Under the hazy moonlight, the fog was filled.

The blood stains on the board of the boat were washed away with clean water by the sweaty guys, but the pungent smell of blood still lingered, and in the face of the complaining guests on the boat, Liu Yiyi had to solemnly promise that when he arrived in the nearby riverside town, he would definitely buy good spices.

What made her even more embarrassed was that after the battle last night, many of the guests on the ship had already been frightened, and by the time the thieves retreated, more than half of the merchants on the ship had run away. This is naturally vacant guest rooms, as for whether to inform Xia Ze and Lin Luqing.

Luohua intends to follow the flowing water, she knows, as for whether the flowing water has a heart for falling flowers, she is not sure. In case one of them is angered by this, and there is another accident where the people of the Water God Mansion or other forces come here, how can it be good if they come forward without them.

So the entire crew of the ship tacitly chose nothing to happen.

It is worth mentioning that the bodies of the thieves who were originally left on the boat could be thrown directly into the river according to the custom, but Xia Ze generously left her a sting money, saying that he wanted to invite the people on the boat to drink, just to bother you to help put those corpses into the ground together.

As for the girl Yu Yao who died of her master, she secretly left at some point.

At noon, Liu Yiyi stood in front of Xia Ze's door, holding food, stretching out her hand to knock on the door several times, and finally stopped. She looked at the sky, it was not too early, and she estimated that everyone inside should be awake.

But I don't know if the cultivators have any special hobbies, and what if they knock on the door at this time and disturb their practice? Liu Yiyi was a little uneasy in her heart, thinking that she had just met Nahui, and it would be more natural to get along with them.

Liu Yiyi bit her lip, turned her heart sideways, and quietly put her ears on the door panel, but she didn't hear clearly, so she put her ears closer to her, but this is the occasion, you have to pay attention to the movement in your heart again, and be careful not to make too much noise, Liu Yiyi can't help but want to laugh.

As a result, the next moment, a gust of wind blew by, and all Liu Yiyi's dignity was blown away.

"Miss Liu, what are you doing here?" Xia Ze was puzzled.

"I...... I ......" Liu Yiyi blushed and hesitated, "I want to bring food to Mr. Xia and Miss Lin, but I am afraid of disturbing you and Miss Lin's rest, so I ........"

Xia Ze smiled kindly and took the food in her hand: "I'm really sorry for your trouble."

"Please use it slowly...... When it's time for dinner, I'm ...... I'll be here to deliver food..... Retire first....." Liu Yiyi turned around with a snort.

But before she fled, she tried to take a look inside the house out of the corner of her eye.

The red-clothed child lay on the bed on all fours, sleeping soundly, and the drop of hara flowed from the corner of his mouth to the ground.

The girl in pink neatly placed the bags of copper coins on the chair, counting them one by one, her eyes radiating excitement.

The boy in Tsing Yi sat cross-legged on the ground, seemingly meditating, accompanied by a breath and an inhalation, and the rhythmic rhythm of the colorful glow on his body.

As for Lin Luqing, he closed his eyes and breathed at the same time, which made Liu Yiyi more and more lost in addition to being embarrassed. After today, she said that she would not come to deliver the food herself.

Xia Ze didn't think about it so much, he walked into the house, closed the door tightly, and then woke everyone up to eat.

Originally, there were only him and Lin Luqing when they boarded the ship, but after last night's battle, the identities of Swallow Heaven and Chen Dongyou have been revealed, so there is no need to hide. And Liu Yiyi took care of Xia Ze and his party, and specially carried a rich meal.

For dinner that day, it was still a meal made of fish caught in the river, including fragrant fish rice, braised fish, steamed fish, and a bowl of clear fish soup.

Lin Luqing had already entered the stage of Bigu, but looking at the end of Xia Ze's eagerness to call them to eat, the three meals a day were as usual.

