The sharp knife turned over in Shu Guan's palm, and then disappeared into his sleeve.
Chen Shanming looked at the ordinary-looking sharp knife with a shock that had not dissipated for a long time.
Unlike Lao Daobaozi, Chen Shanming knew that this young man was very powerful from the beginning, but after witnessing the young man's actions, Chen Shanming was still a little frightened.
Especially the last one that cut off the old sword's handle made Chen Shanming's scalp numb.
And that little short knife can actually cut off the life-saving knife directly.
Chen Shanming, who has dealt with Lao Daobaozi for many years, knows very well what kind of magic weapon Lao Daobaozi's knife is. It is a magic weapon of the same level as the treasure of his East Lake Academy.
Seeing Shu Guan retracting the sharp knife, Chen Shanming moved his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.
Shuguan had already walked to the side of the four-legged snake, patted the head of the four-legged snake next to him and said:
"If you can move, go back to the river yourself first!"
Then the four-legged snake began to move its body laboriously and crawled towards the river.
Chen Shanming on the side looked at this scene, a hint of realization flashed in his eyes, and he was also slightly envious.
I originally thought that this young man was just the protector invited by the dragon when he was walking across the river. But seeing how this man and the dragon got along just now, I am afraid that the relationship between the two is not that simple.
Judging from how obedient the dragon was to the young man, I'm afraid this dragon might be the young man's mount.
Riding a dragon to travel between heaven and earth, when Chen Shanming saw these descriptions of ancient immortals in ancient books, he would always be fascinated and regretted that he would never be able to do such a cool thing in his life.
However, now he saw that in this era, there were actually people who might actually be able to do the things he had dreamed of when he was a boy, and it was inevitable that he would be a little envious.
At this time, Han Biao also came over from a distance.
Chen Shanming immediately took a very careful look at the man in the trench coat.
...Is this the corpse puppet?
Unfortunately, due to the windbreaker, hood and sunglasses, Chen Shanming could not see the appearance of this corpse puppet at all.
...but does this corpse puppet have anything to do with the girl sect?
Chen Shanming thought so.
But Shu Guan was squatting in front of the bald man's body.
Because when he cut the bald man in half with a knife just now, something fell out of the bald man's arms.
It was a black jade box.
Within the jade box, waves of spiritual power fluctuations were faintly revealed.
Shu Guan thought for a while, opened the jade box, and saw a book inside.
The book is sealed with purple jade, and there is no word on the cover.
Shu Guan opened the cover, but under the cover were pages of blank golden paper.
Shu Guan didn't know what it was, but he knew it wasn't an ordinary thing at first sight.
Then he picked up the two broken knives that had fallen at the feet of Lao Daozi's corpse and looked at them.
Just now, when the bull-ear sharp knife cut off this long and wide sword, which was like half a door panel, the feeling from the wrist showed that the blade of this sword was extremely strong, and it should be an extraordinary magic weapon.
It's just that the sword was broken into two pieces at this time, and the spiritual energy all over his body was dim, but it didn't completely dissipate.
It's just that I didn't think too much about it just now and just cut it down. Now that I think about it, I feel a little regretful.
"...This knife is called the Life-Returning Knife."
At this time, a clear middle-aged man's voice sounded in his ears.
Shu Guan looked up and saw that the middle-aged man who should be from the academy was talking to him.
"This life-returning knife is a magic weapon of the highest level of human immortality. It has a magical feature. When it cuts an enemy, it can absorb part of the enemy's soul and life force into the blade. Give back to the man with the knife.”
"So when fighting with this sword, unless you are killed by one blow, you are not in danger of being injured, and you don't have to worry about exhaustion."
Chen Shanming smiled and explained a few words to the young man, looking quite capable.
Lao Dao Baozi's life-returning knife is still very famous in the cultivation circles of Yuzhang City, and the Seven Immortals Alliance has been dealing with Lao Dao Baozi for so many years. Although Lao Dao Baozi has not said it explicitly, the Seven Immortals Alliance has long guessed The magic of his sword was revealed.
After listening to what this handsome middle-aged man said, Shu Guan immediately felt regretful and his intestines turned blue.
It can not only absorb souls, but also absorb blood and life force to replenish itself. This life-returning knife is simply tailor-made for creatures like Han Biao who walk between yin and yang.
Shu Guan glanced apologetically at Han Biao beside him.
Seeing this scene, Chen Shanming's expression changed, and he couldn't help but say:
"If you can meet a powerful weapon refiner, this life-saving knife is not impossible to repair."
