white. In the distance, I saw a mountain of green trees, and the lower layer was a dense shrub, verdant. The water flowed into the forest. The master suddenly exerted his strength, hit the water with the boat penny in his hand, and pulled downward, and then shot a carp with a red body and a white belly. The fish jerked in the air, splashing its owner with water, and then fell into the river with a thud. He wiped the water stains on his face with his sleeve, turned around and smiled: "Sure enough, it's different when you come, I haven't heard that there are so many fish in this river, let alone the red carp that means auspicious." ”

I leaned on the boat and looked into the water, and sure enough, there were many fish swimming in twos and threes below. I can see one or two of all the fish I have seen, and there are more carps of this kind. They scramble to be the first, swimming against the current, constantly waging their fan-like tails, which is funny and cute. Because they swim up the river, they swim very slowly, and it only takes a little stretch of hand to catch one. The fish is very fat, but it is not as listless as the farmed fish in the market.

"Why do they have to go upstream? The river is so fast that they can't swim out – and if they did, we should have seen it on the way." I let go of my hand and put back the little carp I had just stopped. It was staggered by the river and fell backwards a lot, but as soon as it straightened itself, it swam forward again desperately, not knowing how to stop. I saw that it really looked like me, and I walked a lot, and I was tripped by someone, and most of it was in vain. What is there ahead, is it to escape from the fishing of the fishermen of the Imperial City? They should not be so spiritual.

"Heaven is constant, not for Yao, not for death. You only see that we are the shadows in your impression, but you don't see that everything in this world is with you, and every move contains your will. If you are a tree, you will grow upwards regardless of the wind and rain, and you want to pierce the blue sky for the long sting, so the trees here are like this; if you are a fish, you will be tired of going up the river on the Ping Lake, and as a koi carp jumping into the door of a dragon, so the fish here are like this. Here all things in heaven and earth follow your will, and here you are the way of law. "The master was drenched, and the front of the boat was already misty, splashing in our faces.

The river is broken, or it can no longer be seen at eye level. Facing us was the vast sky, the mountains, forests, grass and trees suddenly disappeared, and the river turned into a waterfall. The master threw away the boat, opened his arms, split the water and shouted: "The golden luans of the present world are all in the plains, and they are paved with seven stones, eight bricks and fifteen layers. The emperor's heavy gate deep courtyard, high on the top, the background is the blue sky! Only here Jinluan is hidden in the valley, surrounded by mountains, there are eighty-one waterfalls, and there is a passage through the road. One palace and one hundred and eighty halls, one emperor and one hundred and eighty generals, and one general and one hundred and eighty faces. The historian's book is too thick, and I will carry you lightly. "We climbed over the mouth of the waterfall, barely touching the water, and fell empty. The splash of water hit the bow of the boat, and I don't know if I chase the waves or the waves will chase me.

The imperial city is at the lowest end of the waterfall, a hundred feet away from the river that connects the eighty-one towns. I only glanced at the Hucheng River below and was dazzled, and I only felt that the heavens and the earth were spinning. The master told me to look up, and sure enough, I saw a deep valley where he was groaning, and one after another waterfalls hanging high like Lin Jie's hair. The sound of the water roared, and it was even more shocking when the boat hit the river, like a thunderclap suddenly falling from the heavens. My boat is like a missile, and when it enters the water in front of it, it blows up a 10-meter-high column of water, which may be a bit like a cauliflower.

Between the waterfalls are towering trees, whose roots and veins are bare, and they cling to the moat, and there is no shore soil to be seen. These giant trees are as tall as waterfalls, with wooden walkways and hewn holes, and the people in between, all as small as black ants.

The spectacle is just a moment. The owner of Yuelongyuan and I both fell into the water, and all that was left in front of us was the sand and dust in the river and the swimming fish. I couldn't float in heavy armor, and I couldn't exert my strength in the water, so I couldn't take off this scale armor. I couldn't breathe, and I was still holding a gun and a knife and two helmets in my hands, and I was reluctant to let go, so I could only accelerate the sinking.

The moat is so deep that it can't reach the bottom of the river even if it sinks for tens of meters. The master had already surfaced, and he got into the boat, not paying any attention to me, as if he had forgotten me.

