"Boatman, how much does it cost to cross the river?"

A woman holding a small child asked softly.

"Thirty dollars!"

The boatman spoke unhurriedly, with a hint of hoarseness in his tone.

"It's too expensive, can it be cheaper?"

The woman asked.

"Girl, I have been ferrying on this river for nearly fifteen years, and it has always been this price, you can ask other boatmen, if it is cheaper than me, then, I will send you across the river for free."

The other shook his head and spoke softly.

Qi Zixiao suddenly understood that this price should be set by all the shippers together, in order to prevent someone from soliciting customers at a low price and destroying the market.

"Boatman, send me across the river!"

At this time, a middle-aged man stepped forward and walked to a corner of the boat and sat down.

It was a small boat, and it looked like it could carry up to five or six people.

Now that the first position has been occupied, everyone else can't help but step forward and get into the ship.

Soon, the boat was filled with people and sank straight down.

The boatman skillfully rowed his oars and hurried slowly towards the center of the river.

At this time, there were still many people waiting on the shore, Qi Zixiao looked at it for a while, and soon, a small boat rowed again, which was a little bigger than the previous one, and there were two boatmen.

"Boatman, how much does it cost to make a ferry?"

One person asked.

"Forty wen."

The figure in the bow responded.

"Why is it more expensive than the previous boat?"

Some people are dissatisfied.

"His boat is small, one person is enough, my boat is big, two people can handle it."

The boatman said.

"So my river crossing fee is also higher than his."

Hearing this, a group of people suddenly didn't know what to say.

Qi Zixiao stepped forward, threw out two taels of silver, and said lightly, "I have covered your boat." ”

The other party took the silver, then bit it with his teeth, and then said with a smile, "Okay, guests are still invited to board the boat." ”

Qi Zixiao led the horse and then entered the boat.

As they got aboard, the boat sank so violently that it almost flipped over, and the hearts of both boatmen were about to jump out.

"How much do you weigh?"

A boatman couldn't help but speak, and began to paddle the oars, and the water waves spread out, making a "bang" sound, and the boat swayed and turned around, drifting towards the distance.

The boat was driving in the river, Qi Zixiao watched the water waves under the boat spread, his eyes were extremely calm, and occasionally, a burst of singing came from the boat on the river, which was extremely pleasant.

"Where did this boy come from?"

The boatman in front asked curiously.

"Sanyang County."

Qi Zixiao opened his mouth lightly.

"Is this the first time you've traveled far away?"

The other party continued to ask.

Seeing Qi Zixiao nodded, the other party said eagerly, "That boy should feel the magnificence of this Xiangjiang River, there are many legends and stories on this river......

"Legends, what's there?"

Qi Zixiao asked curiously.

At this time, the boatman in the back said with a smile, "There are many stories, but the most famous one should be the dragon king's marriage." ”

"The Dragon King marries?"

Qi Zixiao raised his eyebrows, a little curious.

As the blue-clothed catcher of the imperial court, he knows very well the weight of the word dragon king, in the era when the demon clan was rampant in the land of Shenzhou, the dragon king was the top powerhouse of the demon clan, let alone now.

"Will there be a dragon king in this small Xiangjiang River?"

Qi Zixiao opened his mouth and said.

It's not that he looks down on this big river, but that shallow water can't raise a real dragon, a dragon king, and it's generally only in the boundless ocean.

It's their paradise.

"Childe must not say that, if the Dragon King knows, he will definitely blame us."

The ship's face in front of him changed, and he spoke in a panic.

"The dragon king is the protector of this great river, and the reason why we can live on this river is because of the dragon king's blessing."

Qi Zixiao nodded and didn't argue with them.

Every place has its own customs, and he can't force others to believe it just because he doesn't believe it.

"What is the so-called dragon king's marriage?"

Qi Zixiao asked.

"It is said that every three years, the Dragon King of Xiangjiang River will appear and marry a beauty, three years ago, it was the daughter of the Wang family of Wuling County who was taken away by the Dragon King......"

"At that time, there were many treasures in the Wang family's family, which were priceless, and many people said that it was the dowry of the Dragon King, but the Wang family was crying heartbreakingly, after all, it was their only daughter......

Hearing the boatman's story, some pictures had already appeared in Qi Zixiao's mind.

His eyes flashed, and he asked again, "Didn't the government ask?" ”

"I asked, it was said that the masters of the six grades were dispatched at that time, but there was still no discovery, and in the end, the matter could only be closed."

The boatman in front of him opened his mouth with some emotion.

"Moreover, the wizard of Wuling County also said that this is the Dragon King's marriage, if it is blocked, the Dragon King will be angry, and at that time, the Xiangjiang River flood will be uncontrollable, and the impact will be beyond imagination, not only affecting Wuling County."

