It's getting dark.

Like flowing gold.

Qi Wuhuo looked at the golden color between the sky and the earth and felt at peace. He had never seen such a sunset before. But the strange thing was that although the sun was setting here, it was brilliant and magnificent, but the sun could not be seen. The girl stretched and stood up. There was no trace of water on her stockings. Facing the wide and magnificent river, she exhaled deeply.

"Every time at this time, I always feel that the scenery is peerless. There is no more beautiful scenery in the world than this."

She turned around and smiled. Under the setting sun, her facial features were so beautiful and extraordinary that she seemed extraordinary.

Then he stretched out his hand: "Come on, have you learned how to tread water?"

"Let me show you something."

Qi Wuhuo was pulled up by her. When he stood up, he didn't know why, the water in the river actually slid down from his feet, without sticking or staying. The girl stepped on the water of Jiukan, with her black hair hanging down and the sunset on her body. The water surface under her feet seemed as if she was stepping on the sunset clouds.

Qi Wuhuo knew the method of treading water, which was a method that ordinary cultivators could use.

But the water flow seemed unusual. He tried it, but couldn't make it work as he wished. He took a step forward and stepped into the water.

At least one must have the innate qi to be able to stand on the water.

I could only say with regret: "My cultivation is too low, I can't do it yet."

"Low cultivation?"

"This is nothing. There are not many people my age who come here. You must go and see it!"

The girl grabbed the blue-shirted boy's hand and pulled hard. Qi Wuhuo was pulled forward. When he was about to fall into the water, it seemed that a stream of vital energy flowed, allowing him to stand firmly on this branch of the Nine Kans. He did not fall down, but had a mysterious feeling.

"Dad and Uncle Niu will definitely come and call us to eat later."

“So hurry up.”

"I'll take you with me, it'll be faster!"

She thought for a moment, then took the hand of the blue-shirted boy and ran outside. There was a breeze and clouds flowing around them. Qi Wuhuo was pulled forward, following the flow of water from Jiukan at an extremely fast speed. Finally, she ran to the place where it entered the river in one breath. She could vaguely see the surging water. It seemed that because the water from Jiukan entered the river, the water flowed surging, water vapor rose, and dyed the light of the setting sun, as brilliant and clear as the sunset glow in the sky.

"Qi Wuhuo, pay attention - jump!"

The girl who claimed to be Yunqin shouted and jumped up, pulling Qi Wuhuo with her.

Jump down from the place where Jiukan enters the river.

It was obviously just a not-so-wide river branch, but the girl showed great courage.

Then he stood steadily on the river. Qi Wuhuo took a few steps forward, stood firm, and raised his head.

The river surface, which had been turbulent before, had become extremely peaceful at this moment, as clear and tidy as a mirror, filled with water vapor and reflecting the golden and clear light. The girl spread her arms, took a deep breath, turned around, and said in a very proud tone: "Look, it's amazing!"

“This is my favorite scenery!”

Qi Wuhuo nodded slowly.

Looking around, it is extremely vast and magnificent, with golden light shining.

At this moment, there seemed to be no distinction between the sky and the river beneath one's feet.

I can feel the moon rising and setting, but I can't see the sun.

There is a big sun in the sky and a long river under your feet. With every step, ripples rise and fall behind you.

For some reason, the feeling of openness in my heart was three times stronger than when I first saw this river. I couldn't see the sun, but I could feel the majestic and righteous meaning around me. The sun was rotating, as if it was everywhere. Even my soul seemed to be more lively. Yun Qin smiled and pointed at the sword box behind him: "But speaking of it, what are you carrying?"

"Sword box, you can put some sundries in it."

"Sword box? Can you dance with a sword?"

The girl's eyes lit up.

Qi Wuhuo thought about it and said, "Yes."

He could see that the girl in front of him had lived on this island for a long time and seemed to have very few guests. It was rare for her to meet someone of his age, so she seemed so happy and excited. Qi Wuhuo smiled and took out the sword that had accompanied him in his wanderings from the sword box.

He held the long sword horizontally in front of him, tapped it with his fingers, and the sword rang loudly. Qi Wuhuo said:

"I'll try, but it might not be that good."

