Chapter 499: Inner Scene

~17 min read 3,211 words

In a flash, seventeen years of time passed, and this Zhuxi Village seemed to have changed its appearance.

Several families built new houses, some moved to the city, and the small fish pond of the neighbor was also filled, and someone planted a piece of mulberry and jujube on it.

Only the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village still had roots intertwined, branches twisted, and the shade was still thick.

With the rising breeze, the branches above the head, like the bamboo forest not far away, rustled, gathering into a dense sound of nature, like rain, and like the tide.

Chen Hang walked toward the entrance of the village, and from time to time, passersby greeted him.

When he reached the water bank full of reeds, he took the opportunity to untie the boat rope, and in the clear water waves, he also saw his own face clearly.

It was a rough, dark face covered with traces of wind and frost.

Seventeen years of cold and heat had left many white hairs on his temples, and there were a few old scars on his forehead that he had accidentally left, winding and intertwined like small centipedes.

This was the standard appearance of a water town fisherman, looking very ordinary and unremarkable.

Only those eyes were deep and quiet, like deep lake water, without waves or wind...

Chen Hang looked at the reflection in the water for a moment, and as a feathered cormorant suddenly startled and flew away, ripples spread out, and the reflection suddenly blurred, stirred into the water waves.

And when Chen Hang moved the boat into the water and was about to row the boat,

a voice suddenly sounded urgently on the shore, and then in the movement of the reeds being pushed aside, a figure hurriedly rushed out.

"He Ji."

Chen Hang smiled.

The person waving at the water bank at this time was a tall man of fifteen or sixteen.

He was wearing blue cloth shirt and trousers, with a straight nose and square mouth, large ears, wearing a sun hat on his head, and holding a bowl of rice porridge in his hand, which was steaming hot.

Obviously, he was only halfway through eating when he rushed out of the house in a hurry.

"Uncle Chen!"

He Ji put down the wooden bowl, and after greeting Chen Hang, he began to roll up his trouser legs:

"Are you going down the river alone today? Wait for me for a while, let me put the bowl at home, take the tools, and I will accompany you."

"No need." Chen Hang shook his head.

"Uncle Chen, saying this is just being polite to me. Uncle Chen and my father have been old partners for many years. Now that my father has gone out to visit relatives, it is only right for me to help with the work on the boat!"

Hearing this, He Ji didn't stop his movements, but rolled his trouser legs higher, eager to try.

"I have watched you grow up, how can I not know your little tricks?"

Chen Hang washed his hands with the river water below, smiled faintly:

"Tell me, who did you take benefits from this time to speak for me, the Wang girl, or

the third lady of the Qian family?"

He Ji was the eldest son of He Chang. Shortly after Chen Hang joined the Zhuxi Gang, He Chang married a woman from a neighboring village. After marriage, the couple got along very well, giving birth to three sons and two daughters in succession, which can be described as a prosperous family.

And with the rotation of more than ten years of light, He Ji also grew from a yellow-mouthed baby who was still being breastfed into a heroic teenager today.

He was not only a good hand at fishing, learning all the skills of He Chang, but also better than his father.

Even his temperament was exactly the same as that of this father and son, as if they were carved from the same mold.

Back then, He Chang was keen on matchmaking for Chen Hang, and was repeatedly refused, but he was never discouraged, as if he was tireless, and now He Ji continued to take over the relay.

And this person was more flexible than his father, and would collect some benefits from the woman in advance.

He Ji actually didn't want much, or a fresh fish, or some chestnuts and lotus roots. Although they were not valuable things, they were things he couldn't do for nothing.

However, after this matter reached He Chang's ears, He Chang was furious, and grabbed He Ji's neck, personally leading him from door to door to return them, which also caused a sensation in Zhuxi Village at that time.

At this time, hearing Chen Hang point out his thoughts in one word, He Ji's hand that was rolling up his trouser legs stiffened slightly.

He raised his head sheepishly, and there was a trace of embarrassment on his face.

"Uncle Chen, since that day, I have already known my mistakes and changed, and I dare not commit them again. We are all people of the water town, who would lack some fish, shrimp, and lotus roots?

I just wanted to use this method to test the sincerity of the woman. If they really want to be a couple with Uncle Chen, what are some fish and shrimp, and the fish and shrimp were also returned to Uncle Chen, and if—"

Seeing He Ji becoming more and more enthusiastic as he spoke, this chatterbox skill was even better than He Chang's.

Chen Hang waved his hand slightly, signaling:

"It's not too late for you to drink the porridge in the bowl before talking."

"How can this be? I swear I really didn't take any benefits this time. Since I was beaten, I dare not do it again. I finally found this woman, and I think Uncle Chen should be suitable for her."

He Ji was anxious:

"My father told me repeatedly before he went out, telling me to find a satisfactory marriage for Uncle Chen while he was away. If this matter is not done, when my father comes back, my butt will bloom again!"

"Do you have confidence in the ten days and a half month that your father hasn't done in more than ten years?"

Chen Hang joked, and then changed the subject:

"Your father went to Qucheng, and he should be back in a month, right?"

He Ji nodded repeatedly.

