Chapter Ninety-Nine: Maoshan Sealing Technique (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
The demon baby was forced back by the yang fire, and Uncle Nine quickly took action and fished it in his hand, with a powerful force, so that the demon baby couldn't move.
"Partridge!"
When the partridge heard this, he immediately bit his index finger and forced out a little essence blood.
"Seal!"
The partridge used its own essence and blood as a guide to perform the spell of banning, a puppet appeared in his hand, and a ban spell was marked on it, and after the spell was cast, it went straight to the demon baby.
"Roar!"
The demon baby suddenly let out a loud roar, even Jia Le could hear a trace of fear and anger from it, but unfortunately, dealing with the spirit baby and the demon baby, the partridge is a professional, this forbidden technique, it is very difficult to learn, but, no matter what the spell is, it is difficult to learn for people who have no talent, but there are such a small number of people, who are born special.
For example, the Partridge, which is difficult for others to learn, is much easier in the hands of the Partridge.
The puppet was attached to the forehead of the demon baby, and the power of the ban began to pour into the body of the demon baby, and then pulled it into the puppet little by little, and it didn't take long for the demon baby to completely submerge into the puppet's body.
"Knorr!"
Uncle Nine spoke up, and Jia Le did not contain a lake, which directly made the spirit crow spew out seven spiritual fires, and the puppet was suddenly ignited.
At this time, the demon baby has been ingested into the puppet, and the resentment and demon thoughts have also been banned, and it is the weakest time, and he can't resist the yang fire at all, accompanied by a roar, the demon baby is finally dissipated in the world with the puppet.
Seeing that the matter was finally over, the three of them were relieved.
I have to say that this little demon baby, the pressure on people is really not small, and it is even more difficult to deal with than some stiff hairs.
Uncle Nine immediately returned to his normal state.
Partridge looked at Jia Le with interest, "Jia Le, where did your master pick you up, I'll pick one up too, the Seven Star Life Protection Technique, you are already so proficient, our generation, that is, the senior brother has learned this technique, even I can't learn it, you have only been learning the Tao for a few years, and your progress is too fast." ”
Jia Le couldn't help but pout when he heard this, you think this is a child in the garbage heap, you can pick it up if you want to.
"Partridge, don't be weird, let's go see how Sister Lian is."
Hearing Uncle Jiu's words, Partridge couldn't help but glance at him, "One bite is a lotus girl, be careful that the one surnamed Long collapses you." ”
is obviously jealous, but Uncle Nine has no way to treat Lianmei, and there is no way to deal with partridges.
The partridge put the baby away and returned to Michelin's house.
"Partridge, how about you take a look at Sister Lian?"
There is no separation of medical Taoism, and ordinary cultivators will have some medical skills, not necessarily able to heal people, but they must be theoretical, and there will be medical Taoism in Maoshan Mountain, and partridges are the most proficient in medical Taoism in this generation.
The partridge had already come to Michelin's side, and looking at its pained expression, she couldn't help frowning.
It's just that Uncle Nine cares about Michelin, and when he frowned, Uncle Nine's heart twitched.
The partridge rolled its eyes again.
"Don't worry, it's just that the demon baby has gone, the fetal heart is unstable, and you need to quickly add another spirit baby to go in, and it will be born prematurely."
When Uncle Nine heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "Then choose one." ”
The partridge took out all the spirit babies, "Why don't you choose?" ”
Uncle Nine really intended to do this, but when he saw the dangerous expression of the partridge, he finally withdrew his hand in a sneer, "You are a professional, you can come." ”
"Humph!"
The partridge gave Uncle Nine an expression that counted him as acquaintance, and he chose one of the many spirit babies and sent it to Michelin's belly.
"Alright, you all go out."
The scene of giving birth to a child is something that ordinary people don't want to see, not to mention that this kind of private thing is not suitable for men to be present.
Uncle Nine left the house with Jia Le, Qiusheng, and Wencai, leaving only Nianying to help Partridge.
At this time, Long Dashuai also came back, naked, and only wore a pair of shorts.
"Long Dashuai, this is a big night to go swimming?"
Qiusheng looked at Long Dashuai, who was wet all over, and couldn't help but ridicule, Long Dashuai heard this, and suddenly felt embarrassed, thinking of the scene just now, he was scared, the maid who had been serving his wife was actually a ghost, thinking that he was almost a ghost, Long Dashuai, couldn't help but shudder.
