The next few days were smooth sailing, and there were few times when the bottom boatman was needed to rock the oars.

Zhou Bai stayed in the cabin every day to read and practice calligraphy, or was pulled by Yu Ling and Ma Liang to drink and chat.

Of course, as the name suggests, this is a collision and exchange of ideas between readers, otherwise there will be no progress in reading behind closed doors.

It's just that since he learned that Zhou Bai was the head of Bei'an, Ma Liang had to learn poetry with him, and he didn't know where to get a book of New Year's Cold, and praised it in front of him every day.

One day in the middle of the night, Zhou Bai couldn't sleep, met Ma Liang by chance, met at the bow of the boat to admire the moon, saw the lonely river and the bright moon, and then wrote a poem on the river.

"The wind and fireflies are in chaos in the water, and Jiang Yue is lonely ......"

Ma Liang is relatively tough, and he doesn't see Zhou Bai's seven-step stunt, so he doesn't believe it, but this time he was completely convinced.

In the later time, Yu Ling saw that Ma Liang was no longer pestering Zhou Bai, and it was a little strange, this was not an excuse for him to have one less communication.

On the boundary of Ruinan County, there was nothing noteworthy, but when he first came out of Ruinan, a Taoist official came up from the ferry port of Longfeng County.

The divine sense carefully probed, it was just an ordinary initiator, but it didn't seem to be weak, much stronger than Yu Yueyun's breath.

And judging from the dragon boats he stopped at the ferry, each dragon boat had a Taoist official go up, so it seemed that the next journey was unusual.

"Brother Zhou is from Bei'an, I don't know the situation in Ningjiang, in fact, starting from Longfeng County, you can see the other side of Ningjiang."

"Well, especially on a rainy day."

Since entering the boundary of Longfeng County, the surface of the river has become visible to the naked eye, and high mountains have begun to appear along the way, until more than ten miles later, the Ningjiang River seems to have turned into a canyon.

Dingzhou is bounded by Ningjiang, and there are four counties in the east and west, so the administrative division may also be the special control of Dingzhou when the Daxu Dynasty opened at the beginning.

With Ningjiang here, it is difficult for Dingzhou to form a whole, and even if there is turmoil in the situation, it is difficult to affect the entire state.

Overlooking from the sky, the main section of the Ningjiang River in Dingzhou is roughly straight from south to north, cutting Dingzhou in half.

However, this straight line, except for the section that enters the Tianjiang River, is very tortuous, only Longfeng County is very tortuous, because there is a section of the road called Ranjiao Gorge.

Someone described it like this: "South into Longfeng, to the mouth of the gorge for a hundred miles, the mountains and rivers are meandering, and the high mountains on both sides of the river are heavily obstructed, not in the middle of the day and the middle of the night, and the sun and the moon are not seen." ”

Maybe Ma Liang's mouth is really smart, or maybe the weather changes in midsummer are really unpredictable.

As soon as he entered the gorge, the wind and clouds suddenly changed, and the huge sails were instantly blown straight by the strong wind.

The clear sky, which had been cloudless a quarter of an hour ago, was now overcast in the blink of an eye, and the sun was completely obscured, and it was like night in the middle of this great gorge.

This gave Zhou Bai a feeling that it was even faster than the celestial phenomenon of the city emperor casting a spell to rain.

When the gong sounded on the dragon ship, a dazzling serpentine lightning tore open the dark sky, and then the earth-shattering thunder rolled from the sky.

"Lower the sails, lower the sails, call all the passengers back to their rooms......"

"Danger! Everyone went back to their rooms, closed the doors and windows, and grabbed the pillars themselves! ”

Even if the captain of this dragon ship has been running this route for many years and has rich experience, he still has no preparation in the face of the unannounced changes.

It's okay outside, but now that I've entered the Ranjiao Gorge, it's a real disaster!

After a while, the roaring wind carried the torrential rain and smashed wildly towards Ye Ye Bianzhou in the Ning River.

Yes, in the face of this kind of heavenly might, even if it is a 100-meter dragon boat, it is just a small boat that drifts with the tide.

