Chapter 57: The Jewel in the River
The patrol soldiers eventually had to release the captured merchant because of Jiang Renbao's sudden disappearance.
After all, they can't just listen to Jiang Renbao's words and conclude that they are indeed illegally assembled.
Besides, this merchant did hold a leash in his hand, and a big black dog stared at everyone with two big round eyes, barking at a few people from time to time, if it weren't for the owner pulling the rope, I am afraid that he would really pounce.
"There's something wrong with that kid, do you remember what he looked like?" asked the soldier who led the group.
"I don't remember ......"
Several people said in unison, and at the same time wondered in their hearts, with their ability to recognize people, it stands to reason that they can remember a certain characteristic of each other even by just looking at it.
But why can't you remember what the other person looks like?
"I wonder if I should secretly follow the fat man to see it! Maybe what the man said just now didn't come out of nowhere?" someone suggested.
“...... Let's go!" The leader thought for a moment, looked at the fat businessman who was about to disappear on the street corner, and immediately made a decision, and followed with a wave of his hand.
......
"Someone has discovered us!" The fat merchant who led the dog forward looked anxious, and immediately began to run wildly after crossing the street corner to avoid the sight of the soldiers, "I don't care what I say about this kind of thing that damages yin morality! Mao's river god is probably a monster who specializes in eating boys and girls!"
The big black dog led by Shang Jia saw that his master had run away, and immediately ran after Sa Yazi.
"!" The fat merchant exclaimed, and the whole person was dragged forward by the big black dog, "Stop...... Dog Stuff ...... Stop ......"
The sound of Shang Jia's heavy footsteps echoed in the alley, and his breathless breathing made it impossible for him to continue to speak half a word.
"He's there!
At this moment, Shang Jia heard the voice of a soldier behind him.
"It's the end of the calf!"
Shang Jia said secretly in his heart, and the thought of confessing and leniency suddenly rose.
With a bang, the fat body finally struggled to move again, and a hungry tiger pounced on the ground fiercely.
......
After Jiang Renbao left the ferry, he wanted to go back to see how the old cat had dealt with the aftermath, but after walking a few steps, he changed his route and returned to the position of the ferry.
"You're going to let me swim like this?" Jiang Renbao asked, looking at the clear Surabaya River.
Gollum jumped out of the Mixed Yuan Ring, "Otherwise?"
"But I can't swim!" Jiang Renbao looked embarrassed, "Or you can go down! No matter what treasure you bring up, it's all yours, I don't want it!"
"I'm not in a state where I can get into the water!"
"How?"
"Melts when you enter the water! Hurry up, just hold your breath and go downstream! You can also try to wrap your body with aura to isolate the flow of water! With your current cultivation, you can find any way! If it really doesn't work at that time, just fly out of the sword!" Gu urged, and by the way, he brought up his whimsical thoughts.
“...... How do you feel a little unreliable!" Jiang Renbao looked at Gu Ji's excited face, and his heart was worried.
"Hurry up, if it's too late, someone might get there first!"
"Okay...... Then I'll try!" Jiang Renbao made a jumping motion, and a fierce man plunged into the water.
For Jiang Renbao, who has never eaten pork but has seen a pig run, he can only draw a scoop on a gourd now, and open his arms and legs to swim into the water.
"Where are you going?" the cooing voice echoed in Jiang Renbao's mind.
"Go down!"
"Open your eyes and see, are you downstream?" said Gollum.
"Can you open your eyes in the water?" Jiang Renbao said, and then tried to open his eyes slowly.
The front is cloudy, and the visual distance of the eyes is probably no more than five meters.
At the same time, Jiang Renbao felt that all his movements in the water were restricted, if there was really any water ghost or water demon, I am afraid that he would be unable to do anything at that time.
"Isn't the bottom of the water clear, and why is the water so muddy when you run down?"
"How do I know! With my eyes open, the river sand will come in, I'll try to see if it is useful to use the aura!" Jiang Renbao said, turning the aura into his eyes, and as a result, except that the visual range became a little larger, there was no effect, and his eyeballs had been scraped on the sand. Then he tried to sacrifice his thoughts, but the thoughts were in the same condition of his body in the river, as if he had encountered many obstacles, and it was difficult to move forward.
"This river is really weird! Go up first!" Jiang Renbao's body slowly floated, thinking that he had swam very deep, but it only took four breaths to float to the surface.
Back on the shore and steaming the moisture of his clothes with spiritual energy, Jiang Renbao sat on a wooden stake at the ferry, quietly staring at the Surabaya River.
Gu Ji jumped out of the Mixed Yuan Ring again, with a heartache look, "That gem is at least the size of a human head, shining with a faint green light, is it just going to pass by this Demon King?"
"Jewels?" Jiang Renbao's eyes suddenly lit up, "The head is so big, I'll try again!"
Jiang Renbao, who had already given up, didn't say a word, and another fierce man stabbed down.
As a result, once again, it was in vain.
"If only I knew how to avoid water!" muttered Gollum.
"Avoiding water?"
"It belongs to one of the Five Elements Escape Technique, which is the simplest. Wait, I'll see if I have anything here!"
After speaking, Gollum's body began to flip from the inside out, constantly making cooing sounds.
The time of a stick of incense has passed, and the work of a cup of tea has passed......
Jiang Renbao didn't know how many treasures were stored in Gu's body, but he couldn't wait.
"Found it!"
Syllable!
A crumpled book was still on the ground in front of Jiang Renbao.
I saw that the title of the book was "Ninety-Nine Chapters of the Commentary on the Five Elements of the Spell".
"I gave it to you!" said Gollum as he looked at Jiang Renbao's surprised gaze.
During the time that Jiang Renbao got along with Li Lanzhi, he had more or less personal experience in the use of the Five Elements Technique.
But basically, they are some superficial things that I have summarized from my basic understanding of the five elements, and most of them cannot be regarded as real spells.
So when Jiang Renbao saw the name of the book, his heart couldn't help but be full of joy.
Hurriedly picked it up and flipped through it.
Fire, wind, water, thunder, and earth, a total of five series, each series is divided into nineteen chapters, and the remaining eight chapters are......
Jiang Renbao turned to the end, and his heart immediately became ecstatic.
It turned out to be eight kinds of Five Elements Great Array.
"Why don't you take it out earlier!" Jiang Renbao was ecstatic.
"There are too many treasures of this demon king, if you don't remind me, how do I know!" Gu glanced at Jiang Renbao, "Learn the trick of avoiding water first, and accepting that gem is the king!"
As he spoke, he jumped on top of Jiang Renbao's head with a few clicks, sighed and said, "Alas! Now that I think about it, that old boy wants me to ...... I'm a mother!"
Poof!
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Renbao had already jumped into the water.
"Learned so quickly?"
The quick-reacting Goo stood on the stake, staring at Jiang Renbao who was gradually disappearing into the water.