Hearing this, Qi Zixiao frowned, if this kind of thing happens, it stands to reason that the night watchman will also be dispatched, but this matter has been circulating, indicating that the local night watchman has no choice but to let it go.

The two were talking, and suddenly, Qi Zixiao seemed to notice something, and looked into the distance, where a shadow appeared in the sky, and the shadow spread rapidly, rushing towards here with lightning speed.

On the river, everyone felt a huge sense of depression coming, and their hearts seemed to be as heavy as a mountain.

"Dragon, the dragon king is married!"

On a ship, an old man spoke with a shocked expression.

The sound came out, and was heard by many people, and everyone's faces changed wildly, and some boatmen wanted to turn around and return to the shore, but the speed of the shadow on the horizon was very fast, and it was only a few breaths, and the entire river was covered in it.

Everyone felt physically unable to move, and the river stopped flowing.

It's like they've become a painting.

In this painting, no matter how strong the master is, he is still.

On the boat, a flash of horror flashed in Qi Zixiao's eyes, he was also unable to act, and felt a terrifying force pressing on his body, like dozens of mountains pressing on his body, making him unable to move a finger.

He tried to use his spiritual power to expand the spiritual domain, but at this moment, the spiritual power was completely silent, and the spiritual map did not react at all.

"What is that, and why is it so scary?"

Qi Zixiao's heart was extremely shocked, even when facing a Heavenly Domain or even a demigod-level spirit master, he didn't feel like this.

At this moment, a wisp of his consciousness couldn't help but enter the gray mist, and he saw the huge palace in the depths of his consciousness.

Inside the palace, Sanssouci stood on the huge throne, looking outside, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Carefree couldn't help but turn his head to look to the other side, where the perfect figure sat on the starry sky, looking into the distance with deep eyes.

In His eyes, it seemed that the vastness of the starry sky was more interesting than what was happening outside.

"That thing outside, how do I feel like I'm getting close to that level......"

Worry-free muttering to himself.

At this time, she sensed Qi Zixiao's arrival, and the corners of her mouth lifted an arc, "It's useless to come to me, I can't do without here, and I can't compete with the other party." ”

As soon as Qi Zixiao entered the Red Palace, he heard a worry-free voice.

"What the hell is that? Spirit or something else? ”

Qi Zixiao couldn't help but ask.

"That's not what you should know now, it has nothing to do with you, so worry less."

Carefree and faint opening.

After speaking, Qi Zixiao felt that he was instantly pushed out by a force.

When he was conscious, he saw the shadows crossing, and the terrifying restraint and suppression slowly disappeared.

"The Dragon King married, and I don't know whose family is so unlucky this time......"

Everyone resumed their actions, and the river surface, which was originally like stagnant water, instantly became lively, and on the boat where Qi Zixiao was, the two boatmen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

They looked at Qi Zixiao and were about to comfort each other, but they saw Qi Zixiao standing up, looking into the distance with deep eyes, and a touch of white appeared in the depths of his pupils.

The moment his body recovered, he wanted to use his spiritual power to probe the heel of the shadow.

The spirit pupils opened, but in just a moment, he felt a dazzling light appear in front of him, and his eyes closed instantly as if they had been pricked by needles.

Two lines of bloody tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.

However, at the last moment, Qi Zixiao vaguely saw a huge tail, dozens of zhang in size, covered with scales the size of a head.

"Gods!"

Qi Zixiao was horrified in his heart, and a thought popped up in his mind.

He clearly remembered a rule, the gods should not look directly!

If he hadn't chosen to close his eyes and continue to watch, he would have faced death!

According to his calculations, if you want to look directly at the gods, you must at least reach the level of a demigod and have certain characteristics of a god.

"There is really a dragon king on the Xiangjiang River, how is this possible!"

Qi Zixiao felt that the pain in his eyes was a little weaker, and slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were blood-red, and he couldn't see clearly, but he also knew that his eyesight would recover soon.

However, at this time, there were endless waves in his mind, and he couldn't believe that there would be a rumored dragon king on this river, and it was suspected that it was a god!

In the distance, the shadows vanished.

Qi Zixiao turned his head and looked at the Jiaoma behind him, and found that it had collapsed on the boat, his huge eyes full of fear.

"Jiaoma has the blood of a dragon, and there will be a natural fear in the face of the dragon king."

Qi Zixiao muttered to himself in his heart.

"Childe, are you alright?"

Ahead, the boatman who was paddling asked nervously.

You must know that Qi Zixiao is on their boat, and if something goes wrong, their reputation will be ruined.

"It doesn't matter."

Hearing this, Qi Zixiao came back to his senses, and his eyes returned to normal, and he could clearly see his surroundings.

Seeing this, the boatman breathed a sigh of relief, began to row the oars, and quickly drifted towards the shore.
