Chapter 53: Removing the Water Monster
"Okay!" Liu Ruyan's voice was soft, but it resounded throughout the main hall, "I also think this matter is inappropriate." Luring Ahuizotl ashore in the water is too dangerous, and we have to think long-term. ”
Speaking of this, Liu Ruyan also expressed his opinion: "If I am not mistaken, the Li family should have a magic weapon used in water, I wonder if this thing can be useful?"
The magic weapon that Liu Ruyan said is not a real magic weapon, but the honorific title of a magic weapon.
Don't look at Xiao Qingfeng's own magic weapon, and there is more than one. However, in fact, only the monks of the Foundation Realm can exert the power of the magic weapon. Moreover, it is not easy to refine the magic weapon, and it is necessary for the foundation building realm monk to induce the earth fire to quench. In the entire Yuanyang Sect, magic weapons are very precious things.
In an ordinary cultivation family, it is already remarkable to have a magic weapon to guard the ancestral court, just like the Li family. Therefore, it is usually called a magic weapon by a magic weapon, which can be regarded as a well-established rule in the cultivation world.
Liu Ruyan's words made everyone look at Li Tianxing, they were all elite disciples of various families and clans, and naturally they knew that the Li family had such a treasure. To be honest, their own family is also very hot. The people present, the family sect behind them, more or less have magic weapons, but who would have too many such treasures?
"Although my clan's magic weapon can be used in water, it needs to enter the water, and it also needs to cooperate with the breath-holding method, but the breath-holding method is the inheritance of the head of the family, although my father passed it on to Zai Xia after waking up, but I am afraid that it will not be able to practice for a while. If Li can use the magic weapon in the clan, he doesn't have to invite everyone to kill the demon together. Li Tianxing shook his head, a little helpless in his tone.
"What should I do about this?" Wei Jun asked.
Everyone deliberated for a while, but in the end they still didn't think of a good way. The biggest problem was how to bring Ahuizotl ashore.
During this discussion, Xiao Qingfeng basically did not express an opinion. I went into some of the minutiae that they talked about in the middle of their deliberations. Xiao Qingfeng can be regarded as having a preliminary understanding of the people present.
Liu Ruyan and Li Tianxing don't say it, they are both cultivators in the middle stage of Qi refining, one of them is the true disciple of Qiulan Valley, and it is likely that he is the next generation of valley masters, and the other is the young master of the Li family in Lishan City, and he is also a rising star with a lot of fame.
And that Wei Jun is actually the prince of Wei Guo, the prince of Wei Guo, and he cultivated in the early stage of the Qi Refining Realm, and he should have good means. And Jing Nan is a martial arts family, his father is the leader of the martial arts alliance of Wei Guo and Cao State, and he is an innate peak cultivator, and he should break through to the real innate realm in the retreat. He himself was also a cultivator in the early stage of the Qi Refining Realm.
Cao Quyang is the second prince of Cao Guo, and he is also the favorite prince of Emperor Cao Guo. He was arguably the most resourceful man present, and every suggestion he made had merit. It's just that the crowd had too many concerns and didn't adopt it.
And the last Zhenfan little Taoist is what Xiao Qingfeng really pays attention to. He wasn't quite sure about his specific identity, but based on the aura on his body, he had a faint guess, maybe he would still be the same brother in the future.
In the end, Xiao Qingfeng also saw a sign. Li Tianxing said to Liu Ruyan, and Jing Nan should have some love for Zhao Ruyun. It's a pity that King Xiang has a dream, but the goddess has no heart. These two pairs, I'm afraid there is no result.
That night, after having a meal, everyone agreed to go to the Cannibal River tomorrow to see the specific situation, and then they went back to the arranged room to rest.
Nothing was said all night.
Early the next morning, Xiao Qingfeng got up early, jumped on the roof, and began to meditate. I don't know how long it took, a sound of breaking the air sounded in his ears, and Xiao Qingfeng opened his eyes to take a look. But seeing Zhenfan, the little Taoist priest also jumped on the roof. He obviously didn't expect that there were still people on the roof, and there was still a look of surprise on his face.
