Chapter 17 Yasao Fourth 7

Several disciples paddled and used nets to chase the shadows in the water. The other side shouted again: "There is also here!"

There was also a black shadow in the water over there, and several small boats dragged the net flying away, but nothing was caught by the net. Wei WuXian said, "It's weird. The shape of this shadow doesn't look like a human figure. And it's long and short, big and small... Lan Zhan, by your boat!"

Bichen on Lan Wangji's back unsheathed and stabbed into the water. After a while, it flew out of the river with a sharp whistle, bringing up a water rainbow. But nothing was stabbed.

He held the sword in his hand, his expression was solemn, and he was about to speak, when another student beside him also flew out a long sword and stabbed a black shadow that was swimming in the river.

But after his sword entered the water, he never came out. Activate the sword art and recall it again and again, but nothing is called out from the water. His sword seemed to have been swallowed by the lake and disappeared without a trace. The disciple looked at a young man about the same age as Wei Wuxian and the others. He lost his sword, and his face became whiter and whiter. An older student said, "Su She, I haven't checked out what's in the clear water yet. Why did you push your sword into the water without authorization?"

Su She seemed a little flustered, but his expression was still calm: "I saw Second Young Master also rushing the sword into the water..."

Before he finished speaking, he understood how deep and deep this sentence was. Whether it is Lan Wangji or Bichen Sword, no one else can compare. Lan Wangji can call his sword into the water when he doesn't know what the enemy is, but others don't. His face was pale and red with shame, as if he had been insulted, and glanced at Lan Wangji. Lan WangJi didn't look at him, he stared at the water, and after a while, Bichen pulled out again.

This time, the body of the sword was not inserted into the water, but the tip of the sword was picked up, and a black shadow that jumped over was picked out from the bottom of the water. The wet and pitch-black mass fell on the ship's board with a "thump" sound. Wei Wuxian stood on tiptoe and saw that it was actually a piece of clothing.

Wei WuXian laughed so hard that he almost shoved his head into the river, saying, "Lan Zhan, you are amazing! This is the first time I have seen a water ghost pulling the water ghost's clothes up."

Lan WangJi just looked at Bichen's sword tip, and seemed to have made up his mind not to talk to him. Jiang Cheng said, "Shut up. The one who swam under the water just now has no water ghost, only a piece of clothing!"

Of course Wei WuXian could see it clearly, he just didn't tease Lan WangJi, he felt uncomfortable, and said, "This is the dress that slipped around just now? No wonder the net can't catch it, the sword can't hit, and the shape has changed. It comes and goes. But a piece of clothing can never swallow a fairy sword. There must be other things in this water."

At this time, the ship has floated to the center of Biling Lake. The color of the lake is very deep, dark green and dark green. Suddenly, Lan Wangji raised his head slightly and said, "Go back now."

Lan XiChen said, "Why?"

Lan Wangji said, "The things in the water deliberately lead the boat to the center of Biling Lake."

As soon as the voice fell, everyone felt that the hull of the ship sank suddenly.

The water quickly spread into the boat, and Wei WuXian suddenly discovered that the water in Biling Lake was no longer dark green, but almost black. Especially near the center of the lake, a huge vortex was born around unconsciously, and a dozen boats were spinning along the vortex, sinking as they turned, as if they were about to be sucked down by a giant black mouth!

The sound of unsheathing was clanging, and everyone rose up with their swords one after another. Wei WuXian had already risen into the air and looked down, only to see that the board of the boat that Su She, the protégé who drove his sword into the water, had been swallowed into Biling Lake. , don't know if was scared. Without thinking, Wei Wuxian bent down, reached out, grabbed his wrist, and dragged it up.

With one more person, the sword body suddenly sank under his feet, but it was still rising. But it didn't take long for him to ascend, when a strong force suddenly came from Su She's side, almost pulling Wei Wuxian off the sword.

Su She's lower body was already submerged in the black vortex in the lake. The vortex turned faster and faster, and his body sank deeper and deeper, as if something was lurking at the bottom of the water, holding his legs and dragging it down. Jiang Cheng stepped on his three poisons, so he rose to a height of about 20 meters above the lake in a leisurely manner, looked down, rushed down, and said, "What are you doing?!"

