Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Ferryman

The moonlight shines down, the river surface is sparkling, look at the rich and thin moonlight on the river, it is wonderful, the lonely boat travels to the middle of the water, a gust of wind blows, the moon is covered by clouds, and the river surface is no light again.

The water was not calm, and the two little disciples were a little sleepy, and they were suddenly awakened by the shaking of the hull, but Ling Tian still lowered his head, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Zhou Nuo's deep pupils were instantly cast, and he could see clearly even in the dark night, and the water surface rippled with thin ripples, which may have been caused by the shaking of the boat, and it seemed that the underwater waves were turbulent.

That's right, there is a dark shadow swimming back and forth underwater, "Stay here, don't get off the boat anyway!" The boatman struggled to control the ship from deviating from course, and turned and shouted.

"Boatman, what's going on?" The male disciple of the Qingmo Sect was taken aback, lying on the side of the boat and looking down but seeing nothing, and was about to light a torch in his hand, but was stopped by the boatman.

"Don't! This is a water monster, as long as you don't get off the boat, you'll be fine, and that monster is very sensitive to light, and will pounce on it desperately when it sees it, so sit down, we'll be fine if we accelerate out of this water! ”

"Boatman, do you know what this water monster is? Monsters? Zhou Nuo asked.

"I don't know, it may be fish and shrimp, don't worry, I often walk this way."

Zhou Nuo looked down again, a black shadow was extremely obvious, rushing at great speed, Zhou Nuo split the water with a sword, he didn't see it clearly, even the deep pupil didn't see it clearly, the speed was too fast!

"Don't hide it, although I don't know what your purpose is, it doesn't hurt to say it." Zhou Nuo's expression was serious, and he stared at the boatman and said.

"Young man, don't be so angry, it's a big deal that the old man will promise you to send you over there."

In fact, it is not difficult to see that there is a problem with this boat, just from this river a city only this search boat can be seen, either the river is not calm and others dare not go, or this boat family suppressed all the other boats, otherwise how could there be such a magnificent river without a ferryman, but also in a hurry, did not observe in advance.

But no matter which one is inseparable, the strength of the boatman is bound to be extremely strong! Zhou Nuo felt a lot more relieved, sat there, carefully observed the surroundings and could feel that the speed of the boat had become faster, but he still looked around

"Don't worry, I often sit on this old man's boat, and it's very stable." Ling Tian rarely took the initiative to raise his head to speak, his voice was thick and reassuring.

"Okay then." Zhou Nuo didn't know what to say, just looked at the two disciples of the Qingmo Sect, "What's your name?" "I don't know what their names are when I think about it, but it's also interesting to lie about the sect when I come up.

"Oh? Oh! It's called Cold Wind, and it's my sister's name Cold Moon. The male disciple reacted for a moment before he replied.

"Are you a family?"

"Sort of, we have lived in the sect since we were children, the child picked up by the master, I don't know if the parents are still alive, the name is also given by the master, it is said that I met me in the snowy night in the north, I originally wanted to name it Hanxue but then felt too feminine, this is called cold wind."

Zhou Nuo probably understood where her junior sister's name came from, and asked, "Then why do you lie outside and say what kind of academy you are?" "This is a little incomprehensible, it stands to reason that the master can be said to be as kind to him as a mountain, and he should publicize the sect outside.

Han Feng was a little stunned, as if he was recalling, and then sighed and said: "When the master was still a disciple of the sect, he went out to do errands once, but he didn't want to be stopped by people from two major sects. ”

"Subsequently, the fight was won, and he proudly left the name of the sect, thinking it was an honor, but the two of them instantly had confidence again, Qingmo was still a small sect that relied on the city to put it bluntly, how could the disciples of their two big sects be willing to be bullied by the master, so they found someone to call the door."

"And then your master was beaten?" Zhou Nuo asked.

Han Feng shook her head, looked at Han Yue, she also lowered her head, and then said: "Not only that, they led people to loot the entire sect, and in the end, it was thanks to the appearance of the Molan Academy that Qingmo was saved. ”

"So, the elders of Molan Academy sympathized with the master and said that if he reported Mo Lan's name when he encountered this matter, no one would dare to call the academy, and the master still remembered it and kept warning his disciples not to say that he was a disciple of this non-mainstream sect outside, but to report the name of Molan Academy."

sighed, but also sad, because of a catastrophe smoothed all the edges and corners, "Then your master can still be the head?" ”

"That's right, because he is the only one in the sect who is old, so he has become the head of the sect."

Zhou Nuo was also very embarrassed, seeing that he said it so naturally, he didn't know what to say, "There's nothing wrong." ”

Ling Tian also burst out laughing, and couldn't help but say, "Your sect really respects the old and loves the young. ”

There is no way to do it, what their sect says is a well-known sect, but what is unpleasant is that it is a gang established by a few people, there is no position that should be there, there are no exercises needed, and it is all about faith?

"Alas, don't say it, it's all tears." Fortunately, they are all more optimistic in the cold wind, and they can also go down with the sect.

Suddenly, the hull of the ship shook again, and the black shadow came over like crazy, "Don't panic, this is the boundary we have to cross, and it will be fine if we pass." The old voice of the boatman sounded, and at the same time, the moment the black shadow approached the ship, the golden light flashed, and it was shaken back, and the strong power made people's hearts tremble.

