Mighty rivers. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Kiyohara stood on top of the river, and the moist wind was blowing in his face.

This was originally where Li County was located and where Li City was located.

But now, there is no prosperous city, only a great river, which originates deep in the mountains, and washes away the original peaks, flooding all the cities.

His brow furrowed.

"What's going on?"

Qingyuan looked at the river in front of him, and subconsciously wanted to step over, but at this moment, he suddenly noticed that something was wrong, he turned his head to look, and saw an old man in the distance, holding an axe in his hand, with rough clothes, cutting trees by the river.

This old man is old, and he is already very old.

"Old sir. ”

As the old man was raising his axe, he heard such a voice in his ears, although it was clear and plain, but he could not help but be startled. He turned his head to look and saw a young man walking slowly not far away, and said with a smile: "The old man is chopping wood and cutting wood, and his body is really tough, I don't know how long the old man lives?"

When the old man saw that he had a handsome face and an outstanding temperament, he did not look like a vicious kind, so he lowered his guard a little and replied, "The old man is eighty years old this year. ”

Qingyuan smiled: "The old man is really long-lived. ”

"Gao Shou?" the old man shook his head and said, "If you are not born well, you will suffer in the world, and the longer you live, the longer you will suffer." The old man is about 80 years old this year, and he still has to go up the mountain to collect firewood, and he must not rest every day, otherwise the fire at home will be stopped for one day. Taking a step back, if the old man can't work, then he will live to this day, old and useless, and he can only let his family add more rice and food every day. Now the old man goes up the mountain to fetch firewood, not because his body is hard, but because he wants to let himself eat a mouthful of rice, which is not in vain. ”

Qing Yuan didn't think about this sentence, which led to so many thoughts of this old man.

I think that this old man often thinks like this on weekdays.

"The old man thinks too much, and if there is an old man in the family, it is a treasure. Qingyuan laughed and said: "You have children and daughters, only then can you have descendants, their lives are still given by the old people, these descendants should be filial to you, otherwise, how can you be a family?"

The old man shook his head slightly, did not reply, and instead asked, "You young man, are you an outsider?"

"The old gentleman is discerning. Qingyuan did not deny it, but said: "I traveled here in my early years, lived in Li County for a period of time, and then left, this time I came back, and I intend to revisit the old place, I didn't think, how did this huge town turn into a river now?"

"I see......"

When the old man heard this, he sighed and said, "This Li County was flooded by a flood a few years ago, about two years ago. It is said that the flood was so great that it even broke through the mountains, washed through the mountains, and rushed in, and everyone in the whole city of Li was not spared, the walls broke through, the houses collapsed, and then they all sank to the bottom of the water. ”

The old man pointed to the front and said, "It should be in that position, I heard that the bottom of the water is very deep, and occasionally there are people with good water quality, and I have also seen the city under the water." However, the river is too urgent, and the people who dive into the water will not be able to come back nine times out of ten, especially since this year, almost no one dares to go into the water, it is said that a monster is born, even on the edge of the river, no one dares to come. ”

As he spoke, the old man smiled a little and said, "But it is precisely because of this that the grass and trees are prosperous, and there is no one to fight for, and the old man has lived a long life, and he is not afraid of death, so he just came here to chop wood." ”

Qingyuan frowned slightly and said, "Da Shui?"

"yes, big water. The old man shook his head and said, "After all, it is Tianwei, not manpower. ”

As he spoke, the old man seemed to have a strange look, looked at Qingyuan, and said, "You young man, don't you want to explore?"

Kiyohara smiled: "I don't have these thoughts. ”

"It's good if there isn't, not to mention whether the monster under the water is real, the flood alone is strange. ”

"How weird?"

"The mountains have collapsed, isn't it weird?"

The old man showed a look of "young man, little knowledge" on his face, and said: "It is rumored that the people of this Li County have committed the power of heaven, so they were destroyed by the immortals in the sky and cast a spell with great water. ”

Qingyuan's eyebrows froze, and his pupils shrank slightly.

The old man said this, but the old man himself was also skeptical, but the principle of clarity is to know, and it may not be impossible to do so.

If it is really a person who is profound, it is not difficult to perform Taoism, send out a flood, and destroy this Li County. It's just that those who really have this kind of ability, the Tao is bound to be extremely profound, and now the immortals are not allowed to enter the world, then they are real people, and they are ordinary people in the real human realm, and they can't reach such a state, but I'm afraid that they are still immortals in the world.

"When the immortals of the world, they move their whole bodies with a single hair, and they are watched by all parties, especially the righteous path, and they are extremely concerned, and it stands to reason that it should not be a master who casts a spell. Besides, killing countless living beings, although this backlash will not be fatal to the people of the Semi-Immortal Realm, it is not pleasant. ”

Although it is indeed possible that the big man did it, Qingyuan thinks that it is a flood between heaven and earth and nature, so it may be more credible.

Kiyohara was silent there, thinking for a long time.

The old man sighed: "It's a good Li County, it's ruined like this, maybe there are some acquaintances of you, but it's okay to mourn." People will always die, old and old, and they are also ......"

The old man took the axe, walked forward slowly, and suddenly said, "Young man, you better go back." ”

Qingyuan said: "With more kindness from the old gentleman, the younger generation still wants to look around." ”

The old man answered, and then advised: "I heard that there are monsters in the water, although the old man has not seen them with his own eyes, but it is often said that it is rumored that almost all the people who go into the water are eaten by monsters, you should be careful." ”

Qingyuan nodded slightly, and then said, "More old gentlemen tell me, and the juniors will pay more attention." ”

The old man nodded, and walked forward, as if there was some hesitation as to whether he should continue to persuade the young man, lest something happen. But when you think about it, what should be said has already been said, and it is useless to say more.

The old man shook his head, and walked forward, and after walking less than half a mile, he felt a little tired, so he sat down, put the firewood aside, and then saw that there was a thing on the firewood branch, which was a money bag.

The old man looked surprised, opened the money bag, and there was a lot of gold inside.

"What?"

The old man was slightly dumbfounded, for the rich and noble, a dish is a few dozen taels, and a pot of wine is a hundred taels of silver.

But similar to these ordinary poor families, even one or two pieces of silver can make this family, in ten days and a half months, eat and drink without worry, which can be regarded as a great fortune. Now there are ten taels of gold in the money bag, and on the side of Shu, it can be exchanged for a hundred taels of silver, which is the firewood that he will fight for decades, and he can't earn it.

"Could it be that the young man's money bag was hooked by my firewood?"

With such a large sum of money, he didn't know how anxious he was. ”

The old man hurriedly put away the money bag, picked up the firewood, and hurried to the river.

He was old, walking slowly, still wheezing, and this time he ran past, and it didn't take long for him to sweat profusely and ache all over.

But he didn't stop, he just ran forward.

Seeing that the river in front of me is in front of me, the sound of the river is rushing.

And the boy was on the river's edge.

"Childe stays. ”

The old man shouted, "Your money bag ......"

At that moment, his voice stopped abruptly.

His old eyes were dizzy, and he didn't see clearly, but at this time he finally saw the scene ahead.

The boy was not on the river, but on the river.

The water rushed under his feet and stood on the water as if it were on the ground.

"The old man is polite. ”

Qingyuan turned around slightly and said with a smile: "This is an external object, so it can be regarded as a thank you for the kindness of the old man." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and walked slowly towards the other side of the river.

The river was surging, and he tread on the water.

The old man stood by the river and stayed for a long time before he whispered, "Immortals?" )
