(Reader exchange QQ group: 477523336, welcome to join)
The twilight clouds hang low, the night rain is like beans, the water of the Yellow River crosses the southeast of Yunzhou, the river water stands abruptly, churning like a dragon, reluctant to roar and rush day and night, and the sound of the waves almost wants to swallow all things.
Chang Su'e has a slender waist, the skirt is slightly damaged, and a pair of long legs are exposed, with a little mud on them, completely lost her bones, I think the fairy has never been so embarrassed in her life.
She struggled through the rain, her body soaked in the night rain, looking desolate and helpless. More than a dozen hours have already passed, and although the snake venom has not been completely eliminated at this time, it is still impossible to exert half of its internal strength, so it has to stand alone on the riverside, looking at the turbulent waves at a loss.
On weekdays, Chang Su'e jumped over the waters for several miles, and I am afraid that there is nothing in the world that can stop the fairy's way, but now she can only hope to meet a passenger ship by chance, but the corpse outside the city is strong, and the traces of people are extinct, so how can she come to the ferry? She knew that waiting was futile, and she only hated herself for the trickery of the villain, and she really shouldn't underestimate the nine gods of Yin and Yang Liao.
Zhutian Sect is located in the northwest of Yanzhou Gulan Peak, the Dongdai Palace and Lingxiao Palace in the sect are in constant conflict, Chang Su'e has been down the mountain for a long time, but he is afraid that it will change later, so he is eager to assassinate Princess Leping to the Dragon King Yuming, and crossing this river is the boundary of Yanzhou, so the Yellow River is not only a shortcut, but also an insurmountable gap.
At this anxious moment, he suddenly felt the sound of footsteps behind him, and his steps were so light that he was obviously a person with excellent light skills. Chang Su'e couldn't help but be stunned, her heart was not good, if the Yin Yang Liao and the Salt Gang took advantage of the weakness, but she couldn't lift half of her internal strength, where would there be room to fight back?
The fairy of the Moon Palace felt the sense of fear for the first time, and she looked back in amazement, only to see a slender figure walking out of the depths of the dense forest, standing not far away, indistinguishable between men and women under the dim starlight. This person has a white face and red lips, he looks extremely handsome, he is dressed in snow white**, even if he is wet by the rain, he is still spotless, it is none other than Zhao Li.
After he left Yunzhou, he went straight to the Xiang Yu Temple where he settled a few days ago, and could not find any trace of Lian'er and Qin Yue in the half-collapsed ancestral hall.
Zhao Li looked at Chang Su'e carefully, and saw that she had a blank look, and she was more than a round older than herself, but she was still delicate and beautiful, and her instruments were extraordinary, although it was not the first time for the two to meet, but Zhao Li was still deeply impressed by the beauty of the fairy, and she was worthy of being the first beauty in martial arts, and sighed that there would be such a beautiful woman in the world, so she arched her hand and said: "I admired the name of my predecessor for a long time in my later life, but I don't know that my predecessor is the Moon Palace Fairy of Zhutian Sect?"
"Do you even recognize this palace?" Chang Su'e spat out like a bead, her voice was soft and pleasant, with three points of surprise and seven points of majesty, and asked: "What kind of sect and sect are you, and what kind of people are you, and you are truthfully recruited!"
"Seniors can rest assured, late generations are friends and not enemies. Zhao Li's long hair was as black as ink, unintentionally setting off the charming luster around his neck, his words were modest, he looked very deferential, and said slowly: "Late Zhao Li, I had a relationship with my predecessors in the Liuli Pavilion, and your arrogant demeanor made my late life unforgettable, but in the chaos of the army, the seniors may not have noticed the existence of Zhao." ”
Chang Su'e showed displeasure on her face, she lived in the palace, she didn't know anything about the titles of the world's rivers and lakes, and said angrily: "Don't call me by my predecessors, where is there such an old man in this palace?"
"Forgive the late students for their clumsiness, the seniors are just talking about respect, not ironizing Long Zhong's old state, the fairy is extraordinary, not like a mortal woman, and he can't see that he is a person who is nearly thirty years old. "How did Zhao Li know that the fairy of the Moon Palace doesn't like others to boast about his beauty, but he attaches great importance to age, Zhao Li's words are undoubtedly touching the bottom line of the fairy.
Chang Su'e secretly thought that Zhao Li was ridiculing herself, but she was so angry that she said angrily: "The clumsy mouth of this palace can be regarded as having been taught, if it is on weekdays, I am afraid that you have already seen the king of Hades!" She wanted to speak and stopped, and said secretly in her heart: "I don't know what the purpose of this person is, I must not let him know that this palace is highly poisonous." ”
Chang Su'e's back was straight, as if there was infinite strength in her slender figure, and she continued: "Gossip, it's far away to the city here, what are you doing here?"
Zhao Li pointed to the sandalwood square card on his waist, his expression was very sincere, and explained: "Zhao is from Luoxiazhuang in Yanzhou, and he has been here all the way, just because the eldest lady was captured by the left archery army of the Jin Kingdom, and I was about to welcome reinforcements along the way. ”
"This palace sees that you are not weak, can you jump over this river alone?" Chang Su'e's cheeks were white and bright, and her majesty was full of flattery, and the goose nose and red lips were all hidden behind the veil, and she tried something with words, as if she intended to let Zhao Li take her to fly over this majestic "quagmire", but it was really difficult to export because of her identity and face.
Zhao Li looked at the vast river, only to hear the wind raging in his ears, and the chaos between heaven and earth, so he shook his head again and again: "This ...... There is no place to borrow power, I am afraid that Baizhang is already the limit, but Zhao may be able to give it a try, if he accidentally falls into the water halfway, he can also swim over. ”
Chang Su'e was disheartened, it seemed that she could only take a detour, she wanted to leave, suddenly heard a chuckle from the river, and couldn't help but look back, but saw a flat boat floating from a distance, the boat was lying full of corpses, the old man was holding an oar at the stern of the boat, with a shawl for his hair, and his whole body was red, which looked very weird.
He leaned over his body, stood on the pile of corpses with a normal expression, and laughed: "The old man has been carrying ghosts for more than 30 years, and some of the passengers are panting, and some of them have been able to breathe, this dead person is more than the living, but it is the first time I have heard that someone dares to swim across this river!"
The laughter was deafening, as if it were a wail from hell, and it flew through the wind, and the two of them shuddered to hear it.
From far to near, through the layers of rain curtains, it can be vaguely seen that this boat is a square frame made of ash wood, and tied with rattan in the transverse, dozens of yellow-brown transparent leather bags are tied under the wooden strips in turn, and it is a sheepskin raft with a foul smell.
The old man's hair is white, it should be the "raft ghost guest" in the rivers and lakes who carry the corpse in a boat, this is a livelihood on the cusp of the knife, and the corpse is from the same clan, during the war, the corpse is driven by land, the raft ghost by waterway, all of them risk death to send the corpse back to their homeland, in exchange for money and food, most of the people born when the moon is cloudy and cloudy day is born on this for a living.
The water of the Yellow River is pulsating, and those who make a living must be well versed in the art of floating and floating, and pay attention to a lot, can not say "broken, sinking, touching, not, broken" and other unlucky words, before traveling also to hang red, burn incense, and pay tribute, it is not surprising that the old man is dressed in red.
