Folklore: The baby starts the game, and the mother takes off her painted skin

Chapter 211: Strangeness on the Chu River [asking for monthly tickets]

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"

Before Liu Bai had time to land, he heard such strange ghost noises coming from all around him.

Taoist Xiao Suan was surrounded by black shadows the size of human heads, which kept circling around him.

He lit the fire, his face was calm, and he kept swinging his hands. Every time he threw it, a life fire talisman was thrown out and hit the black shadows, preventing them from getting close.

And it was these dark shadows that made the ghostly sounds.

After Liu Bai landed on the ground, he suddenly lit up and cast "Pulling Red Thread", instantly forming a larger red circle around the black shadows.

In an instant, a person wearing blue clothes and with a tall stature suddenly walked out from the plaque behind the Shancifang.

As soon as he appeared, he immediately covered his eyes, his face in pain, and cried out:

"You are an evil person, you are blessed with great fortune and luck, you have a powerful background and you are unscrupulous. You cannot be killed, you cannot be killed..."

As he spoke, he actually spat out a mouthful of blood and then waved his hand.

"Run faster, brothers."

After saying this, he bumped into the stone steps next to him and disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, the dark shadows surrounding Taoist Xiao Suan also floated out from the gaps in Liu Bai's red rope.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Before they even landed on the ground, they scattered in all directions. Although they were stumbling, they were moving very fast.

"kill!"

At Liu Bai's command, his figure turned into wildfire and swept forward, directly catching the slowest runner, Yimuwu.

Although Taoist Xiao Suan said before that killing one is useless.

But Liu Bai also thought about killing one first and seeing how it goes.

So the wildfire enveloped the one-eyed man in gray clothes, and Liu Bai couldn't tell what its strength was.

All I know is that after being enveloped by the pitch-black wildfire, it struggled and tore for a breath or two, and then gave up resistance.

His body was naturally burned into ashes by Liu Bai's wildfire and fell down.

Liu Bai landed on the ground, looked at the dust blown away by the evening breeze, and said in a deep voice: "Separate and chase them. Kill them if you meet them. I don't believe that killing them will not cost you anything!"

"it is good."

Liu Bai gave the order, and Taoist Xiao Suan did not hesitate or object at all.

In his opinion, since God has given the oracle, the only thing he needs to do is... follow it.

The two men, one in front and one behind, each chased after the fleeing Yimuwu.

Liu Bai walked out of a street and took a step to complete the transformation between human and ghost.

He did not wander around the town, but flew up, floating in the air and looking down.

Under the pitch-black night, it was as bright as day in Liu Bai's eyes.

He looked around and did not see the one-eyed man in green with eyes. Instead, he saw a blind one-eyed man.

Without the guidance of the sighted man ahead, he stumbled in the alley and finally had to hide in a pigpen, shivering.

"Xiao Cao, go and kill it. I'll stay here and see if it will show up somewhere else after you kill it."

Xiaocao, who was lying on Liu Bai's shoulder and looking at him curiously, couldn't help but point his finger at himself after hearing this, and then made an exaggerated gesture.

"what?"

"I?"

After saying that, it quickly waved its hands and said, "Little grass can't do these kinds of things, it's too rough, little grass can't do it."

After saying this, even his brain started shaking.

"What's the use of you!"

As Liu Bai spoke, he also thought of another skill he possessed, the "Storing Dead Souls" skill he acquired from deep in the well.

If I could accumulate a dead soul, I would have a free thug, just like driving a corpse.

In this way, we won’t be like now, raising a useless little grass.

Seeing that Liu Bai was about to do it himself, the hurt Xiaocao said sourly: "Although Xiaocao can't kill Yimuwu, I know how to find it."

Liu Bai stopped and asked, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

"Sir, you don't even ask me. You only have your little Taoist priest in your heart now. Sigh..."

Xiaocao sounded extremely aggrieved and was almost in tears.

Liu Bai: "..."

"Okay, stop pretending and tell me."

Seeing that Liu Bai's voice had become much heavier, Xiao Cao muttered, "Although this Mu Wu is hidden deep, there is still a way."

"If you were strong enough, like that old man Zhang Cang, you would be able to see the location of this eye five at a glance, but unfortunately you don't."

"Stop talking nonsense."

As for the grass's mouth, Liu Bai sometimes really wanted to tear it apart, and sometimes wanted to seal it.

