Chapter 142 Fate (3)
I don't know why, when Xiao Qianyin thought about what happened last night, she felt very happy, as if she had picked up a big bargain.
While my thoughts were wandering, I heard the boatman say: "Both of you are seated, ready to sail."
Xiao Qianyin corrected her posture subconsciously, her eyes wandered to the stern of the boat.
When crossing the river last time, the boatman told them the story of Azheng, but unexpectedly helped them solve the case of Yingcheng by his unintentional actions.Thinking of this, Xiao Qianyin rolled up the corners of her lips and said with a smile: "Boatman, do you have any other interesting stories that you can tell us?"
The boatman stuck the penny vertically into the bottom of the river, and while punting the boat away, he said in an unhurried tone: "The old man has been ferrying here for nearly a thousand years, so he has heard many interesting stories. I will choose what you want to hear." Tell it to you."
Xiao Qianyin thought for a moment, then suddenly said on a whim: "Is there any interesting story about Yunyou Shangxian?"
Hearing this, Liu Fengya was startled for a moment, glanced at him, his brows furrowed, as if an unidentified look flashed across his face.
Xiao Qianyin pretended not to notice the change in his expression, and continued to ask the boatman, "Is there any?"
The corners of the boatman's mouth rippling like the ripples on the river surface, he smiled and said, "But the Immortal Yunyou, who is always out of the clouds and under the moon?"
Xiao Qianyin said: "It's not him. Could it be that there is a second immortal named Yunyou in the six realms?"
The boatman smiled, glanced at the cabin, quickly fell back to the river in front, and said, "There is definitely no second Yunyou. As for this one... there have been many stories about him in recent decades, let's take a look at it." The old man thinks about which one to say first."
Xiao Qianyin couldn't help being overjoyed, and waited curiously and expectantly for the boatman to speak again, but didn't want the boat to shake at this moment.His body suddenly lost his balance and swayed forward, and when he was about to hit Liu Fengya, his hand suddenly stretched out to help him.
As a result, the distance between the two got closer, and a faint, almost imperceptible warmth came from his fingertips, and Xiao Qianyin was suddenly startled.Before he could let his arm leave his palm, another violent shaking came from the bottom of the boat.
At this time, I heard the voice of the boatman shouting: "Two sit still, there is a ghost whirlpool ahead, we have to go back to the shore first."
Xiao Qianyin was puzzled and asked: "Boater, what is a ghost whirlpool?"
After the words fell, the boat shook even more than before. The boatman had no time to take care of his problems, and focused on rowing backwards while holding the penny.
Xiao Qianyin had no choice but to hold on to the side of the boat with both hands to keep her balance. Just when she was wondering, she heard Liu Fengya explain: "The ghost vortex is caused by the ghosts in the river killing each other. It usually happens every year. The full moon day of the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Hearing this, Xiao Qianyin blurted out: "Eldest senior brother, now that the Ghost Festival has just passed, how could there be a ghost vortex?"
Liu Fengya also seemed to feel a little strange, so he turned his eyes to the stern of the boat and asked, "Boatman, do ghost whirlpools usually happen here?"
The boatman heard his voice this time, and while supporting the penny, he said: "It used to be only on the Mid-Autumn Festival, but now it's only July. I don't know if something happened at the bottom of the river?"
After finishing speaking, the boatman took a deep breath, pushed the penny into the water vigorously, and the boat left the whirlpool, but he did not dare to relax at all, and continued to push the boat forward.
