Chapter 90 The fog cages the river, and the copper bull opens his eyes
The woman swimming in the water was very fast, and in the blink of an eye she swam close to the boat.
The old fisherman who held the boat, although he had been going back and forth on this river for many years, was also the first time he encountered such a scene, and he was somewhat frightened.
Fortunately, he knew that the scholar in green shirt standing on the bow of the boat was a cultivator, and his heart slowly settled down.
The woman in the water was covered with blue, with a large head and a small body, her chest was covered with pale blue soft armor, and her hands were thin and long.
This is clearly not a human girl, but a water demon.
To be exact, it should be a shrimp banshee.
After the shrimp banshee approached, she kept looking at the green-shirted scholar and the girl in the green skirt on the bow of the boat.
Before Li Xiangyi could open his mouth, he asked, "Are you a scholar?" The Reader of the Race? ”
Li Xiangyi smiled and nodded: "Yes, in the lower Confucian disciple Li Xiangyi, thank you girl for helping!" ”
The shrimp banshee used her slender right hand to play with the water splash in front of her, and said expectantly: "Since you are a scholar, then you should know a lot, right?" Do you know the geography of the mountains and rivers in our North Continent? ”
"I know a little bit, I wonder what the girl wants to ask?"
"I am the shrimp demon of Black Moon Lake in the northern Lingshui country, I heard that there is a big lake called Yinjing Lake in the south, which is very suitable for shrimp growth, I want to go there to see."
The green shrimp banshee said with a hint of laziness: "Before leaving, I asked several Taoist priests from the Flying Dragon Temple on the edge of Black Moon Lake, and they told me that as long as you go all the way south, you can reach Yinjing Lake in three months. But it's been eight months since I came out of Black Moon Lake, but I still haven't seen Yin Jing Lake. ”
"Ask the passing ships, no one knows where the lake is, do you know what's going on? Isn't it those young bull-nosed Taoists from the Flying Dragon Temple, who are coaxing me? ”
Li Xiangyi's expression was slightly different, and he confirmed: "You are from the Black Moon Lake of the Lingshui Country in the north, and you are going to the Yinjing Lake in the south?" ”
"yes, what's wrong? Isn't there such a thing as a quiet lake? Those young bullnoses, are they really coaxing me? ”
Li Xiangyi smiled and said, "No, there is a place called Yinjing Lake, but you are going the wrong way." ”
"Huh? Gone wrong? ”
"The Lingshui Kingdom is in the west of the northern border, and the Yinjing Lake is in the west of the southern border, if you go straight to the south, you will almost be able to reach the Yinjing Lake in those three months. And now you are to the south of the East. ”
The shrimp banshee was a little confused, and was stunned for several moments before she reacted: "The south of the eastern realm? Are you saying that I went from the northwest to the southeast of the continent? Not Southwest? ”
Li Xiangyi nodded.
Whoop -
The Prawn Banshee suddenly plunged headlong into the water.
"Senior brother, who is this shrimp demon sister?" Xiao Qianjun was very puzzled when she saw her strange behavior.
"Maybe I was stupid and crying, and I was ashamed to see people, so I found a crack in the ground - no, find a crack in the water and hide it?" Li Xiangyi was not sure, and guessed back.
Xiao Qianjun blinked, greatly surprised.
It was a long time before the shrimp banshee resurfaced from the bottom of the water, and there was still some look of amazement on her face, which was very different from that of a human.
"Scholar, is this really the East? Not the South? ”
The Banshee still seems to have a glimmer of illusion, or rather a reluctance to believe that she is really so stupid that she could be so wrong.
Li Xiangyi bowed his head ruthlessly: "If you don't believe it, you can ask the old man who is holding the boat." ”
The Prawn Banshee looked at the old fisherman at the stern of the boat.
Seeing the confused and harmless appearance of the green shrimp banshee, the old fisherman was no longer afraid, and replied: "This is Qingjiang, it is indeed the eastern border, and three hundred miles downstream, it is the famous big city of Donghuan in the east." ”
After the Hanjiang River crosses the Qinglong Gorge and enters the eastern border, it is called the Qingjiang River.