"Brother Dao also cultivates in the morning?" After seeing the person clearly, the little Taoist priest Zhenfan asked.
"It's been a habit for years. ”
After answering, Xiao Qingfeng continued to meditate with his eyes closed. Seeing Xiao Qingfeng's behavior, the little Taoist priest Zhenfan did not bother, and found a place to sit cross-legged and meditate.
At the end of the hour, Xiao Qingfeng and Zhenfan Xiaodao priests collected their merits at the same time. By this time, the others had already gotten up. After eating the morning food, they drove their horses to the Cannibal River together.
The Cannibal River is fifty miles away from Lishan City. Everyone sat down with a good horse, and the fifty-mile journey was a matter of hours. Hurried all the way, without words all the way. After seeing a wide river in the distance, he stopped.
"This is the cannibalistic river. Li Tianxing pointed to the big river in front of him and said.
But see, the river is very wide, and a few have to be dozens of zhang. Because they were so far away, they couldn't see the other side at all. The river was smoky and silent, and there was not a single ferryboat. The morning sun shines on the surface of the river, full of colors. Because it's a little farther away, it looks more like a calm lake than a flowing river.
"It looks like the environment is not bad, a flat boat, down the river, really a bit poetic, and it doesn't look like a place where there are water monsters. Jing Nan carried a spear, sat on a horse, and said with emotion.
"The water is gentle, and there's a ferry port over there. In the past, you could find ferries there, and it was quite lively, but after the water monster caused trouble, the boatman either died or fled, and the ferry port was deserted. Li Tianxing frowned.
"This river is wide, and it's a bit troublesome. Cao Quyang frowned and said, "Let's go to the river first." ”
And they rode to the river. The clear water of the river gives people a sense of depth, and the bottom of the river is completely invisible, and it seems that this cannibalistic river is not shallow. Ran up and down the river bank twice. Check out the surroundings one by one, and finally come to the ferry.
"The river is too deep, and I don't know where the Ahuizotls are, so I'm afraid it's very dangerous when they enter the water. I think it's better to think long-term. ”
Jing Nan held a spear in his hand and said with some concern. He doesn't care about the safety of Cao Quyang and Zhenfan Little Daoist, but Zhao Ruyun's safety is the top priority he cares about.
Qiulan Valley is the absolute controller of Wei Guo and Cao Guo. It's a pity that Qiulan Valley only accepts female disciples, otherwise I don't know how many cultivation families send their disciples to apprenticeship. Although Qiulan Valley does not accept male disciples, it allows disciples in the sect to marry and form Taoist couples. Therefore, the disciples of Qiulan Valley have always been the objects of admiration and pursuit of the disciples of the family.
"Yes, this is not a joke, the people present are all elite disciples of various families, if they are planted here. I am afraid that the cultivation circles of Wei Guo and Cao Guo will not be able to raise their heads for decades. Wei Jun also spoke.
As the prince of the country, he should not have come out to show his face. It's a pity that Weiguo is different from Da Chu, the royal family of Da Chu is strong, and the national teacher is an elder of the Wuzhen School, and other cultivation families can only rely on him. However, the royal family of the patriotic country is declining, and many states and counties below have self-respecting troops, and some cultivators do not take the royal family in their eyes, such as the Li family in Lishan City.
"Fairy Liu, what do you think?" Li Tianxing just nodded slightly and asked at Liu Ruyan.
"There's nothing the little girl can do. ”
Liu Ruyan shook her head. He is also at a loss for this matter, if it is okay on land, it is really impossible for everyone to attack together. But the water monster is in the water, and many means can't be used.
"I think it's still the same as I said yesterday, the three of us went into the water to lure Ahuizotl ashore. Zhao Ruyun said.
"It's too dangerous. Li Tianxing shook his head, turned to Cao Quyang and said, "Brother Cao, is there a way?"
