Volume 2 Chang'an Fire Chapter 69 Vortex

"Whirring ......" on the surface of the Kunlun River, the cold wind is cold.

A fishing boat swayed on the river, the oil lamp on the bow flickered on and off, and three women with fluttering clothes and light veils stood on the bow, one rocking the oars, one holding the sail, and the other piloting. They all frowned, meeting the silence of the night.

Finally, Ding Jiujiu couldn't help it, she threw down the oars and shook a handful of fragrant sweat: "The old lady has lived for so many years, and it is the first time to rock the oars. ”

"Who told us to go down the mountain so late, is there a boatman nearby, it would be good to be able to buy a fishing boat," Qing Yan sighed and asked, "Why don't you come to the sails and I will win the lottery?" ”

Ding Jiujiu simply sat on the bow of the boat: "It's not easy to change anyone, shouldn't we keep rowing back to Liangzhou?" ”

Ouyang Bingyan said at this time: "I have sent a message back to the Peacock Tower, and in five days, the mirage boat from the lower reaches of the Lianghe River will come to pick it up." ”

"Five days? It takes at least ten days to take the land route, and we have to go upriver by water, and I don't think we can reach the ferry in half a month. Ding Jiujiu shook his head again and again, a little frustrated.

"If you don't want to go back, you can get out!" Ouyang Bingyan squinted and said.

Ding Jiujiu lowered his head and muttered: "It's just whining, why are you so angry?" ”

"Alright, come and sail, it's about to cross the canyon, the current is fast, the wind is weird, be careful not to overturn the boat." Qing Yan grabbed the oars, and while controlling the direction, he adjusted the frequency, although the speed was not very fast, it was much more stable than Ding Jiujiu.

As the canyon deepens, the water suddenly becomes rapid, and you can even hear the roar of a waterfall .......

"Ice geese, there's a situation!" Qing Yan sensed that something was wrong.

"You stay on the ship, don't move forward for a while, I'll take a look!" Ouyang Bingyan picked up the horse lantern, tapped the bow of the boat with his toes, and tread water into the depths of the canyon.

The lights are weak in the quiet canyon, but even so, you can still see the big whirlpool in the middle of the canyon!

The vortex is full of feet wide, and the drop is not much deeper, only to see it swallowing down with all its might, causing the overall flow rate of the river surface to be faster than double!

"Jiu'er, Qingyan, you go back quickly, there is a big whirlpool here!" Ouyang Bingyan's shouts continued to echo in the empty canyon.

Qing Yan hurriedly shook the prize against the current, and Ding Jiujiu hurriedly put away the sails, but the current speed in the river was too great, no matter how often the oars were rocked, the boat still could not retreat.

Seeing that the boat had reached the edge of the whirlpool, Ouyang Bingyan immediately shook out a burst of true qi, blocking the river for a short time, and then she jumped onto the boat and used the true qi as a power again, trying to escape from the devouring of the whirlpool-

The powerful true qi of "Huhu Huhu......" overflowed and spread in the narrow valley, accompanied by a hurricane that turned the river upside down, and the vortex not only did not get smaller, but nearly doubled!

The boat is constantly jolting on the river, and if it goes on like this, it will be overturned by the wind and waves sooner or later, and on the left and right sides are steep mountain walls, where can the black lights and blind fire find a place to stay?

"Ice Goose, what should we do now?" Qing Yan said nervously.

Ouyang Bingyan gritted his teeth: "It's okay, hold on for a while, and then rush out in one go when the wind and waves stop!" ”

"And what if the wind and waves don't stop?" Ding Jiujiu panicked.

"What are you afraid of? Will I be able to drown you by force? Ouyang Bingyan said, and then increased the true qi in his palm, but who expected that there was a sudden "stab" under his feet, and the boat actually cracked a crack!

Although they have force, this fishing boat has long been dilapidated, and it is on the verge of dismemberment under the combined impact of true qi and wind and waves-

"Hey! Grab the rope and slip it around the stern! ”

At this moment, there was a shout from the back of the canyon, and a few floating lanterns in the darkness reflected a majestic and tall figure - Yan Yunting stood at the bow of the boat, shaking a thick hemp rope, he was so resolute and handsome under the lamplight.

"Pick it up!"

The hemp rope came out of his hand, flew more than ten zhang and landed on the stern, Qing Yan saw this and hurriedly flew to catch the hemp rope, and trapped it on the rivet at the stern of the boat in three or two times: "Okay! ”

"Sail!" Yan Yunting shouted.

"Buzz!" The inkship roared like a beast, and in a moment it pulled the boat out of danger.

The ink boat dragged the boat all the way until it exited the canyon before slowing down.

"Whew...... It was so dangerous just now, you almost got eaten by the water monster. Yan Yunting stood at the bow of the boat and laughed at the three women.

"It's you again......" Qing Yan hid her gratitude and asked in a low voice, "Why are you here?" ”

Yan Yunting smiled: "I can't rest assured of you." ”

Qing Yan glared: "But I'm not rare to you at all!" ”

"Isn't that unusual?" Yan Yunting raised his eyebrows.

Qing Yan said loudly: "Then there is still a fake? ”

"Tsk...... It's a pity, it's a pity," Yan Yunting sighed and shook his head: "I originally wanted to go to Liangzhou to catch a few poisonous people and come back to Elder Tang for experiments, I wanted to say that I would bring you on as well, who knew that you were not rare, just do it, just don't do this favor." ”

He turned and commanded, "Sailors, take back the ropes and let them go on their own." ”

"Yesβ€”"

"Wait!" Ouyang Bingyan stopped Yan Yunting, bowed his head and saluted slightly: "Yan Daxia, we are rare, and we also want your favor."

Yan Yunting smiled secretly in his heart, pursed his lips and said, "It's okay to let you take a boat, but as long as you get on this boat, everything has to be arranged by me." Are you acceptable?"

"Landlord, this guy and that monk are by no means good people, they used to peek at me and Qingyan taking a bath...... This is a thief ship, and you can't promise him. Ding Jiujiu whispered in Ouyang Bingyan's ear.

Ouyang Bingyan said in a low voice: "If you want to go back to Liangzhou now, taking their boat is the only way, you should be more careful on weekdays."

Then, she nodded at Yan Yunting: "We can accept it."

The corners of Yan Yunting's mouth curled slightly, "Get on the boat." ”

The three women of the Peacock House jumped on the boat together.

The ink ship continued to set sail.

"There's a huge whirlpool in the canyon ahead, it's very dangerous to enter now, why don't you dock and wait?" Qing Yan persuaded loudly.

Yan Yunting was ethereal and independent of the bow of the ship, his hair was fluttering, and his sleeves were flirtatious, he really looked like a heroic and fearless captain, and he said lightly: "Our time is very tight, and we can't stop for a moment."

In the face of such a serious Yan Yunting, Qing Yan no longer made a sound, but silently accompanied him, staring at the canyon he was about to enter.

......The current became so turbulent that even the huge ink ship was bumpy.

"It's still too late for you to return, if you get close to the center of the whirlpool, it will be difficult to escape." Qing Yan tugged at Yan Yunting's sleeve and persuaded in a tight voice.

Yan Yunting shook his head slightly, and said softly: "There is a big water monster under this river, if we don't solve it, we will think about crossing the valley tonight."