The East Ring City mentioned by the old fisherman is one of the most famous big cities in the east, not only in the North Zhige Continent, but also in the nearby Middle Earth Divine Continent, East Penglai Continent, and Northeast Great Wilderness Continent, which also has a certain popularity.
Although the shrimp banshee lives in the north, she has also heard of this big city on the edge of the Qingjiang River.
Hearing the old fisherman's words, she was dumbfounded and almost fell into the water again.
Southwest, southeast, this lost is too outrageous.
What a loss of shrimp!
Before leaving, she also swore to the other sisters in Black Moon Lake that with her world's first-class level of road recognition and hurrying, she would be able to reach Yinjing Lake in less than two months.
When the time comes, she draws a drawing, and then adds a detailed itinerary, and the flying letter is sent back to Lingshui Country, and the sisters in the clan can follow the instructions of the drawings and move to Yinjing Lake together.
The results are now ......
"Ah, I haven't sent a message back for so long, so the sisters won't think that I was captured by that big demon or cooked and eaten by some human monk, right?"
The shrimp banshee reacted suddenly, a little flustered, her limbs fluttered, and countless splashes were made.
Xiao Qianjun looked at it with big eyes and was stunned.
This shrimp demon sister doesn't seem to be as smart as her.
She left her elder brother and returned to her back, but she never got lost.
Li Xiangyun asked curiously: "With your level of road recognition, how could your clan send you to take the lead and go to Yinjing Lake?" ”
The shrimp banshee finally settled down, accepted the current situation, and replied: "Because among all the sisters, I am the highest and the most capable of fighting." ”
"You are the highest?"
"Hmmm! Don't look down on shrimp, I'm a six-level demon general, equivalent to the powerhouse of the six realms of your human race! The shrimp banshee raised her chin and was very proud, "You human-like cultivators of the Six Realms can't beat me." After coming out of the clan, I met a big martial artist in the Six Realms, who wanted to arrest me back as the lady of the village, but I beat me down and threw me into the river to soak in water for three days. ”
"Admire! So how can you still get lost? ”
The shrimp banshee's face collapsed, and she wanted to get into the water again.
Xiao Qianjun wanted to laugh when she looked at her embarrassed appearance.
Even the old fisherman felt that this bewildered female shrimp demon was not as ferocious and terrifying as the legendary water demon and banshee.
Li Xiangyun also laughed.
Seeing the smile on his face, the Prawn Banshee finally understood that he was deliberately making fun of herself.
Immediately slapped a few splashes, and said angrily: "It is said that you human beings are not good things, especially the scholars in human beings, who have a bad stomach, and when I look at it today, it is true, I have helped you!" ”
Seeing that she was about to be anxious, Li Xiangyi stopped joking, put away his smile and said, "Okay, you helped us calm the storm just now, and I will help you too." In fact, if you want to be a quiet lake, it's also very simple. ”
Well?
The shrimp banshee blinked, a little confused.
This is the eastern border, 108,000 miles away from the Yinjing Lake located in the west of the southern border, how can it be simple?
Li Xiangyi didn't sell Guanzi, and said directly: "Fifty miles downstream, there is a small city called Feijia, where there is a Xianjia ferry, you can directly take the Xianjia treasure boat and go to the south." ”
"When you get to the southern border, whether you go over by yourself, or change to the immortal treasure boat, and then go to Yinjing Lake, it's not too far."
The green shrimp banshee was a little stunned, as if it was the first time she had heard of the fairy treasure ship, and she didn't quite understand what the fairy treasure ship was.
Li Xiangyun knew that the Black Moon Lake in the northern Lingshui Country was a big demon pool, where many fish, shrimp, snails, shellfish and other water demon clans lived.
But I didn't expect that this green shrimp banshee, which is equivalent to the six realms of human beings, would have such little understanding of the fairy world.
