Mortal Mirror

In such a critical situation, Li Muzhen didn't think much and flashed to Qinglian's side.

At that moment, countless gazes converged on him, and several angry voices rang out, followed by several streaks of light flashing towards him.

There were humans and other races, and the bat demon let out an extremely angry roar.

Li Muzhen ignored them all, raised his sword, and infinite sword light flickered on the blade. He slashed out a sword, and the world was filled with white light, making it impossible for anyone to look directly ahead.

After the light dissipated, Li Muzhen's figure was gone, and a lotus seed had also disappeared without a trace.

"Despicable, breaking promises," a tall man from another race reprimanded loudly.

Chen Qingping snorted and said, "The winner is king. Whoever gets it owns it."

The human race, not caring about the demons anymore, all took action and snatched at the Green Lotus. The already chaotic cave became even more chaotic.

Li Muzhen didn't care about any of this. At this moment, he was already in another cave.

He looked at the lotus seed in his hand, but he wasn't too happy because he found that this lotus seed didn't seem to have anything particularly magical about it, and he didn't know how to use it.

He could only put it away for now and use it later. In his haste, he had taken a wrong turn, and now in front of him was a dark underground river, and he didn't know where it led.

In the starry sky, Li Ergou and Zhu Zhu walked for a long, long time, and just when they were about to collapse, a gate of light appeared in front of them.

Li Ergou and Zhu Zhu were extremely happy. Without much thought, they held hands and plunged into it.

When Li Ergou saw the outside world again, his face was filled with horror. Why? Zhu Zhu was gone. He had clearly come out with Zhu Zhu.

But when they came out, a strange force pulled them apart, so now, Zhu Zhu was missing, and he didn't know where that force had taken her. How could he not be worried?

Looking in front of him, it turned out to be a huge cave.

In front of the cave was a cliff, and in front of the cliff, there was a person and a stone tablet. That person was looking directly at Li Ergou. This person was none other than Li Muzhen.

Returning to the previous time, Li Muzhen looked at the dark river in front of him and felt a burst of panic. Only then did he remember one thing: he had forgotten to bring Yue Linglong out.

But now he didn't dare to go back and look for her, because that would not only put himself in danger, but it wouldn't be good for Yue Linglong either.

It was dark in front of him, and he wanted to fly away, but this dark river and mountain cave were strange. There was a special force pressing down, making it impossible to fly.

Helpless, he could only step on the water. What surprised him even more was that this water was even stranger. This water was quite heavy, and nothing could float on it. Ordinary wood would sink into the water.

Seeing this scene, Li Muzhen thought to himself that this was terrible. Could it be that he had to swim across? In such water, he didn't know if there would be any powerful monsters.

Just as he was thinking, a dilapidated wooden boat floated from the darkness.

"Could it be a ghost!" he said with some doubt.

In a blink of an eye, the small wooden boat floated to the shore. It could be seen that the wooden boat was not big, only about ten feet long. There was only one mast on it, and on the mast, there was a small orange-yellow lamp.

The light was weak, barely illuminating the boat.

The boat was dilapidated and full of scars. Although Li Muzhen felt that the boat was strange, when he looked around, there was nothing else to ride on.

He didn't know what kind of wood this boat was made of that it wouldn't sink in the water. In any case, Li Muzhen stepped onto the boat.

As the saying goes, a skilled artist is bold. Li Muzhen had a pure heart and was not afraid.

As soon as he stepped onto the boat, the boat moved and floated forward. In the darkness, Li Muzhen could hear constant cracking and creepy chewing sounds coming from the river, and he didn't know what kind of creatures were making the sounds.

The river became darker and darker, and he couldn't see what was in the water at all. Li Muzhen became fully alert, afraid that something would suddenly jump out of the water.

Just as he was watching nervously, an old man appeared at the bow of the boat at some point.

The old man was wearing a bamboo hat and holding a fishing rod. The strangest thing was that the fishing rod had a fishing line without a hook.

Li Muzhen's heart moved slightly, and he was naturally very surprised. After all, at the beginning, there was no one on this boat. Who was this old man? He had clearly just appeared there, but why did it seem like he had always been there?

Strange, really strange.

He felt strange in his heart, but he was not afraid. After all, with his cultivation, ordinary ghosts could not do anything to him.

Even so, he couldn't help but say to the old man, "Are you a human or a ghost? What do you want to do?"

The old man did not look back, but said, "What if I am a human? What if I am a ghost? Some people, although they are human, kill people like flies and do all kinds of evil. They have the heart that only demons have. Do you think they are human or demons?

Some ghosts, although they are ghosts, have the heart of a bodhisattva. So, what if they are ghosts? What if they are humans? What can monsters and demons do?"

If it were someone else, they would definitely be confused by this old guy and not know what he was talking about.

Li Muzhen was not moved. He snorted and said, "You said so much, what do you want to tell me? I don't deny that there are bad people and good ghosts, but everything in the world is like that.

Good and evil are just a wisp of karma under the Dao of Heaven.

It's just that you didn't answer my question. Who are you?"

"Hahaha, little friend, I have said so much, but you still don't understand. Who I am is not important, why I am here is not important. What is important is that I have no ill intentions towards you. Isn't that enough?"

Li Muzhen could see that this old man didn't want to reveal his identity. So be it. He had no interest in knowing the other person's background. As long as this person had no intention of harming him, that was enough.

He thought for a while and said, "Forget it, do as you please. I'm just wondering why you are doing this useless work. If you want to fish, then fish. Why do you have to use a fishing line without a hook?

Without a hook, how can you catch fish?"

"Fishing, hehe, then you may have misunderstood. I'm not fishing for fish, but for dragons."

"Dragon!" Li Muzhen's eyes were filled with disbelief.

"Boy, what's so surprising? Fish can be caught, why can't dragons be caught? If you don't believe me, you can look under the water. Are there any dragons?"

Li Muzhen was moved by what he said. In the end, it was curiosity that was at play. He couldn't help but come to the bow of the boat and look under the water.

In the dark water, ripples suddenly appeared. Then he saw that there were indeed two small dragons in the ripples.

The two dragons, one golden and one emerald green, were not big, only about a foot long.

Seeing the small dragons, Li Muzhen couldn't help but exclaim, "Why are these dragons so small? Are they real dragons?"

The old man smiled indifferently and said, "They are dragons, of course they are dragons."

Li Muzhen saw that the two dragons kept circling around the fishing line and was even more strange. "If they are dragons, why are they attracted to your fishing line without any bait or hooks?"
