Chapter 485: Overturning the River and Drowning the Emperor's Heart

There are many mountainous areas in Dayu, and wherever the mountains converge, there is a large mountain god who coordinates the smaller mountain gods below, the land, as well as the mountain spirits and intelligent beasts.

Therefore, the twelve mountain gods each represent twelve mountain areas. But the mountains and the mountains are not tightly connected like the territory, tightly connected, leaving no gaps. On the contrary, there are dots, big or small, tight or loose, scattered and distributed in the territory of Dayu.

Panjiu City worships the mountain god of Elong Mountain and belongs to the Elong Mountain area.

After leaving Panjiu City and entering the wilderness, we entered the territory of the mountain god. Although we visited various temples and received some care, the journey was really difficult.

After walking for a day, it was getting late. There were evil wolves howling in the distance and grass snakes moving nearby. Although Zhang Long, Zhao and Hu were in a hurry, they had to stop and set up camp.

Zhao Hu lit the fire and Zhang Long spread the floor. Although they looked rough, they were well versed in the fine work and skillful craftsmanship of surviving in the wild without any ambiguity.

After a while, the fire rose. Zhao Hu went to collect firewood and Zhang Long went to collect fodder. Wang Ruyi was the only one left beside the fire.

She looked around, her eyes a little moist. During the day's journey, she fainted and woke up, woke up and fainted again, repeated several times, and finally fell into the night and was able to rest for a while.

But she found that it was difficult for her to sit down without any help. The sin ropes under her body-covering robe were heavy, so she could only stand by the fire and wait for the verdict.

She never imagined that one day she would end up in such a situation. Her true self was still there, but so were her emotions, fear and anger.

She could not be very peaceful during this journey until her final death.

With righteous thoughts, the two of them came back one after another. Zhang Long spread the ground with soft grass and made two small beds. Zhao Hu added firewood, and the two of them took out a piece of pancake from the bag and broke it to eat.

It was incomparable to the delicacies from the mountains the day before yesterday. My mouth was dry and tasteless, so I had to chew hard, but it filled my stomach, so I swallowed it. I drank a mouthful of hot water afterwards, and the dry food gradually expanded from my belly. It’s considered a full meal.

But the two of them didn't know that that simple pancake made Wang Ruyi greedy. She swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, not to mention pancakes, it was just chaff, which she hadn't eaten in a long time.

Along the way, her only ration was the breath-prolonging and awakening pill, but it couldn't be said to be shabby, because one black pill was worth ten taels, which was a luxury.

Now the man who sits on the throne is working very hard to keep himself alive. Wang Ruyi was unable to resist. She stood, sat, walked, and stopped for a long time, let alone suicide. It was so extravagant and far away. The two lay down, Zhao Hu glanced at Wang Ruyi, and fell asleep one after another.

Ignore her completely.

Wang Ruyi stood upright. Not only was her body tired, the boots were also filled with fine gravel. It was almost painful to step on them. Finally, at some point, she rolled her eyes and fainted.

When she woke up again, it was daytime. Zhang Long put out the fire, kicked her awake, and continued on his way. The journey was boring, almost repetitive.

Four days passed in a row.

After crossing the relatively flat Luojiu Mountain, we came to Fanjiang River. The river was turbulent, rolling like huge waves. How to cross it became another problem.

At this time, summer is approaching, and the cicadas are chirping everywhere, which is annoying. Zhang Long frowned. If he couldn't cross, he would have to go around the river, which would be a much longer journey.

Zhao Hu said: "Brother, don't panic, look at the other side, isn't there a small boat?"

"I'll call him over later and send him there. Is it inconvenient?"

Zhang Long was overjoyed and secretly said that his brother's eyesight was amazingly good. The other side of the river was so far away that he could see clearly.

Immediately, the two of them used their internal strength and roared loudly. However, the two banks were far apart, and there was a big river in the middle. The waves rolled in the river, and the water waves beat, not only swallowing the human body, but also drowning the soul. Even if the sound entered the river, it seemed like it was being dragged to the bottom of the river. I wonder if it can reach the other side.

