The turbulent river, suddenly pulling up the waves more than a foot high, but it is the boat under us, can't help but fall apart, senior brother Jia Daoren tried his best to support the hull of the boat, so as not to let the boat overturn into the river, I only have to lie dead in the stern of the boat, in this dangerous scene, I can hardly even stand firmly, let alone help the senior brother Jia Daoren row.

But the master still stood at the bow of the boat with a solemn expression, standing there steadily, not moving, as if this hurricane and waves could not have any effect on him at all, as if he was standing on the flat ground, calm!

"Click! Click! ”

"Not good!"

Jia Daoren, the senior brother who was supporting the boat, suddenly shouted, I looked at it urgently, and sure enough, the hull of the boat was splitting a little bit, and the crisp breaking sound hit my nerves again and again, and I looked up and saw that it was at least three or five zhang away from the opposite shore, and our hull was placed in the turbulent position in the center of the river.

"Just rowing, nothing else, don't care!"

The master glared at Senior Brother Jia Daoren slightly, and said lightly.

"Yes!"

Senior Brother Jia Daoren nodded heavily, and immediately buried his head in the boat, but the more and more the hull of the boat was split, the severity of the seepage in it was also increasing, and our feet and even ankles had been soaked in the river water.

But the more panicked the Jia Dao people became, the more they could not control the direction of the boats, and the boats kept rushing downstream along the river, and the Jia Dao people could only get a little closer to the opposite shore, but we had already rushed down at least three miles from the upstream.

"Buzz! Airplanes!! ”

Not far away, a monstrous wave rushed straight in, and when he saw this scene, the master immediately shouted: "Throw away the boat, let's jump!" ”

"Plop!"

As soon as Master's words fell, he jumped in, Senior Brother Jia Daoren followed Master's figure and jumped down, I hesitated, gritted my teeth, and shouted: "Master! I'm coming! ”

I opened my mouth and took a sharp breath, I also followed the master and my brother, jumped in, the turbulent whirlpool, swept me into it at once, and turned straight to the deep water layer of the river, I struggled harder, but the more I used too much, it was swept deeper and deeper, unable to extricate myself, just at the moment when I held my breath to the point of collapse, my arm sank, and I felt a palm grab me heavily, and dragged me out—

"Poof......

I opened my mouth to spew out a cloud of river water, I coughed dry for a long time, and then collapsed on the bank, gasping for breath, looking up, but found that standing beside me, it was not the master, but Jia Daoren, who I have always called a cheap senior brother, I looked at Jia Daoren with a slight astonishment, but saw Jia Daoren smile at me, and said: "It's okay now, we are already at the foot of Jiulong Mountain." ”

"Thank you, senior brother!"

From the bottom of my heart, I shouted to Jia Daoren, and then sighed softly: "Senior brother, I have always doubted you, but you are at a critical juncture......

"Huh! Brother Xiaojiu, I know that you suspect that I killed the old, and that old man in the dark shadow, and you also suspect that I am pretending, right? Actually, I can't blame you, because I also doubt if it's my doppelganger because he's pretending to be me...... It's really too much like ......."

Jia Daoren smiled bitterly, then shook his head indifferently, and continued: "Although I still don't know the identity of that person, I can be sure that he must be someone I know very well, otherwise he wouldn't know all my habits, even the big knife he uses is surprisingly similar to this Xuanwu knife of mine!" ”

"Anyway, I have to thank you, senior brother, not only for not caring that I misunderstood you, but also for saving my life regardless of the danger of my life, this kindness will never be forgotten by Xiaojiu!"

I staggered to my feet, clasped my fists and saluted Jia Daoren respectfully, and then said, "Senior brother, why haven't you seen Master?" Where is his old man now?! ”

"Yes! I'm also wondering why he should have gone ashore before us, so why did he disappear?! ”

The senior brother picked me up and looked around in the same confusion, very helpless.

"Senior brother! Isn't it that Master was swept down by the flood?! ”

I looked at Jia Daoren in shock and said in a daze.

"Haha! You! Where to run?! ”

Cold, in the valley in the distance, came the familiar voice of the master, Jia Daoren and I glanced at each other, both looking towards the source of the sound, this place is a valley in the shade of Jiulong Mountain, closer, is shrouded by a thick layer of gray mist, the more I go forward, the more I can't see the path.

The flood behind us was getting bigger and bigger, and soon soaked our shoes, so we had to speed up our pace, however, the flowers and trees in front of us also seemed to have been submerged in water, extremely damp and cold, and these blades of grass, touching the skin, you can feel the hot sting, scratching feeling, extremely strong.

