Prequel to the Master of Demonic Dao

The next day, the group bid farewell to Jiang and his wife and continued westward.

After leaving Yunmeng, it was the Yiling Wharf. Jiang Fengmian pointed to a city far to the north of the river, and said, "Over there is Yiling City, and there is a mass grave outside the city. Counting. Since the past dynasties, in addition to those who died in battle, nameless corpses have also been thrown there. Now the mass graves can dig out a corpse with just a hoe. " Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and there was a faint hill in the distance, hidden in the gray mist, looming.

Chi Hui said: "It's simply hell on earth."

Yu Ziyuan cast a glance and said: "It's bad luck not to mention that place. After Jingchu, it's in the direction of Yuzhou. Let's enjoy the scenery of the Three Gorges."

Chi Hui said: "Three Gorges? Which Three Gorges?"

Jin Guangshan said: "Xiao Daoist, you have to ask Jin this question. The Three Gorges refer to the Qutang Gorge, Wu Gorge and Xiling Gorge between Jingchu and Yuzhou. In the 34th volume of "Shui Jing Zhu" "Jiang Shui" Li Dogen wrote an article "Three Gorges" that described the scenery here." He stood up, cleared his throat, and recited:

Within [-] miles of the Three Gorges, there are mountains on both sides of the river, and there is no shortage of places.Heavy rocks piled on top of each other, hiding the sky and blocking out the sun. Since Feiting is midnight, the sun and the moon are not seen.

As for Xiashui Xiangling, it is blocked along the way.Or the king's order is announced urgently, sometimes the morning dispatches to Baidi, and evening arrives at Jiangling. This middle is more than [-] miles away, even if I ride fast to the imperial wind, it won't be too fast.

In spring and winter, there is a green lake in the rush of water, and the reflection in the clear.There are many strange cypresses growing in the mountains, hanging springs and waterfalls, during which you fly to rinse. It is clear and magnificent, and a lot of fun.

Every day when the sun is clear and the first frost comes, the forest is cold and the stream is solemn, and there are often high apes shouting and screaming, which is strange, and the sound is heard in the empty valley, and the sorrow will last for a long time.Therefore, the fisherman's song said: "The Wu Gorge in the Three Gorges of Badong is long, and the apes cry three times and tears stain their clothes."

Yu Ziyuan smiled but did not smile: "Jin Gan, you are showing off again. You can remember such a tongue-in-cheek article, if it were me, I would even tear up the book."

Jin Guangshan said: "Beauty Yu is an honor, what Jin loves most in this life is hunting around, beauties and wine, these famous mountains and great rivers, I will not let them go..." When it came to "beauties and wine", Yu Ziyuan started again. Staring at him, Jin Guangshan immediately shut up.

When the boat arrived at Badong County in Yuzhou, Yu Feipeng said: "Wushan County is ahead, and the famous Goddess Peak is between Badong and Wushan."

Jin Guangshan became excited again when he heard it, and said, "Wushan, Goddess Peak? Is that where the 'Wushan Cloud and Rain' came from? It reminded me of a poem again." It’s not Yun. Take Hua Cong to look back lazily, half destined to practice Taoism and half destined to be king.”

Yu Ziyuan said contemptuously: "Jin Gan, don't mention this poem again, ever since I knew that this Yuanda poet fell in love with other beauties less than half a month after writing this poem, I can no longer be honest with it. But this is commensurate with you, Young Master Jin."

Jin Guangshan: "..."

Everyone couldn't laugh or cry, Yu Feipeng coughed and said helplessly: "Further ahead is Kuizhou, and Qutang Gorge is between Kuizhou and Wushan. There is no way to 'a light boat has passed ten thousand mountains'. "

We went to Wushan to rest overnight, and set off for Kuizhou the next day.

The scenery in this section is really beautiful. As mentioned in "Three Gorges", there are continuous high mountains on both sides of the river. The overlapping peaks cover the sun, and the river is quite cool.

Jin Guangshan said: "Didn't you say 'the apes on both sides of the strait can't stop crying', why is it so quiet?"

Yu Feipeng said: "I don't know, but when we went to Gusu, we really couldn't stop crying."

The woods and mountain streams on both sides of the river were cool and quiet, with a slight chill, Wei Changze went to the cabin to get two cloaks, and said, "Miss Chi, Miss Bai, put on some clothes." Yu Ziyuan's two little maids also brought them. A purple cloak.

