Chapter 41: Torture in the Deep Lake, Channel Lighting (Part 2)
Yu Ci turned his head when he heard the sound and realized that he had been focusing on listening to Zhai Queer and Su Shuanghe's secret scheme. The light boat under his feet had drifted along the water to the nearshore area. If it weren't for the shock of his mind just now, he might have crashed into a vast reed marsh.
The one who had named him for half a year, was just protruding from the reed marsh, and was holding a cup and a wine pot in his hand. His face was red, but his body was stiff and his embarrassing expression was very obvious.
Yu Ci felt a sense of emotion and listened at the moment. It turned out that there were really many people hidden in the depths of this reed marsh. Maybe there were some gatherings, laughter, singing, and drinking. The wind blew the reed flowers and the fragrance of wine was everywhere, but the fireworks were full of energy and lively.
It was also when he first arrived in Xiyuhu and was not used to the limitation of his consciousness and consciousness. His five senses and six consciousnesses were a little dull, otherwise he would not have discovered it until now.
As for the half-drunk monk, he had a thin figure, thin eyes and round face, and was not very eye-catching. Therefore, although he looked a little kind-faced, he couldn't remember it for a moment.
When he met Yu Ci's gaze, the monk was obviously shocked, and forced his cheeks, which were stiff due to excessive tension, and showed a smile. He was really twisted, which made Yu Ci's memory even more blurred.
At this time, the boat had swayed out of the reed marsh, and there were two people on it, but one was already in a vast and unknown thing, lying on the edge of the boat, and could even roll into the water. The other was conscious and laughed:
"Old, who should I call you?"
While he was talking, he had already seen Yu Ci, and was stunned for a moment before bowing and bowing: "This is..."
Although it was a gift to inquire, my eyes were actually looking at "Old Dong".
The latter took a while, and the red face and drunkenness dissipated. He felt that the wine utensils on his hands were in the way, so he simply threw them into the lake and was busy saluting Yu Ci.
Now even the fool knows that something is wrong with his mentality.
At this time, Yu Ci got the inspiration from the word "Dong": "Dong? You are from Cliff City!"
"Old Dong" was happy when he heard the sound and hurriedly bowed: "Yes, I am Dong Shan, Wusheng Jianmen, the Cliff City. I... I haven't seen the immortal for many years, and my style is even better than the past."
Now, Yu Ci completely remembered: "So it's Master Dong!"
When Yu Ci was "in charge of" the Cliff City, Dong Shan was the leader of Wusheng Sword Sect. At that time, he was on the same side as the leader of Bai Ri Mansion, but Yu Ci secretly persuaded him to fight back and surrender.
In my memory, this person is mostly gloomy and squinting, and his appearance is completely different from the image in front of him, so Yu Ci did not recognize him as soon as possible.
Meeting an old friend in a foreign land is somewhat of a happy event. Although the relationship between them was quite common back then, Yu Ci was still quite happy:
"Sect Master Dong is traveling to Jianbei?"
"I dare not be called the title of 'sect leader', so I don't know anything about it. As early as five years ago, I had already handed over the sect leader's responsibilities. Now I am just a casual cultivator and have lived in the north for a long time."
Yu Ci looked him up and down and smiled, "Fellow Daoist Dong is not contaminated with civil affairs, and his cultivation will be immediate. Congratulations, congratulations."
Dong Shan was so skillful in his swordsmanship back then, but his cultivation was only at the middle level of the alchemy. Now, in just 20 or 30 years, he has already been Bu Xu's cultivation level, and his progress is really amazing. Combined with his identity as a casual cultivator, it is even more valuable. Some disciples of the sect may not be able to compare with him in terms of cultivation speed.
In addition to qualifications and character, there may be other opportunities for sword cultivators to be brave and diligent.
Dong Shan was very self-aware and knew that no matter how fast he made progress, he was not qualified to gain weight in front of Yu Ci. He did not dare to say more, so he introduced Yu Ci to his companion who was extremely awkward.
Yu Ci learned from this that the other two people on the boat, the sober named Zeng Yue, and the one who had been drunk was Li Hui, who were both friends that Dong Shan had met in recent years, and his cultivation was only at the level of returning to the alchemy.
He was quite curious about the excitement in the reed marsh: "You guys are..."
Zeng Yue is a mature man with a relatively active temperament. He smiled and said, "The King of the North Sea Whale is having a banquet. Anyone who passes by can go in and taste wine. The rest are fine. The wine in this is made of the deep cold water of the 700-mile water layer under the Yuhu Lake. In this reed marsh, it collects the fragrance of plants and trees, drinks it cold and refreshing, and it is transparent and powerful. It should not be missed."
"Oh, I really need to try it."
Yu Ci was also in his heart, so he immediately turned the bow of the ship and stood with Dong Shan: "Why might you please attract me to see?"
Seeing Yu Ci's words so lightly, Zeng Yue blinked and turned his head to look at Dong Shan, but he didn't get any prompts.
Dong Shan didn't care about him. When he heard that Yu Ci was going to go, he nodded repeatedly, took a deep breath, and said, "I am driving the boat for Yu Xian."
Seeing that he was nervous, Yu Ci nodded no longer when she didn't want to stimulate him.
Dong Shan carefully passed the boat, drove the light boat, and walked into the reed marsh. At this moment, he turned his eyes to Zeng Yue again.
Zeng Yue only felt inexplicable. He was not a fool. He only looked at Dong Shan's attitude and knew that this "Yu Xiancai" was not an ordinary person. When Dong Shan introduced it, he just mentioned a surname vaguely, but it didn't seem to be cherishing his connections, but it seemed to be very afraid of it. Therefore, he took out the name of "Beihai Whale King" and spyed on Yu Ci's reaction. Unfortunately, he was still confused in the end.
But he didn't know that he was "a charming look for the blind man". Yu Ci was not very familiar with the masters in the North Three Lakes. Although the title of "Beihai Whale King" was very bold, it was not a little shocking.
Because of this doubt, he didn't understand what Dong Shan's eyes meant. In a daze, Yu Ci's light boat had already crossed one end and penetrated into the reeds in front of him.
Dong Shan was so anxious that his eyes were about to open his eyes, and finally he could only wave his mouth with force.
"Teng? It hurts...the light!"
Zeng Yue finally understood, and his heart suddenly twitched, and there was already a layer of white hair and fine sweat on his back. He didn't dare to be negligent, and when he made a mistake, the boat fell back from the same road, and then arrived first, overtaking half of the bow of the boat, and then in this space, he turned out a lantern to light it.
The lights were dim, but they pushed away the darkness in the reed marsh, splitting it into fragmented shadows, sprinkling on the edge of the halo.
Zeng Yue also cheered up his spirits, protected the body and expanded the evil spirit, separated the densely woven reeds, and opened up a narrow waterway to guide the ships behind him.
Dong and Zeng’s “communication” can naturally not be hidden from Yu Ci, and he is also a little curious:
"Is there any explanation for this lamp?"
As soon as this statement was made, Zeng Yue, who was lit up the lamp in front, almost breathed a sigh of relief. Dong Shan did not expect that Yu Ci didn't know about this very famous custom and ritual, so he couldn't explain it for a while, so he could only vaguely say:
"It's really the old custom of welcoming VIPs..."
Yu Ci smiled: "You privately define the guests and friends, can you tell the North Sea Whale King?"
Dong Shan was stunned. He thought of the look he might face soon, and he felt a little nervous. But when he thought about the ever-changing changes that day, his mind became more and more firm, and he asserted:
