Chapter 39: The Return

The forest is not vast, but the tall trees and the rich vitality make the whole forest more mysterious than before.

Because he had been here for a long time, even though this Hexi forest had become the nest of the Taiyi Sect, Ji Zijian was more familiar with this place than the average Taiyi Sect.

Asking himself if he didn't have the courage to cross the ancient canal again, Ji Zijian took Li Xue all the way to the west, with the current skills of the two of them, the idle Taiyi Sect members couldn't match it at all.

By the time it was almost dawn, it looked like it had gone about seven or eight hundred miles to the west. Perhaps the Taiyi Sect had sent people to clear the forest, and there were few wild beasts along the way, or it could be that the animals did not like to hide in such heavily polluted places as they approached the former industrial area to the west.

In a dilapidated hotel called "Ming Ming Accommodation", Ji Zijian took turns to restore his state, and Ji Zijian followed the direction of Li Xue's memory, non-stop, all the way to the north.

The two plan to go around in a circle and avoid the Taiyi Sect and return to the Lion City. Along the way, I passed through a lot of forests, but I still didn't encounter any large beasts. Ji Zijian wondered, could it be that human beings had easily won the melee between man and beast in this new century?

"Hulk, are you excited to see your goddess soon?"

"Well, I'm excited!haha!" Ji Zijian ran in front and couldn't help laughing. "It's been two years, it's really emotional! I didn't expect that two years later, Ben Daxia has also become a master, and this time she must be surprised!"

"Hehe!" Li Xue wanted to say something like congratulations to express her sour mood on the side, but she didn't say it for a long time.

"Cher, back to the Lion City, what are your plans?"

"I don't know, let's go home!"

"Well, it's good to go back early, the world has changed so much, you are a girl, you still don't keep running outside. Ji Zijian looked around while running: "When you arrive in the Lion City, I will invite you to a big meal to see you off, and one day, I will go to your hometown to find you." ”

Li Xue looked ahead without saying a word for a long time, and it wasn't until Ji Zijian turned his head suspiciously to see if Li Xue was listening to him, and Li Xue reluctantly said "um".

About three hours later, the ferry in Li Xue's mouth appeared in front of the two of them, and it looked like there were many people from a distance, and there was actually the size of a small port.

Fortunately, what Ji Zijian was most worried about did not happen, the port was not controlled by the powerful Taiyi Sect in Li Xue's mouth, and it was a team of armed police with guns in charge of the gatekeeping.

Ji Zijian's ID card is now only afraid that it is still on the territory of the two-headed dog on the other side of the river, but fortunately, he can pass the customs smoothly after reporting the number in the digital era, and all the processes are the same as taking the train back then, but there is no so-called security check.

I don't know if it's because technology hasn't developed enough to detect things in compressed space, or because the relevant departments have introduced other policies because of changes in heaven and earth.

The ticket price is 1,000 per person, which is already very high for crossing a river of several kilometers. Of course, for Ji Zijian, he got a huge sum of four or five hundred thousand yuan from the old worshipper of Taiyi Sect, which is just sprinkling water for Dick Si, who used to like to drink nine yuan and ninety-one catties of Pu'er tea.

However, even if it is sprinkled with water, it is his own water that is sprinkled, and Ji Zijian will certainly not forget to remind Li Xue again how much money he owes him. provoked Li Xue to roll her eyes again.

It is a passenger ship that can accommodate about 200 people at the same time. Ji Zijian was originally worried about being followed by the Taiyi Sect, but after waiting nervously for an hour to board the ship, he couldn't help but sigh again about the security capabilities of our dynasty when he saw the people's soldiers on the deck.

The canal, which was once almost dry, is now more exaggerated than the boats that could be navigated during the reign of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, and not only is the river bottomless, but the water surface is said to be 3,000 meters wide. Standing on the relatively simple deck, Ji Zijian noticed that on the river channel that had been opened up, there was a simple lighthouse every three or five hundred meters, and there were many runes pasted on the lighthouse.

These mysterious runes once again proved Ji Zijian's conjecture that the river was not as calm as it seemed on the surface.

Ji Zijian often thinks of the battle scene of the first city god, those black creatures that came out of the sea, and the legendary iron lion, nine times out of ten will be involved in the story of the flood control period.

Fei Yi said that Dayu once set a ban on water and land creatures, above the psychic realm, the creatures of the two worlds can not communicate with each other, so it is very likely that the water control at that time is on the one hand, on the other hand, the war eight wilderness, the flat in the four seas, I am afraid that it is also the creatures in the four seas!

Thinking of this, Ji Zijian couldn't help but boil with enthusiasm, the powerful Dayu and Houyi of the human race at that time were both first-order mortal bodies, and they surrendered to the four seas, so what kind of strength did they have?

"The Taiyi Sect is also too domineering, everyone worked hard, and finally created a hunting resource in this troubled world, and their family occupied all the results. ”

"Shhh

"With hairy ears, the resources belong to everyone, although the power of his Taiyi Sect is not small, but it is also within the scope of the Lion City, it will be September 9 soon, and at that time, sects from all over the country will send people to major places to recruit new blood. I heard that even the Wudang faction had to send people down the mountain. With Zhang Zhenren's strength, I don't think I'm necessarily afraid of his Taiyi Sect. "It was a big man with a big voice who spoke.

