Chapter 213: The Cycle of Cause and Effect
When the old man saw me like this, he frowned and said something strange and turned into the house, I muttered and raised my head to look at Boss Jiang and said, "What kind of place is this Xilingdu?" ”
Boss Jiang also looked at me a little strangely, and then explained: "As far as the Yellow River Ancient Road is currently known, among the five major ferries connecting to the outside world, there are four in the south, east, and northwest that have been divided by the four major forces, controlling the entry and exit of the river mouth, and only Xilingdu is a new ferry that was discovered a few years ago, and it is also the fifth largest ferry, which has not yet belonged to it, and is still within the scope of competition of the four major forces. ”
"Isn't Xilingdu dangerous?" I was surprised.
Boss Jiang nodded and said, "The smoke of the perennial war has not stopped for a day, and this caravan is going to Xilingdu to deliver supplies to the people of the eight-handed immortal monkeys. ”
"I see." I muttered, and in the afterglow, I saw a figure hurrying towards us, shouting as he ran: "Bai Gongzi, someone is looking for someone at the ferry, saying that they are going to hurry up and get on the road." ”
I was slightly stunned, and said in my heart that this is Wei Junyao's person who came to pick me up.
Gathering his thoughts, he followed the man in the direction of the ferry, and in the distance, I saw a familiar figure standing on the ferry, but the head was tightly covered by a certain wide hat, and I couldn't see the appearance clearly, but from the whole person's body shape and temperament, I must know this person.
Sure enough, as soon as I arrived at the ferry, I saw the man gently lift the hat up a crack, looked at me and said, "Long time no see." ”
General Wu!
I almost screamed, but looking at his dress, I still endured it and said, "Long time no see, I'm tired." ”
The red carp also followed the boat at this time, glanced at General Wu, his body trembled suddenly, and he subconsciously took two steps back, as if keeping a safe distance, and then he didn't move.
Looking at her, I felt really uncomfortable, sighed softly, and then turned my eyes to Huaibei and Jiang Boss, a group of five people came to the Yellow River, and now they are fleeing, injured and injured, Huaibei also stayed in Luoyan Town, for a while, I felt a lot of emotion in my chest, I didn't know how to speak, and in the end I just said lightly: "Take care." ”
"Take care!"
"Take care!"
Under the gaze of the two of them, General Wu slowly supported the boat and slowly went ashore, until their figures were no longer visible in the line of sight, and then I turned my head to look at General Wu and said, "Are you going to the estuary?" ”
General Wu shook his head and said, "It's too slow to get from here to the estuary, and if you want to hurry back, you have to use other methods." ”
"How?" I was surprised.
General Wu didn't answer, just drove the boat to move fast in the water, I was very worried about Sister Yu and the eldest brother, and I didn't have the heart to speak, just looked at the river scenery on both sides of the river in a daze, and I didn't know how long it was, let alone where the boat went, some wondered when I wanted to ask General Wu, but I suddenly felt an extremely heavy force hit the back of the neck, my eyes turned black, and when I swayed and fell, I only felt a palm pushing behind my back, and the whole person fell directly from the boat into the water.
At the moment of falling into the water, there was only one thought in my mind, General Wu was a traitor.
When the body entered the tumbling river, I instinctively waved my hands and struggled desperately in the water, but the weightlessness that had fallen into the weak water in the Guimen Gorge once again swept my whole body, and the whole person sank straight into the water without a pause, I felt desperate, I felt that many things were not done, many people were still waiting for me, and I died like this, I was not reconciled!
But the reality of the situation is that I have no room for resistance, the weak water that does not float is only in vain, watching the sunlight hitting the river farther and farther away from me, a heart also begins to fall with the sinking of the body, and the Yellow River is also like not seeing the bottom, endless, just when I feel like I want to fall through the bottom of the river, escape into the void, the temperature of the surrounding river water plummeted, as if entering the cold winter wax moon, suddenly let me wake up instantly.
