Chapter 7 Chapter 6 The God of Salt Water

On the surging Han River, these five strange boats were racing to see who could go the fastest. The shape of these boats was special. They were not like ordinary wood, but rather carved out of earth and stone. It is full of colorful patterns, and under the sunlight, it looks quite beautiful. On the leading ship, there was a majestic man standing at the bow. At this moment, he was roaring loudly in the wind, full of aura, and his voice spread throughout the water, as if even the water patterns were shaken by his voice. On the boat behind, there were also a few people shouting and cursing loudly.

"Minister Wu, you brat, don't be complacent, our Fan family will not necessarily lose to you!" "What's so great about Bashi's ship? Our Xiangshi has been famous for shipbuilding since ancient times. Could it be that we still lost to you?" But the heroic man "Minister Wu" who was leading the boat ignored them, and just directed the clansmen to row the boat vigorously and continued to move forward. Suddenly, there was a loud crash, and among the four boats behind, a boat painted in red and black actually collapsed. The hull separated and disintegrated on the water like mud. The people on the boat yelled and fell into the water one after another.

It turned out that these boats were really made of mud. After driving on the river for a while, the mud and water melted together, and the whole boat collapsed when encountering big waves. The "Minister Wu" was even more proud, laughing loudly on the waves, and the mud boat he led slid even more vigorously. After a while, the remaining three mud boats behind him also disintegrated and sank one after another. The final victory The person, of course, is the "Minister of Affairs" of the Ba nationality. At this time, many people watching on the shore also began to cheer, shouting loudly: "I submit to you! I submit to you!"

The Yingwei man named "Wu Xiang" was even more happy. He raised a shining giant sword, stretched his arms back, and threw the giant sword out with a sound of "咻". Strong, with a sound of "Zheng", it was actually thrust into a big rock by the Han River. At this moment, his mud boat had already approached the place where Ning Xiaobai was sinking and floating, and he saw that "Tianjun" Wu Xiang had a clear face and piercing eyes, he was actually quite a handsome man. At this moment, he took a few glances at Ning Xiaobai who was floating in the water, then laughed, stretched out his long arms, and pulled Ning Xiaobai onto the mudboat.

"You little brother is really interesting. You appeared out of thin air. As soon as you appeared, I won the leader of the five surnames Ba, Fan, Qin, Xiang, and Zheng. It really brought me great luck. .” He was sitting on the mud boat, his long messy hair fluttering in the wind, adding to his heroic arrogance.When they reached the shore, people from all five ethnic groups crowded around happily and cheered loudly beside the Han River. It turned out that the people of these five tribes were barbarians located in the south of Bajun, and they all immigrated from Zhongli Mountain in Wuluo. Nabajun was the name of Chu more than a thousand years ago in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, so Ning Xiaobai really It has reached the "Han River of the past", and it is an ancient Han River of more than a thousand years.

According to what the Minister of Finance said, these Bajun clansmen came from the Red and Black Caves of Zhongli Mountain. The Ba clan to which the Minister of Finance belonged was born in Chicave, and the other four surnames were born in Heixue. At this moment, five surnames were selected. The main reason is that because the original living environment is no longer rich and fertile, it is necessary to find another new world suitable for the development of the five races. Ning Xiaobai has not forgotten the real mission of coming to this ancient time and space, but this Ba clan is a barbarian tribe thousands of years ago in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Their cultural level is not very high, and they don't know much about things other than farming and hunting. Concerned, Ning Xiaobai asked them if they had seen "Beast Kiss". The Ba clan was stunned, they didn't know what he was talking about, and asked them if they had seen any ethereal figures on the water, and so did everyone. At a loss.

Not long after, the people of the five clans had already prepared on the shore, boarded the simple ferry boat, and went down the Han River, passing through the Yi River. The final goal was to find a place called "Yanyang". . The land of Yanyang is a fertile land that Bashi's ancestors once visited. After years of legends, the descendants of the descendants no longer know the real location of this land, and only know to follow the Han River and the Yi River. Next, you may reach "Yanyang". However, when the fleet passed the shore of Yishui, in the early morning, there was a thick fog that could not be seen.

"Reporter" Wu Xiang looked at such a white and deep fog, showing a sad expression. He stood at the bow of the boat, quietly listening to the sound of the water waves in the fog beating the hull, and looking around, there was a vast expanse of whiteness between the sky and the earth. , I can't even see the face of the person opposite me clearly. From behind him, there were light and gentle footsteps at this time, and Wu Xiang didn't turn his head, because from the footsteps, he could hear who it was. A strange man whose identity and origin are as obscure as this thick fog.

