After graduating, I became the Dragon King

Pang Shuangqing felt that this big-headed fish was really greedy and shameless, so just in case, he put the hand that had been turned into a loose pincer behind his back and hid it so that no one would miss him.

Going to see Yu Jieshu again, he said with relief, "Anyway, it's good that you're here now, and with the seal of the water officer, you can save those remnant souls."

"This..." Yu Jieshu showed guilt again, "Ling Yin is no longer here."

"What?" Pang Shuangqing was anxious when she heard the words, and said, "Without the seal, what should those remnant souls do?"

"Fortunately, expert Xue is here." Yu Jieshu hurriedly said, although she didn't know what kind of dragon Fubo Jun was, but she had seen Xue Chen's strength, "He can borrow Fubo Longjun's divine power."

But Pang Shuangqing didn't breathe a sigh of relief, instead she was stunned: "Fu, Fu Bo Longjun?"

He tightened his scalp and stared at Xue Chen, "Are you from Lord Xinlong? Then what I said to Lord Xinlong just now..."

"That's right, I heard everything." Xue Chen smiled sinisterly, "You're dead."

Pang Shuangqing:! !

He was silent for a while, then took out his hidden hand and stretched it out in front of Xue Chen, discussing, "I'll give you one of my tongs, it's delicious fried in bread crumbs, please don't talk to Xinlong Jun Inform."

People around: "..."

Xue Chen punched his pliers, "Stop talking nonsense, and take us to see Remnant Soul."

Pang Shuangqing felt a pain in his hands. He wondered if his pliers were cracked, but he didn't dare to complain, so he nodded quickly: "Oh, yes, everyone, please follow me."

With Pang Shuangqing leading the way, everyone no longer has to search around like headless chickens, and the speed is much faster.

Pan Shuangqing led them to push aside the reeds, crossed the shoal exposed by the drop in water level on the shore, and arrived at a dilapidated ferry.

The good teacher recognized this ferry, and was taken aback: "Isn't this Ferry?"

Fengyudu was originally one of the earliest crossings of the Dahuang River. Later, with the change of living habits and the relocation of cities and towns, this area gradually declined.

After the flood that year, this place was completely deserted and became a deserted countryside, and the wind and rain crossing was completely forgotten.

Nowadays, many young people in Yusehai do not know that there was a small ferry called Fengyudu in the early years of Dahuanghe River, that is to say, elderly people like Liang Shigong still remember this place.

"The entrance to the enchantment of the Nether River is here." Pang Shuangqing's tone was not without emotion, "In the early years when this place was not deserted, this ferry was the place of death and life in Wucheng. , one side is going to die. The so-called wind and rain have shared the same worries, and the prosperity and prosperity have taken a different path today, which is to cross the wind and rain."

But now, there are luxuriant reeds and wild grass everywhere, and few people come here. The so-called vicissitudes of life are just like this.

A long embankment made of wood extends from the shore to the water. The Fengyu Ferry was built very early. In the past, manpower was limited and the embankment was not wide.

But now, this not wide ferry has been in disrepair for a long time, and it is even more dilapidated. Many places are rotten and broken.

Everyone walked up to the ferry one by one, and when they stepped on it, the wooden boards made a "creaking" sound.

"Everyone, pay attention to safety." Dong Gong and Yu Chunchun and the young men carefully went to help the elderly, carefully avoiding some damaged places.

Pan Shuangqing also reminded: "Be careful, don't fall into the water, the water here is very dangerous."

As if he was afraid that they would not believe him, he purposely elongated his voice to create a terrifying atmosphere, "Don't say I didn't tell you, there is a monster from Japan in this piece of water, it's so strong that it can entangle people with water plants foot, drag people into the water and drown, if you encounter this monster, it will be bad."

"No chance." Xue Chen replied casually, "The Dongying monster is dead."

"Huh?" Pang Shuangqing was stunned, "Impossible, that Japanese monster is so hard on life, the former guard killed it several times but failed to kill it..."

"That's because you didn't find the right method." Xue Chen patted him on the shoulder.

It seems that the informatization of the aquarium is urgent. Look at the employees of the aquarium, how backward the information is.