"Senior brother, these aquatic plants are poisonous, maybe it is caused by the surrounding fog, well, these fogs are also weird, we should be careful when we walk!"

Jia Daoren took off the Xuanwu knife and cut the thorns along the way, and the road ahead became more and more difficult to walk, but thinking that the master was inside, we had to find it.

"Master?! Where are you? ”

As I walked, I shouted loudly to Master, but the dense fog in front of me kept intensifying, and I couldn't see anything clearly, let alone look for Master's traces.

Inexplicably, I pinched a talisman finger, but I didn't feel it at all, and I asked Jia Daoren in astonishment: "Senior brother, why can't I make the finger?" Moreover, the yin energy here seems to be getting heavier and heavier! ”

"Huh?"

Jia Daoren frowned, stopped immediately, and then made a Tiangang handprint, and said in a slight shock: "Yes! Why can't you feel the righteousness of heaven and earth here? What the hell is this place?! ”

"This place is on the side of the yin water, and the place of extreme yin under Jiulong Mountain!"

Suddenly, Master's figure came out of nowhere, appeared in front of us inexplicably, and said in a cold voice, while he was covered with mud, hair and clothes, and was very messy, I almost opened my mouth wide, and asked in a daze, "Master, you, what have you encountered?" How did it come to be like this?! ”

"Oh, Master just killed a water ghost, that's why he made such a mess, hehe!"

The Master shook his clothes with ease, and looked at the dirt all over his body, and seemed very happy.

"Uh...... Uncle Shi, with your old Taoism, deal with a water ghost, as for making it like this? ”

Jia Daoren glanced at the master up and down, immediately patted his head, and smiled bitterly.

"Humph! You two bastards, if you don't believe it, you might try it, maybe it's not as good as me! ”

The master blew his beard and glared at Jia Daoren.

But when I heard that Jia Daoren was also scolded by the master as a bastard boy, I was immediately happy, in terms of age, Jia Daoren can be regarded as an old man in his fifties and sixties, but in front of the master, he can only be measured by a "boy", but in comparison, no one can really compare with the age of the master, and the age of more than eighty years old, compared to young people, is not much better, this is very rare among the same age!

In short, Master is almost a legend in my eyes.

"Try? Uncle Shi, why should we try? Since we have come to the foot of Jiulong Mountain, let's go up the mountain to rest for a while, and then return to Youlong Town when the water level of the Qingshui River goes down, why can't we get along with this valley? ”

Jia Daoren stepped forward puzzled, stretched out his hand to stir up the thick mist, strangely, the dark clouds outside, and the bean-sized raindrops are getting bigger and bigger, but here, it seems to be a place outside the world, not only the raindrops fall, but also in the gray mist, there is a little light, so that we can vaguely see the things between the square inches.

"Nonsense! Where do you think you can get up to Jiulong Mountain?! ”

The master glanced at Jia Daoren angrily, found a smooth mountain rock to sit down, and cautiously took out the Xuantie heavy sword and sat down with the sword.

Hearing what Master said, Jia Daoren and I immediately groped around for the path up the mountain, and after a while, both of us were dumbfounded, only to see that the mountain walls on the left and right were extremely steep, and there was not even a foothold to climb in between, and what was more serious was that the flood outside the valley mouth was still rising, and it almost blocked the valley mouth at the moment, and I am afraid that in a few moments, the flood outside would pour in.

The situation is very serious!

"Uncle Shi, there is no way up the mountain!"

Jia Daoren searched for a long time, and finally returned to the master and said in a daze.

"Are you still thinking about how to get up to Jiulong Mountain now?"

The master blew his beard and asked angrily.

"Could it be...... Could it be that the path to Jiulong Mountain is only this valley?! ”

Jia Daoren frowned, and said helplessly, I can understand Jia Daoren's concerns, this place is extremely yin, and the master has just dealt with a water ghost inside, and I don't know what other mountain spirits and ghosts are in this weird valley, so I definitely don't want to go to this valley if it is not necessary.

"Hmmm! This place is the Yin side of Jiulong Mountain, the place of extreme yin, but it is also the only way to the top of Jiulong Mountain, maybe this is our calamity, if you want to live, you have to fight with this strange valley......"

The master stood up lazily, lifted the Xuantie heavy sword and said, "I just leaned out more than ten zhang in front of me, but I had no choice but to retreat, now that we are all here, we can break through head-on!" ”

"Break in? Master, is it necessary to use such serious words? Could it be that with your old Taoism, you can only walk in for more than ten zhang?! ”

I was stunned and shuddered.
