Chapter 15: The Strange Face Underwater (2)
Although Ding Lingxiu couldn't believe it, he would never be wrong at such a close distance, and the person in front of him was Zhang Shanyi.
One of this person's arms was firmly entangled in the aquatic plants in the lake, and the whole person swayed in a large shape in the dark tide of the lake. What's even stranger is that his body is deeper in the lake and can't be seen. But the face was unusually clear, as if it was hit by a spotlight, the eyes were not distracted, and the mouth was closed one by one, as if it was still calling for help.
Although Ding Lingxiu was surprised, he didn't have time to think about it, he had been holding his breath and felt that his eyes began to glow, and his limbs were about to lose strength, he couldn't care about this strange scene, and he had to go back to the lake immediately to breathe.
Turning over and treading water, Ding Lingxiu looked at the light on the lake and began to swim upward, and not long after, he suddenly felt that his right foot was relieved, and the whole person froze, as if something was pulling him. Ding Lingxiu suddenly felt bad, looked down, and sure enough, his right foot was entangled in aquatic plants and couldn't move. Although Ding Lingxiu is in a very critical situation now, he has not struggled, because he knows very well that aquatic plants are extremely flexible, and they are generally relatively dense, once a person is entangled by it underwater, he will only pull tighter and tighter, and push more and more.
He wanted to lower his head and untie the aquatic weeds wrapped around it, but he was worried that the aquatic weeds would be wrapped around his neck. He had no choice but to lean his neck and slowly put his hand down, pulling the aquatic plants off his legs like taking off his socks, although this action seemed simple, but in this environment, it was very difficult. Ding Lingxiu had to grit his teeth and do his best with every movement. Because as long as he relaxes a little, he may be paralyzed and drowned in the lake forever.
It took another minute or so, and Ding Lingxiu finally got rid of the shackles of the aquatic plants, and by this time he was already trembling all over, and he felt that he was sweating a lot, all of which melted into the lake. The threat of death had forced Ding Lingxiu to swim towards the lake with all his might, which was no longer driven by consciousness, but by will.
When Ding Lingxiu surfaced, he felt as if he had just experienced the catastrophe of life and death, and the whole world was extremely open.
"Young Master Ding, are you okay? Hurry ashore. Zhang Shanyi shouted anxiously on the bridge, still holding a spirit talisman in his hand, as if he was preparing a sacrifice talisman.
"It's fine, but there's someone down there." Ding Lingxiu gasped for breath on the water and waved his hand.
It turned out that Zhang Shanyi waited on the shore for five minutes, and the time for normal people to hold their breath was really the limit, but Ding Lingxiu had not come out yet. Zhang Shanyi didn't know the underwater situation, so he was really worried about Ding Lingxiu's safety, and was ready to use the water dividing charm to help Ding Lingxiu.
"Not a human-faced sparrow? Is it human? Zhang Shanyi was stunned.
Ding Lingxiu wiped his face, closed his eyes and breathed freely, and said slowly:
"Zhang Zhenren, this person is very strange, he looks very similar to you, or is exactly the same."
"Huh? You can't be mistaken, right? I've been on shore all the time, how can I be underwater? Zhang Shanyi made the second monk even more confused.
"Indeed...... It's you. Ding Lingxiu squinted his eyes, and when he said halfway, he seemed to think of something, his eyes lit up, and then he said:
"Zhang Zhenren, I know what's going on, you go down with me to save people, there's not much time left, we have to hurry."
"Huh? But I can't swim. Zhang Shanyi said helplessly.
"Oh, okay." Ding Lingxiu sighed and swam from the center of the lake to the shore.
Ding Lingxiu went ashore, suddenly felt refreshed, and felt a warmth all over his body.
"Although Poor Dao can't swim, Poor Dao can use the Water Dividing Charm to help you." Zhang Shanyi said.
"You...... I came up and you said, don't use it first, and then talk about the time of the water dividing charm, it's okay to let me go back and forth, it's not enough to save people. I'll do it myself. ”
After saying that, Ding Lingxiu took out the Hundred Ghost Diagram from his backpack, Zhang Shanyi's eyes immediately lit up, and the whole person became frightened, and asked tremblingly:
"Young Master Ding, is this a hundred ghost diagram?"
