A knife in love

Chapter 598

Among Yuanjue's dozen or so disciples, if it comes to martial arts, Huiqing is naturally the highest, while in terms of intelligence and dexterity, Huijing is the most recommended.It's just that if anyone is the most timid, Huiwen must be the first.She is only 15 years old this year, and she was originally the daughter of a farmer's family in Wangmiao Village.When he was nine years old, a mountain torrent broke out, and except for Huiwen, his whole family was swept away by the flood.Seeing that she was pitiful, Yuanjue sent her to Kule Nunnery.Back then when the flood was raging, Huiwen's father risked his life and pushed her to the roof, but he was swept away by the flood, so Huiwen was most afraid of water.After listening to Yuanjue's words, she involuntarily took a few steps back.It's just that even though he was far away from the pool, he felt a chill coming from all directions.The pool was so green that it made people panic, and there seemed to be a big hand hidden under the water, which would reach out at any time and drag people down.

Huiwen looked at the emerald green pool water, and the more she looked, the more frightened she became. She couldn't help shivering, and said in a trembling voice, "Master, it's so cold here!"

Situ Qiao snorted and said, "It's not cold, it's Yin Qi. If my guess is correct, many people died in this pool."

Yuanjue clasped his hands together, and said in a trembling voice: "Amitabha. The poor monk heard from the seniors of Wuji Temple that after the two ferryboats on which the Yandang Sect was boarded were swallowed by a pool of water, more than a dozen experts from the Xianyan Gang who crossed the Yangtze River jumped into the water. A water pool, I want to dive into the bottom of the water to save people. The Xianyan Gang lived on the bank of the Yangtze River for a long time, and helped everyone to master water skills. With them going into the water to save people, they are sure to be safe. It's just that after the dozen or so masters entered the water pool, they were silent. At the beginning The leader of the Xianyan Gang didn't care about it, and told the leaders of the various gangs present that the gang members of the Xianyan Gang are proficient in water, and some can hold their breath underwater for more than an hour. Dozens of people from the Yandang Sect fell into the water. The crowd must have been busy underwater for a while, so it's not surprising that they didn't return for a while. It's just that the masters of each gang waited on the shore for two hours, but no one returned to the shore.

"Among the members of the Xianyan Gang who went into the water to save people, one of them is the only son of the gang leader. The leader of the gang saw that everyone hadn't come out of the water after two hours, so he knew that something must have happened underwater. He loved his son eagerly, regardless Dissuaded by other gang leaders, I brought five or six of the most water-oriented members of the Xianyan Gang into the water. It’s just that they never came back. Everyone is trapped in this pool, who dares to go into the water. After discussing with several respectable and decent heads, they immediately ordered to evacuate from the pool and leave along the cave in the cliff."

Yuan Jue let out a long sigh when he said this, and continued: "There are a total of more than one hundred Jianghu gangs participating in the battle of Wujiguan, almost including all the famous martial arts figures in the north and south of the river. Therefore, this pool swallowed up the Yandang faction and Xianyan. Everyone in the Jianghu knew about the incident of gangsterism. Since the First World War, no one in the Jianghu dared to cross this water pool to go to Wuji Temple. Therefore, Wuji Temple did not rebuild the ferry, but dug a stone cave for the Demon Cult. As the only passage to Wuji Temple. Therefore, if we want to go to Wuji Temple, we don’t need to pass through this pool.”

Situ Qiao suddenly said: " according to the master, the Yandang sect and Xianyan sect who died in this pool of martial arts were no more than 70 or [-] people. However, according to my opinion, there are not only so few souls in this pool. .”

Huijing wondered: "Mr. Situ, can you count how many people died in this pool without seeing the corpses?"

Situ Qiao laughed and said: "No one has seen ghosts in the world, so naturally we can't speak nonsense. It's just that after a person dies, the aura disappears, and what remains is a cold body. Little nun, I think you have seen it before." Corpse, why not think about it carefully, standing next to the corpse, will you feel cold?"

Huijing said: "That's natural. It's just that most of them are scaring ourselves, but it's nothing special. We worship Buddha and Bodhisattvas. We are blessed by Buddha. Even if there are evil spirits, we are not afraid. Amitabha Buddha."

Li Qiufeng was a little amused when he heard Huijing's miscellaneous and miscellaneous remarks.Huiqing was a little annoyed at Huijing's nonsense, glared at her, and then said to Yuanjue: "Master, the water we brought is running out, can we fetch some water from this pool..."

Before she finished speaking, Huiming said in surprise: "Brother, so many people died in this pool, how can we drink the water in this pool?"

Huiqing said: "That happened hundreds of years ago, so what is there to be afraid of? We have the blessings of Buddha and Guanyin Bodhisattva, so we will naturally turn disasters into good fortunes. I don't know if the road ahead is good or not. It'll last a few days. But without water we're bound to be in big trouble."

Huiming didn't dare to say any more, but he was dissatisfied and whispered a few words to Huijing.Huijing pursed her lips and smiled, then shook her head at Huiming, signaling her not to argue with Huiqing.She had nothing to do, when she saw a two-foot-long wooden stick by her feet, she picked it up, squatted on the bank, and gently stirred it in the pool with the stick.It is quite interesting to watch the water waves rippling away layer by layer.

