A gentleman riding a red dust smile

The Ming River borders on the southwestern sea area, with numerous rivers and developed water transportation.Minghe people are generally familiar with water since childhood, and the disciples of Luhuadang are the same.Even Song Lingshuang, a native of Nanling, was a good swimmer because he often lived in Luhuadang when he was a child.But as long as there are "general", there are "exceptions".Changsun Jue, as the young master of Luhuadang, is an exception.

Changsun Jue is afraid of water, and not in a normal way.In the past, he would not even go near the water, but after all, he was born in a water village, no matter how many years he was afraid, he would get used to it.Nowadays, as long as there is no water, Sun Jue, the captain on the shore or on the boat, can barely bear it.But as soon as he stepped into the water, Changsun Jue, who was gifted in every aspect, instantly turned into a stone pillar, sinking with a gurgle.

Speaking of it, this is actually Song Lingshuang's fault.

Song Lingshuang was six years old that year. He had just learned to swim in Minghe the summer before and was in high spirits. This year, he went back to Luhuadang with his eldest grandson Jue just after the beginning of summer.

On this day, Song Lingshuang was swimming and playing with other children near the dock.The two-year-old Changsun Jue can't swim yet, so he watched from the boat alone.

Song Lingshuang was tired from swimming, and was about to go back to the boat, when she turned around and saw the youngest son, Sun Jue, sitting obediently at the stern, staring at him intently as he waited for him to go back.He suddenly smirked and plunged into the water.

Changsun Jue didn't understand why Song Lingshuang had disappeared, so he turned his head to look around.Still missing, he stumbled and stood up, lying on the water surface along the side of the boat, looking in the direction of Song Lingshuang.He couldn't find Song Lingshuang, he was a little anxious, and was about to shout, when suddenly a head popped out of the water with a splash, splashing water all over his face!

Song Lingshuang triumphantly approached Changsun Jue, "Daughter-in-law, I'm here!"

The eldest Sun Jue, whose face was covered with water, blinked his big black eyes. Before he could react, Song Lingshuang disappeared again.After a while, he emerged from the opposite side of the boat, "Hey, daughter-in-law, this way!"

After Zhang Sun Jue reacted, he "clucked" happily, and followed Song Lingshuang to the other side of the boat with small unsteady steps.

Changsun Jue has exquisite facial features since he was a child, he looks like a little girl, and he is very cute when he smiles, and he always makes people who see his smiling face feel happy.But this doll, who can't even walk steadily and can't say a word, has very clear likes and dislikes.If someone he doesn't like teases him, he won't even bother.But when he meets someone he likes, he giggles without hesitation.Song Lingshuang is very proud of the fact that she laughs as soon as she teases the elder Sun Jue, and feels that our family's A Jue has a high vision.Every time I see Changsun Jue smiling at me, I feel extremely proud.

Today, Changsun Jue smiled especially happily. The long eyelashes on her delicate face were like a small fan, and her black eyes flickered.Song Lingshuang was delighted to see it, so she got excited and played hide-and-seek underwater.It appeared from one side of the boat for a while, and emerged from the other side for a while, making Chang Sun Jue chase him all over the boat while laughing.

Song Lingshuang played with Changsun Jue for a long time, and gave up when he was exhausted.The boat was not big, and Changsun Jue was small and light. When Song Lingshuang turned over into the boat from the water, the boat was pressed by his weight and shook violently in the water.Changsun Jue was a little surprised at first, and then seemed to have discovered a new way to play, and smiled more happily than before.

Song Lingshuang wanted to sit down and rest for a while, but seeing that Sun Jue was still in high spirits, he started playing with him again.He stood at the stern and jumped up and down, and the boat swayed to his rhythm.Changsun Jue couldn't stop laughing, bouncing forward and backward with the shaking of the boat.He thought it was fun, imitating Song Lingshuang, and jumped up himself.

It was not easy to stand firm when the boat was shaking, and Changsun Jue didn't know how serious it was, so when he jumped up, he suddenly lost his balance, followed by a "plop".

Song Lingshuang watched Changsun Jue fall into the river in front of him, but didn't react for a while.When he realized what happened, he immediately panicked and shouted: "Ah Jue!" He said and ran to the place where Changsun Jue fell.He couldn't see anyone, he only saw the water bubbling and bubbling. "A Jue! A Jue!" He yelled several times anxiously, and jumped into the water himself.

