Lan Ke Qi Yuan Chapter 74: Weather Wan0
Picked up his oil-paper umbrella and packed it up, and looked at the fishing rod beside him. Is it inconvenient to carry it with him, or would it be a pity to throw it away? After much hesitation, Ji Yuan just took off the fishing line and hook, and put the green bamboo The pole was left by the pool.
Looking at this clear water pool again, although it only takes one year to give birth to a silver orifice fish, it is still considered miraculous.
"Next time, I plan for someone to get one of these fish to make soup to see how it tastes!"
Muttering something to himself, Ji Yuan stepped away from the edge of the pond.
At this moment, Laohua Mountain was filled with mist and nothing could be seen beyond five meters, but this had no impact on Ji Yuan. On the contrary, because it was almost impossible for any mountaineer to dare to walk around casually, Ji Yuan's steps became very fast.
From time to time, he would use his strength to fly across the branches and cliffs, or he would move forward with the most carefree and comfortable dragon movement. His body would occasionally sway slightly and he seemed slightly drunk, and he would cross a large stretch of rugged mountain road in an instant.
During the march, Ji Yuan not only compared some contents of Qi Lian Jue, but also thought of the changes and functions of the three chess pieces.
These three chess pieces come from the time when Lu Shanjun first came to Taoism; the moment when the red fox was released to receive his name and bowed before him; and the morning when Master Yin read the farewell poem he had given him.
If the understanding of people in this world is naturally profound, but if you use the various random information that Jiyuan has seen on the Internet in his previous life, it is not difficult to find that at its root, these three time periods have a profound impact on the three parties or Demon City had a huge impact.
Among them, Lu Shanjun and Little Fox are easier to understand. The only one who is slightly strange is Master Yin. However, Yin Zhaoxian knows very well about fate. It is very likely that the letter inspired Yin Zhaoxian’s ambition. Perhaps this ambition is big enough to change His future life.
From this point of view, the creation of chess pieces should have the meaning of corresponding destiny.
People can trust their destiny, but they cannot trust it fully. They may have their destiny, but they may not be unchangeable.
Ji Yuan also came into contact with many people during this period, as far away as Jiu Shaoxia, and as close as Wei Wuwei, but no chess pieces were produced. It may be that the level is not enough, or the person himself does not have the "talent to succeed in chess". ".
"Then why did Lu Shanjun's original chess piece turn black?"
Ji Yuan said to himself, thinking of the evil thing in the well, and it was his own finger that severely damaged it, causing its destruction and changing the color of the chess piece.
‘Is it because the chess piece turns black because it belongs to yin and water, or is it because of the evil spirit, or is it something else? Does this have any impact on Lu Shanjun? It seems to have a greater impact on me...'
Thinking of this, Ji Yuan waved the cuff of his left hand, and large areas of white mist with a radius of one foot gathered one after another. In an instant, they gathered into a round, crystal-clear water ball in Ji Yuan's left palm.
‘My water-bending skills are indeed stronger than fire-bending skills! ’
The biggest role of the previous three chess pieces for Ji Yuan was to assist the Qi Guiding Technique to gather spiritual energy, but the reaction of the three pieces stealing the elixir just now triggered Ji Yuan's deeper thinking.
At first Ji Yuan thought that although the chess pieces could gather spiritual energy, they did not really want to absorb spiritual energy. Now it seems that they are more eager to cultivate the alchemy energy.
‘Does the elixir energy, the chess piece’s energy, especially this precious first ray of elixir energy, have a greater impact on me, or does it also have an impact on the person who is the metaphor of the chess piece? ’
"Hey! Let's brush our teeth and wash up first..."
Ji Yuan smiled mockingly to himself, what kind of complex thoughts did he have for a small character? He stretched out his hand and broke off a vine branch. With the help of a water polo in his left hand, he began to walk while rinsing his mouth and brushing his teeth. Finally, he used a water polo racket. On his face, his hands rubbed together.
. . .
When Ji Yuan just left Laohua Mountain, the sun had already risen. As the sun shone, the fog in the mountain gradually disappeared.
Ji Yuan used the water-avoiding technique, and the damp clothes on his body suddenly seemed to evaporate and surround him in the sunlight. If someone happened to see it, it would be as ethereal as a fairy.
There is a village on the south side of the mountain pass, mostly home to boat and fishermen. There is a small ferry terminal along the dirt road outside the mountain road, and the Xiaoshun River is already sparkling in the morning sun.
Since it is still early, there are almost no people coming over the mountains from Jiudaokou County. Many large and small ships are moored at the berths. However, a large ship that should be heading to Jiudaokou has just arrived, and people are getting off the ship. , there are also boatmen carrying things up and down, and several donkey carts and carriages pulling goods are parked at the dock.
There are already signs of hustle and bustle even before it gets busy.
