Chapter 183: Tiger Wings, Please Enter the Urn(1/2)
Let's turn our time back to before dawn today.
In fact, the first person to find that the rain stopped in the market where the wind crossed was Shisheng. It was just dawn at that time, and Shisheng, who was affected by the dragon vein energy, had already woken up. At that time, he sat up from the straw pile and looked outside thoughtfully.
The heavy rain that had lasted for many days stopped quietly. However, compared to the last brief rain stop, this time it made Shisheng feel puzzled.
Because the aura of the dragon vein that made him feel uneasy had completely disappeared.
The previous document once mentioned that a short-term strange phenomenon will occur before the dragon vein matures. On this day, the real dragon will lie dormant in the abyss at the bottom of the river and do its best to absorb the power of the dragon vein. This is the final preparation for leaving at midnight tonight. Therefore, during this day, the nearby dragon vein energy and even water vapor will be greatly reduced, resulting in a sudden and hot temperature.
But how could Shisheng know about this? He felt that the nearby "qi" dissipated quietly overnight, so he became suspicious and quietly got up and left the inn. His first reaction was to go down the river to take a look, but when he sneaked into the Yellow River, he found that the strange river water that had emitted before did not leave a trace of breath at this time. This was really strange.
After about two hours, Shisheng touched the bottom of the nearby river but still had no harvest. So after he came out of the water, his first reaction was: Could it be that the true dragon emperor had already emerged?
Of course, this was just his guess. When he got ashore, the sun had already risen. Shisheng was wearing clothes at that time. Suddenly, a gust of south wind blew, and Shisheng couldn't help but frowned and began to smell it vigilantly.
Because it rained, his dog's nose had been wasted for several days. Now that the rain stopped, it recovered. Look at him, he was stunned at the time, and he could only vaguely smell a faint smell of horse manure in the wind.
This is so strange. You should know that there are no horses in the market at Chengfeng Ferry, because horses can't carry heavy items on this muddy road, and the price is also expensive. Therefore, wealthy merchants nearby use old cows to carry items, and the smell of horse manure is obviously blown from far away by the wind. There should be quite a lot of horses, otherwise the smell would not float here.
What happened? Out of curiosity, Shisheng put on his clothes and used the word "Star Picking" and ran away along the smell. Before he could run for a long time, he saw a team of well-equipped and murderous intent sailing along the official road. One, two, a total of 126 people, all of whom were fierce in black heavy armor. Shisheng hid in the distance and looked at the team of evil stars. He thought to himself, which country they were soldiers? Why had he never seen this armor and that flag?
The team of more than 100 people is the personal army of Ye Zhenglong mentioned. This team of people is Ye Zhenglong's confidant, and the flag used is not the big banner of the Tiger Camp, but the flag that belongs exclusively to Ye Zhenglong himself. At that time, Shisheng was lying in the grass and felt surprising in his heart, because the murderous aura of this team of soldiers was too great and did not look like the army of an ordinary country. Because these people just passed by, they had already alarmed the birds on the trees on both sides.
The leading general seemed to think that the crow hovering above his head was too noisy, so he pulled out his bow and arrow, and shot it without even looking at it. With a clanging sound! The arrow broke through the air and shot through two big birds in succession, and the arrow still stopped.
Shisheng frowned. He understood that just saying this force was no longer a realm that ordinary warriors could reach. The leading soldier should be a skilled qi practitioner!
Shisheng did not dare to be negligent, so he followed him secretly. After following for several miles, he saw the team of horses getting off the official road and running towards the river. But this was strange. Why did such a group of masters equipped with the back groove come to this remote place?
Could it be that these people have any conspiracy?
After all, the ferry of the wind was of great importance, so Shisheng held his breath and followed closely. They saw them standing in front of a forest. Looking far away, they saw five men emerging from the forest. They knelt in front of the general-looking man and seemed to say something, but they were too far away and stood at the upper vent, so they couldn't hear their conversation.
