Chapter 1289 The Road to Heaven (3) King Xuanwu's depression
Zhang Fan walked all the way forward and walked on the road to heaven.
Since leaving the violent ape who suddenly showed a sentimental side, he has traveled all the way, but it has been very smooth, and the style of the fairy world is indeed intoxicating.
As soon as he came to the bank of a great rushing river, he stopped and watched the boiling water rush into the sea.
Such a big river, even in Kyushu in the world, Zhang Fan has never seen the second one, the river is wide and long, and it shakes slightly, which is tantamount to a monstrous wave.
The light sails of the leafy boats sailed through the river, undulating in a flash, making people wonder if they would capsize in the blink of an eye.
Even so, looking at the riverside, you can still see many fishing boats fishing for fish and turtles not far from the river bank, and the trumpets shouting far away, which is very lively.
Not far from the great river, there is a thriving town.
The town is backed by the mountains and has countless mountain treasures, facing the big river and the water is inexhaustible, since ancient times, such a geography, are a good place to thrive, and there are hundreds of thousands of people in that town, which is comparable to some large cities.
Although the river is magnificent, even if the town is prosperous, it is not enough for Zhang Fan to stop, but inexplicably, when he came here, Zhang Fan felt in his heart, as if there was something waiting for him in front of him.
This thought was born, Zhang Fan naturally would not miss it, a flying longitudinal, turning into a rainbow and crossing the river.
Such an act would have been easy for him, but it would have been impossible for the people living in the towns on the other side of the river.
Even a thousand boats are not enough to cross this great river, so the other side of the river is already another world for them.
As soon as he came to the outside of the town, Zhang Fan felt that a noisy red dust was coming, and as far as the eye could see, there were people coming and going, and the prosperity of the town was beyond Zhang Fan's imagination.
Stepping into it, but seeing the crowd one after another, both sides are set up stalls and selling people, the things sold are not mountain delicacies or aquatic products, this is still the fishing boats in the big river, it is still the time for fishing, otherwise it will be more lively to think about it.
Stop doing it, Zhang Fan walked all the way, immersed in this red world, a cold heart was almost warmed, I don't know the passage of time, and the crowd is noisy.
After a long time, he walked to the outside of a mountain temple, and Huo Di stopped.
It is common to worship the mountain god by the mountain, and to worship the dragon king near the sea, but in this mountain temple, it is a little different.
The mountain temple building can be called magnificent, the beams and pillars are all hugged by several people, not built of wood, but built of solid bluestone.
This mountain temple alone, if it is built by ordinary people, it is really tantamount to a miracle, I am afraid that it will be possible to achieve it after a hundred years of time and millions of corpses are laid out.
In such a magnificent mountain temple, the decoration is very simple, there is no mountain god, nor has the dragon king been molded, only a huge stone turtle, lying in the middle of the magnificent temple, enjoying the incense of the people.
But where there is a temple where the incense is prosperous, there is a market outside, and this is no exception, it is a market, most of which supplies some things such as sesame oil that is needed to pray for the blessing of the mountain god and the sea king, and naturally there are also people who set up stalls to tell fortunes.
It's strange to say, this is a good place to set up a stall to tell fortunes, and there are countless charlatans who make a living from it, but Zhang Fan looked at it at a glance, but he only saw a stall placed alone.
This fortune-telling booth doesn't seem to be anything special, and the fortune teller sitting on the stall also looks old, with a fine light flashing in his eyes from time to time, quite a bit of fairy wind and bones.
Around this person, there was already a circle of pilgrims, obviously doing good business, and they were a little too busy.
Suddenly, a man's anxious voice came from behind Zhang Fan.
"Let let, let let, please borrow a light, I have something urgent to find a half-immortal. ”
When this voice came, Zhang Fan sketched a big man with an anxious face in his mind, and hurriedly ran over, he turned sideways slightly, and let this person over.
The folk customs here do not seem to be evil, looking at the appearance of the intersection of the big and the Han, those who are waiting for the fortune teller all get out of the way, and there is a good joke and do not forget to ridicule two sentences: "How many fish did Cheng Yicha make up today, is it a net of the descendants of the river god to ask for a half-immortal to count a hexagram" and so on.
This Cheng Yicha is also good-tempered, although he was sweating profusely and had no intention of chatting, he still gave his hands one by one, and then squeezed in front of the fortune teller, panting and said: "Half ~ half immortal, my family ......"
Before he finished speaking, he saw the fortune teller wave his hand to stop, threw out a few quaint copper coins, glanced at them, and comforted: "Don't worry, your daughter-in-law is fine." ”
"Ah~"
Cheng Yicha was taken aback, and said secretly in his heart: "I haven't said what I want to ask, this old man can say that he is not far from ten, he is really a half-immortal~"
At the same time, I couldn't help but secretly regret that I had never listened to the old man's words, and I came to count a hexagram more to seek peace.
"That'...... That...... What about the kids?"
Cheng Yi's breath was not even in a good breath, and he couldn't be surprised, so he hurriedly asked about the worries in his heart.
