The four steamed buns were probably made by Mr. Chen at home. The fillings were quite solid, but the vegetable buns were a bit salty.
After eating, Ji Yuan kneaded the dried lotus leaves into a ball, threw them into the grass on the shore, and left them to nature to decompose. The hemp rope was left on the boat to be returned to Old Man Chen next time.
Take a sip of wine and look at the green fishing rods beside you. Today’s situation seems not to be suitable for fishing.
Just after eating the steamed buns, several big fish swam from the bottom of the river. Although their dark backs were not as exaggerated as the dragons, they were still bigger than the awning boat under him.
Ji Yuan looked towards the south. With so many water tribe fairies rushing that way, something big must have happened somewhere in the Tongtian River. He just saw that all the water tribes passing by seemed to be taking their time, so it shouldn’t be an emergency. Not to mention too bad.
Anyway, this matter should not hinder the mortals outside the Tongtian River, let alone Ji Yuan. This is a place where aquatic spirits gather. No matter how curious you are, it is best not to delve into it.
Unconsciously, the weather is getting colder and colder.
On this day, Tian Jiyuan reluctantly lifted up the fishing rod and looked at the intact bait. The fish basket on the side was still empty.
“Hey…there’s no way to catch this fish!”
For the past few days, I have been unable to catch any fish. The fishermen on the Tongtian River must have been having a hard time these days, but after all, it is not the fishing season, and there are probably not many fishermen out there.
It’s just that I really want to drink fish soup, but I recently asked old man Chen to buy fresh fish, but he couldn’t.
Every once in a while, there will be water tribe fairies swimming by. Ji Yuan did the math casually, and by the time he noticed, dozens of waves had passed.
There are not many monsters in the whole Dazhen, let alone those with high moral standards, so Ji Yuan is very suspicious that there are not many aquatic monsters from outside the country.
‘It’s not the New Year yet, the water tribe doesn’t like this, right? ’
Just as he was thinking this, the sound of horse hooves and wheels came from the shore. Ji Yuan followed the sound and looked to the shore, and found that there was a team of horses and carriages coming towards this side of the road in the distance.
As the carriages and horses approached, Ji Yuan waited and watched for a while. There were literary figures circulating in several carriages. They should be tribute scholars who came to Beijing to take the exam. Their level was not too low. Judging from this battle, the family’s money would not be less.
At this time, snowflakes began to fall from the sky, drawing Ji Yuan’s attention to the beautiful scenery falling from the sky.
To sum it up, this is the first snow this year, and also the first snow Ji Yuan has seen in his life.
Reaching out his hand to catch one, the snowflakes were immediately melted by the warmth of his palms. He picked up the jug on the side and pulled out the cork. With his childlike innocence, Ji Yuan was like a child, using the mouth of the bottle to catch the snowflakes around him.
Cars and horses were passing by on the roadside. A scholar opened the curtain of the carriage and looked towards the river. He saw snow falling in the sky and the vast river surface. He also saw a fisherman in a coir raincoat on a solitary boat.
“After all, we are at the feet of the emperor, so Jing’s good intentions are even deeper!”
“Haha… Brother Shi is in a good mood, I’m almost freezing to death!”
The other scholar next to him tightened his blanket and held a charcoal heater in his hand.
In the carriage and horse team, a big man wearing a plush cloak rode out of the queue and approached the shore, shouting at Ji Yuan.
“Does the boatman know how far it is to the Zhuangyuan Ferry?”
When he heard the other party calling him, Ji Yuan put down his wine bottle and faced them, shouting in reply.
“Go south along the river, and you’ll be there in another ten miles~”
The man sitting on the horse bowed his hands in the direction of the awning boat, and then led the horse back to the team.
Looking at the relaxed appearance of these team members, Ji Yuan couldn’t help but wonder how his friend Master Yin would come.
The Yin family is not a rich family, but it is not too poor. They still have enough money to rent a carriage in the cold weather, and it is rare for Ning’an County to have a literary star, so the county will definitely help.
Ji Yuan watched the convoy leave and took a sip of Ji’s snow wine. Psychologically, he felt that the wine tasted better.
At the same time, in the mountains and rivers of the artistic conception, Ji Yuan also used his thoughts to draw out wisps of elixir energy from the elixir furnace and point them at the chess pieces. He would do this once every three days.
Nowadays, the most solidified chess piece is still Lu Shanjun’s sunspot, but Ji Yuan estimates that Lu Shanjun must truly make great progress in cultivation and successfully transform into a sunspot.
However, in the practice of monsters, transforming into a human is one of the biggest tests. It cannot be accomplished overnight. Even if you have a plan to “feed pills” from time to time, it is not clear how long it will take.
