()
"Sleepwalking Realm Express: The Dark Horse Holds On: The Ice City Small World is still not attacked by the Boundary Beast, which is tantamount to a success, but how long this dark horse can last is still a question."

The Hills Club
"Why? Why? Who's going to give me an answer? β
"Boss, we've done our best, but it's very difficult to advance to level ten in the Ice City Small World."
"Impossible, the small world of Ice City is a rare small world of disputes, why can't you be promoted to level ten?"
"Now that there is a fire attribute player in the small world of Ice City, as long as it is a high-level player who is targeted by him, there is only one way to die, and the players under our command have a good chance of dying."
"Kill level 9 players?"
"No, if it's between level seven and nine, it will be killed."
"Hiss~! Can't you go to the low-level area to farm monsters? β
"No, Bingcheng Ningxia is a bit special, and high-level players are not allowed to kill monsters in low-level areas."
"That's not going to work, that's not going to work, you've got to figure it out for me, you know?"
"Yes, boss."
The same scene is happening in many clubs at the same time, but the protagonists of the Ice City Club are not thinking about one thing, they are thinking about another problem.
Boss Bai sat upright in his chair: "You mean you can't hold it anymore?" β
"Yes, I can't hold it." Bai Sugar Sujiu said: "There are already a lot of players at level seven or eight now, so it is impossible to restrict them through special methods as before. β
"Then set your sights on the ninth level." Boss Bai thought for a while and said, "It will take a while for the seventh and eighth level to be promoted, so as long as you control all the ninth level players, you can extend the time again." β
Although Boss Bai has never entered the sleepwalking world, he can quickly arrange plans through the information he has come into contact with.
"Is there any result for the giant Golem you told me earlier?"
"Its direction has been determined, but no trace of it has been found."
"It's him, gather all the ninth-level players, use the pretext of hunting this stone giant, gather them all, and put them all in sight."
Bai Sugar Sujiu thought for a while and said, "That Dad, before Yike said that he was using the pretext of chasing and killing the murderer to gather high-level players. β
"Hunt down the murderer?" Boss Bai thought for a while and then nodded: "This excuse is not bad, I can summon all the players of the seventh or eighth level, but you have to be careful, now other clubs are staring at us, in case there is a mistake Our dark horse will not be black, you know?" β
"Got it."

After a whirlwind, Jiang Shaowen landed safely.
"Where is this?"
"A small fishing village? Isn't it Peach Blossom Spring? β
It was the red tassel and the red bean that spoke, that's right, this time it was Jiang Shaowen with the red tassel and the red bean, originally Jiang Shaowen wanted to take the second master and the herring fish to explore the secret realm.
But Qingyu is an elder brother, so he gave his chance to his sister, but his sister has two, and it is not appropriate to give the ticket to any of them, so the second master will carry forward his spirit.
In this way, the second master and herring were replaced with red tassels and red beans.
Jiang Shaowen also looked around when he heard this, his mind spun rapidly, and he extracted all the memories of exploring the secret realm of the Peach Blossom Land before. "This is a small fishing village on the outskirts of the Peach Blossom Spring." Saying that, Jiang Shaowen looked around again: "It is the beginning of the fisherman's march recorded in "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring". β
"So what do we do now?" Hongying has never been to the Peach Blossom Land Secret Realm, so she will not pick thorns as soon as she comes up, and she still obeys Jiang Shaowen's arrangement in everything.
"Let's build a ship." Jiang Shaowen said: "I remember the road, it's still morning, and I expect that we should be able to reach the Peach Blossom Garden before the night comes." β
Hongying frowned, and subconsciously said, "Don't you need to borrow from them?" β
They were referring to the fishermen, Jiang Shaowen looked up and saw the fishermen who had just gone out.
