I didn't intend to be a Fairy

There are many large lakes in Yunzhou. There is a large lake not far outside Yundu City, called Yunchi, and it goes around the lake for nearly three hundred miles.

There are high mountains on the opposite side of the lake, and the cliffs are reflected in the lake.

There are many reed barmao on the lakeside. At this time, the flower spikes are blooming, and they are reflected in the lake.

The Taoist walked slowly along the lakeside, holding a bamboo stick and wearing a bamboo hat. Behind him was a bay-red horse. A little girl in three-color clothes was lying on the horse's back, squinting her eyes and taking a nap.

There was also a short and thin young man beside him, who also had no energy.

"Did you not sleep well last night?" The Taoist turned his head and looked at the guide with a smile, "Did you also catch mice?"

When she heard about catching a mouse, the girl on the horse straightened up, looked at him doubtfully, and then looked around. She didn't see any mice, so she yawned again and lay down lazily.

"I really didn't sleep well last night..."

The guide was not afraid that he would know that he had gone to get snake bones, sloughs and snake gallbladders. He had persuaded him to get them. He was just afraid that his repeated thoughts would be known to him and make him laugh, so he just said that. He changed the topic and turned to stare at Yunchi next to him and said, "Although I am in the city, I have heard of the water monster in Yunchi."

"oh?"

"I heard it is a very black fish, and some say it is a dragon. It likes to come out when the weather is good. Perhaps the shadow on the water can be seen most clearly at that time. If a boat passes by and it knows it, it will It can spit out water arrows to knock over the boat, but it won't be able to do anything about larger boats."

"Then today is a good day."

Song You looked up and looked at today's weather.

The blue sky and white clouds, together with the green mountains, pour into the clear water.

"There are many fishing villages next to Yunchi. They all point to Yunchi to make a living. The fishermen's boats are all small boats. In the past six months, it is said that many fishermen have been eaten by the monster. People only dare to fish. Cast a net and fish on the shore, but as time goes by, the water demon who is accustomed to the taste of human flesh will not be able to eat people, and misses it very much. Sometimes people on the shore will also suffer from its poisonous hands." The leader said on the side. As he walked, he told him what he knew, trying his best to be worthy of the twenty-five cents as a guide and the kindness he received from yesterday's guidance. "It made the price of fish in the city go up."

"You are quite well informed."

"Everyone is there at the gate of the city. We get together on weekdays and talk about anything. This is what the villain likes to hear most."

"Have you ever heard of a land of soaring dragons in the south of Yunzhou?"

"The Land of Soaring Dragons?"

Although the guide didn't understand why the Taoist suddenly changed the topic to this, he thought about it and answered honestly: "I have indeed heard that there is a mountain in the south of Yunzhou. Some people used to say that the world will end if we go there. , if you continue to walk, you will fall. I don’t know if it is true or not. Some people look for it, and there are mountains all over there. Some can be found, and some can’t be found. It is said that in that place, people can see dragons walking every year. Flying in the mountains.”

"How to get there?"

"I can't remember clearly. Anyway, there seems to be a red river in the south. I don't know what it looks like. They say that you can walk to that place by following the river."

"His message is indeed well informed."

"I know a lot," the guide said. "Even in Xianning County, Numa County, where you are going, there are many strange rumors. I have also heard of them."

"Oh? Tell me."

"It is said that this kind of situation has happened to Xian Ning several times in the past few hundred years." The guide paused and rubbed his eyes. He felt his head was a little numb, but he tried to think back, "It's probably like someone from out of town. People came to Xianning inexplicably, but they said that they were locals. Whether it was the local mountains or lakes, they were the same as in their memories, and the villages were also similar. It was just that in their place, the entire world was only a few dozen miles long from north to south, and only a few kilometers from east to west. If you can walk to the lake and the top of the mountain, it will never get dark and the sun will never move.”

"Um?"

Song You showed a smile.

Unexpectedly, chatting with him would yield unexpected results.

"I dare not tell lies to deceive you, sir, but I also listen to what others say." Seeing his interest, the guide immediately continued, "The local county magistrate took them to the village where they lived, and the village was also like them The memory is different. No one in the village knows them, and they don’t know anyone in the village. Everyone says that they were people who died hundreds of years ago. Why did they come back to life? There is something wrong with their brains, so of course no one knows them, and they don’t know modern people either.”

"That's right..."

Song You's smile became even brighter.

"Ahead is the Yangjia Village where the water monsters that Mr. Meng mentioned are most frequented. It seems that you can rent a boat in Yangjia Village."

"Thank you, Master. I think Master seems very sleepy. Why don't we just rest here and let's rent a boat and go fishing on the river." Song You said to him, "I'll come back to you later."

"Don't you need a villain to negotiate the price for renting a boat for sir?"

"No."

"You don't need a villain to row the boat for you, sir?"

"My children are good at rowing."

"Well……"

The guide found a tree, walked over, hugged his knees and sat down.

The sound of the bell slowly faded away.

