Volume 2 Fate Gathering, The Battle of Zhongnan Mountain Chapter 114 Wujiang
"Let's go. Ignoring Leng Yuexin, Yang Mengyan just said this. Then, Yun Shui followed her again and began to walk forward.
Behind him, Leng Yuexin's voice sounded again.
"Hey, don't you plan to reward some of this son's good poems? Leng Yuexin began to shout like this.
But no one paid any attention to him.
Feeling bored, he glanced at the silence around him again. After a period of loss, he followed in Yang Mengyan's footsteps.
It was desolate all around, and the night had completely darkened.
The three of them walked like that until they came to the side of a river.
"Is this the Wujiang River?" Yun Shui opened his mouth and asked Yang Mengyan.
"Yes, this is Wujiang, but something doesn't seem right here. I remember when I came to Jinling before, there was originally a bridge here. But now, why can't I find the bridge?" Yang Mengyan replied to Yunshui, but at the same time he showed doubts.
"Oh, Wujiang. Yun Shui lowered his head and began to groan.
His behavior attracted the attention of Leng Yuexin next to him. Leng Yuexin leaned over to him and asked in a low voice in his ear.
"Hey, what's wrong with you? Could it be that Tianzhu Zhiguo, you already have a direction?" Although Leng Yuexin lowered her voice, there was still eagerness in her tone.
Nonsense, if you really let this little monk find the direction. Wouldn't such a cheap bodyguard he had hired with great difficulty be about to expire? That would definitely not be possible, so even if it was shameless and obscene, he must keep this little monk. Well, at least, he has to wait until he catches up with Yang Mengyan.
"Hey, I said, little monk, don't you really want to abandon me like this, right? But as you said, we are friends, and that friend is in trouble now, shouldn't you think about helping?" After Leng Yuexin finished speaking, she began to pay attention to Yun Shui's reaction again.
It wasn't until he was about to get impatient and was about to say it to add money that Yun Shui finally answered his words.
Yunshui just suddenly remembered that when the Buddha came, he wanted Yunshui to go to Huaguo Mountain and rescue a monkey. So Yunshui was thinking that this Wujiang River should be very far away from Huaguo Mountain. Then Yun Shui was thinking about it and became distracted, so he didn't hear Leng Yue Gongzi's words. ”
"As for the country of Tianzhu, Yunshui still doesn't know which direction to go. But Yun Shui thought, the sky is round, since the earth is round, then as long as Yun Shui keeps walking like this, he will always be able to find it. ”
Yunshui was just worried now, the monkey didn't eat or drink. If Yun Shui can't rush over as soon as possible, will he be starved to death by then?"
Yun Shui said, and his face showed a kind of worry again.
And hearing his words, Leng Yuexin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hey, the sand moraine is vast, the green mountains are vast, how far is the country of Buddhism? Leng Yuexin opened her mouth and said such a sentence.
"What?" Yun Shui didn't hear clearly, so he asked Leng Yuexin again.
"No, it's just a compliment to you for being a good boy. Leng Yuexin said, and finally let go of her heart.
It's so good that it doesn't seem like there's a need for a salary increase anymore.
But Yun Shui was confused at this time, and he looked up at Leng Yuexin again.
"I, did I miss something?" asked Yun Shui suspiciously.
"I always feel that Leng Yue Gongzi's Dharma realm is much stronger than Yunshui. Yun Shui shook his head. If he can't figure it out, he won't think about it anymore.
But at this time, Yang Mengyan, who was standing by the river, opened his mouth to answer Yunshui again.
"Huaguo Mountain, that is, from Kunlun Mountain to the east, about a day or two away, you can reach it. It seems that we also happened to be on the way on this trip. Yang Mengyan didn't turn her head, she kept staring at the river.
It's strange that there should be such a bridge here. But now the bridge is long gone.
Was it the previous overlord of Western Chu, who destroyed this bridge? But why did he destroy this bridge?
Is it to block someone on the other side of the bridge? But it shouldn't be, with his strength, he won't pay attention to the weak people at all. But how can a powerful person care about such a bridge?
