On the bank of the river, the three brothers watched the ferry slowly rowing to the other side.
The ferry trip also requires a pearl. Looking from the side, the beads are unevenly yellow and white, slightly larger than grains, of very poor quality, and should be of the lowest value. Regardless of the merits or demerits, the three brothers could not take it out, so they could only let the small boat carry three or five people, as well as the man carrying the big bow, to cross the river.
After a while, the three brothers turned and left the shore. However, they each held wine jars, and their actions were a bit strange.
Thousands of feet away along the river, there is a secluded forest.
Lin stepped into the forest, stopped slowly, and then put the two wine jars in his hands into the Qiankun Ring. Laolong and Hutou each held five or six wine jars in their arms, and they disappeared one after another.
As the man ran towards the ferry, the three brothers then left the wine shop. However, since they said there is still a surplus of wine money, how can we return empty-handed? As a result, the wine jars under the tree were swept away. And the posture of holding hands and arms, it seems that three old drunkards are moving, it is nothing more than hiding from others.
Lin Yi turned around and looked at the other side through the woods, with some curiosity in his eyes.
Old Long asked: "Boss! Are you going to chase the man who killed the dragon?"
Hutou said: "Why are you chasing him? How can a mortal kill a fierce dragon..."
Lin Yi pondered for a moment and said: "The mortals we have met have only seen a few hundred miles. It is difficult to get more details from them, let alone the direction of Moshan where Xiannu is. But the man's words are unusual, so we might as well chase him and have a look. one look……"
Now that the boss has made his decision, the two brothers have nothing to say.
Lin Yi suddenly turned around and asked, "Old Long, where are you from?"
Remember that Laolong has nine divine dragon clans, and there should be a place for the clansmen to live. But to this day, I have never heard him mention it.
The old dragon looked calm and responded: "I can't remember..."
This is no longer the case in the past, when people often used old age and forgetfulness as an excuse. Since it is the place of birth, how can you know nothing about it?
Lin Yi looked puzzled when he heard the other person say: "The four sacred beasts are all born and raised. Either out of the sea or out of the deep pool, and then after countless years of suffering and tempering, they can become a supreme being. And In the end, there are only a few who truly achieve the status of god. Therefore, it is not easy for people with similar cultivation and similar temperaments to come together and form a clan just to strengthen and inherit the family. It can be seen that I was lucky enough to meet the boss, and then I had someone to rely on..."
After Lao Long finished speaking, he held his hand on his golden beard and sighed with emotion.
The nine divine dragon clans have long become a thing of the past. The remnant soul has experienced so many delays and ups and downs in its rebirth!
The tiger head took a step back and looked away, looking indifferent. In fact, he was once a poor child, and everything was unbearable to look back on...
Lin Yi nodded slightly. After a while, he said in a deep voice with an affirmative tone: "One day, you and I will no longer have to run around. Let's look for green mountains and clear waters, watch the sun and moon leisurely, watch the clouds roll and relax, and laugh at the vicissitudes of life!"
The old dragon looked incomprehensible, but his heart was agitated.
Hu Tou suddenly looked at Lin Yi, his eyes sparkling, and he said happily: "At that time, my brother can eat when he wants, sleep when he wants, and fight when he wants. Wouldn't it be as comfortable and comfortable as home... …”
Lin Yi was also touched and couldn't help but be slightly startled.
Lin abandoned his family and cut off all ties in the world, just to pursue the ethereal immortality. But everything in the past has not disappeared, but has been with us all the way, and provided comfort and warmth when we were most lonely and lonely!
Hutou may not have had the experience of living at home, but he still regards home as the most comfortable place! As it turns out, isn't everything back to the starting point? Is what I am pursuing a path to immortality, or an ideal home...
Lin Yiyou let out a long sigh, said no more, and instead used the Earth Escape method to sink into the ground.
The two brothers then...
…
This is a canyon with lush mountains and forests, upside-down waterfalls and pleasant autumn scenery. Not far from here, there is a big river flowing.
In the afternoon, there was a group of people in the originally secluded canyon.
Around the deep pool where the waterfall is located, more than twenty strong men gathered. Each one of them is holding a sharp weapon and is covered in dust. They should have just come from afar, but each of them is extremely excited and full of murderous intent.
On a hillside a hundred feet away, there were three old men standing. Don’t think too much, it’s Lin Da, Lin Er, Lin San!
Xu Shi was aware of it and was deeply surprised. A man left the crowd and ran over. He hurriedly stopped in front of the hillside and asked: "What do the three old people mean by chasing after them so hard? Are they trying to get the beads back? They are so easy to bully..."
The man carrying the big bow was the son of the shopkeeper of Jiuquwan Ferry. His original name was Shan Qi. After crossing the river, he met the people as promised, rested for another night, and then ran for hundreds of miles before arriving here. But before they could catch their breath, the three old men who were causing trouble in the wine shop at home followed them...
Shan Qi was surprised again and said: "The three of them are dressed in different clothes and have extremely nimble legs and feet. They are not local elderly people. Could it be...could it be..." He tightened the big bow on his back and was filled with doubts for a moment.
Hutou knew that he would get into trouble if he spoke out, so he simply sneered and ignored it.
