Chapter 143: People in the Boat, Shadows in the Water

"I wonder what the price is for if I want to go to the other side?" Zhou Cheng did not get on the ship immediately, but asked about the price first...

Ask the price before the transaction to avoid disputes afterwards. This is the safest thing to do.

However, Zhou Cheng's actions made people unhappy. The curtain of the wooden boat was lifted and a little girl came out from it. She looked like a pink, jade-carved porcelain doll, but she seemed to be angry.

As soon as he came out, he pinched his waist and criticized Zhou Cheng: "Why are you a scholar so vulgar? You talk about money all the time, and you don't look like a scholar at all! Mr. Zhao has been ferrying people here for decades, but he has never collected money."

At this time, Zhou Cheng was still dressed as a scholar in blue shirt. This made him look more ordinary and could save him a lot of offense. After all, there were too many people who knew the Taoist robes of Chunyang Sect.

Zhou Cheng couldn't help laughing abruptly when he heard the little girl's accusation, bowed to the old man and said, "It's me Meng Lang, please don't mind the boatman."

This little girl is only in her teens. She was very lively. Zhou Cheng didn't feel unhappy because of her accusations. After all, it was indeed a bit abrupt to ask an old man who had crossed the river for decades without compensation.

Seeing that Zhou Cheng was so quick, the little girl felt a little embarrassed and her cheeks were slightly red. She seemed to feel that she had spoken a little too heavily just now. She fiddled with her fingers and whispered: "Look, I will forgive you for your sincere apology!"

After saying that, the little girl turned around and rushed into the boat.

At this time, the old man shook his head and smiled, "Please don't care about Xiaodie's words. This child is innocent and cute. Please get on the boat, it will rain heavily in a while."

"Thank you, the boatman." Zhou Cheng bowed and thanked him, then boarded the wooden boat and walked into the boat.

The space inside the wooden boat is not large, and there are only six people sitting on two rows of benches. Before Zhou Cheng came in, there were already three people sitting in the boat.

Except for the little girl before, the other two were middle-aged in their forties and a boy who looked like he was eighteen or nineteen years old. They were dressed quite brightly and had a very rosy face. They should have all come from a wealthy family.

Moreover, under the sensing of the spiritual consciousness, Zhou Cheng discovered that the middle-aged and young people had magic power. The former had the cultivation level of the Power and Soul Stage. The young people should have just opened their souls, and their magic power was not very stable.

Seeing Zhou Cheng come in, the little girl got off a row of benches and sat next to the middle-aged man. She left the separate row of benches to Zhou Cheng.

"Dad, do you think this scholar is a weapon refiner? What kind of cultivation is it?" the little girl pulled the middle-aged man's clothes and pointed at Zhou Cheng and asked.

"Xiaodie, don't talk nonsense, how can you find out about people's cultivation?" The middle-aged man whispered, then bowed to Zhou Cheng and said, "The little girl is ignorant, please forgive me."

Zhou Cheng naturally didn't care about these things, and waved his hand and said, "It's okay, Xiaodie is innocent and I like it very much."

The little girl turned her head and stuck out her tongue at Zhou Cheng, curled her lips and said, "I don't want you to like it."

The middle-aged man gently patted the little girl's hair and said to Zhou Cheng: "This young master, meeting is fate. In Shen Changxing, this is the dog son Shen Wenyun, this is the little girl Shen Die. I wonder what the young master is called?"

Zhou Cheng said: "I'm in Yuan Qing."

Zhou Qingyuan's identity is already on the Yinghua list, so he did not use that name, but instead used the word "Qingyuan" to be a pseudonym.

"Yuan Qing... What a good name." Chen Changxing praised and asked Zhou Cheng again: "I wonder where the young master is going?"

"Read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles. I want to go to Northern Qi for a trip." Zhou Cheng looked like a scholar who was good at studying. He is now a scholar Yuan Qing. It is not Zhou Qingyuan, Chunyang Zong.

"Bei Qi! We are also going to Bei Qi!" Chen Die seemed to have completely forgotten the unhappiness just now, and said to Zhou Cheng with a smile: "I heard that Zhou Qingyuan is a disciple of the Chunyang Sect of Northern Qi. Hehe, if I have the chance, I must go to Chunyang Sect to see it."

What? Brother Zhou Qingyuan... Zhou Cheng was a little confused by Chen Die's words. When did he have such a sister?

