Ordinariness is the catalyst for the world of mortals. Only when the mind is like still water can it be calm and tranquil. Be ordinary, don't stick to what people say is right and wrong, don't be obsessed with wealth and fame, break away from the noise of the world, regard joys, sorrows, honors and disgrace as passing smoke, don't be dragged down by fame and fortune, don't be fettered by material desires, face life with a normal heart, and pursue The reading power of personality and the freedom of soul. ¡°Blandness not only gives people a pair of eyes that can see everything, but also gives them the freedom and ease of a comfortable person! Perhaps in this dark sky, plainness is the heart of Tao, and the true meaning in it is what 'Li Xuan' wants to realize and achieve at this time! After leaving the town, ¡®Li Xuan¡¯ walked along the small river. According to his idea, this river flows from west to east. Firstly, he can carefully understand the development experience of the Kingdom of God before he can completely let go. Secondly, he can also appreciate the scenery along the coast, appreciate the scenery and understand the natural way of the reproduction of the Kingdom of God. If he did both, he would be happy to follow suit. The river is quiet, like a bright mirror, reflecting green grass, trees and various wild flowers; it is also lively and lovely, with layers of waves rising in the wind and shining in the sun. Looking around, it is like a song Beautiful music is playing, lingering around. Walking on the river bank, "Li Xuan" couldn't help but feel a little heavy in his heart when he thought about the future of Yan Ran and others. He didn't feel anything at all at first, but now that he really wanted to give it up, he felt very uncomfortable. Sure enough, it's better to be confused. When he was in the Kingdom of God, he was so cool and heroic, but now he is walking hard, alone, and lonely "Li Xuan" walked forward silently, gradually going further and further away. Unconsciously, it was approaching dusk, and he was alone. The river next to it began to widen and the current became more rapid. From time to time, I could see wooden boats passing by slowly. After walking for a while, I saw a big river lying in front of me, but I saw that the river was turbulent and huge waves were rolling into the sky. , what a magnificent scene of the great river going eastward. Standing on the river bank, 'Li Xuan' couldn't help but be attracted by the magnificence and majesty of nature. As he was looking at it, he heard a noise in the distance. He looked for the sound and saw a group of men and women wearing raincoats and carrying fishing gear on their shoulders. They gathered around a big rock along the river and were arguing about something, with sounds of crying mixed in from time to time. "Looking at the appearance of these people, they are probably residents of this place, but why are they crying and making trouble by the river?" He stopped and listened for a while. Due to the noise of people, he did not enter here with the power of his will, so at this moment he was just equivalent to a god. The incarnation of the master of the country, and without using his powers, he could not hear the reason with his ears. He was suspicious, so he stepped forward to find out. As I got closer, the noisy and crying sounds became more and more clear, and I heard one of the old women crying: "Damn water monster, please give me the lives of my family of three" She shouted, and she was about to scream. She ran toward the surging river, but fortunately there were many people on the shore, so they caught her with all their hands and feet. "Auntie, there is no resurrection after death, yousave your condolences!" A lean young man next to the old woman comforted her. At this time, a man walked out of the crowd. He was about 20 years old. He was tall and strong, and looked like an iron tower against his dark skin. After looking around for a week, the man said to everyone: "I think this water monster has probably attained enlightenment. Otherwise, how could it cause trouble? If we don't get rid of it, not only will our livelihood be cut off from now on, but we don't know how many innocent people will be killed in the future." My life is in its hands How about we ask an immortal master to come and subdue the demon?" As soon as the man finished speaking, he heard an old man of half a century standing next to him say: "The Zhang family is right, but we are right. In these ten miles and eight villages, I have not heard of any good immortal masters. I need to think about this matter again. Otherwise, if I randomly hire someone with shallow Taoist skills, my life will be wasted in vain. When the time comes, I'm afraid that if the water monster is angered, the big guys will be implicated!" The old man's words made sense, and everyone suddenly lost their minds. They all sighed and looked at the rolling river water at a loss. Just when everyone was almost desperate, they heard a voice coming from far away: "I traveled thousands of miles to the green mountains and the sky, and the vast sky did not pass through the years; I wonder