Chapter 518: Bathing

"By the way, has this Biquan River always been called Biquan River?"

Looking at the tribute that was thrown into the water like a falling stone, Song Jianqiu suddenly thought about it and asked.

"Hah! Did you just think of it? Xiaoyaoxian laughed: "In the past, Biquan River was not called Biquan River, but Huangquan!" ”

"Yellow Spring!" When Song Jianqiu heard this, he exclaimed, and sure enough, this river is the legendary Yellow Spring in the Yang World: "But why did it change its name to Biquan?" ”

"It's not because at the top of the upper reaches of this river, there is a female ghost!" Xiaoyao Xian said: "This female ghost calls herself the Biquan Ghost King, and the place where she lives is called Biquan Palace, and then the river is renamed Biquan River!" ”

"That's why you changed your name? Isn't there anyone against it? Song Jianqiu asked with some surprise.

"Yes! A lot of people are against it...... It can't be said that it is opposed, probably not convinced! Halfway through speaking, Xiaoyao Xian shook his head and said, "So, these unconvinced people are gone!" ”

Hearing this, Zhou Qingli and Song Jianqiu glanced at each other, and the surprise in their hearts can be imagined, although what Xiaoyao Xian said was an understatement, but if you think about it carefully, I am afraid that it is not so simple.

Listening to Xiaoyao Xian talk about the Biquan Ghost King, one of the four ghost kings who are no longer one of the four ghost kings, Song Jianqiu remembered that Zhao Jun said that the Biquan Ghost King didn't know whether he was dead or alive, so he was removed from the four ghost kings: "Is this Biquan Ghost King still alive?" ”

"This ...... I don't know! Xiaoyao Xian said with some hesitation: "There has been no news of her for hundreds of years!" However, the Huangquan envoy of the Biquan Ghost King is still guarding Biquan Palace, so now the area of Biquan Palace has become a forbidden area, and the territory that originally belonged to Biquan Palace has gradually been encroached upon. ”

It was the first time for Song Jianqiu to hear Xiaoyaoxian's tone be so hesitant, it seemed that she didn't know what the situation of the Biquan Ghost King was.

The three of them were chatting here, and on both sides of the Biquan River below, the tributes in the hands of the people had been thrown away, and then, with the sound of music, the eighteen strong men began to one end of the round wooden stick and pour the huge golden bull into the river.

With a whoosh, the huge golden bull slipped into the river, and finally fell into the water in an oblique way, gradually submerging by the river.

Seeing this scene, hundreds of thousands of people on both sides of the coast let out earth-shattering cheers.

In fact, there is a legend in the underworld, saying that the source of the Biquan River actually flows out of the bowl in Meng Po's hand, so some people call the water taken from the Biquan River Meng Po soup.

Throwing tributes into the river was actually a test of whether Meng Po would get angry and allow them to go into the water.

And the golden bull entering the water is the real tribute to Meng Po.

If the golden ox sank into the river, it means that Meng Po accepted their tribute and naturally allowed them to bathe in the water; If it doesn't sink, it means it's not allowed.

So far, there seems to have never been a situation where a golden bull would not sink to the bottom of the river, after all, this is just a story.

After the golden bull completely sank into the river, the people on both sides of the river cheered one by one and jumped into the water.

The water line of the Biquan River is very high, and it is only about half a meter away from the bank, even if it is a child, it dares to jump directly.

Zhou Qingli and Song Jianqiu stood on this high place, watching the heads of people on both sides of the river staggering, groups of people, jumping into the river one by one, the sound of plopping into the water was endless, and it seemed very lively.

Because this is only a section of the nearby city and several surrounding villages, the same scene is happening on the banks of the Biquan River.

Hundreds of thousands of people on both sides of the strait have drawn two long lines on both sides of the strait.

Once in the water, they did not dare to go to the center of the river, because they could not soak in the water for too long, otherwise they would probably be washed away.

They only stay at a maximum distance of four or five meters from the riverbank, swim for a while, and then return to the shore.

All the people jumped into the river with their clothes on, but the miraculous thing is that after entering the water, the clothes on their bodies melted like glutinous rice paper.

