Chapter 48: Above the Luo River (2)
According to the rumors that Brother Xiao said just now, the crossbow man roughly guessed the identity of that person.
After pondering for a long time, his heart became much calmer.
The old man Murong who was standing on the edge of the boat suddenly spoke, "Have you ever heard of this Luohe fairy night tour?"
Brother Xiao, who was sitting on the deck, hurriedly came over as soon as he heard what a fairy was.
The one-armed knight Xiao Di replied: "I would like to hear about it." ”
The crossbowman followed and stood on the edge of the ship.
The old man Murong coughed lightly, and said with a smile: "This Luohe fairy night tour, when the old man went to the Northern Alliance in the early years, I heard someone talk about it on the road, that person is an old businessman in Luonan County, at that time, the old man thought that he would have a chance in the future, he must cross the Luohe River, and see if there is really any fairy night tour scene, but I didn't expect that after Jiazi, I would return to Yanli, and really set foot on the Luohe night boat, this way down, until now, I didn't think about it, I only blamed myself for being afraid of being a real old man." ”
Old man Murong sold Guanzi, and after taking a sip of wine, he continued to say slowly, "This Yanli territory, there are two major rivers since ancient times, one is Huishui, and the other is the Manjiang River from the Northern League, Yanli folk have a legend, I think you should have heard of it..."
Seeing the three of them shaking their heads, the old man Murong continued: "Huishui and Manjiang are in folk legends, they are transformed by a woman and a man, to be specific, it should be a woman and a man selected by the heavenly realm and hell in the human world. The people of heaven attribute their mistakes to the conspiracy of hell, and the people of hell also think that this is a conspiracy of heaven, one does not admit it to death, and the other will plan, and the final result is that Yu Hui and Chengman have become wronged, and the heavenly realm has secretly sowed discord countless times, so that the two of them are disgusted with each other, and all kinds of tribulations emerge one after another, Hell turns a blind eye, and only thinks that at the right time, the hand of Chengman will give Yu Hui a fatal blow to the heavenly realm behind him, but they all underestimate the power of love in the world, After the two died, they should have entered reincarnation, but in order to retaliate against each other, the heavenly realm and hell used the magic of their respective chess pieces to turn into Huishui and Manjiang, and before they completed their mission, they could not meet again in their lives..."
Old man Murong said this, stopped drinking.
The crossbow man asked, "Old Mr. Murong, you should only tell half of this story, right?" ”
Brother Xiao next to him gave the old man a roll of his eyes and scolded: "You old liar, you have said so much, and it has a relationship with the fairy night swim with half a copper coin, hurry on, if you beat around the bush again, the uncle will throw you the river to feed the fish." ”
Only Xiao Di seemed quite calm, he drank wine by himself, and the vicissitudes on his face were even stronger.
Old man Murong saw Brother Xiao's shouting, he didn't pay attention to it at all, and frowned at the Taoist and the one-armed knight who was drinking, and smiled, "I don't know how many years have passed, Huishui and Manjiang have not been able to meet after all, one year, Huishui and Manjiang have broken out at the same time, and the people in the world are miserable, and it is a coincidence that there is a fairy in the heavenly realm who went down to play in the world, and when she saw this scene, she couldn't bear it, so she thought of a way to open up a channel between Huishui and Manjiang, so that the world was able to survive the ordeal. But the two big men of Heaven and Hell were not satisfied, and they rekindled a thing that had long been forgotten, in order to move to the fairy's father who was in a high position in the heavenly realm, and the fairy father had a foresight, so he ordered the fairy to be grounded here, in order to counteract the anger of the two worlds, and the fairy's name is Luoshui Fairy, this river has the name of Luohe, after the fairy is grounded, she often imagines her mind as her own appearance, and when there is no one at night, she quietly plays and frolicks on the Luo River, and the people who are fortunate enough to see it, There is the so-called Luohe fairy night tour, as for what it is, seeing is believing, and the old man doesn't dare to say anything, you should have listened to a story to see. ”
After the old man Murong finished speaking, he looked at the boundless darkness in the distance of Luohe, and there were starlight points that began to fall into the darkness, and he stopped speaking.
The surrounding fishing fires began to dissipate, the lights on the merchant ships began to go out, and the river sparkled.
A boatman rushed to the deck and said, "There is a starlight falling on the Luo River, and all the boats are lights out. ”
After the boatman had finished speaking, he hurried away without explaining much.
The four of them looked around along the boat, and there was silence everywhere, and even the flowing water seemed to be non-existent.
The anxious Brother Xiao shouted: "Old liar Murong, do you say that this lights out has something to do with the fairy's night tour?" ”
Old man Murong raised the wine jug and poured it into the river, with no expression on his face, and said, "Wait and see." ”
Brother Xiao snorted, went back to the back chair, and hummed a little song while drinking.
