Male protagonist, you are targeting the wrong person

The group traveled for several days before arriving at Shuiyue Ze. The specific location of Shuiyue Ze was in a deep mountain somewhere north of Sunset Forest and east of Haotian Sect. It was named Shuiyue Ze because there was a deep lake in the mountain that looked like water and moon.

Several people followed the red maple trees along the way, and then they saw Shuiyueze hidden in the red maple forest that was in full bloom.

Like a hermit hiding in the mountains and unwilling to contact the world, Shuiyue Ze hides quietly in the maple forest, making no one aware of its existence.

The water in the lake is clear, but there is not a single fish in it. There is also a house in the center of Shuiyue Lake.

From the outside, it looked like an ordinary four-courtyard house. The main door made of tall trees was tightly closed, as if no visitors were welcome. However, the waves of Shuiyue Lake were extremely gentle, as if waiting for someone to return.

Yan Wenmo was not in the mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery. These past few days, she had been forced to sleep in the open air with Jiang Wenbai and the others. Not only did she not have enough food, she also had no way to get a good rest. How could she have the energy to appreciate the beautiful scenery?

But it was Xuanyuan Jing's first time to come into contact with the world outside of the Haotian Sect, so her expression was extremely excited, even a little too happy.

This time when she went down the mountain, she saw the morning glow and evening stars of the Sunset Forest, the afterglow of the sunset of Jiuyang Lake, and the fireworks of life in the town alleys. Now, seeing the beautiful scenery of Shuiyue Lake that was like a painting, she couldn't help but immerse herself in this beauty. And obviously, she was not the only one immersed in this beautiful painting.

With a resentful look on her face, Yan Wenmo took out a dry steamed bun and started to eat it. Why did she eat a steamed bun? ! And it was a dry steamed bun? !

That was because Jiang Wenbai, this scumbag, in order to travel quickly, just bought some steamed buns to fill her stomach. Along the way, he only took a break once, bought a bunch of steamed buns, and then continued to travel day and night!

Damn, this kind of treatment would make capitalists feel ashamed and say in shock, "Brother, I really admire you. You are so ruthless, aren't you afraid that your employees will run away?!"

Jiang Wenbai was indeed not afraid. After all, Yan Wenmo was his handyman, but who could be a handyman for life? !

Anyway, Yan Wenmo has decided that she will resign as soon as she returns to the Haotian Sect. Anyone who wants to do this menial job can do it, but she will never do it again.

After all, after these few days of experience, she finally understood. Jiang Wenbai never treated her as a human being. Which young master would dare to enslave a servant like her? ! Which young master would treat his superior like Jiang Wenbai? ! This is a complete scumbag!

Yan Wenmo complained in her heart while gnawing on a dry steamed bun with resentment. Maybe she felt it was really not tasty, so she threw the bun casually and it fell into the water of the Shuiyue Lake.

"puff"

The water in Shuiyue Lake made a sound. Yan Wenmo curled his lips when he heard the sound, then turned around and left without hesitation.

She knew the plot of Shuiyue Ze. At the bottom of this seemingly clear lake, there was a nine-headed snake monster, an ancient snake monster named Xiangliu.

In the Classic of Mountains and Seas, Xiangliu was a subordinate of Gonggong, the god of water. It was rumored that he was killed by Dayu because he obstructed Dayu's efforts to control floods.

But in fact, Dayu did not kill Xiangliu, but sealed him in Shuiyue Lake, letting him guard the remains of the ancient demon god sealed under the mansion here.

According to the book, the remains of the ancient demon god are the bones transformed from the corpse of the demon god Chi You. After Chi You was defeated in the battle with Huang Di, Huang Di ordered his men to divide his corpse into six parts and seal them in six places to prevent Chi You's soul from causing chaos in the world. He did not want Chi You to be resurrected again.

But a thousand years ago, Chiyou's soul tempted Gonggong, the water god, to submerge the world with a flood. Huangdi was concerned about the people, so he sent Gun, the father of Dayu and a capable minister at the time, to control the flood.

Although Gun was good at controlling floods, he failed to adapt to local conditions and instead used blocking methods, causing the water level to rise higher and higher. Finally, the dam was soaked in flood water for a long time, resulting in flood leakage, which caused even greater losses.

