Chapter 6 The Great River
In the early morning, I woke up in the morning. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
There is a wooden shelf on the right side of the door, on which is placed a copper basin for washing, and the basin has been filled with clear water, which I think Xiao Er prepared last night. Tianming walked over and gently washed his face with his hands to make himself look more refreshed.
Opening the door, he stepped out.
I didn't go far before I arrived at the lobby of the inn.
The shopkeeper is still banging behind the counter, as if there is an endless account, and Xiao Er, who is called Xiao Li, doesn't know where to go at the moment, maybe it's to clean up the room.
There are still no people in the lobby, and it seems that even during the day, business here is not very good, and probably only at night will there be "astray guests" to stay here, and no one wants to come during the day, after all, it does not look very good.
Now in the lobby, in addition to the shopkeeper behind the counter, there is only Xiao Ruoshui, she sits at the table near the door, drinking her tea comfortably, regardless of the eyes of others.
Tianming didn't expect to run into her early in the morning, and he smiled bitterly in his heart, so he had to walk over and said with a smile: "Senior Sister Xiao is good." ”
Xiao Ruoshui glanced at him coldly, didn't answer, just nodded, and then continued to drink the tea in her hand.
Tianming was about to sit down, but Xiao Ruoshui on the opposite side had already stood up and said, "Let's go." ”
"Ah,"
Before Tianming could figure out the situation, Xiao Ruoshui had already walked to the door, and in desperation, Tianming had no choice but to follow her.
When he came to the door, he paid the bill to the shopkeeper, but the shopkeeper said, "The girl who paid your account has already paid it." In Tianming's surprised expression, the shopkeeper said with a serious expression: "It's really hard for you." Take care. ”
Now Tianming is even more confused, but Xiao Ruoshui has already gone out, and he is about to disappear in front of him, and Tianming has no time to ask any more, so he only told him to take care of himself, and he didn't think much about it.
He hurriedly ran in the direction of Xiao Ruoshui, shouting as he ran: "Shopkeeper, leave me some more tea, and I will drink your tea next time." ”
Behind him, the shopkeeper's voice came, "Certainly, definitely." ”

Wilderness trails.
Xiao Ruoshui walked in front and took the lead. Tianming was behind her, and neither of them spoke.
The sky was clear, the white clouds were fluttering, and from time to time a few pleasant insect chirpings and bird calls reached the ears of the two. The breeze passed by, and it brought a hint of floral fragrance, which was so pleasant.
"Senior Sister Xiao, where did you just say we were going?" Tianming took a deep breath and asked cautiously.
Xiao Ruoshui didn't reply, and replied coldly: "One hundred thousand mountains." ”
It was already some distance from the inn they had left just now, and suddenly, Xiao Ruoshui in front of him stopped. Tianming walked by himself, looking left and right, and didn't notice that Xiao Ruoshui in front of him suddenly stopped, almost unable to retract, and almost hit Xiao Ruoshui's back, but fortunately he stopped in time to avoid this embarrassment.
"What's wrong?" Tianming was surprised.
Xiao Ruoshui turned around, looking at Tianming with water-like eyes, but his eyes did not have a trace of emotion, as if he was an iceberg and snow, "Do you plan to go to the 100,000 mountains like this?" ”
"That's fine." Tianming looked at Xiao Ruoshui and wanted to be angry with her.
"Then you can go alone, I won't accompany you." As she spoke, she took out her Shadow Bearing Sword, held the sword trick in her hand, and with a "swish", the sword flew away.
Tianming froze in place, and only came back to his senses after a while, secretly scolding that he shouldn't compete with her, and then also sacrificed the Zixiao Sword and flew away in the direction where Xiao Ruoshui left.
Tianming went up against the wind, because the speed was faster, so the wind speed next to him was also faster, blowing away his hair.
The trail was wild, surrounded by woods, and there were no buildings except for the inn where the two of them had stayed before. It was autumn, and most of the surrounding woods were maple trees, which had changed color, some yellow, some red, and some evergreen green.
Tianming looked from the sky, and his feet seemed to have overturned a big dye vat, which was dyed colorful, so beautiful, but this kind of scenery was the first time he had seen it. Because of the strong aura, the trees in Kunwu Mountain are evergreen in all seasons and do not change color. Unlike here, when autumn comes, another set of decorations is changed.
However, each has its own merits, and it cannot be said that it is good or bad.
