Chapter 61: Danger Strikes
Yun Xuan heard Wu Ningshuang express his opinion, and found that he also had similar feelings, and said: "If it is really the words and phrases left by heaven and earth, then you really have to ask God, but how can God ask? ”
"Could it be that some peerless powerhouse who has cultivated to a high level has feelings after visiting the Goddess Peak, and wrote "Luo Shen Yin" to express his feelings? Maybe it was inscribed by the goddess herself before she was completely petrified?"
"Haha, little brother, your idea is novel and bold. The old man rocked the oar and said, "It's just a made-up legend, little brother don't take it seriously." ”
Yun Xuan listened to the old man's laughter, but he didn't think it was just a legend, he had seen the monks who traveled through the sky, and their methods were unpredictable, maybe there was really a goddess turned into a mountain peak, waiting all day long.
Yun Xuan came back to his senses and saw that the boat had reached the middle of the river, the water had become turbulent, the waves were touching both sides of the boat one after another, and there was a whirlpool several meters the size of a boat on the river not far from the boat in front of him, forming a concave surface, and the wooden boat was heading towards the whirlpool.
Yun Xuan looked at the water around him, and in the distance it seemed that there were several whirlpools of uneven size.
The old man said confidently: "The current here is faster than the shore, and the boat will shake a little when it passes by the whirlpool, but don't worry, the whirlpool is not in a hurry, and I am in charge of the boat, so I guarantee that it will be fine to pass from above." ”
The old man adjusted the course of the ship, and the boat slowly passed by the vortex, and was sucked a little closer to the vortex, and the hull of the ship swayed slightly to the side.
Yun Xuan looked at the whirlpool outside the boat, occasionally a few water bubbles swirled and sank below the surface of the water, and there seemed to be a rotating column of water in the low recess constantly stirring the current, and he instinctively sensed that a sense of danger and fear was born from his heart.
The hull of the ship slowly moved away from the vortex, and the hull became stable again, with only the slight shaking of the rippling water.
"There's a whirlpool in a minute, but it's smaller than that. The old man said.
Yun Xuan looked at the whirlpool that had just passed, feeling that there was a monster swallowing the water below, and asked, "Boat family, you have been rowing here for many years, do you know what this whirlpool is all about?"
The old man grinned and said, "I heard that there are water monsters under the water, and they should be caused by swallowing water." But if you see a lot, it's nothing, people don't bother them, they don't bother people, and they have been safe for so many years. ”
"Every year on May 5th, we in Luoshui Town will go to the river to worship the river god, and let the river god take care of the water monsters. I don't believe there is a river god, but everyone says there is, so I just make do with it, if there is, I can get the blessing of the river god by planting a few incense sticks, right?"
"A few years ago, there was a big strange fish floating on the nearby water, the size of half a boat of mine, but it had died, and it was picked up by a few young men and sold in Luoshui Town, making a lot of money. ”
The old man chattered and babbled.
Yun Xuan was still curious about the whirlpool in the river, and said, "Is there always a whirlpool just now?"
The old man replied, "It has always been, I have been rowing for decades, and there are several whirlpools in the vicinity, and the water is quite stable here, and in some places the current is fast, and there are more whirlpools and bigger." ”
Yun Xuan said: "Boat family, this whirlpool has always been there, don't you think it's strange, the water monster won't swallow water all the time, right? It shouldn't be a water monster." ”
"It's supposed to be a boulder underwater. Wu Ningshuang next to him said suddenly.
The old man looked at Wu Ningshuang and said strangely, "Girl, how do you know that there is a big stone under the water?"
"It's my patriarch who said that the whirlpools in the river were caused by boulders. Wu Ningshuang said.
The old man looked at Wu Ningshuang with suspicion, then looked at Yun Xuan and said, "This is strange, how can you tell me how a big stone can swallow water and stir up water?"
Wu Ningshuang was speechless for a while, she didn't know how to explain, she just knew what it was, she didn't know why, not to mention that she hadn't seen it with her own eyes.