When Ye Zhenglong followed the Five Tiger Generals into the woods, Shisheng sneaked over secretly, but he didn't expect that the group of soldiers would actually surround the woods in a circle and guard!
This team of soldiers is not a mob. They have clear division of labor and are in an orderly manner. Some soldiers even climbed to several tops of guard. Shisheng understood that under such strict guards, unless they have the ability to escape from the ground, they will definitely be discovered when they approach it rashly.
But the more this happens, the more curious Shisheng is, and now he is not able to take the initiative. After all, he doesn't even know who he is, so he does not conform to the rules of the world. So he had to crawl forward and come to the closest safe distance to those people, and at the same time he starts to wait patiently.
He didn't expect that the soldiers had been waiting for several hours. The quality of the soldiers was too high. They stood there like the dummy carved from the wood. This made Shisheng feel a little anxious. At this moment, Shisheng suddenly heard a bright cry from the sky. When he looked up, he realized that it was the little white eagle flying towards him. The white eagle's call was strange, which instantly attracted the attention of the guards. For a moment, dozens of long arrows shot towards the white eagle. Fortunately, the white eagle turned around in the air and avoided the arrows. The white eagle seemed angry and wanted to pounce on the people. Fortunately, Shisheng turned over and gestured to it in time. You must know that if the little white eagle came forward rashly, he had to go out to fight them, and this lurking matter would be exposed.
Fortunately, the little Bai Diao was psychic. When he saw Shisheng asking it to retreat, he obediently turned around and flew to the distance. Shisheng then turned around and crawled back. When they arrived at the place where people could not see, Shisheng whistled and replaced Bai Diao, peeled off the letter from Bai Diao's legs and took a look.
There is only one sentence in this letter: Brother Shisheng, Brother Hanshan is here. Come back quickly.
It turned out that Li Hanshan was here. No wonder Xiaobai was so anxious to find him. After all, it was easy to deal with Li Hanshan. With his apocalypse power, he could definitely calculate the way of riding the wind, and let them know if Awei was the true dragon emperor.
When he thought of this, Shisheng turned around and walked back without hesitation, because he also understood that although this team of soldiers was very strange, he still went to find the real dragon. That's all.
Using the word "Zhixing" was no less than that of Bai Diao, and he soon returned to the market. Li Hanshan, who was exhausted, was sitting in Ruxin Inn and eating noodles. Xiaobai and Zhiyuan were sitting on the same table with him. When Shisheng came back, Xiaobai was about to speak, but Zhiyuan was pulled under the table by Zhiyuan.
It was obvious that Zhiquan was still angry in Sheng Shi. At that time, Li Hanshan was chewing the noodles in his mouth and looked at Shisheng curiously. He thought to himself what happened to these two girls? He usually knew how to be cold and hot when he saw Shisheng, but why did he seem to have seen an enemy now and his mouth was so long?
Among Shisheng and the other three, Li Hanshan was the most qualified Taoist priest. His power of apocalypse gave him no time to contact women, so naturally he would not touch the minds of the two of Zhiyuan and the others.
Shisheng just smiled awkwardly and was about to talk to the two of them, but saw Zhiyuan pulling Xiaobai up and leaving. Alas, it seems that they are still angry with me. How unfair do you think I am?
There is no way, now you have to do something, so let's explain to them slowly. Thinking of this, Shisheng sat next to Li Hanshan and asked him at the same time: "Hanshan, why are you here by yourself? Where are the drunks?"
"Don't mention it." Li Hanshan took a sip of the noodle soup and put down the bowl, then said with some amusement and laughter: "We were together, but later the drunkard said that this was too inefficient, so he proposed to scatter the search for the true dragon emperor, but he still thought I didn't know. Although he said that while drunk, he only wanted to drink in his heart."
