As if he had been asleep for a thousand years, the bloody eyes in Chu Xuanming's hands opened so slowly.

"Hee-hee-haha-ha-" He smirked, laughed, laughed maniacally.

The laughter shook the birds in the woods and fluttered.

He no longer resents! Yes, just a desire to kill.

The black air around him was churning, and the black was much richer than the night. The blood vessels on the right side of his body rose roughly, like a creeper, climbing up his right leg, right arm, and right face, and the pipe network was staggered, extremely hideous.

He raised his right hand, and the bloody eye in his hand was about to open completely.

Maybe in another moment, it will be a new self.

Suddenly, a string of Buddhist beads flew from nowhere, and it hung on his right hand impartially. The remaining strength of the Buddha beads was not dissipated, and one flipped, wrapping the right hand into a knot.

In an instant, the black qi around Chu Xuanming's body dissipated, the raised veins on his body gradually recovered, and the bloody eyes in his hands slowly closed, and finally turned back into a scar.

Chu Xuanming leaned down, clasped his hands on his knees, and gasped for breath, just now it was just a short moment, almost all his energy was consumed, and he almost lost himself again.

Holding the Buddha beads in his hand, he felt cool and depressed.

Looking at the Buddha beads through the moonlight, it looks like the string of the master of cause and effect, could it be that the master of cause and effect saved himself?

Thinking back to just now, I was supposed to keep my mind, but I messed up my mind, if this is the case again, who will be myself next time?

Chu Xuanming returned to bed, his mood was chaotic, many things were spinning in his mind one by one, and unconsciously, he fell asleep this time.

In the early morning of the next day, Chu Xuanming was woken up by Ishihara early, the two tied grass and tied ropes, cut wood and built rafts, and after a busy half a day, a simple bamboo raft floated on a small stream half a mile away from the courtyard.

The two were about to leave, and the master of cause and effect and the little master of seed cause came to say goodbye.

At the time of parting, Chu Xuanming saw that the Buddha beads on the chest of the master of cause and effect were really gone, and he was grateful in his heart, but he was ashamed that he was a "monster", and it was difficult to say thank you.

"Master, is this something you've lost?"

The Master of Cause and Effect shook his eyes and said, "Ah, ah, summer, sand, well, ha." Little donor, since this thing is in your hand, it is given to you!haha-"

Chu Xuanming was confused when he heard it, but when the master of cause and effect finished speaking, there was a burst of coolness from the rosary wrapped around his palm, and he only felt that he was extremely comfortable.

Chu Xuanming was stunned, but Ishihara said loudly: "What kind of little toad and big toad, hey, little master, the three pheasants we caught together last night, did you bring them after roasting?"

"Naturally," the little monk took out a bag of roast chicken wrapped in leaves from his bosom, and tore off a leg from the top before handing it to Ishihara, and continued, "But I have almost eaten it." ”

"What?!, my mother, why is there only one? Aren't you trying to kill me!" Ishihara dared to hurriedly open the bag, only to see that the chicken wings and chicken legs were all gone, and exclaimed: "I also recognize a roast chicken! Legend has it that there are people who chop off their hands and feet to make adult chickens, you give me a chicken biao, you are so young, why are you so insincere!"

"Only this is just what you caught, and it was baked by me, it's already good to leave so much for you, don't eat steamed buns for nothing and be too dark!" the little monk raised his fist and said angrily.

Ishihara didn't answer him, played it twice, and said bitterly: "Fortunately, the chicken ass hasn't been poisoned yet, so you still have a little conscience!"

Chu Xuanming and the Master of Cause and Effect could only smile helplessly when they saw the two of them fighting for a roast chicken.

Chu and Shi used homemade wood pulp to slide off the shore and flow down the river, and they had the experience of operating a boat when they were in Silkworm Head Village, and it was easy to drive a raft.

The two of them went immediately, and the little monk looked at the backs of them, turned to the monk of cause and effect, and asked;

"Why don't you want to teach me and Chu Xuanming Taoism?"

The causal monk changed his smiling face and replied solemnly: "You, I can't teach, but he, I don't dare to teach, I hope they can get the teacher of the Tao and benefit the world, otherwise, alas, don't say it." ”

"Yes, yes, yes, the master has a point!"

The causal monk wondered: I said so "profoundly", even I don't understand it, this melon baby would slap me on the back so easily?

Suddenly woke up from a dream and shouted, "Is the kid trying to change the subject?!"

"Why, how can there be...", he couldn't help but retreat as he spoke, and when he took a few steps back, he suddenly turned around and ran.

"Stop, stinky boy, you really ate the two roast pheasants we stole away, didn't you?"

The master of cause and effect chased after the hem of his robe, and muttered to himself while chasing: "Stinky boy, not big, the amount of food is not small!"

The river is not in a hurry or slow, the bamboo raft moves forward slowly, Chu and Shi walked for nearly a day and a night, the small river flows into a big river, the river surface widens suddenly, the woods retreat on both sides, the green mountains and green trees on both sides of the river, the blue sky and clear water in the distance, the river and the sky are one color, the scenery is beautiful.

At this time, it was nearly noon, and Ishihara was quietly looking at the water, looking relaxed, and the simple oars in his hand were beating the bamboo raft rhythmically. Chu Xuanming looked up at the sky, silently distracted, suddenly remembered something, and asked Ishihara:

"Why do we want to go east along the river, I want to go to Wuji Sect to deliver a letter, it should be to the north, although the letter to be sent is not in a hurry, it should not go out of these many forks in the road. ”

"I don't know if I wake up in the morning and stare at me like I'm going to get something out of going east. ”

"Oh, didn't you make the decision to go east along the river last night?"