"I left a small box for him, buried under the osmanthus tree in the courtyard. Remember to tell him to dig it out, and the small jade

pendant I gave you, are you still wearing it?" Chen Hang asked.

Hearing this, He Ji was a little puzzled, but still pulled out a fish-shaped small jade carving from his collar and hurriedly responded:

"Uncle Chen, it's right here."

"You are naturally weak in blood and energy, and your six pulses are all weak. This object was made by me personally. Although it is the first time I have made a device and it is not a good treasure, it also has some use for nourishing energy and spirit. It is better not to take it off."

Chen Hang's gaze stayed on the fish-shaped jade carving and said.

"Am I weak in blood and energy?"

He Ji was stunned when he heard this.

Ever since he remembered things, he felt that he was like a bear, even more powerful than the water buffalo in the village, and could drag a sled to plow the land with one hand.

How could this weakness of blood and energy be on him?

And before He Ji could understand, the small fishing boat had already rowed leisurely, water ripples spread out, pushing the small boat to float to the distance.

"Even if you don't get married, Uncle Chen, you don't have to be so urgent!"

Seeing that he couldn't catch up after just a moment of daze, He Ji was startled and hurriedly shouted at the top of his voice:

"Which section of the Feiyun River is Uncle Chen going to this time? I'll follow you later!"

"Cross the Fushui, go to the Youshui, and then go straight into the West Crossing Sea."

Chen Hang's voice came from afar.

"Uncle Chen, are you joking?"

He Ji grinned.

Not to mention that his uncle was a strange fisherman who never went to the great rivers to row.

In the seventeen years he had been fishing, he had never set foot in any of the five great rivers: Youshui, Lijian, Zhangshui, Ruanjiang, and Fushui.

Besides, how could this small fishing boat withstand the real waves of the river?

It wouldn't be miserably sunk to the bottom of the river if it were gently rolled, let alone crossing mountains and waters, straight into the West Crossing Sea.

But He Chang laughed halfway, and felt something was wrong, and his voice gradually lowered.

He looked up, and saw that Chen Hang's figure was slowly becoming invisible at this time.

A river breeze blew, and the reed bushes behind him sounded "rustling" again, and when the wind stopped, the place was unusually quiet.

It was as if only a stream of water remained in the world, endless...

And in another place.

After arriving at the Feiyun River and passing half a day, he finally drove the boat into a water area that had rarely been involved before.

Chen Hang saw a great wind inexplicably roll up in front of him, and then there was thick fog covering the sky, dark clouds covering the earth, as if the entire river surface was suddenly covered, isolating the inside and outside.

After a few breaths, a red light gradually penetrated the water surface at the bottom of the river, radiating strange colors, and at the same time, a rumbling sound was made under the water, as if something was rushing rapidly.

"Xun Gong, why be so polite?"

Chen Hang stopped the boat oar and said.

"Thanks to the True Person's guidance over the years, this old man has truly benefited a lot. Coming to see you off today is just what I should do!"

A buzzing sound came from the bottom of the river, and then the water surface suddenly split, and Xun Jian, who had rushed over in his hornless dragon form, rushed out.

This person seemed worried about being impolite, so he hurriedly revealed his human form, stood on the river surface, and performed the ceremony very respectfully.

Chen Hang was not surprised to see this. The hornless dragon was originally a member of the dragon species and had the great ability to raise clouds and rain, naturally close to the water element, and Xun Jian was a great demon in the Primordial Spirit realm.

Since this person was in the Liang Kingdom, it was only natural that he could have a sense of the water veins of the Liang Kingdom.

"May I ask if the True Person is really leaving Miaobao Land?"

Xun Jian's words just now were also suspicious, but seeing Chen Hang just smile slightly and not deny it, as if he really had the intention to leave.

Xun Jian was indeed somewhat puzzled and couldn't help but feel curious.

"I have already received the talisman letter from the sect, and the convening date of the Danyuan Assembly has been set, which is two and a half years later.

It doesn't matter if I tell you this. I think it won't be long before this news spreads to all the heavens, so that cultivators in the universe will hear about it."

Chen Hang opened his mouth calmly:

"And my cultivation has reached a bottleneck, just missing that last kick. Since this is the case, it is naturally time to prepare to set off."

Danyuan Assembly—

Hearing this name, Xun Jian felt his breathing suffocate, his scalp numb, and even his spirit was dazed for a moment.

Presided over and guarded by the governing ancestors of the Eight Sects and Six Schools who hold the maps and rule the universe, with a wave of their hands, they took out the prosperous luck of an entire Yang world great heaven as a reward, calling the high-ranking noble sons of various sects to personally go into battle, using all kinds of supernatural powers and methods, until the final winner was decided!

Deciding the contemporary Danyuan leader who will be famous throughout the Nine Provinces and Four Seas and whose name will be heard by all cultivators in the heavens!

Such a grand scene, just hearing about it was enough to make Xun Jian's heart flutter.

He truly couldn't imagine what kind of fierce scene it would be when outstanding figures of major sects like Chen Hang fought each other?

And how would the prosperous luck of a great heaven be held by people? After holding that luck, what mysterious changes would there be?

