The second case, the ancient village secretary 21
The inside of the spring is very wide, and it is much larger than it can be seen from above. Shen Zezhi paddled the water with both hands and dived to the bottom. If there is a dragon hiding here, it must be underwater.
Suddenly, Shen Zezhi saw some black shadows swimming towards him head-on under the water. Shen Zezhi's eyebrows furrowed, and his hand holding the sword tightened.
Soon he saw the true colors of those dark shadows. These black shadows have bodies like snakes, heads like dragons, but there are only two horns on their heads, not open, and there are only a pair of claws like eagle claws under the dragon's body. It looks like a little dragon, but it's just a look.
Shen Zezhi narrowed his eyes, these things are not dragons, they are Jiao, legend has it that dragons are born in the sea and Jiao in the rivers and lakes. The dragon and Jiao look similar, but Jiao is definitely not at the level of the dragon. Shen Zezhi thought in his heart, could it be that the lake behind Jiaojia Village has always been only a Jiao instead of a dragon?
A few small black Jiao were very fierce, and when they came to Shen Zezhi's side, they had to open their mouths to bite people. Shen Zezhi's feet were suspended in the lake, and his body was not as convenient as on land. But those little Jiao's sharp teeth and claws could pass by him every time, and none of them could hurt Liao He.
Shen Zeyi swung away a small Jiao that pounced on him, his eyes full of impatience. These things can't be used by people, but they are very abrasive and consume people's physical strength. Shen Zezhi held Chunjun's hand and raised it, and with the other hand, he held the magic sword Buddha mantra in the sword's mouth and blessed Chunjun. Chunjun was originally an ancient sword, and as soon as he was blessed by the Buddha's mantra, the sword immediately lit up with golden light.
Those little Jiao surrounded Shen Zezhiyou, but they didn't dare to pounce on them like before. It can be seen that they also seem to be very afraid of the golden light on the pure jun. Shen Zezhi said: Now you know that you are afraid? He saw the opportunity and slashed at the medical strip Xiao Jiao beside him, but the little Jiao didn't escape in a hurry, and was cut in two pieces from the middle. I heard a piercing scream, and the little Jiao turned into a black mist and disappeared.
Shen Zezhi ignored these, and he began to clean up the other discipline rules, because these things could not be used to benefit Shen Zezhi, and he was afraid that the sword in his hand was panicked. Shen Zezhi will let them mess up, as long as they mess up, they can get rid of them as soon as possible. Sure enough, in just ten minutes, four or five Xiao Jiao were all killed by Shen Ze one by one. However, these dead little Jiao also turned into black mist.
Shen Zezhi looked at the last bit of black mist in the water and said, "It seems to be true." ”
He said with his hands and pierced his legs like a fish into the depths of a spring. Slowly, the color of the spring water becomes darker and darker. From transparent white to cyan, then green, dark green, and finally completely black. Shen Zezhi didn't know where he went, there was also water around here, but he didn't want the water on it to be as clear, but sticky as it made people's hairs stand upside down. Shen Zezhi felt like he was trapped in a swamp, and he felt tightness in his chest even though he didn't hold his breath. But the feet are still not ground, and it can be seen that they can still go down.
After walking down for a quarter of an hour, Shen Zezhi's feet slammed into the air and fell. In a hurry, he lowered the sword in his hand. But soon his horn stepped on and drove out. It's just that the soles of his feet are very slippery, and Shen Zezhi slipped and fell to the ground without paying attention.
Shen Zezhi stood up with the thing in front of him, and when his hand slammed into such a thing, he felt that he had touched the jade in his hand, which was warm and cool. He looked up but was stunned. It's not jade, it's bone.
It was a huge skeleton, a giant coiled dragon-like thing. Shen Zezhi circled around the skeleton and said to himself: "So it's really like this, is it dead?" "Just by looking at the bones, you know that this dragon doesn't know how dead it has been for hundreds of years.
Suddenly, a dragon's groan sounded. Shen Zeyi took a few steps back. He held his sword in his hand and looked around warily. Only then did Shen Zezhi realize that this place was different from other places. There was no water here, and there was a dry earth underneath your feet, covered with a layer of black, sticky mud. Shen Zezhi fell from there just now. This place is really weird. There is such a place under the water, and what is the black mud-like thing that can isolate the water above?
At this moment, a long sigh was suddenly heard. Shen Zezhi frowned and looked around. Suddenly, a man appeared in the place where the dragon was headed. This is a man in an ancient robe, his black hair is tied up, and his face is very handsome, but his face is very pale.
"Who are you?" Shen Zezhi asked?
The man asked, "Who are you?" ”
Shen Ze was stunned, this person spoke like an ancient person.
Seeing that Shen Zezhi didn't speak, the man said again: "I've been here for thousands of years, I didn't expect to see other people one day."
Shen Zezhi's mind moved: "You are this dragon?" ”
The man nodded: "I have been dead for a thousand years. ”
Shen Zezhi's face did not change, but he thought in his heart: It turns out that this dragon has died the year before last.
The man said, "My name is Yan Xun, what's your name." ”
Shen Zezhi: "Shen Zezhi." ”
"Why did you come?" Yan Xun asked.