Cao Quyang put away the folding fan in his hand, paced, and said, "We don't know anything about Ahuizotl, so naturally there is no way. What we need now is not to get rid of the monsters right away, but to get to know them first. As the saying goes, only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated. ”
Li Tianxing's eyes lit up and asked, "Oh, what does Brother Cao want to do?"
"Since the water monster will attack the ferry, let's start with that. Cao Quyang had a warm smile on his face, and he looked confident.
"You want us to take a boat to attract Ahuizotl and see what they are? Zhao Ruyun spoke, and then pointed to the simple bamboo raft made of bamboo at the ferry, "There are still a few bamboo rafts there, can you use it?"
"Isn't that too dangerous?" Jing Nan said.
"You say everything is dangerous, if you don't get rid of the water monster, it won't be dangerous, Jing Gongzi still don't come well. Zhao Ruyun said angrily.
Seeing Zhao Ruyun angry, Jing Nan immediately shut up decisively.
Seeing the behavior of the two of them, Cao Quyang smiled and said: "This matter is also simple, crossing the river on a bamboo raft, if it attracts Ahuizotl, it will be better." Cao's light body technique is not bad, you can give it a try. ”
Hearing Cao Quyang's words, everyone nodded. There is no way out, although it is still dangerous. But as long as the light body technique is good, it is expected that the Ahuizotl will not be murderous. What's more, there are still people waiting on the shore, if it is not right, immediately rescue it, and there will be no problems if you think about it.
"Although Emperor Cao's light body technique is good, the little girl has a more suitable candidate. Liu Ruyan also nodded slightly, with a smile on her face, and there was some admiration in her words.
"Oh, I wonder who can compare to Brother Cao's light body technique?"
Wei Jun said curiously. He is the prince of Weiguo, Cao Quyang is the favorite prince of Emperor Cao, if nothing else, it will be the two of them who will be in charge of Wei and Cao in the future. So the two of them are good friends intentionally or unintentionally, and they know each other very well.
The royal family of Cao State was just a family of cultivators at the beginning, and later the country **** took the opportunity to start an incident and decided in one fell swoop. And the Cao family is famous for its light body technique. That's a superb, snow-treading existence without a trace. If it weren't for the water monster, Cao Quyang could directly cross the river dozens of zhang wide.
"Young Master Xiao, how about you make a move this time?" Liu Ruyan didn't answer, and turned his head to stare at Xiao Qingfeng, who had not spoken.
Xiao Qingfeng touched his chin, and just wanted to refuse, but suddenly his heart moved, and he responded: "Xiao Mou's ability is not good, but he also wants to share everyone's worries." This time, Xiao will try the reality of the water monster for everyone. ”
Xiao Qingfeng's straightforward answer made Liu Ruyan and Zhao Ruyun a little stunned. Zhao Ruyun was ready, and when Xiao Qingfeng refused, she swallowed her sarcastic words. Liu Ruyan thought that Xiao Qingfeng would refuse, she had already thought of a countermeasure, but she didn't expect Xiao Qingfeng, who had pushed three or four times in the past, to agree so readily this time.
"That's very good. Then there is Brother Lao Xiao. ”
Hearing Xiao Qingfeng's promise, Jing Nan's face showed a hint of joy. Everyone present, but his strength is slightly smaller. Seeing Xiao Qingfeng and Liu Ruyan coming together, he was already unhappy in his heart. Yesterday, Zhao Ruyun spoke for him again, and the words were very familiar, which made it even more unpleasant.
Xiao Qingfeng smiled, ignoring his well-known thoughts.
He was about to refuse just now, but suddenly on a whim, he felt that he shouldn't refuse. Master said in his sermon that in cultivation, one comes first, talent comes second, and diligence comes third. The word "chance" is wonderful, and sometimes a whim will get a great opportunity and a great creation.
Of course, great opportunities and great creations are often accompanied by great dangers and difficulties. It's just that I don't know if he has come by chance or a crisis this time.
