Chapter 143: The Man in the Boat, the Shadow in the Water

86_86570 "I don't know if I want to go to the other side, what is the asking price?" Zhou Cheng did not get on the boat immediately, but asked about the price first.

It is safest to ask for the price before the transaction to avoid disputes afterwards.

However, Zhou Cheng's actions made some people unhappy, only to see that the curtain of the wooden boat was lifted, and a little girl poked out of it, she looked like a pink carved jade porcelain doll, but she seemed to be angry.

As soon as he came out, he pinched his waist and accused Zhou Cheng: "Why are you a scholar so vulgar, you talk about money when you open and close your mouth, and you don't look like a scholar! Uncle Zhao has been ferrying people here by boat for decades, and he has never received money from anyone. ”

At this time, Zhou Cheng was still dressed as a scholar in green shirts, which seemed more ordinary, and it could also save a lot of offense, after all, too many people knew the Taoist robe of the Pure Yang Sect.

Zhou Cheng listened to the little girl's accusation, couldn't help laughing, arched his hand to the old man and said, "It's me Meng Lang, please don't mind the boatman." ”

This little girl is only in her teens, and it is when she has a lively temperament, and Zhou Cheng did not feel unhappy because of her accusations, after all, it is indeed a little abrupt to ask an old man who has crossed the river for decades without compensation.

Seeing that Zhou Cheng apologized to the old man so quickly, the little girl immediately felt a little embarrassed, and her cheeks were slightly red, as if she felt that she had spoken too much just now, she fiddled with her fingers and whispered: "Look, for the sake of your sincere apology, I will forgive you!"

With that, the little girl turned around and ran into the boat.

At this time, the old man shook his head and smiled, "Please don't care about Fluttershy, this kid is innocent and cute." Please get on the boat, it will rain heavily in a while."

"Thank you, boatman. Zhou Cheng thanked him, and then boarded the wooden boat and walked into the boat.

There isn't a lot of space in this wooden boat. Two rows of benches can seat six people, and before Zhou Cheng came in, there were already three people in the boat.

Except for the little girl from before. The other two are a middle-aged man in his forties and a teenager who looks like a ten-year-old, and they are all dressed quite brightly. The faces are also very ruddy, and they should all come from rich families.

Moreover, under the induction of divine sense, Zhou Cheng found that the middle-aged man and the young man had mana in their bodies, the former had the cultivation of the powerful and courageous period, and the young man should have just clicked on the essence, and the mana was not very stable.

Seeing Zhou Cheng come in, the little girl got down from a row of benches and sat down next to the middle-aged man. Leave the separate row of benches to Zhou Cheng.

"Daddy, do you see if this scholar is a refiner, what kind of cultivation is it?" the little girl tugged at the corner of the middle-aged man's clothes, pointed at Zhou Cheng and asked.

"Fluttershy, don't talk nonsense, how can you just ask people about their cultivation. The middle-aged man whispered, and then arched his hand to Zhou Cheng and said, "The little girl is not sensible, please forgive me." ”

Zhou Cheng naturally didn't care about this, and waved his hand and said, "It's okay, Fluttershy is innocent." I like it very much. ”

The little girl turned her head and stuck out her tongue at Zhou Cheng, pursed her lips and said, "I don't want you to like it." ”

The middle-aged man gently patted the little girl's hair and said to Zhou Cheng, "This son." Meeting is fate, in Xia Shen Changxing, this is the dog Shen Wenyun, this is the little girl Shen Die, I don't know what to call the son?"

Zhou Cheng said: "Under Yuan Qing." ”

Zhou Qingyuan's identity is already famous on the Yinghua list, so he didn't use that name, but turned the word "Qingyuan" upside down and made a pseudonym.

Yuan Qing ...... What a name. Shen Changxing praised it, and asked Zhou Cheng again: "I don't know where the son is going?"

"Read 10,000 books and travel a thousand miles. I want to go to Northern Qi to study. Zhou Cheng made the appearance of a studious scholar, and he is now a scholar Yuan Qing. It's not Pure Yang Sect Zhou Qingyuan.

"Northern Qi, we are also going to Northern Qi!" Shen Die seemed to have completely forgotten the unhappiness just now, and said to Zhou Cheng with a smile: "I heard that Brother Zhou Qingyuan is a disciple of the Pure Yang Sect of Northern Qi. Hehe, I must go to the Pure Yang Sect when I have a chance. ”

What?Brother Zhou Qingyuan...... Zhou Cheng was a little confused by Shen Die's words, when did he have such a sister?

