Ninth Uncle Shi Shaojian

Chapter 157
Shi Shaojian plunged headlong into the Black Sea, and the sound of water came from behind him, and Jing Yunzi also jumped down.

After making several gestures to her, signaling her to go back, Jing Yunzi shook his head stubbornly, adjusted his posture, and dived into the water like a mermaid.

Shi Shaojian had no choice but to let her go.

The topography of the black bottom of the Black Sea should be pot-shaped, shallow near the coast, and it will become deeper and deeper towards the center of the sea.

The seabed is steep, and the shallowest place is more than ten meters. There are lush aquatic plants growing on it, which are dark green and sway gently in the water.They are so dense that they look very thick.They are also so common that they are easily overlooked, and when you ignore them, aquatic plants can deliver a fatal blow.

Just like now, the aquatic plants suddenly grow wildly, wrapping around Shi Shaojian and Jing Yunzi like tufts of hair.

Catching prey, the seabed seems to be in a carnival, and the nearby aquatic plants can't wait to get a share, wrapping Shi Shaojian and Jing Yunzi tightly.

The aquatic plants are very resilient, Shi Shaojian pulled hard and did not break, but quickly tightened as he continued to struggle, and his bones creaked.

"Is this the only thing you can do?" Shi Shaojian's eyes glowed with dazzling lightning, and tiny electric arcs burst out from the lightning element, wandering around the surface of his body.

The aquatic plants were hit by the electric arc, became soft, and then quickly pulled away, as if giving up on their prey.

Thunder roared, and the cocoon-like aquatic plants were torn apart.Brilliant light burst out with dazzling awns, and dense electric arcs swam along the sea water, forcing the seaweed within a few meters to shrink back.

Shi Shaojian got out of trouble, swam to the side of another "cocoon", pressed his palm on it, and crackling electric arcs wrapped the big cocoon.

Lightning is the nemesis of aquatic plants. After electric shock, aquatic plants become soft, like a loose ball of thread.Shi Shaojian took Jing Yunzi's hand, pulled her out, and quickly moved away from this dangerous place.

This kind of dark green aquatic plants are everywhere on the bottom of the sea. Their vitality is very tenacious. Stones, soil, biological bones... are all paradises for survival.

However, after the contact just now, the aquatic plants realized that the two prey in front of them belonged to hedgehogs. They were covered with thorns and were not easy to eat.

Shi Shaojian and the others swam 80 meters away. At this time, the water was hundreds of meters deep, and the buoyancy and water pressure became very strong. Even a mage-level monk could not bear it.

"It's strange, except for the aquatic plants, you didn't even meet a fish?" Shi Shaojian was suspicious, and carefully looked at the surrounding environment.

The sea was dark and dark, and there was not enough light. With the eyesight of a monk, he could only vaguely see the scenery within two or three meters.There are still large pieces of aquatic plants, they are dancers on the bottom of the sea, dancing gently and swaying.

Suddenly, Shi Shaojian and Jing Yunzi felt ants crawling on their necks, backs of hands, and arms, and their hair stood on end in the sea water.

"This is... electricity!?"

Shi Shaojian practiced Lightning and Thunder Fist, and he is an expert in playing with electricity. He is very familiar with this feeling, "Not good..."

A strong electric shock swept through his whole body, Shi Shaojian froze for a moment and then returned to normal, Jing Yunzi was not so relaxed, and his whole body was floating in the water stiffly.

It was so sudden that Jing Yunzi was hit without even realizing it.

"Make you disobedient, make you insist on coming down." Shi Shaojian was in a very happy mood, gloating secretly, not worried about Jing Yunzi's comfort at all. It will be fine.

Gaining wisdom by eating a ditch, Jing Yunzi sacrificed the God-binding silk immediately, and cast a puzzled look at Shi Shaojian.

Shi Shaojian shook his head, his eyes suddenly focused, staring straight at a aquatic plant, a big fish slowly came out.

This is a pink catfish with dark spots on its back. There are six pairs of whiskers at the corners of its mouth. It looks very cute with its strange facial features.But Shi Shaojian didn't think it was cute at all, because it was too huge and completely different from ordinary catfish.

The body is more than two meters long, long, thick, and round.On the back, a flash of light connects the head and the tail, flashing and continuing to discharge.

"Electric catfish?" Shi Shaojian quickly recognized this guy who can discharge electricity, "Good guy, it lives in the deep sea, it is so big, it must have absorbed spiritual energy and turned into a monster."

Shi Shaojian's eyes lit up, "The grilled fish demon should taste good, that's all right, it's just you."

He took out the diamond bracelet and threw it towards the electric catfish.

on!

Duang, the electric catfish who was obsessed with discharging was knocked unconscious by the diamond bracelet, and his belly turned upside down. He probably didn't understand what was going on before he fainted.

