The sky was already dark and the wind was strong on the river. The old man's boat sailed smoothly.

Chen Youniao stood on the deck and asked: "Old man, aren't the rules on the water such that boats are not allowed to sail at night?"

The old man sighed: "No matter how many rules there are, you still have to make a living, right?"

Chen Youniao asked again: "Is the ferry business not doing well?"

"It was okay before, but since the big ships were opened to navigation, it has been difficult for small boats like ours to carry passengers. Not to mention that it is still early, even in the middle of the night, if someone is in a hurry to cross the river, I will go."

The old man said with a vicissitudes of life: "The older a person gets, the less afraid of death they are. What they are afraid of is not having any work to do."

Chen Youniao joked: "But after I got on the boat, I suddenly felt a little scared."

The old boatman hurriedly said: "Sir, please be at ease. I have been sailing for more than fifty years when I was fifteen years old. I have walked on this stretch of water countless times. I can even walk with my eyes closed."

Chen Youniao smiled and walked back to the cabin. Huamei was sitting there and smiled slightly when she saw him.

The two of them were sitting across from each other, very close to each other. Chen Youniao said, "Huamei, there are some things you should tell me."

Huamei looked calm: "If I didn't tell you, wouldn't you already know?"

Chen Youniao was speechless.

Huamei said again: "Brother, it's okay. In fact, I'm just temporarily unwell and feel uneasy."

In the past, when she was living in the world, her bloodline was sealed, so she naturally would not suffer the relevant suppression.

Chen Youniao nodded: "There is always a solution... That's right, let's go to the Dragon Girl Temple. Do you have any premonitions?"

Speaking of which, it is always a bit absurd for the Dragon Girl to go to the Dragon Girl Temple to worship.

Huamei replied: "My mind is unstable now, I am in a haze, I can't feel anything."

The various magical powers she displayed when she was in Yunmeng were severely suppressed after entering the Central Plains and could not be used. She thought she would recover now on the water, but it seems that it is not that simple.

Going to the temple to see it was Chen Youniao's whim. Of course he knew that Huamei was not the only dragon girl in the world. Therefore, there was someone else enshrined in the temple.

So I stopped talking and concentrated on meditating to see if I could capture some of the energy.

Suddenly, Chen Youniao got up and went out, looking at the old man: "Where are you going to take us?"

The old boatman replied: "Dragon Girl Temple."

"Really? As far as I know, the temple is not that far away."

The old boatman's eyes began to darken: "That one is just a secular temple. You will definitely not be interested in it."

Chen Youniao leaned forward slightly: "So?"

In an instant, the old man suddenly felt the danger of being pointed by the sword, and said hurriedly: "Sir, I have absolutely no ill intentions."

"I need an explanation."

"The lady inside is probably a dragon girl."

Chen Youniao straightened up and said, "Who are you?"

The old man smiled bitterly: "I'm just a ferryman who is about to die of old age. When ordinary people get on the boat, I take them across the river. But when the Dragon Girl gets on the boat, you have to go to the Dragon Girl Temple. Young Master, you are extraordinary and you should understand very well.

, Dragon Girl, she shouldn’t have entered the capital.”

Chen Youniao sneered: "If you shouldn't go to Beijing, should you go to the Dragon Girl Temple?"

The old man replied: "Whether you should or not, you will know when you go there. If the young master still insists on leaving, I will not stop you, and I will not be able to stop you."

Looking at the old tree bark-like face, Chen Youniao suddenly thought of the great demon Wu Xuan. He calmed down and said, "Then go and have a look."

The ship sailed forward for a while, and fog began to form on the river, which was a vast expanse of white. When we passed through the fog, our eyes suddenly opened up, completely different from the darkness outside, and an island appeared in our field of vision.

The island is small, with green mountains and forests, and it looks full of life.

Chen Youniao took a closer look and saw the clue: this was not a paradise in the cave, but a secret realm!

The world is so vast, and there are only a few places that can be called caves, heavens, and blessed places; and the number of secret realms is much greater. The place where the big demon cave was hidden last time, and where Huamei finally entered, is probably a secret realm.

Regarding the secret realm, Chen Youniao couldn't say he understood it, he had only heard about it. In layman's terms, it was a special space, either naturally formed by heaven and earth, or created by human power. If you want to have that kind of magical power, you must be at least a third-level person.

The Great Realm can only be obtained by "training the spirit to return to the void". The profound meaning of "virtual" encompasses the secret realm.

Compared with the real world, the secret realm is "virtual" and will not exist for a long time, and its own structure is not stable.

Different secret realms have different ways to enter. Without someone to guide them, ordinary people can't find them and cannot get in.

The old boatman moored the boat and said respectfully: "Please."

Chen Youniao was not afraid of his deception, because of the nature of the secret realm, it was difficult to get in, but there was no threshold for getting out.

The most important thing is that after coming in, Huamei's mental state became obviously happy. She was like a girl who had found a home. She became cheerful and no longer depressed and depressed.

"It's nice here, I like it."

Thrush said.

Chen Youniao said: "Let's go up and see the temple."

Looking back, I saw that the old man was still on the boat and had no intention of coming down.

The old boatman said: "Sir, I'm just a ferryman. I can't go up. I'll wait for you here."

"good!"

The winding path led to a quiet place, and the two of them climbed up the stairs. After walking for a short time, they came to a temple.

The temple is completely gray, and the building materials do not seem to be bricks or wood. If you look closely, you can see that it is made of thick fish bones.

Just looking at these bones, you can tell how huge the fish was when it was alive.

At the moment when Huamei arrived, the temple seemed to be conscious and suddenly changed. The originally dark color became brighter and gradually became smooth and smooth, showing a milky white color.

The temple shines with its own holiness.

At the same time, the entire island seemed to be cheering, not only with joy, but also with a sense of worship.

Although it was not immediately clear what was going on, Chen Youniao had a keen insight into the mystery:

This secret place, this temple, has been vacant for many years and belongs to the unclaimed land, until now, the arrival of Huamei.

The unexpectedness of this scene really shocked Chen Youniao. He suddenly realized that there are still various unknown mysteries in the world...

Huamei opened her hands and took a deep breath: "Brother, I want to stay here to recuperate."

Chen Youniao asked: "Has it been decided?"

"Um."

"Well."

Some decisions are not difficult, even if they mean parting. Huamei has grown up and is no longer an ignorant child. The road ahead is still long, and there are greater dangers. The temporary separation is just for mutual growth.

Putting aside personal emotional factors, looking back on the past, Huamei followed the great demon Wu Xuan and entered the depths of Yunmeng, which was the most rational choice for a dragon girl.

But Huamei finally chose to stay because Chen Youniao was here.

Now, she was faced with another choice, but it was much simpler. So the girl stepped into the temple, and Chen Youniao turned around and stepped on the waiting ship again.

The old man shouted: "Sir, sit still!"
