Chapter 1836 Watch

It was precisely because of Lu Wenbin's curiosity about this place after making two wrong judgments that he invited Ba Hongwen to come up and talk to him.

Half an hour later, Ba Hongwen bid farewell and left.

Lu Wenbin got up and went to the window, looking at the river bank in the distance, the grass beach that looked ordinary.

Vaguely looking at it, it was filled with auras, and compared to five hundred years ago, it had been filled countless times. In a trance, Lu Wenbin even felt that it was not much better than the place where auras gathered at the back of the temple.

"Every time I see it, I feel this way. How could it be an illusion?"

Lu Wenbin asked silently in his heart.

His figure in front of the window gradually dimmed, and finally disappeared completely.

Then it appeared among the trees on the river bank, solidified.

He looked around with a look of disappointment on his face.

Yes, that feeling is gone again.

"Even if it's a mirage, it should have its own source, but there is still nothing. This is a strange thing in itself," Lu Wenbin murmured.

In the waist-deep grass, flies and insects danced from time to time, and in the black soil that was faintly exposed, earthworms crawled silently.

Lu Wenbin couldn't help but think of the corpse of a young man he saw here when he first came here for inspection countless years ago.

After so many years, even Lu Wenbin's impression of that corpse was a little fuzzy, but he vaguely remembered that when he saw it, the other person should have died not long ago, as if he had fallen asleep peacefully in the heavy rain.

Now five hundred years have passed, and that corpse has completely disappeared.

Maybe it was eaten by some wild beast, or maybe it was completely rotten and decomposed and entered reincarnation.

Putting these thoughts behind him, Lu Wenbin sighed in disappointment, disappeared in place, and returned to the ship.

After half a day, at the place where Lu Wenbin stayed just now, among the weeds, a piece of black soil suddenly bulged.

It seems that something is about to break out of the ground below.

...

...

After returning to the river bank, Ba Hongwen brought a piece of news to the long-awaited citizens of Evergreen City.

The immortals of the sanctuary have not stopped since they set off thousands of miles away, and this time it happened to be a repair.

The ship will berth here for seven days.

There is no doubt that these will be the most spectacular seven days in the hundreds of years that the city has been established.

Especially those who hope to be favored by the immortals and then enter the temple to practice, they linger on the river bank, never leaving, hoping to get close to the immortals, so as to get such a chance to ascend to the sky one step at a time.

Zhan Xiaoyu is one of them.

After seeing the big boat coming to Evergreen City with his grandfather Zhan Yongfu the night before, and seeing the immortal appearing with his own eyes, Zhan Xiaoyu said that he would also be an immortal and enter the holy hall.

Zhan Yongfu just regarded it as a casual remark of a young man, when he heard it, he just smiled and forgot it.

But Zhan Xiaoyu himself didn't think so.

On the first night when he saw the big boat and the immortal, he stayed on the river bank all night.

The next day, almost all the people in Evergreen City crowded to the Ningkang River, Zhan Xiaoyu also lost the favorable terrain occupied by the crowd and pushed him. He simply jumped into the river, relying on his excellent water quality, far away Watching Lord Ba Hongwen go and return in a small boat in the city, he brought an exciting news.

"I still have seven days..." Zhan Xiaoyu poked his head and neck out of the water, his body heaving and falling with the waves, thinking seriously.

The young man felt that the immortals in the temple were tired from the journey, since they came to Evergreen City, they should always come down to breathe and relax, and travel around in Evergreen City.

When the time comes, it will be your own opportunity.

He is recognized in Evergreen City as the person with the brightest eyes and the best water quality from big to small.

He felt that immortals would not fail to see his excellence, and if someone in Evergreen City would become an immortal, then his chances must be very high!

Zhan Xiaoyu just looked at the ship expectantly.

He stood in the water, lay in the water, and lay on his stomach in the water. Even if he found a convenient place to take over, he guaranteed that he would not take his eyes off the ship.

He was afraid that if he was not careful, he would miss the appearance of the immortal.

Of course not to mention eating.

But at this time, many people in the entire Evergreen City are actually similar to Zhan Xiaoyu. Whether they want to enter the holy hall or just to have a look at the immortal, they are all hungry and never leave.

On this day, Evergreen City can be said to be completely paralyzed for a whole day.

