The surging Han water flows down the river.

Last time, when he returned south with Ding Maochun, he took the land route, and this time he deliberately took a water route. After all, I grew up in Wuzhi Mountain since I was a child, and after I came out of the mountain, I stayed in the desert, and I have never seen the smoke and water of the south of the Yangtze River.

Bai Yujing went north to Xiangyang through the Han River, and when he arrived in Xiangyang, he changed another boat and entered Henan from the Baihe River. The boat is rippling, the boatman is an old style, and when the oars are rocked, they are like Bai Yujing drinking, and they will not splash the slightest water stain.

After about daylight, at this time, the boat suddenly stopped, and the voice of the old boatman also came in: "This Taoist master, I can't go for the time being, and I happened to meet the sacrificial Sea Dragon King." ”

"Sacrifice to the Sea Dragon King?" Bai Yujing woke up in a daze.

In the distance, the river gradually opens up, and fishing boats dock on both banks. On the south shore, hundreds of people gathered together, burning incense and paper, and the strangest thing was that there was a red sedan chair.

"Every year, on the occasion of the summer solstice, frost falls, and winter solstice, the locals must offer a beautiful girl to the Sea Dragon King, otherwise once the Sea Dragon King is angry, all the boats will not be able to pass, and the fishermen will have no way to live. The old boatman's face was wrinkled like a ravine, and he was full of helplessness when he said this.

Bai Yujing looked at the sedan chair in the distance, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

"It's close to Nanyang Mansion here, so no one cares about it?" Bai Yujing said slowly.

The old boat family shook his head and said, "The official family has sent people to stop it every year, but wherever there is no place to worship the girl, the Sea Dragon King will be angry. Those officials couldn't stop it, and in the end they couldn't do it. Anyway, the world is uneven now, and human life is like grass. ”

"Boatman, row the boat over. Bai Yujing frowned slightly.

"This ...... How dare this little one?" the boatman looked terrified, "This Daoist, you want a small life." "He seems to be kowtowing to Bai Yujing," Mo said that the Sea Dragon King was angry, even if those dragons gave an order, the small ones would have to drown in this river, and even Dao Ye, you would have to have a bloody disaster. ”

Bai Yujing flicked his long sleeves and said with a smile: "Long Zhu? I have only heard of temple Zhu or something, but I have never heard of any Long Zhu." ”

The boatman looked at the small boats moored on the river bank in the distance with some fear, and said slowly: "This Dao master, you are not from here, you don't know, the Sea Dragon King has great powers, and naturally there are people who serve its old man, and those people claim to be Long Zhu." It is they who ask for maidens from various villages along the river every year. ”

Bai Yujing's eyes sparkled and he looked at the distance ahead. The boatman would definitely not row the boat over, so he couldn't help but say, "Then the poor road will lend you a few supports." He saw that there were still a few more braces in the bow. Step out and kick your left foot on a brace.

The penny flew out in an instant.

"Dao Ye, what are you ......" Before the boatman finished speaking, he saw Bai Yujing lifting his body like a shock, and with a "whoosh" sound, he had already fluttered a few feet away.

When this breath of true qi was exhausted, he saw that he was about to fall to the surface of the river, but he stepped on his left foot with his right foot with his right foot and his left foot on his right foot, borrowing from each other, and jumped several feet away again, just landing on the pole that flew out. Suddenly, the penny burst out on the surface of the river like an arrow that flew out.

Back in the day, Patriarch Bodhidharma crossed the Yangtze River with a leaf of reed.

In contrast, it is not uncommon for Bai Yujing to cross the river with the help of the support under his feet.

"Look at ......"

On the bank of the river, three sandalwood sticks several feet high on the altar were burning vigorously, and the smoke was curling. A middle-aged man with a disheveled hair with strange runes painted on his face, his clothes were disheveled, and he was rolling and jumping. Under the altar, countless villagers knelt respectfully on the ground, bowed their heads, and were silent. Of course, there were also those who wept bitterly, because it was their relatives in the sedan chair.

But at this moment, I don't know who shouted: "Look at ......

I saw a figure coming on the river, his head was full of green silk tied into a bun, his face was delicate, he carried a long sword, and wore a spacious cyan robe. At this moment, it seems to be a man among the gods.

"Mo is not the true person of Emperor Chunyang of Donghua. Someone exclaimed.

On the occasion of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Jiajing believed in Taoism, regardless of the north and south of the river, the legend of Taoist immortals was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Although Nanyang Mansion is located in the Central Plains, the rumors of Lu Dongbin, the real person of Chunyang, are also widely known. What's more, this place is not far from Wudang Mountain, and there are many people who worship Taoism.

"Now Ying'er is saved. One of them, a middle-aged man with a sad face, muttered a tear-stained face that intertwined with wrinkles.

The middle-aged man on the altar was also awakened by the noise below, and looked at Bai Yujing who was floating over, a trace of surprise flashed on his face.

Suddenly, a sad voice came: "Emperor Lord, Emperor Lord, you have to be the master of the little one......" The middle-aged man with a sad face had already rushed out and knelt down on the bank of the river.

"Third Brother Du......" Someone among the villagers exclaimed, and another man who looked quite majestic called: "Du Wu, don't come back soon!"

The middle-aged man on the altar glanced at the group of people standing on either side, and immediately several large men in cotton jackets rushed up. The man who shouted Du Wu to come back just now saw it, and hurriedly said: "Lord Long Zhu is angry, Du Wu is just talking nonsense when he is too sad for a while." ”

At this time, when the big men were about to arrest Du Wu, they felt a soft and surging energy attack. Suddenly, except for Du Wu, the big men all rolled and flew out.

