The water of the Yellow River in this section of Mingtiao Gang is not really clean. It is no better than the Xingxiu Sea. It is normal for mud and sand to be mixed in the water. It is not so much river water as it is muddy water. It is unprepared to be exposed to such muddy water.

I poured it all over my heart, but the taste was really not good. Somehow, the fine sand got into my eyes and mouth. The sting made my eyes blurry with tears. If I pressed my mouth a little, the gravel would roll between my lips and teeth, making a "crunching" sound.

"The sound makes people's teeth sore.

A huge black trunk was stirring back and forth in the shallows not far away, as if struggling for life before death. After a few flops, it lost strength. It was the culprit that stirred up the muddy water.

A clump of rocks blocked the view, but the other party's head could not be seen.

"Liu Jiao?"

I hurriedly asked Wushuang to help me over, but I overestimated my physical condition. Before Wushuang could lift me up from the ground, the damn backache came again. I tilted my mouth and screamed "Ouch", and Wushuang was gone.

The only way is to squat down and carry me on your back.

Behind the messy stones, a huge head rested quietly on the river beach, with mud and water covering its chin. The long beards that symbolized the wandering dragons were scattered in sticky strands like worthless aquatic plants.

It is a species difference. It is difficult for humans to see any emotional fluctuations in such linear pupils. A pair of huge eyes looks like two stone beads to me, cold and wooden.

This is Liu Jiao's current state. If she hadn't been making trouble just now, anyone would have thought it was a corpse. It looked so miserable. The originally round and huge body looked a little shriveled at the moment, as if it had been damaged by the sun.

As if the water had dried up in the sun, the dark scales had lost their luster. Due to the shrinkage of the body, the scales did not look as row upon row as before. They exploded one after another, with large gaps, like dry pine cones...

Probably because the black mist came out of Liu Jiao's body, Wu Shuang was somewhat wary of the huge creature in front of him and refused to get close. It wasn't until I patted his shoulder that he hesitantly took a few steps forward, but

He refused to let me down until life and death.

I looked at Liu Jiao for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said: "I thought you were sucked dry by that thing. You are like this... are you looking for something from us? If you have any requests, just say it. Anyway, we are here

It can be regarded as sharing the same adversity. As long as it is not excessive, we will try our best..."

Looking at her huge body, I felt a little worried, so I quickly added: "Don't ask us to take you back to the main tomb. You are so big that even the rest of us can't lift you alive. Otherwise...

...We will help you find Pannu. With the endless strength of Hu Biaoli, maybe we can..."

Before I could finish speaking, Liu Jiao's sweet voice came from the giant snake's bloody mouth, giving people an extremely weird feeling: "I'm sorry, I didn't know that thing was hidden in my body.

It almost hurt you..."

I didn't expect her to say this. She felt like she was just being a villain. She blushed and said calmly: "It's impossible to be on guard if you calculate mentally but not intentionally. It's not your fault. What's supposed to come will always come. I understand it too."

"You can escape the first grade of junior high school, but you can't escape the fifteenth grade. There will always be a day when you will hit it head-on."

Liu Jiao was very weak. Not only was her voice full of fatigue, but it was difficult for her huge body to move even a little bit. Her cold and emotionless eyes kept wandering around my face, and she hesitated to speak several times. I knew that she should be

She was curious about why I could resist the black mist, but I couldn’t explain it clearly, so I couldn’t give her any explanation. But in the end, she didn’t ask, she just sighed sadly: “I’m going to die…”

I was speechless for a moment. I thought she had a chance of survival after struggling like this, but looking at her appearance, I felt relieved. The thing was dormant in its body, and it couldn't resist the black mist on its own.

It would be nice to hang up...

"Pan Nu said that when your ancestors took action, the water veins of the Yellow River revived, and the auspicious energy on Mingtiao Hill soared to the sky..."

Liu Jiao said to herself: "Looking at it this way, your lineage is actually better at utilizing the power of dragon veins, right?"

This is the secret of the etiquette officer, an open secret.

Everyone knows what's going on, but it's almost impossible for the ceremony officer to say it himself, and he would say it to someone he absolutely trusts.

But seeing that she was dying soon, I nodded.

"Hey, we have reached the same destination by different routes."

Liu Jiao chuckled: "It is not easy for us Liu family disciples to practice cultivation. It is like hundreds of teams fighting to cross the river. In the final analysis, what we fight for is the moment when our own spiritual energy returns to the clan. The dragon vein is the mother of spiritual energy. Fighting for that spiritual energy to return to the clan will end in the end.