"How's my wife?"
Although Long Dashuai ate the bowl and looked at the pot, his heart for Michelin was still true, and he rushed back as soon as possible.
"Wow!"
Uncle Nine was about to explain, but a burst of baby's cry came, and everyone was happy, the baby's cry was the purest and most reassuring.
"I gave birth, I gave birth, my wife gave birth, I have a son."
When Long Dashuai heard the voice, he was immediately overjoyed and rushed directly into the house.
"Brother-in-law."
Looking at the scantily clad Long Dashuai, Nianying was suddenly ashamed, but Long Dashuai didn't care about changing his clothes, so he rushed directly to Michelin, picked up the child, and Jia Le also followed.
"Wife, what's the name of our child?"
"Let's call Aiying."
is also invincible, Micheline shows her love so obviously in front of her husband, Long Dashuai can still be so affectionate with her, I have to say that Uncle Jiu's childhood sweetheart really has nothing to say in terms of subduing his own man.
"No, it's called Ailong."
The partridge was also fed up and took Uncle Nine away directly.
Dongtou Village.
In the Partridge's Infant Hall.
"Senior aunt, can I learn this forbidden technique?"
Knorr has an unknown space, but he is not greedy and chewy, the technique of banning is still very powerful, and it is also the shortcoming of Knorr at this time, if he can learn it, it can also make his strength soar.
Partridge looked at Knorr in surprise.
"Naturally, you can learn, but you have to be mentally prepared for Jia Le, you have good talent, but if you can learn the seven-star life protection technique, you may not be able to learn the Maoshan Forbidden Technique."
When Jia Le heard this, he hurriedly nodded, although he said so, but who let Jia Le hang up.
Uncle Nine saw that the partridge wanted to teach Jiale Maoshan Forbidden Technique, and he was also happy to see it, some masters were reluctant to teach their apprentices the technique, most of them were because they were afraid that they would not be good at learning, but they delayed their practice, but Jiale seemed to have no worries at all, it only took more than three years to get started, and he had already reached the peak of the Qi Transformation Realm.
This kind of speed, even in ancient times, is considered fast, Uncle Nine knows that Jia Le must have his own secrets, however, Uncle Nine has no heart to investigate, Jia Le has been by his side for so long, he also has a deep understanding of Jia Le, maybe not like them follow the rules, but they will definitely not do anything against the rules of Maoshan Gate.
The cultivation is so fast, it is not because of the cultivation of evil arts, for the respect of the teacher, for the harmony of the same sect, and can still abide by the rules of the door, such a disciple, it is too late for him to love it.
"Jia Le, your master has sent a message that he has already been out of the customs, are you going to go back this time, or will you stay with me for a while?"
Well! The four eyes are out!
Jia Le couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this, not to mention, the Four Eyes Retreat has been in retreat for four months, and he has also been out for four months, so he really misses it.
"Uncle Shi, then you can go back first, after I finish learning from my aunt, I will go back directly to see Master."
Jia Le also saw what Uncle Nine meant, he was not going to stay here at Partridge for long, as for what to worry about, Jia Le could guess a few points, in order to get Uncle Nine, Partridge was open-minded.
When Uncle Nine heard this, he also nodded.
"Okay, then you will first learn the Maoshan Sealing Technique from your aunt, and when you go back to see your master, you will return to Yizhuang when you are free, and I will go back with Qiusheng and Wencai first."
When the partridge heard this, he looked at Uncle Nine with some resentment, and Uncle Nine couldn't stand it anymore and hurriedly left.
Outside the door.
Knorr looked at the slightly melancholy partridge and couldn't help but say.
"Senior aunt, the senior uncle will be yours sooner or later, but now it is the time for the senior uncle to impact the god realm, and he doesn't dare to break the boy's body."
When the partridge heard this, his face suddenly turned ashamed, but the joy revealed in it was obviously impossible to hide.
"What are you talking about, you kid?"
said what the partridge likes to hear, it is naturally useful, and then the partridge's teaching of Knorr can be said to be very attentive, and Knorr finally knows why this forbidden technique is so difficult to learn.
Not only because it is too difficult to get started, but also because it requires a theoretical foundation and involves some arithmetic problems.
