Chapter 968: Comfort
After this blocker was solved, the crowd only hesitated a little and then boarded the boat one after another.
After accommodating more than a dozen people in the hull, the boat sank straight away, and the draft was a little deeper, coupled with the aftermath of the swaying, there was river water pouring in on both sides of the ship.
The river was so cold that a few of them were lying unsteadily on the side of the boat after getting off the boat, and the water splashed on their faces—
The chill was like a thin needle, piercing them with a scream:
"Ahh
Droplets of water slid down her cheeks, almost freezing the blood everywhere she went, making you shiver.
"It's cold!"
Several of the people who were splashed with water shivered and shouted.
Uncle Wu reminded:
"Everyone should pay attention, this river water is very cold, and once it touches it, it will cause frostbite to people."
When he said this, someone must have suffered a loss before, so he will be reminded at this time.
As soon as the others heard his words, they couldn't help but retreat to the middle of the cabin, only the few people who were splashed by the river covered their faces and gasped, and their feet rubbed against the bottom of the cabin, proving that what Uncle Wu said was true.
The movement of the crowd made the black ship shake even more, and the women in the boat screamed, and the children cried more urgently, sounding like there were at least two or three childish children.
Song Daochang suppressed the shock in his heart because of Song Qing's small actions, and turned his attention to the river.
He turned sideways to look out of the boat, and saw that the river was rippling, and it was as black as ink in the dim light, and he couldn't see anything clearly.
In the midst of the turmoil, a cold smoke rose from the surface of the river, turning into a gloomy black gas, and then merged with the fog that lingered on the river, forming a fog that obscured the sky and the sun.
"Evil breath?"
Although Daochang Song had already known that the yin in Shen Zhuang was powerful, he was also frightened when he saw that the yin qi in the river was so heavy.
With a movement of his fingers, he pinched his fingers a few times, and then his heart sank:
"This is the Yongqing River."
Speaking of this, the old Taoist priest touched his waist with his backhand and found a pitch-black gossip bronze instrument.
There is a pointer inside the bronze instrument, and the surrounding area is engraved with dense runes.
As he punched his spell into it, the pointer began to spin wildly without wind.
There is a rapid 'ding' sound between frictions, which stops after a few clicks.
"Located above a formation in the south......" The old Taoist priest said something in his mouth, and at the same time pinched his fingers, and his complexion changed greatly after counting:
"The Land of Extreme Yin!"
Everyone didn't know what was going on, but from the old Taoist's demeanor and tone, they could tell that it was not a good word, but they didn't want to ask much because they didn't understand.
On the contrary, Song Changqing did not have these concerns, and asked directly:
"Master, what is the Land of Extreme Yin?"
The old Taoist priest fixed his mind and explained:
"I told you that the Yongqing River occupies the north and belongs to the yang water; The inner canal is in the lower south, which belongs to the yin water. ”
At the midpoint where the two waters meet, the entire Shenzhuang is enclosed, so the unique topography of Shenzhuang is formed.
If it is the yang energy of the Yongqing River, Shenzhuang will be prosperous; If it is affected by the yin energy of the inner canal, it may raise a peerless evil star that will plague the Three Realms.
"This place belongs to the Yongqing River, and it has the power of yang and water, but at this time, it is full of yin, and it seems to be reversed by the yin of the inner canal——"
There was a hidden worry in his eyes, and his brows were furrowed:
"Yang is prosperous and yin is declining, it can be seen that the devil is rampant, which is already a big bad luck."
The others heard it in a fog, but they understood the words 'Yang is prosperous and Yin is declining, and it is very unlucky', and several people were immediately frightened and cried.
Inside the cabin, a woman with a child in her arms poked her head out timidly and looked at everyone with some uneasiness.
"Alas!" The old Taoist priest sighed, "It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided." ”
When he said this, he asked again:
"Changqing, before leaving, did you send the letter I asked you to send?"
When the old Taoist priest said this, there was hope in his eyes, which invisibly put a lot of pressure on Song Changqing.
"Send it." Song Changqing nodded, and then seemed a little uneasy:
"But master, that letter has neither an address nor a recipient, I don't know where it was sent or who it fell into, and it only wrote Shen Zhuang's covenant in it......"
Can such a strange letter really reach the person who promised it back then?
Song Changqing didn't ask the latter words, but Song Daochang could guess the unfinished meaning of his words.
Song Daochang was silent and did not speak, and Song Changqing said again:
"That's, that's what you said, the old friend that the ancestor made back then?"
"Yes." The old Taoist priest was originally quite confident, but by this time his mind had begun to be disordered, and after hearing the apprentice's question, he did not hide it, nodded and said:
"Back then, he had an appointment with your ancestor in Shenzhuang, and he agreed to send such a letter when he went to Shenzhuang again."
The old Taoist priest paused:
"Your ancestor also asked him about his name, but he smiled and said nothing, only said that the letter was sent to a destined person, he is related to our Yunhu Mountain, and he will definitely see him again, and he is very sure, as long as he writes these four words, he will know."
