As night falls, blackness covers the earth, not a single star is seen in the sky, and even the moon half covers its face, only half of the hazy hairy moon is revealed.

Although it is mid-July now, standing on the edge of the Yellow River in the middle of the night, being blown by the cold wind, I can't help but shiver.

Looking at the Yellow River with a cold light under the moonlight, and thinking about the shipwrecked boat that I encountered at noon today, I immediately felt conflicted.

"Brother Yang, what are you looking at? Let's pack up quickly and get into the water." Xiaochen had already put on his diving suit and carried an oxygen tank. When he saw me staring at the Yellow River in a daze, he quickly asked

.

I laughed dryly, looked away, and hurriedly put on the diving suit. Looking at the soles of my feet that looked like duck feet, I couldn't help imagining that my current appearance must be very funny.

"Brother Duanmu? What's wrong with you? Why are you giggling?" On the other side, Yuxun also changed clothes from the grass. The tight diving suit perfectly showed her proud figure.

I chuckled and said, "Sister Xun'er still looks pleasing to the eye,"

Yuxun rolled his eyes at me and said, "Let's go quickly and try to come back before dawn. It would be bad if others find out."

After saying that, she put the oxygen storage helmet on her head and jumped into the churning water of the Yellow River.

thump--

There was another sound, and I quickly turned my head to look and found that Xiaochen, the little boy, actually jumped down with Yuxun.

I gritted my teeth and was about to jump down when a strong hand touched my shoulder.

I turned my head violently and swung my hand back, but as soon as I swung it behind me, I was grabbed tightly by someone. With a strong force from the latter, my arm was firmly suppressed on my back.

"Hiss, it hurts." I cried out in pain subconsciously.

Unexpectedly, the other party really let go of his hand after hearing my call. Seizing the opportunity, I turned around, fumbled for my hidden knife, and was about to stab the person behind me.

Stab, I only heard the sound of the knife cutting through my clothes, and then my wrist was held in someone else's hand.

"Fuck," I yelled angrily. I didn't expect this guy to be so skilled.

"Stop, stop, Xiaoyang, don't do anything yet."

This person actually spoke. The voice sounded very familiar, but I couldn't remember who it was for a moment.

I frowned and looked at this person and said, "Who are you? Let me go first."

Suddenly, the strength on my wrist loosened, and then someone pressed me on my forehead. The man said, "Good boy, I just paid homage to my master this afternoon, but I forgot about it in the evening."

After hearing what he said, I immediately realized, no wonder, so I said that the voice was very familiar.

Looking up again, I could roughly distinguish the appearance of this person through the light of the hairy moon in the sky. I smiled and said, "Yeah, it's Master Murong. Let me tell you, who has such good skills?"

"Slippery," Murong Zhen scolded me with a smile, and then straightened the clothes on his chest. Through the moonlight, I could still clearly see that the water ghost's tattered clothes had not changed for a century because of my 'impulse'

, and there is another gorgeous opening.

Guilty, I put the knife in my sleeve back into my sleeve. I immediately changed the subject and asked, "Master, what are you doing here in the middle of the night?"

Murong Zhen immediately covered my mouth, and the smile on his wrinkled face became thicker. He said: "I will go wherever you want to go. Haha. Although I like you to call me these two words, Xiaoyang

It's better if you don't shout less, otherwise it won't be good if others hear you."

I nodded knowingly, and Murong Zhen put his hand down. I originally wanted to ask him what he wanted to do, but after thinking about it, I gave up the idea of ​​asking.

Since Murong Zhen has already talked to this point, and he is still my master, it is natural that he should not tell me about his matters, not to mention that I am still a disciple of outsiders.

Seeing me stunned, Murong Zhen stretched out his hand and waved it in front of my eyes. He said, "Xiaoyang, why are you so stunned? Your two friends have already reached the bottom of the Yellow River."

I was brought back from my thoughts by his words, and I quickly slapped my forehead. It was so big that I forgot about Sister Xun'er and Xiaochen.

I quickly put on my oxygen storage helmet and looked at the river surface and then at Murong Zhen. I was just about to ask Murong Zhen if he wanted to go into the water with me when I was caught off guard and was slapped by Murong Zhen from behind and sent directly into the water.

.

Poof, the water pressure when I first entered the water made me dizzy. After a few random flops, I heard another diving sound.

After I almost got used to it, I saw a dark shadow swimming toward me.

I thought it was Murong Zhen, but I didn't expect it to be Xiao Chen. Through the waterproof spotlight on the oxygen storage helmet, I could clearly see that he was swimming towards me with a worried look on his face at this time.

Seeing him like this, a bad signal suddenly flashed in my mind. I immediately turned on the two spotlights above my head and swam towards him.

Unexpectedly, when this kid saw me approaching, he immediately took out the short dagger I had prepared for him for self-defense in the afternoon and held it against his chest. He also looked at me with a vigilant look.

Did this kid have a brain cramp tonight? I frowned at his actions and continued to swim towards him.

"Ah, damn, I fought with you all, I'm really haunted!"

"Hey, hey, hey," I looked at the dagger he was getting closer and closer to my head, and shouted hurriedly. This kid didn't have a brain twitch, he was so nervous. He wanted to stab me when he saw it.

