The mountain behind the Fanchen Inn, the name is the wind to the mountain, the mountain is more than 1,000 zhang high, the mountain is Cui Wei, the mountain is full of pines and cypresses, the mountain is green in spring, the leaves are not yellow in autumn, the mountain is near the lake, the lake is foggy, around the mountain, but there is not often fog under the mountain, the windy weather is more, the wind comes and the fog does not disperse, the demon spirit is more abundant, so the name is the wind to the mountain. ````

There is a lake and marsh at the foot of Fenglai Mountain, which is not as clear as an ordinary lake, there is a kind of aquatic grass in the lake water, which grows very luxuriantly, and the aquatic grass is red, and the water of a lake becomes red, which looks like a lake of blood water, so this lake and marsh is in the blood lake again.

There are demon beasts on the mountain, and there are also demon beasts in this lake, but the forest in this mountain is not long, and there will be no big demon beasts hidden, and this blood lake is different, the water is wide, and the water is extremely deep, and it is not uncommon to have thousands of years of demon beasts hidden in this water.

The growth of demon beasts is long, affected by the environment, and slowly the inner dan will naturally be formed inside, and the more powerful the demon beast, the purer the essence, the better the inner dan formed, this is the duty of the cultivator who subdues the demon and subdues the demon, and this killing demon beast is also a matter of cultivation, but some demon beasts are relatively rare, and they are also protected by people, so they can't be hunted casually.

Although there are people who protect the demon beasts that are about to become extinct, there are still some cultivators who take risks and do everything possible to hunt demon beasts for their personal selfishness.

Tianxiang Gongzi decided to go to the Blood Lake to hunt the demon beast, not for anything else, but for the Neidan that could improve his cultivation for ten years, and Xingchen agreed to help him, and he was very happy.

When Tianxiang Gongzi and Xingchen came to the blood lake, it was already evening, it was not hot at this time, and they could not see the dazzling light of the sun's rays in the lake, and the demon beast was an unknown and unknown water monster. This adds to its mystique.

It is said that the water monster can swallow clouds and mist, which can be imagined as a dragon, but it shuttles through the water, but it is as bright and dazzling as moonlight, which at least proves that this water monster has golden scales and armor.

In fact, Tianxiang Gongzi and Xingchen didn't know whether it was a monster or a monster hidden in this blood lake, because the only difference between a monster and a monster was that he had cultivated into a human form, and the other was still in the flesh.

Hundreds of years ago, there were no people on the edge of this blood lake, because they were afraid of the disaster brought by the monsters, and the fishermen on the shores of this blood lake moved out of this place one after another, but there were still people who stayed.

The people who stayed were either eaten by the monster or tortured to death by the monster, this is a legend, but this legend, as if it was a ridiculous story, has been passed down, and now, there are many empty houses crawling with vines on the shore of the lake, and this house is surrounded by those vines in green, with black windows exposed, and it looks very terrifying.

There were still some wooden boats tied to the edge of the Blood Lake, about one or twenty, maybe more than before, and those wooden boats had been sunk by the wind and waves because of broken cables, and sank in the mud and sand at the bottom of the lake.

Xingchen flew and jumped on top of the wooden boat, the wooden boat was subjected to gravity, swaying with the water waves, shaking around, and almost turning Xingchen upside down.

If you look at a person's strength, you can see from this small detail that Tianxiang Gongzi is cautious, generally does not make decisions, and never starts easily.

Tianxiang Gongzi smiled slightly, and arched his hand and asked, "Brother Xingchen, the two of us, who will be the bait?"

"Bait, what bait?" Xingchen spread his shirt, sat in the boat, and asked puzzledly, he didn't understand what the prime minister said that day.

Tianxiang Gongzi glanced at Xingchen, then looked at the blood-like crimson lake and said, "The two of us came to subdue this demon beast in the water, but this demon beast didn't come out to show up, so I decided to let the human body be the bait to lure him out." I don't know which of you and I is more suitable. ”

Xingchen secretly said in his heart: "This is an unsafe job, how can I take myself into danger? What if I encounter a water monster with a big mouth of blood, and as soon as it comes out of the water, it opens its mouth and takes me away? No, no, I can't let myself take this risk." ”

So Xingchen arched his hand and said: "That monster likes fresh and delicate, a fresh and clean person like Childe, and has a woman-like face and posture, why don't you like it?"

Tianxiang Gongzi smiled and said: "Brother Xingchen is also a little reasonable, but what if that monster is a female breed and likes a man with strong blood? ”

Xingchen thought about it, shook his head and said, "If it really doesn't work, the two of us should draw lots and decide!" After that, he pinched two paper balls, on which the word "go" was written, and threw them in the boat, so that the prince could choose that day.

When Tianxiang Gongzi was about to choose, Na Xingchen pulled him and said: "I said okay, the first choice will be disassembled first, and you are not allowed to play with Laipi!"

"Hehe, this son has never been bad, but I'm afraid that people will come to rely on me!" Tianxiang Gongzi said, so he chose a paper ball, and hurriedly unfolded it to take a look, and it turned out that it was written "go".

Xingchen asked, "Childe can choose it, open it and take a look." ”

Tianxiang Gongzi pouted and said, "I'm unlucky today, it's written with the word 'go'." Your paper ball says 'Don't go' on it, doesn't it?"

