The west of the Mingjiang River starts from Kunlongzu Mountain, which is the largest river in Zhongzhou. The river is mighty, and all the currents converge, like a thousand-clawed dragon, stretching for 99,000 miles before flowing into the East China Sea. Jinxiang River and Canglan River are two major tributaries of the Mingjiang River, one north and one south, two opposite, and converge at the same time in Lulingdu.

Qinghe's boat went south after leaving Xingyang, and the road was unimpeded. There are few boats along the way, but they are better in the green waters and green mountains, the scenery is infinite, and everyone does not feel bored. Four days later, it entered the Mingjiang River from the Jinxiang River and entered the boundary of Luling County of Chu State. Qinghe was very familiar with the waterways here, and ordered the steward of the boat to sail to Sanlong Gorge again after allocating sufficient supplies and fresh water at Lulingdu.

Sanlong Gorge is the first danger of the Mingjiang River, which is about 120 miles long. Due to the terrain, the river becomes very narrow. The waterway is divided into three by the reef here, the north side of the Falling Dragon Gorge, the intermediate Dragon Gorge, and the south side of the Falling Dragon Gorge. Originally, hundreds of boats competed for the current, and it was difficult for ten boats to travel after entering this place. And the water potential drop is very large, the river is turbulent and tortuous, the reefs are all over, and the water mist is filled. In addition, the cliffs on both sides of the river, the streams splash, the vines fishing, and the rocks are constantly falling. Then there is a song that says: In the summer, the dragon is born, and the dragon must be accurate in the autumn. In winter and spring, you don't enter the Sanlong Gorge, and you see the river god when you enter the fallen dragon. Therefore, ordinary boatmen do not dare to sail in rashly, and only the waves in the river who are familiar with the waterway can go out of the sea.

In the afternoon, the boat came to the mouth of the gorge, Qinghe asked Feng Ling to take care of it, let the four of Wang Nu enter the cabin and grasp the edge of the boat, take care of themselves, look around the two banks, calculate the direction, adjust the rudder and sail towards Hualong Gorge.

Entering the gorge, the speed of travel immediately increased, and the building ship rushed straight away like an arrow from the string. Feng Lington saw a group of waterfalls on both sides of the river in front of him, and the rainbow glass on the river surface, and suddenly felt refreshed. Wang Nu and the others watched the wonders through the window in the main cabin, breathed fresh air, and felt relaxed and happy.

Everyone was immersed in the room, and suddenly heard Qinghe shouting: "Hurry up." "I saw that the painting style in front of me changed suddenly, the river suddenly bent like a swimming snake, and the reef was as craggy as bamboo shoots. The hull of the ship suddenly jolted back and forth, swaying from side to side.

Wang Nu, Ning Shuang and Li Yanchun are all from the north, and they have never encountered such a situation, that is, they are at a loss and unstable, but fortunately, the hatch door is closed, and everyone grabs the edge of the ship in time, otherwise they are afraid that they will be thrown out of the cabin. After a few moments, the water flow became more rapid, the curvature increased again, and Feng Ling and Qinghe were all wet, I don't know whether it was sweat or water. And everyone in the cabin, except for Xiao Ling'er, all vomited filth and turned pale.

Bay after bay, beach after beach, more than 100 miles are fleeting, and finally the water is wide with the plains, and the ship enters the great river. Untie the rope and lower the anchor, and after the boat is stable, Qinghe ordered the steward to go to clean up the dirt in the cabin and ask the four people to go out of the cabin to rest.

Seeing the three kings and daughters, their expressions were tired and undecided, and Feng Ling was also shocked, and secretly thought: The way of nature is really a great workmanship, thanks to a good hand like Qinghe, if he drives the boat himself, he will definitely destroy the boat.

After everyone rested, the building boat resumed anchoring and sailing. The road is calm, and there are no hardships.

