The glimmer of the morning light sprinkled in the endless sea of bamboo, reflecting a flawless emerald green, and a flock of pale golden kingfisher birds in the emerald green.

White clouds floated slowly from the sky, and in the melodious chirping, pieces of bamboo leaves withered from the clusters of tall bamboos, and they landed among the flowing streams, setting off a circle of waves and slowly spreading.

It is a deep valley full of green bamboos, crisscrossed by small streams, and the sound of murmuring water is endless, blending with each other, but running in different directions.

A young man slowly walked his steps and stepped on the land. His steps were gentle, but in the breeze and the leaves, he had gone deep into the valley from the entrance, and behind him was a woman, silent, but following him.

Until, in front of the two people, a rushing river appeared. Its source is gathered by thousands of clear streams, and at this moment it is rushing and tumbling, roaring rapidly, and it is displayed in front of the two of them in the white night.

"Hey, boatman, can you give me a ride?"

Bai Ye waved his hand not far away, and saw that there was a thatched hut there, and next to the thatched hut was a small ferry, and in that small ferry, there was a small wooden boat, which was tied to a stake with a rope so that it would not be washed away by the water.

And next to the wooden house, there were two figures, an old man and a little girl.

The old man's figure was slightly rickety, and at this moment he was sitting on a bamboo chair in front of the thatched hut, gently shaking the bamboo leaf fan in his hand, blowing the drunken mountain breeze, and pricking up his ears to listen to the sound of flowing water.

The little girl, on the other hand, was squatting on the ground, and at a glance, you could tell that she was not very old. At this moment, her two little hands were covered in mud, and she was building her city on the ground.

"Girl, what are you doing?"

"Grandpa, don't laugh at people, they will definitely buy a big mountain city for you in the future. ”

When the old man heard this, he closed his eyes, enjoying the little sunshine left in his life, and a smile appeared on his wrinkled face. Only he knows that behind this smile, there is also a longing for another person.

"What kind of stupid thing to say, in the future, finding a good family to marry is better than anything else. ”

"Grandpa, you are, what are you talking about, if I leave, who will accompany you in the future? What's more, what about our ferry?"

When the old man heard this, he was furious, he sat up from the bamboo chair with a smoke, opened a pair of slightly cloudy old eyes, looked at his granddaughter playing with mud in front of him, and shouted loudly:

"Grandpa, can I accompany you for the rest of my life? What is there to inherit from a broken ship, silly girl, you let me tell you what is good. Alas........."

When the little girl heard this, the brilliance in her eyes dimmed a lot. She knew that she understood many truths that her peers could not understand, but she never understood what her grandfather said, and she did not understand why this little old man, who had always depended on her for his life, was so angry when he mentioned this issue.

............

"Grandpa, there seems to be someone shouting over there, someone is going to cross the river. ”

Listening to his granddaughter's words, the old man turned his head slightly, and sure enough, two figures not far away walked towards them.

"Two young men, are you going to cross the river?"

"Yes, thank you, old man. ”

The two of them walked in front of the old man and the little girl, and in the face of the old man's greeting, he smiled and nodded, then reached out and took out some broken silver taels and copper coins and handed them over.

This is what he has learned along the way, and for all the things he has experienced in the mortal world, some things at the beginning, he was also confused and did not understand anything.

On several occasions, he suffered from the white eyes for not understanding the rules of ordinary people, and it was not until once, after stopping Hyuna, who was faintly enraged, that he remembered his experience in the black sea in the Beifeng Frontier and figured out what was going on.

However, to his astonishment, the old man only accepted two copper plates and then pushed back the broken silver in his hand.

"Young man, two copper plates are enough, it doesn't have to be like this. ”

The old man smiled kindly, and then he put on his coat and walked slowly to the small wooden boat, grabbed the slender bamboo pole, and waved Bai Ye and the two to get on the boat.

Bai Ye smiled, took Hyuna, and boarded the old man's ferry.

"Yun'er, untie the rope. ”

"Okay grandpa. The little girl playfully jumped on the ferry, and after skillfully untying the rope, she squatted on the boat and blinked at Hyuna.

What a beautiful sister, Yun'er thought to herself, she grew up with her grandfather since she was a child, and she has seen a lot of all kinds of passers-by, but it is the first time she has seen a beautiful woman like Hyuna.

"Forehead ......"

Hyuna stood quietly on the ferry, feeling embarrassed for the first time since she walked with the white night. She is a demon race, the rules of the human race, she doesn't understand, but at this moment, she understands this little girl's eyes.

She is envious, is she envious of herself?

............

On the ferry, Bai Ye stood there, watching the scenery around him. The green bamboo breeze, the gurgling river, the reflection of the clear back, this is not a river, but it is not small.

