There is less than a day left until the twenty-year covenant.

Lin'an Mansion is unprecedentedly lively.

The streets and alleys are overcrowded. Many people openly set up gambling stalls on the streets. People threw their emotions and wealth accumulated for 20 years on the streets of Lin'an Mansion, only hoping that this battle would bring them the long-awaited harvest.

The people of Lin'an, who are not from the rivers and lakes, also joined in the fun. They heard that an unprecedented event on the rivers and lakes that they had been waiting for for 20 years was about to be held on the banks of the West Lake, and they took to the streets to bet, hoping to take this opportunity to bring them unexpected gains.

The entire Lin'an Mansion has fallen into an unprecedented gamble. The gambling houses in Lin'an Province are overcrowded, and people line up to place bets from the door to the door of the next casino.

Those who couldn't squeeze into the gambling house chose the makeshift gambling stalls set up on the side of the road. However, there are some risks associated with such stalls. After all, the gambling house has a face, and the monk can't run the temple if he can run. But the gambling stalls are different, and their bankers can slip away at any time. At that time, in the vast rivers and lakes, where to find a stranger who had set up a stall and gambled on the streets of Lin'an.

However, the frenetic atmosphere is forgetful. All of them are in a frenzy, and the rush of time has made the crazy people completely ignore the risks.

The night before the Great War was destined to be sleepless.

The stars and moon were in the sky, and it was early in the morning. The streets and alleys of Lin'an Mansion are still full of heroes dancing with knives and sticks and plainly dressed Lin'an people. They waited anxiously in long queues, speculating about the outcome of tomorrow's battle and dividing their camps.

It's just that this time is different from twenty years ago.

This time, the camp was divided into three factions. In addition to the two factions that support Feng Conghu and Yun Conglong, there is also a faction that believes that the result of this battle of Fengyun is still a draw.

The controversy and madness in the dark night are nothing more than looking forward to the moment when the dawn light will light up and brighten the ending.

When the bell of the temple rings in the distant mountains.

It's dawn.

Almost all the people in Lin'an City flocked to the edge of the West Lake. The Jianghu people with knives, guns and sticks naturally relied on their strong bodies to occupy a favorable position. But when everyone was on their feet, problems inevitably came.

West Lake is too big!

Where will the two meet, and where will they begin this contest that has been waiting for 20 years?

People started arguing, and some even started placing bets.

At this time, someone in the crowd shouted: "You can see it if you stand on a high place!"

The crowd surged. All the people looked around, looking for the commanding heights in the West Lake.

At this time, someone shouted: "Go to Leifeng Tower!"

The man who shouted this thought he was smart, but he forgot that he was on the edge of the lake, and it was full of people, and there were dozens of gangs of more than 100 people. As soon as he shouted like this, it was naturally the people on the periphery who woke up first and rushed towards Leifeng Tower.

Li Xiaoqian and I were carried by the crowd, becoming two grains of sand and gravel that could not be voluntarily in the flow of people, and with the surge of people, we were squeezed in an unknown direction.

Seeing that he was about to reach Leifeng Pagoda, he suddenly heard another voice in the crowd: "There are people in the lake!"

All the people turned around, and Li Xiaoqian and I rushed towards the lake again. As soon as the crowd stood still, they couldn't wait to look into the lake.

At this time, two black dots were faintly visible on the misty lake. The black dots appear to be floating on the water, one after the other.

"The two predecessors of Fengyun are really unparalleled masters in the world. Someone in the crowd complimented.

"How so?" questioned someone in the crowd.

"You see, the two of them are floating on the water, driving side by side, and it is clearly the long-lost light power floating on the rivers and lakes. Someone in the crowd explained.

"Don't fucking drift, come over and compare!" someone in the crowd shouted.

I tiptoed to the middle of the lake. Through the early morning fog, I saw that the two black spots in the center of the lake were not close to each other. Luckily, two black dots were drifting in our direction. But it always keeps a certain distance, without the slightest hint of contact. I can't help but sigh that the master is really extraordinary!

After another moment. There are more and more people behind us, and when we look back, there are dense human heads, and we can't see the edge.

Two black dots are getting closer and closer. At this time, someone was impatient and shouted, "Come quickly!"

The voice came into the lake, and after a moment, I heard a black dot in the lake reply: "Here it is!"

The crowd rejoiced.

The battle of the storm that has been awaited for twenty years is finally coming.

People were looking forward to it, but the two black dots were moving so slowly that they could squeeze everyone's patience. Someone else began to shout and curse, and the impatience spread wildly through the crowd.

Sooner or later, it will come. It's just that it's not necessarily what people want it to be.

The black dot grew larger and larger, and two small boats could be vaguely seen, one person standing on each boat, as if with a hat, and rowing hard towards the shore.

"Who said you were floating on the water?" hahaha......" the crowd began to laugh.

After a while, the black dot was closer, only a few dozen meters from the shore. At this time, the sun rises, and the fog on the floating lake is getting lighter and lighter.

I put my feet on my feet, but I couldn't see what was ahead. Because, everybody in front of me lifted their feet. The cacophony of voices in the crowd came one after another, and the mood of the people could no longer be described in terms of impatience.

I tugged at Li Xiaoqian's gown and asked, "Do you see it?"

Li Xiaoqian struggled to hold on to his toes, his neck stretched longer than anything I had ever seen before, and he said, "Not yet, not yet, not yet." ”

"It's not Fengyun!"

Someone at the front of the crowd suddenly shouted. The man behind then made an explosion-like sound.

"Huh, do you see clearly?"

"What?!Who stirred up Lao Tzu's interest?!"

"Damn, I've been waiting for a long time!"

.......

All kinds of voices mingled, and the scene was chaotic. I leaned upwards and saw two small boats stopped in the water more than ten meters away, no longer moving forward......

I leaned over again, and saw a man standing in each of the boats, with a hat on his head, motionless. There seemed to be a writhing mass on the ship, blurry and unrecognizable......

I simply grabbed Li Xiaoqian's shoulder and jumped upward.

The horizon is suddenly wide!

I saw two fishermen standing in a daze on two small boats, and they parked the boat more than ten meters away from the shore, and in the fishing nets on the boat, the fish were jumping one after another, trying to break free.

A fisherman shouted at the top of his voice, "Do you all want to buy fish?"

"Who buys your stinky fish!"

"Get out of here! Don't delay the competition!"

"Damn it, believe it or not, Lao Tzu slaughtered you!"

.......

The scolding was overwhelming. The two fishermen looked at the group of fierce people on the shore and were shouting at them, so frightened that they quickly turned the bow of the boat and rowed towards the middle of the lake.

Empty rejoicing.

Empty waiting for a game.

Twenty years of agreement, a prosperous era of rivers and lakes that tens of millions of people have been waiting for, but after sunset, it completely sank into the endless dark night.

All sorts of emotions spread through the crowd. Some people scolded, some sighed, and some wept bitterly......

Wins, Losses, Draws...... The bettor should have had mixed feelings, but no one expected a fourth outcome.

The storm did not appear.

Many years later, when I think of this long-awaited battle again, and when I think of those people who are fanatically chasing after it, I am not only embarrassed, but also emotional. Things in the world are not as simple as we seem, and when everyone thinks they have exhausted all possibilities, the outcome is often beyond everyone's expectations.
