Chapter 141, Journey to the Clouds
Besides, Liang Qingshan and them, after a group of six people went down the mountain, they walked for a long time before they cautiously climbed down the mountain, and finally saw the circular mountain road covered with stone fragments.
"If you cross the Dongba Mountains for 5,000 miles to the right, you can reach Ziyang Mountain, and to the left is the direction of Benqingcheng Mountain. Liang Qingshan looked at the winding mountain road around him and muttered to himself.
"Fifth Senior Brother, you can go around Ziyang Mountain by taking the waterway to the left!"
"But it's twice as far away!" Meng Jiang whispered.
Wan Qingye hurriedly gave her a look and said, "Fifth Senior Brother, we still have more than two months to spare?
"What do you think?" asked Liang Qingshan in a loud voice.
Zhu Yingtai said: "I agree with the Eighth Senior Brother's suggestion. ”
"Agreed!"
"Agreed!"
"Then turn left!"
Except for Ma Qinghe, who had a calm temperament and was slow in his steps, the rest of the people hurriedly galloped away happily in the direction of the left.
"Eighth Senior Brother, you can visit the mountains and rivers again! Thank you for your proposal this time!" Hua Qinglou whispered to Wan Qingye with a smile.
Wan Qingye turned his face and glared at him.
Liang Qingshan and Ma Qinghe walked behind, looking back at the Ethereal Divine Realm, but there was no trace, and then looked up, but saw that the mountain road was crooked, the green mountains were ringed, and they walked out of the same appearance for nearly a hundred miles.
On the morning of the third day, when they had been walking for an hour, they heard the sound of rushing water.
"Did you hear anything?" Zhu Yingtai asked loudly.
"It's time to the river!" Hua Qinglou suddenly shouted, and ran to the front first. Turning a mountain ridge, I saw a white river about two or three hundred zhang wide suddenly in front of me, like the sea.
The river is vast and the water flow is gentle, like a bay. The warm morning sun poured on the water, and the golden scales shimmered. The blue reeds spread along the riverbank, like a green silk belt. On the riverside, fishing boats sway in the wind and cast their nets in the wind; in the center of the river, large boats come and go like shuttles, and business is full of business.
"May I ask the old man, what is the name of this big river?" Zhu Yingtai asked in a loud voice an old fisherman on a nearby fishing boat.
"Oh Oe!"
"What's Oe's name?"
"Oh Oe!"
"I'm asking what is the name of this river?"
"This river is called the big river!" the old man was also a little impatient.
"So this big river is the big river outside our Qingyang Mountain?" Zhu Yingtai raised his head and asked Liang Qingshan.
"What other river in our Pangu Continent dares to call it a great river? Isn't it just this long river, which runs from the plateau in the west to the sea in the east, and traverses the center of our continent!" Liang Qingshan said with a smile.
"Then you didn't say it sooner?"
"You didn't ask me!"
"You live at the head of the big river, you live at the end of the big river, you don't see you every day, and you drink a river of water. Hua Qinglou pointed his finger back and forth at the two of them.
"Go aside!" Zhu Yingtai said angrily to him.
"Uncle, how do I get to Ziyang Mountain from here?" Ma Qinghe asked the old man.
"Go up the river, two thousand miles later, transfer to Taotaoshui in Taojiaodu, then turn into Qingqingchuan in the retrograde two thousand miles, and then go backward two thousand miles to Baiyundu, and then travel two thousand miles by land to almost arrive. ”
"It's so far away!" Meng Jiang muttered to himself.
"No matter how far you go, I'll walk with you!" Wan Qingye whispered.
"May I ask the old man, where is there a place nearby where I can take a boat?" Liang Qingshan hurriedly asked.
"Go three miles in the wrong direction, Ashdu. ”
"Thank you!"
The six of them then rushed upstream, and sure enough, they saw a busy ferry port three miles away, with more than 100 passenger ships and cargo ships parked, and more than 100 ships constantly going in and out.
"Guys, do you want to take a boat?" immediately a man dressed in black came up to greet him.
"May I ask my brother, can we charter a smaller boat?" asked Liang Qingshan.
"No problem. More than half of the ships on this river are from our Silver Palm Gang, and you only need to hand over the number plate and rental ticket of the ship to the Silver Palm Shop at your end ferry. I wonder if you want a boatman?"
"Sixth, eighth, fifteenth, do you need boatmen?" Liang Qingshan hurriedly asked them.
"Yes, don't you want anyone to row a boat and hang the sails at the helm?"
"You three!" Zhu Yingtai continued.
"Hey, hey, we can't control that. The three of them shook their heads and waved their hands.
Liang Qingshan had no choice but to pay the charter fee. "How do we pay the deposit and how do we get it back?"
"Don't you want a boatman for your ship? Just give the deposit to the boatman, and then ask the boatman for it with a sign at the end of the line. ”
Liang Qingshan then rented a small painting boat, and there were only two people on the painting boat, an old man in linen with a green jade cigarette holder and a cigarette holder hanging on his chest, and a girl in Tsing Yi who was 17 or 8 years old.
"The final ferry is Taojiaodu, the voyage is about 2,000 miles, and the time is about 10 days! Maybe a day or two earlier, depending on the weather and the change of wind direction. The deposit is one hundred taels of silver, just give it to me. The old man in Mai said sharply, and quickly put away the silver.
The girl in Tsing Yi said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, good morning, everyone! Welcome to take this 'Silver Dragon Boat' and start the 'Great River Cloud Sky Journey' that is about to depart." The name of this ship is 'Silver Dragon Fang', number 167, and it is suitable for sitting and lying on board. There is also food and drink on board, but it may not be everyone's favorite taste, you can buy something delicious on the shore to take with you, or you can buy some other necessary items to take with you. Let's leave in an hour. ”
An hour later, the six of them returned to the boat, and Zhu Yingtai and Meng Jiang bought a lot of food and brought them with them. The old eighty thousand Qingye only bought a bamboo flute with phoenix reeds and bamboo, the sixth horse Qinghe bought a fishing rod and some fish food, the little fifteen flower Qinglou brought a pair of half-human-high wooden puppets up, and Liang Qingshan bought a silver-white dragon bone sword.
Everyone got on the boat and saw that there were only two people on the boat, the old man in Mai and the girl in Tsing Yi.
"No more boatmen?" Wan Qingye asked.
"It's just such a small boat, and it's enough for me and my father. Adding more people is wasteful. The girl in Tsing Yi replied crisply, then took off her shoes and quickly climbed onto the sail pole, as smart as a monkey, and then directly raised the white sails on the boat. With a trumpet, the two lifted anchor and set sail.
