Chapter 362: Tuo'er River Seeks Disciples
"Senior Brother Li, that little demon was suppressed by the bridge by your spell, and he should get out now, right? I think Na Zehong will know our whereabouts soon. When he and Li Ge traveled all the way north to the end of the night, when they came to a small town, they were worried that Zehong would chase after Han Yan and asked.
"Yes, Senior Sister Hanyan, why don't we find a place to eat first, let's leave here overnight." After hearing this, Li Ge nodded in response. The two then walked down the street and walked into a restaurant on the side of the street.
When Li Ge and the others were worried that the little demon would report the news, they didn't know that at this time, the little demon had already turned into several plates of delicacies and placed them on the dining table of the family surnamed Wang, and was sent into his mouth with chopsticks and turned into a delicacy.
After a hurried meal, Li Ge and Hanyan hired a rocker in the town and headed for one of the cities on the route they had drawn up.
At this moment, Na Zehong has been looking for Li Ge and Hanyan's figures in the jungle and mountains on the other side of the river in Menghe Village, for nearly a day.
"Where did those two go? Could it be that they have already arrived at the Quling River and have been captured by Senior Brother Zehai?" On a road down the mountain overgrown with weeds, Ze Hong muttered to himself, and then moved his gaze to a loose river at the foot of the mountain, revealing a yin and evil loneliness. Then he quickened his pace and rushed towards the river at the foot of the mountain.
Came to the Quling River at the foot of the mountain, Zehong walked directly to the middle of the river by stepping on the river, and then raised the soles of his feet, and pointed at the river with a fierce kick, and then stood in the center of the river with his hands, as if waiting for people to stop moving.
On the surface of the river shrouded in night, the water flow was not fast, and after Zehong stood alone on the river and waited for about half a cup of tea, suddenly on the surface of the river not far from him, two figures emerged from the bottom of the river.
One of the two was Birch, who had been separated from Zehong this morning, and the other was a white-haired old man in a purple robe. After the two of them appeared from the bottom of the river, Bo Xi hurriedly bent over Zehong and saluted, and shouted respectfully, "I've seen Uncle Zehong." ”
"There is no need to be polite. Zehong waved his hand when he heard this, and then looked at the white-haired old man beside Bo Xi and asked, "Senior Brother Zehai, has the person I entrusted to be captured by you?"
"No, since I came to Bo Xi today, I have been keeping a close watch on the people who crossed the Quling River, but I have not found the person you are looking for. The old man named Zehai shook his head, and then asked, "Senior Brother Zehong, I take the liberty of asking you for my brother, do you have a good time with those two?"
"Senior Brother Zehai, you should know that I have a younger brother who lives in one of the branches of the Chu Wangjiang River. ”
"I know, that diversion is not too far from my Qu Ling River. Zehai nodded when he heard this, and then said with a puzzled expression, "Could it be that the person you are looking for killed your brother?"
"Yes, that's exactly the case, otherwise I wouldn't have done my best so hard to return to you, senior brother. Zehong replied with a sad face.
"Don't be sad junior brother, since the Taoist priest you said killed your brother, it is against our Qixiang Water Clan, Senior Brother Zehong, what are your plans next? If you can help your brother, you can just ask. Ze Hai heard Ze Hong's words and said indignantly.
"Thank you, senior brother, I have thanked you here. Hearing this, Ze Hong gave a thank you to his senior brother who was in charge of the waters of the Quling River, and then looked at the water under his feet with cold eyes and thought about it, before he said, "After I separated from my nephew and nephew in the Meng River in the morning, I went into the jungle on the other side of the river to look for the two people, but there was no trace of them, and senior brother, you also said that the two of them did not cross the Quling River, so I think they must have walked along both sides of the Meng River at that time." ”
"Well, that's the case, what do you have to say, junior brother?" Ze Hai asked after listening to Ze Hong's analysis.
"Senior brother said that he would like to help me, so I want to bother my brother to go back with me to the Meng River, where I separated from my nephew in the morning, and you search along the upper reaches of the river, and I search downstream. Zehong opened his mouth and said what was in his heart.
"Alright, without further ado, let's go now. Zehai responded to Zehong's request. Then the figures of the three demons drilled into the mountains next to the Quling River together.
Under the rush of the three demons, it only took an hour for the three demons to come to the river at the end of Menghe Village.
"Senior Brother Zehong, not far from the march along the Meng, there is a Tuoer River, and my brother is practicing penance in that river, I wonder if you have told my disciple about the person you are looking for?"
"Yesterday I already informed my nephew. Zehong nodded in response.
"Okay, junior brother, then we will separate here, I will search upstream, you search downstream, and I will also go to see my disciple by the way. Zehai said with a smile.
"Then there is Senior Brother Lao, little brother, I will leave it here. When Ze Hong heard this, he raised his hand and saluted, and after he finished it, he separated from Zehai's master and apprentice and went alone towards the lower reaches of the Meng River.
Looking at Ze Hong's departing back, Ze Hai shook his head with a light smile, and then said to the apprentice next to him, Bo Xi, "Bo Xi, you can go with your teacher to meet your junior brother." ”
"Okay Master, speaking of which, I haven't seen Senior Brother Bogui for two years, so I'm going to visit Senior Brother with Master today. Birch replied respectfully, and then walked with his division in the direction of the upper reaches of the river.
The road that Zehai's master and apprentice took to the upper reaches of the Meng River was the same road that Li Ge and Hanyan traveled during the day, and under the rush of this team of masters and apprentices, it didn't take long for them to come to the river where Li Ge used magic to suppress the fish demon during the day.
"Your junior brother has been practicing in this Tuoer River for nearly a hundred years, but his cultivation has never made much progress, and I don't know if my master has been negligent in teaching, or if that disciple has not practiced well at all. Standing by the river, Zehai sighed helplessly, and said, "Bogui's father and I exchanged lives, when his father died, he entrusted him to me, and I really can't bear to be too harsh on him for so many years." ”
"That's what Master said. After hearing this, Bo Xi, who was following Zehai, opened his mouth and agreed.
After standing on the edge of the Tuoer River and feeling it, Zehai walked directly to the Tuoer River, raised his foot and tapped it on the surface of the river a few times, and then waited with Bo Xi.
When the team of masters and apprentices waited for a cup of tea by the river, but did not see anyone coming, this could not help but make a trace of doubt appear on the faces of both masters and apprentices.
"Master, you wait here first, I'll go down to the river to find Senior Brother Bogui. Seeing that his junior brother did not show up, Bo Xi said with interest.
