Chapter 242 Evened Sailing upstream is always slower than sailing downstream, and before we knew it, it was dusk again. It was a rainy and foggy day when I came here, and the scenery on the Weishui River was gray and light like ink. But today is a sunny day. After the sunset, the sky above the river was deep blue and almost black, and the sky light was like a dream. The mountains on both sides turned into black silhouettes, and were reflected in the water together with the sky light. Lin Jue and the other man stopped the boat and let it drift on the water. They lit a night lamp and sat cross-legged on the boat to enjoy the sky and water scenery at that time. "Brother." The little sister looked at the spiritual gold and spiritual wood in his bag, "These alone are enough to make twenty or thirty bean soldiers, right?" "almost." "That's catching up with Third Senior Brother!" The junior sister frowned, feeling that things were not simple. "Third Senior Brother has been refining his bean soldiers for more than ten years, and his level of cultivation is higher than mine. Even if I could make all of them, I would still not be able to compare to him." Lin Jue said, "It's Junior Sister who is getting more and more powerful." "Much worse than my brother..."
"You learn the Five Elements magic. If you can find the Five Elements spiritual magic, you will be able to surpass me in fighting magic one day." Lin Jue said, "But cultivation is not only about fighting magic. Even if troubled times are coming, don't put all your energy on it." "understood!" The junior sister nodded seriously. "The scenery here is excellent, the water vapor is rich, and it's neither too cold nor too hot. Just meditate well and stop thinking about other things." "it is good!" Junior sister is always obedient. At this time, there were still no other boats on the water, only two water birds playing in the distance, sometimes diving into the water, sometimes coming out of the water, and sometimes running on the water. Under the gradually dimming and increasingly dreamy skylight, ripples spread out on the mirror-like river surface. The covered boat, the two people sitting cross-legged on the bow, and the fox lying beside it all became silhouettes under the sunlight, embellishing the scenery in the river. One person meditates and gains insights, while the other quietly observes the scenery. Both are practices. No one on the boat spoke for a moment. Before we knew it, the sky was getting darker and darker, and the two lights on and off the boat seemed brighter and brighter. Lin Jue felt a pity in his heart. Although the harvest was rich, there were also some unfortunate things. First, after this battle, all twelve bean soldiers were injured to varying degrees, and some were seriously damaged, and needed to be repaired after returning. Second, in this fight, the Alligator Dragon King, General Rhino, and Chicken Immortal were all poisoned. Although the fight lasted for quite a while, they did not use many magic spells. Only when the Alligator Dragon King spit out his minions did Lin Jue feel a little nervous. There must be a new "demon minions" in the book. However, this magic is too sinister and vicious, and it cannot be practiced by upright practitioners. It's worth a look. A quick look can reveal its mysteries, weaknesses and flaws, and increase your knowledge and experience.
If you go deeper, you can understand the principles behind its magic, and perhaps you will be able to apply it to other situations in the future, and understand the great principles it fits into, seeing the big picture from the small, and gain more knowledge on the path of enlightenment through magic. However, before the fight, when refining the elixir, Lin Jue took the time to touch the Chicken Immortal's Sun Spirit Fire. There are no other spells. There is also the rat demon that ran away. These three are better. The most regrettable thing was that during the fight with the Alligator King, he used several flying swords, but they were all swung away by the Alligator King's tail. Some of them were summoned back on the spot, and some were found later, but two of the flying swords disappeared and were not found until he left. Most likely it fell into the river. I guess I'll have to rebuild it. Fortunately, now that we have the gold essence, these flying swords are going to be melted again and forged again. It's just that there is some sentimentality about old things, like it has been with me for so long, it has helped me diligently, and I am very convenient to use it, and now I just throw it away, I feel reluctant to part with it, and I feel a little sorry for it. At this moment, the night light suddenly lit up. "Oh!" There was a loud explosion, and the entire surface of the river was illuminated. Lin Jue and Fox suddenly turned their heads and looked in both directions respectively. The little sister who was meditating and practicing also opened her eyes instantly and touched her sword with her left hand. However, it was just a big carp that suddenly jumped up from the river and landed on the boat where the two men and the fox were riding. clap clap clap! Carp lapped against the boat. Just like that night. "Is it that Wei girl?" The little sister was very alert. She looked around but didn't see anything. Then she stood up and picked up the carp. "Or did it jump up by itself?" "I don't know." "It seems that we haven't reached the river section of Wei Nu yet." "Yes." "You said there was no food tonight, but here it is!" The junior sister was extremely hungry. She didn't care about anything else and just took out a dagger and cut open the carp. However, she was surprised to find two beans hidden in the fish's belly. "Brother!" The junior sister showed it to Lin Jue. It was exactly the two flying swords that Lin Jue dropped. The two looked at each other and were truly sure that the carp was indeed sent by the Wei woman. Lin Jue immediately stood up and bowed towards the water: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The water surface was still calm, with no lights or ripples. But a female voice came from somewhere: "Why thank you? You