Chapter 67: Helping the Strange Fish
Li Xuan said goodbye to Tang Bing, stood in place, looked at the figures of the three of them, turned left and right, until they disappeared on the winding mountain road, and for some reason they became depressed. He www.biquge.info wonder why he was reluctant to fall in love with this little brother who had a black and gray face and a girly but somewhat domineering face. He walked a few steps, but unconsciously sat down on a stone by the side of the road, and thought about all the previous situation with his mouth closed. Could it be that he was moved by Brother Tang's act of saving Xu Xiaohui's master and servant alone? Is this very touching...... After thinking about it, I can't think of a reason for a long time. Seeing that it was nearly noon, his stomach was growling with hunger, and he couldn't help but feel ridiculous that he had been sitting here for a long time.
He stood up, looked up to the sky and laughed a few times, trying to dissipate the depression in his heart, but after laughing, he found that the previous depression seemed to have turned into a silk thread, which was entwined in the bottom of his heart, and the more difficult it was to get rid of it. Fortunately, he was indifferent, thinking that maybe he had been suppressed in the cliff cave of Junwang Mountain for too long, and he only saw a little brother like Tang Bing when he went down the mountain, and it was reasonable for him to be reluctant to fall in love. Li Xuan explained and comforted himself all the way, walked all the way, and involuntarily hummed the little song that Tang Bing sang when he left: March is full of spring flowers, wicker branches and geese are yellow and green, swallows are both in spring mud, and the little sister sees Brother Lover from afar, like the warm wind sweeping over the hills......
I walked all the way like this, and I didn't realize that three days had passed.
Near noon on this day, Li Xuan walked through a crack in the rocks and walked forward about a hundred steps, when he suddenly heard the sound of gurgling water from behind a large area of miscellaneous trees at the bottom of the valley on the left. Judging by the sound of the water flowing slowly and rapidly, it seems that there is a large river running through the valley floor. Could it be that he had already reached the bank of the great river that Tang Bing had mentioned? If this was the case, wouldn't he be about to walk out of the King's Mountain! He couldn't help but cheer and rushed towards the bottom of the valley. When I arrived at the bottom of the valley, I saw a stream about ten feet wide rushing down from the mountain, the bottom of the clear stream was covered with flowers and green, round stones of different sizes, and hundreds of unknown wild flowers were mixed with the streamside...... Flowing colorful, naturally staggered growth, accompanied by a breeze, towards the happy flow of water, it is very beautiful.
Li Xuan has never been so close to such a wonderful landscape since going down the mountain, for a while, in a trance, like a dream, the mood suddenly relaxed, a few steps to the stream, leaned down, first drank a few sips of spring water, and then removed the tattered clothes and washed them in the water, found a sunny place to sun, and then cut a few wild vines, tied the Devil May Cry and the Divine Dance Blade on the shoulder, and then jumped into the water in close-fitting clothes, and swam freely. The autumn sun is shining, but the stream is cold. At this time, his inner breath had a considerable foundation, not afraid of frost, snow and ice, and suddenly entered the water, even though he was tense by the cold of the stream, but as soon as he spit it out, his body and mind warmed. The water of the stream seems to be very shallow, because it is clear and transparent, and when he swims back and forth, he finds that the shallowest part of the stream is enough to be high, and the deepest part is not less than two zhang.
Standing in the quiet stream, seeing the reflection of the flourishing grass and trees on the side of the stream, the tail-tailed wild carp and herring are fearlessly cruising beside him, playing with himself intimately, Li Xuan can't help but be childlike, and a fierce man plunges into the stream deep above his head and catches fish empty-handed. How could the fish be caught by him so easily! After several exchanges, although he was still empty-handed, the depression in his heart had been reduced a lot.
I don't know how long it took, Li Xuan was swimming happily, and at a glance, not far from his side, a strange fish with a length of more than three feet suddenly appeared, with an extremely narrow body, a silver-white body, and two long-whiskered monster fish of more than one foot. Because this long-whiskered monster fish has a silvery white body, whether it is floating or quietly in the water, it is almost integrated with the stream, and it is difficult to find it if it is not for his excellent eyesight.
Curious, he quietly swam towards the long-whiskered monster fish, but before he could get seven or eight feet in front of it, the long-whiskered monster fish flicked its tail to the ground, and a splash of water swelled downstream. Li Xuan's interest was high at this time, how could he let the long-bearded monster fish swim away! Immediately condensed the dantian, held his breath and dived into the water, and chased after him vigorously. In addition to chasing the long-bearded monster fish, he actually wanted to test how much energy he had in the water. In this way, one man and one fish, you chase me, although in the water, but there is also a speed that exceeds the galloping horse. Unconsciously, Li Xuan had chased one hundred and seventy or eighty zhang down the river.
