Above Taihu Lake.
Jun Bubai tried three swords in a row, but all the swords sank into the lake without a trace. The refraction of the bronze mirror in the lake gradually fades, and the people in Jingxuan Pavilion continue to emerge from the water.
Xie Husheng clenched his fist and asked, "Do you want to leave or stay?"
"Behind you is Suzhou City, you can't walk." Jun Bubai turned around and looked at Suzhou City and replied resolutely. The one at the bottom of the lake really woke up, overturned the fairy island, and the water of Taihu Lake poured into the city. There was a city of Suzhou people who couldn't let it go, not to mention the Tianxia Tower was among them, and as the owner of the building, he couldn't leave.
Xie Husheng reminded: "The thing at the bottom of the lake must have entered the realm of immortality. If you stay here, you may die."
Jun Bubai smiled miserably and said, "You can't leave then. If my mother finds out, she will break both of my legs if I go back."
Xie Husheng looked at Taihu Lake, clenched his fists, his green shirt fluttering in the frosty wind, and said with a smile: "It seems that Senior Su is more terrifying than the one at the bottom of the lake."
Jun Bubai formed the intention of the sword, covered his body with invisible sword armor, and added: "In these years, my father has been chopping firewood and lighting fires in Wuweilin. My master also has to use the sword to fetch water to water her vegetable garden. What do you think? "
"It's worthy of Senior Su to let two masters of Immortality Realm take action." Xie Husheng was even more impressed by such arrogance.
Jun Bubai imagined dozens of long swords standing in front of him, "What about you, why do you want to stay? The state of selflessness can come and go freely. Leaving is not something you can think of."
Xie Husheng turned his attention to the hinterland of the island, where there were houses with smoke.
If we had known in advance that the ancient mirror that Jingxuan Pavilion regarded as a treasure was to appease the thing at the bottom of the lake, we would never have knocked down the base of the ancient mirror with one punch. , but there are old, young, women and children on the island, they cannot be ruined because of my recklessness."
The two of them were similar in age, and Xie Husheng's character was deeply appreciated by Jun Bubai. After being interested in this matter, he exchanged glasses with him and made good friends. He said boldly: "After today's matter is over, please go to the third floor of the world." How about drinking on the upper floor, you won’t come home until you get drunk.”
Xie Husheng said bluntly: "I just broke the rules in your world and went to drink. I'm afraid I won't come out alive."
When he got up, he forgot what happened at Tianxialou. Jun Bubai smiled and said, "Then there will be a battle in Taihu Lake in three days. No matter we win or lose, you and I will drink on this shore afterwards."
"The immortals from Zhangjia Winery are quite good at drunkenness. Remember to bring more jars." There were frequent movements at the bottom of the lake. Xie Husheng opened his fists and stepped into the cave into the depths of the lake.
Jun Bubai used his sword to chase after him, but Jingxuan Pavilion collapsed in the distance. He glanced over and saw that the old man guarding the lake and Sui Dingfeng were using force along the lake shore.
How could those two people fight? Before they could figure out the reason, Xie Husheng had already punched at the bottom of the lake.
A cold wind suddenly rose at the bottom of the lake, and the water of Taihu Lake was noisy.
Jun Bubai protected himself with sword armor and swooped down. Dozens of long swords in front of him cut through the wind and pierced the bottom of the lake.
"Be careful." Xie Husheng stepped out of the middle of the lake, picked up Jun Bubai, and stepped into the air.
The frozen water of Taihu Lake was shattered by a roar, and the waves crashed on the shore, rolling up the sediment at the bottom of the lake.
Standing still in mid-air, Xie Husheng looked solemn, "That thing took a punch from me and didn't scratch out any wounds. It's a bit tricky."
While he was talking, dozens of long swords that Jun Bubai had dropped to the bottom of the lake turned back from the bottom of the lake and stabbed at the two of them.
Jun Bubai pointed his sword horizontally, put aside his long sword, and wore his sleeves with the wind.
A ball of water shot out from the bottom of the lake. Jun Bubai used his sword to block it, and the water line turned into countless water droplets, which missed the sword and flew towards it.
