Time flies.

Two months later, at noon.

Adjacent to Xiangyang, the water and the sky are the same color of the water, sparkling, from a distance, as if covered with a layer of silver.

On the north shore, on a large clean rock, sat a man in a cloak and a hat on his head, fishing.

This person is none other than Cao Yi.

After a song in the forest that day, Cao Yiwan refused Cao Cao's retention, left Taihang Mountain, and within a month, visited seven famous mountains in a row to find the inheritance of the pre-Qin Qi practitioners mentioned in the mission.

But I turned over the mountains one by one, and I didn't find any clues. It was as if in this world, there had never been a group of pre-Qin qi practitioners.

Thinking that the opportunity was not enough, Cao Yi no longer insisted on it, and went south with a traveling mentality, and did a lot of things on the way, but it was not as good as he wanted afterwards.

After killing robbers and bandits, it was later discovered that they were oppressed too much by the vicious and powerful landlords and local officials.

used charms to save people, and was regarded as a remnant of Zhang Jiao by powerful landlords and officials, and ordinary people also helped the government shout and kill.

……

But it's not without its gains.

In the deep mountains and old forests, a lot of natural treasures were found, hundreds of years of Ganoderma lucidum, hundreds of years of old ginseng, unknown years of He Shou Wu, and unnamed elixirs...... As many as sixty or seventy plants were harvested, Shengsheng raised the elixir collected in Taihang Mountain to a higher level.

Seven days ago, Cao Yi came to the deep mountains and forests outside Xiangyang City, strayed into a deep valley with a large amount of bamboo, and used bamboo to build a bamboo house and lived.

In addition to cultivation every day, it is used to make flutes and learn from others on the way to come.

This kind of life is boring, and Cao Yi occasionally comes to the north shore of the water where schools of fish gather to fish to relieve his boredom.

Of course, not today. Today, for another purpose.

There was a sound of shredded footsteps.

Cao Yi knew that he was an old fisherman without looking at it.

In the past few days of fishing, I have encountered several times.

The old fisherman, sixty years old, short in stature, with dark and wrinkled skin, holding a fishing basket in his left hand and a fishing rod in his right hand, looked at Cao Yi's jade-like face under the hat, and the robe with a good texture inside the robe, and said with a puzzled face: "There is a matter of old decay, which has not been understood, please Xiaolangjun to solve your doubts." ”

Cao Yi turned his head and a smile appeared on his face: "Old man, may I ask"

The old fisherman stretched out his hand and pointed to the hook that was less than a foot above the water, and asked, "Why is Xiao Langjun's hook straight?" ”

Cao Yi also did not explain, and dropped the hook into the water.

After a while, the fishing charm swayed.

"Can't be caught"

The old fisherman shook his head.

Cao Yi raised the fishing rod, and a large fat crucian carp was taken out of the water, constantly splashing.

"This, how is this done!"

The old fisherman's face was full of shock.

Cao Yi looked up and saw that it was already in the middle of the day.

He put away the rod, put the fish away, emptied the fish in the basket, and walked in the direction of the ferry with the empty basket.

Since it was not far from the ferry, it didn't take long to arrive.

I don't know if it's because Cao Cao's army went south, but there are many people who are ready to cross the river.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, seven ships came from the south shore.

"Hey, why are there five more ships on this trip?"

"Didn't you see it, it's the ship of the navy, it must be here to pick up a nobleman?"

……

The crowd whispered.

After a while, seven ships from the south came to a place less than fifty feet from the ferry.

At this moment, there was a faint sound of horses' hooves from behind.

After Cao Yi waited for a while, he turned around and saw dozens of people riding horses along the official road slowly coming this way.

for the first three.

On the left, a crane is wearing a scarf on his head, holding a feather fan in his hand, and he is not very old, just twenty-five or sixteen years old.

In the middle, the appearance is dignified, the earlobes are slightly larger, and he looks like he is in his forties.

On the right, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, white horse and silver spear.

"Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei, Zhao Yun"

I am here today to wait for these three people.

There are two reasons, one is that Zhuge Liang is the first person he has seen with a thin aura since he came to this world, and the person behind Zhuge Liang is very likely to be the clue of the pre-Qin Qi practitioner.

The other is that the rules for pre-human manifestations have changed. You need to have enough people to get the reward.

In less than ten breaths, the three of them came not far away and dismounted.

Liu Bei looked at the boats sailing on the river, and his face was worried: "Cao Cao's army went south and arrived in Xinye in a few days, but Jingsheng was seriously ill at this time. ”

Zhuge Liang frowned lightly and said: "According to what was said in the letter, Liu Jingzhou is afraid that it will not work, and the lord must beware of Kuai Yue, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others on this trip." ”

Liu Bei shook his head: "Kuai Yidu is a famous person in Jingxiang, so he won't do such a thing." ”

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan a few times and said, "Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, the lord forgot about the Tanxi Prancing Horse." ”

Liu Bei fell silent.

Hearing the conversation between the two, Cao Yi looked at the approaching boat, and there was a hint of strangeness on his face.

Soon the first boat came to the ferry. A rope was tied to a stake by the sailor, and a long plank was lowered from the ship.

"A certain first-in-the-first place"

"Get out of the way"

……

A group of people squeezed upwards like a vegetable market to grab something.

Cao Yi didn't move.

Soon, a second ship docked, and another group of people squeezed on it.

Cao Yi was about to get on the boat, when a warm voice sounded: "Is there still plenty of room for a certain boat?" ”

Cao Yi stopped, turned his head to look at Liu Bei who came over, and arched his hand: "Thank you"

Liu Bei returned the salute, and a gentle smile appeared on his face that was still handsome in his old age, which made people feel close.

A moment later, a third ship (belonging to the Navy) docked.

"Strategist, Zilong"

Liu Bei greeted Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun first.

"How can there be a reason why the lord didn't go up, and I waited for the first time"

Zhuge Liang objected.

"The military advisor is reasonable"

Zhao Yun agreed.

Liu Bei had no choice but to get on the boat first.

Zhuge Liang second.

Zhao Yun is the third.

Cao Yi is the fourth.

Behind were some of the soldiers and horses that came with Liu Bei.

Soon, the ship left the ferry before the other sailors.

Cao Yi, who was standing on the side of the deck, swept his eyes and found that a sailor soldier had a dodging gaze, and his hands trembled slightly.

"Hey, who left this remnant!"

Liu Bei's voice sounded.

Cao Yi heard the sound and looked.

In one corner of the deck, there is a pear wood table with chessboards, chess pieces, and chess boxes.

"Kuroko has no solution."

Liu Bei's voice sounded again.

No solution?

Cao Yi, who has a little love for Go, stepped forward. After looking at it for a while, he said, "It can be solved."

"Oh, how?"

Liu Bei looked puzzled.

Cao Yi picked it up, a sunspot, and put it on the chessboard.

"How can you play chess like this, this, um"

Liu Bei didn't finish speaking, and he was stunned.

The original dead chess not only solved the dilemma, but also could easily win.

Cao Yi smiled and said: "This step is called putting death and then rebirth."

"Death and Resurrection"

Liu Bei chewed thoughtfully, picked up a white seed, and fell down.

Next, the two of them, one son and one son, got down.

Gradually, the ship came to the center of the river.
