Chapter 91 Fog covers the river, and the copper bull opens its eyes
The woman swimming in the water was very fast, and she swam close to the boat in the blink of an eye.
Although the old fisherman who was punting the boat had been traveling on this river for many years, this was the first time he encountered such a scene, and he was somewhat frightened.
Fortunately, he knew that the scholar in green shirt standing at the bow of the boat was a practitioner, and he slowly felt at ease.
The woman in the water is green all over, with a big head and a small body, her chest is covered with light blue soft armor, and her hands are long and thin.
This is obviously not a human girl, but a water demon.
To be precise, it should be a green shrimp banshee.
After the green shrimp succubus approached, she kept looking at the scholar in the green shirt and the girl in the green skirt on the bow.
Before Li Xianyue could speak, he asked, "Are you a scholar? A scholar among humans?"
Li Chaoyi smiled and nodded: "Yes, I am Confucian disciple Li Chaoyi. Thank you very much for your help, girl!"
The Green Shrimp Banshee used her slender right hand to fiddle with the water spray in front of her, looking forward to it and saying: "Since you are a scholar, you should know a lot, right? Do you know the mountains and rivers of Beizhou?"
"I know a little bit, what do you want to ask me?"
"I am a shrimp demon from Black Moon Lake in Lingshui Kingdom in the north. I heard that there is a large lake in the south called Yinjing Lake, which is very suitable for shrimps to grow. I want to go there and have a look."
The Green Shrimp Banshee said with a hint of laziness: "Before departure, I asked some Taoist priests at Feilong Temple by Black Moon Lake, and they told me that as long as you go all the way south, you can reach Yinjing Lake in three months. But.
It’s been eight months since I left Black Moon Lake, but I still haven’t seen Yinjing Lake.”
"After asking the passing ships, no one knows where Yinjing Lake is. Do you know what's going on? Could it be that those young Niubi Taoists from Feilong Temple are trying to coax me?"
Li Changyi looked slightly strange and confirmed: "Are you going from Black Moon Lake in Lingshui Kingdom in the north to Yinjing Lake in the south?"
"Yeah, what's wrong? Isn't there a place called Yinjing Lake? Those young men are really trying to fool me?"
Li Chaoyi smiled and said: "No, there is a place called Yinjing Lake, but you are going the wrong way."
"Huh? Wrong way?"
"Lingshui Kingdom is to the west of the northern border, and Yinjing Lake is to the west of the southern border. If you go straight south, you can almost reach Yinjing Lake in three months. But now, you are at the south of the eastern border."
The Green Shrimp Banshee was a little confused. She was stunned for a few moments before she realized: "South of the Eastern Border? You mean that I ran from the northwest to the southeast of the continent? Not the southwest?"
Li Xianyue nodded.
Wow——
The green shrimp banshee suddenly dove into the water.
"Elder brother, who is this shrimp demon sister?" Xiao Qianjun was very confused when he saw her strange behavior.
"Perhaps I was so stupid that I was ashamed to see people, so I found a crack in the ground - no, found a crack in the water to hide in?" Li Xiangye was not sure, so he guessed and replied.
Xiao Qianjun blinked, greatly surprised.
After a while, the Green Shrimp Banshee emerged from the bottom of the water again, with a look of disdain still remaining on her face that was so different from that of a human being.
"Scholar, is this really the east border? Isn't it the south border?"
Qing Xia Banshee still seems to have some illusions, or she doesn't want to believe that she is really that stupid and could be so ridiculously wrong.
Li Changyi nodded ruthlessly: "If you don't believe it, you can ask the old man who supports the boat."
The green shrimp banshee looked at the old fisherman at the stern of the boat.
Seeing the confused and harmless look of the green shrimp banshee, the old fisherman was no longer afraid and replied: "This is the Qingjiang River. It is indeed the East. Three hundred miles further downstream is the famous Donghuan City in the East."
