The next day, a refreshed Lou Xiaoyi walked out of his room after the sun was high in the sky, followed by a somewhat tired Water Deity. She didn't expect that this guy was someone who didn't care about emotions and only pursued practicality. He wouldn't act unless he saw a rabbit, and wouldn't speak unless he saw benefits …
It didn't matter. Between a cultivator and a man, they would just treat it as Dual Cultivation. The key was to achieve their goal.
"Damn it, it's time to register! It'll be too late if you wait any longer! "Water Deity urged.
Lou Xiaoyi was very hesitant. "Didn't we agree that I would row the boat for five days and change it five times? This is only the first time … "
Water Deity was annoyed. "Record it down and return it when you come back! How can we still make it in time? I'm warning you, if you go back on your word and play tricks, don't blame me for looking for your family and ruining your reputation! "
The development of the situation was getting stranger and stranger. In fact, Water Deity wasn't completely forced. After all, she had been a widow for a long time and still had needs. She didn't dare to act recklessly in her family, but outside, she met a rather outstanding young man. Both were willing.
However, the most important thing now was to register her name first!
"What's your name? I still don't know it!" Water Deity realized that she had been very muddle-headed this night. She didn't have the calmness of a Foundation Establishment cultivator at all. She had already done that, but she didn't even know his name.
Lou Xiaoyi was very pleased with himself, but he still didn't reveal his true identity. It wasn't that he was ruthless, but it wasn't appropriate to lie. It would be troublesome if he told the truth.
"Is my name that important? What's important is the name of the Huang Family's participant! You can just randomly pick a name from the Huang Family. Why are you asking me? "
Water Deity was so angry that her teeth itched. He was still so irresponsible after eating his fill!
However, there was no other way. The situation was urgent. She had to get through this hurdle first!
Thus, she registered her name and used the Huang Family's sword talisman. Everything went smoothly.
All of this was seen by Huang Xiaoya, who was hiding on a mountain far away. She finally heaved a sigh of relief and secretly admired her aunt. How did she make this blockhead change his personality? She didn't know what price her aunt had paid!
After all, Huang Xiaoya was a girl who had yet to build her Taoist foundation. Her temperament was limited. She ran away happily, but after running away, she began to worry. She was worried that the boy would not listen to her, worried that something would happen to her aunt, worried about her family's reputation, and worried about her grandfather's punishment!
If Lou Xiaoyi didn't show up in the end, she would probably take the initiative to walk up and bear her own responsibility.
There were limits to rebellion!
But now, everything was resolved! Everything was calm and everything was going smoothly. She decided to find a place to have some fun and then quietly wait for the dragon boat race to begin.
The dragon boat was 120 feet long and 5 feet wide. It was custom-made and could not be changed. Only the dragon heads were of different shapes and colors.
Twenty Qi Refinement Warriors waited bare-chested. They sat on the left and right sides of the oars. The oars were thirty feet long and the widest part was close to a foot. When the oars moved, only strong men could move freely.
Among the twenty people, only eighteen people were controlling the oars. One person at the dragon head stood with his back to the oars. He was responsible for beating the drum and controlling the rhythm of the oars. At the stern of the boat, one person was steering the boat.
More than four hundred dragon boats were lined up in the middle of the river. It was a magnificent sight. It was very simple to keep the boats in line. In the middle of the river, there was an iron lock. The tail of each dragon boat was connected to the iron lock. When the gong sounded, everyone would move forward side by side and start the race.
Lou Xiaoyi sat in the boat. He didn't look different from the others. Although he was now more than three hundred years old, time did not leave any trace on his face. The silence of the stars also made it impossible to see any abnormality in his cultivation. The people in charge here were basically at the level of Foundation Establishment. The limited vision of a few Jin Dan was not enough to see the real situation of the top-level magic.
If Yuanying was here, she might be able to see it. Unfortunately, there was no one here.
How did he end up here with a group of Qi Refinement Warriors? Until now, he still couldn't figure it out … He was just here to join in the fun, but in the end, he became a participant. It was funny.
He didn't feel that there was anything to be embarrassed about. He was a young man, so what was wrong with that? Moreover, the thank-you gift was very tempting. Thinking of the four rewards later, it was worth it to work hard on the boat.
He liked this kind of adventure. It was natural and bizarre. He didn't have to worry about the beginning and the end. It was neat and tidy, and everyone was willing …
Of course, he would never use power beyond the Qi Refinement Warriors in such a competition, even if their dragon boat couldn't rank in the top ten! This was the principle of a cultivator at his level. He could participate, but he wouldn't change the result.
The Dragon Boat Race had been going on for a few days. After eating, drinking, and playing, the popularity began to accumulate slowly. The finale was about to begin!
On Lou Xiaoyi's boat, the most experienced people were the drummers on the dragon's head and the helmsman on the dragon's tail. It was not their first time participating in the race, so they had experience in boat racing. This was also the standard of almost all dragon boat teams. The paddlers were just using stupid strength. A good helmsman could lead them to the most reasonable path, while a drummer could mobilize everyone's emotions at the critical moment and maintain a reasonable rhythm of sprinting and accumulating power.
The time had come. With a gong, the tail hook of the dragon boat fell off. More than four hundred dragon boats were like arrows, shooting out in competition. This was also the most chaotic time. No matter how wide the river was, it couldn't avoid the collision between the blades of the dragon boats. In order to compete for position, no one gave in. This was the biggest attraction of the dragon boat starting point.
The children of the Swordsman family still had solid basic skills, and they valued explosive power very much. Therefore, they still had a lot of advantages in the starting point. They basically stayed in the top one hundred. As the distance between each other widened, it was the real beginning.
Three thousand miles was a competition of strength. Blindly attacking and exploding was not enough.
Lou Xiaoyi paddled unhurriedly, maintaining the same rhythm and frequency as the others. It was not so much a race as a view of the scenery.
The same scenery, overlooking from the sky and looking up from the boat, were two different experiences. Being in a group, paddling in the low and powerful drumming, watching the scenery on both sides of the river pass by quickly, and listening to the thunderous shouts of the audience, it was also a different artistic conception!
Momentum, power, speed, turbulence, whirlpools, and shoals. When all these were combined, a wonderful rhythm emerged in the mind, leaving a rich aftertaste.
Even the activities of Qi-trainers had their own true meaning. The existence of Tao was not limited to the realm.
Lou Xiaoyi was in this wonderful artistic conception. He seemed to be paddling mechanically, but in fact, he was immersed in his own perception. It was the harmony between heaven and earth, nature and human beings. One was moving and one was still, one was stretching and one was moving.
The speed of the dragon boat was about sixty miles per hour. It was not easy for Qi-trainers to go against the current. The delay was in some places where the water flow was complicated, but it was also the easiest place to overtake …
Lou Xiaoyi was actually slacking!
