Chapter 257: The Dragon in the Water
Li Xuan was about to turn around and move forward, when he heard what the three of them said, and stopped again.
The yellow-bearded old man said: "Big brother, Brother Zhu has high expectations for us, we ...... Do you just give up so easily?"
Before the red-bearded old man could answer, the white-bearded old man said lightly: "Why does Brother Zhu have high expectations for us? Why is the second brother still smeared? Hey, do you think Brother Zhu expects us to win against this kid? No, no, no...... He knows we can't win, the hundred-year-old ghost knows we can't win, and everyone knows we can't win. In my opinion, Brother Zhu hopes that we can block and consume some of this young man's inner breath and spirit, and win the most powerful opportunity for his own future battle...... If Brother Zhu wins this kid, he will not only be able to retain his position in front of Lord Yuwen, but also keep his reputation as the number one in martial arts, and even leave room for Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Guo. ”
The yellow-bearded old man said, "Why is Tang Guogong still involved?"
The white-bearded old man said: "Leaving three points for words and leeway for things has always been Brother Zhu's principle. Look at the rivers and lakes today, who is the most powerful, and who will dominate in the future?"
The yellow-bearded old man was silent, and the red-bearded old man sighed: "Third brother, don't say much! We have been brave and ruthless for most of our lives, although we have never been because of interests, but we can't help but understand that some benefits are not for you and me to enjoy safely. As he spoke, he hugged his fist at Li Xuan and said, "You go, but be careful of the lake in front of you." ”
The white-bearded old man turned around and walked a few steps, then turned back and said: "This artificial lake is connected with water, and the lake is surrounded by a lake, so the dragon lurking on the periphery must return to the inner lake outside the bluestone house at this time, if you want to break through, I'm afraid it will take a lot of trouble." ”
Li Xuan watched the three brothers of Tianmen Mountain disappear without a trace, and muttered, "It's really painstaking to put Bing'er here!"
The night after is cold, under the flickering starry sky, the wind whines, if the lover is reluctant to give up the sorrow, it is more like the resentment of lovesickness over the years.
Li Xuan walked through the dense trees and flowers, thinking that he was approaching the tall bluestone house, but when he got closer, he realized that he was wrong. The night hides everything, and even gives the eyes the illusion that if you are not careful, you will see huge things as vague and small, and ordinary things as mysterious. He stabilized his body and saw a circular flow of water more than fifty zhang wide separating the bluestone stone house from the shore of dense flowers and trees. There is no stone and wood bridge on the circular water flow, no boat can pass through, and the water flow is quiet like a sleeping baby, reflecting the lonely huge bluestone stone house. The hard, cold bluestone stone house resembles a tomb, or a silent and clumsy sculpture, a veritable island in the misty night.
The bluestone stone house stands tall on the circular water, surrounded by no trees and flowers, and the water waves ripple slightly, gently lapping the stone foundation made of bluestone under the stone house. Because there are no steps to climb on the stone foundation that is more than three zhang high, even if someone can fly over more than 50 zhang, when they reach the stone base, they will fall into the water because there is no place to settle and hold their hands.
It seems that the dragon mentioned by the three brothers of Tianmen Mountain is in this stream.
Li Xuan said secretly: "This place is built so dangerously, is it just for the purpose of imprisoning women?" Looking at a hooked moon floating on the dark water, the water surface is calm, but what about under the water?
He walked lightly around the bluestone road beyond the circular water, and found that there was no better way to cross it easily.
Li Xuan took a deep breath, thinking about the situation of Shicai all the way, and suddenly realized that although this place was called Dragon Pool, it was actually far beyond the scope of 'Pool'. A veritable man-made lake, the bluestone stone house is built on the island and placed in the middle of the lake, which can be seen that it was carefully designed by the builder. How should I get there? Li Xuan turned around and folded two sturdy pine rods that were more than a foot long, cut one of them into a foot-long wooden segment, and sharpened the other pine rod that was so tough that it could support him at the end and held it in his hand. Everything was ready, and it took about half an hour. At this time, the floating clouds were faint, the hooked moon was slanting westward, and there was a strange 'cooing' sound hidden in the annular water flow, which made Li Xuan, who wanted to cross the current, secretly think.