where the immortal family is, and the world of mortals asked about the immortal years." Everyone is looking for reputation. When I went there, I saw a tall young Taoist man with flying robes and high spirits, coming slowly. At first he was only a stone's throw away, but in the blink of an eye he was close. Everyone looked at this scene with surprise and suspicion. The Taoist walked up to the crying old woman and asked, "Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, I just passed by this place and heard the aunt crying sadly. I wonder why?" Without waiting for the old woman to answer, the old man who had spoken earlier had a confused expression. He changed, took two steps forward and cupped his hands and said: "I don't know what to call this Taoist Priest. I'm going to be polite here. We were just worried about the water monster in the river harming people. I wonder if the Taoist priest has a way to subdue the monster?" " The person who came was none other than 'Li Xuan'. He had probably heard it clearly from a distance just now. He had already set out to eliminate harm. Coming here now was just a formality. Listening to what the old man said, 'Li Xuan' smiled and said: "Old sir, there is no need to be polite. I am a poor Taoist Xuanyang."?I wonder what the monster you are talking about is and what abilities it has? " Hearing this, the old man sighed slightly and said, "It seems that the Taoist priest is not a local, so he may not know much about our place. The section of the river we are on has a nickname, Nielong Cave, which is the deepest part of the river. The most dangerous place. There is a water monster at the bottom of the river. Speaking of this monster is also strange. Our ancestors have lived by this river and have never heard of any rumors about water monsters. It was about ten years ago. One day, there was a sudden sound on the river. There was a strong wind, which made the sky dark and the earth dark, and the sun and the moon were dim. Many fishing boats working on the river were swept into the bottom of the river by the big waves. Fortunately, I happened to collect the net and went ashore at that time. I heard a cry for help behind me. When I looked back, I saw a monster with the body of a turtle and the head of a snake appearing on the river with its teeth and claws. The body of the water monster's back shell was very large, as long and wide as several acres of land. When it turned left and right, there were huge waves, wind, rain, thunder and lightning. Along with it, all the ships, big and small, around it would break up and sink as long as they touched the edge, and all the living and livestock would be eaten by it. Alas! Now that I think about it, I still feel scared" "Li Xuan" smiled unconsciously after hearing this. In fact, before he appeared, he had already used his spiritual sense to investigate, and there was indeed a body lurking at the bottom of the river. A huge monster, but it is not as powerful as the old man described. It is nothing more than a natural alien species. It has inherited some talents and has the ability to move wind and rain. When it comes to Taoism, I am afraid it is not as good as the monsters in the Four Symbol Realm. He was also a little strange, why the world in this country has undergone some substantial changes, and even has a trend of ancient times and orientalization. Is this the result of the integration and reproduction of his own origin? Putting aside these thoughts, "Li Xuan?" ¡¯ Then he laughed and said: ¡°I thought it was something great, but it turned out to be an untransformed demon turtle. You don¡¯t have to be so pessimistic! When I take a sample of the magic weapon and give it to you, you can get rid of this malignant tumor. "After 'Li Xuan' finished speaking, he opened his mouth and spit out a little purple light, stretched out his hand to catch it, and swung it into the wind, turning it into a purple sword about three feet long. He held it in his hand, but he saw purple lights moving back and forth, and the light was hesitant. It was obvious at first sight that it was not an ordinary thing. As soon as the sword came out, everyone stared blankly at the scene. People like them who make a living by fishing have never seen such a mysterious thing. , seeing it with my own eyes, the shock in my heart was indescribable. After a while, the old man came to his senses first, with a face full of surprise, and said excitedly: "The Taoist Master is really a god, I hope the Taoist Master has mercy on us people. , get rid of this scourge for us! " After saying that, he knelt down with a 'plop'. The people behind him also reacted at this time, and they all knelt down with the old man. "You don't have to do this. It's my job to slay demons. At this point, I won¡¯t just sit back and watch, everyone please get up quickly. "'Li Xuan' finished speaking and raised his hand to blow out a soft force. After everyone listened, they saw the Taoist priest in front of them wave his hand gently, and there was a soft Qi force. Before they understood what was going on, they were all Holding it up, most of the hearts were filled with gratitude. They