Dragon Seal
Chapter 37 The River God and His Daughter-in-law
Unlike Gong Liangzhi who opened his eyes to see the bride, Wei Zhao was in the water as soon as he opened his eyes.He breathed smoothly in the water, half of his body turned into an aquarium, and it was difficult to get to the surface of the water.It wasn't until Gongliang blocked the river that Wei Zhao realized what he was playing. At the same time, he also realized that starting to let them intervene in this drama was not to choose the answer to avoid tragedy, but to choose the role.
Knowing the answer and thinking about it further, this mechanism also makes sense.The monks in the Tao of the Red World are all in pairs. In ancient times, the pair of monks who practiced together to transform themselves into gods and opened up a small thousand worlds came from the Tao of the Red Dust.Since this is a test designed by Zhenjun Zhuanling for his disciples and grandchildren, the mechanism is of course set up for two people, and it can only start if both people participate.He repeatedly killed to stop killing, and the role became the river god.Gongliang is kind and conservative, and he probably became someone on the shore.
The God of the River will not be able to get to the shore when the time is not up, and Gong Liangzhi will not enter the water, so they must meet up as soon as possible to complete the test. It is the easiest and quickest way to set off a huge wave to defeat the opponent in this round.Even if it would cause casualties, wouldn't there be another round?The facts were as Wei Zhao had expected, but he didn't expect that Gong Liang would be dressed like this when he showed up again.
Gong Liangzhi was wearing a fiery red wedding dress. The slightly smaller dress could not be fastened, so it could only be hung loosely on his body.This bright red dress makes his exposed skin extraordinarily fair, but unfortunately the color of his lips is still dull, Wei Zhao thought to himself, the blood stain on his lips from the last round is very suitable to put here, it is more beautiful than rouge and cinnabar How bright.I don't know if it's because the hair is tied up perfectly, or because the expression on Gongliangzhi's face is too calm and indifferent. It's obviously the almost coquettish color on the man's body, but he insists on dressing up dignifiedly.
In any case, it's delicious.
"I remember the prince of Ruiguo wears vermilion." Wei Zhao rolled his eyes on the hijab next to him, and continued to speak meanly, "The Taoist priest's whole body looks like a prince from some country was pushed out to have a kiss."
"Thank you." Gong Liang didn't even lift his eyelids, "If you say the role is suitable, so is your Excellency."
This is mocking Wei Zhao's half-aquarium skin. The dragons rule the aquarium and are the best among the monsters. Now he is given such a half-aquarium appearance, which is a great shame for any dragon vein—— It's just that Wei Zhao regarded himself as a human being for the first 19 years of his life. He really lacked the dignity of the dragon clan, so it didn't hurt to be said so.
He smiled, and continued to climb up with a tentacle holding onto the side of the boat, got into Gong Liangzhi's lower garment, and hooked the Taoist's ankle.After turning into a dragon, Wei Zhao had an extra tail, and he knew exactly what it felt like to have multiple limbs. Now that he has eight tentacles, he has adapted well.
He could feel the subtle touch from the end of the tentacles, probably the outer skin was too porcelain and the sensation was dull, so he had to use some effort to feel the tenderness of Gongliangzhi's skin.The Taoist priest was sitting on his knees on the deck, and jumped up as if he was electrocuted. Only then did Wei Zhao realize that there were small suction cups growing on his tentacles, which were caused by sucking Gongliang just now. for.He watched Gong Liangzhi's face turn crimson with embarrassment, and he couldn't control his thoughts and ran down three ways.
At the same time, Wei Zhao felt a twitch in his stomach, and the vague sense of hunger became clear after the start of this round.
"Phantom Renshui Formation, the gate of life is below." Gong Liangzhi glared at him, "If your excellency is so free, please go and look for it underwater first."
"Can't the Daoist figure it out?" Wei Zhao asked, "I can figure out the approximate position even if I don't have the array."
"I'm almost no different from ordinary people now." Gong Liangzhi shook his head and said, "I can't mobilize even a trace of true energy and spiritual consciousness."
Wei Zhao heard that he looked inside himself and found that the problem was more serious than he thought.
His own power is half-dragon and half-demon. The body of half-dragon is mainly based on the innate physical body, while the devilish energy is based on the evil in the world, following the false god way, so he didn't notice the essential change in his own power before.He was hungry and thought it was just some punishment and restriction caused by choosing a negative role.After careful investigation now, it was found that the body of the half-dragon had turned into a fleshy body of the Aquarium, with divine power circulating in his body, no matter how he looked at it, he was a river god who had attained the Dao of the Aquarium.
Wei Zhao lowered his head and saw his own face reflected in the river surface.
There is no corrosion from the evils of the world, no chaotically distributed scales, except for the webs between the gills and fingers behind the ears, at first glance it turns out to be Wei Zhao from ten years ago.
He was taken aback, and his body fell back into the water. The feeling of being driven by the river water was much more comfortable than being on the water surface.Wei Zhao swam to the surface again, his breathing became difficult after his gills left the water, like a mudskipper out of water.
"What does the Shengmen look like?" he asked.
"I don't know." Gong Liangzhi said frankly, "This big formation is not a killing formation. There should be something strange in the Shengmen as a reminder, which is different from the surroundings."
Wei Zhao nodded and plunged into the bottom of the river.