As for Swallow Tian and Chen Tanjing, these two little gluttonous cats don't need Xia Ze to call at all, and when they smell the smell of rice, they will naturally sit at the table as quickly as possible.

Chen Dongyou is the last to come over every time, and every time he eats, he chews and swallows slowly, as if he is not eating, but performing a solemn ceremony, which is particularly eye-catching in the eyes of the swallowing of dates. But Xia Ze knows, after all, in the hundreds of years that Chen Dongyou has been a stove boy, what he has done the most is not to eat, but to take care of the tribute of the stove prince.

Lin Luqing frowned, looking at the piece of fatty fish meat and the dazzling fish bones in the bowl, and couldn't put his mouth down for a while.

Xia Ze just helped Chen Tanjing shave off the fish bones with chopsticks, and when he saw Lin Luqing's dilemma, he immediately reached out and put a piece of fish meat with the fish bones removed in Lin Luqing's bowl, and then fed the original piece of fish meat to Swallow Tian, he has always swallowed it with bones, and at first scared Xia Ze enough, but the latter was completely fine, so he put his mind at ease.

Lin Luqing sandwiched the piece of fish, and her pretty face was covered with a touch of crimson.

Xia Ze was completely out of the situation, and wondered, "Miss Lin, in Tianlan Mountain, do you rarely eat fish?"

Lin Luqing nodded: "My master and my brothers and I have already opened the valley, but there are many very famous cooks in Tianlan Mountain, and they usually only cook so many dishes when important guests visit, of course, we have few friends in Tianlan Mountain and many enemies, so even the chefs also cultivate together."

In fact, she didn't dare to say that the fish she ate was all picked by the master with the help of the master, so she talked about him left and right, and what she said was foggy.

Chen Tanjing took a big bite of rice while listening to the conversation between the two of them, but was amused by Lin Luqing's words, and choked her coughing.

Chen Dongyou patted her on the back and advised, "Eat with a ......

He turned his head to look at the swallow who was eating the sauce and soup all over his face, and the latter smiled at him like a fool, he sighed silently and muttered, "Out of sight, out of mind, out of mind, out of mind......

Xia Ze suddenly smiled and said, "Miss Nalin knows, which season is the best fish?"

Lin Luqing couldn't help but get a little nervous, it was the same last time, Leng Buding threw her a question, and before she could answer, Xia Ze said that he knew, and said that he understood, and he wouldn't care. Afterwards, the roots of Lin Lu's teeth itched, he understood, he knew a fart.

So she hurriedly replied, "Spring? Or is it summer? Autumn? Winter, right?"

Swallowing Heaven covered his mouth and snickered, Chen Dongyou couldn't help but laugh and teased, "Sister Lin, what kind of answer are you, basically summarize all the standard answers."

Lin Luqing looked a little cramped, but Xia Ze squinted and smiled, "Miss Lin is right, there is no standard answer to this question."

Do you really ask about fish? What kind of medicine is this guy selling in a gourd? Lin Luqing picked up the rice bowl and waited respectfully for Xia Ze to reveal the answer.

"Childe, why is it all right, I heard that the taste and texture of fish are different in each season." Chen Dongyou was interested and spoke.

But Xia Ze nodded with a smile, and said: "In our Yunxi Town, the horse crying grave outside, even a huge river, when the fish grow up, there will be many fishermen in the town, with their children, carrying fishing nets to the river to cast nets to fish."

Speaking of the rise, Xia Ze raised his head, full of happy smiles: "We have a mantra, New Year's cauliflower perch, February saury, March mandarin fish, April anchovy, May white fish, June bream, July eel, August catfish, September crucian carp, October grass carp, November silver carp, December herring. That's why I said that Miss Lin's answers are all right."

