The best water fairy of crossing

Chapter 58
A falcon will never let go of any prey it wants.

Yanhuo looked down at the earth, waiting for the arrival of the two prey with confidence.

He never trusts anyone, but he will use all valuable people or demons.Ji Wuxie has ambitions, he wants to be the next emperor.But he was too vicious, that's why his father gave the throne to Ji Shaofan.

From then on, he hated all human races, and he wanted to destroy them, because only death could satisfy his hatred.

Yanhuo knew this very well, and took advantage of it.Sometimes, hatred is the best motivator.

When Ruoshui and Ji Baiyu rushed to Daxing City, it was already dark.It was still a day's journey from Kunlun, and they were very tired, so they decided to rest here.

Daxing City is not lively. It is said to be a city, but in fact there are only a few hundred families.Ji Baiyu and the others tried to find an inn to rest their feet, but they couldn't find an inn that could accommodate passers-by.

As night fell, no family in the city was willing to accept strangers.Ruoshui lowered his head, and the negative emotions that had disturbed him for several days now hit his heart again.

Ji Baiyu knew that she was tired, so he squeezed her hand comfortingly, trying to cheer her up.

"Don't worry, I'm fine! Let's go ahead and have a look!" Ruoshui forced a smile.

They walked a few more houses, turned around a few narrow alleys, and suddenly saw a large house hidden among willows.

Ji Baiyu stepped forward and knocked on the door, and soon someone opened the door for them.The man was a gray-haired old man, about 60 years old, with thick eyebrows and narrow eyes, and looked very kind.

If Ruoshui and the others understood why they came, the old man told them to wait at the door first, and then turned around to report to the master.After a while, the old man and a boy came out to welcome Ruoshui and the others.

Entering the door and passing through a screen wall, one enters an open courtyard, where flowers and trees are scattered, quiet and tidy, and it can be seen that the owner is a gentle and elegant person.

The old man led them through the corridor, and they came to a study room with a fragrant fragrance.The servant brought tea, and from the servant's mouth, Ruoshui and the others learned that the owner's surname was Chen, and he was a well-known local gentry.

Ruoshui raised his head to look at the study room, while Ji Baiyu shook his folding fan lightly, looking very leisurely.

After a while, a fair-faced, handsome young man walked in.Ruoshui and the others quickly stood up.The young man smiled and waved his hand, asking them to sit down.

"The two honored guests have come here, and I have lost my way in welcoming you. Please forgive me. I don't know how to address you two?"

"The owner is polite. My surname is Ji. I passed by here with my sister on my way back home. Unexpectedly, there is no inn here. I will bother the owner all night." Ji Baiyu said.

"Where. I like to make friends the most, you two are welcome, just treat this place as your own home."

The owner of the villa quickly glanced at the two of Ruoshui, and said with a smile: "You two want to go back to your hometown, where is your residence?"

Ji Baiyu said calmly, "It's in Qingfeng Town not far from here."

"Oh?" The man seemed taken aback, "It turns out that the two of you live at the foot of Kunlun Mountain. I think you are extraordinary, could it be that you are also a member of the Kunlun sect?"

"Kunlun Xianshan, my brother and sister are both ordinary people, and I just heard about it."

Chen Zhuangzhu smiled slightly, then stopped asking, and turned to tell the housekeeper to lead the guests to the guest room.

If Ruoshui settled down well, he saw Ji Baiyu standing in front of the window with bright eyes, as if he was thinking about something.She walked over gently, "what's the matter with you?"

Ji Baiyu turned his head, "What do you think of Mr. Chen?"

Owner Chen?Ruoshui was slightly puzzled, she didn't know why Ji Baiyu suddenly asked him.

"Suave and suave, with extraordinary appearance, but the eyes are deep and unpredictable." Ruoshui replied honestly.

Ji Baiyu nodded in agreement, "Don't you think everything in this village is weird?"

Ruoshui looked out the window, and said disapprovingly, "No problem. Dazhuangzi has a big courtyard and few people, so it always gives people a strange and empty feeling."

"I hope so!"

