The waterway where Guan Luoyang and the others are located is one of the tributaries of the Yellow River, but the water quality is not as turbid as the main vein of the Yellow River.

Looking down from the boat, the water surface is green with rippling green waves. Those with better eyesight can see the aquatic plants in the shallow water through the waves.

The long-bearded man holding a steel gun rode his horse into the water. The man and the horse all sank into the water. Wherever the horse's hooves touched, a series of bubbles were stepped on the river bed, and the river bed was filled with turbidity. Large areas of water plants were stirred and broken.

.

This horse is carrying people on its back and running in the water. It is as majestic as when it is galloping on land.

The dragon hidden in the water is quite different from the antlers, bull heads, and crocodile mouths that ordinary people think of. Its mouth is like the beak of an eagle, pointed and slightly curved. When it is slightly opened, you can see the sharp beak.

It is filled with teeth as densely packed as nail plates.

The long-bearded man and his horse formed one body, fired a steel spear, and the head of the spear collided with the dragon's sharp beak.

There was a muffled loud noise in the water, and the water waves were like pillars, exploding into the air four to five feet high, and the dragon's head was lifted out of the water along with the waves.

The long-bearded man and his horse backed up on the river bed, rolling over together with the horse.

As he pulled the reins hard in his hand, the horse neighed and stood up again, unscathed, but the mud and sand around it rolled around and the turbid current filled the air, temporarily covering its figure.

However, this man was not alone. When the dragon's head came out of the water, his brothers and followers were already shouting and throwing the iron rope on the shallow waterside.

Those iron ropes were as thick as human arms, and the black iron luster was mixed with many red lines like small letters. The front ends of the iron ropes were cast into the shape of eagle claws.

As soon as it touched the dragon, the iron claws immediately contracted and clung tightly to the scales on the dragon's body, even faintly embedded in the flesh.

"Walk!!"

Thirteen or four tall men turned their horses around and ran all the way to the shore from the shallow water. The iron ropes were placed on their shoulders, wrapped around their waists, and tied around the horses' bellies.

As soon as they landed, the iron ropes behind them stretched straight, trying to pull the dragon to the shore.

The dragon let out a low roar and swung its head. More than a dozen horses were unable to withstand the force and were pulled violently, even falling backwards.

The people on horseback seemed to have been prepared. They swayed back and forth, stabilized their bodies, and fell out of the horse one after another. They took out five-foot-long iron rods from the bags behind them and inserted them into the holes in the middle of the tight iron ropes.

One insert.

The end of the iron rod pierced the ground, and immediately countless red seal characters on the rod lit up, as if flames were flowing through the characters, burning from the rod to the ground.

The land on the shore had been eroded by tides for a long time and was loose. After being covered by these scorching red lights, the surface of the land suddenly formed seal characters. The dark soil turned into gray-white rocks, and the gray-white rocks turned into silvery white.

The ground surrounding it for more than ten feet turned into something made of poured steel.

The iron rods in everyone's hands were connected with the mixed steel ground, tightly blocking the chains. No matter how hard the dragon roared and struggled, it was difficult to break free.

The rider at the back of the team slowly drove his horse forward. The man on the horse had thick eyebrows, eyes like copper bells, a short beard that was slightly curly, as rough as iron wire, and held a broad sword in his hand.

He drew his sword on his horse and muttered something.

"Mix the river dragon, mix the river dragon, comb the river and remove the sand, stir up the turbidity and clear the air; mix the river dragon, mix the river dragon, make the rules, all water species will listen!"

The boat was sailing in the middle of the river, and the place where everyone was fighting the dragon was at least thirty to forty feet away from the boat.

The miners on the boat were a little panicked at first, but the big waves caused by the dragon calmed down inexplicably when they got close. The boat was as steady as a mountain. The people on the boat soon marveled at this novel scene and rushed to see the brave man fighting the dragon.