"yes." Ding Lingxiu nodded as he flipped the pages.
"It is rumored in the world that the fragment of the True Hundred Ghost Diagram appeared in the Wenchuan Tribulation, but I didn't expect it to appear in the Ding family." Zhang Shanyi looked at the book of 100 ghosts held by Ding Lingxiu and sighed.
Ding Lingxiu was stunned for a moment and did not answer, because in the Great War of Humans and Demons in Wenchuan, although his father Ding Lin was indeed fighting on the front line, Ding Lin did not borrow the power of the Hundred Ghost Diagram. And this Taoist priest heard the rumors of the appearance of the Hundred Ghost Map, which means that as his father said, another Hundred Ghost Map really appeared in the world, and the holder is also one of the people who participated in the Fourth War of Humans and Demons.
What made Ding Lingxiu even more concerned was that it was not difficult to hear from Zhang Shanyi's words that there were already a lot of rumors about this book of Hundred Ghosts on the Dao, so there must be many people who had coveted it for a long time.
Ding Lingxiu secretly thought: In the future, we must be more cautious when using the Hundred Ghost Diagram.
When the page of the book turned to the human face tree, Ding Lingxiu took out the porcelain bottle and dripped blood on the page, and chanted a mantra in his mouth.
After reciting the mantra, a green light flashed, and the human-faced tree appeared on the wooden bridge.
Seeing that Ding Lingxiu summoned the human-faced tree, Zhang Shanyi couldn't help but sigh:
"Demon level? Young Master Ding is really a young talent, and he has a demon-level demon so quickly. ”
"It's just luck." Ding Lingxiu said modestly, and at the same time, there was something in his heart that made him regret it a little.
After all, he has only known Zhang Shanyi for less than a day, and with his current understanding of Zhang Shanyi, although he is a person who seems to be full of positive energy and trustworthy. But it seems that there is a deep city, and the communication between them is almost point-to-point, very measured, and this kind of scale is simply not something that a boy of Zhang Shanyi's age can do. Now that he knows that he has the Blue Dragon Hundred Ghost Diagram so quickly, I don't know if it will cause trouble.
And the human face tree was also taken aback when she saw Zhang Shanyi, because this Zhang Shanyi's aura was much higher than that of Ding Lingxiu, although the human face tree had returned to the holy realm and would no longer be afraid of the Taoist priest, she still instinctively dodged backwards.
"I don't know why the spiritual master called me out?" The human-faced tree said modestly.
The voice of the human-faced tree is soft and pleasant, since the abandonment of demonic nature, the human-faced tree has become more charming and tender, a bit of a good wife and mother, which can't help but make people fall in love.
"Time is pressing, I directly picked out the key points, now there is a person underwater, I have to hurry up to save him. One person can't fight him out of the bottom of the lake, so I need your help. Ding Lingxiu spoke quickly, but his words were clear.
"I see, what do you want me to do?" The human-faced tree looked embarrassed, "Little Spiritual Master, although I am not afraid of water, but my body will have a lot of buoyancy in the water, if you save the person who has just drowned, it is okay, but diving underwater, it is impossible." ”
"Of course I know, can you be smaller?" Ding Lingxiu asked.
"Getting smaller? There shouldn't be anything wrong with this. The human face tree said.
"Okay, it's good to be smaller. You're getting smaller now and hiding in my swim trunks. Ding Lingxiu said irrefutably, and at the same time pinned the military dagger in his backpack behind his buttocks, ready to go into the water.
"Huh?" The human-faced tree scratched her head, after all, she was also a female demon, and it was still difficult for her to get into a man's crotch.
"Oh, it's okay, there's a pocket in the back, you can get in, it's important to save people." Ding Lingxiu urged.
"Okay."
The human-faced tree pouted helplessly, became the size of a leaf, and jumped into the back butt pocket of Ding Lingxiu's swimming trunks.
"Zhang Zhenren, I went into the water to save people." Ding Lingxiu said.
"Okay, Young Master Ding must be more careful, if you haven't been able to come up after five minutes, I will use the water dividing charm to help you." Zhang Shanyi said.
"Then there's Brother Laodao."
After Ding Lingxiu finished speaking, he threw himself into the icy lake again.