He threw the prepared pine wood segment into the water according to the pre-set position, and dived his magic skills, and his body shrank and flew out. At such a distance, Li Xuanben didn't need to go through a lot of trouble, but since he knew that there was a dragon in the circular water flow, which was known as the number one bully in the water, how could he dare to be careless! In the air, he had already taken a look at the pine wood section where he was footing, and when he was as light as a swallow, he gently touched the wooden section with one foot, and without waiting for it to fall completely, he swiped the wooden pole in his hand into the water, and flew up again.
According to his calculations, as long as he took a full breath, about three ups and downs would reach the stone foundation of the bluestone stone house, and at that time, he only needed to use the pine pole in his hand to support the piece in the water, and then he could fly to the door of the stone house. But the most likely thing in the world to change is not only the hearts of the people, but also the plans designed by the hearts. Because no matter how careful the plan is, it is always designed by people, and since people are involved, there will always be unexpected loopholes, and these loopholes are often fatal.
Li Xuan stepped on the first pine section and flew up, like a big bird with wings spread, flying forward. Seeing that he was close to the center of the circular current, others were in the air, and they spotted the position of the second pine section and prepared to settle down, but they didn't expect that before they fell, the water suddenly shook violently. This change may have only been for a moment, but it was at this moment that seven or eight monsters with crimson mouths had jumped out of the water. These scarlet-terrorist, triangular mouths are long and narrow in shape, and when they open, they make huge waves and emit a creepy 'cooing' sound.
Could it be that this is an ogre waiting for someone to fall overboard?
In ancient times, there were waiting for rabbits, but now Li Xuan is in the air, and his feet are not only deep and shallow lakes, but also dragons waiting for people.
In fact, Jiaolong, like humans, sleeps at night and does not eat water. But there is no such thing as an absolute thing in the world, let alone a living dragon! Although Li Xuan had been mentally prepared before, he was still startled when he looked down at seven or eight scarlet huge mouths. He lifted his true breath in the dantian, and it was impossible to convert at this time. Fortunately, his magnetic levitation body method has reached its peak, and he has a long pine pole prepared in his hand as a long-distance weapon, so he is not afraid of the appearance of the dragon.
Li Xuan's figure stretched out, and he was steadily suspended in the air, and at the same time, the long pine pole in his hand stabbed into the mouth of one of the dragons. He did this in a hurry, wanting to use his strength to sweep forward, but he didn't expect that the loose rod was only halfway through, and was suddenly bitten by another dragon volley waiting for the opportunity, and with a 'click' sound, at this most urgent moment, the loose rod was bitten into two. The loose rod was broken, Li Xuan suddenly lost his balance, and even if the magnetic levitation method was powerful, he couldn't control the tilt and fall of his body at this time, so that Li Xuan, who thought he could escape, instantly fell into an extremely dangerous situation.
Hearing a 'sigh', he fell towards the dragon's open mouth.
The dragon seemed to have been stimulated by some kind of stimulation, and was extremely excited, and at this time, when he saw some food falling, he began to move uneasily. This is really on the verge of life and death! Li Xuan's eyes are fast, how can he fall easily. He hooked the broken half of the pine pole with one foot, slightly relieving the downward momentum, and at the same time smashed the half of the pine pole in his hand towards the tallest dragon jumping at both ends.
Hearing only two 'poof' sounds, the two dragons were hit, and the 'coo' screamed strangely, retracted into the water, and quickly rushed out with their mouths open.
Jiaolong's body is extremely flexible, and when he saw a pine pole smashing it, his stubby tail flicked, and with a 'poof' sound, it stirred up a large splash. The water splashed like snowflakes, and the howling and heavy wind went towards Li Xuan's face. Li Xuan saw that the situation was not good, so he had to give up the pine pole in his hand, and the sleeves of his robe shook, and the strong internal force formed a wall of qi, and with a 'wave' sound, blocking a large splash. You must know that the dragon is fierce and the most ruthless, but what is strange is that although they are extremely excited, they only stay in the water and do not take the initiative to attack, and even have a little fear in their eyes like copper bells.
These details naturally couldn't escape Li Xuan's eyes, and a thought passed through his heart. He said secretly: "Ling Long said that I was possessed by the dragon spirit and became the king of all kinds of living beings. Hey, is it because of this that these dragons don't dare to attack me too much?"
This thought flashed through Li Xuan's heart.