On the ninth day of September, before the time, Wu Guoning City Haikou. Qinghe carefully inspected the supplies, and after making sure that everything was left, he sailed into the sea. As soon as he left the port, he saw a handsome man in white chasing a man in blue who was walking into the sea. The man in blue jumped on a cargo ship not far from Feng Ling to dodge, and the man in white chased after him and jumped on the deck. On deck, the two of them exchanged swords and fought endlessly. After Feng Ling saw the man in white on the deck, he shouted with a smile: "Brother Guan Ning, you are still so brave and good at fighting. ”

The man in white who had just reached the crown that year was tall and handsome, but he had a dissolute look on his face at all times. Hearing Feng Ling's shout, he vigorously forced back the man in blue with his sword and jumped on a building boat not far from Feng Ling, looking for prestige and seeing Feng Ling, he laughed and said: "Who is my Dao, it turned out to be Feng Ling'er, what's the matter, come to the sea to hide from the merry debt?" ”

Feng Ling looked at each other angrily, and said angrily: "Silence me, you haven't changed at all, and you still like to laugh so much." ”

After the white-clothed Guan Ning saw Feng Ling, as if he had met a long-lost brother, he no longer paid attention to the man in blue, jumped up and down a few times, jumped onto Feng Ling's boat, put his sword into the sheath and put it aside, stretched out his hands and stepped forward to hug Feng Ling, and said with laughter: "I haven't seen you for more than a year, I miss my brother." ”

Feng Ling pushed it away, showing resentment that had never appeared before, and said, "You prodigal, why are you fighting with people again." ”

"It's our duty to fight grievances, that kid relied on his identity, went into the Red Mansion to eat, drink and have fun but didn't pay the bill, and was bumped into by me and chased here. I'm lucky to meet you, so I don't bother to pay attention to him. After that, he watched the man in blue take the opportunity to escape, and said, "Do you have any good wine here, relieve my fatigue." ”

"The drunkard waits." After saying that, he turned around and was about to go to the lower cabin to get wine. saw the fox girl Xiao Ling'er rushing out of the cabin door, and said to Feng Ling with a smile: "It turns out that your name is also Ling'er, it's really not a good thing." ”

Feng Ling was stunned, and hurriedly looked into the cabin, and saw that Wang Nu Ji Huang and Ning Shuang both covered their mouths and smiled. Secretly thinking that he was careless in making friends, Guan Ning's voice was so loud that everyone in the main cabin must have heard it. He immediately turned around and walked towards the storage room.

After a while, he carried a jar of fine wine, threw it directly at Guan Ning, and said, "Plug your big mouth for me." ”

Guan Ning took it, took a few sips and said, "The wine is not bad." But he still laughed.

After he drank most of the altar, he stopped laughing and asked Feng Ling where he was going to go to sea. Feng Ling immediately informs the destination.

Knowing where to go, Guan Ning said: "It just so happens that I also want to go home, so you give me a ride." ”

"It's okay to ride together, but you can't talk nonsense."

"As long as there is wine to seal, I will not say much."

Feng Ling knew that he was not tight-lipped, but he was helpless, so he let him go.

As he spoke, the four sails of the building ship were in unison, the speed did not decrease, and after hundreds of miles to the east from the shore, the Qinghe turned the rudder and headed north along the route.

It was night, the moon was setting and the stars were sinking, and Feng Ling was sitting alone on the deck, looking into the depths of the East China Sea, thinking constantly. The scene from Taoyuan to the cave appeared at dusk, and the decisive eyes still lingered in front of him. After taking a few sips, Feng Ling suddenly felt that his chest was dull, but he didn't know whether it was an old injury or a worry about missing.

In the midst of his reverie, a whirlwind suddenly blew out on the sea without warning, and the waves swirled around and swept towards the ship. Feng Ling immediately got up and went to the side cabin where Qinghe was resting, slammed open the hatch, and woke up Qinghe, Guan Ning, and Li Yanchun. Qinghe woke up when he heard the sound, ran out of the cabin, looked at the wind and waves, and hurriedly asked Feng Ling to help him cut the rope and lower the sails.

The wind and waves were very fast, and in a few moments they were more than ten miles away. Feng Ling immediately crashed into the main cabin again, evoking the three girls and telling them to grasp the hull of the ship and not relax. Then he came to the helm of the ship, and saw Qinghe at the helm with a solemn expression, and hurriedly asked: "This wind and wave are strange, senior brother knows the reason." ”

"I haven't seen it either, but I've heard my father say that deep-sea monsters go hunting, and they are easy to become strange waves, and they are dangerous and abnormal in it."

