Boating in the lake, the fog is like thin smoke.
Unexpectedly, the whole boat bumped slightly against something, which made Yun Zhong come back to his senses. He looked at the bottom of the boat, but he was surprised to find that there was a huge rock beside the boat. He slightly poked out of the water and pointed at the distance. If he didn't add more Pay attention, but it turns out that it is really like an old turtle swimming in the middle of the lake. It floats up into the water and deliberately goes to hit the bottom of the boat, causing the people in the boat to panic.
It seems that no one has ever mentioned that there is a huge boulder about an arm's length in the lake, lying in the middle of the lake. It is rare that Yun Zhong is in a state of confusion at this moment, but he uses enough strength to lift it with an oar, and the boulder does not move at all, as if It takes root with one step and is difficult to stir up even a little bit. However, Yun Zhong suddenly remembered some rumors. People in the village said that there was no such lake here originally. Instead, there was an old snake that almost shed five claws. A deep pit was created. At first, some people looked at it from a distance and thought it was a rockfall from the sky. It created a huge pit with a depth of thirty to fifty feet. When they stepped forward to take a closer look, they almost frightened the big snake that looked like a mountain. My soul was lost and I didn't dare to take a step forward.
However, many years later, a large lake was added to this place, which reached several waves, attracting many people to settle here and make a living as a fisherman and woodcutter. In the end, no one had ever seen the mountain that looked like a giant snake, but the weather was clear. At that time, it had not rained for many days and the lake surface was low. Many people had seen an eye that seemed to be protruding from the center of the lake. However, no one had dared to approach. They were all worried, thinking of the giant snake in the rumors. , for fear of causing disaster.
Now that the mist is filling the air, the round stone with roots falling under Yun Zhong's eyes looks exactly like the eye of the lake that people in the village said, and there is a straight long mark in the middle, which looks very similar to the eye of a snake. resemblance.
"Let's do some calculations. There must be some good things in this lake, and they may be related to your already weakened meridians. The things are under the lake. It's up to you to decide whether to take them or not."
A man suddenly walked out of the mist and crossed the river with a reed. The yellow reed left his feet and he sat on the bow of the boat. He spoke calmly without changing his face. He raised his hand to retrieve the reed, turned it into a yellow rope, and put it on his shoulder.
"If I want to elaborate more, there is indeed an old snake in the lake, but that object is no longer useful to it. If you want to transform into a snake body and turn into a dragon in this world, it will be a dead end. Even if I go to get it, it may not be too difficult for you. To be honest, that old snake spirit with good moral character may not still be alive in the world now. It is innocuous and can nourish your meridians. It is such a good thing. It’s not common.”
Yan Jiaqing rarely intimidated others. Except for that day when he was blocking the road outside the village, he almost always let the young man do whatever he wanted. Now that he proposed, he had no intention of forcing him. He sat down on the bow of the boat and glanced at the jar of steamed wine. He was quite surprised. He curled his lips in dissatisfaction and said, "I've been drinking too much good wine lately, and I've developed a bad appetite. I really don't care about ordinary drinks like this."
"Mr. Yan, will you arrive early in the morning? There are treasures in this lake?" The young man did not move, sat down safely on the spot, and asked casually.
"Otherwise, with your luck, how could you be here by chance? You and I know some things well when we don't say them, but if we say them out loud, it may not be interesting. Young man is so shameless. If you can't hang on, I won't say much." Stretching out his body, Yan Jiaqing clearly slept very comfortably yesterday, pursed his lips and said, "With the Yellow Dragon here, everything in the water in the world will have to retreat, not to mention that big tail. You’re a bit of a loach, you haven’t accepted the job as a fisherman yet, so don’t worry, I won’t let you die halfway.”
The young man took off his outer clothes, only wearing short brown clothes, and glanced at Yan Jiaqing lightly.
"I just want to do something for myself. In the past, I definitely wouldn't have followed Mr. Yan's wishes." Immediately, he jumped straight into the water, and in an instant his body disappeared into the water of Tiantian Lake, making it difficult to see anything.
Yan Jiaqing on the boat raised his eyebrows and smiled gradually. Sure enough, the one in black has the upper hand today. For a young boy who has not lived in this world for many years, it cannot be said to be a bad thing no matter how you look at it, turning into a weed on the wall and falling in the wind. At least I have the intention to fight for my own happiness, instead of just thinking about whether it will affect others as usual, I think more about myself.
So Yan Jiaqing was very happy, so happy that he deigned to drink a jar of ordinary steamed wine, and threw the yellow rope in his hand into the water, which instantly extended to the bottom of the lake dozens of feet away.
Yun Zhong knew how to swim. Even though he had not been to the lake for a long time, he now remembered them all and cut through the lake water until he submerged into the depths. It wasn't until the young man swam downstream for a few breaths that he realized why he couldn't pry off the round stone. It was not a square stone floating on the surface of the lake. It turned out that this stone was connected to the bottom of the lake, like a giant pillar, which was dozens of feet long. The depth is so deep that if you rely on human power, it would probably be difficult to touch the heel. Yun Zhong held his breath, and it was only about fifty or sixty breaths at most. He had only entered the lake three feet away, and he already felt a tightness in his chest. However, he still hadn't seen the object Yan Jiaqing mentioned. He had to count the seconds and go down two feet deeper. After all, it was I saw a fluorescent orchid that was 67% similar to the snake orchid given to me by the old man who transformed the bamboo leaves into human form, but now it was set in stone and glowed all over.
