As soon as the sword came out, everyone stared blankly at the scene...
People like them, who make a living by fishing all day long, have never seen such mysterious things. Now that they saw it with their own eyes, the shock in their hearts was indescribable.
After a while, the old man came back to his senses first. His face was full of surprise and he said excitedly: "The Taoist Master is really a god. I hope the Taoist Master will take pity on us people and help us get rid of this scourge!"
After saying that, he knelt down with a 'plop'. The people behind him also reacted and knelt down on the ground after the old man.
"You don't have to be like this. It's my job to slay demons. Now that I'm here, I won't stand idly by. Everyone, please get up quickly." After Li Xuan finished speaking, he raised his hand and flicked out a soft force.
After everyone listened, they saw the Taoist priest in front of them wave his hand gently, and a soft energy came over them. Before they understood what was going on, they were lifted up one after another. While they were grateful, most of their hearts dropped.
I think, with this magic, it is possible to subdue demons.
Immediately, everyone burst into applause.
Seeing the joy on everyone's faces, Li Xuan said calmly: "Don't thank me yet. I haven't known the nature of water since I was a child. This person who kills monsters and eliminates harm has to choose one of you who has good water nature. Take me."
The sword must be put into the water to succeed!”
After Li Xuan finished speaking, he looked embarrassed, but he was secretly happy in his heart.
It is not impossible to say that this cultivator is afraid of water, but it is a bit unrealistic for a person like him to be afraid of water. Not to mention that this is still his kingdom of God, even in places such as the Yellow Spring and the Sea of ​​Bitterness, as long as
He can go back and forth without any hindrance if he wants. Of course, the reason why he said these words must have his own intention.
After Li Xuan finished speaking, there was a commotion in the crowd. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't say a word.
After a while, the old man who just spoke coughed slightly and said, "Taoist Master, you don't know! We were all frightened by the water monster. Besides, none of these people are from a family of young and old.
If he is buried at the bottom of the river, the whole family will have nothing to rely on, so now if we ask people to go down to slay the demons, I am afraid no one will dare to go..." After the old man finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh.
After glancing at everyone, Li Xuan pretended to be disappointed, put away his sword, sighed and turned around to leave. He only took two steps when he heard a thick voice from behind: "Taoist Master, please wait a moment, I am willing to go down to the river."
Finally, to get rid of this scourge, please also ask the Taoist Master to lend me the magic weapon."
With his back to the crowd, Li Xuan's eyes flashed with approval, and then he slowly turned around and looked at the speaker. Behind the crowd, he saw two burly men standing like iron towers.
Tiger eyes and cold stars, the sky is round, the earth is square and square, the spirit is clear and energetic, and a pair of eyes are resolute and resolute. Although he does not understand the art of cultivating the way of heaven, he still has an innate fierceness.
Looking at the man in front of him, Li Xuan secretly praised: "What a set of muscles and bones, it would be a pity if you don't practice Taoism!" Then he asked:
"What's your name? As the old man said just now, you are bold and fearless, or you have no worries. Otherwise, how could you dare to do this?"
When the man asked the question, he quickly bowed and replied: "Taoist priest, my surname is Zhang. Because I have good water properties, everyone calls me Zhang Xiaolong." At this point, Zhang Xiaolong paused, looking a little gloomy, and then said
: "I have had no parents since I was a child, and I have only relied on the support of my neighbors to grow up to this day. I can say that I have no worries. In order to repay these villagers and elders, no matter whether I live or die today, as long as I can get rid of this water monster, I will
Even if I die, I will never complain."'
"Okay, okay! What a strong man, but you have to think about it. Although Pindao's magic weapon can still cure the water monster, things at the bottom of the river are so unpredictable that I can't take care of them! If there is someone by then,
Three long and two short, I regret it!"
As soon as Li Xuan finished speaking, he heard the old man say: "Yes, Xiaolong, this is too risky. I think it's better to wait for a while. We all have discussed it, and then we can invite an immortal master who knows water to come forward."
Come……"
"Yes, Xiaolong! Listen to Dad, you must not go down, it's too risky..." The old man started, and everyone started to persuade him again.
