He Xiaoyu grew up by the river. He could catch fish in the water at the age of eight. By the age of twelve or thirteen, his underwater skills were already better than his father's.
By the time he turned seventeen, he was already the most powerful in several nearby towns. Everyone called him "Langli Baitiao".
This title seems to be taken from a book. I heard that there are people in that book who are particularly good at water.
Being able to get such a title shows He Xiaoyu's ability in water.
There has been no peace recently. They live at the junction of Yanhua Prefecture and Lingbi Prefecture, and they often hear news about the fighting between the people of Lingbi Prefecture and the government and army.
I heard that that princess was very kind to everyone in the past, but now she is sending troops to attack everyone.
He Xiaoyu couldn't figure out the reason for all this. Fortunately, the war had not affected them for the time being, and life could go on.
It's just that no one dares to go to the river recently. Many families who make a living by fishing by the river are running out of food.
According to the people in the town, when someone offends the river god, he becomes angry and kills anyone who dares to enter the water.
He Xiaoyu didn't know whether it was true or not, but he was still confident in his ability. These days, he should fish as usual.
Just use more fishing nets to avoid going into the water, try not to go into the water.
Today, as usual, we went to the river with our fishing nets and other fishing gear.
Suddenly I heard someone shouting over there:
"Someone come quickly, old Uncle Zhang is going to drown!"
He Xiaoyu was also surprised when he heard this.
Uncle Zhang is very good at water, how could he drown?
But at this time, there was no time to think too much. He Xiaoyu threw down the extra things in his hands, ran to the river, and dived in to save old Uncle Zhang.
Others on the shore were overjoyed when they saw it was He Xiaoyu, thinking that he would definitely be able to rescue old Uncle Zhang.
He Xiaoyu quickly swam to Old Uncle Zhang and reached out to rescue him.
But I found that Old Uncle Zhang seemed to be pulled down by something.
Having been in the water all year round, he guessed that Uncle Zhang might have got his feet caught on some aquatic plants. As soon as he touched the knife tied to his leg, he sank into the water in an attempt to cut off the aquatic plants.
As soon as Fang went down, He Xiaoyu was a little dumbfounded.
Because there were no aquatic plants under the water, but a monster with a fish head and a human body, which was pulling Old Uncle Zhang's feet down with his hands.
The monster seemed to be frightened, and became a little confused when He Xiaoyu suddenly came down.
As soon as he subconsciously let go, Old Uncle Zhang struggled to swim away.
After the fish-headed monster realized that the other person was just a boy, he calmed down and thought that he was a monster and there was no need to be afraid of him.
He Xiaoyu was also startled when he saw the monster at first.
But when he found out that the other party was a fish spirit, he was no longer afraid.
I don’t know how many fishes he has caught and killed over the years.
No matter if you are a monster or not, I will kill you if you are a fish!
So, when the fish monster rushed towards him, he also held the knife in his hand and fought with the fish monster.
The fish monster's ability was really average, and he couldn't beat He Xiaoyu.
After a while, he was struck several times, and a lot of fish scales fell off.
He Xiaoyu was very excited when he saw this and planned to kill the monster in one go.
At this time, the water rippled up behind, and another monster with a fish head and human body appeared. It turned out to be the fish monster's accomplice.
No matter how powerful the little fish is now, it is no match for the two monsters. The two monsters grab its hands and feet and drag it deep into the water.
No matter how good the water is, He Xiaoyu cannot hold his breath in the water all the time. He is already choking on water.
Seeing that he was about to be dragged to the bottom by the two fish monsters, He Xiaoyu struggled with all his strength, and his body was scratched by fish scales.
Some blood seeped out and fell on the two fish monsters.
Originally, a little bit of human blood had no effect other than making the monster more excited.
But He Xiaoyu seemed to be different. When the two monsters were stained with blood, their flesh and blood melted like charcoal falling into the snow.
The two monsters were in pain, screamed in agony, and quickly let go.
He Xiaoyu took this opportunity to swim quickly to the surface and swam ashore.
At this time, the townspeople on the shore saw him coming up and quickly stepped forward to help him.
Everyone was shocked to see him sink just now.
Especially when there are children shouting that there are monsters in the river, it's really scary.
He Xiaoyu narrowly escaped death and was still terrified.
I didn’t expect that there was really a monster in the water, and I didn’t care that there were still places bleeding on my body, so I quickly informed everyone about it.
After hearing this, everyone was filled with fear, and many people did not dare to approach the river again.
It's just that everyone uses water for washing and cooking, so it's impossible not to be close to it.
Those who have the conditions can still go to the mountains to fetch water, but those who do not have the option to risk their lives and fetch water from the river.
Not long after He Xiaoyu came out of the river, he developed a cold, fever, and cough, which made him feel strange.
It is indeed common for ordinary people to catch colds and fevers during the first month of the year, but he was different.
He went into the water all year round, and winter swimming was a normal activity. How could he catch the cold so easily?
Moreover, since he bled in the water, he felt that his body had become weaker and he was a little unable to use his strength.
Anyway, it feels weird.
He Xiaoyu's mother is a very religious person. When she saw her son acting like this, she started to burn incense and pray for God's blessing.
He prayed for everything, including Bodhisattvas, Taoists, City Gods, River Gods, Stove Lords, and Earth Gods, all of them, just for the safety of his son.
That night, He Xiaoyu was ill in bed and fell asleep in a daze.
In a daze, he suddenly saw a man who looked to be in his forties with a beardless face coming from outside.
This man has an evil aura about him, and just by looking at him, you can tell that he is not a good person.
Beside this man were two monsters.
Taking a closer look, he saw that it was the monster who had been burned by his own blood during the day.
