As soon as the sword came out, everyone's eyes widened and they froze on the spot. . . People like them who make a living by fishing have never seen such mysterious things before. Now that they saw it with their own eyes, the shock in their hearts was indescribable. After a while, the old man came to his senses first. His face was full of surprise and he said excitedly: "Taoist Master is really a god. I hope Taoist Master will take pity on us people and get rid of this scourge for us!" After that, he made a 'plop' sound. After kneeling down, the people behind him also reacted and followed the old man to kneel on the ground. "You don't have to be like this. It's my job to slay demons. Now that I'm here, I won't stand by and watch. Please get up quickly." After Li Xuan finished speaking, he raised his hand and used a soft force. After everyone listened, they saw the Taoist priest in front of them wave his hand gently, and a soft energy came over them. Before they understood what was going on, they were lifted up one after another. While they were grateful, most of their hearts dropped. I think, with this magic, it is possible to subdue demons. Immediately, everyone¡¯s voice of gratitude rang out. Seeing the joy on everyone's faces, Li Xuan said lightly: "Don't thank me yet. I haven't known the nature of water since I was a child. This person who kills monsters and eliminates harm has to choose one of you who has good water nature. Take me." Only when the sword is in the water can we succeed!" After Li Xuan finished speaking, he looked embarrassed, but he was secretly happy in his heart. It is not impossible to say that this cultivator is afraid of water, but it is a bit unrealistic for a person like him to be afraid of water. Not to mention that this is still his kingdom of God, even in places such as the Yellow Spring and the Sea of ??Bitterness, as long as He can go back and forth without any hindrance if he wants to. Of course, the reason why he said these words has his own intention. After Li Xuan finished speaking, there was a commotion in the crowd. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but didn't say a word. After a while, the old man who just spoke coughed slightly and said, "Taoist priest, you don't know! We were all frightened by the water monster. Besides, none of these people are from a family of young and old. If he is buried at the bottom of the river, the family will have no one to rely on, so now if we ask people to go down to slay the demons, I am afraid no one will dare to go" After the old man finished speaking, he sighed. After glancing at everyone, Li Xuan pretended to be disappointed, put away his sword, sighed and turned around to leave. After taking only two steps, he heard a thick voice from behind: "Taoist Master, please wait a moment, I am willing to go down to the river." After all, to get rid of this scourge, please lend me the magic weapon." Turning his back to the crowd, Li Xuan's eyes flashed with approval, and then he slowly turned around and looked at the person who spoke, only to see the crowd. After that, two burly men stood like iron towers. They saw a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a tiger's eyes with cold stars, a round sky, a square corner, a clear spirit, and a pair of eyes that were resolute and resolute. Although they did not understand the art of cultivating the way of heaven, But there is also a hint of innate virility. Looking at the man in front of him, Li Xuan secretly praised: "What a body, it would be a pity if you don't practice Taoism!" Then he asked: "What is your name? As the old man said just now, you are brave and fearless. Or maybe I have no worries, otherwise how could I dare to do this?" When the man asked, he quickly bowed and replied: "Reply to the Taoist priest, my surname is Zhang, because I am good at water, so everyone calls me Zhang Xiaolong." Having said this, Zhang Xiaolong paused for a moment, his expression a little gloomy, and then said: "I have had no parents since I was a child. I only relied on the support of my neighbors to grow up to this day. It's okay to say that I have no worries. In order to repay These fellow villagers, whether they live or die today, as long as I can get rid of this water monster, I will have no complaints even if I die." "Good, good! You are a strong man, but you have to think about it, even though the magic weapon of the poor can still be cured. That water monster, but things at the bottom of the river are ever-changing and beyond my control! If anything happens, I will regret it!" As soon as Li Xuan finished speaking, the old man said: "Yes, Xiaolong. , this is too risky, I think we should wait for a few days, and then we can all discuss it, and then invite an immortal master who knows water to come" "Yes, Xiaolong! Listen to Dad, you must not go down. Ah, it's too risky" The old man started, and everyone started to persuade him again. Looking at the sincere eyes of the villagers, Zhang Xiaolong's eyes gradually became moist: "Fellow folks, you don't need to say anything. I know what I am doing. If I don't kill the monster today, I, Zhang Xiaolong, will never go ashore." Zhang Xiaolong's eyes Fierce persistence burst out from inside again. Without waiting for anyone to speak, he turned to Li Xuan and said, "Please give me a treasure, Taoist Master! No matter life or death, I have no regrets or regrets." Li Xuan looked around, but everyone was hesitant to speak. Then he said to Zhang Xiaolong: "Okay! This sword is of extraordinary quality. You can just go into the water with this sword later and follow my instructions. It will be fine. Then you can just throw this sword into the water monster's lair and you will get a wonderful response." Even if things change, I will try my best to keep you safe."