The river water is very clear, with a light blue color, and being in it seems to be swimming in a glass bottle.Wei Zhao went straight to the bottom of the water, sank tens of feet and saw the bottom of the river. There were aquatic plants and corals on the white river bed, and there was nothing special about it at a glance.
Wei Zhao landed on the river bed directly below the boat, and using this as a starting point, he began to search outwards in circles.His tentacles picked up every inch of river sand, but found nothing but a group of shrimps and crabs.When he came down just now, he saw a lot of fish schools along the way, but it was a rich river.
If it is so big, it can be considered a river.
There was no end to the east, west, north, and south of the river. Wei Zhao turned over for a while and then began to swim at full speed. After swimming for a quarter of an hour, he could not see the river bank, so he had to swim back for another quarter of an hour.He went back to the place he had planed before, thinking that God knows when he would find it after such an inch-by-inch search.Wei Zhao used the divine power of the river god to create a vortex at the bottom of the river.The river bed as far as the eye can see was suddenly stirred up, and countless aquariums fled in all directions, and the bottom of the river was muddy.Wei Zhao searched for a moment, then suddenly remembered something, and rushed to the surface of the water.
The waves on the river were choppy, and there was no foundation-building Taoist on the river that was not targeted. However, Wei Zhao forgot that the Taoist above was almost the same as ordinary people at this time.Not long after he went up, he saw the bright red wedding dress sinking into the water. Gong Liangzhi was holding on to the overturned boat not far away, trying to keep his head afloat.Wei Zhao hastily mobilized his divine power to calm the river again.
Wei Zhao supported Gong Liangzhi, who was starting to choke, turned the boat over with his tentacles, and carried the Taoist onto it.
Gong Liangzhi coughed twice and wiped his face.Wei Zhao was speechless, the apology rushed to his lips and swallowed again, he simply plunged into the water and fished up the dress.Gong Liangzhi took it, wrung out a handful of water, and asked, "What did you find?"
"Not yet." Wei Zhao said.
Gong Liangzhi nodded and didn't say much, which made Wei Zhao even more guilty.
He didn't have the face to stay on it anymore, nodded his head hastily, and plunged into the water again.This time he searched for half an hour, honestly searching inch by inch until his stomach growled.Wei Zhao grabbed a grass carp casually, put it in his mouth and swallowed it, the bloody smell of raw meat rolled over his tongue, it was extraordinarily delicious.He ate a dozen or so fish in one go, and for the time being, he thought of Gong Liangzhi.
Wei Zhao waited for a while, the hunger in his stomach eased a little, and there was no discomfort. Qing Mei Niang's illusion in "Catching the Dragon Seal" lasted for several years, and there is no restriction on what she can't eat. If he is not wrong, foraging for food is a part of the test.Wei Zhao rummaged at the bottom of the river and found several big oysters.He returned to the water with the oysters, prized them open and threw them into the boat.
Gong Liangzhi was wearing a half-dried red coat, spread out other clothes on the other deck, and was staring at the water in a daze.Shocked by the sound of oysters falling onto the boat, he stepped forward to open the shells one by one.Gong Liangzhi carefully turned over the meat of each oyster, shook his head, and said, "Nothing unusual."
"What a ghost." Wei Zhao was amused, and said, "Eat! Are you hungry?"
Gong Liang was taken aback, glanced at him, and said, "Thank you."
Wei Zhao thought, if the one who threw the oyster to him was not a demon cultivator, but..., he must immediately understand what it meant, and like countless times before, he would start eating it as soon as he got it.Wei Zhao curled his lips and got into the water again.
Then I caught a few more fish and went up.
It was completely accidental, when he went into the water, he just ran into a group of whitebait, this kind of small fish without scales and bones is a rare delicacy, they have eaten it on the way of cultivating the mind, and it is also delicious when eaten raw.Wei Zhao ate half of it and threw the other half into the boat.After a while, he saw another ball trout. They had eaten it once when Moxiu chased it into a deserted island. It was a clear stream among a pile of fish that would make people sick to eat raw.Wei Zhao couldn't bear it and sent the fish up. He always felt that the way Gong Liangzhi looked at him was a bit strange this time.
The agreed-upon cool and dazzling demon cultivator called ghosts.
Wei Zhao hurried into the water before the other party could speak, determined not to go up within a few hours.I don't know if he was temporarily freed from the evil thoughts of the world. He swam in the river with his long-lost healthy body (a few extra tentacles are not a big deal), thinking that he had just plunged into the cold pool and caught fish for Gong Liangzhi to clean up. Let’s roast together later—they used to do this in Qiantian Valley. The place where Canglang Peak punished the disciples to think about their mistakes was by the edge of the cold pool. into a picnic.
Gong Liangzhi always came to think about Guogu when he was punished, and sat beside him to practice silently.Wei Zhao is not afraid of the cold, he is afraid of being lonely and bored, so he welcomes Gong Liangzhi very much, and feels that the food should be delicious when there are people eating together.However, his friend refused to chat with him at this time, claiming that if you think about it, you have to think about it, and only eat with Wei Zhao at meal times.Wei Zhao once thought it was because his friend loved to eat fish in the cold pool and was unwilling to catch it himself, so he came here to borrow a place to eat fish.
