Chapter 18 Between the Rivers and Lakes

The Chixue River has two sources, one from the east and the other from the west. After the meeting, the water is full and overflowing, and it flows straight down over the mountains and rocks, and it is a stack of waterfalls. And it is from a stack of waterfalls that the Chixue River is called the Chixue River. The plank road of a stack of waterfalls is still made of ironwood, and it passes crookedly behind the curtain of the waterfall. A little farther away is the Baizhang Cliff, which is a stone road carved by the beast demon driven by Xuanwuji. It's just that the mountain rock is hard, and it is not easy to excavate, and even gave up halfway, and was built by Red Snow City with iron and wood. It's just that Chixue City doesn't know what to think, since the beginning of Baizhang Cliff, it has only used thick wooden planks to insert into the mountain wall, up and down, like a staircase. The planks are spaced wide apart, and they can only be jumped in lengths, and there are no railings around them. Therefore, this section of the plank road is called the Dead Man's Ladder, and eight out of ten people who enter and exit the plank road lose their lives here.

At this time, behind a stack of waterfall water curtains, three or four people from the rivers and lakes had already gathered. They stood against the railing with their hands or against the wall, as if waiting for something. Above their heads, in the crevices of the rocks, Ye Chengcheng twisted his body and watched, really like a snake. "He's coming!" said Ling Shi on the far left. "So fast?" The interface is Wu Jian, who is watching the waterfall by the railing. Wu Fan next to him said: "You shouldn't expect the group of wastes on the Ladder of the Dead to kill him!" On the ladder of the dead in the distance, Yang Xibao flew up, grabbed the wooden plank at the height in mid-air, and with a swing of his strength, he landed directly on the wooden path in the distance. Ji Feilong behind him was obviously smarter than him, with both hands, he flew with the wind, swimming in the water like a fish, and chased after him. As soon as Yang Xibaofu fell, the spear swept backwards. Ji Feilong didn't expect this trick, he was at a loss, his chic appearance was no longer there, and there was no place around him to settle down. He just danced and fell straight down.

"There's a cliff down there, and there's a lot of strange rocks. Fall down like this......" Wu Jian behind the waterfall shook his head, pretending to be surprised. "Of course, my hands and feet are broken, my brains are bursting, and my bones are broken!" someone answered coldly. "Yang Xibao?" Shui Nanqin, who had not spoken, stood up straight and clenched the fishtooth monster knife in his hand. "It's Yang!" Yang Xibao strode over, looked at it a few times, and said strangely: "There are actually Shui people? It's really rare!" "How do you know?" Shui Nanqin was shocked, this was his biggest secret. Yang Xibao said: "It's simple! Although you covered the fins on your arms, you forgot what you heard!"

Wu Fan, Wu Jian, and Ling Shi looked at Shui Nanqin at the same time. Sure enough, on closer inspection, there were two small things growing behind his ears. Although it is not easy to detect, there is no doubt that it is a fish fin! Ling Shi "swooped" and pulled out a pair of water splitting thorns and aimed them at Shui Nanqin: "It turns out that you are a water demon!" "Then what are you?" Wu Fan's tone was neither salty nor light, but it made people listen to the fire. Wu Jian said on the side: "People who have heard about the water tribe will have their surname 'water'. Does Brother Ling think the rumors are true?" Ling Shi's face changed: "What do you mean by this?" Wu Fan said: "Don't you understand? Then Brother Ling might as well take off the hat you wear on your head even when you sleep, and everyone will understand!" Ling Shi was stunned when he heard this, and immediately withdrew the water splitting thorn, and said coldly: "Since you can't believe me Ling, I'll go!"

"Wait!" this time it was Yang Xibao who spoke. With his words, the people on the plank road suddenly stopped their movements, as if time stood still. All of a sudden, only the sound of breathing and heartbeat remained in the small space behind the waterfall, and the silence was terrifying. However, the silence lasted only for a moment, and the roar of the waterfall rang out to your ears. Wu Fan and Wu Jian stabbed their swords together, pierced their eyebrows, swept their legs, and attacked Yang Xibao. The water-splitting spur of the stone swirled endlessly in his hand like a windmill, but it unexpectedly stabbed at Shui Nanqin. Shui Nanqin snorted: "I really believe you wrong!" The strange knife swung and fought with Ling Shi.