"What a big fog." Ning Xiaobai said quietly: "It's rare to see such a big and deep fog." "My lord" the minister of affairs smiled. "Thinking about it now, I don't think I've ever asked you where you came from? Where are you from? I only know that your name is Ning Xiaobai," he smiled with an unfathomable expression. "Also, what is that 'beast kiss' you are looking for?" Ning Xiaobai pondered for a while, but he didn't know how to explain it to him. From the few days of getting along with him, he learned that the new leader of the five clans was not only powerful, but also thoughtful and clever. Kunlun and Longzi Yuanying explained to him a thousand years later, but it was a bit difficult to start.

Seeing his expression, Minister Wu smiled lightly and said, "Also, I heard that you are still looking for a 'god-man floating on the water', isn't that the god of water? Ordinary people like us, really Can you see the water god?" Ning Xiaobai shook his head. "The person I'm looking for may not be a water god, but I saw him once, and he was floating in the middle of the water at that time." "Have you seen him once?" Wu Xiang wondered, "Is there really a water god in this world? What does he look like? Is it ugly or handsome? Is it male or female?"

Ning Xiaobai thought about it seriously, recalling the Nine Dragon Mirror image he saw in the sky of Hanshui that day, but shook his head a little dejectedly. "Although I have seen the person I am looking for, I don't know what he looks like..." He smiled wryly, "I don't even know if there is such a person." In the silent fog, "Reporter" Minister Wu did not speak for a while, and for a moment, the two of them were silent to each other, only the rhythmic sound of water beating against the hull could be heard. After a while, Wu Xiang suddenly took a deep breath, the sound was not like a normal breathing, Ning Xiaobai looked at him a little surprised, but found that in the mist, Wu Xiang's eyes were wide open, straight staring behind him. "You...the person you are looking for..." Wu Xiang said with some difficulty: "Is it her?" Hearing this, Ning Xiaobai turned around in surprise, but saw behind the two of them, a large area of ​​mist had faded, and a large light curtain was reflected on the water. In the very center of the light curtain, stood a slender and ethereal figure. The figure was faintly visible, as if somewhat transparent, but its face and clothing could be seen clearly. Standing on the smooth surface of the mirror-like water was a beautiful woman with fair complexion and worried eyebrows. The blue hair on her head was as bright and clean as a waterfall, draped softly on her slender and beautiful shoulders. On her head was a bright red patterned belt. She was dressed in a moon-white robe, but her left arm was bare like a lotus root, which seemed to be shining white in the faint light of the light blue water mist. Ning Xiaobai was stunned, but he heard Wu Xiang muttering in his ears: "Is there really a water god in this world? Is there really a water god in this world?" At this time, the beautiful woman in the river walked lightly on the surface of the water, without even a splash of water, her feet were not wearing shoes, showing smooth bare feet, stepping barefoot on the crystal clear water, like a beautiful painting. of pictures. Ning Xiaobai thought about it carefully, thinking about the scene of seeing the reflection of the Nine Dragon Mirror that day, vaguely as if what he saw was the scene in front of him. Thinking of this, he laughed happily, feeling that he had finally solved a burden in his heart. This woman in the water should be the target he is looking for this time. At least, you can also ask the whereabouts of Longzi Yuanying from this woman, right? The Minister of Finance looked at his excited expression, and said lightly: "That is the person you are looking for, and she is also here to look for you, right? Why don't you go and talk to him?" Ning Xiaobai nodded, and jumped to where the woman came from. At last, his mind was still quick, and he suddenly remembered that although the beautiful woman was able to swim against the waves, the deep blue water in front of him But the genuinely deep river, he thought to himself that the woman did not have the ability to walk on the water, so of course he could only stop in embarrassment, waving his arms, and abruptly stopped his jumping into the water. The woman walked to the front of the ferry they were riding on, her eyes were misty, she seemed to be looking at Ning Xiaobai, and she seemed to be looking at some unknown place through him. "You..." Ning Xiaobai said hesitantly, "You know the whereabouts of 'Beast Kiss', don't you?" no answer. The woman still had her big and bright eyes open, as if she hadn't heard his question. Ning Xiaobai scratched his head, not knowing what to do, so he had to ask again: "I am Ning Xiaobai, Zike asked me to come, and you are here to show me how to find 'Longzi Yuanying' , isn’t it?” He thought for a moment, then asked again: “Who are you, can you tell me?” The woman frowned slightly and glared at him. "You're noisy!" she said impatiently, "Go away!" As soon as this remark