After Hanjiang passes through Qinglong Gorge and enters the eastern border, it is called Qingjiang.
The East Ring City mentioned by the old fisherman is one of the most famous cities in the East. It is not only located in Beizhi Gezhou, but also has a certain reputation in the neighboring Zhongtu Divine Continent, East Penglai Continent, and Northeast Dahuang Continent.
Although the Green Shrimp Banshee lives in the north, she has also heard of this big city on the edge of the Qingjiang River.
When she heard the old fisherman's words, she was stunned and almost got into the water again.
Southwest, southeast, this way of getting lost is too confusing.
What a shame!
Before setting off, she swore to the other sisters in Black Moon Lake that with her first-class road recognition and driving skills, she would be able to reach Yinjing Lake in less than two months.
When the time comes, she will draw a blueprint, add it with a detailed itinerary, and send it back to Lingshui Kingdom by flying letter, so the sisters in the clan can follow the blueprint and move to Yinjing Lake together.
The result is now...
"Yeah, I haven't sent a message back for so long. Don't the sisters think that I was captured by the big demon or cooked and eaten by some human monk?"
The Green Shrimp Banshee suddenly reacted and became a little panicked. Her limbs fluttered and splashed countless water splashes.
Xiao Qianjun looked at her with big eyes in astonishment.
This shrimp demon sister seems to be not as smart as her.
She left her senior brother and lost her temper, but she never lost her way.
Li Changyou asked curiously: "With your level of knowledge of the road, why would your clan send you to lead the charge to find Yinjing Lake?"
The Green Shrimp Banshee finally settled down, accepted the current situation, and replied: "Because among all the sisters, I am the highest level and the best at fighting."
"Are you at the highest level?"
"Well! Don't look down on Xia, I am a six-level demon general, equivalent to a six-level warrior among you humans!" The Green Shrimp Banshee raised her chin, very proudly, "You ordinary six-level monks like humans, But he couldn't beat me. After I came out of the clan, I met a big warrior from the Sixth Realm. He wanted to take me back and make me his wife, but I beat him down and threw him into the river to soak in water for three days."
"I admire you! Then why are you still lost?"
The green shrimp banshee's face fell, and she wanted to dive into the water again.
Xiao Qianjun wanted to laugh when she saw her embarrassed look.
Even the old fisherman felt that this confused female shrimp demon was not as ferocious and terrifying as the legendary water demon or banshee.
Li Xianyue also laughed.
Seeing the smile on his face, the Green Shrimp Banshee finally understood that he was deliberately teasing her.
He splashed the water a few times and said angrily: "They say that you humans are not a good thing, especially the scholars among humans, who are the most bad-tempered. Today I saw it, and it is indeed true. I even helped you!"
Seeing that she was getting anxious, Li Chaoyi stopped joking, put away his smile and said: "Okay, you just helped us calm the storm, I will help you too. In fact, if you want Yinjing Lake, it is also very simple."
Um?
The green shrimp banshee blinked, a little confused.
This is the Eastern Territory, thousands of miles away from Yinjing Lake in the west of the Southern Territory. How could it be simple?
Li Chaoyi did not give in and said directly: "Fifty miles downstream is a small town called Feifu. There is a Xianjia ferry there. You can directly take the Xianjia treasure ship to the south."
"When you get to the southern border, whether you walk there by yourself or switch to the Immortal Family's treasure ship, it's not too far to go to Yinjing Lake."
The Green Shrimp Banshee was a little dazed, as if it was the first time she heard of the Fairy Treasure Ship, and she didn't quite understand what the Fairy Treasure Ship was.
Li Changyi knew that Black Moon Lake in Lingshui Kingdom in the north was a large demon pool where many fish, shrimps, shells and other water-type demons lived.
But I didn't expect that the green shrimp banshee, who is equivalent to the sixth realm of human beings, would know so little about the fairy world.
No wonder she got lost all the way to the east.