Over there, Wu Fan and Wu Jian's double swords flew over, and six swords stabbed out in a row, all of which were easily blocked by Yang Xibao wielding his spear. The two brothers glanced at each other and took two steps back. Wu Fan drew the sword and constantly changed the sword style, pointing at Yang Xibao. Wu Jian drooped the tip of his sword, and always followed behind Wu Fan, his eyes were sharp. Yang Xibao was surprised: "Could it be 'deleting the complicated and simplifying'?" Wu Fan said: "That's right! It is exactly 'deleting the complicated and simplifying the thirty-three swords'!" Yang Xibao smiled: "Jiyun 'deleting the complicated'." Why 'Thirty-three Swords'?" Wu Jian said: "There was no need for so many ......" Before he finished speaking, he was glared back by Wu Fan: "Don't talk nonsense! The surname Yang, look at the sword!" As he spoke, he held six sword flowers in his hand and covered Yang Xibao's whole body. Wu Jian closed his mouth, and with a draw of the long sword, it pierced out of Wu Fan's sword flower and stabbed Yang Xibao's throat.

Wu Fanjian, as his name suggests, has many tricks and tricks, which confuse people's ears and eyes. Wu Jian was always behind him, waiting for an opportunity to draw his sword, fierce and ruthless, concise and clear. The two of them are complex and simple, virtual and real. It is also a brother's heart, echoing exquisitely. It made Yang Xibao busy and tired of coping for a while.

On the other side, although the double thorns of the stone dance gorgeously, the tricks are strange. But the point stops, flashy and substantial. Although Shui Nanqin felt strange, he didn't dare to take it lightly. Suddenly, he saw a flaw in Ling Shi's change of moves, and the strange knife went straight in and smashed on Ling Shi's left shoulder. Ling Shi snorted in pain, took a few steps back, looked at the strange knife held high by Shui Nanqin, and threw the double thorns on the ground as if he was angry, raised his head and looked straight at Shui Nanqin. In that look, there seemed to be water waves flowing. Shui Nanqin's heart moved somehow, and the right hand holding the knife trembled slightly. He gritted his teeth several times and was about to cut it off, but his right hand refused to obey the call and never fell.

"Look at them. "Because this is already the hinterland of the Chixue Mountains, it is inaccessible. Broken gold and broken armor have no scruples, hanging in the air, watching the fight of a stack of waterfalls. The curtain of water that flowed down had no effect on the two of them. Shattered Armor smiled, "Then help them." With a flick of his fingers, a strong wind penetrated the water curtain and hit the hat of the stone. Before Ling Shi could exclaim, his hat fell, revealing his long black and shiny hair and the pair of ears that were unique to the water tribe under the long hair. Unlike Shui Nanqin, Ling Shi's ears are in the shape of fish fins, which is the symbol of the Shui woman. When Ling Shi hurriedly picked up the hat, there was another soft "boom", which tore the clothes on her back, revealing bluish skin and a cross-shaped scar.

With a "bang", the Shuinan Qin Monster Knife fell to the ground. He hurriedly pounced, pushed away the hand that was covering his clothes, stroked the scar, and his voice trembled a little: "You...... Are you Lan'er?" Ling Shi stiffened, turned his head away, and ignored him. Shui Nanqin pulled her body over and looked at her face carefully: "It's really you......! Weren't you caught by the waves? How did you get here? How did you escape?" Ling Shi bit his lip until he bit the blood, and then said, "What do you say!" Shui Nanqin was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It's okay! As long as you're okay, everything is fine!" Seeing his excited appearance, Ling Shi stayed for a moment, threw himself into his arms, and began to cry.