Looking at the dozens of Taoist books that Partridge gave him, Jia Le was also a little dumbfounded, he really didn't see that Partridge was still a scholar.
But it seems that he can't go back for a while, so Jia Le first wrote a letter to Simu, telling him to stay here at Partridge for a period of time to learn the Maoshan Sealing Technique, and Simu also replied, telling Jia Le that he had successfully broken through, so that he was not in a hurry to come back.
In the next two months, Jia Le seems to have returned to the time when he was in school, and began to gnaw on books, but learning the Maoshan Sealing Technique is more difficult than when he was in school, because it is not good to memorize, and it has to be understood.
It took Jia Le two months to thoroughly learn the dozens of Taoist books of Maoshan Sealing Technique.
But even if it took two months to eat it thoroughly, Partridge was full of praise, because it took her five years to eat these Taoist books thoroughly, even then, she was said by the ancestor to be talented, and Jia Le's performance was definitely a genius.
Jia Le didn't dare to accept the name of this genius, if it weren't for the unknown space to help him improve his understanding too much, even if he was given another two years, he didn't dare to guarantee that he would be able to eat these Taoist books thoroughly.
Moreover, if you eat the Taoist book thoroughly, you just have the foundation for cultivating the Maoshan Forbidden Technique.
True cultivation is just beginning.
"Jia Le, take a day off, and tomorrow I will officially start teaching you the Maoshan Sealing Technique."
Whether it is in the past life or now, teachers like good students, and the difference can only be known when you taste the teaching family music and teaching literature.
Jia Le is thorough at one point, and the partridge has the heart to pass down the Maoshan ban technique, which naturally makes the partridge do his best at the same time, but also very happy.
In an unknown space.
Jia Le began to practice the Great Sun God Shape True Technique, and now Jia Le is not only able to practice against the sunset, but the rising sun is no longer a problem, and two months have passed, and the energy beads of the black and white double evil, demon servant, and demon baby that Jia Le harvested some time ago have all been used up, and they have already started to use Xiang Yu's energy beads.
However, I have to say that Xiang Yu's energy bead is really not comparable to a qi refining level energy bead, and Jia Le has used it for nearly two months, but he didn't feel how much he consumed.
You know, in these two months, Knorr consumed a lot of energy.
The true body of the sun is only one step away from the entry, and today it is impossible to say that it can be completely introduced, and the yang and yin veins of the eight veins of the Qi Meridian have also been completely opened, and have reached the level of the Qi vein turning into the sea, but the more the meridian reaches the back, the more difficult it is, even if Jiale is not short of energy, he does not dare to rush too much, in case the meridians are destroyed.
Fortunately, half of the eight veins of this Qi Sutra have been opened, and the cultivation of the veins can be started tonight.
If you can completely enter the Sun True Body today, not only will you be able to absorb Yang Essence cultivation in the future, and you will no longer need energy to nourish your body, but you will also be able to truly complete the leap in qualifications, and your cultivation will only be faster in the future.
While visualizing the Great Day, Jia Le began to practice the Great Sun God Form True Technique.
With the proficiency of cultivation, at this time, there is no need to separate the body and soul from the cultivation, and the visualization of the big day can also be carried out at the sunset and the rising sun.
And it seems that this is the normal state, the body and the spirit are cultivating at the same time, and they are doing it simultaneously, which seems to be faster and more efficient.
If there is a progress bar, at this time, Knorr's Sun True Body Entry has already reached 99.9 percent, which is 0.1 percent short, and today it will be made up for this 0.1 percent.
Under the sunset, the yang essence converged into Knorr's body, and in his soul, Knorr sensed that the big day, getting closer and closer to him, as if he could merge into one in the next moment.
The yang essence enters the body and travels all over the body, making Jia Le feel the warmth of the big day.
With the cultivation, Jia Le not only did not have the pain when he started to cultivate, but he enjoyed the scorching heat of the big day a little, I don't know if it was because he was used to being abused, or because the sun was about to enter the true body.
Close, close.
Time passed minute by minute, and Knorr obviously felt that he was just a little close to the entry of the sun's true body, but he was stuck at this point, and he couldn't succeed for a long time, so even Knorr was a little anxious.
Until the sun sets, the moon rises and the sky is cloudy, when the two meet.
