Dabai walked to the river, untied the rope that bound the stake, and skillfully pushed the boat out. He then jumped onto the splint in two or three steps, steadying the hull of the boat on the rocking water.

Ling Jiang also climbed onto the boat, but his movements were obviously not as skilled as Da Bai. He stood at the bow of the boat and watched Da Bai start to swing the oars, saying that it was impossible not to panic, after all, he was so big, and he had never seen what the river demon looked like.

"Brother Bai rushed!"

At this moment, Chen Baohan on the riverbank held the little black dog and waved at Dabai on the boat, without the slightest worry on his face.

"Don't worry, Sister Ya'er, Brother Bai is a master, probably so tall!" Chen Baohan gestured with her hand over her head, she thought about it, and hurriedly lowered it by half a foot, "No, it should be so high, it was Uncle Jiu's just now." ”

Ya'er looked at Chen Baohan's quirky little girl, and couldn't help but want to laugh, but she couldn't laugh, and secretly prayed in her heart that Ling Jiang would not do anything.

The boatman sitting in the courtyard was still silently sipping tea, and his hand holding the teacup was trembling slightly.

The Tonghai River is ten zhang wide, and after a while, the two of them will go out three or four zhang, and the water is constantly rising mist, and the Lingjiang River standing at the bow of the boat only sees a hazy color, and from time to time there is a breeze with the smell of the river water.

Ling Jiang didn't dare to think nonsense, his eyes looked around at the water, and he was full of energy. I don't know if the river demon will really appear in a while, and he will be able to remember how to punch.

"Are you scared?" Da Bai asked, looking at Ling Jiang while swinging his oars.

Ling Jiang turned around and didn't reply. It's still the same familiar question, but the boy is no longer the same boy he once was, it's just ......

In fact, Da Bai also knew that it was superfluous for him to ask this, if Ling Jiang was really afraid, he would have stayed on the shore honestly a long time ago, how could he get on this thief ship with him?

Rushing......

When the boat was about to sail to the middle of the river, Ling Jiang suddenly heard a loud splash. I saw that there was a column of water on the surface of the river that was constantly spraying up a foot high, and this jet of water surrounded their boat from all directions, and after a while, the board of the boat was also constantly shaking, Ling Jiang hurriedly grabbed the board of the boat, so it was not thrown out.

"Here we are!" he shouted, and the moment he let go of the oars, he drew the sword behind him, and he came to the bow of the boat with a leap of stride, standing on the edge of the boat with both feet and the sword in his right hand, and at this moment he could be thrown into the water with a slight push.

Ling Jiang didn't dare to step forward, he stood honestly in the middle of the boat, what could he do as a non-mainstream practitioner to help? It was already very good not to cause trouble for Da Bai, so he still didn't understand why Da Bai insisted on pulling him on the boat.

Rumble!

said that it was too late, and then quickly, a column of rushing water burst out, tall and tall!

Countless splashes of water were like raindrops, crackling and slapping on the board, and the clothes of the two of them felt like beans slapping on their bodies, and it hurt a little.

The water column dispersed, and the river demon still did not appear, but Da Bai was already holding a piece of yellow talisman paper in his left hand, and his right hand lifted the three-foot green peak, as if he was ready to go. I saw him flick the copy in his hand forward, and when he heard a pop, the rune paper ignited a flame in the air. Da Bai then stabbed forward with a sword, and the tip of the sword passed through the rune paper as if it were smashing the Yellow Dragon.

Da Bai's left hand and sword finger rested on the spine of the sword, seeing that the rune paper was about to burn out, he held his breath, and the tiger's body slashed a sword into the surface of the watery river.

There was no gorgeous sword light, nor an overwhelming roaring vision, just a wisp of rustic sword qi, glowing with a faint light yellow, silently plunged into the river.

Gollum......

The sword qi submerged in the water, only a few blisters were stirred, and soon the river surface was calm.

"Is this the end?" Ling Jiang was stunned at the moment, thinking to himself that Da Bai's sword has not made any difference, it is like when he was in the old Dragon King Temple, making a little noise, even if he can't kill the river demon, how can he say that he will not lose to others in terms of momentum.

Just when Ling Jiang was puzzled, the boat board suddenly swayed from side to side several times, Ling Jiang did not stand firm and fell on the boat, just as he was glad that he did not fall into the water, two huge waves surged on the river, covering the clouds like a mountain of water, wrapping the boat from both sides.

Ling Jiang looked up, and saw a black figure hidden in the huge waves on the right, covered with scales, it didn't look like a human, but it didn't look like a fish, it was almost the same as a fish-man spirit.

Then, a fish's mouth slowly stretched out from the huge waves, and in the blink of an eye, the fish's mouth had already opened a person's height, which made Ling Jiang's heart tremble.

Once the waves fall, the mouth of the fish can swallow the whole person into its stomach. It's no wonder that the boatman is so afraid, even Ling Jiang feels overwhelmed at this time, is this a guy that people can deal with?

"Two more lads were buried......" The boatman looked at the huge waves rising in the middle of the river, and wrapped the boat tightly. Although he couldn't see what was going on inside, he could already guess that the end would be that there would be no bones left, and only a boat would be left alone on the river. He had seen this meeting more than once.

Brush!

At this moment, a brilliant sword light flashed out from the huge waves in the middle of the river, and in this gloomy world, this sword light was particularly dazzling. The sword light split the huge waves, and the two huge waves that were higher than the boat smashed down with a bang, causing waves, and it was like a heavy rain in the middle of the river, and the clothes of Da Bai and Ling Jiang were all wet.

"This ...... How could that be?" the boatman stood up with his teacup in his hand, and looked in horror at the fathead fish, which had been split in two, the size of a man.

