Chapter 202: The Bottom of Dongting Lake
The demon was completely clueless - and couldn't even think of any reasonable reason...... How did things get the way they are?!
What went wrong?!
But there was only two breaths left for him to think. Kungoko's spirit clone was finally pulled back—no, it should be said that it was snatched back.
Before, I only thought that Dongting Jun's "Smoke Wave Dongting Diagram" had limited ability - it would take a lot of effort for the soul clone of Lana Kunwuzi to come back. But just after Dongting Jun pulled Li Yunxin into the water, the doppelganger of the Xuanjing Taoist priest was pulled from the sky to the ground almost instantly......
That Dong Tingjun had deliberately left his hand and delayed time before!
However...... Why would he do that?!
-- Jairus didn't understand it at all.
The Taoist priest's spirit doppelganger fell to the ground, looked at the cave in the distance, and then looked at Jianxi, and sneered: "Okay, good." If you want to go down the poor road, you have to go down the poor road. Since the old thing doesn't want to help you, then the poor way will fulfill you!"
Jairus was silent for a while, and said hatefully: "It's up to you?" Take my palm!"
As soon as the words fell......
The Great Demon of the Xuan Realm rose to the sky - in other words, he fled!
There are two flowers - one for each flower.
said that the Taoist priests and demons in the Xuan Realm over there chased and fled all the way, but on this side, Li Yunxin was pulled into the lake by Dongting Jun.
It was the first time he had been in the water since he came into the world - he was immersed in the water himself.
Although there is nothing to "dispel the water" and "dispel the water beads", it is not afraid of getting the clothes wet. After all, he is also a yin god - he can usually hide his body and pass through the wall, and at this time, he can hide into the water.
He has recovered his human body. But his face turned blue, his mouth pursed, and he did not say a word.
When ordinary people see him like this, they will probably say that they are weak and afraid. But Dong Tingjun doesn't see it that way. In fact, after entering the water, he let go, and went straight to the bottom of the lake in silence.
Li Yunxin didn't hesitate at all, still blushing and followed.
It's not a nice feeling. The deep waters of the lake are not the clear waters of white sand beaches with bright sun. And it's still night. A few meters into the water, the moonlight was gone, and the body seemed to be wrapped in the deepest darkness. Beneath him was a darker darkness, and he didn't know what was hidden, and he didn't know how deep it was.
The only light was the green light on Dong Tingjun and himself.
There were almost no fish in the water, but there was a layer of dead fish floating on the surface of the water - Kun Wuzi's method of overturning the cave court was also a dead man.
In this way, I went all the way down and dived for a full breath.
This Dongting Jun slowed down and turned his head to look at Li Yunxin.
He was now a dharma body, and it looked like a tall and fat person who had given birth to the head of a carp.
"So you're the one who first saw me. Dong Tingjun's wide mouth opened and closed, and his voice was a little distorted in the water, mixed with a rumbling background sound from somewhere in the lake, "At the beginning, the shrimp soldiers under this monarch's seat pretended to be boatmen and drove you and the three people of Egret Town to Junshan. Then he reported to me, "You seem to be afraid of water." ”
"After that, Benjun threw you and Congyunzi down the mountain, and you also found a small boat to cross the lake. ”
"Later, my daughter took you to see Ling Kong Zi Muyun in a white jade boat, and according to her, you also looked nervous and afraid...... It's exactly what you look like now. So, are you afraid of water? You are already a yin god and a dragon, why are you afraid?"
Dong Tingjun's tone was calm, as if he was chatting with a passer-by who met by chance. But Li Yunxin knew that he had almost fallen into his hands right now—this cave court had been managed by him for three thousand years, and it was almost equivalent to the body of this great demon.
However, such a situation can be counted as either "forced to do so" or "premeditated". Dongting was on the side of the couch, and he had long wanted to come and find out—today was a good opportunity...... bar.
