Lake, a peculiar lake. The water of the lake is clear and deep, and because it is deep, it is blue. The surface of the lake was calm, and there were no waves of water caused by any living creatures, not even the strong wind. It is like a lover's eyes, affectionate, teaching you to be infatuated and reluctant, but also like the edge of a sharp sword, chilling people, teaching people to be daunted; it is like a spring breeze, gentle and delicate, teaching you to get carried away, but also like the sound of broken strings, poignant and sultry, teaching you to break your heart.

"Absolutely beautiful!" Qin Churu exclaimed, "It's like a piece of white and flawless jade!"

When seeing beautiful things, women always like to use jewelry as a metaphor, while men like to describe them with flowers.

Qin Churu continued: "But I haven't discovered its magic yet, if it's clear and deep blue. ”

Xiao Difeng grabbed Qin Churu's hand and pulled her closer to the edge of the lake.

"Take a closer look. ”

The water of the lake is deep and clear, and the face is close to the surface of the lake, and you feel a little cool.

Qin Churu shook his head.

Xiao Difeng said: "Have you found your reflection?"

Qin Churu exclaimed in surprise and took a few steps back in fright.

There was no reflection of her in the lake, not even the reflection of the wild flowers and plants on the shore, and even the shadow of the sun!

"Unbelievable, it's terrifying!" Qin Churu exclaimed, "There is such a lake in the world!"

Xiao Difeng said: "But it has the reflection of the moon, at night." ”

Qin Churu was even more surprised and said:

"Only the reflection of the moon?"

The streets of the city are wide but crowded, crisscrossed by a mix of liquor shops, teahouses, and shops, and billboards and shops everywhere. Hawkers are shouting, pedestrians are circling around, girls are laughing, women are cursing, children are crying, dogs are barking, and the smell of alcohol, smoke, sweat and bad breath is mixed up, and all kinds of goods, smells and noises are confused, turning it into a paradise for leisure and shopping in the city.

Tao Xiaozhi, Amu, Datou and the iron bucket have been dazzled and dizzy by the dazzling array of goods, but they are not tired of it, and they only hate their purses for not being angry, and they can't collect those novelty and delicious food in their pockets and stuff them into their stomachs.

Amu suddenly exclaimed, "Who is that person?"

At the entrance of a very magnificently decorated and luxurious restaurant, a gorgeously dressed man with a pockmarked face came out of it, supported by two beautiful women with heavy makeup. He was visibly drunk, his face flushed, and he was talking nonsense, staggering, and falling to the ground. The two girls put him in arms and dragged him into a carriage. The carriage disappeared around a corner of the street.

They looked at each other dumbfounded, and their faces were churning with surprise. The four of them said in unison:

"King Pock!"

Who is the king of pockmarks? He is the first poor person in Stone Village. He was so poor that all he had left was a pair of torn and sloppy shorts, with a hundred and eight holes in them, and he didn't know how many fleas visited him every day. He lived on the handouts of others, and often snatched the cold vegetable scraps in the broken bowl with the dogs and cats, and even the poorest beggar in the world felt much happier when he saw him.

Amu said: "He has disappeared in Stone Village for a month, and he can't imagine that he will be free here, and he will still have a beautiful Xiangche." ”

The iron bucket said: "It seems that there is really a pie falling from the sky, otherwise how could he become rich overnight." ”

The big head said, "Maybe it's not him." ”

"I know him even after he has been skinned!" said the iron bucket affirmatively, "who in the world has so many pockmarks from him?"

The big head said: "Maybe it's his twin brother." ”

Tao Xiaozhi said: "Maybe a rich woman has taken a fancy to him." ”

"I know. Amu said, "That rich woman must be Zhu Bajie's sister!"

"Haha"

The ring of the martial arts is a square platform, about four feet above the ground. The four corners of the platform are inserted with a 12-foot-high wooden pillar, on which a red pennant is hung, and the word "Wu" is written on the flag, and the font is vigorous and powerful, as if to show the public the profundity of martial arts. To the left of the ring is a gazebo, which is reserved for VIPs. There is a row of sandalwood chairs lined up in the pavilion, the chairs are full of big people from all over the country, only the middle chair is empty, and this chair is larger than the others, the armrests and legs of the chair are carved with insects, fish, animals, colorful flowers and plants, and the back of the chair is carved with a mighty tiger. The craftsmanship of the chair is exquisite, indicating that the identity of the owner of the chair must be noble and illustrious. Because the chair is empty, the martial arts path has not yet begun. Although the game has not yet begun, the bustling crowd has already exhausted the water surrounding the ring one after another, and there is no place for even an ant.

Tao Xiaozhi settled the horses and tried to get in, but no matter how good their physical fitness was, the enthusiasm of the crowd could not be extinguished, and they were quickly squeezed out, and they were sweaty.

