Chapter 529 The old man and the river
(I thought it was delayed, but fortunately, I rushed back.)
The sunlight gradually fades away, but unfortunately I can't see the sunset, because the sunset falls in the distance among the clouds, and the sky above my head is blue. Looking at this scene, people always remind you of a well.
This is indeed a well, but it is not for water, but for light.
However, similarly, frogs long for the sky as big as a wellhead, and the people here are the same.
The Baofeng tribe is lucky. They can see the light, but other small tribes are far inferior.
Many times, strength determines everything is real, strong, comrades have many resources, and a wide area of control. Then they do a lot of things, such as building a bridge under their feet!
Even if the Dongshan tribe devotes all its accumulation and exhausts all its manpower, it is impossible to build such a bridge. Each piece of stone on this bridge is a natural formation stone, covered with totems. These are mined deep underground. To reach the ground, either relying on countless human power or requiring powerful ferocious beasts to be excavated. Such ferocious beasts are at least above the realm of transformation. How can the Dongshan tribe have it?
The bridge is suitable for wide, with a foot of nine feet and three miles long, which is recorded in the inscription.
At this time, there were fewer pedestrians on the bridge, and some stalls were quickly taken away, and the easy-going night appeared and disappeared.
The wind also rose. Mu Ming stopped at the bridge, watching the river water go from near to far, and finally disappearing in the distance.
It is said that time is like flowing water, but it is appropriate. The color of the river water is darker, giving people a sense of depression. However, Mu Ming does not care about these things, but closes his eyes and listens carefully. The master and apprentice hear some different sounds, but nothing is heard, only the sound of the river water is endless.
So, Mu Ming strolled on the bridge, and Mu Ming tried very hard every step. At this time, runes were born on the bridge, and these runes guardian bridges even removed their strength.
The wood name is secretly awesome. These runes are all the patterns brought out by the stone slabs of the bridge. They are considered natural formations. Compared with the stones in the river map of the academy, they have the same wonders.
The largest arch ring under the bridge looks like a completely opened folding fan from a distance, and the water surface is a fan bone. In addition, there are symmetrical arrangements of arch holes of various sizes. These arch holes can pass through water when necessary, and can increase the bearing capacity of the arch hole and reduce the weight of the bridge body.
This design can be regarded as the crystallization of wisdom, with special fluctuations vaguely spreading, and the Yin and Yang fish in the wood name body also began to echo each other, as if resonating.
"This is indeed a sacred place of yin and yang, the way of darkness and creation!" Mu Ming said softly, thinking that what the lone wolf said was exactly the same.
Although the distance between three miles and three was slow, it was still completed. Finally, Mu Ming looked at the stone lions at the bridge. There were four zodiacs distributed at both ends of the bridge. There were also huge incense burning below and some talisman paper remained. It seemed that someone had been praying and worshiping here for a long time.
At this time, some people still lit bonfires, and there was a huge brazier in front of almost every door of each house. The flashing fire reflected in the water, making the color of the river different. However, the water flowed very fast, so the reflections kept shaking, as if they were cut, and fragmented spots of light disappeared with the waves.
Mu Ming returned to the middle of the bridge and looked at the shore not far away, but was a little surprised. There was an old man fishing there. Mu Ming frowned slightly and couldn't help but worry about him. At this time, I went to the night scene. If I fell into the water, I'm afraid no one would know.
However, the old man seemed very skillful. Every time he casts a net, there will be some noise, as if there is a sound of river fresh water slapping on the water surface.
After such a short moment, the old man closed the net, and at this time, the old man seemed to have seen the sky dark and looked around.
When I saw a bonfire around me, I couldn't help but smile bitterly, but in the end I saw the black shadow of Mu Ming on the bridge. The old man was very surprised and couldn't help but call out loudly, but Mu Ming didn't hear it clearly. At this time, the sound of water flowing and wind mixed together, so the old man's voice was very blurry.
Mu Ming did not shake his head, as a response, but the old man did not make a sound. Instead, he quickly closed the net and took the fish bag to walk towards the shore, and then disappeared.
Mu Ming originally thought the old man had left, but he never thought that after a moment, Lao He appeared at the bridgehead in the distance panting. Mu Ming understood a little at this time and couldn't help but feel a little apologized because the old man had bare feet and was frozen purple.
The old man ignored these things and walked straight up and said, "Young man, do you want fish?"
He said a very pure divine word. The name of the wood was a little surprised. The name of the wood was originally rejected, but he said, "How much is it worth?"
The old man was stunned and said, "It's worthless, five kilograms of winter valley!"
Mu Ming was stunned. He didn't have this thing. Why did Lao hesitate for Mu Ming? Just fishing to Mu Ming's eyes. Mu Ming saw five golden koi among them. Mu Ming was shocked. The koi was only the size of a thumb, but each one was spiritual.