came out, both the Prime Minister and Ning Xiaobai were taken aback. Both of them had preconceived that this woman was here to find Ning Xiaobai, but listening to her tone now, it seemed that they were concerned about Ning Xiaobai's mission. Know nothing. Moreover, before, her image was very elegant and clear, but when she got angry, it made people feel that it didn't match her elegant appearance. When Ning Xiaobai was called out by her, he was embarrassed to say anything else, only to see that the woman jumped into the boat lightly without causing any splashes, and ignored Ning Xiaobai, and went Just come to the gentleman. "I'm here to find you." The Minister of State Affairs is also an extraordinary person. Although the scene at this moment is a bit weird and mysterious, he does not have any unusual expressions, but just smiles lightly. "What do you want me for? Where is this place? Who are you?" The woman smiled sweetly and mischievously imitated Wu Xiang's tone, her voice was clear and pleasant. "Where is this? This is the shore of salt water. What are you? I am the goddess of salt water who is in charge here." Mr. Zi Junwu secretly cried out "Sure enough!" in his heart, but the expression on his face was quite relaxed. "So it's the goddess here, that's really good," he said with a relaxed smile, "But I don't know what advice the goddess has come here? We are trapped here, how can we get out?" The goddess of salt water giggled like a little girl, but a faint blush appeared on her face. "Let me tell you! I know all about where you are going, but what's so good about Yanyang? The river bank here is wide and wide, and what place can't compare with Yanyang?" Zijun raised his eyebrows and wanted to answer, but unexpectedly the goddess of salt water stretched her arms gently, embraced him, and kissed his lips affectionately. The Minister of State Affairs did not know whether it was irresistible, or he didn't want to resist at all, his whole body was limp, as if he couldn't even lift his hand. However, Ning Xiaobai, who was at the side at the moment, was embarrassed. He watched this beautiful spring scenery and wanted to leave, but he was on the same boat as the two of them. He had no other place to go, so he stuck out his tongue and leaned against the side of the boat, trying to stay as far away from the two people who were close as possible. After the goddess of salt water kissed the minister of affairs for a long time, she held his shoulders weakly and coquettishly, her face was full of amorous feelings, she winked like silk, and whispered in Ti Jun's ear: "I said! How wonderful, isn't it? The place is wide and big, and the fish salt is produced in abundance and good, why don't you stay and spend your life with me? You stay, okay?" However, the Prime Minister was not distracted by her passion. After hearing the soft-spoken and gentle request from the goddess of salt water, he gently pushed the goddess' soft and beautiful body away and shook his head. "No, I was entrusted by my people, and I should have taken them to Yanyang. Although your place is good, it is not the place they want to stay." The goddess of salt water looked at him sadly, with tears in her eyes. "Aren't you willing to do it for me?" The Prime Minister stared at her beautiful face, gritted his teeth for a long time, and let out a long breath. "If it's just me, of course. But I have the expectations of my people, but I can't let them down." The goddess of salt water is neither angry nor angry, she smiles softly, as if she has a well-thought-out plan. "You will promise, one day, you will promise..." Then she walked gently back to the surface of the water just like when she first appeared, and slowly disappeared in the thick mist. But Jun watched her back, as if thinking about thousands of thoughts in his heart, his majestic figure stood quietly at the bow, Ning Xiaobai stood a little far away from him, separated by a thick white mist, that The body shape is already a little blurred. The fog did not dissipate until the second day, and the fleet of the Ba clan was blocked by the fog and could not move forward for a while. In the afternoon, Ning Xiaobai took out the "Chen Bao" kit on his body and prayed silently. After that, a magic weapon named Dingfengqi appeared from Chen Bao's mouth. This Dingfeng Banner is a magic weapon that controls all winds, clouds and rains in all directions in the world. All wind, rain, cloud, and fog are covered by its magic power. The leading boat waved in front of it for a while, and the sudden thick fog gradually dissipated. However, when the fog cleared, it was already dark and dark. In such a dark night, of course it was impossible to set off, so the Ba clan's fleet had to stay here again, waiting for the next day's dawn before setting off. In the middle of the night, the goddess of salt water came again on the night dew. Her beautiful and plump body still made the gentleman irresistible. This time, her behavior was even bolder, so she stayed at the place where the gentleman was staying overnight. Making love with him, the passion almost melted the leader of Bashi. When it was dawn, she put on clothes on her