Chapter 123: Hanyang Peak of Jiujiang Mansion
In the end, Jiang Ping asked Bai Yunrui to pick, and whoever picked it had to follow!
As the saying goes, if there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, the first Bai Yunrui decided to bring Jiang Ping, Jiang Ping was quite happy and said that my old bones seem to be a little useful!
The thin-necked big-headed ghost Fang Shu'an volunteered! "Uncle, you have to take me! Although my skills are low, I can give you advice, and being a dog-headed military advisor is more than enough! ”
Bai Yunrui naturally agreed, at least he would not be lonely on the road with Fang Shu'an!
The heart said that you have to bring a few who can fight, and you have to take care of the troubles of the elderly, and you are not too familiar with it, and in the end, I think it is better to find young people!
Xu Liang didn't know how to water, and finally decided to take Brother Xiaoqijie seven when he could fight water, and these seven felt that Bai Yunrui was very happy to see him!
In the end, Bai Yunrui put his eyes on the little spirit boy Jiang Huan, the little spirit boy was even happier, he himself was happy to be moved or not, others treated him as a child, but Bai Yunrui regarded him as a brother, which made him very moved!
In the end, I felt that with Bai Yunrui, eleven people went to Jiujiang Mansion to find the Nine Purple Lotus!
Master Lingkong and Ouyang Chun, a northern knight, also wanted to go, but they were afraid that Lotus Guan would play tricks, and they couldn't walk away from the hard pillars, so they could only tell Bai Yunrui and the others to be careful!
Bai Yunrui asked Mr. Liu Shiqi again if he could guarantee the safety of Ouyang's old swordsman for twenty days!
Liu Shiqi gritted his teeth and said, "As long as I don't die within twenty days, Old Swordsman Ouyang can't die!" ”
Bai Yunrui and Jiang Ping said hello to Master Bao again, and brought four more captains because some chores needed someone to do, and these four captains were also very good!
After that, fifteen people traveled lightly, and fifteen fast horses went straight to Hanyang Peak in Jiujiang Mansion!
Along the way, it was a fast horse, and on the third day, I arrived in Jiujiang Mansion, and in the past two or three days, I have been tired enough to choke these ten people, and I know that the time is urgent, and I will grit my teeth and run as much as I can!
I found a big restaurant with good wine and meat, I was really tired in the past two days, and I was eating Bai Yunrui's set with the shopkeeper almost:
"The shopkeeper heard that you have a Hanyang Peak here, it's good to be there!"
This shopkeeper is in his forties, looking very easy-going, and when he looks at Bai Yunrui and his companions, he knows that he is not an ordinary person, and he dare not underestimate it!
"Hanyang Peak, there is nothing you don't know in Jiujiang Mansion, you are a foreigner to play, this Hanyang Peak is not far from us;
It's less than forty miles, and I suggest that you take the waterway, which is also a great wonder of our Jiujiang Lake. However, you can only look at it from the sidelines, but don't go inside! ”
Bai Yunrui jokingly asked: "Why is it difficult that there are monsters in the river!" ”
"Oh, my son, you guessed it right, I heard that there is a dragon here, you have to be careful!"
"I, the shopkeeper, still don't believe in evil, you can tell me more!"
"Childe, I don't want to say the specifics, I really don't know, if you take the boat tomorrow, you can ask the boat boss, they know more than me when they leave every day!"
Bai Yunrui thought about it, and now that the sun is about to set, he told the shopkeeper to open seven or eight more upper rooms, preferably a single courtyard, we don't like to be disturbed, and of course we are not afraid of spending money!
The next day, Bai Yunrui went to the dock to hire a boat, and as soon as the boatmen heard that Hanyang Peak was coming, they didn't know how much money they were given, and Bai Yunrui was so anxious that he scratched his head.
Later, he found a more simple boatman, and Bai Yunrui patiently discussed with him:
"There are fifteen of us in total, you send us in to do some errands, and we will come back when we are done, and we will give you as much as you want, what do you think?"
The shipman was very loyal, and he said, "Young master, how much silver you give is a trivial matter, mainly because it is too dangerous, and if you don't get it right, you will take your life;
We have a family to talk about, because of these crimes, all of them are really not willing to go. ”
"Hanyang Peak is so scary, do you want to put your life on the line?"
"Young master, you don't know that you are a foreigner. If you want to go up Hanyang Peak, we'll have to take a boat to pull you down, but that's too dangerous;
Especially in recent years, I don't know what happened in the water, as long as he was there, the water would rise, and there would be no wind and waves, and the top of the boat would be overturned.
