In the southwest of Xunzhou, the Demon Mist Forest is lush and stretches for hundreds of miles, becoming a natural barrier between Chishui and Tianfu. The green river crosses the river, and it takes just one day to sail.

The sun is shining, Si Quan and his party are finally on the road, different from the bright sun outside, there is a white mist in the forest since ancient times, the whole world has become peaceful, and the river is also infected by the vast and ancient atmosphere. The river has flowed for thousands of years, and if you look closely at the riverbank, there are traces of decay of older trees where the ancient trees have grown.

Regardless of the level of skill, every time they pass through the forest, everyone is instinctively vigilant, and the timid are even more nervous and sweaty, the fog is too big, and if you are not careful, you may sink the ship.

Si Quan also frowned, somehow, he always felt that these white mist were different from the past, one was scarce and the other was thin, as if there was life, some places were too thick, and even touched.

The fat captain with a thief's eyebrows and rat eyes stood happily beside Si Quan: This is a big amount of money, maybe he can cheat more money.

"Boss relax, I grew up on this Kanjiang River since I was a child, I am closer to it than my father and mother, and I am more familiar than my daughter-in-law, with me, it's okay. ”

"It's better to worry about yourself, there is something wrong with this fog, tell your subordinates to be careful, this has just entered the forest, and I don't know what the hell there is in front of you." ”

The captain was stunned: the young man who spoke to him in such a tone was the first time he saw it, as if he had been ordered as a matter of course, had he forgotten who was the boss of the ship?

"What's wrong with this fog? It's no different than before. ”

Si Quan said no more, and was as silent as his surroundings, a dead silence.

Entering the depths of the forest, the white fog was still filled, and the only sound was the movement of the hull of the ship rowing water.

"It's really evil, it's a sunny day, but you can't see the sun here. ”

There were three people on the entire deck, and in addition to the commander, there was also the captain and his lieutenant. The deputy muttered as he was about to enter the cabin, when suddenly his face changed, and the outline of a passenger ship appeared in his eyes.

"Captain, look, it's the same guy from last night. ”

"I don't need you to say it, I saw it too!"

The captain replied angrily, and in a hurry, he turned the rudder sharply and almost capsized. They are all people who rely on the water to eat, and he also knows the boatman last night, but the other party actually stopped the boat on the river, and it looks like a robbery in the water. Because the fog was too big, I saw it very closely, but fortunately he was skilled at the helm, otherwise he would have crashed.

"His grandmother's, Zheng Er, what the hell are you doing?

The fat man narrowly avoided it, felt angry, and scolded a few words loudly. The two sides passed by, but the other boat was eerily quiet, and no one answered him.

"Captain, there seems to be no one on the other side's ship?"

The deputy timidly returned to the captain's side, carefully examined the other ship, and spoke.

"Could it be that you have encountered a river bandit? No, who would dare to fall into the grass here?"

"I advise you not to meddle in your business, and to get out of this place as soon as possible. ”

Hearing Si Quan's words, the captain suddenly froze, and when he looked, he found that the other party's ship was stationary, and there were bursts of white mist floating out of it. Suddenly his face turned pale: "I heard that there is a river in this Kanjiang, but I didn't expect Zheng Er to meet it." ”

"Hebo, you say a water ghost?"

"The boss said cautiously, the contemptible people grew up on the water since they were children, and they also lived according to it, and this Hebo is our protector, and he can't be outspoken. ”

"I don't care, but your friend is probably less lucky, and I can sense that there are no living people on the boat opposite. ”

"We've only met a few times, so we're not friends. This place should not be stayed for long, let's leave quickly. ”

The fat captain had seen all kinds of guests, and he felt more and more unfathomable that Si Quan was unfathomable, and while putting aside his relationship with Zheng Er, he became more polite.

"The boss is going to Fujiang City for business, right?"

Si Quan is funny, this fat captain is incompetent, he actually found out the details of the guests?

