Chapter 39: Exploring the Wild Lake at Night
In Jinling County, after Zhou Qing got rid of the evil spirit of the Taoist priest, it was peaceful.
Five days later, Mo Fei took the old master to Jinling County, and in the evening of the same day, the county official Jin Nianhua prepared a table of sumptuous vegetarian dishes to catch the wind for the sky, and also called Zhou Qing to accompany him.
During the banquet, Zhou Qing described everything he knew about the wild lake in detail to Jiankong, and after finishing, he chatted with the old mage about other topics.
"Xiaoyou is so young and weak, and being able to have this experience is really admirable to Lao Fa. ”
"The seniors have won the award, and I am also lonely and helpless, and I have no advanced cultivation, because I don't want to live on the streets, I will find a place to live in the county. ”
Seeing Zhou Qing at the moment, Jiankong couldn't help but think of his apprentice who was about the same age as him, after a short conversation at the banquet just now, he found that his apprentice's cleverness was no worse than Zhou Qing, but in terms of behavior, life, experience and other aspects, he was not as good as the little Taoist priest in front of him.
"Archmage, I have prepared a room for you, you must be tired from coming here from a neighboring county, it is better to ......"
"Ten thousand laws are auspicious! Lord Jin doesn't need to worry about the old law, I still want to visit the wild lake tonight. Seeing the empty hands, he folded his hands in response, then looked at Zhou Qing and asked, "I don't know if I can bother Li Xiaoyou to lead the way for the old law?"
"If the seniors want to explore, the trail should lead the way. Zhou Qing replied, glanced at Jin Nianhua, nodded at him, and then led Jiankong out of the official office and went to Yehu Lake in the west of the city.
After a short time, the old law and young road came to the edge of the wild lake at night.
The two of them walked around the wild lake, and saw that the sky mage's face was full of doubts, because he didn't feel anything unusual in the lake when he went down to the ground.
"Li Xiaoyou, are you sure there are evil things in this lake?" Jiankong turned his puzzled gaze to Zhou Qing.
Hearing this question, Zhou Qing knew that the other party did not see anything unusual in the lake, and immediately replied in a firm tone: "The younger generation has seen two newly dead evil spirits before, both of which are spirits, and their bodies are surrounded by blue rays, and they are all related to this lake. ”
"Well, wait for me ......"
Seeing that Master Kong was about to respond to Zhou Qing, halfway through his words, he hurriedly stopped the words of the exit, and stopped Zhou Qing from taking a few steps back to the lake before stopping.
"Senior, what's wrong with you?" Zhou Qing asked puzzled when he saw this.
"Didn't you hear that voice just now?" Jiankong said this inexplicably, and said to Zhou Qing, "Li Xiaoyou, there is indeed a trick in this lake, you should stay away." ”
Just when he saw that he wanted to respond to Zhou Qing's words, a voice condensed into thoughts, and the word 'roll' shouted angrily came into his mind, so the old mage hurriedly pulled Zhou Qing away from the lake.
Although Zhou Qing, who was retreating, did not hear the word 'roll' formed by his thoughts, he also felt the abnormality from the old mage's series of actions just now and the contrast between the front and back.
Retreating to a big tree more than ten feet away from the lake, Zhou Qing stopped, and then looked at the Sky Mage who was still standing by the lake.
I saw that the old mage had half-stripped the robe on his body and tied it around his waist, and then clinged to it in front of him with both hands, and slammed the ground with the soles of his feet.
After a few breaths, his originally somewhat thin figure grew at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon became extremely strong, and at the same time, on the outside of his strong body, there was a circle of golden light.
In addition to this series of changes, behind the old mage, there was also an extremely vague and illusory Golden Venerable Arhat body.
As the so-called Dao Tibetan 3,000, each cultivating its own way, this old mage's battle technique is completely different from the battle technique of the Tianyi faction.
Most of the techniques of the Tianyi faction are based on the power of the spirit to control the heaven and the earth, but at present, this old mage is guided by the spirit, gathering the power of heaven and earth in his own body, and fighting evil with his body.
After seeing that the empty mage cast this spell, it aroused Zhou Qing's strong curiosity, this was the first time he had seen this kind of magic that gathered the power of heaven and earth in his body, so he wanted to see how this old mage would fight with the existence in the lake that he had not yet seen in the lake.
I saw that the old mage's strong body at this time was clenched with his palms, he raised his foot and slashed towards the ground, and Zhou Qing, who was more than ten zhang away, instantly felt the vibration from the ground.
At the same time, he saw the calm surface of the lake, which had no waves, and under the foot of the old mage, huge ripples were made in circles.
After chopping it out, he saw the empty figure move and jumped into the lake.
"Hey, this old-timer is good. Seeing the golden-bodied mage who jumped off the wild lake, Zhou Qing secretly praised it in his heart.
Regarding the matter of the old mage jumping directly into the lake, Zhou Qing guessed that there were two possibilities, one was reckless, without thinking about it in the brain. The other is to rely on yourself and not worry about your safety this time.
Although Zhou Qing and Jiankong only had a casual conversation at the dinner table just now, from his words and deeds, it can be seen that Jiankong is not a reckless person.
Therefore, Zhou Qing was not too worried about him jumping into the lake, but he stared at the lake more curiously, wanting to see what would happen next.
The mage jumped into the lake, making a splash, and the undulations of the lake slowly subsided.
After a dozen or so breaths, the surface of the lake, covered with green duckweed, calmed down completely, and the ripples dissipated without the slightest ripple.
Seeing this, Zhou Qing, who was standing more than ten zhang away from the lake, couldn't help but move, and slowly took a few steps towards Yehu.
When he took four or five steps forward, the calm lake not far away shook violently, and then the lake water seemed to be squeezed by an invisible force, shaking above the lake, and then falling violently, splashing Zhou Qing's whole body wet.
Just as the lake water dispersed to the surface of the lake, there was a sound of breaking water on the turbulent lake, and then a golden figure rushed out of the lake, jumped in the air, and jumped to the edge of the lake.
This golden figure was the same as the sky that had just jumped into the lake, and when he jumped out of the wild lake, there was a sound of iron chains pulling from the bottom of the lake.
Seeing such a scene, Zhou Qing retreated under the big tree once, he glanced at the sky, and saw that he was still a golden mang's body at this time, and his body was still strong and matchless, and the golden Arhat phantom behind him was more conspicuous than before he jumped off the lake just now.
From this, it can be seen that the old mage went down to the lake without any serious problems.
Immediately, Zhou Qing moved his gaze to the undulating surface of the lake again, because just now he heard the sound of iron chains coming from the bottom of the lake, so the existence at the bottom of the lake that he had never seen before was about to reveal its true face.
After the sound of the chain, a whirlpool appeared in the center of the wild lake, and the whirlpool expanded rapidly as soon as it appeared, and at the same time, below the whirlpool, a dark green light appeared.
With the appearance of the ghostly light, in the center of the whirlpool, a black coffin was strangely lifted from the bottom of the lake and rose above the lake.
As far as the eye can see, the coffin is wrapped around an iron chain, the ends of which hang down from the lake, and an ancient sword can be seen inserted into the coffin lid.
