Lanke Chess Edge

The four buns should have been made by Old Chen himself at home. The fillings are solid, but the vegetable buns are a bit salty.

After eating, Ji Yuan kneaded the dried lotus leaves into balls, threw them into the grass on the bank, and left them to nature to decompose, while the hemp ropes were left on the boat and returned to old man Chen next time.

He took a sip of his wine and looked at the emerald green fishing rod beside him. Today's situation seems to be not suitable for fishing.

Just a while after eating the steamed stuffed buns, several big fish swam across the bottom of the river. Although their dark backs were not as exaggerated as Jiaolong's, they were still bigger than the black-covered boat under him.

Ji Yuan looked to the south, so many aquarium spirits are rushing there, there must be a big accident somewhere in the Tongtian River, but the aquariums passing by are not in a hurry, it should not be an emergency What a bad thing.

Anyway, this matter should not hinder the mortals outside the Tongtian River, let alone the fate, the place where the aquarium spirits and monsters gather, no matter how strong the curiosity is, it is better not to delve into it.

Before I knew it, the weather became colder and colder.

On this day, Ji Yuan lifted up the fishing rod with some helplessness, and looked at the intact bait, but the fishing rod beside him was still empty.

"Hey... this fish can't be caught!"

How many days have passed, and there has been no fish. Presumably, the fishermen on the Tongtian River are having a hard time these days, but after all, it is not the fishing season, and it is estimated that there are not many fishermen out of the boat.

It's just that Ji really wants to drink fish soup, but recently he asked old man Chen to buy fresh fish, but he couldn't buy it.

Aquarium fairies swam by every once in a while, and Ji Yuan calculated it casually, and dozens of waves had passed by as long as he noticed.

There are not many monsters in the whole Dazhen, let alone not low-level ones, so Ji Yuan doubts whether there are many monsters from outside the country.

‘It’s not Chinese New Year yet, the Shui people don’t like this, right? '

Just as he was thinking so, there was the sound of horseshoes and wheels coming from the shore, Ji Yuan followed the sound and looked at the shore, and found that there was a caravan of horses and horses coming from the distance on the road.

As the carriages and horses approached, Ji Yuan waited and watched for a while, there was a stream of literature in several carriages, they should also be tributes who came to Beijing to rush for the exam, and their level would not be too low, and the family's money would not be small during this battle.

At this moment, snowflakes began to fall from the sky, which drew Ji Yuan's attention to the beauty falling from the sky.

Calculated, this is the first snow this year, and also the first snow that Ji Yuan has seen in his life.

Reaching out to catch one, the snowflakes were immediately melted by the temperature of the palm. He lifted the jug on the side and pulled out the cork.

As carriages and horses approached by the roadside, a scholar lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked towards the river. He saw the snow falling in the sky and the vastness of the river, and he also saw a fisherman in a hat on a lonely boat.

"After all, it is at the feet of the emperor, and Jing's kindness is even deeper!"

"Hehe...Brother Shi is in good spirits, I'm about to freeze to death!"

Another scholar next to him tightened the blanket he was wrapped in, and held a charcoal stove in his hand.

In the carriage and horse team, a big man in a plush cloak rode out of the team and approached the shore, shouting at Ji Yuan.

"Boater~~~~Do you know how far the Zhuangyuan Ferry is?"

Hearing the other party calling him, Ji Yuan put down the jug and faced them, also yelling to answer.

"Go south along the river, and you will be there in a dozen miles~~~"

The man sitting on the horse cupped his hands in the direction of the awning boat, and then led the horse back to the team.

Seeing the relaxed appearance of these team members, Ji Yuan couldn't help thinking about how his friend Master Yin would come.

The Yin family is not rich but not too poor either. There is still money to rent a carriage in the cold weather, and Ning'an County is rare in Wenqu, so the county will definitely help.

Ji Yuan watched the convoy leave, took a sip of Ji's snow wine, and felt that the wine tasted better under psychological influence.

At the same time, in the artistic conception of mountains and rivers, Ji Yuan also directed wisps of pill energy from the pill furnace to the chess pieces as usual, and he would do this every three days.

Now the most solid chess piece is still Lu Shanjun's sunspot, but Ji Yuan estimates that Lu Shanjun can only completely condense the sunspot if Lu Shanjun truly practiced and successfully transformed.

However, in the cultivation of monsters, transforming into a human is one of the biggest tests. It can't be accomplished overnight, even if there is a predestined relationship to "feed the pill" from time to time, it's not clear how long it will take.

