Chapter 175 is released today, a hero saves a beauty! ...
She hadn't paid much attention the last time she entered the Yuan River, but this time she had time to take a closer look at the scenery under the water.
Underwater, there were algae and water plants intertwined, and schools of fish and shrimps. It was not as Yanzi had said that there was nothing there.
Could it be that when Yan Zi came, these fish and shrimps hid and only appeared when she went into the water?
That's weird.
Wen Yu held her breath in her heart, not completely relaxed. Although she didn't know where the legendary spring grass grew, she felt as if she was vaguely guided by something, leading her all the way to deeper parts of the Yuan River.
The further down you go, the colder it gets.
The river water, which was baked warm by the sun during the day, lost its last bit of warmth after nightfall, and now only endless coldness remains.
Wen Yu held his breath and concentrated, not daring to slack off in the slightest, and slowly moved underwater.
She was protected by her master's divine breath, so she was naturally not afraid of walking or staying underwater. However, it was so dark down there, without any light at all, which was really a bit creepy.
In the past, when she was in the Temple of Spring, the place was full of divine energy and bright spiritual light.
Even Song Linsheng's Song residence faces south and has excellent feng shui.
She had never seen such a dark, damp and sunlight-free scene before. She was afraid that it was even comparable to the underworld.
"This is……"
It was difficult to distinguish the sun and the moon underwater. After an unknown amount of time, Wen Yu was finally guided by the mysterious power and came to an extremely flat place.
Wen Yu murmured, "To think there was something so unique and ingenious underwater..."
No, this place doesn't look like a naturally formed landscape. Rather, it looks like a formation carefully carved by someone...?
Wen Yu couldn't be sure either, so he had to slowly move closer to check.
Almost in an instant, the huge vegetation located in the center of the formation appeared before Wen Yu's eyes.
Is it...Chunpeng grass?
Wen Yu was skeptical. The spring amaranth that she had been looking for for so long seemed to be a bit vague and unclear when it finally appeared before her eyes.
Its branches and leaves are stretched out, flowing like clouds along the waves underwater. Against the backdrop of moonlight, they are colorful and vivid, just like an emerald green gem that catches the eye.
Its body is so huge that it occupies a very large area. Even fish dare not get close to its leaves, making it look even more magnificent.
"Gorgeous and luxuriant," it truly lived up to these four words, Wen Yu thought to herself.
But the location of the spring amaranth is not difficult to find, so why didn’t Yanzi find any trace of it just now?
Could it be that this spring grass had been hiding until she came and showed up?
Wen Yu was guessing and at the same time she felt amused by her own wild imagination. She had never met this spring grass before, so why would it need to play hide-and-seek with her?
She was not in a hurry. Now that she had found the spring grass that Lord Mu had mentioned, she had to take a closer look at it.
Wen Yu slowly walked around the spring amaranth, but didn't see anything special.
This spring amaranth is larger and more lush than the algae vegetation near the water, but there is no other difference.
even……
Wen Yu placed one hand on the leaves of the spring amaranth, then closed her eyes and quietly felt the leaves sliding across her palm along the water.
There didn't seem to be any fluctuation of spiritual power.
Could it be that... this spring amaranth has no life?
Wen Yu tilted her head and glanced at him in surprise. Could it be that she was wrong?
Since it is recorded in the prefecture and county chronicles, and even a little demon like Yanzi has heard of it, then this spring grass should be at least hundreds or thousands of years old. How come it hasn't developed any intelligence yet?
Wen Yu was completely baffled. Moreover... even if it was really just an ordinary spring grass with no intelligence...
Wen Yu looked up at the distant water surface. How did it entangle the yamen runners who were clearing the silt on the river surface and drag them into the water?
She spread out her palms and watched quietly as the leaves gently stirred the water. Although they were lush, they were not big enough to reach the water surface, let alone wrap around people like they had eyes.
How strange! How strange!
Wen Yu and Chun Pengcao looked at each other in silence under the water, while Song Linsheng and Yan Zi on the shore were arguing fiercely.
"Master Song! Brother Song! Song Linsheng!" Yan Zi shouted, twisting Song Lin in various ways and refusing to let go. "You can't go! You can't go!"
"Yanzi, let go!" Song Linsheng was not shaken at all. He held the Qingsu jade ring in his hand and went straight to the Yuan River.
"Don't you know how to swim? If I let you go, that woman will come up and tear me apart!" Yan Zi did not give in.
He wouldn't be so stupid as to ask Song Linsheng to "save" someone. Who is Wen Yu! She's a great demon! Why would a mortal like him need to save her?
"Xiaoyu has been in the water for a long time and hasn't come out yet. I'm worried that she's in danger. I'll go down and check!" Song Linsheng grabbed Yanzi's hands with both hands, trying to peel him off his body.
"No! I won't agree!" Yan Zi held Song Linsheng tightly, not letting go, and kept talking, "Don't worry, nothing will happen, it really won't happen."
"How could it be? The water is extremely cold at night, icy cold. Even if there is no danger, people can't stand such low temperature for a long time. If they fall into a coma, they will die!" Song Linsheng's chest was heaving and his voice was hurried. He didn't bother to explain all these things to Yanzi, and rushed forward.