And at this time, I seemed to feel the buoyancy coming from the water, my heart was stunned, and the desire to survive once again made the hand start to fan indiscriminately, and I felt that my body began to gradually float to the water, and I was ecstatic in my heart, as if I had grasped the last straw, gritted my teeth to endure a biting cold, and began to swim desperately.
But the further upstream I got, the more light shines in, and when I can faintly see the surrounding environment, I begin to feel that something is wrong.
This is the Yellow River, why does it feel like swimming in a cave, surrounded by smooth rock walls, the river water is also clear and transparent, glowing with bursts of green light, looking at it, I suddenly feel as if I have been to this place before.
But the cold that froze through the blood and bones made me sober again, and I couldn't care so much at this time, looking at the hole that was close at hand, I was full of strength to rush to the end, and the moment my head came out of the water, my whole person was suddenly stupid.
Yujia Temple!
This is actually the waterhole on the mountain behind the Yujia Temple!
Surrounded by bamboo trees, the dilapidated Nuwa Earth Temple, and even the small circular pit that Liu Sanshou dug along my body in order to hold back the water, everything is exactly the same as when I came before, and there is no change at all.
And what is even more surprising is that it is already winter.
As far as the eye can see, there is a layer of white snow on the ground, on the trees, including on the top of the Nuwa Tu Temple, as if it is already a cold winter wax moon, but how did time pass so quickly, it was still summer when I left, and months passed in a few days?
When I was stunned, I suddenly heard a splashing sound behind me, and the white sweat scared me out, and the first thing that came to my mind was the naked underwater woman with a snake face.
Waiting for the reaction to come back without saying a word, he threw off his arms and swam to the shore with his life, and when he arrived on the shore, he was about to continue running forward without stopping, when he heard a familiar voice shouting behind him: "What are you running?" ”
Hearing the sound, he was stunned, and subconsciously turned his head, and saw that the red carp was slowly swimming towards the shore, and after coming ashore, he also frowned and looked around and said, "It's snowing?" ”
Then he seemed to react, and said lightly: "One day in the river, one month on the shore, no wonder." ”
I couldn't understand her words, I wanted to ask more, but I was only wearing long pants and short sleeves all over my body, plus a body of water, in this air temperature, I couldn't help but start to shiver all over, my hands and arms were instantly frozen purple and black, and I didn't want to say: "Get out of here first, and then talk about what to do when you return to Changshengdang." ”
The two of them wore wet summer clothes, ran all the way in the snow, and quickly came to the entrance of Yujiamiao Village with their memories, but looking at the lively scene of spring hanging joy at the door of every house, I scolded secretly, "I'm Cao, I won't celebrate the New Year." ”
At this time, it was noon, there were many people busy in the village, and the two were soon discovered, and some villagers greeted us suspiciously, looked at our appearance, and asked hesitantly, "...... are you?"
"We are two travel friends from Chengdu, and we accidentally got separated from our friends and got lost here, can you borrow a place to call home, please."
Without thinking about it, I blurted out the words I had prepared on the road, and then a cold wind blew on my body, and I couldn't help but shiver and begged: "Please, my family is still waiting for us to go back for the New Year." ”
The man at the head swept his eyes over us, nodded and said, "Okay, come with me." ”
I was overjoyed, thanked again and again, and the red carp entered the village under the leadership of the man and turned into a farmhouse, as soon as I arrived at the door, I was a little dumbfounded, this is not the place where I first met with the green carp, and the man in front of me also began to feel a little familiar, and instantly remembered that he was the man who was hypnotized by the tiger and lay unconscious on the table.
I saved the life of the whole village with the dragon water, and they also saved me and the red carp a few months later.
After entering the house, I saw that the couplets posted in his house seemed to be different from the usual ones, all of them were yellow paper, which seemed to be the death of someone in the family to paste such couplets, and when I was puzzled, I saw a black and white portrait on the table in the middle of the hall, and the person on the portrait was the woman who was lying on the table like him at that time.