"I'm afraid of water. Otherwise, it wouldn't be what it looks like now. Li Yunxin waited for a while before speaking, "As for why you are afraid...... It's because I was drowned. It was a terrible experience, and I still can't forget it, and I don't want to forget it. Dragons who are afraid of water, I think I myself am the first. ”
"You are both Li Yunxin, a dragon, and a ...... Kiss. Dong Tingjun was silent for a while, and said in a low voice, "So, what about the original kiss?"
"Dead. ”
"Killed by you?"
"I had no choice but to do so. ”
"Tell me about it. Dong Tingjun's speed slowed down a bit. It was already completely dark, but under the lake, in the distance, there was a little light. It was a faint white light, as if a glowing white moss had grown at the bottom of the lake. But Li Yunxin knew that the branches that looked small now were not really small - because they were too far away.
This Dongting Lake, at least at this moment, is about a kilometer deep!
And in his original world...... The water depth in the middle section of a large river called the "Yangtze River" and the navigable place is only a few meters. There are even places where there are only two or three meters!
This Dongting Jun was in the depths of the thousand-meter lake, and repeated again: "Tell me." Then Benjun thought about it again. ”
"Let's see if I take you to Red Flower City, or take your body to Red Flower City. ”
Li Yunxin let out a sigh slowly, and a series of tiny bubbles grew in his mouth, which staggered upward.
Then he smiled: "I killed your son, and you haven't killed me until now to avenge your son, haven't you already made a decision?"
When these words came out, Dong Tingjun stopped suddenly. His eyes glowed horribly blue in the lake, like two dazzling searchlights. His robes studded with red scales also fluttered in the water, making it look like he was staging a drama - but a horrific and bloody drama - and the next moment he would pounce and tear the man in front of him to shreds!
A terrible gasp came from his mouth, which could be heard even in the depths of the lake: "You...... Know this?!"
"The kiss is the head of a dragon. The first time I saw you, I said that the ninth prince had been thinking about you before he died, and you cried. Li Yunxin sighed, "You are not his father, are you still his brother?" ”
"How can this ......?"
Li Yunxin floated in the water and looked at Dong Tingjun: "Yes." The people of this world, the demons, have a hard time associating the demons that the carp has turned into with Ryuko's father. But I happen to know something else. In fact, it doesn't even count as reasoning. Maybe in a certain world, something is far-fetched legend. But here, it becomes a fact. If I know the legends of a certain world, I will know the facts of this world. Sounds hard to understand but ......"
Li Yunxin sighed again: "I'm sorry to kill your son." ”
"We were friends at the time - at least he thought. The first time I saw him—"
Li Yunxin slowly told the story of him and the Ninth Prince under the surface of the Dongting water of thousands of feet. Skip some things, process some things. No judgment, only "facts".
Dong Tingjun's mood fluctuated because of many things. also knew that Li Yunxin in front of him was in the cave court, and he couldn't get out without his promise - he was already on the chopping block. That's why he had the patience to figure everything out.
So it's hard to say...... When he listened to Li Yunxin's account of those "facts," did he have enough vigilance?
It's like a middle-aged man in his apartment with a sharp knife in his hand, listening to a child talk about things, whether he is vigilant enough.
So I didn't realize that Li Yunxin used some skills when speaking.
In fact, these techniques have been used before.
Jianwei thought that Li Yunxin was talking to herself when she was by the lake, but in fact, every word and every look of Li Yunxin was made for Dongtingjun to see.
Just to ......
Plant in him a seed of grief and weakness that is strong enough. This kind of son will quickly take root and break the heart of an old father who has lost his son. Thus the current situation -
Dong Tingjun forcibly suppressed the complex emotions in his heart, and listened to Li Yunxin say a lot of words.
He may not be patient, but he must be patient. Because both he and Li Yunxin's hints before told him that you must find out the cause of your son's death.
- Your son is actually ...... I'm silently thinking about you!