He didn't know how long he stayed underwater this time, maybe four or five hours, but he still got nothing except his increasingly hungry stomach.Wei Zhao ate a lot, and always felt short of breath, and couldn't eat enough.He came across a very large fish with pectoral fins about a foot wide and with very sharp teeth.The fish avoided him when it saw him from a distance. Wei Zhao looked at it and immediately felt that he should go to the water to have a look.
God knows how many big guys there are in the river, he is not afraid, but Gong Liang, who has no real anger, will be choking when he meets him.
Wei Zhao surfaced and found that Gong Liangzhi had fallen asleep.He huddled under the wedding dress, hugged his legs, and rested his head on his knees, looking like a small ball.Wei Zhao swam over quietly and saw him curled up tightly, as if he was cold.
The clothes on the deck seem to be drying in the rainy season, and there is still moisture at this time.Wei Zhao pulled up Gongliang's clothes that had slipped down to his shoulders. From this angle, he could see his naked body under the wedding dress, so it's no wonder he wasn't cold.On the other side, he saw ball trout with skinned and boned fillets and a knife made of oyster shells. It was a scene of survival at sea.
When they were forced to the desert island, there was no boat to cross the sea, only the boards left by the collapse of the big ship.They tied the planks together in a storm, their energy was exhausted, the mustard bag was lost, and it was God's blessing to save a life.Wei Zhao remembered that he was injured more seriously that time, and it was only because of Gong Liang that he was tied to a wooden plank to keep him from falling into the water.When he regained consciousness, the weather was calm, there was half a mackerel on the wooden board, and Gong Liangzhi was cutting the meat with his sword beside him.Seeing that he was awake, Gong Liangzhi pouted at the shark and said: "Your blood is drawn, you should eat more."
What was he saying?
He said: Are you cold?The fish moved over, and we squeezed together to keep warm.
Wei Zhao reached out to touch Gong Liangzhi's hand, but before he touched it, Gong Liangzhi shivered.Wei Zhao stopped suddenly, realizing that the body temperature of this cold-blooded aquarium was much colder than his. Let alone keeping warm, it would be fine if he didn't wake people up from freezing.
The power of the river god can only make waves, not even light a fire.After being away from the water for such a long time, I didn't feel like I was holding my breath just now, but now I have started to feel difficult to breathe.Wei Zhao checked the remaining food on the boat and dived into the water again.
When Gong Liang woke up, the sky didn't change at all.
The sky was as gloomy as a lake, with only a dim sun hanging high in the sky, and it was impossible to tell what time it was.Unless Gong Liangzhi just slept through the night, the sky should not have changed.In the illusion, he couldn't distinguish between day and night, and he couldn't tell east, west, north, south, and the river was clear, but he couldn't see anything under it when he was on the water, unless the ghost summoned him close to the river, he could see a black shadow.
Now that shadow is gone.
Gong Liang didn't even know how long he had been waiting, the time with nothing to do seemed extraordinarily long.He summoned his true energy again, this time it was worse than last time, his meridians were empty, he was completely a mortal, so naturally he couldn't visualize.
He was hungry again and reached out for ball trout on deck.Ball trout is very delicious, without a little fishy smell, the meat is crispy and soft, and there is a touch of sweetness after chewing for a long time.Gong Liangzhi remembered the time when Wei Zhao and Wei Zhao accidentally caught this kind of fish in the past. At that time, they were trapped on a bare stone desert island for two days. "I can eat it for the rest of my life!" Wei Zhao patted his stomach and said, Gongliang knew that he would regret it after eating for another three or four days, but by then they should have recovered from their injuries and could go back and eat whatever they wanted.
Fortunately, another day later, they were rescued by a fishing boat and returned to the port.Wei Zhao bought the fishing boat and engraved words on it to commemorate the day when he no longer had to eat fish.
Gong Liangzhi thought casually, and went to think carefully about the clues he got before.He is not very good at water, and he relies on water avoidance spells to get into the water. Now there is nothing to do except think and wait.Gong Liangzhi was very patient, he waited.
He counted the time and waited hour after hour, distracted, wondering what Xi'er was doing now, and then couldn't help but start thinking about Wei Zhao.Thinking of Wei Zhao is like drinking too much alcohol. It tastes great at the beginning and ends with a splitting headache.Gongliang was so bored waiting, he couldn't help thinking, how boring would it be if Wei Zhao stayed under Xuanbingyuan until today?He loves being alone so much...
But Gong Liangzhi is also happy, and it is good to be alive.Sometimes when he wakes up from the past memories, he suddenly doesn't know what he is doing, and feels that his heart is broken, and he can't realize Wei Zhao's expectation for him to cultivate all the way to the ascension, and he is just wasting time.Now that Gongliang knows that Wei Zhao is alive, things suddenly look promising.So these ten years are no longer wasted, he is waiting for someone.
Gongliang waited and waited until he saw Wei Zhao's face.
"You..." Wei Zhao said, "You have been waiting?"
This isn't Wei Zhao, but that Demon Cultivator, Wei Zhao's brother, Gong Liang thought.However, when he emerged from the water, with a sad expression on his face, he was just like Wei Zhao when he was a teenager—when he left for too long because of a whim or anger, ran too far, and took longer than the agreed time to come back, But when he found that Gong Liangzhi had been waiting on the spot.He looked at Gong Liangzhi helplessly, as if he wanted to apologize.Gongliang really thought that Wei Zhao didn't need to apologize, he was willing to wait.