"Well, in fact, as long as you rub the ashes of the four eyeless and one-eyed five-headed ghosts on your eyelids, you will naturally be able to see the traces of the four ghosts."

"Once you have killed all four of the Eyeless One-Eyed Five, they will naturally return to the One-Eyed Five with Eyes."

"By that time, even if you can't see the one with eyes, you can still tell that it is in front of the one without eyes."

Xiaocao told the truth of the whole matter in one breath.

Liu Bai cursed it again for not saying it earlier.

Finally, Xiaocao said... He has a small brain and he just remembered it now.

Otherwise, I would have said it long ago.

Liu Bai fell from mid-air. This time he did not use Yin Lei. Instead, he pulled Yimuwu out of the pigpen. Then he squeezed his forehead hard and crushed it into ashes.

Then, before the ashes even fell to the ground, he had already collected them into Sumeru.

Immediately he returned to the entrance of Shancifang and collected the ashes that had fallen to the ground.

In this way, two copies have been collected.

Taoist Xiao Suan started the fire again. It seemed that he had found another blind man with one eye and five eyes.

In this way, three of the four were killed.

Liu Bai tapped the ground with his feet, and his figure floated up in the night again. He looked down from above, but this time he could not find any trace of the ghost.

I think he has already found a place to hide and would never show up.

During this time, Liu Bai also saw that Taoist Xiao Suan was holding a chicken feather and constantly identifying and searching for the direction.

The chicken feathers are real chicken feathers, and you can't find them even if you look for them.

But at this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the Shanwu Hall, and the shouts of young people were heard.

Taoist Xiao Suan also noticed it, picked up the chicken feathers and rushed over.

After he left, Liu Bai stopped moving and just looked down from the air.

But just when Taoist Xiao Suan arrived at the Shanwu Hall, Liu Bai suddenly saw an illusory figure rushing out from the back door.

Then it disappeared to the north of Wangshui Town, as if it wanted to leave Yunzhou and go to Jiangzhou?
Liu Bai chased after it, he didn't know whether it was the eyeless one-eyed monster.

In short, he just struck the empty space with a bolt of lightning. As expected, it hit nothing, but it also forced the figure to appear.

He was wearing green clothes, and there were three figures following him hand in hand.

It turned out to be this One-Eyed Five, and he brought his family with him and three other One-Eyed Fives without eyes.

"Run, run, run!"

The One-Eyed Man had no intention of resisting. After dispersing his three good brothers, he did not wait for them to escape.

Liu Bai was struck by another bolt of lightning.

This time it actually hit the top of the head of the one-eyed and five-eyed man.

It shuddered and fell to the ground, just like the matchmaker last time, its skin and flesh were torn apart. Before Liu Bai could continue, its body seemed to turn into spilled water and seeped into the ground.

Liu Bai still struck down with thunder, but there was no response at all.

It slipped away again.

Behind him, Taoist Xiao Suan also heard the noise here and chased out from the town.

Liu Bai's figure flashed away, and just as he returned to the town, he heard the noise again.

And the source of this sound... is the Fulai Inn at the entrance of the town!
There were traces of ignition there.

Where did the last one, Eyeless and One-Eyed Five, escape to?
Liu Bai's body fell straight down, and when he landed on the ground, he had transformed from a ghost into a human.

When he arrived at the door of Fulai Inn, he saw the real situation inside.

Although Qi Kang lit the fire, he curled up in the corner, with blood oozing from the corner of his mouth and a large footprint on his chest.

Even in the night wind, his life flame was flickering, as if it would be extinguished at any time.

In the middle of the room, there was a hunched man in black. Although he was covered in dust and dirt, there was a huge vertical eye in the middle of his face.

In the blink of an eye, the entire vertical eye was pitch black.

There were even faint wisps of black smoke floating out from inside. It was breathing heavily, and its body shape was moving up and down.

It was also the first time that Liu Bai saw that this aimless One-Eyed Creature could actually grow vertical eyes.

What is this means?
When he leaned out of the door, he attracted the attention of the man in the room, who suddenly turned around and looked over.

Liu Bai smiled slightly, the vertical eye in the middle of his face tightened, as if he was frightened, and then he thought about escaping.

Ten red ropes had burned out from between Liu Bai's hands, and they grabbed the limbs and neck of the man from behind, directly holding him.

