Chapter 55 Water Avoidance
On the bank of the cannibalistic river, Liu Ruyan and the seven people sat down cross-legged and formed a circle, each silent, and their faces were not very good.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it's been three days, and I'm afraid that Brother Xiao will be more than lucky. What do you do now?"
Li Tianxing's face was gloomy, and he opened his mouth to break the silence. I waited on the shore for three days, but there was not the slightest movement on the river. In fact, he didn't care about Xiao Qingfeng's life and death, but after all, he took the lead in this matter, and it was inevitable that he would lose face a little, and it would also give everyone an unspeakable blow. At this time, he had already secretly scolded Xiao Qingfeng in his heart for not having the ability to be a hero.
"Everyone should feel that Brother Xiao's strength is not weak, but even so, he was dragged into the water without the slightest resistance. It seems that there is a long way to go to get rid of the water monster. I still recommend that you get to know the water monster before you are absolutely sure about getting rid of it. ”
Cao Quyang's face was solemn, but he could still maintain his sanity. Similarly, he didn't care too much about Xiao Qingfeng, a newcomer who was not familiar with him, and he didn't have any friendships. But, after all, he was the one who proposed it, and he wasn't so thick-skinned that nothing had happened.
"Now that the situation is like this, do you still want to find out? Could it be that Prince Cao is ready to try it himself, Brother Xiao has already stabbed an Ahuizotl, maybe with the prince's light body technique, he can escape. ”
Jing Nan glanced at Cao Quyang, and there was some yin and yang strange qi. He is a small person, jealous and jealous, and his relationship with Cao Quyang has never been harmonious, and he will be sarcastic when he gets the opportunity.
"What, Brother Jing is scared by the water monster, if you're afraid, then you can go by yourself. Without you, we would still be able to get rid of the water monsters. ”
Listening to Jing Nan's yin and yang strange tone, Wei Jun said sarcastically. He and Cao Quyang are the same kind of people in a sense, while Li Tianxing has a good relationship with Jing Nan, and the four of them also have small factions.
"I'll say a word. Li Tianxing opened his mouth and said solemnly, "Everyone present, like me, are all arrogant people, and perhaps we have never encountered such a tricky thing in our lives. ”
Glancing at the crowd, Li Tianxing continued: "However, it is precisely because of this that we need to unite even more. To be honest, don't look at our group of people who are called the rising stars of Wei Cao and Cao, in fact, they all rely on the power of their families and sects. Those of us, apart from Fairy Liu, who else has really eliminated spirits and killed ghosts and gods?"
"Li Gongzi is right. Zhao Ruyun agreed, her face was never more solemn: "All of us are the elites of our families and elite sects, and we haven't actually done a few great things. What's more, Xiao Gongzi came with us, and now that he is killed, we will not avenge him, and become monks in vain, how can we hold our heads up in the two countries of Wei Cao in the future?"
Hearing Zhao Ruyun's words, everyone was silent for a while. In the cultivation world, it is usually the dead Dao friends who do not die and the poor Dao. This world is actually more cruel and ruthless than the secular world.
People who pursue immortality can let go of everything, and even kill their wives and children when necessary, so as to cut off the seven emotions and six desires. However, these are the unspoken rules in the shadows. No one dares to talk about things on the surface, and now that Zhao Ruyun is going to say it to death, no one has the cheekiness to put forward a negative opinion.
"You don't have to be so heavy, Xiao Dao thinks that maybe Brother Xiao Dao is not dead yet. Xiaodao is quite good at face-to-face, he doesn't look like a person who died early. ”
When everyone was silent for a while, the little Taoist priest of Zhenfan spoke. He didn't know why, since he saw Xiao Qingfeng for the first time, he felt a little familiar. But he was very sure that he had not met Xiao Qingfeng. In the dark, he felt that Xiao Qingfeng would not die so easily.
The words of the little Taoist priest are only regarded as words of consolation. With Xiao Qing's Qi Refining Qi Realm cultivation, after three days in the water, he has already fed the fish if he is not dead. What's more, there are water monsters inside.
"We are all sorry about Xiao Gongzi's matter, and we will not discuss his life and death for the time being. The main thing is to get rid of the water monsters. This is not only for the passers-by here, but also for the revenge of Xiao Gongzi, and it is also for ourselves. Liu Ruyan said expressionlessly.
Compared with others, she is quite familiar with Zhao Ruyun and Xiao Qingfeng, and she can be regarded as friends. And this matter was brought up by her, although there was no hysterical sadness in her heart, but there was also a trace of frustration.
