Chapter 203 [A Great River, Wide Waves]
In fact, not everyone in this autumn water town does not sleep. Shiraishi and Ryu Yinyue are such people.
In other words, the person who can sleep peacefully in this autumn water town is the person who cultivates to the sub-void period.
This night, before Bai Shi went to sleep, he subconsciously spread out a trace of cultivation power. So that those who want to sneak attack when others are asleep will retreat one by one.
So they slept peacefully.
In the early morning of the next day, the white mist surrounded the mountains, and some drifted to this Qiushui Town with the wind, which made the early morning Qiushui Town, there were bursts of chill.
Shiraishi pushed open the window and stretched, his muscles and bones creaking, revealing a sense of comfort. So after washing up, he walked out of the room.
In the early morning, Qiushui Town is not lively at night, and there are few pedestrians on the street, like an abandoned town.
It wasn't until noon that the number of people gradually increased, and after breakfast, Shiraishi had been meditating cross-legged in his room, closing his eyes and recuperating. Until this moment, Long Yinyue knocked on his door.
For Shiraishi, who had no experience on the second day, Ryu Yinyue became his mentor. After walking out of the room, they had lunch with Long Yinyue, and they walked to the most prosperous part of the town.
The second day of passage is about to open, and they need to be fully prepared before entering the second day. It's not about saving a lot of money, it's about using it to buy something. Because they have already decided in their hearts, they are going to be tested, to go to the ancient tower of the desolation, to find the so-called token. So, when they went to the Ancient Tower, they had to buy some armor for defense, which was not expensive in this autumn water town, but could withstand a deadly attack.
But these armors are only useful to the beasts in the ancient tower. The claws that can be used to protect against them will not work at all for a monk who has cultivated to be strong.
The strange beasts inside are good at sneak attacks, and often give you surprise attacks when you are distracted.
In fact, Shiraishi was not worried about the strange beasts inside, because he had a killer feature, he had a white fox, and all the strange beasts hid away from the white fox after seeing it, so he didn't buy defensive armor. Again. It can be said that any defensive armor in this autumn water town is not as strong as the golden armor in his body, that is...... Armor of Chaos!
But Long Yinyue had a purchase, and he knew that after entering the Honghuang Ancient Tower, he would be separated from the white stone, so he spent two hundred crystal coins, enough to buy a pair of armor, and then took the white stone with him. Walk to the outside of Autumnwater.
The gate of passage on the second day was still thirty miles away from this Qiushui Town. But thirty miles is only a blink of an eye for Baishi, but this is limited to ordinary times. Because the distance from this autumn water town to the passage of the next day is not to use flying magic. So they had to choose to walk, and they had to get there before the door of the passage opened.
When I came out of Autumnwater Town. Shiraishi deliberately bought a mask to wear on his face, he didn't want to be famous. At this moment, except for Long Yinyue who knew that he was Baishi, almost no one could recognize him.
Along. Many monks were hurrying to the second pass. Because of the departure of this wave of monks, the town of Autumn Water has become quiet, except for those who are stationed in the town of Autumn Water and the few monks on the street, there is basically no one to see.
After leaving Qiushui Town, there is a continuous mountain. If it is morning, this mountain must be willing, because of the white mist, and there will be no visible outcrop of progress, and it is easy to get lost. But it was noon, and the white fog had lifted. Therefore, before dark, we must cross this mountain and reach the great river that Long Yinyue said in his mouth.
A large river with wide waves. The wind blows the rice flowers, on both sides of the river.
At night, when the stars were shining, Shiraishi saw this big river, the river was very wide, and there were countless straws swaying with the evening breeze on the bank, and there were bursts of rice fragrance. There were many people standing on the shore, and many small boats were stopped, and on each small boat stood a man wearing a hat.
There are so many boats, like the straw on the shore, that at a glance, there is no boundary.
The river is very clear, and there are stars in the river, like the fireflies immersed in the river, and the faint light of the spars. When people look at it, they can't help but feel the urge to reach out and touch it.
Through these slowly wriggling white lights, Shiraishi could tell that the river was flowing, and in fact the water was surging, but because of the wide surface of the river, it eased the rhythm of their surge. Even so, you can still hear the murmuring of the river. Shiraishi couldn't believe how the people on these boats had sailed through the rushing waters.