The long-bearded monster fish seems to know that someone is chasing him, and he is not afraid of it, and sometimes when he sees Li Xuan gradually falling behind, he actually slaps countless waves with his long silver tail when he swims in the water, as if he is waiting, and he seems to be joking and talking. This stimulated Li Xuan's strong interest, so he reluctantly chased after him. As I saw the river gradually become stronger, the surface of the water not only widened, but also deepened. Li Xuan poked his head out of the water and saw that there was another stream of water flowing into the river.
The river is tumbling, like an unrestrained and heroic song.
When the long-whiskered monster fish saw another river, it seemed to be even more excited, and the long fish twisted its body, turned around in the water, and swam up the river. Li Xuan saw that the water flow that the long-bearded strange fish swam into in the opposite direction was surprisingly clear, and the trees and grasses grew more luxuriantly on the shore of the water, which was similar to the place where he had been in the water before, and he couldn't help but be surprised. But when he chased thirty or fifty feet upstream, and turned a sharp bend in the river, he found that the sides of the meandering water were suddenly devoid of lush trees and grass, and were replaced by more and more rocks. These mountain stones are rare golden yellow, from a distance, like a large pile of gold, but look closely, but look closely, you can see that the posture of the mountain stone is mysterious and strange, back and forth dog teeth are staggered, pitching and living, each has a different state. What is this? Li Xuan raised his eyes and saw that the long-bearded monster fish was flicking its long silver tail again, and it was flapping in the water non-stop. At this time, although he was more and more surprised, he still chased after him against the tide driven by curiosity.
After about half an hour, Li Xuan found that the water was gradually shallow, waist-high, and even colder. When he looked up, he saw that the water of the river was blocked by a steep stone wall about twelve or thirteen feet high, and the water that poured down became rapid, and the long-bearded strange fish seemed to swim up against the current. How difficult it is to swim upstream! The long-bearded monster fish tried to swim up several times, but was always washed back, but even so, it still persevered and rushed upstream. Who has ever seen the scene of the long-bearded monster fish fighting?
Li Xuan stood in the water, secretly amazed, seeing the long-bearded monster fish being washed back again, wandering in the water for a while, and rushing up again, his persistent and tenacious energy, he couldn't help but feel pity, he liked it to the extreme, and the idea of helping each other flashed unconsciously in his mind.
But one person, one fish, two worlds, don't talk about helping each other, even if it is shouting and cheering, I'm afraid it's impossible. The long-whiskered monster fish rushed several more times, all of which ended in failure, and the last time not only did not succeed, but was washed by the panting river to Li Xuan's side.
The long-bearded monster fish churned beside Li Xuan, not only was he not afraid, but he also swam around his waist non-stop, and his sharp and long mouth made a 'chirping' sound from time to time. This clear voice reached Li Xuan's ears through the water, lingering endlessly, as if begging and crying, and as if helpless and sad. Li Xuan's heart was very curious, looking at the long-whiskered strange fish in the water, and then at the tall flowing water stone wall, and saw that the dense turns on both sides of it were covered with low vines and miscellaneous trees...... From a distance, it looks like a green carpet draped in gold, and the stone wall is vertically steep where there is no water, about 20 zhang, and it is simply impossible to climb. If you want to get to the top of the stone wall, in addition to the oncoming flowing water stone wall, if you go up from both sides, it should be more difficult than climbing to the sky.
Li Xuan lived in the cave of the King's Cliff, and tried to climb to the top of the cliff with his bare hands, but ended in failure. At this time, although he made great progress in martial arts, he also understood that to overcome difficulties, martial arts are only a means, and the mind is the magic weapon to defeat everything. At this moment, if you force yourself to climb from the vertical cliff, the danger is unimaginable. Moreover, the long-whiskered monster fish is a creature in the water, and it may be difficult to survive if it is out of the water for a long time. But after weighing it in my heart, I knew that if I wanted to help it break through the stone wall, the only way was to go up the river. Seeing Li Xuan looking at the surrounding situation in a daze, the long-bearded strange fish made a few sighs of grief like a spirit, thinking that he was unwilling to help himself, and turned around him more urgently, chirping and chirping, which made people feel sour when they heard it. Li Xuan saw that the long-bearded monster fish was like this, and felt that it was wonderful, and said secretly: "Such strange creatures are hard to find, and I am afraid that I will not meet one of them in ten thousand years." Now that I have met it, if I don't help it, I will live up to the fate given by God. ”
Thinking so, he murmured to the long-bearded monster fish in the water, "Don't be afraid, although I don't know what you are going up to do, I will do my best to help you." The long-bearded monster fish listened to him through the water, seemed to understand, chirped a few times, and circled around his left leg. In the blink of an eye, it was already soft and soft wrapped around his legs like silk, and if a lover snuggled, like a well-behaved child pestering his kind father to ask for a beloved gift, it was difficult for people to prevaricate and refuse ruthlessly.