As long as he can wait, he is willing to wait.
"It's okay." Gong Liangzhi said, speaking to the vision of Wei Zhao in his heart.
"When did I apologize?" Wei Zhao muttered, "I thought you had nothing to do on the water, and it's pathetic for you to look like a husband-wife stone."
Wei Zhao felt that what he said just now was so stupid that Gong Liang couldn't get into the water, so he could only wait?It's just that when he came to the surface of the water, he saw Gong Liangzhi put on his clothes, draped in red, with his hands in his sleeves, quietly looking at the water surface, as if he was going to wait forever... He felt uncomfortable for no reason.
Gong Liangzhi is always the one who waits for others, because he is so quiet and doesn't move. Compared with Wei Zhao waiting for Gong Liangzhi to come to find him, it is better to oppose them both.In the past, when Wei Zhao looked at Gong Liangzhi who was waiting for him, he seemed to see a landmark, a thriving tree. Today, Gong Liangzhi's face has not changed, but it is like a smoldering fire, which makes people feel flustered.
He is so thin, he should eat more.
This idea makes no sense, Gong Liangzhi is a Foundation Establishment cultivator who is nearly [-] years old, he looked younger than he is now when he exhausted his true energy and killed the mackerel with injuries.
"What's more, the Taoist priest is still wearing a wedding dress." Wei Zhao suppressed the untimely emotions in his heart, looked at Gong Liangzhi with malicious intentions, and continued, "It's as if the husband died on the battlefield before consummating the wedding day, tsk tsk ,Pitiful."
Gong Liangzhi said, "Don't make trouble."
As soon as these words came out, both sides froze for a moment.
Gong Liangzhi used to make fun of Wei Zhao with this remark before. There is no doubt that this kind of reproach should not appear between a coerced Taoist priest and a wicked demon cultivator.Blame the atmosphere, inertia, judging people by their appearance, and being hungry.Both of them fell silent, not knowing what to say for a while.
Wei Zhao can't wait long, he should go back to the water, the longer he stays with Gong Liangzhi, the more hungry he will be.Just as he was about to move, Gong Liangzhi suddenly said, "Ball trout is a sea fish."
"Huh?" Wei Zhao said.
"That's what I wanted to say just now. Whitebait is a river fish, and ball trout is a sea fish. They shouldn't appear in a body of water at all." Gong Liangzhi's face changed and he got down to business, "I'm afraid this is a clue."
"That's right." Wei Zhao said vaguely, looking at Gongliangzhi's white neck, his stomach felt sour and his mouth was filled with fluid.
"I just ate, so I should be full, but now I'm very hungry." Gong Liangzhi said, "If you are also hungry, this illusion probably..."
Speaking of this, he looked at Wei Zhao's face and suddenly opened his eyes wide: "No, you are the one who is hungry."
Wei Zhao swallowed, he was almost too hungry to think.
"I wasn't hungry last round, I just got close to you and felt your hunger." Gong Liangzhi whispered, "The Dao of Hongchen pays attention to the dual cultivation of Taoist couples, so in the illusion, we can connect our hearts a little bit, no wonder... River God, That's right, the river god should eat the sacrifice..."
The actor who played the river god fell into the water with a bang, causing a big splash.
"Your Excellency?" Gong Liangzhi said.
Silent.
"Maybe the key point is here, the river god eats the sacrifice, and this round passes?" Gong Liangzhi looked around, anxious in his heart, and wanted to call out Moxiu, who seemed to be getting more and more affected, "Your Excellency, but try It’s okay, even if you fail this time, it’s a big deal to try again next time.”
The water calmed down.
Gong Liangzhi looked around, but he couldn't see Gui Zhao's shadow.Heartbroken, he bit his finger and put his hand into the water.
A trace of blood smeared in the river, and a few bubbles floated to the surface.
Gong Liang couldn't see the black shadow clearly, the boat tilted suddenly, and he fell onto the boat.He wasn't knocked down, but was thrown to the bottom of the boat by something jumping out of the water, and the slippery tentacles rested under his head, which finally prevented him from being knocked into stares.Gui Zhao was wet and pressed on him, his tall figure almost covered the sky and the sun, completely covering the upper part of the boat, and it was so heavy that the hull sank quite a bit.He sucked Gong Liangzhi's finger viciously, and said vaguely, "Why don't you say that the river god's merits and virtues are complete if he sleeps with his daughter-in-law?"
When he realized who the hunger was targeting, Wei Zhao came to his senses.
This round is indeed prepared for the couples who practice dual cultivation. However, it is a convenience but also a test. At first glance, the roles played by the couple are in conflict. They can go through it hand in hand, or they can find a way to go through the plot and give up one side and escape alone. So After going through this round in "Catching the Dragon Seal", Qing Mei Niang will find that all the cauldrons except her have died in it - there is no Taoist companion in Huanxizong, only the master and the cauldron, how can the master be with the cauldron Looking for a way to get out?If Gong Liangzhi succeeded in killing the River God before, if Wei Zhao listened to hunger and ate Gong Liangzhi now, the person who died would really be dead.
But where is the gate of life?
