Chapter 5: Red Moon Shadow
Qi Fei picked up a piece of fish meat and put it in his mouth, but found that there were no thorns in the fish, and then ate several pieces one after another, but each piece was the same, even the soup base did not have a single bone, he only felt strange, so he asked those Jiang Cheng companions, what kind of fish is this fish.
After asking, I realized that the name of the fish I had just eaten was soft crucian carp, and this soft crucian carp was not without spines, and if the fish did not have spines, how could it be called a fish.
The key to not having fish bones lies in the old man's cooking method, the soft crucian carp itself is spiny, but all of them are small spines, and each thorn is very soft, and the old man added a special herb of Chujiang to the soup when cooking, this herb can be boiled in water, it can melt all the spines in the soft crucian carp meat, and this herb does not have any side effects on the body, but can also play a role in strengthening muscles and bones.
Qi Fei said with a smile: "Chu Jiang is really a good place, this magical herb seems to have grown specifically for the soft carp in this Chu River!"
As soon as he said this, everyone on the boat burst into laughter, and even the wandering Daoist laughed very happily.
Qi Fei scratched his head, feeling puzzled in his heart, but he heard the Jiangcheng companion say: "Little brother, if you say this, anyone can hear that you are not from Chujiang." ”
"Why is that?"
The man explained with a smile: "This herb was originally owned by our Chu Jiang, but this soft carp was only available later. ”
"Could it be that this fish swam down from the Tang River?"
The man shook his head.
"That's weird, could it be that it fell from the sky?"
When the crowd heard this, they laughed more and more happily, and the man had no intention of teasing him, so he told the truth.
After finishing speaking, Qi Fei almost grew his mouth, no matter how much he racked his brains, he couldn't imagine that this soft carp was actually brought here by the demons!
He often heard from the mouth of Yunyoudao how tragic the war was back then, and how fierce and evil the demon army was, but he never thought that when the demon army attacked the nine cities of Chujiang, it would bring a delicious ingredient like soft carp.
He couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that we still have to thank those murderous demons, otherwise how can we enjoy this beautiful banquet tonight!"
Everyone only thought that this sentence was a joke.
The great war back then is too long ago, and although the people of Chujiang now also know a lot of stories about that war, after all, time has turned them into history, and people will not find anything wrong with it because of the young man's words.
Everything has many different sides, nothing is absolutely bad, and nothing is absolutely good, just like the Great War, where everyone complained that the war had destroyed their families, and thousands of years later, their children and grandchildren were tasting the fat fruits of that war.
This is the way of change, and change never stops because time passes.
There is a total of one hundred and twenty miles of waterway from Jiangcheng to Chucheng, and according to their speed, they can reach Chucheng almost the next day.
Although the early summer is hot and dry, it is not very obvious on the river, especially at night, when a thin shirt is blown by the river breeze, and it even feels cold.
Maybe it's because of that rainy night four years ago, Qi Fei hates the night very much, but he likes the night breeze very much, whether it is the night breeze in early summer or the night breeze in deep winter, that cold feeling can make him very sober.
In his opinion, being sober is a very happy thing.
The bright moon hangs in the air, reflecting on the surface of the river, and the moon shadow seems to be integrated with the river water, swaying incessantly. He looked at the moon in the water and began to think about the question that he had not received an answer to in the restaurant during the day.
"Master, how big is this world?"
"The world is as big as the heart. ”
"You're selling off again!"
"Stinky boy, what Master teaches you is the truth, you have to remember the words of the Master. ”
"Cut, it will brag. ”
Thinking about it, he couldn't help laughing, in the past four years, the master and apprentice have talked a lot, almost except for sleeping, they have been talking all the time, if he wants to write down all the words of the master, then his brain must be burst.
The wandering Taoist taught him a lot, and he taught him things almost every day, but he always felt that there were still many things that the master had not taught him, and he didn't know how old the master had lived, he only knew that the master had a lot of things in his head: spells, truths, stories, strange stories...... In short, he is never short of fresh topics and never repeated.
For Qi Fei, the Yunyou Daoist is the most mysterious thing in his heart, and it may not be appropriate to call him a "thing", but he is really like a thing, different from people, because he is so different that Qi Fei can't know him from the perspective of a "human" at all.
If it comes to cultivation and strength, Qi Fei may still know a little bit about him, but that little understanding is only based on speculation.
