The sun is shining and the breeze is blowing.

By the clear river, several horses are treading the water, and the splashes reflect a beautiful luster in the sunlight.

Several young men and women in brocade clothes carried swords and swords, and rode forward in laughter.

The swords on their bodies are all decorated with gorgeous ornaments, but their hands and feet are vain and weak, and at a glance they know that they are the kind of young lady who was born in a rich and noble family and yearns for the rivers and lakes.

The group was faintly centered on a girl riding on a maroon horse and laughing like a silver bell.

The girl is about sixteen or seventeen years old, with beautiful eyebrows, a straight and small nose, ruddy lips slightly upturned, and a tender face that seems to be able to pinch out water, which is really innocent and lovely, like an elf coming out of a painting.

But the most eye-catching thing is the proud figure of the girl, dressed in a goose yellow power suit, the towering round chest supports the clothes tightly, and with the galloping of the horse, the fullness inside rises and falls violently, as if it is about to break out at any time.

In strong contrast, the waist wrapped around a belt is slender and soft, and the curve of the hips and legs is round, which is even more reverie.

After all, a few young men and women were ordinary people who did not know martial arts, and after running for a long time, they soon got tired, so they stopped by a weeping willow to rest.

"You'er, I heard that Brother Qing will be back in three days?" a young man in a dark robe asked the girl, his tone full of reverence and yearning.

At this moment, You'er's face was flushed, like a ripe fruit, which made people want to take a bite, and the eyes of the three teenagers looking at You'er all contained obvious admiration.

She brushed away a strand of broken hair on her forehead, and when she heard her eldest brother, her big eyes narrowed into a happy crescent moon, and she nodded and said, "Well, but in a few days, he is on a mission with the senior brothers in the door this time, and he will come back by the way." ”

"When Brother Qing comes back, don't forget to inform me, he hasn't met since he entered the Immortal Gate. The young man in the robe said.

"Yes, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I'm getting rusty. ”

"And me, and me. ”

Several teenagers and girls next to him also shouted, and You'er nodded vigorously, and they all agreed.

Several people were overjoyed in their hearts, although You'er's elder brother Ling Qing was only an acquired martial artist, he was an inner disciple of the Water Moon Sword Sect.

The Water Moon Sword Sect is a second-class Immortal Martial Sect, although it only belongs to the inconspicuous bottom stream among the sects, but in the eyes of ordinary people, it is an unattainable top-level existence.

Xianmen is a handyman who walks out of a sweeping floor, and those big factions in the rivers and lakes must treat each other with courtesy, not to mention the inner disciples.

That's why these young men and women are so stammering.

"I heard that this Five Lakes Conference, there are also people from the Xianmen who came. Another good-looking girl in green spoke.

"Ah, really?" Yu'er blinked her big pretty eyes, and her eyelashes fluttered up and down cutely.

"Well, my father passed through the Dajiang Gang a few days ago, and I heard from a hall master of the Dajiang Gang, and it is said that it is the people from the Shenshui Palace. The girl in green nodded.

The girl in green is called Qiao Luoer, and she runs a small dart game at home, and she can often hear many strange things about the rivers and lakes from her father Qiao Yishan Pass, and she is a more well-informed person in this group of people.

"Shenshui Palace......" You'er murmured, her eyes full of yearning.

Shenshui Palace is the Xianwu Sect that dominates Cangzhou, but its people are quite low-key and have never interfered much in the mortal world.

She quickly became curious: "But how could the people of the Shenshui Palace come to participate in the Five Lakes Conference of the Five Gangs?"

Several other people also looked at Qiao Luo'er curiously, in addition to recruiting disciples every year, Shenshui Palace would never have too much to do with the gangs on the rivers and lakes.

It is really strange that this time he would send people to participate in the Five Lakes Conference of the Five Gangs.

Qiao Luoer said: "I heard that I came specifically for the bloody cases of several major water villages. ”

"When did the Shenshui Palace start to fight against the grudges between these water villages?" said the young man in the Xuan robe.

Cangzhou is different from other states in the Great Song Dynasty, there are many rivers and lakes in its territory, and half of the land of a state is covered by water, and the government only cares about things on the ground, and the influence on the water surface is minimal.

There are hundreds of water villages in every section of the river and every lake, and there are hundreds of water villages in the entire Cangzhou forest, among which the five major gangs led by the Dajiang Gang are the most powerful.

Strictly speaking, they are more fishing villages composed of ordinary fishermen, and they are often in conflict with each other for the sake of fishing interests.

It is useless for the government to mediate, and what should be fought the next day is still to fight.

However, although there has been a lot of fighting, nothing major has happened for decades.

Until a month ago, a few fishermen secretly crossed their own waters and went to the area next door to fish in the lush aquatic area, but found that there were surprisingly few fish, and a fisherman in the other side of the water village could not see it, and there was a strange fishy smell in the wind.

In their hearts, they were puzzled, and they went to the other party's water village by boat, and found a terrifying scene.

The hundreds of people in the entire water village all died, not a single man, woman and child remained, the blood stained the river a large area red, and a large number of fish gathered on the riverside, gathered on the water surface and raised their heads to swallow the blood flowing into the river.

After the news spread, it suddenly set off a storm, and before the government investigated the results, in the next half a month, two more water villages were slaughtered, one of which was a medium-sized water village with thousands of people.

At this moment, the five major gangs couldn't sit still, and the Dajiang gang sent people to various water villages to distribute the Dajiang order, and the Five Lakes Conference was held for this matter.

"It's not a fight between the water villages, it's what the government and the five gangs released to stabilize people's hearts. ”

Qiao Luoer shook her head and whispered to a few people: "I tell you, don't talk nonsense, you will be found by the government." ”

You'er and the others nodded again and again.

Qiao Luoer looked left and right, covered her mouth with her hand, and whispered, "I heard that the water ghost did it." ”

"Water ghosts?!" Yu'er exclaimed in a low voice, her little hand resting on her trembling chest.

"Really?" the young man in the robe widened his eyes.

There are many rivers in Cangzhou, and the legend of water ghosts has existed since ancient times, but legends are legends, but few people believe that they will encounter this kind of thing on weekdays.

Seeing that several people were suspicious, Qiao Luoer said in a low voice: "Do you know how those people in the water village died?"

As she spoke, she stretched out her right hand and made a downward gesture on her full chest, causing the eyes of several teenagers to straighten.

"Everyone was cut open in the chest, all the hearts were missing, the government has been looking for so long, and none of them have been found!"

Hiss......

Everyone gasped.

"That'...... What's that?!" At this moment, Yu'er suddenly pointed to Xiaohe with a crying voice.

A few people looked over, only to see a black shadow floating up and down in the river, floating towards them, and in a trance it seemed to be a human form.

Thinking of the heart-splitting water ghost just mentioned, several young men and women had a numb scalp, and their hearts almost stopped beating.
