Chapter 108: Acer truncatum on the quicksand river
"Swimming...... It's really not too good. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Tang Sanzang looked at the few apprentices who were staring at him, and lowered his volume a little with some lack of confidence, but immediately pointed to the small words on the stone tablet and said: "You see, even goose feathers and reed flowers can't float, this quicksand river is eight hundred miles wide and three thousand zhang deep, even if it is a swimming champion, it will be hung." ”
"Master, is the swimming champion a powerful immortal?" Ao Xiaobai asked curiously.
"Uh...... I guess that's pretty impressive. Tang Sanzang hesitated for a moment, clapped his palms and said, "Okay, that's not the point, what we have to think about now is how to cross the river?" ”
"Xiaobai and Luo Xi I can use the somersault cloud to take them over, but Master, you will fall down on the somersault cloud, and I can't help it." Sun Wukong looked at Tang Sanzang and said.
"Master, don't look at me, I can't carry you...... What did you grow up eating, it's too heavy. Zhu Tianpeng also waved his hand again and again.
"Master, then we can make a boat to cross the river." Ao Xiaobai made a suggestion.
"This river can't even float goose feathers, and it will sink if you take a boat with anything, Xiaobai, you have to learn Chinese well......" Tang Sanzang touched Ao Xiaobai's head and said.
"Master, look, there's a small boat over there, and there are people on board." Without waiting for Tang Sanzang to finish speaking, Ao Xiaobai had already stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the river and said.
Tang Sanzang's face froze, and he turned his head to see that there was really a small boat rowing leisurely in the wide river Shanghai, and there was a gray-bearded old man standing on it, with a bamboo fishing rod stuck in the bow of the boat, which seemed to be an old fisherman.
", this second slap in the face......" The corners of Tang Sanzang's mouth twitched, and his fixed thinking was really harmful.
Although he didn't know why the small fishing boat was not able to sink on the quicksand river, or because the water of the quicksand river became less demonic after the river turned blue, Tang Sanzang hurriedly walked to the shore and beckoned to the old man, "Old man, can you give us a ride." ”
The old man rowed the boat to the shore and stood on the boat looking at Tang Sanzang and the others, showing a little surprise.
Sun Wukong is not Lei Gongzui, and Zhu Tianpeng does not have a pig nose, but two young and beautiful girls and a cute little Lori plus a white horse with a single horn are following a young monk, and the battle still looks very strange.
"Old man, we want to go to the other side, I don't know if you can give us a ride, we won't treat you badly for the boat fare." Tang Sanzang looked at the old man and said with a smile.
"On the other side?" The old man looked at Tang Sanzang and repeated, and when he saw Tang Sanzang nodding, he pursed his lips with some disdain, "Young man, your brain is not very good, this quicksand river is eight hundred miles wide, you let the old man and I take you across the shore, and the tired old man will not be able to get there." And there are four of you, and you have a horse, where can I fit this small boat, is it possible that you can still stack Arhats? ”
The argument of "......" was reasonable and well-founded, and Tang Sanzang was speechless for a while.
Zhu Tianpeng turned his back and shook his shoulders with laughter, and the corners of Sun Wukong's mouth were also slightly upturned, and he turned his head to look at the river, pretending not to hear.
Coughing lightly twice with embarrassment, Tang Sanzang hurriedly changed the topic, "Old man, I see that the stone tablet says that this quicksand river is drowning for three thousand, and nothing can float if it falls, why can your boat float?" ”
"Oh, that's what you say." The old man stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "Generally, things can't float in the quicksand river, and even birds flying on this river will fall." However, there is a kind of Acer truncatum on the South Mountain, and this kind of wood will not sink in this quicksand river, so we used it to make a fishing boat, so that we can enter the quicksand river to fish. ”
Tang Sanzang looked at the fishing boat at the old man's feet, eight dark red thick logs were tightly tied together with rattan, and there were golden marks on the surface, which really looked a bit like the shape of an ingot.
It seems that the quicksand river can still sink everything, but the clever people have found a way to counter it, not something lighter than goose feathers and reed flowers, but these strangely patterned woods.
"Old man, can you tell us where the twilight mountain is? We wanted to cut down a few Acer truncatum trees and make a boat to cross the shore. Tang Sanzang said with a smile, and took out a piece of gold from his arms and handed it to the old man.
The old man glanced at the gold, and there was a hint of joy in his eyes, but he didn't reach out to take it, shook his head and said: "You think too simply, even if it is an ingot maple, it can't be cut down to float in the quicksand river, and without our great wizard's practice for three days, it is no different from ordinary wood." Well, I'll take you back, and it's up to your luck whether the Great Wizard will help you or not. ”
"Grand Wizard?" Tang Sanzang showed a hint of curiosity, but he didn't ask too much, he stuffed the gold into the old man's hand, and said with a smile: "Then there is the old man." ”
"Haha, you can call me Uncle Wang, you walk ten miles along the shore, where is our Wangjia Town, I will row back first, and wait for you at the entrance of the town." The old man put the gold in his mouth and bit it, put it in his arms, and said with a smile.
"Okay, Uncle Wang, you go slowly." Tang Sanzang nodded with a smile, watching the small fishing boat go away, Sun Wukong and Zhu Tianpeng naturally wouldn't call a mortal a mortal to be a prince's uncle, really counting their age, this guy is too young to be their great-great-great-grandson.
"Tian Peng, did you see anything special about the boat?" Tang Sanzang turned his head to look at Zhu Tianpeng and asked.
"It should be a shallow closed formation added to the wood, mainly relying on the characteristics of the Acer truncatum itself, but if this formation is not added, this boat really can't float on the water, it seems that the great wizard has a bit of formation attainment." Zhu Tianpeng thought for a while.
"Okay, let's go to the town first, and then go get a few Acer truncatum trees to make boats, so that we can cross the river." Tang Sanzang nodded, glanced at the boundless quicksand river, and unexpectedly did not jump out of a red-haired monster.
……
Heavenly Court, on the banks of the Heavenly River.
A figure in silver armor stood on the riverbank with his hands in his hands, and his narrow Danfeng eyes narrowed slightly, adding a bit of femininity to his originally handsome face.
"Marshal Tianyou, the scouts sent by the Nine Stars have been back for two hours, and two months have passed in the Nether, but the Star Monarchs have not returned yet, I don't know if I need to send someone to investigate?" A golden armor heaven will appear, bow his head and arch his hand.
"Who are the immortals of the Nether this time?" Marshal Tianyou didn't look back and asked coldly.
"It's the Blue Fairy." The heavenly general hurriedly responded.
"Blue Fairy?" Marshal Tianyou turned his head, and his voice raised a few points, but he quickly regained his composure, waved his hand, and said, "Send a few people to investigate, and if there is a problem, report it immediately." ”
"Yes!" The heavenly general received the order and turned into a golden light and left.
"Zhu Tianpeng, this time...... I won't let you go! ”
Tianyou looked at Tianhe and showed a grim smile, and the calm river suddenly exploded, and a black shadow turned into pieces.
