When they returned to the thatched cottage, Song Xin asked them about the affairs of Shuifu.
Song Xin said: "To tell you the truth, I went to Shuifu to check. But the door was closed and I couldn't get in."
Zhang Xiuyang smiled and said: "So you have already checked it, which can save us the trouble of searching for the water house underwater.
He continued: "To be honest with Brother Song, this water palace will be opened from the second to the fifth day of February every year. At that time, the water will flow into the water palace along the gate. You can enter by taking this opportunity. But I heard from my former senior brother that some After entering, they are directly washed into a river somewhere. Some people will be sent to an unknown world and can get some benefits. Others go in directly and never come out. They should have died in danger. ”
"So there is such a thing. What benefits did he get?" Song Xin asked.
"Unfortunately, one of my senior brothers was washed away somewhere in the Yellow River. When he came up, he found that he was nearly a thousand miles away. Another senior brother entered a world and was trapped there for a year, but finally broke through. I also got a few medicinal herbs and some techniques.”
That night, after Song Xin refined the collected blood worm Yuanling, he found that it had some effects on body tempering and increasing Qi and blood. The most important thing was that it could avoid being parasitized by this kind of worm.
In the blink of an eye, the next morning came, Zhang Xiuyang said: "Brother, Brother Song, how about we compete in escape skills? On the mountain to the north, let's end at the foot of the mountain and see who is faster?"
"I think it's good." Song Xin also wanted to try how his escape skills compared with those of these two famous disciples.
"Since you two have agreed, I can only accompany you for a while." Zhang Moyang said.
"Senior brother, you are Mu Xingti. We can go to the forest edge to the east before setting off again, otherwise you will say we are unfair." Zhang Xiuyang said.
Zhang Moyang smiled and said, "Okay."
Several people walked to the edge of the forest, looked at each other, each started their escape skills, and quickly ran towards the foot of the mountain to the north.
Zhang Xiuyang and Song Xin are both Earth Escape Techniques and are quite fast. What Zhang Moyang used was not the Five Elements Escape Technique, but a special Wood Element Escape Technique called "Wood Feather Technique".
This technique comes from a practitioner named Mu Yu, whose mother was a midwife. Later, when she was helping someone deliver a baby, that person gave birth to a baby. The baby smiled at her and said, thank you for your kindness, you will have a son named Muyu, and I will make him an immortal.
Later, when the midwife conceived and gave birth to a child, she was named Mu Yu. The baby who was born able to talk was Si Mingjun, who was later picked up at the age of fifteen and took Mu Yu away with him. For the next few decades, a bird would bring a big fish to Mu Yu's mother every day. Later, the old mother lived to be a hundred years old. Zhang Moyang's escaping technique was the mental technique that Mu Yu developed from the brisk carriage that Si Mingjun picked him up from, and it was extremely fast.
In less than half a quarter of an hour, Zhang Moyang arrived first. He stopped, felt it, and found that Song Xin and Zhang Xiuyang were actually going hand in hand. Zhang Xiuyang received support from the sect in practicing, but Song Xin was practicing by himself, and he was not slow at all in the escape technique, which surprised Zhang Moyang. different.
Two figures emerged from the ground and landed at the same time. They were evenly matched. The three of them laughed so happily. This was also the happiest time for Song Xin during this period. He hadn't laughed so heartily for a long time.
"Senior Brother's Wooden Feather Technique is really fast. The Five Elements Escape Technique of the two of us cannot keep up."
Zhang Moyang said humbly: "The Wooden Feather Technique itself is an escape technique left by ancient immortals. It is slightly better than the Five Elements Escape Technique, which is understandable. The two of you are also very fast. Although Brother Song does not have the support of the sect, this escape technique can be practiced I also admire it.”
"It turns out this is called the Wooden Feather Technique. It really opened my eyes." Song Xin said this sincerely, because he had never competed with others in escape techniques, nor had he seen such a fast escape technique. He really didn't know much about the world of monks, so he was curious about everything new.
The three of them drank some mountain spring at the foot of the mountain, and then went to the waterside at the same time. They found that some people were already waiting here. This was also the first time Song Xin saw so many practitioners, and he was both surprised and curious. They all stared at the water, waiting for the time when the water flow slowed down to enter the water palace.
Zhang Moyang touched Song Xin's arm and said, "Brother Song, they are also practitioners. You see, the few wearing yellow Taoist uniforms are disciples of Zuo Gongdao, and the remaining few are disciples of other sects."
"Isn't this fellow Taoist Zhang Moyang from the Five Pecks of Rice Sect?" The young man in yellow robe saw Zhang Moyang and hurriedly came over to say hello.
"Oh, isn't this fellow Taoist Zuo Zhixian? I'm so polite." Zhang Moyang obviously knew that person.
"Who are these two?" Zuo Zhixian looked at Song Xin and Zhang Xiuyang.
"This is my junior brother, Zhang Xiuyang. This is my good friend, named Song Xin." Zhang Xiuyang bowed his head to Zuo Zhixian, and Song Xin also imitated his example. As expected of Zuo Zhixian, who was from a large sect, he was quite polite and returned the salute to Song Xin to show his respect.
"Are you all here for this water palace?" Zuo Zhixian said.
Zhang Moyang nodded, "Exactly, now that the water palace is about to open, we are willing to enter and give it a try."