The figures of the Taoist group were also reflected in the lake.

It wasn't until they entered the village that they lost sight of it.

The guide was still sitting where he was, his eyes were so dry that he could hardly open them. He leaned against the tree, but he still held on and kept staring in that direction——

This place is no better than the stone forest yesterday. The stone forest is on the mountain, covered by vegetation and forests, but the lake is flat. You can see far away. Even sitting here, you can see the scene in the lake. Maybe you can see the fairy high ground. How do people get rid of demons?

The guide rubbed his eyes again.

Not long after, he actually saw a small boat coming out of the lake from Yangjia Village. The girl on the boat was really good at rowing, and she rowed towards the center of the lake.

At this time, there was wind on the lakeside, and the water was ruffled, but the boat was still vaguely reflected.

Not far away, the boat stopped.

Wang Xiaoman looked from here, and the boat became a small dot on the vast lake. A figure could be vaguely seen swinging his arms on it, as if he had borrowed a fishing rod from the village to fish in the lake.

It seems to be the girl.

Immediately, the small boat floated on the lake, swaying with the waves in the sun. The Taoist could no longer see it. Instead, the girl was sitting on the bow of the boat, making movements similar to closing the pole from time to time.

Time passes little by little.

The leader's head was getting more and more dizzy, and his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and he could hardly open them.

Not only did I not sleep all night last night, I also ran dozens of miles. This morning I led the way for the gentleman. I was sleepy and tired. How could I hold on?

Especially when I start thinking about other things in my mind.

I suddenly thought about the python in the mountains last night that was so big that it could swallow a living person in one mouthful, and the snake bones and gallbladders that I had taken out and was about to sell. I didn’t know how much they could sell for. I thought for a while whether to sell it to a drug store or to someone who collects snake bones and sloughs, or whether to sell it as a curiosity and sell it to the nobles in the city. Then he thought, if he went back today and sold it for a large sum of money, would he come tomorrow to guide this man?

After thinking about it randomly, I relaxed and couldn't hold on anymore, so I just fell down under the tree and fell asleep.

While feeling groggy, I had a dream.

In the dream, he also learned some magic, which allowed him to slay demons. From now on, he no longer had to pick up the corpses of demons killed by Taoists, and he could live by subduing demons. Not only did he live a good life, the noble officials in the city also respected him a lot when they saw him, and his life was completely different from the past.

Who hasn’t had such a dream?

Until I heard a loud bang in the distance.

"Boom!"

Like thunder exploding on the water.

The guide opened his eyes as if frightened, sat up, and looked at the lake for the first time.

But they saw shocking water splashing on the lake, like a huge pillar. The water waves were slowly falling, and the small boat was still on the lake, shaking violently with the water waves.

The boat was empty.

After a while, a figure sat up on the boat. It was far away. It was vaguely identifiable as that person. He also took off his bamboo hat. It turned out that the person had been lying in the boat covered with a bamboo hat to sleep. Before that, he was sitting on the boat. The girl who was fishing was nowhere to be seen.

It's really too far away to see clearly.

After a while, the girl appeared on the boat again and rowed slowly towards the shore.

"..."

The person leading the way was stunned and walked over quickly.

Follow the boat until it reaches the ferry.

I saw the girl rowing the oar skillfully to bring the boat to the shore. She was so skilled at rowing at such a young age, and she probably grew up by the water. The Taoist was sitting in the boat, talking to the girl calmly.

"Don't you, Sanhua Empress, have a water-dividing knife? Why are you still getting wet?"

"Don't blame Sanhua Empress!"

"Is it because the water monster is too powerful?"

"Strange water! The water is so soft that it immediately got into Sanhua's fur!" the girl said seriously, "It's the same with a knife!"

"So that's it..."

The guide listened to their conversation blankly.

There is only one feeling in my heart——

These two people didn't seem to care about the water demon at all.

When the two of them parked the boat and landed on the shore, the girl was still holding her robe, and the inside became bulging and wet again. The guide took a second look this time and found that everything in it was actually full. They are lake fish of various sizes, they must have been caught just now.

The two of them got out of the boat again, and then headed back.

The guide scratched his head and led the way.

"Your Majesty, you can still come to guide us today and work for a mere twenty-five cents. I guess you didn't go get the snake demon's flesh and bones in exchange for money last night." The Taoist's voice sounded again, "But today, the water demon is also here. After being removed by my Sanhua Empress, the body may float up tonight and be washed to the shore by the waves, probably around here. I wonder if there is anything on the water demon that can be exchanged for money. This place is more beautiful than yesterday's Stone Forest and Liyundu. It's close. If you are interested, you can come to the lake to pick it up tonight. Don't wait until tomorrow, otherwise you will probably be discovered by the nearby villagers."

"Sir, he was joking. He promised that he would come and lead the way. Even if the villain exchanges the snake demon's flesh and bones for money, he still has to come when he comes."

The guide said groggily.

As for the water monster tonight...

Walking by the lake at night is more dangerous than in the mountains.
