After reading the secret letter, Li Xuan saw that there were still portraits of himself and Ling Long attached to it, and said secretly in his heart: "How did Jin Wushuang know that I was going to take a boat east to Mount Tai?" Li Xuan groaned for a while and said, "In this way, Jin Wushuang immediately sent a letter to you after he was defeated and walked through the dense forest. He looked up to the sky and thought for a moment, and asked, "How many other brothers are there on the island, and where are they?" The eldest of the three monsters said: "There are thirty-seven people in total, and they are scattered on the banks of the Yellow River, and they must be still waiting for an opportunity to scuttle the ships coming and going." Li Xuan said in a deep voice: "You hurry up and stop them." ”

The eldest of the three monsters smiled bitterly and pointed to the rolling and tumbling Yellow River waterway: "In terms of our water nature, although we can barely swim across the river in such a turbulent wave, we can't make our brothers stop their actions without the island owner's token!"

When the elder ancestor Zhengyu heard this, he couldn't help but sneer: "Since you have no way, it seems that it is useless to keep you!"

The eldest of the three monsters smiled and said, "Who said we are useless?" Hey, the weather is cold, if you don't find a place to escape the cold, I'm afraid that it won't take half a day to freeze to death here!"

The eldest of the three monsters smiled, "Of course there is." Don't forget, we've lived on this island for five or six years. After speaking, he stepped forward and said respectfully to Li Xuan: "Please also ask the young man to move to the secret residence on our island." If I'm not mistaken, there are not only bacon and frozen fish in the cellar, but also more than a dozen jars of old wine.

Zu Zhengyu sneered: "Of course I have to go." Hmph, of course I'm going to see what else you can do!"

The eldest of the three monsters led the way, and a group of more than a dozen people walked through the dense jungle, and after a while, they came to a rather flat boulder. He didn't say much, but stepped forward and groped a few times in the groove under the boulder, and the boulder moved three feet away. Everyone followed him in, and saw that behind the boulder was a well-laid out underground dwelling.

There are about 30 rooms in this house with different functions, each of which is not only sturdy, but also has no overlap in each of the curves that criss-cross it. You must know that these houses are close to the Yellow River, and the most difficult thing to deal with when built underground is the problems of water seepage and dampness, but Li Xuan took a closer look and saw that there were no signs of dampness and mildew in either the houses or on the paper path, which shows that Jin Wushuang had solved all these problems when he built them. It seems that this man is indeed a talent.

Li Xuan stopped and looked at it, and sighed secretly in his heart: "Just looking at the rigorous layout here, you can see that Jin Wushuang has indeed spent a lot of effort for this operation, and that day Shangguan Xiaoxiong desperately wanted to rescue Jin Wushuang, in addition to knowing that he would run out of oil and die and his life would end, I am afraid that he also took a fancy to his calm, ruthless, and meticulous characteristics." However, Jin Wushuang is to assist Shangguan Xiaoxiong, and would rather give up the nest he built with great effort, which shows that he is also an extremely affectionate person. ”

I don't know how long it took, but the eldest of the three monsters had already brought the prepared meal. The eldest ancestor took out a silver needle, and was about to test whether the food was poisonous, but he saw Li Xuan take the wine in the cup and drank it all, and chewed it with a blank expression, and the eldest of the three monsters saw that Li Xuan was frank and fearless, and he didn't doubt himself at all, and he couldn't help but be greatly moved.

When the food and drink were finished, everyone rested. The eldest ancestor, Zu Zhengyu, couldn't sleep, so he came to Li Xuan to talk to him, and Li Xuan was also worried about how to leave the isolated island. The two chatted more and more, and after talking, Li Xuan realized that the reason why he was able to meet the wooden boat driven by the boss Zu Zhengyu at the Dafengpo ferry was actually arranged by the Zen master Zhiyu of Shaolin Temple.

The boss of the father, Zu Zhengyu, said: "The young man must be strange in his heart, the Zen Master Zhiyu does not go out of Shaolin all year round, why is he familiar with me!"

