It is still the ancient city of fish in the middle of summer, the weather is gloomy, it does not rain, and it is extremely sultry.

Xu Changsheng was only wearing a short shirt, and he was sweating nonstop.

With a wine gourd tied around his waist, he found a wine shop and bought two jars of high-quality rice wine for ten taels of silver, and put it all into the wine gourd under the horrified eyes of the owner of the wine shop.

After loading, Xu Changsheng shook it and found that the weight was not much different, it was really a good baby.

Although his alcohol consumption is not very good, and his face will be flushed after a few sips, he also knows that the amount of alcohol is practiced, and if he doesn't drink it, the amount of alcohol will always be so poor.

And there is another point, just like Li Ruan said, if he meets someone he likes in the future, it will not be good to drink with her and be poured down by her.

A flash in my head.

Sister Li Ruan's alcohol consumption seems to be better than her own......

After buying wine and having nothing else to do, Xu Changsheng went out of the city from the north gate.

All the way north.

It was still a mountain road, and Xu Changsheng didn't have any horse mounts, so he walked on two legs, so for him, it was naturally faster to walk in a straight line.

The mountain trail was difficult, but it didn't make a difference to him.

It's nothing more than going over mountains and mountains, but at this time, he really envies those cultivators, who control a magic weapon that can fly, where do they have to suffer from the fatigue of this boat.

Fortunately, there is Da Lu to relieve boredom.

Just like now, Da Lu hung on his ears, swaying and swaying, and had a lot of fun. Suddenly, he sat down on his ear again, and shouted into his ear.

Xu Changsheng couldn't understand what it was saying, and shouted nonsense, but still responded with a smile. After all, the painful memories that should not be remembered are still vivid.

Then Da Lu jumped again, dragging Xu Changsheng's hair and climbing on top of his head. Grabbing two strands of his hair, he waved it forward.

Xu Changsheng is also willing to accompany it.

Laugh out loud.

Jumped to the top of the tree and walked directly on the tree.

The wind is howling.

A thick black hair fluttered wildly, and Da Lu also grabbed Xu Changsheng's hair and floated in the air, opening his small mouth wide and giggling.

After climbing over a mountain, Xu Changsheng heard the sound of a waterfall in the distance.

Ascending high and looking, sure enough, I saw a waterfall in the col in front of me, the waterfall is not big, but it is extremely high, hanging down, forming a deep pool several zhang wide at the bottom of the mountain.

Xu Changsheng stepped directly on the top of the tree and took Da Lu through the mountainside.

Stepping on a big tree, I was shocked to drop a dead leaf.

Leaping with his strength, he jumped far away towards the waterhole.

Da Lu also knew Xu Changsheng's intentions, and hurriedly got into his hair, but because his body was too big, he exposed a small head.

Dripping eyes are rolling around.

But he felt bad, so when Xu Changsheng was laughing, he changed directions, buried his head, and pouted his buttocks.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, Xu Changsheng fell into the cold pool.

The water was turbulent, and Da Lu grabbed Xu Changsheng's hair tightly, for fear of being swept away by the current.

The soles of Xu Changsheng's feet swayed a few times at will, and then the water surface was newly revealed, and there was a deafening sound of water in his ears.

With his right hand, he wiped the river water on his face, and it was very pleasant.

Da Lu also grabbed Xu Changsheng's hair and climbed onto his head again, and knocked Xu Changsheng hard with his small fist a few times, as if venting his dissatisfaction.

Xu Changsheng grabbed it with his hand and put it on the water in front of him, Da Lu immediately struggled, his limbs fluttered, and he rose and fell on the water.

Xu Changsheng laughed and grabbed Da Lu, jumped out of the water, put it on the stone by the lake, turned around and jumped down the pool.

Da Lu immediately got up with a bone, blinking his little eyes, staring at the water.

After waiting for a long time, Xu Changsheng jumped out of the water, holding a foot-long herring in his hand, laughing.

After a while, Xu Changsheng dealt with the herring, put it on the fire, patted Da Lu's little head with his fingers, and told it to look at the waterfall before turning to look at the waterfall.

With a slight force under his feet, he jumped onto the stone in front of the waterfall, and the water splashed and the sound of the water roared.

Xu Changsheng took a deep breath, his fist intent shook, his blood was boiling, and a large area of water vapor was steaming, even Da Lu looked back, he didn't know what Xu Changsheng was going to do, he scratched his head in puzzlement, and continued to stare at the squeaky herring.

The boy slowly stepped into the waterfall.

The waterfall smashed on the top of Xu Changsheng's head, his body sank, and he snorted.

Anyway, I managed to bear it.

Under the pressure, he struggled to pose in the "cliff side pine" pose, and the muscles on his body withered, and he entered the cultivation state of "Withered".

The skin on his body cracked inch by inch, and black blood flowed out.

In fact, in the second golden tendon realm, Xu Changsheng had already opened his muscles and bones, but he had not entered the second extreme realm for a long time, according to the Tang and Song dynasties at that time, Xu Changsheng had suffered too many dark injuries in his early years, and his muscles and bones were not perfect, and he could not reach the second heavy mixed element integration.

Only by constantly refining and re-refining oneself with one's own blood and qi can one step into the extreme realm.

