Chapter 320: Boating on the Lake

Chapter 320: Boating on the Lake

The things that were cut off by the finger wind include silver coins and gold beads, which can be spent on daily basis or used as hidden weapons, but other than that, there seems to be nothing special.

"This is..." Ruan Yushu took out something that looked like jewelry but not jewelry from the bag containing gold beads.

It is made of gold and is full of hollows, forming a rather complex pattern. It has a strange beauty, is very special, extremely rare, and has a sacred and solemn meaning.

"The gold is mixed with some special material, which is difficult to imitate." Ruan Yushu inspected it carefully and made a judgment.

Jiang Zhiwei got together with her, reached out to take it, and rubbed it for a while: "There is no legal content, it is just a special mixture of materials."

In other words, it is just an ordinary piece of jewelry with good material and weird shape.

"Perhaps it is some kind of status symbol of the Shinhwa Organization..." Meng Qi gritted his teeth and said, having read thousands of books, he still has this bit of imagination.

Jiang Zhiwei nodded slightly: "It's possible, but it may contain a special aura, and you can easily be followed if you carry it with you."

"Haha, what are you afraid of? Did you forget this?" Meng Qi patted the mustard ring on his left hand.

Throw it inside, and even the experts on the Heavenly Ranking will find it difficult to spy on it.

"When the next reincarnation mission begins, we will bring it to the Master of the Six Paths of Reincarnation for appraisal." Meng Qi added using voice transmission.

Jiang Zhiwei just reminded her out of habit, but seeing that Meng Qi was well prepared, she didn't say much.

At this time, due to the news of the fight just now, many people from the world came closer, including the head catcher from Six Doors. The three of them seized the time, put away their belongings, let Jiang Hengchuan's flesh and blood be buried with the water, and quickly left the shore.

…………

As the sun set, Meng Qi found that the Hero Building was empty. It was said that when the "Ziwei Star Lord" fought against Taoist Shouzhuo, there had been commotion here. After many guests had eaten and drank, they suddenly found that they did not need to pay. .

"Ren Pingsheng was quite alert, and he managed to escape so quickly..." Meng Qi sighed with emotion, turned a few streets and walked towards the entrance of the alley where the dragon locust tree was.

The sky was getting dark, and the shadows under the locust tree were deep and gloomy. The old man carving the wooden statue stood in front of the door with his hands folded, as if waiting for Meng Qi.

There was no carving knife, no wooden blocks, and no statues around him. He was dressed in a green robe and held an ordinary long sword in his hand. Even if he was waiting for someone, he could only concentrate on waiting.

"Senior's sword was truly astonishing, cutting off the path to the Nine Netherworlds." Meng Qi could no longer pretend not to recognize the founder of the Thrushcross Grange sect, "One Heart Sword" Lu Zhiping, and praised him honestly.

Mr. Lu Da smiled casually: "It's just a gap in the Nine Netherworld. Some evil spirits are unwilling to give up and always want to return to the human world."

He paused and said, "Last time I told you that I would tell you something after the great tide of Jinshui. Are you willing to listen now?"

Meng Qi cupped his hands and saluted: "I would like to hear the details."

Mr. Lu Da's face was slightly solemn: "Brother, depending on your fortune, flowers are blooming and fire is cooking oil. You should have many adventures and many misfortunes turn into good fortunes. Can you?"

"Yes, senior." Meng Qi also became serious.

Mr. Lu Da sighed: "But your luck does not originate from yourself. It is like a tree without roots or a source of water. It seems that someone deliberately did it, or it is some kind of accumulation that cannot be controlled by itself. It seems that It burns vigorously, but in the end, it may be dangerous and it will all come to nothing.”

This refers to the "luck" brought by the Lord of Six Paths of Reincarnation. Because there are reincarnation tasks, exchanges, and various adventures in the world, is it so? Or does it refer to other reasons, such as Ananda? Meng Qi's thoughts were rolling, as if there was a turbulent wave in his heart.

"Senior, did you teach me anything?" Meng Qi barely suppressed the confusion and shock in his heart.

Mr. Lu Da shook his head and said with a smile: "You have to walk your own path. This wood carving is a gift for you to watch for a few days."

He handed Meng Qi a wood carving. The carving was exactly like Meng Qi himself, lifelike, and his features were steady yet hidden.

