Chapter 94

Don't pretend to be cool, pretending to be cool will lead to bad luck.

Zhang Xingyu bought the second coolest horse in the market, and then logically was appointed as a member of the scout team by Lu Zhanfeng.

In Lu Zhanfeng's words: "You are well-equipped, your horse is heroic, you are the best candidate for a scout."

Riding a horse, raising a whip, Zhang Xingyu ran out hundreds of miles with the other four unlucky guys.

In front is a vast river.

The river is turbulent, and there is no one on the river.

"Look, there is a small boat on the shore." A companion shouted loudly.

Zhang Xingyu looked in the direction of the voice, and sure enough, he saw a small wooden boat tied to the sand and stones on the shore.

On the bow of the boat, an old man in green clothes was fishing.

"A straw hat, a boat, a silk line, an inch hook; a song, a bottle of wine, a person fishing alone in the autumn river."

Isn't this picture a beautiful "Fishing on the River" painting.

"Go over and see."

After Zhang Xingyu finished speaking, he ran to the old man.

Coming to the side of the boat, he saw the old man in green clothes focusing on the river.

Zhang Xingyu thought about it, and stood quietly by the boat waiting.

At this time, the other five companions also ran over.

Seeing Zhang Xingyu like this, a companion asked loudly: "Zhang Xingyu, why don't you ask the boatman if he can take us across the river?"

"Shh" on the bow of the boat, the old man in green clothes didn't lift his head, and made a light shushing sound, signaling everyone to be quiet.

The companion still wanted to say something, but Zhang Xingyu stopped him immediately.

Everyone stood by the boat waiting quietly.

After a while, the float on the river sank, and the old man in green clothes lifted the fishing rod hard, dragging a fat river fish into the small boat.

"I have a treat today." The old man laughed.

Seeing the old man catch the fish, his mood was comfortable, so Zhang Xingyu stepped forward to ask: "Old man. Hello. May I ask if you can take us across the river?"

The old man stared at Zhang Xingyu and asked: "Who are you? Why do you want to cross the river?"

Zhang Xingyu replied respectfully: "Old man, we are students of Nanhua Immortal Academy, going to the Myriad Demon Sea for training. Old man, if you can take us across the river, we are willing to pay gold coins as a reward."

The old man stared at Zhang Xingyu and asked: "Since you want to cross the river, why don't you understand the rules?"

"What rules?" Zhang Xingyu was confused.

The other students were also confused, all shaking their heads to show they didn't know.

The old man looked at them in surprise: "It seems you really don't know."

Pausing, he said again: "Seeing that your attitude is still respectful, I will spare you this time. Go quickly. If you want to cross the river, prepare the things and come back."

Several companions heard the old man's words and were about to get angry, but Zhang Xingyu stepped forward to stop them.

"Students, this matter is quite strange, we don't need to cause more trouble, let's go back and ask clearly."

After a lot of effort, Zhang Xingyu finally persuaded the angry companions.

He bowed to the old man and said: "Old senior, sorry for the disturbance. We will leave now."

After speaking, he pulled several companions and walked back.

"Wait. They can go, little guy, you stay and accompany me to drink and chat." The old man pointed to Zhang Xingyu and said.

Nanhua Immortal Academy, Long Xiaotian's courtyard.

Long Xiaotian said to Shao Ke, who was standing in front of him: "Shao Ke, calculate the time, that waste should be at the Qinglong River soon, right?"

Shao Ke lowered his head and replied softly: "Young Master Long is wise, Zhang Xingyu should have arrived at the Qinglong River by now."

Long Xiaotian asked again: "Shao Ke, tell me, will that old dragon eat that waste?"

Shao Ke nodded while replying: "This time, Zhang Xingyu will definitely not escape death. That old dragon has long set a rule that cultivators who want to cross the river must offer talismans and tributes, otherwise they will stay as his side dish. This time, you asked Lu Zhanfeng to arrange for him to act as a scout and rush to the Qinglong River before the main team. The academy hasn't sent anyone to send talismans and tributes to the old dragon, and Zhang Xingyu and others rushed there rashly, so they will definitely become the delicacy in the old dragon's mouth."

Long Xiaotian was very happy when he heard this: "In that case, that waste is sure to die. Hahahaha..."

After laughing for a while, he patted Shao Ke on the shoulder: "If you want to come up with bad ideas, you are the best, Shao Ke. This time, being able to kill with a borrowed knife and remove this scourge Zhang Xingyu, you have made a great contribution. Later, go and collect 1,000 spirit stones as a reward."

"Thank you, Young Master Long." Shao Ke buried his head even lower.

By the big river, Zhang Xingyu boarded the small boat.

The old man stroked his long beard and asked softly: "Young man, do you know what this river is called?"

Zhang Xingyu replied respectfully: "Qinglong River."

The old man nodded, and then asked: "Do you know who lives in this Qinglong River?"

"In the river, it must be creatures like fish, shrimp, and river crabs." Zhang Xingyu said.

"What else?" The old man asked.

Zhang Xingyu shook his head: "Junior doesn't know."

"There is also a green dragon." The old man said indifferently.

Zhang Xingyu was shocked when he heard this: "There is also a green dragon?"

"Yes, a green dragon, guarding this winding 800-mile river, has been for thousands of years." The old man said, as if introducing it to Zhang Xingyu, and as if talking to himself.

"A dragon, thousands of years? Then why doesn't he leave?" Zhang Xingyu asked in surprise.

"Because of a promise. It made a promise to a person to protect the peace of the people on both sides of the river." The old man said softly, as if immersed in the memory of the past.

"Oh. So that's it. It's just that who is that person, worthy of the green dragon senior making a promise." Zhang Xingyu asked.

The old man looked up, looked in the direction of Nanhua Immortal Academy, and said leisurely: "His name is Liu Changsheng."

"So it's Senior Liu Changsheng. He is Nanhua Daxian, so he is worthy of the green dragon senior making a promise." Zhang Xingyu said.

The old man was very surprised when he heard Zhang Xingyu's words: "Little guy, do you also know the name of Nanhua Daxian?"

Zhang Xingyu nodded: "Some time ago, I went to Dengxian Feng and saw the senior's physical body and remnant soul. It was the senior's remnant soul who told me."

The old man was even more surprised when he heard this: "You climbed to the top of Dengxian Feng?"

"Yes. I climbed for thirty days before I climbed to the top of the peak. I was starving." Zhang Xingyu answered honestly.

The old man looked at Zhang Xingyu carefully, and sighed leisurely: "Thousands of years, finally someone climbed to the top of Dengxian Feng. The sky is going to change."

After a long time, he asked Zhang Xingyu: "Little guy, what is your name?"

"Junior Zhang Xingyu, Zhang with a bow and long, Xing of the stars, Yu of the universe." Zhang Xingyu replied.

The old man nodded and said softly: "What a good name. Vast galaxy, boundless universe, cultivators should go and see, go and walk."

After a while, the old man said happily: "I came out to relax today, and actually met an old friend's junior brother, which is really happy."

Then, he issued an invitation to Zhang Xingyu loudly: "Little guy, my home is not far from here, would you like to go to my home and sit?"

"I dare not disobey the elder's order. Then junior will disturb you." Zhang Xingyu bowed and agreed.

"Plop."

As soon as the words fell, the old man pulled him and jumped into the river.