The river is almost unimaginably wide, and when you look at it, it is as if it is connected to the sky, and you can't see the edge. It's not so much a river as a sea, a boundless, vast sea.
Long Yinyue told Baishi that the people on these boats are all sailors, and they are so good at water that they can rescue you from this turbulent river without much effort, so naturally there is no need to worry that these boats will capsize in the river.
It took a day and a night to sail to the other side of the river, so everyone who boarded the boat had to pay a hundred spars. It doesn't matter the weight, the height, the age. And a small boat, which can only row a boat, can only carry four people. Therefore, after these monks passed, they still had at least a hundred crystal coins on their bodies, so that they could return again when they failed.
Some of the boats had already cleared the surging water and headed for the other side of the river.
Shiraishi and Long Yinyue walked on the boat closest to him, and on top of the boat was an old man wearing a hat, after the old man saw Shiraishi and Long Yinyue walking up. Showing a smile, he said, "Wait a minute, the two guest officers are waiting for one person, and we can set off." The old man said, showing respect.
Having worked here for countless years, he is strange and has been seen by all kinds of people. So he didn't feel the slightest curiosity about Baishi wearing a mask, but took out two cups of tea from the boat and handed them to Long Yinyue and Baishi.
The old man's face was full of wrinkles, and even his eyes were sunken, but his eyes flashed with agility, and if he could see through the night, he looked into the distance, and looked at the path of the mountain to the river.
This person does not seem to be treacherous and cunning, but rather amiable. Shiraishi thought that at such an age, he still had to run around here day and night, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Gradually, the boats on the shore had been rowed away, leaving this small boat alone, so that Bai Shi and Long Yinyue were not in the mood to watch the night scene at this moment, but looked into the distance, waiting for the arrival of that person.
Compared to Shiraishi, Long Yinyue's expression was more flat, he remembered this old man, and he knew the speed of this old man's rowing. Last time he was in this small boat, in the same condition, with the same people, and the same boat.
He knew that the old man was sure enough to reach the other side of the river before the passage was opened the next day.
The old man withdrew his gaze from a distance, sat down slowly, sighed lightly, looked at Long Yinyue, and said, "I remember you, you were also on my boat last time. ”
Long Yinyue smiled and said, "Yes, so I don't have to worry, the boat hasn't reached the shore before the passage opens the next day." ”
The old man smiled and said, "The business of these people is not good, there are more and more boats on the shore, but there are fewer and fewer monks, and when we carried monks over in the past, there were still many monks who could not get to the other side. But now, we're waiting. ”
Hearing this, Bai Shi was curious that the old man's family had gone there, but he didn't say anything directly, in the dark, when he looked at the back of the old man, he felt a little sad and vicissitudes.
"Well, let's wait a little longer, if no one else comes, I'll charge you twenty less crystals, what do you think?"
The old man said, looking at Long Yinyue.
Long Yinyue knew that it was really not easy for a person of this age to work so hard, so she immediately smiled and said, "It's okay, it's as much as it should be, wait slowly, we are not in a hurry." ”
Facing Long Yinyue's words, the old man thanked him gratefully, and then stood up, walked to the other end of the boat, propped up a wooden pole, and then scraped an oil lamp on it. "The night is getting late, and the vision is getting blurred. In the middle of the night, there will be a white mist on the surface of the river, and there will be no oil lamps, so I am afraid of getting lost. ”
As he spoke, the old man set up tents on both sides of the boat, connected them to both sides of the boat, and then propped them up, and continued: "The night is cold, presumably you didn't sleep well in that Qiushui Town, and after the boat rows away, you can sleep here in peace, rest assured, no one will disturb you here." ”
After speaking, the old man breathed a long sigh of relief, sat up as if with great effort, and when he looked into the distance, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Someone is coming." ”
As the old man's words fell, Bai Shi and Long Yinyue cast their eyes into the distance, and at this moment they saw a vague figure, running and waving, still shouting, although they couldn't hear the sound clearly, but they could tell that this person should be shouting and so on.
As the person ran closer and closer, Shiraishi also saw the bookshelf he was carrying on his back, as well as the scroll in his hand, which should be a scholar. When he ran to the front of the boat, he bent his head and panted and said, "It's good to catch up." xiexie,xiexie!”
Seeing this person, Bai Shi and Long Yinyue both subconsciously glanced at each other, what they saw at the moment was the person who painted on the stone bridge yesterday. (To be continued......)