The underwater elder Sun Jue waved his limbs in a panic, but this did not stop his body from sinking sharply.Seeing this, Song Lingshuang hurried to pull it.Changsun Jue found the thing he was pulling, and instinctively pressed Song Lingshuang's body to go up.Changsun Jue came out of the water and continued to thump, taking a breath and choking on two mouthfuls of water, while Song Lingshuang was firmly held under the water by him.

At first Song Lingshuang was able to hold his breath, but later he was only choking on water.He felt his lungs hurt like they were about to explode, and his consciousness became blurred.He vaguely felt a pair of big hands lifting him up, and then completely lost consciousness.

When Song Lingshuang opened his eyes, Changsun Jue was sitting beside him crying with a pale face, surrounded by a group of fishermen.A kind-faced middle-aged fisherman next to him patted him and said, "Just wake up, don't be so reckless next time!"

It turned out that Song Lingshuang's yelling before going into the water alarmed the fishermen in the dock, and soon someone rushed over to rescue them. In fact, the two fell into the water only for a moment.Song Lingshuang passed out because he was held under the water all the time. Apart from choking on a few mouthfuls of water and being frightened, Changsun Jue was fine.

It is a blessing that there is no danger, but it is also true that we have played with fire.That night, after the eldest grandson and his wife found out about this matter, Mrs. Shuang punished them to kneel in the yard for two hours.

As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of well ropes for ten years.Falling into the water this time became the lingering shadow of Changsun Jue.In the first few years, he didn't even dare to get close to the water, but he was more willing to stay with Song Lingshuang in Qingyan Mountain.It finally got better, but it was impossible to go into the water.So when Song Lingshuang found out that the only way was to dive out of the underground river, he showed embarrassment.

Changsun Jue asked Song Lingshuang about the way out, and Song Lingshuang took him to the pool and gave him a rough explanation.

Changsun Jue looked at the dark pool water, his face was darker than the water.

Song Lingshuang patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "The water just looks dark, the light is a problem! Look," he held a hand of water and handed it to Chang Sun Jue, "It's very clean, it's fine, hehehe!" He was embarrassed She smiled in an attempt to ease Chang Sun Jue's emotions.

A cold light pierced through Changsun Jue's eyes: "..." Is this a question of cleanliness?

Song Lingshuang: "Hehehehe." Because the chief culprit for Changsun Jue's fear of water is himself, he is always very guilty.Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and said, "You can prepare yourself slowly. Before we go out, let's go back to the winged tiger's lair."

Changsun Jue asked, "What are you going back for?"

Song Lingshuang smiled slyly.

The two of them drank enough water, and it was still Song Lingshuang who led Sun Jue by his clothes and walked towards the winged tiger den in the dark.

Song Lingshuang has fully recovered from the negative emotions just now.While leading the way, he said, "I've been thinking about one thing. Don't you think, in the Ender just now, the last help he called was strange?"

Changsun Jue didn't speak, waiting for him to continue.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Song Lingshuang to continue the conversation: "He said 'save me!' Why would a person say 'save me' when he knew he was about to die and there was nothing he could do? If it was just to express that he didn't want to Death, it's a bit too..." He couldn't find the words for a while, "Purpose?" He didn't know if it was appropriate to say that, "It's like... like..."

Changsun Jue took his words: "It seems that there is a third person present."

Song Lingshuang: "You think so too?"

Changsun Jue: "Do you still remember what the other man in black said in the Ender?"

Song Lingshuang: "Did he say something strange?"

Changsun Jue: "He is urging others to help. Judging from the attitude of the owner of the ender at the beginning, the owner of the ender should be a superior, but when the man in black who is a subordinate is urging him to help But it does not seem to be the attitude towards the superior. If there is a third person, although this person was present, but for some reason, he did not come to help cut the amethyst stone, it is reasonable for him to say that."

Song Lingshuang nodded in agreement, and at the same time admired Chang Sun Jue's meticulousness, "Then do you think it is this person who used the Maverick to hide this secret?"

Changsun Jue replied: "It is very likely."

Song Lingshuang stopped talking and continued walking.After a while, he asked, "Did you already guess that there might be another person?"

Changsun Jue was silent for a moment and said, "Yes."

Song Lingshuang: "Why?"

Changsun Jue: "Because there is no belt card you mentioned around the two bones, it is very likely that a third person took the belt card away in order to hide their identities."

Song Lingshuang continued to ask: "That's why you said that you will know after checking?"

Chang Sun Jue: "Yes."

Song Lingshuang: "Then why didn't you say that?"

Changsun Jue: "If I didn't tell you, wouldn't you think of it?"

After a while, Song Lingshuang said, "Thank you."

