"Then, what about those two charlatans?"

The scholar pointed to the water and asked in surprise.

"Wait a minute."

The third senior brother didn't seem to be afraid at all. He just sat on the edge of the boat, slowly wringing out his clothes, wiping the moisture from his hair, and waiting for the two gangsters.

In fact, where can I wait?

Although it didn't take long for the third senior brother to go into the water to fight the water monster, it was still nearly a quarter of an hour. If those two were still alive and could float, they would have floated long ago.

At the same time, the boatman also recounted:

"Our river is called Weishui River.

"Several guests are from other places and may not have heard of it. Here we have two opinions:

"One is that in ancient times, maybe in the previous dynasty, or maybe even earlier, the god in the river at that time was a dragon, maybe not a god. Anyway, everything in the river was under his control at that time. Now the river is under his control.

There is also his temple nearby.

"We have another swallow god here. The swallow god has a good relationship with the dragon, so all swallows are protected by the dragon. Anyone who walks by water cannot eat swallows.

"The monsters in the water were all the subordinates of the dragon at that time. If you eat a swallow, your body will be contaminated with the swallow's energy. In this way, when you are in a boat, there will be no wind and waves, and the boat will be capsized.

"Another theory is that the dragon likes to eat swallows. If a person eats a swallow, his body will be contaminated with the swallow's energy. If he travels by water, he will also be attacked by the dragon.

"..."

The scholar was filled with surprise when he heard this.

Lin Jue and his junior sister also found it strange.

The fox lay at his feet and yawned.

Only the third senior brother was twisting his clothes, while water dripped into the river from time to time, making a splashing sound.

"The water monster just now is definitely not a dragon, nor is it a turtle. It looks like a catfish in the water that grew up and became a spirit." Lin Jue thought about it and said, "It sounds like the former theory is more credible."

"Who can say for sure?" The third senior brother shook his head and said, "The world is so vast that there are many wonders."

"Then what should we do now?" The scholar couldn't help but ask, "Can we still walk by water now?"

"How do I know?"

The boatman also turned to look at the three Taoists.

"We are all here. We have to take the water route. What if we don't take the water route? If we don't take this boat, why don't we have to take the water route if we change to another boat? We are not the ones eating the swallows." The third senior brother said indifferently, feeling that he himself

After all the water on his body was gone, he stood up with his sword in hand and walked into the cabin. As he walked, he asked, "How long will it take before we can get out of the Weishui River?"

"It won't take long to go to Yuanzhou. After walking a few dozen miles, it will merge into another big river. Then it will no longer be the Weishui River. In ancient times, it would not be under the control of the dragon master."

"That's just right!"

"The Taoist priest means... to continue moving forward?"

"Isn't it a while to go back?"

The third senior brother came out again, put down his sword, replaced his hand with a wine gourd, and raised his head to drink.

"this……"

"Isn't it?"

"Then...the two guest officers..."

"Did they give you money?"

"I gave it to you."

"That's it!" The third senior brother looked calmly, looked at his two junior brothers and sisters, and said with a smile, "People in the world are smart. After waiting for so long, they haven't appeared yet. If they are still alive, they probably found some bushes.

They are hiding, or they have sneaked ashore somewhere, just throw their luggage ashore for them, there is no need to wait for them anymore."

"..."

The boatman didn't dare to answer the call.

Lin Jue didn't say anything either.

In fact, he could tell from when the two people fell into the water that even if they could float, their water quality was definitely not good, and the possibility of survival at this time was very low. However, he would still accept the gentle care of his senior brother.

The sails are raised and the ship rides on the wind.

At this time, the water surface was green, deep and calm, and even the blood color faded and disappeared and was left far behind. The previous danger seemed to have never happened before.

Only the third senior brother was wet, the young scholar was shivering, and the boatman fearfully controlled the boat and looked at the water in the distance, telling them that what just happened was true.

"Why did you take out all the elixirs and medicinal materials?"

"Senior brother saw that the situation was not good and asked me to take it out." Junior sister replied, "He raised the sail and used the wind to blow the boat towards the shore. He asked me to throw it on the shore when I got close to the shore.

"

"Okay you guys!"