Upon hearing this, Shu Guan handed the two cut-off knives to Han Biao and asked him to put them away first. Then he pointed to the jade box and asked Chen Shanming:
"Do you know what this is?"
Chen Shanming looked at the jade box and the extraordinary book in the jade box, and shook his head.
He really didn't know that Lao Daobaozi had such a magic weapon before, and he had never heard of it at all.
...But the book with jade seal and gold pages in the box always felt vaguely familiar to Chen Shanming. He seemed to have seen the record of this kind of book in that ancient book, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
Shu Guan covered the jade box and handed it to Han Biao, asking him to put it in the suitcase first.
Then Shuguan clapped his hands, stood up, and prepared to leave.
Seeing this, Chen Shanming finally couldn't bear it any longer, cupped his hands towards Shu Guan and said:
"I'm Chen Shanming, the head of Donghu Academy in Yuzhang City. I wonder if this senior can tell me his surname."
Although the young man in front of him looked really young, Chen Shanming still didn't believe that this young man could be a real young man.
……senior……
Shu Guan gave the handsome middle-aged man a strange look.
Do I look that old?
Chen Shanming looked at Shu Guan longingly.
To be honest, Shu Guan had a pretty good impression of the middle-aged man who claimed to be the headmaster of East Lake Academy in Yuzhang City.
But no matter how good the impression is, it is impossible to know each other by name.
"We meet by chance, why should we know each other?"
So Shu Guan deliberately said this lightly, then turned around and walked towards the river.
He now has as little contact as possible with the people of the Seven Immortals Alliance.
Behind him, Chen Shanming sighed with regret. Of course, he didn't have any dissatisfaction, but he was a little regretful that he could not get to know such an expert.
However, this journey still made Chen Shanming extremely satisfied.
He admired the scenery along the way, saw real dragons, met some strangers in the world, and most importantly... Chen Shanming turned around and looked at his disciples with a smile.
He saw the nature of his disciples.
In times of danger, all disciples of East Lake Academy dare to hold swords!
Shu Guan walked to the river, where a four-legged snake was waiting for him in the river.
The situation of the four-legged snake looked a bit strange at this time. It was twisting all over the river. It was a kind of twisting that was beyond its own control. It seemed that something was about to squeeze out of its body. .
Shu Guan was about to speak, but his expression suddenly changed, and he raised his head and looked towards the distant sky.
Five or six extremely powerful auras were approaching quickly from that side.
Those few breaths had no intention of concealing their own power. They were as eye-catching as the bright moon in the dark night, so Shu Guan sensed them easily.
A strong man in the Nascent Soul Realm!
And there are several of them.
Shu Guan frowned, and then immediately took a suitcase from Han Biao, and took out a huge ox-horn bow and iron arrows from the suitcase.
"You find a place to hide first, and I'll give it a ride first."
Shu Guan quickly said something to Han Biao.
Han Biao has no spiritual fluctuations in his body. As long as he hides among ordinary people, he is not afraid of being discovered by those powerful Nascent Souls.
Then Shuguan jumped up and jumped on the back of the four-legged snake.
"Into the sea!"
He gave a shout to the four-legged snake.
The four-legged snake's golden dragon eyes suddenly shined brightly after hearing the word "entering the sea".
The dragon flicked its tail, and its long body immediately submerged into the river, and swam quickly towards the mouth of the river.
At this time, its strength had recovered a lot. When it was swimming underwater, it was as fast as an arrow leaving the string. A straight white line appeared on the river surface.
Not long after Shu Guan and Four-Legged Snake entered the water, six figures suddenly appeared on the river bank filled with the corpses of Xu Japanese soldiers.
It can be seen that these six figures are obviously two groups, with three people on each side. They look at each other with a strong sense of caution.
Among them was an old man wearing a kimono. His eyes turned to the river bank. Looking at the corpses of soldiers wearing dark yellow military uniforms, his expression became extremely angry.
He already had a rough idea of what happened here, because the sudden appearance of the foreign object caused an elite army of the empire to suffer heavy casualties. At the same time, the morale of other imperial armies who witnessed what happened fell into a state of collapse, and they were captured by the Dahua army. Seize the opportunity to counterattack,...
This...battle carefully planned by the empire fell short at the last moment, and for the past month, I had been fighting wits and bravery with Dahua practitioners, risking my life, but in the end it was all in vain.
How could this not make the old man in kimono extremely angry?
At this time, he noticed the receding white line on the river in the distance.