However, don't think about being able to see any naked springlight, because not only the clothes are missing, but even the soul body has become translucent after entering the water, just like those wandering spirits in the wilderness, and it looks like Zhou Qingli was in the void period at the beginning.

This situation only occurs when the soul body comes into contact with the river water, and does not appear if it is not soaked in it.

So for a while, on both sides of the river, a large number of people gathered, and they were all cheerful, to be honest, the first time I saw it, I did feel a little scary.

Zhou Qingli Song Jianqiu and Xiaoyao Immortal did not join in, because Xiaoyao Immortal said that as long as it is a person after the fourfold soul refining method, he can come at any time of the year, so the scene below is very lively, but the three of them are too lazy to go down and huddle with a group of people.

What's more, so many people crowded together, in fact, there is a certain danger, every year after participating in the Biquan River bathing, there will always be some people missing, there is a great possibility, it is because of the time in the water is too long, the result is too many people, can not go ashore in time, so it is integrated into the Biquan River water.

This is obviously dangerous, or this is why every year on the Meng Po Festival, a large number of people will not follow and go to the Biquan River to bathe, but choose to wash at home.

In addition to not knowing that bathing in the Biquan River is only effective in the river, I am afraid that it is also a certain danger, which makes people daunted.

After all, who can be sure that every time you enter the water, you will be able to go ashore in time?

Song Jianqiu thought silently, looking at the scene below, she saw Zhao Jun's family with sharp eyes; Zhao Jun and Xie Minhui, a husband and wife, led their son Zhao Xiaobao into the water with the crowd.

According to Zhao Jun's plan, after this Meng Po Festival, Zhao Xiaobao can no longer play freely every day as before, but has to go to school to read and write, and prepare for joining the sect family to cultivate in the future.

He hoped that his son would be able to reach the fourfold soul refining method like Zhou Qingli and Song Jianqiu in the future, or become stronger, and then have a chance.

This change in thinking probably happened because I was on the road before, and I heard Xiaoyao Immortal say a lot of things that ordinary people didn't know, right?

This family of three was very happy in the water, and this scene couldn't help but remind her of her home.

Dad, Mom, and an older brother......

Although she has only been adopted by the Song family for half a year, her feelings for this family are no better than those children who have their own families and have grown up in the family since childhood.

It can even be said that her feelings for the Song family are more sincere and warmer, because she is a person who has lost her home.

People always have to lose once, and only after having it again, do they know how to cherish it.

At this time, she can especially understand the thoughts of those who want to open up the yin and yang channel, for the sake of missing this family!

Of course, there will definitely be some people with ulterior motives who are playing some bad ideas, but in the end, most people's thoughts should be so simple!

"Let's go!"

After looking at it for a moment, Xiaoyao Xian said.

She got up from the ground, drank the water from the red gourd, and turned to leave.

Zhou Qingli and Song Jianqiu took a few last looks, and when they saw that Zhao Jun's family had landed safely, they were also relieved, so they followed and walked behind.

The direction in which the three of them were heading was not the way back to Poshan Village.

As I said before, after staying until the Meng Po Festival, the three of them will leave, and now the Meng Po Festival can be said to have passed, and the rest of the program is just to celebrate after returning to the village.

Xiaoyaoxian was not very interested in this, and Zhou Qingli and Song Jianqiu were not people who liked to join in the fun, so after watching the key bathing in the Biquan River, the three of them planned to leave.

This left a little suddenly, and Zhao Jun's family was not notified, but he also left a letter at home, and when Zhao Jun's family returned, they could see it.

After all, they are going to part, Zhou Qingli and Song Jianqiu are very grateful for Zhao Jun's help, if it weren't for his tips and suggestions, the two of them would have to be blind in the underworld for a longer time to understand what to do, not to mention, the other party saved them once.

It's just that the two of them can't help Zhao Jun now, so they can only have the opportunity to come back in the future to repay their gratitude.

Xiaoyao Xian walked in front, and a few steps behind him were Zhou Qingli and Song Jianqiu.

The two seemed to have deliberately slowed down their pace and opened up such a distance.

Song Jianqiu could vaguely guess what Zhou Qingli wanted to say, but she didn't ask.

After a long time, Zhou Qingli broke the silence and said with some hesitation: "Jianqiu, I'm ...... Want to get away for a while! ”

"Hmm!"

