Chapter Seventy-Two: The Light of the River of Tears

After a day of arduous trekking, through the last forest, Qiu Xin and his party finally arrived at the River of Tears.

The scene in front of him shocked Qiu Xin again, he originally thought that the River of Tears was just the boundary between the two states, and it would not be too wide, but at this time, he couldn't see the opposite bank, and could only vaguely see the mountains stretching on the opposite side.

The whole river of tears moves with the wind, it looks very majestic in the sunset, the snow-white crystal waves reflect the golden scale of the water, it is difficult to remind people of the legend about the river of tears, whose tears can become a river, for a time everyone stays in place, even the horses are quiet, the light of the river of tears, can reach the sky.

Although Shi Weihu and several darts have walked this road a few times, they are still full of praise for this situation, as long as they come to this Kui Hail Two Prefectures, they must have witnessed the light of the River of Tears, it is worth the trip, and the Phantom Moon Sect is in the Yingbo Mountain on the other side of the river.

After the exclamation, Daohachi beckoned everyone to unload their horses, set up camp here, and wait until tomorrow morning, and then cross the river, but what puzzled Qiu Xin was that these people did not bring things such as boats and rafts that could be used to cross the river, but how to cross the river.

When everything was cleaned up, Shi Weihu explained to Qiu Xin that the Tears River was wide, and the Phantom Moon Sect must have access to the river if it wants to govern the two states, relying on the woodcutters and ferrymen on both sides of the river, and not far away, it is these people who have settled in the village.

It is extremely dangerous to dart, so naturally I will not go to the village to spend the night, but it is safer to sleep by the river.

The cool breeze blew the water vapor wave after wave to the shore, blowing the sound of the woods on the shore, Qiu Xin felt that it was still a little early, so he wanted to go to the forest to grab some food, the dry food brought by these dart masters was really unpalatable.

I don't know if it's because it's by the river, or because it's in the forest, it's not as hot as when he travels during the day, but it's very refreshing, but when he walks into the woods again, he feels that the atmosphere is a little wrong, the original birdsong and beast roar are gone, and Qiu Xin took a lot of effort to catch two wild storks.

Qiu Xin felt that the sky was getting darker and darker, although the harvest was not much, but it was enough to feed his stomach, and it was good to return to the river earlier, he always felt that something was wrong, thinking like this, Qiu Xin did not slow down under his feet, and walked out of the woods quickly.

Nothing happened, it seemed to be just a false alarm, since experiencing the grotto and the pothole, Qiu Xin felt that he was becoming more and more suspicious, and now he could only laugh at himself, and walked to Shi Weihu and sat down.

And Shi Weihu was wondering where Qiu Xin went, and when he saw the wild stork in Qiu Xin's hand, his face was happy, and before Qiu Xin could speak, he went to the woods to pick up a branch and light a fire, and at this time, Qiu Xin also washed and peeled it and put it on the shelf to roast.

Although the sky has completely darkened, there is no sunset reflection, the light of the River of Tears has not faded, illuminating both sides of the river, like day, if you look at it from a distance, like a white ribbon, draped between the two states, it is so wonderful.

Qiu Xin turned the wild stork in his hand while looking at the scene in the river.

Tears flowed across the mountains, and the river waves shone like the moon.

As the time for roasting wild storks became longer and longer, the fragrance also came out, scattered in the wind, watching everyone swallow a mouthful of saliva, Qiu Xin could only smile embarrassedly, now that the monks have more meat and less meat, I am afraid it will not be their turn.

Qiu Xin gave the roasted wild stork in his hand to the four darts respectively, and he only had a little left, and Shan Sanniang, who was very unwelcome to the team Qiu Xin on weekdays, said thank you for the first time, which made Qiu Xin feel that he really had a short mouth and a short hand.

On Qingsang Mountain, due to Xiaobai and Master's greed, this barbecue is Qiu Xin's best thing, and even the gluttony in the Yin Cave is addicted, Shi Weihu and these people are needless to say, after eating it, they applauded again and again, saying that they would be roasted in Qiu Xin to eat in Yuecheng.

Qiu Xin agreed noncommittally, "You have to eat all the delicacies of the mountains and seas, do you still care about these wild foods in the hands of the younger brother?" Everyone laughed for a while, and the sleepy atmosphere during the day was also a lot more lively because of the dart two.

At this time, Daopachi said, "Although we have arrived at the edge of the River of Tears today, and we are not far from the location of the Phantom Moon Sect, we still can't slack off, and the order of today's guards is reversed from yesterday's. ”

Qiu Xin thought carefully about yesterday's order, and only then did he understand why Su Ke would designate Daoba as the leader of this dart, not as he thought at the beginning, because Daoba was worshiped by his own family, so he was asked to take on this great responsibility, but because Daoba acted very carefully.

Yesterday, in addition to putting himself in the first position, which is the most sober and relaxed position for people, he also put Shan Sanniang in the last place, also because after a night's rest, it was relatively much easier to take care of the female dependents, but on the other hand, Daoba himself chose the most sleepy middle position.

Today is the order of yesterday reversed, the most relaxed is Qiu Xin and Shan Sanniang, which makes Qiu Xin's view of this person change greatly, although this person accompanies Su Ke to run rampant on the street, but with this sentry arrangement, it can be seen that this person acts steadily.

