76, Tai Chi
Near the lake, the water is getting shallower and shallow, and there are water reeds, among which there are a few egrets and a nest of wild ducks.
The swampy land is naturally full of mosquitoes. A few black-purple flying insects circled the side of the boat and probed.
Ru Sanshui stared at the insects and said to Jiang Heng, "I see an old friend." ”
The poisonous scorpion tail, dragonfly wings, and the beak head of the bird are the swarms of the Rakshasa private.
Jiang Heng: "Uncle, is there any other way to go?"
Answer: "To dock, the nearest way is through here." Didn't you say you were going to hurry?"
Ru Sanshui: "That's it, just go here." ”
Jiang Heng took out two talismans from his sleeve, one on the bow and one on the stern of the boat, to suppress demons and exorcise evil spirits and keep flying insects out.
The deeper you go into the swamp, the more rakshasa worms there are, and they gradually become swarming moths, hiding the sky and the moon. The sound of flapping wings and flying rustled and swayed.
But they were clearly sapient, and they followed as they went, always surrounding, not approaching, as if to welcome them into the depths of the swamp.
Jiang Heng drew his sword and stood on the bow of the ship, guarding against the sudden invasion of these shady flying insects. Ru Sanshui felt that the talisman was no longer useful, so he took it off, because they also affected Ru Sanshui himself.
The swarm was indeed getting closer, narrowing the encirclement a little bit, and the annoying sound of flapping wings became clearer. The god of water glanced at it, and the old man was still rocking the oars calmly.
"Aren't you afraid?"
"I've walked a lot on the rivers and lakes, I haven't seen any gods and ghosts, and I'm afraid of what the swarm will do. You look more dangerous than the biters. ”
Ru Sanshui smiled: "That's what you said. ”
As soon as the words fell, her eyes were filled with black breath, and thousands of wisps of soul mist precipitated out, forming countless extremely thin needletips. You can't release them all at once, because there are still two living people around.
She and Jiang Heng were back to back, facing one side by one, and letting the old man rock the oar in the middle. She waved her hand to direct the Soul Needle to attack.
The black soul mist and the white sword light were dazzling. The battle intensified, and as the ship moved, the corpse of the Rakshasa Worm Black Crushed drifted along the water.
The old man suddenly asked, "My arm has just been bitten, there is no wound, just pain, does this have any effect?"
The god of water apologized: "It was our negligence. I didn't bite the vital point, and I didn't worry about it once or twice, but I was afraid of being besieged and eaten by this thing. ”
The old man was relieved, and continued to let the boat row forward steadily.
The rest of the swarm chose to dodge, and then condensed, gradually forming a pitch-black rakshasa with a scorpion tail and dark purple powder shaking off its wings.
Ru Sanshui's black pupils met its purple evil eyes.
There was more than one, and the subsequent swarm condensed a total of five rakshasas, among which there was also a rakshasa who was a man.
The Rakshasa at the head of the group bowed down, and the breath exhaled had a pungent taste, and it opened its mouth, as if it was imitating the shape of a person's mouth, and the corners of its mouth grinned to both sides.
It looked at Ru Sanshui and said silently, "Die." ”
Ru Sanshui took two deep breaths and showed a happy expression: "Unfortunately, I hate Rakshasa the most in my life, and I dare to challenge me, I am not small." Uncle, go up. ”
Let her kill her today.
Ru Sanshui turned around, and threw out a black soul blade in his palm, which approached the leading Rakshasa privately, and it blocked it with its arm, giving up its arm for life.
It then retreated, out of the fight, and all five fled in the same direction.
Just provoked, so fast to run? This trick is too clumsy.
Jiang Heng: "They can still fight, they are sure to fight with us and lose both, but if they want to escape, there can only be one reason, please enter the urn." ”
"Don't worry, I left a soul mist blade wound on that stupid thing, and I know its movements all over a radius of ten miles. ”
She put away the soul mist, and her eyes returned to normal: "Have you ever caught sparrows with a bamboo sieve?"