Aren't you striving for a breath of dragon energy? I spent thousands of years to finally gain this breath of energy. I was just one step away from the goal. In the end, it was still just out of reach. This is my destiny. From the moment I was put into that damned castle

From the beginning in the tomb, I have been a prisoner, a prisoner, what qualifications do I have to be detached?"

Her tone was relaxed, but I could hear a deep sense of helplessness and unwillingness.

"That's all, that's all..."

With a sigh, Liu Jiao added: "Since I was put in that tomb, I accept it. It's like being a monk and ringing the bell every day.

I don’t want to ask about the past grudges. I don’t want to pursue why the black fog went south. It’s just an illusory thing.

Your ancestors turned the tide, and now you have solved the fish that slipped through the net. This is a fact and a sentiment. I accept it. Now that we have reached this point, how about I give you a big gift? "

Before I could say anything, Lao Bai poked his head out from behind the boulder and said hurriedly: "Okay, God rewards hard work. God knows that hard work will be rewarded. As a human being... no, even more so as a snake."

, It’s not easy for us brothers to fight life and death, so we should earn some money...

Forget it, I understand the basic principles, so I won’t go on about it, let’s talk about something real, what do you have?”

Liu Jiao glanced at him coldly.

Lao Bai swallowed his saliva and said hurriedly: "There are not too many gold, pearls and jade articles. It doesn't matter if you can't move them. Just tell me a place and we can go get them ourselves. Just let that idiot do it. They are rotting in the ground anyway."

, it is also a great merit to help a few poor Taoists who are devoted to the way of heaven...

But seeing that your tomb is simple and simple, it really doesn’t have these exquisite things. I think the cauldron below is good, but it’s a little heavy. But as long as you agree, I will do my job and I will carry it!!

If you think that thing is too important, how about letting those old brothers make room and give us a bronze coffin?"

Liu Jiao probably couldn't stand this guy's philistineness and chattering anymore, so she interrupted directly: "Let your friend use that big knife to split my head open, and you can see the big gift for you..."

Lao Bai, who was lying on the stone, was stunned and said with a smile: "What kind of treasure is this? It's so bad to give such a bloody gift!"

I don’t think it’s a good idea either. We met each other once, not that we were very familiar with each other, but as soon as someone dies, he immediately splits his head with a knife... It’s a bit weird no matter how you think about it.

"After I die, I will be buried in the Yellow River..."

Liu Jiao's voice became deeper and deeper: "Being born here and buried here is considered complete..."

The mute wind quickly swallowed up her voice.

When I looked at her again, she was already motionless, and even the last luster of her originally cold eyes had faded...

"Dead..."

Brother Yaozi sighed: "He is also a hard-luck person..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Shuang suddenly stepped forward, picked up the Mo Dao and struck it down.

I was on his back, startled by his sudden move, and exclaimed "Hey", but it was too late.

puff!

The skull was immediately cut open, and strands of black blood overflowed...

"you……"

I opened my mouth, but in the end I just said bitterly: "You have a heart."

How could I not know Wushuang’s thoughts?

Liu Jiao said there was a big gift. In his opinion, it was something good for me, and nothing else... didn't matter!

With such a simple thought, what else can I say? Is it possible to reprimand and then accept the things with a smile?

So, I asked Wushuang to put me down, endured the pain, and bowed respectfully to Liu Jiao's body.

Buzz!

The Earth Spirit Pearl in his abdomen trembled without warning.

I looked up in confusion, only to see something stained with blood rolling out from the wound on the big snake's head.

Lao Bai said softly, "Hey". This grandson is a money man. When he sees a good thing, no one can grab it. He quickly turned over from the big stone and reached out to grab it. As a result, he just grabbed the bead in his hand and immediately "

Ah!" He cried out in pain, his hands cramped and turned into chicken claws. He stepped back and cursed: "What the hell, it's so hot!"

Brother Yaozi looked at the beads rolling on the ground, thought for a moment, and then laughed: "Ha, it is indeed a great gift!"

After saying this, he looked at Lao Bai and teased: "You can touch things stained with dragon energy? It's already good that your claws are not broken!"

After this reminder, Lao Bai came to his senses. He kept yelling "f*ck, f**k". He squatted down and carefully looked at the beads on the ground. His look of shock became more and more intense. He suddenly raised his head and asked.

: "Could this thing be the legendary water-repelling bead?"