three have helped all the spirits in the Weishui River get rid of the demon king, and you have restored my peace. If there is anyone to thank, I should thank you." "Why don't you show yourself?" "..." After a few breaths, a bright yellow light appeared in the water, gradually turning from dark to bright, and then left the water surface. It was a wooden lantern, held by a slender white hand. The owner of the hand was a classical woman wearing a red and green chest-length skirt. She was like a water spirit, walking out of the water silently, as if there was an invisible staircase under the water, and she walked out of the water without causing any splashes. "It is indeed somewhat rude to speak without showing your presence." The woman stepped barefoot on the water, facing the two men at the bow in the evening, bowed politely, and said again: "Thank you all." "You're welcome." Lin Jue returned the greeting, "At the Alligator King's birthday banquet, you spoke for us, and we have to thank you for that." "That's the reward for the three of you buying shoes for me." "Speaking of shoes..." Lin Jue put away the two beans, looked at the woman, and suddenly paused: "You haven't paid for the shoes yet. Mr. Luo who is traveling with us said that he still needs five taels and two cents of silver." "No." "You are in the Weishui River. There are countless shipwrecks in the river over the past thousands of years. Most of the jewelry on your body is gold and silver. How can you not have money?" The junior sister looked at the woman carefully and saw that she indeed had a lot of gold and silver jewelry on her body. She thought she might say something like "These jewelry were on her body when she died", but she smiled and said: "I am not short of money, nor do I have any intention of defrauding money from you three. It's just that you three cheated me once, and I cheated you three once, so we are even." Lin Jue laughed when he heard it. This woman is interesting. On the boat that day, they gave her some snacks and drinks, so she showed them the way and reminded them, they bought shoes for her, so she really spoke up for them at the banquet of the Crocodile Dragon King, and when they killed the Crocodile Dragon King, she returned two sword pills for him. And she showed them the way only to thank them for the snacks and drinks, spoke up for them to thank them for buying shoes, and returned two sword pills for them to thank them for killing the Crocodile Dragon King, which seemed to be a matter of keeping things separate. And this was exactly what he expected— When they arrived here, the Wei woman guessed that they were here to cause trouble for the Crocodile King. "There is a folk legend. Have you heard of it?" "What legend?" "A fox that is a thousand years old will turn into a beautiful woman, a snake that is a thousand years old will break and then continue, and a mouse that is a hundred years old can predict the future." The woman told them, "There is a similar legend about the crocodile dragon in this place." "You might as well talk about it." "For a crocodile with horns, either you have to cut off its horns or keep its body out of water for three years, otherwise it might be resurrected." The woman said, "Did you two Taoists notice that there is an inconspicuous little bump on the head of the crocodile?" Lin Jue said: "No wonder..." "Ok?"
"Please rest assured, the head of the alligator dragon king has been chopped off, its skin has been peeled off, and its body has been burned. As for the horns on its head..." Lin Jue took out something from the sack beside him. It was a small, earthy grey, pointed object about the length of a palm, and shaped like a bamboo shoot. Compared to the huge body of the Alligator King, it was indeed inconspicuous: "There must be a hero here who has heard of this kind of legend. He dug out this horn and gave it to me when he left." Lin Jue was not worried at all. Regardless of whether these rumors are true or false, even if the Alligator King can be resurrected, it will be many years later. It is not a real demon king. How can I still be afraid of it at that time? "I'm worrying too much." "Thank you for reminding." "I wanted to come aboard and talk to you two Taoist priests, but someone came on the water." The woman in the water saluted them again, "I'll remind you again: although the crocodile king here doesn't have a stunning backer, he has some background. He was originally practicing here, and he only needed to survive a chaotic world, and he could take advantage of the chaotic world to gain enlightenment, and he could become an immortal or a real demon king, but he was interrupted by the two Taoist priests. Two Taoist priests, please be careful in what you do." “Any more detailed reminders?” "If you don't do bad things during the day, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door at night. As long as the order of the Nine Heavens has not collapsed, there are still rules. If the Taoist priest walks upright and sits upright, he will face the Nine Heavens God directly and have nothing to fear." "Thank you." Lin Jue has a clear conscience. In fact, compared to the later reminders, he was more concerned about this season. It was so late, who would come out of the water? There was only a breeze on the river, and the woman and the lantern in her hand disappeared into the night, leaving only the faint light of the sky and the stars, and the boat swaying on the water. Not long after, there were suddenly some lights in the distance. As I got closer, the light turned into a sea of lights, and when I got even closer I could see that it was a dragon boat slowly floating on the water. The bow of the boat was hung with lanterns, reflecting a large flag with the three characters "Juxianfu" written on it. There was also a middle-aged man with a long beard and wearing a Taoist robe standing on the bow. He had an immortal look, but his face was full of sorrow. "We can dock here!" Someone on the boat shouted. The dragon boat slowly stopped, and only then did someone notice that there was a little light and a covered boat on the wide river. (End of this chapter)
