Chapter 17 Yasao Fourth 7
After Jiang Cheng killed the water demon on his side, he was still paying attention to whether there was any omission. When he saw the black shadow, he immediately shouted: "Here comes again!"
Several disciples slashed with artemisia and used the net to chase the dark shadow in the water. On the other side, they shouted again: "There are also here!"
There was also a black shadow in the water over there, and several boats were dragging the net away, but nothing was left. Wei Wuxian said, "It's strange. The shape of this shadow does not look like a human. It's sometimes long and sometimes short, sometimes big and sometimes small... Lan Zhan, you are by the boat!"
Lan Wangji's back escaped dust and pierced into the water. After a while, he flew out of the river with a sharp roar, bringing up a water rainbow. But nothing was stabbed.
He held the sword in his hand, his expression was calm and he was about to speak when another disciple on the side flew out his sword and stabbed towards a black shadow swam by the river.
But after his sword entered the water, he never came out again. He activated the sword technique and summoned it again and again, nothing was summoned from the water. His sword seemed to be swallowed by the lake water and disappeared without a trace. The disciple looked like a boy about the same age as Wei Wuxian and others. He lost his sword and his face became paler. An older disciple next to him said, "Su She, I haven't found out what is in the water yet, why did you urge the sword to enter the water without authorization?"
Su She was a little panicked, but her expression was calm: "I saw the second young master urge the sword into the water..."
Before he finished speaking, he understood how ignorant this sentence was. Whether it was Lan Wangji or Yuchen, it was not comparable to others. Lan Wangji could summon swords into the water when he was unknown to the enemy. There was nothing wrong, but others might not be sure of it. His face was pale and he blushed with shame, as if he had been insulted. He glanced at Lan Wangji. Lan Wangji did not look at him, staring at the water, and for a moment, Yuchen was unsheathed again.
This time the sword body was not inserted into the water, but the sword tip lifted a black shadow that had jumped out from the bottom of the water. A ball of wet and black slammed onto the boat board. Wei Wuxian stood on tiptoe and saw that it turned out to be a piece of clothing.
Wei Wuxian smiled so hard that he almost carried it into the river and said, "Lan Zhan, you are so awesome! The first time I saw a water-catching ghost pulling the water-ghost's clothes up."
Lan Wangji just saw what was strange about Yuchen's sword tip, and seemed to have made up his mind not to talk to him. Jiang Cheng said, "Shut up. The one who swam under the water just now was indeed no water ghost, only one piece of clothing!"
Of course, Wei Wuxian also saw it clearly. He just didn't tease Lan Wangji and felt uncomfortable all over, saying, "Is this dress that I just slipped around? No wonder I can't catch the net, the sword can't hit, the shape changes. But a piece of clothing can't swallow a fairy sword. There must be something else in this water."
At this time, the ship had floated to the center of Biling Lake. The lake water was extremely dark and dark green. Suddenly, Lan Wangji looked up slightly and said, "Go back now."
Lan Xichen said: "Why?"
Lan Wangji said: "The things in the water deliberately led the ship to the center of Biling Lake."
As soon as the words were finished, everyone felt the hull sink suddenly.
The water flow quickly spread into the ship. Wei Wuxian suddenly discovered that the water of Biling Lake was no longer dark green, but was close to black. Especially near the center of the lake, there seemed to be a surging ink spring. More than a dozen ships were spinning in place, and a huge vortex appeared around them, slowly rotating. The ship was turning and sinking, as if it was about to be sucked down by a black giant mouth!
The sound of unsheathing was immediately sounded, and everyone stood up with their swords one after another. Wei Wuxian had risen into the air and looked down. He saw that the disciple Su She who drove the sword into the water had been swallowed by the board of Biling Lake. He had knees passing through the water, his face was panicked but he did not shout for help. I wonder if he was scared. Wei Wuxian bent down without thinking, reached out and grabbed his wrist and dragged it up.
With one more person, the sword under his feet suddenly sank, but it was still rising. But before it could rise for a long time, a powerful force suddenly came from Su She, almost pulling Wei Wuxian off the sword.
