Chapter 181: Ten Years’ Promise: Cutting the River with One Sword
“Thank you, senior!”
Looking at the group of people on Yinghai Mountain from a distance, Chen Yulou jumped into the water and stood on the big lake. above.
Turn around.
I hugged my fists at the old dragon whose head was high and his water broke, and thanked him loudly.
"You're welcome, sir."
"But..."
"Zhou's figure is too conspicuous, so I can't send you to the lake."
Zhou Jiao shook his head repeatedly.
For it, let alone seeing it off, no matter how much it costs, it is not worth mentioning in front of the true dragon's slough.
However, now that retreat is imminent, it is really difficult to reveal his true identity.
Otherwise, it will cause countless troubles.
For example, offering sacrifices to gods.
Chen Yulou naturally knew its worries and immediately shook his head and smiled.
“That’s enough.”
"Thank you for your understanding, sir."
Zhou Jiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
In the past few years, no one has disturbed me, and I have been practicing in seclusion with peace of mind. The bottleneck that has been stagnant for many years has shown signs of loosening.
Also let it gradually find out some tricks.
Incense is a double-edged sword.
Each has pros and cons!
Especially as you get closer to the water barrier, the disadvantages will be infinitely magnified.
Next, it has only one thought, which is to meditate on the Dragon Slough in seclusion while adjusting its breath to its peak.
Everything is ready, so you can have nothing to worry about.
"Zhou took leave first then..."
While talking.
Zhou Jiao plunged into the water.
The surrounding high tide also dissipated.
In just a moment, the lake surface returned to calm again, as if everything had never happened before.
Seeing this, Chen Yulou let out a breath, turned around and walked step by step towards Yinghai Mountain.
Every step you take.
The lake water under your feet seems to be given life.
It condenses itself into invisible stairs.
Everyone who had not yet woken up from the huge shock caused by the dragon's true form was once again deeply shocked when they saw this scene.
Walking with hands behind hands.
The gown is swaying.
Indescribable freedom and wantonness.
"This is the master..."
Yuan Hong held his head high and felt that his blood was burning and boiling.
The stronger the master.
It also has something to do with being proud.
Of course, it also has some selfishness in its heart. The more powerful Chen Yulou is, doesn't it also show his potential?
Otherwise there are countless monsters in Pingshan.
In terms of strength, it is not as good as the six-winged centipede, and in terms of ferocity, it is not as good as the pair of mountain scorpions.
Even in terms of spiritual practice, he is also a secret student of Pingshan Corpse King.
But...it was an old ape, and it was favored by its owner. Not only did he spare his life, but he also took it with him to refine his bones and teach him how to practice.
In addition to his extraordinary talent, he also has extraordinary potential.
Yuan Hong could not think of any other reason.
"You kid, didn't I say you would be back in half an hour?"
While it was thinking about it, a gentle laughter came from not far away.
Look up.
Chen Yulou is already standing on the rocks outside the mountain.
Looking at Kunlun in front of him, he said helplessly.
The moment he came out of the water, he could see clearly that this kid was already preparing to go into the lake. If he was a step later, he couldn't imagine how serious the consequences would be.
Facing the shopkeeper’s question.
Kunlun just scratched his head.
The agreement was half an hour, not even one minute more.
"Okay, don't rush in like this next time."
Kunlun has been with him for more than ten years.
It takes longer than the red girl to go up the mountain.
Among the three people, only Guaizi, who had grown up in Chenjiazhuang since childhood, was older than him.
But Chen Yulou cared about him the most.
Not because of anything else.
Kunlun may look big, but in fact his mind is simple and pure, almost like a child who has not grown up.
Leave a message.
Chen Yulou then looked at Partridge Whistle and raised his hand to him, "Thank you, Brother Dao, for helping to stop him."
"Brother Chen, you're welcome."
Partridge Whistle came back to his senses. .
Looking at him who had been in the water for half an hour, but not even a drop of water touched his body, I was even more amazed.
This is no longer a category he can understand.
"By the way, that dragon..."
Then he remembered something again and asked.
"Don't worry, Brother Tao, there will be peace on Fuxian Lake for at least ten years."
Hearing this sentence.
Partridge Whistle was even more distracted.
Based on his understanding of Chen Yulou, he would almost never exaggerate. Since he had been talking about it for ten years, it would definitely be more than a short one.
As for why it is ten years.
Perhaps it was the agreement reached between him and the dragon?
Look at the scene just now.
Jiaolong sent him off in person. I am afraid there will be no other person in the world who can receive this kind of treatment.
"Boss Chen, then we are..."
Seeing that the senior brother and the two seemed to have reached this point in their conversation, the old foreigner couldn't help but interject.
"Of course, back to the city." Seeing him hesitant to speak, Chen Yulou joked, "Is it possible that the old foreign brothers still want to stay and see the lake view?"
"Then forget it."
The old foreigner's face turned red for the first time when his thoughts were exposed.
One visit to this damn place is enough.
As for what is good to see on the lake, apart from the solitary mountain below, there is only an endless lake.
Seeing this, Chen Yulou laughed dumbly, "Okay, if you have anything to do, we'll talk about it back to the city."