Meng Qi took the wood carving and felt that it was no different from the ones sold on the street, but he did not dare to look down upon it and put it away honestly:

"Thank you, senior."

Mr. Lu Da nodded and floated away with the world-famous "One Heart Sword" in his hands. The vicissitudes of his dark green back gradually disappeared into the sea of ​​people, without taking away a trace of dust.

Meng Qi suppressed his messy thoughts and sighed softly. What Mr. Lu Da said was still far away from him, so there was no need to worry about it for the time being.

…………

On Crescent Lake, a boat with "Deng Ji Fish House" floating in the middle of the lake.

"Three guests, just past is the branch of the Dajiang Gang. Can we go boating on the lake here?" The owner of the fish shop is a young fisherman's wife. Her skin is darker due to exposure to the sun and rain, and she looks quite handsome. , the words are not rude.

Meng Qi was wearing white clothes and holding a long sword. The "Heaven's Wound" finally did not need to be carried on his back, but was stored in the mustard seed ring. Hearing this, he smiled and said: "We are all common people, and we can go boating anywhere. The important thing is Eat crab.”

The fisherman's wife pursed her lips and smiled: "The guest is quite straightforward, so I will prepare now."

Turning around, he saw Ruan Yushu looking like he was about to say a few words. Meng Qi was afraid of her attack, so he hurriedly said: "The autumn air is crisp, it is the time to taste lake crabs, and Dengji Fish Farm has been passed down for hundreds of years. The crabs are fat and meaty, and the sauce is special. It’s the best in Maoling. I spent a lot of money to charter the entire boat.”

At the end of the sentence, he showed off the chartered boat and looked at Ruan Yushu and Jiang Zhiwei as if seeking admiration. He looked like a nouveau riche.

Seeing him like this, Jiang Zhiwei couldn't help laughing out loud. She would probably be disgusted if others did this, but the little monk talked freely and showed off, which was particularly funny. She felt relaxed and didn't feel that she had lost her manners at all.

Ruan Yushu tasted the lotus tea and said lightly: "The noble families prepare their own boats and ask the cooks to do it."

Meng Qi had expected it and raised his right hand: "It's so troublesome, and there are maids and servants around, and all the people at the table are strangers. How can you be so free and concentrate on the food?"

I knew you would say that!

Ruan Yushu nodded gently: "Not bad."

Meng Qi became more and more proud: "How about it? I said I would treat you to delicious food, how could I break my promise?"

"So I am a supplement." Jiang Zhi smiled and teased.

Meng Qi was choked by his own saliva and almost turned into the eldest son of the Wang family: "How could it be? Invite her and you, call friends, taste crabs and drink wine, wouldn't it be fun?" Jiang Zhiwei was joking. Seeing Meng Qi change the subject, she did not stop him and smiled: "Maoling Lake crabs are famous all over the world. I have eaten them several times in the sect. They are really good, but after a long journey, even if there is a secret method to preserve them, how can they compare to the crabs in the lake?" "Yes!" Ruan Yushu seemed to swallow his saliva. The three of them chatted about the fun of Maoling Lake crabs until the fisherman's wife brought up a large plate of steamed red lake crabs. "This is the secret dipping sauce and side dishes, this is the crescent snow silk fish, and this is the home-brewed rice wine. When tasting crabs, add a cup to make the flavor more delicious." The fisherman's wife said with a smile. Smelling the fragrance, Ruan Yushu's hands twitched, as if he couldn't wait. "It is a great pleasure to have a few friends who are close to each other, go boating on the lake, taste wine and eat crabs. Cheers!" Meng Qi poured a glass of rice wine and drank it first as a toast.

Jiang Zhiwei and Ruan Yushu were both strong and not afraid of drinking, so they each drank a glass.

The autumn breeze was refreshing and the water was rippling. It was indeed a rare relaxation and pleasure to be able to get together after the reincarnation mission, taste wine and eat crabs.

Putting down the wine glass, Ruan Yushu took a crab and peeled the shell and bent the legs very quickly. In just a moment, the plump crab meat, crab roe, etc. were fully presented.

She seemed impatient and moved eagerly, but in fact, every move was elegant, and the posture of peeling the crab was like a landscape.