"It seems that it is not going to work. The bucket wiped the beads of sweat and said, "Let's think of other ways." ”

Amu said: "Your water tank is so big, you can bounce off a bunch of people at will." ”

The iron bucket said: "Your fart is so loud, you can blow up a bunch of people at will." ”

Amu said: "Your bad breath is okay, why don't you blow them all out in one go." ”

The iron bucket said: "Your fox smell is okay, why don't you kill them all with one arm." ”

Tao Xiaozhi sighed and said, "Okay, okay, don't say something that hurts others and is not good for yourself, you two are born enemies." ”

The big head said: "Don't make any noise, let's go there and see." ”

There was the roof of a large house, and there were some small stone carvings of animals on the roof.

"Do you think I can do it?" said the iron bucket confusedly.

Before the competition began, the organizers called for dragon and lion dances in the ring to create an atmosphere.

At this time, a group of people surrounded a middle-aged man in Tsing Yi and flowed towards the pavilion. The man was six feet tall, with a dense beard that stood like a needle, and he wore a black crown on his head, which stood tall so that he could tell at a glance that there was a figure. Before he had entered the gazebo, the people in the chairs had already gotten up and bowed. He was polite and humble, bowed to the crowd, and sat down in the chair in the middle.

So the drums sounded in unison, the cannon battle was noisy, and the host announced the start of the game loudly.

Datou said: "That person is probably a guy named Duan Ming, it is said that he is still a general or something." ”

Iron Bucket said: "It doesn't matter what kind of bird he is, I only know about today's game, the 'Thunderbolt God' Lei Gang will play, he is my idol." ”

Amu said: "Don't be too complacent, be careful to collapse people's roofs!"

Amu's worries are not unreasonable, with the size and weight of the iron bucket, it is not difficult to crush a house, at least under the weight of the iron bucket, the tiles are broken several times, and the wooden bars under the tiles "creak" sound.

Tao Xiaozhi said: "Just pay attention to one point, let the family find it on the roof, it's no wonder that we don't get killed." ”

"Bell, bell, bell" three gongs, the contestant on the field. The first one to take the stage was a big man, and some of the audience knew that it was Lei Gang, so they shouted. The second person to take the stage was a grim-looking, tall and thin man, and many people applauded.

The "Bell Bell" contest begins.

"Look, look, what a fierce tiger fist, it's like a thunderbolt!" The iron bucket patted Tao Xiaozhi's shoulder, but the tiles under him shattered a large piece.

"That thin ghost's trick is really yin, and he actually plotted against the 'Thunderbolt God'!"

"My bones are crushed!" Amu shouted.

"Oh, I'm sorry. The iron bucket put down the hand on Amu's shoulder, "I'm so excited." ”

The sound of the tiles being crushed was heard again.

"Wow, this move is Lei Gang's 'Tiger and Tiger Might', and the momentum is really extraordinary!" the iron bucket shouted excitedly.

More tiles were crushed, and the sticks of wood "crackled" and broke. The three of them straightened their faces and glared angrily, and the excitement of the iron bucket only subsided a little.

Zhang San boasted that he was the most boring person in the world, because he was bored, so he simply let his head be hairless. Others also believe that "sighing" is the most indispensable emotion in his life. Boring people do boring things, and the most boring people certainly do the most boring things. The most boring thing about him is how many hairs his boring dog has. Therefore, the way of martial arts means a lot to him, and it is one of his few interesting things. Before the game started, he counted how small the audience was. When the firecrackers were set off, he counted how many they rang out. Right now, he's counting how many moves Lei Gang has made.

"Two hundred ninety-six two hundred ninety-eight"

When he counted to two hundred and ninety-nine, Lei Gang used his killer trick "Tiger Descending the Mountain". If this trick is not successful, it will consume eighty percent of his vitality, and he will definitely lose. Therefore, this move is determined to succeed and must not fail.

There was a loud "rumbling", but it was not emitted from the thunder platform. The audience looked around and saw that a house outside Wang Yuanyuan had collapsed, and the billowing dust spread everywhere. Everyone wonders why a good house collapsed.

The person who presided over the martial arts said to the martial artists:

"Hit, dumbfounded?"

For outsiders, the stone village is called the stone village, because there is a village in the village, and the owner of the village is a very famous swordsman, sought after by heroes and heroes from all walks of life, so the more prestigious elders in the village changed the stone village to the stone village. That village is called Stone Villa, so it is not surprising that there is a Stone Villa in the Stone Lodge.

The owner of Stone Mountain Lodge is wandering in the garden at the moment, thinking about the relationship between the sword and the flower.

The sword is rigid, the flower is soft, the sword is like a man, the flower is like a woman, the swordsman likes it, but the flower girl doesn't like the sword, the sword loves to hurt the flower, the flower falls, and the swordsman is sad

"Master, master" The housekeeper interrupted Song Li's thoughts.

Song Li said with a hint of gloom on his face:

"What's the matter?"

"A messenger sent a letter. ”

"What about the messenger?"

"Gone. ”

Song Li waved in a dashing manner, and the housekeeper left.

Song Lisi tore open the letter in an orderly manner.

