Songhua River is a taboo word for the townspeople nowadays.
The Zhoujiawu ferry was about to reach Taiping Town when it was suddenly attacked by a strange monster.
According to eyewitnesses at the dock at the time, a strange creature moved very fast and jumped into the cabin from the hull. It pounced on people and bit them. The monster had great accuracy and bit the carotid artery with one bite, tearing the throat apart.
The villagers on the boat could only wait to die from excessive bleeding.
Some who were unwilling to be killed jumped into the river to try their luck.
Without exception, none of them were able to climb out.
"The Zhoujiawu ferry sank into the river, along with the villagers who died on board."
The old clerk in the tailor shop then vividly described how the masters of Fanjiabao went into the water to salvage the boat and how they all died in the water.
"Young Master, you didn't see that half of the water was completely dyed red with blood."
Someone else echoed, "That's right, the Fan Family Fort lost a group of experts there. I heard they were top-tier experts, right?"
The Fan family's celestial masters are divided into two levels, heaven and earth, according to their abilities, and each level is further divided into three levels: A, B, and C.
In terms of seniority, the A-level can be considered as middle and senior management.
A small Zhoujiawu is actually worthy of the Fan family sending out a Class A expert?
There must be a reason for this.
Chu Mu suppressed his doubts and refused to listen to any advice, insisting on walking towards the Songhua River.
When they arrived at the dock, the townspeople stopped surrounding Chu Mu.
They were truly afraid of the Songhua River and wished they could stay as far away from it as possible.
This made it convenient for Chu Mu to ask Fan Ji, "Ah Ji, is there anything particularly valuable on the ferry boat at Zhoujiawu?"
"The ancestors of Zhoujiawu once guarded the tomb of the Five Dao Kings. The Wuji has the treasures left by the Five Dao Kings in their hands. They came here to seek refuge with the Five Dao Kings, intending to use the treasures as bargaining chips."
Chu Mu really wanted to ask, what is the Five Dao King.
However, seeing Fan Ji's look of certainty that he knew him, he guessed that the Five Dao Kings were probably like white rice, known to everyone.
If Chu Mu really asked, whether Fan Ji would become suspicious is another matter. However, those people in the temple would definitely notice something was wrong first.
Chu Mu swallowed the question on his lips and sighed ambiguously: "I see."
The Zhoujiawu shipwreck was some distance away from the shore, and no one dared to take them there.
Fortunately, there were some old bamboo rafts and wooden boats moored by the river. Fan Ji took one and helped Chu Mu onto it.
The people watching from afar couldn't help but whisper to each other:
"That young master surnamed Chu, he even needs help getting on the boat, and he wants to salvage the sunken ship?"
"The men under his command are indeed quite powerful, but compared to the masters of the Fan family, they are definitely no match."
"All the masters of Dijia were killed in the river. Now there are only two of them. Aren't they just delivering food to Gui?"
The mocking words rolled out one after another, but they had no effect on Chu Mu on the bamboo raft.
Fan Ji rowed the boat and arrived at the location of the Zhoujiawu shipwreck in a few blinks of an eye.
"Stop." As soon as Chu Mu said that, Fan Ji put away the oars without hesitation.
The water waves slowly spread out under the bamboo raft, spreading out in circles.
The small bamboo raft was pushed by the current and began to rotate counterclockwise.
A thick black color similar to ink quickly emerged from the bottom of the water vortex.
Plur, plur.
Chu Mu stared at the water surface and suddenly shouted, "Jump."
Without saying a word, Fan Ji jumped into the ominous-looking black vortex.
Chu Mu followed closely behind, and the moment he sank into the water, he reached out and embraced Fan Ji, who was being pulled deeper into the black whirlpool.
A faint golden light lit up beside the two of them, giving them a golden edge.
The black river water no longer dared to rush towards them, and all fled back to the bottom of the river.
Chu Mu flicked his fingers, and the golden edge expanded outward, turning into a three-dimensional outline, enveloping Chu Mu and Fan Ji in a vacuum space.
"Okay," Chu Mu let go, "You can talk and walk now."
The independent space formed by the golden light did not affect his movements at all. Fan Ji imitated him and took two steps, just as if he was walking on flat ground.
The young man's eyes were bright and filled with wonderful emotions.
Chu Mu suddenly remembered that Fan Ji was only fifteen years old at that time.
No matter how mature he behaves on a daily basis, a boy is still a boy after all.
Chu Mumei's expression softened. "This is called the Way of Avoidance. Do you want to learn it?"
Fan Ji nodded vigorously: "I do!"
"If you want to learn this, you must quickly learn the method passed down on the copper plate."
The Way of Avoidance also belongs to the Taoist magic in the temple, and its level is more than one level higher than the spell on the copper plate.
Fan Ji, in his mortal body, cultivates the way of the true god, and he must proceed step by step.
"Okay, I will definitely learn it as soon as possible."
As they talked and answered, the two of them unknowingly arrived at the bottom of the whirlpool.
The Songhua River is unfathomable. Just in this section of water, Chu Mu stepped into the water and looked down into the depths, but still felt that there was no bottom in sight.
The Zhoujiawu ferry did not sink to the bottom of the water. It remained still in the water in a state that violated the laws of nature.
Chu Mu turned around and warned: "Be careful, there must be something fishy inside the boat."
After saying that, he wanted to be the first to board the ship.
“Master…”
Fan Ji grabbed Chu Mu's arm again. Chu Mu looked down and found that the boy's palm was almost as big as his own.
"Let me go alone," Fan Ji said with a firm look, "I can do it."
