Mr. Wei is a man wearing a mask and a tight-fitting black robe. Looking at his gray and mottled hair, you can guess that he is about fifty or sixty years old. This is the first time we have met him since we boarded the ship.
When meeting, it is inevitable to introduce each other and greet each other.
We are naturally very curious about such a mysterious figure, but he made it clear from the beginning that he had leprosy, so the skin on his face is very ugly. He was afraid of scaring others, so he kept a distance. His cultivation
It's not that high, and it's not even as powerful as a few shopkeepers. However, the reason why he was invited by the Pavilion Master of Ciyuan Pavilion was because of his knowledge of true dragons.
It is said that this man is a descendant of Wei Zheng, the famous prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. This Wei Zheng is the famous critic who said that "water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it." It is said that he is also a very skilled magician, and he once killed a boat with his own hands.
The dragon causing trouble in the Luoyang River became a folk legend and was later compiled into "Journey to the West".
Although I don’t know whether this ancestral story is true or not, this person is still pretty good. There is a book called "The Book of Appreciating Dragons in Twelve Chapters" passed down in his family. He used the Dragon Seeking Ruler on the spot as a guide, made some calculations, and gave
We explained the deductions and conclusions we had made over the past few days, and finally located the True Dragon's Lair in the deep pool under the cliff.
When I slipped from the top of the cliff yesterday, I casually glanced at the bottom of the pool. Because the water flow was blocked, the deep pool at the bottom of the cliff formed a clockwise backflow with four or five whirlpools. Generally, such vortices have suction.
, if a person's water quality is not good, his life will end if he enters it.
At this moment, I heard Mr. Wei talk about it. It turns out that this thing is called Huilong Water Absorption, which is made in accordance with the breathing of the real dragon. Over time, if you see the pattern of the vortex, you can generally know the situation of the real dragon in the dragon's lair.
Our purposes for coming here this time are different, but they are all about the real dragon. As soon as the news here was confirmed, we immediately set off and paddled, preparing to turn around this body of water and set off towards the cliff. Because we had already been there yesterday
, the waterways and routes have also been explored, and it doesn’t take much effort. However, the corpses floating on the lake were originally intended to be cleaned up and buried on the shore, but they can’t be considered at the moment. They can only wait for tomorrow when they are free.
Make plans.
After the battle, everything returned to calm. The Xunlong sailed towards the water at the cliff. I looked at the body left behind the ship in a daze, thinking that this person was really weird. Have a good life.
However, what is their mentality if they insist on coming here to die?
Thinking like this, I couldn't help but laugh at myself - yes, although this trip is for ambergris, I am so excited, in part because I like this exciting and adventurous life. It is poison, and I am happy with it.
ah.
Unknowingly, my attitude towards life has already changed. Hey, what happened? Why did the body suddenly sink?
It did not take long to move from the original position to the cliff. Soon, the Xunlong was stationed on the lake not far from the deep pool below the cliff. With the experience of being attacked before, Ciyuan
Ge was also a lot more cautious. After dropping the anchor, he dropped a wooden box that was nailed tightly from the deck to the surrounding lake. It was as big as a shoe box. I asked what it was, and Shopkeeper Tian told me that it was water wake.
Bell, after everything is arranged neatly, if there is any movement underwater, the ship will know it.
After all, they were well prepared. There were many such gadgets. The Xunlong was busy on and off the ship, and we gathered at the bow. Mr. Wei placed an incense table on the deck with a stove, incense candles, and some sacrifices, and then
Holding a copper jar in his hand, he stood quietly on the bow of the boat. There seemed to be a few rolling balls inside, which were constantly shaking with the waves.
After a ritual of purifying his hands and burning incense, the sun set in the west. With the slanting light, he squinted his eyes and looked towards the whirlpool of Huilongtan. From time to time he wrote and drew on the rice paper spread on the desk, sketching many
I don’t know what the so-called symbols are.
Experts watch the doorway, and laymen watch the fun. We don’t understand the art of hunting for dragons. We just look at it interestingly and don’t say much. After about a quarter of an hour, Mr. Wei suddenly pushed the dragon-hunting ruler on the desk.
Open it, light the rice paper with countless random symbols on it, and throw it into the copper furnace. After burning it, pour out the paper ash and ball balls inside, and slap the ivory ball ball into it with a slap.
Crush it, then grab it and scatter it forward.
The fly ash was raised at the bow of the ship, and when blown by the lake breeze, under the sunlight, it actually took on the appearance of a real dragon with teeth and claws and angry eyes.
This situation lasted for more than ten seconds, and then the wind dissipated. Mr. Wei was so excited that his face turned red and he vomited a mouthful of blood. Only then did the strange flush subside. Others quickly supported him, and the master of Ciyuan Pavilion stepped forward and asked.
what happened?
Mr. Wei said with difficulty: "It is a real dragon. It has lived for 3,261 years and is in its twilight years. Its lair should be down there, I am sure of it."
After saying this, everyone around was in a noisy and excited mood. You must know that this real dragon is the most cherished legendary object of our Chinese nation. It has only been heard about and few people can see it with their own eyes. If they can see this,
Even death is worth it. However, at this moment, someone at the bow mast shouted a warning that a ship was coming.