However, it was also a day of disappointment.

Because on this day, no immortals on that ship appeared in people's eyes.

Until nightfall, the lights on the ship were turned on, and under the light, faint figures swayed from time to time, accompanied by faint voices of conversation.

People who were already in trouble felt honored and refreshed because they heard some indistinct voices from some ships.

"No prospect," Zhan Xiaoyu shook his head angrily, looking at the people who hadn't seen the immortal for a day and were already a little silent, but became lively again.

In contrast, last night he saw the immortals of the temple flying in the sky with his own eyes.

Thinking proudly, Zhan Xiaoyu once again turned his attention to the boat in Hexin.

He stayed in the water for a whole day, but he didn't feel any discomfort, but he was still comfortable.

It can be said that he grew up in the Ningkang River since he was a child. This little difficulty is nothing to him at all.

The immortals who couldn't see the temple didn't leave a step.

Zhan Xiaoyu thought so, and planned to do so.

...

No matter how curious and admiring the church is, life must go on. Even if some people are reluctant to give up, they still return to their lives helplessly.

So the next day, the number of people on the river bank was much smaller.

Zhan Yongfu took out Zhan Xiaoyu who hadn't returned all day and night from the river, and angrily handed the boy some dry food and a bowl of fish soup.

"Do you really want to go to the temple to become an immortal?" Zhan Yongfu shook his head and said, looking at the wolf-hungry boy.

"Of course, Grandpa, I told you that night!" Zhan Xiaoyu swallowed the food in his mouth, took a sip of the fish soup and said.

Looking at the boy's determined face and eyes, Zhan Yongfu pondered for a moment, and said nothing more.

"Anyway, the city lord said that the immortals would only stay for seven days..." Zhan Yongfu murmured, and turned to go home.

"By the way, if you see an immortal, please call me if you have time!" Zhan Yongfu suddenly turned around and said something after walking two steps away.

"I got it, I got it," Zhan Xiaoyu waved without looking back.

"Zhan Xiaoyu, you really want to enter the church and become a fairy!" A boy a few years older than Zhan Xiaoyu laughed loudly.

The young man's name is Liao Ying. In Evergreen City, his family is one of the most wealthy and wealthy. The entire wharf industry on the Ningkang River belongs to his family.

Zhan Xiaoyu's grandfather, Zhan Yongfu, was working for Liao Ying's family to earn some money.

Unlike Zhan Xiaoyu who spent more than ten years living with his elders on the Ningkang River, because he saw the fairy in the temple that night and felt yearning for him. Liao Ying was given high hopes by her family as soon as she was born I hope that he can embark on the road of practice and become a high-ranking immortal.

After all, even Ba Hongwen, the lord of Evergreen City, was a guest of the Liao family and often came in and out of the mansion.

With the financial resources of the Liao family, coupled with the developed transport capacity near the Ningkang River, since Liao Ying was born, he has been buying natural materials and treasures from various places to transform Liao Ying's body.

It's just that the road to practice is so difficult, and a lot of resources have been spent. Four years ago, when Liao Ying was twelve years old, she managed to find the sense of aura, and she had half a foot on the road of practice.

But four years later, Liao Ying stuck at this step without making any progress, unable to successfully enter the first level of Qi training, no matter what, she couldn't move the other foot into it.

It is precisely because of this that Liao Ying deeply understands how difficult it is to cultivate an immortal.

There are tens of thousands of people in the entire Evergreen City, and there are only a few real monks, including the priest who was hired by the Liao family at a great price and who is also Liao Ying's master. After a lifetime of practice, he has reached the third level of Qi training.

As for Ba Hongwen, the city lord with the highest state in Evergreen City, he was directly appointed from Yue Kingdom, where Evergreen City is located, so strictly speaking, he cannot be regarded as a native of Evergreen City.

Liao Ying often heard her master lament that the aura of Evergreen City is too barren, whether it is to give birth to people with cultivation qualifications or practice here, it is extremely slim.

And Liao Ying has heard that if one wants to be qualified to enter the holy hall to practice, the minimum requirement is to enter the sixth level of Qi training before the age of sixteen.

Not to mention Evergreen City, even in the entire vast Yue Kingdom, the appearance of students entering the Holy Church is something that can shake the whole country.