"You are talking about Zhou Qingyuan, but Zhou Qingyuan, who was on the Yinghua List in that period of power?" Zhou Cheng asked tentatively.

Chen Die nodded heavily, waved his fist and said, "That's right, it's him! I admire Brother Zhou Qingyuan so much! It's so amazing to defeat the bitter old demon in Tianchong Realm in the Lipo Stage and save hundreds of thousands of people in Yueling County!"

Is this an admirer? Zhou Cheng suddenly felt that it seemed quite good to hear a little girl say this.

We are so easily satisfied!

Zhou Chengqiang held back his smile and said, "Maybe, he might even use any secret treasure."

Chen Die shook his head repeatedly when he heard this and said, "Everyone on the Yinghua list said that Brother Zhou Qingyuan is a music maker and a peerless genius who can summon tools. He defeated the bitter old demon with the magic weapon he had learned!"

Then she came to Shen Wenyun, who had been silent all the time, shook the other party's arm and said, "Brother, are you right? Is Brother Zhou Qingyuan very powerful?"

Shen Wenyun looked helpless. It was obvious that his own sister asked her if the other "brother" was very powerful, and it didn't feel very good.

However, he still exclaimed: "Zhou Qingyuan is indeed well-known. Although the cultivation level of the Old Devouring Demon at that time was suppressed by the formation was only at the Yingpo stage, he already had extremely powerful strength with the sixth-level artifact in his hand. Zhou Qingyuan only had the perfect magic power of the Aura stage in Songyan's summoning weapon, but he was able to kill the Old Devouring Devouring Devouring Devouring in one fell swoop. It was really powerful."

Then he said to Zhou Cheng: "Young Master Yuan, what you said just now is indeed a bit hasty. Zhou Qingyuan's strength should be unquestionable. After all, this is a testimony of hundreds of thousands of Yueling County."

Zhou Cheng felt a little strange now. He was preached for "belief" himself, because "Zhou Qingyuan's strength is beyond doubt"...

"Ahem, I figured it out. Zhou Qingyuan is indeed very powerful. It is normal to be on the Yinghua list. What I just said is indeed hasty."

It feels even more wonderful to praise yourself... Zhou Cheng thought silently in his heart.

Chen Die finally nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well, that's right! Brother Zhou Qingyuan will definitely be ranked first in the Yinghua List in no time!"

Cheng you have auspicious words, Zhou Cheng smiled in his heart.

Boom!

At this moment, the wooden boat suddenly trembled without warning, and Chen Die staggered and almost fell to the ground, thanks to Zhou Cheng who supported her.

"Thank you." Chen Die thanked in a whisper.

At this time, the old man's voice came from outside the ship: "Forgive me, I just encountered a whirlpool. The old man was caught off guard. Now there should be nothing wrong."

The Shen family members finally calmed down, but Zhou Cheng frowned slightly. The trembling of the wooden boat just now did not seem to be because of the whirlpool of water, but it seemed to be hit by something.

However, nothing happened until the wooden boat landed. Although Zhou Cheng was a little confused, he did not ask any more questions. After saying goodbye to the old man and the Shen family, he left directly.

After the Shen family and the other three left, the old man rowed the wooden boat to the river and stopped at the place with the strongest water vapor in the center.

"A sin, twenty years have passed, and your fierceness has not yet been eliminated!"

An indescribable aura suddenly surged from the old man's body. In an instant, the laws of heaven and earth, the infinite Taoist rhymes all bowed their heads and lingered on the wooden boat.

Then the river water surged, and a human figure condensed in the water vapor, and a harsh sound like a friction between ice edges.

"Hahaha, Zhao Tafa, Zhao Tianzun! Is it worth it for you to suppress me like this? You have spent these twenty years of time! Why not let me go, how about it?"

The old man's expression remained unchanged, and he blew forward gently. In an instant, a strong wind blew up on the Cang Water. Within a radius of hundreds of miles, the water vapor dissipated, and the human figure disappeared without a trace.

"Stay well, this bottom of the water is your destination."

The rivers were surging and the waves were uncertain. There was an extremely resentful voice in it: "Okay, okay! Since you refuse to let me go, I will waste you to death! Your human lifespan is short. I see who will suppress me after you die of old age!"

"Don't worry, I will drag you to the world before I die," the old man's calm and indifferent voice came to the bottom of the water.
