Chapter 30: The Dadu River Monster (1)

Pu Zixuan has never experienced the feeling of going on a journey with a graceful woman who is so embarrassed to leave the moon. It turns out to be so wonderful.

Although he has never lacked women around him over the years, those are fleeting joys, and Pu Zixuan has never been obsessed with just because his beautiful body is far away from him. But with Chen Shuqing, he felt that the whole world suddenly brightened up. The mountains, rivers, earth, plants, fish and insects, everything he saw seemed to be full of meaning in an instant, and he couldn't wait to share everything with Chen Shuqing.

In order to be in the same carriage with her, Pu Zixuan did not drive his own carriage on the road, but hired the driver to go all the way. The two of them stayed in inns or stayed in the mountains and forests. If they were unwilling to enter the restaurant, they would cook some animal fruits nearby and cooked them and eat them. The sky loess is their home. Although the conditions along the way were simple, Pu Zixuan felt that it made him happier than the luxurious Happy Mansion.

Sometimes, even if the two separated for a short time due to trivial matters, Pu Zixuan would become anxious, fearing that she would disappear from his life by accident. Fortunately, the purifier and the monster could perceive each other's existence. In this way, Pu Zixuan would feel that Chen Shuqing was always by his side, and this feeling made him feel more at ease.

I remember Mr. He told students in class before: "Even if a person has a wealthy family, if he has no soul's home, he will have nothing." At that time, Pu Zixuan was still young and could not understand the meaning of this sentence. He only felt that money could buy everything he wanted, so how could he say "nothing"? Pu Zixuan once was quite disdainful of Mr. He's pretending to be deep words. Now, he understands at least half of his understanding, and he still insists that if there is not enough money, how can he support the huge expenses required for this journey?

Therefore, it seems more appropriate to define Pu Zixuan as a person who "has everything but has nothing".

The two of them walked and stopped for more than half a month, going from the high and cold Lijiang all the way to the northeast, from the warmth of the sudden and coldness to the spring flowers blooming.

The first stop of their journey was in Sichuan Province. In Sichuan, Chen Shuqing sensed the existence of a fragment of "Huanyue Jue", which was in Jiading Prefecture.

Speaking of which, the relationship between the purifying messenger and the monster is really interesting, as if two groups exist for opposition: first, the blood of the purifying messenger is red, while the purifying power is sky blue, while the monster is opposite, their blood is sky blue, but the demonic power is red; second, the purifying messenger is born to subdue monsters, and the purifying power can control the demonic power well. If the monster obtains objects with purifying power, especially the heart of the purifying messenger or the magic weapon like "Huanyue Jue", it can greatly enhance the demonic power, so it is never afraid of the trouble of purifying messenger; finally, the purifying messenger and the monster can sense each other's magic power, but the purifying messenger and the monster cannot sense each other.

The fragments of "Huanyue Jue" sensed by Chen Shuqing were on Fengzhou Island in Leshan County, Jiading Prefecture. After continuous practice, Pu Zixuan had a shallow Taoist practice, but he could gradually feel the existence of close-range demon power. When he arrived in Leshan County, he focused on the direction of Fengzhou Island, and found that there were a large amount of demon power in that area, and there were more than one.

It is self-evident what kind of risks will arise when landing on the island, but if you don’t enter the tiger’s den, you can’t get a tiger’s son. Before setting off, the two of them were mentally prepared for all possible opportunities.

After a whole day of traveling in Leshan City, the next day, the two boarded a ferry to Fengzhou Island.

The boatman had gray hair, but looked energetic. As soon as he sailed together, he sang the Sichuan horn in the unique tone of Sichuan people:

The golden rooster crows, the sky is white,

It's hard to bear the youngest son in your arms,

Whatever you care about food and clothing,

The world is now dark.

Climbing stones and feet on the sand,

Pull the boat for your son and daughter,

Face facing the loess and back facing the sky,

Barefoot and bare-armed heart is tired.

The song made Pu Zixuan feel relaxed and happy. He thought that he had been staying in Lijiang every day, especially in the happy mansion. He had not felt the joy of traveling for a long time, so he couldn't help but hum with the boatman.

Speaking of Jiading, especially Leshan, it is a famous tourist destination in the world. Not to mention anything else, the Leshan Giant Buddha dug in the Tang Dynasty is the best in the world. From the county town to Fengzhou Island, you have to cross the Dadu River. On the Lingyun Mountain on the east bank is the majestic Leshan Giant Buddha.

When the boat reached the foot of the Buddha in Leshan, the boatman deliberately stopped rowing and bowed devoutly to the Buddha three times before he set off again.

Pu Zixuan had previously thought that this was a boatman who believed in Buddhism, but the boatman told them: "I don't believe in the Buddha's master. Although Leshan is the hometown of the Buddha, the people here do not believe in the Buddhist tradition. However, the boatman here has a customary custom that can be used to cross the river, that is, the Buddha passing by the Great Buddha must bow to the Buddha statue three times."

Pu Zixuan asked the boatman in confusion why. The boatman was stunned and said, "Are you outsiders? Then I will tell you the legend of the Great Buddha. The water area under our feet is the place where the three rivers meet. The Qingyi River first merges into the Dadu River, and the Dadu River then merges into the Minjiang River. The place where the three rivers meet is not only extremely strong, but also legendary monsters are making waves under the water. Since ancient times, countless ships have been crashed here, and countless innocent people are buried in fish belly here...

Later, in the Tang Dynasty, a monk named Haitong passed by here and couldn't bear to see people suffering from this disaster, so he begged for alms and raised funds on his own and dug the Buddha statue on the wall of Lingyun Mountain. However, the project was too big. Master Haitong died after practicing the shoulder of the Buddha. Later, his disciple continued to build with the support of the government. It took ninety years before he completely cultivated the Buddha...

It's strange that after the completion of the Buddha, the number of ships crashed was significantly reduced. The government said that these craftsmen also built a complex drainage system at the feet of the Buddha, so that the water flow was no longer turbulent. But we ordinary people said that this was the cover for the government to appease the people's hearts. Whether there was a dark room at the feet of the Buddha, and it was really a drainage system, which was covered by the river. No one knew. People said that Master Haitong and his disciples actually had divine power. They built the Buddha here on the surface, but in fact, they were stranding here for a long time to subdue the water monsters.