Although the Xiaoshun River has the word "small" in its name, it is not actually a small river. Its width ranges from more than 20 feet to more than 30 feet. It leads directly to the Chunmu River in the southeast direction. A key component of the Daokou County Waterway Crossing.
Ji Yuan gnawed on the remaining pancakes and arrived at the ferry terminal at a normal speed. Without looking at the big ships, he walked directly towards a small sailing passenger ship, an old man over fifty years old and a A dark young man about the size of his son was cleaning the boat.
"Boatman, can you accept the business to Chunhui Mansion?"
Ji Yuanzhong's powerful voice came, causing the two busy people on the boat to look towards the shore. One person was wearing a wide-sleeved gray robe, carrying a bag and holding an umbrella. He was standing at the pier, looking like a Confucian scholar but The hairstyle didn't look like him. At first glance, he looked like he was thirty or forty, but when he looked at him, he looked younger. It actually made the old boatman wonder how old the person was.
The old man walked to the bow of the boat and said to Ji Yuan.
"Of course I am going. Is this gentleman alone or with a companion? Does he want to charter a boat or can he wait for the guests to go with him?"
Ji Yuan thought for a moment before asking.
"There is only one person here, how much does it cost to charter a boat and wait for passengers to travel together?"
"If you charter a boat, it will only take three days to reach Chunhui Mansion if the wind is favorable this season. It will be at your own expense, of course, by my husband. The total amount is 200 yuan."
Two hundred coins, that is, one thousand two hundred coins, is more than one tael of silver. Ji Yuan frowned, the price was a bit expensive.
"If you are waiting for a passenger and you need to stay here for a while, I will put out a sign to attract guests and write Chunhui Mansion. You can also find the person you want to go by yourself. The ferry fare will be shared equally, or you may be willing to pay a little more. It’s okay, as long as it’s discussed, sir, please don’t worry, there are still a lot of people going to Chunhui Mansion every day, but my boat is small and can only carry ten people, otherwise I will have no place to rest at night.”
Ji Yuan looked at the boat. It was about three feet long and one foot wide in the middle. It had a vertical mast in the middle and a awning at the back. It was probably a place where passengers could take shelter from the rain and rest.
"Well, I'm sorry to disturb the boatman, please go down and ask for the price elsewhere!"
"Sir, please do as you please, but the price of our ship is already very reasonable!"
After the boatman said this, he continued to clean the cabin with the young people on the boat. He seemed to be very confident.
Sure enough, Ji Yuan wandered around for a long time and finally came back here. It was not that there were no cheaper boats, but considering the time required, cleanliness and comfort, this boat was really the most suitable.
Seeing him coming back, the old boatman also smiled.
"How about it, sir, you have decided?"
"Well, boatman, we'll wait for half a day. It's best if we have some passengers. If there are no passengers, I'll charter the boat."
"Okay, sir, you can make the decision! For the three-day trip, the meals on board will have fresh fish. There is no need for extra money to find Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com!"
The names have changed now. People go to Chunhui Mansion every day, but they all prefer large passenger ships. Their small ships don't do much business, and Ji Yuan just doesn't like the noise of big ships.
After hanging out the sign to Chunhui Mansion, Ji Yuan did not go to solicit guests. Instead, he sat down on the bow of the boat and read a book, with an attitude of completely letting people come or not.
Furthermore, Ji Yuan asked the boatman to fix the fare at 120 cents, and Ji Yuan would bear the remaining part. This was not because Ji Yuan was being generous, but because it was really inappropriate to share it equally. It would have been fine to spend less money on a larger ship.
As it approached noon, there were only six people in total, including two scholars, one old and one young, Sun Liang. The other two were unrelated to each other, a strong man with a beard and a thin middle-aged man.
The boatman only said that the shipping fee would be one hundred and twenty cents, and did not mention that Ji Yuan would cover the rest of the shipping fee. This was also what Ji Yuan had requested in advance.
Seeing that the boat passengers hardly greeted each other, Ji Yuan did not move from beginning to end, but he could hear the voices of these people. In this era, there are still few women going out.
At noon, the boatman came specifically to ask what Ji Yuan meant. After getting approval, he untied the rope and sailed the boat, swinging the big oar at the stern and sailed along the southeast direction of Xiaoshun River.
While the old boatman was rocking the oar, he followed the rhythm of the oar and sang a loud fishing song with a rich voice. The ups and downs of the rhythm are particularly charming.
"Fishing boat~~~~start the oar~~~~fisherman~~~~leisure~~~~"
Ji Yuan, who had been sitting on the bow of the boat and reading a book, also smiled knowingly when he heard the song, and turned his head to look towards the stern of the boat. When the old man was singing, his vague physical expression was slightly different than before.
Looking up at the sky, Ji Yuan felt inspired.
"The atmosphere of the human body is like the celestial phenomena, ever-changing!"