?, when he turned his hand, the purple light flashed, and the three-foot long sword appeared in front of everyone again. When everyone was sighing, they saw Li Xuan holding the sword in one hand, making the secret in the other hand, and two flying talismans were driven into the sword body, handing it over. After giving Zhang Xiaolong instructions on how to use it, he asked Zhang Xiaolong to go down to the river. Zhang Xiaolong held the sword in his hand and suddenly felt a warm warmth coming from his hand. He turned back to look at the villagers, gritted his teeth, and turned towards the river. Looking at Zhang Xiaolong¡¯s resolute departure, Li Xuan nodded slightly, with a smile on his face. "Xiaolong, you must be careful!" "If you can't fight the water monster, hurry up and come ashore, and we will think of a way" Amidst the shouts of everyone, there was a sound of "plop" and a wave of water rippled on the surface of the river. A small splash of water was submerged in the rolling waves in the blink of an eye The river section here is extremely fast due to the terrain. If it weren't for a person like Zhang Xiaolong who is proficient in water and has a strong body, he would have been swept away without a trace before he reached the bottom of the water. Zhang Xiaolong picked up his sword and walked to the river bank. He took a look at the rolling water, took a deep breath, jumped into the river, using his hands and feet, and dived all the way. At first, he could still feel the undercurrent, and the waves covered his eyes. The deeper we dive, the clearer our vision becomes. I think it is because the bottom of the river is not affected by the surface of the water and the floating mud is immobile. It is actually clearer than the top. After diving to a depth of perhaps tens of meters, the surrounding light begins to dim again. Come down and hover in the water. Through the layers of water curtains, you can vaguely see a huge pit under two water rocks in the distance. It is so dark inside that you can't see any further. You can only vaguely see the huge pit. After sneaking for some distance, Zhang Xiaolong was able to see the full picture of the pit: it was a pit between two huge rocks, with a radius of no less than twenty feet, and an irregular entrance. It is round, surrounded by dense aquatic plants. Looking from the outside, it is dark and dark. From time to time, there are bubbles as big as a water tank emerging from the dark hole. Occasionally, fish and shrimps are also panicked here. Looking at the pit not far away that looked like the mouth of a beast, Zhang Xiaolong felt nervous for no reason and secretly said: "It seems that this is the hiding place of the water monster. According to the rules. The chief said, just throw this sword into the nest, but this sword is so small, it may not be as big as one of the monster's teeth" Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaolong couldn't help but pick up the sword and look closer. After taking a look, I saw that the sword body had lost its previous splendor. Now it looked like a wooden sword. It was light and effortless in my hand. At the moment, I was a little undecided: "This is strange, this sword is in The Taoist Master's hand was so bright that it was so bright, how come it was like rotten wood and a feather in my hand? Why! No matter, for the sake of the fellow villagers on the shore, I will risk my life today, but I will not throw the sword from this far away. The sword is light and the water is strong, and I am afraid that it will be washed away by the current before it reaches the entrance of the cave. " Zhang Xiaolong made up his mind, emboldened himself, turned around, and swam towards the dark pothole again; this time he dived much deeper. For a time, unprecedented water pressure came from all directions. In this situation, If it were an ordinary person, he would probably suffocate to death if he were not crushed to death under the water. However, Zhang Xiaolong did not panic and slowly dived down. He had grown up by this river since he was a child, and the hard work The environment not only cultivated a body that is so strong that it is enviable, but the breath-holding skills under the water are unmatched by anyone within a hundred miles. It usually takes more than five or six minutes for ordinary people, but