The writer used the art of calligraphy in a wild cursive manner, and wanted to express a haughty mood and an attitude of contempt for the reader. The words are sharp, like a dagger, stabbing the reader fiercely. The tone was vicious, like an arrow to the heart of the believer.

Song Li's face was filled with nonchalance, then surprised, and then angry, and this anger was finally vented on the letter, which turned into fragments and fell over the garden in pieces.

Wang Yuanwai's family Ding Li Si, who is a person who is keen on martial arts, has been familiar with a lot of martial arts secrets since he was a child, and has reached the point of going crazy, the theory is one set after another, but his kung fu may not even be able to beat an ant. The martial arts path was carried out noisily nearby, and the excited shouts of the audience drilled into his heart like a vertebrae. But he still didn't dare to go, because he didn't want to give up his current job, which paid well.

At that time, he was thinking bitterly about the Martial Warrior Dao, when suddenly a loud noise came from the guest room in the east, and his thoughts passed from the "Martial Warrior Dao" to the "Earthquake". Although he was afraid of death, he rushed over without hesitation.

Four dusty men rushed out, like the Terracotta Warriors of Qin Shi Huang. One of the first was like a chimpanzee, the second was like a wine jar, the third was grinning with a strange expression, and the last one was so big that the ground shook when he walked. Li Si was so frightened that his face was bloodless, he raised his head and fell back, screaming with all his might:

"Someone, catch a thief!"

The soldiers outside the king gathered like lightning, but by the time they arrived, the four of them had long since lost sight.

"I didn't expect that your martial arts skills have not improved, and your ability to escape has improved a lot. Amu sarcastically said with the iron bucket.

"It's like his fat is skyrocketing day by day." ”

Amu said: "You can't blame him, it's his mother, who told her to feed him every day like a pig." ”

The iron bucket was silent, and his heart felt as uncomfortable as if he had nothing to eat.

They cleaned up the dust on their bodies, found their horses, and prepared to go back to Stone Village.

They came to a lively street and their stomachs "rumbled", and of course, the bellies of the iron buckets "rumbled", like thunder. So he was the first to break the silence and raise his hand to speak:

"It's time to soothe our stomachs. I heard that there is a 'Wanli Xiang' pancake shop nearby, and the pancakes there are crispy and delicious, and you can't get tired of eating them. ”

Amu wanted to sarcastically turn over the iron bucket, but his stomach was troubled, and the word "baked cake" had sealed his mouth, so he had to nod his head again and again in agreement.

Tao Xiaozhi asked them to buy it, take care of the horses by themselves, and told them not to kill his share. The three of them agreed and left.

Not long after they left, there was a commotion on the street corner, and a frustrated voice came out:

"The general passed by, and the pedestrians dodged. ”

Immediately a group of people turned out, the queue was divided into two rows, and in front of them were a dozen black-clothed ironclad soldiers, with a sword obliquely stuck in their waists, their hands tightly gripping the hilt of the sword, and a look of vigilance. They were followed by the flag-bearers, who looked like they had been sleepless all night, listless and yawning, but they held their flagpoles straight, and the cyan flag was unfurled. The bannermen were followed by the cavalry, and they looked arrogant, as if they had money on their faces, for fear that others would not see them, and they would face the pedestrians by the roadside. In the middle of the procession was a carriage, decorated with extraornate ornamentation to show off the noble status of its owner. Behind the carriage were soldiers and honor guards. For ordinary officials, the honor guard walked in front, but this honor guard lined up in a low-key manner, playing a dull gong and blowing a tasteless na.

"The general passes by, and the pedestrians dodge!"

The singer shouted.

Tao Xiaozhi stood still in the middle of the street, his feet as if they were nailed. He stared up at the flag. There were many flags, each with a pattern, some embroidered with tigers, some embroidered with eagles, some embroidered with Xuanwu, and some embroidered with the word "paragraph", but he only stared at one flag with concentration. The flag had the image of a beast with a strange appearance: a head like a dragon but only one horn, a body like a deer with golden armor, and a horse's hooves and tail with a body full of fire.

Several guards drew their swords and pointed at Tao Xiaozhi. One of them said angrily:

"Pedestrians dodge, are you deaf?"

Tao Xiaozhi took his eyes off the banner and said to the guards:

"I heard it, but I'm not a pedestrian, I've been standing here. ”

The guard said furiously, "Bold maniac, I must chop you into meat sauce!"

As he spoke, he swung his sword and stabbed Tao Xiaozhi's chest, and several other guards struck from the left and right, and the sword slashed over.

"It's horrible. Qin Churu's face also changed, and he said, "There is such a lake in the world. ”

Xiao Difeng said: "Maybe there are more mysteries to be discovered." ”

The heavy sound of the bell came from afar, like the howl of an evil spirit.

The bell reverberates in the mountain stream, like the groaning of evil spirits.

"Oh no," Qin Churu said, "Isn't this a wake-up call for Stone Village?"

Xiao Difeng said: "The alarm bell can only be sounded when the situation is urgent, something must have happened in the village, we have to go back quickly!"