Li Xuan nodded and said, "I do have this question. The boss Zu Zhengyu laughed heroically and said: "Young man doesn't know, in my early years, I was a river tyrant in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, and I did some evil things to bully and dominate the market. It is said that fifteen years ago, I fought with others, and happened to meet the Zen master Zhiyu, and only after being enlightened by him did I decide to return to the rivers and lakes. Therefore, although we don't know Shaolin martial arts, we are also lay disciples of Shaolin!" Li Xuan praised: "Knowing that the foolish Zen master is a god, he must have expected that I would not want to go by land" Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of the boulder outside the house, and the eldest of the three monsters not only rushed over, but also shouted happily: "Shaoxia, good things, we have met good things!"

Hearing this, the eldest ancestor stood up and said, "This person is not in the cave, why did he suddenly come back from outside?"

The eldest of the three monsters rushed into Li Xuanshe, and happened to hear the boss Zu Zhengyu say this, his face couldn't help but turn red, he smiled embarrassedly, and said: "There is a secret passage here that leads to the outside, I don't have any other ideas, but I want to go out to see if the wooden boat left by the island owner is still there!" Although the martial arts are not good, but the young man trusts us so much, how can I do such a despicable thing!" The boss Zu Zhengyu clenched his fists, snorted coldly, and was about to refute it, but was stopped by Li Xuan.

Li Xuanwen asked, "You hurried back, but what good things did you find?"

The eldest of the three monsters said: "The three of us planned to go to the small dock on the island to see if the wooden boat left by the owner of the island, but we didn't expect that the wooden boat was not found, but we found that the Yellow River, which was still raging and rolling before, had frozen for some time. ”

When Li Xuan and the boss heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other, and it seemed extremely difficult to believe.

At this time, Ling Long also heard the sound and came to Li Xuanshe. When she heard the eldest of the three monsters say this, she couldn't help but look at Li Xuan with a happy face, and said, "Sure enough, it's not what I expected." Li Xuan said strangely: "Miss Ling, did you expect the Yellow River to freeze?"

Ling Long nodded and said, "I did expect that the boiling Yellow River water would freeze in the next few days, but I didn't expect it to be so fast. Li Xuan was puzzled: "Can you tell me the reason?" Miss Ling Long smiled and said, "The answer is in you." She saw that Li Xuan was still puzzled, so she said: "Since ancient times, if there is a vision between heaven and earth, there will definitely be strange people. And after you fell into the water, not only did you lose your life, but you were also saved by the divine dragon spitting water technique described in the ancient books, this is the alien vision, since there are divine objects in the Yellow River who use the divine dragon spitting water technique to save you, won't it let the boiling river freeze and help you get out of the isolated island? Brother Xuan, you have been possessed by the divine dragon and have extraordinary abilities!"

The more Li Xuan listened, the more curious he became, and asked, "What is the divine object you are talking about?" Ling Long said: "The first divine object in the sky and on the earth, the dragon scale monster fish." ”

Li Xuan was taken aback and said: "Isn't what I saw in the water an illusion? Frolicking and playing under the Colorful Bridge is the dragon scale monster fish described in the wild stories of the world? Coco dragon scale fish in the dragon and tiger pool, how could you suddenly come to the Yellow River Linglong, and you are not in my hallucination, but how do you know that it is a dragon scale fish that performs the so-called magic dragon spitting water?"