It turned out that Li Hanshan and Liu Bolun passed by a small town at that time, which was rich in Fenjiu. Liu Bolun, a wine tycoon, couldn't move when he smelled the wine, so he had to sway and hoped to stay for a few more days. As for his bad habit, Shisheng Li Hanshan had long been used to his, so he couldn't say anything.
By the way, since they separated, Li Hanshan walked along the river alone. Although he used his own divination method to calculate the source of the real dragon every day, for some reason, his divination method had lost its power in this item and had always been in a state of "unawareness of the way of heaven".
Later, Li Hanshan also figured it out. It was not because he couldn't calculate it, but because of the fixed number of the way of heaven. After all, this true dragon emperor is a hero who will pacify the world in the future, and it is related to the future destiny of the people of the world. Therefore, except for specific people, God will not let those who have predictive abilities interfere with the dragon fortune.
Just when Li Hanshan was at a loss, Bai Diao discovered him first. So, after learning that Shisheng might have discovered the true dragon emperor, Li Hanshan rushed here as soon as possible.
"How strange is God?" Li Hanshan put down his bowl and smiled at Shisheng, "The place I have been exploring these days is a severe drought, but you have been soaking in the water these days. By the way, where is the 'true dragon emperor' you mentioned in the letter? I just asked them, and they were just a little ignorant, and did they say that the man was called 'Awei'?"
Shisheng nodded. Seeing that there was no one around him, he carefully told Li Hanshan all the things he had seen in the past few days. After hearing his words, Li Hanshan couldn't help but speak in surprise: "After you say this, Awei may indeed be the future real dragon. I have read similar books in my dreams, which said that when the dragon energy condensed, it would appear like a small snake or a small fish. You said that Awei would spray white mist with the little snake. Maybe this is the illusion presented by the solidification of the dragon energy in his body. But you said that the 'qi' that crossed by the wind is very strange, why didn't I feel it?"
"That's because the anger has disappeared since early this morning." Shisheng said: "This is also one of the reasons why I feel strange. What do you think is going on?"
Li Hanshan shook his head, then sighed, "Who knows, the divination technique on my body becomes very effective when encountering this broken thing. I can only hope that I will react a little after seeing Awei. By the way, where are others?"
"Isn't he in the inn?" Shisheng was stunned for a moment, thinking that according to Awei's usual habit, he should be learning to recognize words with Mu during this period of time, but why is he no longer here today?
Shisheng didn't know that he was one step late. Awei had already left with Cheng Kegui at this time.
This matter started half an hour ago, because tomorrow we would be separated from Mu. So Awei was so uncomfortable all day, and Shisheng was not here, so he had no one to tell him that he had to lie down in the demolition room to sleep, but how could he sleep? He lay there, tossing and turning about the various good things about Mu's yesterday and the sad scenes of tomorrow's separation.
Thinking of the sadness, even a man like him could not help but turn red. Separation was indeed a disgusting thing. Awei thought to himself: It would be so uncomfortable to think about it just by thinking about it. When we really want to separate tomorrow, what kind of face will he treat the Mu family? He wanted to see the Mu family for one more day, but after making this decision, he realized that it was even more painful, and the Mu family was the same. Until now, he didn't even dare to see her.
They have not been separated, but the ditches of their identities have long been formed, dividing them.
Why is this happening to the gods? Why are you not together even though you are destined to be together?
Years of experience have made Awei afraid to ask for God’s will. After a long period of experience, he understood the truth that if he was unwilling to face it, he could only escape.
Yes, instead of being very sad tomorrow, I wouldn’t have sneaked away today, so maybe I’ll feel better.
Well, that's it.
Thinking of this, Awei immediately stood up to pack up his burden. After all, he has always been a man who dares to act. Those indecisive and affectionate children may really not be suitable for him.
After packing up his bag, Awei was originally a big conscience to say goodbye to his new friend Shisheng, but he could not see Shisheng when he waited, so Awei couldn't wait and thought that if there were too many inns at night, he would definitely be discovered when he left. Anyway, he would leave early and late, so it would be better to leave now and look free and easy.
