Yulong River is also known as Yulong River, according to legend, Mr. Lingjun, a great writer of the previous dynasty, once encountered a jade dragon falling from the sky here.

The jade dragon is thousands of feet long, the whole body is transparent, like glass, circling around the Wuma Peak three times here, and suddenly leaned down and flew down, asking Mr. Lingjun for the truth of heaven and earth. This question is three days, a dragon and a person here nine questions and nine answers, the jade dragon finally came to his senses, and returned by the clouds.

Thirty years later, the world was in turmoil, and the seven masters of the Northern Demon Gate joined forces to go south and led an army of 30,000 to surround Mr. Lingjun's entire clan in the Tiger Hill Sword Pond. At that time, Mr. Lingjun thought that he would die, and left a suicide note, preparing to entangle the seven masters of the Demon Gate alone and fight for a way of life for the whole clan.

Unexpectedly, on the day of the battle between the two sides, the jade dragon suddenly fell from the sky, and a breath of cold air froze for ten miles, freezing the seven masters of the Demon Gate into powder, and the 30,000 army was slaughtered. After this battle, the foundation of the Demon Gate was greatly damaged, not only was it unable to invade the south, but it was also unable to control the situation in the north, and after 20 years, it was finally expelled from the Central Plains by Buddhism and went to the outside of the Saiwai.

Since then, Mr. Lingjun's encounter with the dragon has been widely known, and the name of the dragon river is known all over the world.

The water of the Yulong River is extremely quiet and slow.

People on the water boat, as if walking on the mirror in general, the reflection is visible, it is a famous resort in the world, the tourists are weaving on weekdays, but at this time it is late, there is only a small canopy boat on the river downstream.

There is an old boatman sitting in the bow of the canopy, with a stove next to him boiling fish, and there are two Taoist priests standing at the stern, one tall and one short, both wearing bright yellow Taoist robes, and their faces seem to be a little gloomy, these two Taoist priests are Zhang Mingzhi and Zhao Mingzhen of Tianlongmen.

Zhao Mingzhen looked down at himself in the water, then looked up at Zhang Mingzhi beside him, and suddenly asked, "Senior brother, why didn't you let me tell me about the Wujin dagger when I was in Tianxiang Pavilion today?"

Zhang Mingzhi looked at the sky with his hands in his hands, and said softly: "It is not beneficial to you and me to say this, and it is harmless to you and me if you don't say this, so why do you want to say it?"

"Please also elaborate on the senior brother. ”

"If the master of the door was killed by Lu Jianshan, then he denied it today, because he didn't want to tell the truth, if you and I forced him to admit it, he would inevitably not do anything to you and me in a hurry. If the master of the door is really not killed by Lu Jianshan, it means that the praying mantis catches the cicada, the yellow finch is behind, and there are masters behind him, who want to secretly disadvantage him, you and my brother have been forced to retreat by him today, and there is no intention of the dispute between the Taoist masters, so why help him solve this matter?"

"What my brother said is extremely true, but I am too reckless. ”

"Alas, today's withdrawal from the battle of the Taoist lord has made me let go of the burden in my heart, but unfortunately there is no wine on the ship, so I will not have to drink with my junior brother. ”

The two were talking, and a bamboo raft suddenly sailed out of the harbor in front of them, rowing a young man in Tsing Yi, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, seven feet tall, with a green bamboo in his hand as an oar, and two large jars of wine beside him, separated by three or four zhang away, and also smelled the fragrance of wine.

Zhao Mingzhen's eyes lit up and shouted, "Little brother, is the wine on the ship sold?"

The young man in Tsing Yi smiled slightly: "If you don't sell it, what will you do with it?"

As he spoke, the young man in Tsing Yi put the pulp on the canopy and pasted it onto the canopy boat.

Zhao Mingzhen smiled, flew on the bamboo raft, scooped up the wine and tasted it, and couldn't help but praise: "It's really a good wine!"

The young man in Tsing Yi said with a smile: "The price is not mentioned for the time being, I came out early, and I am a little hungry, I see that you have some food on the ship, why don't you and I eat and drink, and then talk about the price." ”

Zhao Mingzhen laughed, and only said that the young man in Tsing Yi wanted to ask for more silver, so he asked them to ask for the price after eating and drinking, which is also common among the traders, so he didn't think it was strange at all, and carried two large jars of wine and gently returned to the canopy boat.

The young man in Tsing Yi saw him flying back, and the hull of the boat didn't shake, and he couldn't help shouting: "The Taoist is so handsome!"

The young man in Tsing Yi tied the bamboo raft to the stern of the boat, walked gently into the black canopy, and sat cross-legged with Zhang and Zhao, sitting in front of an iron pot.

The big-headed carp boiled in the pot is the old boatman's suitable fishing, after some skillful cooking, the fragrance is overflowing, as soon as the pot is revealed, there is a fragrance to the face.