"Everyone knows how powerful the water monster is, is there any way?" Li Tianxing exhaled lightly and asked.
"I'll try it this time. Cao Quyang stood up, folded the folding fan in his hand little by little, and said, "I don't know what happened to Brother Xiao at the beginning, but he did hurt an Ahuizotl." And my light body technique can be used for a short time, and if there are two more people behind me, nothing will happen. ”
"There is a three-person combined attack formation here in the trail, and the power is quite good. If you practice in advance, you will definitely be able to get out even if you encounter two water monsters. ”
The little Taoist priest also stood up and said. Originally, this formation was taught by his departing master, and it couldn't be passed on at will, but the matter was urgent, and he couldn't take care of it.
Liu Ruyan glanced at everyone, and didn't care that this matter was led by Li Tianxing, so she stood up and said, "Okay! There is no other way, so this thing will be done." Cao Gongzi is the first echelon to attract water monsters, Zhenfan and Ruyun are the second echelon, and the three of you practice the formation. The rest of the people form the third echelon. If things change, rescue in time. Everyone must remember that it is best not to fight hard before the bottom is explored. ”
Xiao Qingfeng didn't know anything that happened on the shore.
When Xiao Qingfeng woke up, he found himself lying on a stone bed. Glancing around, this is a simple stone room, directly opposite is a stone door, in addition to a stone bed, there is a stone platform, the stone bed is him, and there are four things on the stone platform.
Three of them were his own, the Yuanyang Sword, the Dotted Steel Spear, the Qingbai Sword, and the last thing was a jet-black turtle piece with some handwriting on the turtle piece. It's just that from his point of view, he can't read the handwriting at all.
Xiao Qingfeng felt a little sore all over his body, and his whole body couldn't exert his strength, and it was estimated that it would be difficult to even get up. Ever since he entered the Qi Refining Realm, this feeling had never appeared again. Patting his head, which was still a little confused, Xiao Qingfeng recalled the last moment before he fell into a coma, his brows furrowed, and he relaxed again.
"Am I being rescued?" Xiao Qingfeng guessed his situation, thinking in his heart: "If someone saves him, then he should come to see him, and recover first." ”
Xiao Qingfeng struggled to get up, sat cross-legged on the stone bed with difficulty, and then began to run the Yuanyang Miao Sutra to recover his body. said that it was running, but in fact, he didn't have any mana in his body at all, just a little qi. And this sense of qi can't work according to his thoughts at all, but it can make his body warm and recover faster.
By reciting the Yuanyang Sutra in silence, the body relaxes, the mind is emptied, and it enters a wonderful state.
I don't know how long it has been, Xiao Qingfeng finally feels that he has recovered a lot, and his whole body is no longer so painful. Then he got ready to see where he was, and who had saved him.
Struggling to get up, he slowly walked to the stone gate, and at this moment, the stone gate was pushed open, and a figure walked in. The man was in his fifties, with a gray beard and a thin build, dressed in an aqua-blue robe, and in his hand he held a stone plate, which was covered by red cloth, and it was impossible to see what was in the stone plate.
stepped in, just in front of Xiao Qingfeng. What kind of eyes are they? The narrow Danfeng eyes, the tails of the eyes extend obliquely upwards to the temples, the eyelids are double, and the black eyes are hidden but not exposed.
Seeing these eyes, Xiao Qingfeng had a kind of illusion, suddenly deep and far, like the vast sea, which made people feel calm, and suddenly the divine light shone on people, like a golden crow in the nine heavens, which made people dare not force their eyes. These two extreme eyes actually appeared in the same pair of eyes.
"You're awake. ”
The person who came let go of his body, closed the stone door with his hand, and said lightly, with no expression on his face.
And at this moment, Xiao Qingfeng glanced at the outside of the stone gate by the way, and the first thing that caught his eye was a blue light. Through the blue light, you can still see a piece of water, and you can hear the sound of gurgling water in your ears. If you look at it, you can also see fish swimming in the water and planting grass, just like an underwater world.
"Did the seniors save you?"
Xiao Qingfeng's heart was a little shocked, but he forced himself to calm down and asked. With an instinctive feeling, the person in front of him is not bad, so he is commensurate with his predecessors.
"There is only an old man in this place, if it wasn't for the old man who saved you, who else could it be?" the man's tone was calm, without excessive enthusiasm and deliberate indifference. The stone plate was placed on the stone platform, and the red cloth that was hidden was removed, revealing several brightly colored green fruits in the stone plate.