Shi Shaojian made a tactic with both hands, and the diamond bracelet quickly grew bigger, trapping the electric catfish's round, fleshy body and floating towards it.

He pushed Jingyunzi once, Jingyunzi nodded, turned around and swam towards the coast.At this moment, the two of them shook their heads, and the feeling of being over-charged reappeared. When they turned their heads to look, their scalps suddenly became numb.

"Run!"

One, two, three... One after another, the electric catfish emerged from the aquatic plants, and the electric lights on their backs flickered, like stars dotted in the dark sea water, which was particularly conspicuous.

The sawfish shoal they encountered not long ago left a deep impression on them, and the two looked anxious and ran for their lives with all their strength.

Crashing, Shi Shaojian and Jing Yunzi broke out of the water, struggled to climb up to the shore, lay on the ground and twitched, hundreds of electric catfish discharged at the same time, the power was strong, the feeling was so sour.

Shi Shaojian tilted his head, looked at Jing Yunzi lying beside him and laughed.

"why are you laughing?"

"Laugh at you."

"Shi Shaojian..."

"You don't know how embarrassed you are at the bottom of the sea..."

"To shut up."

"No, I can't help it."

Jing Yunzi glared at him resentfully, looked at the alive and kicking catfish caught by the diamond bracelet, and showed a hint of a smile, "Finally, the effort was not in vain, can this thing be eaten?"

"Of course it can be eaten, it must be able to eat." Shi Shaojian stood up, dragged the electric catfish away, "I'll clean it up, you get some black wood to make a fire, we'll have grilled fish tonight."

"Ah."

……

On the dimly lit shore of the Black Sea, the bonfire was burning quietly, and the fire light made Shi Shaojian and Jing Yunzi's faces blush.

Shi Shaojian held up a piece of grilled fish and said to Jing Yunzi: "Master, why don't you try it first."

Although Jing Yunzi was hungry, he did not lose his vigilance, and said with a smile, "Your nephew has worked hard, you should eat first."

"You are an elder..."

"The elders should let the younger generation..."

The corner of Shi Shaojian's mouth twitched, "I didn't lie to you, it's really edible."

"I watch you eat."

"Well, it seems that we have the same mind, and neither of us is willing to take it first, so let's find a dead ghost to help us test the poison."

As he said that, Shi Shaojian released the Evil Baby and enthusiastically served him hot grilled fish. The Evil Baby had already seen through Shi Shaojian's true nature, unmoved, and looked at him vigilantly.

"Eat."

Shi Shaojian put the grilled fish next to the evil baby, took a stick made of black wood, pierced a piece of fish, and set it on the fire to roast.

Under normal circumstances, Gui couldn't eat anything. The clothes they wore and the paper money they used were all burned by relatives and friends.Although it can't pass the mouth, it is still possible to smell the taste.

The evil baby peeked at Shi Shaojian a few times, unable to resist the temptation of food, he took a deep breath.Shi Shaojian and Jing Yunzi suddenly smiled imperceptibly.

With his worries gone, Jing Yunzi let go of his reserve, imitating Shi Shaojian, piercing the fish with a wooden stick and roasting it in the fire.

She is really roasted in the fire.

Shi Shaojian couldn't help but said: "You can't roast like this, the flame temperature is too high, it's easy to burn if you put it directly in the oven."

"Where should I bake it?"

"I'll teach you a method. Put your hands outside the flame and count to 123. The place where your hands are hot is the best grilling position."

"That's it." Jing Yunzi stretched out his hand to try, and found the "best position" that Shi Shaojian said, "It's too slow to bake like this."

"If you want to eat delicious food, you have to be patient. Have you ever baked something by yourself before?"

"No." Jing Yunzi shook his head, "There is a canteen on Maoshan Mountain, so you don't need to do it yourself."

"You are the master of the hall, and you have no apprentices. Don't you cook by yourself when you are alone?"

Jing Yunzi looked at Shi Shaojian strangely: "Don't you know there is a place called a restaurant? What can't you eat if you have money?"

Shi Shaojian clicked his tongue, "As expected of Fairy Jingyun, she doesn't eat the fireworks of the world, and doesn't touch the spring water with her five hands. She has style."

"It's weird, I'm a monk, it's enough to catch ghosts and subdue demons, why do you want to learn how to cook and bake things? You talk about me like you can cook by yourself."

Shi Shaojian smiled and said, "I really know it."

"Which time is it not Ren Tingting who cooks for you, and you don't blush when you lie."

"Tingting's cooking skills are better than mine. Of course I won't embarrass myself in front of her. Before I met Tingting, when I was alone..."

"What happened when you were alone, keep talking."

Shi Shaojian glanced at her, didn't continue talking, and handed her the grilled fish, "It's cooked, let's eat."

"I bake it myself..."

Young Master Shi stuffed it hard for her, Jing Yunzi hesitated slightly, picked it up and took a small bite, "It's tasteless."