Lao Long always respected the boss and remained silent.
Lin Yi took a step forward and Fu Xu said with a smile: "Although we are old, we are all martial arts practitioners. It is not difficult to cover hundreds of miles between day and night. And wandering here is just a side trip!" He glanced at the man a few feet away, turned to look far away, and asked casually: "What do you want to do when you gather in this canyon..."
Shan Qi understood that he was overthinking and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. And he looked at the three old men, but did not answer, and asked doubtfully: "Martial arts practitioners? How can you say..."
People who practice martial arts are what ordinary people call them. But prehistoric times are another world, with completely different situations.
Lin Yi pondered for a moment and said: "Those who strengthen their muscles and bones and cultivate their inner and outer essence are those who practice martial arts..."
Hearing this, Shanqi seemed to suddenly realize.
At this moment, someone shouted: "Brothers, the time is coming..."
Shan Qi turned around and ran back, but did not forget to say hastily: "We will find out when the time comes!"
Hutou couldn't help but spat: "Ah! A group of mountain villagers dare to pretend to be mysterious..." He shook his head with great disdain, simply sat down on the spot, raised his hand and took out a jar of wine, enjoying himself. He said: "Brother Tiger, let's watch the fun..." He glanced at it and quickly changed his words: "It's Lin San who wants to watch the fun, haha..."
Lin Yi and Lao Long looked at each other speechlessly, then turned and continued to pay attention to the movement on the other side of the canyon.
In the blink of an eye, the man named Shan Qi had returned to his original place. Someone whispered to him, and then someone looked back. After a while, everyone became busy.
Several slaughtered wild goats were tied with tendons and secured to the ground with wooden stakes. The blood flowed gradually into the pool not far away.
More than twenty men were scattered in all directions, all with bows, arrows, swords and axes in hand, ready to attack.
Before I knew it, it was approaching dusk.
The canyon seemed to suddenly become much quieter. The splashing sound of the waterfall became more and more crisp. Even though the mountain wind leaves no trace, it can still reach my ears. More than twenty men were holding their breath and concentrating...
Lin Yi and Lao Long were still watching silently. Hu Tou held the empty wine jar and looked up...
At this moment, the deep pool connected to the river suddenly changed. The water surface of dozens of feet slowly rose, and then there was a "bang" sound and water splashed. Then a black monster broke out of the water, opened its big mouth and swallowed the wild goat on the shore.
The tiger head grinned and said happily: "Ho ho! The first born with a single horn is really a young river dragon. It has already achieved the beast elixir. Those guys are going to be in trouble..." After all, he has the inheritance of his ancestors and has been in charge of the demon realm. , his eyesight is not bad, and he immediately recognized the origin of the monster in the deep pool.
However, the more than twenty men were already on guard.
At the moment when the river dragon swallowed the wild goat, a sudden change occurred. The beef tendon rope tied to the wooden stake suddenly tightened, and in an instant it had tightly trapped the river dragon's head. At the same time, there was a sudden shouting all around. I saw people who had been preparing for a long time swarming forward, their swords and axes flying rapidly.
"Ouch——"
The river dragon was suddenly besieged and caught off guard. In an instant, he knew he had been fooled. It was forced to spit out the delicious food in its mouth and roared with its head raised. Then there was another "bang" sound, and the beef tendon as thick as a thumb collapsed. And he was so angry that he jumped out of the deep pool.
Several approaching men had no time to dodge and were knocked away in an instant.
The river dragon refused to give up and became even more crazy. Its body of four to five feet rolled up water mist all over the sky, as if it were so powerful that it was so powerful that it was unstoppable.
Seeing this, everyone was frightened and fled away.
Someone shouted: "Shan Qi! Why don't you take action..."
Immediately afterwards, another person was knocked to the ground, and the dozen or so men who survived were already in a desperate situation and were in danger. But the man named Shan Qi was hiding alone outside the crowd, with a big bow in his hand and an arrow on the string. He did not dare to hesitate, used both arms to make his bow as full as the moon, raised his hand towards the river dragon and shot——
"Boom——"
There was a bang of the bowstring, and the river dragon's madness suddenly stopped. I saw that a sharp arrow nearly five feet long had been inserted deeply into its left eye. Immediately afterwards, his four to five foot long body crashed to the ground and rolled violently.
Seeing this, the men around him became energetic and came back with swords and axes.
"Ouch——"
The river dragon roared again in unbearable pain. But in an instant, a layer of water mist splashed out from its body, and then it shook its head and tail and jumped up from the ground. It was like a soaring cloud with murderous intent, and it actually rushed straight towards a figure holding a big bow. Every injustice has its owner, and every debt has its owner, and it wants revenge on Shanqi!
After Shan Qi succeeded with the arrow, he was breathing heavily. But he didn't expect the river dragon to be so powerful, and it was already killing him in the blink of an eye. He gritted his teeth and refused to step back. He raised his hand to take out the sharp arrow from the quiver on his back and drew the bow again. His movements are like flowing clouds and flowing water, which can be said to be completed in one go. And when another string sounded, the river dragon swung its head and immediately dodged the sharp arrow and pounced down...
