The red-eyed man at the bow of the ship was hanging money, waving a red flag nearly two feet long, and blowing a horn. Under his command, dozens of shirtless men in red scarves shook their long oars in unison, letting out a thunderous shout. At the stern of the boat sat six big men, beating the leather drum like raindrops.

Then the second and third...... Nearly 100 gold-painted dragon boats rushed past the side of the river, the horns soared into the clouds, and the drums were deafening.

Seeing that the first dragon boat was about to be caught up by the boat race on the right, the big man who played the "dragon head" suddenly held the red flag, roared and turned around and swept away, and with a "bang", the man on the bow of the pursuer was knocked down into the river.

The group of dragons was leaderless, and all the men on the boat suddenly became chaotic, some reached out to pull the men who fell into the water to call for help, and some simply jumped into the river. It was soon overtaken by other dragon boats.

The drums became more and more urgent, and the dragon boats scrambled to each other, shouting to catch up, and waving flags to each other, but in a moment, six or seven "dragon heads" were swept into the water, and one of them was hit by the head, and he didn't have time to hum, and the blood splashed, and he immediately fainted

The second daughter of Xiaoqing practiced on Mount Emei, almost never descended the mountain, and had never seen such a spectacular and intense scene, which was very interesting.

Xu Xuansheng likes to be the most lively, dragon boat racing is a must-see program for him during the Dragon Boat Festival every year, although the future is unpredictable, he is still attracted to it. At the same time, he watched nervously through the gap in the sack, and at the same time introduced the allusions and customs of the Dragon Boat Festival to them.

Xiaoqing listened to it with relish, and Gege smiled: "It turns out that there are so many new and interesting things under the mountain, and being a human being is much more fun than being a fairy." Sister, it's not as good as ours ......."

She paused, glanced at Xu Xuan with a smile, her lips moved, and she didn't know what Chuanyin said, Bai Suzhen's cheeks suddenly turned red like a glow, and she glanced at her, slightly gloomy.

On the right side of the sail hunting, there was a lot of noise, and another boat overtook them, and many heads poked out of the windows of the gunwales, and they were excitedly pointing at the dragon boats, talking about which boat could win the first place.

I heard someone shouting, "I'm betting on that redhorn dragon boat!" You don't know who the ship's 'dragon head' is, do you? Hehe, he is Zhu Yong, the head of the forbidden army hand-picked by Zhao Guan's family. ”

Everyone exclaimed in unison, and the man was even more proud, and said: "This Dragon Boat Race is held by the order of Zhao Guan's family. I heard that after the official tour of Yangzhou, yesterday I went to Jinshan Temple to pray for the blessings of the people of the world, and now I happen to watch the thousands of sails in Jinshan Temple. If Zhu Jiaotou can't win the red flag, where will the official's face go? ”

There was another uproar on the boat, and Xu Xuan's heart was even more chuckled, surprised and delighted.

Jinshan Temple is the important place of Buddhism in the current dynasty, the former Buddha seal Zen master is proficient in Zen theory, and the cultivation is even more unfathomable, the fame shocks the world, and the friendship with Su Dongpo is more passed on as a good story. In addition to the Mingxin Zen Master who now replaces Master Mingkong to become the "Protector of the Seventy-two Temples of Emei", the seven elders such as Master Yiwei in the temple are extremely high, compassionate and wise, and have won the trust of the Zhao official family, and the disciples are masters in large numbers, and the world is known as "West Emei, East Jinshan". It can be seen that it can be seen with a huge temple and Emei side by side.

If what this person said is true, Jinshan Temple must be heavily guarded at this moment, in addition to these monks and forbidden soldiers, there may be Taoist masters to escort them. If he can break free from the control of the camel slave under the nose of the Zhao official family and speak out, he can not only get rid of the demon emperor and demon queen in one fell swoop, but also hope to clear his grievances and save the whole family.

At the moment, his spirit was greatly lifted, and he told the second daughter about the plan. Xiao Qing was surprised and delighted when he learned that he could move slightly, and said with a smile: "Little pervert, it seems that I underestimated you." Sister, let's join forces to infuse qi, as long as one of us can break through the meridians, we will have a chance to get out. ”

Xu Xuan did not hesitate, held the second daughter's soft, and recited the trick to lose his anger.

Bai Suzhen was tightly held by his warm palm, and her heart jumped inexplicably, seeing Xiaoqing staring at her with a smile, her ears were hot again, and she closed her eyes and pretended not to see.

Xiaoqing's eyes were vicious and tricky, and he could see at a glance his strange feelings for this young man. This feeling has never been felt before, different from Xiaoqing's sisterhood, and different from Ge Changgeng's teacher and friend, in her simple and lonely cultivation career, it seems so strange and complicated, especially after experiencing those strange dreams in the past few days, it makes her even more confused and overwhelmed.

According to Ge Changgeng, from "humanity" to "immortal road", in addition to refining Qi Dan and Yuan Ying can come and go freely, the most important thing is to cut off the seven emotions and six desires, be indifferent and pure, and assimilate with heaven and earth.

But she has been practicing for thousands of years, and she never knows what the "seven emotions and six desires" are, whether it is the worry when she partes with him, the joy when she meets, the heartbeat and ear heat when she touches, and the sweet and sour when she is relative...... What about the ignorance of all kinds of inexplicable words?

