[The book continues from the above, and the last book said that before Mu Qingming parted, he promised Han's mother to get rid of the demon. But first you have to figure out what kind of water demon is that hurts people, and then you can think of luring the water demon out of the lake. The next day, Mu Qingming, who went to work at the Qi's store, saw Zhao Liang, who he hadn't seen for a long time, after lunch. Zhao Liang, who was anxious to eliminate the Immortal Dao, proposed whether he could use the method of luring the snake out of the hole to lure the disappeared Immortal Dao out. Zhao Liang's proposal inspired Mu Qingming, and he could still use the method of luring the snake out of the hole to lure the Dianchi Water Demon out of the bottom of the lake to find out. And Miaotian and Miaoyu surveyed on the grass seaside, looking for the little demonic energy left, and went all the way south to the seabed, where the demonic qi disappeared, and the two were helpless. 】

In the city, where the rain had just passed, the ground was still wet. Every slate was smooth and shiny by the autumn rain.

The jade dragon pile is not excluded, even though there are many towering trees to shade the sky and the sun, and the slope paved with stone steps and bluestone slabs on the slope can also be seen everywhere. All the plants and trees on the slope are still dripping, and the aroma of the earth mixed with the fragrance of the grass and trees rushes into the nostrils.

The sky is high and the clouds are clear, and the sun shines on the ancient apricot trees on the slope, and there are a little golden lights in the green. The autumn breeze blew and shook off the golden yellow of the ground.

Mu Qingming pondered for a long time, and suddenly his eyes lit up. Zhao Liang reminded him that if he couldn't find the trace of the water demon, he could also lure the snake out of the hole and attract the water demon hidden in the deep water.

The old snake is cunning and difficult to elicit. But all kinds of rumors suggest that there may be another water demon in the lake, and it is not just an old dragon.

And according to Xiao Hei and Han Mu's narration, it is not difficult to hear that this water demon is either a water monkey or a water tiger. Among them, from Han's mother's description, it is known that this object looks like a human, and its height is undoubtedly that of an adult, but it is an adult water tiger. Mu Qingming still has a variety of ways to lure this water tiger out of the bottom of the lake and ask what is going on; Then all the mysteries will be solved.

Mu Qing meditated on this, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. raised his eyes again, and saw Zhao Liang who was anxiously covering his face, so he put away his smile and said unhurriedly: "You let me think about it, how to lure the snake out of the hole?" ”。

After a pause, Mu Qingming added, "But if you want to catch the Immortal Dao in one go, you will have a little more patience." This plan needs time to be laid out, otherwise it will make the Immortal Path run. ”。

When Zhao Liang heard this, his face was a little less anxious and a little more calm. After pondering for a while, he also felt that what Mu Qingming said was reasonable, so he nodded slowly and said, "Well, listen to you." If you want me to help you, just say it. ”。

Zhao Liang, who said this, desperately hoped in his heart to make a modest contribution in the eradication of the cult of the Immortal Dao, which was careless of human life.

Mu Qingming didn't want to determine whether the Immortal Dao had been destroyed as soon as possible, but he didn't have any clues now, and the existing Seven Hall Masters of the Immortal Dao were also nowhere to be found. For the Immortal Dao, he can only take one step at a time. The previous words were just said to make Zhao Liang feel relieved.

"Well, if there is a need or progress, I will ask Miaotian to contact you." Mu Qingming nodded in response......

On the edge of the sea of grass after the autumn rain, there was mud everywhere. Miaotian took Miaoyu, who had changed into coarse cloth clothes and pants, and came to Mu Qingming's reeds one foot at a time, and looked around at the reeds swaying from side to side under the lake breeze.

The autumn rain has just stopped, and there are faint clouds and mist covering the lake, shuttling between the reeds, and the vast lake waves are like an endless sea. A few low-hanging green willows on the shore swayed gracefully willows in the lake breeze, shaking off the willow leaves that were gradually withering yellow.

Looking around for a moment, Miao Tian walked straight to the shallows and found a few reeds with fractures that Mu Qingming mentioned. Upon closer inspection, he also recognized the crescent-shaped fracture, which was indeed made by the old man's mouth spitting water.

"You see, this is indeed the old man's legacy." Miao Tian broke off a reed and handed it to Miao Yu, who came up.

Miaoyu took it, and after taking a closer look at the fracture, she put the reed under her nose and sniffed it, frowning.

The autumn rain washed away the blood left by the old snake on the broken wound, and Miao Yu could only smell the smell of the reeds from it, but there was no smell of the old dragon.

But fortunately, Miao Tian, who is good at tracking, is still on the side. And although this area is shallow, it is not in deep water, and Miaotian's unique tracking technique can still come in handy.

After looking left and right, his eyes fell on the south side of the sea of grass.

"Fortunately, there is also a faint cold demonic aura, extending from here to that side." Miaotian raised his hand and pointed to the place where his eyes could see, and said lightly.

In Miaotian's eyes, a white demonic qi invisible to the naked eye, like a cold air, walked south against the water, and the wind could not disperse. Because the demonic qi has faded away, it is impossible to tell whether it is an old snake or a water tiger only through the demonic qi, so they must continue to investigate in the direction of the demonic qi's departure.

Miao Tian and Miao Yu looked at each other, and then they walked ashore in unison, stepping on the soft and wet mud and sand on the shore, and headed south along the lake.

