Chapter 94 The big demonic dragon, python, fish dragon in the water?
Panjiang is divided into north and south.
Flows through the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi.
The group went around the southeastern part of Guizhou and took a boat from Tianshengqiao into the river.
This Wanfeng Lake has not yet been formed. There are countless reefs in the river, and the water is so turbulent that most people, except for those who have been running boats all year round, dare not go into the water.
now.
Chen Yulou stood on the side of the ship with his hands behind his hands.
There were no clouds overhead, as clear as the sky. The wind with water vapor whistled past my ears, and the three large sails behind me made a roaring sound in the wind.
Besides there are partridge whistles in Taoist robes, as well as Hualing, Kunlun, Lao foreigners, etc.
The weather is rare today.
Sweeping away the continuous rainy days of the past few days.
Everyone is almost moldy in the cabin, so he can finally come out for some air.
So, even a practicing madman like Partridge Whistle rarely shows up.
The two stood together and chatted casually.
Unconsciously, he talked about the big ship beneath him.
The ship is shaped like a building.
Nine masts and three hangings.
It evolved from the Ming Dynasty building boat, and was also called the Hezi boat in Yunnan and Guizhou.
There are three floors, upper and lower, enough to accommodate hundreds of people.
Cargo is transported above the ship's side deck, and the two lower floors are used to live in. The bottom floor can also raise horses.
Even if they were about fifty people, plus thirty horses, and accompanying cargo, on the same ship, not only would they not be crowded, but it would be extremely open.
So.
When I saw this zygote ship at Tianshengqiao that day.
Chen Yulou could hardly bear the thought of refusing, so he immediately made the decision and hired the ship.
Of course, except for this reason.
There are also some words from the boss.
“You can cross the Nanjian River by entering the Lvzhi River from the Nanpan River.”
From the map, the Nanjian area is close to Lancheng, which is later known as Baoshan. , only about three days away from Tengyue, the destination of their trip.
This road is full of high mountains and dense forests, which are ruled by major chieftains.
If you take the water route, it will be a little slower.
But at least it's safe.
There will be no more bad things like Lao Sicheng.
That day they crossed the river and just reached the mountain on the opposite side. Looking back from a distance, they saw Wuyangyang's group chasing them to the dock.
There is also a familiar figure in custody.
He is clearly the old shopkeeper of the inn.
See that scene.
How can Chen Yulou not understand.
Just as he had guessed and expected, the Yongshun Peng family couldn't help but take action.
That is, they walk fast.
Otherwise it will be too late.
Once the city gate was closed, they were surrounded in the inn.
Even if you have wings, you can't escape.
Looking away from the vast river outside the green tent in the distance, Chen Yulou shook his head to dispel the distracting thoughts in his mind, and looked back behind him.
Two little girls, Hua Ling and Hong girl.
Lean over the side of the boat and enjoy the scenery.
Kunlun also let go of his usual restraint, and his face felt a little more at ease.
On the contrary, the old foreigner was sitting cross-legged on the deck alone, his face was pale, and he seemed to be a little uncomfortable.
“Old foreigner brother, are you a little seasick?”
Seeing this, Chen Yulou couldn’t help but be startled.
His condition is almost the same as motion sickness.
The key point is to come all the way and see that the old foreigner looks normal whether he is riding a horse or on the road.
He never thought about it.
"No."
"I drowned in water when I was a child, so..."
Partridge Whistle shook his head and gave a simple explanation.
"Brother Chen, don't worry. You will get used to it in a few days."
The old foreigner was the same way when he returned from Pingshan last time and crossed the Qiantang River into the West Lake.
The reason why he didn't go out of his way to comfort her.
I just want the old foreigner to restrain himself.
In the past this would have been nothing.
But now that he has slowly entered into practice, he can no longer treat it as casually as before.
After all, practice is actually the process of subduing your own thoughts.
That is, slaying the inner demons.
If you cannot get out of it and are always afraid of water, you will not be able to go far on the road of spiritual practice.
“Brother Dao, what you say makes sense.”
Chen Yulou nodded and smiled.
Isn’t he the same?
It’s just that the old foreigner is a shadow left by his childhood, and his trip to Zhelong Mountain is to change his destiny against nature.
Just one big and one small.
While talking.
Suddenly there was a creaking sound behind him.
The two subconsciously looked back.
My eyes quickly locked on a mast on the ship.
I saw that guy Yuan Hong climbed up at some point, holding the mast with one hand and building a pergola with the other hand, looking at the river with a happy face.
See this scene.
The two couldn't help but look at each other and smile.
Although he has been channeled for a long time, he has now refined Henggu and gained knowledge.
But after all, he is still a monkey.
Moreover, apes are naturally active and cannot be idle for even a minute.
Even if it has lived for decades.