The boat went upstream, moving slowly, and it was getting colder and colder, and there was not even a bird's cry.

"It doesn't feel right." Chi Hui threw out two spells, and when they were about to reach the shore, they were bounced back and spontaneously ignited.

Jiang Fengmian said: "Miss Chi, what kind of talisman is this?"

Chi Hui said: "Try to see if there is any evil spirit or enchantment talisman."

Jin Guangshan asked anxiously, "Is it there or not?"

Chi Hui said: "There are evil spirits."

Everyone immediately drew their swords and formed a circle to guard.

Suddenly, a flute sound came from the woods on the bank, it was sad and strange, sad and melodious, extremely piercing, and the echo came from the distant valley, which lasted for a long time.

Bai Qiuxian said: "Sister, what exactly is this?"

Chi Hui said: "I don't know either, don't be afraid, we have a lot of people."

The sound of the flute stopped abruptly, and the deathly silence returned.However, everyone did not dare to relax their vigilance, Jiang Fengmian said: "I will go up with Yujian to have a look."

He had just flown about two feet, when a furry thing screamed and rushed over from the woods, landed on the boat with a "thud", bared its teeth at them, it was a monkey.Is this the "ape" in "The Apes on Both Sides of the Taiwan Strait Can't Cry"?

Chi Hui raised his sword and stabbed. The monkey was extremely flexible, jumping up and down, so it was not easy to stab.However, this is not the most important point. The key point is that there are monkeys jumping onto the boat from the woods on both sides of the river.As soon as they jumped around, they jumped at people's faces and scratched with their claws. There were many of them, but there were more monkeys.

Jiang Fengmian said: "Try fire attack!"

Several people lit the open fire talisman, but the monkeys didn't pay attention to the fire at all. They rushed forward and extinguished the fire, and the speed was extremely fast. The fire was too big and they were afraid of burning the boat.Everyone waved their swords, and soon the monkeys were slaughtered, and the boat was full of blood. The boatman was so frightened that he hid in the cabin. into the river.

The cloak on her body was already in the way. Chi Hui tore off the cloak and clasped the hat with one finger. The cloak spun in her hand, whistling like a big umbrella. into the water.The other two learned from each other, and the three big umbrellas on the boat guarded the boat tightly.

However, monkeys can swim, fell into the water and swam back. The three of Chi Hui turned the cloak with one hand and killed the monkey with the other.After a while, monkey corpses piled up on the surface of the river, and the blood stained the river red, blocking the boat's way out. The boat started to retreat again as it sailed against the current.

Chi Hui shook off two talismans with his sword-holding hand, and said: "The apes on both sides of the strait can't stop crying, the light boat has passed the Ten Thousand Mountains!" He threw it out with all his strength, and the two talismans flew to both sides of the boat, splashing huge water. The boat forcibly pushed away the accumulated monkey carcasses and began to move forward.

While beheading the monkey, Jiang Fengmian said, "Miss Chi, you just invented this?"

Chi Hui said: "It's my spiritual power talisman! Read a sentence to strengthen the function of pushing the boat!"

Jiang Fengmian said: "Poetry can also be regarded as oral art? Doesn't the oral art need to be taught by the master?"

Chi Hui said: "As long as you are strong enough, you can say anything you say! This sentence is more appropriate!" That's right, just like the strong make the rules, and the weak can only abide by the rules.

Yu Ziyuan shouted: "Young Master Jiang, will you die if you ask me later!"

However, relying on spiritual power alone to push the boat is really inseparable. Yu Feipeng roared again: "The boatmen, come and row the boat. What's the use of hiding? If you can't resist, you will die!" Oars, some pushed the monkey carcass away with oars, some paddled the water, and the boat moved faster.

There were still a steady stream of monkeys jumping out of the woods, rushing to the boat without hesitation, killing one group, and another group came again.Both Yu Feipeng and Wei Changze had scratches on their faces, and their bodies were covered in blood.Bai Qiuxian said: "Sister, is it useful for you to accept that female ghost?"

Chi Hui said: "I forgot about this!" With a sword, he pushed away a monkey that was pounced on her, pulled off the Qiankun bag and released Qin Sisi.

The author has something to say: I will mention Yiling first, and I will write about it later.

After all, Yiling is the place where Wei Wuxian made his fortune, so we need to plant some foreshadowing
