On the surface of the sea, a sad dragon groan was heard far away. The ancient voice, through the waves, through the vast white mist, has become a low call by the time it reaches the shore.

In the gale, an old man turned his head and frowned, "Why did I hear a bad sound?" He listened attentively, but he didn't hear anything more, shook his head, and said: "In the past few days, I only feel that my eyelids are jumping, and there are obscure stars in the sky, I am afraid that there will be a disaster." In my opinion, forget about the dragon slaying conference. ”

An old woman next to her took a cane and said, "Are you serious, or are you joking? Now that everyone has been invited and everything is ready, you told me to forget it? Is the reason your eyelids? What is the value of your eyelids, which is worthy of our hundred-year cultivation plan?"

The old man smiled bitterly and said, "It's not my eyelids, all kinds of signs show that this is not a good omen." Although the real dragon is good, it is not something we can ...... with."

The old woman said, "What do you say? The true dragon has been imprisoned below the ruins, and it has remembered our appearance. If we don't kill it, one day it escapes, won't we face the endless pursuit of the dragons? If you and I do it, in case there is trouble in the future, how will we face the anger of the dragons? Holding a dragon slaying conference is the best way, and we have the benefits, even if we are in trouble, they can't catch up with us, don't you understand this truth?"

The old man was silent for a moment, and then said, "That's it. It's just that the agent you are looking for is a little unreliable. Can he really do this well? Don't take it cheaply, we will carry the black pot. ”

The old woman shouted, "Don't be ashamed. At a great age, he is also a god monarch, but he is afraid of a spirit junior calculating. Could it be that your cultivation has been cultivated to the dog? Not to mention that this child was personally chosen by me, and there will be no mistakes, even if it really happens, are you still afraid that he will escape from the palm of our hands?"

The old man was about to speak, when suddenly the sea rippled slightly, and a large, smooth fish emerged from the water, with fins like arms. Dragging a box, he said: "Two scattered monarchs, there is a new greeting post." ”

The old woman beckoned. The box opened, and a scroll flew out, and she glanced at it and said, "Eight more big islands are here today." Seventeen people from Nakajima. There is no need to mention the Sanren...... Oh, there's also a middle island outside of the Genkai, Qinjian Island?" she squinted her eyes and thought for a moment, then said, "Where is this? Is there such a big island in Weihai?"

The old man said, "Who knows? Maybe it's from the True Sea or the Quiet Sea." ”

The old woman threw the scroll and said, "What Qinjian Island, there are only two little real people here." Nothing worth noting, let's go and prepare. This time the Dragon Slaying Conference. It is destined to be an unprecedented event. ”

The two turned around and disappeared on the white sand bank at the same time.

The moon is in the middle of the sky. It's time of high tide.

The small coral island is mostly submerged by the sea, and only a few dozen zhang square of the bare sea surface is exposed, and there is only one coconut tree on the thin white sandbank. Under the trees, hundreds of monks were crowded.

The monks were men and women, old and young, dressed in different styles, some with large sleeves fluttering, like fairies, and some with short clothes and coarse cloth, like ordinary fishermen. There are even more bells and whistles like peacocks, with scallops on their heads and feathers in the west, fancy dresses, and so on.

Two monks leaned against the reef, and one of the round-faced monks looked around and said, "Overseas customs are really different, there are so many kinds of monks in just one trading market, and they are ten times more prosperous than ours. ”

As he was talking, someone behind him said, "New here?"

When the round-faced monk turned around, he saw a tall monk looking at him, pointing his finger and saying, "I see that you are new here, and you don't know how to queue up, and you are still blocking the road here." ”

The round-faced monk frowned, "Where is the team?"

The monk pointed a little and said, "See, in front are the monks of the big island, behind is the middle island, and in the back are the small islands and the scattered people." You're a loose person, and you're still standing on the island, aren't you breaking the rules? I'm a good talker, and I'll already beat you up when I meet someone else. ”

The round-faced monk's eyebrows were slightly raised, but the corners of his mouth were raised, as if he was smiling, and said, "So, I'm going forward? ”

The monk was stunned and said, "Nakajima?

The round-faced monk said, "Qinjian Island." ”

The monk laughed and said, "What kind of inexplicable little broken island? It's a rock that your family occupies, right? We don't call it an island less than a hundred years after it just surfaced from the water." ”

The round-faced monk looked up at the sky and said, "Well, don't you know?" I will call you to-day—" His sleeves suddenly bulged as if a gust of wind was blowing.

I heard someone shouting, "Senior Brother Bai." ”

The round-faced monk's expression slowed down, and when he turned around, the scholar behind him shook his head slightly, then snorted, and said, "You went out to read the yellow calendar today, right?" So saying, he walked slowly to the scholar's side, and after saying something, they walked together to the other side of the island, and stood with the scattered people.