After thinking about it, he could understand that the reason Changsun Jue didn't say anything was because he didn't want to lure himself into danger with speculative guesses.But if he felt that something was wrong and wanted to investigate, he would go through fire and water with him to investigate.

Changsun Jue said indifferently, "Thank you for what?"

Song Lingshuang was serious for less than three seconds, laughed and said, "Thank you for being so respectful of my genius' IQ!"

Changsun Jue gave him a sideways glance, "Do you want face?"

When the two returned to the tiger's den, Song Lingshuang circled around the dead winged tiger twice.The winged tiger's body showed signs of decay, but the pair of dark steel wings were intact.Song Lingshuang asked: "Ah Jue, is there any way to take this pair of wings away?"

Changsun Jue: "..."

"A Jue?" Song Lingshuang thought that Changsun Jue hadn't heard, so he called again.

Changsun Jue: "..." Are these bastards serious?He saw that Song Lingshuang had already started to pull out the tips of Xuangang's wings, and felt that if he didn't answer, something serious would happen, "No."

Song Lingshuang pulled it out for a long time, not to mention pulling off the wings of the winged tiger, not even a single wing feather.Hearing this, he was suddenly discouraged, and sat down on the ground, "Don't be so disappointing!" His expression was somewhat rascal, "Our genius A Jue must have a way."

Changsun Jue was even more impatient seeing his sloppy virtue, and suppressed his anger and said: "Don't say you can't get the black steel wings, even if you get them off, you can't take them with you."

Song Lingshuang jumped in front of Changsun Jue, and said with a playful smile: "But this is Xuangang! Help Wei Fu get it down, and Wei Fu will forge a sword for you, okay?"

Changsun Jue said coldly: "No, I have Jun Xiao."

Song Lingshuang refused to give up: "Then make a pair of black steel armor! Invulnerable to swords and guns, the majesty explodes!"

Changsun Jue didn't waver at all: "No need."

Seeing that the lure was not enough, Song Lingshuang lay down on the black steel wings, rubbing his fingers back and forth on the wing feathers, pretending to be pitiful: "One piece, just one piece! This is a second-class monster! Just you and me! Two people killed it! What is it called? Husband and wife are of the same heart, and their benefits cut through gold! Don’t I just want a piece of black steel feather, as a souvenir!”

Changsun Jue's complexion was even colder, with blue veins appearing on his forehead.He walked up to Song Lingshuang and said, "Get out of the way."

On the contrary, Song Lingshuang lay down even tighter, her face stuck to her wings, "I won't dodge! If you have the guts, take me away!" Song Lingshuang was very handy in playing rogue, and everyone was angry.He really didn't want to force others to be difficult, but he just liked to see Changsun Jue look helpless.Don't be funny, don't be funny!

The blue veins on Changsun Jue's forehead became more obvious, and his tone was a little angry: "If you still want a black steel feather, get out of the way!"

Song Lingshuang was taken aback.He didn't expect Changsun Jue to have a solution, so he quickly got up and stepped aside.

Changsun Jue pulled out Jun Xiao, looking at it with a trace of guilt on his face.He searched carefully on the black steel wing with his fingers, and finally found a black steel feather near the tip of the wing, and pried it up with Jun Xiao.

He looked impatiently at Song Lingshuang and said, "Where is your world?"

Song Lingshuang suddenly understood, and the corner of his mouth raised, and Hongchen locked the pryed-up black steel feather tightly with a long whip.

The two used their spiritual power at the same time, one prying and the other pulling out.After a while, Song Lingshuang suddenly lost his center of gravity and fell backwards, falling back hard on the ground.

The black steel wings were really pulled out by them!

Song Lingshuang withdrew from the world of mortals, looked at the Xuangang Yu in his hand, a little unbelievable.He turned his head to look at Changsun Jue again, his eyes sparkled with excitement, and it was clearly written on his face: "How about we get another piece?"

Changsun Jue knew what that bastard was thinking at a glance, Jun smiled back, and his tone became even colder: "Get lost!"

Song Lingshuang looked away awkwardly, he naturally understood the principle of accepting as soon as he sees a deal.He looked at the piece of black steel feather in his hand, smiled happily, and said to himself: "One piece is just one piece, it's good to be a hidden weapon!" Then he walked to the black steel wing again, stroked the black steel wing with regret and said: " Hey, it's a pity for such a treasure. It would be great if I could hide it and come back to fetch it later!"