If you're lucky, you'll be killed, and if you're unlucky, you'll be over. Up to now, there are more than 100 people who have been swallowed up by the river, you say, who dares to approach that? ”
"Oh, that's it. Captain of the ship, even if we are destined, you can take the nine of us on a trip, and if we encounter danger, we will come back;
Don't worry, we are all practitioners, and we will definitely keep you safe! If you're in trouble, come with us! ”
Bai Yunrui took out one hundred taels of silver and handed it to the boatman. When the boatman saw this, he gritted his teeth and agreed, and said in his heart that he had this hundred taels;
After doing it this time, I will buy a house and land, do some small business and never do this again!
In order to ensure safety, he hired four men from other ships, all of whom were skilled at making ships, and all of them were very good at water. Everything was ready, and Bai Yunrui and his party of fifteen people abandoned the shore and boarded the boat.
The boat was about three or four zhang long and five and a half feet wide, and these people came up wide and wide, and they went down the river to Hanyang Peak.
Bai Yunrui and Jiang Siye sat on the bow of the boat, looking up at the sky, but they saw that the blue sky was like a wash, and there was not even a little wind.
This boat is on the river, and this is as smooth as on land. Everyone didn't speak, each thinking about their own thoughts. Then he saw that the boat came down from the mountains steadily, and saw that the mountains on both sides seemed to have been cut by a knife.
Bai Yunrui approached the boat boss and asked, "There are so many mountains, I don't know which one is called Hanyang Peak?" ”
The boatman pointed with his hand and said, "Uncle, look up and look ahead, the highest mountain is called Hanyang Peak." ”
Bai Yunrui stepped forward to take a look, this mountain is really the crown of the mountains, counting it is the highest, and the top of the mountain is covered with clouds and mist.
Bai Yunrui asked curiously: "Boss, have you heard that there is a Tianchi on this Hanyang Peak?" ”
"Hmm, Tianchi? Haven't heard of it. When Bai Yunrui heard it, it was strange, the locals didn't know why, maybe it wasn't called this name!
Then Bai Yunrui asked again: "Are there water bubbles on this mountain?" ”
"Yes, it's on the top of Hanyang Peak." Bai Yunrui thought to himself: This must be Tianchi.
"By the way, the boat boss, didn't you say there was something in the water, why didn't you see it!"
"Ouch, my young master, don't you dare to talk nonsense, that's the Dragon King!" After that, I chatted by the boat!
"I'll tell us about it, we're interested!"
The captain didn't dare to say anything, and he talked about him with a strong heart!
At this moment, a shirtless and dark-skinned young man spoke, "What a dragon lord, it's a two-headed evil dragon, phew!" It's just two brutes! ”
The young man was interrupted by the boat boss before he could say anything, and then under Bai Yunrui's threat and the temptation of money, the black boy finally told the truth!
It turns out that this river doesn't know when a few evil dragons came! Some people say that there is more than one, some say there are four or five, and some people say that there is only one seven or eight zhang long;
There are also those who say two or three zhang, and there are also those who say anything anyway, but what everyone can unify is that there is indeed something in the water, and it is not small, not even one!
Bai Yunrui and the others all frowned secretly when they heard this, and said in their hearts that they didn't know if this had anything to do with Tianchi!
The boat continued to go down, and at this time it was not far from Hanyang Peak. Bai Yunrui said: "Pull aside, pull aside, please stop, we have something to do down." ”
The boatman docked the boat, dropped the anchor, put on the gangplank, and Jiang Ping and the nine went ashore. Bai Yunrui said to the boatman:
"We have something to do up the mountain, please wait here for this boat, at most we will definitely be able to come back before dark, and you will send us back to Jiujiang."
"Young master, don't delay for too long, otherwise as soon as the weather changes and the river loses its temper, we won't be able to go back."
Bai Yunrui spread his hands and said, "Don't worry, the boss of the boat, no one's life was picked up." ”
"Okay, everyone, go and go back quickly, let's take the sunset as the standard. If you don't come back, we'll have to go back. ”
"Alright, it's a deal." Bai Yunrui asked the two lieutenants to wait here, in case these people change their minds and want to leave, what should they do!
Bai Yunrui and the thirteen people took the application things they had prepared when they came, and began to climb the mountain along the winding mountain road.
As the saying goes, looking at the mountain and running a dead horse, looking at the mountain is in front of you, it is really not easy to climb up.
Relying on the fact that these thirteen people have mastery in their bodies, it is not so difficult to walk the mountain road. Despite this, after walking for a long time, one by one was also out of breath.