He pulled out the Wushen Sword with his right hand backhand, and slashed at the 'anti-guest-oriented' in the martial arts with one move of thirty-six techniques, and slashed at the dragon on the right side with the largest mouth open. Such emergency changes all happened in an instant, during which a little careless, he would be buried in the belly of the dragon, the highest dragon was cracked by his sword, 'coo' a strange cry, retracted into the water, while the rest of the fierce dragon did not retreat but advanced, 'coo' scream, and came around again. Fortunately, after a crackling fight, Li Xuan took advantage of the recoil of the sword and the dragon to pull up his zhangxu, so that the situation was temporarily eased a little.
But the fierce dragon would not retreat easily.
The blood of the dragon on the right side was gushing, although Li Xuan had been hit, he could also feel the incomparable black god sword crackling on its body like a solid stone, and the frustration was very obvious, and he couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: "Legend has it that the dragon of the barbarian tyrant is wearing an incomparably hard scale armor, which can withstand the shooting strength of the 800-stone bow and arrow. ”
The lake was churning, and the fierce and brutal dragon became restless because it smelled blood. Li Xuan pulled up his palm, and his breath in the air had not been converted, so the magnetic levitation method could no longer support it, and he fell straight down a few feet.
Falling like this, although he finally levitated, the distance at this time was conducive to the dragon's attack, and the danger increased sharply. At the same time, four dragons on the other side had already closed around. He was secretly surprised, and said in his heart: "There are only seven or eight dragons, if there are more, my life will be rest......" His heart was surprised, like a flash of lightning, but under the dangerous circumference, he could not retreat or think too much. If you don't advance, you will retreat, and if you don't fight in danger, you will die. Li Xuan let out a long roar, and the inner breath of the dantian rolled in, and the sword of the black god slanted a little, stabbing the tip of the scarlet nose of the dragon that jumped to the ground. He leaped with his strength, and this time he only slid forward, but the danger was slightly less. If there is another point of borrowing at this time, he will be able to successfully escape the siege of seven or eight dragons in the water. It's a pity that the position he is in at this time is only halfway through the circular current!
Jiaolong saw that Li Xuan slid forward and was about to leave their attack range, he couldn't help but redden, splashed, and 'cooed' a few times, his voice was thick and high-pitched, and it had the intention of calling for help, which made people feel uneasy when they heard it.
Li Xuan's body was in the air, and he couldn't find a point to borrow, when he suddenly felt that the water surface shook violently again, and the lake seemed to be stirred by a god. The waves of white flowers, in an instant, swept him into it. Who would have thought of such a strange change! He struggled a few times, felt that he had fallen into the water hall of the underworld, and his eyes and ears were suddenly poured into the extremely smelly lake, and although his mind was clear, his limbs were still stiff and a little disobedient when he encountered the water.
Could it be that this is also the dragon's trouble?
Li Xuan struggled a few times, only to feel an incomparably powerful suction, sucking himself forward. At this time, the night was hazy and the water was blurry, not to mention being in the water! He opened his eyes, and there was a blur in front of him, and he wanted to swing the sword of the black god to protect himself, but he found that the force he used was mostly reduced by the agitated lake water. He naturally panicked in his heart, but the more this happened, the more dangerous it became.
But strangely, this powerful suction force was generated only for a moment, and then suddenly disappeared without a trace. Li Xuan was puzzled, searched carefully, and found that everything in the water was suddenly clear, everything in the water seemed to be reflected by the strongest light, and every aquatic grass and every slowly floating bubble was extremely clear. The surroundings are no longer dark, no longer turbid, and even the seven or eight dragons that had been around them before were floating around like fish, gentle and well-behaved, like rare beasts that had been domesticated for many years, docile and obedient.
What's the matter, am I dead, everything in front of me is just an illusion?
Li Xuan was secretly surprised, and suddenly saw the water waves shaking, and a giant dragon two or three times larger than the others slowly appeared in front of him.
This dragon is a tall man, with a thick and vigorous body of nearly three zhang, a pair of eyes bigger than a sea bowl, a huge pointed mouth more than six feet long, and two nostrils larger than a fist one by one, spewing out rolling and jumping blisters. The blisters first floated and sank, then floated towards Li Xuan, slowly turning into an oval circle around him. Why is the scene so familiar? Didn't this kind of scene have ever appeared when the dragon-scale monster fish appeared in the Weishui River that day?
