Chapter 1580 - 1581: Luoshui Dragon Carp
Amidst the lush reeds, the white dew turns to frost; the one I seek is across the water...
Above the Luoshui, the simple folksong echoed between both banks, as Su Chengyu gazed at this largest tributary of the Yangtze River, speechless for a long while.
"Young man, do you wish to take a boat?"
At Luoshui Port, from time to time, someone would take the initiative to invite Su Chengyu aboard, but whenever he mentioned his destination, their expressions would subtly change before they retreated back into their own boats, ignoring Su Chengyu.
"No need, the place I am heading to is not somewhere you can go."
Perhaps it was because the singing originated from that very farmer’s boat, Su Chengyu kindly refused the offer.
No sooner had Su Chengyu spoken than the slightly plump boatwoman asked, "Is the young master perhaps intending to go to the Luo Shen Temple?"
The Luo Shen Temple, located near a small island at the center of Luoshui, is surrounded by turbulent waters that make it incredibly difficult to approach. More importantly, it’s known to be a private area that no one nearby dares to venture.
"The gods are three feet above our heads," and in Luoshui, Luo Shen is the supreme deity, a sacred place that no boatman or fisherman dares to approach lightly.
"Yes, I’ve asked around and it seems like no one is really willing to go."
The boatman sitting alone at the bow turned to glance over here and said coldly, "Is it that they’re not willing to go? They can’t go. An outsider like you wanting to visit the Luo Shen Temple, really ignorant of what’s good for you."