Its source rests on one end of a cliff, and the water is extremely fast. And what Bai Ye and the others have to face, although it is not the turbulent water flow of the source, there will also be obstacles from the reef in the water from time to time.

Bai Ye stood silently, he raised his head and slowly opened his arms, and at this moment, he felt a strange strange power appear in his body, dissipating with the flow and circulation of blood.

And his cultivation began to surge in an almost crazy way. A strange artistic conception, like a huge picture scroll, slowly unfolded in his mind.

A wide river, with no source and no destination, flows mightily in a white mist, its water is extremely dangerous, turbulent, furious, and domineering.

And he is like a drowning man, imprisoned in the cold and biting water, not allowed to come out of the water, not to enter the water. Just float on the surface of the water and drift with the current.

It was an unspeakable pain, unstoppable, unbreakable. At this moment, he forgot his true self and floated wantonly in the general trend of the rolling water of the river, in an unspeakable confinement.

On the ferry, Bai Ye's eyes flashed a little when he looked up at the sky, and then, his ordinary eyes turned into pitch-black heavy pupils, flashing with a confused brilliance and slowly closed.

Hyuna, on the other hand, turned her head suddenly, staring at the white-haired young man beside her, with a look of disbelief in her eyes. She tucked her jade hand into her sleeve, and it was covered with beautiful dark blue scales.

It was her scale armor, and the reason why it appeared was entirely because of the throbbing of blood in her body. It was a strong sense of resonance, and everything was caused by the breakthrough of the white night.

The mountain wind blew and blew the young man's white hair, fluttering, but the young man was completely unmoved. At this moment, he is already immersed in the world of the great river, which is not lost, nor sinking, but epiphany.

The river is mighty and flowing, and the feeling of Bai Ye at this moment is somewhat similar to when he first comprehended the artistic conception of extreme cold. It's just that the difference is that this realization has already affected his own changes.

"Well, what's going on?"

On the ferry, Yun'er rubbed her eyes, and she looked at the place where the young man had been standing, her eyes full of surprise and disbelief.

In her eyes, in the world she saw, the young man with an ordinary appearance but a very dusty temperament sometimes appeared, sometimes hidden, as if this person had never existed on this ship.

The aura passed at a terrifying speed, within a radius of hundreds of miles, and all the aura was plundered by a mysterious force. Bai Ye opened his mouth at some point, and a long narrow fang grew out in an instant, helping him frantically devour the aura condensed by his breakthrough.

All these changes are taking place without him knowing. Hyuna couldn't help but mobilize her demonic power and set up a wonderful barrier around Bai Ye's body.

This not only made Bai Ye completely disappear in front of the two ancestors, but also prevented Bai Ye from being disturbed when he broke through.

At the same time, she also took out demon fans from her ring from time to time, shattered and refined them with terrifying demonic power, and turned them into an incomparably pure power, which was swallowed into her belly by Bai Ye with the passage of aura.

.........

"Old man, in front, is Yunshui City. ”

On the ferry, a white-haired young man smiled and chatted with the old boatman, and Bai Ye didn't expect that this time the enlightenment would come and go quickly.

When he woke up, the boat had only been crossed into the middle of the river by the old boatman.

And after he asked his doubts, he saw the old boatman shaking his head with a smile, and then he said: "There is no Yunshui City in Xiliang anymore, there is only one border city left. The one you mentioned is already a relic. ”

"Uh......" Bai Ye was speechless, he was a little embarrassed, the information he knew seemed to be a version hundreds of years ago.

The old boatman smiled, and he did not speak any more, but kept moving the bamboo pole in his hand, skillfully avoiding one reef after another that emerged from the water.

"You young people, at first glance, those big families smuggled out, otherwise why can't you even get a map?"

Facing Bai Ye's shaking of his head, the old boatman shook his head with the same smile, and then he said something that made Bai Ye completely embarrassed.

"Don't bully the old man, I don't understand, I'm also a person who has lived for more than one hundred and fifty years, and I've eaten more salt than you've ever eaten rice." ”

And Hyuna, who was beside Bai Ye, covered her mouth and smiled, and now she suddenly felt that some people in the human race were also very cute.

"Goodbye, old man. Bai Ye waved his hand and walked towards the front with Hyuna, and suddenly, a sense of foreboding flashed in his heart, but when he turned back, he did not notice anything unusual about the old boatman and his ferry.

.........

"Master, there's a river ahead. ”

"Let's go, go over and have a look. ”

............

PS: Today the book of mineral water is on the shelves, although I don't know if I have a real reader, but I will continue to write until the end of this story.

I know very well that my writing and storytelling skills are terrible. To be honest, 400,000 words, there are too many places, I feel like I write badly, but how to put it, this may be the only way to grow.

I really hope that I can have readers, everyone has nothing to read, chat together in the book review area, I don't have the luxury of collecting and tickets, just a click......

Finally, thank you. Thank you very much!!