Yun Xuan didn't understand either, but he said with certainty: "The water monster won't swallow water all the time, it must be caused by the water monster." ”
The old man grinned and said: "I still eat every day, almost every day rowing, if I have something to rest, I will find someone to row for me, otherwise what will the transitional people do." We don't know anything about the water monster, and it is estimated that they will take turns to absorb water. ”
Yun Xuan felt that there was no point in arguing on this, and if he didn't go down to take a look, there would be no final conclusion, so he asked, "Isn't there anyone who goes down to see it?"
"The water is deep below, I've been here for so many years, and I'm still a little scared when I see the whirlpool, and I can't come up if I go down. More than ten years ago, a brave person in the nearby villagers went down to explore the whirlpool with a rope, but he didn't come up, and everyone said that it was because he angered the river god and was taken by the water monster. ”
"Only if we don't mess with them, we'll be safe. ”
Yun Xuan listened to the old man's words, and he had no intention of going down, the whirlpool did look very dangerous.
After a small whirlpool, the boat has passed most of the river, Fang Mo and Zhao Peng on the opposite bank are standing on the ferry and looking at this side, this time a few people crossed the Luoshui crossing, but they didn't expect it to take more than an hour, but fortunately, they were almost on the opposite side.
The sun shone on the water, the phosphorescence jumped, and the boat fell silent.
Yun Xuan took advantage of this quietness to look around at the scenery of the water, the river was open, the grass and trees on both sides were green, and looking upstream and downstream of the river, the end of the river was covered by grass and trees, and the water surface there was blue and misty.
"Hahaha, ahahaha~"
Suddenly, an arrogant and strange laughter came from the woods upstream, and the birds and finches from the forest were startled and flew away into the distance, and the waves on the water trembled with the laughter, and the white horse neighed in horror.
This laughter was too scary, Yun Xuan heard this sudden sound of laughter that shook the four fields, his ears buzzed, his heart became weird and nervous, he felt that the laughter was a little familiar, but it was not so powerful before.
Wu Ningshuang stood out of the dock, carried his sword, and shouted upstream: "Who is laughing there?"
"It's the old demon of the green vine. A voice sounded in Yun Xuan's heart, it was Qingli's voice.
Yun Xuan put down Xiaobai, stood up, and stared at the upstream.
Suddenly, a slightly dark and green figure jumped up from the forest three hundred meters upstream, landed on the top of the tree, stepped on the tail of the tree, and ran towards the river.
The figure finally stepped on the treetops, swooped forward, left the shore more than 20 meters, fell to the water, stepped on the microwave, the figure suddenly snorted, and then advanced ten meters forward, running towards the boat, laughing wildly while running.
When Xuan heard Qingli's words, he was shocked, and his heart turned sharply: "What should I do, there are still almost a hundred meters from the shore at this moment, the iron rod is not in my hand, and the tortoise shell piece given by Qing Ming is no longer in my hand." ”
"Brother Yunxuan, my soul can't exert much power of the lotus body now, and I will convey the power of the lotus green wood qi of the lotus body to you in a while, and find a way to escape. Qing Li's voice rose sharply.
"Everyone, be careful, the person who came is a very strong monster, can you swim in the water?" Yun Xuan looked at Wu Ningshuang and said.
Wu Ningshuang was stunned when she heard Yun Xuan's words: "How do you know it's a monster? ”
Then she said, "I can't swim." ”
"Boatman, if you get into a fight and fall into the water, please save this girl to the shore. Yun Xuan looked at the old man and said.
"Little brother, don't scare me. How can there be a youkai? I think it's someone who wants to take a boat. The old man said, but he still accelerated the paddle, he had never seen such a person treading water like a phantom, and he felt so terrifying.