Compared with Ji Yuan’s lack of arrogance and impatience, the mentality of the two current leaders in Tongtianjiangshui Mansion is not very good.
Jiang Shen Ying Ruoli was sitting in the temple, watching the Shui tribe begin to decorate the main hall, and the Shui tribe taking corals from the sea to decorate. Jiang Shen, who seemed to be indifferent, was very anxious.
After a while, a dragon shadow entered Jiangshen Mansion and transformed into a man in brocade clothes in front of the palace. It was his brother Ying Feng.
Seeing Ying Feng walking in, Ying Ruoli stood up quickly.
“How was it?”
Ying Feng shook his head.
“Still not found…”
After saying this, Ying Feng walked closer, looked around, and whispered in a sneaky voice:
“That suggestion you made last time…may really need to be considered…”
After saying that, the brother and sister looked at each other with helpless expressions. It was rare for the majestic Tongtian Jiang Yijiang Zhengshen and the majestic Ryuko to be forced into this.
The two brothers and sisters, who were still frowning just a moment ago, suddenly looked stunned, and then looked towards the north, their faces suddenly brightened with joy. ……
On the bank of Tongtian River, on the team of carriages and horses that had just passed by Ji Yuan, a strong man in a big cloak added charcoal to the gentleman’s stove in the car, and then quickly mounted his horse to follow.
I just inadvertently turned my head and looked behind me, only to find a gorgeously dressed man standing next to the boat on the river bank dozens of feet away.
“Strange, was there this person over there just now?”
Hearing his doubts, his companions also turned to look.
“We just went there. I didn’t seem to see it just now…”
However, the two of them didn’t think too much. Maybe they didn’t notice someone coming from somewhere else.
On the other side, Ji Yuan was still drinking, but suddenly he felt a chill in his heart. When he put down the flask, he realized that a person was already standing by the river.
It’s still the same straight-fronted blouse, still the same look, it’s none other than Old Long Yinghong.
“Hehehehe… Mr. Ji’s elegance is still so good, wearing a coir raincoat and bamboo hat, wearing a small boat with black ponchos, drinking alone while watching the snow on the river!”
Ji Yuan quickly stood up and bowed to the old man.
“It turns out to be Mr. Ying. Don’t blame Ji Yuan for being at the door of Mr. Ying’s house and not visiting him!”
Old Long also returned the gift to Ji Yuan, laughing heartily.
“Hahahaha… Sir, if he had known that I was not at home, he would not have visited me. I thought that he would be absent for this reason, but unexpectedly, you were already waiting for me here. What have you prepared for me, sir?” A gift? ”
Congratulations? What gift?
Ji Yuan was a little confused, but before he could ask awkwardly, Lao Long himself said it with a smile.
“Just kidding, Mr. Ji has done a great favor by making a special trip to celebrate the birthday of me, a monster from the water tribe. Let’s go, follow me to the Tongtian River Water Mansion!”
Birthday?
Ji Yuan’s first reaction was that it was no wonder so many water demons were passing through. It turned out to be the True Dragon’s Birthday Banquet. It seemed that there were very few water demons passing through. Moreover, participating in the True Dragon’s Birthday Banquet, even if passing through some places governed by gods. If you go to Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com, 80% of the time it will be convenient and there will be no obstruction.
But… should the old gentleman invite me to attend the birthday banquet?
‘Hey, dear, are you trying to lure someone into the demon den? ’
Imagine that scene, the picture is a bit too beautiful.
“Well, Mr. Ying, why don’t we just have a drink on this small boat, and Ji will congratulate you on your birthday in advance? Under water… Isn’t it inconvenient for me to go there as a practitioner? Besides, this bird I borrowed the canopy boat just because I wanted to, so it’s not a good idea to keep it…”
Ying Hong has been looking for Ji Yuan for more than three years, and he is a little depressed after all. How can he give Ji Yuan any chance to make excuses?
“Hahaha… Sir, you are too worried. We are all good drinkers. You must try the fine wine collected by the Sifang Water Tribe. As for this boat, sir, you don’t have to worry!”
After saying that, Old Long jumped into the boat. With a wave of his hand, the boat shook and sank directly into the water.
“Crashing…” The sound of water waves started.
Ji Yuan almost lost his seat. When he reacted, the awning boat had already submerged under the water and was heading south at the bottom of the river. ……
On the carriage team ahead, the man still felt a little strange, so he turned back again after walking a long way.
Just when I turned around, I was stunned. I quickly rubbed my eyes. When I looked again, there was still nothing on the riverside where I originally asked for directions. I couldn’t see anything when I scanned the river in other directions.
‘Where’s the boat? ’