Compared with Ji Yuan's lack of arrogance or impetuosity, the mentality of the two current managers in the Tongtian Jiangshui Mansion is not very good.

Jiang Shen Ying Ruoli sat in the palace, watching the aquariums start to decorate the main hall, and the aquariums brought corals from the sea to decorate, the seemingly indifferent Jiang God was very anxious.

After a while, Liu Guang, the shadow of a dragon, entered Jiangshen Mansion and transformed into a man in brocade clothes in front of the hall. It was his brother Yingfeng.

Seeing Yingfeng walking in, Ying Ruoli stood up quickly.

"How about it?"

Ying Feng shook his head.

"Still haven't found it..."

After saying this, Ying Feng walked closer, looked around, and whispered furtively:

"Your suggestion last time... Maybe you really need to think about it..."

After finishing speaking, the two brothers and sisters looked at each other with helpless faces. It is rare for the dignified Tongtian Jiang, Jiang Zhengshen, and dignified Longzi to be forced into such a situation.

It's just that the two brothers and sisters, who were still frowning a moment ago, were suddenly taken aback, and then looked to the north with joy on their faces.

. . .

On the bank of Tongtian River, on the carriage and horse team that just passed by Ji Yuan not long ago, a strong man in a cloak added charcoal to the young master's heater on the carriage, and then quickly mounted his horse to accompany him.

He just turned his head and looked behind him inadvertently, only to find a gorgeously dressed person standing beside a small boat on the river bank tens of feet away.

"Strange, was there this person over there just now?"

Hearing his doubts, his companion also turned his head to look.

"We just passed by, I didn't seem to see it just now..."

But the two didn't think too much about it, maybe they didn't notice someone coming from somewhere else.

On the other side, Ji Yuan was still drinking, but suddenly his heart shuddered, and when he put down the jug, he realized that there was already a person standing by the river.

Still the same pair of straight blouses, and the same appearance, it is the old Long Yinghong.

"Hehehehe...Mr. Ji's elegance is still so good. In a small boat with coir raincoat and bamboo hat, he drank alone while watching the snow on the river!"

Ji Yuan hurriedly stood up and bowed to the old man.

"It turned out to be Mr. Ying, don't blame Ji Yuan for not visiting Mr. Ying when he is at his door!"

Lao Long also bowed to Ji Yuan and laughed heartily.

"Hahahaha... Mister knew I wasn't at home, so naturally he wouldn't have paid a visit. I thought Mr. Ji would be absent this time, but you've already been waiting for me here. Mister, do you have any congratulatory gifts? "

Congratulations? What gift?

Ji Yuan was a little dazed, but before he asked embarrassingly, Lao Long said it himself with a smile.

"Just kidding, kidding, Mr. Ji made a special trip to celebrate the birthday of this monster of the water clan, it's a big face to the sky, let's go, let's go with the old man to Tongtianjiang Shui Mansion!"

birthday?

Ji Yuan's first reaction was that it's no wonder so many water spirits are passing through the border. It turned out to be the real dragon birthday banquet. It seems that there are very few water monsters passing through the border, and to participate in the real dragon birthday banquet, even if they pass through some places under the jurisdiction of the gods, 80% It will also be convenient and will not hinder you.

But... Should the old man invite himself to the birthday banquet?

‘Hey boy, isn’t this trying to lure me into a demon den! '

Imagine that scene, the picture is a bit too beautiful.

"Uh, Mr. Ying, why don't we have a drink together on this small boat. Ji congratulates you on your birthday in advance. Underwater... Is it inconvenient for me to go as a practitioner? Besides, this small boat with a black awning is also It's not good to stay here..."

Ying Hong has been looking for Ji Yuan for more than three years, and he is a little depressed after all, this will not give Ji Yuan any chance to make excuses.

"Hahaha... Mister is too worried. They are all wine lovers. Mister must go to taste the fine wine collected by Sifang Aquarium. As for this small boat, Mister don't have to worry!"

After saying that, the old dragon jumped into the small boat, and with a wave of his hand, the boat shook and sank directly to the surface of the water.

"Clatter..." Shui Tao said.

Ji Yuan almost couldn't sit still. When he realized it, the awning boat had already submerged and was heading south at the bottom of the river.

. . .

On the carriage and horse team ahead, the man still felt a little strange, so he turned back again after walking a long way.

It's just that when he turned around, he was stunned, rubbed his eyes quickly, and when he looked again, the water surface of the river where he originally asked for directions was still empty, and he couldn't see anything in other directions on the river surface.

'What about the boat? '