What on earth did those big monsters in Black Moon Pond think that they would let such a confused shrimp monster wander out?
But he still gave her a brief explanation.
"Taking a ride on the Xianjia treasure ship requires four kinds of copper coins: spring plowing, summer planting, autumn harvest, and winter storage? What are the avenue copper coins..."
Before she finished speaking, the green shrimp banshee suddenly plunged into the water and disappeared.
Half a quarter of an hour later, the banshee reappeared in front of the bow of the ship, holding up two money bags and opening them for Li Changye to see: "Are these the copper coins you mentioned?"
Li Xianyue took a look and nodded: "Yes, they are all Dao copper coins, one bag of spring plowing money, and one bag of autumn harvest money."
"Is that bag of money enough for me to take the Immortal Family's treasure ship to the south?"
"You don't need a bag, half a bag is enough."
"I understand, thank you, this bag is for you!"
The Green Shrimp Banshee learned that half a bag of copper coins she picked up from the bottom of the river was enough for her to go to the south. She was very happy and immediately threw one of the bags to Li Qiang as a thank you gift.
Li Chaoyi wanted to refuse and returned the Daodao copper coins to her, but she refused.
According to their rules in Black Moon Pool, the recipient of a demon's help must give a gift of thanks, and the water demon who is being rewarded must also accept the gift, otherwise it will be regarded as rude.
Since she had such rules, Li Changyi had no choice but to accept them.
On the way to Feifu City downstream together, Li Quanyi explained to the Green Shrimp Banshee in detail all the matters involved in taking the Xian family's treasure ship.
Otherwise, with her confused appearance, she would not have been betrayed and counted the money for her.
The six realms of cultivation that she thought were very powerful were not enough to be seen at the Xianjia Ferry and on the treasure ship.
After arriving at Feifu City and watching the Xianjia treasure ship aboard the Green Shrimp Banshee leave, Li Qianyi and Xiao Qianjun transferred to a large ship and continued down the river to the East Ring City.
Hanjiang, which was renamed Qingjiang after entering the eastern border, turns northeastward outside Donghuan City.
It happens to be in the same direction as Li and Xiao Qianjun are going to Donghua Mountain. You can continue to travel by boat and then walk on a waterway.
The newly transferred large passenger ship is called Lu Chuan. The passengers on the ship are very mixed. At a glance, there are monks from the Immortal family, heroes who have traveled the world, officials, wealthy businessmen, and ordinary people.
The ship is three stories high, and the top floor is full of generous immortal monks, heroes, officials, wealthy businessmen, and some scholars who are on study tours.
On the lower two floors, most of them are people traveling from ordinary backgrounds.
There were hundreds of people on one boat, which was very lively.
Li Chaoyi and Xiao Qianjun chose the second floor and asked for a single room.
There is a waterway of 250 miles from Feifu City to Donghuan City, and it takes two days to travel by boat.
There was no rush anyway, Li Changyue was going to look through the few ancient books given by Hu Baiyue, the second gentleman of Qingsui Villa.
One of the ancient books introduces anecdotes about many landscape gods in the East. Reading it may be somewhat helpful for your trip to Donghua Mountain.
After all, the Goddess of Donghua Mountain is the number one deity in Gezhou in the north. She holds a century-old traveling god meeting, and many landscape gods will definitely participate.
There was a young ascetic living in the single room to the left of Li Chaoyi and Xiao Qianjun.
In the single room on the right is an extremely beautiful woman.
The moon is lost in the Jin ferry, and the fog envelopes the Qingjiang River.
That night, while the ship was sailing silently on the river, in the single room on the right, an extremely beautiful woman took her head off and brought it to the window.
In the single room on the left, a young ascetic in gray robes clasped his hands together and confessed his sins.
Two hundred miles downstream, at the bottom of the Qingjiang River, a bronze bull opened its eyes and looked upstream at the large ship coming in the thick fog.
