Early the next morning, Ling Xiaoxiao came to Xiaosi and insisted on taking him to the Qinglong River to watch the soldiers digging ice caves. Xiaosi couldn't resist her, so he had to stay with her all morning. Because he missed Lu Qinglin and Shan The Sima father and daughter in the temple absentmindedly watched thousands of shovels and ice picks being waved on the river.
In the afternoon, Ling Xiaoxiao finally couldn't bear the coldness on the ice and went back to her room. Xiaosi was relieved. He first looked at Lu Qinglin, prepared food for him, and then hurried to the mountain temple. I was relieved to see that the father and daughter were both fine. Although Sima Xingtian suffered some injuries, they were only superficial and fleshy, and he would be fine after a few days of rest.
Just after returning to the villa, Manjusri came to him again and insisted on learning the acupoint technique from him. Qing Ge also followed behind him, serving him on both sides. Xiaosi was very busy for a while, but he was extremely fulfilled and happy.
Two days later, the Khitan's annual head-fish feast officially started. Emperor Jingzong Yeluxian and Queen Xiao Chuo led officials from the north and south to gather together. Camps were stationed on the north bank of the river, and thousands of soldiers were distributed in Qinglong. On both sides of the river embankments, people stood guard. Dozens of large flags were fluttering in the wind, blocking out the sky. The morning sun was half-immersed and half-floating among the cotton-like colorful clouds. In early spring, when it was warm and then cold, the north wind wandered above the Qinglong River, blowing the wind. The big flag was blowing loudly. The sky was far away and deep, dazzling the eyes.
Yelvxian wore a dragon crown on his head, an ocher royal robe, and a gold butterfly and jade belt around his waist. Although he was full of energy, he could not hide the sick look at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. Xiao Chuo beside him was dressed in a skirt and gold powder. Tu Mian, with shining golden light on her head. On the left side is a gilded red rhombus flower, on the right side is a red flower gold silk Liuyun hairpin, and on her ears is a pair of deep red agate earrings, which makes her swaying appearance even more charming. Behind her are the royal family. The guard tent was guarded by Lu Duo. On both sides were the prime ministers of the north and south, the privy envoys, and the governors and governors from various places. The lineup was huge.
A huge ice cave with a circle of about 20 feet was dug out on the Qinglong River. Dozens of soldiers stood on both sides. There was no trace of snow on the entire river. The ice surface was as smooth as ice. Only the huge ice cave was popped up from time to time. Scattered bubbles.
Yelvxian and Xiao Chuo were sitting in the middle, with Xiaosi, Manjusri Nu, and Qinge standing behind them. At this time, the morning sun and clouds gradually dispersed, and the sunshine became brighter and warmer. Xiao Chuo saw that the people on both sides were already ready to make a move, and immediately He smiled softly and told his left and right: "It's time, let's set the hook!"
Yelvxian coughed, picked up the fishing rod in the hand of the guard next to him, walked towards the ice cave first, threw the fishing line inside, looked back at Xiao Chuo, with a smile on his face. Xiao Chuo waved and said: " Everyone, go and set the hook, the first one to hook a fish will be rewarded heavily!"
After giving the order, the officials behind him crowded forward one after another, each holding a fishing rod and throwing it into the ice cave. Xiaosi searched among the crowd and saw Han Kuangsi, Ling Wanjun, Ling Xiaoxiao and Zhang Chengdu there. , he was also throwing fish hooks into the ice cave. Among the crowd of people, he suddenly saw a big bald face with extremely exaggerated facial features mixed in with the team of Xi tribe slaves. He hurriedly squeezed past and said quietly: "Crazy monk, please be good Stay here and don’t cause any trouble for me! Where is my brother Lu?"
The stupid monk shook his head and said: "I know that I care about you, Brother Lu. He is staying in the house. He said that he will go back to Song Dynasty after the eelfish banquet is over. Your Xiao Wu is staying with him in the house!"
Xiaosi was slightly relieved and asked again: "Why didn't I see the Sima father and daughter? Are they here?"
The crazy monk moved his body to the side and saw Sima and his daughter standing behind him with smiles. The young man said: "Old man, you stay here with Miss Ruiyuan first. I will bring you some drinks later."
!”
Sima Xingtian smiled and said: "Xiaosi, don't worry about us, go and accompany your ally mother. This year's fish feast is unusual, something will definitely happen!"
Xiao Si wondered: "Why did something happen? Old man, what are you referring to?"
Sima Xingtian glanced at the side of the ice cave with the corner of his eye and said, "Didn't you see that Emperor Jingzong and the Empress were dressed so neatly and formally? It's not a sacrificial event, why are they dressed like this? There must be something big to announce later, you
Wait!"