But Yuanjue said: "Although we are disciples of the Buddhist sect, we don't care about those gods and ghosts. It's just that the Buddha also said not to swallow dirt. After we climbed the cliff, there is a big waterfall not far away. Therefore, there is no need to worry about lack of water. We should hurry on our way as soon as possible, and we must arrive at Wuji Temple before nightfall..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly heard Huijing's scream and threw herself into the pool.Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Qiufeng moved his right foot and reached the shore.It's just that Huijing's body has already flew up, and it seems that a big hand is holding her and dragging her down into the pool.Li Qiufeng grabbed the ankle of Huijing's right foot with his left hand and pulled it back forcefully.It's just that Huijing's pounce was extremely fierce, and Li Qiufeng was afraid that he would hurt Huijing by pulling it too hard, so he only used [-]% of his strength.But in this way, he couldn't resist the force that pulled Huijing.Not only did he fail to pull Huijing back to the shore, but he was pulled by the force and took a step towards the water pool.

In the blink of an eye, Yuanjue and the others didn't react at all, they just watched Huijing and Li Qiufeng being dragged towards the pool by an invisible big hand.

Seeing that Huijing's body had already flown above the water, she was about to fall into the water.But Li Qiufeng didn't dare to use all his strength, but was dragged to the shore.At this critical moment, Li Qiufeng flicked his right hand, and a copper coin shot out, hitting the wooden stick in Huijing's hand.Just hearing a "click", the wooden stick broke into two pieces immediately.Li Qiufeng only felt that the force that dragged Huijing suddenly disappeared, and his hand lightened.He saw the opportunity very quickly, pulled back with all his left hand, and immediately pulled back Huijing who had fallen one foot from the water surface.

Yuanjue and the others just woke up like a dream, and when they saw Huijing's body left the water, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, Huijing's body had just soared into the air, and there was a "crash", the water surface suddenly churned, and a black shadow jumped out of the water, and chased Huijing.

Li Qiufeng's heart trembled, he didn't expect that there were enemies hidden under the water.At this time, he was standing on the shore with both feet, leaning forward with his whole body, and pulling Huijing back with his left hand.Seeing the critical situation, with a shake of his right hand, two more copper coins shot out, hitting the shadow directly.At the same time, he stepped back, trying to pull Huijing from the water back to the shore.

Hearing a "click", Huijing only felt a pain in the top of her head, and couldn't help screaming.It's just that Li Qiufeng tried his best to save her, but she felt that she was being dragged back as if she was flying in the air.When she woke up, she was already standing about Zhang Xu on the shore.

Just hearing a "crash", the black shadow has fallen back into the pool.I saw splashes surging on the surface of the water, and the black shadow had disappeared into the water.After a while, the surface of the water returned to normal, without any ripples, as if nothing had happened.It's just that something slowly rose from the water, but the half of the stick that was interrupted by Li Qiufeng floated up from the bottom of the water.

Huijing calmed down for a while, seeing Yuanjue, Huiqing, Huiming and others surrounded him, and then remembered the situation just now.Her body trembled for a while, and she couldn't help throwing herself into Yuanjue's arms. She just called out "Master", then burst into tears and said, "Master, Master, I, I'm afraid, I'm afraid!"

Situ Qiao walked to Li Qiufeng's side, looked at the unfathomable deep green water pool in front of him, but was a little frightened, and said in a trembling voice, "Brother Li, do you see who it is?"

Li Qiufeng didn't answer, but just stared at the wooden stick in the pool.After a while, he turned his head and looked around, and saw a dead branch lying on the ground not far away, so he quickly walked over to pick up the dead branch, walked back to the bank, and picked up the half of the stick with the dead branch. ashore.

Li Qiufeng picked up the wooden stick with his right hand and put it in front of his eyes to watch carefully.But he saw bite marks all over the end of the wooden stick, as if it had been bitten by sharp teeth.

Li Qiufeng then turned his head and said to Situ Qiao: "That's not human!"

Situ Qiao was stunned, and said, "Isn't it a human? Could it be a ghost?"

Li Qiufeng shook his head and said, "That's not a human, let alone a ghost, but a fish!"

Situ Qiao was startled, recalling the situation just now, he couldn't help but shook his head, and said, "Although I didn't see the black shadow clearly, it was more than ten feet long. Although this pool is not small, it is not a big lake or sea. How can there be such a big fish? What's more, how can there be a black fish in the world?"

Li Qiufeng said: "I don't know if there is such a big black fish in the world, but just now I was on the shore, much closer than Mr. Situ, so I saw it was indeed a black fish."

When he said this, Huijing was sobbing and crying, and turned his head to look.But Huijing's head was dripping with blood, and she didn't know when she was injured.Huiqing hurriedly took out a gourd from her bosom, and wanted to treat Huijing's wound.Li Qiufeng walked over quickly, only to see Huiqing take out a clean cloth handkerchief, and gently wipe off the blood on Huijing's head.At this time, Huijing's shock had calmed down a bit, although Huiqing was extremely careful, every time she wiped it, it was painful and shocking.It's just that Huijing was afraid that her master and fellow disciples would be worried, so she tried her best not to say a word.

Li Qiufeng looked at the wound on the top of Huijing's head, and saw two bloodstains extending from the center of her celestial cap to her forehead. Although the wound was not deep, but she was a nun with hair loss, the wound looked quite shocking.

Li Qiufeng turned his head and said to Situ Qiao: "I can now conclude that the monster in the pool must be a fish, a man-eating fish!"