The suction from Biling Lake was getting stronger and stronger. Wei Wuxian's sword was superior in its lightness and ingenuity, but it was weak because of its lack of strength. While stabilizing his body, he grabbed Su She with both hands and shouted, "Who will help! If I can't pull it up again, I have to let go!"

Suddenly, Wei Wuxian tightened his back, and his body was lifted into the air. He turned his head and saw that Lan Wangji was holding his back collar with one hand. Although Lan WangJi just looked away indifferently, but he alone and a sword, bear the weight of three people, and at the same time compete with the unknown force in the lake, their positions are still steadily rising and rising. . Jiang Cheng was slightly startled: "If I just went down and dragged Wei Wuxian to fight the three poisons, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to rise so quickly and steadily. Lan Wangji is only about my age..."

At this time, Wei WuXian said, "Lan Zhan, your sword is very powerful? Thank you, but why are you pulling me by the collar? Can't you pull me? I feel uncomfortable like this. I'll give you my hand. , you pull me."

Lan Wangji said coldly, "I don't touch anyone else."

Wei WuXian said, "We are so familiar with each other, what kind of people are we?"

Lan Wangji said, "I'm not familiar with it."

Wei Wuxian pretended to be hurt and said, "How can you be like this..."

Jiang Cheng couldn't bear it anymore, and scolded: "How can you be like this!!! Can you say a few words less when you are held in the air by the collar?!"

Yu Jian's group quickly withdrew from Biling Lake and landed on the shore. Lan Wangji let go of the right hand that was holding Wei Wuxian's collar, turned around calmly, and said to Lan Xichen, "It's Shui Xingyuan."

Lan XiChen shook his head: "This is tricky."

As soon as the name "Shui Xingyuan" came out, Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng knew it. The most terrifying thing in Biling Lake and this river is not the water ghost, but the water flowing in it.

In some rivers or lakes, due to the terrain or water flow, shipwrecks or living people often fall into the water. Over time, the waters will develop temperament. Just like the spoiled young lady who refuses to be short of brocade clothes and jade food, cargo ships and living people will be drowned and sacrificed every once in a while. If not, you will have to ask for it yourself.

People in the area of ​​Caiyi Town are familiar with water, and there have been very few tragic incidents of sinking or falling into the water. It is impossible to raise water in the vicinity. Since Shui Xingyuan appeared here, there is only one possibility: it was driven from somewhere else.

Once Shui Xingyuan is cultivated, the entire water area becomes a monster, which is extremely difficult to remove. Unless the water is drained, all the submerged people and objects are salvaged, and the riverbed is exposed to the sun for three years and five years. And this is almost impossible. However, there is a way of harming others and benefiting oneself that can solve the momentary worries and the troubles of one party. That is to drive it into other rivers and lakes, and let it go to harm other places.

Lan WangJi asked, "Have you been disturbed by the Water Xingyuan recently?"

Lan XiChen pointed to the sky.

He was referring to nothing but the sun. Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng looked at each other, knowing clearly in their hearts: "Qishan Wen sect."

Among the immortal gates, large and small aristocratic families are dotted, and there are countless. However, above this, there is a behemoth that absolutely surpasses them, the Qishan Wen Sect.

Wen's family uses the sun as the family crest, which means "to compete with the sun, and to live with the sun". The immortal mansion covers a very wide area, which is comparable to a city. It is said that there is no night in the city. It is said that it is a behemoth, because no matter the number of students, strength, land, and fairy artifacts, other families are far behind, and there is no one who can compete with it. Many cultivators regard it as their supreme honor to be the guest of the Wen family. With the style of Wen's behavior, it is very likely that they rushed over to Shui Xingyuan in Caiyi Town.

Although they knew the source of the water troubles here, everyone was silent.

If the Wen family did what they did, no matter how much they accused and condemned, it would be useless. First of all, his family will not admit it, and secondly, there will be no compensation.