Xia Ze lowered his head, took a few bites of rice, and couldn't help but slow down his chopsticks: "But here I am, when I was a child, my family told me my fortune, saying that I was short of water and couldn't get close to the river, so every time my eldest brother and my father went fishing, they didn't take me, I could only watch from the river, my mother said that I was looking forward to it once a month, and my father could catch several different fish in his fishing nets." As long as I eat enough of twelve kinds of fish, I will grow a year old, so I always hope to eat a few more, and then I will grow up quickly and go to the river to prove that the fortune teller is all bullshit."

Swallowing Tian silently stopped the progress of eating, and looked at Xia Ze, Chen Dongyou and Chen Tan with two eyes open from the edge of the bowl

Jing took small sips of food, this was the first time Xia Ze had talked to them about himself.

There was gradually an indescribable emotion in Xia Ze's eyes, either sadness or nostalgia: "Later, I didn't eat enough twelve kinds of fish, and my father and mother were gone. Later, I don't like to go up to the river and watch the fishermen, because I know that none of the fishing boats on the river belong to my family. But that didn't stop me from fishing and fishing, but I didn't dare to go to the middle of the river to cast my net at first, so I could only use my own small broken fishing rod to catch three or five catfish, light them up and dry them, and steam them with rice.

If it was among the people present, He Xu, he would definitely jump up with a sudden realization, because there are always a few days in the month, there will be a string of dried cat fish hanging on the fence of the yard, there is not much meat, but it is just right for dinner, and He Xu will pick a piece and chew it in his mouth, which is fragrant. He also asked He Xi who put the fish in their yard, and He Xi smiled and said that it was probably the night cat who released it.

He Xu is not a fool, this wild cat can still dry the fish and skewer it? Later, he gradually got tired of eating, and complained to He Xi that this fish was a little meat, it was not delicious at all, and he wanted to eat meat. As a result, for several days, the "wild cat" did not bring him fish.

He Xu was a little flustered, feeling that he was a little insatiable. Who would have thought that later, every once in a while, there would be fish on the fence again, and there were many varieties and big ones.

Xia Ze will never forget the years when he groped on the river, he could get wet every day, especially in winter and spring, when the ice and snow will melt, and the wind blows on the river for a while, which can make people's lips cry purple. Once accidentally fell into the river and almost couldn't get up, thanks to the old man Song Xi plunged into the river to save him, and then scolded him half to death.

After that, he taught Xia Ze to cast the net and go into the water, which was the most impressive thing in Xia Ze's life except for the death of his father and eldest brother, and it was also the place where he was most grateful to Old Man Song Xi.

Lin Luqing couldn't interject at this time, there were many words that she hadn't heard, she heard a rough idea, such as being in Tianlan Mountain thousands of miles away, but she never knew that a fish had to go through such a complicated process when it was served to the table. I just feel that the fish in the bowl is more and more delicious.

Lin Luqing stacked the dishes and chopsticks on the table, then put his hands on his cheeks and stared at Xia Ze like a kitten.

"If you want me to say, the autumn rain is the best, the autumn fish will survive the winter, the meat is the fattest and the most tender, especially the crucian carp, and the soup is cooked with white tofu, the soup is fragrant." Xia Ze slowly walked out of his memories, but saw several people beside him, all of whom looked attentive.

Chen Dongyou wanted to remind him at first, but he didn't say anything, but he was inexplicably brought into this story and gradually became fascinated.

Chen Tanjing held the corner of Xia Ze's clothes and said with a smile, "Childe, childe, next time you eat, can you tell a story like today."

Lin Luqing also spoke: "I agree, besides, there must be fishing nets on this boat, when the time comes, I will borrow them from Miss Liu, you can show me, how to fish, okay?"

"This ......," Xia Ze looked embarrassed.

But the eyes of the people on the other side were particularly hot, and finally Xia Ze had to nod and say, "Yes, but I haven't fished for a long time, if I can't catch it then, don't laugh at me."

"Good! Naturally not! Childe is the best!" Chen Tanjing cheered.

This meal was the most enjoyable in the past few days.

