At sunset, the light boat is like an arrow off the string, going down the river, and the mountains and gorges on both sides come from time to time with bursts of ape crying, so lively.

"Uncle, what is this sound?"

Yinglian on the boat blinked a pair of eyes that seemed to be able to speak, and her little face could not hide the trace of horror, she had never been far away, how could she have heard such a strange scream, she was so frightened that she grabbed the corner of Jia Chen's clothes and never left.

Jia Chen sat at the head of the bridge, standing still, seeing the little girl like this, he stretched out his hand and patted the other party's little head, smiled, and comforted: "It's not a rare thing, it's just some apes!" Those guys don't know how to water, don't worry, they won't make it! ”

The old man who drove the boat at the stern of the boat also said with a smile: "Childe is right, it is indeed some apes, I heard people passing by here say, the terrain here is dangerous, there are no big insects entrenched, these monkeys occupy the mountain as the king, so not chic, wandering in the mountains every day, frolicking and playing, than those of us who are serious people live freely, fortunately, these monkeys do not know how to water, nor hurt people, and the big guys do not care about them!" ”

Hearing the conversation between the two, knowing that it was not a demon or a monster, come over again, Yinglian was a little bolder, and then she hid behind Jia Chen and peeked a few times at the gorges on both sides, at this time the sky was already a little dark, looking from a distance, she could only vaguely see the general outline of the gorges on both sides, as well as the lush woods, the mountain wind echoed in the gorges, sending out bursts of whimpering, so frightened that her head shrunk, and hid behind Jia Chen again, her little hands were still clutching Jia Chen's clothes.

Seeing this, Jia Chen couldn't help laughing, and he didn't blame it, but just faced the mountain wind and looked into the distance.

When the old man saw this, his face couldn't help but be happy, the female doll in front of him was really interesting, looking at the dress, she was obviously Jia Chen's maid, but Jia Chen treated her very well, generally speaking, every time he encountered something, it was the subordinates who stood in front of the master, and when he came to him, it was the girl who hid behind the master, and he didn't see Jia Chen's anger, which couldn't help but make him sigh in his heart, why didn't his daughter meet such a good master.

"Uncle, what is the big worm?"

After a while, Yinglian poked her little head out again and asked softly.

Jia Chen thought for a while and said: "The big insect is a tiger, the appearance is similar to the cat at home, but the size is dozens of times that of the cat, there is a king pattern on the forehead, it has always been the overlord of the mountains and forests, fierce and abnormal, ordinary people encounter them, only escape!" ”

Yinglian sighed lightly, "Is it a big cat?" ”

Hearing this, Jia Chen shook her head helplessly, Yinglian has never been out of the house since she was a child, and she has never seen many things, so how can she know how terrible tigers are, cats are kept at home, they eat mice, and tigers can eat people in the mountains and forests.

The old man at the stern of the boat couldn't help laughing when he heard Yinglian's words, this little girl in front of him was really interesting.

Hearing the old man's laughter, Yinglian couldn't help but turn around and look at him, "Uncle, what are you laughing at?" ”

The old man said with a smile while driving the boat: "Girl, have you ever heard that there are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkey is called the king!" ”

Yinglian thought for a while, pursed her lips, and replied, "I haven't heard of it!" ”

The old man continued: "Why do you say that when the monkey only dares to be the king when the tiger is not there? In fact, in the final analysis, the tiger is powerful, if there is a tiger on a mountain, then it is the boss, everyone is afraid of it, the majesty is tight, three or five young and strong men can not be provoked, a big mouth of blood basin can bite off a person's neck, three or two bites can eat a person with a belt bone into the stomach! ”

Yinglian's little face turned white, swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva, stopped talking, and unconsciously leaned closer to Jia Chen's side, obviously frightened by the old man's words, she didn't expect the big insect to eat people.

"Haha~"

Seeing this, the old man laughed twice, and at this time the night had slowly covered the entire land, and after hesitating, the old man asked out loud: "Childe, do we still want to continue sailing at night?" ”

Jia Chen looked at the river, his sight was indeed not very good, and he only looked out ten miles away with the big rhubarb court, far less than the daylight, after thinking about it for a while, he said loudly: "Let's get off the anchor first!" Rest for the night and leave tomorrow! ”

The old man nodded, his eyes were a little strange, he didn't know what he was thinking, but his hands and feet were sharp, he first leaned the boat to the shallow place on the shore, and then took out a stone tied to a rope from the cabin and threw it into the river, fixed the boat, and then went to work.

Maybe the old man thought that it was getting late, Jia Chen couldn't see his expression, and he had an idea in his heart, but he didn't know that Jia Chen was already an extraordinary person at this time, and the strangeness on the other party's face made him see it clearly, if he didn't know the way, the old man in front of him who was doing murder and robbery would have gone to the Yama Hall to report.

As the night progressed, Jia Chen did not sleep, but meditated cross-legged on the bow of the boat, running the rhubarb court in his body, with the advancement of the cultivation progress, he became more and more aware that the rhubarb court was not simple, in the snow, the prince could reach that height, the rhubarb court has an irreplaceable role, and the same is true for his current self, this is the foundation, and he cannot be sloppy.

However, he does not have the luck of the world's son, as soon as he comes up, he is a full-level rhubarb court, he has practiced from scratch, subdividing the rhubarb court, there are about nine layers of realm, he is now the fifth layer, if he wants to reach the highest level of realm as soon as possible, he must cultivate diligently every day, so every day he will take out a few hours to run the qi in his body.

At night, the humidity on the river is heavier, Yinglian, who was napping by Jia Chen at the beginning, fell asleep on Jia Chen's lap at some point.

Any living creature has a nature of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, not to mention being alone, Yinglian is like this, in a daze, she naturally drills wherever she is comfortable, Jia Chen's side is lukewarm, of course she likes it.

As for the old man, he rested on the cabin, and from time to time he opened his eyes and glanced at the bow of the boat, but every time he saw Jia Chen's posture sitting cross-legged, the careful thoughts that rose in his heart faded again, the sober Jia Chen He was not an opponent, he insisted until the second half of the night, it was always like this, helpless, he shook his head with a wry smile, he couldn't understand that there were still people in the world who didn't sleep, knowing that things could not be violated, he went to sleep.

"Goo, goo~"

Around midnight, there were a few partridge sounds in the river, which was particularly loud on the river, which was so silent that only the water flowed.

Jia Chen, who was meditating, unconsciously opened his eyes, and the next moment, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he felt that there were several big ships seven or eight miles away, which were heading up the river, and this sound was not from a partridge, but from a person.

Pick this time to sail, you don't have to guess to know that this group of people must have ghosts.

After thinking about it, Jia Chen pointed in the air, stunned the old man who was driving the boat, and then took Yinglian off his lap, sent her back to the cabin, and gently touched her body, so that she fell asleep temporarily, and then the whole person jumped in the air, flew out of seventy or eighty zhang and tapped the river, and the whole person shot forward again, he wanted to see who this group of people was sailing in the middle of the night?

Yangzhou, patrolling the salt yamen, a small guy ran in in a panic, looking at the brightly lit study, he hurriedly walked in.

"Sir! Oh no! The official salt transported to Jinling was intercepted~
