It was already winter, and the color of the lake had become very thin, revealing a deep cold. It must be cold during the day, but it is better at night.

The lights are cast on the surface of the lake without ripples, which is clearly visible, and it is impossible to tell which one is the real one in a trance.

The boat broke through the water and drifted slowly forward. The boatman was not in a hurry, but only lightly clicked the penny and set the direction of the boat.

Hu Ran wrapped in a big jacket, stood at the bow of the boat, and looked excitedly at the scenery around him.

This is just a game for Ning Du and Hu Ran, but for Xun Er, it is enough to make him sweat all over his head. There is simply not enough manpower from Yulong Street, and there are accidents in every arrangement, and such accidents are likely to eventually evolve into a crisis Ning Du's life, and he must eliminate all hidden dangers.

Behind a small boat, there may be ten small boats guarding in the dark.

After a large area of water, we arrived at the dense hanging towers, and the windows on the upper floors were basically open, and the objects for sale were displayed. The light is not strong, and the objects are half virtual and half real, attracting people to see.

"Boss, let's have two bowls of wine-stuffed rice balls!" Hu Ran shouted a long time, and then a long bamboo pole leaned out of the window, carrying a basket on it, and put it firmly on the boat.

Half of Fangyuan City, which is immersed in water, and half of the roads are waterways, and if you want to do business, you can't do it without this bit of effort. Merchants are not afraid that customers will run away and not give money, after all, no one in Fangyuan City has ever broken the rules.

Hu Ran opened the basket, took out the wine-stuffed rice balls in the groove of the basket, and Ning Du had a bowl, and after eating, he put the bowl and spoon and money in the basket, and the other party gently picked it up and took back the basket.

Such a shop does not need a shop, there is a place where it can be processed, which greatly saves the land area, and it has become the norm to have forty or fifty shops in a small building with five or six floors.

The boat stopped and went, and the long bamboo poles on both sides were picked out from time to time, and the food was brought to the boat, and then the copper and silver taels were collected in the basket.

"I can't eat anymore. ”

It was only half an hour, Hu Ran couldn't eat, and patted his stomach happily. She'll have to go around again and continue eating when she comes back.

"The front is the 'Ghost Face Gorge', and the two guest officers are ready. The boatman reminded with a smile.

There are several places in Fangyuan City with good scenery, and this "Ghost Face Gorge" is two towering rocks bordering the lake and the mountain, forming a gorge. I don't know which good deed person, carved countless ghost heads on both sides, lifelike, not to mention, but also to apply heavy colors. At night, the light reflected from the surface of the lake flashes to the ghost's face, which is extremely terrifying.

"It is rumored that this place has really scared the young woman to death, and if the guest officer is less courageous, he should not go there. ”

Hu Ran looked at the black hole and said timidly: "Young master, don't forget it, don't look at it." ”

"If you don't look at it, you don't look at it. Of course, Ning Du followed Hu Ran's wishes, and he didn't have much interest in visiting anything.

"Miss is not looking, then I will turn around. As soon as the boatman held up the penny, the boat shifted and slowly sailed towards the center of the lake.

Along the way, there are many small boats, on which there are women playing the pipa or plucking the strings, with beautiful faces, and they are not very dressed. The price of such a performer is not high, and most people who are in the mood are willing to invite them to play a song on the boat.

Ning Du and Hu Ran didn't know much about music, so they didn't have any plans. The boatman put a light on the stern of the boat to signal, and no one would bother.

Although I didn't ask anyone to play it, I listened to the music all the way. It's just that all kinds of things are mixed up and become a messy stew, which may be unbearable for people who are proficient in music and rhythm, but it sounds good to Ning Du and Hu Ran.

When they arrived at the center of the lake, the boatman said: "This is the 'Dragon's Den', it is rumored that there is a dragon imprisoned in this lake, and occasionally people see the dragon's shadow here, whether they can see it depends on the luck of the guest officer." ”

There were not a few ships roaming around here, apparently all of them were coming for the rumored dragon shadow, and most of them went back without seeing anything.

"Is there really a dragon in this world? I hear everyone say this every day, but I have never heard of anyone seeing the shadow of a dragon. There can't be a dragon down there, can you?"

Hu Ran lay on the side of the boat, his eyes wide and he looked down, expecting to see the huge creature in his imagination.

In fact, since the rumors of the dragon shadow, many people have dived to the bottom of the lake to find out, and after half of them died inexplicably and the other half lost their way, few people went down to explore. As a practitioner, we are basically aware that there is something untouchable underneath. However, this makes the rumors of the Dragon Shadow more realistic for ordinary people.

Beneath the surface of the water is a deep black, pure and nothing else.

Hu Ran's eyes were sour, he exhaled a long breath of white air, turned his head and asked, "Young Master, have you seen the dragon?"

