Chapter 4 The Ark and the River

From this nameless river, you can go east to Ji River. Ji River is one of the three major rivers in the Mohai Plain. The water flows in the front half, with waves rising and whirlpools scattered, so there are not many boats on the river surface; when the second half, near the Mohai Sea, the water flow becomes peaceful, and there are pleasure boats and fishing boats everywhere on the river surface, shuttles and shuttles. In the shallow areas of the river, there are groups of women washing clothes and chatting about interesting things. Around them, there are many naked children playing with each other, and laughing like silver bells comes from time to time.

On the river bank, there are green willows, lush and green, which is a very lively scene.

At this time, there was a very inconsistent small raft on the river surface than usual. On the raft, there was a person lying leisurely. Zhuo Crazy, who was greedy and enjoying the afternoon sun, and on the water behind him, there was Gaoyang who was swimming freely.

"Look, everyone, there is no one to hold the raft. It's so strange."

"Yes, you can paddle so smoothly without a bamboo pole. It's so amazing..."

"You said, will the person on the raft be the legendary assassin? It is said that those powerful assassins, with their own backbone, do not need bamboo poles. Even without a raft, they can walk on the water."

"Ah, I saw clearly. There was someone behind the raft... It turned out that someone was controlling the direction of the raft in the water. No wonder..."

"The people in the water look quite powerful... I wonder which of them is better..."

…………

Zhuo Fengzi and Gao Yang could hear clearly the conversation between the women by the river and the boats on the river. Gao Yang looked up at Zhuo Fengzi and smiled and said, "Who are you better?"

Zhuo Fengzi rolled his eyes, picked up a straw hat behind his head, covered his entire face, pretending not to hear Gao Yang's stern questions. In fact, his heart was mixed with mixed feelings, and he was jealous and hated this cheerful and intelligent boy:

Since the nameless river that day, the two have been together for more than a month, and after making a small raft, they have been in the water and have never been on the shore. Gao Yang seems to be born as a water ghost. For the past month, he has been immersed in the water and has never climbed onto the raft when he was sleeping. Once, Gao Yang fell asleep and was accidentally washed away by the whirlpool. Zhuo Fengzi was so anxious that he quickly went into the water to find him, but he didn't expect that this guy could still fall asleep soundly under the rushing flow. This state made Zhuo Fengzi sigh.

Of course, what really makes Zhuo Crazy Zi jealous is Gao Yang's talent for using his backbone. On that day, Gao Yang said, "It takes only a few days to learn the ability to 'make fire with qi'." Zhuo Crazy Zi still thought that this was just a child's angrily words. Who knew that after he roasted fish for several days in a row, this guy could really do it according to his own way, learn it without a teacher, and roast the fish by himself in a good manner.

The commentary says: "Innate bones, acquired pricks". That is to say, everyone is born with backbone. This "innate bones" are extremely pure, but very small, and as they grow older, they will slowly fade and weaken. Therefore, everyone must work hard to cultivate to refine the "acquired pricks" while maintaining "innate bones" to strengthen their own backbone cultivation.

But Gao Yang's backbone seems to be completely different from ordinary people. His backbone is not only pure, but also strong, as if all of them come from "innate backbone" without any impurities. The energy contained in this backbone is extremely huge. If it is fully utilized, it may not be impossible to "cover the sea and move mountains" in the legend.

Zhuo Crazy's current knowledge still cannot explain this incredible situation. He only knew that the reason why Gao Yang was able to digest more than 100 kilograms of strong wine in a flash and frequently felt empty and hungry was probably because of this innate backbone. However, Gao Yang knew nothing about the backbone in his body, and he did not know how to effectively control and use it. If this kid was born in a famous family, taught by famous teachers since childhood and cultivated carefully, then with his talent, at this age, he would probably have been a famous genius in the world. Even if the entire Shangqing School combined, he would not be Gao Yang's opponent.

"Which hateful master is wasting natural resources and wasting Gao Yang's talent that is rare in a thousand years?" Zhuo Fengzi couldn't help but double his interest in Gao Yang's origin, and immediately asked where Zhenyin Mountain was!

Gao Yang said indifferently: "Is Zhenyin Mountain the Zhenyin Mountain?"

After repeated questioning, Gao Yang finally said impatiently: "It's the mountain where the pavilion was before!"

"Is it the Devil Mountains?" Zhuo Fengzi was moved by it, and at the same time he finally remembered the source of the word "Zhen Yin". During the Shangqing School, he once sneaked into the library to peek at the classics collected by the Shangqing School. Among them, there is a book called "Chongzhen Yin Jue", which mentioned the Devil Mountains, and also talked about the fact that there was a tribe of the Southern Wilderness that devastated the heavens and the world in the mountains...