It's just that after eating, everyone entered their own cultivation state again.

Xia Ze took out a few bags of snow money, handed them to Lin Luqing, and said, "Miss Lin, these bags of fairy money. My share with Miss Lin will be counted as compensation for Miss Lin."

didn't want Lin Luqing to return the bags of fairy money to her, so he crossed his arms around his chest and said, "What do you think of me Lin Luqing, and besides, you don't owe me anything."

She also kept looking at Xia Ze's expression, then sighed, had to take out a bag of copper coins and put it away, and said with a smile: "Forget it, don't be in vain, it's just that your fairy money is less than one-tenth of my inch, so this girl will stay as pocket money."

No

Ignoring Xia Ze's repeated dissuasion, Lin Lu Qingyu reached into the bag and gave Chen Dongyou and Chen Tanjing a snow coin each. The three little ones were suddenly as happy as if they were celebrating the New Year.

Swallowing Tian did not hesitate, and swallowed it into his mouth in one bite. Chen Dongyou and Chen Tanjing looked at the golden copper coin engraved on the front and back with the words "Heaven and Earth Closed", and the words "Twilight and Cold", as if they were dreaming. It's just that the two of them didn't want to swallow the sky, and ate it directly, but carefully put it away.

You must know that a heavy snow coin is enough for demigods and half-ghosts like them to calm their minds, and then smoothly step into the Middle Five Realms.

So Lin Luqing felt strange, but unexpectedly, Xia Ze smiled, and then gave the three copper coins to the three of them each.

He smiled and whispered, "Eat, I'll find a way to do the rest of the matter, and I'll give you a big snow money every month in the future."

Chen Dongyou's eyes were a little guilty, and he stopped talking, but Chen Tanjing's eyes were red and he nodded heavily.

Lin Luqing then quietly approached Xia Ze and asked softly, "They two little guys, what are they doing, one snow coin is not enough?"

Xia Ze closed his eyes tightly and shook his head, as if he was extremely pleased: "Most of them want to save a little more money for the City God Lord before returning to Longshengzhou, so that after he enters the earth for peace, he can do a ritual in a beautiful manner."

Lin Luqing was suddenly enlightened, and opened his mouth in surprise, it stands to reason that now Chen Tanjing and Chen Dongyou are both his Xia Ze's people, but the two little guys still miss their City God Master in their hearts, this guy is not only angry, but sincerely feels relieved and very happy.

In other words, Lin Luqing definitely didn't understand it before, but now she can gradually understand Xia Ze's good intentions, so she smiled slyly, showed her white teeth, and said, "Xia Ze, I think about it, between us, there are still some favors to repay, do you recognize it?" Still not yet?"

Xia Ze was startled, immediately withdrew from meditation, and hurriedly nodded, "Miss Lin wants me to pay it back, I definitely want to pay it back."

Seeing Xia Ze's stubble, she secretly laughed in her heart that Xia Ze was set, so she continued: "That's good, I heard Miss Liu say that the ship will dock in a small town today, and the market there will be lively, will you take us to go shopping then?"

Xia Ze hesitated a little, looked at Chen Dongyou, and then nodded, "Okay, then we will go to the shore and have a look, and by the way, we will change your clothes."

As soon as the words fell, there were a few people left, cheering one after another.

Xia Ze smiled and shook his head slightly, and began to meditate cross-legged again.

In the past few days, he has become more and more familiar with the sword and ding sword technique, and the sword intent in his body that has been tempered is like entering a no-man's land when he walks through the tricks, but every time he passes by the Qifu Passes, he still has to be quite careful.

If you are not careful, those two mad dog-like gods and demons will temporarily let go of their grievances, be angry, and fight for thousands of miles to kill this sword intent.

It is worth mentioning that after yesterday's blessing of giving birth to the flying sword, when the two gods and demons came out of the nest to fight, Xia Ze could summon the two flying swords through the method of inner vision, and slightly resist the sword qi in the qi mansion for a while.