all thought that with this magic, there was a chance of defeating the demon. Suddenly, everyone's voice of gratitude was heard, and 'Li Xuan' looked at the joy on everyone's faces. He said: "Don't thank me yet. I haven't known the name of water since I was a child. This person who kills monsters and eliminates harm has to choose one of you who has a good water name. He can use my sword to enter the water to succeed!" " "Li Xuan" finished speaking, with a look of embarrassment on his face, but he was secretly happy in his heart. "It is not impossible to say that this Taoist cultivator is afraid of water, but it would be a bit strange for a person like him to be afraid of water. It's unrealistic, not to mention that this is just a river, even if it's a place like mountains and seas of swords and fire, he can go back and forth without any hindrance. Of course, the reason why he said this is because 'Li Xuan' has his own intention. After saying that, there was a commotion in the crowd. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't say a word. After a while, the old man who just spoke coughed slightly and said, "Taoist Master." I do not know! We all were frightened by the water monster. Besides, none of us had children at home. If we were buried at the bottom of the river, the children in the family would have nothing to rely on. So now we have to ask people to get rid of the monster. , I'm afraid no one dares to go" After the old man finished speaking, he couldn't help sighing. 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 I heard a thick voice from behind: "Taoist, please wait a moment. I am willing to go down to the bottom of the river to get rid of this scourge. I also ask the Taoist to lend me the magic weapon." " Turning his back to the crowd, 'Li Xuan' had a flash of approval in his eyes. Then he slowly turned around and looked at the person who spoke. Behind the crowd, he saw a burly man standing like an iron tower, but Seeing the back of a tiger and the waist of a bear, the eyes of a tiger are cold stars, the heaven is round, the corners of the land are square, the spirit is full of energy, and a pair of eyes are resolute and resolute. Although I don't understand the art of cultivating the way of heaven, I still have a vague feeling.??Innate fierceness. Looking at the man in front of him, 'Li Xuan' secretly praised in his heart: "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 You have no fear, or no worries, otherwise how could you dare to do this?" When the man asked, he quickly bowed and replied: "Taoist priest, my surname is Zhang, because my water surname is good, so everyone knows me. Call me Zhang Xiaolong." At this point, Zhang Xiaolong paused, looking a little gloomy, and then said: "I haven't had my parents since I was a child. I only relied on the help of my neighbors to grow up to where I am today. It's okay to say that I don't have any worries. To repay these villagers and elders, no matter whether I live or die today, as long as I can get rid of this water monster, I will never complain even if I die." I can still control the water monster, but things at the bottom of the river are so unpredictable that I can't take care of them! If anything goes wrong, I'll regret it!" As soon as Li Xuan finished speaking, he heard the old man say. : "Yes, Xiaolong, this is too risky. I think it's better to wait for a few days. We can all discuss it and then invite an immortal master who knows water to come" "Yes, Xiaolong! Listen, Dad. "Yeah, you must not go down, 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 again, and without waiting for anyone to speak, he turned to 'Li Xuan' and said, "Please give me a treasure, Taoist Master! Regardless of life or death, I have no regrets or regrets." 'Li Xuan' looked around and saw everything he wanted. He stopped talking and then 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. As long as there is no serious problem, you can just throw this sword into the water monster's lair. I have a good answer, even if there is a change, I will try my best to keep you safe." As he said that, 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 it. Li Xuan held the sword in one hand and kneaded the secret with the other. He punched two flying talismans into the sword body, handed it to Zhang Xiaolong, and explained how to use it, and then 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 find a way" Amidst the shouts of everyone, there was a "plop" and a wave rippled on the river. A small splash of water was submerged in the rolling waves in the blink of an eye Due to the terrain, the river section here is extremely fast. If it weren't for a man like Zhang Xiaolong who is proficient in water and has a strong body, he would have been swept away before he even reached the bottom of the water. No trace left. Zhang Xiaolong picked up his sword and walked to the river bank. He took a look at the rolling river water, took a deep breath, jumped into the river, using his hands and feet together, and dived all the way. At the beginning, he could still feel the undercurrents surging, and the flood waves covered his eyes. The