Chapter 298 [Go to Xujiang again]
Fang Chang didn't look back.
He still looked at the cliffs that kept rushing towards his face, and was deftly avoided by the bamboo rafts under his feet, and listened to the waves of the river and the chirping of monkeys and birds on both sides.
Behind him, the surface of the river continued to explode with spray.
The Lingquan sword was under the river, moving around with a much more agile and quicker speed than swimming fish, and followed Fang Chang closely.
The dark rocks and dangerous shoals in the river were crushed one by one by the Lingquan sword.
The water surface began to become turbid due to the stone chips all over it. Under the action of the water flow, they will be evenly distributed on the bottom of a long section of the river. The remaining large stones will be turned into pebbles in the long years to come, being pushed and polished by the river water.
As Fang Chang passed by on a bamboo raft, the water flow on the river changed instantly.
Some people didn't know that the vortex that had been formed for thousands of years gradually subsided, and then the whole river became smoother.
When the next wave of boat people pass by, they will find that the difficulty of sailing in this long canyon will be much reduced. Although this means that more people will enter the industry and compete with themselves for jobs, but it is also a real improvement in life preservation.
After all, in the previous situation where the dangerous shoals were all over the place, even veteran boatmen couldn’t guarantee that they would be able to come back with all their needs and tails on the next trip.
Of course, sailing on the river still requires sufficient eyesight and experience. After all, only some of the original risks disappeared this time. The waterway is still tortuous and turbulent. Only veterans can avoid the oncoming cliffs.
The only elusive thing is that in order to explain all this, what stories will spread next--I don’t know if it will be a dragon crossing the river and entering the sea, or a water monster turning over the river mud to find treasure.
He stood on the bamboo raft, his clothes fluttering, and he entered the state of cultivation breakthrough again.
Gain had just let the Lingquan sword out of its sheath and entered the water, Fang Chang suddenly realized that he was vaguely aware of it before, but he didn't think about it carefully.
The so-called Dao follows nature, and the utilization and transformation of nature by living things is also a part of nature itself, which is not contrary to the nature of the state of mind and the nature under the way of heaven. Therefore, what I do according to my heart at this time is actually the same as what I hold in my practice.
And over the years, what I have done on Xianqi Cliff is also in line with this point.
"ha!"
Thinking of this, with a clear mind, the movement of the Lingquan sword underwater is even more joyful, the bamboo raft under the feet moves faster with the waves, and even moves forward with the wind, the corners of the clothes float back.
A mountain dweller who was busy at the peak of the river was very surprised to see the people in the river, dressed in white and snowy, standing on the bamboo rafts with their hands behind their backs, without sails or oars, traveling faster than galloping horses, and even thought they were gods and ghosts. , tangled whether to kneel down or avoid.
It’s just that Fang Chang’s speed was too fast. Before he could figure out how to deal with it, he turned a corner and disappeared.
None of the mountain people here will participate in the water transportation between Shu and the Central Plains, so no one will connect the "monster in white clothes in the river" with the disappearance of dark rocks at the bottom of the water. This chance encounter is just a night talk for some nearby mountain villages , add some material.
The current is turbulent, the bamboo raft is faster, and the distance of several hundred miles is passed in an instant.
As the small bamboo raft floated out of the mountain pass, a huge boulder behind it, which swallowed up the lives of countless people on board, also turned into powder without sound.
唰—
Golden light flashed, and the Lingquan sword burst out of the water, pulled a sword flower in mid-air, looked for the direction, and returned to the scabbard behind Fang Chang.
The wind is smooth and the speed is still very fast.
Although he confirmed that his next goal was to return to Xianqi Cliff, Fang Chang didn't feel like returning home.
He slowly supported the bamboo raft and headed east along the river.
Regardless of day or night, Fang Chang didn't stop his hand to push the boat, nor did he search for food, nor did he open the package to eat. Eating is no longer necessary for him, and now he can completely "eat a solar eclipse for half an immortal's cliff, and not eat for a thousand days without starving".
The reason why I have to find some food every time I go to a place is that I can feel the local customs and customs, and the second is that it will be a little strange if I don’t eat.
After a while, it was not until Lianzhou, when he saw the area he passed by when he went to Liuzhou, that he slowed down and looked at the river bank that was both familiar and unfamiliar.
There is no uniform name for this great river, and it is called differently in various places.
This section in Lianzhou is called "Dongxu River" by the people. When Fang Chang went to Liuzhou, he rented a boat here and went down the river to Xingqing Mansion. After landing, he crossed Huaifeng by land. Mansion, back to Xianqi Cliff in Yunzhong Mountain of Ninghe Mansion.
Now that we are here, let’s go and have a look.
He randomly found a wild ferry on the shore, and roughly tied the bamboo raft after landing.
There is only a short trestle bridge paved here, and there are not many people coming and going, but a restaurant set up a shed next to it to sell wine.
Walking to the shed, Fang Chang took off the gourd at his waist and asked:
"Shopkeeper, what kind of wine is there?"
Xu is Fang Chang's attire is too rare, the shopkeeper looked at him carefully, and then replied: "If you go back to the guest officer, there is only sorghum wine in the shop, which is very strong, and it is mainly used by boatmen, especially in winter." , This is a good thing that can save people's lives at critical times."
"Take two corners and pour it into the gourd."
"Okay, Chenghui 15 Wen." The price is not bad, much lower than the average city. It seems that it should be a small business that grows sorghum and brews it by itself.
While pouring wine into the gourd with utensils, the shopkeeper looked at Fang Chang and asked casually:
"Guest officer, where did you come from and where are you going?"
Faced with these two ultimate questions, Fang Chang said with a smile: "I am a person from the Central Plains. I have recently traveled to Shu, and now I am returning. Now I am going to Lianzhou Prefecture to have a look - I heard that there is a river **** there." The temple is nice."
This place is very close to the capital city of Lianzhou, only about a dozen miles away.
From this wild wharf, you can clearly see the tall city walls of Lianzhou Fucheng on the north bank of the river in the distance, and you can also see the densely packed ships and pedestrians on the wharf outside the city. There is also the moderately sized Jiangshen Temple sandwiched between Fucheng and this wild wharf.
The shopkeeper handed the gourd back to Fang Chang, Fang Chang took it, thanked him, and walked out of the shed.
He raised the gourd, looked up and took a sip of the wine from the Western Regions, then tied it around his waist again, and walked lightly towards the east.
Fang Chang didn't plan to go to Lianzhou Fucheng. He planned to visit his old friend Zhou Jiangshen in the Jiangshen Temple, and then returned to this small ferry, supporting the bamboo raft to continue downstream.