Jiang Shaowen thought about it and shook his head: "No." β
Without waiting for Hongying to question, Jiang Shaowen continued: "First, we don't have anything that we can exchange with them, they won't lend us the boat for no reason, and don't think that if we do a task, the fisherman can lend us his boat, the boat is the lifeblood of the fisherman, except for the grace of saving lives, otherwise I don't think about it." β
"Second, I expect that we will be a 'one-way ticket' this time, and the boat will just bring us in, so we don't need a good boat, and there is a high probability that we won't be able to return to them if we borrow the fisherman's boat, or that sentence The boat is the lifeblood of the fisherman, and I don't want to move."
If he had escorted the secret realm of the mission before, Jiang Shaowen might have done the trick, but this is different, Jiang Shaowen knows that this [Peach Blossom Land Secret Realm] is operating, so he will destroy a 'family' because of Jiang Shaowen's actions.
Breaking the word 'family', Jiang Shaowen is absolutely unwilling.
"Good, good." Hongying shook her head: "I know, you say, what are we going to do next?" β
Jiang Shaowen took a deep breath, he knew that he was a little out of shape just now.
"There's a lot of light wood a little to the south, and we're going to be able to tie it a little bit with rattan."
Hongying nodded and turned around to go, but Hongdou hesitated a little and didn't move.
"What's wrong, Red Bean?"
Hongdou paused and said his hesitation: "That, I just want to say that the Peach Blossom Garden was accidentally entered by a fisherman, so even if we make a good boat, the possibility of going in is zero." β
"Huh this?" Jiang Shaowen smiled and shook his head: "I know the route, I can take you in when the time comes." β
"Oh, that's good."
"Alright, let's split up." Saying that, Jiang Shaowen walked in the other direction: "You go to find wood, and I'll find some sturdy materials to make oars." β
"Okay, then you stay safe."
Saying that, Hongdou also followed Hongying, and Jiang Shaowen himself went directly to the small village, and what Jiang Shaowen said before also reminded him that it was impossible for the sleepwalking world to teleport him here for no reason, so there must be something he didn't notice.
When Jiang Shaowen came to the small village again, his mentality was a little different, after all, that time he was a little white in the sleepwalking world, although he was not a great god this time, but he was also a person who had experienced some secret realms.
Jiang Shaowen quickly aimed at an old woman and walked over quickly.
"Old man, may I ask ...... here?"
Before Jiang Shaowen finished speaking, the old man smiled and said, "Are you the one who came out of it?" β
Jiang Shaowen didn't know what 'inside' meant, but this must be related to the Peach Blossom Spring, so he said, "Is there anyone else?" β
"Yes." The old man smiled: "That's the old wood back then." β
"Old wood?" Jiang Shaowen was stunned for a moment, and then said, "He also comes from a place full of flowers?" β
Jiang Shaowen said very vaguely, but as long as you know the Peach Blossom Spring, you know where it is.
"You really are." The old man smiled: "He too, but I went to look for it later, but I didn't find anything." β
Jiang Shaowen nodded secretly: "Then do you know who has been here after that?" β
"After that?" The old man thought for a while: "No, let's just have the old wood." β
"The old man, do you know where that old wood is now?"
"Old wood?" The old man suddenly closed his eyes and muttered for a long time: "Lao Mu left many years ago. β
Let's go?
Before Jiang Shaowen could ask, the old man continued: "I said that I went back to a place full of flowers, but I didn't find him when I went to look for him." β
Jiang Shaowen: "Then old man, how do you know where I came from?" β
At a glance, it can be seen that Jiang Shaowen is 'from' the Peach Blossom Spring, and Jiang Shaowen always feels that things are not very simple.
What a coincidence!
The old man laughed when he heard this, and then pointed to his nose: "There is a fragrance on your body, and I have only smelled this smell on Lao Mu." β
Flavor?
Jiang Shaowen subconsciously raised his hand and sniffed it, but he didn't smell anything!
No, Jiang Shaowen suddenly thought of something.
It is the aroma of peach blossoms, which is the 'sequelae' of drinking peach blossom brew.
"Well, thank you, old man." Saying that, Jiang Shaowen smiled and nodded, and was about to turn around and walk out.