What Li Yunxin wants is the current situation. Give him enough time and a calm enough environment to speak to a three-thousand-year-old demon who is not calm. For him, words are even more powerful than Taoism - as long as he is given the opportunity.
He repeats certain words and phrases, reinforcing certain emotions. And the deep waters of this cave are both secluded and dark...... It was the best hypnotic environment for him. He didn't know how much his best technique would work on these 3,000-year-old non-human demons, but he believed that it would not be in vain.
Dong Tingjun thought that this bottomless water was his domain. But it is not clear that he also broke into Li Yunxin's domain because of this environment.
From the moment he suspected that Kiss was the son of Dongting Jun, Li Yunxin was looking forward to such a favorable time and place today, and now he has finally come to this point.
For half an hour, he used every skill he could use.
Eventually, he sighed.
“...... That's where it is. ”
He stopped talking. There was still a low background sound in the lake -- it was the sound of the undercurrent in the lake.
Dong Tingjun was silent for a long time before he said, "If I ask you how you became a kiss, you won't answer me." ”
Li Yunxin smiled helplessly: "I'm the one who took it." ”
Dongtingjun didn't hear this sentence as a matter of course. He was silent for a while, and then said, "Come with Benjun." ”
Then dive to the bottom of the lake.
Li Yunxin breathed a sigh of relief, a bubble appeared around him, and he also went with him.
This time it's a little faster.
After another quarter of an hour, what he had seen at the bottom of the lake looked like white moss quickly grew in size—and it became too big.
When she first saw the red lady getting married, she said that she lived in "White Forest, Red Flower City". At that time, I thought that this white forest was some kind of white algae or aquatic weeds deep at the bottom of the lake. Now that he has seen it with his own eyes, he knows that it is the real "woods".
Just like the towering giant trees on land, every "tree" in this "white forest" is white. Most of them have symmetrical "branches" on the left and right, and there may be pale algae growing on the branches. The height is 100 meters, and the shortest is tens of meters.
When they got closer to this "white forest", Li Yunxin felt its size—it could not be seen at a glance, like a dense and wide forest on the land. He estimated that in this "white forest", such "trees" ...... There are thousands of them, to say the least.
But in reality, trees are not trees.
That's the skeleton -- most of it is the backbone.
Most of them belong to fish, and a few belong to terrestrial animals. Li Yunxin had seen Dongtingjun's unimaginably huge real body, but he was still shocked after seeing these backbones—so many backbones were stuck straight at the bottom of the lake......
This is a white forest.
"It's all the defeated generals under Benjun. Dong Tingjun stopped on a thick "branch". This bone tree is more than 100 meters tall, not the shortest, but it is by no means tall. The two of them were human beings, and now they stood on a bone branching out of this backbone, as if they were standing on a wide bridge—it was hard to imagine what the owner of this skeleton must have been like in his lifetime.
"There are 4,667 trees in this white forest, all of which are demons who have attained the Tao. Dong Tingjun stretched out his hand and pointed to the highest backbone, "This is Tengjiao." This thing's cultivation before his death was the highest, and it was already in the Xuan Realm. It took Benjun more than a month to kill it. ”
He also pointed to another shorter skeleton: "This is the Panjiao." He was cunning, but he was beautiful—and my daughter was almost smitten by him. Benjun also beheaded him, but now this skeleton still looks beautiful. ”
Li Yunxin listened silently, and Dong Tingjun pointed to those skeletons and said like a few treasures. After talking dozens of times, he turned to look at him and said, "It is the most unsuccessful of these demons, and his cultivation is comparable to yours." ”
"This world ...... The Great Demon of the Known Realm...... It's only hundreds. Li Yunxin took a deep breath, but only sucked into the lake, "How can there be so many high-level demons?"
However, this is not the real focus of his attention. Rather—
"You say...... Jiao. He looked at Dong Tingjun, "The dozens you just said are all Jiao." I see that the dozens you pointed out and the thousands of them all look much the same. You mean...... These thousands, all of them are bones?"