Miaobao Land could also be considered a fairly good land.

But compared with Xudu Great Heaven, it became grass on the roadside, not worth mentioning at all!

"This is the Immortal Dao, this is cultivation..."

Xun Jian muttered to himself in his heart.

"And in the sect talisman letter, besides informing me of the convening date of the Danyuan Assembly, one thing was also confirmed."

At this time, Chen Hang's voice suddenly sounded.

"Taichang Dragon Court, Ancestor Golden Edict."

He

looked at Xun Jian and said:

"Xun Gong should not be unfamiliar with this name, right?"

Hearing this, Xun Jian's brain seemed to boom, all his thoughts disappeared in an instant, and he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

The wind subsided and the sun melted, and the river surface was as calm as the earth.

At this time, there was a trace of embarrassment on Xun Jian's face. He seemed to want to say something, but Chen Hang waved his hand and said:

"Ancestor Golden Edict, this was a divine object specially created by the Taichang Dragon Court when they rebelled against heaven back then, used to contact the dragon species in the universe. As long as the Ancestor Golden Edict is sacrificed, the dragon species will naturally have a sense.

And the Taichang Dragon Court's desire to use this object to summon the dragon species of the world to go to Taichang has been exposed.

I was puzzled before why you, Xun Gong, would rather damage your foundation than improve your Dao practice as soon as possible.

Looking at it this way, you also want to go to Taichang Heaven?"

Xun Jian was silent for a moment, he sighed long, and said sincerely:

"Taichang is after all the ancestral court of our dragon species. Although this old man is weak and powerless, he also wants to contribute some strength to the ancestral court's cause."

He then pointed to the sky and swore:

"However, this old man definitely dares not have any offense against the True Person. Please let Heaven be the witness for these words!"

Chen Hang shook his head:

"Taichang's matter is far from as simple as you think. Dragon Court, Yiluo Palace, Dharma King Temple, and even..."

Chen Hang's voice stopped, just taking an object from his sleeve and throwing it away.

Xun Jian took it subconsciously, seeing that what he held was just a bottle of elixir.

The pill fragrance was strong, and when it was inhaled into the nose, there was even a faint tingling and itching sensation, and I don't know what kind of pill treasure it was.

"This pill can slightly eliminate the Dragon Essence poison on your body. Take this as a reward, and entrust you to take care of the He family in Zhuxi Village. Xun Gong, take care of yourself."

Chen Hang's voice came from afar, and he was already continuing down the river as he spoke.

Xun Jian held the pill bottle blankly, wanting to catch up, but stopped his steps abruptly.

Finally, he just stood on the river surface, bowed deeply to the small fishing boat, and did not raise his head for a long time...

And from the Feiyun River straight into the Fushui, then seven turns and eight turns into the Youshui, drifting along the Youshui, until finally arriving at the West Crossing Sea.

At this time, Chen Hang got up from the fishing boat, looked at the vast sky, and his eyes moved slightly.

After a month of time, he finally arrived in this sea.

And looking at it, it was a bright day, brilliant heaven and earth, ten thousand miles without a sail or ship, only seeing the blue sea and clear waves, boundless, from time to time white birds flew past between the high clouds, moving like electricity.

This vast heaven and earth scene made people feel open-minded and heroic.

Chen Hang had been rowing for seventeen years, and he was only used to the scenery on the river, and when he was in Xudu, he had seen the vastness of the East Sea and the

majesty of the North Sea!

But at this time, there was no scene that could compare with this one.

Rowing from the river and stream to here, he seemed to have become a stream in the creek, throwing himself into the river waves, rushing forward without stopping, crossing mountains and fields, until merging into this vast sea.

He stood silently in place, letting go of his spirit, just experiencing this wonderful change.

In a daze, he seemed to have forgotten where he was.

Just letting the sea waves roll him and the small boat under him lightly, arbitrarily west and east.

And I don't know how long it passed, when a group of sea birds stopped to rest on the boat shed.

Chen Hang's clothes suddenly moved without wind, shaking lightly.

After a few breaths, the wind became bigger and bigger, not only scaring away the sea birds on the shed, but also rolling up wild waves, carrying layers of giant waves like mountains, rumbling and slapping in all directions!

In an instant, the spray rushed into the sky, straight through the clouds, the sea tide surged like ten thousand drums sounding together, making heaven and earth lose color!

In a wave of wind and waves, Chen Hang opened his eyes unhurriedly and sang:

"Vast and vast sea, the sect of all waters, a hundred rivers flow differently, all returning to the great ocean.

And heaven and earth are infinite, saying life must die, saying beginning must end, ten thousand kinds of classes, cannot be judged by one."

He smiled:

"Returning the primordial energy to the wilderness, mixing heaven and earth into a great block, this is my Dao!"

After this sentence was issued, Chen Hang only felt a trace of spiritual light floating in his mind, with an uncontrollable joy.

His fontanelle shook, and a group of energy light rose to the cloud light, illuminating the sea and sky in the dark world, brilliant and brilliant!

Inner Scene ten percent, cultivation is achieved.

This is the Golden Core Third Layer realm, form in the spirit!