Gurgling ······

At first, I thought it was the sound of bubbles when I exhaled, but I only had one breath out, and where did the subsequent sound come from? The sound became clearer and clearer, and I could hear that it was the sound of some kind of creature swimming and its body stirring the water. At present, I have fallen 100 meters above the water, and it is so dark that I can't see what the creature is or which direction it is approaching. Faintly, a large shadow crossed in front of me. Could it be a snake? I saw that its scales and belly were slightly lighter than the others, and its whole body was like a flexible, stretchable cylinder. It was so long that I could feel it going around me, and in a moment it turned into two circles, as if two of them were swimming by. Is it to wrap me up tight—if it's a snake?

Burst.

The large, long-striped creature finally swam right in front of me, causing me to open my mouth and choke on a mouthful of water.

Coo-la······

More and more water poured into my mouth and into my lungs, making it impossible for me to breathe. At this moment, when my life was hanging by a thread, the huge creature opened its mouth, bit me with its glowing teeth, and took my body in its mouth.

Those eyes have a spirituality beyond human beings.

Dragon. If it is fake, the huge creature that swims quickly with me in my mouth is a real dragon, which leaps through the water and soars into the sky and clouds. It shook its head and let go, throwing me into the air, then hunched over and caught me and asked me to sit on it, close to its head. When I was so tossed that I vomited seven or eight points of the water that I had just choked on, the dragon heard me coughing, threw me up again, and put his mouth on me, and forced me out of all the water in my trachea in an upside-down position.

"Alright, let's stop. After I finished coughing, I couldn't help but feel dizzy when I looked at the palm-sized Baili Imperial City below.

When the dragon heard this, he still repeated the routine just now, let me ride it, and then suddenly straightened his body and dived, one step at a time, and five steps to the bottom, just floating on the side of the boat of the master of Yuelongyuan. I jumped down, and before I stepped into the boat, I heard the dragon plop into the moat and disappeared.

The master laughed when he saw this, and out of nowhere he found two more oars, and set them up on the boat and swinged leisurely. I reluctantly walked up behind him and asked, "Am I so embarrassed every time I come?"

"Nope. The one in the dream you know that there are several dragons underwater, and they usually fly down on them. There are also plank roads on those giant trees, which can be safely settled with a little more effort. ”

"Then why didn't the dragon come early today?"

"Because you didn't think about it that way. This is your world, and what you don't think about is not there by default. After falling into the water, you want someone to save you, and the dragon will naturally come out. The master stopped what he was doing, got up and said, "It's here, go up." ”

The piers on the outskirts of the Imperial City are also magnificent, with many double-storey galleries parked around, as well as treasure ships with high sails and thick bellies. We walked up to the pier, surrounded by sailors in white turbans, fishermen in fishing nets, and the pier was wide but not easy to get down. The people who come and go don't care about my golden armor and won't take the initiative to give way.

"There are too many princes in this city, but the people below will not listen to any of them, but to the words of the most high ones. But those adults don't have a shelf than you, and they don't care about this at all. The master took out of his bosom a silver ingot and gave it to the two old sailors to buy their prestige. The two men did not smile when they took the silver, but nodded solemnly, and then raised their arms to call the crowd back. The crowd immediately dispersed, leaving a way for me and my master. I walked through it with a gun and a knife in my arms, a helmet and a helmet in my hand.

"Imperial City. ”

After walking more than ten miles, walking through many mountain villas and farmhouses, we finally came to the foot of the imperial city, a brief look, the outer city wall can be a hundred miles high, and the soldiers stationed on the wall are lined up, dense and better than the secluded forest. We don't need anyone to say hello, as soon as the people guarding the city see me, they call dozens of soldiers to go down and push this gate of 10,000 catties together. The door moves very slowly, and it takes five or six minutes to push it alone, and I don't know how to close it after a while. Even though there were a hundred and eighty kings living in the city, since the kings lived in the city, there was no possibility of war?

"What's the use of such a high city, it's inconvenient for the people. ”

"The city is very high. The master smiled, "The city you want to be the one you want, the people you want to lock up." ”