"Thank you seniors for saving your life. Xiao Qingfeng gave a salute, and then said, "Dare to ask seniors, where is this place?"
"Shuifu. The man replied.
"Shuifu?" Xiao Qingfeng thought for a while, he hadn't heard of this name, and asked, "What is Shuifu?"
The man turned around, stared at Xiao Qingfeng with those strange eyes, and said word by word: "This is the water mansion of the river god of the Lishan River, which is the cannibalistic river, and the old man is the river god of the Lishan River." ”
"Didn't the Lishan River God fall?" Xiao Qingfeng said in surprise. Looking at the person in front of him with some suspicion, but he soon felt that this was his benefactor, and it didn't seem wrong to do so, so he said hesitantly: "That, the junior heard from a friend that the Lishan River God fell when he fought with the big demon hundreds of years ago, is that the senior?"
Deep eyes stared at Xiao Qingfeng, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the man said, "Yes, the mountain god has fallen." To be precise, I'm not a real mountain god, it's just an obsession of his. You can just call me an obsession. ”
Xiao Qingfeng frowned, and asked puzzledly: "An obsession, senior, what does this mean?"
"What do you mean?" the corners of the obsession's mouth curved slightly, a little self-deprecating, and a little sarcastic: "I'm not a human, I'm not a ghost, and I'm not a god." I'm not in the Five Elements, and I'm no longer in the Three Realms, so if you don't come, I might be immortal. ”
"This?" Xiao Qingfeng was a little stunned, "Why did the senior save me?"
"Why don't you save you?" Obsession suddenly said, "Although I can live forever here, I can only be trapped in Shuifu." For hundreds of years, I couldn't stay for a day. When you come, you will deliver me from the sea of suffering. ”
"The younger generation is stupid, can the senior explain it. Xiao Qingfeng felt that he was caught in a conspiracy that had been planned for a long time, or rather a conspiracy.
"Hundreds of years ago, a big demon came to the Lishan River. This demon is strong and intends to dominate all the water monsters in Lishan River to dominate one side. Naturally, the river god would not agree, and the two sides fought, and all the water monsters in the river were extinct. In the end, even the river god fell, and the divine seal was shattered. But before he died, the river god also suppressed the big demon in the great lake of Cao State, and had a formation to temper day and night. ”
Obsession said something completely unrelated to Xiao Qingfeng's question, and before Xiao Qingfeng continued to ask, he took the initiative to say: "The river god knows that it is impossible to grind the big demon to death with the demon grinding array alone, so he left me with his divine power before he died. As long as anyone can make my heart feel something, let them go to the Great Lake to get rid of the Great Demon. ”
"What do seniors mean that I am the one who can make seniors feel something?" Xiao Qingfeng's eyes widened and he said in surprise.
"Not bad!" Obsessively nodded, and said: "Since there is no river god, there will be a water monster in this Lishan River every few decades, and after so many years, there are not tens of thousands of people who have died in this river. But the only one I can save is you. ”
Hearing the words of obsession, Xiao Qingfeng rubbed his head, combed through the words just now, and finally summed it up in one sentence: Obsession to save himself is to let himself go to the great lake of Cao Kingdom to get rid of the big demon.
Xiao Qingfeng bared his teeth, a little embarrassed: "Seniors, it's not that juniors are unwilling to remove demons." It's just that the strength of the younger generation is low, and I'm afraid that I am powerless. ”
Obsessively looked Xiao Qingfeng up and down, and said with a smile: "It's okay, hundreds of years have passed, and after the tempering of the demon grinding array, the strength of the monster has long been gone, and I am afraid that it has already appeared in its original form." Not to mention your Qi Refining Realm cultivation, even an ordinary person can kill him. ”
"But the younger generation can't water, and he can't kill that monster!"
Xiao Qingfeng was a little distressed. It stands to reason that obsession saved him, that is, his savior, although it cannot be said that he wants to repay him, but his requirements can be completed or completed, but this thing is really not something he can complete. After the Ahuizotl incident, he was afraid for a while, if he encountered this kind of thing again, he probably wouldn't be so lucky.
Hearing Xiao Qingfeng's words, he obsessively approached the stone platform, handed the turtle piece on the stone platform to Xiao Qingfeng and said: "What is recorded on this turtle piece is the trick of avoiding water, and it can be regarded as your reward for eliminating demons this time." As long as you are able to successfully complete the first level, you can stay in the river and the sea for seven days, just like land. ”