After making up his mind, Awei changed back to his ragged clothes. He washed the clothes that Shisheng lent him every day, and now he was folded neatly on the haystack. He was finally leaving. Awei sighed, thinking that these days were really like a dream, because the most fulfilling life he had in his life was these few days. This heavy rain allowed him to have new friends and people he liked, but the rain stopped and he wanted to set off again to continue his journey.
Awei never complains. All he can do is to bear it silently.
However, just as Awei pushed open the wooden door and was about to leave, he found that the waiter before was walking here. After seeing Awei, Cheng Kegui said with a sad face: "Customer, little, little is so sad."
After saying that, Cheng Kegui's tears fell like he didn't have money. At that time, Awei was puzzled and wondered what was wrong. Why did this kid cry so much? So he said to Cheng Kegui: "What's wrong with you? Didn't you give you money? Why are you crying? Is your father not here? Don't worry, even if he didn't come, I won't care about you asking for the money back."
"He is here." Cheng Kegui cried to Awei, "But the person is almost gone."
Seeing that this journey was precious and pitiful, Awei said to him: "Don't worry first, let's talk slowly, how can the living person be gone?"
Cheng Kegui wiped his tears and told him a lie he had prepared long ago. He only told Awei that his "old father" had arrived this afternoon, but as he thought, the hard work along the way and the excitement of meeting him made his old illness relapse. Now he lives in the home of a nearby fisherman. He is very sick and seems to have not been alive for a long time.
Of course, this was just a scam designed by Dong Guangbao. Cheng Kegui burst into tears and choked at Awei and said, "My miserable old father has not enjoyed the blessing for a few days. After he helped me until today, he wanted to see you, and fortunately he was leaving. Thank you very much before leaving. Guest, I... wuwu."
After saying that, he started crying again, and Awei felt pitiful when he saw him crying. He also happened to want to leave at that time, so how could he refute the last wish of the "critical-sick old man"? So he asked Cheng Kegui to lead the way and lead him out of the inn.
It happened that as soon as Awei left the inn, Li Hanshan arrived. After this coincidence, the incident happened.
At that time, Cheng Kegui, who was nervous, led Awei all the way to a fisherman's house outside the market. Awei pushed the door open and saw that the simple adobe house had internal organs. A pale old man was lying on a broken wooden bed inside, and two men dressed in fishermen stood next to him.
Cheng Kegui's acting skills are indeed first-class. After entering the house, he really rushed to the bed of "his father" like a vicious dog robbing food. He pulled Dong Guangbao and cried loudly: "My~~~ Dad! You can helplessly, I've found you all the people. Look up quickly~~~!!"
"Your father is not dead yet." The person dressed by the fisherman next to him couldn't stand it anymore, but he couldn't have a good attack, so he had to remind him in his voice. Cheng Kegui seemed to think that his scene was a bit over at the time, but fortunately Awei didn't notice it.
After the two of them entered the house, Dong Guangbao, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes and had just prepared the formation. Now Dong Guangbao is so weak that he looks like a golden paper when he sees his face, he is indeed like an old man who is approaching.
"Ah...... I'm so precious, you said your benefactor is here?" Dong Guangbao said weakly: "Hurry, let me see him quickly, thank him in person."
Seeing that the old man was so weak, Awei felt pity. So he walked up and said to the 'Awei's father': "Hello, my father-in-law, I am Awei, don't thank me, this is all a matter of duty. How do you feel?"
"Thank you, thank you." Dong Guangbao coughed several times. Then he said tremblingly to Awei: "You are a good person, you are a good person. There are really few good people in this world now..."
Cheng Kegui, who was standing aside, snorted in his heart and thought to himself: That's right, no one in the room except Awei is a good person.