No need to remind you too much.
The two men in charge of driving the boat have gone to the back of Yinghai Mountain to row the big boat.
Previously, I was worried that fighting with the old dragon in Fuxian Lake would destroy the ship and cut off the way back to the city.
That’s why I deliberately hid the boat under the cliff at the back of the mountain.
I didn’t expect that.
Things developed far beyond expectations.
The fierce battle imagined did not happen.
The old dragon never set off a boat to eat people, and the shopkeeper didn't slay demons and subjugate demons as before.
Look at the final situation.
Between one person and another, it is like an old friend whom we have not seen for many years.
Who the hell are you talking to?
No one dares to believe it.
Bring the boat to the shore.
A group of people stepped on the wooden planks and walked up one by one.
Not long after.
The schooner sets sail again.
The canvas hung on the mast of the boat rattled in the wind on the lake, leaving a long white wave on the lake behind the boat.
Chen Yulou stood at the bow of the ship, looking back at Yinghai Mountain getting smaller and smaller in his sight, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional in his heart.
Looking back on today’s trip.
Even him.
It felt like a dream.
To be honest, he had never thought about planting spirits until he arrived at Longtan Mountain.
After all, along the way, I heard rumors about all the river gods of Fuxian Lake, and they all depicted a man-eating evil dragon that was ferocious and causing trouble.
Slay the dragon.
It can be regarded as benefiting the people.
But it starts with finding the dragon slough in Longtan Water Mansion.
He had a new idea.
It was so bold that even he thought it was crazy.
Fortunately, today's trip went smoothly, almost as planned.
"Ten years..."
Thinking of the time Zhou Jiao imagined before leaving Shuifu, Chen Yulou's mind couldn't help but wander.
Ten years of looking at Jiaolong may be just a blink of an eye.
But for him, it was full of unknowns.
Now, there is only one window away from the Golden Core Realm. I am just waiting to practice quietly. When the time comes, I will naturally be able to pierce the window paper and open the door to enter the big realm.
I really want a fire and water alchemy pill.
That's when.
Even if Zhou Jiao transforms into a dragon, there is no need to worry.
While he was concentrating on thinking, Chen Yulou seemed to sense something, and looked away from the Yinghai Mountain in the distance, where there was almost only a black shadow of sesame seeds.
Turn to somewhere under the lake.
A pair of clear eyes seemed to be able to penetrate through the layers of lake water and see into the depths of the mist-shrouded water palace.
Zhou Jiao’s body is coiled.
He raised his head and closed his eyes.
The dragon slough floated half a foot in front of it, with faint streaks of dark golden light flowing in it.
The light is dim. But for some reason, it was able to suppress the light of the luminous pearls carved on the surrounding moonstones.
The dragon face reflected in it is mysterious and majestic.
“It’s really fast.”
Seeing this situation, Chen Yulou couldn't help but murmured in a low voice.
It had been looking forward to this day for too long, so it didn’t dare to delay it for a moment.
I saw him standing on the bow of the boat, seeming to be thinking about things.
No one, including the Partridge Whistle, came forward to disturb them, they were just busy with their own things.
Almost an hour later.
In the vast mist.
Finally we saw the outline of the ancient city and the dock by the lake.
Because we were traveling against the wind on the way back, it took almost twice as long.
Although the group of people did not speak.
But from the secretly relieved actions, we can see what they are thinking.
It seems that Lao Jiao still puts a lot of pressure on them.
Just.
The ship just entered the dock.
There were originally a few figures on the shore, but the moment they saw the boats, they all felt as if they were facing an enemy. They put down their work of repairing boats and fishing nets, and fled to the low-rise houses in the distance.
“What’s going on?”
"Why are they running away?"
"Grandma, I was thinking of asking for a drink of water, but why do I act like I've seen a ghost."
Seeing this situation.
The two guys who jumped onto the lake table first looked at each other, and then couldn't help but curse.
“Think of us as water ghosts.”
Chen Yulou sneered.
After all, there have been constant storms and waves on the lake for three consecutive years. Even if the most experienced fishermen enter the lake, their boats will be overturned and submerged to the bottom of the lake.
A few foreign idiots.
Plunge into Fuxian Lake.
There is absolutely no chance of coming back alive.
That's why a group of fishermen were so frightened when they saw them, thinking that the water ghosts were coming back to take revenge.
"Fuck..."
Hear this explanation.
The two guys were stunned.
They just thought that these guys were trying to sell the boat at a high price. They were afraid that they would come back and ask for money, so they ran away quickly.
"Kunlun, go find the leaders of this group."
In response to the two people's reactions, Chen Yulou ignored them and just gave an order.
“Yes, from the shopkeeper.”
Kunlun immediately accepted the order.
Carrying the spurge on his back, he headed straight for that patch of thatched low houses.
Not even a moment's effort.
Two old men with gray hair and thin faces followed him with sad faces.
Except for two people.
A large group of people came out of the shack again.
Most of them were young and strong young people, all of them were bare-chested and had dark skin. They were holding a variety of weapons in their hands. They were cursing in dialect and looked menacing.
but.