The crossbowman frowned, looked around, and then looked at the three of them, his eyes fixed on the one-armed knight, only to see that the one-armed knight at this time closed his eyes, and he didn't know what this person was thinking.
The crossbow man didn't pay much attention to the matter of this fairy's night tour, but he had a lot of suspicions about this one-armed knight, and he didn't know what to guess, just intuition, because he always felt that the person in front of him was coming for a certain purpose.
Of course, he just thought about these in his heart, and didn't say it, because no matter how you look at it, the things that bumped into this person are reasonable, if you close the coffin without thinking about it, then it is inevitable that something unpleasant will happen, and it is not impossible for this person to suddenly change his temperament and serve the three of them in a pot.
After the crossbowman moved his gaze back like this, he pondered the case.
Suddenly, he noticed a hot pain in his chest, and when he looked out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the blood-colored crescent moon pendant had long since disappeared from the usual simplicity and dullness, but began to redden.
The crossbowman's heart tightened, and the expression on his face tried not to show anything unusual, but there was obviously fine sweat on his forehead, and he tried his best to cover the crescent pendant with the clothes on his chest to prevent the red light from being revealed.
The change in the crossbowman did not attract the attention of the three of them, because the three of them had already been attracted by the strange sight on the river.
The crossbow man struggled to look, and was stunned for a moment, and the pain in his chest seemed to disappear in an instant.
The starlight on the river is like clouds and mist, a bunch of sky-high dome sprinkled down, a snow-white wave sprinkling out under the starlight, the wave is a little elf, fish body and human face, petite and cute, laughing in the waves, the laughter is pure, into the ear is to the heart, the listener seems to forget the passage of time.
Hundreds of waves began to converge into a huge water lotus, and all the elf-like little mermaids gathered around the waves, with fins and fins, dancing and singing.
In the center of the water lotus, a piece of petals slowly bloomed in the song, and a woman's figure was wrapped inside, with water as her hair, hanging on the water lotus, and she was full of color.
The woman was wearing a blue wave dress, waking up like a dream, her face was surrounded by a layer of glow powder, and her brilliance was dazzling.
Under the fluorescent light, the mermaid elves joined hands to merge into the blue wave dress, and small flowers bloomed on the skirt, colorful and colorful, until they reached the woman's neck.
The woman came as the water lotus began to tread the waves, and the pink on her face fell on the blue wave skirt like a meteor, and the flowers on the skirt seemed to have life, scorching and shining.
The crossbowman was already dumbfounded.
When the figure got closer, the face was fully revealed.
Bright eyes and bright teeth, closed moon and shy flowers, these words are not enough to describe that face, even a fairy, and you have to be ashamed.
After seeing the woman's whole face, countless memories flooded through his mind, and his heart suddenly ached, not because of the crescent moon pendant, but because the face really looked too much like someone.
It's just that the woman lacks the long hair like snow, and her clear eyes have a touch of sadness.
The woman stopped on the river not far from the merchant ship, and the water lotus under her feet melted away, and her clear eyes looked at the four people on the boat, more and more like the person with the memory of a crossbowman.
The woman seemed to be a little timid and scared, standing there, unconsciously floating the blue wave skirt on her body.
The crossbow man looked at the woman like this, and there were too many things in his heart that he wanted to say.
But when the words came to his lips, he found that he was suffocated by some kind of force, so he had to stare at that face, hoping that the woman would notice him.
The crossbow man felt as if his soul was out of his body, because he suddenly realized that although he had been looking at the woman, he could see the appearance of the three people on the side.
Over there, Brother Xiao's eyes were about to pop out, he opened his mouth and shouted a few words that he didn't know anything, and looked at him and said a few words, but he didn't hear a sound.
Old man Murong somehow turned his head around, smiled at himself, and didn't speak.
And the one-armed knight, who had been looking at the river at first, was now sitting in a chair and drinking alone.
The crossbowman's heart surged, and coldness spread all over his body.
I saw that the woman he was staring at was slowly coming towards him at this time.
The woman stood on tiptoe and leaped in front of him from the river, and the two looked at each other.
The crossbowman's face was sweating like rain, and the woman's face was about to stick to his face.
With a hint of doubt in her eyes, the woman reached out and pointed at his chest, right on top of the crescent pendant.
I saw that the crescent moon pendant suddenly emitted red light, and the crossbowman's chest sank a little, and a heart-piercing pain crawled all over his body.
He didn't know where he got the strength, and he roared.
The woman looked at him again, and tears flowed from her eyes, dripping on the crescent moon.
Then, the woman's figure began to disperse like flowing water in front of the crossbowman's eyes, and at the moment when the woman's figure dispersed, a fluorescence fell on the crescent moon.
The crescent moon was completely embedded in the crossbowman's chest, and the red light turned into colored light.
At the same time as the crescent moon was embedded in his chest, the crossbow man heard a warm and familiar voice in a trance, "Little junior brother, senior sister is back..."
