Huayuan County, the county is not famous, but the Baishui River is very famous.

Whether it is the King of Lei Yan or the Temple of Lei Gong, they all add a little color to this place. When Yu Zhenyi and his group arrived here, the people on both sides of the Baishui River were warmly welcoming them.

The elders of the Sunset Sect seemed to be very familiar with the people of Baishui River, and they went up to talk.

Yu Zhenyi was on the side, looking at the bridge over the Baishui River, this stone bridge is called "pontoon bridge", which means that it will never sink. But recently, the water level has been high, and I heard that the dragon is about to turn over and walk across the pontoon bridge.

In the past, there was a dragon slaying sword, and if the dragon dared to come, it would be cut off.

Not to mention swimming across this bridge, even if you look at it from afar, you will be injured by the sword qi. The dragon slaying sword, forged, is for the purpose of slaying the dragon.

Caiyun is on the side, no different from an ordinary maidservant. In fact, if she could, she should help Yu Zhenyi hold the real martial sword. After all, on the mountain, there are always some monks who like to bring sword-hugging maids or sword-serving boys.

It's a pity that the real martial sword suppresses the ghosts too much.

Caiyun doesn't want to talk about hugging, but if he gets closer, he will have severe pain in his soul.

Taking advantage of this time, Caiyun asked softly: "Childe, that Jiaolong has devoured the remnants of the white dragon's luck, why don't you run away and stay here to bring disaster to the people on both sides of the strait?"

Yu Zhenyi suddenly thought of something, and touched Caiyun's face: "You are so smart that you actually asked such a question." ”

Caiyun was stunned for a moment, is there anything unusual about her own question? She is a lonely ghost, so she naturally wants to avoid those monks. In the past, when the temple was broken, although it was protected by an old willow tree, he didn't dare to go out.

After taking the treasure, he should naturally hide and cultivate.

Why does this Baishui River Jiaolong still make waves and find someone to surround and kill, Caiyun really doesn't understand.

Yu Zhenyi pulled her aside and gently explained the reason to her.

It is related to the dragon, and it has more to do with the snake, and the Jiao is actually the big snake that has achieved success in cultivating in the mountains. The snake cultivates for a hundred years and becomes a dragon, and the dragon is transformed into a dragon after a thousand years of cultivation. Most of the great snakes that have been cultivated in the mountains for thousands of years have already possessed spirituality.

And in order to cultivate Jackie Chan, it takes a lot of calamities to succeed. The most chosen way to cultivate is to enter the sea and turn into dragons, and the way they enter the sea is the aforementioned way to go to the river.

Generally, when the rivers in those places in the mountains rise in the summer, some dragons in the ground will take advantage of the flood to walk along the river. Some of them have dragged down a lot of bridges, houses, and farmlands along the way, and some of them will be killed by lightning.

As long as you walk through the place of Jiao, you can see that the moss and soil that grow in the river are clean, after the flood recedes, you can see at a glance that Jiao started to walk out from there, although I have not seen Jiaolong go to the river, but I have seen the river after walking the river with my own eyes.

A river, from the beginning of the Jiaojiao place is a clear demarcation, the lower reaches of the river, looks white, as if someone has specially cleaned up, the stones are showing new traces, in the dividing line, the upstream of the river, or the same weeds are weeds, the moss on the stones are still there, an obvious demarcation line.

In fact, Jiaolong walking the river is only a southern saying, and this name is extremely popular.

And many people in the north call the behavior of the snake entering the sea as a "running dragon". Because most of the spiritual creatures born from the snake Jiao are cultivating in the mountains and forests. Jackie Chan is waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity that allows them to take the opportunity to enter the river and follow the waves into the sea. Either torrential rain or flash floods, this is the best time to go.

There is a lot of water in the south, so it is called "Jiaolong walks the river", while the north is more arid and there are many mountains, so it is called "running the dragon".

Hearing this, Caiyun understood a little, and she suddenly exclaimed: "Then this Jiaolong, now that it wants to go to the river, doesn't it mean that its realm has broken through again........?"

The latter words, Caiyun did not say, but the master and servant both knew.

Treading the waves, riding the wind, and then it is the opening of the river.

If that dragon crosses this "pontoon bridge", it will really be a carp jumping over the dragon gate and becoming a demon in the third step in one fell swoop. When the time comes, it will be absolutely impossible to stop him with just a Sunset Sect.

Yu Zhenyi raised his head and looked at Du Xiang, the sect leader of the Sunset Sect, who was still chatting with the people of Baishuihe, not realizing the seriousness of the problem at all. He hesitated for a moment, and then came to the pontoon bridge with the colored clouds, and the water level visible to the naked eye had already submerged the bottom of the bridge.

The stones on which people washed their clothes were submerged.

Yu Zhenyi walked to the center of the bridge, looked down, frowned, and said, "There should have been a sword hanging here, but now it's gone." ”

Caiyun looked down and saw that the bridge was a little high, and the water was bottomless, which made him a little scared.

At the bottom of the bridge, the dragon sword (folk name) is hung, and if you look at it from the perspective of legend, this kind of dragon sword has a lot of customs and exquisiteness. In the past, people would say that natural accidents such as river flooding were caused by monsters, and that there were dragons in the river, and these dragons would be extremely destructive when they were angry.

And building a bridge over the river will make Jiaolong unhappy. When they are not happy, they will make waves and destroy bridges. Therefore, at the bottom of the bridge, hang an iron sword, which can deter the dragon and make these monsters dare not make a mistake.

This saying is widely spread among the people and has become a part of the folk customs, so when people build bridges, they will consider hanging an iron sword, although not every river has monsters, but this practice gives people great psychological comfort.