He said again, "I'll give you the specimen of that monster later, you're welcome."

Pang Shuangqing: "..."

After confirming that the Dongying monster was really dead, he was surprised, but also heaved a long sigh of relief, "That's great, then I won't have to go to Yuse Seabed to cut water plants for others."

When Yu Chunchun heard the words, he suddenly realized, "Ah", "So you cut those aquatic plants?"

Over the years, people in Yusehai have been entangled by aquatic plants from time to time, and they were all lucky enough to escape. The strange thing is that those who got out of trouble would find that one end of the aquatic plants that entangled them was very flat, as if cut off with a sharp tool.

Therefore, some people have always suspected that the aquatic plants were specially cut by underwater monsters for tools.

But last night, Yu Chunchun and the others clearly saw that the water grass was the Kappa's hair at all, so there was no saying that it was cut from other places.

She didn't think about it at the time, but when Pang Shuangqing mentioned it, she suddenly understood.

Those aquatic plants were probably not cut by crabs.

Sure enough, Pang Shuangqing replied: "I cut it. The Dongying monster is too difficult to deal with. I can't kill it. I make small moves all day long. I have to go to Yusehai to patrol regularly. Cut the weeds."

Yu Jieshu sighed again: "Thank you for your hard work."

Pan Shuangqing scratched her head with her pliers: "Fortunately, the monster is finally dead now."

While speaking, the group of people had already reached the end of the long wooden embankment, standing on the edge of the embankment, with the water of the Great Wilderness River under their feet.

This is where the river enters the lake. Due to the expansion of the section and the decrease of the water flow speed, the river surface is gentler than other places, but under the action of tidal force, it still keeps surging and makes the sound of "squeaky" waves.

"It's here." Pang Shuangqing said.

Dong Gong and others hurriedly turned their flashlights towards the river, but the night was too dark, and the river was so dark that they couldn't see anything clearly.

Everyone couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

"where?"

"It was so dark I couldn't see anything."

"Oh, I'm getting old, my eyes are dim."

I heard Xue Chen say: "I saw it."

Jane Lance stood beside him, and looked at him sideways when he heard the words, but seeing Xue Chen looking down at the river, his glass-like eyes were extraordinarily bright in the moonlight, making people unconsciously believe that he could indeed see through This dark river.

Xue Chen's voice was light, with rare compassion: "I saw... a lot of remnant souls."

The dragon and the water co-exist, and the eyes are born to be able to see things in the water, and they can even detect chaos.

As soon as he stood by the water, he saw the underwater world through the muddy and deep river.

The Great Wilderness River is far and wide, one side is long and has no end in sight, and the other side is the vast and boundless Yuse Sea.

The bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the moonlight falls on the water. This faint brilliance is not enough to illuminate the eyes of mortals, but it is enough for the dragon.

In the eyes of mortals, it is a dark water, but in Xue Chen's eyes, it is dark green, surging water.

Under the green water, dozens of remnant souls sank into it. Their clothes were torn, their hair was scattered like water plants, their eye sockets were sunken, and their skin was swollen and purple.

But they didn't seem to be in pain. Their faces were expressionless, their eyes were dull and lifeless, and their bodies moved with the waves under the washing of the river, wandering back and forth.

This is a remnant soul without a soul, who doesn't know where it came from, and doesn't know the way back. It can only instinctively stay where it is, waiting for redemption.

First wait is 20 years.

"I will save you." Xue Chen said calmly.

Jane Lance felt Xue Chen's sudden depression, but he didn't say anything, but held Xue Chen's hand silently.

Pan Shuangqing pointed to the water surface farther away: "The Shenmu dragon boat is over there."

"I saw it too." Xue Chen said.

Under the clear water, beside Youhun, a huge, nearly 20-meter-long dragon boat was suspended in it, entangled in crab essence and aquatic plants, and hidden in the water.

"Your Majesty's eyes are so good, you can see all of this, it's more powerful than many aquariums." Pang Shuangqing admired, and then made a gesture to enter the water, "Wait a moment, everyone, I'll go down and cut off the aquatic plants, so that the boat can float up."

"No need." Xue Chen stretched out his hand to stop him, "I'll do it."