The old man in kimono flashed a sharp light in his eyes, spread out his arms, and leaped over the river. Like a big bird, he flew along the river surface and chased the white line that went away.
He didn't know yet what it was.
But no matter what it is, don't expect to escape like this after killing so many imperial soldiers!
The old man in kimono was approaching the white line at high speed.
At this time, something flew out of the river at the end of the white line, and flew in front of the old man in kimono in an instant.
That's an iron arrow!
Feeling the spiritual power attached to the iron arrow, which was extremely weak for him, the old man in kimono smiled contemptuously and raised his hand to grab the iron arrow.
He caught the iron arrow.
The iron arrow paused slightly in his hand.
But the next moment, the expression of the old man in kimono changed drastically, and at the same time, the iron arrow came out of his hand. There was a "pop" sound, the iron arrow pierced the throat, and blood spattered.
The Shuguan of today is no longer the Shuguan of Jingcheng.
When Shu Guan was in Jingcheng, the iron arrows he fired were a threat to Nascent Soul Realm powerhouses, but they were not truly fatal.
But now Shu Guan's iron arrows can actually kill Nascent Soul Realm powerhouses.
The body of the old man in kimono was swaying in the air, his hands tightly covering his throat, and blood gurgling from between his fingers.
But he did not die immediately and was able to maintain his body from falling from the sky, which showed that the old man in kimono still retained a certain amount of strength.
On the shore behind him, among the other three people, they were an old Taoist in blue, an old monk in yellow cassock, and an elegant old man in a wide-sleeved robe like Chen Shanming.
When the three people saw what happened on the river, their expressions were extremely shocked.
At this time, the old Taoist priest in green robes standing in the center suddenly had a strange look in his eyes, and then he quickly kneaded a few Taoist formulas with his hands and flicked them toward the river.
A breeze seemed to be blowing by the old man in kimono on the river.
The next moment, the blood in the throat of the old man in kimono suddenly started to burn!
The breeze did not leave, but gently swirled around the body of the old man in kimono.
Then the bright flames burned stronger and stronger, as if all the blood in the kimono old man's body was ignited.
Wind helps the fire.
Soon, the old man in kimono was covered in flames and turned into a huge fire ball on the river.
Several screams of pain and despair could be faintly heard from the fire ball, and then slowly disappeared together with the fire ball. There was nothing left, no flame, no kimono old man.
Above the river, nothing seemed to have happened.
Only the gentle breeze blew across the river and returned to the fingers of the old Taoist priest in blue.
"Qingfeng, what did you do!"
A blond man who was standing with the old man in kimono just now shouted angrily.
Yes, everyone among these people could see that the old man in kimono was not bound to die. It was just the wisp of breeze blown by the old Taoist priest in green robe that killed the old man in kimono.
"Capone, it's three against two now, do you think you still have the qualifications to question us?"
The old scholar among the three people here said this lightly at this time.
The blond man's momentum suddenly stagnated, and he looked at another beautiful brown-haired and fair-skinned woman next to him, and remained silent for a while.
The old Taoist, the old monk, and the old scholar looked at each other and smiled, feeling as if they had eliminated a formidable enemy.
Then the old scholar turned his head and waved to Chen Shanming.
"Shan Ming, come here."
Ever since the three old Taoists, old monks and old scholars appeared just now, Chen Shanming had been standing there frozen like a stone sculpture, but his body had been trembling slightly, and the expression on his face was extremely excited.
Seeing the old scholar waving at this time, Chen Shanming trotted over happily.
Yes, at this time, Chen Shanming was as happy as a child.
"master."
Chen Shanming came to the old scholar, called him like this, and made a big salute.
Then he bowed to the other old Taoist and monk.
"Chen Shanming has met two senior uncles."
He didn't know these two old Taoist monks, but he thought it wouldn't be wrong to call him uncle.
"Master, it turns out you are on duty in Shanghai these days!"
After saluting the other two elders of the Seven Immortals Alliance, Chen Shanming turned to the old scholar and said happily.
The old scholar looked Chen Shanming up and down, and then looked at the young people from East Lake Academy not far away. A deep sense of relief flashed in his eyes, and then he twitched his beard and said with a smile:
"Okay, let's talk about what happened here just now."
"Why did the thunderstorm happen that day?"
…
Shu Guan retracted the giant horned bow and carried it on his back. Then he stretched out a hand, grabbed the horn on the top of the four-legged snake's head, and followed the four-legged snake to move quickly under the river bottom.
He did not use the water control technique, nor did he use the Huan technique to keep the surrounding river water away from him.