Su She's lower body had already submerged into the black vortex in the lake. The vortex became more and more urgent, and his body became deeper and deeper, as if something was lurking at the bottom of the water, holding his legs and dragging it down. Jiang Cheng was originally stepping on his three poisons, and he was leisurely rising to about twenty feet above the lake. He looked down and rushed down unhappily, saying, "What are you doing?"
The suction force coming from Biling Lake was getting stronger and stronger. Wei Wuxian's sword was light and smart, and it was weak because it was insufficient in strength. It was almost pressed to a low altitude approaching the lake. While stabilizing his body, he grabbed Su She with both hands, thinking: "Is it impossible to pull up? If I can't pull up, I will let go!"
Just as she thought so, the back neck tightened, and Wei Wuxian's body was lifted up. He turned his head and saw that Lan Wangji was holding his back neck with one hand, while he grabbed Su She's hand. Although Lan Wangji just looked elsewhere indifferently, a man and a sword, bearing the weight of three people, and at the same time confronting unknown strange forces in the lake, their positions were still rising steadily. Jiang Cheng stopped the sword and was slightly shocked: "If I had just stepped down and dragged Wei Wuxian and controlled the three poisons, I'm afraid I could not be able to rise so fast and so steadily. Lan Wangji was just about the same age as me, but Yuchen's sword..."
At this time, Wei Wuxian said, "Lan Zhan, your sword is quite powerful? Thank you, but why did you pull my collar? Can't you pull me? I feel so uncomfortable if you do this. I will reach out to you and pull me."
Lan Wangji said coldly: "I won't touch others."
Wei Wuxian said: "How could you be like this..."
Jiang Cheng couldn't help but cursed, "How could you be like this? Can you say less when someone was hanged in the air with his collar?!"
The group quickly evacuated Biling Lake with their swords and landed on the shore. Lan Wangji let go of the right hand of Wei Wuxian's back leader, turned around calmly, and said to Lan Xichen: "It's the water walking in the abyss."
Lan Xichen shook his head: "This is tricky."
As soon as the name "Shuixingyuan" came out, Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng knew about it. The most terrifying thing in Biling Lake and this river channel was not a water ghost, but the water flowing inside.
Some rivers or lakes often suffer shipwrecks or living people fall into the water due to terrain or water flow. Over time, the water will develop a temperament. Just like a spoiled lady refuses to spend time on her clothes and food, and every once in a while, cargo ships and living people will sink to sacrifice. If not, she will make a mistake and ask for it on her own.
People in Caiyi Town are familiar with water. There have never been any wrecks or miserable incidents in the water. It is impossible to raise a water abyss nearby. Since the water abyss has appeared here, there is only one possibility: it was driven from another place.
Once the water creeps into the abyss, the entire water area becomes a monster, which is extremely difficult to remove. Unless the water is drained, all the people and things that are submerged, and exposed to the riverbed for three or five years, this is almost impossible. However, there is a way to harm others and benefit oneself to solve a temporary worry and a trouble. That is to drive it to other rivers and lakes and ask it to harm other places.
Lan Wangji asked: "Where has been disturbed by the water abyss recently?"
Lan Xichen pointed to the sky.
He was referring to nothing else, it was the sun. Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng looked at each other and understood in his heart: "Qishan Wenshi."
Among the Immortal Sect, there are countless families with large and small scattered spaces. However, above it, there is a giant that absolutely surpasses them, the Wen family of Qishan.
Wen's family uses the sun as the pattern, meaning "to compete with the sun for the brightness and live with the sun". The fairy palace covers a wide area and can be compared with a city, called the Never Night Sky, also known as the "Never Night Immortal Capital". It is said that there is no darkness in the city. It is said that it is a huge creature, because no matter the number of disciples, power, land, and immortal artifacts, other families are beyond the reach of the dust and have no one to compete with it. Many immortals who practice immortals regard being the supreme honor of being a guest minister of the Wen family. With the style of Wen's behavior, the Shuixingyuan in Caiyi Town is most likely to be the ones they rushed over.
