Volume 1 Wandering in the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 18 Get out of the tiger's mouth and enter the wolf's den

This Li Qi is so domineering, how could he ever see Lin Zining burrowing into the lake, and he wanted to insist that the person was in the hands of the lake king, and he wanted to ask for him!

The so-called Jun in the Mountains and Jun in the Lake are the honorific titles for the enlightened creatures in the mountains and lakes, but although Li Qi said the Jun in the Lake twice, he was a villain in tone and content.

The lake is called Tawau and is named because of its funnel-like shape. Tawau's Jun Nai is a hooked snake, dozens of feet long, the body of the snake is densely scaled, hard as steel, its tail is like a hook, often in the water to hook the shore of people, cattle and horses. Later, he was crusaded by the court mage, and only after losing the battle did he accept the canonization of the court and became the king of Tawau.

In order to canonize it, this hooked snake also gave itself a name, called Hook Yuan.

Tawau Jun Gou Yuan was playing with his wife and concubine in his own cave mansion, and suddenly heard Li Qi's roar from above the cave mansion, and his heart was very unhappy. I called the catfish spirit next to me to go out of the house to investigate, and by the way, I went to meet the Terran reckless man who didn't know anything for a while.

This Tawau looks like a funnel from land, but when viewed underwater, the walls on both sides extend more than ten miles into the center of the lake, dividing Tawau into upper and lower parts, while the island in the lake is the part where the stone wall grows upwards and exposes the water's edge.

In this way, this Tawau does look like a funnel, but it looks like the bottom of the two bowls has broken and stuck together, like an hourglass.

As soon as the catfish spirit came out of the king's mansion, he sent an order to all directions, asking if anyone had hidden the living, and there were not many water tribes that had become spirits.

When the catfish spirit heard this, he first sent the patrolling fish and shrimp over the arched stone wall to go to the lake to look for it, and then he opened the waterway and led dozens of soldiers all the way up to meet the man on the lake for a while.

After waiting for a long time, Li Qi was already a little anxious in his heart, and was about to rush into the lake, when he saw a whirlpool suddenly appearing next to the small island in the lake, and it was getting bigger and bigger.

As soon as he saw this battle, Li Qi knew that it was not Huzhongjun who came out, so he didn't bother to salute and asked, "What did you Huzhongjun ask you to wait for?" Why don't you hand over the thief? ”

When the catfish spirit saw that this person was so angry, he felt a little angry in his heart, but he couldn't figure out the details of Li Qi, and he didn't dare to speak ill of Li Qi like Li Qi, so he said: "I don't know who this immortal is chasing, but just now I waited to search the bottom of the lake, and I really didn't see any strange faces mixed in." Didn't Shangxian just read it wrong? ”

Li Qi was not fooled with a few words, and said: "You want to deceive me with this one-sided statement?" ”

The catfish spirit said: "I really don't dare to deceive the immortals, I really haven't seen a thief." ”

Li Qi said again: "Then why didn't you see your Huzhong Jun come to tell me, is he looking down on me?" ”

The catfish said carefully, I really look down on you, if anyone shouts at the lake, my family will rush out to see him, wouldn't he be tired to death. However, when he thought so, he couldn't say this on his lips, so he said: "My family is in retreat and cultivating, and it is indeed not that he has neglected the immortals. ”

This catfish spirit is shrewd, and after saying this, he added: "Didn't the thief make a trick and make a move, and he has already fled elsewhere?" If the immortal doesn't believe what the villain says, he can go down and search with us, but I'm afraid that this thief will run away. ”

Li Qi said in his heart, does this kid have such ability? But I have to guard against it, so I will look for it again, if I can't find it, I will go directly to the bottom of the lake when I come back, and I don't bother to discuss it with him. With a plan in his heart, he said, "I will believe you once." After speaking, he turned around and flew in the direction of Luanping City.

After sending Li Qi away, the catfish spirit returned to the lake, and asked the soldiers patrolling the upper lake, but the report still did not meet the living, so he felt that the matter had nothing to do with him. Back in the house, Gou Yuan asked, "Have you ever gone to the dark hole under the island in the lake to find it?" ”

When the catfish spirit heard this, he hurriedly said: "Jun Hou, we have indeed forgotten that place, but how can an outsider know about that dark hole?" When Gou Yuan heard this, he snorted and said, "How do you know that he won't crash in?" ”

The catfish spirit said again: "The little one is going to look for it, but if there is really a living person there, is it waiting for the person just now to take it away, or is it ......?"

Gou Yuan stared at the catfish essence as if he had heard a joke, and asked, "Do you think that your family is like a rag, and anyone who comes can break it a few times?" Since I can be chased by others, there must be something special about it, how can I hand it over so easily? ”

This is the temper of the king! When the catfish spirit heard this, he immediately retreated, and led dozens of aquarium spirits straight to the island in the lake. It really made Tawau Jun Goyin guess correctly, the island in the middle of the lake is shaped like an oil lamp like a diagonal arm, extending from the huge stone wall on the shore of the lake.

The bottom of the stone island is not smooth, and a stone cave has been formed under the impact of the lake, and there are even holes/eyes of different sizes on the stone cave that lead to the surface of the water, so it is not a problem to hide there for ventilation.