Ruan Yushu ate the crab meat with water and squinted slightly:

"Not bad, well-deserved."

Her expression and words made Meng Qi's appetite move, but looking at the crab in front of him, he almost couldn't peel the shell as perfectly as her.

Some time ago, he would put crabs into his mouth, bite off the shells with a crunch, and eat them with relish.

Jiang Zhi smiled, took a crab, stretched out her right hand, pressed it, and suddenly a sword energy burst out, the crab shell was shattered, and was "blown" to the side by the wind, revealing the deliciousness inside.

"It is indeed better than what I ate at the mountain gate." Jiang Zhi praised slightly.

Meng Qi was immediately inspired and also used his true qi to help. The control of the Eight-Nine Mysterious Art was amazing. In just a breath, the crab became naked.

After ordering some dipping water, Meng Qi ate the crab meat. He felt that the sweetness of the crab meat echoed in his mouth under the background of the strange taste of the dipping water. It was full of all five flavors, but not irritating. It was really delicious!

Seeing this, Ruan Yushu was stunned for a moment, picked up the second crab, and chose to "peel" the shell with true qi. It seemed that if he insisted on the elegant and normal routine, the crabs would be snatched away by the two people opposite!

How fast they ate!

Eating crabs and drinking wine, they were very happy. Half an hour later, the cups and plates were in a mess, and the crabs were swept away. Meng Qi was slightly drunk, clapping the table and singing folk songs.

Ruan Yushu wiped his hands, put the Qifengqin on the table, and played it softly, lofty and broad-minded, the water was calm, and the tranquility was far-reaching.

Meng Qi gradually stopped humming and leaned against the partition behind him, looking comfortable.

Jiang Zhiwei placed a long sword across his knees, listening quietly, with a happy expression.

After a while, the autumn wind came with moisture, and Ruan Yushu stopped playing the qin and said softly: "I have to return to Langya tomorrow. I am afraid I can't travel around the world before I am 18 years old."

"Well, I'll treat you to a meal in the reincarnation mission." Meng Qi comforted, his words were very real.

Jiang Zhiwei stroked the long sword and sighed: "'Young Master Qinglian' is not here yet, 'Long River of Sword Qi' has known the ending of Maoling before it arrived, and returned to the seaside, 'Five-Direction Emperor Sword' returned to the mountain with Senior Shouzhuo, and 'Wolf King' is missing. I wanted to test the heroes with swords, but failed to do so."

"Ziwei Star Lord" is extremely powerful, and at the critical moment, he forced Taoist Shouzhuo to retreat and escaped from Maoling.

"I was planning to invite you to 'hunt' the Wolf King, but unfortunately there is no clue for the time being, but it doesn't matter. Jiangdong heroes have gathered together, and if you want to challenge, are you afraid that you won't find anyone?" Meng Qi said.

Jiang Zhi smiled and said, "I'm reflecting on myself, but I have to leave Jiangdong for a while. The person in charge of Xijian Pavilion in Maoling informed me that I will go to Zhongzhou on behalf of the sect to celebrate the birthday of a deceased elder's family. Calculating the time, I have to set off tomorrow. Little monk, what about you?"

Reunion will eventually end in separation, and separation is for reunion. Meng Qi raised his glass and said, "Originally, I have no important business, so it's okay to go to Zhongzhou, but Senior Brother Qi hasn't arrived yet, so I have to stay here to wait for him. I can't let him come all the way here without any of us. How hurtful it is?"

Jiang Zhiwei smiled and nodded, "It should be so. I will return to Jiangdong within a month or two."

The fish shop boat returned to the shore, and Ruan Yushu and Jiang Zhiwei got off the boat one after another and went to Dajue Temple together.

Meng Qi looked at their backs and the lake that was stained with a layer of gold. He was drunk, slapped the table, and sang at the top of his voice:

"The rolling river flows eastward, and the waves wash away the heroes..."

The bold voice spread loudly, attracting many eyebrows. Ruan Yushu and Jiang Zhiwei also slowed down their pace to listen, but Meng Qi was not shy and relaxed:

"...So many things in ancient and modern times are all laughed at..."

I'm going out for something, so the third update will be later in the evening. You don't have to wait, let's watch it tomorrow morning.

It’s the penultimate night of December, please vote
