Chapter 8 Pressure from Above
Prosperity is fleeting, fireworks are fleeting, and there is no banquet in the world that must come to an end. After the excitement, all the people in the rivers and lakes began to disperse, scattering chicken feathers all over the ground. But at this time, I turned back to look for the two disguised people, but they were already there.
There was no trace.
After this incident, neither Laoshan nor Longhushan had any intention of fighting each other. After some deliberations, the two sides paid tribute to each other based on the diplomatic principles of peace and friendship. The happy scene was misleading.
I thought they were as good as wearing crotchless underwear.
The only thing that made people feel a little sad was the middle-aged man from Ciyuan Pavilion. When he was fished out, half of his head was missing, his body was covered with deep and heavy bite marks, and his flesh was soaked by the cold lake water.
Bai, he looked so miserable. Fortunately, the evil lake dragon was also eager to hurt more people, so he was not in a hurry to swallow it in one gulp. At least, he kept a corpse and went back to the funeral parlor to have some makeup done.
It can be considered as a thought for the family.
Speaking of influence, not many practitioners like us can actually see the lake dragon, let alone the ordinary people next to it. There must be some weird rumors circulating.
But these were none of our business. The restaurant was also very smart. They immediately got some dry and soft towels and boiled hot ginger soup to give to those who jumped into the lake.
They went to take a hot bath and were very considerate. The fisherman and his grandson were dizzy from the cold. However, they endured the cold and came to kowtow to the dead Ciyuan Pavilion practitioner to express gratitude.
Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but think of the discussion in the public opinion a few days ago about a college student jumping into a manure pit to save an old man and drowning himself. Many people with more utilitarian values believe that a college student is more important to society than the old farmer.
Their contribution was great, but they did not expect that as a life, both sides have the same value. The only difference is that the one who saves people is greater.
We bowed silently to the dead middle-aged man, and the young master of Ciyuan Pavilion was obviously not in a good mood. He held his fists in tears, and after saying a few words, drove away with the body - Black Dash
, he is indeed a rich tycoon.
This talk ends at the beginning, but we can see the lake dragons coming out of the water, so it’s not a wasted visit. The snacks in the restaurant can’t satisfy our hungry stomachs all day long. Zamao Xiaodao has just reunited with Luo Xiazi, so naturally we have to drink.
We had a small drink to show our warmth, so we found another hotel nearby, opened a private room, and ordered some famous local dishes for dinner.
In the previous episode, we were afraid of outsiders being present. In order to avoid exposing our identities, Zamao Xiaodao couldn't talk too much to Guo Xiazi. Now that there are only four of us, we don't have so many worries about talking. Zamao Xiaodao followed Luo Xiazi and confessed that before this time
We came here indeed for the true dragon, but we did not covet anything belonging to the true dragon. We only wanted to cure our third uncle's illness, and we wanted to find the ambergris saliva that had been accumulated for thousands of years in the lair where the true dragon was entrenched.
Blind Luo was not familiar with his uncle, but he knew his third uncle. After some questioning, he touched his beard, nodded and sighed: "When we were upstairs just now, I wanted to advise you that this is a real dragon."
It is a beautiful thing bred by heaven and earth. It is an auspicious omen that combines great luck. Don’t kill it easily. Otherwise, the fate is unpredictable and the luck is reversed. Unexpectedly, you will be unlucky and die in Dongting Lake.
.Now that I hear what you say, I feel relieved, but your trip is still dangerous. That ambergris water stimulates the muscles and activates the meridians and accumulates Chinese spirit. A drop of it can prolong the life of ordinary people. Practitioners can obtain it, and the strange meridians all over the body.
The eight meridians, the big and small, Zhou and Tian are immediately unobstructed, and they are also what many people are chasing... That's all, nothing happens, let me help you with your fortune telling!"
Seeing that the dishes had not been served yet, and with a lot of free time, Luo Xiazi took out two concave turtle shells and a few handfuls of broken rice from the treasure bag beside him, and said a prayer in his mouth, and after a while,
Scatter the broken rice into the turtle shell, then rotate the turtle shell continuously, pinch it with your fingers quickly, and stop all movements after a pack of cigarettes, and silently calculate in your mind.
I think his technique is a bit like divination, but it seems to be much more skillful. I guess he comes under the sect of Liu, the iron-toothed fortune teller, so he naturally has his own unique skills.
After two minutes, the blind man grinned, looked around, and said that the three people here are all insiders and know many things that are unknown to the elderly. So let's take a look at this hexagram. What does it mean?
Zamao Xiaodao stared at it and asked suspiciously, "Seeing a dragon in the field is a good way to meet an adult"?
The blind man in Luo nodded and said yes, but no. This time, hope is still there. As long as you work harder, you may be able to achieve your goal. However, there are many obstacles and dangers along the way. All kinds of threads are entangled like a tangle, making your trip feel like walking.
If you don't pay attention to the suspended rope, you will be in danger of falling into the abyss. If you don't have the sharpness to cut through the tangle with a knife, it is best to escape far away.
At this point, we knew that Blind Luo wanted to persuade us to leave. However, our third uncle was in critical condition and had to shoot. We had no reason to leave just because of some danger, so we thanked him without saying anything.