Although he thought so in his heart, he did not express it. Dong Guangbao's acting skills were even better than Cheng Kegui. He held A Wei's hand and kept crying and sensational, which made A Wei feel very uncomfortable when facing this "terminally ill" old man.
Yes, this old man seems to be unable to live long. You see, he looks faster than he gets angry. Oh, it's really pitiful.
After Dong Guangbao spoke for a while, he realized that the time had come, so he turned his eyes and pretended to faint. Cheng Kegui cursed his mother and rushed over to cry for his father, as if he was filial son in his life.
After seeing this, the two soldiers dressed in fishermen took the opportunity to "comfort" Cheng Kegui and said, "Brother, don't cry. As for this, let's discuss your father's funeral first."
Cheng Kegui hoped that Dong Guangbao would really die? In that case, he would be relaxed, but he could no longer bow his head under the roof at that time, so he cried even harder: "No! I won't let my father die, two uncles, please save my father, I have money, I have money to hire a doctor."
"This is not a question of whether or not you are rich or not." The 'fisherman' said to him: "You have also seen how he looks now, even if Hua Tuo is alive, he can't save him."
"No, no!" Cheng Kegui sat on the ground and cried hard. He could not give up even if he didn't cry. The two "fishermen" knew that everything they did was just for Awei to show it. Now that the time is up, it's time to go to the show.
So, another old man who was older said, "Oh, he is such a filial child. In fact... there is actually a way to save your father, but it's just a legend."
"What's the way? Uncle, please tell me!" Cheng Kegui begged emotionally, and at the same time cursed in his heart: "You're the old guy who has nothing to do, you're crying."
The old man heard Cheng Kegui beg him, so he said, "We have a legend here that the river god at the Fengfeng Ferry has a mount, which is the largest fish in the Yellow River. Its magical magic is superb and can bring back the dead. If you can find that magic fish, your father will definitely be saved."
"Really?" Cheng Kegui quickly said, "As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will try it. Two kind uncles, can you tell me the specific things about the magic fish?"
Seeing that Cheng Kegui was so sincere, the two "fishermen" sighed in difficulty. After they looked at each other, the "old fisherman" then said to Cheng Kegui: "Okay, seeing your child is so filial, I will tell you that it is said that before the second day of the second day of the lunar month, the Dragon Prince will release the divine fish out to play in the water to understand the people's sentiments. If you can find the divine fish, you will stuff a bag of soil mixed with your father's hair into its mouth. Your father's illness will naturally be cured."
"Where will the divine fish appear?" Cheng Kegui asked hoarsely again, and the two old fishermen looked at Awei with their light. Then they said in a difficult manner: "We don't know this, after all, it's just a legend, and it's still too unrealistic. So, alas..."
"Is there really nothing I can do?" Cheng Kegui burst into tears and cried, "Oh my God, can't you open your eyes? Can't I really save my father?"
"Very precious brother, don't say give up." Awei, who was standing beside him, finally spoke. It was obvious that he was also moved by Cheng Gui's 'filial piety', and he said, "There is still a way."
"What else can I do?" Cheng Kegui cried, "Where am I going to find this fish? This may be really just a legend!"
"It's not a legend." Ah Wei sighed and said, "I know where that magic fish is, I'll help you."
"What. Do you know?" Cheng Kegui and the two fishermen looked "surprised" at that time. Awei nodded very seriously. He also looked at the people who looked at him surprised, but he didn't know. Although everyone was surprised at that time, at that moment, including the one lying on the bed, they actually said in unison: Yes, I'm just waiting for your words.
If Awei was really kind-hearted, and he could not stand by death, he pulled Cheng Kegui out of the door and told him that he had seen a huge fish in the Yellow River, which must have been the divine fish. When Cheng Kegui saw that Awei was finally deceived, he followed the steps that Dong Guangbao ordered in advance and refused tactfully. Then, seeing that Awei insisted on helping him, he knelt on the ground and expressed his gratitude to him.
And why did Dong Guangbao set up this game?
To be continued...