Seeing this, Qi Kang, who was lying in the corner, simply rolled his eyes and fainted.

Liu Bai gradually exerted strength with both hands, as if he wanted to cut Muwu into pieces.

But this time, Muwu was even more decisive, as if he saw that he had no chance to escape, so he gave up resistance, died and turned into a handful of ashes.

Liu Bai stepped forward and collected the ashes.

In this way, three of the four Yimuwu ashes were in his possession, and as for the remaining one, Taoist Xiaosuan was very capable and would definitely know how to put it away.

Liu Bai glanced at Qi Kang in the corner again, and after confirming that he was just unconscious and not dead, he didn't bother to care about him anymore.

After leaving the inn, he stepped onto the roof and performed the "Within a Step" magic again, which had the meaning of "one step to a thousand miles".

After walking only a few steps, he found the Taoist priest Xiao Suan who was patrolling in the alley.

"Son."

Seeing Liu Bai land on the ground, Taoist Xiao Suan hurriedly bowed and saluted.

"Have you collected the ashes of the Yimuwu you killed?" Liu Bai asked directly without any hesitation.

"Received."

Taoist Xiao Suan handed over an oilcloth bag. Liu Bai opened it and found some ashes inside. He also took out his three portions, and finally put them all into a jar, shaking them slightly to mix them.

Taoist Xiao Suan didn't understand Liu Bai's intention, but he didn't ask. He just watched silently.

"Alright, sir."

Said Xiaocao who came up with the idea.

Liu Bai took off the stopper from the jar and said, "Apply this on your eyelids and you will be able to see the traces of the one-eyed five."

"What? So magical?"

Taoist Xiao Suan hurriedly took out a jade box and took a full box from Liu Bai's jar.

"Go find it first. Once you find it, don't rush to do anything. Call me."

As Liu Bai spoke, he took some ashes and smeared them on his eyelids.

As soon as he touched it, he found that there seemed to be a layer of gray film in front of his eyes, but through this film, he did not find anything unusual.

"Let's go and look for it."

Liu Bai said and went straight to the north. The one who had just seen him was thinking of escaping, and now he was probably outside the town.

He left the town, and Taoist Xiao Suan continued searching in the town.

With Liu Bai's method, the search would be much faster. Just by walking through the street, he would know whether Yimuwu was hiding there. At most, he would have to go into the house, which would take a little more time.

Liu Bai left the town and went to the place where the incident took place. When he saw no trace of the enemy, he headed north again.

But after walking to many places, I didn't see any trace of it.

In desperation, he had to return to the town and look for Taoist Xiao Suan.

Taoist Xiaosuan didn't find him either, but he did tell fortunes, and the fortune showed that Yimuwu had left Wangshui Town long ago.

Moreover, he went straight to the north, probably intending to cross the Chu River and head to Jiangzhou.

"Didn't you say that if you provoke me, I won't run away?"

"This……"

Taoist Xiao Suan wanted to say... Who knew that you, sir, had such a powerful background that you actually scared away all these people.

But in the final analysis, I still don't dare to say this.

"This Muwu knows we are also going to Jiangzhou. They will probably wait for us ahead or attack us on the way. You better be careful, young master."

Liu Bai looked around again, looking at Wangshui Town, "Why not just leave overnight and see if we can meet him on the road."

"it is good."

Since Yimuwu is no longer in Wangshui Town, there is naturally nothing worth delaying in this small town.

Immediately, Taoist Xiao Suan took out the paper carriage, threw it on the ground, and it suddenly grew bigger. The two of them got on the carriage, and soon they drove towards the north in the night.

It was not until dawn that Qi Kang, the ghost walker who had fainted in the Fulai Inn, slowly woke up.

When he opened his eyes, he found that there was a jade eyeball in front of him.

It seems to move, like a living thing.

Also at dawn, Liu Bai noticed that the surrounding wilderness was becoming increasingly wetter. Often, after walking for not long, he would see a puddle on the side of the road.

Not only that, the road beneath their feet also became increasingly muddy. It looked only slightly damp, but when the carriage ran over it, water seeped out.

Not only that, Liu Bai also found that the air was more humid.

All these signs indicate that the Chu River is just ahead.

Liu Bai even stood up from the carriage several times and looked towards the horizon, but he didn't see it.

They continued walking like this for about an hour. The sky was still dark, but half of the wheels of the paper carriage were already sunk into the ground.