plump and fair body, kissed the tender gentleman who was still limp after being passionate, walked out of the room, opened her arms, but turned into flying insects fluttering in the sky. Those flying insects were not just three or two, but tens of thousands, as if they filled the whole world, they appeared endlessly in the sky like clouds, covering the sun and everything else. people's sight. Compared with the heavy fog of the previous day, the flying insects flying all over the sky made it even more difficult for the fleet to move forward, and they couldn't see the scenery a few feet away. Ning Xiaobai and the members of the Ba clan were dumbfounded, and stayed on the boat for a long time before they called out to the Minister of State Affairs. But in the face of the largest group power in the world, there is nothing to do with the king and minister. Ning Xiaobai immediately remembered the treasure "Chen Bao" in his arms, but this time he prayed a lot, but "Chen Bao" was no longer silent No interest. This kind of cloud of insects always dissipates late at night. After dissipating, the goddess of salt water will come again, and likewise spend the whole night with the gentleman, and turn into flying insects again the next morning, also covering the sky with clouds. , covering the entire world. In this way, she came and went, went and came again, and when she disappeared, the sky was full of flying insects, and when the flying insects disappeared, it was always late at night when she could not leave. After more than ten days like this, Zijun, Ning Xiaobai, and the Ba clan were all very anxious, and Zijun also begged the goddess of salt water many times beside his pillow, begging her to let the Ba clan go forward . However, this amorous goddess never answered, just smiled mysteriously, and then shook her head gently. One afternoon after seven days and seven nights, Jun Jun and Ning Xiaobai stood side by side in front of the insect cloud in the Han River, looking at the flying insects covering the sky, the two were thoughtful and did not speak for a while. After a long time, Jun Jun finally said softly: "She loves me very much, doesn't she?" Ning Xiaobai was startled, glanced at him, and nodded slowly. The gentleman sighed, his voice full of helpless sentimentality. "I love her very much too. Every day and every night, every time I spend more time with her, I become more in love with her." Ning Xiaobai smiled narrowly. "It's a beautiful thing for two people to be happy. What's there to sigh about?" Zijun looked at the boundless insect clouds in the sky, with a desolate expression on his face. "If it's just me, I'll never let her down, really, I'll never let her down!" There was deep sorrow on his handsome face. "It's just that, after all, I'm still the 'lord' of the clansmen, not myself..." Slowly, the Minister of State Affairs took a blue ribbon from his body, raised his right hand high, holding one end of the ribbon, and let the long ribbon fly away with the swarm of insects and the strong wind. Then, he shouted into the boundless cloud of worms. "Go and tell your goddess! Tell her that this blue ribbon is very beautiful, and you want her to tie it around her flawless neck. Please tell her that I have promised. I want to live and die with her, and we will never be separated from each other forever." , please take this green ribbon with you!" His words spread far and wide on the river and in the cloud of insects. With a light release from his hand, the blue ribbon swayed in the wind, slowly fluttered in the air, flew higher and higher, and finally disappeared. Ning Xiaobai stood aside, seeing the tragic and unbearable expression on Zijun's face, he couldn't help being agitated. "If she knows your deep affection, she will definitely be moved by you! Even a secular woman in the world, knowing that you have sacrificed so much for her, even a heart made of iron and stone, will be moved by you." He murmured. But his blood surged up, and he suddenly raised a sense of pride, "Don't worry about your people, after you stay, I will do my best to take them to Yanyang, even if it delays my time to find Longzi Yuanying, I want to help you do this too!" However, the gentleman did not answer, but just showed an intriguing expression, looking up at the sky. All of a sudden, the sound of flying insects flapping between the sky and the earth suddenly stopped. Although the sky was still full of flying insects, but faintly, a passage was opened in the east, and a light-colored cloud of insects appeared . And in the center of the light-colored cloud of insects, a strand of black hair can be vaguely seen. The Goddess of Salt Water has received the message from the gentleman! Affectionately, she really followed the instructions of the gentleman, and wore the blue ribbon that her lover sincerely gave her! Ning Xiaobai also saw the faint blue color in the worm cloud, and knew that the amorous goddess had learned that her lover had agreed to spend this life with her, and when she was moved, she heard a slight "buzzing" sound behind her. He turned around in surprise, but saw that Jun had already taken off his shirt, revealing his strong