Dongting-kun smiled calmly: "Yes." ”
Li Yunxin suddenly found that he couldn't see through him. It wasn't long ago that he thought his words had worked on the other and was waiting to reap the fruits of his victory. But at this moment, he felt as if things were starting to get out of his control.
For the first time, he felt a sense of uncertainty.
He let out a soft breath: "How can there be so many. How did you kill so many. And then...... Jiao, you chose the name Jiao for them?"
Dong Tingjun did not answer immediately, but looked at Li Yunxin with a strange and complicated look, as if he wanted to see him through. Then he said, "You haven't heard this word in the world, have you?"
"I've never heard of such a thing as a 'dragon' in this world, have I?"
"That's it. Dong Tingjun laughed, "Because there is no word 'Jiao' in the world—you write it out and ask the most knowledgeable bachelor, and you won't recognize it." ”
"But you're just interested in it—Li Yunxin, where have you heard this word?"
The atmosphere seemed to become delicate. Li Yunxin looked at Dong Tingjun and realized that he had underestimated him again.
When I first saw him, I thought he was a demon who looked like a human but was a little sluggish. Later, I realized that he was not as dull as he seemed, but on the contrary, he was also a scheming person. He thought that a demon with both strength and strategy was amazing, and even this time he really regarded him as an opponent and tried to control everything with all his might, but-
Now he realizes that he seems to have underestimated him for the third time.
He wouldn't admit that Dong Ting-kun was better than himself. But at least I know that the other party is not under me.
He looked at the three-thousand-year-old demon in front of him: "How did Dongting Jun come up with this word in a flash of inspiration?"
"Make a word?" Dong Tingjun laughed, "It's not Ben Jun who made this word." It was another person who said to Ben Jun that the one who looks like a dragon but has no horns is Jiao. When you see them, kill them all. What do you think Benjun has been doing in Dongting for 2,000 years?"
"As for where these Jiao came from, and who said that word to Benjun...... Li Yunxin, this is also the reason why Benjun will not kill you. ”
Dong Tingjun stopped laughing. His face became serious, like a god in deep water. He opened his mouth and sighed first, and said, "You just used some means against this monarch. Although I don't understand or see through, I know that you are demagoguery. In fact, it cannot be said that demagogy should be a more clever method. ”
"You killed Benjun's son, and you want to rely on this method to make Benjun let you go, it's really bold. Unless...... If you hadn't guessed the wrong thing, and you had gone in the wrong direction from the beginning, you might have been able to do it by now. ”
"You are now a kiss, and the son of this prince was a kiss before. You think that Benjun may love his son, and when he sees the 'kiss', there is always some expectation in his heart. If you know that you can't find the dead, maybe you won't be killed, and you will be compensated. Ahh ”
Benjun thought the same thing by the lake, but ...... After listening to your words, I almost fell for it. So far, I'm just curious -- what kind of trick is this? Come to think of it, it doesn't look like a supernatural power, and it doesn't look like a Taoist. ”
At this time, Li Yunxin could finally be sure that everything he had done had been completely seen through.
Next, will you be able to survive......
It's probably really just a matter of luck.
But he didn't panic, he didn't feel afraid. Antithesis......
He felt himself excited. A feeling of excitement which he knew to be pathological, but completely uncontrollable, quickly took over his body, and made him eager to have a good confrontation with the great demon in front of him, which greatly surprised him, so that he could see—in this cave...... How many secrets are hidden!
He should have suppressed this emotion as he had done countless times before—Bai Yanjun called him a madman, and some people said he was a madman. But they don't know what they call "crazy" in their eyes......
It's already his suppressed sanity!
"It's the study of the mind. Li Yunxin finally laughed. The laughter sounded a little crazy. Because he realized that he might have touched something—something he had been trying to grasp but couldn't. It was right in front of his eyes.
This made him even more excited. (To be continued.) )