…

When the old ox came over slowly, it saw from afar a young man in a blue shirt dancing with a sword on the bright golden water surface. The girl next to him was watching with great interest. The old ox saw at a glance that the sword had just started to dance, and the sword technique was flowing, with two-thirds of the dance still left, so it stopped.

Just seeing the water vapor on the river rotating with the young man's magical movements, I sighed in my heart:

"Swordsmanship is OK."

"I just don't know what the clouds and mist will look like when everyone sees them today."

It was a taboo to rashly enter the river, but he did not call out to the young man.

Many people come here.

But no one would greet him and call him Brother Niu.

Therefore, I am happy and willing to wait.

The reason why he came in person was because of other reasons. Looking at the blue-shirted young man dancing with a sword on the long river from afar, he felt a little surprised - he was always willing to give people in the world a chance, so there were quite a few registered people, but there were very few who would be taken to other places.

But his cultivation is so low.

Why did that person look at me so differently?

When it was getting dark and the sword dance was complete, Qi Wuhuo put away his sword.

The girl waved and shouted, "Uncle Niu, are you here to pick us up?"

"Come here for a moment, I don't want to walk back."

“It’s so tiring walking on this river!”

The yellow ox finally couldn't help but speak, in a deep and simple tone: "You, you just know how to be lazy."

"You can't act like a spoiled child anymore."

"You went out by yourself, and brought guests with you. I didn't tell your father. I was already helping you, but you still wanted me to carry you back."

“No way!”

"Uncle Niu!"

The old ox pretended to ignore it, but in the end he couldn't help but look at the girl and sighed:

"This is the last time, you know?"

"Uncle Niu is the best!"

The ox stepped into the long river and immediately turned into a big man who seemed to be in his 50s or 60s. He picked up the two children, one in each hand, and walked over the river, running like a tiger with a great momentum. After reaching the river bank, he put the two children down and said, "There are often big storms on this river. Fortunately, you didn't go too far away."

"Little brother, how is the scenery here?"

Qi Wuhuo said: "It's great. I have never seen such a beautiful scenery."

The scalper laughed a few times, and then said, "Okay, it's time to eat, it's time to eat."

"It's because of that person that we prepared it today. We didn't have it in the past."

He seemed to be like the mountain god. He preferred his original appearance to his human form, so he transformed into a big yellow cow.

The young man is on the left, wearing a blue shirt and carrying a sword case on his back. The girl is standing on the right, with her hands behind her back, looking happy.

They returned all the way back to the house. The house looked no different from an ordinary home, like a place where good deeds were done and there was surplus. After washing up, the yellow scalper turned into a big man and led Qi Wuhuo and the girl in. After entering, there were a few men and women who were helping the family. When they pushed open the door, Qi Wuhuo looked up and saw the old Taoist sitting at the very top, with a couplet behind him.

There was no food on the table yet.

Even the man just stood by, seeming to feel a little emotional and a little bit unbelieving.

There was only an old man sitting in the room, looking at Qi Wuhuo with a smile.

I'm at the top.

And you get started.

The girl popped her head out from behind the boy and asked in confusion, "Aren't you going to eat?"

The big man transformed from a yellow ox smiled and pulled her away, so that only the young man in blue shirt was left standing at the door, while the old man sat at the head, holding a cup of tea in his hand, and said with a smile: "Wuhuo is here."

Qi Wuhuo bowed, with the sword case on his back, standing straight.

"yes."

The old man looked at him, stroked his beard and sighed for a long time, and said: "My Taoist lineage emphasizes fate."

"The teacher chooses the disciple."

"Disciples also have to choose their teachers."

"It's not forced, actually."

The old man smiled helplessly:

"But, I have told you many times, [Remember your name], [Remember your name], but you still don't understand?"

"I have been traveling the world for so many years, but I never thought that I would have to speak up for this matter myself."

"Should I say you are upright and honest, or are you just being stubborn?"

"Oh...never mind, I'll just come."

The old man seemed quite emotional, and then put down the tea in his hand.

He raised his hand to straighten his clothes and stroke his sleeves.

The river outside was calm and had turned black, with sparkling waves like thousands of stars, and when the wind blew, the ripples spread out, but everyone here was silent, and only the old man spoke.

He restrained his expression, looked serious, and asked gently:

"How is it, no doubt."

"Would you like to take me as your master?"