"Last night?" Ishihara patted his head, "yes, I said it last night, it seems that I was confused." ”

"Hey, let's not talk about that, Xuan Ming, do you remember the legend of Qingshui's Lingbo Water Monster?"

"Don't talk nonsense, as the saying goes, 'Walk alone on a moonlit night, don't say ghosts and gods', we don't know what river it flows into now, it's not what Rausch Ziqing River is. ”

"I really look like the Qingshui River. ”

"How do you know..."Chu Xuanming wanted to say how do you know, but he didn't finish just four words.

Because at this time, a huge wave with a height of twenty zhang suddenly surged on the calm river, the wave head was high and fast, Chu Xuanming didn't have time to be surprised, the monstrous wave had already slapped on him, and the strength instantly swept him into the river, and the simple raft was also torn apart.

Rao is Chu Xuanming has a good water nature, and he was also slapped by the waves of the river more than two feet deep, and a mouthful of dirty water choked into his mouth, he quickly held back his cough, held his breath, and quickly went upstream.

In the water, Chu Xuanming looked at the river, the sun shone on the river like a bright aurora, shining back and forth, he struggled to swim, and the light reflected on the water surface was getting closer and closer.

As he was about to surface, he heard a muffled sound of "coo-dong" coming from under the water, and when he looked down, a series of huge white bubbles rose one after another from under his feet, and below the string of bubbles, in the deep water, a huge terrifying shadow slowly swam by. After that, a powerful undercurrent struck, and he swirled in the water a few times, and in an instant, he was taken into the depths of the river.

When Chu Xuanming stabilized his body again, he was already swept underwater by the current again, and this time, the distance from the river was much farther.

Could it be that that terrifying shadow just now was the Limbo Water Monster? How could there be such a coincidence? Chu Xuanming didn't have time to think about it, and then threw off his arms and swam towards the surface of the water again.

At this time, the water is no longer as calm as before, and the fish swimming in the water, regardless of size, are mixed together, suddenly piled up, suddenly scattered, and the algae, dead branches and other debris are also dancing together. Chu Xuanming's can no longer see the situation in Qingshui.

Suddenly, the swimming fish boiled for a while, and many swimming fish and dead branches passed through the body. In the chaos, Chu Xuanming vaguely saw a huge shadow rushing towards him, and in horror, he grabbed a long bamboo tube of a scattered bamboo raft pushed by the current, and took advantage of the strength of the bamboo tube to avoid the shadow in danger.

The shadow passed by, revealing a huge figure covered in scales, as large as if it were about to block the entire river.

The strong undercurrent brought up by the scaly monster's swimming swept up to Chu Xuanming again, and Chu Xuanming's breath in his chest was about to run out at this time, knowing that if he was swept away again, he would not have a chance to swim out of the water again. In the fluttering, the moment he rubbed the scale armor under his feet, he grabbed the point of borrowing, and stabbed the bamboo tube downward, just inserting it into the gap between the scale armor, and the huge scales trembled slightly, but it just stuck the bamboo tube more firmly.

The thorn just now completely used up Chu Xuanming's breath, fortunately, the bamboo tube with a thick arm was squeezed by the scale armor, cracking a thin slit, and in the gap, the air turned into bubbles, bubbling out, Chu Xuanming saw this, and hugged the bamboo tube is a burst of greedy sucking.

The air entrance, the senses gradually recovered, but I found that in just a few breaths, I had been taken by the scale monster under the water.

The light from the surface of the river became extremely dim, and when you looked underwater, it looked like an endless black abyss.

Diving so deep underwater, maybe with a few breaths of air left in the bamboo tube, he might be able to swim to the surface, but Chu Xuanming pulled the bamboo tube hard, but he didn't even pull out an inch.

He smoked again, but the bamboo tube was still stuck so firmly, and he pumped again...

"Come out, come out..."

Chu Xuanming pulled out helplessly, and he didn't know how many times he had tried.

It's as if the next time is the hope of life, and every time, it brings the despair of dying.

"It turned out that I was going to suffocate to death eventually. ”

"Bang bang..."

A muffled sound like a knock came to the ears through the water, the sound was not loud, but it could be heard clearly in this noisy underwater world, and as the scaly monster swam, it was closer and closer to the source of the sound.

Chu Xuanming was about to give up, but at the moment when the scale monster was close to the source of the knocking sound, he was shocked!

In a blur, Chu Xuanming saw clearly that it was Ishihara who was holding the "oar" in one hand and tapping the bamboo tube in the other hand.

The moment the huge strange fish approached Ishihara, it suddenly opened its mouth, swallowed it forward, and swallowed the fat figure into its mouth.

"Ahh

Chu Xuanming opened his mouth wide to scream, but the river water poured into his mouth, and he could only make a "mum" sound.

"Ishihara was eaten!"

Chu Xuanming's mind flashed, and in an instant, he got out of anger, removed his hand covering the gap in the bamboo tube, sucked the air inside with a few mouthfuls, and climbed the scales under his feet and crawled towards the mouth of the strange fish.

He wanted to climb into the mouth of the strange fish, and maybe, he could drag Ishihara out, even if he died. Or maybe they will die together, so what does it matter.

It's just that all this is in vain, the strange fish scale armor is covered with a layer of slippery liquid, Chu Xuanming climbed a few times, and he couldn't catch it anymore.

The water was surging, Chu Xuanming broke away from the strange fish, and fell into the boundless black abyss with the current.

Looking at the faint light of water flickering on the river in the distance, I felt lonely.

It seems that he is still going to die alone......