For those who are new to cultivation, the first step is to "pass the knack", only by understanding the knack, can they perceive the subtle world of cultivation; then "quench the body" to adapt their body to the cultivation method; after unremitting cultivation, they will successfully "condense the pill"; the yuan dan creates qi and gasifies all things, and then the next step is to "turn the qi"; then "refining the gods", after refining the gods, they can have divine power; and then "feeling the spirits", feeling the aura between heaven and earth, and finally "understanding the heavens", participating in the way of heaven, and becoming the great creator of the world!
Cultivation is divided into seven realms, namely: Enlightenment, Quenching the Body, Condensing Pills, Transforming Qi, Refining the Spirit, Feeling the Spirit, and Enlightening the Heavens. In the world of cultivation, the human race, the demon race, and the demon race are all the same, and they can only climb up step by step from the general knowledge to the enlightenment.
With Qi Fei's understanding of the Yunyou Daoist, he could only be sure that he had succeeded in refining the gods, but after the incident a year ago, he began to speculate: Maybe the master has reached the realm of spiritual feelings!
But he wasn't sure, because he didn't know what kind of strength the demon Jiao in the Black Cloud Cave had.
In short, in the end, the wandering Daoist killed it, although the battle lasted for a day and a night, although the wandering Taoist used the sword that he had never used, but he himself was not injured, and he killed the demon Jiao in a victorious manner.
He thought about it, and suddenly realized that the more he thought about it, the farther he went, and he was supposed to think about the destination, but how did he think of the master?
He looked back and saw that everyone was asleep, and the wine of the wandering Taoist did not seem to have woken up, because the tip of his nose was still red in the moonlight, and even the old man who shook the pulp was asleep, and the water flow was steady, although there was wind, but this little wind would not have any effect on the voyage.
He pulled his foot out of the river, intending to dry it and prepare to sleep, but the moment he lifted his foot, he seemed to be in a trance, because he saw that the moon in the water had turned red, and he thought it was an illusion, so he looked up to see the moon in the sky.
Fortunately, the moon in the sky is still so bright, like a jade disk.
He lowered his head, but the moon in the water was still red, glowing red, shining, and he rubbed his eyes vigorously, and then looked at it carefully.
The next moment, he jumped up from the stern of the boat in an instant, and his jump immediately shook the boat around, and several people on the boat were also disturbed by this movement.
The old man who shook the pulp was the first to get up, but he didn't seem to wake up yet, and asked in a daze, "What's the matter?"
Qi Fei didn't answer, he jumped directly into the air, and a ball of fire instantly appeared in his palm, and then slammed into the moon shadow in the water.
The fire offered by the fire charm is not an ordinary flame, but a real fire, which can not be extinguished in water, even in the water, it can still burn fiercely.
"Bang!", the water splashed, making a bigger movement on the surface of the river, and at the moment when the flame entered the water, the red light in the moon shadow also disappeared, and the river surface was flooded with huge waves, and it was impossible to see where it went.
After a commotion, everyone looked at the young man in mid-air, and one asked, "Little brother, what's wrong?"
Qi Fei didn't look back, while looking at the river intently, he returned: "There's something in the water!"
There was something in the river, naturally it was that red light! It's just that Qi Fei didn't know what it was.
When everyone heard this, they immediately became alert, and pulled out their weapons one after another, and even the old man who shook the paddle held the oars tightly, staring at the river without blinking.
The commotion quickly alarmed several small boats in the vicinity, and the oil lamps on those small boats shook rapidly, apparently approaching this way.
"Little brother, what do you see?", a fellow Daoist from Jiang Cheng asked with an extremely nervous expression holding a long sword in his hand, and some tremors could be heard in his voice.
How did Qi Fei know what it was, judging from his countless experience in following the Yunyou Dao people to slay demons in the past few years, the red light was very likely to be the eye of something, but he was a little puzzled, why the red light was only one point, if it was an eye, it should be two points!
Among the crowd, only Yunyou Daoist was still calm, although he was also woken up, he did not show any nervous expression, but sat on the boat and dangled around, very leisurely.
Without waiting for Qi Fei to reply, the river below suddenly bulged, and the boat was lifted up in an instant, fortunately, the three people in Jiangcheng were all cultivators, and their reactions were extremely sensitive, and they immediately flew up from the boat, and the old man who had not practiced was grabbed by the Yunyou Daoist and jumped into the air.
I heard an angry roar follow, and the sound came from under everyone's feet, and at the same time, a strong wind blew from the bottom to the top, wrapped in the river water, and splashed the robes on the three people of Jiang Cheng in the blink of an eye.