"Is this the so-called River Demon?" Ling Jiang muttered in a low voice, his mind constantly recalling what had just happened.

It's too fast.

He just saw a ray of sword light, and then it burst like a silver bottle bursting through the slurry, and the huge waves in the sky turned into a torrential rain and overwhelmingly came. And that black shadow also inadvertently turned into a fish, a huge and strange-shaped fish.

Da Bai put away his sword and walked in front of Ling Jiang, and said in a deep voice, "Cultivation, it's not just child's play, if you want to embark on this road, I won't stop you, I just want you to know that life and death are often only in your thoughts." ”

"Great white ......," Ling Jiang muttered in a low voice, looking back at the figure returning from rowing, and then glancing at the corpse of the river demon that was going down the river, his heart feeling quite heavy.

"Brother Bai!" Da Bai docked the boat, and Chen Baohan greeted him with a smile, "I knew you would definitely be able to kill that river demon." ”

Da Bai looked at her and nodded, and at the same time stopped Ya'er, who was about to catch up with the boat, and shook his head, "Let him be alone for a while." ”

Ya'er stared at the young man sitting quietly at the bow of the boat, feeling a little uneasy, but under Dabai's stern gaze, she had no choice but to nod and follow him back to the courtyard.

Da Bai returned to the yard, and the boatman's wife handed the towel to Da Bai to dry his hair, and the boatman also followed to meet him, and dragged Da Bai and the others to eat dinner here before leaving.

It is strange to say that Da Bai did not allow anyone to go on the boat to disturb Ling Jiang, but just said that he would stay there and think about something clearly, and when he figured it out, he would naturally get off the boat. Just looking at the figure of him sitting alone on the bow of the boat, he looked a little lonely.

Dabai found a stool and sat down, took a sip of ginger syrup, and glanced at the young man on the bow of the boat, "It's a long way to Chang'an, and I can't always be by my side to protect you, if you can't get through this hurdle, Chang'an won't have to go." ”

"Brother Bai, how did you know that the river demon couldn't beat you? Chen Baohan asked next to Dabai. The boatman also polished his eyes when he heard this, and he was very curious about where the young man in front of him got his confidence, and he dared to raise his sword to slay the demon after listening to the words for a moment.

If it was the courage of the horseman, he would definitely not believe it. If Da Bai was really such a person, then he would have died a long time ago.

Da Bai then explained that as soon as he heard the boatman say that the river demon still maintained the habit of not becoming a refinement, he knew that he had definitely not cultivated to the transformation stage, at most he was just a little demon who had been condensing the pill stage, but for all qi practitioners who were above the four realms, it was not a problem to kill this river demon, the difficulty was to force the river demon out, otherwise it would hide in the river, even if the qi practitioners of the five realms came, they could only stand on the riverside and stare dryly.

As for the boatman's question about how Da Bai forced the river demon to appear, he pretended not to hear. Some things can be said clearly, but some things are not humane, they are their own means, and naturally they cannot be easily revealed.

"Brother Bai, I understand the realm of Qi Practitioners, this Sister Ya'er told me, but what about the Transformation Period and the Ning Dan Period you mentioned?" Chen Baohan asked.

Da Bai glanced at her, and then said, "The number of cultivation paths of the demon clan is not the same as ours, so the division of the realm is naturally different. As the name suggests, the transformation period is a demon that can transform into a human form, which is equivalent to the strength of a Qi practitioner in the Six Realms, and even I am not an opponent. And the condensing period is the condensation of the demon pill monsters, and the strength is equivalent to the four realms of qi practitioners, and then the psychic period is the psychic period, which can rival the two realms of qi practitioners. ”

"So that the river demon has already condensed the demon pill?" Chen Baohan exclaimed, "I heard that the demon pill is a treasure, Brother Bai, have you taken it?"

Da Bai shook his head, "How can it be so easy? That river demon is not easy to capture alive in the water, he has already self-destroyed the demon pill before he died, I can't stop it if I want to, if I fight on the shore, I may be able to try to take the pill." Moreover, although this demon pill is very rare, people can't swallow it raw, unless it is refined into an elixir, it is useless to get it in your hands. ”

Chen Baohan asked, "What will happen if you swallow it raw?"

"Will die. Da Bai said these two words seriously, she suddenly felt a chill behind her back, and closed her mouth honestly.

"Brother Dabai, my son-in-law ...... him," Ya'er couldn't help but ask, "I'm afraid that he will catch a cold in wet clothes." ”

"Rest assured, he doesn't get sick that easily. Da Bai shook his head and glanced at Ling Jiang, a quarter of an hour had passed, and looking at his appearance, he still didn't seem to have any thoughts.

At this moment, Ling Jiang's mind has been showing the appearance of the river demon when it appeared, like a nightmare.

"So this is the demon ...... When I go to Chang'an, I don't know how many goblins and ghosts I will encounter, can I really make it to Chang'an alive?" Ling Jiang's heart trembled slightly. No wonder he had heard such a sentence before, ten scholars went to Chang'an to catch the exam, and only one or two could come back alive.

They may not even have seen what the mayor of Chang'an City looks like, so they completely died in the middle of the road.

Or died of illness, or fell to death, or was killed by the mountain spirit.

"Am I afraid of death?" Ling Jiang muttered softly, "Maybe, who is not afraid of death when ...... is born?"

As early as in the Old Dragon King Temple, he once asked himself how to face the word death. There are many answers, but for a long time, he has been avoiding this word, or maybe there are always too many people around him to protect him, Da Bai, Miss Xi Yao, Mr. Su......

"And now?" Ling Jiang said with a wry smile.

Suddenly, a witty word came into his ears: "Don't worry, I will protect you and won't let you die......"