Furthermore, even if it reaches the other side, I don’t know if that person will be willing to accept it. The surge today is extremely large.

Within a moment of the roar, people from the other side came with their boats. The river was not calm, and the boat was swaying so much that it made people worried that it would capsize. Zhang Long hesitated and said: "Brother, why don't we leave with Rao Jiang and stay far away? But it's better to be safe and we won't risk our lives, right?"

Zhao Hu sneered in his heart, Zhang Long didn't know something. There was a god living in Fanjianghe, named "Hezi, the god of Fanjiang". It was said to be Hezi, but he was actually the god of the river.

The character "子" was chosen because I didn't dare to obscure the river mother, so I chose it as "子". This journey to the south to strip away the name was all planned. Zhao Hu was not the protagonist, and Zhang Long was not the protagonist.

Wang Ruyi is the one.

Everything he did was aimed at Wang Ruyi. The Eight Immortals of Zui Chun Tower broke the emperor's heart, and now they drowned him in the river. Soon, the old man rowing the boat came over. He looked at Zhao Hu half an eye and said with a smile: "Hakka, you are lucky to meet me. Otherwise, it would have taken more than ten days to cross the river."

"What nonsense, get on the boat, get on the boat, you won't be short of money." Zhang Long said impatiently.

"Very good, very good." The old man holding the boat held his beard and smiled, which made Zhang Long angry and cursed: "What do you think?"

The old man punting the boat said: "It's just that my boat is small, but the rules are strict. I can only accept two guests a day, and I won't wait for you when the time comes. But I see there are three of you. What should I do?"

"You old thief! I see that your boat can accommodate four or five people. Do you want me to kill you with my sword?" Zhang Long was furious and wanted to kill you with his sword.

The old man played by Hezi pretended to be scared and took three or two steps back, almost falling into the river. Zhao Hu saw this and quickly stopped Zhang Long and said, "Brother, you are reckless, reckless, let me negotiate, you step aside, step aside."

Zhang Long put away his knife embarrassedly, Zhao Hu said, "You old boy, your eyes are blurry, look again, aren't there only two of us brothers here?"

The old man looked at Wang Ruyi, and the meaning was self-evident.

Zhao Hu sneered, "You don't know, she was born as a human, but she has no name or sex. Look at her, how much does she look like a human?"

Wang Ruyi heard this, clenched his fists under his robe, and his chest was full of hatred.

"If that's the case, you can get on the boat." Old man Hezi said lightly.

But he added, "But what you two said doesn't count. She has to nod herself."

Old Man Hezi looked at Wang Ruyi and suddenly shouted loudly: "Let me ask you, are you a human being?"

The voice was like a loud bell, shaking the heaven and earth, like a heart-wrenching question on the Tao stage. This question seems simple, but it is actually very mysterious.

Only those who practice Taoism and those who have experienced it personally can perceive it. Zhang Long and Zhao Hu looked at Wang Ruyi and waited for her answer.

Zhao Hu knew the truth and was also transformed by gods. He knew that as long as Wang Ruyi nodded, the emperor would drown in the overturned river and there would be no place to turn over. He was a human but actually not a human, let alone an emperor.

Zhang Long didn't know the truth and was just an ordinary warrior. He only knew that Wang Ruyi should say yes, so he and others could cross the river and save more than ten days of journey.

"You idiot, why don't you nod quickly?" Zhang Long scolded.

Wang Ruyi had never practiced Taoism, so she could only vaguely sense something was wrong, but she didn't know what it was. At this moment, she was hesitant.

If she nodded and admitted it, she could save ten days of walking. If she denied it, the road to Raojiang would be long, and Zhang Long and Zhao Hu would make things difficult for her, almost killing her.

How should she choose?

Stay true to myself? But wasn't that a dream? Since she was already alive, she could relax a little bit, and that was the right way, right?