Could it be that there are some other ghost things in this place besides the overlord of Western Chu? But it shouldn't be, what ghosts can survive when the overlord of Western Chu is here? Moreover, those two people called themselves ghosts before, if there are other ghosts here, then how can they ignore them when they come this time?
If you think about it this way, the existence that destroyed this bridge will definitely not be a ghost. In this case, there is only one possibility left.
"It's a monster? There's a monster in this water. But the monster destroyed this bridge, what is his purpose?" Yang Mengyan thought like this, but she couldn't come up with an answer.
"What the hell does this monster want to do?" Yang Mengyan muttered in a low voice.
And just as she was so deep, there was another burst of fire on the opposite side of the riverbank.
Then, the light of the fire began to get closer and closer. And it wasn't until the light of the fire came to the three of them that the three of them finally saw clearly, it turned out to be an old man rowing a small boat, slowly approaching the three of them.
"A few guest officers, but you want to cross the river?" the old man took the initiative to open his mouth and began to inquire about Yang Mengyan.
"Heh, I said old man, it's so late, why don't you go home to rest and pull people here to pick up passengers?" Yang Mengyan did not answer the old man's words, but also opened his mouth to inquire about the old man.
"Alas, the poor can only get up early in the morning and be busy, thinking that they can make more money, and that's it. The old man's eyes were earnest, and he seemed to be just a poor common man.
"But there is a big problem, the yin qi was raging here before. Even we can't get close to here, let alone you as an ordinary old man, how did you get here?" Yang Mengyan continued to talk with the old man.
"Oh, did the girl mean the wind from before? My old man thought it was the beginning of autumn, so the cold wind was normal. At that time, I deliberately returned home and changed into thick clothes before coming out. ”
"Alas, poor people, there is no way. can only get up early in the dark, and I can't wait to make money by treating one day as two days. Speaking of which, the old man and I are really greedy, thinking that no one will come out to pick up passengers at night, so I started this unique business. ”
"Of course, the people who can still come out at night must be the sons of some rich families, or merchants. Ordinary people rarely go out on the ferry during the day, let alone at night?"
"That's why I get up early in the morning to carry passengers like this, just thinking that the price can be higher at night, and I can earn a little more. But the old man and I also have a conscience, although the price will be high at night, but I will only ask for the price this time, and I will not ask you to increase the price again when I get to the center of the river, like other people. ”
"So old man, you can rest assured that I am in the business of repeat customers. Send you to the other side of the river today, and when you come back again, I only hope that you will choose this boat of my old man, and that's all. ”
The old man's voice was as earnest as ever until he finished speaking.
"Oh, I can understand a little bit of what you say. Yang Mengyan looked at the old man, he was still not in a hurry to get on the boat, but continued to say.
"I always remember that there was originally a bridge here, because when I came from Shimen, I walked on that bridge. But I haven't been here for a month, and the bridge is now destroyed. ”
"I don't think it's a monster, it's just that you ferrymen are fighting for business, so you destroyed the bridge, right? ”
"But thinking like yours, for your own benefit, has cut off the convenience of many people. If so, what do you have to be pitied?"
After Yang Mengyan finished speaking, his face was already angry. Originally, she thought that there would be a monster here who deliberately destroyed the bridge, in order to cut off people's convenient paths, so that people could worship it. But she didn't expect that it was these humans who destroyed the bridge themselves, just to be able to maintain their own business.
"Well, what can I do about my old man? After all, I am only an old man, and I cannot be the master of the village. It's a good thing for my old man to be able to live. ”
"My old man can't control the others, so I'm just going to do my best to make sure you all cross the river safely. ”
"If the three guest officers think that the price of the old man is high, then there is no way. Because I can't lower the price anymore, otherwise, if the people in the village know about it, they will definitely think that I have broken the rules, and they will not let me go. ”
The old man's expression was still earnest. It was clear that he was not lying.
"Oh, are the people in your village so unreasonable?" Yang Mengyan asked.