There was no objection, and Qiu Xin also chose a place to sleep next to the carriage.

The sound of waves crashing on the banks of the river is long-lasting, like playing a beautiful piece of music, inspiring people to sleep and calming passers-by.

.........

In the middle of the night, there was a loud cannon shot, followed by the sharp neighing of horses, Qiu Xin had already woken up, he always felt strange today, whether it was to catch wild storks or talk to everyone later, he kept looking around, but still nothing happened.

This kind of oppressive feeling he had only encountered in the cave of yin separation, as if the sleeping beast was about to wake up, so that he didn't dare to sleep, and Dao Hachi seemed to feel it, and kept squinting his eyes and looking around.

Just now, Shan Sanniang, who had been guarding the sentry, sounded the cannon, indicating that there was a situation, and these experienced dart masters also stood up together, Dao Baxian signaled everyone to silence, and then walked slowly and leisurely with Shi Weihu to the sentry post in the forest.

"Run! It's a group of ghost-eyed silkworms!" At this time, there was an anxious figure of Shan Sanniang, and then, Shan Sanniang was dressed in black, galloping out of the forest, and a group of dart masters changed color in unison, dropped the carriage, and pulled the horses to leave here.

Qiu Xinzheng felt a little strange, and then there was a constant noise in his ears, as if the sound of dragonflies flapping their wings, these dart masters showed a desperate look on their faces, and soon, after Shan Sanniang rushed out of the woods for just a few breaths, dense, and unknown things occupied the entire sky.

If you don't have that pair of gray wings, it really looks like a silkworm, but the difference is that this kind of thing has two sharp teeth in its mouth, which opens and closes, which is very terrifying, and it must be the ghost-eyed silkworm in Shan Sanniang's mouth.

At this time, no one dared to run away, but except for the four dart heads, the other dart masters all trembled with their legs, Qiu Xin's face was also gloomy, and Shi Weihu next to Qiu Xin said, "Brother Qiu, run away when you find an opportunity, don't care about these darts, if you can run away from one, you can run away." ”

"Brother Shi, are these things scary?"

"It's terrible, in the past, in the two states of the Southern Wilderness, there was a sect called the Five Spirits Sect, which specialized in the study of this kind of murderous thing, and was famous for the five spirits in the sect, namely, Caikui Snake, Ghost Eye Silkworm, Money Bee, Nine-toothed Fede, Giant Tail Lizard, although it is called the Five Spirits, but it is the world's deadly poison. As he spoke, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, a pair of tiger eyes, staring closely at the ghost-eyed silkworm.

Seeing that these things didn't move, Shi Weihu continued, "Originally, this sect became the largest sect in the Southern Wilderness because of these five poisons, but the destiny of heaven was clear, and the disciples in the sect were instead eaten by these five poisons, and these poisons in captivity also escaped to harm the world. ”

"The dart walker walks the world, this poison should be understood the most, I have been walking darts for more than ten years, and I have never encountered it, I can't think of you with Brother Qiu, I will encounter it once, I am really lucky. ”

At the juncture of life and death, Shi Weihu still had the heart to joke, such a big heart, which made Qiu Xin admire, but the time of a stick of incense passed, these ghost-eyed silkworms just floated in the air, and they didn't want to attack, everyone looked at each other, and the knife eight shouted, "Run." ”

At this juncture of escaping, naturally no one will be slow, but at this moment, the mutation is abrupt, and a long and moving piece of music comes, and these ghost-eyed silkworms emit a faint green light in their eyes, like a small lamp, just like the wall of fireflies that Qiu Xin saw in the hole in the shadows, competing with the light of the river of tears.

But the previous scene shocked everyone, listening to the sound of this music, these ghost-eyed silkworms are still being manipulated and kept in captivity, so it must not be an unconscious attack, and it is too late to think about who wants to rob the dart of the Double Nine Dart Game, and the speed of everyone's feet is getting faster and faster.

But these ghost-eyed silkworms were faster, and soon caught up with everyone, and the slowest dart master screamed, and he was buried in the silkworm group, Qiu Xin looked back when he heard the sound, his face turned pale, and he saw that the dart master only needed a few breaths, and there were no bones, and there was really no clothes left.

The dart master on the side was so frightened that he couldn't even speak, and he didn't dare to look at it, so he ran into the distance, and the screams rang out, and the look of regret on Daoba's face appeared, but he had no choice, and while carrying the light gong and flying backwards, he said loudly, "I have no grudge against Your Excellency in the past, and there is no enmity in the near future, do you really want to kill them all?"

At this time, the sound of the song finally stopped, and a voice that was difficult to distinguish between true and false came, "You Shuangjiu Dart Game has not offended me, but you have what I want, hand it over, spare you from death." ”

Dao Hachi arched his hand in the direction of Lin Zhong and said, "Your Excellency, all the dart goods on this trip are on three carriages, and your Excellency wants to take them." ”

At this time, the sound of the ghost-eyed silkworm flapping its wings became louder and louder, and in the direction of the woods, a large group of ghost-eyed silkworms actually flew together, surrounded by a gray figure flying out of it, slowly floating towards everyone.

The cold voice sounded again, "Do you think I am rare for your fine iron?"