But the old man suddenly stopped him: "Boy, are you going back too?" β
Jiang Shaowen thought that this old man was also a 'dead fan' of Peach Blossom Spring, and when he was about to refuse, the old man said: "Don't be in a hurry to refuse, it's not that I'm going there, I'm also old, and I don't have time to go anywhere, I just want you to help me bring a message to Lao Mu." β
"It's been so many years, why haven't you come out to look for me?"
"That's it." The old man smiled: "I don't have a boat at home, but there is a better oar, if you want it, take it with you." β
"Well, I remember." Jiang Shaowen nodded: "Then I'll go first." β
Following the guidance of the old man, Jiang Shaowen found the oar, which was hung high on the wall, thinking that it could be kept away from moisture and damage such as insects and ants, so the whole oar looked pretty good.
Jiang Shaowen didn't leave directly, but walked around again and collected things about Lao Mu, but in the end, he didn't collect much, and the people who provided these clues were all old people, and young people didn't know that there was such a person.
Jiang Shaowen walked out of the small village a little distracted, and walked in the direction that he had given Hongying before.
"Yike, did you find the oar?"
"Found it." Jiang Shaowen took the oars out of the inventory: "I'm right, there is no boat at all, only wooden oars." β
As soon as he saw the wood pulp and red tassels, he knew that Jiang Shaowen had gone to a small village: "Did you get anything from going to the village?" β
"There is a person named Lao Mu, whose original name was Tao Mu, but I think it's a pseudonym." Saying that, Jiang Shaowen walked to Hongdou's side, took over the work in her hand, and said while working: "It's no surprise that he is a person from the Peach Blossom Garden, but after he came out for some reason, he went back." β
"Going back?"
Hongying was a little surprised, after all, according to Tao Yuanming's setting, the Peach Blossom Land should be very difficult to find.
"Yes." Jiang Shaowen nodded: "The people here all said that he went back, but they didn't know that the place was there." β
"How do you find that?" The red bean is a little dizzy.
"It's okay, let's go to Peach Blossom Village first."
Jiang Shaowen had already thought about it, after all, he even had to explore the secret realm task by himself.
Jiang Shaowen and the others moved very quickly, and made a simple raft in three or two clicks.
"Go, push down." As he spoke, Jiang Shaowen took a few logs, put them under the raft, and began to push the raft into the water little by little.
"Come up and try to see if you can hold on." Jiang Shaowen got on the raft very skillfully and made it to the middle.
The red tassels and red beans also climbed up.
Jiang Shaowen tried to shake it, but the raft did not change, and it was still floating steadily on the water.
"So be it." Jiang Shaowen said: "Go, go." β
As he spoke, Jiang Shaowen took out the wood pulp, and Hongying also took out a long pole and pressed against the shore.
Hongying pushed hard, and Jiang Shaowen and the others left the shore directly.
It was now around eleven o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Shaowen had identified the direction and began to paddle towards the complicated waterway little by little.
Now this time is the time for the fishermen to return, and Jiang Shaowen and others occasionally encounter three or two fishing boats along the way.
Although the fishermen were curious about Jiang Shaowen and the others' strange equipment, they all came out to fish before dawn, and they were busy all morning, even if they had the heart to watch the excitement, they didn't have the strength to follow Jiang Shaowen and the others.
"Then look." Jiang Shaowen said with a smile: "They don't have time to follow us, they are still busy going home to sleep." β
Hongying blushed a little, she didn't know the fisherman's work and rest time, so she was worried that the fisherman and the others would not be able to act well with her.
"So what's next?"
Jiang Shaowen directly led everyone to the end of a waterway, surrounded by tall plants, and they couldn't see the scene inside.
"Wait for me." Jiang Shaowen looked around, and after confirming everyone, he flew down and jumped off the raft.
Jiang Shaowen was very flexible, quickly swam to the bottom of the water, began to grope, and soon found a piece of rope.
That's it!
Jiang Shaowen was very happy, but he didn't stay and swam back to the water's edge quickly, and quickly took a breath.
"Yike, how's it going?".
"Found it." Jiang Shaowen: "After a while, when you see the plants in front of you, you will go, do you know if you go forward?" β
"Hmm."
