Chapter 555: Déjà vu
Having a plan to accompany Wang Li made Zhang Rui very relieved about Wang Li's safety, and now that Wang Li has been released from prison, his mentality is more relaxed.
"What's the matter, how did they hurt you in addition to drugged?"
The three of them said as they walked, Zhang Rui's tone was also a little jumpy, she hadn't gone to the prison to see Wang Li recently, and she didn't know what was going on.
Wang Li looked scared when he thought of this.
"Of course there is, you don't know, they actually want to fake an accident where I failed to escape from prison and was killed!"
"Huh?"
Zhang Rui looked Wang Li up and down.
"Snort...... Just you, prison break, they think so highly of you, you have to be trusted by the people above to do this!"
"Oh, several vicious prisoners in the cells around me were also released, they wanted to fake the accident of everyone's escape, and then even killed me, thanks to Mr. Ji's presence, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to get out of this Changyang Mansion prison!"
Zhang Rui subconsciously looked at Ji Yuan on the other side, who had a calm face, just shook his head and smiled.
"Hey, aren't we going to a restaurant for dinner, or are we going to another house?"
Wang Li suddenly found that the footsteps of the three of them did not stop in front of the two restaurants passing by, and he turned back frequently because of the smell of gluttonous insects, if it weren't for Ji Yuan and Zhang Rui not stopping, he would have been unable to walk a long time ago.
"Eat, eat, eat, you know to eat, and you don't want to think about what you look like?"
Wang Li was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he had been in the prison for so long, and he had not corrected and washed up when he came out all of a sudden, of course, he didn't have any decent appearance, and he found that the people around him looked at him very strangely, and he suddenly wanted to hide his face with some shame.
......
Two days later, in the early morning, a small boat departed from Changyangfu Water Port and sailed leisurely along the Tongtian River in the direction of Gyeonggi Province.
Now it is the season of cold and freezing, cargo ships are relatively rare, there are few ships on the river, and soon after sailing out of Changyang City, you can see the snow on the river bank.
It's still the first lunar month, but the Lantern Festival has passed, Ji Yuan has really spent a year in prison this time, of course he can feel the changes of the old and new years, but Wang Li and the other prisoners don't feel anything, and they don't even add a piece of meat to the meal in the prison.
Zhang Rui wore a white velvet cloak with a hood, standing alone at the bow of the boat, looking at the scenery of the river and the snow on both sides.
Originally, Ji Yuan didn't plan to bring Wang Li, but Wang Li really wanted to see the real ending of the story of "White Deer Yuan", so as to really complete this story, which can be regarded as convincing Ji Yuan.
At the stern of the boat there were two boatmen, two brothers, one rocking the oar, and the other boiling water on a stove for tea.
After Ji Yuan corrected a few inconsistencies in the writing, he felt that the article "Wandering Dream" was smoother than before, and his mood was a little better, and he looked up, Wang Li in front of him was still writing, and even scribbled his previous words on the draft, looking at the paper, only giving Ji Yuan a feeling of "miserable". Looking at the bow of the boat again, Zhang Rui stood there like a sculpture, not knowing what he was thinking.
Obviously, although Zhang Rui cultivates the Tao of God and his Taoism has improved a little compared to before, he doesn't attach much importance to his own cultivation, and he has no psychological burden on the realm under his jurisdiction, and he feels that even if the Taoism of the gods is gone, it is nothing to be a ghost. Zhang Rui's seemingly unmotivated mentality, Ji Yuan has a little appreciation, dares to love and hate, and will not regret his choice, more free and easy than him.
"Mr. Ji, there seems to be something under the river. ”
Zhang Rui's voice came into Ji Yuan's ears, but the people around him didn't notice it, and Zhang Rui didn't turn around.
Ji Yuan picked up a piece of rice paper on the table, which was full of fine fly-headed small characters, and as he picked up the page, smoke was dragged out of his sight.
"Don't worry, it's the Yaksha patrolling the river in the Tongtian River, who noticed that you, a ghost-like person, were standing on the bow of the boat, so he just paid a little attention. ”
It is not surprising that Zhang Rui was discovered by the underwater Yaksha, in terms of Taoism, any Yaksha in the Tianjiang River is better than her.
At this moment, under the surface of the water, there were two Yaksha with a slightly hideous face holding green steel guns, following the boat, their long hair spread out in the river, feeling the changes in the river.
The rocking of the boat stirred the waves behind it, and from the bottom of the river it looked like the light had been stirred. In the pot on the stove, the water was already boiling, and the boatman hurriedly scooped the boiling water into the teapot where the tea leaves were placed.
The Yaksha has a keen sense of hearing, and the sound of pouring water into the pot from the boat can be heard clearly by them underwater.
"Hehe, Mr. Ji, Mr. Wang, the tea is ready, please use it slowly, the boiling water is hot, you must let it cool!"
"Okay, thank you boatman, you can get busy. ”
"Hey, that gentleman has something to call me!"
"Hmm. ”
The two underwater Yakshasas perked up and glanced at each other.
"Is it Mr. Ji?"
"There will be no mistake, it is indeed Mr. Ji's voice, you follow the ship, I will report it!"