for him, he can just be bored for about twenty minutes. It was no big deal. Of course, these innate conditions were also an important factor in his daring to come here alone. Zhang Xiaolong swam very carefully, trying not to make any noise. Gradually, he was getting closer and closer to the cave entrance, surrounded by water. The layer began to tremble regularly, and he could faintly hear some strange sounds. He concluded that these were definitely not what ordinary fish could make. "Getting closergetting closerI finally saw it clearlyOh my God!" Zhang Xiaolong's eyes were round as he stared at the huge hole in disbelief. He almost couldn't control the breath in his chest and abdomen and exclaimed. From Zhang Xiaolong's point of view, there was a hole in the turbid and dark hole. The huge water beast with the head of a snake and the body of a turtle is crawling at the bottom of the pit, with its eyes closed. Its body, which is nearly half the size of a football field, almost occupies most of the space of the nest. The water is rippling, and bubbles are constantly coming from the nostrils as big as the mouth of a pot. Emerged, swayed, and floated upward. ' Zhang Xiaolong swam gently to the side of the pothole, found a rock that could cover him, stopped, stuck his head out again, looked at the water monster, and thought: "Maybe this guy is resting after eating enough! It seemed like now was the perfect time to get rid of it. "Thinking in his mind, he tightened his sword tightly, gritted his teeth suddenly, leaned out half of his body, used all his strength to throw his sword towards the water monster, and at the same time recited several paragraphs dictated by Li Xuan before he left. The spell. But as soon as the sword was released, a dazzling purple light shot out, making a slight sword whine, as fast as thunder and lightning, in the dark river.?Crossed an arc and headed straight for the water monster. As soon as the sword was released, Zhang Xiaolong felt as if he had put down a thousand kilograms of weight. He suddenly felt a lot lighter, but his eyes were still fixed on the purple light that was related to whether he could return to the shore safely. "Ding" In a very short period of time, a harsh sound of gold and iron clashing came. Zhang Xiaolong quickly looked at it, only to see that the sword struck the thick back of the water monster, and the strong impact only A piece the size of a washbasin was cut off from the back shell, but it did not penetrate the hard shell of the water monster. The invisible shock wave stirs up layers of undercurrents and spreads around. "Roar" Before Zhang Xiaolong could recover, a dull roar came from the pit, and the sleeping water monster was angered by the sudden attack. It is the king here. Since the opening of spiritual wisdom, no creature has ever dared to challenge his authority. But today, this long-established detachment has been touched, and someone actually dared to sneak attack under his nose. Although he was not injured, how could his dignity as the king of the water tribe here forgive such a small violation? Speaking of this monster, there is also a lot of history; it was born from the intercourse of a thousand-year-old dragon and a huge turtle, named the monster turtle. This thing has foreign roots, and it requires a lot of spiritual energy from heaven and earth to help it get rid of it. The body, once grown, can be large or small. There is also the ferocity of a dragon and the tough armor of a giant tortoise. Although this thing is a hybrid species of turtle, its shape is very similar. The body is like a turtle, the head is like a snake, there is a dragon tail, and there are eight short legs under the abdomen for paddling. It has a pointed mouth, red eyes, and can spray poisonous mist from its mouth. After the weather has matured, the poisonous mist sprayed from the mouth gradually condenses. No matter what magic weapon it is, if it is stained with feces, humans and animals will die if they smell even a little bit. In addition, it can also control the wind and rain, and turn the rivers and seas upside down, which is very powerful. Decades ago, the pitiful spiritual energy in the world wanted to realize its true form, but it was unknown how many years or months it would take. Therefore, the demon turtle extinguished the ferocious nature of the dragon and became a turtle. The quiet days are coming. At first, its body was not as big as it is now, and its temperament was quite gentle. On weekdays, it only found some aquatic plants, fish and shrimps at the bottom of the river to feed itself, then returned to its nest and slept soundly. But it must be said that this thing is approaching its end of life and does not have the good fortune to soar across the nine heavens. About a few decades ago, in this world, for some reason, the spiritual energy suddenly became richer. The level was far greater than before. In this world, Brother, the innate habits contained in the nature of this demon turtle are gradually revealed, so it absorbs the essence of the sun every