Guan Luoyang heard the spell and said with a smile: "What kind of spell is this? It's really easy to understand and simple."

Lin Lingsu threw the empty bamboo tube behind him, threw it back into the cabin, and said: "This is also a kind of left-handed magic. Hunjianglong does not refer to a dragon, but to a tool that cleans the river. It looks like

With a big iron rake, if there is a river that is congested and silted up, use a boat to drag the river dragon over it to loosen the sediment so that the silt, sand and gravel can be carried away by the flowing water."

"His magic probably borrowed from the image of Hunjiang Dragon in the minds of the people to regulate the river and guide the turbid currents, forming a kind of discipline and taming power."

Guan Luoyang suddenly said: "It turns out they want to take this big turtle for their own use."

When Gongsun Sheng heard the noise outside, he also walked out of the cabin, handed a new bamboo tube to Lin Lingsu, and looked towards the shore.

"Huh?" He saw that he was an acquaintance on the shore, "That seems to be Li Jun and Li Dutong."

On the shore, after Li Jun recited the incantation several times, he swung his long sword, and a mixture of golden and red smoke flew out from the sword. After it reached the top of the dragon's head, it suddenly spread out like a fan.

As the sword pressed down, the fan-shaped smoke cloud also pressed hard on the dragon's head, seeming to push the dragon back into the water, but the iron locks and iron rods on the land firmly held the dragon back.

The dragon's body swayed, dashing left and right, pulling the iron ropes with a rattling noise, and the entire concrete-steel ground trembled slightly.

A dozen men holding down the iron rods with their palms and fixing the iron ropes were also sweating profusely. They poured their magic power into the iron rods continuously and did not dare to relax in the slightest.

The dragon couldn't break free from the iron claws and iron ropes, nor could it break free from the oppression of the fan-shaped smoke cloud. When it tried to rush to the shore like crazy, its tail was suppressed by something in the water, and it couldn't rush forward.

The roar from the river shook the sky, and the sound waves exploded into huge waves.

But when the dragon's roar reached the middle of the river, the miners only felt it was a bit noisy and did not feel the power of the dragon's roar at all.

No matter on the shore or on the boat, only a few people can see that there are strands of green air lingering on every boat. It is as thin as snow and fog under the scorching sun, but it is extremely pure and never dies or disperses.

It didn't take long for the dragon's roar to become obviously low. The dragon seemed to have lost its strength and gave up its resistance. It was pressed down on the river by the fan-shaped smoke cloud.

Its sharp beak was wide enough to swallow a whole horse, and it floated in the water, its eyes dim and lifeless.

"The scent left by this beast in the wind and water is so strong, how come his physical strength is worn away so quickly?"

Li Jun danced his sword, and the fan-shaped smoke condensed back and attached to his sword again. He was puzzled and called to the water, "Brother Li Ying, are you okay? Could it be that you severely injured this person in the water?"

Beast?"

Wow!!!

When the waves turned, Li Ying rushed to the shore, thrust the three-pointed steel spear into the shore, squeezed out a handful of water while holding his beard, and said with a smile: "Li Jun, let's hurry up and hurry up. We're late.

This dragon-tailed beast has already been surrendered by the Taoist Priest."

Li Jun was stunned, glanced at the boat, and asked in confusion: "Why do you say that?"

Li Ying shook his head: "You'll know it once you get into the water."

Li Jun waved his sword and a small channel opened in the water. He walked down the river bed and looked up.

I saw the long body of the dragon extending all the way from the bank to the middle of the river, where its tail connected to the huge turtle shell.

It turned out that this was an old turtle transformed into a dragon, but the transformation was not complete and could not completely get out of the turtle shell.

For such a monster, the body of a dragon is not its strongest point, but the turtle shell is even more magical.

During the fight just now, if the dragon's tail flicked and the turtle shell hit the shore, the piece of concrete ground would definitely be smashed into pieces.