It's no wonder she's lost all the way to the East.
What did those big demons in Black Moon Lake think, to let such a confused shrimp demon run out and wander around?
But he gave her a brief explanation.
"To take the immortal treasure ship, do you need four kinds of avenue copper coins for spring ploughing, summer planting, autumn harvest, and winter storage? What is the copper coin of the avenue......"
Before she finished speaking, the green shrimp banshee suddenly plunged into the water and disappeared.
Half a quarter of an hour later, the banshee reappeared in front of the bow of the boat, raised two money bags, and opened them to Li Xiangyi: "Are these the Great Dao copper coins you said?" ”
Li Xiangyi glanced at it and nodded: "Yes, they are all Dao copper coins, a bag of spring ploughing money, and a bag of autumn harvest money." ”
"That bag of money, is it enough for me to take the Immortal Treasure Ship to the southern border?"
"You don't need a bag, half a bag is enough."
"I see, thanks, this bag is for you!"
When the green shrimp banshee learned that the copper coins she picked up from the bottom of the river were half a bag enough for her to go to the southern border, she was very happy and immediately threw one of the bags to Li Xiangyun as a thank you gift.
Li Xiangyun wanted to refuse and return the Dao copper coin to her, but she refused.
According to the rules of their Black Moon Lake, the demon must give a thank you gift for help, and the water demon who is rewarded must also accept the gift, otherwise it is rude.
Since she has such rules there, Li Xiangyun has no choice but to accept it.
On the way to the downstream Fei Cheng together, Li Xiangyun will tell the green shrimp banshee in detail about the matters related to the immortal treasure ship.
Otherwise, with her confused appearance, don't be sold, and count the money for her.
As far as the cultivation of the Six Realms that she thought was very powerful, it was not enough to see it at the Xianjia Ferry and the treasure boat.
When they arrived at Fei Yan City, after seeing the fairy treasure boat that the shrimp banshee was riding departed, Li Xiangyi and Xiao Qianjun changed to a big boat and continued down the river to East Ring City.
After entering the eastern border, the Hanjiang River, which was renamed Qingjiang, was outside the city of Donghuan and turned to the northeast.
It happens to be in the same direction as Donghua Mountain, where Li Xiangyi and Xiao Qianjun are going, and you can continue to take a boat and take a section of waterway.
The new transfer of this large passenger ship, named Lu Chuan, is very miscellaneous, at a glance, there are immortal monks, there are heroes who roam the rivers and lakes, there are officials, wealthy businessmen, and secular people.
The boat is three stories high, and the top floor is full of wealthy immortal monks, heroes, officials, wealthy merchants, and some scholars who travel to study.
On the lower two floors, most of them are travelers from ordinary families.
A boat with hundreds of people is very lively.
Li Xiangyun and Xiaoqianjun chose the second floor and asked for a single room.
There are 250 miles of waterway from Fei Kai City to Tung Wan City, and it takes two days to travel by boat.
Anyway, there is no hurry, Li Xiangyun is going to turn over the few ancient books sent by Mr. Hu Baiyue, the second gentleman of the Qingsui Mountain Villa.
One of the ancient books introduces the anecdotes of many landscape gods in the east, which may be somewhat helpful for the trip to Donghua Mountain.
After all, as the first deity of Beizhigezhou, the god of Donghua Mountain will hold a once-in-a-century wandering god meeting, and there will definitely be many landscape gods to participate.
In the single room to the left of Li Xiangyun and Xiao Qianjun, a young ascetic lived.
The private room on the right is a beautiful woman who is incomprehensibly beautiful.
The moon is maze crossing, and the fog cage is clear of the river.
That night, while the ship was sailing silently on the river, a beautiful woman in the single room on the right lifted her head off and took it to the window.
In the private room on the left, a young ascetic dressed in a gray monk's robe, folded his hands and confessed his sins.
Two hundred miles downstream, at the bottom of the Qingjiang River, a bronze bull opened its eyes and looked at the big boat that came upstream in the thick fog.
