Yuan Quan continued: "The classics in Tianshitang record that there is a golden-feathered pheasant in the Nanshan Mountains. It is one of the exotic birds of the Phoenix species. Although its name is chicken, it belongs to the family of raptors. It lives in the Nanshan Mountains and is not a bird. If you don't eat or drink the nectar, its sound is like a chime, and its golden feathers and colorful feathers are magical and extraordinary. They soar in the mountains and forests and can ward off hundreds of poisonous insects. There is a golden-scaled giant snake in the land of the Yunnan River, which is a different species of the King Cobra. It is the number one poisonous insect in the world. It intersects with the golden-feathered pheasant in the first month and lays eggs. The eggs laid by snakes become mirage dragons, and the eggs laid by chickens become Qingluan."
Ji Xuefei said: "Brother Yuan, you know so much. Since you know how to breed these things, why don't you raise one?"
"The predecessor of the Xunlongmen was the water pirates of the Great River. Their sect passed down the secret method of cultivating mirage dragons." Yuan Quan continued: "To cultivate such a strange beast, not only will it take several generations, but also a long period of time. A lot of resources, although Shuixi Yuanmen knows a little about this, they don’t have as many resources and manpower as Xunlongmen.”
Li Muye said: "This matter is already obvious. The secret of Xunlongmen is hidden under the water. The people from Xiaoyao Pavilion want to conquer it, but the mirage at the gate is a big obstacle, so they brought in a python to deal with it. The mountain-guarding beasts of Xunlong Gate had a big battle last night, and it seems the winner has not yet been decided.”
Ye Hong added: "From a duty perspective, we have the responsibility to prevent them from continuing to fight like this. The losses caused by the fog closing the river are secondary. The key is that the impact on public opinion is too bad. If it is used by people with ulterior motives, The work we specially assigned will be very passive."
Li Muye said: "The Religious Affairs Office also has this responsibility, but their people have not been in place yet. Our current manpower is definitely not enough. If local armed forces are mobilized to fight in the fog, it will inevitably cause a larger disaster." In terms of human losses, these bastards from Xiaoyao Pavilion came here under the guise of overseas tourists. There is nothing to say if they die in an accident, but if we really kill dozens of people, we will be in big trouble."
"You mean to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight?"
Li Muye said: "Let's adapt to the situation first. If a suitable opportunity arises, we will take action, even if we take some risks!"
Several people walked along the mountain road to the riverside. They saw a wide water surface in front of them. The river was covered in mist and visibility was extremely low. Deep in the white mist in the center of the river, there was a vague sound of snoring and vibration. There also seems to be the sound of cows roaring in the sinister wind. Through the heavy fog, no one could see what was going on inside.
Li Muye said: "You can't see anything standing here. You still have to go to the river to know how far they have fought."
"No, it's too dangerous." Ye Hong objected again: "Going down to the river at this time, without heavy fire support, is no different from dying."
"So we can't all go down." Li Muye was most worried about Bai Wuxia, whose whereabouts were unknown at this moment. She had started the war in the river, and she would not miss this excitement. Then he said: "I will take Bai Qi over. On the one hand, the three of you will contact the local armed police. On the other hand, you will keep a close watch here. If necessary, you can act according to the situation. If any losses are caused, I will bear all the consequences."
Bai Qi is a newborn calf, and he is inherently daring. After returning from Russia, both physical skills and spiritual cultivation have improved. It is the time when the roc spreads its wings and hates the sky. After hearing this, he immediately set out to find a boat, and soon he rented a diesel-powered wooden boat from a fisherman's family.
Li Muye got on the boat and explained: "After we go in, you will treat us as if we don't exist. All subsequent actions of the special commission will be decided by you, Lao Ye. It's up to you whether to fight or when to fight." , in principle, we still have to wait for reinforcements from our brother units to arrive before taking action. Once we have no choice but to take action, the water battle will be commanded by Yuan Quan."
Ji Xuefei said: "Old Li, why do you sound like you are explaining the funeral arrangements? If it is really that dangerous, don't go there. Let's mobilize our troops and directly surround this place with heavy firepower. At worst, we will tell the outside world that we will hold military exercises. You Didn’t I say it before, this is a matter of course and within our scope of authority, why bother taking the risk yourself!”
"In any case, we are still half Jianghu people, and we still have to abide by some rules." Li Muye said sternly: "The Special Investigation Office specializes in handling foreign-related cults and special events. Compared with the Religious Affairs Office that specializes in handling affairs of domestic cult organizations Come on, although we are at a lower level, we have greater powers and responsibilities. After all, there are no small matters involved in foreign affairs, so we should be more cautious when using the military to solve problems."
Bai Wuxia was probably in a corner of the river at this moment. Although the possibility of actually using the army to hurt her was extremely small, this possibility could not be completely ruled out. But naturally you can't tell Ji Xuefei these things.
In the center of the river, deep in the mist, a giant mound of earth rose up, like a small island in the middle of the river, where two groups of people were confronting each other. On one side were thirty-eight people from Xiaoyao Pavilion, on the other side there were only a dozen or so, all old men dressed as fishermen in gray.
"Monk Shense, although you are known as the King of Scale Insects, you have not been able to take advantage of me even in your favorite water. Now that your python has been seriously injured, do you think it is still necessary? Do you want to continue the fight?" An old man in gray clothes hung a fishing net and a conch horn on his waist, holding a harpoon, and said proudly.
"The tide of the river has never flowed against it, and the tide of life has always been in the east." In the Xiaoyao Pavilion, a red-robed monk whose age was densely covered with tattoos and runes said to him tit-for-tat: "Dragon King Changdong of the Great River, although you have stopped the flow, Even though you have the magical power to intercept the river, there is nothing you can do to stop the river from flowing eastward. Xunlongmen has been in your hands for sixty years, and you will not be able to contend with this irreversible trend. Even if you are strong for a while, what can you do?"