Now it was the cultivation method that suddenly popped up in his mind when he saw this waterfall, borrowing the power of the waterfall to temper his body and accelerate the operation of blood and qi, so as to achieve the purpose of cultivation.

After a while, Xu Changsheng felt that his blood and qi were empty, and if there were no medicinal materials to replenish it, he would inevitably be injured if he continued to refine it.

He immediately withdrew from the cultivation state, and his fist intent was completely dissipated.

With a "boom", it was smashed out of the waterfall, spit out a mouthful of blood out of thin air, and fell back to the shore.

After barely standing firmly, he spit out a mouthful of blood mist, but this was already a piece of cake for Xu Changsheng, wiped the corners of his mouth, lowered his head and smiled at Da Lu, and sat down.

In fact, the cultivation just now was already worth a few days of hard cultivation for him, but in the end, the strength was still not enough, and the next continued cultivation would not have this effect.

Don't think about it anymore and continue to flip the grilled fish.

It wasn't until it was almost ripe that Xu Changsheng took out some spices from the mustard seeds and sprinkled them.

Then he took the herring from the fire rack, and he was not afraid of being hot, so he took a bite of it.

As soon as I took a bite, I couldn't help but think of Yan Beichen, when we met for the first time, he also took out a loach directly from the hot soup, and he was surprised that he was not afraid of being hot.

I didn't expect that only a year later, I also reached this realm.

Just as Xu Changsheng was eating happily, Da Lu pulled his trouser leg, pouted, looked at him with an aggrieved face, and then carried his little hands on his back, twisting and pinching, like a wronged little daughter-in-law.

Xu Changsheng couldn't help laughing, his mind moved, he took out a white water coin from the mustard seed and handed it to him.

Da Lu happily took it, but he didn't take a few bites, and he felt that it was wrong.

Xu Changsheng also handed over the inkstone at the right time, and lifted Da Lu to the edge of the inkstone by the way.

The ink on the inkstone slowly gathers, transforming into the shape of a small fish.

As soon as Ying Zhong appeared, he saw Xu Changsheng holding a herring fish and gnawing on it, he shivered, immediately shook it, and dissipated again.

Xu Changsheng was also stunned, looked at the herring in his hand, looked at the inkstone again, and suddenly realized.

Da Lu was also a little angry.

With a "hum", he took a heavy bite of the white water coin, chewed it and sprayed it in the inkstone.

After the light touched the inkstone, it gradually dimmed.

Xu Changsheng also took three bites and made two bites, and ate the herring clean.

After eating, Xu Changsheng took off the wine bottle on his waist, poured it hard, and burped.

I also realized the benefits of refining my body again, at least I don't have to worry about fish bones stuck when I eat fish.

It wasn't until Xu Changsheng finished eating that Ying Zhong reappeared, opening his mouth wide in the inkstone, waiting for Da Lu to chew up the immortal coins and feed it to it.

After eating and resting for a while, Xu Changsheng shook his spirits again and jumped towards the waterfall.

......

At this moment, on the edge of a large lake that was extremely far away, there was a crowd of people, mostly monks, and only a few brave mortals were mixed in the outermost part.

Whether it was the monk looming in the clouds, or the mortal who could only see the darkness on tiptoe, they all stared at the vast lake.

There is no other reason, today is the annual sacrificial ceremony of the Ghost Jiao Dragon King of this "Ghost Jiao Lake".

As for the sacrificial boys and girls, they were naturally placed by the lake, waiting for the dragon king to come out of the lake.

And this ritual has been going on for at least a few decades in this small country. There is no other reason, in this place where the cultivation is the highest but the Lingtai Realm, who dares to stand up against a monster in the Three Realms?

There are also immortals who came to subdue demons and subdue demons, except for those who became the monster's belly, the other immortals, most of them left in a hurry not long after they got into the water.

I don't know why.

Therefore, this monster has been entrenched in this ghost Jiao Lake as a prestige, and several small countries next to it dare not be angry. I can only swallow my anger and offer sacrifices to this monster every year to pray for peace.

In the human world, this monster doesn't dare to be too presumptuous, otherwise it has the top power to patrol the human world. So in fact, this monster is still very smart, and in addition to the blood food of tribute, it rarely goes out alone. Most of them are diving in this lake.

By the lake are babies clutching cages and yelling.

Standing behind is a group of immortals who want to have a long experience and see what the immortals of the three realms are like. As for whether it is a monster or a human race in these upper three realms, it is actually not much different to them.

Nobody went to see the babies, for them.

The sacrifice has always been like this, so there is no need to be surprised. And those children who died because of the sacrifice were naturally considered unlucky.

After a long time.

The surface of the lake began to ripple.

The people in the back row are also tiptoeing more and more, hoping to see the grand scene when the dragon comes out of the lake.

The microwaves accumulated higher and higher, and no one retreated, but their eyes widened.

"Boom-"

A dragon with black scale armor, two horns on its head, four claws on its abdomen, and a body length of 100 zhang broke through the water.

Just as it rises to the clouds and looks down on the earth.

Behind the dense crowd, a knife-wielding man jumped.

The look was cold.

The man raised the narrow knife with both hands, jumped into the clouds, and under the attention of all the people, he slashed down the hundred-zhang dragon with one sword.

Laugh heartily, like a bell.

"Today, I will slaughter your mountain loach and give it to my brother Xu to stew soup to drink!"
