Jade Bell
The surface of the water calmed down for a moment, and suddenly a huge wave surged more than ten feet high and slapped the surface of the river. Two dinghys in the vicinity were immediately plunged into the water. The boats on the river fled to the shore. The sound of water, the wind, and the cries for help of people were suddenly mixed together. Lian Chung didn't wait for orders, and immediately jumped out of the boat and carried the man who fell into the water to a nearby boat. Several other people also went down to save people, and even Li Xuan ran out. Zuo He Yan and the drunken Taoist stood on the boat, still unmoving. Soon, the people and boats on the river were cleared, and only their boats were floating alone on the water.
Zuo He Yan nodded at the drunken Taoist. The drunken man threw an oar. The oars whined and soared into the sky, and in an instant they plunged into the water with the sound of wind and thunder. There was a loud and dull buzzing sound underwater, as if something had exploded.
After the humming, the water was calm again, only the river wind whirring. The drunken Taoist and Zuo He Yan glanced at each other, and raised another oar. Before the second oar fell into the water, another great wave rose and swept the oar to the ground. The crowd shook the boat. Looking further, in the water ahead, there is a black shadow of dozens of zhang rising into the sky, and the waves brought up bring up the river surface for half a mile, as if a huge pothole appeared in the country. Li Xuan's ship floated in the wind and waves like a fallen leaf, but it did not sink.
The dark shadow was finally exposed to the daylight. I saw that it was about ten feet above the water, and it was vaguely a humanoid. There are sixteen big eyes on the huge head, some have pupils, some have no pupils, and some have pupils, and they show different colors of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. There are four earrings on each of the two huge ears that are about a foot high. It is said that the earrings are much larger than ordinary buckets. The giant mouth has no nose, and the top of its head is wet with hair or moss in the water. Each of the four arms held a cry of earth-shattering rage.
Zuo He Yan jumped up, the sword light shining under his feet, and he suddenly jumped into the sky. With a wave of his right hand, he raised a long whistle, and the whistling sound stirred up the surface of the river into waves and splashed water. The demon was immediately attracted to attention, and his blood basin opened his mouth, spewing out a column of purple and blackened water, and shot towards Zuo He Yan. Zuo He Yan deftly circled in the air, dodging the water column. Flying over the monster's head, he rolled over and grabbed his sword in his hand. Head and foot, with his sword stabbed straight down at the demon. Everyone looked from afar, but saw a cyan pillar of light falling from the sky, heading straight for the top of the demon's head.
Zuo He Yan stabbed down extremely quickly, but the demon's reaction was also very fast, his head was tilted, his legs sank, and he dodged the vital point. Zuo He didn't have time to change his move, he only turned the direction of the sword, and suddenly drew a long and deep hole on the side of the demon's waist. There was green blood overflowing from that mouth. The demon roared in pain, shielding the wound with one hand and wiping it with the other. The opening was immediately frozen. Zuo He Yan turned around on the water surface and flew towards the clouds again.
The drunken Taoist stabilized the boat below, drew a peachwood sword from his back, roared angrily, and killed the demon. The two seemed to have a tacit understanding, the drunken Taoist was in the past, and Zuo He Yan was from above, and they each stabbed at the demon. This time the demon has already gained experience, and each of its two big hands holds a shield to protect itself. The remaining two arms, one grasping a double-edged giant axe to meet the drunken Taoist, and the other grasping a mace, struck Zuo He Yan. Zuo He Yan suddenly increased his speed, dodged the double-edged giant axe, and with a "pass" sound, he even put a sword on the shield, and immediately knocked it into a large piece. The force of his impact was extremely great, and they were dozens of feet away, and they still felt the golden wind blowing on their faces.
The drunken Taoist changed direction, from the bottom up, to the demon's face. With a swing of the peachwood sword, it immediately blinded the demon's row of four eyes. Suddenly colorful liquid flowed down his face. The demon let out a terrible roar, and with a bend of its body, bursts of golden light burst out from the remaining twelve eyes, dazzling its eyes. Drunk people are unguarded, their eyes flash, and they can't see for a moment. Fortunately, he didn't know it well, and quickly retreated, avoiding the demon's mace.