Looking at a large group of old men wearing short sleeves in the new era who are like children, and they are all words like "sect", Ji Zijian couldn't help laughing, after seeing the surprised eyes of the people around him, Ji Zijian was stunned, and hurriedly patted Li Xue on the side: "Daughter-in-law, I fucking said don't keep touching my waist, I'm afraid of itching, I just don't listen." ”

The people around looked at Li Xue and laughed. Ji Zijian was about to go crazy when he saw Li Xue, so he hurriedly leaned up and asked the big man: "Big brother, what you said about Zhang Zhenren, but Zhang Sanfeng?"

"Shh, the young man doesn't know how important he is, Zhang Zhenren is said to be a master of the Yin and Yang realm, as the saying goes, 'Divide yin and yang with bare hands, not afraid of ghosts and immortals,' the real person is already close to the living immortals, his name, how can I and other laymen call casually. ”

With the news about Zhang Zhenren, Li Xue stopped playing and listened attentively.

Ji Zijian pretended not to understand very much, and hurriedly nodded and said yes. I thought to myself, how come I have never heard such a saying, don't make it up yourself!

As for saying that he is not afraid of ghosts and immortals, he has even seen Zhang Sanfeng chased by bulls and horses, so he can only flee in red clothes in embarrassment. What's more, in the ghosts, there are even more powerful characters.

Although Feng Yi's divine character is unbearable, he is also a real ancient god, the Nine Stars and Moon Soul Envoy can even fight the ancient gods, the so-called Yin and Yang Realm is not afraid of ghosts, immortals and gods, but I am afraid that it is also a deception of ignorant children.

"Big brother, I'm sorry, the younger brother is shallow and said the wrong thing for a while. If you want to come to Zhang Zhenren, he won't bother with an ignorant person like me. I don't know how Zhang Zhenren's dignity is, has the eldest brother ever seen it?"

Around Ji Zijian, there was another burst of laughter.

"Haha, ignorant child, Zhang Zhenren divides yin and yang, Shenlong sees the head but not the tail, don't say I'm waiting, it's not easy for the mayor to meet him!"

The journey of three or four thousand meters ended soon, and Ji Zijian originally wanted to find out more news from the mouths of the people, but unfortunately after the boat arrived on the shore, everyone dispersed in a hurry, and Ji Zijian couldn't help but sigh that the two thousand yuan was really not worth it!

After getting off the boat and seeing the hawkers shouting and setting up stalls everywhere on the shore, as well as the bustling crowd, Ji Zijian swept away the loneliness in the deep mountains and old forests before, and sighed that people were really still social animals.

Except for the slight clutter and the fact that the area has expanded many times, the Lion City is no different from before. Stopped a taxi, and after getting in the car, Ji Zijian remembered that he was originally an outsider in the city, and the house he rented before had already collapsed, even if there was a 1 in 10,000 probability that it had not collapsed, in two years, the landlord had already rented the house to someone else.

"Master, let's go to find a hotel next to the Jibei Building in the city center first!"

"Brother, Jibei Mansion is in the center of the old district, nearly five or six hundred kilometers away from here, not a meter, a thousand yuan. ”

"Hey, what are you robbing the money?" Li Xue, who was sitting in the back, interjected.

"If you don't get off," the young driver stopped, slowly sliding forward, and pulled on the handbrake. He pouted very gentlemanly and added, "Thank you!"

"The old district, meaning the new city?" asked Ji Zijian.

"Brother, outsiders, the old district has collapsed in several earthquakes, and although there are still people living in it, everyone is moving to the new city in the east. According to the news, the sea level is rising, and within three or two years, the houses in the old area will become sea-view houses.

That being said, no one dares to invest in rebuilding there, and if it becomes the sea in the future, the real estate developer is afraid that it will cry into the sea. The young driver sighed for a long time, ignoring Ji Zijian, looking at Li Xue in the rearview mirror, this little brother who seemed to be hostile to the beauties who belonged to others, sarcastically said in a weird manner: "Beauty, do you sit or not, don't look at me making less money, now it's one hundred and eighty an hour, don't sit and don't occupy my place!"

"You...."

Seeing that Li Xue was about to lose his temper again, Ji Zijian hurriedly said sit down, planning to go to a hotel next to Jibei Mansion to live in before making plans.

Many deep cracks on the ground have not had time to fill, and even large cracks have come out of the groundwater, which has become a crooked river, and there are long thick wooden planks everywhere between the cracks.

Although the newly built road is not wider, the land is much wider than before, and the old and new cities have dispersed the crowds, so except for the first part of the ferry, there are fewer and fewer cars later, and there is a feeling of driving in the wilderness in a Hollywood movie.

I have long heard that there is no speed limit on highways in some Western countries, and Ji Zijian has only realized today that in a vast and sparsely populated place, the speed limit has no meaning at all!

"Xue'er, when you pay me back, I'll also buy a car and rent it! This feeling is good," Ji Zijian paused and added, "I earn a lot." ”

"Seeing the money, it's so vulgar!" Li Xue glanced at Ji Zijian.

"Hehe", the young driver's master glanced at Li Xue defiantly through the rearview mirror, and said exaggerated twice in his throat as if he had severe pharyngitis, the kind of irony that we are all ordinary people, and you alone are high and do not eat the fireworks of the world.

"Hmph. Li Xue snorted heavily, turned her head, and simply stopped talking.