Zhou Bai and Ma Liangyu huddled in the same room, looking at the terrifying celestial phenomena outside through the only glass window.

"The other side of Ningjiang you are talking about, is that true?!"

Faced with questioning, Ma Liang touched the back of his head and said, "Well, it seems that something is wrong today, in fact, I haven't been here either." ”

"Before going to the exam, I listened to what the people in the county said, we are all the same in Dingzhou, and there are only one less state exams in the exam, and most people will not have a chance to go out of the county until the township exam." Yu Ling hurriedly explained.

Zhou Bai nodded, the national situation is indeed like this, Daxu's counties are too vast, equivalent to the size of those peripheral states.

Ma Liang then added: "Villagers who have been to Longfeng County say that Jiaolong can be seen on this waterway, and Ningjiang perch has the most in this gorge. ”

Before he could finish speaking, his tone suddenly rose and became extremely terrifying.

He pointed to a direction on the glass window and said, "But I didn't expect to encounter so many dragons, those tumbling waves won't be all!" ”

At this time, the wind and rain became more and more violent, and the crackling sound of raindrops struck the screams of the full boat.

Zhou Bai naturally also saw that in front of the dragon boat, white lines of water waves quietly appeared at some point, chasing the huge waves set off by the strong wind.

Ordinary people who have never been here can't see the creatures of the waves, but Zhou Bai's eyes are clear, and it is clearly a dragon chasing a school of fish.

Perhaps there is a precious Ningjiang perch in it, containing dragon blood, a royal tribute fish that can be sold for a hundred taels of silver.

In his previous life, Zhou Bai passed by here, but he didn't encounter this scene, and now he has to be cautious.

Under that wave of waves, what was hidden was the dragon, and at the same time, it was also a gray calamity, indicating that these dragons obviously didn't want to be safe with the dragon ship.

"Bang!"

Sure enough, a dragon boat not far ahead was hit, and the underwater dragon chased the prey, but it didn't matter how much you did.

The sound of violent impact was like a thunderous roar.

Yu Ling said with a pale face: "Our Ruinan County also eats Ningjiang water, and the Ningjiang Dragon Palace has a clear edict to inform the people along the river that all dragon species will not innocently attack civilian ships and official ships, and these dragon gentians are too big." ”

"Aren't they afraid of the Dragon King's punishment, aren't they afraid of the Son of Heaven playing the Heavenly Court? Bastard! Ma Liang saw that a dragon boat was smashed again, and scolded angrily.

"Catch!" Zhou Bai didn't have time to agree, but immediately reminded the two to grab the fix.

The next moment, there was a muffled sound from the bottom of the ship, and the entire dragon ship began to shake violently.

"Evil animals, dare to hit civilian ships, not afraid of the ban of the Dragon Palace, not afraid of the majesty of the imperial court?!"

This voice was full of energy, even in this violent storm, it was very clear, and the official in the next room was suddenly relieved, this was the ship's official who took action to protect the ship.

Zhou Bai wanted to see the Taoist priest descending Jiao, so he opened a crack in the door and rushed out, just as a sword flew in front of him and went straight to the bottom of the water.

"Sickness! Chop! ”

Suddenly, a screaming cow moo came from the bottom of the water, and the surface of the water at the bottom of the boat was dyed blood-red.

Is this a ritual weapon? Sure enough, it is a deep Dao realm, and the mana is not weak.

It seems that the government of Longfeng County has been prepared, he once took a boat to this chaotic Jiaoxia Gorge, but there was no Taoist official to escort him.

A reckless dragon was severely injured, as if the wind and waves around the dragon ship were much smaller.

"The Dao Chief's hundred-step flying sword is already superb."

"Where, where, it is all with the help of the magic weapons issued above, it can only be said that it is thanks to the foresight of the imperial court."

"Now that it is the centennial Dragon King's debriefing period in Heavenly Court, I know that this miscellaneous Jiao of the Chaotic Jiaoxia will make waves!"