Li Jun was secretly awestruck in his heart, but when he got closer, he discovered that the dragon and the turtle shell were not scary at all. What was scary was the power suppressing the turtle shell.

Looking up from here, you can see the bottoms of several boats floating in the middle of the river. One of the boats is emitting magnificent and pure light green vitality to the water. It does not look like mountains or dew, but it is heavy.

The dragon cannot escape even half an inch.

There is an extremely long ravine on the river bed behind the turtle shell. It is feared that when the dragon encountered the fleet several miles away, it had been suppressed by the people on the boat across the river and dragged all the way here.

"hiss!"

Li Jun's heart was up and down, his spells were slightly confused, he almost choked on a mouthful of water, and quickly retreated to the shore.

Li Yingzheng ordered everyone to pull up the iron rods, removed the spell, and allowed the steel-containing land on the shore to return to the appearance of soil. He turned around and said, "How?"

Li Jun silently returned the sword to its sheath, sighed, and laughed loudly: "This Taoist is really narrow-minded. If you had warned us earlier, why would we make a fool of ourselves here? Why do we have the nerve to go to his boat to enjoy some water and wine?

"

Guan Luoyang's voice came from afar: "Don't be surprised, everyone. You entered the water too quickly. I didn't have time to say anything. Later, I saw that your arrangements were quite exquisite. I was fascinated by them. I am willing to apologize with fine wine. Please come and get together."

"

Li Ying and Li Jun looked at each other, each nodded, and asked the others to follow with their horses on the shore. The two sighed slightly, jumped up from the shore, and jumped onto Guan Luoyang's boat.

Gongsun Sheng said: "It turns out it's you two, but do you still remember Pindao?"

Li Ying said in surprise: "Taoist Master Yiqing, we haven't seen each other for many years after conquering Xixia. Weren't you summoned back to Bianliang to enjoy your blessings? Why are you here?"

Li Junze's expression tightened, and he secretly pressed his left thumb to pop out the sword at any time. He glanced at Guan Luoyang and asked, "Is this Taoist priest also a Taoist official from Bianliang?"

Gongsun Sheng saw some signs and quickly waved his hand, saying that he was already a wanderer, and introduced Guan Luoyang and the others to each other.

"Didn't General Li Ying say that he was going to retire and return to his hometown? You are the head of a village and have a wealthy family. You must be living a comfortable life every day now, right?"

Gongsun Sheng tentatively said, "There is also Li Jun, commander of the capital. Pindao heard that you served as commander of the navy and army under Marshal Han Shizhong, fought against the Liao army on the border river between Song and Liao, and were so majestic on all sides, how did you get here?

?”

The faces of the two people named Li were a little subtle. Guan Luoyang smiled and said: "Let's sit down in the cabin first and then talk."

Everyone returned to the cabin and took their seats.

Dai Zong was sleeping in a corner of the cabin. When he heard the sound, he looked up and found out that he was also familiar with Li Ying and Li Jun.

Gongsun Sheng was very polite when talking to Er Li, but when the three met him, they quickly became brothers.

Guan Luoyang chatted with Gongsun Sheng nearby, and then he realized that it was the handiwork of Emperor Tianming again.

When the emperor was preparing to fight for Xixia, he mobilized famous generals from various places, and all those who had no ambitions were recruited. Some were even invited directly from the people, and he gathered thirty or forty people who were familiar to Guan Luoyang. It seemed that they should all be on Liangshan Mountain.

A heroic man showing his face.

They also specially arranged for Song Jiang and Lu Junyi to command their troops.

But it was a battle to destroy the country. The battlefield was so majestic and cruel. Lu Junyi had the advantage of being highly skilled in martial arts, but he did not know the art of war. Apart from his reputation for loyalty, Song Jiang had no other merits at all. He allowed them to command many famous generals and mobilize troops.

Ma, instead, caused chaos. Guan Sheng, Hu Yanzhuo and others were extremely dissatisfied.
