Chapter 280 One night across the river
The moon sets, the crows cry, the frost is everywhere in the sky, and the river maple fishing fire is facing the sorrow of sleep.
The longest section of the river crossing the Yangtze River from Tianjian Mountain Pass was to spend the longest section of the river. In early winter, the boatmen rested for most of the time, and the rest was just to use the last few days to make another money for the winter.
A few guest boats floated in groups of three or three on the river. The autumn black is cold, the river wind is bleak, the galaxy is scattered, the water and wood are clear, and there is a young man in white standing by the river. The river breeze is swaying, the white clothes are fluttering, and under the bright moon, the young man's sword eyebrows are starry and starry eyes are handsome.
"Everyone in the world says that the Yangtze River is magnificent, but if I hadn't come here to appreciate it personally, how could I really understand what the word "magnificent" means?" The young man in white looked out into the river and sighed.
The boatman was a white-haired old boatman. He laughed loudly when he heard this, "If it weren't for this magnificent scenery, who would have thought of crossing the river from this Tianjian Mountain Pass? You got on the boat in the middle of the night and when you arrived on the other side, it was dawn. People say that the nebula changed this night, like a big dream of spring and autumn. Please experience it well."
The guest boat shook, and another young man in green came out of the cabin, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a firm and upright expression. He held the hand of the young man in white and stood at the bow of the boat. After taking a deep breath, he looked into the distance and suddenly stretched his eyebrows and sighed: "I said why did my senior brother hurry to go down the mountain? It turned out that he had the intention of traveling around the mountains and rivers. I thought it was the winter now, and the water plants were exhausted, and it was meaningless. I didn't expect it to be a different flavor."
The young man in white smiled cheerfully and said, "Half-mountain, you have been with me for so many years, but you are still so rigid. Every time you don't believe anything I say to you, you just have to see it yourself before admitting it."
The boy in white is naturally Bai Fangyun in his youth. He just passed the twenty-year-old, and the peak of the Break Void, and is only one step away from the realm of Apocalypse.
And the young man in green behind him is Xiao Banshan.
Xiao Banshan touched his head awkwardly and said, "Senior Brother, you are obviously like me, and you haven't gone down the mountain. Why do you know so much about the things under the mountain? It seems that you have been here a long time ago."
Bai Fangyun patted Xiao Banshan's shoulder and said, "You don't like to study on weekdays, and you don't like to talk and communicate with others. Naturally, you don't know anything. My family has been doing business for many years, let alone those shopkeepers who travel around the world. Even myself, I have a full understanding of the outside world."
Bai Fangyun said, greeting Chuanjia: "Is the chief of the water transportation company on your side Qi San Ge?"
The boatman was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that Bai Fangyun and Xiao Banshan, the young man with a tender expression, knew what was happening in his business. He was stunned for a moment and replied: "That's right, you have heard of Brother Qi San?"
Bai Fangyun smiled slightly and said, "I am a young man from the Bai family in Fengjiacheng. I heard from the shopkeeper several times that Brother Qi San is very feasting in the Yangtze River area."
The shopkeeper immediately changed his attitude and said with a smile: "It turns out that the guy is from the Bai family. Most of the food, clothing and expenses of the boatman in our area are transferred from your Bai family. When you turn around and cross the shore, I will find a car to take you to the city."
Bai Fangyun clasped his fists and said thanks, and then chatted with the boatman about commercial affairs near the Yangtze River. The old boatman laughed so hard that the corners of his mouth couldn't close, and he praised Bai Fangyun for being able to speak.
Not long after, the wind suddenly rose. Bai Fangyun and Xiao Banshan persuaded him to go back to the cabin. There were other disciples of his fellow disciples in the cabin and warm wine. After entering the cabin, they sat opposite each other and drank. Xiao Banshan had a question in his heart and could not drink the wine. Then he asked Bai Fangyun in a low voice: "Senior brother, why didn't you tell that person, you are the young master of the Bai family?"
Bai Fangyun smiled but said nothing. After three glasses of wine, he made Xiao Banshan anxious to jump. Bai Fangyun explained slowly: "If he knew my identity, he would definitely not dare to collect money from my ship. The whole year is over, just this last business, will you still make the money for him?"
Bai Fangyun glanced at Xiao Banshan and said, "What's more, if he knew my identity, he would definitely be a little uneasy. If we get along with him, we will be uncomfortable. It would be better to be like now. If we cross the river, we will have a free car to take a ride."
Xiao Banshan said in confusion: "Your family is so rich, you are still calculating."
Bai Fangyun Xiaoxiao didn't respond. He waited until the river wind dissipated and the guest boat could walk along the water for a while, and the old boatman entered the cabin.
The old boatman entered the cabin, leaned against the side and sat down, shook his cigarette pip, and looked at Bai Fangyun. He knew that Bai Fangyun was the leader of these young people.
Bai Fangyun nodded and signaled that the old boatman could smoke. The old boatman lit the fire with a crack. Not long after, he felt comfortable swallowing the clouds and fog.