Ruoshui looked at Ji Baiyu strangely, and seemed to think that his words meant a lot.

After a good night's sleep, when she woke up the next day, Ruoshui felt refreshed a lot, so she packed her bags and prepared to say goodbye to the owner with Ji Baiyu.

But when I opened the door, I found that the north wind was howling outside, snowflakes were fluttering, and a thick layer of snow had already accumulated on the ground.

Ruoshui was surprised, and unconsciously let out a cry of surprise.Now it's just late autumn, so why is it snowing?

Just as she was wondering, Ji Baiyu came.

"I'm afraid we won't be able to leave today!" Ji Baiyu said in a deep voice.

"what happened?"

"Just now, the steward of the Chen residence said that there is only one waterway back to Qingfeng Town. But now that it's snowing, the boat can't go. We have to wait a day until the river is frozen."

Ruoshui looked at the sky, hesitated for a moment, and a bad thought inexplicably flashed in his mind.But she fixed her gaze on Ji Baiyu without making a sound.

The wind and snow outside the window was getting bigger and bigger, Ruoshui and Ji Baiyu sat hugging the stove, the hot tea on one side was hissing.

Ji Baiyu was leisurely and seemed to see nothing unusual.But Ruoshui vaguely sensed that he seemed to have something on his mind.

Ruoshui tried a few words, but Ji Baiyu always changed the subject at critical moments, so she had no choice but to give up.

After a long while, there were soft footsteps in the corridor, and only a moment later, a man in coir raincoat and bamboo hat appeared at the door of the room.

The man stood with his back to the light, Ruoshui and the others couldn't see the man's face clearly.Ji Baiyu was about to ask questions, but the man took off his bamboo hat, revealing a familiar face.

"Will you two want seabass?" The man grinned and weighed the two skewers of fish in his hands.

"Xie..." Ruo Shui was overjoyed, and was about to speak out, but was turned back by Xie Xian with a wink.

"Please sit down, old man. We also want to eat fish." Ji Baiyu gave up his seat with a smile.

Ruoshui waited for Xiexian to sit down, and couldn't wait to ask him where he had been for the past few days?

Xie Xian took a sip of tea and said, "I went to see Old Man Xiaoyao?"

Ruoshui felt strange and hurriedly asked what was going on.

Xie Xian said: "Old Xiaoyao is not in Kunlun at all. He was seriously injured that day, and he has already gone to the Antarctic Immortal to recuperate. I thought it was strange that day, how could he only match Yanhuo with his skill? Then I went there and found out.”

Seeing Xie Xian's mysterious words, Ruoshui became very curious: "What's the matter? Could it be that Master suffered internal injuries before fighting Yan Huo again?"

Xie Xian pursed her lips disapprovingly, "Ji Baiyu, Mr. Ji, what do you think?"

Ji Baiyu pondered for a moment, then smiled and said: "Senior, you must have discovered some secrets about Yanhuo, right?"

Xiexian laughed loudly and gave a thumbs up: "People say that Ji Shaofan has an extremely clever son. It is true when I saw him today. However, he is a little worse than me."

Xie Xian has always been conceited and extremely intelligent, and no one can look down on him.Unexpectedly, this time he would praise Ji Baiyu face to face, Ruoshui was really surprised, but after hearing what happened later, Ruoshui realized that it was just a means of self-praise.

Xiexian looked at the two people in front of him, and said in a low voice, "The person who fought with Xiaoyao that day was not Yanhuo at all, but his substitute, Feiluo, the king of the ghost clan."

Both of them were surprised when they heard this, which was beyond their expectation.Why didn't Yanhuo do it himself, but find a counterfeit?

"Feiluo's kung fu is much higher than Yanhuo's, but for some unknown reason, he obeyed him like his shadow. When Xiaoyaozi fought the fake Yanhuo that day, he thought it was Yanhuo at first. But, that person Later, Hunyuan Gong was used, which is the ancestral magical skill of the ghost clan, and only descendants of the royal family can practice it."

"So, Master recognized that person as Feiluo? Is that why you were injured?"