Different illusions have different solutions, and Wei Zhao can't copy Qing Meiniang's method at all.He tried hard to recall the commonality, but he couldn't concentrate. The illusion might have blocked something he knew.Wei Zhao struggled to keep himself from clenching, but Gong Liangzhi suddenly raised his hand and groped around the side of the boat.
They looked aside together and saw a line of small characters engraved on the side of the boat, "May [-]th was lucky to be born".
"So that's it, that's it!" Gong Liang said hurriedly, "The town is obviously a small town in the south of the Yangtze River, but the stone lions at the gate of the yamen are in the style of the Northland. There are ball trout from the sea in the river, and black trout from the East China Sea grow in the oysters." Pearl, this is not a random fabricated environment! This line of characters was carved by Wei Zhao on a boat in the port, and the scope has been narrowed down to Qishan Port..."
Qishan Port is a famous port in the country of Yan, with many characteristics, even if the location is determined, it is difficult to figure out what it represents.But for Wei Zhao and Gong Liangzhi, the deepest impression of Qishan Port is the huge couplet of the port that they saw from afar after the rest of their lives.
"The paint mountain swallows the earth, and the water comes from the sky?" Wei Zhao said.
"Water comes from the sky!" Gong Liangzhi suddenly realized.
Since entering the illusion, they did forget something.
Here is the tower.
In other words, the river water is actually "in the sky", and the "below" life gate - above their heads.
They raised their heads, and the dim sun never changed its position from the beginning to the end.
Knowing the answer and thinking about it further, this mechanism also makes sense.The monks in the Tao of the Red World are all in pairs. In ancient times, the pair of monks who practiced together to transform themselves into gods and opened up a small thousand worlds came from the Tao of the Red Dust.Since this is a test designed by Zhenjun Zhuanling for his disciples and grandchildren, the mechanism is of course set up for two people, and it can only start if both people participate.He repeatedly killed to stop killing, and the role became the river god.Gongliang is kind and conservative, and he probably became someone on the shore.
The God of the River will not be able to get to the shore when the time is not up, and Gong Liangzhi will not enter the water, so they must meet up as soon as possible to complete the test. It is the easiest and quickest way to set off a huge wave to defeat the opponent in this round.Even if it would cause casualties, wouldn't there be another round?The facts were as Wei Zhao had expected, but he didn't expect that Gong Liang would be dressed like this when he showed up again.
Gong Liangzhi was wearing a fiery red wedding dress. The slightly smaller dress could not be fastened, so it could only be hung loosely on his body.This bright red dress makes his exposed skin extraordinarily fair, but unfortunately the color of his lips is still dull, Wei Zhao thought to himself, the blood stain on his lips from the last round is very suitable to put here, it is more beautiful than rouge and cinnabar How bright.I don't know if it's because the hair is tied up perfectly, or because the expression on Gongliangzhi's face is too calm and indifferent. It's obviously the almost coquettish color on the man's body, but he insists on dressing up dignifiedly.
In any case, it's delicious.
"I remember the prince of Ruiguo wears vermilion." Wei Zhao rolled his eyes on the hijab next to him, and continued to speak meanly, "The Taoist priest's whole body looks like a prince from some country was pushed out to have a kiss."
"Thank you." Gong Liang didn't even lift his eyelids, "If you say the role is suitable, so is your Excellency."
This is mocking Wei Zhao's half-aquarium skin. The dragons rule the aquarium and are the best among the monsters. Now he is given such a half-aquarium appearance, which is a great shame for any dragon vein—— It's just that Wei Zhao regarded himself as a human being for the first 19 years of his life. He really lacked the dignity of the dragon clan, so it didn't hurt to be said so.
He smiled, and continued to climb up with a tentacle holding onto the side of the boat, got into Gong Liangzhi's lower garment, and hooked the Taoist's ankle.After turning into a dragon, Wei Zhao had an extra tail, and he knew exactly what it felt like to have multiple limbs. Now that he has eight tentacles, he has adapted well.
He could feel the subtle touch from the end of the tentacles, probably the outer skin was too porcelain and the sensation was dull, so he had to use some effort to feel the tenderness of Gongliangzhi's skin.The Taoist priest was sitting on his knees on the deck, and jumped up as if he was electrocuted. Only then did Wei Zhao realize that there were small suction cups growing on his tentacles, which were caused by sucking Gongliang just now. for.He watched Gong Liangzhi's face turn crimson with embarrassment, and he couldn't control his thoughts and ran down three ways.
At the same time, Wei Zhao felt a twitch in his stomach, and the vague sense of hunger became clear after the start of this round.
"Phantom Renshui Formation, the gate of life is below." Gong Liangzhi glared at him, "If your excellency is so free, please go and look for it underwater first."
"Can't the Daoist figure it out?" Wei Zhao asked, "I can figure out the approximate position even if I don't have the array."
"I'm almost no different from ordinary people now." Gong Liangzhi shook his head and said, "I can't mobilize even a trace of true energy and spiritual consciousness."
Wei Zhao heard that he looked inside himself and found that the problem was more serious than he thought.

The body of half-dragon is mainly based on the innate physical body, while the devilish energy is based on the evil in the world, following the false god way, so he didn't notice the essential change in his own power before.He was hungry and thought it was just some punishment and restriction caused by choosing a negative role.After careful investigation now, it was found that the body of the half-dragon had turned into a fleshy body of the Aquarium, with divine power circulating in his body, no matter how he looked at it, he was a river god who had attained the Dao of the Aquarium.