What is engraved in the bones cannot be easily erased.
Compared with it, Nuqing Chicken is much quieter. At most, it can only take a walk back and forth in the cabin, and then return to the bamboo cage to rest.
One more thing.
It is indeed almost exhausted during this period.
A talking ape, after all.
At any time, it is not something that ordinary people can understand.
Even in Chenjiazhuang, it basically only operates in the inner city.
The outer city is mostly filled with refugees who have fled.
You really have to speak in front of others.
I’m afraid there are only two endings.
Either he is regarded as a monster or he is regarded as a mountain god.
Yuan Hong probably knew this, so during this long trip, he covered himself tightly even if it was hot.
Although people in Changsheng Mountain are used to it.
But the bosses and guys who were on board the ship were all ordinary people. How could we see such a battle?
Plus people who travel through mountains and rivers.
There are many taboos.
Especially since ancient times, there have been rumors of water monkeys.
When the time comes, those people will probably be scared to death as soon as it opens its mouth.
Before arriving at Duyun Cave, Yuan Hong could still be more casual, but after boarding the ship, he almost never left the room.
Now that it finally found an opportunity, it couldn't bear it. It followed a group of people out of the cabin and ran to the deck to blow.
Originally, it just wanted to get some air.
It’s just... When I saw the mast, I couldn’t help it and subconsciously climbed up.
At this moment, he felt the water breeze blowing across his face, and felt comfortable all over, sweeping away the gloom and depression of these days.
The mast was gently swayed, and there was a bit of briskness in the creaking and whining sounds.
“Be careful.”
"If you fall into the water and feed the fish, I can't save you."
Leaning against the side of the boat, Chen Yulou couldn't help but joke.
Hear this.
Yuan Hong, who was screaming in the wind, subconsciously glanced below him.
The turbulent and endless river water stretches as far as the eye can see.
It couldn't help but feel a little scared.
But when I looked at the group of people below, I saw smiles on their faces, and I immediately understood that they had not stayed enough, so they were not willing to go back.
Just slide down a few steps.
Hung himself on the canvas.
Changed to a more comfortable position, enjoying the river breeze and the warm sun, leisurely and at ease.
See this situation.
Chen Yulou shook his head, ignored it and let it go.
Continue to chat with Partridge Whistle.
So does everyone else.
Either look at the scenery or practice with your eyes closed.
It’s just...
No one noticed.
I don’t know when a dark cloud came from the blue sky, and wind and waves arose on the river far away.
On the contrary, Yuan Hong, who was hanging on the canvas to blow the wind, seemed to have noticed something.
Subconsciously, I sat up and looked away.
I saw something flashing between the white waves.
But when I looked at it again, it seemed to have disappeared.
“What the hell?”
Yuan Hong frowned and didn’t take it seriously.
Boom——
Just as it looked away, a shocking mist exploded in the river, and the waves were like waterfalls. It was so frightened that it stood up from the canvas, and stared at that area with a pair of amber eyes. finally.
It saw it.
Hundreds of meters away in the river, a black shadow broke through the water and rushed towards the big ship where they were.
Yuan Hong's expression suddenly changed dramatically.
For a while, he seemed to have forgotten that he had already refined Heng Gu and was able to speak.
It just made a weird scream with all its strength.
Reminding everyone on the deck of the ship below.
“What’s wrong with Yuan Hong?”
“What’s going on?”
Hear the impatience, panic and... fear in its cry.
The group of people on the deck also came to their senses one after another.
It’s just that the black shadows are too far apart, and the water in this area of the river is already turbulent, so it is difficult to notice them.
"Water demon..."
"There is a big demon coming from the river!"
finally.
It took a while.
Yuan Hongcai suppressed the panic in his heart.
Almost screamed loudly.
“The big demon in the river?”
Capture these words accurately.
Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle at the side of the ship turned around and looked up almost at the same time.
Sure enough.
A few hundred meters away.
A black shadow rushed towards me like lightning.
The speed is unimaginable.
Almost in the blink of an eye, we entered two hundred meters or one hundred meters, and the black shadow became clearer and clearer, looking like a river bottom reef rising above the water.
I don’t know if it is a fish, turtle or dragon.
However.
Chen Yulou frowned deeply.
Demonic spirit!
From the huge waves, he felt an amazing evil spirit.
The partridge whistle on the side is obviously different.
Almost instantly, he pushed his backhand towards the mirror umbrella behind him.
But the next moment, his eyebrows sank, because his palm was empty.
Just come up on the deck to take a breath.
I never thought something would happen.
So, not only did he not carry his umbrella, but he even left twenty rings in the cabin room.
Beyond that.
For the big monster in the water, there is a magic trick of "catching fish by floating melons".
But now, with the speed of the big demon, it was obviously too late to go back to the cabin to get the melon.
