Chapter 186: The Moon River Fogs Rises, the Wooden Boat Comes* (Happy New Year)
Qiaofu Mountain, west of Sanshui County, is just an inconspicuous ridge back among the 100,000 mountains.
This mountain, in the position of the white tiger in the west, the mountain is straight and steep, and there are many old ditches and dense forests.
Many years ago, due to the complex and steep mountain environment and the mild and humid climate of the 100,000 Great Mountain, there were many wild animals in this ravine, and there were hiding places in the rugged and difficult mountains.
It's just that later, with Sanshui County next to it, the wild air in the mountains slowly disappeared, and the beasts walked the mountains empty, and the damp air gradually became heavier.
...................
On the night of September, not long after the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the bright moon hanging in the sky was like a white jade plate, hanging down thousands of silver threads.
It was late autumn, and the air at night was already tinged with a hint of coolness, and the dew of the mountains slowly rose from the branches and leaves of the mountain forests, the rocks, and the river water, and under the quiet of the moonlight, there was a blue-white cloud.
At this time, it was eight or nine o'clock in the evening.
Qiaofu Mountain, at the foot of the mountain, the mountain forest under the moonlight looks dark and hazy, and there is a trace of dew like clouds and smoke.
In the darkness, there were several small pillars of white light that swayed and flickered in the dew.
At the foot of the mountain, it is close to the river of Sanshui County.
On the shore, there are two hazy figures, standing there.
Lights emanated from these two figures.
Two slender lampposts swept across the water, looking into the distance where the white air was rising.
"Sister, are you afraid?"
On the shore, a figure opened its mouth in silence, the voice of a middle-aged man, with some hoarse and heavy.
"Master, I have seen a lot with you this month, and I have learned a lot of skills, so I am not so afraid of this kind of thing. β
The other voice was a woman's voice, and it was a young man.
"Heh, you can't hide it from me, just listen to your voice and know you're nervous. β
The middle-aged man raised his thick eyebrows slightly, turned his head sideways, and said with a hint of a smile in his voice.
"Master, I... No. β
The young woman whispered and quickly denied it, but the hesitation in her tone could not be concealed.
Under the thousands of silver filaments that are quiet and bright, it can be seen dimly that there are two people on the shore, one tall and one short, a man and a woman.
The man is middle-aged, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a wide body, a white face, a black tight-fitting cloth shirt, white stockings tied under his feet, black cloth shoes, and a hanging wooden sword with a red ribbon on his back.
He also tied his hair and inserted a wooden hairpin.
And the woman looked like she was twenty-eight years old, and she was also wearing similar clothes, and her eyebrows and eyes had a hint of restraint and slight panic.
From the conversation between the two, it can be heard that the two have a master-apprentice relationship.
And this woman's eyebrows and eyes are the Tujia girl who has had a two-sided relationship with Jiang Xiaobai, Li Meier.
One was at the end of last year, his family was fishing on the Emerald River, and encountered a large and vicious black dragon that hit the boat, her father accidentally fell into the water and was bitten by the black dragon, plus the river was cold, and his physical strength was exhausted, at that time it was Jiang Xiaobai who crossed the river with a rod and saved the life of this old man.
The second time was in the later month, when Lao Dao took Jiang Xiaobai and the old monk Kongming to travel, and she saw it once.
Both times it was a quick glance.
And Li Mei'er, who was originally an ordinary person, why is she dressed up like this now, like a female crown, and stepped into the door of cultivation?
It all started a month ago.
Li Meier was able to see Jiang Xiaobai's imaginary shadows, which caused Jiang Xiaobai's accident, guessing that he had yin and yang eyes and could see yin and yang. At the same time, it also triggered the imagination of this girl in the mountains to roam with immortals.
Of course, this is gossip, and Li Meier didn't know that her eyes were special at that time.
Until one night a month ago, Li Meier met an old man in the village who had just died a few days ago, and her fate took a turn.
Seeing the dead is indeed quite frightening for an innocent girl.
Anyway, after a series of twists and turns, she met her current master, a monk from the Maoshan Sect.
After some testing, the master found that she had the yin and yang eyes of the Taoist, and he was overjoyed and wanted to accept her as a disciple.
Yin and Yang Eyes, this kind of physique is perfect for cultivating the runes of the Maoshan Sect.
And Li Meier also became a registered disciple of the Maoshan Sect.
At this time, the master and apprentice stood at the foot of the mountain, with flashlights in their hands, shining on the surface of the river, as if they were waiting for someone.
In the mountains shrouded in the moon and fog in the middle of the night, the atmosphere was cold and with a touch of tension.
"Sister, I remember when you were accepted as a teacher, you asked me a word, enter my sect, learn my patriarchal method, can you become an immortal? Yes or no?"
The Taoist priest of the Maoshan Sect seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally dissolving the tension in this atmosphere, and said with a smile.
"Well, Master, I was stupid at the time. β
Li Mei'er nodded shyly, a little embarrassed.
After she apprenticed to her teacher, she learned and understood the current way of the world from her master, and found that her question at that time was very embarrassing.
"Hehe, I'm just thinking, how can you have such an idea from a girl's family? Besides, you agreed very happily to get started, and now that I think about it, it's quite interesting. β
A female baby readily agreed to enter Taoism, and asked people if they could become immortals after learning the Fa, which can be said to be very naΓ―ve.
"Master, in fact, I have never thought of the idea of immortals in the world before, but I once met a person ......"
Li Mei'er said and thought, and her pretty eyebrows showed a look of memory.
And the Maoshan Taoist priest, who was originally just chatting about it to relieve the tension of his apprentice, listened to Li Mei'er's words, and the surprise in his thick eyebrows and big eyes became stronger and stronger.
"Are you sure they just disappeared from the rooftop?"
The Maoshan Taoist priest was surprised, and his eyes showed doubt.
"Yes, it's like a cigarette going off, and I've seen that little brother twice. β
"The person you said can paddle across the river with a bamboo pole, which shows that the degree of control over internal forces is very high, and you said that the second time you met, the other party disappeared after seeing you, and this ..... is not very clear. β
The middle-aged Taoist frowned slightly, thinking about analyzing the situation that the apprentice said, and finally shook his head, turning into doubt.
"You said that the second time you saw each other, there were two people next to him?
"A thin monk, as if there was a white-haired old man, I don't remember the situation clearly. That one. Li Mei'er frowned slightly, and said recalling.
At that time, it was just a glance, and she didn't remember it too clearly, so she couldn't say it.
"Oh..."
The middle-aged Taoist looked a little solemn, and suddenly two people jumped in his mind, but he seemed to think that this was too coincidental, so he shook his head slightly.
And in this gap, in the distance, on the steaming river, the sound of paddling was heard.
And the shadows of the lights flickering.
"It's coming!"
The middle-aged Taoist raised his eyebrows, jumped out of his thoughts on the topic just now, and looked at the white vapor steaming river in the distance.
Autumn is strong.
The blue-white water vapor adds a bit of mystery to the dark mountain forest.
The sound of paddling comes from far and near on the surface of the river, and can be heard clearly in the quiet night.
After a while, a raft came out of the mist on the surface of the water, and gradually revealed its proper shadow.
Under the white moonlight hanging high, there were three or four hazy figures standing on the boat.
The raft broke through the dew vapor and paddled along, coming to the shore with the shaking of the lampposts on the shore.