Xingchen nodded and smiled: "Since you have bad luck and are smoking the lot to 'go', then go, of course my going up is written 'not going', and as he spoke, he showed him the note written in advance of 'not going', and he was very proud in his heart." ”

Tianxiang Gongzi had nothing to say, shook his head and sighed: "People don't stand without faith, since I promised you and you to draw lots, I have to keep my word for what I say!" I saw him holding a sword in one hand, one flew up, stepped on another boat, untied the cable on the boat, and put his feet on the shore a little, and the boat floated directly to the middle of the blood lake.

The wooden boat does not need to borrow the wind, but it floats fast, the lake is flooded with sparkling waves, and in a blink of an eye, the wooden boat has floated to the center of the lake.

Tianxiang Gongzi played the bamboo flute, the boat was leisurely, the flute sounded leisurely, and his slender figure was reflected on the water, and he suddenly had an ethereal feeling. This kid really has two hits, and he stood on the shore and praised secretly.

I didn't expect this method to be really clever, and soon, there was foam under the water, and then the water splashed, and then the water turned into a small whirlpool, and a water monster holding a fork one or two feet long jumped up from the water, suspended on the surface of the water and shouted: "Where did the mortals come from, since they are impatient with life, dare to come to this water, disturb my peace, I will never spare you, look at the fork!"

Tianxiang Gongzi was shocked, he thought it was a monster before, but now he saw that it was a monster, it seemed difficult to deal with, he collected the bamboo flute, raised his sword to block, and held the fork of the water monster and said: "I will play the flute in my spare time, how can I provoke you, like you are making waves in this water, it is to provoke me!"

"The fairy music of human beings is also noise in my ears, you teach me how not to be annoyed!" The water monster pushed the long fork and attacked forward, and the heavenly prince made a false move and pretended to be defeated, jumped up, and ran straight to the shore with his feet on the waves.

The water monster didn't know what the plan was, chased after it, and also ran towards the shore, the awakening dust saw it on the shore, and hurriedly lay on the ground to prevent the water monster from seeing someone on the shore and not daring to go ashore.

Tianxiang Gongzi ran to the shore, looked around, and did not see the waking dust, but secretly complained, this kid didn't expect to be so unrighteous, and blamed him for his life before he went ashore.

The water monster also went ashore, waving the fork in his hand, trying to poke a few forks of the heavenly phase boy to the ground, the heavenly phase boy's sword momentum was stable, and his heart was not chaotic, but he couldn't mess with the monster's magical powers, and retreated step by step.

As soon as the Tianxiang Gongzi retreated, the water monster attacked more fiercely, and he didn't give in at all, wanting to take the life of the Tianxiang Gongzi.

Just when this was Xingchen coming out from behind the water monster and intercepting the monster's back road, the monster was startled at first, and immediately woke up, and said with a smile: "It turns out that this boy also brought a helper, but what I didn't say today, both of you have to die!"

After that, he folded the long fork in his hand and folded it into two sections, which was originally a two-ended long pointed fork, but in this way, it became a fork with one end.

The water monster is one against two, but it does not make supernatural powers, but the weapon fights hard against the weapon, but the awakening dust gave him a demon spirit rune, but this monster is living underwater, and the body is slippery, but the spirit rune can't be hung.

Seeing the situation, the monster pretended to fall to the ground, rolled on the ground, and said, "You two wait, wait until I go back and tell the sect master, and then let the sect master send someone to get you." With that, he turned into a black-headed fat fish, wagged his tail, rolled into the lake, and disappeared in a moment.

Xingchen looked at the calm lake and sighed: "It turns out that we have been fighting for half a day, but we are dealing with an errand mob!"

Tianxiang Gongzi wiped his sweat and said: "Oh no, there is trouble, I didn't catch this monster, but I brought out a nest of monsters, he just said to invite his sect master, is there any sect under this lake?"

Xingchen smiled slightly: "I heard that there is a Dragon Palace and a phoenix in Zhubeidan Mansion, but I have never seen it with my own eyes, so I want to go down and see it." ”

Tianxiang Gongzi asked: "This is a lake of deep water that is difficult to see, can it be that Xingchen will recite any tips to avoid water? If you can read it, I will also follow you!"

Xingchen waved his hand and said: "It's difficult to avoid water, it's not easy to remember, it's not easy to read, and if you read the words for a while, you have to be flooded by the waves, and you can only protect yourself from flooding, and you can't take people to separate the waterways together." ”

Tianxiang Gongzi was very puzzled: "Brother is selling Guanzi, what is a good way, just say it!"

Xingchen took out two yellow paper and red spirit runes from his body, and said: "I don't learn the runes well, but I also learned this rune to avoid water and fire, these two runes are water avoidance charms, as long as they are attached to the body, keep the waterway self-opening, and the dripping water will not stick to the clothes." ”

Tianxiang Gongzi was overjoyed in his heart, took the talisman and said with a smile: "There is really such a magical rune, I want to try it today." With that, he took a water amulet and stuck it on his body, only to see a light blue halo on his body.

"It's really weird!" said Tianxiang Gongzi smiled as he looked at the halo on his body.

Xingchen also put another light amulet on his body, walked to the lake and said to Tianxiang Gongzi: "Let's go underwater to find out, what is the water mansion below!"