There is no doubt that this is a gap like a natural moat.

The gap between the holy church and ordinary practitioners is actually much greater than the gap between practitioners and mortals.

In many cases, the more you know, the farther you will find yourself from the real height.

This is what it means to be ignorant.

The current Zhan Xiaoyu is such a person in Liao Ying's eyes.

The voice of Zhan Xiaoyu and Zhan Yongfu talking just now was not low, and the people around, including Liao Ying, basically heard it.

The people present may have had such thoughts more or less, but Zhan Xiaoyu was the first one who dared to say it out loud with confidence and confidence.

"Yes!" Zhan Xiaoyu turned around, nodded seriously to Liao Ying, and said.

A foolish look appeared on Liao Ying's face, and he and the few people he knew next to him nodded to each other, reaching a consensus.

The child was bewildered.

...

After the number of people on the river bank decreased, Zhan Xiaoyu no longer had to stay in the water, but his feet still subconsciously reached into the water and kicked the water surface.

The laughter behind came into his ears, Zhan Xiaoyu pursed his lips, and said nothing.

If you dare not even think about it, how can you realize it?

He adjusted his emotions silently, and then focused his attention on the boat in the heart of the river.

...

...

The next day, there was still no trace of the immortal on the ship, and the people of Evergreen City and Zhan Xiaoyu on the shore watched again in vain for a whole day.

So on the third day, the number of people who came to the banks of the Ningkang River decreased again.

The immortals of the temple still just stayed on the ship and never appeared.

After three days, the fairy did not appear from the beginning to the end, which greatly reduced people's enthusiasm. After calming down, people finally remembered that the church and they belonged to two completely different worlds, and they were not very attached to this matter. It's all about what to do and what to do.

By the fourth day, the number of people on the river bank was less than one-tenth of the first day.

Basically, they are energetic children who have nothing to do.

There are also some people who make a living on the river bank even if there is no such thing as a temple ship.

Zhan Xiaoyu still didn't take a step away from his position, nor did he leave the ship with a glance.

Even if they sleep at night, they curl up on the shore and doze off in a daze.

He was afraid of sleeping too much, in case he missed the appearance of the fairy.

After a few days, Zhan Xiaoyu's bright eyes were already bloodshot. Fortunately, he was by the river, and it was very convenient to wash and wash, which made him not look as embarrassed as a beggar sleeping in the open.

"Old Zhantou, you are also generous, and you still let this child guard here. The people of the Liao family have already checked with the city lord. The immortals are just staying here, but they should not appear." The enthusiastic aunt at the small tea stall said to Zhan Yongfu who had just delivered food to Zhan Xiaoyu.

"Children's nature, anyway, the immortals will leave in three days," Zhan Yongfu said.

"That's right, but your house is on the pier. How close is it? Even at home, you can see it. He insists on staying here. In fact, on the other hand, Xiaoyu is only a teenager. At the age of 10, I can still calm down and bear hardships." The aunt shook her head and said: "On this point, I think Xiaoyu will definitely achieve something in the future."

"You are too good at talking, you can boast flowers in everything," Zhan Yongfu waved his hands with a wry smile.

But in fact, the aunt's words did speak to Zhan Yongfu's heart.

This is also one of the reasons why Zhan Yongfu can be relieved that Zhan Xiaoyu is here.

The day passed quickly, the sun set and night fell.

It was another day without any harvest, and the fairy did not appear.

On the fifth day, it was still the same.

On the sixth day, the immortal did not appear, but the news about Zhan Xiaoyu had slowly spread.

Those who are far and near, those who know him or not, people all know that there is a young man who wanted to become an immortal, and wanted to enter the holy hall to practice. He stayed by the river bank for five days in vain, but in the end he didn't even see the shadow of an immortal. To a.

This made the number of people here on the sixth day a little more than the previous two days, but this time the main purpose of the people was not for the ship, but to see the bewildered boy.

Zhan Xiaoyu has some fame in Evergreen City because of his eyesight and water skills, which are the best in the whole city, but this time, with the help of the immortals in the temple, Zhan Xiaoyu's reputation greatly surpassed everything in the past.

Of course, the previous ones were all positive, but this time it's the complete opposite.

People take this matter as a joke.
