Shaqiu River is interrupted with three bends.
The reed sways, the water is sparkling, the bamboo pole paddles, and the boatman sings.
The wood beside the dock is a small boat. A middle-aged man stands at the dock and a young man stands at the boat tip. They stand opposite each other.
"Ah Zhen, really want to go?" asked the middle-aged man.
"Yes! I really want to go."
"Thank you so much these years. Otherwise, we are still a group of water bandits who are worried about doing serious business."
"Compared with the help of the Sect Leader in those years, these are nothing. Besides, I am a member of the Sect and should do my best."
"Although you have made up your mind, I still want to advise you, Xianyuan! It's a legendary thing. You are aimless. Where can you find it?"
"I'm still young. I must try."
"Alas! I know I can't convince you. If you want to have a bad life outside, remember to come back. This is your home." The middle-aged man refused to give up.
"Thank you, Leader Cheng Quan." A Zhen warmed up and bowed with both hands, untied the stack rope, and the boat went down the river.
The two looked at each other for a long time and were silent.
The youth set foot on the way to find immortals. This farewell may be forever!
The boat turned across the bend, and the dock disappeared from sight. Ah Zhen returned to sit in the boat and took a jade pendant from his neck.
The jade pendant is flawless and crystal clear. It is carved with a sword. There is a red eye pupil at the handle, which is beautiful, weird and contradictory.
He rubbed his finger gently and said to himself, "I have been investigating for many years, and the well-known secular forces do not have this sword shaped symbol, so it can only come from the legendary Xiuxian World. Don't worry, I will help you finish your obsession."
He is the only one on the boat. I don't know who is relieved. Listen, this jade pendant is not his own.
Since ancient times, there have been countless rumors about the immortal family, but how many people have been lucky enough to be immortal?
But is Ah Chen an ordinary person?
He lived among bandits at the age of seven. In eight years, he changed a group of bandits into businessmen and became the largest gang in Shaqiu River.
It is not only the brain that counts, but also the courage to kill and fight. He is a pacesetter on the Shaqiu River and also a murderer on the Shaqiu River.
Shaqiu River flows through several states and joins the East China Sea at Yanzhou. It has been said since ancient times that there are islands in the East China Sea and immortals are hidden in the islands.
Three hundred miles into the sea is an endless dense fog. Since ancient times, people searching for immortals have either died in the sea or entered the dense fog. Since then, there has been no news.
A large ship was traveling in the East China Sea, with waves several feet high and waves rolling up and down.
A young man in grey clothes stood at the bow of the boat, his clothes were soaked by the fog caused by the waves. It seems that he has stood here for a long time.
It's Ah Zhen.
When
He was the only one on the deck when the gong sounded.
Another big man came out of the cabin, swept around the crowd, and said in a deep voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, the dense fog area is ten miles ahead. You can row in a boat and remind me again that you should think about it. It's too late to regret now.
"I, Zhang Kuo, have been ferrying on this sea for decades, but I have never seen anyone who can come back after entering the dense fog. It is not clear whether it is Xianjiafu Land behind that. I will wait three hours here according to the rules before returning, and that's all I said."
As he said, the atmosphere on the deck became heavy.
There are three people in a family of ten. The child is only five or six years old. There are three scholars, an official, a woodcutter, a businessman, two old people who are going to die, and A Zhen.
Although everyone is worried, no one flinches when they are here.
The boat was two feet wide, pointed at both ends, and ten feet long. The group was divided into three boats. A Zhen and three scholars took one boat.
The three scholars were all in their early twenties. They didn't want to mention the cultivation of immortals because they lost the list this year. They challenged each other and came here.
The longest one is Dai Taihe, the fatter one is Leng Bin, and the thinner one is Tan Kaifu.
The four people got to know each other on the boat without introduction. They got on the boat, and Leng Bin and Tan Kaifu rowed. At this time, the sea was calm. Otherwise, a wave would be the end of the boat.
"Suddenly, I heard that there was a fairy mountain on the sea, and the mountain was in the emptiness. The pavilion was exquisite with five clouds rising, and there were many fairies among them..." The rumored fairy fate was right in front of me, and Dai Taihe could not help singing poems aloud.
"Ha ha, Brother Dai should respond to the situation. What should we do after ten years of poverty? It's the right thing to look for immortals." Leng Bin laughed in agreement.
"Exactly. The immortal stroked my head, and his hair grew longer." Tan Kaifu shook his oars and nodded, feeling as if he had already worshipped the West Immortal Sect.
"Cough... What if I die?"
The smile suddenly stopped, and Ah Zhen was disappointed and demolished. The three people didn't care about the retort, but hung their heads and kept silent The sound of oars rising and falling is still the same.
Half an hour later, a thick fog appeared in front of us. The fog was as high as the sky, like a huge wall across the sea. The first reaction I saw was not spectacular, but an unknown depression.
I feel my heart rate is a little slow, and I can't spit out the accumulated air in my chest.
The three boats were several meters apart, and they stopped in front of the thick fog. A dozen people were speechless, and they were almost at the door. Instead, they were lost.
"Ha ha... Let's take a step ahead, can't we go back after we all know this?" The woodcutter laughed bravely.
"Yes, you should see the blessed land of the immortal family when you die. It's not a wasted life." An old man in the same boat looked at the mainland for several times and slowly said.
This is heroic words, but why do you feel sad?
The canoe should row to the dense fog first, and the other two boats were still floating.
The boat only rowed two feet out, and the sea water under the boat swelled up at a high speed, like a mountain made of water, and huge black shadows rushed out from under the water.
"Wow..."
When the sea water splashed, a huge mouth opened from the small boat to the left and right, and the small boat was pushed away from the water several feet, "pounds", and the big mouth closed, and all the people on the boat sank into the big mouth.
It is a huge fish. Its head is the size of a house, but it is more than ten feet long when it is exposed to the water.
"Pa"
The head of the fish hit the surface of the sea, causing two feet of waves to hit the remaining two boats, and the boat body fluctuated violently.
"Come on, into the thick fog," Ah Chen shouted.
Leng Bin and Tan Kaifu have just come back to their senses and tried their best to row the oars. Ah Zhen and Dai Taihe are also beside the boat, paddling with their palms.
The other boat saw this and hurried to follow.
Everyone's face was pale, and their lips couldn't help shaking. Have you ever seen such an evil thing? A small boat can only fill the teeth.
Once I left the fog, I entered. In a twinkling, both boats entered the fog, and the line of sight was less than three feet.
"Stop, don't make any noise." A Zhen whispered.
Can
"What can I do? Listen to me." Although they are younger than the three, this drink has its own momentum. They can't help but stop moving and sit quietly on the boat.
"Bang bang..." Both of us could hear the heartbeat, but we thought how frightened we were.
"Wow..."
The sound of water waves came from the slanting front, which was another boat.
After ten minutes of breathing, several screams of fear came out in a hurry, and then everything was silent. There were only a few foot high waves rolling on the water.
A Zhen looked at each other and knew that another boat had also been swallowed by a giant fish.
