Chapter 214: Temptation
The sound of the rain became louder and louder, swallowing up the sound of the battle between Di Gua and the water ghosts, and the surroundings gradually turned into a white expanse, as if he was the only one left in the world.
There was no sound around except the sound of rain, and Hong Tuo, who was worried about affecting the battle of Di Gua, did not call out loudly, but he was very worried in his heart, so he could only hold the fire sword tightly, and use the light of the fire sword to dispel the white fog in front of him, trying to get closer to Di Gua.
I don't know how far I went, there was still only the sound of rain in my ears, Hong Tuo was feeling strange, and suddenly felt that his feet were empty, and the whole person fell into the icy river.
Because of the suddenness of the incident, Hong Tuo didn't have time to adjust his breathing, choked a few mouthfuls of water before he began to hold his breath, trying to poke his head into the water, the fire sword in his hand suddenly shone brightly, illuminating the water droplets very brightly, but he was busy floating on the surface of the water and did not notice that there was something black winding up the water.
It was almost over, Hong Tuo broke through the water, took two deep breaths, and before he could spit out the water that had just choked into his lungs, his feet suddenly sank, and something wrapped around his ankles, pulling him down to the bottom.
However, with the experience of the past, this time Hong Tuo held his breath very well, and even used the light of the fire sword to check the situation under the water, and found that it was something similar to hair wrapped around his feet.
Hong Tuo swung his sword to cut off the things that were wrapped around his feet, and he walked away from the fire sword, and easily cut off those things, and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, when he saw a face gradually emerge from the black cloud.
It was the water ghost just now, Hong was shocked, almost choked on the water again, and hurriedly went upstream, but unfortunately the water ghost didn't give him this opportunity, waved his hands, hugged him and leaned towards him.
Despite the panic, Hong Tuo's speed upstream was not satisfied, and even so, he had never reached the surface of the water for a long time, and he obviously hadn't swam for long just now.
As soon as his ankles tightened, Hong Tuo looked down, and the water ghost hugged his right foot with both hands, and looked up to show him a smile.
"Metallic, I can't beat it, he seems to care about your safety, so let you replace me!"
Hong Tuo hurriedly swung his sword, the red light flashed from the fire sword, the water ghost screamed and retreated, his face became hideous, and the surrounding river also became rapid, like a whirlpool, tightly encircling him inside.
"You're his disciple! He clearly said that he wanted me to become a true disciple!"
The water ghost's face gradually turned pale, and thin fish scales even grew on his sideburns, reflecting the cold and gloomy light.
The water ghost's voice became more and more resentful and vicious, and he looked at Hong Tuo faintly, his pupils continued to tighten, and his entire eyes were almost covered by the whites of his eyes, as if Hong Tuo was a thief who robbed him of his treasure.
Fang Cai Di Hexagram said that he didn't know him, so it could only be that this water ghost recognized the wrong person, and the only person who has the ability to ensure that others become true disciples in Shushan is the elder or the head of the sect, so is it possible that the metalness in the mouth of this water ghost is a certain elder in Shushan now?
Thinking of the recent incident in Shushan, Hong Tuo's heart moved, the metallic elders of Shushan only have the sixth elder Chen Gen, but the six elders are responsible for the materials and silver money of the entire Shushan, and they have only managed it in an orderly manner, and they usually don't smile, and they don't look like people who can kill their disciples......
During the time when Hong Tuo was silent, the water ghost had been watching him, and when the light of the fire sword gradually dimmed, he was ready to move.
Hong Tuo was not completely distracted, and also left a part of his attention to observe the water ghosts, things that the master could not easily deal with, of course he had to be cautious, and hurriedly urged the fire sword to emit a dazzling light, temporarily forcing back the water ghosts who wanted to get closer, breaking through the water ghosts' barriers, and sighing out of the water and shouting, "It's a pity that you recognize the wrong person, my master is not the sixth elder!"
The water ghost stepped forward suddenly, and a cold force wrapped Hong Tuo tightly, the cold feeling hit his body, his breathing became slow, and he opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of white mist.
"This sword is an excellent thing to ward off evil spirits, but it's a pity that your cultivation is still shallow, and you are far from being my opponent!"
Hong shuddered coldly, and couldn't hold the fire sword for a while, but he still refused to let go, and even held the sword in his arms, trembling, "You...... It's pathetic...... The one who harmed you...... Having a good time...... And here you ......"
The water ghost's eyes became more and more fierce, and the entire river surface and Hong Tuo were frozen by him, and Hong Tuo's body was covered with a thick layer of white frost, but he still held the Lihuo Sword in his arms.
"Put your sword down!"
The temperature in the body gradually lost, and the consciousness began to blur, in the face of the roar of the water ghost, Hong teased and laughed, because the cold words were a little incoherent, and stammered, "You, you and I, when I am stupid, let go, it is true, dead ......"
Under the heavy cold, Hong Tuo only felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and people were getting more and more sleepy, this was the feeling of dying closely, he wanted to struggle, but the spiritual power in his body was also like being frozen, and he couldn't pull out a star and a half to pinch the mantra for a while, I don't know when Di Gu would be able to find out that the water ghost came to him, thinking of this, Hong Tuo's heart was sad, sure enough, in the face of strong strength, can he only rely on them for protection?
After thinking about this, Hong Tuo lost consciousness.
At the same time as Hong Tu lost consciousness, layers of green began to appear under the ice, and the fresh branches broke through the ice and wrapped him all the way up.
Although he didn't understand what was happening, the water ghost was willing to let him go like this, and he stepped on the water and rolled up a long pillar to chase after him, constantly attacking those branches with water blades, who knew that those water blades only splashed a small splash when they touched the branches, and then merged into them.
The water ghost became more and more annoyed, and tried to catch up with him in a frenzy, but unfortunately he didn't notice that the raindrops around him were gradually decreasing, and the white mist was gradually dissipating, and just as he was about to touch Hong Tea's body, a sharp blade wearing a talisman broke through the branches and plunged straight into his chest.
The water ghost looked down at the talisman sent by the sword on his chest, and the chaotic mind suddenly became much clearer, the pattern on the talisman was so familiar, he had studied hard all night just to be able to enter the inner door to learn more skills, and to exorcise demons and evil spirits for the world.
The column of water under his feet dissipated, and the water ghost fell back into the water without setting off a wave.
The rain gradually stopped, and the golden fibers tore through the clouds, sprinkling a large area of golden light, and there was a hint of dreamlike splendor at the junction of light and darkness.
Di Hexagram withdrew his broken gold sword, flew to Hong Kuo's side, carefully removed him from the branches, and carried him back to the river.
The ground was still wet, and the river was much higher and flowing.
After confirming that Hong Tuo was fine, those branches gradually retracted, and finally turned into a flash of green light and flowed into Hong Tuo's body.
Di Gu sighed, stretched out his hand and silently pulsed, confirming that Hong Tuo was only too heavily infected by the cold qi, and he could wake up with a little nourishment of the aura, so he was relieved.
"This backmountain is not simple after all......"