Changsun Jue felt that Song Lingshuang's shameless skills had improved, sighed with drooping eyes, walked to Maverick's corpse and cast a curse, waved his long sleeves, and as some gravel flew up and down, Maverick connected with Xuan The steel wings disappeared right in front of my eyes.

Song Lingshuang was dumbfounded, "This is..."

Changsun Jue took his words: "This is the formation that hides the tiger's den in the bamboo forest."

Song Lingshuang asked in surprise, "When will you meet?"

Changsun Jue replied: "When the formation is dismantled."

Song Lingshuang: "..." Is there anything else you can't learn?He said casually, "There is no wind in this cave, so it was difficult for people to discover the flaw just now."

Changsun Jue said again: "I have corrected that flaw."

Song Lingshuang: "..." The ability of a genius is beyond anyone's imagination!Once imagined, the embarrassing one is yourself.

"Can I go?" Changsun Jue asked impatiently.

Song Lingshuang nodded obediently, thinking: "If there is a jue in the family, it is like a treasure. I have to make a good offering!"

After tossing for a while, the two returned to the Amethyst Cave where the underground river was located.Song Lingshuang used the awl that fell next to the second corpse to chisel out a piece of amethyst, put it in a spiritual pouch and stuffed it on his body.

Changsun Jue frowned and looked at him: "This is the source of the disease, it should not be taken out."

Song Lingshuang smiled and said: "Don't worry, the spiritual sac is already sealed, and the disease cannot escape. Besides, the whole Chizhou is immune, so who is afraid of this. Besides, if we want to investigate, we must leave some evidence."

Changsun Jue thought about it, and it was the same reason.But then he looked at the amethyst stone which was almost the size of a palm and asked, "Then what do you do with such a big piece?"

Song Lingshuang said with a wry smile: "You said it was light and easy, try it! It takes much more effort to chisel a small piece than a large one. This is already the smallest piece I can chisel out!"

Changsun Jue: "..."

Everything was ready, and the two stood by the pool again.

Song Lingshuang said: "I don't know how long the underground river is. I have no spiritual power, and you don't have much spiritual power left. So after entering the water, we will close our breath first. If you really feel that you can't stand it, then close the breath curse."

The breath-holding spell is a kind of talisman, which can introduce the thin oxygen around into the body through spiritual power, and there is no need to breathe for a short time.This talisman is mostly used to avoid poisonous miasma in swamps. Of course, it can also prevent drowning for a while with poor water quality.

Changsun Jue: "What if you can't hold on first?"

Song Lingshuang raised his eyebrows in disbelief and said, "Ah Jue, don't underestimate me! I am good at water, and I can hold my breath for a longer time than you. Take care of yourself first, and don't consume your spiritual power prematurely."

Chang Sun Jue nodded.

Song Lingshuang asked: "Are you ready?"

Changsun Jue: "Can I not leave here if I'm not ready?" The words were choking, but his complexion was obviously paler than before.

Song Lingshuang knew that he was nervous. Seeing that Sun Jue was about to go into the water, he grabbed him, "Wait, what's the rush, it seems like you really know how to swim..."

Changsun Jue looked at Song Lingshuang coldly, but saw that he tore a strip of cloth from his inner sleeve, stood behind him, and covered his eyes with the strip.

Changsun Jue: "What are you doing?"

Song Lingshuang: "Don't move. If you can't see it, you won't be so afraid." Covering Chang Sun Jue's eyes, he stood in front of Chang Sun Jue again, turned his back to him, put his hands on his shoulders, and said, "After entering the water, you Don't worry about anything, just hold me, and I will take you away."

The eldest grandson Jue, who is absolutely impossible to rely on others on weekdays, did not refute for the first time, but just nodded slightly.Song Lingshuang unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth, so obedient, he seemed really nervous.The obedient A Jue is the cutest!

He carried Chang Sun Jue on his back and said, "I'll carry you into the water, and I'll let go after I get into the water. Don't move, just hold me tight."

Changsun Jue is taller than Song Lingshuang, and Song Lingshuang's injury has not healed, so it is not easy to carry it on his back. He even feels that the injury on his chest shows signs of opening again.But he knew that Changsun Jue would only get more nervous if he was unable to do what he wanted, so he took every step carefully and tried to be as smooth as possible.

Song Lingshuang had already investigated it just now, so he carried Changsun Jue on his back and went into the water with a place where he could walk.As soon as he got into the water, he could feel Changsun Jue on his back starting to stiffen.

Song Lingshuang: "I'll count to one, two, three, and you just hold your breath." Although Changsun Jue couldn't see it, he could feel the river flowing around him.The cold water made his mind completely blank.