"It turned out to be Ling Lan!" Broken Jin sighed, "Since that master was trapped by the city lord, the water tribe has changed frequently. A hundred years ago, the Lang clan defeated the ruling Ling clan, the Ling clan suffered heavy casualties, the first-class guard Shui Nanyu disappeared, and the princess Ling Lan was taken captive. Who knew it would end up here! I have to think of the city lord's report. Broken Jia said: "It's been a hundred years in a flash." These two have been reunited after a long absence, and they are in love with each other, but I am afraid that they are about to leave. It saved a lot of trouble. ”

Sure enough, Ling Lan cried in Shui Nan Yan's arms for a while, raised his head and said, "Are you still going to meddle in this matter?" Shui Nan Yan looked back at Yang Xibao, who was inextricably killed, shook his head and said, "No matter! Nothing! Let's go!" The two walked hand in hand to the railing, smiled at each other, and jumped to their feet. One turned over in mid-air, and actually went down the water and plunged into the Chixue River.

Over there, Wu Fan and Wu Jian saw Shui Nanqin and Ling Shi suddenly jumping off the cliff, and their hands were slow, and Yang Xibao made a move to "pick up the lamp and look at the sword", and one by one, the sword in the hands of the two was swinged. Yang Xibao was even more unscrupulous, taking advantage of the empty door of the two of them, he recruited a "rushing battle and slashing general", and the spear went straight into Wu Jian's chest, and he took advantage of the situation to rush four or five steps in a row before stopping. Seeing that he had killed his younger brother, Wu Fan roared angrily and stabbed his long sword at Yang Xibao. Seeing the sword and the back of the heart, a figure suddenly fell from the sky, and the iron gun in his hand was inserted into Wu Fan's back heart, it was Ye Gong who had been hidden for a long time. Wu Fan looked angrily at Yang Xibao, who was close at hand, and was finally unwilling to fall.

Yang Xibao and Ye Gong threw the bodies of the Wu brothers down the waterfall. Ye Gongdao: "Okay." After passing a staircase, you will reach Blazing Snow City. From there, it's much easier. Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly heard a person say coldly: "If you want to leave, is it so easy?" The two looked back and couldn't help but be shocked. The person who spoke was actually Ji Feilong, who had just fallen off the cliff in the Dead Man's Ladder! But seeing that his face was gloomy, there was no trace of injury. Seeing the two turn around, Ji Feilong smiled fiercely, his body swelled up, revealing sharp teeth and claws. "It's not good! It's a beast demon!Old Six, let's go!" Yang Xibao hurriedly pulled Ye Gong and rushed towards the ladder.

"It's broken!" In the air, Broken Gold and Broken Armor glanced at each other and hurriedly chased after them.

One step of the ladder is on the opposite side of the ladder of the dead, it is a mountain stone ladder carved out by the beast demon driven by Xuan Wuji on the cliff, straight up and down, and the width is only for one person to walk. Hence the name step ladder. At this time, there was a person wearing a bamboo hat squatting on the stairs, his face could not be seen clearly, and he stared coldly at Yang and Ye who were rushing over. Above him, under the cover of white clouds, broken gold and broken armor stood in the air, staring with concern at the front of the stairs.

"Third brother, there are people!" Ye Cheng ran away, and when he looked up and saw the person on the top of the mountain, he exclaimed. Yang Xibao stopped and said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid it's not human!" Turning around as he spoke, Ji Feilong, who had already appeared as a dragon, stood not far behind the two of them. Ye Gong and Yang Xibao stood with their backs to each other, and as soon as they stood still, they heard a clear whistle, like a crane singing for nine days. The man at the top of the hill jumped straight down. Ye Gong waved his hands, and two golden rays shot towards the man. The man spread his wings like a white crane with one hand, and opened Jin Mengge and landed on the ground.

"It's He Wusha!" In the air, Broken Armor exclaimed. Broken Gold snorted: "Twelve beast demons against twelve dragons, I don't know who has the big chance of winning?" "Brother, are you kidding," Broken Jia said, "It's not a level at all, how can it be compared?" "I forgot," Broken Gold said, "Yang Xibao said that Wu Qiuxue didn't understand his rivers and lakes. I want to see how he understands the rivers and lakes of Ji Lao Wu and He Lao Liu!"

