Chapter 828: Countless Ghosts
The carriage traveled over a hundred miles, and the wheels rolled over stones, breaking some corners and making it very bumpy. Li Changxiao suggested going to a nearby town for repairs. Hua Baibai thought about it and agreed that the journey would be smooth, and the heroes didn't know that Zhang Mo was in their hands, so there would be no risk in entering the city.
In fact, Li Changxiao's sleeves were already filled with several hundred taels of silver. He would feel uncomfortable if he didn't spend it. He couldn't spend it in the wilderness, so he wanted to find an excuse to enter the city. Zhang Mo also scolded him for selling out his friends for fame. He regretted it in his heart. If he had known earlier, he would have asked Li Changxiao to rescue her. Why did she have to suffer such injustice and be trapped in the magic box for so long?
But then he thought, we have been trapped for so long, if we give up halfway and don't take this opportunity to uproot the Holy Church's stronghold, wouldn't all the grievances along the way be in vain? He suppressed his impetuousness again.
At least at mealtime, Li Changxiao would always chat with her to relieve her boredom. Zhang Mo sometimes thought that it was not bad to continue like this, and her mood was very complicated. They entered a town called "Liuhua Town". The group of people from the Baihua Sect checked into the inn and went back to their rooms to bathe, change clothes, and wash their hair.
After all, the Baihua Sect is mostly composed of women, and it is inconvenient to travel long distances. They had wanted to go into the city to rest for a long time, but no one dared to speak up. Li Changxiao said that when they went into the city to rest, most of the disciples were secretly grateful and had a good impression of the driver, but then they felt sorry for it. If they arrived at the destination, there would be no way to survive. I just don't know which sister will be under the sword when the time comes.
Enter the city and rest for two days. The carriage was brand new, and the Huajiao bought dry food, clothes, water and other sundries, and then left the city. Although warriors can live long, their food, clothing, housing and transportation are still the same as ordinary people. Zhang Mo has five goldfish in her body to transport qi and blood, and she has also studied a martial arts method of "entering the stomach and transforming into essence". Eating grains produces much less impurities than ordinary people.
They had been traveling for more than ten days without being bothered by this. After passing through a narrow path in the mountains, the carriage turned west and drove into a dense forest. Hua Baibai said, "We will reach the Holy Church in another seven or eight days." He turned around and asked, "What do you think of the matter I told you about?"
Hua Baibai had said frankly that she wanted Li Changxiao to be her personal driver from now on, and that she would raise a lot of money every day. Li Changxiao refused straightforwardly. Seeing that they were about to reach their destination, Hua Baibai could not help but ask again. There was already a hint of intimidation in her words.
Li Changxiao naturally refused. Hua Baibai was furious and thought to himself, "Hmph, then the time won't be up to you!" Driven by lust, he no longer had the intention to kill Li Changxiao. Instead, he wanted to use tough measures to keep him by his side.
Li Changxiao didn't think about the idea of spending money. He spent his days leisurely, turning money and drinking wine. The carriage passed through the dense forest and was blocked by a big river.
This river is called "Songlu River". It is over 100 miles wide and has no end in sight. At first glance, it looks as wide as the sea. Li Changxiao was stunned. Over the years, he has traveled back and forth from south to north and from north to south many times, but he has no impression of this big river.
Although there are so many rivers in the world, it is impossible for Li Changxiao to see them all. But given the vastness of this river, it must be famous. Li Changxiao has traveled to nearby towns and cities. Even if he has never seen it with his own eyes, he should have some impression of it.
He was immediately surprised. Hua Baibai was calling for the river boat. Li Changxiao asked the disciple beside him, "Has this river existed since ancient times?" The disciple snorted coldly, unwilling to pay attention to the dying man. Another disciple replied, "Rivers and streams have existed since ancient times. Do you still need to ask? Could it be that they were dug out by humans?"
The disciples burst into laughter. Hua Baibai heard the laughter and saw Li Changxiao joking with the disciples. He felt very uncomfortable and thought, "Great, I, the leader, invite Jiangchuan and you sluts start to play." He turned back from the river and scolded the disciples of Baihua Sect one by one.
Looking at Li Changxiao's face again, his heart was beating fast, and he thought: "This boy's appearance is rare in the world. I will force him to join the Baihua Sect, and when he is old and ugly, I will kill him."
Li Changxiao asked, "Master Hua, has this big river existed since ancient times?" Hua Baibai was stunned and replied, "Songlu River has existed since ancient times, but it is not that big. It is a drain..." At this point, a disciple came hurriedly and shouted, "Master, the boat has arrived." Hua Baibai said, "Okay! You drive the car."
Li Changxiao nodded, holding the reins, and led the boat to the riverside, opening the carriage. Several female disciples worked together to transport the magic-sealing box onto the river boat. The river boat was very large, more than ten feet high, and traveled back and forth across the Songlu River all year round. The boat owner was familiar with Hua Baibai, and they exchanged greetings as soon as they met.
The boat owner took Hua Baibai with him and wanted to go upstairs to the warm room to drink tea. Hua Baibai glanced at his disciples and Li Changxiao and said, "Keep an eye on them." He went upstairs with the boat owner.
When the two disappeared from the building, the boat sailed into the river and was more than ten feet away from the shore. The disciples of the Yibaihua Sect saw that the leader was not there, so they relaxed and talked boldly: "The leader must have done something with him." Another disciple said: "It is said that the two had an affair when they were young. Now the man is elegant and handsome, and the woman is still beautiful. The pleasure of men and women is inevitable."
Another disciple said: "Master, you are so romantic."
……
Because Hua Baibai had a close relationship with the boat owner, Li Changxiao and the other Huajiao disciples had no shortage of food, clothing, shelter and transportation thanks to her. Sailing on the river, several days passed in the blink of an eye. The water and the sky were one color, and the river scenery was spectacular. From time to time, several large fish jumped out of the river, causing splashes of water.
Hua Baibai spent the whole day with the boat owner, enjoying himself. There was a boat gang on Songlu River. When Hua Baibai was young, he was rescued on Songlu River, and thus got to know the young leader of the boat gang. The two had been unclear since then. Now, decades later, every time Hua Baibai took this river, he would take the opportunity to meet him privately.
But he dared not forget his work, and every day at noon, he would take time to let all the disciples report the day's situation. Apart from keeping a close watch on the Demon Sealing Box and not letting any mistakes happen, there was nothing special to pay attention to on the Endless River.
When the boat was halfway through the journey, a thick fog suddenly arose, and gusty winds blew.