Shen Zezhi thought for a moment and said: "Dragged by others." ”
Yan Xun looked at Shen Zezhi in surprise and asked, "Just entrusted by someone?" ”
Shen Zezhi: "It's not all, I also want to know what's weird here." ”
"Weird?" He looked at Shen Zezhi and asked, "What's weird." ”
Shen Zezhi said: "Do you know what kind of place this is?" ”
Yan Xun thought for a while and said, "It's been too long, I can't remember." ”
Shen Zezhi said: "There is a lake above here, and there is a village in front of the lake called Jiaojia Village. I've heard from people in the village that what was originally just a pool of water behind their village has turned into a lake over the years. I didn't know why, but now it seems that it's because you're here. ”
Yan Xun said lightly: "Perhaps, I am a dragon, and settling here will naturally attract water vapor." ”
Shen Zezhi said: "There is a dragon god in this lake, and it will come out several times a year. So the people in the village always make sacrifices to the dragon god. ”
Yan Xun frowned: "This is impossible, I have never gone out." ”
Shen Zezhi said: "But the villagers and I did see the dragon from the outside. ”
Yan Xun looked at him and asked, "Is it really a dragon?" ”
Shen Zezhi smiled slightly: "It just looks like a dragon, but now that I think about it, it should be Jiao." ”
Yan Xun frowned: "Jiao, even if I have been dead for so long, my soul has always been here. There is a dragon qi Jiao here, and he will never dare to come here. ”
Shen Zezhi said: "Ordinary Jiao encounters dragons and avoids them, but the Jiao here is a magic Jiao." ”
Magic Jiao? Yan Xun said: "There are demon Jiao here? ”
Shen Zezhi said: "It's not just a magic Jiao, there is a magic mountain next to this lake, and the demonic energy on the mountain is wanton. ”
Yan Xun wondered, "Why didn't I feel it at all?" ”
Shen Zezhi said: Your old man has slept for thousands of years, what do you know? He said, "Are you the Stone Protector Divine Beast here?" ”
Yan Huan's eyes lit up: "Are you here for misfortune?" ”
Shen Zezhi said: "I said that I was entrusted by others. I myself have no interest in Too. ”
Yan Xun narrowed his eyes and looked him up and down, and finally locked his gaze under his neck: "Doom." ”
Shen Zezhi stretched out his hand and took out the green bone jade and said, "Yes, I got it by chance." ”
Yan Xuan said: "Thousands of years ago, the Great Si Ming and the Young Si Ming were entrusted by the Son of Heaven of the Zhou Chamber to divide and hide the misfortune, and I, as one of the Jade Guardian Divine Beasts, was ordered to recover the Divine Jade here. And you already have a piece of divine jade, it seems that there is already a jade protection beast dead. At this point, his voice changed: "Are you here to kill me?" ”
Shen Zezhi said: "You don't need me to kill, you are already dead." ”
Yan Xun looked at him, and Shen Zezhi said: "My friend was taken away by a person, and I had to come down for his life." But now that there's a keel here, my mission is done. I said I wasn't interested in the doom, I just wanted to save my friends. ”
Yan Xun thought for a moment and smiled: "It's really cunning." ”
Shen Zezhi said: "It's just to save us from trouble with each other." ”
Yan Xuan sighed softly and said: "The luck of the Great Zhou is exhausted, but the Great Si Ming and the Young Si Ming agreed to the matter of the Son of Heaven of the Zhou Family. What's so good about this kind of thing, why do so many people want it?
Shen Zezhi looked at him, you naturally have no way to understand, born as a dragon, with a lifespan of thousands of years, after death, the soul directly ascends to the heavenly court and ranks in the immortal class. How do you understand the fear of death in the short life span of a mortal for a few decades?
Shen Zezhi thought for a while and asked, "So there really is a fragment of misfortune here." ”
Yan Xun nodded. Shen Zezhi felt strange in his heart. The dragon is a divine jade that can make people immortal, and the dragon is a divine beast. How can such a place have such a messy place as the back mountain.
Shen Zezhi asked: "What else is there here besides the doom?" ”
Yan Xun looked at him and said, "There is only Doom." ”
Shen Zezhi talked about the situation in the back mountain and Yan Huan, and Yan Huan's expression became cautious. If what Shen Zezhi said was true, then there must be something strange about this place.
Yan Wei thought for a while and said, "The problem should still be on the back mountain. ”
Shen Zezhi looked at it and said, "Do you want to leave here with me?" ”
Yan Xun shook his head: "No, I can't leave here. ”
Shen Zezhi looked at him: "I don't know how to get out." ”
Yan Xun smiled rarely: "This is easy to do." As he spoke, Shen Zezhi felt that his eyes were dark, and when he opened his eyes again, he found that he was already in the clear water, and he looked around and swam over. It's very close to the top. Shen Zezhi immediately poked his head out of the water.
Jiao Yuzhou's eyes lit up when he looked at Shen Zezhi coming out of the water, and he stretched out his hand to pull Shen Zezhi up: "How are things going?" ”
Shen Zezhi took off his coat and wrung out the water: "I saw a pair of keels. ”
"What?" Jiao Yuzhou naturally didn't believe his words.
Shen Zezhi said: "There is only one dragon bone below, and that dragon doesn't know how long it has been dead." ”
Jiao Yuzhou said: "But there is a dragon coming out of the lake. ”
Shen Zezhi looked at him and asked, "Is that really a dragon?" ”
Jiao Yuzhou raised his eyebrows for a week, he recalled the "dragon" he had seen, he didn't pay attention to it before, but now it seems that holding things is indeed very similar to a dragon, but it is not a dragon.
"Jiao." Jiao Yuzhou said.