It is said that those who want to become immortals must first be human, but since being an immortal must be ruthless and desireless, why should they fall into the world first to experience this so-called mortal emotion? If she must go through these calamities first, how should she cut off the love thread, throw away the demons in her heart, and refine into a delicate ice heart without dust?

These questions have been churning in her mind for days, but she has never been able to find an answer, which makes her heart shake and sink deeper and deeper.

In the midst of her thoughts, a warm air flow has penetrated into her meridians from Xu Xuan's palm, slowly flowing into the sea of qi, she trembled slightly, and the Yuanying Jin Dan buried in the dantian seemed to be activated.

The palms of the three of them against each other, the true qi flowed continuously, like spring water melting ice, bursting through the stream, although it could not drive away the cold poison in the two women's bodies, but the stiff meridians gradually activated, and the frost on the skin also melted little by little.

Xu Xuan's recovery was faster, and after a stick of incense, nearly half of the eight veins of the Qi Sutra had penetrated, and he was overjoyed.

The fog gradually cleared, and the sky was clear. The river wind was fierce, the canvas was inspiring, and the speed of the boat became faster and faster, and gradually surpassed the dragon boats.

Through the gap of the sack, looking ahead, you can faintly see the green island on the river, the twin towers are high, and there is a brilliant golden light shining in the sun, and it is the famous Jinshan Temple.

The dragon boats are competing for the current, the competition is more dramatic, there are bursts of cheers and shouts on the bank of the river, gongs and drums are noisy, and it is obvious that the people nearby have rushed to watch when they hear the news.

Seeing that Jinshan Temple was getting closer and closer, Xu Xuan's heart gradually hung in his throat, as if it would burst out at any time. Just as he was concentrating on rushing away from the last vein, he suddenly heard a screaming and howling from far to near, and then there were exclamations on the shore and on the river, and the drums were chaotic.

I saw the silver light staggered in the sky, and dozens of Lingbao Taoist priests in soapy clothes and black crowns flew with swords, rushing down side by side, shouting in unison: "The demon has appeared!" The long sword danced like a meteor, and shot angrily into the river in front of him.

"Boom!" The waves exploded, and the long swords flew into the sky. Xu Xuan and the three of them shook suddenly, and the river boat was thrown three feet high.

The boat in front of the right was even more volleyed and tumbled, smashing heavily on the river, and the mast and gunwales broke in response.

Several dragon boats avoided it, and suddenly collided with it one after another, exclaiming one after another, and I don't know how many people threw it into the water, and the river was flushed red.

With a "bang", the river boat spun and fell down in a hurry, and the earthquake almost fell apart.

Before Xu Xuan and the three of them could sit down, the audience shouted in unison, the sword light danced wildly, and the river suddenly sank downward, and the rapids were surging, forming a vortex ditch that was more than a hundred feet long.

Then there was a strange and dull roar from the ditch, and in an instant the waves erupted wildly, and the whole river seemed to be boiling and exploding!

"Boom" sounded, the air waves exploded, the river boat was smashed when it boarded, and the captain and the man in Tsing Yi both fell into the water. The camel slave picked up two sacks, rushed out of the waves, and swept towards the big boat behind.

was turned upside down like this, Xu Xuan's meridians were all washed away, and he didn't care about shaking it at the moment, holding the dagger and stabbing the sack hard. But the ice spider silk was far tougher than he had imagined, and it took dozens of pokes and stabs before he could barely open a finger-sized opening.

A hundred feet away suddenly rushed into the sky and pulled out a silver light like Optimus Prime, which flew and slammed into the river.

"W-wh The roar was deafening, and all the screams and screams were drowning.

Xu Xuan's heart sank, and he almost couldn't believe his eyes.

The sun was shining, shining with silver light on the monster's scales and armor. But I saw that it was like a giant python, with antlers and lion's mane, with its teeth and claws in the air, roaring wildly. The long swords of the Lingbao Taoist priests gathered and shot again and again, and were swept by its giant tail flying and sweeping, all of which were thrown in all directions.

Dragon!

It turned out to be really a dragon!

Xu Xuan has heard a lot of strange things from the diners in his family since he was a child, but no one has ever been able to accurately describe the appearance of the dragon. I thought that the so-called dragon was just a fierce beast made up since ancient times, which was used by officials to scare the people.

Who would have thought that today they would be on the Yangtze River, in broad daylight, and witness it with their own eyes!

The gongs, drums, and horns all stopped, and almost all the people on the river and the shore froze, except for those Lingbao Taoist priests. The passengers on the big ship in the rear were all stammering, and they only looked up, and even the camel slaves rushed down to the deck with their burdens unnoticed.

The white dragon roared and soared, slamming down the river, whirlpooling and rolling, forming a narrow white wave, which stretched rapidly towards the Jinshan Temple in the distance.

A long-bearded, tall and thin Lingbao Taoist priest shouted: "Set up a formation to intercept it, don't let this demon alarm the holy driver!" ”

All the Taoist priests echoed in unison, staggered and froze, and dozens of long swords "jingled" into a huge "ten" character, flying and whirling, constantly chasing along the river.

The passengers on the boat seemed to wake up and made an uproar, and some said that the dragon was so ferocious, it must be ominous and evil, and the world was afraid that it would be chaotic again; Some say that Zhao Guan's family is praying in Jinshan Temple, and this white dragon suddenly appeared, which shows that it is auspicious, and it is at the order of the Son of Heaven Buwei to appear; Others simply bow down to the west and kowtow, and keep chanting Nan Mu Amitabha Buddha and asking the Bodhisattva for blessing.
