Cheng Yu opened the letter, which read: Junior Brother Cheng Yu, I will return the Taigong jade plaque with the letter. I would like to thank you for saving my life. Three days later, we will see each other in East Lake. We have important matters to discuss. See you there or not! Zhang Bufan sincerely invites you!
Holding the jade sign in his hand, "Zhang Bufan asked me to meet in East Lake, what do you mean?" It seemed like he was talking to himself or asking for the opinions of his senior sisters and brothers.
"Junior brother, don't be afraid, we will go with you to see what kind of medicine they are selling in the gourd." Qiu Zizhao comforted.
"I'm not afraid. Yupai has come back. There is no relationship between me and him anymore. There is no need to meet." Cheng Yu still hesitated in his heart.
"Go ahead, little junior brother. A warrior is most concerned about credibility and valor. Grab my brother and the others and go to East Lake for a day to relax and unwind." Song Tianjiao tried her best to persuade, and wanted to take the opportunity to go out and have some fun.
In the middle of the night, Cheng Yu quietly traveled home, put his bank card next to his mother's pillow, and returned to school without stopping, not daring to disturb anyone.
Luo Juan woke up and found her bank card, which made her even more convinced that the man Cheng Jianguo was still alive.
East Lake is a large body of water on the east side of Xiaoliang Mountain. In winter, the reeds have dried up.
The surface of the lake is frozen, and the ice is thicker in the shallow water areas on the shore. There are children skating and playing, and adults are fishing on the ice.
Zhang Bufan had been waiting by the lake for a long time. He saw Cheng Yu and others coming over from a distance, laughing and chatting, and went to greet them.
"Junior brother Cheng Yu! Can you lend me a moment to speak?" Zhang Bufan nodded to the others as a greeting.
The two came to a quiet place, "Senior Brother Zhang, how are your injuries?" Cheng Yu asked first.
"Thank you, junior brother, for saving your life." Zhang Bufan bowed his hands and saluted, "Don't worry, he's completely recovered."
"Brother, did you come alone?" Seeing Zhang Bufan alone, Cheng Yu asked curiously.
"Well, alone." Zhang Bufan was a little sad and angry.
Losing the game caused huge losses to the school, and he seemed to have become a historical sinner. Some people even ridiculed and talked behind his back, and he was ignored by the school.
"Junior brother, I invited you here today. Firstly, I want to thank you in person. But also, I want to challenge you. I wonder if you dare or not?"
"Senior Brother Zhang, I don't like fighting. This——" Cheng Yu looked embarrassed and refused in person. It seemed that he didn't respect his opponent, which made him very embarrassed.
"Junior brother, since my defeat on stage, I can no longer hold my head high in school. Today's fight is just to represent myself. Even if I lose, I must be convinced."
It seems that Senior Brother Zhang is still unwilling to accept the defeat. After all, he was the one who defeated him, and he got an advantage.
"Okay, senior brother, how do you compare?" Cheng Yu felt guilty and agreed.
"My ancestors were heroes from Liangshan, Zhang Shun and General Jinhua." Seeing Cheng Yu readily agreed, Zhang Bufan first talked about the family inheritance.
"So, my strongest kung fu is water kung fu. Today, I want to compete with you in the water. Do you dare?"
"Don't dare!" Cheng Yu answered simply, thinking to himself, I thought you Zhang Bufan was a man, but I didn't expect you to be waiting for me here. You are really not stupid. You can use your strongest skills to compare with what I can't do.
, thank you for having the nerve to say it.
"Senior Brother Zhang, I can't swim. Besides, it's such a cold day that if you don't drown, you'll freeze to death." Cheng Yu tried his best to suppress his dissatisfaction.
"Junior brother, I blame me for not making it clear. My ancestor Zhang Shun could stay under water for seven days and seven nights. He once learned a special ability, which has been passed down through the generations, the secret of avoiding water."
"This trick to avoid water is easy to learn. It only has seven words. You only need to recite it silently in your heart, and you can come and go freely in the water."
"..." Before Cheng Yu could say anything else, Zhang Bufan said the trick to avoid water.
"Senior brother, why don't you pass on your family's inherited techniques to me?" Cheng Yu secretly cursed himself for being a villain.
"Don't be verbose, I just want to fight. If you dare to come, just come with me!" Zhang Bufan was extremely provocative and rushed towards the center of the lake first.
Senior Brother Zhang taught me a family skill, but he didn't explain clearly that he was doing it to save my face. If I don't continue to fight, I will be ignorant.
He immediately shouted, "What are you afraid of? I'm coming, senior brother." His enthusiasm surged and he chased towards the center of the lake.
People by the lake saw two figures running towards the center of the lake, one after the other, and immediately stopped to watch.
"Junior brother, it's dangerous!" Song Tianjiao and others shouted.
"I heard Wang Yu say that Zhang Bufan is the descendant of Zhang Shun, who lived in Liangshan Lang, and his life was very cold and dangerous!" Qiu Zizhao expressed his worries.
"Oops, junior brother can't swim." Song Tianjiao said anxiously.
"Let's go, hurry up and take a look." After Song Tianxu said that, he took the lead and chased towards the center of the lake.