In the end, Gun failed to control the flood and was executed by Huangdi. Huangdi asked Gun's son Dayu to continue his father's work, which was to continue to control the flood.

Not only did Dayu divert the flood into the sea according to local conditions, he also indirectly discovered the conspiracy of Gonggong and Chiyou, which was to let Gonggong use floods to cause chaos and attract everyone's attention, while Chiyou took the opportunity to escape and then bring disaster to the world.

In order to prevent Chiyou from causing chaos again, Dayu sealed Gonggong's subordinate Xiangliu in the Shuiyue Lake, just to prevent Chiyou from appearing again and inducing the world and even the monks to lift the seal and bring disaster to the world.

But now, in order to make Chi You reappear in the world, the Demon Lord asked the heroine Chu Yanhong to try every means to unlock the seals of the six demon remains, and then collect the demon remains, summon the soul of the ancient demon Chi You, let him return to the world, and start another battle between immortals and demons.

It's a pity that despite all his calculations, he didn't expect that the heroine Chu Yanhong would fall in love with the hero, nor did he expect that the last piece of the ancient demon god's bones would be hidden in the demon clan's forbidden area, and he didn't guess that the last piece of the ancient demon god's bones that Chu Yanhong gave him was fake.

Therefore, at the beginning, his idea of ​​summoning the ancient demon god Chi You to return to the world was just wishful thinking. Since it was just wishful thinking, it was naturally impossible to achieve.

Of course, these have nothing to do with her. After all, she is determined to obtain the remains of the ancient demon god in Shuiyue Lake. Although Shuiyue Lake is guarded by Xiangliu, she is familiar with the plot and can naturally find a solution.

She remembered that not only was Xiangliu sealed at the bottom of the Shuiyue Lake, but Dayu also set up an extremely strange formation. This formation could detect any species that wanted to pass through this place in the air or under the water of Shuiyue Lake. Once discovered, the formation would be triggered, awakening the sealed Xiangliu, and then Xiangliu would appear to kill any creature that dared to pass by in the air or under the water.

Therefore, in order to reach the building in the center of the lake, a boat is necessary, and the boat... Subconsciously looking towards the thatched cottage in the north, Yan Wenmo's eyes suddenly lit up.

She happily headed straight for the hut, ignoring the few people who were still immersed in the beautiful scenery.

After walking for about an incense stick of time, Yan Wenmo finally arrived in front of the thatched cottage, and then he saw an old man with white hair and beard sitting in a small boat fishing. Yan Wenmo was subconsciously stunned when he saw this, and then touched his nose guiltily, thinking that this was not scientific.

She remembered that in the original text, the old man was fishing next to a small boat, but now he was fishing on the small boat. She had originally planned to kidnap the old man and have someone rob the boat, but now it seems that this is not possible.

The old man seemed to see through her thoughts, snorted coldly, and said in a rather arrogant tone:

"If you want a boat, you have to tell me a story first. Otherwise, I will smash the boat to pieces instead of giving it to you."

After saying that, he glared at Yan Wenmo fiercely. Yan Wenmo was speechless, but still pretended to be well-behaved and said in a flattering way:

"Okay, okay, you have your reasons. What story do you want to hear? I'll tell you."

The old man looked at Yan Wenmo with suspicion, obviously not trusting her. Seeing this, Yan Wenmo couldn't help but rolled her eyes and said helplessly:

"What else can we do if you're sitting on the boat?!"

When the old man heard her say this, he tilted his head proudly, and then said with noble and cold grace:

"Come, tell me some love stories that I like to hear. If you make me happy, I will give you a boat."

Yan Wenmo really didn't expect him to say such a thing, so she couldn't help but frown. She wanted to complain, but finally decided to shut up. You look so noble and cold, but you actually like romance novels. Are you a love-brained person? !

But for the sake of her mission, she had to be patient and start telling stories, from the Legend of the White Snake to Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, from Romeo and Juliet to the Seven Fairies and Dong Yong.

But the old man was not satisfied with these myths and legends. Helplessly, Yan Wenmo had to tell the story of a melodramatic novel he had read, and then...it actually worked.
