Yue Jin floated in the water, breathing out of his nose from time to time.
Lin Xiaodong opened his eyes and closed his mouth, not a single bubble came out.
On the boat, Feng Yanji laughed and said: "It's not easy for this guy to defraud us of some money."
Xu Letang snorted coldly: "If you don't learn well at a young age, you will have to become a liar if you have the skills."
Yao Jisheng said: "Let's see who died violently."
The sea surface gradually calmed down, except that Yue Jin blew out bubbles from time to time, while Lin Xiaodong never breathed out since he entered the water.
Yue Jin went to sea all year round and had excellent water skills. He was originally full of confidence, but when he saw that Lin Xiaodong had not breathed for a long time, he became a little panicked. Firstly, he felt something was strange, and secondly, he was afraid that he would drown.
But Lin Xiaodong looked as usual, as if he were on the shore.
Yue Jin waited for a while, then made a gesture to indicate Lin Xiaodong to come up, and the two of them surfaced one after another.
Lin Xiaodong smiled and said: "You lose."
Yue Jin wiped his face and asked Lin Xiaodong: "Why don't you breathe?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "I told you, I can hold my breath for ten days and a half."
Yue Jin raised his head and said to Feng Yanji: "He has practiced martial arts, and he has not been able to breathe for such a long time underwater."
Feng Yanji was doubtful: "Is it true or false?"
Yue Jin said: "What I saw with my own eyes is still fake?"
Xu Letang marveled: "You are really quite capable."
Lin Xiaodong smiled and asked: "Can I go into the water with you?"
Yue Jin said: "Okay, okay, you are a Taoist and have great abilities. We ordinary people can't compare." The two climbed onto the boat. Feng Yanji brought a rope. Yue Jin said to Lin Xiaodong: "Tie the rope around your waist. Remember
, the rope is your life, don't get tangled in stones, water and plants. If you get tangled in it, you will really not be able to breathe for ten and a half days.
, and don’t even think about coming up again.”
Lin Xiaodong nodded: "I understand."
Feng Yanji shook his head: "I really don't understand that you cultivators, if you don't meditate in the dojo, you have to follow me to the sea."
Several people tied ropes around their waists and jumped into the water.
The sea water is only one foot deep, and the seabed is full of undulating reefs, covered with corals and seaweeds of various colors, making it look like a maze.
Lin Xiaodong closed his eyes tightly, as motionless as a corpse, aware of the movement around him.
Yue Jin groped not far from the bottom of the sea and found a sea clam. He pried it open with a knife and found a pearl as big as a bull's eye. He quickly picked it up to show off to the others. Feng Yanji and others were envious, and they searched for it individually.
spread.
Yue Jin had good luck. Not long after, he found another one and dug out a bloody pearl. When he looked back, he saw that he was already far away from Feng Yanji and the others.
He was about to go back when he caught a glimpse of many sea clams ahead, lying quietly among the white sand on the seabed. Some clams had their shells open, and pearls could even be seen directly.
Yue Jin's eyes flashed and he swam over. Just as he was about to take action, his vision suddenly went dark and he was grabbed by the neck.
Yue Jin couldn't hold back his breath, spit out a string of bubbles, choked on the water, struggled desperately, and saw clearly that the person holding him was a long-haired woman with a ferocious expression, wearing a long white dress.
Lin Xiaodong was lying in the water, and suddenly opened his eyes. He swam towards Yue Jin like a fish, and took the world-awakening bell in his sleeve. When it rang, the bottom of the sea suddenly started to ripple.
When the woman saw Lin Xiaodong coming, she let go of her hand, flicked her belt, and disappeared behind the rocks.
Lin Xiaodong carried Yue Jin and rushed out of the water like an arrow.
Yue Jin sprayed water from his nose and mouth. He coughed for a long time before he recovered and asked in panic: "What is it?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "Things that want to kill you and others."
Feng Yanji and others also came up and asked: "What's wrong?"
