Panlong Lake is connected to many waterways, with a constant flow of merchant ships.
Not only that, the beautiful scenery has become a tourist attraction, and there are many painted boats. It is said that there are hundreds of them in the whole lake. These painted boats are double-decker boats, and each floor can hold more than a dozen tables. There are so many singing girls and beautiful women that high-ranking officials and merchants are not afraid of them.
Here, money is spent, lingering is gentle, it is night, and it is the time of drunkenness, dreams and death.
"boom"
There was a loud noise that shook the ship slightly, and someone shouted: "What a dark cloud, the rain is coming, the rain is coming, get to the shore quickly!"
…
A man was disturbed, and stood up in a loud voice. He raised the curtain and stood on the side of the ship to look. He saw thick clouds under the moonlight, faint thunder, and within a few minutes, crackling raindrops swept away.
"The wind and rain are not good, please get to the shore quickly."
The wind rolled the lake surface, and the few boats that could be seen had to rush to the shore, not daring to stay any longer for fear of being overturned.
"Isn't the wind too strong? It was sunny just now, and suddenly there was a thunderstorm. Something is going to happen. Is there a monster causing trouble? It looks weird! Hiss! Look at that day, it was dark and dark..." Not far away, there was
A young man, who seemed to be a scholar, felt unhappy and spoke indiscriminately.
It's rare that someone invites me to live happily, but my elegance is disturbed.
Before Ju Ren could scold him, one of his companions frowned: "Silence, this is about the Dragon King's cave. Don't talk nonsense. How much wine have you drunk?"
The scolded scholar then remembered that, not long ago, the imperial court had just resumed the worship of the Dragon Lord in the Panlong Lake Water Mansion, and recognized the existence of the Dragon Lord. The Dragon Lord was no longer a wild god, and the nearby people also started to worship the Dragon Lord.
For one thing, Panlong Lake is indeed not a place that can be evaluated casually.
But the thought of this incident added new worries to the onlookers.
If there is no monster causing trouble, does it mean that this thunderstorm is related to the Dragon Lord?
It’s still scary when you think about it!
"It's just a small talk. Don't blame the Dragon Lord! Don't blame the Dragon Lord!" The scholar has nothing to say about strange power and chaos. Besides, strange power and chaos of the gods are obscene sacrifices. Confucianism has always supported orthodox sacrifices. He hurriedly moved towards the lake.
I said goodbye and chanted.
"Okay, just say a few words. The wind and rain are getting stronger, and you don't have to worry about catching cold while staying on the deck. Wouldn't it be bad if you get cold by then? Everyone come in, change into dry clothes, and have a bowl of ginger soup!"
At this time, someone poked his head out of the cabin and called him in.
The three people on the deck then turned around and walked in. They lowered their heads and got in. However, Xiucai, who was walking behind, suddenly stopped and looked towards the shore, which was getting closer and closer.
From the corner of his eye, he seemed to see a group of people speeding towards the shore. He was stunned for a moment and thought to himself: "How come there are a group of people running to the lakeside holding umbrellas at this time? Are they pedestrians trapped on the road?"
When I took a closer look, I realized that it was not a group of people, but several foxes walking behind!
"Ah! Look, over there..." However, with a shout, those people and the fox disappeared out of thin air. The scholar who spoke opened his mouth, his face suddenly turned pale, and he didn't dare to look any further, and hurried into the cabin.
"Be careful, don't let anyone see our whereabouts." Hu Sanyi reluctantly closed the spell and warned the two little foxes walking at the end.
In addition to the scattered foxes in various places, this group of more than a dozen foxes is the only remaining group of the entire clan. They are running around in a hurry, and they have to prevent other monsters from noticing. They are very tired. Just now, a little fox accidentally released its breath.
, almost exposing them.
The little foxes who returned to their original forms chirped twice to show their understanding.
The remaining fox with slightly stronger magic power also had a tired look on his face. Looking at it, Hu Sanyi felt more and more uncomfortable. She could only endure it and raised her head to look at the sky above Panlong Lake.
Boom!
A bolt of thunder struck down as she watched, and her heart skipped a beat, not to mention the fox behind her. Those with low cultivation levels were all trembling, while those with higher cultivation levels could barely hold on.
"Tianwei!"
Looking at this situation, Aunt Hu San felt that she could not resist the power of God and could only surrender. It would be a lie to say that she was not afraid.
But she also felt traces of spiritual energy seeping out from the lake and filling the air. Even standing by the lake, she could gradually notice that the growth of spiritual energy was accelerating.
"The revival of spiritual energy before was related to the Dragon Palace. This time the accelerated growth of spiritual energy seems to be related to the Dragon Palace. Is the Dragon Palace really going to be revived?"
The beautiful woman pondered, feeling that this guess was closer to the truth.
At this time, heavy rain was falling, and the waves were rising in the distance, making the river bank tremble. In the rain curtain, I saw all the boats docked on the shore, and they were gathered together to take shelter from the wind and rain. There was no one around.
Aunt Hu San felt a little relieved and turned around to talk to the foxes.
"We in Qingqiu will not be able to survive if we encounter such a catastrophe!"
"Now, apart from the tribesmen scattered in various places, we are the largest main branch."
"But our Qingqiu has a good reputation. No demon clan dared to invade it originally, but now, many demon clans who heard the news are ready to take action - for the sake of our clan's treasure."
"We have brought some with us, but with our small number of people, we cannot hold on. We must find a backer."
"Qingqiu was originally a minister of the Dragon Palace. Seeing that the Dragon Palace is about to be revived, I hope that the entire Qingqiu Fox Clan will join the Dragon Palace. What do you think?" Aunt Hu San asked the foxes.
In this discussion, there are only a dozen foxes left as participants, but even if there are only a dozen foxes, they have different opinions on whether to seek refuge in the Dragon Palace.
"I think we should take refuge in the Dragon Palace. We, the Qingqiu Fox Clan, are the subjects of the Dragon King and should have taken refuge long ago." This was agreement.
"I am young and have low cultivation. I will listen to everyone on this matter." This is Hu Shijiu, a wallflower.
"This should be a major matter that can only be decided by the clan leader. Is it inappropriate for our entire clan to seek refuge in the Dragon Palace now that the clan leader is absent?" This was an expression of opposition.
The opposing foxes were not dissatisfied with the Dragon Palace, but felt that foxes like them should not decide such an important matter.
But things have to be prioritized. Aunt Hu San is already the oldest surviving fox in Qingqiu. After listening to the opinions of all the foxes, she directly said: "At this time of life and death, although we have been convinced, Xi Yan will inherit the clan head.
, but she’s not here now, so it’s up to me to make the decision!”
As she spoke, Aunt Hu took out a palm-sized jade tablet, prayed to it, and muttered words.
As she prayed, for a moment, the originally turbulent lake suddenly opened a gap in front of them, and the darkness penetrated to the bottom of the lake, but it was obviously not a real lake.
"Let's go!" Hu Sanyi saw the effect and knew that the time was short, so she drank immediately.
All the fox tribes instantly turned into prototypes and rushed in one by one. Hu Sanyi, who was holding the jade token, was the last one to rush in. After she entered, the cracks disappeared immediately.
"Huh?"
Not long after they disappeared, in the wind and rain, a black shadow came running in the rain and fog. It looked like a person, but if you get closer, you can see that it has scales and is not a human being. The animal eyes alone make people look at it.