The two of them glanced at each other from afar in the sky, centering on the demon, one after the other, circling it. Taking advantage of the fact that his back was facing the sun and facing the demon, Zuo He Yan raised his hand, and a fishing net with extremely thin silk thread went towards the demon cover. The demon seemed to have limited vision, and his eyes flashed again by the daylight, until the net covered half of his body, and then he roared and wanted to raise his hand to wave the net away. The net was woven by the demon craftsman with the ice silk of the snow mountain, and it was called the soul lock cover. The tenacity is abnormal, as soon as it is covered in the body, it is deeply embedded in the flesh, and ordinary people must not easily brush it off, not to mention the demon whose fingers are several feet thick? The demon is out of order, and the silk thread at the hand is deeply inserted, and the upper body is strangled into green blood in an instant. Zuo He Yan was in the front, and the drunken Taoist was behind, and the two sword lights each crossed the demon's arm, and suddenly a shield, a mace, and each with an arm, fell into the water with a bang, stirring up huge waves.
The demon couldn't swing off the soul locking cover, and suddenly roared, as if a layer of skin had been removed, and the demon that was one size smaller came out of its original body, but only two arms remained. The demon let out a piercing scream similar to that of a night owl, sank into the water and vanished.
The drunken Taoist and Zuo He Yan swept back to the boat. Zuo He Yan took out a compass and walked back and forth on the bow of the boat, chanting words in his mouth.
The crowd did not dare to disturb. The drunken Taoist laughed and said, "The old mallet wants to pretend to be a ghost." Come, the old Taoist priest will tell you. ”
Hearing this, Zuo He Yan turned his head and glanced at the drunken Taoist in warning. The drunken Taoist rolled his eyes and said, "Great, don't you tell these boys that you are an old fir tree in your old age?" Zuo Heyan shook his head, ignored him, and went to calculate the direction.
When everyone saw the two of them talking, they must be close friends, and it was also interesting. The drunken Taoist poured a big sip of wine, wiped his mouth and asked, "Come, the old Taoist priest will test you." The Beijing-Hangzhou Canal has been dredged several times and has always been calm. Now this section of the river is suddenly high and the waves are rushing, what is the reason?"
Lian Chung said with a smile: "If the seniors are coming, they are naturally born with a vision, otherwise how can they be worthy of the high fan of the seniors?"
The drunken Taoist threw a peanut at him and sneered: "The old Taoist priest is talking about feng shui." ”
Among the juniors, Zhang Linghui has been passed down from his family since he was a child, and there is some research on this. She looked around and said, "This section of the river is surrounded by three yuan and nine fortunes, and the gossip is harmonious and the middle palace is peaceful, which is the best place for feng shui." I don't think there should be a demon. ”
The drunken Taoist smiled and said, "Look at Kun Wei, and then look at Gen Zhen." ”
Zhang Linghui took a closer look and said suspiciously: "Kunwei should have a lake that can store the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but now it seems to be dry." Between the earthquakes... It seems to be an extra dirt mountain. ”
The drunken Taoist patted his legs and smiled: "The female doll has a good eye." This place is the best blessed place. But I don't know where the demon drained the water of Liyang Lake, and went to pile up a mountain of dirt. Such a reversal, the reverse flow of fortune, and the aura of anger all converge here. Now this section of the river has become a place for raising demons. The last time the old Taoist priest came to Dongzhushan to visit wine, there was a strange atmosphere in the wine, so I found it here. That thing was originally a silt monster at the bottom of the river, but it was nourished by this aura, and it actually had a climate, and it became a demon for a long time. I had some trouble dealing with it, so I went to ask the old mallet to help. He Yan looked back at Zuo He Yan and said, "Now the old mallet is looking for the nest of the Silt Demon, and it won't take long to think about it." ”
Lian Chung heard that he seemed to know a lot about the Demon Clan, and asked, "Can the senior give me some guidance on the matter of the Demon Clan's Demon Sect?"