"No salt and no condiments, of course it's tasteless, so let's just eat it."

"sweet."

Shi Shaojian was speechless, "Then you just said it was tasteless?"

"Fish is sweet."

"I'll try it."

After eating the grilled fish, Shi Shaojian used the power of gold to condense a small pot, boiled a pot of fish soup and drank it deliciously. There was no salt or seasoning. The fish was delicious and not bad.

After eating and drinking enough, the two put out the bonfire, got up and went back to the room to rest.Jing Yunzi used charcoal to draw a horizontal line on the wooden board beside the door, and pushed the door open to enter.

Lying on the wooden bed, Shi Shaojian lost all sleepiness, knocked on the wooden board and said, "Uncle, are you asleep?"

"Sleep."

"You still talk when you're asleep?"

"daydream."

"Dream about me?"

"I dreamed about it. In the dream, many women came to seek revenge from me."

Shi Shaojian stopped talking, she chatted to death.

Jing Yunzi did it on purpose, she didn't want to talk to Shi Shaojian, she always felt upset these days, especially at night.The board was too thin, and as soon as I closed my eyes, I could hear the even breathing of Shi Shaojian next door, as if he was lying next to me, which felt weird.

Shi Shaojian didn't put so much thought into her, and practice could not eliminate mental fatigue, which would wear down monks if fatigue accumulated, so Shi Shaojian's work and rest time was the same as usual, and he didn't give up rest because of the difference between day and night in the Tomb of Hanba.

On the second day, he went out to practice in high spirits, and then refined the Yanrong Spiritual Fruit to enhance his mana, and his cultivation level improved steadily.

He didn't notice at all that there were two pairs of eyes in the Blackwood Forest at some point.

Deacon Han and Wan Wan hid in the darkness, staring at Shi Shaojian and Jing Yunzi's every move, their faces full of confusion.

"No, it's been seven days. The floral scent of the poisonous rope umbrella should have taken effect. Why are there nothing wrong with them?"

Deacon Han's face was gloomy and he remained silent.

Wan Wan said in a low voice: "Just don't do anything and keep going..."

"They have a magic weapon to protect them. We don't know much about it. Once they make a move, it will be life and death. There is no room for maneuver." Deacon Han paused, and said unwillingly: "If it weren't for the loss of a large number of Gu insects in the corpse cave, I have a hundred This method makes them lose their power to resist silently."

"What's the use of saying this." Wan Wan muttered irritably, and subconsciously scratched the back of his hand, leaving five clear claw marks, but he didn't seem to feel any pain.

"Let them live a little longer, go."

Deacon Han turned and left, his robe was lifted, revealing a bloody arm covered in claw marks.

……

As time passed day by day, Jing Yunzi wrote thirty "positive" characters on the wooden board, which meant that it had been 30 days since they escaped from danger at the bottom of the sea.

Shi Shaojian opened his eyes, frowning tightly, and said to himself: "The four Yanrong spiritual fruits have pushed the cultivation to the peak of the mage realm, but it can't go any further."

He hit a bottleneck.

Uncle Jiu and Shi Jian have been stuck in this special realm for many years, and finally broke through the bottleneck with profound accumulation, condensing Dao Dan to advance to the Taoist realm.

"The Yanrong Spiritual Fruit is useless, and the metamorphosis circle... only has one material, and it's not time to use it yet."

"The next thing is to practice hard and slowly accumulate mana. First, set a small goal to cultivate the emptiness."

With a creak, the door opened, and Shi Shaojian walked out.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Jing Yunzi, who was sitting by the fire wiping his hair, asked without looking back, "Is the training over?"

"Well, let me help you."

Shi Shaojian took the cloth towel naturally, and helped Jing Yunzi wipe her wet hair like Ren Tingting did.

Jing Yunzi froze and exclaimed, "What are you doing?"

"What a fuss, I used to help Tingting wipe it."

"I'm not Ren Tingting."

Shi Shaojian froze for a moment, with an embarrassed expression on his face, and returned the cloth towel to her.Jing Yunzi stared at him and said, "Shi Shaojian, after getting along for a month, I can't see through you more and more."

"You don't have to see through me, and I don't want to deliberately understand you. It's good to get along like this now. When we leave the Tomb of Hanba, we will become the same as before."

"can you?"

"Isn't it?"

Jing Yunzi was silent for a moment, then quietly said: "Shi Shaojian, be a good person."

"Be good and die early."

"you……"

"Stop talking about this, let's fight."

Jing Yunzi continued to rub her hair, "No."

"Are you afraid of losing to me?"

Hearing this, Jing Yunzi dropped the cloth towel and rushed towards Shi Shaojian.

The disastrous defeat a few days ago was still fresh in her memory. She was pushed against the wall of the wooden house by Shi Shaojian and couldn't move.