Since ancient times, there has been no family between tobacco and alcohol. Bai Fangyun saw the old boatman smoking, and saw him flashing his eyes and looking at the wine table frequently. He knew that he was addicted to alcohol and was so greedy that he signaled the disciple of Taixuguan beside him to hand over a pot of wine to the old boatman.
The old boatman first refused, then quickly accepted it. After three glasses of wine, the old boatman's face turned slightly flushed. He kicked the stove under the table, and sparks splashed, and the temperature in the cabin also rose a little.
"I said, the Bai family, I think you guys don't dress like ordinary people, and they don't look like they do business. Are you?" The old boatman has been floating on the river for half his life, and has never encountered anyone or something. If he hadn't seen Bai Fangyun's kind-hearted expression, he wouldn't have asked this question.
Bai Fangyun smiled and said, "I have made some money in the Bai family in the past two years. Now I have been calm and follow my brothers out to make a living. I have to make another living."
The old boatman took a sip of cigarette and said with a serious expression: "If you go to Yan State during this period, you should avoid the east."
When Bai Fangyun heard this, he knew that the old boatman had not finished speaking. He waved his hand and handed the second pot of wine to the old boatman's hand. The first pot of wine had already been eaten, and the old boatman was really rude at this time. He took the second pot of wine and took a sip, and continued: "After these days, there are big insects in the east of Yan State, and dozens of people have died."
Xiao Banshan held his breath and concentrated for a long time. When he heard this sentence, he said dissatisfied: "What am I thinking? Just a tiger can cause any storm? Do we look like ordinary people who are afraid of tigers?"
Bai Fangyun glanced at Xiao Banshan and said angrily: "What kind of tiger have you seen? Can you kill dozens of people and live well, but you haven't been eliminated?"
Xiao Banshan was speechless after hearing this, and Bai Shu said to the old boatman: "You always keep talking."
The old boatman praised: "It's still the little guy who is meticulous. This big insect is indeed extraordinary. It is said that it has fangs on the mouth, wings on the back, snow-white fur, and deaf ears. It has carried dozens of lives on its body. It has not been caught yet. All those who dare to come forward have died. Now, although killing the big insect can get a lot of money, no one dares to take on this job."
The old boatman sighed, "No matter how much silver is, you have to have a life-saving flower."
Bai Fangyun and Xiao Banshan looked at each other, both worried.
The old boatman looked at the two of them, and advised: "I went back to the shore. I arranged a carriage and horse for you. Just enter the city. Don't walk around in the wilderness."
After saying that, the old boatman muttered softly: "If a guest dies in a foreign land, he will have nowhere to find his bones."
The wine was drunk and the cigarette was burned out. The old boatman thanked him and walked out of the cabin again to correct the route of the passenger boat.
In the cabin, several disciples of Taixu Temple were very enthusiastic. These were the younger generation of disciples. Many of them were the first time they went down the mountain. Even the disciples who had gone down the mountain before had no experience in combat.
To help the weak, to eliminate demons and protect the Tao have always been what these young disciples longed for the most. However, the world is peaceful and there will be no chaos for a long time. Even if you learn a whole body of Taoism, you will not have any chance to stretch.
After a while of discussion, everyone unconsciously looked at Bai Fangyun. Bai Fangyun was the young master of Taixu Temple and the leader of the team down this time. Only when he nodded and agreed, everyone had the opportunity to encounter the big insect trouble.
Bai Fangyun didn't keep it a secret and said bluntly: "From the description of this ship's master, the one who caused the disaster this time must be a strange spiritual beast. If you participate, it will definitely be indescribable and you can't control this matter."
After hearing Bai Jeanyun's words, everyone felt disappointed and asked a few more questions unwillingly. Bai Jeanyun said helplessly: "This is the matter of Yan State. Even if we care, it will not be our turn. The people of the Demon Sect may have arrived at this moment. In a few days, there will be news of the disasters that will be eliminated. Let's wait and save a lot of money."
When everyone heard that Bai Fangyun's words made sense, they had to stop in disappointment.
It was only when the night was dark and everyone was sleeping soundly that Xiao Banshan pushed Bai Jieyun, who was sleeping soundly. Bai Jieyun had a very light sleep and woke up suddenly, lit the light, and looked at Xiao Banshan without saying a word.
Xiao Banshan seemed to know Bai Fangyun and said, "Senior brother, I don't believe it. You don't want to go and see such an interesting thing."
Bai Fangyun smiled, cut the wick, pressed the flame and said, "It's not impossible to go and see it."
Xiao Banshan knew there was a chance and asked quickly: "What should I do? You said you won't take them there."
Bai Fangyun looked around for a moment and whispered: "I arrived in the city in the morning and asked them to settle down. We said we would go to deal with some of the Bai family shops. We sneaked over and took a look. If we could do our best, we would take the evil insect, which would be a merit. If it doesn't work, we dare to go to Yanjing and invite the masters of the Demon Sect to come."
At the end of hearing this, Xiao Banshan's face turned red, as if he had become a tiger-beating hero admired by thousands of people, and was famous all over the world.