Taoist Xiao Suan then pulled the reins and stopped, "Sir, I'm afraid we can only get down and walk."

As he spoke, his face looked quite heavy.

Liu Bai also noticed something unusual. The road to Chu River seemed to be too muddy.

This situation often occurs in spring and summer.

This kind of situation would only occur during the flood season of the Chu River, but now it has only been a short time since the New Year.

It’s the middle of winter, so where does the flood season come from?
Not only that, Liu Bai had just got off the carriage when he found raindrops falling on his hands. He looked up and saw that a large dark cloud had gathered in the sky. In just a breath of time, bean-sized raindrops had already crackled on the carriage shed.

"Let's get out of the way first."

Although Liu Bai had an oil-paper umbrella, why would he need one now that he had the carriage?

The two of them hurriedly got into the carriage. The rain soon got heavier and poured down on the carriage. Liu Bai looked through the gaps in the window and saw the rain gathering outside to form a curtain of rain.

"Sir, this Chuhe is a bit strange. I'm afraid there are a lot of extra details here."

"There is nothing strange in this world."

Liu Bai stretched out his hand and immediately retracted it, but his hands were already wet with the rain.

"The yin energy is not that bad, it's just ordinary rain."

"How about I tell your fortune?" suggested the Taoist priest.

Liu Bai glanced at him and asked, "Can you really tell fortunes casually?"

"This..." Taoist Xiao Suan scratched his head, "I'm not going to lie to you, sir. To be honest, one divination a day has a small impact. If you do it too much, the impact will be greater."

"But it doesn't matter. The final fate of the Taoists in our Tianji Temple is to die in Tianji."

"This is our destiny."

"Bullshit, isn't it different for Taoist Dasuan?"

"Master, he is indeed a little different, but I don't know what exactly, he can't say."

"Alright, from now on, follow me and do as little calculation as possible. Didn't you see that your master gave you a Taoist name called Xiao Suan?"

Liu Bai just said it casually, but Taoist Xiao Suan was stunned after hearing it.

It was as if he just understood and reacted... So, when Master gave himself the name Xiaosuan, was this really what he meant?
The heavy rain came quickly and went away quickly. In just a moment, the rain stopped.

Liu Bai lifted the curtain and walked out. At first glance, he almost thought he had walked into the wrong place.

The ground where some roads could be seen just now has now become a vast ocean.

Although some wild grass can still be seen growing on the water surface, there is really no trace of the road leading to the Chu River.

Not only that, Liu Bai bent down and looked, and saw that most of the wheels of the carriage were stuck in the mud.

“This thing can’t leave.”

Liu Bai said this while standing on the shaft of the cart and looking around. He was thinking of finding a mountain spirit... Oh no, now on the bank of the Chu River, it should be called a river monster.

He wanted to find a river monster to use as a mount to travel.

For example, the Pig Dragon is quite suitable.

"There should be a way, otherwise we wouldn't be unable to cross the river." After coming out, Taoist Xiao Suan took out his compass, put his index and middle fingers together, wrote a few words on it, then looked around with the compass, and quickly said, "Don't worry, sir, there is a way."

The two men immediately put away the paper carriage. Taoist Xiao Suan led the way in front, while Liu Bai lit the fire and used the magic "Within a Chi" before he even landed on the water.

Taoist Xiao Suan could only envy when he saw this. His life fire was precious, and he was unwilling to burn it so casually.

What is burning is the fire of life, in fact, it is your own life!
Liu Bai went southwards, walking on water without leaving any traces. He indeed saw several river monsters on the way.

One was a shriveled turtle, huddled in the mud. When it saw Liu Bai coming, it quickly retracted its head.

The other was an unknown water bug, rolling around in the shallow water, covered in mud like a maggot.

The remaining one was a loach spirit. From a distance it looked like it was eating something. When it saw Liu Bai coming, it quickly dug a hole and burrowed into the ground.

They are not very powerful, at most they are just ordinary evil spirits.

Liu Bai did not take any action. Instead, he went all the way south and actually found the road that Taoist Xiao Suan mentioned.

A stone road paved with huge stones runs all the way north from this shore, as if it reaches the Chu River directly.

He waited here for a while, and Taoist Xiao Suan came over with one foot deep and one foot shallow. Although he didn't light a fire, he seemed to have used some means and ran very fast.

The two of them met up and walked north on the stones.

