On both sides of the Hanjiang River, Cangshan is connected with Caixia, and the gorge is re-entered into the gorge.

Kongling is located in the middle of the western section of Tianmen Gorge of the Liangjiang Waterway, 600 miles upstream of the Jiangdu City at the junction of Wu and Chu. Kongling is also known as the empty hearing, which means empty boat. Forty miles wide reckless river to reach here, the rushing waterway narrows sharply, the reef and dangerous shoal turn seven and eight turns, the rapids are turbulent and the boat road is difficult to travel, there is a saying in this gorge: "Qingtan is not a beach, Kongling is the ghost gate." "Compared with the upstream Qingtan and the discharge beach, Kongling Gorge is the most dangerous, and it is the "Lazikou" on the two rivers.

In this hundred miles of Kongling Dangerous Beach, there is an even more dangerous place, and you can't do it at night.

According to legend, Emperor Shun in ancient times suffered from drought in the world, and there was no rain for thousands of miles in the dry land. Emperor Shun was anxious to order Huang Mang Canglong to use rain to moisten the ground, but this Canglong was in harmony with the Nixian Cloud Fan at that time, and he was very impatient to disobey the holy order, and hurriedly applied a torrential rain in the curtain, causing a flash flood, and washing a complete and flat mountain into thousands of ravines. King Shun was furious and beheaded the evil dragon in the Kongling Gorge. In order to warn future generations to do very much, Emperor Shun set up a dragon slaying platform here, reflecting that the real dragon spotted bloodstains always exist.

The years have eroded, and the seal on the dragon slaying platform has long been broken. With the confluence of the Huangmang River into the Canglan, the cold water of the two rivers blended and gathered, the water level of the river has already risen by 100 zhang, and the dragon cutting platform has disappeared into the gorge river.

For thousands of years, the surging cold river water has never fallen at all, and a large reef with an area of hundreds of zhang square gradually appears on the surface of the water. The river was still slowly descending, but the huge rock surface was very smooth, and there was no silt or moss to grow.

Suddenly, the black scales the size of a basin glided gently against the surface of the water.

Boom!

Something stirred the bottom of the river, and it was full of filth and surging upwards, and huge bubbles appeared. As the river slowly recedes, the top of the reef slowly emerges, and there seems to be some terrifying behemoth hidden under the boulder.

Crash!

Suddenly, the turbid river water gushed out dozens of zhang high splashes, and the huge black-scaled monster drilled out of the reef cave, and its huge body jumped high, smashing fiercely towards the heart of the cold river, stirring up layers of huge waves, and the incomparably domineering black scales broke through the turbulent river water, and quickly went upstream.

Lin Yusheng, who was in the upper reaches of Kongling Gorge, was still unconscious in mid-air with his sword in his hands, the Moyang Sword was no longer absorbing the flow of water, and the evil eye on the sword grid had closed at some point, leaving only a single eye like a closed one, and a thin eyeliner across the sword grid. It seems that they can immediately open their eyes and devour everything.

The flower cat in her arms gradually adapted to the sword that burned black fire, and was no longer afraid that the sword would eat her. The flower cat retracted its claws on its front feet and slapped it vigorously on Lin Yusheng's face, hoping to wake up its owner. But after slapping and scratching like this for a long time, there was still no movement.

The lower reaches of the two rivers, the Yinzhao waterway.

The jade attic ship stranded in the middle of the river, on the third deck, stepped down the two people in red and silver robes. The two boarded a light sampan boat, and the boatman pushed the oars hard, and the boat left the waterway and rowed towards the shoal.

The red-clothed servant said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Childe, the captain of the building said that there are still three bays and two beams from Yinzhao City here. Normally, it is only half a day's journey down the river. ”

"Hmm. It shouldn't be very far! It shouldn't take us long to go overland. ”

Because the river receded so badly that the small sampan could only anchor in the shallow mud. Looking at the riverbank that was still hundreds of zhang away, I looked at the silt on the riverbed at the front of the boat. The handsome young man lifted the hem of the silver robe with one hand, put his right hand on the shoulder of the man in red, and lightly stepped on the bow of the sampan with his toes, and the two of them instantly rose into the air.

Gusts of wind blew across the placket of the garment, and the sound of breaking the air.

After a few breaths, the young man slapped down several times in a row, using his strength to pull up. A few fluttering ups and downs, one red and one white, flew off the river beach and landed on the grass hundreds of feet away.

"Childe, it's this way! We should be going this way, in the direction of the river. ”

After landing, the silver-robed young man was a little unrecognizable. Hearing the servant's shouting, he quickly turned around and hurried to catch up with the servant in red.

Although the relationship between the two was that of master and servant, the man in red still walked in front and stretched out his hand to help the silver-robed boy pull the grass and explore the way. The winding mountain road is very difficult to navigate, and the dense forest is overgrown with shrubs and weeds. Because they were unfamiliar with the terrain, it took the two of them about an hour to get out of this place.

Looking at the sheep's intestine path not far ahead, the red-clothed servant was very happy and shouted loudly.

"Childe, there's a road here, over here!"

"There! next to that little tree!"

The red-clothed servant shouted, raising his hand to guide the direction and look at the young man.

"Sanbao, as long as there is a road, let's walk along this path. The boy lowered the hem of his silver robe and walked towards the path.

The servant Sanbao hurriedly bowed his waist and followed.

Just as the master and servant were walking towards this path, a few miles away, at the end of the sheep intestine path, a nail junction connected to the official road. More than a dozen black-faced men in coarse linen clothes were lying on their backs leaning on a fallen tree, poking and farting each other boredly.

"Yang Lao Er, do you think anyone can come today?"

"Wei San's kid said that a big fish will pass by here these days, and if we want to keep an eye on it, don't lose the rich man!" The thin monkey with the eyes of the thief mother and mouse lowered his head and fiddled with the sharp knife in his hand, digging into the mud exposed in the big mother's toes outside the straw sandals.

"The Yuegang knife given by Wei San, you really like a baby knife and never leave your hand! This good knife can be used to slaughter people and shave meat, why do you still use this knife to pick your feet! You eat the most at noon, and when you will run out of stomach and go to the woods to pout, don't use this knife to dig!"

The skinny monkey named Yang Laosan scolded loudly: "I can't chop a stick to rub it! ”

The fat man gently rubbed his stomach with one hand, ignoring the thin monkey's ironic scolding, and complained loudly: "We have been waiting here for three days, and this rich man has not even seen a single word!

"Yes!

"This Wei San, whether he is reliable or not, can't he be conditioning our brothers!"

"I'm also going to rob some money, so that I can go to the Drunken Immortal Tower in Hidden Zhao City to have a good meal!

"Yes, yes, the forbidden grapes of Xiaocui in Piaoxiang Courtyard are jasper round, oops, I'm drooling!"

The man in black who was bored was fantasizing about how to rob a big ticket and get money to be happy.

The master and servant who were walking on the sheep intestine path suddenly heard that there were people outside the woods, and then quickened their pace and walked towards the outside of the forest.

The red-clothed servant was relieved in his heart, and said with a happy face: "Childe, it seems that there are noisy people ahead, and this should not be far from the official road." If the few people in front of them can have substitute horses, the slave family will go to get them for the son to ride. The man in red had a pleasing face, smiling like a flower and flattering.

The two of them walked out of the fork in the road. When they appeared behind a dozen men, the master and servant stood in the middle of the official road.

The red-clothed servant glanced at the young man, then stepped forward and shouted to the dozen or so men in front of him, "Hey, you mountain people, where is this place, how do you go to Yinzhao City?"