Wu Ningshuang looked at the person who came by treading water at this time, knowing the strength of the other party, with a bang, he pulled out his clear sword, stood on guard, and only said: "Be careful." ”
At this time, the figure on the water had come to twenty meters away, and it could be seen more clearly, it was a brown figure, and his long chaotic green hair fluttered and scattered behind him, and he stepped on the surface of the water with both feet, jumped forward in the air, and landed on the top of the dock with a click.
The old demon of the green vine fell to the dock, his face was strange, and he looked up to the sky and smiled: "Hahaha, hahaha." ”
When he finished laughing, he stared at Yun Xuan and said loudly: "It's really effortless, I didn't expect to be chased and killed by that girl, but I met you here, it's really endless!"
At this time, Zhao Peng, who was standing on the opposite bank, looked at the back on the dock, and his heart trembled: "It's wrong, it should be that old monster." ”
"What old monster?" Fang Mo asked in surprise.
Zhao Peng's face was anxious at this time, and he said, "It's the old demon of the green vine, who came to find Yun Xuan specifically, and I met Yun Xuan." It's suffered, it's suffered, it's so far offshore, we can't help, what should we do?"
Fang Mo's face was solemn after hearing this.
"Yun Xuan, it's an old monster, be careful!" Zhao Peng shouted.
Yun Xuan was on the boat, heard Zhao Peng's distant shout, and did not respond.
He stared all his attention at the green-haired and shawl-haired old demon in front of him, his heart was already heavy and tight, and with fear, the lotus green wood qi flowing from the lotus on his arm secretly ran throughout his body.
This green vine old demon looked much more hideous than before, far less calm than in the forest outside Ping'an Village, he exuded a surging momentum, and pressed towards Yun Xuan and Wu Ningshuang.
The old man had stopped paddling, and he didn't seem to feel the momentum of the green vine, but he felt that the person in front of him was very hideous and vicious, and said: "This brother, if you have something to say, are you here to take a boat, it doesn't matter, you can just take a person, this little brother next to you will help you pay for it, don't stand on the dock, there is no weight on it." ”
The old demon of the green vine stared at the old man in a round way and said, "It's really noisy." ”
With a flick of his finger, a small piece of green light shot out and shot towards the old man.
Wu Ningshuang just stood in front of Yun Xuan, her eyes were quick, a sword fell, and with a ding, the sword in her hand broke in response, and the broken tip of the sword flew into the water outside the boat, and she was shocked to take two steps back and retreat to Yun Xuan's side.
"Hugh wants to hurt people. She exclaimed, already taken aback.
Before she set off from the clan, she had raised her cultivation to the fifth layer of condensation, and the sword was also a specially selected mortal-level seven-grade sword, which was specially given to her by the clan to use in Yuxuanzong, and she didn't expect to be cut off by the green light in front of her, and this person easily attacked with vitality out of the body, obviously this is a rumored aura attack, and his cultivation should exceed the realm of the Dao Palace.
Seeing that his green light was blocked and scattered, the old demon of the green vine turned his eyes to look at Wu Ningshuang, who was dressed in white and covered with a hat and a white veil, and suddenly felt happy in his eyes, and said: "I didn't expect to meet a stunning beauty here, just because I lack a beauty to accompany me, and I don't take the hat off." ”
His sleeves were raised forward, and the wind suddenly rose, Wu Ningshuang was cold and unguarded by the wind, and the hat on his head snorted, and was blown into the air, floating and falling into the water with Yun Xuan's hat.
Suddenly, Wu Ningshuang's delicate and cold face was revealed.
The eyes of the old demon of the green vine were shining with joy, but his face was strange, and he said: "Haha, the beauty is really a beauty, I am lucky today, I guess your blood is also very delicious, the blood of the beauty." Hmm~"
He closed his upper eyes and turned his face upward, as if reminiscing.
It was also the first time for Yun Xuan to see Wu Ningshuang's face so closely, and a stunning beauty appeared in his eyes, but he didn't want to appreciate it, so he hurriedly stepped forward, blocked Wu Ningshuang behind him, and said, "Come with the boatman, this monster is very powerful." ”
