Chapter 8 A Leaf Flat Boat Crossing the River!
After breakfast, Chu Chou took Zhao Zhishui to say goodbye to the old gentleman.
"Mr. Chu, the mountains and rivers are long, and the road is long, this "Night Boat" should be a piece of my heart, may Mr. no longer be lonely!" The old man said in a sincere tone and handed out an ancient book.
"Thank you, sir. Chu Chou bowed.
"Come, little girl, and give you a little bookbasket. The old man took out a small bamboo book basket from the house and gave it to Zhao Zhishui.
Zhao Zhishui saw that the master nodded, took it happily, and shouted, "Female master, hey, hey, I will definitely be able to be a female master in the future." ”
Chu Chou smiled and touched Zhao Zhishui's head, the old scholar also stroked his beard and smiled, looking at Zhao Zhishui's gaze very fondly.
Many years later, a certain female sword immortal, before every sword, often explained the reason, and it was very reasonable. So no matter who it is, if this female sword fairy is allowed to make a move, they will think about whether they have really done something wrong. This also became an after-dinner joke in Xinjianghu later.
When Chu Chou and Zhao Zhishui were gone, the old man stood for a long time, and finally sighed, "I used to have friends all over the world, how many bosom friends can there be?"
After a few days of walking and stopping, Chu Chou took his disciples to a wide river.
Miles away, you can hear the surging sound of the rolling river, like thousands of horses galloping, the momentum is amazing.
This big river, the first in Kyushu!
It originates from the West Pole Frontier and flows to Sangyu Mountain, the easternmost sunrise place in the Eastern Regions! Passing through hundreds of millions of miles of mountains and rivers! Countless tributaries flow into this river, and countless literati and writers have written countless poems and songs that have been passed down through the ages!
"The great river comes from the middle of the ten thousand mountains, and the mountains follow the river to the east!"
"Ascend the spectacular world, the river is boundless!"
"I want to see the silver mountain shoot the waves, open the window and put it into the river!"
"The river is as white as a white practice, and a thousand sails are light with the wind!"
People in the rivers and lakes also like this. Every time a group crosses the river, few of the strong people support a flat boat to pass, and often step on a bamboo, and then float across the river. Those who have high internal strength can cross the river with only a piece of reed!
However, there are also some people who have a strong sense of victory and defeat, in order not to show weakness, they do something reckless, which leads to falling into the water and losing people, or even being directly washed away by the river, and the corpse cannot be found!
"What a big river!" Zhao Zhishui's eyes widened and his face was shocked.
"Hehe, this is not a big river, this is a big river, the specific name is different in various places, you won't be so surprised if you see more in the future. Chu Chou said with a smile, and then looked at Da Jiangdong and passed away, there are some things I want to say.
"There are many beautiful scenery in Kyushu in the world, such as the top ten famous springs, ten famous mountains, ten ancient cities, ten ancient towns, twenty-four bridges, etc., some of the beautiful scenery, I have not seen it, but I have heard of it,"
"In this life, even if you are a cultivator, you don't have a long lifespan, so you have to pay attention to this process of life. Sometimes, I feel that cultivators are really stupid, and they spend a lot of time not enjoying themselves, but instead boring cultivation and fighting. It wasn't until later that I understood what it meant to be involuntary and dreaming. ”
"In the process of cultivating in the future, you may encounter a bottleneck in your cultivation, but in fact, this is not terrible at all, what is terrible is your inner demon. Everyone has their own demons, just the size of the demon, and the small one can not be small, but it may be infinitely enlarged in an instant, and the big one can not be big, and the big demon will be as small as dust in a moment. The process of life and cultivation is actually a process of fighting against the demons in your heart. Of course, you learn to be fearful in the future, but you must always be fearless. ”
Chu Chou is Zhao Zhishui's master, so he has to preach, and this "Dao" is not only a great way, but also a truth, Chu Chou would rather Zhao Zhishui practice swords without much merit, but he must have a clear conscience to be a man!
"When I grow up, I will definitely do reading and walk more!" Zhao Zhishui clenched her little fists, waved her arms, and swore.
"Childe, do you want to cross the river?" In the distance, a flat boat floated over, and an old boat stood on it, with a pot of wine pinned to his waist, his sleeves rolled up, revealing his powerful arms, and greeted Chu Chou.
"Wait a minute, we're going to cross the river too!" Just as Chu Chou was nodding, a rough voice came from behind.
Then three men and two women walked briskly.
Three men, one of whom was a scholar, held a fan, dressed in white and had a short sword hanging from his waist. The other two men, one with thick arms, a tiger's back, carrying two mountain axes, and the other was extremely lean, not tall, with long thief eyebrows and rat eyes, and a large knife hanging from his waist.
Two women, one in purple and one in red, are both sabers, with graceful figures, fragrant skin and jade skin, and excellent demeanor.
"This ...... A small boat can only carry five people, except for me, it can only carry four people...... "The old boat was a little embarrassed.
"It's okay, I'm sending these heroes, but Jiang's. The young man in white said with a smile while shaking a sandalwood fan.