"If you lose, you lose. Only people who can't afford to lose will talk so much nonsense!" Chang Dong felt pain in his heart for many years after being told something, and the feeling was really uncomfortable. He also retorted: "You Xiaoyao Pavilion has been working hard for many years than we are not. There have been many water bandits and thieves in the past, what happened to him now?"
"A villain can see a hundred meters in front of his eyes, and a hero's ambition can swallow up thousands of miles like a tiger." Monk Canse said: "You must know that if the sky is not in season, the sun and moon will have no light; if the earth is in season, no vegetation will grow; if the water is not in season, the wind and waves will be uneven. ; When people are not in the right time, good luck will not come; I, Xiaoyao Pavilion, have been rising in the world for many years, and the reason why I have not been able to fulfill my long-cherished wish is just because my luck has not come true."
He added: "Now that the world is in turmoil again, the East and West are divided, and the storm is hidden in the undercurrent. It is a good opportunity for Xiaoyao Pavilion to show its glory again. This time, I am here to get the secret treasure of the Jiangkou shipwreck left by the sages here. Xiaoyao Pavilion is determined to get it. Just trying to stop a dozen old immortals from Longmen Chang's family is like using a mantis' arm as a chariot."
"No matter how much you talk, it's all nonsense. The broken ship is in the Dragon-Seeking Holy Realm. If you have the ability, you can pass our level and go in and get the things back." After Chang Dong said that, he picked up the conch horn he carried and put it to his mouth. , beep beep beep beep beep four times in a row.
Deep in the river, a dull voice echoed, and trembling ripples appeared in the trembling river water.
Li Muye and Bai Qi's boat approached the center of the fog, and found that the fog here was much thinner than outside. The farther in, the higher the visibility. After sailing for more than ten kilometers, I saw countless boats in front of me, densely packed on the river. Some were rusty and mottled, and some looked newer, but they were all floating like ownerless souls. on the water.
The wooden boat came close and could not move forward. Li Muye and Bai Qi jumped onto an armored boat and continued to explore the center of the river on these unmanned broken boats. At this time, they faintly heard the argument between monk Canse and Chang Dong.
With a thought in his mind, Brother Xiaoye hurriedly pulled Bai Qi forward to a position with a better view, observing and listening to what was going on there.
There was an undercurrent under the water. When the two of them were feeling surprised and looking forward to it, suddenly, within a distance of less than ten meters in front of them, a giant python as black as ink, with golden scales and two rings thicker than a gasoline barrel, appeared. Soaring from the water into the sky!
As the giant python rushed out of the water, countless fish and shrimps were also lifted into the sky by this huge force. On the rocking and churning ship, Brother Xiaoye and Bai Qi sat on the deck at the edge of the ship's side, watching in surprise as countless fish and shrimps fell in front of them.
"Uncle, what is this?" Bai Qi asked in a suppressed voice.
"Python Kui!" Li Muye said in a deep voice: "It looks like a black dragon and is the mascot cultivated by Xiaoyao Pavilion."
Bai Qi looked at the python's trunk that was still emerging from the water in front of him, and said in horror: "This python is too thick, I'm afraid it can even swallow an elephant!"
"Calm down!" Li Muye said: "The world is so big, there are all kinds of strange things. You are the first batch of members specially recruited. There will be even more weird things in the future. No matter how big this thing is, it is still at the mercy of others. It's nothing special about beasts." As he said that, he flicked a small fish that fell on his head away. His expression suddenly changed and he said: "Hold on tight, there's a bigger one down there!"
Moo! Moo! A low and rough sound came from the water, and the strange vibration frequency made the water surface rise. Then a ten-foot-long, green monster with long beards and short horns emerged from the water, jumped into the air, and chased after him. The black python struggled over.
The two beasts jumped forward and backward, entangled in the air and then fell into the water. In an instant, the surface of the river was like boiling water, with turbid waves flying, one wave higher than the other.
The red-robed monk took off his golden dial and put his hands together, making a sharp metal knocking sound. Opposite him, Chang Dong, an old man in gray clothes, did not show any weakness and blew the conch in his hand to a loud beeping sound.
Bai Qi looked at it curiously and couldn't help but ask: "Uncle, what's going on with the island under their feet? Are these two using the instruments in their hands to command the beasts in the water?"
"The people from Xiaoyao Pavilion came well prepared and brought an earth pill. That thing can gather soil to form soil. It is not difficult to build an island overnight." Li Muye said while thinking of his experience in North America with Bai Wuxia. He vaguely remembers that he got an earth pill at that time, and Bai Wuxia had to mix the medicine for himself, saying that after taking it, it would make it grow bigger than a donkey. The female devil is full of tricks, and she might be hiding among the people in Xiaoyao Pavilion right now.
He added: "These old monsters from Xunlongmen have a Jinyun Net in their hands. They are all proficient in water magic. They jump into the water like dragons. Regardless of the number of people coming to Xiaoyao Pavilion, they want to gnaw this hard bone." But it’s never easy.”
The surface of the river is tumbling, and the two underwater beasts are fighting fiercely. From time to time, long and distant roars are heard, which makes people feel awe of the unknown nature.
Bai Qi looked a little worried: "Uncle, are we waiting for them to lose both sides and reap the benefits?"
Li Muye chuckled: "Silly boy, we are the only two who can take advantage of this. This fight is going to be fierce for a while. You can just sit back and watch the fun with me. I have my own plans in mind." He added: "Although these two groups are having a fierce quarrel now, the real big shot hasn't appeared yet."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud bang, followed by a shrill and rough howl from the water... (End of this chapter)
