Chapter 298 Jinghu Lake, Montenegro Islands
“Brother Yuan, have some breakfast.”
Early the next morning, by the Jinghu Lake, Hua Wuying looked at the young boatman making preparations on the boat. , handed it over earlier.
Brother Yuan waved his hand without looking back: "Thank you, I won't eat."
Hua Xiaolan next to Hua Wuying smiled slightly: "If I let you eat, you can Eat.”
Hearing her voice, Brother Yuan trembled all over, obviously showing fear, and reluctantly took the breakfast.
The breakfast was just an ordinary brown sugar steamed bun, but he ate it with a tragic meaning, as if every bite he took was reducing his life span.
Hua Wuying knew what was going on as soon as he saw it, and he couldn't laugh or cry: "Don't worry, we didn't poison it."
"Not bad."
Hua Xiao Lan Yin said pitifully: "There is no chronic poison in the steamed buns, and you don't have to worry that you will die if I don't give you the antidote."
As soon as he said this, Brother Yuan started shaking even harder, his eyes were red, he lowered his head and chewed the steamed bun vigorously, as if he was looking forward to death.
After finishing the steamed buns, he raised his head, took a deep breath, and said with a trembling voice: "I, I have finished eating, please don't harm the people in the town..."
Hua Xiaolanzhan Yan Yixiao: "Well done."
Hua Wuying covered his face.
In order to go to the Montenegro Islands, Yuan Ye... This is the name of the young boatman. He did a lot of work.
Check the boat, prepare food, and there are many tools on the boat, such as ropes, knives, flints, fishing poles, fish nets... and even many medicinal herbs.
These things filled the boat so much that there was not much space left.
Hua Wuying also gave him a bag of silver as a thank you gift, but he refused, saying only, "Let's wait until we can come back alive."
“The day you chose is good. The weather has been fair and the wind has been moderate recently. If it’s the rainy season in a few days, I won’t be able to sail the boat even if you poison me.”
While packing the things on the boat, Yuan Ye said dullly: "We will probably spend more than two days on the road. If you don't have enough dry food, prepare more, just in case."< br>
Hua Wuying was slightly shocked: "Two days? It takes so much time?"
"This is a better estimate."
Yuan Ye said: "There are too many reefs and currents around the Black Mountain Islands. It is also very fast, and there is only one waterway that is barely accessible... But if you want to enter the archipelago, you must first pass through the Guimen Waterway."
Hua Xiaolan frowned: "The Guimen Waterway?"
"Not bad."
Yuan Ye sighed: "That's the name given by my father... Although there are not many reefs there, the currents are extremely complex and changeable. It is very tiring to punt the boat. If you want to pass through the Guimen Channel, you have to temporarily pull over every other section of the way." After resting on the shore for two to three days, it was possible to enter the Black Mountain Islands."
Hua Wuying and Hua Xiaolan looked at each other with some surprise in their eyes.
None of them live near the water, so naturally they have no deep understanding of the size of Jinghu Lake and the complexity of its waterways.
It turns out that just crossing this so-called "Ghost Gate Waterway" will take two or three days?
Ghost Gate Waterway... This name is really apt. You think it is the only way to survive, but it may also be the ghost gate of purgatory that takes you to the afterlife.
"Young leader, are you scared?" Hua Xiaolan suddenly asked.
Hua Wuying smiled softly: "Since someone can establish a sect in the Black Mountain Islands, I believe it will not be a dead end, and we will definitely be able to enter."
After that, he He stepped onto the boat first and said to Yuan Ye: "Don't worry, just prepare your own food. We cultivators can go without eating or drinking for several days. If there is an accident, take care of your own life." "
Hua Xiaolan took a deep look at his back and followed him.
After Yuan Ye carefully checked the things a few more times, he finally let out a long sigh, shook his oar, and slowly sailed into the Mirror Lake.
There were many fishermen by the lake, and they all seemed to know what happened to Yuan Ye. They looked at him from a distance, expressing sympathy and emotion. ……
The sun is scorching and there is no cloud in the sky.
On the empty and vast Jinghu Lake, the fishermen gradually disappeared, leaving only a small boat floating alone on the lake.
In the tent of the small boat house, Hua Wuying and Hua Xiaolan were sitting opposite each other, their legs touching each other due to the piles of supplies. The two looked at each other, feeling a little embarrassed for some reason.
Finally, Hua Wuying spoke first.
"Junior Sister Hua, how did you originally plan to obtain the thousand-year-old Nine-section Bellflower?"
He asked softly: "Lingjing Sect is a sect after all, your poison skills No matter how strong you are, it is impossible for one person to fight against the entire sect, but what kind of treasures have you prepared in exchange?"
Hua Xiaolan curled her lips and smiled: "If I had such treasures, what would I do here? ”
Hua Wuying sighed lightly.
That's right.
The thousand-year-old nine-section bellflower is the foundation of the Spirit Mirror Sect. If you take that thing, they may have to change the mountain gate. What kind of treasure can be exchanged for it?
But soon, Hua Xiaolan said again: "I didn't intend to steal their fairy grass, but such fairy things cannot be exchanged for courtesy and barter..."< br>
Speaking of this, she felt a flash of light: "I can't say, I can only use some special means. Fu Qingzhou taught me a lot back then."
Hua Wuying shook his head: "Junior Sister Hua, if we really get to the Spiritual Mirror Sect, can you give me a try first?"
Hua Xiaolan blinked at him: "What do you want to do?"
"Tell me the truth."
Hua Wuying said sternly: "I don't know how to let the Lingjing Sect give way. There are nine-section bellflowers, but..."
He considered his words and said softly: "Since we have established a sect, we will definitely not have no desires and desires. Even if the entire sect is bent on seeking immortality, They must ask for something. "
"As long as they are willing to make demands, even if it means reaching for the stars or fishing for the moon, as long as we can reach a deal, we can do it. Only then will we have a clear conscience in exchange for the fairy grass. .”
Hua Xiaolan was obviously startled when she heard him talking about reaching for stars from the sky and fishing for the moon from the sea, but soon she sneered: "Young leader, you have such a loud tone. If you really want to reach for the stars and fish for the moon, I will wait until you can get it done." "Little girl, I have already become a withered skeleton. What do I need from the fairy grass?"
Hua Wuying said with a smile: "If this must be the case, I have no choice but to return to the Wulin League and ask for help from the master, or perhaps ask for help." Find someone else to help me."
Speaking of this, he felt a rare sense of arrogance: "I have traveled around the world for many years and have nothing but friends all over the world. I believe that if I really want something, someone will do my best. Help."
Hua Xiaolan already knew about his temporary departure from the Wulin Alliance. She was a little surprised to hear what he said: "Are you willing to go back and ask for help from Alliance Leader Jiang again?"
< br>"There is no quarrel between me and Master. This time I walked alone just to cultivate my mind."
Hua Wuying said seriously: "But if it involves the life and death of Junior Sister Hua, everything can be put on hold."
Hua Xiaolan was slightly surprised and opened her mouth, but in the end she did not say anything to argue.
There was a strange twinkle in her eyes. After a while, she asked with a smile: "Is this how you usually do things? When you meet someone, you will help them wholeheartedly?"
Hua Wuying nodded slightly.
“What a weirdo.”
Hua Xiaolan shook her head and said: "I wonder how Leader Jiang taught you to be like this."
Hua Wuying smiled and was about to speak when the boat suddenly swayed. Yuan Ye's nervous voice came.
"Sit tight!"
"The Ghost Gate Waterway is here!"