At this time, the Manjusri slave shouted to Xiaosi from the front, and Xiaosi responded and turned around and said: "Whatever! It has nothing to do with us! Old man, I'm going back over there first!" He waved his hands and turned back to the ice.
.
Manjushri Nu grabbed Xiaosi and said excitedly: "Brother, why don't you throw the fishhook? The first one to catch a fish will be rewarded heavily!"
Xiaosi said: "Why do you have to throw a fishhook? How troublesome! Just plunge in and you can catch the fish inside!"
Manjusri was stunned and said: "This... this doesn't seem to be in line with the rules!"
Xiaosi smiled and said: "I don't want to get a reward. Catching fish is just for fun, isn't it?"
At this time, Xiao Chuo came over and said to the two of them: "Why don't you two take the bait? If it's too late, others will catch the fish!"
Manjusri slave said: "Queen mother, my brother said... He said that he wanted a strong man to dive into the river and let him catch the fish in it!"
Xiao Chuo was startled and said: "In order to make this year's fish feast more interesting, I deliberately broke the rules and changed the small ice cave with four rings into one large ice cave, just to let the ministers have fun together.
Fourth, you still want to go in and catch fish? It’s really unique!”
Xiaosi smiled and said: "I am impatient and don't want to catch fish hook by hook. I just dive in myself and you can choose the fish inside. How great!"
Xiao Chuo smiled slightly: "I was watching for a while in front of the ice cave just now. According to the usual practice in previous years, the fish under the ice should be very fertile at this time, but after putting the fishhook in for a long time, no fish came up. I don't know what's going on in the Qinglong River.
Is it always like this? "'
Xiao Si said: "The water of Qinglong River is dozens of feet deep, and there are many fish in it! I grew up by this river since I was a child, and I am very familiar with this river!"
Xiao Chuoqi asked: "Then why are there so few fish this year?"
Xiaosi said: "I don't know either! Mother, how about I go down and take a look?"
Xiao Chuo said worriedly: "Although it is early spring, the weather is still cold. Aren't you afraid?"
Xiao Si said: "Since I ate the blue grass from ###, I am no longer afraid of the cold. Mother, how do you feel?"
Xiao Chuo was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, he found that after eating the grass, he felt extremely energetic, as if it was exactly what Xiao Si said, and he immediately said: "Okay, you go in, and you must catch a big fish for me."
Come up!"
Xiaosi chuckled, suddenly his childlike innocence grew, and he threw off his sheepskin jacket. He raised his arms and jumped naked over the crowd. Then he fell and plunged straight into the ice cave with his head and feet.
The ministers next to the ice cave were paying close attention to their fish hooks. Unexpectedly, a sudden change occurred above their heads, and a naked figure suddenly plunged into the river water, causing a splash of water. The few fish that were about to take the bait were
They were frightened and immediately swam away quickly and moved to the depths of the river. The ministers looked at each other in confusion, someone cursed in a low voice, and complaints broke out all over the place.
Xiaosi plunged into the river. The Qinglong River water in early spring was still biting and cold, but Xiaosi didn't realize it. He plunged dozens of feet straight into the river, turned around, and stepped on the river. The light at the bottom of the river was extremely bright.
It was faint, and I could barely see a few frightened catfish in the distance, swimming hurriedly forward. Xiao Si looked around carefully and couldn't help but be a little surprised. Every year, there are dense fish in the Qinglong River, and the catfish,
There are no less than tens of thousands of sturgeons and sturgeons, but when I took a look today, I found that there were very few fish inside. The few that escaped were still the smallest ones. Where have all the big fish gone?
Xiaosi was puzzled, and followed the fish upstream. After swimming for a while, his eyes brightened, and the river bed became narrow here. Thousands of fish crowded here. For some reason, Xiaosi separated.
The school of fish crowded forward and saw a bright light shining brightly in the depths of the river, and a huge shadow crouched in the darkness behind the light. Xiaosi was shocked. Could it be that there was a water temple in the Qinglong River that he had never known about?
Are those fish coming here to worship? Fu sneaked for more than ten feet, but the scene in front of him stunned him. He saw a green light flashing in the water, a hole under the light, and a red thread in the deep darkness.
The corridor is paved straight over. The fish are heading towards the cave along the corridor, scrambling as if they are dying.
Xiaosi looked at it for a while, and suddenly felt something was wrong. What kind of water temple was this? It was clearly the huge mouth of a monster. The fish swam into its mouth and were eaten by the monster. Xiaosi thought to himself: This is the Qinglong River?
How can the barrier of my villa tolerate monsters like you? Without thinking, he immediately pulled out the wind and thunder thorn and shot it towards the entrance of the cave.
