Chapter 20: The Water Monster

"The Art of War," I have heard that this book is extremely exquisite, but it has been lost for a long time and has never had the opportunity to see it. Unexpectedly, it was hidden in the Mo family. The head of Yin smiled and said: "The Mo family's library includes all categories in this world, music scores, poetry scores, chess scores, painting scores, sword scores, medicine scores, recipes, the art of war, etc., the old man has not finished reading it for decades, you like the art of war, read the art of war in a year." ”

Since then, Xiang Yu went to the library every day to learn the art of war, and Xiang Zhuang and Ling'er went to the cave every day to learn swordsmanship. After half a year has passed, Ling'er and Xiang Zhuang know all kinds of famous swords, the origin legends of various sword schools, the sword masters, the skills of the imperial sword, and the swordsmanship of each school, and gradually they are not so hard.

One day, Ling'er pulled Xiang Zhuang to turn east and west, flew down from the cliff, Ling'er pulled him to a rock cave, the hole was very deep, pitch black, Xiang Zhuang looked up at Ling'er, just saw her fire-like translucent scarlet eyes, beautiful as the glow, like a flower, straight to people fall deeply.

Ling'er saw Xiang Zhuang looking at herself blankly, her face couldn't help blushing slightly, and she said playfully: "Brother Xiang, do you say I'm good-looking?" Xiang Zhuang sighed: "It's very good-looking, more beautiful than a fairy." ”

Ling'er smiled: "Have you seen a fairy?" Xiang Zhuang said: "I haven't seen it!"

"Haha, let's go to this cave and have a look, maybe we can meet a fairy?" Ling'er said coquettishly.

"How is that possible?" Ling'er pulled him up and walked in, the sound of water was faintly heard in the cave, and the more he went forward, the more forks in the road, there were some caryophyllum stalagmites everywhere, hanging stalactites, strange stones, strange and unique, reflecting all kinds of brilliance, fantastic and magnificent.

"Isn't this the way to the bottom of the sea?" said Xiang Zhuang in surprise.

"Brother Xiang, how do you know?" Ling'er said strangely.

"I'm from Chu, where we are full of seas, and the caves by the sea are like this. Xiang Zhuang said.

"Look, Brother Xiang, there is a bright light ahead!" Ling'er exclaimed in surprise, and sure enough, the sparkling waves reflected on the mountain wall.

When you come to the exit, it is like a mountain cliff, and there is indeed a blue sea dozens of feet below. The smoke was vast and endless, and the turquoise sea was as soft as silk, and the breeze blew and rippled. It turns out that Shenlong Mountain is the land on one side and the ocean on the other.

"Wow, what a beautiful sea, I see the fish in the sea. Ling'er shouted excitedly.

"Do you like it, let's go down and catch fish!" Xiang Zhuang also said excitedly.

As soon as the words fell, her figure suddenly jumped high, and her skirt flew in mid-air, like a red flower in bloom; the water on the sea surface shook, and the red flower instantly sank into the depths of the sea, and Xiang Zhuang also jumped into the water.

Ling'er was like a spirit in the water, jumping around in the water, splashing bursts of water; Xiang Zhuang wanted to catch a fish for Ling'er, but the fish was very shrewd, and he didn't let him catch it when he was going around between his fingers.

Ling'er looked back at Xiang Zhuang, only to see that he was grabbing left and right, but his hands were empty-handed, which made Ling'er laugh.

Xiang Zhuang turned his head helplessly and looked at Ling'er and sighed: "Ling'er, why do you think I can't catch fish?"

Ling'er was about to speak, when she saw a group of turquoise goldfish swimming quickly from the soles of their feet and overheads. Those goldfish had a pale blue wing on their head, like a giant lotus with an open canopy, and the petals were dotted with a few golden tooth-like highlights, which were very enchanting under the reflection of blue light and shadow.

Ling'er watched with great interest as these beautiful fish swam by, one of them almost stuck in her arms, and swam away quickly, and more colorful fish were like falling flowers, and they were sprinkled over to the two of them, Ling'er quickly grabbed the fish and had a lot of fun.

Suddenly, the wind was fierce, the water waves were rolling, and the sea that was still quiet just now was suddenly turbulent, and the fish scattered in all directions. Ling'er's face changed suddenly, and she blurted out, "It's not good." ”

I saw Xiang Zhuang patting his hands lightly and hitting the waves, his strength retreated, and the huge waves rolled, pushing his body and splashing towards the shore.

Ling'er was overjoyed, it turned out that Brother Xiang was so good at water, and he also learned from him with his strength.

At this moment, a huge force suddenly struck from behind, the two of them were caught off guard, and they were squeezed into the sky by the waves that rushed forward and after, and instantly fell into the huge waves, Ling'er had to cast a spell to remove the waves, but Xiang Zhuang was gone, invisible and invisible, and I don't know where to go.

Ling'er shouted in a panic: "Brother Xiang, Brother Xiang......" Except for the sound of the waves crashing, everything returned to calm.

Ling'er wondered if he had encountered a sea monster, twisted the water to avoid the water, swam to the depths of the sea, swam to the bottom of the water, and a dazzling light shot straight over, only to see a small palace built up by a crystal stone. The temple is surrounded by corals more than seven feet high, with sparse branches and dazzling brilliance.

Brother Xiang Mo was not caught here by the sea monster, Ling'er secretly guessed and swam towards the crystal palace. At this moment, red light flashed in front of her eyes, and with a fierce wind sound, it shot out towards her. Ling'er turned his head sideways to avoid it, it turned out to be the coral branch, Ling'er took out a feather fan, waved out a blooming lotus flower, and hit those coral branches, a large group of five-colored swimming fish were excited by the lotus, and they were frightened, stirring up a colorful flower rain under the water.

With a loud bang, the red light and the lotus flower were handed over, and they were suddenly split into a mess, those coral branches fell like rain, but they continued to shoot out, sometimes changing, sometimes narrow, sometimes round, sometimes separate and fierce, sometimes holding on to a group, and finally converged into a rapidly rotating red halo, from the inside to the outside, layer by layer, Ling'er's lotus rushed left and right, but the coral branches were endless, and they couldn't get rid of it for a while.

Ling'er thought to herself: "This water monster is very powerful, and it can't win for a while, so it's better to ask Brother Yu for help." Ling'er waved the lotus flower, jumped into the water, and surfaced.

Ling'er hurriedly returned to the villa, saw Xiang Yu and said: "Brother Yu, today Xiang Zhuang and I found that there is a sea behind Shenlong Mountain, where to play to the fullest, suddenly the wind is strong, Brother Xiang is gone, must have been plundered by the water monster, I swam to the bottom of the sea to find a crystal palace, think where the water monster is located, fight for a long time regardless of the winner or loser, I came to ask the eldest brother to help." ”

Xiang Yu was slightly shocked and said, "There is such a strange thing, take me quickly." "Take the sword and go with Ling'er.

Ling'er took Xiang Yu to the beach, only to see that the sea was sparkling, flashing with a colorful halo, and the two of them had no intention of looking at the sea scenery, they just wanted to rescue Xiang Zhuang. Ling'er took Xiang Yu to swim to the depths of the seabed, and sure enough, he saw the dazzling crystal palace, although there was no sunlight under the water, it was also reflected by the crystal layers of colored light, and all kinds of five-colored water tribes swam leisurely around there.

However, Xiang Yu's eyes didn't glance at the swimming fish, he just stared ahead in a daze, and after a long time, he blinked effortlessly.

He saw a scene that he will never forget in his life.