Feng Ling summoned the fox girl and asked her to check if there was any demonic energy. Xiao Ling'er immediately cast a spell, and made a seal with her bare hands, and the seal was printed in all directions under the sea. Sure enough, dozens of miles east of the ship, there was a huge kraken churning the seawater, driving the air on the surface of the sea, forming a wind and wave to suck towards a smaller kraken that was fleeing.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, but their skills were limited, and they were helpless with their mantis arms as a car. It is only hoped that the Kraken will capture the prey as soon as possible and disperse the wind and waves. Unexpectedly, the smaller kraken was very tenacious and struggled to keep fighting.

Time does not wait, Feng Ling asked the fox girl to leave the ship immediately, that is, he used the Black Dragon Devouring Sun Sword Technique, and took the fourteen people on the deck, including Wang Nu, Guan Ning and Qinghe, and flew into the sky.

The wind and waves finally came, and I saw the huge waves rushing towards the building boat, and in an instant the ship was shattered and swept to the bottom of the sea.

The wind in the air reluctantly exerted his strength, controlling the sword qi to fly towards the west. But at this time, the whirlwind was strong, constantly pulling, so that the black dragon could not fly out of the wind circle for a while.

Knowing that if he continued like this, he would definitely die of exhaustion, Feng Ling gritted his teeth, tried his best to infuse the sword qi, and waved the black dragon to run forward, and only after half a moment did he have to get out of the whirlwind range. Seeing that the wind and waves below were calm, and he relaxed his spirit a little, his eyes suddenly turned dark, and the wind fell off the dragon's body and into the sea.

When he woke up, he found himself on a wooden bed in a cabin, and Guan Ning was sleeping on the couch. Feng Ling got up and sat up, realizing that there were no internal injuries in his body, but his true yuan was exhausted. Hurriedly woke up Guan Ning and said, "Ning Shao, where are we, and what is the condition of the rest of the people?" ”

"Don't worry, a nobleman of the Qi Kingdom passed by in time to save us and you, and they all got on this ship, and everyone was unscathed." At the moment, he told the story of Feng Ling after he fell into a coma. It turned out that the owner of this ship was Lu Chong, the prince of Qi State, and he also rushed back to Qi State from Ningcheng, because he enjoyed the scenery along the way, so he was slightly behind the building boat of Qinghe. Feng Ling took everyone out of the whirlwind and fell into a coma, Qinghe and the others, together with Guan Ning, rescued Wang Nu, Ning Shuang and Li Yanchun, and traveled west. Why is the land too far away, and I haven't seen the shore for half an hour, and when everyone is desperate, Lu Chong's bow passed by and saved everyone.

Feng Ling was relieved after hearing this.

Guan Ning said again: "This time, you are so angry that I have to admire you." ”

Feng Ling smiled bitterly and was silent, secretly using his own exercises to regulate pranayama and restore the true yuan.

Seeing that he was fine, Guan Ning no longer delayed his cultivation, so he left the cabin.

It was noon, Feng Ling got out of bed and was about to go out, when he saw that the frost had recovered women's clothes, he pushed the door in with food, and said; "Young Master Xie rescued me, the slave is very grateful, please use the meal first."

"You're welcome." Feng Ling really needs to replenish his physical strength, so he picks it up and eats it.

After Feng Ling ran out, Ning Shuang said: "Your Highness ordered, if the young master is fine, please go to the cabin to talk after dinner." ”

"I'll go right now." After speaking, he came out with the condensation and entered the cabin of the princess.

The princess Ji Huang, who was also dressed in women's clothes, sat in front of the coffee table, seeing that Feng Ling's face was unharmed, and her face was happy. After letting him sit down, the princess personally poured tea and served it, saying: "The young master has protected me several times, I have nothing to repay, please drink this tea." ”

Feng Ling drank it, and the princess said again: "The sky is endless, and it is a great luck to be rescued by Qi Gongzi." Gongzi is my cousin, and I have several faces, now the young master is told what he did, my cousin is very happy, in the evening set up a banquet to invite the young master and Guan Shaoxia to drink together, hope that the young master will not refuse. ”

"If you have something to ask, dare to disobey your orders."

"That being the case, please take a break from the young master, and I will send Ning Shuang to pass it on during the banquet."

"Retire first." Feng Ling thanked him and went out.

Out of the cabin, Feng Ling asked the steward in the boat where Ming Qinghe lived, and went to visit. Seeing that he was well, after greeting and talking, he returned to his cabin and practiced and waited.