At this time, the dishes came one after another, such as fried loach, braised eight immortals in a pot, turtle and sheep soup, osmanthus tendons... A bunch of authentic Xianghu dishes with beautiful color, fragrance and fragrant aroma were served on the table, and we, who had been hungry all day, had no food.
No matter how much he talked, he was not polite at all. We had a good meal, but unfortunately the blind man from Luo was a vegetarian, so he only ate some green vegetables and tofu. After finishing the meal in a hurry, he did not stay with us for long and carried it.
Leave with flags and flags.
Watching the rickety back disappear into the night, I wiped some oil on my mouth and said to Zamao Xiaodao: "Old Xiao, you old friend, your butt seems to be sitting a little crooked?"
Zamao Xiaodao frowned and nodded and said, "Under the world, is it the king's land? On the shore of the land, is it the king's ministers? What's yours is mine, and what's mine is mine. If you are used to public ownership, you will inevitably feel that all the good things in the world are
It's all my own, it's inevitable. My uncle's brows haven't softened since Luo Xiazi left. At this moment, he can only nod and sigh, forget it, stop talking. After all, we are all on the same side and can't be offended.
We can always afford to hide, just try not to provoke him.
There was a lot of food in the private room, so we didn't waste it. We asked the waiter to pack it up, then asked for some soaked tea leaves, and then went to the convenience store nearby to buy a package of melon seeds, and then returned to our residence.
After coming back, within twenty minutes, the tiger cat, who had gone out to inquire about the news all day, also came back. Duoduo was carefully serving him food and drink. The tiger cat shook the frost off his feathers and told us.
, said that after walking around this day, I didn’t find many useful clues. I just found that there was something strange in this big lake. The surface of the lake was calm, but there was an undercurrent surging under the lake bottom. The deeper you went, the more difficult it became.
People feel something is wrong.
We told it what happened today. The adults cracked melon seeds and nodded, saying it was right. The rarely seen water monkey appeared openly and attacked creatures. The lake dragon must have lived in the vastness of Dongting Lake for many years.
Deep in the depths, it has now been forced to the shore. From this point of view, it has been expelled from its own territory.
Who on earth can force that kind of water spirit to run around?
Thinking about it this way, I am afraid that the news that the real dragon has begun activities in the Dongting area should be conclusive. Thinking of this, we feel that the harvest of this day is quite great. Not only did we learn who the heroes from all walks of life were involved in this matter,
, and also confirmed the existence of real dragons.
It was late at night, and my uncle went to bed early because his newly-dressed left arm was still adapting. Duoduo sat cross-legged next to me and practiced Kung Fu, while Zamao Xiaodao and I were not sleepy at all, talking in this poor guest house.
Speaking of what Luo Xiazi said just now, although there is something in his words and another meaning, when I come here to look at it this time, it actually makes sense.
Think of the Longhu Mountain, Laoshan, Ciyuan Pavilion and other Jianghu sects, all the scattered people are like crucian carp crossing the river, and there are also the one-word swords of the top ten masters in the world, the demons of the evil spirit sect, and even the masters of the inner circle, etc.
The people and others were in a turmoil for a while. Who could eat dry food, who could fish for rare things, who accompanied the prince to study, and who lost his wife and soldiers. All these intricate relationships changed this originally
The mysterious and strange Dongting Lake has become extremely turbid due to direct mixing, which is really depressing.
Zamao Xiaodao was sitting cross-legged on the bed, laying the Thunder Punishment flat on his legs. We chatted about the situation, and saw a faint light flowing from the sword edge of the Thunder Punishment. I said that the Thunder Punishment seemed to be getting more and more powerful.
What's going on?
Zamao Xiaodao caressed the body of the Thunder Penalty Sword as if caressing a lover, nodded, and said that when you kill more powerful characters, your mind will gain enlightenment and your sword will make progress. This is a matter of course.
Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something and asked me if I wanted to take a look with a vibrator. I took out the bronze mirror and showed it to him. Zamao Xiaodao touched his past works and ran his fingers along the runes of the Hell-Breaking Curse. Suddenly
He went crazy and asked me to look after him. I was confused and said that this thing was only against evil forces and nothing else, no matter whether it was looking after people, cats or dogs, it was useless.
Zamao Xiaodao ignored him and let me try, so I raised the vibrator and shined it towards Zamao Xiaodao's head. The blue light shrouded Zamao Xiaodao's face and changed unpredictably. I put away the vibrator and asked him how he was doing?
Mao Xiaodao raised a finger and said, "It lasted for more than a second. It was numb instantly and the Qi movement was blocked. Your mirror spirit has obviously been cultivated and can shine on people."
Hearing what Zamao said, I couldn't help but feel overjoyed. When I thought about it carefully, it should have been caused by the wife's mirror spirit devouring many mirror nightmares when the magic mirror array was destroyed in Sanya.
Zamao Xiaodao's cultivation level is relatively advanced. If it were someone else, it might be longer.
This incident made me happy, and all the worries in my mind were gone. Needless to say, there were many experiments at the moment. I got up early the next morning, washed up, and went out to buy some breakfast. As a result, I just arrived at the door of the first floor.