At this point, the old Taoist priest's master is inconvenient to ask any more.
Before the immortal left, the old Taoist thought that this person was probably powerful, and believed in his words, and finally ordered his apprentice to do so.
Song Daochang originally had great trust in the deceased master, but at this time, there were accidents one after another, and when he arrived in Shenzhuang, he saw that the yin qi came against the yang, and Yongqing River also turned yang into yin.
And when the old friend who had made an appointment with his master did not show up, he also had some doubts about whether such a letter could be sent.
"Ahh
So far, there is no turning back from the bow.
"No matter whether this old friend will have an accident or not, it is a matter of fate between you and Qingxiao, this trip to Shenzhuang, I have to go through it no matter what, it's a big deal to fall here!"
He was a little frustrated at first, and then when his eyes fell on Song Changqing and Song Qingxiao, that trace of hesitation disappeared and turned into perseverance.
Song Changqing's lips moved, and a trace of strange light seemed to flash quickly in his eyes, so fast that Song Qingxiao had no time to catch it, and he had already hidden it.
"Hit someone—beat someone—"
While the two masters and apprentices were talking, there was a sudden panicked sound of a woman in the cabin, as well as the sound of everyone picking up the broken things, obviously these people were saving the man who was kicked by Song Qingxiao in the cabin.
Judging from the cries and shouts of the people, the man seemed to be in a bad condition, and he had not yet woken up.
The old Taoist's expression changed, and when he heard this, he couldn't help glaring at Song Qingxiao with some anger, and taught her a lesson:
"Little girl! What did I say? Teach you magic and martial arts, in order to keep you fit and healthy, and hope that you will survive the disaster safely. ”
"Master, don't scold the little junior sister."
Before Song Qingxiao could speak, Song Changqing couldn't stand anymore, and immediately stood in front of her:
"She's only in a hurry, and she's measured."
"You're not used to her!" It's good that he doesn't intercede, but when he pleads, the old Taoist priest is even more angry:
"It's because of how much protection you have, I raised this little girl to the height of the sky, and when she was in the mountains, she didn't know how to work hard when she drew talismans and practiced the law, and she was going to beat people at this time."
The more he spoke, the louder he became:
"Since you want to stand up for her, after Shen Zhuang's affairs are over, this account will be counted on your head and you will be punished together!"
"Hey, hey." Song Changqing understood his temperament, knew that he seemed fierce at this moment, but in fact, he had softened his heart, and let out two honest laughs at the moment, but his eyes were a little red:
"If something happens to Shen Zhuang, we can go back together, and the master can beat me and scold me."
"You ......"
Song Daochang's expression froze, and he wanted to say something, but in the end, he flicked his sleeves fiercely:
"I don't care about you anymore."
After he finished speaking, he turned his head and walked back to the cabin, obviously preparing to save people.
As soon as the others saw the old Taoist priest leaving, they also hurriedly followed, squeezed into the cabin one by one, and immediately crowded the inside of the cabin, leaving only Song Changqing and Song Qingxiao outside the ship.
"Little junior sister."
Song Changqing looked at the old Taoist priest's back as if he had fallen down for a moment, as if he was stunned for a while, and then he took a deep breath, forced his spirit, and when he turned around, he already showed a smile:
"You weren't scared by the master, were you?"
"Nope."
Song Qingxiao shook his head and walked to the side of the boat.
Song Changqing carried a huge package on his back, followed behind her step by step, and explained softly:
"The master didn't mean to kill you, his old man was just a little worried and wanted you to accumulate luck."
The Longhu Mountain sect uses divination and hexagram as the sect inheritance, and the people in the sect follow the way of heaven and attach great importance to luck.
In the eyes of the old Taoist priest, doing good deeds and accumulating virtue will definitely turn into luck, and maybe he can save his life in a critical moment.
Shen Zhuang and his party are so dangerous, the two apprentices he brought with him are in calamity, and the divination hexagram before the trip is not lucky, he naturally hopes to do more good deeds and accumulate more yin virtue.
The reason why he frequently made shots along the way, and even soft-hearted agreed to save everyone, was not only because the cultivators saw uneven roads, but also because they wanted to do some good deeds in order to seek God's blessing.
"I'm not angry, my cultivation is not as good as one-tenth of the master......" Song Changqing was afraid that Song Qingxiao would be unhappy, and explained back and forth:
"So the trip to Shenzhuang, the master is under a lot of pressure."
Song Qingxiao's gaze fell on the surface of the river, and what the old Taoist priest couldn't see was very clear in her eyes.
There is a large amount of dense black gas at the bottom of the water, like intertwined hair, spreading the river water into pitch black.
The dense yin qi made the river water carry a vicious aura, and it was extremely aggressive, which was somewhat similar to the situation of the lake in the Nine Dragons Cave in the Yulun Void Realm Trial scene that day.