These words were like a ladle of cold water pouring directly on our heads. We quickly followed the warning instructions and saw a boat slowly approaching from the West Island. This boat was not even as big as the Laoshan Boat.
But when we saw the people on the boat, our mood immediately became extremely bad.
The one who came from the famous righteous path was none other than the Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain.
Although the boat is small, the people inside are powerful. Yizijian himself said that a laid-back person like him is not as good as Shanyang, the old monster. But this trip to Longhu Mountain can be said to be overwhelming.
And if a conflict breaks out, few people can escape.
The ships from Longhu Mountain were getting closer and closer. Seeing that all his subordinates were like dead mothers, the master of Ciyuan Pavilion took a deep breath, and then encouraged everyone: "Don't be anxious, everyone, Longhu Mountain and us are the same."
If we have friendship, a real dragon is difficult to control, so we may not be unable to cooperate. And even if it is a fight, we have the Xunlong Hao, Mr. Huang Da, and Brother Xiao Keming, the Taoist Priest of Maoshan who just defeated Master Wangyue, and we.
Everyone, with all this, what should we be afraid of? We have lost many brothers and have sacrificed too much, do we still need to be afraid?"
The master of Ciyuan Pavilion waved his hands and spoke impassionedly. His enthusiastic emotions infected us, and everyone became excited and no longer afraid.
The Longhu Mountain boat finally got closer. The two boats were only ten meters apart. Both of them could see the expressions on each other's faces. I didn't see the legendary Longhu Mountain master Shanyang Zhenren. Standing on the bow was Yin.
General Ding, beside him were Luo Dingquan and the arrogant young man he saw this morning, the Little Heavenly Master.
General Yin Ding looked at this side, cupped his hands from a distance, and shouted: "Longhushan is here to do business, please let the friends of Ciyuan Pavilion get out of the way. I accept this kindness, and in the future, whenever I ask for anything, I will grant it."
He said this politely, but in fact he was extremely domineering. He actually wanted to drive us away and let him have the place to himself.
But we have just identified this place. How come Longhu Mountain knows that there is a real dragon here?
The master of Ciyuan Pavilion smiled bitterly and said, Alas, these opportunistic guys, he has no ability to find them, but they insist on taking over other people's achievements. It was General Yin Ding who shouted, so he naturally ignored him, and the loud-voiced shopkeeper Tian next to him responded,
The two sides had a dispute, but they also left each other with a bottom line and did not reveal their intentions. They were at loggerheads. After all, Longhushan was still a well-known and decent family. Seeing that Xunlong refused to retreat, they did not ask for it. They just said that since they would not give face,
So it doesn't matter, Longhushan will still remember this kindness.
Just remember it and remember it, if you pull up the tiger's skin and raise the flag, no one will grow up in fear.
The Longhushan boat slowly passed by the Xunlong and docked twenty meters away. There were several unfamiliar faces on the other boat, clustered together with the little Celestial Master, looking at the Xunlong unscrupulously.
The bow of their ship is low, while the side of the Xunlong is extremely high, but this does not affect their psychologically condescending gaze.
Several people in Ciyuan Pavilion discussed it and asked everyone not to move carelessly. Now that Longhu Mountain is here, they will take the first bite of crab. As for whether their lips will be pinched, it depends on their ability.
.The bottom of the Longhu Mountain boat was flat. After dropping the anchor, we separated into a small boat and rowed towards the Huilong Pond under the cliff.
This arrogance doesn't matter. The most annoying thing is that someone discovered that the small boat was actually the boat we used to send off Mochizuki and his party last time.
The Xunlong brought a total of three landing boats, two of which were kidnapped by the Yutou Gang, and one was at Longhu Mountain. However, Ciyuan Pavilion did not have one at the moment, and the Yutou Gang's account was
To put it another way, the attitude of Longhu Mountain about borrowing money and not repaying it really made people jump. People on the boat started shouting, but the master of Ciyuan Pavilion still suppressed everyone's resentment and asked everyone to wait.
There were a total of five people on the small boat, all of them were wearing water. When they got close to the edge of Huilongtan, they found that the water flow was rotating and the small boat couldn't help but spin. Someone used ropes to tie knots between the mountain wall and the shore to fix the small boat.
After that, they took turns turning over into the water and searching for the bottom of the pool.
This went back and forth for several rounds, and about ten people got off. Except for one who was almost caught in the current, there was no useful news. Before I knew it, it was evening, and four boats were launched by the Xunlong.
Heavy anchor, standing quietly, after a lot of tossing on Longhu Mountain, we gained nothing, so we didn't move. We each returned to the cabin to sit cross-legged and adjust our breath, watching the beautiful sunset sinking little by little into the west mountain.
Just when I was about to fall into trance, suddenly there was a sound of huge waves crashing on the water, and someone shouted outside: "The lake dragon is coming!"
I rushed out of the room and looked outside, only to see that the boat beside Huilong Lake had overturned. The lake dragon that appeared that night had dropped a tail on the lake. Looking in that direction, it was heading towards the boat on Longhu Mountain.
Seeing this movement, I didn't know why, but I smiled unkindly.