Zhang and Zhao lifted the bamboo chopsticks and took a few bites of fish, which was really delicious, and the young man in Tsing Yi was not polite, picked up the wooden spoon, and scooped a big bowl of soup with fish.

After eating and drinking a big bowl of broth, the young man in Tsing Yi let out a long breath, poured two large bowls of wine, handed them to Zhang and Zhao, poured himself a big bowl, and raised his head to drink.

Zhao Mingzhen took a few big sips and said with a smile: "Little brother is also massive, but this wine is really good." ”

Zhang Mingzhi listened to his praise, tasted a few sips, and said: "This wine has a mellow taste, and it is not made by the people of the mountain savages." ”

The young man in Tsing Yi gave a thumbs up and said: "The Taoist chief really has good eyesight, this wine is a treasure in the Xianyun Building in Qingyang Mansion, and it is not taken out, just because he wants to send off distinguished guests, so he has to be a gentleman on the back beam." ”

Zhao Mingzhen was stunned and said, "I don't know who the little brother is talking about?"

The young man in Tsing Yi smiled and said, "In addition to Zhang and Zhao, who else can they be?"

Zhang Mingzhi put down the wine bowl and said, "It turns out that the little brother is specially waiting for our senior brother here, but I don't know the little brother's name?"

The young man in Tsing Yi said: "Don't tell lies in front of real people, in Xiabaicheng, just because there is a deal to do, I specially wait for the two Taoist masters here." ”

Zhang Mingzhi said: "But I don't know what kind of deal it is?"

Bai Cheng said: "Two lives in exchange for a bag of stones, I don't know what this deal can do?"

Zhao Mingzhen sneered and said, "I don't know whose life it is, what stone will it be for?"

Bai Cheng said: "Life is naturally the life of the two, as for the stone, I don't know the word reading stone, have the two Taoist leaders ever heard it?"

Zhao Mingzhen pulled out his sword and shouted: "Your Excellency has eaten the gall of a bear's heart and a leopard, and you dare to pretend to be a ghost in front of my brother." ”

Zhang Mingzhi stretched out his hand to stop it, and said: "Nian Shi is a secret thing of my Dao Gate, but I don't know where Your Excellency learned about Nian Shi, if you can tell the truth, the poor Dao master will give one to the little brother, you must know that although the cultivation of relying on Nian Shi is fast, but it is extremely difficult to suppress the hearts of all the people, and it will take at least a year to absorb one, and it is useless for the little brother to ask for more." ”

Bai Cheng listened to Zhang Mingzhi speak, and couldn't help but be sure in his heart, he didn't know whether the Nian Stone was unique to the Xuangui Hall, or it was widely spread within the Daomen, so he mentioned it in front of the two of them today, just to test the reaction of the two, and now seeing that the two of them admitted that there was indeed this thing, he put his mind at ease, only a little puzzled, that is, for some reason, Zhang and Zhao said that it would take a year to absorb one, and he could absorb all the bags of Nian Shi in one day?

Bai Cheng was thinking in his heart, and Zhao Mingzhen on the side couldn't hold it back, and with a "whoosh" sound, a sword slashed.

Bai Cheng was in the black peng, and it was inconvenient to dodge, so he stretched out his right hand and flicked the sword away with a flick of his middle finger.

Zhao Mingzhen wanted to do it again, but he felt that his whole body was weak, he couldn't sit still anymore, he was paralyzed on the ground, he still couldn't believe it, and he drank in his mouth: "There is poison in the wine!"

Bai Cheng said leisurely: "Daochang Zhao is too anxious, it's just a little drug, and Daochang Zhang is calmer than you." ”

Zhang Mingzhi also sighed lightly on the side, and said: "Be careful of the poor road, you are also on the road, but I don't know why the little brothers drank together, but they were not poisoned?"

Bai Cheng said: "I have already taken the antidote when I calculated the time. ”

Zhang Mingzhi said: "I see" said that, and slowly fell down and lay down.

Seeing the two lying down, Bai Cheng bent down, and in his close place, he found two skins, opened them, and saw that there were a few round pebbles each, but the color and shape were slightly different from those on Sun Daohai's body.

The old boatman saw that he was drinking in the cabin, and suddenly it was a sword and a poison, and he was already so frightened that he couldn't possess his body, and when he saw Bai Cheng coming out, he thought he was going to take his life, so he quickly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Bai Cheng smiled lightly, threw it casually, and a silver ingot of fifty taels had smashed on the bow of the ship, and said: "The two of them are my old acquaintances, but there is some misunderstanding, so I use some means to make the two of them fall asleep, if no one is alarmed, how can it take seven or eight days to wake up, you will go down the river from now on, and when they wake up, say hello to them for me." ”

After that, Bai Cheng lightly totoed, floated down the bamboo raft, untied the cable, rowed the oars, and headed in the direction of Qingyang Mansion.