Looking at the sincere eyes of the villagers, Zhang Xiaolong's eyes gradually became moist: "Fellow villagers, you don't need to say anything. I know what I am doing. If I don't kill the monster today, I, Zhang Xiaolong, will never go ashore."
Zhang Xiaolong's eyes once again burst with fiery persistence. Without waiting for anyone to speak, he turned to Li Xuan and said, "Please give me the treasure, Taoist Priest!"
Whether life or death, I have no regrets."
Li Xuan looked around, but everyone was hesitant to speak, and then said to Zhang Xiaolong: "Okay! This sword is extraordinary, you can just go into the water with this sword later, and do as I tell you, and it will be fine.
All you have to do is throw this sword into the water monster's lair, and something will happen. Even if something changes, I will try my best to keep you safe." As he said that, he turned his hand over, purple light flashed, and the three-foot long sword appeared in front of everyone again.
, when everyone was sighing, they saw Li Xuan holding a sword with one hand, making a secret with the other hand, and driving two flying talismans into the sword body, handed it to Zhang Xiaolong, and explained how to use it, and then asked Zhang Xiaolong to go down to the river.
Already.
Zhang Xiaolong held the sword in his hand and suddenly felt a warm current coming from his hand. He turned back to look at the villagers, gritted his teeth, and turned towards the river.
Looking at Zhang Xiaolong's resolute departure, Li Xuan nodded slightly, with a smile on his face.
"Xiaolong, you must be careful!"
"If you can't fight the water monster, come ashore quickly, and we'll find a way..." Everyone shouted, and then there was a sound of "plop...", and a small splash of water rippled on the river, and in the blink of an eye it was submerged in the rolling waves.
Middle... The river section here is extremely fast due to the terrain. If Zhang Xiaolong wasn't a man like Zhang Xiaolong who is proficient in water and has a strong body, he would have been swept away without a trace before he even reached the bottom of the water.
It is said that Zhang Xiaolong walked to the river bank with his sword, took a look at the rolling river water, took a deep breath, jumped into the river, using his hands and feet, and dived all the way. At the beginning, he could still feel the undercurrents and the waves covering his eyes. The deeper he dived, the deeper he dived.
, my eyes gradually became clear. I thought that the bottom of the river was not affected by the water surface and the floating mud did not move, but it was clearer than the top.
After probably sneaking to a depth of tens of meters, the surrounding light began to dim again. He was hovering in the water. Through the layers of water curtains, he could vaguely see a giant pit under two water rocks in the distance. It was so dark inside that his eyesight stopped there.
He couldn't move any further, and could only vaguely see the shape of the huge pit and the lush water plants on its edge.
After sneaking for a while, Zhang Xiaolong was able to see the whole pit: it was a pit between two huge rocks, with a radius of no less than twenty feet. The entrance was irregular in shape, and it was surrounded by
Dense aquatic plants, looking from the outside, are completely dark. From time to time, bubbles as big as a water tank emerge from the dark hole. Occasionally, fish and shrimps come here and take a detour or return in panic.
Back away.
Looking at the pothole not far away that looked like the mouth of a wild beast, Zhang Xiaolong felt nervous for no reason and secretly said: "It seems that this is the hiding place of the water monster. According to the Taoist priest's instructions, all I have to do is throw this sword into that hole."
The nest is enough, but this sword is so small, I'm afraid it's not as big as one of the monster's teeth..." Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaolong couldn't help but pick up the sword, and looked closer, and saw that the sword body no longer had the previous
It was so gorgeous that it looked like a wooden sword at this time. It was light and effortless in the hand. At the moment, I was a little undecided: "This is strange, the sword is so blazing in the hands of the Taoist leader. Why is it here?"
My hands are like dead wood and feathers? Hey! No matter, I will risk my life today for the sake of my fellow villagers on the shore, but I won’t throw a sword from this far away. This sword is light and the water is fast, and I’m afraid it won’t reach the entrance of the cave.
Washed away by the current."