Wei Zhao lowered his head and saw his own face reflected in the river surface.
There is no corrosion from the evils of the world, no chaotically distributed scales, except for the webs between the gills and fingers behind the ears, at first glance it turns out to be Wei Zhao from ten years ago.
He was taken aback, and his body fell back into the water. The feeling of being driven by the river water was much more comfortable than being on the water surface.Wei Zhao swam to the surface again, his breathing became difficult after his gills left the water, like a mudskipper out of water.
"What does the Shengmen look like?" he asked.
"I don't know." Gong Liangzhi said frankly, "This big formation is not a killing formation. There should be something strange in the Shengmen as a reminder, which is different from the surroundings."
Wei Zhao nodded and plunged into the bottom of the river.
The river water is very clear, with a light blue color, and being in it seems to be swimming in a glass bottle.Wei Zhao went straight to the bottom of the water, sank tens of feet and saw the bottom of the river.

Wei Zhao waited for a while, the hunger in his stomach eased a little, and there was no discomfort. Qing Mei Niang's illusion in "Catching the Dragon Seal" lasted for several years, and there is no restriction on what she can't eat. If he is not wrong, foraging for food is a part of the test.Wei Zhao rummaged at the bottom of the river and found several big oysters.He returned to the water with the oysters, prized them open and threw them into the boat.
Gong Liangzhi was wearing a half-dried red coat, spread out other clothes on the other deck, and was staring at the water in a daze.Shocked by the sound of oysters falling onto the boat, he stepped forward to open the shells one by one.Gong Liangzhi carefully turned over the meat of each oyster, shook his head, and said, "Nothing unusual."
"What a ghost." Wei Zhao was amused, and said, "Eat! Are you hungry?"
Gong Liang was taken aback, glanced at him, and said, "Thank you."
Wei Zhao thought, if the one who threw the oyster to him was not a demon cultivator, but..., he must immediately understand what it meant, and like countless times before, he would start eating it as soon as he got it.Wei Zhao curled his lips and got into the water again.
Then I caught a few more fish and went up.
It was completely accidental, when he went into the water, he just ran into a group of whitebait, this kind of small fish without scales and bones is a rare delicacy, they have eaten it on the way of cultivating the mind, and it is also delicious when eaten raw.Wei Zhao ate half of it and threw the other half into the boat.After a while, he saw another ball trout. They had eaten it once when Moxiu chased it into a deserted island. It was a clear stream among a pile of fish that would make people sick to eat raw.Wei Zhao couldn't bear it and sent the fish up. He always felt that the way Gong Liangzhi looked at him was a bit strange this time.
The agreed-upon cool and dazzling demon cultivator called ghosts.
Wei Zhao hurried into the water before the other party could speak, determined not to go up within a few hours.I don't know if he was temporarily freed from the evil thoughts of the world. He swam in the river with his long-lost healthy body (a few extra tentacles are not a big deal), thinking that he had just plunged into the cold pool and caught fish for Gong Liangzhi to clean up. Let’s roast together later—they used to do this in Qiantian Valley. The place where Canglang Peak punished the disciples to think about their mistakes was by the edge of the cold pool. into a picnic.
Gong Liangzhi always came to think about Guogu when he was punished, and sat beside him to practice silently.Wei Zhao is not afraid of the cold, he is afraid of being lonely and bored, so he welcomes Gong Liangzhi very much, and feels that the food should be delicious when there are people eating together.However, his friend refused to chat with him at this time, claiming that if you think about it, you have to think about it, and only eat with Wei Zhao at meal times.Wei Zhao once thought it was because his friend loved to eat fish in the cold pool and was unwilling to catch it himself, so he came here to borrow a place to eat fish.
He didn't know how long he stayed underwater this time, maybe four or five hours, but he still got nothing except his increasingly hungry stomach.Wei Zhao ate a lot, and always felt short of breath, and couldn't eat enough.He came across a very large fish with pectoral fins about a foot wide and with very sharp teeth.The fish avoided him when it saw him from a distance. Wei Zhao looked at it and immediately felt that he should go to the water to have a look.
God knows how many big guys there are in the river, he is not afraid, but Gong Liang, who has no real anger, will be choking when he meets him.
Wei Zhao surfaced and found that Gong Liangzhi had fallen asleep.He huddled under the wedding dress, hugged his legs, and rested his head on his knees, looking like a small ball.Wei Zhao swam over quietly and saw him curled up tightly, as if he was cold.
The clothes on the deck seem to be drying in the rainy season, and there is still moisture at this time.Wei Zhao pulled up Gongliang's clothes that had slipped down to his shoulders. From this angle, he could see his naked body under the wedding dress, so it's no wonder he wasn't cold.On the other side, he saw ball trout with skinned and boned fillets and a knife made of oyster shells. It was a scene of survival at sea.
When they were forced to the desert island, there was no boat to cross the sea, only the boards left by the collapse of the big ship.They tied the planks together in a storm, their energy was exhausted, the mustard bag was lost, and it was God's blessing to save a life.Wei Zhao remembered that he was injured more seriously that time, and it was only because of Gong Liang that he was tied to a wooden plank to keep him from falling into the water.When he regained consciousness, the weather was calm, there was half a mackerel on the wooden board, and Gong Liangzhi was cutting the meat with his sword beside him.Seeing that he was awake, Gong Liangzhi pouted at the shark and said: "Your blood is drawn, you should eat more."
