The autumn wind is bleak, and the Jackdaw Ferry is surrounded by crows.
The sky turned dark inadvertently, and a cold moonlight shone on the lake thousands of feet high in the sky.
Tao Ziming's eyelids twitched. He closed his eyes and felt it carefully. He suddenly saw the half-human, half-ghost monster under the lake. The scales on his body changed from black to green.
Even his eyes were emitting a strange light.
The senior brothers around him began to brag again.
Tao Ziming discovered that when it came to bragging, these people were truly the first, and no one in the entire world dared to be second.
"I heard from people who inquired about the information that the water monster is hiding under the lake. But we have been here for a long time, and this guy has been hiding and refusing to come out. You see, this cowardly water monster must be afraid of us. ”
"Yes, yes, today we, the youngest generation of talented disciples of Qingshan Sect, went out to perform tasks together. We have to take a detour when encountering any kind of water monster. Even if the Dragon King sees us, he must respect us. Bow respectfully, and then send his little daughter over to dance."
"The Dragon King's little daughter, what does that mean?"
"I heard someone say that in a village outside Shizhou City, near Jackdaw Ferry, there was a young woman who was extremely beautiful."
"Everyone, this is not something I'm bragging about. Rumor has it that as long as a man passes by this young woman, he will be attracted by her beauty. From then on, he will not think about food or drink, and will sleep restlessly for three days and three nights."
"Fifth Junior Brother, you are exaggerating. If there really is such a beauty in the world, how could a mere water monster like Jackdaw Ferry have been causing trouble here for so long?"
"Yes, yes, if there is such a beauty in the world, then all the chivalrous people nearby would come over to show their courtesy. But I see that the surrounding area is so peaceful and even a little desolate, which means that this ferry has been out of use for a long time."
"Not to mention the chivalrous people nearby, I'm afraid even the residents nearby wouldn't dare to use it easily."
"No, no, what I said is all true. I also know that this young woman has a very nice name. Her name is Ningxiang. People who know her call her Mrs. Ningxiang."
"Mrs. Ningxiang?"
"When you said that, I seemed to suddenly remember that there is such a legend near Jackdaw Crossing. It is said that this is Mrs. Ningxiang. Her slender steps are smooth and the waves are still, and the fragrance is curled up by the wind. Her bones are like Qiongyao muscle. Like ice, bright eyes turn like autumn water."
Seeing these people getting more and more outrageous, Li Wuyou, who was standing next to Tao Ziming, shook his head and sighed: "Oh, these guys!"
As he was speaking, the long sword was instantly unsheathed with a "swish" sound, and a cold light suddenly exploded in front of Tao Ziming.
The moment the long sword was unsheathed, everyone present felt a chill from their backs.
"Woo..."
A gust of cold breeze spread to the surroundings with Tao Ziming as the center. Everyone's eyes turned to look at this young man who said little at the same time. It turned out that Tao Ziming had drawn the sword.
Tao Ziming's weird figure, coupled with the eye-catching sword in his hand.
All the brothers and sisters present recognized his identity in an instant.
"The lone swordsman, on the Wanmu Peak, is the second elder's sword, the Qiankun Sword."
"Could it be that he is the newly initiated second senior brother who is born with a different body shape than ordinary people - Tao Ziming."
"I heard Master say that this person has firm faith, his belief is beyond ordinary people, and his future will be limitless."
"Brother, could it be that you discovered something?"
"Yes, yes, come and listen to us quickly so that we can make preparations."
"Hey, what else did you find? Didn't you see that there are few stars this month, and the lake is calm and calm. At this moment, this situation is the best time for you and me to drink and have fun."
The four or five fellow disciples immediately started talking in all directions.
Li Wuyou, who was beside Tao Ziming, looked at Tao Ziming with a solemn look on his face. Without any hesitation, he raised his hand and drew the sword from behind.
Another cold light flashed suddenly. The long sword in Li Wuyou's hand was naturally not bad, but it was still inferior to Tao Ziming's Qiankun Sword.
"Hey, Sixth Junior Brother, your master is really willing to give up."
"Isn't this the Huangji Sword, the peak-suppressing treasure on Huangji Peak!"
"I didn't expect that the Sixth Elder would actually hand the Huangji Sword into your hands."
Li Wuyou smiled lightly.
"I see that everyone who is going down the mountain today must be carrying a lot of things. At this time, don't hide things. I believe in the judgment of the second senior brother. Since he said there is a problem at the bottom of the lake, then there is something wrong in the lake. There must be something wrong, you'd better be careful, otherwise if something happens, it may be too late to regret it."
But at this moment, there was a sudden thunder in the sky.
"Boom!"
In an instant, a bright light suddenly lit up the entire night sky.
As the bright light flashed, big raindrops fell with crackling sounds.
It's raining.
"Oh, it's so unlucky. It rained after we finally went out. I originally planned to hold a poetry and wine gathering on the ferry tonight."
As he spoke, the rain became heavier and heavier.
One of them suddenly slapped the bag on his waist, and a yellow talisman flew into the air, hovering above everyone's heads.
In an instant, a circular golden light curtain covered everyone's heads.
The heavy rain pounded in my ears, and the rain was completely isolated from the golden light curtain.
"This rain is coming unexpectedly, please be careful."
While he was talking, the young man who had the most momentum before also pulled out his sword.
This person is the most proud younger generation disciple of the Qingshan Sect Grand Elder. Like Tao Ziming and others, he entered the mountain gate within a year.
Seeing that he started to speak, the remaining people did not dare to look down upon him and made preparations at the same time.
Who would have thought that before their swords were unsheathed, there was a sudden "bang" explosion on the lake.
A splash of water more than three feet high suddenly spread out in front of everyone.
When the water splash disappeared, half of his body was exposed on the lake.
A monster with pointed ears floated half of its body on the water, staring at a pair of round eyes, emitting a strange green light, looking at the people on the ferry.
"Hey, look, what is that?"
"Why does it look so weird? It looks a bit like a human but not particularly human."
"Second Senior Brother is really far-sighted, and he really hit the mark."
As he spoke, the monster covered in black scales suddenly dived to the bottom of the lake and disappeared in front of everyone.
"Well, gone?"
"Everyone, be careful!"
While talking, the people formed a circle.
Tao Ziming and Li Wuyou did not go over to join in the fun.
