Chapter 18 River Pond Water Valley

The fog on Daze Lake purifies the mountains and villages near and far into a dreamlike world.

An old fisherman rocks the oars gently at the stern of the boat, making a light sound of water.

Chi Chao stood on the bow of the boat, a pair of drunken eyes melting together with the thick fog.

Here, he remembered Rouruo, who had found the old pharmacist in this place, thinking that he could cure the rot on his body, and would go back to be with Rouruo from now on.

Unfortunately, it was empty again.

Since Rouruo's death, the only things in this world that can make him feel are the morning glow and evening mist, the sunset and the night moon, which can elevate Chi Chao's mortal heart to the realm of traveling with heaven and earth.

As the fog grew thicker and thicker, the oars beat rhythmically into the water, pulling up whirlpools that swirled and swirled away, and then faded away.

Chi Chao pointed to a faint green bank in the far northwest that had melted away with the mist and said, "Uncle! What is that place?"

A hint of horror crossed the old fisherman's face and he said, "It is the famous [River Pond Water Valley], which has only a narrow entrance, but the inside is very vast, full of shallow floating islands...... The view is stunning."

Chi Yanqi said, "Since there is such a good place, why don't you go in and have a look."

The old fisherman sighed and said, "Guest, you don't know, ten days ago, Qianqiu Bang issued a closure order, prohibiting any boat from sailing into the [Hechi Water Valley], and those who violated it will not be killed, so even the fishermen who have been fishing there do not dare to go in, alas!"

A thick fog blew in, turning the valley of the river into a bewildered white.

Chi Chao's eyes flashed purple, and the Demon Eye of Straight Death opened, and he saw through the water valley town in the dense fog at a glance, and snorted coldly, "There are so many people!"

Through the Demon Eye, Chi Chao saw that there were dozens of high-level cultivators squatting on the outer shoal inside.

The old fisherman suddenly said, "The guest has an extraordinary temperament, and he must also be a martial artist. Know that the Thousand Autumn Bond is not easy to provoke."

Chi Chao asked, "Uncle, what is the origin of this [Qianqiu Bang]? Isn't there only two gangs in Daze: the [Autumn Wave Gang] and the [Qingwei Gang]?"

The old fisherman laughed and said, "This was three years ago, and the [Qiulang Gang] has already eaten the [Qingwei Gang] and become the only big gang in this Lancang Daze. The guest is also a martial artist, do you want to join this [Qianqiu Bang]?"

"I'm not interested in this, is there a place to sell alcohol nearby?" Chi replied.

Although Chi Chao had stayed with the [Qingwei Gang] for a while, it didn't matter much, and the revenge of the [Qingwei Gang] didn't need his help.

The old fisherman laughed and said, "Regardless of his world's bastard things, I have been drunk to relieve a thousand sorrows, I can't imagine that the guests are like-minded people, I have a big pot of homemade rice wine hidden in this boat, do you want to taste it?"

Chi Yan smiled and said, "I have already smelled the smell of wine on the ship, and I am still wondering why my husband is so stingy and doesn't treat his friends with wine even though he is a frequent visitor to the drunken country."

The old fisherman smiled so that the wrinkles on his face were piled up, and even his eyes were hidden, he reached out and took out a large wine jug under the bamboo mat at the stern of the boat, which was heavy, at least ten catties, opened the lid of the pot, and poured two mouthfuls before handing it to Chi Chao.

Chi Chao took it with one hand, and unceremoniously took three sips in a row, and the aroma of rice wine mixed with a medicinal fragrance permeated the boat.

The smell of rice wine is greater than the smell of medicine, and Chi Zhen sighed, "Good wine!"

The old fisherman was so happy that he was about to speak, when he suddenly noticed that Chi Chao suddenly stared at a place.

The old fisherman was surprised and looked around.

The fog was like a high wall, enclosing them in another strange space, where they could not see anything or hear anything special.

Chi Chao spoke, "There's a big ship coming, and it's still fast, oh! Not good!"

The old fisherman was stunned for a moment when he heard the sound of "Huohuo", which was the sound of a full sail fluttering.

The old fisherman has always lived on the lake, and he has a lot of experience in boating, and the long oar immediately shakes quickly and avoids the side.

The boat glided smoothly for more than twenty feet, and suddenly a giant boat broke through the fog like a monster on the left, and the hull of this boat was at least twice as tall as an ordinary ship, so it went from the small boat

When you look up, it's as unreachable as you look at a raised cliff.

The sixteen sails on the giant boat were full of sails, and in an instant they were forced to a distance of more than thirty feet on the right side of the boat, and when they were about to collide, the old fisherman was about to shake the boat away, but it was too late.

Before the boat arrived, the wave arrived.

The boat is like a leaf in a storm, tossed by the waves.

Chi Chao snorted coldly, and when the boat rose to the highest point, he stepped on the momentum under his feet, and the boat slid to the side along the waves, and in an instant moved away from the channel of the giant boat more than four feet.

The giant boat ignored whether the boat capsized or not, and left.

While gathering his strength to lower the plate, Chi Chao followed the churning current at the bottom of the boat, and on the other hand, his eyes swept towards the body of the giant boat, and he saw the sign of the white bone skull of the sword intersecting on the ship.

At this moment, a window in the cabin opened, the curtain opened, and a fancy eyelid appeared in the window, and the beautiful eyes looked out at Chi Chao.