"It's okay, mother and child are safe, when you get home, you can see the child. ”
The fortune teller slowly put away the copper coin and said without raising his head.
It is this attitude that makes people have no doubt about his means, that Cheng Yicha was overjoyed, and he did not consult men and women, anyway, as long as the mother-in-law and children are safe, it is enough, and he bowed down and thanked him without mentioning it.
He had something on his mind, thinking about his wife, who was in labor, and he was about to leave after thanking him.
At this moment, the crowd behind suddenly twitched, and the voice of a half-grown child came: "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law...... Sister Sister Sister ......"
"How's your sister?"
That Cheng Yicha was suddenly startled, and pulled out a teenage child from the crowd, and asked with a shaking.
"Gave birth...... Gave birth to ...... Mother and child are safe. ”
The half-grown child learned to say in the tone of a stable woman, and then handed a fish basket to Cheng Yicha's hand, complaining: "Brother-in-law, you ran too fast, the second child next door just went to look for you, and my sister gave birth, I am afraid that brother-in-law, you are in a hurry to let me come to report the news, but I ran four streets with my brother-in-law's fish basket......"
Cheng Yicha was in the mood to listen to his half-grown child's noise at this time, and subconsciously took the fish basket and was about to rush home, but he suddenly reacted after running for two steps, patted his head and turned back, stuffed the fish basket to the fortune teller, and said gratefully: "Thank you, sir, I don't have any preparations, this point Hexian will honor Mr." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't wait for the fortune teller to respond, he dragged half of the children and ran home.
"Hey...... You ......"
The fortune teller carried the fish basket and greeted him, and when he saw that the man had run away, his face was a little wrong. After hesitating for a moment, he reached into the fish basket, and when he brought it out again, a turtle was held by a hemp rope, one end was held in his hand, and the other end was still in the fish basket, and it was roughly estimated that there were more than a dozen.
For a while, the fortune teller's expression was indescribably strange, and he couldn't laugh or cry.
Zhang Fan looked at it from beginning to end, and only when the fortune teller threw out the copper coin and said the hexagram, his expression changed slightly, and he immediately watched with a smile on his face until this time.
Just when the fortune teller was full of strange expressions, Zhang Fan also shook his head and smiled.
"That's it~"
The fortune teller suddenly became excited, threw the turtle into the fish basket, and ignored the bits and pieces on the stall, and walked straight to the outside of the town.
As he walked, he sang:
"Fortune is the zenith of heaven, I am innocent of what I say, right and wrong are based on a hexagram, I don't know ...... heart of heaven"
"How can the iron mouth be broken, a thought changes in all ways, the time comes and the number of lives is impermanent, and the will of heaven is like a knife, it is better to go back to fishing, and a cloud of smoke and rain will ...... life"
The figure gradually disappeared, the singing stopped, and the crowd dispersed, still transmitting that the half-fairy words were all in the middle, and the hexagram was strangely accurate.
No one noticed that at some point, the man in Xuanyi, who had been watching the situation, also disappeared without a trace.
...... The fortune teller did not stop this time, and he was also very familiar with the road to the left, but in a few moments, he was already out of the town and on the banks of the surging river.
Facing this big river, seeing the fishing boat docking, he suddenly sighed, tilted the fish basket into the river, the hemp rope broke itself, and the fish and turtle entered the water and escaped directly.
"Go, go, don't be caught again, I won't be able to save you. ”
The fortune teller was muttering to himself, when a clear voice came from behind him: "King Xuanwu, you are really a tyrannical thing, a good fish and turtle, just under wine, you don't want to eat, why don't you treat the guests with it?" ”
This voice was in his ears, fortune teller, no, King Xuanwu immediately shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said: "Donghuang, don't be joking, the old turtle doesn't believe that with Donghuang's eyesight, he can't see it." ”
"Hahaha~~"
Zhang Fan laughed and stepped out, juxtaposing with King Xuanwu, overlooking the river.
At this time, King Xuanwu still maintained the posture of squatting on the bank of the big river, looking at the surging river, and saw that the more than ten soft-shelled turtles were scattered and swimming, until they were no longer visible, he slowly got up, and smiled at Zhang Fan: "Donghuang, you are really unkind, you want to eat my old turtle and my descendants?
"T's not kind. ”
Zhang Fan smiled and said nothing, it was just a joke, but it couldn't be taken seriously, but when the Xuanwu King received a group of descendants who were tied with hemp rope, that expression Even if he thought about it at this time, Zhang Fan couldn't help but be surprised.
King Xuanwu looked at the big river in front of him and said with feelings: "Donghuang Daoyou, do you know where this river came from?"
"Didn't you notice that the aura on this river is particularly rich?"
The smile on Zhang Fan's face gradually retracted, looking at the lingering water vapor on this big river, thoughtful.
King Xuanwu smiled at him, and then said with emotion: "Tens of thousands of years ago, there were no big rivers, no towns, and no people here, but it was just a barren land. ”
"Once, the old turtle and the peacock went to the Central Immortal Realm ......"