longer he dived, the deeper he dived. It was so deep that my eyes gradually became clear. I thought that the bottom of the river was not affected by the water surface and the floating mud did not move, so it was clearer than the top. After probably sneaking to a depth of tens of meters, the surrounding light began to dim again. He was hovering in the water. Through the layers of water curtains, he could vaguely see a giant pit under two water rocks in the distance. It was so dark inside that his eyesight stopped there. He couldn't move any further, and could only vaguely see the shape of the huge pit and the lush water plants on its edge. After sneaking for a while, Zhang Xiaolong was able to see the entire pit clearly; it was a pit between two huge rocks, with a radius of no less than twenty feet. The entrance was irregular in shape, and it was surrounded by overgrowth. Dense aquatic plants, looking from the outside, are completely dark. From time to time, bubbles as big as a water tank emerge from the dark hole. Occasionally, fish and shrimps come here and take a detour or return in panic. Back away. Looking at the pothole not far away that looked like a huge mouth of a wild 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 Taoist Master's instructions, all I have to do is throw this sword into that hole." The nest is enough, but this sword is so small, I'm afraid it's not as big as one of the monster's teeth" Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaolong couldn't help but pick up the sword, and looked closer, and saw that the sword body no longer had the previous teeth. It was so gorgeous that it looked like a wooden sword at this time. It was light and effortless in the hand. At the moment, I was a little undecided: "This is strange. The sword is so blazing in the hands of the Taoist leader. Why is it here?" It's like a piece of dead wood in my hand. Hey, no matter what, I will sacrifice myself today for the sake of the fellow villagers on the shore.I went out, but I didn't throw the sword from this far away. The sword was light and the water was strong, and I was afraid it would be washed away by the water before it reached 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 continued to dive slowly; he grew up by the river since he was a child, and the harsh environment not only He has developed a body that is so strong that it is enviable, and his breath-holding skills under water are unmatched by anyone within a hundred miles. It usually takes five or six minutes for an ordinary person, but he is good, even if he is bored for about twenty minutes, he can't do it. 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 got closer and closer to the cave entrance, and the surrounding water layer began to form. There were regular tremors, and he could faintly hear some strange noises. He concluded that this was definitely not something ordinary fish could make. Get closer get closer and finally see clearly Oh my God! De Niu Yuan stared at the huge hole in disbelief, almost unable to control the breath in his chest and abdomen, and exclaimed. From Zhang Xiaolong's perspective, in the turbid and dark pit, there was a snake head and a turtle body. The huge water beast was crawling at the bottom of the pit, with its eyes closed. Its body, which was nearly half the size of a football field, almost occupied most of the space in the nest. The water was rippling, and bubbles were constantly emerging from its nostrils as big as the mouth of a pot. Swinging and floating upward, Zhang Xiaolong swam gently to the side of the hole, found a rock to cover himself, and stopped. He stuck his head out again, looked at the water monster, and thought: "Is this possible? The guy is resting after eating! 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 in his mind what 'Li Xuan' dictated before he left. After a few spells, as soon as the sword was released, a dazzling purple light shot out, making a slight sword cry, and drew an arc across the dark river bottom, heading 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, and he 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 short period of time, there was a harsh sound of gold and iron clashing. Zhang Xiaolong quickly looked at it and saw that the place where the sword pierced was actually the thick back shell of the water monster. The strong impact only chipped away at the back shell. The next piece of debris the size of a washbasin came, but it didn't penetrate the water monster's hard shell. The invisible shock wave brought up layers of undercurrents and spread around. "Roar" Before Zhang Xiaolong could recover, it was dull. The roar came from the pit, and the sleeping water monster was angered by this sudden attack. It is the king here. Since the spiritual wisdom was opened, no creature has ever dared to challenge his authority, but today, this kind of water monster is angry. The detachment that I have cultivated for a long time was touched. Someone actually dared to attack me under my nose. Although I was not injured, how could I forgive such a small violation with my dignity as the king of the water tribe here?