A Yaksha then departed, as if blending into the water but far faster than the current, and quickly disappeared from Ji Yuan's perception.
Zhang Rui on the boat looked back at Ji Yuan, who was pouring tea and didn't have any special reaction, but she didn't believe that Mr. Ji didn't notice.
Around evening, a boat twice as big as the boat where Ji Yuan and the others were sailing head-on, Zhang Rui could see the smoke floating on the boat from a distance, and Ji Yuan had already smelled the fragrance in the wind.
The speed of the boat on the opposite side seemed to be quite fast, and it was only a moment to see from a distance that a man and a woman in brocade robes were standing side by side in the bow of the boat, and the boat was still more than ten feet away, and they were already saluting this way.
"Little nephew Ying Feng!" "Little nephew Ying Ruoli!"
"Meet Uncle Ji!"
This scene seemed familiar, Wang Li couldn't think of it, Zhang Rui remembered it after thinking for a while, and Ji Yuan walked outside the cabin in a few steps and nodded at the two.
"No need to be polite. ”
As he spoke, Ji Yuan looked at their cabin.
"What's delicious?"
Ying Feng smiled and let go of a position, revealing the scene in the cabin behind him, two water spirits in the shape of a man were spreading out the things on the table, there were pots and plates, and they were steaming everywhere.
"Uncle Ji, there are a few more, the weather is cold, there is nothing more comfortable than a warm and warm meal, there are fresh fish in the Tiantian River, and there are also warm pots. ”
"Yes!
Ji Yuan praised Ying Feng, this kind of idea must have been thought up by this dragon.
So, Ji Yuan got on the opposite boat alone, while Zhang Rui, Wang Li and the two boatmen stayed on their boat to eat, but they were also given sumptuous dishes, the same warm pot, and even a bag of spicy noodles left by Ji Yuan.
"Hehe, thanks to Mr. Ji's blessing, I ate so much tonight!"
"yes, there's such a good wine, tsk!"
The tables of the two boatmen and Zhang Rui were separated, except for the beginning of the time to touch glasses with Wang Li, they never came, and as for the cold Zhang Rui, he didn't dare to talk to him more.
Wang Li chewed the food in his mouth, looked at the boat that was also anchored on the side, and whispered to Zhang Rui.
"Hey, I suddenly remembered that we had seen these two people before, so I said how they were a little familiar, it's been a few years, these two look so handsome and so young, isn't it amazing?"
Wang Li looked at Zhang Rui, just like the girl Zhang in front of him, after all these years, his temples have frosted and Zhang Rui has not changed.
Zhang Rui symbolically took a vegetable with chopsticks and put it in his mouth to chew, then spit it into his palm, nodded and whispered to Wang Li.
"I know, that woman is Ying Niangniang of Tongtianjiang!"
"Ying Niangniang?"
Wang Li was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly widened his eyes and took a deep breath.
"This ......"
Before the words came out, Wang Li, who was glared at by Zhang Rui, held back again, and then asked carefully.
"What about the man?
"Who do you ask, I'm asking? It's pretty good anyway!"
On the other side of the boat, Ying Ruoli and Ying Feng's expressions were a little more serious, basically Ying Ruoli was talking, Ji Yuan was listening, and what they were talking about was not a trivial matter, but Lao Long ordered someone to bring back the news a while ago.
"None of the Dragon Monarchs have been able to find out the exact source of the dragon corpse worm?"
"Well, but when they swept away the last batch of dragon corpse insects visible in the barren sea, one of the dragon corpse insects had some Taoism but still had no sense, and was pinched out by my father's spell to pinch out a wisp of longing divine light, trying to continue to trace the source, but this divine light had no sense of involvement, and it was not an insect shape, but a strange monster shape that had never been seen before, although it immediately collapsed and dispersed, but it brought several dragon monarchs a temporary sense of depression. ”
As he spoke, Ying Ruoli cast a spell to gather a cloud of water and change it into the shape embodied in the old dragon's divine thing.
Ji Yuan looked at the change in the shape of the water, and felt a little strange, with velvet and wings, long hind limbs, large mouths and fangs, but the specific body shape was blurred.
"Uncle Ji, several dragon monarchs are a little concerned about this matter, my father thinks you may know what this is. ”
Ji Yuan frowned and looked at the water-shaped thing that the dragon girl had turned into, he really couldn't see what it was.
"I really can't see this, if I was there at the time, maybe I could guess with that feeling, at this moment, the water pattern has its shape, and it is so vague, I can't say it. ”
Hearing this, the dragon girl couldn't think about it, and was about to withdraw the spell, but Ji Yuan suddenly had a trace of speculation.
"Maybe Ji can try something else. ”
Ji Yuan suddenly remembered that there was another thing in his hand, although it might not be able to have any accurate results, but it could make him understand a direction, but the new method was not suitable for use on the ship.
About half an hour later, Ji Yuan moved to the water mansion with the dragon son and the dragon girl, and after a while, there were bursts of majestic voices in the main hall
"Roar...... I am a pig, who dares to disturb here? I am a pig, who dares to disturb here?"