The two looked at each other, and the pair of beautiful eyes saw that Chi Chao's face was calm, and at first showed an indifferent look, but then their beautiful eyes lit up and burst into a strange look.

Chi Chao was shocked, that woman was someone he knew—Zi Yao.

The giant boat bent again and again, returned to its original channel, and sailed straight towards the river pond and water valley.

The old fisherman swung the boat with a long oar, so that the bow of the boat floated against the waves, and cried, "The lord has eyes, and the lord has eyes!"

Chi Chao looked at the distant giant boat, and the monstrous waves in his heart had not yet subsided.

Was it discovered? That woman, even though she had only seen me a few times ago, could now discover my true identity with just one look?

Or has the [Qianqiu Bang] already received the news that I am not dead, and the wasteland has their eyes and ears? Could it be that this Lancang Daze is going to become the fourth country in addition to the Three Kingdoms?

When the old fisherman saw that he was silent, he thought that he was still in shock, and comforted, "Guest! It's all right."

Hearing this, Chi Yan sighed and said, "Old man! You can't sell this boat. I'll give you a blood crystal, will you accept it?"

The old fisherman was stunned and said, "My small boat is only worth three taels of silver at most, and a piece of blood crystal is enough for me to live for decades, have you thought it through, guest officer?" Besides, this boat is old and rotten, and it is useless for you to buy it!"

Chi Yan smiled and said, "It's done! The longitudinal boat is old and rotten, you and I are destined, and invite me to drink, it is worth the price. As long as it can carry me to the valley of the river, it will have fulfilled its mission."

"The guest wants to enter this [Qianqiu Bang]! Truly extraordinary people."

[Ruyu Building] is the most large-scale restaurant in a small town on the wharf on the west bank of the Mili Water Valley, the river pond water valley is rich in sea bass, and the sea bass of the restaurant is not full of praise for everyone who has eaten, so even the town is also prosperous.

Chi Chao never expected that the valley of the river pool was so wide, and he rocked the boat in the thick fog for two hours, not only could he not find the giant boat, but he also did not meet anyone, and he couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

In desperation, Chi Chao took out the wine jug and drank the wine, and a glass of wine was poured into his throat, and the heat rolled straight into his stomach. Chi Zhen sighed, "Good wine!"

After drinking this glass of wine, Chi Chao gave up chasing the giant boat, and instead returned to the pier where he started [Ruyu Building] and stayed temporarily.

At this time, it was not yet dinner time, and only six or seven of the more than twenty tables were seated, and Chi Chao just liked this kind of quietness.

As soon as I reached a table upstairs, I ordered a pot of Huadiao wine and a few side dishes, when suddenly footsteps came up from the stairs, one heavy and one light.

The heavy footsteps knock on the wooden ladder like a pigeon, the light seems to be nothing, but you can always hear it, and the light and heavy form a very strange rhythm.

Several customers upstairs and shopkeepers all showed attentive looks, and their eyes moved to the upper part of the stairs.

Only Chi Chao was indifferent, drinking and eating at the same time.

The first to come up was a young man as strong as an iron tower, and everyone saw that he was more than seven feet tall, with thick shoulders and a thick neck, and their hearts were relieved.

"Da-da-da!" The sound of light steps followed, and a delicate beauty in purple emerged from the top of the stairs. Everyone's eyes were focused on her beautiful face, forgetting that there was a tall man beside her.

The beauty finally walked upstairs, wearing a purple tight-fitting suit, with a delicate and convex figure, which was very attractive.

Da Mo's expression was a little timid, and when he saw everyone looking at him, he seemed to be afraid to find a hole to get into, but the woman in purple generously crossed in front of him, and her eyes swept over everyone's faces.

Daze is in Daze, which woman dares to look at a man who doesn't know the details, but this beauty's gaze is bolder than that of the prodigal son, and everyone is invincible, so they avoid looking at her for some reason.

The shopkeeper saw that the two were "acquaintances" and knew their purpose, so he didn't come out to socialize.

The woman in purple finally looked at Chi Chao's back. The woman took two steps forward, looked at Chi Yudao, who was sitting on her back, and said coldly, "Where is Childe from?"

Chi Chao had another drink and was silent.

The woman's cold and hard voice said softly: "I had a relationship with my son just now, so I know that you have an extraordinary bearing. Are you going to enter [Osawa]?"

Chi Chaotou didn't look back and said, "So what? Isn't it?"

The woman's voice turned cold and said, "Don't pretend to me!"

With a wave of his hand, a silver needle flew out of his hand, crossed the top of Chi Chao's head, and then fell heavily next to the Chi Chao cup, half embedded into the solid tabletop, and the other guests upstairs couldn't help but be speechless.

"It's not the truth yet, otherwise the next shot will have to change positions and kill you!"

Zi Yao warned for the last time.

"Forcing me to do it? Can you handle it?" Chi Chao put down the wine glass, and just clamped the silver needle with his right hand,

The silver needle dissolves into silver water at a speed visible to the naked eye and falls to the ground.

There is not the slightest breath of soul power!

Zi Yao was shocked, this was no longer a power that mortals could have, but Chi Chao was not a cultivator!

The mystery on Chi Zhuan's body instantly attracted Zi Yao's interest.

"It's not me, it's him!"

Zi Yao shook his hand, and the tall man behind him instantly burst out, and his big hand was about to hold Chi Yan's shoulders.

"Humph!"

Chi Chao snorted coldly, picked up the chopsticks on the side and threw them back.