Zhang Xiaolong made up his mind, emboldened himself, turned around, and swam towards the dark pothole again; this time he dived much deeper, and for a while, unprecedented water pressure came from all directions. In this situation
, if it were an ordinary person, he would probably suffocate to death if he were not crushed to death at the bottom of the water. However, Zhang Xiaolong did not panic and slowly dived down. He had grown up by the river since he was a child, and the environment was difficult.
Not only has he developed an enviably strong physique, but his breath-holding skills under water are unmatched by anyone within a hundred miles. It usually only takes five or six minutes for an ordinary person, but he is good, even if he is bored for about twenty minutes.
It's no big deal. Of course, these innate conditions are also an important factor in why he dares to come here alone.
Zhang Xiaolong swam very carefully, trying not to make any noise. Gradually, he got closer and closer to the entrance of the cave. The surrounding water layer began to tremble regularly, and some strange sounds could be faintly heard. He
It is concluded that this is definitely not something that ordinary fish can emit.
Get closer... get closer... finally see it clearly... Oh my god! Zhang Xiaolong's eyes were so round, he stared at the huge hole in disbelief, and he almost couldn't control the breath in his chest and abdomen. He was shocked.
Breathe it out.
From Zhang Xiaolong's point of view, in the turbid and dark pit, a huge water beast with a snake head and a turtle body was crawling at the bottom of the pit, with its eyes closed. Its body, which was nearly half the size of a football field, occupied almost half of the space of the lair.
, the water is rippling, and bubbles are constantly emerging from the nostrils with the big mouth of the pot, swinging, and floating upward.'
Zhang Xiaolong swam gently to the side of the pothole, found a rock that could cover him, stopped, stuck his head out again, looked at the water monster, and thought: "Maybe this guy is resting after eating!
It seems that now is the best time to get rid of it." Thinking in his mind, he tightened his sword tightly, gritted his teeth, leaned out half of his body, used all his strength to throw his sword towards the water monster, and at the same time,
He recited in his mind a few spells dictated by Li Xuan before he left.
But as soon as the sword was released, a dazzling purple light shot out, making a slight sword whine, as fast as thunder and lightning, and drew an arc across the dark bottom of the river, heading straight for the water monster.
As soon as the sword was released, Zhang Xiaolong felt as if he had put down a thousand kilograms of weight. He suddenly felt a lot lighter, but his eyes were still fixed on the purple light that was related to whether he could return to the shore safely.
"Ding..." In a very short period of time, a harsh sound of gold and iron clashing came. Zhang Xiaolong quickly looked at it, and saw that the place where the sword struck was actually the thick back shell of the water monster, and the strong impact only
A piece the size of a washbasin was cut off from the back shell, but it did not penetrate the hard shell of the water monster.
The invisible shock wave stirred up layers of undercurrents and spread around.
"Roar..." Before Zhang Xiaolong could recover, a dull roar came from the pit, and the sleeping water monster was angered by the sudden attack.
Here it is the king. Since the spiritual wisdom was opened, no creature has ever dared to challenge his authority. But today, this long-established detachment has been touched. Someone actually dared to sneak attack under his nose. Although
He was not injured, but as the king of the water tribe here, how could he forgive such a small violation with his dignity?
Speaking of this monster, there is also a lot of history; it was born from the intercourse of a thousand-year-old dragon and a huge turtle, called the monster turtle. This thing has foreign roots, and it requires a lot of spiritual energy from heaven and earth to help it get rid of it.
The body, once grown, can be large or small. It is more ferocious than a dragon and has the tough armor of a giant turtle. Although this thing is a hybrid of a dragon and a turtle, its shape is similar. The body is like a turtle, the head is like a snake, there is a dragon tail, and the belly is
It has eight short legs for paddling. It has a pointed beak, eyes that emit red light, and a poisonous mist that can be sprayed from its mouth. After the climate is established, the poisonous mist sprayed from the mouth gradually condenses. No matter what magic weapon is stained with feces, it will
Humans and beasts will die after just one sniff.
In addition, it can also control the wind and rain, and turn the rivers and seas upside down, which is very powerful. But a few decades ago, the pitiful spiritual energy in the world wanted to achieve its true form, and it was really unknown how many years and months it would take; therefore,
To be continued...