Song Lingshuang could feel Changsun Jue's beating heart through his clothes. He held his hand on his shoulder and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, trust me!"

The warmth from his hand and the familiar voice calmed down Changsun Jue a little, and he hummed lightly.

Song Lingshuang asked: "Are you ready?"

Changsun Jue tightened his arms in reply.

Song Lingshuang said: "One, two, three!"

Changsun Jue took a deep breath, only to feel that there was a force that brought him down, and the whole person was submerged in the water.

Fear is like a tarsal maggot, which cannot be shaken off, nor can it be resolved with reason.The unique silence and coldness underwater made his whole body stiff, and there was a loud bang in his head like a rock cracking, as if it was about to explode in the next second.Thinking is already a luxury, Changsun Jue is glad that Song Lingshuang blindfolded him, so that he can still remember clearly to hug the shoulders in front of him.

He could feel himself diving.He couldn't tell how deep they had dived because he couldn't see it, but after a while he felt it begin to move forward.He couldn't judge the passage of time at all, every second seemed extremely long to him.His body was still trembling uncontrollably, but he didn't know whether it was the temperature of the other person in front of him or something that would get used to even being afraid after a long time, but he was a little calmer than before entering the water.

Practitioners are physically different from ordinary people, but Changsun Jue has been holding his breath since entering the water, and now he feels a little uncomfortable.He lay on Song Lingshuang's back and suddenly realized a problem. When Song Lingshuang said that his water quality was longer than his breath holding time, he took it for granted that he was right because he didn't think carefully because he was nervous.But now that he calms down and thinks about it, he only needs to stay still, and Song Lingshuang is diving with two big living people, so how can the consumption of breath in his body be the same!His face suddenly darkened.

In fact, Song Lingshuang was close to the limit of holding his breath at this time, but he had no idea how long it would take before he could go out. Instead of telling the chairman, Sun Jue, that he was wasting spiritual power, he could only resist and swim forward.Suddenly, Changsun Jue, who was on his back, pinched his shoulder heavily, causing him to almost choke on water in pain.He complained in his heart: "Changsun Jue, you lunatic! Are you trying to murder your own husband?" The next moment he found a breath flowing into his body.It turned out that Changsun Jue had already pinched a breath-holding spell.

"This guy, can't hold on anymore?" Song Lingshuang thought to himself.He swam forward even harder, striving to reach the exit of the underground river before Changsun Jue exhausted his spiritual power.

After swimming for an unknown amount of time, Song Lingshuang felt that the surrounding area opened up.He was overjoyed and started to swim up.Gradually he could feel the light above his head, and at this moment, the closing breath spell disappeared.He knew that Changsun Jue's spiritual power was exhausted.But he has already seen the light, and if he works harder, the problem will not be big.On the contrary, he was very thankful that this kid could persist for so long without much spiritual power.

But suddenly he found that the hand around his shoulder was loose.When he looked back, Changsun Jue's body was drifting away from him and sinking.Startled, he quickly grabbed Chang Sun Jue's hand and pulled it up desperately.Song Lingshuang's water quality was not comparable to that of a boy who was just learning to swim, and it didn't take long for him to pull Changsun Jue out of the water.

Sure enough, as he expected, the underground river was connected to a lake.Now they are in this lake.He didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly dragged his grandson Jue ashore.

He untied the cloth strips from Changsun Jue's eyes and found that he had passed out.It didn't take him long to realize what was going on.He opened Chang Sun Jue's mouth, and then began to press on his chest.After a few presses, Changsun Jue spat out a few mouthfuls of water and began to cough violently.

Song Lingshuang yelled at him fiercely: "Changsun Jue!"

Changsun Jue finally regained his breath, sat up pale, and looked around only to find that they were already on the shore, and he was relieved.

Song Lingshuang reached out and unceremoniously turned his face around, making him look at her.At this time, he lost his usual hippie smile, and became serious rarely, and asked the boy in front of him: "When did you cast the closing breath spell for yourself?" Suddenly he thought of something, "Or did you say you didn't use it for yourself at all? Otherwise, with your little spiritual power, how could you persist for so long?"

Changsun Jue pushed his hand away, and replied indifferently: "Of course I use it, but I use it intermittently. I don't consume physical strength, so I don't need to use the closed-breathing spell to protect me all the time."

Song Lingshuang was angry, but there was nothing he could do about him, and he said helplessly, "I've never seen you so stupid, you really want to drown yourself!" Then he said, "I'll find firewood to make a fire!" Then he went to the woods by the lake in.