After getting Du Yuan's guidance, Xia Ze seemed to feel the knock on the door of the sword ding, but now no matter how hard he studied, he could only reach the smelting and forging layer in a superficial way. And every time it was accompanied by a large amount of white mist and heat discharge, for this matter, the few people present had already seen it.

There are still some fortunate things, such as every time he finishes his sword qi after traveling around the big and small Zhoutian, he can feel that his martial arts physique is constantly solid, like a piece of burned red pig iron.

To a certain extent, the illusion of boxing has laid his perception of fist intent, and it is also a solid foundation for him to ascend the Martial God Avenue in the future, and this sword and sword technique is constantly adding bricks and tiles to it, and even after his martial arts road reaches a certain height, it can also rise to another peak.

It's not that Lin Luqing hasn't seen other geniuses with outstanding martial arts in the rivers and lakes, it's just that like Xia Ze, who has experienced several wars and is still wandering in the fourth realm of martial arts, it is particularly abnormal. It stands to reason that the seventh realm is the most difficult watershed to cross, and she only figured it out later, Xia Ze seems to have said it

, From the first realm of martial arts to the fourth realm, it actually took him only a few months, which can be said to be very fast.

That's why he is stuck in this fifth realm pass, so looking at it, it is actually not too long, maybe when he really steps into the fifth realm, he may even be qualified to compete for the name of the strongest five realms.

After four hours, several people broke away from the state of Tuna, Lin Luqing excitedly pulled Xia Ze and said, "Miss Lin just said that it is only a short distance of less than two miles from that town, and when the time comes, the ship will dock on the shore for a while, and by the way, go up to replenish some water and food, and say let us rest assured and boldly play in the town, they will wait for us."

There is another thing she didn't say, that is, Liu Yiyi said that after knowing that she was going to go to the town with Xia Ze to visit the lantern fair, she said that she would beat her there, which was mysterious.

Xia Ze walked out of the house, slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, looked at the sunset that was gradually sinking on the river, turned his head to the young man beside him and smiled, "Let's start."

The young man in brocade nodded again and again, he was Gao Long, the second son of the old water god who was rescued by Xia Ze before, because Gao Yun deleted and modified the mantra for condensing water transportation to him, resulting in him getting to learn the water method with Xia Ze on the boat at this time of day.

It stands to reason that Xia Ze is a martial artist, and he should know nothing about this Tuna's cultivation, but when Gao Long really came into contact with him, he found that he could really be regarded as an idiot on the way to practice, and several times Xia Ze chewed a mantra repeatedly, repeating it no less than ten times, and he still couldn't remember it.

But Xia Ze was beyond ordinary people's patience, and instead of blaming him, he became more and more meticulous, so that Gao Long felt embarrassed.

"Is the old water god okay?" Xia Ze suddenly asked.

Gao Long raised his head, looked at Xia Ze's clear eyes, and said, "Dad's golden body was crippled by Gao Yun's punch, but the spirit is still fine, as long as I do my best to accumulate incense, it is expected that the golden body will be repaired in the future."

"That's ......" Xia Ze took out a handful of snow money from his arms, there were about twenty pieces, each of which was full of aura and brilliance, and then stuffed them all into Gao Long's arms, and said with a smile, "This is my greeting to his old man."

Gao Long was stunned, the heavy snow money in his hand was heavy, he wanted to resign, but he needed this money very much, you must know that this snow money could save him how many years of hard work.

The young man's spine gradually bent a little, his shoulders were still shaking, and he didn't even have the courage to raise his head to look at the young man his age opposite.

Xia Ze slapped him on the back, and shouted with a smile: "Stand up straight, if you really feel sorry for it, while I haven't gone to Daqi yet, send me a pot or two of wine, and drink a glass or two with me."

"Besides, I may have one more thing to trouble you......" Xia Ze was a little embarrassed.