The two little demons were talking next to the man, pointing at He Xiaoyu from time to time.
The man looked at him, seemingly surprised, and then revealed a terrifying and cruel smile.
He Xiaoyu saw the man open his mouth and made an "eating" motion towards him.
The man's mouth was different from that of ordinary people. When he opened it, it turned out to be round. There were many small teeth inside, which looked disgusting and terrifying.
He Xiaoyu had seen this kind of mouth before. When he was a child, he caught leeches in the water out of curiosity and carefully observed the leech's mouth.
This man's mouth is like an enlarged version of a leech's mouth.
The man threatened He Xiaoyu and then walked towards him.
There is no doubt that the other party intends to suck his blood.
He Xiaoyu naturally didn't want to sit still and wait for death, but for some reason, he was clearly conscious, but his body couldn't move.
Seeing that the man was about to enter his room, there was nothing he could do.
At this moment, He Xiaoyu was really scared and desperate.
I haven't even married yet, so why should I have my blood sucked dry by a monster like this?
Seeing the monster approaching, and when he seemed to be doomed, he suddenly saw a vast fairy light falling, directly illuminating the entire room, and a misty fairy wrapped in the fairy light suddenly appeared.
The immortal turned his back to He Xiaoyu and blocked the man's way.
When the man saw this immortal, he seemed to be very afraid and did not dare to take action for a while.
On the other hand, this immortal swayed his immortal light directly towards the opponent.
Seeing this, the man took out a water hyacinth vine?
He Xiaoyu was convinced that the thing was water hyacinth vine. He had seen it many times and was very familiar with it.
The water hyacinth vine used by the man is obviously different, and it is very powerful at first glance.
This made He Xiaoyu a little worried, wondering whether the immortal could handle it.
I saw that the immortal was still swaying his fairy light. Even if the man used the water hyacinth vine, he still couldn't resist the immortal, and he was defeated steadily.
Not only that, the immortal also swept the two little demons to the ground with one sweep. The two little demons turned into two big fat fish as big as calves, twitching on the ground.
He Xiaoyu's eyes couldn't help but be attracted. If such a big fish was taken out to brag to the townspeople, it could last for a year!
No, now is not the time to worry about this.
He Xiaoyu looked at the battle between the immortal and the man again.
There is no doubt that the man was at a disadvantage from the beginning and could not regain the situation at all.
The man seemed to be cornered by the immortal, and a large amount of energy began to erupt from his body. Well~~ He Xiaoyu couldn't tell what it was, but he just felt that the power was very evil and uncomfortable.
The man who exploded with all his strength was finally able to make the immortal take it seriously.
The Immortal just now had one hand behind his back. Now he moved and swayed his hands together with the Immortal Light.
The immortal's technique is elegant and beautiful, and the key point is that it is very powerful.
No matter what skills the man uses, he can't resist.
After a while, the man shouted loudly and twisted violently, turning into a giant leech as big as a python.
A leech this big is scary just to look at.
Seeing the monster like this, even if he had full confidence in the immortal, He Xiaoyu was still a little worried.
But soon, he found that his worries were unnecessary.
The man who turned into a giant leech was still no match for the immortal. He was pressed by the immortal light and rolled around on the ground.
At first, the giant leech struggled violently.
But after a while, the leech became a little wilted.
Finally, motionless, seemingly dead.
He Xiaoyu thought that the immortal had killed the leech monster and it should be fine.
Unexpectedly, the immortal used the fairy light to make up for the attack more than ten times in a row, until the giant leech showed no reaction at all, and then stopped.
Um~~Immortal, are you also so cautious?
At this moment, He Xiaoyu felt that he had learned something.
In the future, you must be cautious when doing things, just like an immortal.
Then, the immortal shrunk the giant leech into smaller pieces and put it into a small brocade box.
I don't know why, but I always feel that this box was prepared by the immortal in advance, just to hold this leech.
The leeches were taken away, but there was still a stone on the ground, a stone that made people feel extremely uncomfortable.
He Xiaoyu didn't dare to look, so he could only look elsewhere.
The immortal seemed a little happy when he saw the stone?
Um~~Probably, the immortal felt happy that he could eliminate such evil things!
Look, sure enough, the immortal took the stone away.
Well, this must destroy the stone.
The immortal solved everything, turned around, and smiled at He Xiaoyu.
He Xiaoyu was slightly startled when he saw that the other party looked like a boy younger than himself.
The next moment, He Xiaoyu suddenly woke up.
When he opened his eyes, he found that he was still lying on the bed, and nothing happened around him.
Hey~~Is your cold feeling better now? My body is also energetic and I am not tired at all.
Was everything just a dream?
He Xiaoyu was very confused and looked outside.
Then, his eyes narrowed. On the street outside, there were two fish as big as calves, twitching on the ground.
When I went out and picked up two fish, I found that some of the fish's scales had fallen off, which happened to correspond to the places where I had scratched the monster's body with my knife during the day.
Seeing this, He Xiaoyu knew that everything just now was not a dream, it was all real.
Early the next morning, he happily told the townspeople about the incident and showed the two big fish to everyone.
This was the first time for everyone to see such a big fish, and they immediately believed what He Xiaoyu said.
Some people were brave enough to try the water again and found that everything was fine.
Everyone cheered when they saw this.
While everyone was cheering, He Xiaoyu saw a man dressed as a Taoist priest walking towards him.
When I was confused, I heard the Taoist priest say:
"Bushi, you are destined to be immortal, would you like to learn Taoism?"
"Learning Taoism? Can you radiate fairy light like an immortal?"
"Of course it's okay."
"Okay, learn, I'll learn!"
