The paddles cut through the water, the bubbling water rippled gently the boat, the boat was not fast, the fusiform bow gently turned the water to both sides, and from time to time a fish gently touched the bow of the boat, and then swam in one direction. The light of the underpass dome followed the boat, the front lights on, the back lights off, and the space in front and behind the boat was always illuminated within a mile radius in front of and behind the boat.

Li Xiang and Mingshu paddled one by one, one in front of the other, one behind the other, rowing on both sides. A minute ago, at the fork in the road, they said goodbye to Ge Changpeng's senior brothers, and they felt a little cold for a while. Mingshu hasn't spoken much along the way, in fact, since bidding farewell to Daddy Mei, Mingshu has been saying very little, when they were in the village, the two had been busy planting soul materials for the villagers, and Li Xiang couldn't care about spying on Mingshu's emotions. At this moment, I feel that Sister Shu, who has always been lively, is too quiet. He shouted "Sister Shu", and Mingshu said "um" softly, and there was silence for a long time. Li Xiang is not a person who is good at initiating topics, so he also followed his sister Shu to be silent.

The boat traveled a few miles forward, and Li Xiang was a little worried about Sister Shu. He wanted to break this dullness, so he asked a very silly question: "Sister Shu, are you still thinking about Grandpa Mei and Bao Gu?" Mingshu's paddle stopped, the blades were gently placed horizontally on the boat's bon, and Li Xiang heard a low sob. Li Xiang was a little panicked, he didn't know how to deal with and comfort, he just said to himself that Grandpa Mei was very good, he and Lord Meng Fan were together, he would not be lonely, Bao Gu was also very good, with a teacher like Master Jin, Bao Gu would definitely become the most outstanding soul master. Mingshu said that my brother sat in the front, and I wanted to cry well. Li Xiang climbed hand and foot to sit on the bulkhead beam in front of him, Mingshu put his head on Li Xiang's shoulder and cried, Li Xiang's body stiffened and did not move. After a while, Mingshu withdrew her arm again, put it on her knee, buried her face in it and cried. Li Xiang was a little at a loss and asked Sister Shu what was wrong. Mingshu responded, Li Xiang didn't really hear it, as if he was saying that the bones in his shoulders were holding her. Li Xiang didn't know what to do for a while, just patted her back gently with his hand.

After a long time, Mingshu stopped crying and said, "I'm much better, I feel uncomfortable if I don't cry, let's go." ”

There was no word all the way, until she saw a camp next to the passage, and Mingshu let the boat come over. There are several huts in the camp, and the bracelet is close to the door lock, and after deducting two energy points, the door lock will open automatically, and the room has all the facilities. Mingshu said that every half a day's journey, there will be such a camp for travelers to rest.

Li Xiang couldn't sleep that night, and Sister Shu's state really worried him. He knocked on Mingshu's door, and Mingshu didn't sleep.

Mingshu opened the door and said Isn't my brother asleep yet? Li Xiang lowered his head and said I'm worried about you. Mingshu let Li Xiang into the room, and the two sat down on the edge of the bed.

Mingshu said, "It's okay, I'm fine." ”

Li Xiang shook his head in disbelief, "I don't know how to comfort you, I just know that Grandpa Mei is still here, maybe it won't be long before we can go to the estuary to visit him again." ”

Mingshu said, "But I can't see him." ”

Li Xiang pondered for a moment and said, "Grandpa Mei is soul-blind, but he can still depict materials in seeds, this is because he is familiar with the fluctuation laws of low-frequency waves. If I can master the mid-frequency waves, maybe I can build a bridge between you by simulating the mid-frequency waves and the ultra-low frequency waves. ”

Mingshu's eyes lit up, and then she shook her head: "The fluctuation law of the mid-frequency wave is too complicated. ”

Li Xiang said: "If you don't try, how do you know that it won't work?"

Mingshu nodded, she thought for a while, and then pointed at Li Xiang's eyebrows, and a large amount of information poured into Li Xiang's sea of consciousness. This is Mingshu's understanding and realization of the medium-frequency consciousness wave, because of its complex waveform, so the amount of information is huge, and Mingshu used five information packets to complete the transmission. After the information was transmitted, Mingshu paused. Mingshu said that she was a little sleepy, and she would just need to sleep. Li Xiang hurriedly helped her to the bed.

Li Xiang didn't leave, he sat cross-legged on the floor and began to understand carefully.

A day later, Mingshu didn't wake up. Li Xiang stretched out his hand to probe Mingshu's snort by the bedside, and was relieved to see that she was breathing evenly. However, the mental drain of information transmission also made him staggering.

At this time, he already had some perception of the mid-frequency waves, and he didn't go to rest, he still sat on the floor, trying to use the simulated mid-frequency waves to depict in his own sea of consciousness, at this time he was like a deaf and mute person who practiced vocalization, mechanically simulating. He wanted to carve a ball in the Sea of Consciousness, but what he carved was like a rough stone. He corrected the frequency of the waves over and over again until the stone took on the shape of a little ball. At this time, two days had passed, Mingshu hadn't woken up yet, Li Xiang couldn't support it anymore, and fell asleep on the floor.