Yue Jin's face turned pale and he was still frightened: "There is a ghost, there is a ghost!"
Feng Yanji was puzzled: "What the hell is going on?"
Yue Jin said: "The female ghost, with long hair and white clothes, suddenly jumped out and strangled my neck!"
Xu Letang frowned: "Real or false?"
Yue Jin said: "I was almost strangled to death. Are you telling the truth? If Master Lin hadn't saved me, I wouldn't have been able to swim up!"
Yao Jisheng asked Lin Xiaodong: "Do you know what it is?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "I didn't see clearly either."
Chen Sentai suddenly realized: "Do you know about this?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "I looked at the red air here and knew that evil spirits were breeding, so I came here."
Yue Jin held up his hands: "Thank you, Taoist Lin, for saving my life!"
Feng Yanji turned pale: "So what you just said was not made up?"
Lin Xiaodong chuckled: "You are right, I am not free in the dojo, so I have to come to the sea with you?"
Yue Jin sighed: "The Taoist priest came here specifically to save our lives!"
After hearing this, Feng Yanji and others felt embarrassed and bowed their heads in silence.
Back on the ship, Feng Yanji asked Yue Jin: "What should we do now?"
Yue Jin said: "What else can we do? Hurry to the shore! Go back and tell everyone not to come to this place, there are water ghosts!"
Xu Letang asked Lin Xiaodong: "We won't be entangled, right?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "Send me to the shore and leave this matter to me."
Yue Jin stepped forward and bowed again: "Thank you, Taoist Lin, for saving your life."
Lin Xiaodong said: "Pearl hunting is too dangerous, you should stop doing it in the future."
Yue Jin said: "Anyway, I'm quitting. I'll just catch some fish from now on. I don't dare to go into the water anymore."
Feng Yanji said: "Taoist Master Lin is right, we are just seeking money to death, and I won't do it anymore in the future."
Xu Letang said: "Then let's go fishing together from now on, instead of going into the water."
Several people agreed.
The boat came to the shore, Lin Xiaodong got off, and Yue Jin and others returned to the village.
Lin Xiaodong found a bluestone on the shore, closed his eyes and sat quietly, unaware that it was getting dark.
It's late at night, the new moon is hanging low, the sea breeze is blowing, and the waves are far and near.
Lin Xiaodong opened his eyes and stood up. A wave blew up from the sea, and five women appeared, standing gracefully in colorful skirts.
These five people are Xie Junqi, Wu Yinghua, Tian Jingru, Shi Huifang and Zhou Huiyun.
Zhou Huiyun was the one who wanted to strangle Yue Jin to death during the day.
Wu Yinghua shouted and asked: "Who cares about my Zhishen Cave's business?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "Lin Xiaodong, a poor man from Yulou Mountain, Luhun County. Three people died at sea recently. Is it you who did it?"
Wu Yinghua pinched her waist and looked sideways: "So what?"
Lin Xiaodong's eyes were full of murderous intent: "You evil spirits are harming people's lives, Lin will get rid of them today!"
Zhou Huiyun stepped forward with her sword in hand: "What a thief, you ruined my good deeds during the day, and you dare to stay alone on the shore at night. I think you are impatient with life!" A sword strike came.
Lin Xiaodong used the Kaici Shenjian to kill Zhou Huiyun in the same place, clashing back and forth, going around and around for twenty rounds.
How could Zhou Huiyun be his opponent? He was unprepared and the sword in his hand was thrown away. He hurriedly retreated, took off the five-leaf bell from his neck, and shook it gently.
When Lin Xiaodong saw it, he raised his hand and flicked his sleeves, and the wake-up bell appeared. The sound of the bell drowned out the sound of the five-leaf bell.
Zhou Huiyun exclaimed, looked at the World Awakening Bell, and called the Five-leaf Bell. Lin Xiaodong snorted, the World Awakening Bell rang again, and the Five-leaf Bell was knocked to the ground.