The monk took a sip and said, "Fisherman, you don't even line up, and you don't see what kind of place this is." ”

On the other side of the island, the round-faced monk snorted coldly, "It's not as good as the northern country here." I can still lose my temper in the north, but here I am pretending to be a grandson. ”

The scholar smiled and said, "Seeing that you are so angry, aren't you eating fish these days?" I'll tell you that you can't eat the kind of fire-spitting fish under the volcanic rock, and if you eat it, you must dip it in vinegar......" Seeing that the round-faced monk's face turned a little dark, he coughed and said, "It's important to get down to business, don't be angry with irrelevant people." ”

The round-faced monk said, "I searched around for a long time, but I didn't find any trace. What basis do you have to think that the Sword Pavilion will appear here?"

The scholar said, "It's just that there is such a possibility." Since the Sword Pavilion was chased by the dragon, then follow the traces of the dragon, there will always be some results. The dragon slaying conference held here may have something to do with the Sword Pavilion. Even if he doesn't show up, we may get some clues. His face unconsciously became heavy, and he said, "No matter what, he is still alive, and we must find him." ”

The round-faced monk said, "That is natural." He kidnapped us to Penglai, and he wanted to leave us alone, and it depended on whether we agreed or not. He squeezed his fist slightly.

I heard someone say, "It's midnight, it's midnight." ”

Everyone looked up at the same time, but saw that a bright moon was rising to the highest place, and it was indeed midnight.

I only heard a burst of snoring, and the sea water in the distance suddenly boiled, and I heard someone shout: "The sea ruins have appeared." ”

The round-faced monk followed the gaze of the crowd, and saw a hazy place in the distance, showing a large area of light and shadow, and the smoke was vast and strange, like a town, like a ruin, and a large area covered the entire sea.

"Isn't that ......," said the round-faced monk, "isn't it a mirage? I read in the book that it was a natural illusion of the sea." Not really. ”

The scholar behind him muttered, "It looks like this, but it doesn't look like a fake. Others seem to have experienced. But in the light and shadow, a black shadow slowly floated out along the tide, and flickered towards the shore, as if it was a flat boat.

Then I heard someone on the sea say: "People are illusory, and the truth is also illusory." People swim in illusion, and illusion is also real. ”

As the words fell, the boat floated in front of it, and there was a person standing on the boat, covered with a layer of mist, although he couldn't see his facial features clearly in front of him, and the shadow seemed to be a woman, because of his ethereal figure, it was more and more reverie.

The woman said in a low voice: "The entrance of the sea ruin, welcome all the immortals." ”

When a man stepped forward, he stretched out his hand and threw it, and a spiritual light fell on the boat, making a clanging sound, and the woman said, "Please come on board." As soon as the man jumped on, he had already boarded the boat, and it was strange to say that as soon as he got on the boat, his figure immediately disappeared in the fog, and he could not see clearly.

Some people behind threw out spiritual lights one after another, and stood on the boat, which was obviously like a canoe, but a dozen or so people went up and disappeared in the fog one by one, and they pretended to be dissatisfied.

There was another person behind him, throwing out a spiritual light, and wanted to get on the boat, but he saw an oar sticking out of the thorn, and the woman said softly: "The fare of the guest ship is not enough, so throw it again." The man threw another grain in a fool's hand, and then he got on board. The woman raised her voice and said, "There is one more, please come up next, and we will leave." Please wait for the rest next time. “

When the round-faced monk saw this, he was bored and said, "I also said that I was a fairy who was in the fog, but I didn't expect it to be a woman in the market who asked for money." ”

The scholar next to him said: "Don't be so loud, is this too much to offend people?" You see so many people around, all of them like that woman, what you say is not good, people will come to beat you for a while, I can't keep it." He turned his head and asked, "Dare to ask how much it costs to get on the boat this time?"

The person next to him was also a loose person, not to mention that he was dressed in tatters, and he didn't see it glamorous anyway, and said, "It's not expensive." Don't compare yourself with those big names, they are going to participate in the final dragon slaying conference, those of us who only participate in the general trade fair, ten spirit shells are enough. If the lingbei is not enough, the elixir, the materials, anything. ”

The scholar said, "Then I want to participate in the dragon slaying conference?"

The man said: "How do I know that level? Since you are going to participate in the conference, do you want to divide the dragon blood dragon scale keel of the true dragon? How valuable are those things? You have to prove to the owner of the sea ruins that you have the money to buy things instead of joining in the fun." ”

The scholar put his finger on his chin and said, "Proof it...... It seems that this time there will be some blood, I might as well put it on first, and go back and let the Sword Pavilion reimburse. ”

Suddenly, he felt that someone was pulling him, and before he could turn back, his body was crooked, and he had been pulled forward by the round-faced monk a few steps, and said angrily: "Bai Wanxiang, what are you doing?"

Bai Shaoqing's expression was solemn, and he pointed to the small boat that had already gone off the shore and said, "I saw just now that the Sword Pavilion has already boarded the ship." (To be continued.) )
