Tian Xiaoding stayed by the Nailiang Lake and waited for the opportunity, intending to get Shuiyingpu.
When he was observing the island in the middle of the lake every day, he suddenly discovered that there was another slightly smaller water snake on the island in the middle of the lake. This water snake is only at the fourth level of cultivation. It is the same size and the same level as the one kept in Xiao Ding's Qiankun pot.
Perhaps, this smaller water snake is the descendant of the two large water snakes! Xiao Ding guessed this.
However, the fourth-level monsters are also equivalent to the cultivation level of human monks in the foundation-building stage. Those two large water snakes are already difficult to deal with. Now that there is a small one, doesn't that increase the difficulty level?
Xiao Ding did not dare to act rashly until he came up with an effective way.
So, after another day of waiting by the lake, more than half of the dozen or so monks left on the shore had left. This time, including Xiao Ding, there were only six monks left by the lake.
Xiao Ding looked at the other five monks and found that the clothes they wore were of two colors. Obviously, they should come from two sects.
Xiao Ding walked up to the three people who were closer to him, bowed his hands to the three people, and said, "Three Taoist friends are invited! Xiao Ding, what are the names of these three Taoist friends in Shimodian?"
These three monks in lake blue robes also bowed their hands to Xiao Ding and said politely: "It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Tian. We are from the Kunlan Sect. My name is Lang Duobao, and these are my two junior brothers Geng Zhongting and Lu Binglong, I wonder what Fellow Daoist Tian has to do with you?"
Xiao Ding held up his hand again and said: "I saw three Taoist friends waiting on the shore for many days. They must also want to seize the water pods on the island in the middle of the lake, right?"
Lang Duobao replied with a frown on his face: "Fellow Daoist Tian is right. Although we are determined to covet the water vines, the monsters guarding the water pods are too powerful. We haven't figured out an effective way yet. "
Xiao Ding nodded, looked at the two monks wearing blue-grey robes on the other side, and asked Lang Duobao: "Do you know the two Taoist brothers over there? If a few of us work together, maybe it will be the same." There's a chance you can get that water lily."
Lang Duobao also followed Xiao Ding's gaze, looked at the other two people not far away, and said, "They should be two fellow Taoists from the Yuling Sect, but I am not familiar with these two."
So Xiao Ding walked towards the two Yuling sect monks, and raised his hands to them from a long way away and said: "Two fellow Taoists, please come! Xiao Ding in Shimodian, I dare to ask you two, but A fellow Taoist from the Yuling Sect?"
When the two Yuling sect members saw Xiao Ding walking past Lang Duobao, they immediately became wary. They looked at Xiao Ding with defensive eyes and asked, "We are the Yuling sect people." , I wonder what’s wrong with you?”
Xiao Ding still smiled and said: "I saw two Taoist friends waiting on the shore for many days. They must also want to seize the water pods on the island in the middle of the lake, right?"
One of the gray-robed monks said coldly: "That's it. Do you have any good ideas?"
Xiao Ding pointed at the three monks of Kunlan Sect and said: "Now there are only six of us left on the shore of Nailiang Lake. I think if the six of us work together, we may still have a chance to get it. That's water lily."
Hearing this, the gray-robed monk's eyes lit up, he immediately changed his attitude, and said in a gentle tone: "It turns out that fellow Taoist Tian is here to seek cooperation, I'm so disrespectful! I'm a disciple of the Yuling Sect, Zhang Jintao, and this is my fellow disciple. Zhuoltong.”
Xiao Ding pointed to the three people from the Kunlan faction and said to Zhang Jintao and Zhuo Ertong: "How about we go over there and discuss countermeasures together?"
Zhang Jintao and Zhuo Ertong readily agreed and followed Xiao Ding to Lang Duobao and the others. They introduced themselves to each other, and they all knew each other.
Lang Duobao's Kunlan Sect and Zhang Jintao's Yuling Sect are both in Huaxuanzhou, so they have heard about each other's sects, but they don't have much contact.
Once everyone started talking, they felt a lot closer.
Xiao Ding suggested that if he wanted to get the water cattail, he could only use the strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain and lure away the two water snakes guarding the water plant.
However, as soon as he proposed this idea, he was immediately opposed by the other five people. They said in unison: "Then, who is going to attract those two water snakes?"
Xiao Ding smiled slightly and said: "It seems that none of you are willing to do such a dangerous thing, so let me lure away the water snake." The other five people were shocked when they heard this, and they looked up and down. After a while, Xiao Ding felt very confused when he saw that Xiao Ding only had the cultivation level of Dzogchen Qi. They couldn't figure out why Xiao Ding could enter the secret realm without building a foundation.
"Fellow Daoist Tian, although we have just met, I don't want you to do such risky things. It's too dangerous!" Lang Duobao persuaded him kindly.
Xiao Ding shook his head and said: "Since you want to seize the treasure, someone must take the risk. As the saying goes, 'wealth is gained in danger', if you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get the tiger's cub?"
Lang Duobao was silent, lowering his head and frowning in thought.
Zhang Jintao on the other side said: "Since Taoist Master Tian is not afraid of life and death and is willing to lure the two water snakes away, then we can only wish Mr. Tian good luck." After saying that, there was a trace of difficulty in his eyes. The cunning look that was noticed.
Xiao Ding nodded and said worriedly: "But, let's agree in advance that I can attract the two water snakes, but I can't guarantee that I can lure away all two water snakes. Because, with me, With my cultivation level, even if a water snake is chasing me, I won’t dare to stay any longer.”
Lang Duobao frowned and said: "Since Taoist Fellow Tian is so open-minded and generous, it doesn't matter even if you only lure away one water snake. Leave the remaining one to me. Then the four of you will deal with it. The little water snake on the island will find another opportunity to take the water cattail."
As soon as Lang Duobao finished speaking, his two junior brothers Geng Zhongting and Lu Binglong immediately said: "Senior Brother Lang, no!"
Lang Duobao shook his head and said: "We have been wasting several days here just because of the water phoenix. Now that Taoist Brother Tian is here to take the lead, we cannot miss this opportunity. You will pay more attention when the time comes. Pay attention and try to collect as many waterweeds as possible, lest we return in vain."
Zhang Jintao looked at Xiao Ding at this time, then at Lang Duobao, and then said: "That's very good, then there are Taoist Lao Tian and Taoist Lang."
Zhang Jintao's younger brother Zhuo Ertong also echoed and said: "In my opinion, this plan can work!"
Xiao Ding nodded and said, "In that case, let's start taking action."