A moonlight was mixed with the yang essence, coming towards Jia Le and entering Jia Le's body.
Yin and yang, at this moment, Jia Le seems to understand something.
The Great Sun Divine Form True Recipe is still running, this is the first time that Jia Le has run the Great Sun Divine Form True Recipe at night to practice, but the strange thing is that when the Great Sun Divine Form True Recipe was running, one by one Yuehua was actually pulled by Jia Le and entered Jia Le's body.
Comfortable!
This is the feeling of Knorr, after the Yuehua Sutra Da Ri God Shape True Recipe was absorbed by Knorr, Knorr felt unprecedented comfort, in the soul, the big day born from the visualization, completely sunk into Knorr's soul, you have me, I have you, at this moment, Knorr feels, he seems to be the big day.
At this time, Jia Le finally understood why only the true body of the sun can absorb the yang essence, it turns out that the person who has the true body of the sun is the sun itself, and the yang essence enters the body, as if it is home, and it is naturally unhindered.
Lonely yin does not give birth, lonely yang does not grow, yin and yang are combined and everything is born.
Cultivating the Great Sun Divine Form True Technique and casting the Sun True Body does not mean that you have to completely abandon the lunar moon and embrace the Yang Sun alone, so if you want to get started with the Sun True Body, what you lack is the power of this moon, and now it has finally succeeded.
A pattern of the great sun appeared in the center of Knorr's eyebrows, which is the sign of Knorr's entry to the sun's true body, but what makes Knorr strange is that at the moment of the entry of the sun's real body, the originally dim unknown space actually rose a round of big sun, from eternal night to day, which made Knorr also very surprised.
Knorr felt that he was one step closer to solving the mystery of the unknown space.
After the introduction of the Sun True Body, Jia Le could feel that his body and soul had been baptized by the Great Sun, and his qualifications were directly improved several times.
After the introduction of the Sun True Body, Jia Le will practice the Great Sun God Form True Technique again in the future, and it will no longer be limited to the morning sun and sunset, let alone day and night, the big day is everywhere, all the time, and the night is just not visible, but even if it is night, it is also real, but it is farther away from Jia Le, but everyone who has the true body of the sun is the son of the sun.
No matter how far away it is, the sun can shine on Knorr's body.
The palm of his hand was spread out, and a golden flame rose from Knorr's hand, this is not Maoshan Fire Technique, but the Sun True Fire, however, Knorr is just getting started with the Sun True Body, this Sun True Fire is just like the natural welfare of the Sun True Body, and it needs to progress with the progress of the Sun True Body.
Today's true fire of the sun is only beginning to take shape, and the power is definitely greater than the flames emitted by the Maoshan Fire Technique, or even more powerful than the Yang Fire of the Spirit Crow, but it is 108,000 miles worse than the legendary Golden Crow Spitting Fire.
But even so, this hand of the sun is really fire, which is enough to become a killer weapon for Knorr, and the confidence to fight beyond the level.
The reason why it is said to be a killer feature is that it consumes too much mana, and a sun real fire can drain Jia Le.
The benefits of the introduction of the sun's real body, not only that, in the future, Jiale's body is like the sun, all the demons and monsters, the realm is lower than Jiale, if anyone dares to attack Jiale, touching Jiale's body, the light will be injured, and the heavy will be wiped out, just like a passive skill, commonly known as: walking little sun.
At this time, Jia Le finally knew that those who cultivated immortals and had a special physique were so popular, if Jia Le accepted apprentices, he would definitely like this kind of physique.
No way, it's too fragrant.
Exit the unknown space, at this time the seven spirit crows are all around the family music, the sun real body entry, not only the benefit is Jia Le, even these seven spirit crows are also benefited a lot, the seven spirit crows and Jia Le soul channeling, Jia Le in the visualization of the big day, the seven spirit crows also have a sense, especially this time when the sun real body entry, Jia Le was baptized by the big day.
These seven spirit crows are also stained with light, take a closer look, the seven spirit crows are feathers have turned into fiery red, and they have not yet broken through the demon pawn realm, they have successfully evolved into fire crows, the seven spirit crows at this time, to borrow a sentence, that is, the old hen has become a phoenix, the qualification has improved, and it is almost a logical thing to break through the demon pawn realm later.