Li Xuan couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw the long-bearded strange fish like this, and said in his heart: "Can it understand me? This is really a strange news in the world." Thinking of the word "strange news in the world", my heart swept over the book "Wild News of the World", and secretly thought to myself: "If I can help it break through this stone wall, I am afraid that when the people of later generations revise the "Wild News of the World", they will add this strange thing." ”
When he closed his eyes and thought for a while, he had already made up his mind, slowly pulled out the two sharp weapons of Devil May Cry and Divine Dance, took a deep breath, slowly transported the inner breath from the dantian to the hundreds of corpses around him, made a thousand catties of falls, and walked towards the stone wall step by step against the panting river.
The river was as deep as his waist at first, although he was panting, but he could still stand firmly, but the more he went up, although the water flow was shallow, not as fast as his waist, but the speed of the flow was amazing, and the gentle slope of the stone wall under his feet was washed by the river for hundreds or thousands of years, which was extremely slippery, so that he had to sink into the dantian every step he took, and concentrated all his internal force on his feet.
Li Xuan's internal strength was consumed extremely quickly, and he finally reached the bottom of the gentle slope of the stone wall, and he could no longer take a step forward in the face of the faster flowing river. He looked at the long-whiskered fish wrapped around his legs, and saw that although it was trembling by the river, it stared at him with strange round eyes, like a lost orphan, and looked at him expectantly, as if believing that he could help it find its way home. Li Xuan's heart couldn't help but be sour, his anger sank into the dantian, he looked up to the sky and let out a long roar, and with his feet, he jumped more than two feet from the water. The man was in the air, his arms swinging heavily, and he threw himself towards the steep rock wall that separated him.
This series of actions is a long story, but since Li Xuan's angry dantian stood up and rushed to the stone wall, it was actually only completed in an instant.
Li Xuan waited for himself to be only a foot away from the water flow of the stone wall, and the Devil May Cry and the Divine Dance blade in his hand slammed into the stone wall in the water, only to hear the two crisp sounds of 'ding ding', although the two sharp weapons were blocked by the pouring water, and the strength was reduced by five or six points, but they still entered the stone by more than two inches. Two inches into the stone seems to be very shallow, but it is enough for Li Xuan, who is volleying in the air at this time! He took advantage of the moment when the blade was inserted into the stone wall, and suddenly jumped upwards again more than three feet, volleying, without waiting for his body to fall back, the blade in his hand was inserted into the stone wall again, and with a long roar, he jumped up several feet. This alternates constantly, only three or four ups and downs, and it is close to the top edge of the stone wall. At this moment, Li Xuan suddenly felt that there seemed to be thunder in his ears, and the dantian was in severe pain, and his inner breath was like being blown away by a hurricane, and he disappeared without a trace. What was going on? He panicked and almost fell off the wall of flowing water. This is the second time that he has suffered an internal interest loss since he studied the Treasure Source Secrets.
You must know that the last time it happened, it was he who had to encounter thirty-six techniques and martial arts, constantly studied and comprehended, and was exhausted without resting, and the internal breath of the dantian could not suppress the cold and heat of the internal breath in the body, but fortunately, he calmly breathed out for a week, and the internal breath returned to the original. At that time, I vaguely understood that although I had a blazing light on my head, with the miraculous effect of the cold jade pillar, I combined the three breaths of warmth, cold, and heat into a powerful warm breath. But before the second pulse of Ren Du is opened, the situation of internal interest from time to time and time from time to time may suddenly occur in his defenseless situation. Just like this time the internal breath suddenly disappeared, there was still no warning, and it occurred on the stone wall where the water was leaking and close to more than ten zhang from the ground, and its danger can be imagined.
Li Xuan gritted his teeth and clenched the hilt of the Devil May Cry and Divine Dance blades, not daring to relax slightly. But there was a sharp pain in the empty dantian, and the thunder in his ears became louder and louder, and then it was like rolling thunder, making him almost faint in pain.
The cold water continued to wash his body hanging on the stone wall, and the chill slowly spread from the soles of his feet to the dantian, and then from the dantian to the hundreds of limbs. Li Xuan felt that the whole world seemed to freeze in an instant, and even later he tried to open his eyes with all his might, but he didn't even have the strength to open them. After insisting like this for a while, he complained bitterly in his heart, and secretly said: "If I let go, I will not only fall and be seriously injured, but also be swept downstream by the current." At that time, Mo said that he couldn't help this long-bearded monster fish, and I was afraid that this lost life would also be lost in the mighty river...... I will never let go, I will never ...... I'm going to be back...... Hey...... Dantian has a feeling. Yes, it is this feeling, warm as spring, like a surging wave, like a bright moon plateau, dawn, autumn geese slowly chirping. ”