Xiaochen, if you have something to say, please tell me. What are you doing? No, don’t stab me. Who will help you teach those ducks a lesson after you stab me?"

It seemed that my words had an effect. Xiaochen actually stopped what he was doing, just when the blade was less than five centimeters away from my oxygen storage helmet.

"Are you really Brother Yang?" Xiaochen looked at me with disbelief.

Seeing him like this made me angry, and I almost got stabbed by him inexplicably. I raised my foot and kicked him and cursed: "You brat, you've learned a lot, you dare to stab me, right?"

If you don't like me a long time ago, just say so. Why don't we just fight each other? There's no need to stab me so hard."

I kept chattering, but Xiaochen seemed to be stunned by my kick. He looked at me without saying a word, with a straight look in his eyes.

I was still thinking about whether I had stepped too hard. Unexpectedly, this guy suddenly jumped on me and hung on me like an octopus. Then he cried: "Brother Yang, it's really you."

.Don’t say anything, just follow me to save Sister Xun’er, she is surrounded!”

"Don't be impatient. Please tell me what's going on. What happened to you just now?" I grabbed Xiaochen and asked as he tried to pull me deeper into the river.

Xiaochen glanced at me with a worried look on his face and said, "Brother Yang, let's talk while walking. Bah, we're talking while walking."

While talking, Xiaochen pulled me to swim deeper. Before swimming, I looked at Murong Zhen's figure. When I found that he was silently following me and Xiaochen, I swam with Xiaochen with confidence.

Go down.

Along the way, Xiaochen also gave me an overview of what happened.

It turned out that not long after Xiaochen and Yuxun got into the river, they discovered that someone had been following them. When they took a closer look, they discovered that the 'person' was me, because the 'person' had the same face as me.

Exactly the same face.

It is precisely because of this that Xiaochen's motive for stabbing me when we met for the first time just now is explained.

But they only glanced at the 'person' from a distance, mistakenly thinking that I was still worried about those who would die and did not dare to go deep into the river bottom, so they paid no attention to that 'me'.

It wasn't until they entered a mysterious cave, where fish with human faces kept pouring out, that they began to doubt the silent "I" who had been following them.

By the time they discovered that what they were worried about was true, and that 'I' was actually a human-faced fish that transformed into me and had only one face, it was already too late. They were already surrounded by a swarm of human-faced fish.

, and the face of each human-faced fish has turned into mine without knowing it.

And he was lucky enough to escape because Yuxun attracted a school of fish alone.

"Fuck," I couldn't help but curse inwardly when I heard this. Damn it, I didn't expect that there was such a terrifying existence as the human-faced fish at the bottom of the Yellow River.

I have heard of the human-faced fish, which is similar to a vampire. It relies on sucking blood for a living. It does not suck the blood of drowned animals, but only sucks the blood of humans. It is usually in a state of sleep when there is no blood sucking.

Only when they smell the smell of humans will they act in groups.

It seems that Xiaochen and the others accidentally touched something when they came down, so they were targeted and rounded up by a swarm of human-faced fish.

Wait, according to what Xiaochen said, a cold light flashed in my mind! Who is the person who I think is Murong Zhen following us?

My scalp started to feel numb. What Xiaochen said was so mysterious that I wasn't even sure whether the person following him was Murong Zhen.

"Xiaochen," I grabbed Xiaochen who was swimming in a hurry, "Brother, I want to ask you something."

"What?" Xiaochen paused, seemingly seeing my troubled expression.

I leaned toward him mysteriously and said, "Can those human-faced fish talk?"

Xiaochen was obviously stunned for a moment. I looked at it and thought, forget it. I'm afraid he didn't know, otherwise he wouldn't have stopped just because of my few words.

Thinking of this, I didn't even turn my head and just shouted:

"In ancient times, there were eight treasure pagodas, each with a room for thousands of gods and thieves. Now there are four empty pavilions. I don't know what they are."

Xiaochen was stunned by my shouting, looking like he was confused.

In fact, it is the safest way for me to shout like this. These sentences were also taught to me by my elder brother when I entered Qianmen. My elder brother said that only people within the Wai Ba Xing are familiar with these sentences and can connect the following sentences. And the Wai Ba Xing

When people outside the industry listen to it, it's almost like an ordinary three-and-a-half-sentence poem.

In fact, you must still be confused. There is a method that is very convenient and accurate. Why don't I use it? I'm not stupid. I can also think of swimming over and touching the person behind us to see if he has a body. After all, Xiaochen also said before

Yes, the human-faced fish has only one face and no body.

However, this method seems simple, but it also carries great risks. As I said before, human-faced fish suck blood. It is conceivable that their sharp teeth are not for display. They will tear our diving bodies to pieces.

It should be a matter of minutes for them to take it.

It would be better if we find out that it is really Murong Zhen, but if it turns out to be a human-faced fish, then Xiaochen and I will be doomed. Anyway, I will not let us take such a risk.

Back to the subject, I shouted for a long time, but still heard no reply. Just when Xiaochen and I were highly concentrated and ready to escape at any time, the sound of objects swimming was heard not far behind us.
Chapter completed!