Xie Husheng punched him, but the water droplets evaporated and disappeared, "The one at the bottom of the lake has a mind, which is difficult to deal with."
Shadows floated in the water of Taihu Lake. Jun Bubai formed a ten-foot sword intention, turned around and asked, "If I split Taihu with my sword intention and let him reveal his body, how about you punch me with all your strength?"
Xie Husheng clenched his fist and responded, "You can give it a try."
The swords and armors all crossed to the left hand, and the palm of the hand was condensed ten feet away. The sword's intention was vertical and horizontal. Jun Bubai raised his hand and slashed with the sword. After practicing swordsmanship on the coast for several days, he can cut the sea with his sword and cut the lake with his sword.
The ten-foot sword fell down, and the water of Taihu Lake split open, revealing the mud, sand and floating algae at the bottom of the lake.
The spiritual creature's body emerged from the mud, its pupils were bright, and its figure was huge. The two of them could only see the tip of the iceberg.
Without the obstruction of the Dongting water, Xie Husheng took a step into the Dongting, dodged away from his pupils, and punched Wuji wildly. The spirit creature was on the Taihu Fairy Island, unable to move, and was frozen by the wind and frost of the fist.
Xie Husheng flashed back in mid-air, and the water of Taihu Lake merged into one, temporarily calming down, "The people in Jingxuan Pavilion have lived on the island for many years, there should be a way to appease that thing."
Jun Bubai pointed to the Jingxuan Pavilion that had fallen into the forest. "Jingxuan Pavilion has been destroyed. I guess you and I have to go to the island. There are elders in the clan there who can ask questions."
"You and I will go and come back quickly." Xie Husheng took a step towards the cave and was already eight hundred miles away.
Junbu Bai Yujian chased after him.
In the hinterland of Taihu Fairy Island, there are fields, fish ponds and countless villages.
In front of a fish pond, the house was built near the water. It stretched out half of the open space above the fish pond and was supported by several pillars.
There are lotus flowers planted in the fish pond. At this time of year, the flowers are in full bloom, and dragonflies are already standing on them.
On the fish pond, a little girl about four or five years old with braided hair ran out of the house sweating profusely. She took off her shoes and socks, stretched out her delicate feet to play in the water in the fish pond, and several red carp swam across the soles of her feet. The little girl giggled. She was at the age when her teeth were changing, and there were still a few new teeth missing in her mouth.
The fish pond is windy and the lotus pond is floating. The little girl leaned over and pinched a lotus pod from the fish pond, skillfully took out the lotus seeds, cracked the pulp with her hands, and put it into her mouth. Fresh lotus seeds are crisp and tender, perfect as a snack.
The woman in the house wearing coarse linen clothes held a basket, walked out to the open space, and put the dehydrated salted fish in the basket to dry in the sky.
The little girl tilted her head and asked: "Mom, when will dad come back?"
The woman was warmed by her daughter and replied with a smile: "It's almost over, just two or three days."
The little girl looked a little disappointed and said angrily: "My father is lying. He obviously promised to come back today, but I even ran back from the school to wait for him as soon as he got to school."
The woman spread the salted fish in the basket and coaxed softly: "Your father is planning to buy you cloth to make new clothes when you go out this time. There are so many colorful cloths in the city, your father must be spoiled for choice. Delayed the trip."
When she heard that her father had come back to buy cloth for her to make new clothes, the little girl swayed her feet, frightening the fish in the pond. She happily peeled off a piece of lotus flesh, put it in her mouth, and thought to herself: "Auntie, what do you mean? Will daddy buy a lot of floral fabrics?"
The woman covered her mouth and snickered, "When did your father come back and not buy you a lot of things?"
The little girl was so happy that she withdrew her feet from the fish pond, ran barefoot to the woman's side, and put her arms into her arms. There was a row of wet footprints on the open ground that were still wet, and she said vying for favor: "Every time I come back, my father will bring me some food for my mother-in-law." I bought a lot of beautiful jewelry.”
The woman had just turned over the salted fish, and her hands had a strong smell of fish. She put her hands together and said with a smile, "Those are all for you in the future."
The little girl turned over and looked at her mother doubtfully. It was still a long time ago for her.