A blue light flashed across the water quickly. The green light flashed and then went out. The surrounding area immediately fell into darkness. The ice layer above the head was still several feet thick, and no light could shine in. Xiao Si saw that the green light went out.
, knowing that his judgment was correct, it was indeed a monster!
I saw the water splashing and the undercurrent surging, causing Xiao Si to stagger. Xiao Si hurriedly grabbed the rocks at the bottom of the river with his hands and looked ahead attentively. The wind and thunder thorns suddenly shone brightly in the water, and the blue light flashed.
At this place, a tall figure was entangled with it. Xiaosi felt that the shadow was vaguely familiar, but he didn't know where he had seen it before. While he was thinking about it, the monster swung its giant tail and hit the wind and thunder thorn, and there was a long line in its mouth.
The long tongue stuck out and went straight to Xiaosi.
Xiaosi immediately leaned back hard, and floated a few feet away with his feet in the water. However, he saw the water splashing, and from time to time there was a fishy smell in the water, which filled his nose. Looking at the wind and thunder thorns again,
After being hit by the monster, he was nailed to the rock next to the river embankment, but without stopping, he came back and shot at the monster again. The monster opened its eyes, and the river suddenly became bright, with green eyes in its eyes.
The light was harsh, shrouding the wind and thunder thorns, and Xiaosi finally understood that this monster was actually the one-eyed giant dragon he had seen in the mountains behind Konoha!
But he didn't understand. A few days ago, this monster had a fierce battle with Sima Xingtian in the clear water pond of Konoye Mountain. Why did he come here again? The ice of the Qinglong River has not yet melted, how did he get in?
What's in the water? Suddenly I thought that the source of the Qinglong River is the Laoha River in Yongzhou. Is it possible that the green water sinking pool is secretly connected to the bottom of the Qinglong River?
The monster's single eye glowed with blue light, shrouding the Wind and Thunder Thorn in it, unable to move. The Wind and Thunder Thorn buzzed and trembled, and there was a violent fluctuation in the water. Suddenly, the blue light aroused again, and the Wind and Thunder Thorn broke free from its restraints and broke through the water, heading straight for that
The monster's single eye. At this time, the breath in Xiaosi's lungs was almost exhausted, and he thought to himself, "Wind and Thunder Thorn, Wind and Thunder Thorn, if you don't get rid of this guy, I should drink water!"
As if the wind and thunder thorn had understood its master's thoughts, it broke through the water and surged away. The light on the nail split into two halves, like two crescent moons, and quickly spun towards the giant cyclops.
The monster jumped up in the water, stirred up the undercurrent with its four claws, flicked its head, and the water splashed up, hitting the two pieces of light from the crescent moon, and in an instant a huge ripple appeared on the bottom of the water.
The wind and thunder thorns followed closely behind, shooting straight out. The monster hurriedly dodged to the side and glanced at Xiao Si. Its single eye was filled with deep hatred and malice. Its huge tongue suddenly stretched out and pointed towards Xiao Si.
Little Si rolled his head up.
Xiaosi was startled, and he lay down on the river bottom. At this moment, the wind and thunder thorns came at full speed like arrows, and went straight to the monster's single eye. The monster moved back again and glared at Xiaosi fiercely.
His eyes dimmed, and suddenly his body slowly shrank and turned into a sturgeon, twisting its tail and swimming towards the darkness.
Seeing him leaving, Xiaosi recalled the wind and thunder thorns, and quickly turned around and swam towards the ice cave. A large group of fish lost the guidance of the monster green lantern in the water, and swam away in confusion. Xiaosi swam away the fish while swimming, and they were almost there.
At the entrance of the cave, I saw a huge sturgeon among the fish. After a few swims, I stretched out my arms to hold the fish in my arms.
The fish was as tall as Xiaosi, and was extremely powerful in the water. After being frightened, Xiaosi immediately resisted with all his strength. Although Xiaosi was extremely powerful, the water waves stirred up by the sturgeon made him unable to open his eyes. So on the fish's head
He hit it hard, the sturgeon's skull was very hard, but it couldn't bear Xiao Si's blow, its tail stiffened, and it fainted.
At this time, Xiaosi had arrived under the ice cave, and the fish he had driven away had also come here. They found that the air was very fresh, and they eagerly opened their mouths towards the entrance of the cave to breathe. Xiaosi was so happy that he hugged the sturgeon and compared his legs.
His strength suddenly rose in the water, and he jumped straight out of the water. But seeing the warm sunshine and fresh air outside, he couldn't help but shout happily: "The fish is about to take the bait, pull it quickly!"