Jiang Heng shook his head, not understanding what she was going to say. Ru Sanshui: "Hold the sieve with a wooden stick, tie the wooden stick with a rope, and scatter the grain all the way to the bottom of the sieve." When the sparrow is hooked, the rope is pulled, and the bamboo sieve nets the sparrow, and when there are many, you can catch three or four. ”
Jiang Heng understood: "We are sparrows now. Are you going to keep going?"
Ru Sanshui smiled: "Follow, why don't you follow, I haven't had fun today." Not only did I have to go under the sieve, but I had to follow the rope and kill the person who was holding the rope. ”
Jiang Heng nodded, took out the money and silver from his arms, and handed it to the old man, the meaning was very clear, buy a boat.
The old man waved his hand: "That's it, I couldn't take it with me." ”
After letting the old man go ashore and leave, Jiang Heng left a "do not follow" signal on the coast, ordered the entourage to hand over to the local spies, and temporarily stationed in Hongze Lake.
Although Chen Linsheng most of them escaped, it was also necessary to prevent them from playing the routine of the Ecstasy Array and going back and forth.
They entered the swamp again, following the perception of Rusanshui, and headed north along the shore of the lake.
The soul mist surrounded the stern of the boat, pushing forward, Ru Sanshui sat on the bow of the boat with her eyes closed, and after touching a stick of incense, she opened her eyes: "It's here." ”
The pu reeds here are taller and denser, and there is almost no space for boats, and Ru Sanshui uses the soul mist to drive the soft sword to cut grass in front of him to open the way.
Jiang Heng saw scattered purple powder on the surface of the water, and was sure that the neighborhood was indeed a gathering place for those things.
There was no need to go any further, and the rakshasa insects hiding in the grass in all directions gradually flew out. In the dark night, their faint dark purple fluorescence converged into patches, like small holes rising, like fluorite shattering, like stars falling.
If they are harmless, they are more beautiful than fireflies, and they can see the ugly bodies under the fluorescence, but they are evil ghosts who ask for their lives.
They rise and gather, several, dozens, dozens...... Those in the prime of life, those who are still in their infancy, those who are withering and dying, those who are women and men, all of them.
They saw another racial group that had lived in this world for thousands of years, and they also had their own survival system, domain awareness, hierarchy, and way of communication......
They eat human souls, people eat animal meat, and no one is on the commanding heights. At this moment, they are threatened and instructed to act according to orders, but Ru Sanshui has no reason to pity them and let them go.
When the butcher's knife falls on the beasts, they will also rebel, and they will live on cannibalism and will one day be slaughtered.
The survival of the strong is the way, and it is the unavoidable principle.
Ru Sanshui saw that the largest rakshasa in their group was more than three times the size of the human body, full of luster, strong limbs, and it seemed that there were eggs about to be born in the belly.
It is the queen of the colony and the queen of the colony. It is in the most central leadership position, like an emperor who welcomes human envoys, but unfortunately the envoys are not here to make peace, but to assassinate.
"Bai Zejun, hard work. ”
The rakshasas, several times that of ordinary people, surrounded them in groups, and they were shaken open in an instant. These black, polished creatures, born with a belligerent heart, swarm up in an instant.
The pure masculine white soul and the cold black soul attract each other and complement each other.
Combine yin and embrace yang, form a Taiji array, and place the boat in the array. Ru Sanshui is located in the yin heart of Yang Taiji, and Jiang Heng is located in the yin and yang heart.
Ru Sanshui jumped up in the air, standing in the void, the wheel of Tai Chi with two people as the axis, open between heaven and earth, free to retract, swallow the sky and destroy the earth.
In the chaotic sound of flapping wings and falling water, when the morning sun rises, the sky is full of glory.
The purple glimmer of the rakshasa gradually dimmed and disappeared in the morning light, and the black body also turned into fine smoke and dust.
Rusanshui overlooks from a high place, there are no waves and microwaves on the water surface, it is a water mirror, and the sky is vast. The weeping willows on the shore are soft, and they are still green.
She withdrew her gaze, only to find Jiang Heng collapsed on the boat.