"This is Yin and Yang Carp, which many people like. It tastes extremely delicious, but it is difficult to capture. Only when they are caught at this time will they appear!" the old man explained.
Mu Ming hesitated for a moment and took out a pill from his cuff, but it was a pill with 60% potency, saying, "I don't have a winter valley, old man, can you look at the pill?"
The old man's eyes lit up, grabbed the pill, looked at the pill carefully, took a sip, and then showed an intoxication, saying, "It's rare to see!"
Mu Ming's mind moved and said, "Is the old man still satisfied?"
The old man shook his head, but he only exuded a faint cultivation level, and said, "If you take this pill in the First Spirit Realm, you may be able to break through immediately, right?"
This time, Mu Ming was surprised. Although he saw that the old man had cultivation, he was very weak. This time he wanted to be a favor. As for the Yin-Yang Carp, Mu Ming also found it novel, but he was not very relieved.
The old man put the pill back to Mu Ming's palm and said, "I can't take advantage of you for nothing?"
Mu Ming said: "The old man doesn't have to care, it's just a pill!"
The old man said, "Take it serious?"
Mu Ming nodded, and then the old man grabbed the pill and swallowed it directly into his mouth. After chewing for a while, he looked satisfied, but Ming frowned slightly.
The old man was still not satisfied, so he immediately remembered something and put the fish bag in Mu Ming's hand. Mu Ming had to refuse, but at this time the fish bag was in the palm of his hand, so it was not easy to refuse, so he had to put it in the storage bag.
"Storage bag?" the old man screamed.
Mu Ming felt puzzled and said, "Why are the old man here alone?"
The old man put away his curiosity and said, "I'm old and I've been alone for a long time. I like to go out for a walk."
Mu Ming nodded silently and said, "Does the old man have no relatives?"
The old man smiled and said, "It used to be, but now it's gone."
Mu Ming smiled apologetically and did not ask again, but the old man said, "Are you a member of the clan meeting?"
Mu Ming smiled and said, "How can I see it?"
The old man disagreed and said, "What's the difficulty? The sky is getting dark. Few people in the tribe will come here at this time. And I know all the young men of this age, but you are in a state of contempt!"
"So that's it. I'm from the Dongshan tribe. I heard that the bridge here is a good view. Come and have a look." Mu Ming said, and retracted his arm back to his cuffs, but stretched it out again because the old man rolled up his sleeves and his arms were exposed.
"It's good to get used to it. The coldest period has passed." The old man felt a little fond of affection when he saw Mu Ming's actions, so he said.
Mu Ming nodded, but then remembered something, took out a jar of wine and handed it to the old man.
The old man was stunned at first, then he was overjoyed and said, "This..."
However, after seeing Mu Ming nodding with a smile, he was not polite. He directly slapped the mud seal, then took a deep mouthful, and shouted: "Have fun!"
Mu Ming looked at the old man, but his smile paused slightly.
The old man took another sip and handed it to Mu Ming, but Mu Ming said, "I'm not good at drinking!"
The old man shook his head and said it was a pity. He took another big sip, then took a long breath, looked at the wooden name, and said, "You have heard the rumors about this bridge, have you also heard?"
Mu Ming nodded and the old man said, "Many people have heard of it and will come to see it, but in the end they all think it is a rumor."
"Isn't it?" Mu Ming asked back.
The old man said: "Most rumors come from real life!"
Mu Ming raised his eyebrows, but this statement was reasonable.
"But the rumors are out of facts again! Uh... Where is the lid?" The old man wanted to cover the mud seal, but he just saw that he had just thrown the mud seal into the river, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile.
So he took another sip and said, "Two people were indeed buried, but they were not grandfathers and grandchildren, but mother and son!"
Mu Ming looked at the old man, full of doubts, but the old man said seriously: "It's indeed mother and son, hey, it's a sin!"
"But many people say they are grandfathers and grandsons!" Mu Ming remembered the clan leader's words, and there was also a lone wolf who mentioned it, but at this time he heard another rumor, and naturally believed in the old clan leader.
It seemed that he could see Mu Ming's thoughts, and the old man said, "The reason why it is rumored to be grandfather and grandson is because of the senior leaders of the Baofeng tribe. However... it doesn't matter anymore, people have died long ago!"
Mu Ming didn't say anything, but just gently rubbed the stones on the stone bridge, but he was not very happy.
"Goodbye!" said the old man, then shook the wine jar and said, "Thank you back, I can't catch the fish now... I'm drunk......"
When Mu Ming saw Lao He's expression, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile, and then silently clasped his fists.
The old man left with his back to Mu Ming, but said, "I've been home, I've been home, and he's back too. It's a pity, one missing..."
Mu Ming looked at the old man's back, full of the old man's voice merged into the night, and only a blurry sound echoed!
But my heart was full of doubts. Mu Nai Ben wanted to leave, but suddenly a vague voice fell into his ears: "Son, you are back..."