A student said angrily: "His family drove Shui Xingyuan here, but it will endanger Caiyi Town. If Shui Xingyuan grows up and spreads into the river in the town, so many people will be lost every day. Making a living on a monster is really..."

With such intractable diseases thrown over by others, the Gusu Lan Sect will inevitably be in trouble from now on. Lan XiChen sighed: "That's it. That's it. Let's go back to town."

They boarded the new boat at the ferry and rowed toward the densely populated part of the town.

After crossing the arch bridge, the boat sailed into the river, and Wei Wuxian had another attack.

He threw the bamboo wormwood, stepped on the side of the boat with one foot, looked into the mirror, and saw if his hair was messed up. He didn't look like he had just picked up a few water ghosts and escaped from the mouth of Shui Xingyuan, and rushed forward in a calm manner. The two sides threw a wink: "Sister, how much is a pound of loquat?"

He is very young, handsome and handsome, and his high spirits are really like flowing water. A woman flipped the bamboo hat, raised her head and smiled, "Little Langjun, don't use money to give you a hello?"

Wu Yin is soft and glutinous, sweet and sweet. The speaker's lips and teeth are lingering, and the listener's ears are filled with fragrance. Wei WuXian cupped his hands and said, "My sister gave it, of course I want it!"

The woman reached out and touched the frame, and raised her hand to fly out a round golden loquat: "Don't be polite, you look handsome!"

The boat was moving very fast, and the two boats immediately brushed past each other. Wei Wuxian turned around to meet him, smiled and said, "Sister is even more beautiful!"

Beside him, bees and butterflies were flying all over the sky, while Lan Wangji kept his eyes fixed. Wei WuXian proudly took the loquat in his hand and tossed it, then suddenly pointed at him and said, "Sister, do you think he is handsome?"

Lan WangJi never expected that he would suddenly get involved with him. Just as he didn't know how to deal with it, the women on the river said in unison, "More handsome!" There seemed to be a few men's laughter in the middle.

Wei WuXian said, "Then who will give him one? Just give it to me but not him, I'm afraid he will go back and make jealousy with me!"

The whole river was filled with laughter and laughter. Another woman came on the punting boat and said, "Okay, give me two. Eat my food, Xiao Langjun will pick it up!"

The second one also fell into his hands, and Wei Wuxian shouted, "Big sister is beautiful and kind, I'll buy it next time. Buy a basket!"

The woman had a bright tone and even more courage. She pointed at Lan Wangji and said, "Tell him to come too, and you can buy it together!"

Wei WuXian brought the loquat to Lan WangJi. Lan Wangji looked straight ahead and said, "Take it away."

Wei WuXian took it away, "I knew you wouldn't want it. That's why I didn't plan to give it to you. Jiang Cheng, go on!"

Just as Jiang Cheng flew past in another boat, he took the loquat with one hand, smiled a little, and hummed, "Are you scratching your head again?"

Wei WuXian said proudly, "Go away!" He turned his head and asked again, "Lan Zhan, you are from Gusu, so you can speak the same language here, right? You teach me how to scold people in Gusu dialect?"

Lan Wangji threw him a "boring" and boarded another boat.Wei Wuxian didn't expect him to really answer, but it was very interesting to hear the accent here, thinking that Lan Wangji must have said this since he was a child, it was fun to tease him.He raised his head and took a sip of the glutinous rice wine, carrying the small round black jar, grabbed the bamboo wormwood, and killed Jiang Cheng.

Lan Wangji and Lan Xichen stood side by side. This time, the two even looked a bit alike. They both looked preoccupied, thinking about how to deal with Shui Xingyuan and how to explain many follow-up matters to the mayor of Caiyi Town..

A cargo ship with a very heavy draught greeted us on the opposite side, and the ship was filled with heavy baskets of golden loquats.Lan Wangji glanced at it and continued to look straight ahead.

Lan XiChen said, "You want to eat loquats, do you want to buy a basket?"

"..."

Lan Wangji walked away: "I don't want to!"

He stood on another boat again.