Although the source of the water disaster here is known, everyone has been silent. If it is done by the Wen family, no matter how much accusation or condemnation is done, it will be useless. First of all, his family will not admit it, and secondly, there will be no compensation.
A disciple said angrily: "His family drove Shuixingyuan here, but it was a must fortunate to the town of Cangcaiyi. If Shuixingyuan grew up and spread to the rivers in the town, so many people would make a living in a monster every day. This is really..."
After experiencing this difficult and complicated disease that others threw over, Gusu Lan will inevitably be in trouble from now on. Lan Xichen sighed: "Forget it. Forget it. Go back to the town."
***
They boarded a new boat at the ferry and rowed towards the densely populated areas of the town.
After passing through the arch bridge, the ship sailed into the river, and Wei Wuxian broke out again.
He threw the bamboo wormwood, stepped on the side of the boat, looked at the mirror in front of the water, and saw whether his hair was messy. He was not as if he had just picked up several water ghosts and escaped from the mouth of Shui Xingyuan. He calmly rushed to the sides of the shore and threw a series of charming eyes: "Sister, how much does a pound of loquat cost?"
He is very young, handsome and so handsome, and so full of spirit, which is really a bit like a thin peach blossom flowing. A woman pulled out her hat and raised her head and smiled and said, "Young man, don't give one for free with money, you can cut it?"
Wu's voice is soft and sweet. The speaker's lips and teeth are lingering, and the listener's ears are fragrant. Wei Wuxian bowed and said, "It's my sister who gave it to me, so I'm sure I want it!"
The woman reached into the frame and touched it, raised her hand and flew out a round golden loquat: "Don't be polite, look at you being handsome!"
The boat was very fast, and the two boats immediately passed by the side. Wei Wuxian turned around and picked up the side and smiled and said, "Sister is so beautiful!"
He was flying bees and butterflies on the side, Lan Wangji looked at him without looking sideways, and he was so arrogant. Suddenly, Wei Wuxian pointed at him and said, "Sister, do you think he is handsome?"
Lan Wangji never expected that he would suddenly get involved with him. Just as he didn't know how to deal with it, the women on the river said in unison: "More handsome!" There seemed to be a few men's laughter in the middle.
Wei Wuxian said, "Who will give him one? I will only give it to me but not him, I am afraid that he will go back and get jealous of me!"
A slight smile rippled in the entire river. Another woman came towards the boat and said, "Okay, okay, give me two. Eat mine, please pick me up!"
The second one also fell into his hands, and Wei Wuxian shouted: "Sister is beautiful and kind-hearted. I'll buy it next time. Buy a basket!"
The woman had a bright voice and was more courageous. She pointed to Lan Wangji and said, "Call him, come and buy it together!"
Wei Wuxian sent the loquat to Lan Wangji. Lan Wangji looked straight ahead and said, "Take it away."
Wei Wuxian took it away: "I knew you would definitely not want it. So I didn't plan to give it to you. Jiang Cheng, then!"
It happened that Jiang Cheng flew past another small boat. He took the loquat with one hand, showed a little smile, and then snorted: "Are you scratching your head again?"
Wei Wuxian said proudly, "Get out!" and turned around and asked again, "Lan Zhan, you are from Gusu, you can also say what you say here, right? Teach me how to curse people in Gusu dialect?"
Lan Wangji threw him a "boring" and got on another ship. Wei Wuxian didn't expect him to really answer, but he heard that the accent here was very interesting. Thinking that Lan Wangji must have said this since he was a child, it was just fun to flirt with him. He raised his head and took a sip of glutinous rice wine, picked up the round, black and shiny jar, and killed Jiang Cheng. Lan Wangji and Lan Xichen stood side by side. This time, the two of them even looked a little like, both of them looking worried, thinking about how to deal with Shui Xingyuan and how to explain many things to the mayor of Caiyi Town.
A cargo ship with heavy water dripping came across the opposite side, and the ship was filled with baskets of heavy golden loquats. Lan Wangji took a look and continued to look straight ahead.
Lan Xichen said, "You want to eat loquats, do you want to buy a basket to go back?"
“…”
Lan Wangji left with a smile: "I don't want to!"
He stood on another boat again.
