Holding the torch and looking around, Xia Qing made a bold move, sat down on the stone platform, and picked up the fishing rod on the side.

It is easy to understand that sitting firmly on the Diaoyu Tai is likely to mean sitting down on the stone platform, and next, is it to fish with a fishing rod? Could it be that you want to catch a big fish and sit on the back of the fish to cross the big river in front of you?

Xia Qing secretly guessed that the fishing rod was a little scary, and Bai Sensen's seemed to be made of some kind of bone. The line is very long, about five meters long, and the elasticity is also very good, I don't know what material it is. The rod is already there, the line is intact, but what about the bait?

Xia Qing searched carefully, and really found something, but it was not a fishing bait, but a piece of sandalwood. There is a line of small words engraved next to it, 'Stagnant water does not cross the living, the living borrow the way, burn incense to guide the way'.

"Dead water doesn't cross the living?"

Xia Qing raised the torch and found that the river was not flowing, as if it was a pool of stagnant water. The water is gray, and there are no fish in sight, and not a single dead branch can float, so can there be fish in such a place?

Xia Qing was even more puzzled, and threw the empty fishhook into the water, but there was no response. After waiting for more than half an hour, I couldn't see a single fish, not even a bubble;

Xia Qing took out a piece of mutton jerky from his backpack, hung it on the fish hook, and waited patiently after throwing the fish hook into the water. This was two hours, and there was still no response.

"Stagnant water does not cross the living, the living borrow the way, burn incense to guide the way......"

Xia Qing muttered, picked up the sandalwood on the side of the fishing rod, put it on the burning torch and tried it several times, but it couldn't be lit. This place is full of weirdness, even this little sandalwood is very weird.

Xia Qing took out Dugu Wild Fox's notes and turned to the back page of the fish's intestines, but he still couldn't see what the words behind 'sit and wait' were. But it can be inferred from the diary that Dugu Wild Fox has indeed been here, and has successfully passed the Diaoyutai level. Sit and wait, just sit here and wait after doing something, so what did the Dugu Wild Fox do?

Xia Qing faintly felt that the key to breaking through the impasse was on this sandalwood.

On the surface, this is just an ordinary sandalwood, but when you open the Ninefold Demon Pupil, you can find that the runes on the sandalwood are layered on top of each other, blessing a powerful prohibition. Burning incense leads the way, sandalwood must be lit, and the open flame on the torch is not lit, so what other way is there?

Xia Qing pondered, thought about it carefully, and suddenly his heart moved, silently reciting the secret of longevity, and the three hearts in the dantian were burning. Then, a trace of fire slowly rose from the palm of his hand, and the sandalwood was brought up, and finally it was lit, and smoke came out.

"It's a success! This sandalwood really needs to be lit with heartfire!"

"Next, just sit back and wait!"

Xia Qingfu was so happy that he quickly threw the hook into the water again.

The river did not react at all, it was so gray that nothing could be seen, no fish could be seen, not even bubbles, and it seemed that it had failed.

Xia Qing calmed down, sat on the stone platform and waited patiently. Fishing requires patience, and all you need to do is wait, and sitting still may be the best way! Sure enough, it didn't take long for the hook to sink suddenly, and it seemed that a fish had finally taken the bait. Xia Qing hurriedly held the fishing rod, feeling more and more heavy, and the fishing rod quickly bent up, as if he had caught a big fish.

"Come out, I've finally waited for you!"

Xia Qing was excited and began to slowly reel in the fishing line. The surface of the water rippled, setting off a circle of waves, and a huge black shadow was gradually faintly visible under the surface of the water, as if a whale had been caught. The rod rattles and is about to break at any moment.

Xia Qing stood up, worried that the fishing rod would not be able to hold on, and silently prayed that the fishing rod would not break, and even if it was broken, it would be broken after catching the big fish. Maybe it was the good quality of the rod, or maybe his prayers worked, and he gritted his teeth and persevered until the end. With a bang, the big fish finally came out of the water.

Xia Qing, who was standing on the stone platform, was suddenly stunned.

It wasn't a big fish, it was a canopy boat. What's even more strange is that there is also a boatman who is black from head to toe standing on the boat, with a black coat and a big black hat, and he can't see his facial features clearly.

After waiting for so long, he actually fished a boat and a boatman, which is simply ridiculous! Xia Qing felt like he was in a dream.

The black-clothed boatman looked up and smiled, revealing Bai Sensen's teeth, and underneath the big black hat was a skull without any breath of life. This boatman is shocked to be a skeleton in a cloak!

Xia Qing took a step back, feeling indescribably weird and terrifying.

The skeleton boatman didn't speak, and smiled evilly and stretched out his hand to point at the sandalwood in Xia Qing's hand, Xia Qing stepped forward and handed the sandalwood over. The skeleton boatman took the sandalwood, put it in one of the incense burners in the bow of the boat, and pointed to the deck. Xia Qing understood, gritted his teeth and flew up.

The canopy swayed, and then began to glide on the water.

The skeleton boatman rowed slowly, carrying Xia Qing slowly away from the stone platform. Xia Qing raised the torch and looked around curiously, the surroundings were gray, the fire could not shine far, there were no fish, and there was lifelessness everywhere. It's just that every seven or eight meters, there are one or two stone pillars looming out of the water, and it seems that there was a pontoon bridge here a long time ago, but then I don't know why it was destroyed.

"It's strange, why is the Fish Dragon Gate like this?"

"Where is the Ethereal Fairy who said that the Ichthyosaurus True Monarch is, and where will the ethereal movement of General Li Tian bring the Ichthyosaurus Gate?"

Xia Qing muttered in his heart, this time he came to the Fish Dragon Gate, of course, the most important thing is to experience, hoping to increase his knowledge by exploring the ruins of the Immortal Kingdom, and then break through the second life ban to cultivate to the Yuan Shen Realm. Secondly, it is also for the "Ethereal Movement" left by the Ethereal Fairy, I want to see what kind of mysteries or supernatural powers the Ethereal Fairy left behind.

After many days, the things in the Ethereal City still feel like a dream, a very real but dreamy dream. Until now, Xia Qing couldn't believe that only by finding the ethereal movement might be able to prove that something like that had indeed happened in history.

Xia Qing was a little distracted, for some reason, and a little sad, and witnessed the destruction of the Ethereal City in his dreams. Perhaps, that is also the destruction of the entire Ancient Immortal Kingdom. The destruction of the Ethereal City, the suicide of the Ethereal Fairy, and the madness and enchantment of the Guangling Sword Immortal are all regretted every time I think about it. Sometimes, Xia Qing would always wonder if the Gu Immortal Kingdom would continue until now, if cultivation would not be so difficult, and whether Zhongzhou would have many disasters.

A trace of coldness came from the soles of his feet, Xia Qing, who was losing his mind, woke up, looked down, and found that the awning boat had entered the water at some point and began to sink slowly.

The skeleton boatman remained silent, except for an evil smile on his face. The bottom of the boat was already in the water, and he was still rowing slowly, looking unhurried. The front was still gray, and I didn't know when I would have to paddle before I could land. The skeleton boatman smiled and pointed to the sandalwood, which burned so fast that before he knew it, only half of it was left.

As soon as you get on the boat, the water starts to enter, and the faster the sandalwood burns, the faster the water will enter!

Once the sandalwood is completely burned, the ship will sink!

Xia Qing understood what the skeleton boatman meant, and his heart became nervous. In the blink of an eye, the water was up to the neck of the foot and then to the knees.

Boarding the canopy boat does not mean passing the level, on the contrary, before you know it, there is no way back, and the real test has just begun!