day, swallows the brilliance of the moon, and condenses the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into it. It also preys on the essence and blood of passing water animals every day to nourish its body. In this way , in less than ten years, it has been cultivated to the point where it is now. Although it is not a threat to the weather, it is still beyond the control of ordinary human beings The demon turtle was attacked, and amid the roar of its angry holes, it could only be seen with its eight legs digging. He moved, turning his huge body suddenly, a pair of green eyes searching in the dim water; and as his body turned, the invisible huge force stirred the waters around it. For a time, the undercurrent surged, and groups of The aquatic creatures scrambled to flee in all directions, and at this time, on the river above it, waves suddenly appeared, carrying a lot of white foam. Then, countless fish, shrimps, turtles and the like followed the waves and fled down the stream like flying. Suddenly, a strange wind blew up from the ground, causing the silver waves to roll. Snow waves covered the sky, making the sky dark and the earth dark. Looking at the sudden change in the river surface, Li Xuan said softly, with some surprise flashing in his eyes. He was obviously a little unexpected for this naturally occurring monster in the Kingdom of God. He flew a powerful beam towards the river, pointed at the ground, and shouted: "Stop!" After a while, the wind calmed down and the waves disappeared in an instant. In the turbidity, the two eyes of the demon turtle were flashing with a strange green light, like huge lanterns in the darkness, reflecting a strange green color in the surrounding water. Before the shocked Zhang Xiaolong could recover, He saw those huge eyes looking towards him. For a moment, the surrounding area was illuminated by green light, and the rock he was on was also revealed. "Oops!" The moment the green light hit his hiding place, Zhang Xiaolong exclaimed in his heart. Regardless of whether he could get past the water monster, he suddenly used his legs on the rock to use force, and spread his hands and feet without knowing the direction. , just rowing away desperately. Everyone says that when a person is under great threat, he can often unleash a potential that is far out of proportion to his usual potential. Zhang Xiaolong probably belongs to this type at this time. He used his hands and feet at the same time, and his speed was even faster than running on the ground. quick. Zhang Xiaolong moved very quickly, and in the blink of an eye he had already moved ten feet away, but in such a rage, how could the demon turtle let him go? When he was swimming happily, he felt the temperature of the water behind him drop suddenly, and the biting undercurrents were like invisible ropes winding around him. The powerful force made him roll over and over again, and his hands and feet were numb. He couldn't tell the difference between east, west, north and south. In a daze, he saw a bloody mouth getting closer and closer. He could even see the cold light flashing on the huge fangs clearly. "Probably Zhang Xiaolong also knew that he was doomed at this time, and thought to himself: "Whatever, whatever! TodayEven if I die here, I will be worthy of my father and fellow countrymen who have been kind to me" Thinking of this, he felt calm in his heart. He turned around, fixed himself, stared at the huge cave-like mouth, and quietly Just when Zhang Xiaolong thought he was going to die, he saw a purple sword light shooting out from behind the demon turtle's huge body without any warning, breaking through the residual green mist, and heading straight towards the demon turtle. In a daze, Zhang Xiaolong took a closer look and couldn't help but feel overjoyed: "Isn't this the sword I threw just now? Ha ha! "The immortal master really didn't lie to me. This sword is really a sacred object." ' At this time, the demon turtle saw that the barbarian who dared to offend it was about to become the object of its mouth. It was feeling happy when it suddenly felt that the water behind it was surging, and layers of dark energy blew up and made the green hair on its body tremble. It was frightened. At this moment, it felt a dazzling purple light, and a three-foot long sword came out of the air with a powerful and sharp sword light. It could feel the threat of the sword light to itself, and in desperation, it turned around and spat out a ball of sword light. The green energy was able to withstand the sword light in the middle, and it took another puff to push the sword light out for more than a hundred steps. ?Looking at the sword light again, it still did not retreat for a day, hovering in the same place. When the green energy dissipated, it let out a joyous cry and started to kill the demon turtle. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Exhales the green energy, and then rushes back the sword light. This is repeated five or six times, the swords come and go, and they can't hold on for a while. (To be continued)