While the two were talking, Ji Feilong below had already laughed fiercely, waved his left hand violently, and hit Yang Xibao with three strong qi. He Wusha also waved his hands, and two whirlwinds swept towards Ye Gong. "Let's go!" Yang and Ye shouted in unison and dodged. But they were still swept away by Yu Jin, and they both fell to the ground. Fortunately, this place is very wide, and there is no risk of falling off the cliff. Ye Gong got up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, pulled out the golden snake crossbow, pointed it to the sky, and buckled it. The golden arrow feathers continued to shoot out, forming a golden snake in mid-air, shaking its head and tail and pounced on He Wusha. Yang Xibao stuck the spear on the ground, pinched out the magic trick with both hands, and summoned the double spear behind his back. The gun came as he pleased, stabbing at Ji Feilong.

"Interesting," Broken Jin said, "Sure enough, it's a dragon slayer, different from the method of Hehu!" "Broken Jia was a little worried: "It's not a way to fight like this, and it's not good to directly do it with Ji Lao Wu and He Lao Liu, what should I do?" Someone behind him laughed and said, "Don't worry!" "Yu Lao Ba?" Broken Jin turned around, but saw a middle-aged man with a white face flying here, it was Yu Zaiyuan, the eighth of the twelve beast demons. Yu Zaiyuan flew quickly, and said with a smile: "You two don't have to worry. The fifth brother and the sixth brother just had itchy hands for a while, and they thought they would succeed in one fell swoop. "What will work?" "You're not authentic like that. Yu Zaiyuan said a few steps forward, looked at it for a while, and said: "If you want to say that Sun Xiang is ruthless enough, he doesn't practice for a while, but he uses his disciples as an experiment." Broken gold sneered: "There is no left and right technique, but it depends on how it is used." An knows that no one will be blessed by misfortune!" Yu Zaiyuan tilted his head and thought about it, and said, "It's the same!"

Before taking a step up the ladder, I don't know whether intentionally or not, Ji Feilong and He Wusha gradually forced Yang Xibao and Ye Gong to the side of the ladder. Yang Xibao fought with them for a long time, and he already understood a little, and immediately shouted: "Go!" put away his two guns, and slammed the ground with a tiger's head and golden mace. There was a "boom", and smoke and dust were everywhere. Yang Xibao and Ye Gong rose from the ground, a little stone step in mid-air, and patted the mountain wall with their hands, and they had reached the top of the cliff. Ye Gong was still not at ease, took out the golden snake crossbow, and released a few golden mangs towards the bottom of the cliff. In the smoke and dust, He Wusha danced with his sleeves and swept away the golden mang. Ji Feilong grabbed Yang Xibao's spear and shouted: "Go!" out of his hand and threw it at the two of them. Yang Xibao put his body to the side, caught it with his hand, and said, "Thank you!" and Ye Gong flashed into the woods, and he disappeared in a moment.

"What?" When the smoke and dust cleared, Yu Zaiyuan slowly landed on the ground and asked the two with a smile. He Wusha said: "It's just that it can hurt people, and it has not yet reached the unity of man and weapon, let alone flying across the nine days." Ji Feilong said: "Not bad." As soon as they conceal their success and do not reveal it, it is obvious that they do not know that they have miscultivated. It can only be touched under certain circumstances, but it can go berserk and be easily controlled. Yu Zaiyuan said: "Sun Xiang's ambition is not small. Tricking his disciples into practicing this technique not only accumulates experience for him to practice in the future, but also cultivates a large number of killing machines that can explode at any time. If anyone competes with the fine willows in the future, it will be more auspicious and less auspicious!" He Wusha said: "It's a pity that Song Xinyan died, Luohuqiu fled, and the dragon head came out." As far as I can see, the tiger's head also sees the clues. Sun Xiang wants to succeed with one skill, so easy?"
