Chapter 32: Crossing the River
The four of them rode their horses all the way, and met a local village holding a spring festival on the way, and they couldn't stand the soft grinding and hard bubbles of Hongluan, so they stayed there for two days, and other than that, almost all of them were in a hurry.
Ten days after leaving Wuma Town, several people came to a large river with a strong current, and Nian Ci pointed to it and said, this is the Black River.
Ye Yichen took advantage of the situation, the river was surging from top to bottom, the waves slapped on the shore from time to time, there was a huge sound, if they were not far away, they must have been wet clothes, the mist on the river surface rose, it was as high as several zhang, looking at it, a hazy scene, so that the other side of the river was also looming, it seemed extremely unreal.
Under the leadership of Nian Ci, they led the horses to the side of the Heihe, a village called Baihua, after entering, they found that the village was not big, but it was bustling, crowded everywhere, and it seemed a little congested, which was incompatible with its scale.
Ye Yichen and Hongluan glanced at each other, each other looked suspicious, obviously they didn't understand, why was this inconspicuous little village crowded with people?
Hongluan seemed to blink her eyes, as if she remembered something happy, she smiled and said to Nianci: "Sister Nianci, there are so many people here, is there a spring festival soon?"
The territory of the land of China is vast, and each place has its own unique customs, but now it is the spring of March, and the same activities will be held almost everywhere in the people, which is the spring festival, although the content may be different, but the purpose is the same, praying for the health of the family and a good harvest for the banker.
Nian Ci understood what she was thinking as soon as she heard this, and she gently tapped Hongluan's forehead and said, "Silly sister, haven't you had enough fun a few days ago?
The two of them sighed at the same time, and understood, and at this time, the two found that many of the young people in the village were dressed in other places, and they looked similar to their age.
"Fourth junior brother, fifth junior sister" At this time, someone suddenly said next to him.
When the four of them heard the voice, they saw a man coming from the crowd, he was tall and strong, with a rough face, and he was wearing a blue robe of the same style as Yun Ci.
"Second Senior Brother. Nian Ci recognized the person, grabbed his hand, and shouted happily, and Yun Ci next to him was also happy, and greeted him.
The man smiled innocently, looked at Nian Ci carefully, and pretended to be serious and said to Yun Ci next to him: "Fourth, you see that when you come back from this trip, your junior sister has lost a lot of weight, beware that the master will punish you." ”
Yun Ci frowned slightly when he heard this, he looked at Nian Ci, and fell into deep thought with a suspicious expression.
"This must be one hour in the night. The man noticed Ye Yichen next to him and asked.
Nian Ci thought that there were Ye Yichen and Hongluan next to him, so he hurriedly pointed to Ye Yichen and said, "Second Senior Brother, he is Ye Yichen." Then he said to the two: "This is our second senior brother Cangwu." ”
Ye Yichen hurriedly said hello, Cangwu smiled, and said that there was no need to be formal.
Nian Ci glanced at Hongluan nervously, she didn't know how to introduce, she didn't want to panic with the second senior brother, but she couldn't say it directly, this was the young master of the ghost city, the only daughter of the dying god.
Hongluan saw Nianci's embarrassment, smiled at her lightly, signaled that she didn't have to worry, and then said to Cangwu, "Senior Brother Cangwu, my name is Hongluan, and I am also here to participate in the Izumo Society. ”
"Oh, okay, Senior Sister Hongluan, you can go into the valley with me. Cangwu nodded and didn't ask anything, there were a lot of people who came to participate in the Izumo Society this time, in addition to the four gates of the Imperial Spirit, there were also many newcomers from the Scattered Immortal Sect, and he thought to himself that maybe Hongluan was one of them.
After speaking, Cang Wu beckoned, called an old man dressed as a farmer, led the horses of the four to the stable next to him, and then walked in the direction of the end of the village with the four of them.
Hongluan's father God is dying, although she is thunderous in the spirit world, she herself has been living in the ghost city since she was a child, and this is the first time she has sneaked out and roamed the outside world.
Hongluan thought in her heart, not to mention that Cangwu didn't know her, even Mo Yuyi, the head of Tianji Valley, might not be able to recognize her identity when she was here.
Seeing this, Nian Ci happily squeezed her eyes at Hongluan, and let out a long breath in her heart, but Yun Ci beside her didn't say a word, and her face was cloudy.
After a short while, Cangwu led the four out of the village, then through a large birch forest, and finally stopped on the other side of the black river. The water here is much calmer than there before, and you can faintly hear the sound of flowing water, but for some reason, the water vapor on the river is still thick, and you still can't see the situation on the other side.
Looking around, what greeted them was not the birch tree, but the Heishui River in front of them, Ye Yichen looked at them in surprise, and asked: "Didn't you say that you were going to Tianji Valley, why did you come here again, don't you want to go down to the river to catch fish now?"
Hongluan heard that Ye Yichen was catching fish, and suddenly became interested, I don't know if there is still a chance for the Fish King Festival in Piaoxue Town, there is a ready-made one here, she pulled down the corner of Ye Yichen's clothes, and was about to encourage him to go down the river, when she suddenly heard a rustling of footsteps behind her, only to hear a woman ask softly: "Isn't this Senior Brother Cangwu, hey, why is it blocked here, if you don't go over, I'm welcome." ”
Ye Yichen and Hongluan were stunned, and the two of them turned around at the same time.
I saw seven or eight people coming one after another behind her, the woman who asked just now walked in the front, a marked melon seed face, wheat-colored skin did not affect her beauty, this woman was neatly dressed, her black hair was braided into a long braid, she hung a golden short knife around her waist, and a black giant sword was slanted on her shoulder, this giant sword looked unbelievably long, not much shorter than her body.
"Don't regret Senior Sister, it's here so soon, our Royal Spirit Four Gate is the farthest among you, and it seems that the others have almost arrived. By the way, I heard that your senior brother is also here, didn't you come with you?" Cang Wu obviously knew this woman, and it seemed that she was more familiar with her senior brother.
"This is Senior Sister Unrepentant, who rushed over from the Shentie Sect. Nian Ci introduced Ye Yichen and Hongluan to her while shouting to Senior Sister Unrepentant and greeting her.
"Senior Brother Mu Bai is a day earlier than me, so he should have entered the valley yesterday. Unrepentant also found Nianci, smiled at her and nodded, and walked over to this side.
Cangwu frowned when he heard this, touched the thick and neat beard on his chin, and didn't know what he was thinking, he blurted out: "Why didn't this dog come to me." It was obvious that he was talking about Mu Bai.
Next to her, Nian Ci glanced at Cangwu, as if she knew what he was thinking, she said with a little accusation: "Still coming to you? Last time, you two secretly went out of the valley in the middle of the night to buy wine and drink, and almost delayed the big event, you were punished by the master, and you faced the wall for a month, did you forget it so quickly?"
Cangwu didn't get angry when she heard Nianci say this, and said with a smile: "Senior sister, you don't understand the affairs of adults, you kids, haha"
"Senior Brother Cangwu, then I'll go over first, and I'll see you later. At this time, he didn't regret a preoccupied look, and he didn't seem to be in the mood to chat with them.
Ye Yichen naturally knew that she said that she was crossing the river in the past, and when she just wanted to ask how to pass, she saw a flash of golden light, and pulled out the short knife on her waist without regrets.