"You are talking about Zhou Qingyuan, but Zhou Qingyuan, who was on the Yinghua list during the strength period?" Zhou Cheng asked tentatively.

Shen Die nodded heavily, waved his little fist and said, "That's right, it's him! I worship Brother Zhou Qingyuan so much! I was able to defeat the bitter devouring old demon of Tianchong Realm and save hundreds of thousands of people in Yueling County during the strength period, which is really amazing!"

Is this an admirer...... Zhou Cheng suddenly felt that it seemed quite cool to listen to a little girl talk about herself like this.

It's so easy to be satisfied!

Zhou Chengqiang held back a smile and said, "Perhaps, maybe he used some secret treasure." ”

Shen Die shook his head again and again when he heard this, and said: "It is said on the Yinghua list that Brother Zhou Qingyuan is a genealogist, a peerless genius who can sing the words and call the weapon, and he used the divine weapon of his own perception to defeat the bitter devouring old demon!"

Then she came to Shen Wenyun, who had been silent, shook the other party's arm and said, "Brother, do you say yes, isn't it, is Brother Zhou Qingyuan very powerful?"

Shen Wenyun's expression was a little helpless, obviously his own sister asked if another "brother" was very powerful, and it was not very good.

However, he still praised: "Zhou Qingyuan is indeed worthy of his reputation, although the cultivation of the bitter devouring old demon suppressed by the formation at that time was only at the level of the heroic stage, but with the sixth-order artifact in his hand, he already has extremely strong strength, and Zhou Qingyuan only has the mana of the consummation of the qi period in the chant summoner, but he can kill the bitter devouring old demon in one fell swoop, which is really extremely strong." ”

Then he said to Zhou Cheng: "Yuan Gongzi, what you just said is indeed a bit hasty, Zhou Qingyuan's strength should be beyond doubt, after all, there are hundreds of thousands of Yueling County City to testify. ”

Zhou Cheng feels a little strange now, he was actually preached because he "belittled" himself, and the reason was because "Zhou Qingyuan's strength is beyond doubt"......

"Ahem, after thinking about it, Zhou Qingyuan is indeed very powerful, and it is normal to be on the Yinghua list, what I just said is indeed hasty. ”

It's even more wonderful to boast about yourself...... Zhou Cheng thought silently in his heart.

Shen Die finally nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well, that's right! Brother Zhou Qingyuan will definitely not be able to reach the top of the Yinghua list in a short time!"

Accept your auspicious words, Zhou Cheng smiled in his heart.

Bang!

At this moment, the wooden boat suddenly trembled without warning, and Shen Die stumbled and almost fell to the ground, thanks to Zhou Cheng holding her up.

"Thank you. Shen Die thanked him softly.

At this time, the old man's voice came from outside the boat: "Forgive me, I encountered a whirlpool just now, and the old man was a little caught off guard, and now it should be fine." ”

The three members of the Shen family settled down at this time, but Zhou Cheng frowned slightly, the tremor of the wooden boat just now was not like it was because of the whirlpool of the current, but more like it was hit by something.

However, until the wooden boat docked, nothing happened, although Zhou Cheng was a little puzzled, he didn't ask much, and after saying goodbye to the old man and the three members of the Shen family, he left directly.

After the three members of the Shen family also left, the old man rowed the wooden boat into the river again, and stopped at the place in the center where the water vapor was the strongest.

"Evil obstacles, twenty years have passed, and your ferocity has not been eliminated!"

An indescribable aura suddenly surged on the old man's body, and in an instant, the laws of heaven and earth, and the infinite rhyme of the Dao all bowed their heads and lingered on the wooden boat.

Immediately, the river surged, and a humanoid phantom condensed in the water vapor, and a piercing sound sounded like the friction of ice edges.

"Hahaha, Zhao Tafa, Zhao Tianzun! Is it worth it for you to suppress me like this! You have wasted your time in the past 20 years! Why don't you let me go?"

The old man's expression remained unchanged, and he blew forward gently, and in an instant, a gust of wind was set off on this water, and within a radius of a hundred miles, the water vapor dissipated, and the humanoid phantom disappeared without a trace.

"Stay well, the bottom of this vicissitudes is your destination. ”

The rivers were surging and the waves were uncertain, and an incomparably resentful voice was heard among them: "Good, good! Since you refuse to let me go, then I will consume you! You human beings have a short lifespan, and I see who will suppress me after you die of old age!"

"Don't worry, the old man will drag you back to the Yuan Heaven and Earth before he dies," the old man's calm and indifferent voice came to the bottom of the water.

"You!Zhao Tafa!You can't die well!" (to be continued).