He stood upright by the water's edge, closed his eyes and concentrated on it, and recited the formula in his mouth. After a while, a decree silently swept across the surface of the water and sank into the river.

Now that his spirit is complete and his cultivation base is more prosperous, the sleeping river will be awakened when he is not in use.

Under the green water, the aquatic plants wrapped around the Shenmu dragon boat untied automatically as if consciously, the dragon boat broke free from the shackles, and slowly rose from the water, over the aquatic plants, over the swimming fish, and over the mayflies on the river.

As if someone was lifting the dragon boat up under the water, the dragon's head came out of the water first, then the dragon's tail, and finally the dragon's body. Finally, the whole boat broke through the water with a "crash" and floated up.

The Shenmu dragon boat, which had been missing for several days, finally reappeared in the world, floating wet on the black water under the moonlight.

Along with the Shenmu dragon boat surfaced, there were dozens of ragged, chaotic dead souls.

The souls of the dead drifted quietly above the water, without sound or consciousness. They lost a soul, and after being washed by the river for many years, the remnant souls were already extremely empty.

The bright moon is shining, but it can't illuminate their whereabouts.

Jane Lance tacitly lit a yellow talisman, and when the flames lit up, those remnants finally became clearer, allowing the elders of the villagers on the bank to see them.

The crowd suddenly became agitated, and their voices became even more excited.

"I see them!"

"I saw it too!!"

"How did this happen? How did they become like this?"

After speaking, the voice gradually choked up.

Those remnant souls look extremely ferocious, with swollen and purple skin, sunken eye sockets, and dull yellow eyes, anyone who sees them at first glance will be shocked.

But in the eyes of these old people in Yusehai, these images are not terrible, they only make them feel guilty, nostalgic and sad.

Several old people couldn't hold back their tears on the spot.

Xue Chen looked at this scene indifferently, turned his palm upside down, and a golden decree followed.

Yu Jieshu on the side opened his eyes wide in surprise.

The golden decree is clearly the divine power of the water official seal. Under normal circumstances, once the divine power leaves the official seal, it is difficult to use it again, because ordinary people simply cannot withstand the divine power of the Dragon King.

So after seeing the power of the official seal being absorbed by Xue Chen, she took it for granted that the power would disappear with it.

She never expected that Xue Chen could catch the Dragon King's divine power and turn it into his own use.

No wonder Xue Chen said he could save these remnants.

What is the origin of this young man to have such a cultivation base?

Xue Chen didn't know Yu Jieshu's ups and downs, he concentrated on casting the spell, and the golden decree fell on the remnant soul, washing away all the evil, filth and resentment that had been bred in the black water for many years.

The swelling on Remnant Soul's body gradually subsided, his skin color returned to normal, and his sunken eye sockets gradually became fuller. Although his appearance was still gloomy and distressed, he could at least see his appearance before birth.

The old people on the ferry also recognized these faces one by one, and finally couldn't restrain themselves anymore, each one choked up.

"Xiaomei, I saw Xiaomei..."

"Brother, it's me, Ah Liang, do you still recognize me?"

"Guosheng, your granddaughter is admitted to university this year, she is very promising, open your eyes and see—"

Xue Chen said: "It's been too long, it may take some time to recover their sanity."

He has the aura of a real dragon, and can drive the divine power of official seals, but helplessly, these remnant souls have been lost for too long. After 20 years of vicissitudes, they have drifted away to nowhere, and it is not easy to find them back.

Fortunately, as long as it is within this water area, it can always be called back.

The good teacher wiped away his tears: "No matter how long it takes, we will wait here."

"Whatever you want." Xue Chen didn't say much.

The seven emotions in the world are difficult to measure rationally.

But just after he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a strange and familiar energy appearing in the water, and that energy was in harmony with the remnant soul on the surface of the water.

He looked up in surprise, and saw the eyes of those floating souls gradually clearing up on the surface of the water... Their souls had already returned.

One of them turned his head slowly, looked towards the shore, smiled and said, "Ah Liang, why are you so old?"

On the edge of the long embankment, the good teacher wailed loudly: "Brother, you are finally back!"