"The Emperor's ......"

When many villagers saw this scene, they shouted one after another.

It's just that Bai Yujing, who was still on the river a few feet away, had already come to Du Wu like a gust of wind and gently helped him up.

"Little Taoist, which Taoist temple are you? Today is the day of the Sea Dragon King's great joy, didn't your parents warn you? The middle-aged man on the altar shouted.

Bai Yujing laughed and said, "This emperor has traveled to the world for many days, and he has never heard of any Sea Dragon King. When you wait for the charm and the ghost to bewitch the villagers here, he will be punished by heaven one day, and he will not retreat quickly. After speaking, the person was like a flying hong, and there was a sword roar, and the lone smoke soft sword on his waist was like a swimming dragon, rising in the air, and the altar built of four rough logs collapsed instantly.

The middle-aged man with his hair scattered exclaimed in surprise, crawled to the side with a rolling belt, and shouted, "The Sea Dragon King will punish you." ”

"It's really the manifestation of Emperor Donghua!" someone exclaimed!

"Lord Emperor!"

Suddenly, all the villagers bowed down again, and Bai Yujing couldn't help but be stunned when he saw it, he was just a joke just now.

"Giggles"

Just when Bai Yujing didn't know what to say, a burst of wind chime-like laughter came: "Little Taoist, you are the Emperor of Donghua, and I am the Queen Mother of the West." ”

The long skirt like fire, accompanied by the sunset, is like a sunset falling into the river. For some reason, Bai Yujing's heart trembled violently as he looked at this figure. He seemed to think of that night, when the old monk had said a lot of things in a fool's mind, and he had insomnia.

He dreamed.

I dreamed of a fiery red figure riding a fiery horse, leading him to gallop on the grassland, watching the sunset, watching the sunset.

"As for the Sea Dragon King, this Queen Mother is here to eliminate harm for the people and arrest the evil spirit. ”

When the villagers heard her words, their faces changed greatly, and they also knew that Bai Yujing was not the Emperor of Donghua. One of them was frightened and said, "It's over, it's over, the Sea Dragon King will definitely be angry." There were also people who glared at Na Du Wu angrily, "It's all your fault, isn't it just a daughter......"

Du Wu had already taken out his daughter in the sedan chair, his face was full of panic and helplessness, and the two quickly knelt on the ground, as if begging for forgiveness.

"Hmph. ”

The man was about to say a few words, but with a cold drink in his ears, he felt trembling all over his body and fell to the ground, and the woman in the fiery red dress helped Du Wu and the others up. When the others saw this, they fled in panic.

Yao ...... Miss Yao ......"

As soon as Bai Yujing's words came out, he regretted it a little, afraid of abrupt her.

"How do you know that this girl's surname is Yao?" The woman's face was a little round, her eyes were large and bright, and she smiled like two bright moons at this time.

Sure enough, she doesn't remember me. Bai Yujing said secretly, and a trace of sourness arose in his heart out of thin air.

"Why don't you little Taoist don't speak again, when you called yourself the emperor just now, this girl saw that you were still quite graceful, how can you look like those nerds at the moment. ”

"I ......" Bai Yujing suddenly laughed, it had been so long, it was normal for her not to remember. It's okay to get acquainted again. "Poor Bai Yujing, I've seen Miss Yao. ”

"Bai Yujing!" This woman is Yao Mingyue, who once had a relationship with Bai Yujing, Yao Mingyue was obviously stunned when she heard Bai Yujing's words, "You are also called Bai Yujing." Only then did she take a closer look at Bai Yujing: "She looks okay, but she doesn't know how she can do it?"

Bai Yujing is a little strange, why is my name Bai Yujing, is there anyone else called Bai Yujing?

"Daoye, Daoye, I have to go, you can give me the boat fare you owe. Suddenly, a small boat floated over on the river, and it was the boat that Bai Yujing was on. Bai Yujing didn't have time to ask the woman, so he had to say to the boatman: "The boatman, we have discussed, you take me to Song County, why do you have to leave halfway." ”

"It's not that I'm not small, I don't take Dao Ye with you, it's you who offended the Sea Dragon King, how dare I carry you again. The small ones are old, and the ones are small, so you can let the villain go. The boatman said.

Seeing this, Bai Yujing didn't say much, and when he was about to pay off the ship's fare, Yao Mingyue suddenly smiled and said, "This girl is short of a boat, you might as well sell this boat to me." After speaking, the figure moved, and the red skirt under his feet swayed, like a blooming lotus, and in an instant, he crossed a few feet to the bow of the ship.

Bai Yujing saw her take out a silver ticket from her sleeve, and the boatman immediately got off the boat with a smile, and kept giving the woman a smile.

"Emperor Donghua, he still doesn't go with this queen mother to surrender to the Sea Dragon King. Yao Mingyue stood on the bow of the boat and beckoned to Bai Yujing. Bai Yujing immediately smiled, and when he got to the boat, he heard her say, "Little Taoist, do you know how to row?"

Dare to find a boatman.

It's just that Bai Yujing, a person who grew up in the northwest, how can he row, and he was in a dilemma, only to hear a dull voice coming: "Two benefactors, I will row, I will go with you." ”

Du Wu had never been so bold as he was now, knowing that these two were going to find the Sea Dragon King, and he had to row for them. At this moment, even if there is no return, he has to go. Otherwise, the Sea Dragon King would be angry, and those people would have to arrest his Ying'er.

"Ying'er, you go to your mother's place, I'll go back when I go. ”