Ling Long said proudly: "Don't forget that the person who wrote the Book of Wild Wonders of the Ten Thousand Worlds and gave it to the Hidden Sword Villa was the ancestor of Ling. ”

Li Xuan nodded and said, "I naturally haven't forgotten." ”

Ling Long continued, "Actually, ever since I saw that you had the Dragon Scale Fish Bead, I knew that you must have known the Dragon Scale Fish. Let me tell you, the supreme sacred object possessed by the dragon scale fish is the pearl in its mouth. If it is willing to give it to you, it means that there must have been a strange fate between you. Now I don't know why it came to the Yellow River, but since it has appeared, it must have come to save you. Brother Xuan, when you sit cross-legged on the water column, do you feel a soft and warm force spread throughout your body?" Li Xuan nodded and said, "That's true. Ling Long said happily: "Brother Xuan is really a blessing. Do you know that the dragon spirit possession technique is a holy law possessed by the dragon scale fish, and this holy law has a very high kingly spirit. Well, whoever can get the dragon spirit possession will become the king of all kinds of living beings. From now on, if they meet all the tigers, leopards, bears, apes, sparrows, geese, eagles, and pigeons in heaven and earth, if they are not absolutely vital to life and death, they will definitely retreat and stay away. ”

Hearing this, the eldest ancestor Zhengyu asked, "Miss Ling, do you mean that Li Shaoxia now has the kingly aura given by the dragon scale fish?" Seeing Ling Long nodded, he said, "The Yellow River water suddenly froze at night, is it also the dragon scale fish to save Li Shaoxia?"

Ling Long nodded and said, "It must be so." If I guessed correctly, now starting from the frozen place of the isolated island, go up and down for ten miles, and if there is no ice there, it proves that the freezing here is the holy law performed by the dragon scale fish to save Brother Xuan. On the other hand, if there is ice ten miles away, this ice can only be regarded as providence. The eldest of the three monsters sighed when he heard this: "Even if it is the will of heaven!" It also proves that Li Shaoxia is an extraordinary person, but even if you cross the Yellow River, you should not go to the Taishan Conference. ”

Li Xuanqi said: "Why do you want me not to go?"

The eldest of the three monsters said: "Earlier, when we were digging the boat, I heard Ximen, the second head of Taibai Mountain, say with a smile that Lu Ran, the first master under Wang Shichong, is also going to participate in the Taishan Heroes Conference. Ahh

Li Xuan smiled and said, "No one is invincible! How powerful is this person?"

The eldest of the three monsters heard the words and didn't know how to answer.

Seeing this, the eldest ancestor Zhengyu couldn't help but laugh at him for being alarmist, his real purpose was probably to encircle everyone here, and shouted: "Miss Ling, didn't you hurry up and down ten miles or so to see if there is ice there!"

The eldest of the three monsters said, "You don't have to go up and down for ten miles." When the three of us went to the river to test the thickness of the ice, we could already hear the roar of running water less than three miles upstream and downstream. It seems that the ice we have here is indeed as Miss Ling said, it is the holy law Li Shaoxia that the dragon scale fish used to save Li Shaoxia, how about we go and see?"

Everyone packed up and came to the riverside, and sure enough, they saw that the water surface of the Yellow River had already formed a thick layer of ice, but the river surface was not as smooth as a mirror, and the surging waves still maintained the appearance of the earlier tumbling after being frozen, which shows that the Yellow River water was frozen only in an instant. The layers of churning water waves turned into ice, stacked in a thousand forms, looking from afar, as if the sky was full of clouds and clouds, crystal clear, it really made people feel like they were in the heavenly realm.

Crossing the Yellow River, the three monsters still hope to follow Li Xuan. Li Xuan could not refuse, and asked them not only to act chivalrous and righteous in the future, but also to help the poor and the needy, and immediately gather the rest of the brothers scattered in the upper and lower reaches of the Yellow River to persuade them to stop attacking and harassing the passing ships. The three monsters were overjoyed when they saw Li Xuanken accept him, and after a simple entrance ceremony, they hurriedly said goodbye.

At this time, the sky was bright and the sun came, but under the strong north wind, I did not feel the slightest warmth. Li Xuan hurried to Mount Tai, thinking that the boat would be fast and would arrive in a few days, but now that the wooden boat was sinking, it would be difficult to find the ship for a while, so he couldn't help but be a little anxious. The boss Zu Zhengyu seemed to be in his eyes, and bluntly said that there was no need to worry, claiming that he had a friend who had known him for many years, and there was a horse farm next to the valley eighty miles away, and if he borrowed a few fast horses there, he believed that he could still arrive before the start of the Taishan Heroes Conference in a few days. Li Xuan was overjoyed when he heard this.