When Mingshu woke up, three days had passed. She saw Li Xiang sleeping soundly on the ground, got up and came to him, carried him to the bed, and just covered him with the quilt, Li Xiang woke up.

The first thing Li Xiang did when he woke up was to show the results of his efforts in the past two days in Mingshu's sea of consciousness. Li wanted to ask Mingshu what he saw? Mingshu said a pebble. Li Xiang's face was slightly red, and he said that I actually wanted to portray a round ball. Mingshu kneaded Li Xiang's hair into a chicken nest, saying that his younger brother is already very good, and his younger brother is a genius.

Mingshu's mood was obviously much better, and when she went on the road again, she talked more. She suddenly thought about Uncle Mei mentioned in the village before, and she asked, "What do you know about Uncle Mei?"

Li Xiang was a little resentful: "Don't call him Uncle Mei, he is a scumbag." ”

Ming Shu was surprised: "Why do you say that? What did Grandpa Mei tell you?"

Li Xiang said: "He left his old and frail father and two-year-old son, but went to make a watchdog for Mr. Six. Grandpa Mei didn't want Bao Gu to know that he had such a father, so I didn't want to say it. ”

Mingshu let out an "ah" and covered her mouth.

Li Xiang continued: "He came back once, had a fight with his father, and left without staying for an hour, because it was late at night and he didn't meet with the people in the village. Grandpa Mei really didn't make a mistake in the name he gave, Mity, it's really not virtuous!"

Mingshu bowed her head and was silent, and said for a long time: "Maybe Aunt Mei stimulated him too much, I don't think he was like this before." ”

Li Xiang was a little puzzled: "Didn't you say that it is normal for husbands and wives to be separated and combined here, why did he react so much?"

Mingshu said: "Not exactly, the separation between husband and wife is generally when there are no children, it is difficult for Jiuqiu to give birth, if they do not give birth to an heir for a period of time, the couple will find another person to try." In fact, most of the reason for the enlightenment of men and women in Jiuqiu is the need to breed offspring. Speaking of this, Mingshu paused and added, "Not including Wufu's people." When the couple had a child, their relationship was very strong. Aunt Mei ran away with someone a year after giving birth to Bao Gu, so he thought it was a great shame. ”

Li Xiang nodded: "No wonder when he quarreled with Grandpa Mei, he said that Baogu was a wild seed born by that cheap woman and others." ”

Mingshu was a little excited: "How can he say this about his son?

Li Xiang said: "Forget it, Sister Shu, don't talk about him, don't tell Bao Gu." Mingshu nodded. Li Xiang asked again: "With your Yang family and Master Qi Yun, why does Grandpa Mei have to find Master Jin to be Baogu's teacher?"

Mingshu said: "Bao Gu's talent is in making weapons, and Master Jin's attainments in making weapons are counted in the entire Jiuqiu, and Grandpa Mei's choice is not wrong." ”

Li Xiang signaled to understand, but he still felt that Brother Tai's weapon was also very powerful. Mingshu tells him that her brother's specialty lies in the tricks of small objects, while Master Jin is better at making large objects. In terms of pattern and momentum, her brother is not as good as Master Jin. Her brother is always entangled in mundane affairs, and Master Jin has been obsessed with making utensils all his life and has no worries, as a teacher, it is very suitable.

At this time, another large fish hit the bow of the boat. Mingshu said that the rivers and lakes in Jiuqiu are not suitable for fish life, so they choose calm underground passages or natural dark rivers as habitats. Due to living in the dark for a long time, the eyes have deteriorated, so it often hits the ship's planks.

Passing by another camp, both of them were in a bit of a hurry, so they docked the boat. When Li Xiang came out of the house, he saw Mingshu sowing seeds, and Li Xiang was surprised: "Can you also grow souls in this underground passage?"

Mingshu said: "There is a small piece of soil here, my brother is too thin, I will get you some delicious food, so that you can grow some meat." ”

Li Xiang suddenly thought of what Mingshu said when he was crying a few days ago, and he asked, "Sister Shu, is my shoulder really so ugly?" Mingshu nodded seriously.

After walking for more than half a day, there was a fork in the front, and the road sign pointed to Taotang Qigong Village and Chiwang Yelin Village. Mingshu said that there are still seven or eight days to go to Yelin Village, let's go to Qigong Village to rest and recuperate, and by the way, see if we can help the villagers do something. Li Xiang agreed.

After only five minutes of passing the fork, I saw the exit portal of Qigong Village, and at this time, the two gates of the portal were closed, and there was a lock in the center. Li wanted to say, I'll come. The boat approached, Li Xiang put the bracelet close to the door lock, the door opened, and Li Xiang rowed out sixty energy points, Li Xiang said in his heart, this is indeed not something that ordinary people can consume, no wonder Brother Tai said that many people would rather go to the desert.