For this sudden sentence, Song Jianqiu seemed to have expected it, hooked back the long hair on his sideburns with his right hand, hummed softly, and nodded.

Although he knew that Song Jianqiu could probably guess why he left, he still asked: "Do you know why I left?" ”

"Yes!" Song Jianqiu's big eyes looked at Zhou Qingli and said, "You want to go to the Soul Painting Pavilion to have a look, right?" ”

"Hmm!" Zhou Qingli nodded, looked into the distance, and said, "I think that the soul painting technique of the Soul Painting Pavilion is very similar to the soul painting method of Dragon Tiger Mountain, I want to go and see it!" ”

Song Jianqiu had actually expected this, because after Xiaoyao Immortal said that the Soul Painting Pavilion was located, Zhou Qingli had asked in detail about the direction and location of the Soul Painting Pavilion, if he didn't have any ideas, there was naturally no need to ask in such detail.

However, what she didn't know was that Zhou Qingli wanted to leave her, in addition to the reason that he wanted to go to the Soul Pavilion, there was actually another reason; He realized that his feelings for Song Jianqiu had become very complicated and entangled, and the age of the other party was also one of the reasons why he was entangled.

If he had been by Song Jianqiu's side like this, it was estimated that he would never be able to finish his struggles and couldn't figure out what he was thinking in his heart.

Therefore, he plans to leave for a while, at least to distance the distance between the two, so that he can more clearly figure out what kind of relationship he wants to have with Song Jianqiu, instead of being a mess like now, knowing nothing except entanglement.

If this is not the case, if he goes to the Soul Pavilion, he can tell Song Jianqiu that the other party will definitely not refuse.

Zhou Qingli looked at Song Jianqiu, her eyes revealed a look that made the latter feel strange and difficult to look at directly, just by looking at each other, she felt a panic for no reason, and felt a sense of oppression.

She couldn't help but stop, and without paying attention, Zhou Qingli was two steps ahead, and then she came back to her senses, stood still, turned around and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"No, nothing!" Song Jianqiu faintly felt that Zhou Qingli seemed to have made some decision, and the look in her eyes just now was too strange, making her dare not think about it.

Song Jianqiu walked a few steps, and after being side by side with Zhou Qingli again, the two continued to move forward.

"What are your plans?" Zhou Qingli asked.

Both of them understood that it was obviously impossible to return to the yang world in the short term, so the original plan was to go together, like Xiaoyao Xian, wandering around the underworld, constantly improving their strength, and at the same time, increasing their knowledge, and finding a way to return to the yang world.

Like the four ghost kings do, it is obviously not possible, the passage that the other party wants to open is obviously not ordinary, and the purpose is naturally ill-intentioned, but if it is just a small passage that only passes through one person at a time, will it be simpler?

This is the basic idea of the two.

It's just that I didn't expect that the plan couldn't catch up with the changes, and now that Zhou Qingli is going to leave alone, then Song Jianqiu may also change the plan, right?

"Probably...... It's the same as the original plan! Song Jianqiu said: "Travel around first, strengthen your cultivation, and then find a way to return to the yang world!" ”

"Hmm!" Zhou Qingli nodded and said, "My goal is the same as yours!" ”

Oh, yes! Even if they are separated, the ultimate goal of the two is still the same, but Zhou Qingli already has a clear goal, and Song Jianqiu is still a little confused.

The two were speechless for a while, and the atmosphere fell silent.

For some reason, at the thought of being separated, the two of them each had some indescribable complicated feelings in their hearts, although they both knew that this parting would definitely meet again in the future, but after all, they couldn't help but feel a little sad.

It was another silent road, and Zhou Qingli suddenly stopped.

Song Jianqiu realized something, then stopped, and turned to look at him.

"So be it! I'm leaving! Zhou Qing left his mouth and said.

He felt that if he continued to stay, he was afraid that the atmosphere would become more and more reluctant, so it was better to leave as soon as possible.

"Hmmm! Good bye! Song Jianqiu nodded and said goodbye to him.

"Goodbye!" Zhou Qingli stared at Song Jianqiu deeply, as if he wanted to engrave the other party's appearance in his mind, and then turned around and walked in the other direction, gradually walking away, and finally disappeared.
