Chapter 73: Dream Swamp

To the east of the Hongtian Dynasty, there is a mountain with a radius of 100 miles, and in the middle of the mountain, there is a river that runs through it, which flows through countless countries, and countless people live on this river, and the residents along the river call this river the holy river.

Nineteen years ago, the Star Yi Continent ushered in a once-in-a-century disaster, the holy river that was the mother river overflowed, flooding countless villages on both sides of the river, killing and injuring countless people at that time, causing a great sensation. After the river receded, the topography of many places changed greatly due to the erosion of the river. Mountains have become flat, flat lands have turned into hills, and there are even many places where the river has been submerged for too long, and even when the river recedes, it has become a swamp that no one cares about.

There is an avenue to the east of Hongtian that connects with the country to the east, and after this disaster, the road is also covered by the mud from the river water, making it impossible to walk. Because the river has been submerged for a long time, the river water here has not completely receded, and after time washing, the original official road has gradually become a swamp.

Perhaps because of the heavy humidity, the swamp is obscured by fog all year round, and from a distance it looks like a fairyland. So, the residents who lived here, because they were curious about the changes in this place, found many strong men to go inside and investigate, wanting to investigate the reasons for the changes.

However, the group of men did not return, and finally there were rumors that many fierce beasts appeared in the swamp, and these men were all killed by the beasts. Later, some people who didn't believe entered the swamp again, but as you can imagine, no one came out.

Gradually, this swamp became a fierce place, a forbidden area that no one cared about!

This swamp has a nice name, called Dream Swamp! It is also named because of the mist that does not disperse all year round, and it seems to be a fairyland-like place, but it hides endless killing opportunities.

After staying in the town for a few days and inquiring about the Lost Dream Swamp, Jing Yifan finally gave up the idea of going to the Lost Dream Swamp.

Because he couldn't go to the Hongtian Dynasty from the Misty Dream Swamp, Jing Yifan only had one way to go. And Jin Jinjian had Li Cheng waiting for the rabbit, and he couldn't run back to die by himself, so he had to live in the town.

"Teacher, you're here, come in and sit down, I'll pour tea for you." ”

"Well, skinny monkey, are you alone at home, what about your parents?"

"My father has gone out on something, and my mother is resting in the back room, does the teacher need me to call my mother out?"

"No need, the main reason for coming here today is to see if your chess skills have improved, to see if you are lazy, whether you have listened to the teacher, and practiced your chess skills well. ”

"Teacher, don't worry, I practice every day, my chess skills have grown greatly, and the day before yesterday I killed the two dogs next door without leaving a piece of armor, if the teacher doesn't believe it, you can try it." ”

"Okay, since you are so confident, the teacher will see if you have grown. ”

Just as the two were playing a game, a woman walked out of the inner hall.

"Ah, when did Little Brother Zhu come, and why didn't he let the thin monkey call me when he came?" The woman was the mother of the thin monkey, and in the hall, a young man was playing against a young man.

Hearing this, the young man stood up, bowed, and said with a smile: "I've come to your mansion to talk again, and I ask Mrs. Li not to be weird!"

"Little Brother Zhu, the thin monkey has grown so much thanks to your care for so many days, thank you It's too late, Little Brother Zhu don't see outside, just treat the Li Mansion as your home. Li hurriedly replied.

The little brother Zhu in Li's mouth, surnamed Zhu Mingcan, is Jing Yifan's pseudonym. Because he planned to live in a small town, Jing Yifan also needed an identity to hide people's eyes, so he came here to guide the thin monkey to learn chess.

Skinny Monkey, formerly known as Li Tianguang, and his father is Li Yuanxin. Li Yuanxin's reputation in the town is not bad, and his popularity is good. It's a pity that Li Tianguang is a gentleman, he doesn't learn every day, he only knows how to be idle in the town, and his reputation has stinked, because he has been very thin since he was a child, Li Yuanxin directly took a thin monkey as Li Tianguang's nickname.

By a coincidence, Jing Yifan and Li Yuanxin got acquainted, Li Yuanxin admired Jing Yifan's chess skills very much, so he entrusted Jing Yifan to guide his unsuccessful son, Jing Yifan had nothing to do, so he agreed.

"Teacher, it's your turn. The thin monkey dropped down, raised his head and said.

Jing Yifan glanced at the chessboard and said with a smile: "Let's stop here today, the teacher believes that you have not been lazy in the past few days, but you can't be frivolous in chess, and you can't get carried away because of a small victory, you must remember the teacher's method of guiding you in the future, and learn chess skills with your heart, and you will definitely achieve extraordinary achievements in the future." ”

"Well, the teacher's words must be firmly remembered by the thin monkey, and he will never disappoint the teacher!"

"Very good, the teacher believes in you. Jing Yifan touched the top of the thin monkey's head, turned to look at Li, and said, "Mrs. Li, I still have something to do, so I won't talk about it anymore, so I'll leave!"