The breeze on the lake brought a burst of coolness, but also contributed to the waves, blowing the lake water to wash onto the shore, leaving a series of white foam before slowly retreating.

Miaotian and Miaoyu walked side by side, looking for the wisp of demonic energy on the lake and walking all the way south, their eyes wandering on the surface of the lake. At any time, you can see sailboats and small steamers coming and going on the deep blue lake, splashing snow-white waves.

The reeds in the shallows on the shore are obstacles, and the weeping willows on the shore are shady, swaying in the lake breeze, and the slender willows are like silk, dancing in the lake breeze. The villages are scattered between the ditches and the villages, and it is completely a water town scenery.

Nearby fishermen sailed a small boat that was nicknamed "bent pear" by the locals because of its small hull, and the fishermen nicknamed it "bent pear", sailing among the grass and reeds, shuttling between cattails, and sprinkling sturdy blue-gray nets to catch fish and shrimp in the lake.

"Marry you wanderer, and the family lives in a small boat. Parents sleep in the hatch, and the rear cabin is a new house; Three generations of fishing and selling in exchange for food and clothing; Sea vegetables dipped in chili peppers, always eaten constantly. The singing of fishing songs echoed among the reeds, and the water birds fluttered their wings and flew high.

Only Miaotian and Miaoyu can see it, and the demonic energy as light as mist gathers on the water surface and does not disperse, all the way to the south. But there is nothing unusual on the surface of the lake other than that demonic aura.

They chased the demonic spirit for a long time and came to the ridge.

Haigeng, as the name suggests, is a ridge formed by the accumulation of a large amount of sediment carried by rivers such as Panlong River and Dongbaisha River. The ridge that was submerged in the Dianchi Lake was gradually exposed in the middle of the Qing Dynasty because the water level of the Dianchi Lake continued to decrease. Not only did it not add to the snake, but it added a beautiful scenery to the vast Dianchi Lake. With the passage of time, the ridge has become a natural boundary between the deep sea area and the shallow sea area. To the north of the ridge is the sea of grass that Miaotian and they have just surveyed.

Standing on the towering sand ridge dam, Miao Tian silently looked around, and soon found the place where the demonic energy disappeared, which was on the channel of the gap in the embankment.

Several ships were coming in through the channel, and several more were sailing out of the channel.

The demonic energy started in the sea of grass, but after extending to the seabed, it disappeared without a trace. Although he saw the demonic energy disappear here, Miaotian could still smell a fishy smell from the oncoming lake breeze. On the contrary, Miaoyu who followed Miaotian couldn't smell anything.

As the so-called art industry has a specialization, Miaotian, who is good at tracking books, has a much more sensitive nose and smell than ordinary people. He could clearly smell the fishy stench that came with the wind and flew ashore, similar to the stench of fish and shrimp after death, mixed with the stench of carrion corpses, which always made people smell sick.

Miao Tian sniffed it carefully and found that this demonic qi was oozing from the body of a water monster, but it was by no means an old snake. The demonic aura emitted by the snake will have a fishy smell, but it will not be rancid.

Even though Miao Tian could tell that this smell came from the monster spirit, there were many types of water monsters. For example, the famous water ghosts, as well as the relict fish and the yokotofish, are among the water monsters. Including the water monster mentioned in the rumors that came in, the thing that may be a water tiger, and the water monkey with excellent water nature, all belong to the category of water monsters.

The demonic aura emanating from their bodies will be fishy and mixed with rancid stench. Therefore, although Miaotian has determined from the demonic aura that there is a water monster near the Haigeng Channel, he can't confirm what kind of water monster it is?

Not only that, but because he had found traces of the old snake in the sea of grass before, and now he didn't see any trace of the old snake in the place where the demon qi disappeared, which made Miaotian puzzled.

He used his mind to transmit the voice to Miao Yu and secretly explained the situation; After hearing this, Miao Yu looked at the ships coming and going in the channel, pondered for a while, and then said to Miao Tian with his thoughts: "Could it be that there is more than one water demon, but it is the old snake who hurts people?" ”。

In the clear lake overgrown with aquatic plants, caravans and small steamers loaded with sought-after department stores, medicinal herbs, and supplies urgently needed at home are constantly coming and going on the lake. In the center of the caravan, the mainmast stands tall, and the sails hanging from the mast are puffed up in the wind. Smoke from the chimneys on the small steamer was also rising into the air with the wind.

On the ships that sailed to the waterway of the sea, the boatman's horn that had been sung for hundreds of years sounded, and there was one after another on the lake: "Ba'er...... Flattened ......".

After Miao Tian was silent for a long time, he bowed his head slightly, which was regarded as a sign of approval of Miao Yu's guess.

Judging from the previous rumors, it may be that the old snake and the water monster appeared in the sea of grass at the same time, but the old snake harmed people. made the child named Han Damao almost die of poison injuries.

Thinking of this, Miao Tian suddenly had a plan: if they can catch the water demon that appeared with Lao Xian, maybe they can know what the truth of the water demon rumors is?

Just thinking of this, the lake suddenly became white mist, and the fishy wind was everywhere. There was a white expanse between heaven and earth, and nothing could be seen clearly.

Will Mu Qingming's idea work? What is the sudden white mist and fishy wind? Find out what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown.
