Hmph, looking at the appearance of this scholar, Ye Liancheng felt proud in his heart, but when he looked to the side, he found that Yu Lao happened to meet his eyes.

confirmed that the eyes were the right people, and the master and apprentice both saw what they thought in each other's hearts, looked at each other and smiled, which was a tacit understanding.

After this small episode, further along, he could already hear the rumbling sound of the river flowing, and in a trance, Ye Liancheng thought that he had returned to the time when he was tempering his body under the waterfall of the Twilight Mountains.

After a short while, the people came to the bank of the river, and if they wanted to reach the city of Chaisang, they had to cross the river.

I don't know what the name of the river is, but the water is very turbulent, not as clear as the Twilight Mountain waterholes, but the yellow-brown color of the earth.

The three people who came to the riverbank, except for Yu Lao, looked at the surging river and felt a little worried in their hearts.

Fortunately, not far from the other side of the river, another old man who took a boat stopped on the bank of the river, looking like a boatman who relied on picking people across the river to maintain his life.

Such a thin old man can actually drive a small boat to cross the two banks of this river, if Ye Liancheng usually does not believe it, but now there is no other way to cross the river.

So Ye Liancheng waved his hand at the old man, and yelled a few times from time to time, hoping to attract his attention.

The old man seemed to be a little behind his ears, and the sound of the river was too loud, Ye Liancheng screamed for a long time without responding, and in the end, it was his inadvertent glance that he found the three people standing on the other side of the river.

Since ancient times, there has been no reason for business to come to the door and not do it, the old man waved his hand at Ye Liancheng, signaling that he saw them, and then he held on to the wooden tree and slowly drove towards the other side of the river.

The old man's speed was very slow, like a snail crawling in the river, but it was surprisingly steady, and Ye Liancheng pinched several handfuls of sweat for him, but the old man looked handy.

Before the old man came, Yu Lao smiled and said to the two, "Do you feel scared when you see such a turbulent river?"

Ning Wenqing was more honest, nodded, and admitted that he didn't dare to look down at the river. And although Ye Liancheng was scared in his heart, he would not say it to Yu Lao.

After getting different responses from the two, Yu Lao said to himself: "Actually, this kind of river is okay, but what I am most afraid of is the kind of river water that is calm on the surface and cannot be seen through at a glance." ”

Not knowing what Yu Lao meant by these words, Ye Liancheng said tentatively: "Because there is a whirlpool under the river like that?"

"Well, that's one of the reasons. Yu Lao continued: "Do you know why there is a river god in the river?"

"Jiang Shen?!Senior, are there really immortals in this world?" Ning Wenqing asked in surprise, obviously Yu Lao's words subverted his worldview.

Ye Liancheng and Yu Lao both selectively ignored this scholar who had never seen the world, and continued their conversation.

"The mountains have mountain gods and land, and the water has river gods and river gods, and I don't know why these positions are set up. Ye Liancheng responded that from the time of crossing to the present, it can be said that it is the first time he has gone far in this world, and his understanding of the outside world has always been obtained from books.

Yu Lao smiled, "If these mountain and water gods are not limited by secret techniques, they are equivalent to occupying the land as kings, and if the imperial court is not to be able to stabilize the luck of the mountains and rivers, they will not be allowed to exist at all." ”

The conversation between the two involved Ning Wenqing's knowledge blind spots, if you let him say something, he would definitely be better than anyone else, but he really didn't know anything about these things.

"Rivers are more likely to devour people's lives than mountains and forests, and the process of drowning is painful. Yu Lao continued.

"Is this the reason why the Jiang God is set up?" With the Jiang God, you can manage the powerful ghosts, anyway, Ye Liancheng thinks so.

Yu Lao smiled and said nothing, and then the old man also came to them with the boat.

"How many of you want to cross the river?" asked the old man with a smile, his face as tanned as black charcoal was full of vicissitudes of life.

Ye Liancheng nodded, "I don't know what the price is?"

"As long as you can sit down, you can only accept one low-grade spirit stone at a time. The old man opened his mouth and said thoughtfully.

Ye Liancheng's eyes widened, he could actually accept the spirit stone after crossing the river? You must know that the spirit stone has a price in the world, and it can be exchanged for a lot of gold.

Ning Wenqing was also dumbfounded, did he want to collect stones when crossing the river?" "Senior, what kind of stone is this spirit, I have never seen it along the way." ”

Hearing Ning Wenqing's words, the old man's face fell, and he thought he was a cultivator when he looked at the costume, but he didn't expect it to be just a group of dirt buns who had never seen the world, so he didn't say too much, and turned around to go back by himself, this business is not going to be done.

Seeing this urgency, Ning Wenqing was very puzzled, and she didn't know what she said wrong, which made the old man unhappy.

Ye Liancheng sighed helplessly, and accurately returned a piece of low-grade spirit stone to the old man's cabin.

After seeing the spirit stone, the old man turned around with a smile, and after stopping the boat, "A few please." ”

In the clouds, Ning Wenqing followed Ye Liancheng and Yu Lao into this small boat like this.

The boat is a bit like a willow leaf, and in the middle is a bamboo and rattan cabin where guests can sit and rest, but it is a bit cramped for three people.

Except for Ning Wenqing, who was a little scared and didn't dare to come out, Ye Liancheng and Yu Lao were both standing on the bow of the boat, while the old man was sliding hard behind them and drifting towards the opposite shore.

The river was turbulent under the boat, and when Ye Liancheng stood on the boat, he felt surprisingly stable, isn't the value of this low-grade spirit stone reflected here?

The old man wiped his sweat and said with a smile: "Childe is a cultivator, and I have nothing to hide from the old man." ”

Oh? Ye Liancheng's eyes lit up, could there be anything else in this?

"Don't look at this river, but the only one who can really be the ferryman on it is the old man and me. Between the words, the old man had a slight look of pride.

Ye Liancheng nodded, being able to smoothly ferry on this river is indeed a rare skill.

"Senior, haven't you told me what the name of this river is?" Ning Wenqing, who was sitting in the cabin, suddenly said, it turned out that he had been listening to the conversation of several people outside the cabin.

The interruption made the old man a little unhappy, and he replied casually: "This river is called the Loess River, presumably you are here for the first time, so you don't know the name of this river." ”

Loess River, Ye Liancheng glanced at the turbid river under the boat, this name is quite authentic.