"Are these fellow Taoists of the Five Pecks of Rice Sect?" While they were talking, several people nearby came over to greet them and said.
Zhang Moyang smiled and asked: "Exactly, don't you know who you are?"
"Oh, I am a disciple of the Wuyun Sect in Jingzhou. My name is Liu Jianzhong. These are my brothers. They are here to try their luck today." The man was also very polite to Song Xin and Zuo Zhixian.
"Are these big sect cultivators so well-educated?" Song Xin also didn't expect that these people would be so polite. Even to himself, a casual cultivator with low cultivation level, they would be so polite, without any arrogance at all. .
"Easy to say, easy to say. Since we have the same purpose, it is fate." Zhang Moyang was not familiar with the Wuyun Sect, so he just said a few polite words. Then he sent a message to Song Xin and said, "Brother Song, Zuo Gongdao and the Wuyun Sect are doing things fairly and above board, but you have to be careful about the group of people over there."
Song Xin followed his gaze and saw that there were indeed a dozen practitioners in black robes there. Each of them had two strange weapons hanging on their waists, as well as a soft whip. Especially the two weapons, which look like large serrated pliers. Those few people noticed the gazes of Zhang Moyang and Song Xin, and they all smiled and held their hands, looking completely non-hostile.
However, their auras were all very strong, and the one with the weakest cultivation level was almost on par with Song Xin.
When one of the people with a pockmarked face saw Song Xin and others, his eyes lit up slightly and he touched the person next to him with his elbow. The man looked like a thin old man with sallow and shriveled skin, especially his weird head shape, which looked like a rice dumpling, and his eyes were as big as a teacup, with a faint green light coming out of them. This gaze swept over Song Xin, and Song Xin had a strange feeling, as if he was being stared at by thousands of people at the same time.
Zhang Moyang saw all this in his eyes, and warned through his spiritual consciousness: "If you meet them inside, be careful not to be plotted by them. Be especially careful about that thin old man with a strange head shape, he is not a human. They said Maybe it’s the guy who dropped the blood worm eggs.”
Song Xin was startled, looked at Zhang Moyang and said, "Is he a ghost?"
"They are from Guangfutang. This sect relies on its power to become arrogant and domineering. Try to avoid them after entering. The old man with a head like a rice dumpling should be a monster in the form of a monster." Zhang Moyang reminded. .
Song Xin was secretly frightened, and nodded quickly: "Well, thank you, Brother Zhang, for reminding me, I will be more careful." At the same time, he glanced at the people over there, who turned to look at him again.
"Why do they always look at me?" Song Xin cursed in confusion, becoming even more wary of these people. "The transformation of monsters... I have indeed read records about monsters in "The Record of Ten Thousand Lives", but I didn't expect to encounter them today. Presumably these monsters will be even more ferocious...
Since I fought with Zhang Xiuyang once, I have a general understanding of the habits of ascetics. In fact, it is similar to the mortal world. The princes, generals and ministers also meet and chat about trivial matters and moral articles. But once they fight, it will be life and death, and it is extremely fierce.
A group of monks chatted for a while, and suddenly a whirlpool formed in the center of the water, and then the rapid water suddenly became much slower. Everyone knew that the time had come. Everyone saluted each other, said good luck, and then jumped into the water. Song Xin and Zhang Xiuyang used water escape, and Zhang Moyang put a water escape talisman on his body. The fair-minded Zuo Zhixian swallowed a water-proof pill.
It's just that the Wuyun Sect didn't know what method they used. After entering the water, a layer of fog formed around them to separate the water. Song Xin also lamented that the practitioners' spells were really ever-changing and full of surprises.
And those weirdos from Guangfu Hall were hanging far behind everyone.
Song Xin paid special attention to the practitioner with the rice dumpling head, and saw the long whip around his waist trailing behind him, like a black tail, which was very disgusting. Zongzitou looked at the people in front of him, but he showed a weird smile, like a hyena stalking its prey.
Song Xin was familiar with the location of the water mansion, so he led Zhang Xiuyang and two others to quickly approach the water mansion. Others will use some unique methods to search, but Song Xin doesn't know about these.
The three of them quickly arrived at the entrance of the Water Mansion. The closed door they saw that time was now open. It was pitch black inside, and a strong suction force sucked the nearby water into the door. It looked a bit scary.
Song Xin and the other three looked at each other, nodded, and plunged into the black hole.
Soon afterwards, Zuo Zhixian and several people from Wuyun Sect also discovered Shuifu. Without hesitation, they quickly entered, followed by a dozen people from Guangfu Hall.
At the same time, at the mouth of the Yangtze River where it meets the sea in the east, and at the mouth of a large river in the far north, several people suddenly appeared and fell into the water with a splash. Then they were rushed into the sea by the river. The two people at the mouth of the Yangtze River were from Wuhan. Two people from the Yun Sect and four people from the Wuyun Sect were sent here this time. Two of them were sent back to the outside world and appeared at the mouth of the Yangtze River.
And those people in the far north are from Guangfutang. He fell into the cold sea water, his hair was covered with frost, and he was shivering. After a lot of effort, he returned to the shore and saw that he was alone in a vast expanse of white ice and snow. There was also a strange ribbon-like aurora in the distant sky. It was definitely not a scene that could be seen in the Central Plains. The man couldn't help but be dumbfounded. ..