The scenery under his feet was picturesque, and it also infected Tianming, and Xiao Ruoshui was still in front of him, so he couldn't help but speed up, and after a while, he saw the white figure in front of him.
Xiao Ruoshui flies very smoothly, just like her character. A breeze swept through her hair and scattered around her snow-white cheeks. She didn't appreciate such a beautiful view under her feet, I don't know if she was thinking about something?
Tianming sped up again, and when he came to her side, his expression was serious, and he said with a little apology: "Senior Sister Xiao, I was joking with you just now, don't mind." ”
"Why should I mind? I don't know you very well. As soon as Xiao Ruoshui spoke, he was so choked that he couldn't speak.
"Then why did you let me go with you?" Tianming asked again.
"I don't know anyone else, and you're in the same destination as me." Xiao Ruoshui replied.
If it weren't for Tianming's good temper and knowing Xiao Ruoshui's character, other people would have turned against her a long time ago.
It's just dawn, but it won't be like this anyway. He just smiled awkwardly and revealed.
Because of the addition of Xiao Ruoshui, Tianming didn't spend more time playing along the way, but was in a hurry, and the two of them flew in the air, and they only flew for three days before arriving at Dajiang.
The land of Shenzhou, from west to east, meanders and flows countless rivers of all sizes, the largest and longest of which is the big river that the two of them arrived at this time.
Tianming had seen Huaishui and Yunmengze, and thought that it was already a rare big river and lake in the world, but compared with the big river, how could it be summed up by a small thing.
Three thousand years ago, the demon race and the human race lived across the river, and it was not until eighteen years ago that they were driven back to the ancestral land of 100,000 mountains. And Dajiang was only fully occupied by the human race.
"There is a mixture of things, and they are born from nature. Lonely and liao, independent and unchanging, and circumstantial. It can be the mother of the world. I don't know its name, the word is the way, and the name of the strong is big. The big is gone, the past is far away, and the far is reversed. Therefore, the Tao is big, the sky is big, the earth is big, and the people are also big, and there are four major domains, and people live in one of them. Man is the law of the earth, the earth is the law of the sky, the heaven is the law, and the Tao is the nature. Tianming stood by the river and groaned.
This passage is from the Taoist bible Tao Te Ching. Zixiao Palace belongs to Taoism, so in addition to practicing Taoism, the disciples also have to recite this Bible on weekdays. Although the Tao Te Ching is not a practice exercise, it has some auxiliary effect on Taoist practice exercises, so the effect of reciting this book is still quite large.
The greatness of the river comes from this paragraph. When Tianming read this passage at that time, he heard the senior brother Donghua talk about this past.
Before that, it was not called Dajiang, but Zhongjiang. Because it divides Shenzhou into two parts, one south and one north. It's just that later, after the human race and the demon clan signed an alliance and ruled the river, Zixiao Zhenren came here, feeling the momentum of the river, and recited the words that Tianming had just recited by the river, and took the big characters in it. Since then, Zhongjiang has been changed to Dajiang, until now.
Xiao Ruoshui heard Tianming chanting something, but she didn't understand. She didn't care, she was a little tired after flying for two days, walked to the river, scooped up a handful of water, washed her face, and washed away the fatigue of the past two days.
Drops of water slipped down her jade-like face, reluctantly, and finally fell to the ground. On her long eyelashes, there were also a few drops of water mischievously, which were crystal clear, making her look like a kind of touching beauty.
It's just that her eyes are still cold, and she doesn't seem to have a trace of emotion.
It is said that women love beauty, and even Xiao Ruoshui, who has always been arrogant, is not exempt from vulgarity. I don't know if she has the word water in her name, so she also likes water very much. Along the way, whenever she encounters a small stream or river, she will stop and freshen up, and only at this time will Tianming feel that there is a beautiful woman beside her.
Tianming also walked to the riverside, Xiao Ruoshui's behavior, he was already surprised, and he was used to getting along in the past few days.
The water was so clear that you could see a lot of fish playing around, and as if they had heard someone coming, they suddenly flashed, hid deeper and disappeared.
Standing by the river in the morning, watching the river roll and surge, drifting with the waves, flowing forward wantonly. The vastness of the river is beyond the reach of manpower and can be resisted.
Compared with the great rivers, human beings are only a drop in the ocean, extremely small. Just like a small mayfly between heaven and earth, it can't attract a trace of attention, and it won't have an impact on heaven and earth. That's how small people are.