Facing Kunlun, who is walking alone with a halberd on his back.
But no one dared to rush forward.
Seeing this, Chen Yulou immediately understood that the two old men must have a high status.
Although Kunlun is not good at words, he has his own way of doing things. He can accurately find the leader in such a short time, which would be difficult for another person to do.
"I've seen two old people."
"I was frightened along the way."
Wait until we arrived.
Chen Yulou hugged his fists at the two frightened old men and smiled gently.
Deal with such foolish people.
The best way is to fight first and then be polite.
Chen Yulou is definitely a master, and he dispelled the two old men's doubts with just two words.
“No, no.”
One of them was about fifty or sixty years old, with wrinkles on his face, rough hands, and a lingering fishy smell,
At first glance, it is the fishermen who have been drifting on the lake all year round.
He understands Chinese.
At this moment, I saw that Chen Yulou had a distinguished temperament and a soft-spoken voice. He was countless times better than the guy behind him.
He immediately shook his head.
"I called you two over here because I have something to tell you."
"I wonder... what did you say, sir?"
The old fisherman crossed his fists and asked seriously.
“On our trip just now, a few of us landed on the isolated island of Yinghai Mountain and have already met the River God. He asked us to tell us that the waves on the lake in recent years were not his original intention, but that someone had offended the River God. , so I gave him a little punishment."
Speaking of this.
The old man raised his head suddenly.
The expression was full of disbelief.
He wanted to speak several times, but was interrupted by Chen Yulou's hand.
"In addition... the river god said that there will be no more disturbances on the lake. You can fish with peace of mind, but there is one thing. There is no need to perform acts of worship to the gods."
"This..."
The old man made a sound and swallowed hard.
“Master River God, do you really say that?”
"It's absolutely true!" Chen Yulou nodded, "Of course, if you don't believe it, you can go into the lake and try it and you will know."
Hearing this.
The old fisherman was extremely excited.
For generations, their ancestors have lived by the water and relied on the water for water. In recent years, the lake has not been peaceful, and it has been almost impossible to survive.
The only option was to go to the river and make a living by ferrying goods.
If only I could go back to fishing on the lake.
Then people like them can survive.
"Sir, wait a moment. This matter is too big. I can't make the decision alone. I need to discuss it with the others."
"It's up to you, old man."
Chen Yulou stretched out his hand to indicate that he was okay.
The old man glanced at him gratefully, turned around immediately, and re-translated his words in dialect as much as possible.
"Dagong, the River God has not shown up for several years. You know better than us what is going on on the lake. How can we rashly enter the lake just because of the words of these strangers? The village cannot tolerate any more setbacks. "It's a loss."
"That's right, Dagong, I suspect these foreigners are just talking nonsense. It's not easy for the River God to see him. We have lived here for decades. I’ve never seen one before.”
“They are trying to confuse people, I think they have bad intentions!”
Wow——
In an instant.
Everyone on the entire lake beach seemed to be boiling.
The voices of arguments, doubts, and noises all merged into one.
The young men holding harpoons looked at Chen Yulou and his group with even more unkind expressions.
See this scene.
The old fishermen were also a little at a loss.
Although the young people in the village are a bit irritable, what they say is not unreasonable.
In the past few years, many good players have been lost.
In case the news is false.
Ships are trivial, but human life is precious.
After hesitating again and again, he could only hold his fists and murmured, "Here, sir, otherwise let us think about it again..."
"It seems that the old man also thought that Chen was deceiving Yu. You?”
See this situation.
Chen Yulou still can’t understand anything.
The corners of his eyes were slightly cold.
Don't wait for the old man to explain any more.
With a swipe, he pulled out the long sword from his waist. In the eyes of everyone who was extremely surprised and confused, he suddenly turned around and slashed his sword towards the big lake where he came from.
Boom——
A seemingly light sword.
But the sword light comes from top to bottom.
Countless water waves appeared out of thin air on the surface of the entire pier. The tide separated from both sides, as if it cut the pier into two sections at once. The sword energy continued unabated and plowed a deep ravine at the bottom of the lake.
"This..."
"My lord, this is when I met a true immortal."
The originally noisy lake beach suddenly became as quiet as death. You can hear the needle drop.
How could a group of fishermen see such a battle?
He was so frightened that his face turned as white as paper and he almost sat down on the ground.
"Chen will say it one last time."
"The river god tells you, believe it or not."
Gently put away the sword.
Chen Yulou stopped talking, greeted a few people, left a word, and headed straight towards the ancient city.
Mountain people and fishermen can't see Mount Tai even if they are blinded by a leaf.
In this case, no matter how many explanations there are, they are not as useful as a sword.
Until they drifted away.
Disappeared from sight.
The fishermen on the lake beach finally came to their senses, but their faces were still in shock.
I have no confidence at all.
I can only focus on the old man at the front.
"Dakong..."
Faced with everyone's confused eyes, the old fisherman gritted his teeth and said loudly.
"What else are you looking at? Go to the river and drag the boat back. Old man, I will enter the lake myself. I don't believe that the immortal can deceive me into being an old man."