At Whitewater, this is not a psychological comfort, but a practical one. The Dragon Slaying Sword suppressed the corpse of the white dragon at the bottom of the Baishui River, so that it could not make waves. But recently, the sword was taken.

Yu Zhenyi is very curious, who is so lacking in morality?

You must know that the dragon slaying sword hanging under the bridge has other functions besides suppressing the dragon.

From the point of view of practical application, this iron sword is an important reference for the water level, the position of the iron sword hanging, generally the apex of the arch bridge, the season is different, the river will appear in the wet period and the dry period, the boat will judge the depth of the river through the distance between the iron sword and the river surface, determine the current water flow conditions, whether there is danger.

This kind of judgment can be intuitively judged with the naked eye, and although it is not as accurate as measurement, it is very efficient and very low-cost. Therefore, experienced boatmen will choose to judge the water level by iron swords to ensure safe travel.

Therefore, whether in folklore or in terms of practical use, this small iron sword has a very important role. Therefore, the local population will not consider taking the iron sword for themselves.

This dragon slaying sword is just a restraint on monsters like dragons, and it is not very lethal to other monks.

In that case, why did the Sword Immortal take it?

Yu Zhenyi didn't understand.

The sword has always had the reputation of "the king of a hundred soldiers, the weapon of a gentleman".

The swordsman, the decision, the break. It must be decided within the seven feelings, cut off the mortal breath, and the inner three treasures can be turbid and as for the pure yang, this is the foundation of sword science, and the inner shell is solid and solid.

Especially when the outside is discouraged, the sound is broken, coupled with the strange change of moves, with the practice of the evening and the sunset, the outer three treasures can be formed, and as for the softness, in addition, the secret practice of swordsmanship, the shell is injected and stable. As for the sword learned in recent times, those who dance with the sword are all fur in the fur, and those who float to the shallow and despised.

Yu Zhenyi was on the "pontoon bridge", feeling the remnants of the dragon sword.

At this moment, he suddenly felt the bridge shake a little, and he came back to his senses from his contemplation.

Caiyun on the side hurriedly grabbed his shoulder, and said in a trembling voice: "Childe, look!"

Yu Zhenyi looked down, and a huge black shadow appeared at the bottom of the river. But no one showed up except for them, as the shadows were moving slowly. It's just a little bit of the river, and it's quiet.

Yu Zhenyi felt that this black shadow had no malicious intent, so he didn't alarm the people, but just saw the black shadow swimming slowly under the bridge. It wasn't until a long time before it disappeared.

Caiyun couldn't stand on his feet anymore: "Childe, I'm most afraid of these underwater and invisible things." ”

Although she has the body of a female ghost, she feels like she is going to suffocate. In the water, the dragon only showed a little of its body, which was even more terrifying than all of it. Caiyun is afraid of the water, and also of the bottomless lakes and seas.

Yu Zhenyi supported her and slowly walked off the bridge.

By the Baishui River, few monks from the Sunset Sect noticed the changes on Yu Zhenyi's side. It was Lou Er, a young man with inconvenient legs and feet, who glanced at Yu Zhenyi meaningfully, and seemed to have noticed something.

Yu Zhenyi was silent, took Caiyun, and stood aside.

Sect Master Du Xiang was talking loudly at this time: "Fellow villagers, within hundreds of miles, there is only one cultivation sect in my Sunset Sect. This time the evil dragon is making waves, and my Sunset Sect will definitely not sit idly by. From this day on, we live in the Baishui River, waiting for the dragon to appear. ”

The people cheered loudly and invited the monks to live in their homes.

Du Xiang smiled slightly, and under the arrangement of the Baishuihe speaker, he lived in a nearby courtyard. Yu Zhenyi and them were the same, and they followed behind one after another. Not only that, but the people offered many things.

There are silver taels, and there are treasures.

Don't look at the Sunset Sect as a cultivation sect, but it costs a lot of money to practice. The real money sent by the people was all under Du Xiang. Anyway, in recent years, the wind and rain in the south of the Tang Dynasty have been smooth, and these people have a lot of savings in their families.

Of course, these silver taels, Yu Zhenyi and the other two scattered cultivators, can't get them.

The initiators of this Dragon Slaying Conference, but the Sunset Sect, naturally want to take the lion's share.

However, Du Xiang, the sect leader of the Sunset Sect, still knows how to be a person, so he found the three waves of scattered cultivation and made an agreement. Real money, Sunset Zongna. As for the treasure on the dragon, it depends on who has the ability.

Another pair of Sword Immortal Daoists, as well as two brothers on the first floor of the building, have no objections.

It's such a day.

Yu Zhenyi has no opinion, he came this time just to hone himself. And not for what baby.

But there are two things that make him feel uncomfortable. One is the pair of Sword Immortal Daoists, who live next door to Yu Zhenyi, and from time to time there are tragic "battle sounds". Yu Zhenyi was very curious, why did the female sword immortal, who looked so dignified on weekdays, scream so miserably at night?

The point is, he sounds, not yet annoying,

Caiyun on the side saw Childe's appearance, covered his mouth and laughed, and asked, "Childe, do you want me to help you?"

Yu Zhenyi shook his head and refused, only hoping that the female sword immortal would not scream so painfully and comfortably.

Another unpleasant thing is that he has been dreaming a lot lately.

In the dream, it was dark and dreary, as if the mountain rain was coming. A black-clothed young man stood far away from Yu Zhenyi, and he didn't speak, just looked at him. What made Yu Zhenyi feel uncomfortable was that the young man actually had a pair of golden pupils!

Those golden pupils knew at a glance that they didn't belong to humans.