The lake shook.
A dark green snake head came out of the water. Compared with the small boat in front of him, it was three to five times larger. His yellow eyes stared at Yan Jiaqing who was still drinking. Then he looked at the young man in the water. The snake head was raised ten times. After a few feet, he slowly opened his mouth.
Yan Jiaqing was almost blown off the bow of the boat by the strong wind, and raised his head and glared angrily. The fishy smell in the Shekou was very strong, and Yan Jiaqing originally had more than half of the steamed wine left in his hand. Now that he had it, he no longer had the intention to drink it. Instead, he pulled the yellow rope back, raised his head and cursed loudly.
"I'm just a loach in the pond. I gave you some face so as not to act murderous in front of the younger generation, but you came to the door on your own. I know that you already know people's words. Let me ask you, is it great to be tall? "
Huang Long shook his head and swung his tail to reveal his figure. He glanced at the giant snake with a slight disdain, and then with disdain again, lazily lying on the shoulder of the upright scholar.
It was clear that the yellow dragon was only three feet long. The giant snake took one look at it, but its eyes suddenly stood up, and it closed its mouth. The whole body trembled slightly, and then it bowed one after another as if to bow, parting the water waves, leaving only one The turbulence below is swirling, and I don't dare to stay for long.
Yan Jiaqing, on the other hand, let out a sigh of relief and sat in the boat, looking slightly happy.
But I never thought that there was indeed a big man living here, the old snake of the four realms. If he really used his hands, he might not be able to win surely. Fortunately, although the yellow dragon is not a living creature, it has enough power and is alive and well. To scare away the four-realm snake monster just now, not to mention other things, the monster's body is as solid as gold and stone. If we really go to war, at least the villages and ruins around the lake may not be able to survive.
"Fortunately, the world no longer allows snake monsters to leap over the dragon's gate. Otherwise, I would really capsize in this gutter today." After finally calming down, Yan Jiaqing let out a long breath, but shook his head with a wry smile, "Obviously When I try to persuade people, I am very convincing, but when it comes to this matter, I may not be able to resist the idea of taking action. The authorities are obsessed with things, and what the elders say is absolutely correct."
After the old snake the size of a mountain entered the water, it was not in a hurry to leave. Although the yellow dragon he saw just now was very powerful, it never really showed its methods. The snake demon has been around for many years, and its eyesight has long been as clear as that of the old man in the world. Cunning, probably figured out that there was something fishy in this matter, but in the end he did not dare to step forward to test it. Instead, he retreated first and turned to keep an eye on the young man who had pulled Snake Orchid away most of the way, but he had no idea where the young man was at this moment. territory.
There are many rare treasures in the Snake Cave, especially orchids, which are the most abundant. This snake orchid is very old, but it has lost its ability to detoxify all kinds of poisons. It can only smooth the meridians, but it is tasteless and it is a pity to throw it away. , so the old snake did not want to go against that yellow dragon because of this. If it was really a yellow dragon, even if it climbed a few more levels, it would be enough to end up with a miserable end of being skinned and cramped.
It was at this time that the giant snake trembled slightly again.
Yun Zhong has always kept his sword close to his body. Even when he entered the lake this time, he actually fastened the water-fire swallowing sword on his waist tightly to his back. Now, with a glance in the water, the old snake realized that the mouth was full of smoke no matter how he looked at it. It was an extremely ordinary long sword, but the smoothness in the middle made my heart palpitate. I hurriedly dived into the bottom of the lake without looking back, closed my eyes, and curled up as if I was dead, without any more thoughts.
Yan Jiaqing on the boat was stunned for a moment, took back the yellow rope, and pondered carefully for a long time, still wondering why the giant snake escaped. He was clearly in the four realms, and he had never been so frightened when he encountered a yellow dragon. Why did he take a peek? After that, Yun Zhong was almost scared to death, and he thought hard for a while. It was not until the young man climbed onto the boat covered with lake water that he suddenly noticed the long sword on the young man's back. Even though he was enlightened, he bluntly said that Yun Zhong had received the favor of God today. , turning bad luck into good luck.
The young man didn't know why, so he just picked up the snake plant, which was as big as a human head. He didn't know where to hit it.
"You're just going to chew it, you still want me to teach you?" Yan Jiaqing frowned and winked at the young man, "Now that you are learning boxing, the meridians throughout your body have not been reshaped, but fortunately you are already strong in boxing. Pass it to the skin and flesh, thereby eliminating the medicinal power, and give all the essence to Qiu Lake, and then wait for its effect. However, if you may not be able to bear the pain of scraping bones for several days, it is better to leave it in this boat. To be more transparent, it was not you who ate this snake orchid, but the Qiuhu in your kid's belly."
Seeing that the young man was hesitant to speak, the scholar plucked his ears and stretched out his hand, "Bring me the money. What kind of wine do you want to drink? Tell me one day in advance. We are just running errands for you this time, but since it is so easy I am willing to think of getting some benefits for myself."
The literati were about to enter the season of thick fog, but the young man still managed to say thank you.
Yan Jiaqing grinned.
"You're welcome, but we're not from the same group, so I'll be fine with you."