The third senior brother couldn't help but feel surprised: "You have only been up the mountain for a long time. Even if you can eliminate demons with me, at such a critical moment, besides fighting, you can still have such thoughts!"

"It's all senior brother's idea."

"Don't be so modest. If you guys were here, I'm afraid they wouldn't perform as well as you."

I mainly said this to my junior sister.

What surprised him was actually his junior sister.

Lin felt that he knew it. Before he left home, he dared to spend the night in the ancestral hall where monsters were infested. He dared to talk directly to the monsters. Before going up the mountain, he dared to exchange the heads of monster monkeys for rewards and get travel expenses from ghosts. He also dared to go home with others.

He dealt with the haunted tree demon and dared to go up the mountain to drink the tiger's wine. After going up the mountain, he went down the mountain with him. Lin Jue often fought with demons, demons and rats. He naturally knew the courage and ability of this junior brother.

Unexpectedly, the junior sister was not panicked at all.

"Senior brother, please don't underestimate her." Lin Jue sat calmly next to him. He was thinking about how he felt when his cheek was rubbed by the water jet, and guessed about the spells he learned in ancient books. At this time, he also said, "For the first time last year,

When we met rat demons in the temple, she would beat them with sticks. This year during the Lantern Festival, we were attacked by the warrior at night. Thanks to her help, otherwise we might not have been able to defeat the warrior."

"Really? I thought she was just talented in swordsmanship."

"Junior sister is very courageous." Lin Jue said, "She climbed the mountain to collect herbs and fell down several times. Did you know about it once?"

"How many times did you fall down?"

The third senior brother turned his head and looked at the younger junior sister.

But the junior sister just looked serious, sitting cross-legged, looking at her nose and heart, as if she was stupid and couldn't hear. This was actually her strategy.

As long as you can't hear it, you won't be embarrassed.

Lin Jue smiled and said no more.

In fact, in his opinion, the rare thing about junior sister is not only her courage, but also that she is not reckless at all - she can actually know what she should do, just like on the snowy night at the beginning of the year, she worked very hard

She wanted to help her senior brother, but she would never take a step forward. If she stepped forward, it would be bad, so it was so easy to defeat that warrior.

The three Taoists chatted casually, while the scholar and boatman next to them were frightened.

Outside, the blue waves remained the same, and the green mountains on both sides formed shadows. The tent boat rowed through the middle, and unknowingly, it had left the Weishui River.

"Don't be afraid, brother, it's just a water monster, how different is it from a bigger fish?" The third senior brother greeted the scholar, "You and I are drinking together, blowing the wind from the river, and having fun like we did before.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to talk about the wonders of the four seas?”

The scholar answered tremblingly.

Lin Jueze went to the boat deck again to blow the wind.

Junior Sister and Fox followed him.

There are many mountains on the left and right, and there are many houses on the riverside. Unknowingly, it has already reached dusk. Both sides of the river are full of smoke, hanging down the mountainside, forming a line. Occasionally, lights are reflected in the lake.

The schooner has already docked.

There is no dock, just a rope is used to tie the boat to the trees on the shore, and smoke rises from the boat.

As expected, the third senior brother was chatting happily with the scholar, while Lin Jue took a fishing rod and lowered the line into the water. The boatman was cooking porridge at the stern of the boat, which was their dinner tonight.

It is indeed a good weather today.

Even after dark, the sky is dark blue, and the mountains by the lake are all silhouetted, reflected in the river.

What those two Jianghu people said was right -

This boat is too crowded for six people.

It's not too crowded to sit down, but it's too crowded to stay overnight.

Now the four of us are just fine.

After dinner, the third senior brother and the boatman's scholar slept in the cabin. Lin felt that he was not afraid of the cold and felt it was cool outside, so he lay on the wooden board in the bow of the boat. The younger junior sister did not want to go to the cabin and squeeze with the three people, so she did the same as him

Half lying on the board of the boat, the two of them opened their eyes and looked at the night sky.

The breeze on the river keeps blowing, and at night the water surface ripples, and the tent boat sways slightly with the water waves. It is not as scary as it was during the day, but it just makes people fall asleep, and the sky is filled with stars.
