Chapter 94: The Dragon King Han Family Son-in-law and the Ancient Shy Fish
After calming down, Li Chu set off for Wangyu Village.
The dragon fruit is about to be delivered.
He borrowed the idle boat from the villagers in Wang Fishing Village and hired a few sailors to help. He wanted to pay them, but the villagers said they didn't need anything.
These are the most honest and simple people of Heluo. If you help them once, you will be remembered for the rest of your life.
This voyage went exceptionally smoothly, without the hassles of last time. When we arrived at the nearby sea area, we could see the golden Yongle Island from afar.
Seeing the golden light, Li Chu felt tears in his eyes.
Deyun Temple will become like this sooner or later!
When the ship docked, it was still the island's steward who led the team, warmly welcoming the guests to disembark.
Just like last time, the sailors were warned by their wives and did not dare to go down.
Li Chu went to the island alone.
Seeing that Wang Longqi didn't come, several maids in the crowd showed disappointment.
Sitting in the hall was a person who looked like a snowman, with a familiar, tall smile on his face.
The Dragon King and the Han family's son-in-law.
"My friend, I never thought you would come back so soon!"
Seeing the jade box handed over by Li Chu, the Dragon King was overjoyed. He had seen the Dragon Fruit before, and he could smell the scent that haunted him without opening the box.
"I was lucky. I happened to collect all four secret keys." Li Chu said calmly.
The Dragon King held the jade box, opened it and took a look, took a deep breath, and said intoxicatedly: "It is dragon energy, the smell of blood. With it, I only need to gather a drop of divine dragon marrow, and there will be a day when I can return to the peak. Then... the Han family, hehe."
He raised his head again and said to His Highness, "Present it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a servant came with a small brocade box and handed it to Li Chu.
Li Chu took a glance and couldn't guess what it was.
If it were gold or silver, it would be too little.
If it's jewelry or jade...it might be quite valuable.
Judging from the generosity of the Dragon King in inlaying the bricks with night pearls, the reward he would give himself would definitely not be bad, so there is no need to worry about that.
Just as he was thinking about it, the servant opened the brocade box.
There was indeed a pearl inside, but it was not an ordinary pearl.
Instead, it was a dark blue gem with a faint inscription on it. It was unknown whether the inscription was natural or carved later. Although it was simple, it seemed to carry a very profound meaning.
Li Chu felt that he seemed to be able to see some truth from it, but it was like the first time he came into contact with a hieroglyphic language. Although he could vaguely guess its meaning, he could not fully understand it.
Without letting him think too much, the Dragon King introduced: "This is a water-repellent bead."
"I know that the young Taoist priest has a high level of cultivation, but there are always some unexpected situations when traveling in the martial arts world. Many cultivators can fly into the sky and hide underground, but once they enter the water, they are inevitably restricted. With ten points of cultivation, they can only exert five or six points."
"As long as you wear this water-repellent bead, you will be protected from all water and can walk into rivers, lakes and seas as if walking on flat ground."
"The earliest water-repellent beads in the world are actually a type of dragon beads. Nowadays, there are only three or five real water-repellent dragon beads. The ones commonly seen in the martial arts world are all imitations made by Danding Pavilion. What I have here is one of the real water-repellent dragon beads! The quality and effect are far superior to those imitations."
Although Li Chu was slightly disappointed that the Dragon King did not use those yellow and white vulgar things to humiliate him, it sounded like this water-repellent bead was also very powerful.
Moreover, the rivers, lakes and seas are like flat ground...
It is indeed very practical.
As powerful as Sun Wukong was, didn't he suffer from his inability to fight water battles throughout his life?
With this, your safety factor will be greatly increased.
"This dragon fruit is too precious to me. That's why I spent a lot of time thinking about what to give you as a reward. Are you satisfied with this reward?"
After the introduction, the Dragon King asked cautiously.
Li Chu smiled and nodded: "Very satisfied."
"Haha, that's good." The Dragon King waved his hand and said, "Come on! Set up a banquet!"
He turned around and laughed heartily again, "It only takes me seven days to condense the divine dragon marrow, and within a year, I can refine a body of divine dragon blood again. By then, my cultivation should be able to return to 70% of its peak, which will be enough to escape from Yongle Island, haha!"
Li Chu was somewhat puzzled and asked, "Why have we never seen anyone guarding us on the way in and out?"
"Little Taoist Priest, you don't know." The Dragon King gritted his teeth and said, "The Han family left four subdued sea monsters around this island to guard the four directions. They usually don't show up."
"Just like the direction you came from, the guardian there is an ancient shy fish. This shy fish is extremely strange. Although it is naturally powerful, it is shy to see people. It usually hides on the seabed. If someone approaches, it will stir up a big wave to scare the other person away."
"Unless someone uses divine sense to explore the seabed and keeps staring at it, it will become angry and show up to attack."
"But it's different for me. As long as I leave this island, the shy fish will immediately float to the surface and keep me at all costs. This is the mark that the Han family left in their souls."
"So you guys can come and go as you please, but I have to defeat it to leave."
"Forehead……"
Li Chu blinked and organized his words.
"In fact, that shy fish...may be dead." He said slowly.
“Hmm?” The Dragon King was startled, then laughed, “What a joke, that kind of sea monster can live for more than a thousand years, unless it meets a master who kills it…”
As he spoke, his smile suddenly froze.
Then, he suddenly stepped forward and held Li Chu's hand: "Brother...you don't mean..."
Li Chu nodded slightly. "When I first came here, I used a method similar to divine consciousness to observe the seabed in the storm. Then it suddenly got angry and blocked our way..."
"I was wondering why at the time, I never thought it was because it was really shy..."
"I had no choice but to... kill him."
"this……"
The Dragon King was awed by what he heard. He had already thought highly of this young Taoist priest, but he had not expected this.
His true strength is actually even higher.
Killing the ancient shame fish is not that easy, but he said it so casually.
It was as if in his opinion, this was not really a very difficult thing to do.
It’s a bit... scary.
…
When we returned from Yongle Island, it was already getting late.
As soon as I walked into the gate of Deyun Temple, I saw it was full of people.
There were men, women, young and old, of all kinds, and in stark contrast to the usual scene, they all looked exhausted.
Li Chu was a little confused and walked forward.
Yu Qian'an was in the middle of the crowd trying to comfort everyone. When he saw him come back, he quickly called him over.
Upon asking, I found out that these were villagers from Xialiu Village on the banks of Liuhua River.
They came here because there seemed to be an evil spirit in the village.
This evil spirit does not hurt anyone, but it has a different kind of evilness.
In the past few nights, whenever the villagers fell asleep, they would dream of a wet woman who said to them in a very cold voice: "There is someone under the water--"
Usually, as soon as this sentence is said, the villagers will be frightened awake.
At first, some people thought it was just an ordinary nightmare, but soon, it spread to every household.
Almost everyone in most of their village had this dream every night. It was the same woman, speaking the same words to them in the same voice.
"There are people underwater..."
