Yuan Jie jumped into the river again, knocked on the gate hard, but how long passed, still to no avail, at this time it was midnight, and then flew away from the river, saw a number of stones on the ground around, thought to myself I moved the big stone, the river water was sparse, do not believe that the river demon does not show his head.

At the moment, he took a big stride and went straight, Yuan Jie walked quite fast, but after a while, he didn't find many stones, and he was surprised in his heart, and an old voice came from the wind not far ahead, "Brother Kui Deng, I'm going to force you to death here." As soon as the words fell, another clear voice said, "I haven't seen you for many days, Brother Wang Su's chess skills are really good." The little brother is willing to bow down, hahaha,"

The laughter was magnificent, heard in the middle of the night, especially loud, Yuan Jie looked intently, under the moonlight, only to see the place more than ten zhang in front of him, a long stone table was placed, the table was black and white, and a number of chess pieces were placed. An old man sits on the left and right of the stone table, and the one on the left is hunched and bent back, looking quite old. On the right is a thin man, in his fifties. The two of them each picked up a chess piece and stared at the table and laughed. Look at their demeanor, it seems that they are playing against each other.

It's late at night, and being in the wilderness, sitting idly playing chess, if Yuan Jie didn't see it with his own eyes, he couldn't believe it. As soon as the surprised thought arose, he forcibly suppressed it, thinking about what other people's affairs have to do with me, I am now going to move stones to save people, it is the top priority, thinking about this, lifting my feet and stepping, and I want to leave.

As soon as his right foot took a step forward, the old voice continued: "More than ten miles to the south, there is a big river called 'Ghost Difficult to Cross', Brother Kui Deng has ever heard of it. ”

Yuan Jie heard him mention 'ghost difficult to cross', he was stunned, lifted his left foot lightly put down, and replied in a clear voice: "I heard that even goose feathers pass by, they have to fall into it, and the name of 'ghost difficult to cross' is really true." ”

The old man's voice said, "Yes, there is a monster living in this river, called the 'Holy Hand of the River', which is transformed from a loach. ”

The clear voice continued: "If my memory is correct, his common name seems to be Shen Lingbei. ”

The old voice said: "He originally had no name and no surname, and usually regarded himself as a 'holy hand', but later when he met a destined person, he recognized him as a teacher, and the destined person's surname was Shen, so he naturally followed this name and surname." ”

The clear voice said suspiciously: "I don't know about this matter, Brother Wang Su still has to tell me about it." ”

The old man's voice softened and said: "Decades ago, the loach was detached into a human, and one day in the mountains, I accidentally encountered a bad wolf, and the evil wolf was feeling hungry. The 'Holy Hand' loach is still weak, not the opponent of the wolf, after a few moves, he was defeated, and he was about to become the wolf's belly, just a hunter surnamed Shen passed by, he bent his bow and arrows, shot the wolf, and saved the 'Holy Hand' loach. The 'Holy Hand' loach thanked Shen's Orion for his kindness, so he removed the word 'Holy Hand' and only called himself by the surname Shen. Shen Lingbei's current ability is not general, but he always respects the Shen Orion. ”

The old voice continued: "If you encounter trouble crossing the river, you might as well go to the hunter surnamed Shen for help, it is a great difficulty, and it can be solved for you." The clear voice asked, "I see, but I don't know who he is and what to call him." The old voice replied: "This person's name is Shen Kun, and he lives in the Red Leaf Valley in front, although this person's kung fu is quite high, but he is a lonely and strange person, and it is not easy to approach. A clear voice said: "Even if there are many difficulties, there is always a glimmer of hope, hey, it's not too early, we should leave after playing this game of chess." ”

When Yuan Jie heard this, he seemed to have an understanding, he took two steps forward, and was about to open his mouth to ask, but when he looked up, he saw the moonlight in front of him, the shadows of flowers were heavy, and the two old men playing chess were gone. Only then did he know that there was a master who came to give advice, and he was grateful, he clasped his hands into fists, bowed to the opposite side a few times, and then carried a steel knife in his hand and went straight forward.

After a long time, when the day was almost dawn, I finally came to the Red Leaf Valley, there is a hill in the valley, there is a stone house on the hill, although there is no thick shade around, it is also quiet and comfortable, standing in the local area, there is a feeling of cool breeze and humidity, Yuan Jie breathed a sigh of relief, and shouted loudly: "Yuan Jie came to visit Shen seniors, I don't know if I can show up to meet him." The words were transmitted far away, and only the sound of fluttering and fluttering was heard, and the birds were alarmed by each other, and they all fluttered their wings.

Suddenly, a black shadow appeared in the distance, and then it was like a projectile jumping star, galloping like a fly, and when it stopped nearby, Fang saw that it was an elderly man in his forties and fifties, holding an iron lance in both hands, and when he saw Yuan Jie, he showed a suspicious look on his face, and couldn't help asking: "Who are you and why did you come to my place." Yuan Jie knew that the person in front of him was Shen Lingbei's master Shen Kun, so he thought about it for a while, so he immediately replied: "When my friend and I had a 'ghost difficult to cross' yesterday, we were dragged into the water by the river demon. Shen Kun's face changed suddenly after hearing this, and he shouted: "The apprentice asked someone to bring me a letter last night, saying that the enemy crossed the river, and he happened to be caught, but he didn't want you to slip through the net alone, so he crashed into here, haha, this is really a godsend, boy, don't run, Shen is going to use this iron lance today to capture you." With that, the iron lance swung and poked at Yuan Jie. Yuan Jie dodged and said loudly: "Seniors don't want to talk nonsense! I just met with Lingtu yesterday, how can I make an enmity with him." He spoke, dodging the attack. 'Storm and Clouds', 'Flying Phoenix Dance', 'Harmony with Light and Dust', Shen Kun's three moves that were as fast as lightning were all avoided by Yuan Jie with clever techniques. Shen Kun's iron lance was delivered quickly, Yuan Jie dodged even better, Shen Kun saw that his body was extraordinary, and he was quite surprised in his heart, and couldn't help but shout in a low voice: "Good boy, no wonder you can cross the river calmly, you really came prepared." Your Excellency is going to talk to me again, coaxing me, the old man has been traveling in the rivers and lakes for many years, can't you still see what kind of way you are? Seeing that he didn't distinguish between right and wrong, Yuan Jie couldn't help but rush up angrily, and said angrily: "If you are like this again, then Yuan has no choice but to be rude." As he spoke, the blade was in front of him, and he slammed it into the iron lance.