"Since Little Brother Zhu has something to do, let's go and get busy first, let you bother. Li Shi saluted Jing Yifan, looked at the thin monkey, and said, "Guang'er, you send the teacher out." ”

"Teacher, will you come back tomorrow? I don't know a lot about it, so I'm going to ask you?" said the thin monkey as he walked.

Jing Yifan smiled and did not answer. The thin monkey has undergone such a big change, which makes him a little relieved, and when he first saw this young man, he was not tossed by him less. However, Jing Yifan had never seen any big scenes in his previous life, and he wanted to play tricks on people, who could compare to him, no, now this young man has been obedient to his own governance and has become a good child.

If there is no three-year period, Jing Yifan would like to stay, and the thin monkey's chess talent is very good, which is why Jing Yifan is willing to stay and guide him. There is no chess club in this town, and people with chess talents like Thin Monkey can't be discovered, Jing Yifan really wants to change the situation, but how many people can he help with his own strength, the population of the Star Game Continent is innumerable, except for this town, is there no other place like this?

Jing Yifan is not a saint, he is not a savior, he can't help everyone, and he can't save everyone!

The only thing he can do is to pass on the spirit of chess, hoping that the thin monkey can firmly remember his words, and when he succeeds in chess in the future, he can carry forward his chess skills in this town.

The thin monkey waited for a while without waiting for Jing Yifan's response, turned around strangely, and found that Jing Yifan was in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking, and pursed his mouth aggrievedly.

Jing Yifan didn't come back to his senses for a long time, the thin monkey muttered, and said, "Teacher, have you heard of the two immortals last night? I can knock down a big tree that three people can't hold with just my empty hands, but it's a pity that my father won't let me go out, otherwise I really want to go and see it." ”

"Who did you listen to!" Jing Yifan's body trembled and hurriedly asked.

"This morning I went to Ergouzi's house next door, and Ergouzi told me that the teacher is outside every day, don't you know about this? I know that Ergouzi lied to me, how can anyone in this world do such a thing, unless it is a legendary immortal. Seeing the unaware expression on Jing Yifan's face, the thin monkey said very angrily.

Since the thin monkey began to learn chess, he was grounded by Li Yuanxin. I didn't know anything about things outside the town, and Jing Yifan didn't hear the news outside every day, how could it be true, thinking of being deceived, his face was gloomy.

Unlike the thin monkey, Jing Yifan was worried in his heart. Knocking down a big tree with one palm, he could do such a thing, but to knock down a big tree that only three people can hold, Jing Yifan asked himself if he couldn't do it. It just so happened that the other party was also two people, which had to make him suspicious, after so many days, it was not impossible for Li Cheng and Song Ming to chase here.

"Okay, you can send it here, learn chess well, I'll go first. Jing Yifan hurriedly said and left in a hurry. Whether this is true or not, Jing Yifan has to investigate.

"Uncle, excuse me for a while, I don't know if you heard about someone knocking down a big tree with one palm last night?" Coming to the street, Jing Yifan hurriedly stopped a big man.

"Of course, who doesn't know that. ”

"Can you tell me where the location is?"

"You keep going all the way here, and you can see it when you turn the bend ahead. ”

"Thank you, uncle. ”

In the direction guided by the big man, Jing Yifan soon came to a place full of people. Crossing the crowd, Jing Yifan saw a stout tree fall to the ground, this big tree was really as rumored, and the three of them might not be able to hold it. The tree breaks in the middle, and the gap is not smooth, that is, it is not broken by external force. Such a break is like being blown off by the wind, but how much wind does it take for such a thick tree to be blown off?

Just as Jing Yifan wanted to step forward to check the traces of the fracture closely, he suddenly saw two people who he didn't want to see the most, which were Li Cheng and Song Ming.

At the same time that Jing Yifan saw them, Li Cheng also seemed to be aware of it and looked over at Jing Yifan. With Li Cheng's strangeness, Song Ming also discovered Jing Yifan's existence.

"Senior brother, which kid is it!"

When Song Ming shouted, Jing Yifan was already desperate to run backwards. The crowd of onlookers was overturned on their backs by the people who were hit, and they became a mess, and Jing Yifan took out a handful of silver from his arms and threw it at Song Ming and Li Cheng as he ran.

"It's silver, come and grab it!"

Seeing the silver flying, the crowd of onlookers didn't look at the broken tree, and they all rushed to Li Cheng and Song Ming, surrounding the two, while Jing Yifan ran forward desperately.

After a long time, Li Cheng and Song Mingcai squeezed out of the crowd in embarrassment, and the clothes on their bodies were now silky, and there were red scratches on their faces, which looked very funny.

No matter how great their ability is, they are helpless when they encounter such a thing. These are ordinary people, and they can't make a move, and when they squeeze out of the crowd, where can they still see Jing Yifan's figure.