Could it be that the bubble wanted to attack itself, but was blocked by the dragon spirit in its body?
Li Xuan was not depressed at the bottom of the water, looking at the giant dragon in front of him, he saw that its hard scale armor was shining with golden light, and its two hind claws were half-arched and kicked under the water, while the two front paws were grabbing forward in vain, as if they wanted to lean over, but they also contained hesitation. A man and a beast looked at each other under the water, but they didn't move first, déjà vu but extremely unfamiliar.
The giant dragon remained motionless in the water, spewing strange blisters, and the two eyes the size of a sea bowl were glowing with a strange blue light at first, but after a while, they gradually glowed red. The red silk was scarlet in color, and it expanded little by little in its huge eyes, and later, it not only stained the entire eye, but even began to expand into its huge head.
Seeing that the scarlet color has already dyed through half of the giant dragon's body, perhaps before the time comes, the entire body of the giant dragon will also be dyed red.
Li Xuan didn't dare to move, looking at the changing body of the giant dragon, he suddenly felt his heart jumping. Why did its eyes change color, were they frightened, angry, or excited? In dreams, people's minds always become dull, but they know very well in their hearts that everything that is not real in front of them will definitely threaten their lives. If the look revealed in the eyes of the giant dragon was anger, the scarlet color that stained the body must represent the attack, and at that time, if he wanted to leave safely, it would be difficult to climb to the sky.
He didn't have time to think about why this dreamlike scene appeared in front of him, he just wanted to leave quickly, rush out of the water early, and jump to the bluestone stone house opposite. He tried to move his arm, but when he saw that the giant dragon did not react, he was bold and swam slowly a few times. When he moved like this, not only did the giant dragon not react, but even the previous domineering dragons floated as before. And whether it is the heart of heaven or the will of God, if you can go ashore safely, that is the result you want most.
Li Xuan first leaned out of the water, took a deep breath, and plunged into the water again. The dantian was replenished, and the internal breath was able to circulate at a high speed, so he desperately swam to the other side. Just as he exerted all his strength and began to swim, the string of magical bubbles that originally surrounded him suddenly spread out like beads, and with a few sounds, it came to naught. The giant dragon had become extremely scarlet at this time, and the moment the bubbles broke, its originally vain front paws trembled, as if it wanted to keep the strings of bubbles. It was completely enraged, and with a pounce on its front paws, the bottom of the water shook violently, and the whole dreamlike scene disappeared in an instant. Li Xuan only felt that the originally cold lake water suddenly became hot. The giant dragon's tail swung abruptly, and with a 'sigh', it chased after Li Xuan.
It is said that the world of water is more mysterious than land.
Li Xuan struggled, like an arrow sliding forward in the water, the scarlet giant dragon channeled human nature, saw Li Xuan get out of the oval row of bubble rings, 'coo' hissed, and chased after him. How can a man in the water be better than the creatures in the water?
The hot water waves were getting closer and closer, almost catching up with Li Xuan, and at this moment, Li Xuan had just touched the stone foundation of the bluestone stone house. Is there anything more exciting for him than this! Li Xuan pounced hard, slapped one palm on the bluestone stone base, and with the help of force, he jumped out of the water with a 'bang'. At the same time, the giant dragon followed, leaping out of the water, opening its large mouth with its fangs baring and biting down on his waist. He didn't dare to look back when he heard the sound, and slapped his left palm in the direction of the giant dragon with all his strength, and with a 'boom', the giant dragon shook its head and wailed, but it was unharmed at all.
Li Xuan used the power of a slap to pull up Zhangyu, and in the air, the Wushen Sword went a little to the bluestone wall and rose again. But at this moment, a fierce dragon also jumped out of the water, and in the sound of 'cooing', it tore at his ankle. Li Xuan got out of the bottom of the water, his mind was instantly clear, and without waiting for Jiaolong to get close, he leaned over and twisted and kicked it away.
The giant dragon swooped into the air with one move and fell into the water, and Li Xuan narrowly avoided the giant dragon's pursuit, and he also broke out in a cold sweat. He barely jumped onto the stone foundation of the bluestone stone house, only to feel a sore body, and a sense of exhaustion that he had never felt before rose. (To be continued.) )!