"This stone road should have been laid by the River Patrol Office back then, but I don't know what the River Patrol Office is like now." Taoist Xiao Suan said casually.

As for the River Patrol Office he mentioned, Liu Bai also knew that it was the river management office of the Great Chu. Basically, there would be a River Patrol Office in every major river within the territory of the Great Chu.

Among them, the Chuhe River Patrol Office has the greatest power and responsibility. The highest official of the River Patrol Office is called "Chuhe Governor", who holds the third rank.

"The Chu River patrol office is in Jiangzhou across the river, right? If you want to see it, you have to go there."

"Based on the current situation, I'm afraid it's not going to work... The Chu River flooded in winter, which is obviously a big problem. It's not far from the river patrol office, but now there's no sign of a patrol to solve the problem. It's going to be difficult."

"Yes, the evil spirits in the rivers, lakes and seas are much more difficult to deal with than those in the mountains and forests."

What Liu Bai said was not groundless, but real facts.

Firstly, there are more monsters in this water area, and secondly, even if these ghosts go into the water, they are difficult to deal with, so this situation has become the case over time.

"Well, don't worry, sir. Before I left, Taoist Da Suan gave me a Three Mountains River Suppression Talisman, so I can definitely cross the Chu River."

Taoist Xiao Suan started to plant flags before they even set out, which made Liu Bai a little panicked.

The two walked north for about a mile and finally saw a high raised mud area in front of them, which was no longer a puddle of water.

"I didn't expect that the river bank could be higher."

The two of them were standing on the sand by the river, and looking out, they saw a wide river that had no end in sight.

In comparison, the Shenqian River that Liu Bai had visited before seemed like a small stream in front of it.

"It's a pity that I haven't cultivated a second life yet, otherwise I could take you there with me."

Taoist Xiao Suan always takes these things upon himself out of habit.

Liu Bai looked at the endless Chu River and wondered how long it would take him to fly over there.

"Let me first calculate where there is a ferryman nearby."

As Taoist Xiao Suan said this, he took out a tortoise shell from Xumi, but at this moment, the two of them turned their heads and looked towards the east.

On the bank of the lower reaches of the Chu River, several men in short shirts were walking up, talking and laughing, most of them holding catches in their hands, and they seemed to be fishermen who made a living from the Chu River.

Liu Bai squinted his eyes and saw that they were still wearing short shirts in the middle of winter... They were not the kind of people who could start fires. It was probably because of the tattoos on their bodies.

Liu Bai and the other man met them here, and they naturally saw Liu Bai as well, and subconsciously stopped in their tracks.

He even turned around and thought about running away.

Liu Bai lit up and stepped forward, and was in front of them in one step. Taoist Xiao Suan also reacted quickly and arrived behind these people at the same time as Liu Bai.

"Sir, you... you are here?"

The leading middle-aged man with tattoos all over his body asked in a low voice.

"Is there any ferryman around here?"

The Taoist priest Xiao Suan behind him asked.

The man turned around again and asked, "Master, do you want to go to Jiangzhou across the street?"

"Ah."

A man who only had a tattoo on his right hand took over the conversation and said, "In the past, when the River Patrol Office was still in charge, there were many ferrymen traveling between Jiangzhou and our Yunzhou."

"But now that the River Patrol Office has lost its message, it can't control the Chu River, and the ferrymen who come and go are either dead or escaped."

Taoist Xiao Suan frowned, "So what's going on with the exchanges between these two states now?"

"Under the current situation, ordinary people like us naturally don't think about this matter. Most of the people who come and go now are ghost walkers. They either prepare their own boats to cross the river, or seek help from the Lord River God."

"Lord River God?" Liu Bai glanced at Taoist Xiao Suan and found that the latter also had a surprised look.

I guess it must be a god that has only appeared in recent years.

But the river god of the Chu River must be extremely powerful, right?

I wonder how many Zhang Cangs I can defeat?

"Yes, our Hewan Village also worships the River God. If the two Zou Yin masters want to cross the river, they can go to the River God Temple in our village to burn incense, and the River God will send someone to pick you up."

"Oh?"

After hearing this, Taoist Xiao Suan became a little hesitant. He couldn't make up his mind about this matter, so he turned his gaze to Liu Bai again.

"Let's go. I'll trouble you guys."

Liu Bai went out this time originally to see the world, and now that he has this opportunity, he will not miss it.