The drunken Taoist took another sip of wine and said, "The master of the little bald donkey knows better about these things about Chen Guzi's rotten sesame seeds, and the old Taoist priest only knows some fur." The ancient gods, humans, demons, and witches fought each other, and there were no demons. The demon race is transformed by the anger of heaven and earth, and the bravery is abnormal. Fortunately, none of the leaders connected the organization, so it has not been a major harm. More than 300 years ago, there was a human race scattered immortals to order impermanence, led the disciples, and collected many demons, and regarded the great demon god as the supreme god, and established the demon sect. No one has ever seen this generation of great demon gods, and it is estimated that Ling Wuchang has erected an idol to unite everyone. In that demon cult, there are gods, humans, demons, witches, and demons, and they are gradually growing. It wasn't until a few days ago that the righteous heroes slaughtered the cold sky of the extreme north under the leadership of Master Shinra, and they uprooted it. I can't think of a resurgence now. ”
Lian Chung nodded and said no more. The drunken Taoist looked at him, but some knew what was on his mind, so they ignored him and talked to Zhang Linghui about feng shui. As he was talking, Zuo He Yan said loudly: "I found it." Is the old Taoist priest still going?"
The drunken Taoist laughed: "Why don't you go? ”
The two of them wandered and came to the middle of the river. Zuo He Yan pointed to the direction, and the two jumped into the water together. The people waited on the side of the ship for a long time, but there was no movement. was discussing, Zuo He Yan and the drunken Taoist both rushed out of the water again. Drunken Daodao: "I want two helpers." He pointed at Zhang Linghui: "Little girl, come with me." Zuo Heyan looked at Lian Chung and said, "Keep up." And he jumped into the river again. Lian Chung and Zhang Linghui glanced at each other, jumped up and followed.
The river water is very turbid, fortunately there is Zuo He Yan in front of the road, sand splitting water. After a while, I passed through a corridor and came to a cave. The cave house is the appearance of the Taoist temple in the world, there is a solemn mountain gate, and the pavilion is eaves. There are also three golden seal characters on the mountain gate. The drunken Taoist said to the two: "This seems to be the residence of a senior scattered immortal, which is occupied by this demon. He's hiding behind a magic circle, and he needs the two of you to help break it. Lian Zhang and the others nodded. In fact, the two of them are still shallow, that is, they do some errands.
It covers a very wide area from the Heavenly Palace, and I don't know which predecessor has such mana to open up such a cave at the bottom of the river. There is an enchantment in the palace, and Zuo He Yan has received the Taoist technique, and there is no water and sand coming in. The four of them circled around and came to a large bronze door. The bronze door was as high as three zhang, the door was five zhang wide, nine horizontal and nine vertical on it, and it was inlaid with eighty-one golden brass nails. Each of the four corners of the door has many patterned symbols.
Zuo He said: "This door is the Tianxuan Qiqiao Gate invented by Zhao Sishou, the giant of the Mo family. On the four corners, there are four talismans of heaven, earth, man and demon. It is necessary to infuse the talisman at the four corners with internal force. If you choose the right talisman and order, you can open the door. There are 256 combinations. If you don't know the combination, you can only try it slowly. ”
Lian Chung lost his voice and said, "So much, when do you have to try?"
The drunken Taoist smiled: "The old Taoist priest can try it out before he drinks all the wine." "Jump to the left door frame first. Zuo He Yan stood below him. Lian Chung hesitated for a moment and pointed upwards to the right. Zhang Linghui jumped up, and Lian Chung went to the lower right position by himself.
According to Zuo Heyan's method, the four of them entered the heaven, earth and man magic talisman respectively to tempt. There were as many as 256 combinations. When he tried the seventy-second kind, the drunken Taoist had lost his patience, sat down and took the wine gourd and said, "Rest first." Grandma's, this kind of fine grinding kung fu is the most fatal!"
Lian Chung sat beside him with a smile and said, "Seniors don't need to worry. Half an hour, we've tried almost a third of the way. That pair of combinations may not be the last one. The kid figured that if he tried for another hour and a half, he should have opened everything. ”
The drunken Taoist smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if I and the old mallet, it's best for you kid to try for a year and a half, right?"
Zhang Linghui chuckled: "The seniors are disrespectful to the old. ”
The drunken Taoist shook his head, took a sip of wine and said, "Hehe, you little girl is not interesting at all. Chao Lian Chung said: "Boy, don't marry a daughter-in-law like this, like a piece of ice." Except for some mung bean soup in the summer, nothing else is useful. ”
Lian Chung didn't know how to communicate with him, so he had to pretend to study how to open the door. The drunken Taoist smiled: "The old mallet is a master of this technique, and he said that he can only try it in a stupid way, but you kid is a good skill." ”
Lian Chung said with a smile: "The younger generation has learned a spell, as long as you secretly recite your favorite person's name three times in your heart, and then kick hard, no matter what door in the world can be kicked open." ”
The drunken Taoist glanced at him contemptuously and said, "Have you tried?"