Although the level of Qi Refining Realm, in ancient times, was just a demon pawn, which was not worth mentioning, but at this time, the demon pawn was already enough to stir up the situation in all directions.
After the seven spirit crows officially broke through, with the help of the seven fire crows, Knorr's strength could be improved a lot.
After getting used to the true body of the sun a little, Jia Le entered the unknown space again, ready to pass the pulse, and the practice of bringing the pulse began.
Goo-goo!
The rooster cries on the fifth watch, Knorr stopped practicing, and the pulse has been completely opened, because of the introduction of the sun's true body and the improvement of qualifications, this time Knorr has directly reached the level of the gas vein after opening up the vein, but in one night's time, it can only be done to this extent.
Today, he is about to start the formal practice of the Maoshan Sealing Technique, and Jia Le still has some expectations.
"Jia Le, there are many kinds of forbidden techniques, the patriarch once said when he preached, the avenue is three thousand, the way of banning, is one of them, in fact, the exercises and spells we are practicing now are all born from the avenue, some powerful monks enlightened and self-satisfied, and gradually have these exercises and techniques.
There are many kinds of banning techniques, but everything is the same, the purpose is the same, they are all bans.
My Maoshan Sealing Technique, also known as the Bagua Sealing Technique, is based on the principle of yin and yang, and you have already eaten those Taoist books, so you must also have some understanding, the technique of banning, cultivated to the end, involves the secret of time and space.
One of my ancestors in Maoshan, after the completion of the banning technique, actually banned himself at the moment before the end of his life, thus entering a state of immortality, but after the ban, he could not be thoughtless, even if he entered an immortal state, it was in vain.
Come, now let's start practicing.
The so-called seal is the most basic use of the sealing technique·····"
In terms of disciple brother alone, in Jiale's opinion, Partridge is stronger than Simu, of course, Uncle Nine and Ma Madi are even more incomparable.
Maybe it's because of the support of those dozens of Taoist books, or because the qualifications have improved a lot, Knorr's teaching of partridges is actually understood and learned as soon as you listen to it.
Gradually, by the time the sun set, Jia Le had already introduced the Maoshan banning technique.
After the partridge returned to the house, Knorr directly pinched the chickens in the yard and chanted a spell.
"Seal!"
Forbidden spells are those who can comprehend the way of banning, and after analysis, they can be transformed into concepts, and they can be sealed through spells, the power of the imperial envoy, sealing the veins, sealing the body, sealing the spirit, sealing the soul, and sealing the life; Forbidden laws, forbidden thoughts, forbidden gods, forbidden all things.
Jia Le's sealing technique has just started, and he can only seal the veins, bodies, and spirits of creatures whose cultivation is lower than his own.
The hen was banned by Jia Le and couldn't move for a while, and if you look closely, the whole chicken is no breathing, no blood flow, and no intelligence.
I have to say that this forbidden spell is indeed a bit terrible, if this spell is cast on someone, it's not to let him do whatever he wants, do whatever he wants, no, I can't think about it, it's too evil.
In the blink of an eye, another month has passed, and Jia Le has been here at Partridge for three months, but today he has completed the practice of the forbidden technique.
Of course, in three months, it is unrealistic to ban yourself as Partridge said, and to be immortal and immortal, but at this time, Jiale is no longer limited to banning the body and intelligence, and the realm is lower than that of Jiale.
Moreover, Jiale can also form a forbidden space one meter around himself, mosquitoes must not pass by, and birds cannot sweep my top.
If someone uses his divine sense to probe his own reality and reality, he will not want to do it, and if the cultivation is lower than that of Jia Le, if he suddenly sneaks up, in such a forbidden space, all spells will lose their due effect.
I have to say that this banning technique is really a bit against the sky.
However, it may be only Knorr, not everyone, such as the current Partridge, although this is not the first time in this month that the Partridge has been shocked, but after really seeing the progress of Knorr, as well as the results of Knorr, Partridge still can't help but be shocked.
It's really too genius, it's not terrible to be better than blue, but in three months, she was filmed dead on the beach, which is the most terrifying.
"Jia Le, my aunt, I have to admit that your master, you are definitely lucky, you can pick up a genius back with the kung fu of chasing a corpse, no, no, it's just envious of me, do you want to turn your head to my aunt and me, my aunt and I still have the ability to press the bottom of the box, as long as you turn over, I will teach you."