"Please lead the way."

Taoist Xiao Suan was still polite and even before they set off, he had already given a piece of silver to the leading villager.

As for how to divide it, it is a matter between them.

Soon, Liu Bai and the other person followed the villagers and headed west along the river bank.

Taoist Xiao Suan also asked why the river bank was so much higher than the mudflat next to it.

Speaking of this, the villager laughed a little.

"There was nothing like this in previous years. There are endless tidal flats like this. Every time the flood season comes, it is the people on both sides of the strait who suffer."

The tattooed man sighed and said, "Fortunately, we have the River God. He helped us build the river embankment, which saved us from the suffering of the river flood."

When Liu Bai heard this, he subconsciously had some other thoughts.

If this is really the case, it might be a different situation... There is no demand, but we can create it.

The group walked west for about three or four miles and finally saw a village built of mud houses in a backwater bend.

The village looks quite big. The river bank is connected to the river beach inside. At a glance, there are probably hundreds of houses.

"This is our River God Temple. The priest inside is surnamed Huang. We all call him Old Man Huang. You two can just go in and talk to him."

After saying this, he bowed again and then led the rest of the villagers away.

Liu Bai looked in the direction of the river temple he pointed. It was located on the river bank and was different from other houses with mud walls and black tiles.

This river temple is made of the finest green tiles, and the walls are also covered with white putty.

From a distance, I could see smoke curling around inside, which seemed to indicate that the temple was very popular.

"Come on, let's go take a look."

Liu Bai led the way and the two of them walked a few steps to the river god temple. Before they could enter the house, a man in a yellow short coat and with gray hair came out. He was leaning on a cane in his hand.

"Are you two going to cross the river?"

"Exactly."

Taoist Xiao Suan stepped forward and bowed.

"Just follow me."

Old man Huang glanced at the two of them, then turned and went back into the house. After Liu Bai and the other two followed him in, he already had three incense sticks in his hand.

"Light a stick of incense and place two white beads on the plate. Wait until dark, and a ferry will come to pick you up."

"Oh?"

Taoist Xiao Suan muttered, "May the Blessings of Heaven be born infinitely, that is really convenient."

As he spoke, he took out two white beads and placed them on the porcelain plate on the altar. The white beads fell on the jade plate with a tinkling sound.

Then, after he finished burning the incense, the two white beads disappeared right before his eyes.

Old Man Huang said, "Lord River God has agreed. You two should not stray too far away. When it gets dark, Lord River God will send someone to pick you up."

Taoist Xiaosuan agreed.

The two were delayed on the road for quite a while and it was already noon.

I didn't run around anymore. I just ate some dry food in front of the river temple and waited for the ferry to arrive after dark.

By evening, wisps of smoke rose from the village and lights were lit in many houses.

As the sky gradually darkened, the temple keeper came out to remind people that the ferry would soon arrive.

Liu Bai and the other person got up and went to the river bank to wait. Before they had even had a cup of tea, they saw a small black boat floating over from the foggy river.

The first one was an old man wearing a straw raincoat, who sat cross-legged at the bow, holding a paddle in each hand, rowing and rowing, and soon the black-covered boat was close.

Liu Bai also just saw that there was a white lantern hanging on the stern with the word "death" written on it, and there was also an osprey on the deck.

"Come on board."

The one who spoke was not the fisherman, but the osprey at the stern.

Liu Bai looked at the strange boat, and suddenly the scenes he had read in "Notes from the Silent Cottage" came to his mind.

This boatman...if nothing unexpected happens, he should be the "Osprey Man" who makes a living by the river?
Aren't they all fishermen who make a living by salvaging river monsters? How come they turned out to be the people of the river god and even did the job of ferrymen?
"Hurry up! If you delay, you won't be able to get to Jiangzhou tonight."

The Osprey at the stern urged.

Liu Bai then jumped lightly onto the small black boat.

Taoist Xiao Suan followed closely behind him and landed beside him. The boat shook slightly for a moment, but was then stabilized by the boatman at the bow. He then rowed the boat, made a turn, and headed to the opposite side, into the depths of the fog.

"Go inside, so you don't see something you shouldn't see and get dragged into the river. Rescuing people... that's another price."

The osprey flapped its wings and spoke sinisterly.

Liu Bai was not tall, and he entered the cabin by just lowering his head slightly.

Hey, there's already someone inside.