This is the last step for the four-legged snake to transform into a dragon. Shu Guan will not use any Taoist magic to avoid affecting the four-legged snake.
The four-legged snake swam faster and faster at the bottom of the river. It still used the river-walking technique taught to it by its senior brother.
But at this moment, the four-legged snake swam so easily, and its speed was faster than Shu Guan had ever seen before.
When the time came, Shu Guan even felt some faint pain when the fierce water washed over his body.
Everything that was almost underwater seemed to be stretched out in sight.
The body of the four-legged snake is also getting longer and longer.
But this was not because Shu Guan's vision was confused, but because the four-legged snake was really getting longer and longer.
When it swam to Shanghai, the length of the four-legged snake's body was about thirty meters, but at this moment, its body began to grow dramatically.
Forty meters...fifty meters...seventy meters...one hundred meters...
At the same time, there are still many changes taking place in the four-legged snake.
Its head became more square, two slender golden catfish whiskers grew from the side of its mouth, its eyes became rounder, the limbs under its abdomen became thicker, and its claws changed from three toes to five.
The three toes are dragons and the five claws are dragons.
The four-legged snake is transforming into a dragon!
This is the last part of its journey across the river, and its body and appearance are changing rapidly.
In front, the entrance to the sea is right in front of you, and you can even feel that the surrounding water quality is quietly changing.
Whether you are looking at Shuguan or the Four-legged Snake, you can clearly feel this. This is where sea water and river water mix.
The next moment, the four-legged snake swam to the end of the river, rushed out of the river, and rushed into the sea. The surrounding seawater had a faint salty taste, which was a completely different taste from the river.
It also made the four-legged snake extremely excited and nostalgic.
Countless memories suddenly surged up in the four-legged snake's mind. It remembered who it was and the years it spent swimming in the sea many years ago.
Now, it's back home.
The four-legged snake rushed toward the water, rushed out of the water, grew a hundred meters long, and leaped high in the air.
At this moment, within a radius of ten miles, strong winds began to rise, heavy rain fell suddenly, and huge waves surged into the sky.
When a true dragon is born, the wind and rain come.
Outside the entrance to the sea, not far from the sea surface where the four-legged snake jumped out, there were several huge warships hanging with the flag of the rising sun, which were thrown high by the sudden huge waves.
On the bridge of a certain battleship, there were several men wearing white general uniforms of the Kingdom of the Rising Sun Navy standing, looking in the direction of Shencheng, waving their arms and talking about something.
Then the battleship began to jolt violently in the huge waves. The men in uniform of the Kingdom of the Rising Sun were thrown out from the bridge and fell into the sea with huge waves, and were instantly swallowed up by the water.
The four-legged snake's slender body drew a beautiful arc in the air.
At this moment, anyone who sees the four-legged snake will think it is a dragon!
It's a pity that in this era, we can't really soar to the sky.
So the four-legged snake fell back into the sea and swam towards the depths of the blue sea.
Shu Guan stood on the back of the four-legged snake, glanced back towards the battleship, and smiled slightly.
I wrote until one o'clock in the morning again.
What can I say about this chapter? I'm very satisfied with it, but I'm dissatisfied because there are many things I couldn't write about. For example, the last few battleships, I could have written more freely and comfortably. Unfortunately, Chapter 29 has already been written. I was completely locked up in a small dark room, so I could only rush through it in a cryptic way.
However, I have finally finished writing the "Zoujiang Volume". I said at the beginning that this was a short volume, which was a foreshadowing before the start of the fifth volume.
Volume 5 is a very important volume of this book. Before starting this book, I imagined the volume with the most exciting content. But now it seems that a lot of content has to be changed.
So today during the day, I have to think carefully about how to write the fifth volume.
There won’t be any updates today. Although today’s cap is waived, I was supposed to have a blast, but it just happened to be stuck at the beginning of a new volume. In addition, chapters have been banned continuously, so I can only make a detailed outline again.
I want to think about how to change the outline without losing the excitement of the story.
I also like the story of this book very much, so I don’t ask for grades, but I want to write it better.
By the way, the name of the fifth volume is called Forgettable Grass.
Well, it’s the song Wangyoucao sung by Zhou Huajian. The reason for this name is because of a lyric in it:
Let us who are weak know how to be cruel
Facing every cold in life
Okay, finally asking for votes.
The monthly ticket sales this month are quite impressive. There are currently more than 600 people, crushing many high-quality books.
Next chapter, updated on the evening of the 8th.