muscles, holding the bow in his left hand, setting up a long arrow in his right hand, and drawing the bowstring. At this moment, Ning Xiaobai's pupils contracted, and only then did he realize the real intention of the minister of affairs. It turns out that the blue silk does not represent deep affection! It turns out that the blue silk represents the deception that men in the world are best at. I saw that Jun turned around gently, and aimed the feather arrow at the spot where the black hair was. Then, he said softly: "Don't blame me, because I am not alone, but the 'reporter' of the Ba clan..." At this time, Ning Xiaobai couldn't help shouting: "Don't..." The voice didn't stop, but it was already too late. Only a sound of "Zheng" was heard, and the string was exhausted, and the feathered arrow was entangled with endless love, resentment and infatuation, and shot into the distance smoothly like electricity. Then, as if something broke in the distance, there was a soft "poof" sound from afar. Then, like a color that was quickly soaked, the entire sky that was covered by insect clouds suddenly became brighter like magic. After the sky opened wide, the Ba clan cheered loudly and untied the ropes one after another to anchor. In a short while, the fleet had already set sail. Ning Xiaobai looked at Jinjun with an angry face, and wanted to scold him, but saw this tough man with a hard heart, but his cheeks were already covered with tears. The Bashi family's fleet sailed slowly towards the east, and after a while, on a huge boulder far ahead, the goddess of salt water with long sleeves fluttering, lay on the rock as if asleep, her face as bright as red. Sheng, although his eyes are closed, but there is a slight smile on his lips. And on her smooth and perfect neck was tied the blue ribbon given by the gentleman, and on the knot of that ribbon was deeply nailed a feathered arrow that passed through her neck. The staring eyes gradually get closer and farther away as the boat travels. But Zijun just stood on the boat in a daze, but didn't even look at her. Seeing this scene, Ning Xiaobai felt a burst of anger rise from the bottom of his heart for no reason, and when he was about to scold him loudly, the "Chen Bao" in his arms began to emit a faint blue light. Then, before he had time to react, his whole body floated lightly into the air. The members of the Ba clan on the side exclaimed loudly, and some wanted to stretch out their hands to pull him, and the response from the Minister of State Affairs was extremely fast. One jumped up and wanted to catch Ning Xiaobai, but it was just a little bit short, and he I missed it. Because his floating movement was too abrupt and the fleet was so fast, the Naba fleet had already gone away in a short time, drifting with the surging river to the place where they will live and live in the future. But the "Chen Bao" on Ning Xiaobai took him with him, but wandered leisurely and brought him to the huge rock where the goddess of salt water was. With a "pop", Ning Xiaobai stepped onto the huge rock, and before he could scream out, he saw the "corpse" of the goddess of salt water gradually emitting a hazy white light. But in that light, at this moment, a girl's figure appeared. The girl had only a faint figure at first, but as the body of the goddess of salt water gradually disappeared, her figure became more and more clear. The girl's body was naked, and she wasn't wearing any clothes. Her hands were embracing, but what she was holding was a ring-shaped glowing thing. When the image became clearer, Ning Xiaobai couldn't help screaming: "Beast kiss!" What the girl was holding in her arms turned out to be the first "Dragon Son Nascent Soul"! The light gradually fades, and the girl turns from nothingness to reality. Ning Xiaobai saw that she was not wearing a single strand, so he quickly took off his shirt and put it on her body. The girl glanced at him quietly, but what she said was shocking. "I'm Qing Chu'er. I was absorbed by the goddess of salt water and sealed in her body for thousands of years," she handed the "beast kiss" to Ning Xiaobai. "This is the first Dragon Child Nascent Soul we are looking for: 'Beast Kiss'." Ning Xiaobai took the "Beast Kiss" tremblingly, but a soft and strange breeze began to blow around the two of them. In the breeze, the scenery, sound, and smell are gradually distorted. When Ning Xiaobai came to this era, he had already experienced such an experience. On the other hand, Qing Chu'er didn't show any expression, she just looked at the front calmly. When the distorted feeling faded away, Ning Xiaobai found himself on the Han River again, and the place where he was standing was the deck of a big ship. What appeared in front of my eyes was the surprised and curious eyes of Zi Ke and the Qin soldiers. Zike was overjoyed when he saw Ning Xiaobai and Qing Chuer appear suddenly, and then he was even more overjoyed when he saw the "beast kiss" on Ning Xiaobai's hand. But for the "Clean Vase Lily" in his hand, the deep red has almost soaked the entire petal, almost reaching the stem. "It's not too late," Zi Ke said in a deep voice, "Next, we are going to Weiguo."