"With your master's skill, you can barely draw with Hunyuan Gong, otherwise you wouldn't have suffered such a serious injury."

"Then how is Taoist Priest Xiaoyao's injury?" Ji Baiyu asked with concern.

Knowing that Xiaoyaozi was safe and sound at the moment, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then Master said to see me in three days, but what's the matter?" Ruoshui suddenly remembered this.

"He wants to tell you that the day of Five Stars is coming soon. He wants to give You Mengxian Pillow to you, and asks you to leave here." Xie Xian said absent-mindedly, obviously not interested in this matter.

It turns out that Ruo Shui is indifferent, thinking that Master has repeatedly protected him, he is greatly moved.

Ji Baiyu noticed Ruoshui's strangeness, so he quickly changed the subject and asked how Xiexian found them?
At this question, Xie Xian seemed to think of it, slapped his forehead, and shouted "Idiot!" Then he said, tell them to be more careful when crossing the river tomorrow, there are weird things in the river.

"What do you mean, senior?" Ji Baiyu asked.

"When I came to this village, I always thought it was weird, but I couldn't tell. So I pretended to be a fisherman and came to visit. Later, I heard that there are two guests here who are going to cross the river tomorrow, and I immediately thought of you. So, After dumping the housekeeper, I will come here to remind you."

"Senior, it seems that you have been to Kunlun?" Ji Baiyu asked mildly, and glanced at Ruoshui.

Xie Xian chuckled and patted his legs, "The old man still has important things to do. I won't accompany you back home, but you must remember tomorrow that after you get on the ice, don't listen to anyone who tells you. Otherwise, when the time comes There's going to be big trouble."

Ruoshui and Ji Baiyu sent Xie Xian to the door, Xie Xian flickered two dried fishes and yelled all the way to find the housekeeper.

Early the next morning, the wind and snow stopped, and a thick layer of ice had formed on the river.

Ruoshui and Ji Baiyu bid farewell to Mr. Chen, and were led to the riverside by the housekeeper.Several days of heavy snow has sealed the whole world in a piece of silver. From a distance, a plum grove on the other side of the river is blooming proudly.The misty snow and mist make the red plums on the branches more beautiful.

At this time, there were already pedestrians on the ice, and they all rushed to the other side with small steps.Ji Baiyu thanked the butler, and took Ruoshui onto the ice.

The ice is as smooth as a mirror, and they need to hold hands to walk.Ruoshui became playful, and kept pulling Ji Baiyu to slide forward.Ji Baiyu was worried that she would fall, so he had to hold her tightly, as if afraid that she would run out of his range.

When they were about to reach the center of the river, all the pedestrians suddenly disappeared.

Ruoshui panicked, Ji Baiyu told her in a low voice not to turn back.The two gritted their teeth, bowed their heads and walked quickly.

At this time, there were a few laughing sounds from behind, and then a voice shouted "Ruoshui!"

Ruoshui was startled when she heard that, and she knew it was Xuan Qing when she heard the cheerful voice.Afraid that she would turn around, Ji Baiyu quickly pulled her into his arms and pulled her hard.Ruoshui suddenly remembered what Xiexian said before leaving, and hastily blocked his ear drums.

But the voice didn't let her go, as if it was not blocked, it floated into Ruoshui's mind.At first it was laughing and playing, and later it turned into crying and blood.Ruoshui's ears only felt extremely miserable and sad.Ji Baiyu kept in her ear to calm her down and recite the mantra of clearing her mind.Ruoshui also tried hard to restrain the urge to turn back.

At the end, a voice sounded, and the man only yelled, Ruoshui turned his head as if possessed by a demon.But as soon as she turned her head, she knew what had happened. With a loud noise, a vortex suddenly appeared on the ice under their feet. The vortex was like two big hands, which clamped the two of them fiercely and pulled them into the bottom of the river. . . . . .

There is no one on the ice, only the voice is still shouting "Ruoshui, come back!" The voice is full of affection, it seems to come from the deepest part of the heart, it is irresistible.

That was Xuan Chi's voice. . . . . .