What was he saying?
He said: Are you cold?The fish moved over, and we squeezed together to keep warm.
Wei Zhao reached out to touch Gong Liangzhi's hand, but before he touched it, Gong Liangzhi shivered.Wei Zhao stopped suddenly, realizing that the body temperature of this cold-blooded aquarium was much colder than his. Let alone keeping warm, it would be fine if he didn't wake people up from freezing.
The power of the river god can only make waves, not even light a fire.After being away from the water for such a long time, I didn't feel like I was holding my breath just now, but now I have started to feel difficult to breathe.Wei Zhao checked the remaining food on the boat and dived into the water again.
When Gong Liang woke up, the sky didn't change at all.
The sky was as gloomy as a lake, with only a dim sun hanging high in the sky, and it was impossible to tell what time it was.Unless Gong Liangzhi just slept through the night, the sky should not have changed.In the illusion, he couldn't distinguish between day and night, and he couldn't tell east, west, north, south, and the river was clear, but he couldn't see anything under it when he was on the water, unless the ghost summoned him close to the river, he could see a black shadow.
Now that shadow is gone.
Gong Liang didn't even know how long he had been waiting, the time with nothing to do seemed extraordinarily long.He summoned his true energy again, this time it was worse than last time, his meridians were empty, he was completely a mortal, so naturally he couldn't visualize.
He was hungry again and reached out for ball trout on deck.Ball trout is very delicious, without a little fishy smell, the meat is crispy and soft, and there is a touch of sweetness after chewing for a long time.Gong Liangzhi remembered the time when Wei Zhao and Wei Zhao accidentally caught this kind of fish in the past. At that time, they were trapped on a bare stone desert island for two days. "I can eat it for the rest of my life!" Wei Zhao patted his stomach and said, Gongliang knew that he would regret it after eating for another three or four days, but by then they should have recovered from their injuries and could go back and eat whatever they wanted.
Fortunately, another day later, they were rescued by a fishing boat and returned to the port.Wei Zhao bought the fishing boat and engraved words on it to commemorate the day when he no longer had to eat fish.
Gong Liangzhi thought casually, and went to think carefully about the clues he got before.He is not very good at water, and he relies on water avoidance spells to get into the water. Now there is nothing to do except think and wait.Gong Liangzhi was very patient, he waited.
He counted the time and waited hour after hour, distracted, wondering what Xi'er was doing now, and then couldn't help but start thinking about Wei Zhao.Thinking of Wei Zhao is like drinking too much alcohol. It tastes great at the beginning and ends with a splitting headache.Gongliang was so bored waiting, he couldn't help thinking, how boring would it be if Wei Zhao stayed under Xuanbingyuan until today?He loves being alone so much...
But Gong Liangzhi is also happy, and it is good to be alive.Sometimes when he wakes up from the past memories, he suddenly doesn't know what he is doing, and feels that his heart is broken, and he can't realize Wei Zhao's expectation for him to cultivate all the way to the ascension, and he is just wasting time.Now that Gongliang knows that Wei Zhao is alive, things suddenly look promising.So these ten years are no longer wasted, he is waiting for someone.
Gongliang waited and waited until he saw Wei Zhao's face.
"You..." Wei Zhao said, "You have been waiting?"
This isn't Wei Zhao, but that Demon Cultivator, Wei Zhao's brother, Gong Liang thought.However, when he emerged from the water, with a sad expression on his face, he was just like Wei Zhao when he was a teenager—when he left for too long because of a whim or anger, ran too far, and took longer than the agreed time to come back, But when he found that Gong Liangzhi had been waiting on the spot.He looked at Gong Liangzhi helplessly, as if he wanted to apologize.Gongliang really thought that Wei Zhao didn't need to apologize, he was willing to wait.
As long as he can wait, he is willing to wait.
"It's okay." Gong Liangzhi said, speaking to the vision of Wei Zhao in his heart.
"When did I apologize?" Wei Zhao muttered, "I thought you had nothing to do on the water, and it's pathetic for you to look like a husband-wife stone."
Wei Zhao felt that what he said just now was so stupid that Gong Liang couldn't get into the water, so he could only wait?It's just that when he came to the surface of the water, he saw Gong Liangzhi put on his clothes, draped in red, with his hands in his sleeves, quietly looking at the water surface, as if he was going to wait forever... He felt uncomfortable for no reason.
Gong Liangzhi is always the one who waits for others, because he is so quiet and doesn't move. Compared with Wei Zhao waiting for Gong Liangzhi to come to find him, it is better to oppose them both.In the past, when Wei Zhao looked at Gong Liangzhi who was waiting for him, he seemed to see a landmark, a thriving tree. Today, Gong Liangzhi's face has not changed, but it is like a smoldering fire, which makes people feel flustered.
He is so thin, he should eat more.
This idea makes no sense, Gong Liangzhi is a Foundation Establishment cultivator who is nearly [-] years old, he looked younger than he is now when he exhausted his true energy and killed the mackerel with injuries.