"Is this the power of the boatman?" Zhou Nuo was slightly amazed in his heart, but it also proved that he was right, he really couldn't be on the road without any ability...... Mixed on the river.

But why did he become a boatman with all his skills? Or rather, the ferryman.

"Boy, do you see, the old man said that it will be fine!" The feeling of speaking this time is completely different, if it is said that it was self-confidence just now, then there is a sense of arrogance.

"The seniors are mighty, the seniors are so handsome, the seniors I am your fan......" Zhou Nuo's words against his will were very satisfied, and nodded, "I know you little guys have questions, but when you reach my age, you should understand, people, you have your own way, this decision is up to you, and it is your own path that you decide." ”

"It's a big problem to say that you can't go, and you can't go out, just like ferrying here, not for the money, this is the way I chose, labor is the most glorious, hahaha." The boatman was worth it, but there was part of the reason he didn't say.

Once in a city, the river was turned into a stagnant water, not because it would not flow, but it was said that there was a god there, not to be disturbed, and coincidentally, everyone who wanted to take a boat was spared, and all the cultivators of Zhujin Dan were missing.

There was a little boy kneeling on the side of the road, his face was covered with dust, as if he hadn't eaten for a long time, tears on his face, his mother was seriously ill at home, and he had no money to buy medicine in the big city, and there were no medicinal materials here.

Everyone looked at him indifferently, and occasionally a few soft-hearted people gave him some money, but it was far from enough, knowing that there was a Taoist leader, "Little doll, what's wrong with you?" ”

The young man raised his head, looked at the Dao Leader of the Immortal Wind Dao Bone, grabbed the corner of his clothes tightly, and cried: "Please save my mother, she is dying!" Seeing him crying, worried to the point of heartbreak, the Taoist nodded and walked with him.

My mother's injuries were extremely serious, and the poison in that place was the long-lost poison, the silver thread!

He didn't know who was going to kill his mother, he didn't even know what silver wire was, but he knew that the doctor in the city had said that if he had money to buy medicine in the big city, he could save it, so he desperately raised money.

The Taoist wanted to tell the truth, there was no cure for this, but he still held back, although sometimes the broken hope was more desperate, but at least it could make people have a little bit of fighting spirit, so he said: "Your mother is too seriously injured, if she doesn't come back within three days, she will definitely die!" ”

"But this place is too far away from Mo Lan, even if I take you to fly there, it will take a long time, and there are no magic weapons to use......"

The boy thought for a long time, he didn't want his only hope to be lost, and then he thought of the uninhabited land, the backwater.

There was no shortage of boats, but no one went down and the gods were not in force, and no matter what dangers or stagnant waters, he stepped on the river alone despite the dissuasion of thousands of people, and his thin body rowed the oars, and the boat went to the river very cooperatively.

The Dao Chang blocked him to no avail, but if there was a change on the boat, he would be pulled back at any time, even if there was no change, there would be a change, because his mother was destined not to live, and besides, the cultivation of the Dao Chang Yuanying was strong, and it was not without a chance.

After a long time, it has been far away from the place of life, when the night falls, the changes follow like a shadow, the water surface sets off waves, a black shadow breaks through the water, this is a person with a human body and a fishtail, before he can see it clearly, he sees it rushing over, "Click, click." "The boat was already fragile, and this time it collapsed directly, and the Taoist took the boy in his arms and retreated to the shore, almost reaching it when Edgeworth rose.

Back in the city, the boy knelt down at his mother's bed without saying a word, and his mother smiled, but said nothing, but smiled softly, and the silver thread went faster than usual, and ended her life that night.

The boy had no father, and was dependent on his only relative, and now that she was dead, she also took out the dagger at home, aimed it at her wrist, and was silent as water, and her face was like ashes, but the Taoist took the knife and made a deal with him.

He taught the boy to cultivate, and the boy would take revenge in the future, but in fact, he just couldn't bear to let the child die like this, just like that, the boy agreed, and he became a disciple of the Taoist, cultivating day and night, sometimes the same door and even the opponent couldn't stand it, but he never mentioned the sad experience with others.

Later, the boy had matured, he knew all the truth but did not know whose plan it was, his strength had reached the point of distraction, and he embarked on the road of seeking revenge alone, but he was confused, because he really did not know who it was, and the strange poisonous silver thread disappeared without a trace.

So he returned here without believing in evil, looking at the backwater that blocked him and broke his hope, he could no longer calm down, and the overwhelming aura blasted towards the river, whether it was a small fish or a small shrimp or a monster that had just been cultivated, they all began to hide.

After a long time, he finally calmed down, staring at the stagnant water, as if he had a goal, "They say that you are stagnant water, a river of dead people, they say that there are gods in you, but I don't believe it, I have seen you, you were in my way seventy years ago, and when I come back today, I will not let you block anyone." ”

Then he built a small boat with a wave of his hand, on the independent river, carrying people who had no choice but to take risks, and there was only one destination, that is, Molan.

He was seen every day, and the boat seemed to be his symbol, never changing, guarding it with all his heart, carrying him during the day and guarding it at night.

It's like an isolated island in the sea, where a blue whale survives and guards it, never separated.

This is faith, for that sad love, that family affection, that persistence, he is on par with the water monster, and no one can do anything about it, so he never leaves, relying on himself to protect the whole river.
