Chapter 245: The River
"Brother Li?"
Luo Qing was suspicious early in the morning, and he was not very surprised when he heard this, so he stepped forward with a smile and recounted.
After a few conversations, I learned that this stout and kind senior brother was the fourth generation disciple of the Empirical Department. He was introduced for more than 70 years and was also the older brother of Li You, whom he knew.
The fat Taoist priest always laughs before speaking. He is also a Shanghainese person. After he got his name, he didn't see another place to pat Luo Qing on the shoulder. He was only a head shorter than Luo Qing, and his movements were a little funny: "Senior Brother Yu is amazing." The incident over there in Cliff City shocked the patriarch of the sect. Of the 3,000 disciples of this family, about a hundred were able to remember their names by our ancestors. Outer disciple, tsk, little brother Yu, you are the first!"
At this time, the fat Taoist priest stretched out his thumb, and Luo Qing smiled. During this contact, he knew that the fat Taoist priest was still exaggerating and not taking it seriously. After saying a few kind words, Luo Qing asked about the origin of "Tongtian River".
Half a month ago, he received a decree from the clan praising his achievements in understanding the conspiracy of the blood monk Turing and killing criminals. After receiving the order, he was asked to leave the tribe immediately and make other arrangements. Luo Qing didn't dare to delay. He set off at once. During the journey, he made a trip back to Shishinji Temple, asked for directions, and then walked all the way east and north. Until you reach Miao Qingshan, which is less than a thousand zhang high.
According to Yu Zhoulao's guidance, there is a "Yunfei Crossroads" on the top of Miao Qingshan, which can connect the Tianhe River and extend it for more than 1,000 miles to the mountain gate. When Sekulo reached the top of the mountain, he saw only the verdant greenery of a thousand mountains, with mountain streams and springs flowing in the middle. However, it is invisible to say "a river that stretches for hundreds of miles".
The fat Taoist priest was not surprised at all that Luo Qing would ask this question. He smiled and said, "Since it's called Tongtian River, of course it will go to heaven." How can the human water system be called a "heavenly river"?
In his words, he couldn't help but feel a little proud. His thick and long fingers circled around the mountains and patted the boulder behind him: "Look at this Feiyun intersection." Although based on vanity, when the mountains rise and merge into the sea of clouds, we can connect all the peaks, such as the jade belt on the ring. If we leap over the mountains with our sword in the wind, will we not be like wave after wave, like a sailing ship like an arrow?"
Luo Qing looked around. The sun is shining at the moment, and the clouds are not clear. Only fresh green is scattered throughout the mountains. However, one can vaguely imagine the sea of clouds, whose peaks are as turbulent as islands and fog.
The fat Taoist priest said beside him: "It will take a while to see the scenery of the Tongtian River." I'd better take my brother with me and catch it before we see the clouds. ”
Luo Qing naturally would not refuse, and said, "Brother Li, please." ”
"Where, where"
Fat Taoist hee, fat Taoist palm waved, "hum" sounded, he and Luo Qing opened a ball of pure white sword light not far away, Luo Qing is also an expert in making sword light, just look at this, the fat Taoist jade sword has a high level, the sword light should be mixed with a special magic weapon, the sword light has lost its pure color, but it has no effect.
Sure enough, the fat Taoist priest smiled and said to him, "I built a 'White Cloud Barrier' on the handle of Yan Ze's sword. It has no side effects, but it carries more loads than others. Come on, let's not delay. It's 1,200 miles from here to the mountain gate, and if it goes well, it takes more than two hours. At night, the river in the sky is not calm. ”
Luo Qing smiled when he heard this, and didn't say anything more. He walked into the sword circle lined up by the fat Taoist priest. The two men immediately jumped to their feet and pounced on the open area surrounded by mountains outside the Feiyun Ferry.
Also in the mountains, mountaineering and flying around the mountains are two different sensations altogether. The fat Daoist's sword light flew fast and steadily. Luo Qing stood between them, flying over one mountain after another. Beautiful views of the mountains one after another. The fat Taoist priest next to him casually explained that the journey was not alone.
The 1200-mile journey is not far, nor is it far. A monk named Huan Dan traveled as hard as he could, flying more than 800 miles in an hour. However, it is difficult to avoid being influenced by one person. The two or three hours that the fat Taoist priest said was still very pertinent. After flying for about a quarter of an hour, Law felt something strange. According to the fat Taoist, the Tongtian River is rising. The two of them should also fly on the path of controlling the sword. However, the sword of the fat Taoist, although fast, always hovers in the mountains. He has been looking at the beautiful scenery of Miao Qingshan, but the flight altitude is still within a thousand zhang. Law felt suspicious.
At this time, the fat Taoist priest suddenly turned his head and grinned at her. However, his finger pointed at the foot of the mountain: "Look, the clouds are coming." ”
Wonderful green clouds soon rose. The sun overhead seemed to be surrounded by a layer of smoke. The temperature in the mountains has decreased. The surrounding mountains and valleys are surging upwards. Not only that, but there will be clouds flowing down the river for nine days. Soon, the clouds joined together, and the mountains in the distance suddenly blurred.
The fat Taoist priest suddenly stopped his sword light and stood in the void. He smiled at Luo Qing and said, "This is the Tongtian River. ”
Luo Qing looked in the direction of his finger, and saw the clouds surrounding the mountains, like a huge jade belt, passing through the mountains, like a turbulent valley, the wind was surging and surging, and the angle of the fat Taoist priest was very good. From this point of view, this jade belt seems to extend into the endless emptiness, and one can't help but wonder where the end of this "great river" is.
"Let's go!"
The fat Taoist roared, and the speed of the control sword suddenly increased, splitting clouds and waves, shooting like electricity. At the same time, he smiled at Luo Qing and said, "It's still a little late." We take shortcuts. The road can be bumpy. ”
Luo Qing only smiled at this.
The sword light flew very fast, but the moment it pulled away from the height of the mountain peak, Luo Qing's eyes still saw that on the nearest mountain peak, there was still a stone stele. From his point of view, he can't see what's written on the tablet, but the "little one" who has been following him all the time can play a role in sharing his point of view.
I saw that there were three words written on it: knock on the cloud door!
This time, the direction in which the fat Taoist priest controlled the sword was obviously upward, and the angle was very large. It immediately moved away from the top of Miao Mountain. At this time, the sky was covered with clouds. From a distance, it looks like a row of huge waves, hanging high in the sky, connected to the sea of clouds. The fat Taoist priest rushed straight towards the clouds and crashed into the clouds.
The field of vision suddenly narrowed, and only the fog was flying, changing shape in front of Luo Qing. The fat Taoist priest also stopped talking, and Yu Jian, who was stuffy, ran wildly, only speeding up two or three times, Luo Qing couldn't distinguish anything, only knew that the sword light not only flew in a straight line, but also circled around I don't know how many times, stirring up the dark clouds outside, and the momentum was compelling.