Looking at the partridge's expectant little eyes, Jia Le also smiled, Partridge estimated that that if Jia Le really switched to her, she might not necessarily accept it, maybe she would have to beat Jia Le, Maoshan door rules are strict, Jia Le also saw it, for these disciples who have been successful in Maoshan and are going down the mountain, most of them are Maoshan door rules deeply rooted in their minds, and they never dare to deviate.
At the very least, what he has seen, whether it is Simu, Uncle Jiu, or Ma Ma Di or Partridge.
"Senior aunt, don't make fun of me, if I really switch to you, you won't beat me."
When the partridge heard this, he was a little dumbfounded.
"Are you leaving?"
In fact, Knorr was ready to leave a few days ago, after all, the practice behind is no longer something that Partridge can teach, but Partridge left Knorr for a few days, and took out some of his own pressure box bottoms, but today it is estimated that there is nothing to teach.
Here, the partridge is mainly to raise babies, and then it is to cure diseases.
In his spare time, Jia Le often helps, so in the past three months, Jia Le has not only learned the Maoshan ban technique, but also has been a beginner to raising babies and Maoshan medicine.
"Yes, it's been seven months since I came out this time, and it's time to go back."
In one month, it will be Knorr's birthday, and Knorr is thinking about spending it with Simu.
The partridge didn't stay this time, "Then you can leave tomorrow, and my aunt will cook you something delicious tonight." ”
I have to say that the cooking skills of the partridge are really good, even Knorr can't compare, during this time, in addition to cultivation, Knorr enjoys the most is the partridge's meal.
"Okay, to be honest, my mouth has been raised by my aunt, and I guess I won't have an appetite for anything else in the future."
Hearing Knorr's words, Partridge was even happier, "Wait, my aunt will get it for you." ”
Looking at the back of the partridge, Knorr couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Whether it is in Simu, or Uncle Nine and Partridge, Jia Le can feel a sense of family, in this world, meet such a few people who are really good to him, Jia Le also feels that he has gone out of shit luck, even if it is a bad thing, there is nothing to say about Jia Le.
"Sister Partridge, Sister Partridge, quick, look at my son, what's wrong with him? Can't wake up no matter how you scream? Partridge, he's only six years old, you have to save him, woo. ”
At that moment, a hurried sound, accompanied by the sound of chaotic footsteps, burst into the partridge's yard.
The partridge also hurried out.
A young woman ran into the yard with a little boy in her arms, her face was anxious, her eyes were full of helplessness, and she was followed by many people, all looking anxiously at the child and the partridge.
Everyone said a word, and Knorr and Partridge finally listened to it.
The young woman and the child are from Dongtou Village, the boy is six years old, today and the friends went out to play, the little boy suddenly fainted, the other children saw the little boy faint, no matter how he screamed, they couldn't wake up, they were also anxious, hurriedly went home and called the family to come over.
The young woman couldn't wake up when she saw the child, so even if she didn't dare to delay, she came directly to the partridge with the child, after all, whether it was medical skills or Taoism, the partridge was the best in Dongtou Village.
Dongyue River!
Jiale thinks about this name, Dongyue River is a big river that flows through Dongtou Village, not only in Dongtou Village can be seen, but also in the surrounding two or three counties, very famous, among which there are a lot of fish and shrimp, raising a lot of villagers, the river water is clear, there are many people who go to swim and play, this child is in the Dongyue River after playing.
Children in the countryside are wild, six years old is not small, basically from the age of three has been outside to wander, early out and late home, at noon in whom's house to play in the house to eat is also a common thing for these children, the family is generally not worried, are in the village, what can happen.
The little boy's name is Xiaoshi, and it's not the first time to play in Dongyue River, according to the playmates, it's all the same as usual, nothing special.
However, Jia Le knows that there is really something wrong with this Dongyue River.
Dongyue River every night, when the moon rises, at a glance, it is like putting it on the surface of the river, the name of Dongyue River also comes from this, Jia Le has been here with Partridge for three months, and I often hear people who come to Partridge here to treat diseases, but they have been busy cultivating and have not been to see it.
However, his spirit crow goes out to hunt every night, and this Dongyue River is the main place, because there are ghosts in this river.