"I also want to thank a few heroes for their uneven road and pull out their swords to help, if it weren't for a few heroes, my Muting Villa would have been washed and killed by that gangster. ”
"Hahaha! Zhang Gongzi is polite! This is just the gesture of those of us who walk the rivers and lakes! Besides, we have also received a few hundred taels of silver from Guishan Villa, so we don't owe each other!" The man with the tiger's back laughed loudly.
"Zhang Gongzi, if you have a fate, see you in the future! When the time comes, I hope that Zhang Gongzi will be admitted to fame and fortune!
"Haha. Miss Sun, I'll borrow your auspicious words!" the young man in white surnamed Zhang laughed.
"Master, we're here first!" Zhao Zhishui pulled the corner of Chu Chou's clothes and whispered.
"It's okay, let a few heroes cross the river first, it should be. Chu Chou smiled and said, "Heroes, since you are heroes of the rivers and lakes, then please cross the river first!"
The big man and the rest of the people in the rivers and lakes looked at Chu Chou and understood the "rules of the rivers and lakes", so they didn't feel embarrassed anymore, and got on the boat to cross the river after saying goodbye.
The water is gentle here, so it is easy to cross the river by boat.
When Lao Zhouzi shook the boat halfway to the river, Lao Zhouzi suddenly sweated profusely.
"Hey, old man, what's wrong?" The short, thin man in the rivers and lakes who was hanging a big knife at his waist saw that Lao Zhouzi's face was pale and sweating, and he frowned and asked.
"It's okay, it's just old, my joints hurt when I rock the boat, hey, I'm old!" Lao Zhouzi's face returned to normal in a moment, wiped his sweat and explained with a smile.
"Hurry up and rock the boat! It's fast, and the uncle will give you more money when the time comes!" the big man urged.
"Eh, okay!" Lao Zhouzi nodded hurriedly.
Just now, just as he was about to knock these few human juniors who were only second-grade and third-grade off the boat and eat them, a shocking sword intent suddenly locked on him, and at that moment, the fright he had suffered in his life was incomparable!
"It's not easy to practice, since you can turn into a human being, you should be careful to have good thoughts. This insignificant sentence that appeared directly in its mind made him tremble even more.
Telephony, this is the means of the upper three grade immortals!
It finally knew why it couldn't see the depth of the cultivation of the pair of masters and apprentices on the shore! It had met a real master outside the world!
How old is the man in the green shirt and sword? It is certainly not his real age! But he can stay young forever, what does this mean? He did not dare to think deeply, for fear of annoying the masters of the world, and he would die directly.
It now sighs a little at the backs of these human beings on the boat who don't know the height of the sky, thanks to the good temper of that hidden senior! Otherwise, when it encounters a strange and mean temper, it is estimated that these so-called heroes of the rivers and lakes have already returned to the west.
After sending off the two men and two women, Lao Zhouzi hurriedly rocked the boat back to the other side, loaded Chu Chou and Zhao Zhishui, and rocked the boat with a look of awe.
"I don't care how many people you have harmed before, but from today on, you should start to benefit the people in the neighborhood and do more good deeds, and if you dare to commit murder again, you should know the consequences. Chu Chou said in a flat tone.
Falling on the ears of that Jiang carp spirit was tantamount to a thunderclap.
"Mmmm! I must keep in mind the teachings of my predecessors and never forget them! I will definitely do good deeds in the future! I will never do that harmful thing to others again!" Lao Zhouzi bent down and said in fear, afraid that he would be killed by this senior sword immortal if he did not express his position in time.
"That's very good. Chu Chou nodded, and then used the sword to draw a sword qi into Lao Zhouzi's body.
Lao Zhouzi closed his eyes, thinking that the Sword Immortal predecessor suddenly changed his mind and wanted to kill it to eliminate harm for the people, but the death it waited for did not come, but he felt as if there was a strong internal force in his body out of thin air, and he actually had the feeling of breaking through the four-rank realm and entering the fifth-grade realm!
"Xie Jianxian's seniors are very gracious! The juniors will never forget!" Lao Zhouzi burst into tears excitedly, and bowed down directly, this time he was really grateful to this senior Jianxian.
Why did you want to eat those human beings before? It's because of its limited qualifications, and entering the realm of the four grades and turning into a human form by luck is already the highest height that can be reached in this life! Only through some side crooked ways can there be any hope for a breakthrough, even if there are some side effects, but as long as you can break through, you can prolong your life! In order to live longer, you can do everything!
However, now it is about to break directly into the realm of the five grades, and there are no side effects!
"Although this sword qi can make you break the mirror, it can also monitor you, so that you can't harm people in the future, otherwise the dantian will be shattered and the avenue will be broken. ”
"It's okay! It's already the realm of the five grades, in this life, the younger generation no longer expects anything!" Lao Zhouzi sobbed, his tone with a bit of a free taste.
"Well, that's great! It's better to be safe than to be afraid. Chu Chou glanced at Lao Zhouzi's eyes and knew that Lao Zhouzi had not deceived him, so he nodded, and then stopped speaking.
As for Zhao Zhishui, she hasn't paid attention to what is happening here, but is watching the flowing river from the side, washing her face!
There were two or three people on a flat boat, and they slowly drifted across the world's largest river.