.......
"What were those two people doing just now?"
"It seems like there's going to be a fight."
"There's another group behind us."
"Is there a group fight? Can the fight be fought on the shore? Why go to the middle of the lake? It's not a joke to fall. It's such a cold day!"
"I can't tell if there is a strange treasure in the lake."
"What kind of exotic treasure? I've never heard of it!"
"In the summer, I heard that someone saw a flash of light at the bottom of the lake. They dived and found nothing."
"Really? Let's go and see too!"
...
Zhang Bufan quickly approached the thin ice in the center of the lake, and the sound of breaking ice kept coming from under his feet, "Crack---Crack---Crack!"
The ice surface under his feet seemed to have opened two doors, parting to both sides, and Zhang Bufan flew down and dived down.
Cheng Yu silently recited the trick to avoid water and then chased after him.
Strangely enough, the water seemed to be afraid of Cheng Yu and moved to both sides. After Cheng Yu passed by, it immediately merged with Long.
"Cheng Yu!"
"Junior brother!"
They could hear the ice layer under their feet making continuous "click-click--" sounds. Everyone stopped, stared at the ice nervously, and slowly retreated.
"What should I do, brother?" Tianjiao asked Song Tianxu nervously.
"Wait and see, something is wrong. It stands to reason that I can't swim, and I will flop around and bubble up." Song Tianxu comforted him in a deep voice.
"Let's retreat slowly, get to a safe area first, and be careful where we step."
Zhang Bufan came to the bottom of the lake, turned around and stood still.
"Junior Brother Cheng, you are really generous. When you go underwater, it is my world, Zhang Bufan. I want to see if you are still as powerful!"
Cheng Yu was carefully feeling the magic of this water-avoiding technique. Although the water was not close to him, the resistance in the water was still insurmountable. After all, in deep water, water moves slowly, unlike air. If he wanted to pass through it quickly, he still couldn't.
"Senior Brother Zhang, this water avoidance technique is really amazing---ah!" He choked on a mouthful of water.
It turned out that Cheng Yu was not proficient in using the Water Avoidance Technique and could not focus on two tasks. When he was talking, he forgot to read the words, and the water around him suddenly surged over, and he suddenly took a sip.
I quickly continued to recite the mantra, and the water separated again.
"Junior brother, be careful and don't drink any more water. Senior brother is coming!" Seeing that Cheng Yu was choked, Zhang Bufan stopped talking and took a stand.
Cheng Yu only thought that this senior brother was about to take action, he kept reciting tactics in his mind and prepared his body for defense.
On the opposite side, Zhang Bufan was instantly covered by water and disappeared.
Just as he was surprised, he was suddenly hit with a palm in the back and was attacked by a sneak attack. In shock, he took another sip of water.
It turned out that Zhang Bufan was deeply accustomed to the nature of water and knew that using the power of water in the water would not only make him faster, but also hide himself. He would only recite the water-avoiding formula when he needed to breathe, and stop reciting the formula when he was holding his breath.
Cheng Yu didn't understand the reason, so he just kept reciting the formula, followed Zhang Bufan's instructions, and could only use the Jiuyang war energy with all his strength to protect his whole body from harm.
Under Zhang Bufan's frequent sneak attacks, Cheng Yu frequently drank water out of cold.
On the ice, several people were still staring closely at the water in the middle of the lake. They saw occasional ripples or slight surges in the water, as if there were large fish moving underwater.
Song Tianxu felt a lot more at ease knowing that the two of them were still fighting underwater.
"Brother, why don't you show your head? This breath-holding time is a bit too long, more than ten minutes." Tianjiao was inevitably worried.
"Senior sister, senior brother, look at the water!" Qiu Zizhao suddenly shouted nervously.
"It's falling, brother, the water is falling!"
The crowd watching behind me also noticed this problem.
"Look, the water level is lowering!"
"What's going on? Is there water leaking from the bottom of the lake?"
...
"No, retreat quickly!" Song Tianxu ordered. At this time, not only the water surface was dropping at a speed visible to the naked eye, but the ice floe under his feet was also falling.
The people behind him turned around and fled towards the shore as if they had encountered a monster.
"My shoe fell off."
"Run quickly, it's important to save your life. Once the monster comes out, it will be over!"
...
"Brother, Cheng Yu is still in the water. What's going on? Is there really a monster in the water?" Song Tianjiao asked as he retreated, worry and nervousness palpable.
"Don't worry, Tianjiao, good people have their own destiny. Let's ensure our own safety first. Cheng Yu will be fine. Everyone, hurry up and retreat to the shore." Song Tianxu comforted and directed everyone.
"Senior sister, when the water monster comes out, you hide behind me. I will protect you and let him eat me first!" Qiu Zizhao never hesitated.
"You, with your small body, are not big enough for a water monster to fit between your teeth, you might as well add me too!" Xia Ming did not forget to tease.
"Look at how promising you two are. Feeding a water monster, why are you fighting? In the final analysis, Junior Brother Cheng Yu is more reliable." Lin Wei said sarcastically.
"Cheng Yu, junior brother, come out quickly!" Song Tianjiao was so anxious that she almost cried. (To be continued)