It's just that compared to the lake water in the Nine Dragon Caves, the concentration of Yin Qi here is far less than one percent of the water in the Nine Dragon Caves.
However, the water area of the lake in the Kowloon Cave is far from being comparable to a river that runs through the whole country.
The sacrifice of all the women of the Yichang clan back then, coupled with the thousand-year-old grievances of Kowloon, formed such a small lake where yin and evil gathered.
On the contrary, the area of this Yongqing River is not known to be many times larger, but the yin qi is so rich, it is conceivable that the power of this Shen Zhuang's yin soul is no less than the yin and resentful qi of the Nine Dragons.
Song Qingxiao thought of this, and couldn't help but faintly feel a little bad.
In addition to the threat that may appear at any time without self in Dongqin, it seems that Shen Zhuang's ghost is not trivial.
It stands to reason that she has the Qing Ying Order in hand, and this thing is a yin and evil nemesis.
But her divine consciousness sank into her divine soul, and the Qing Ying Ling was being nurtured and sleeping in her divine soul.
Since the last trial, after the Qing Ying Order successively absorbed the evil qi of the abyss territory, there has been no movement, just like the silver wolf, as if it wants to completely absorb the evil qi absorbed by it through sleep.
If it can fully fuse these powers, the power of the Qing Ying Order after waking up should be even higher.
But this also means that in this round of trials, it is very likely that it will not be able to help itself and become an ornament!
Song Qingxiao didn't give up and stimulated it with her divine sense, but the token body was wrapped in a black aura, and with the stimulation of her divine sense, it rolled slightly in her divine soul, and she had no intention of waking up at all.
“…… In fact, the master raised you from childhood to adulthood, treating you as a daughter, don't look at him scolding people very fiercely, in fact, you are the most painful. ”
Song Changqing thought that her silence was for Song Daochang, and she was still trying her best to explain:
"He may be going in here to save people, and he doesn't want others to misunderstand you."
He was a tall and strong man, but at this time he showed a pitiful expression, looking at her expression cautiously, as if he was afraid that she was still angry.
"I know." Song Qingxiao sighed, her divine sense was dual-minded, even if she didn't enter the cabin, she could understand what was happening inside.
"I'm not angry."
Song Changqing's gaze fell on her face, his expression gradually became serious, and he looked at her for a long time, until Song Qingxiao frowned, and was about to speak, he suddenly opened his mouth and showed a big smile:
"Qingxiao, Senior Brother only hopes that you are doing well."
"......" She was slightly stunned when she heard this.
In her life, whether it was when she was studying, after work, during trials, or later after entering the divine prison, she also met countless people and said a lot to her.
There is reprimand, contempt, jealousy, defense, murder, and gratitude.
In the trial scene, there are people who depend on her, such as the group of fugitive clansmen who escaped from the horror camp, Pinluo, etc., and there are also those who have hopes for her, such as Agree Chang, monks, etc.
But like Song Changqing, the expectation of her is just that she wants her to be well, which inevitably makes Song Qingxiao feel a little weird.
His silence at this moment, that gaze seemed to have seen through a lot of things, almost making Song Qing feel that he might have seen that he was not the original 'little junior sister'.
But he didn't say anything in the end, just reached out:
"Okay......"
His hand seemed to touch the center of her eyebrows, but she was very defensive, and before his fingertips could touch, she turned her head sideways to avoid it.
Song Changqing's hand fell into the air, with a disappointed look on his face, but the next moment he smiled again:
"Since you are not angry, don't frown, what's the big deal about Shen Zhuang's affairs, Senior Brother will protect you! Laugh one! ”
Song Qing's small eyelids jumped, and he didn't say this, but asked:
"By the way, senior brother, the old man mentioned by the master, I don't know if he has left a name and surname?"
In the eyes of the old Taoist, the old man in his master's mouth has reached the realm of channeling gods.
With the cultivation of the old Taoist priest in the infant realm, he can be regarded by his elders as a reborn god first-class, at least in terms of cultivation, it may be extraordinary.
For some reason, Song Qingxiao thought of the selflessness of Dongqin, which had not yet appeared.
With his cultivation in the Void Realm, in the eyes of the people of Yunhu Mountain, he is indeed like a 'god man'.
There are only two participants in this trial, and the clues of the 'White Head Covenant' have not yet surfaced, and Dong Qin Wuyi doesn't know when he will appear.
For Song Qingxiao, this person is extremely dangerous, and his presence adds a shadow to the mission that has remained uncertain to this day.
The old Taoist priest mentioned in his mouth is also an unknown existence, and in a certain respect, it is an uncertain factor.
According to her speculation, if this old person is Dong Qin Wu Self, and according to the previous trial rules, the trialists are very likely to belong to the hostile camp, and Dong Qin Wu Self is diametrically opposed to her mission.
As a result, Song Qingxiao found a lot of useful things.