Before dark, the three of them finally came to the horse farm of the eldest ancestor Zhengyu's friend. After a night of silence, after breakfast, Li Xuan picked a good horse, said goodbye to Ling Long's father-in-law, Zu Zhengyu and his friends, and galloped along the Yellow River in the direction of Mount Tai.

The two passed through Guangli and crossed Mashan, and on the evening of the fifth day, they missed the opportunity to rest in Mashan Town because they were in a hurry, and in desperation, they could only look for someone who could shelter from the wind and snow while hurrying. Seeing that the night was getting deeper and deeper, and the scattered snowflakes had paved the road at some point, Li Xuanzheng was worried that Ling Long would not be able to stand the wind and cold, but he saw a fiery red light in the high and deep dense forest ahead. The two followed the light to a blue brick mansion, knocked on the door of the house, Li Xuan explained his intention, and the family looked Li Xuan and Ling Long up and down, and saw that although the two were covered with dust, the elegant and demure temperament revealed was impossible to refuse. The housekeeper yawned and muttered, "There are distinguished guests arriving in my house, and the host is hospitable to you, so if you two want to stay overnight, you can only be grieved in the wing room for one night." Li Xuan smiled and said: "If you can get a house that shelters from the wind and snow, it is already the best, how can you ask for a tall main house!"

Bypassing the flower garden in the front yard, Jia Ding, Li Xuan, and Ling Long came to the left side box, and before they entered the house, they heard someone laughing in the backyard.

This laughter sounded very joyful, and although it was a little old, it could still be felt from a distance that the person who laughed was an extremely bold character. When Li Xuan heard the laughter, he was slightly stunned, and asked the family: "Dare to ask the little brother, who is this laughter from?"

Jia Ding said lightly: "It is my master." Li Xuan nodded, and asked in a deep voice: "Is your master's surname Zhu?" Jia Ding Qi said: "How do you know that my master's surname is Zhu?" Li Xuan smiled slightly: "It seems that I have met an old friend." ”

Ling Long said strangely, "Do you know the master here?"

Li Xuan nodded and said, "It shouldn't be wrong." As he spoke, he turned his head to Jia Ding and said, "Please ask the little brother to go and tell your master, and say that Li Xuanlu from Taiyuan, Shanxi Province came to visit." When the family heard this, although his face was full of doubts, he still left in a hurry.

After a while, I heard someone hurrying over, and before anyone arrived, he called loudly: "Is it a good brother of the Li family who came?"

Ling Long heard the loud voice of the person, turned his head to look, and saw a person walking on the cobblestone road. By the light of the lantern, she saw that the beards of the people who came were all white and red, and they were not only tall but also extremely burly. The person who came stood still, looked Li Xuan up and down, and laughed: "Sure enough, it's a good brother hahaha It was the good wind that blew my brother here!"

Li Xuan smiled when he saw the visitor, and said happily: "It's the wind that hit by mistake! I haven't seen you for a long time, but you are still as strong as ever." ”

The people who came laughed, took Li Xuan's hand and said affectionately: "The bones are old, how can you be strong!

When Li Xuan heard him mention Tang Bing, his heart couldn't help sinking, and his mind swept over Tang Bing's elf-loving expression, and he couldn't help but sigh and said, "Miss Tang didn't come." As he spoke, he looked at Ling Long, and saw that she was looking at herself as indifferently as a chrysanthemum, and said with a slight smile: "This is Ling Long girl." Seeing that the expressions of the two were subtle, they no longer asked, laughed and said that they were all guests, took Li Xuan's hand, and looked up and down for a while, and then sighed: "Brother is getting richer and more abundant!"