"Could this kid be the strong man sent by the Southern Wilderness tribe to destroy the world?" Zhuo Fengzi was shocked, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was unlikely. If this kid was really a strong man trained by the Southern Wilderness tribe, it would be impossible that he still did not know how to use his backbone. To be honest, with Gao Yang's current meager strength, Zhuo Fengzi could slap him to death with one slap.

If you take a step back, even if Gao Yang is really a member of the Southern Wilderness clan, so what? Those who are involved in the survival of the world are worried about the great affairs of the Shangqing Sect, such as the Shangqing Sect, are not the turn of his head to have a headache. What he wants most now is the "Sun and Moon Pot" of the Shangqing Sect. For him, the stronger Gao Yang's strength, the better, because this indicates that he has a greater chance of getting the Dharma Thorn back.

Thinking of the Dharma Thorn, Zhuo Crazy's heart suddenly became warm. He returned to reality from the thoughts just now. He listened to the quiet sound of Jihe's water. He blew the hat on his face a few times and said carelessly: "A young boy who doesn't even know even has the face to say that he is amazing? By the way, I'll ask you again. If others ask where you come from, how do you remember to answer?"

Gao Yang curled his lips and said, "How come I can't remember it? I'm talking nonsense, more annoying than my master."

Zhuo Qianzi said, "Then you answer me again."

Gao Yang said with a stern face: "If someone asks me, I will say that I am from the Dragon Elephant City of Mohai and a descendant of the Gao family in the 18li. I have answered you dozens of times, are you still not satisfied?"

Zhuo Caizi solemnly warned: "Your barbaric habits must also be changed, so that people cannot know that you have barbaric behaviors similar to 'eating live fish'."

Zhuo Fengzi was indeed quite concerned about these details. Because at the exile pavilion that day, in addition to him, there were also disciples of the Shangqing sect such as Li Hanguang. If he had the opportunity to see "The Secret of the Truth of the Invisibility", it meant that Li Hanguang would also have the opportunity to see it. If they knew that Gao Yang was a barbarian in the Southern Wilderness, they would probably kill Gao Yang without saying a word to avoid future troubles.

As for the people whom the Shangqing School wanted to get rid of, Zhuo Crazy Zi had to do everything possible to protect him and make him stronger! Those so-called decent people were worried and suffered all their hardships.

Gao Yang seemed to have not understood Zhuo Crazy's implicit voice, and yawned, saying, "I have eaten fish in the water for more than a month. I have eaten all kinds of fish. I am tired of eating them and am trying to change my taste."

"I can cook anything else I want to eat for you." Zhuo Qianzi took off his straw hat and flipped over from the raft. He looked at Gao Yang who was swimming in a variety of ways in the water. The more he looked, the more he was satisfied. Over the past month, Gao Yang's appearance has changed greatly, from his original skin and lean flesh to his current red face, handsome and extraordinary, which can be said to be completely different. If he had not had those weird words and deeds, even if Li Hanguang ran into Gao Yang again, he would definitely not recognize Li Hanguang.

The only regret is that Zhuo Crazy wanted to call Gao Yang to change his name, but the boy was stunned. No matter how he persuaded him, he refused to change his name. Zhuo Crazy also asked why Gao Yang was so good. He ran out of the mountains. The boy kept his word and refused to reveal a word. In the end, Zhuo Crazy made a mistake and realized that Gao Yang was so hungry that he had to come out of the mountain to find food. Moreover, he seemed to be afraid of not having enough food, so he was reluctant to return to the mountain.

Faced with Zhuo Crazy's temptation, Gao Yang put his head on his back and thought for a long time, but he couldn't think of anything good to eat. He was in trouble and distressed, but suddenly his eyes lit up. He pointed at a black shadow in the sky and said, "How about eating those who are used to swimming in the water, and eating some flying in the sky?"

Zhuo Caizi turned his head and looked in the direction of Gao Yang's finger. But he saw a black bird in the sky flapping its wings and leaping closer and closer. The black bird flew extremely fast, and was more than thirty feet high from the ground. Its dancing wings were more than nine feet, with sharp beaks and sharp claws, and his eyes were sharp. He swept down towards the crowd playing by the river, and it was silent.

Zhuo Fengzi's face suddenly changed and he said, "Oh no, it's a ferocious bird in Wushan, the swallowing magpie!"

Seeing Zhuo Madman reacting like this, Gao Yang said with a strange feeling: "What's wrong? Is its meat very unpalatable?"

Zhuo Crazy Man had no time to pay attention to Gao Yang, but instead shouted to the crowd by the river: "The Swallowing Sky Magpie is here, everyone should hide in the water!"

The women and children by the river all looked shocked when they heard this, and they pinched their noses and held their breath and sank into the water.

Zhuo Fengzi then replied: "This kind of meat is not only very difficult to eat, but also very difficult to eat."

The Tianshen Magpie was quite spiritual. He knew that Zhuo Crazy said he would remind the crowd, which made those people beware of it and let it lose. So he angrily changed direction and snatched Zhuo Crazy in the river.