Lian Chung nodded solemnly and said, "Exactly! Last time in Yuhang Bottle Kiln, the kid kicked open a door that no one could open." It's just that after that, he was chased and beaten by that aunt for ten miles, which was very miserable. ”
The drunken Taoist laughed, and Zhang Linghui also laughed. Zuo He Yan said coldly: "Then you use this method to see." If it opens, I will go to Yangzhou City to pee in public. He was telling a joke, but his expression was grim, and only the drunken man was amused. Zhang Linghui turned his head and pretended not to hear, but Lian Chung looked embarrassed. He was pure nonsense, so he had to laugh twice. Zuo He Yan seemed to be serious. Lian Chung shrugged, stood up and pretended to groan, and kicked the door.
Suddenly, I heard a loud sound, and the door actually opened. Lian Chung was stunned. Zuo Heyan and Zhang Linghui's eyes widened in disbelief, but the drunken Taoist rolled on the ground with laughter. Zuo He Yan looked at Lian Song, and Lian Song shook his head, saying that he didn't know what was going on.
The drunken Taoist laughed enough, and smiled at Zuo He Yan: "Remember to pee." Thinking about it, I was even more happy, and walked towards the door first. Lian Chung and Zhang Linghui naturally followed. Zuo Heyan was puzzled, shook his head and stopped thinking about it, and pulled his heels.
Inside the door was a large hall, and in the center was a stone offering table, on which a small jade object was placed, and nothing else. When I got closer, it was a white jade bell that was extremely shiny. The jade bell was about the size of a child's palm, and its whole body was crystal clear and soft, exuding bursts of soft light. Zuo He Yan stepped forward to take a closer look, and just as he wanted to reach out and touch it, the jade bell seemed to be displeased, making a hissing sound, and even more strange silk light flashed. Zuo He Yan didn't dare to make a mistake, so he folded off one leg from the stone table on the side, and gently touched the jade bell. The hissing sound resumed. The table leg was closer, and suddenly a white light flashed, and with a pop, the table leg was cut in two.
Several people looked at each other. After a while, they all came up to take a closer look. Strange to say, as long as everyone gets close to a certain distance, the jade bell hisses. Only when Lian Chung leaned over, instead of screaming, the light softened. Lian Chung looked at a few people with a smile, and slowly stretched out his hand towards the jade bell. The jade bell seemed to show some pattern faintly, and it flashed and disappeared. The other three all held their breath, for fear that if they made a big move, they would draw out the white light and harm Lian Song. It wasn't until Lian Chung held it in his hand that they all breathed a sigh of relief.
The jade bell seemed to exude bursts of joy in Lian Song's hands, like a living thing. Lian Chung gently rubbed it twice, and the jade bell made a crisp "ding" sound.
The drunken Taoist was surprised and said, "It's still a treasure that will recognize the Lord." Boy, how do you feel?"
Lian Chung himself was a little puzzled, and said: "The kid can't say what it feels, it seems to have a heart to mind with it, and I can feel that it is quite happy now." ”
Zhang Linghui said: "I seem to have read in the academy that some treasures and swords are born in the heavens and the earth, and they are born with instrument spirits. When you meet someone who is destined, you will confess the Lord. Even if someone else steals it, it can return to its owner on its own. I just don't know what this treasure does?"
Lian Chung smiled and said, "It doesn't matter what effect it has? Since it recognizes me, I'll take it first." Even if it doesn't work, at least it's pretty good. Zhang Linghui smiled silently.
Zuo He Yan didn't know what kind of treasure it was, but it didn't seem to be dangerous to Lian Chung, so he didn't care about it. Lian Chung put away the jade bell. I wanted to put it in the Qiankun bag, but the jade bell hissed. For fear of ruining the bag, he pasted it and stored it. The jade bell also rejoiced. Lian Chung smiled and shook his head.