When Lin Zining dived to the island in the lake, he accidentally drilled under the stone island, and at that time he was unable to hold back, and he was itching, and he wanted to drill up, but he really asked him to drill into the stone cave. However, Lin Zining had already come out of the water and passed out, so the catfish spirit found him and dragged him back to the bottom of the lake.

Seeing the sleeping Lin Zining, Gou Yuan said to the catfish spirit: "What, what Ben Hou said is right?" ”

When the catfish spirit saw Lin Zining in the stone cave, he threw himself to the ground for the five bodies that Gou Yuan admired, and now when Gou Yuan asked like this, his words were naturally full of admiration.

As he spoke, the catfish essence took out a shining bead from his arms again, and said to Gou Yuan: "Jun Hou, you see this bead shining, isn't it a treasure?" With that, he handed the crystal bead to Hook Yuan.

Looking at Gou Yuan's careful large number of beads, the catfish essence pointed at Lin Zining and said, "I don't think this kid has any cultivation skills, I think that the person just now must have wanted to snatch this bead." ”

Gou Yuan first raised the bead in his right hand and put it in front of his eyes to take a closer look, and saw that it was nothing special except for shining and shining, and then held it in the palm of his hand and rubbed it slowly, except for being slightly hot, he didn't see any reaction, and his heart said that this is not much different from the night pearl, in terms of size, there are many bigger ones in his treasure house.

I couldn't figure it out, so I said to the catfish spirit: "Wake him up and ask him what's going on?" ”

The catfish spirit poured a few bowls of water on Lin Zining's face as he said, and saw Lin Zining wake up slowly.

Lin Zining opened his eyes and saw that he was actually in a palace, and there was a man with a sharp face and a big mouth sitting in a golden python robe in the main hall, and a man with a head like a catfish standing next to him. Xindao, I must have arrived at the bottom of the lake, saw the true spirit at the bottom of the lake, and was stunned for a while, so that I didn't know what to say.

Seeing Lin Zining's ignorant look, the catfish spirit said: "The hall is Lord Jun Goyuan in Tawau Lake, and I am the general Cat Seventeen under Jun Hou's account, who are you and why were you hunted down?" ”

Lin Zining said in his heart, he really guessed himself, but seeing that the two of them were not good-looking, they were not good people, but they didn't dare to show off any skills except for the tiger's den and the wolf's den.

After making up his mind to hide his clumsiness, Lin Zining pretended to be scared and said in a panic: "Bing...... Gentleman, Bing...... General, Little ...... Small ......"

Seeing Lin Zining stammering, the catfish spirit was afraid of making Gou Yuan angry, so he said loudly: "What are you panicking about?" If you speak, my gentleman is the most pitiful to the poor and the weak, if there is a grievance, he will definitely uphold justice for you, you just say it directly to the monarch, don't panic. ”

"Yes, yes." Lin Zining nodded and said, "I am originally from Huanglong Town, Zhenhai County, and my name is Wang Lecheng. A few days ago, two qi refiners suddenly came to the town, killing people in the post station for no reason, my family and I happened to pass by the post station, and when the two saw it, they wanted to kill us. ”

"Fortunately, I escaped by killing myself and hiding in the corpse, but he killed my parents, brothers and servants in my family." Speaking of this, Lin Zining's tears kept flowing, "I hid in Zhenhai County for several days, I wanted to report to the officials, but I didn't want to be caught by them, and I planted Gu worms on me, once the Gu worms attacked, they would be painful." ”

"Today, because these two people are going to kill me, in desperation, I have to escape while they are not paying attention, so I think I will go to my uncle who lives in Luanping County first. But he didn't want to be found by him, if it wasn't for the two adults to save him, the villain would have died in Huangquan. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Zining howled, cried and cried, and said: "The grace of saving lives, the small one cannot be repaid, but there is a sending, everything is done, I just ask the adults to take in the small ones for the time being." When he had finished speaking, he knelt on the ground and bowed his head.

Lin Zining wept bitterly and shed tears, his words were sincere, and he believed six or seven points when he hooked Yuan, this is the catfish essence and added: "Jun Hou, I see that what this person said is very sincere, I met the wicked man just now, that person is indeed vicious in his eyes and rude in words, he must be a vicious person." ”

Whether that person is a vicious person or not, Gou Yuan doesn't care, after all, he is not a good man and a woman, if this person in front of him is useless, he can't commit the two most powerful wicked people, but that person's attitude is too bad, how can he call people out like a turtle with a shrunken head?

Thinking of this, Gou Yuan held up the crystal bead and asked, "What is this bead?" Isn't that the man going after this bead on you? ”

When Lin Zining heard this, he was shocked, he just woke up, he forgot to confirm whether the bead was on his body, but fortunately he forgot, otherwise Gou Yuan would have thought that this was a treasure.

Holding back the worry in his heart, Lin Zining slowly raised his head, looked at the bead that Gou Yuan was holding, and said: "This is a night pearl given to me by my father, I was about to give this bead to Jun Hou, but I didn't want to be frightened, I completely forgot about it, if Jun Hou doesn't dislike it, please accept it, it's also a small piece of heart." ”

Seeing that Lin Zining was a little unbearable in his eyes, Gou Yuan didn't think much about it, just thought that ordinary people had never seen a real treasure, so he said: "What treasure is there in this treasure house, what is it if it is just a night pearl?" Taking this thing from you, it seems that I have won the love of others. ”