"Yes, I heard that Fujiang City is now under the control of the Chishui Sect, and all kinds of waste are thriving, and merchants are flocking in, I don't want to miss the opportunity to make a fortune too late. ”

"Heh, the boss is well-informed, but the Fujiang River has not been peaceful recently, so it's best to try it elsewhere. ”

"There are not many places on the mainland where you can do business with peace of mind, and Chishui is so big, where else can you go?"

"Hidden Wind City, who is doing business now is not running to Hidden Wind City. Situ Demon Girl almost recruited the top ten fairies on the phoenix list to Hidden Wind City, just hearing the wind and moving, everyone went to know how much, and if you are lucky, you can meet Fengxian to see the beauty, and now even the young ladies who are looking for a son-in-law are also in an endless stream, and there is Shangguan in charge, and business opportunities are everywhere!"

Si Quan has a black line, how can it be said that it is all the credit of Situ Ying?

"Alas, I've also thought about it in Hidden Wind City, but I just thought that as a man, I couldn't help but do it when I saw the white wolf!"

"It's okay, it's just a little white face, if it weren't for the light of the fairies, who would know him? It is said that no one has ever seen him in the house, and I am afraid that he is also worried about life

Life safety. ”

Speaking of this, the fat man winked obscenely at Si Quan and continued: "I have an acquaintance who has joined the Chishui Sect, and he is on duty in the General Affairs Academy, and he is doing well, if you have the desire to go to Hidden Wind City, I can help you set up a match." ”

"Officials and businessmen collude, I heard that the city lord of Hidden Wind City is Yin Mi, right?"

"Hey, you can't turn around, right? They are all in a circle, I have acquaintances and acquaintances, as long as you can mix up a familiar face, there are more opportunities, isn't it?"

"Forget it, I'm still optimistic about Fujiang City. ”

"That's better, Chishui is hundreds of miles around, and the six large and small cities are all under the control of the General Affairs Yuan, with this level of relationship, where can my acquaintances not get a relationship?"

If it was an ordinary businessman, maybe he was really moved by the captain's words, and Si Quan wanted to lead the topic to the women and was smug, but the deputy suddenly grabbed the corner of the captain's clothes, and was so frightened that he couldn't speak.

"Wow, why are you pulling me?"

The deputy did not answer, his trembling hand pointed forward, and the captain looked in the direction, but a sparrow that had landed on the side of the ship shivered.

"Look at you, it's just a woodfinch, it's not enough for you to eat, don't be ashamed!"

"No, it's not a woodfinch, it's a bunch!"

The captain was surprised, and looked at it more closely.

"Are you blind, or do you call one a ball? Boss, don't care about him, the doctor has said that he is a boating syndrome, a paranoia caused by physical and mental reasons, and people like me who grew up on the water are not so delicate. ”

Si Quan stared vigilantly at the dense fog in front of the woodbird, and said expressionlessly: "He is not talking about the woodfinch. ”

The captain was stunned, and when he looked again, he saw the woodfinch take off in horror, but the white mist surrounded it as if it had come to life, and then the figure of the woodfinch disappeared into the white mist. The captain's face changed greatly, and he shouted: "Turn the rudder, turn the rudder, it's fog!"

"Captain, you're at the helm!"

"Yes, I'm at the helm, and I'm still stunned about what to do, everyone is in place. ”

Seeing the frightened and frightened appearance of a boatload of people, Si Quan quickly reacted to what the captain said about the fog. It is said that this is a kind of white mist that drifts on the sea, and it does not know where it comes from or where it goes, and when it encounters passing ships, it will disappear into it and evaporate from this world, without exception. The sailors, on the other hand, thought that the vanished people were just lost, and that when the sun shone again, the white fog would dissipate and people would be able to return to their homes.

There was a sea of fog around, and the most experienced sailors couldn't tell which was the water mist and which was the fog, and the hull of the ship tilted and turned, only Si Quan felt that the unusual fog had arrived.