"What's more, the Taoist priest is still wearing a wedding dress." Wei Zhao suppressed the untimely emotions in his heart, looked at Gong Liangzhi with malicious intentions, and continued, "It's as if the husband died on the battlefield before consummating the wedding day, tsk tsk ,Pitiful."
Gong Liangzhi said, "Don't make trouble."
As soon as these words came out, both sides froze for a moment.
Gong Liangzhi used to make fun of Wei Zhao with this remark before. There is no doubt that this kind of reproach should not appear between a coerced Taoist priest and a wicked demon cultivator.Blame the atmosphere, inertia, judging people by their appearance, and being hungry.Both of them fell silent, not knowing what to say for a while.
Wei Zhao can't wait long, he should go back to the water, the longer he stays with Gong Liangzhi, the more hungry he will be.Just as he was about to move, Gong Liangzhi suddenly said, "Ball trout is a sea fish."
"Huh?" Wei Zhao said.
"That's what I wanted to say just now. Whitebait is a river fish, and ball trout is a sea fish. They shouldn't appear in a body of water at all." Gong Liangzhi's face changed and he got down to business, "I'm afraid this is a clue."
"That's right." Wei Zhao said vaguely, looking at Gongliangzhi's white neck, his stomach felt sour and his mouth was filled with fluid.
"I just ate, so I should be full, but now I'm very hungry." Gong Liangzhi said, "If you are also hungry, this illusion probably..."
Speaking of this, he looked at Wei Zhao's face and suddenly opened his eyes wide: "No, you are the one who is hungry."
Wei Zhao swallowed, he was almost too hungry to think.
"I wasn't hungry last round, I just got close to you and felt your hunger." Gong Liangzhi whispered, "The Dao of Hongchen pays attention to the dual cultivation of Taoist couples, so in the illusion, we can connect our hearts a little bit, no wonder... River God, That's right, the river god should eat the sacrifice..."
The actor who played the river god fell into the water with a bang, causing a big splash.
"Your Excellency?" Gong Liangzhi said.
Silent.
"Maybe the key point is here, the river god eats the sacrifice, and this round passes?" Gong Liangzhi looked around, anxious in his heart, and wanted to call out Moxiu, who seemed to be getting more and more affected, "Your Excellency, but try It’s okay, even if you fail this time, it’s a big deal to try again next time.”
The water calmed down.
Gong Liangzhi looked around, but he couldn't see Gui Zhao's shadow.Heartbroken, he bit his finger and put his hand into the water.
A trace of blood smeared in the river, and a few bubbles floated to the surface.
Gong Liang couldn't see the black shadow clearly, the boat tilted suddenly, and he fell onto the boat.He wasn't knocked down, but was thrown to the bottom of the boat by something jumping out of the water, and the slippery tentacles rested under his head, which finally prevented him from being knocked into stares.Gui Zhao was wet and pressed on him, his tall figure almost covered the sky and the sun, completely covering the upper part of the boat, and it was so heavy that the hull sank quite a bit.He sucked Gong Liangzhi's finger viciously, and said vaguely, "Why don't you say that the river god's merits and virtues are complete if he sleeps with his daughter-in-law?"
When he realized who the hunger was targeting, Wei Zhao came to his senses.
This round is indeed prepared for the couples who practice dual cultivation. However, it is a convenience but also a test. At first glance, the roles played by the couple are in conflict. They can go through it hand in hand, or they can find a way to go through the plot and give up one side and escape alone. So After going through this round in "Catching the Dragon Seal", Qing Mei Niang will find that all the cauldrons except her have died in it - there is no Taoist companion in Huanxizong, only the master and the cauldron, how can the master be with the cauldron Looking for a way to get out?If Gong Liangzhi succeeded in killing the River God before, if Wei Zhao listened to hunger and ate Gong Liangzhi now, the person who died would really be dead.
But where is the gate of life?
Different illusions have different solutions, and Wei Zhao can't copy Qing Meiniang's method at all.He tried hard to recall the commonality, but he couldn't concentrate. The illusion might have blocked something he knew.Wei Zhao struggled to keep himself from clenching, but Gong Liangzhi suddenly raised his hand and groped around the side of the boat.
They looked aside together and saw a line of small characters engraved on the side of the boat, "May [-]th was lucky to be born".
"So that's it, that's it!" Gong Liang said hurriedly, "The town is obviously a small town in the south of the Yangtze River, but the stone lions at the gate of the yamen are in the style of the Northland. There are ball trout from the sea in the river, and black trout from the East China Sea grow in the oysters." Pearl, this is not a random fabricated environment! This line of characters was carved by Wei Zhao on a boat in the port, and the scope has been narrowed down to Qishan Port..."
Qishan Port is a famous port in the country of Yan, with many characteristics, even if the location is determined, it is difficult to figure out what it represents.But for Wei Zhao and Gong Liangzhi, the deepest impression of Qishan Port is the huge couplet of the port that they saw from afar after the rest of their lives.
"The paint mountain swallows the earth, and the water comes from the sky?" Wei Zhao said.
"Water comes from the sky!" Gong Liangzhi suddenly realized.
Since entering the illusion, they did forget something.
Here is the tower.
In other words, the river water is actually "in the sky", and the "below" life gate - above their heads.
They raised their heads, and the dim sun never changed its position from the beginning to the end.
