"Where did it go?"
"I have been to the South China Sea when I traveled all over the world, and according to the fishermen who lived in the estuary, there was a big snake in this sea, called Dansheng, who loved to eat Jiao, and ate hundreds of Jiao at a meal, and then slept in the mud and sand for 30 years, and after waking up, he continued to hunt Jiaoren."
"So the so-called dragon king is Dansheng?"
"If I'm not mistaken, it's the beast.
Dansheng can resist water, and there will be floods everywhere he goes, so he is often respected as the dragon king by people who don't know its roots. ” "So the fish people came here from the South China Sea to avoid Dansheng, but the giant snake finally found them, in order to avoid the destruction of the whole clan, the fish people handed over the only bloodline to Lord Leng for adoption, but ten years ago the village was in drought, and the villagers thought that they had taken in Miss Leng and offended the Dragon King, so they stoned her to death in the water."
After Liu Xuzhu finished speaking, his heart was full of desolation.
Kong Zhou was not as emotional as him, he counted with his fingers, "Thirty years, Miss Leng died when she was twenty years old, and it has been ten years now, not good, I'm afraid that Dansheng will wake up again." ” Liu Xujiao was anxious, "Now that there is no fish for it to hunt, will Dansheng start cannibalism again like before?"
” Kong Zhou looked at him, "I'm just as worried about as Childe, so we must get rid of it before Dansheng wakes up." ” "But how do you find the place where it sleeps?"
"The serpent is afraid of being found, and usually looks for a place where the sand is piled up and inaccessible to people, and it likes to live and be cold, so it often hides in the cave," he pinched his chin, "and I don't know if there is any suitable place for it to sleep in this vicinity." ” "There is a place that fits the characteristics you mentioned," Xi Cheng, who had been listening quietly beside him, suddenly spoke, and he walked up to Kong Zhou, "I heard Er Niuzi say that when they were playing in the water, they once found a cave on the north side of the river, the hole was very large, and the outside was covered by a water curtain, and ordinary people couldn't enter it at all, and he also said, ah, it seemed that I faintly heard a slight snoring outside the cave, I thought he was deliberately scaring me, but now that I think about it, it is very likely that the beast is hiding." ” Kong Zhou slapped Xi Cheng's shoulder a few times, "Good boy, you heard us say so much, not only were you afraid, but you also provided such an important clue, it's really rare." ” Liu Xuzhu also walked over and looked at Xi Cheng approvingly, "This kid is not only bright-minded, but also kind-hearted and mellow, compared with other people in this village, it is more and more valuable."
He pulled Xi Cheng over, "You go home first, but remember, don't say a word about what you heard just now, okay?"
” Xi Cheng nodded heavily, "Big brother, Brother Kong, where are you going?"
” Kong Zhou pinned the wine gourd back to his waist and smiled, "Go find the Dragon King." ” The boat turned a corner on the turbulent river, entered a calm water, the two rowed the boat for a distance of about one acre, the sound of falling water came slowly, louder and louder, Liu Xujiao stopped paddling, walked to the bow of the boat and set up a pergola with his hands to look into the distance, watched for a while, and gradually reflected a black cave in his eyes, the long water curtain hung at the mouth of the hole, splashing a light mist on the water surface.
"This should be it."
Liu Xuzhu sat down again and grabbed the oars, and the two of them rowed forward more vigorously with Kong Zhou, and after a while, they came to the side of the cave.
The cave was huge, like a giant monster with its mouth wide open, and the curtains of water were the saliva in its mouth, as if it couldn't wait for the future to swallow it in one bite.
"Did you hear anything?"
Kong Zhou asked him.
Liu Xuzhu held his breath and condensed, and there seemed to be a faint snoring sound in his ears, which was sometimes loud and sometimes small, sometimes high and sometimes low, penetrating into the eardrum through the sound of water.
He punched Zhou nodded, "That beast should be here, right." ” Kong Zhou suddenly came to his senses, he tied the rope to a raised stone, and then glanced at Liu Xujiao.
Liu Xuzhu understood, and the two quickly took off their clothes, wore only a pair of middle pants, carried the long sword behind them, and jumped into the river at the same time, swimming towards the cave.
The sound of the water curtain was loud and hollow, Liu Xuzhu felt that his ears were about to be deaf, he plunged into the deep water one by one, passed through the water curtain from below, and when he came out, he found that Kong Zhou also swam in, and the two climbed onto a boulder in the cave and carefully looked at this isolated place.
The eyes are suddenly clear, the cave is spacious and bright, the blue pool under the body is rippling, the blue sky is above, the clouds and mist are picturesque, looking back at the sound of the water seems to be gone, everything in the cave is empty.
Liu Xujiao just wanted to sigh, but he heard a snoring sound again, this time he was in the cave, and the sound came to his ears without hindrance, and the volume was terrifying, like beating a drum.
Liu Xuzhu lowered his voice, "Brother Kong, that monster is in the pool below, while it is still asleep, you can kill it in one fell swoop with Chengying." ” Kong Zhou nodded, "In order to prevent that beast from escaping, I also asked Gongzi to stand on the boulder at the entrance of this cave to guard for me." ” Liu Xuzhu pulled out the green worm sword and held it in his palm, "I will definitely live up to my brother's trust." ” Kong Zhou rose into the air, holding the scabbard and rushing down the pool, but the scabbard had not yet entered the water, but a shout came from behind the water curtain, "Sir must not be so reckless, if you hurt the life of the child, the consequences will be unimaginable." ” With this shout, a man came under the water curtain, and he floated naked in the pool, his chest rising and falling up and down.
Kong Zhou stopped the movements of his subordinates, and his body flew out against the surface of the water, landing on the big stone where Liu Xujiao was standing.
"Is that you?"
Liu Xuzhu looked at the comer, wasn't he Yu Can'er from the village, he frowned, "Why did you come here?"
Also, how did you know that Dansheng was sleeping here?
” Yu Can'er stared at the two people in front of her, and after a long time, as if she had finally made up her mind, she climbed up with both hands on the boulder, exposing her entire body in front of them.
Liu Xujiao and Kong Zhou were taken aback at the same time, because Yu Can'er's lower body was not a human leg, but a thick fish tail, and the scales on the fish tail were shining silver, brighter than the waves reflected on the cave wall.
"You're a fishman?"
Liu Xuzhu exclaimed.
Yu Can'er leaned down slightly, "Don't dare to hide the two sons, the real Yu Can'er was dragged into the Jade River by Leng Yu's soul a few days ago, and died at the bottom of the river, I borrowed his body and blended into the village, and today in order to chase you, I showed my true body." ” "But aren't the fish-men extinct?
Why are you still there?
Kong Zhou was puzzled.