"It's broken..."
Partridge Whistle was in a state of confusion, and several thoughts that came to his mind were rejected by him one by one in the end.
The usually calm face showed a panicked mood change for the first time.
Walking around the world for so many years.
He has been walking on thin ice and dare not relax even a little bit.
I didn’t expect that my only mistake would lead to such a big trouble.
For a time, his heart almost sank to the bottom.
“Brother Chen?”
Subconsciously, Partridge Whistle glanced sideways at Chen Yulou.
Among the six people and one monkey on the deck, he was the only one with the highest level.
In addition, even if he thought about it afterwards, he couldn't help but marvel at all the incredible methods he used in Pingshan.
Now it seems that we can only place our hope on him.
"The genus of the water demon, the python, the ichthyosaur?"
At this moment.
Chen Yulou's eyes flickered.
Looking at the black shadow under the water and muttering to himself.
A moment of effort.
Countless pictures emerged in his mind.
There is the Iron-headed Dragon King, the river god, in the Yellow River outside Gulan County, the green-scaled python in the lake outside Zhelong Mountain, and the spotted dragon in the wind-eroded lake of Kunlun Shrine.
In the world where ghosts blow out lanterns, there are countless fish and turtles in the water that become spirits.
But there is no record of this river.
So he wasn't even on guard at first.
Now, looking at the huge black shadow making waves in the river from a distance, he finally realized what was going on.
To be able to have such a terrifying momentum.
There is a high probability that he is a great demon at the level of "River God" and "Dragon King".
When I was about to contact the angry chicken under the cabin with my mind.
A rush of footsteps suddenly came from behind.
Turn around and look.
The captain of the boat and more than a dozen men hurried up from the bottom of the cabin, carrying a cow's head, as well as incense, yellow paper and other things.
"What are you doing in a daze?"
"Get out of the way."
"Quick, don't stand on the side of the boat, and don't look into the water."
The leader of the boat, his face pale and his body like chaff, shouted at the group of people.
"This..."
Seeing this, everyone's expressions changed drastically and they became uneasy.
Subconsciously looked at Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle.
I hope the two leaders can come up with an idea.
They are also experienced in the martial arts world, and have even hunted the big demon in Pingshan Mountain.
But the underwater monsters are the first of its kind.
People are interested in unknown things.
It is often the most fearful thing.
"Boss, what is that thing under the water?"
From the eager but affirmative tone of the boat leader, he seemed to know the black shadow in the river well.
Chen Yulou raised his eyebrows and asked in a deep voice.
"Lord Dragon."
"That's Lord Dragon in Panjiang River. Don't look around. If you offend his old man, I'm afraid all the people on this boat will die without a burial place."
Cold sweat poured down the forehead of the boatman.
Desperately anxious.
But when he asked, he didn't dare to hesitate, so he lowered his voice and reminded me.
really.
Hear these words.
Chen Yulou couldn't help but sneer at the corner of his mouth.
Exactly as he guessed.
"Jiang Dragon King?"
"What is that?"
Unlike him, Miss Hong and others looked at each other, their expressions full of nervousness and confusion.
"Turn around, don't look..."
But at this moment, the anxious ship boss had no time to pay attention.
After reminding them in a pleading tone, he no longer paid attention to them. He turned around and spoke quickly to the waiter behind him in a local dialect.
Although those guys were scared to death.
But he still gritted his teeth and rushed to the side of the ship while trembling, and then pushed the cow's head under the water hard.
Crash——
The bull's head fell into the river.
A water wave several meters high instantly splashed up.
Scarlet blood spreads on the water.
After doing all this, the guys were relieved and immediately withdrew. They knelt down on the board one by one, not even daring to raise their heads.
The boat boss took the yellow paper and incense and lit them tremblingly.
Kneel down at the front of the group.
He kept mumbling something.
"Coming..."
It was almost the moment when the yellow paper was lit.
The demonic energy was approaching instantly, covering the entire ship like a downpour.
Chen Yulou's eyes turned cold. He did not follow the advice of the ship's boss, but leaned over and looked intently.
I saw the black shadow that was approaching in an instant, raising a burst of water mist into the sky, but it did not hit the building ship.
Instead, he opened his big mouth and swallowed the floating cow head in one gulp.
Then...
Except for an area stained red with blood.
The water surface gradually recovered, and the river became calm, as if the previous scene was just an illusion and had never happened.
"Gone..."
"The Dragon King is gone."
I don't know how long it will be.
Feeling the calm river outside the boat, the boat sat down on the ground with its head down, feeling as if it had walked through the gates of hell.
He kept mumbling in his mouth.
My clothes were soaked with cold sweat.
The other guys were also surviving the disaster, with happy smiles on their faces.
"Brother Chen, have you seen it?"