Ning Duye also looked down for a long time, shook his head, and his expression immediately changed as soon as he wanted to speak.

"Look, what's that?!" Ning Du said excitedly.

"Where?"

Hu Ran immediately turned his head and stared wide-eyed, but he could still only see darkness.

"What, young master, what's there?"

"Didn't you?"

"Nope. ”

"If not, forget it. Ning Du said lightly, obviously this was his usual method of deceiving Hu Ran.

As for whether there is such a creature as a dragon in this world, Ning Du does not deny or be sure, he will definitely not believe it when he does not see it, but he is more inclined to believe it.

After waiting for a while, Ning Du saw that Hu Ran never raised his head, and couldn't help but look down.

"Young master, there really seems to be something down here. Hu Ran said with uncertainty.

"Yo, it's still sold. "I'd rather than fall for Hu Ran.

"Really. Hu Ran stared at the dark water, if she was not mistaken, there was really a dark shadow passing by, and she was sure that it would not be a fish.

Ning Du squatted down and looked under the water as well. There was nothing but deep black.

"No ......" Ning Du closed his mouth as soon as he said a word, staring intently at the deepest part of the black.

Faintly, there seemed to be a large black shadow moving slowly.

Ning Du was slightly shocked in his heart, grabbed Hu Ran's back, and lifted him up.

"What are you doing, young master?" Hu Ran was startled and couldn't help shouting.

Airplanes!

The calm surface of the lake suddenly trembled at a high frequency, which lasted for a moment and then calmed down as if nothing had happened.

"What's the matter?" the boatman hurried to the bow of the boat.

Ning Du stared intently at the depths of the bottom of the lake, but he didn't see any more phantoms.

"Young Master?" Hu Ran also asked suspiciously, it was just a phantom, it stands to reason that it would not shock the young master so much, maybe it was a big fish or a pile of seaweed.

Ning Du was not so timid as to be frightened by a phantom, the reason why he was so nervous was because he suddenly had a feeling of palpitations just now.

"Is it blood?" Ning Du wasn't sure what was causing him to palpitate, but intuitively felt that it was related to his blood.

"Could it be that the guest officer really saw the dragon shadow?" asked the boatman with some expectation.

Ning Du shook his head with a smile and said, "It's just dazzled." ”

"The guest officer should be careful, I forgot to remind the guest officer, there are often 'water ghosts' who drag people into the water and drown and loot money here, and the guest officer should not look at it for too long. The boatman looked around, and saw that the other boats were as usual, and certainly did not find any of the rumored "dragons".

"So scary? Then let's go. Hu Ran hurriedly hid in the cabin, not daring to look into the water again. As for the huge phantom just now, it is better not to see it, so as not to have nightmares at night.

The boatman propped up the penny and let the boat go back the way it came.

Ning Du glanced back at the center of the lake and was silent. If he was high enough, he would definitely dive to the bottom of the lake to find out, and he couldn't take that risk now.

"Is my blood really your blood taken?"

......

"This time I missed, it will be much more difficult next time. Dillon Nine said after arranging several special means to ensure that others would not overhear him.

The bearded man snorted coldly and said in a rough voice: "Such a young and vigorous person will always show flaws!"

"This kind of person knows the truth best about eating a trench and growing wise, even if there is still a chance, how can he not be wary of the two of us? Judging from the ability that Ning Du has shown, he will definitely not suffer any more losses, this person's talent in combat is extremely high. ”

"He might be on guard against others, but he was very wrong to be wary of us. What do we rely on? What do we rely on an endless stream of magic weapons! He can guard against one piece, and he can guard against a bunch of them?" the bearded man's tone was mixed with self-evident pride.

Both of them have reached the realm of Tongxuan, but they are not very good at simple combat, otherwise they would not let Ning Du escape from them.

"Misty flowers, yin and yang bags, and wild ends, these three things can no longer be used, and it is best to sell them to one person now. Dillon Nine said cautiously. He didn't want Dongjin Palace to touch the vine and find himself.

In Fangyuan City outside the Tiandu, no force can completely penetrate in, even Dongjin Palace. There are not a few characters who have been hidden here for decades, and it is possible that the owners of a small shop are all cultivators of the Four Realms.

"If you sell it, you sell it, with your and my abilities, are you afraid that this kind of thing will not be able to be recreated?" Although the bearded man said this, he was also distressed. The cost of creating a magic weapon is extremely high, and it is even more difficult to achieve the satisfaction.

"You have to sell someone, and the price has to be reasonable. Dillon Nine said.

"There are people in Fangyuan City, and you are worried that you can't find a seller?"

"In the past few days, it's better to stay in Fangyuan City and don't go out, to avoid the limelight. ”

"The task given to us is to bring Ning Du back a year ago, and if we delay it any longer, the deadline will be over. The bearded man said a little impatiently.

"I don't know, then, we only have one chance left to make a move, and there must be no problems!"