Two wind shadows passed by, blowing the lotus pond full of lotus flowers.
The little girl jumped out of her mother's arms, overjoyed, "It's daddy who's back."
The little girl stretched her neck out in the open space with her bare feet, and was slightly disappointed when she didn't see her father.
Out of sight, the woman put a touch of sadness in her eyes, pretended to be calm, and said soothingly: "Maybe the wind has picked up. Go back to the house. We will fry lotus root fish today."
"Oh." She didn't see her father, and even her favorite food, lotus root fish, was boring at the moment. The little girl threw the lotus pods into the pond in anger, picked up her shoes and socks, and walked back to her room.
An ancestral hall built on the mountain.
Jun Bubai's sword stopped at the steps. The stone steps carved out by generations of manpower were mottled with time. The moss beside the stone steps turned purple. The wind from a sleeve of sword blew away the moss, and you climbed up the steps.
Xie Husheng walked into the Dongting, stopped on the highest step, rolled up his sleeves and waited for you.
When entering other people's ancestral halls, you have to follow the etiquette and ninety-nine stone steps. In the past, Jun Bubai would have walked one step at a time. Today, he used Qinggong to hurry up, tapping his toes lightly and climbing up a few floors.
Xie Husheng stood up and shouted: "In such a situation, you still respect these cumbersome etiquette."
Jun Bubai walked up the stone steps in white clothes and said softly: "It's better not to disturb other people's ancestral halls."
Xie Husheng shook his head, "If it were me, I would just rush up and ask questions clearly. The descendants will not be allowed to live, so who care about the ancestors?"
Jun Bubai did not retort, but took a few steps forward, stopped in front of the bronze square tripod, and struck the bronze tripod with his sword intent, "Jun Bubai of Tianxialou, I have come to ask for advice."
After a while, there was a sound of people getting up in the ancestral hall. The old man with beard and hair hanging down to the ground stopped at the guardrail of the sacrificial hall with a cane. He lowered his head and looked at the two people. He looked at Jun Bubai's eyebrows and asked cautiously: "Do you recognize it?" Su Rou, the owner of Tianxia Building?"
When the old man said his mother's name, Jun Bubai suddenly realized something was wrong and clasped his fists in greeting, "That's my mother."
The old man hid half of his body back, stuck his head out and said in warning: "Did Su Rou ask you to come here to snatch the lotus root fish?"
My mother's reputation in Jiangnan is not very good. Jun Bubai raised his head and said seriously: "My mother has been living in seclusion in Wuweilin for more than 20 years. Now it is my decision to go downstairs. I came here today to appease the people in Taihu Lake. Bit."
Su Rou's head still hurts from that blow she received back then. The old man had just made a divination, and it was auspicious today, and there was a noble person to help him. The old man leaned out half of his body and said upright: "The way to appease that person is in the ancestral hall. You two wait a moment while I go get it."
The old man turned around and entered the ancestral hall.
Hearing another story about Senior Su, Xie Husheng leaned in front of the guardrail and said casually: "Where is the Five Flavors Forest? How about you take me to meet Senior Su next time."
When I go back to Wuweilin, if I'm not careful, my mother's fire stick will hit me. I finally got out, so how can I go back so easily? Jun Bubai said angrily: "My mother will go to Jinling in a few days. If you are not afraid of death, you can go with me then."
Xie Husheng swallowed his saliva and asked softly: "Senior Su, is he really scary?"
Jun Bubai threatened: "You think those rumors are groundless!"
Xie Husheng took a step back. There was a guardrail behind him, blocking his body. He could not retreat any further. He waved his hands repeatedly, "It's better to disappear. It's better to disappear."
In the ancestral hall, the old man lit a burner of incense in front of the ancestors' tablets. The incense was straight up. The old man stepped back a few steps, knelt down on the ground, and bowed.
"The descendants are incompetent and have disturbed the ancestors' Qingxiu. This matter is the safety of the fairy island. I hope the ancestors will complete it."
The old man bowed three times and bowed nine times. The cigarettes in front of the ancestral tablets were hovering in the ancestral hall. Several immortals walked out of the smoke, with a fairy-like air and full of blessings.