"I know, I know, but Wenyu may not want you to put yourself in danger, Lord Song! Brother Song!" Yanzi couldn't stop wailing.
He knew that his words were pale and his persuasion was powerless. Now Wenyu had been in the water for a long time without even a bubble. Who knew if she was dead or alive? Song Linsheng's worry was not unreasonable.
But, even a little demon like him can move freely under water, let alone Wen Yu’s level of cultivation?
But Wen Yu obviously did not tell Song Linsheng the truth about being a demon, so he naturally would not and could not tell her.
Just when Yanzi was silently watching her nose, Song Linsheng accidentally seized the opportunity to escape. When Yanzi raised her head to chase him, she heard a plop -
Song Linsheng fell into the water, and even the corner of his moon-white clothes disappeared.
"Song Linsheng!" Yan Zi was furious, but helpless, so she could only jump uncontrollably on the shore.
What should I do? If anything happened to Song Linsheng, Wen Yu would have to find a good burial site for him!
Yanzi thought for a moment and immediately prepared to jump into the water to save people.
"Yanzi! What are you doing?"
These words were like a sharp arrow pointing directly at Yanzi's feet, making him stop in his tracks.
It is to wash the inkstone.
"Xiyan...Brother, that." Yan Zi couldn't help but relax a little when she saw that the person coming was Xiyan, but then she became even more nervous, "That's your son fell into the water!"
Yanzi raised her hand and pointed at the Yuanshui River and Xiyan.
A breeze suddenly arose, and the waves on the river surface surged, but it set off an inexplicable silence, and it didn't look like anyone had just entered the water.
But Xiyan's face showed no sign of panic or worry, and he didn't even quicken his pace.
This time it was Yanzi's turn to be dumbfounded. As if he couldn't believe it, he added, "Brother Xiyan, I mean your son went into the water to look for Madam Wen!"
Xiyan didn't know where he had tied his horse, and he just came back at this time. When he walked in front of Yanzi, he still looked calm.
"Don't worry!" Xiyan put his arm around Yanzi's shoulders and patted her soothingly. "I can hear you, so there's no need to be so loud."
"No." Yan Zi's face was even more shocked than before. She twisted her shoulders and broke free from Xiyan's hand. "Isn't your young master not good at swimming?"
It's still not too late to rush down and rescue people now. If you keep saying "don't worry, don't worry", I'm afraid that after a few rounds, you can just go home and have a meal.
Yanzi's throat choked, but he didn't know how to make it clear. He had made his identity clear to Song Linsheng and Wen Yu, but with Brother Xiyan... it seemed inconvenient to explain in detail.
Unlike Yanzi's anxiety, Xiyan remained calm and composed, which was very similar to Song Lin's usual demeanor.
"Yanzi, I don't know how long it has been since the young master couldn't swim." Xiyan said mysteriously, with a sense of pride in his tone.
Yanzi raised her eyebrows, not wanting to agree. Just now Wenyu said that Song Linsheng couldn't water, but how come it became nonsense when it came out of Brother Xiyan's mouth?
He was skeptical, but did not refute it.
Xiyan knew that Yanzi didn't believe him, but he still pulled Yanzi over, pulled him to sit on the river bank, and made promises to him solemnly.
"Yanzi, you don't know, ever since Madam Wen got into trouble on the banks of the Yuanshui River last time, the young master has been extremely resentful of his own inability to swim, his own inability to help, and even more so, the fact that he nearly killed Madam Wen."
Xiyan became more and more excited as he spoke, and even an inexplicable smile appeared on his face, as if he was very fascinated.
Yan Zi pulled the corners of her lips stiffly, giving a reluctant response.
What does this have to do with that...
Xiyan was just concentrating on what he said, not paying any attention to Yanzi's expression.
"Since then, the young master has been practicing duckling regularly, just in case Madam Wen encounters an unexpected event and he is left helpless."
"It's been a while now, and your skills have improved. Don't worry, Yanzi, there will be no problem."
He wasn't worried! He just hoped that the young master would successfully rescue Madam Wen, that Madam Wen would be deeply moved, and then...
Xiyan closed his eyes and tried to calm himself down so as not to lose his composure in front of Yanzi.
"Ahem." Xiyan straightened his expression, pointed to a certain spot on the river, and said to Yanzi expectantly:
"Just wait and see, today on the banks of the Yuan River, a hero will save a beautiful girl!"
"..." Yan Zi remained silent. He didn't even have the intention to smile.
I just hope nothing happens to that woman and Song Linsheng.
Yanzi glanced at the inkstone beside her, then looked at the water surface.
It goes without saying that Brother Xiyan usually does things properly, thoughtfully and meticulously, but why does he seem unreliable when it comes to the matter of his young master and Wen Yu?
The night wind blew, making the corners of Yanzi and Xiyan's clothes rustle. On the deserted banks of the Yuanshui River, the sound was particularly harsh, like the sound of breaking air.
After an unknown amount of time, Yanzi felt increasingly depressed. Even Xiyan, who was beaming beside her, realized the seriousness of the situation and lost his previous smile.
However, both of them tacitly kept silent, letting the surroundings grow quieter and quieter.
A "crash" sound broke the endless silence.
A gap was torn in the calm surface of the Yuanshui River, and fresh air rushed in. The sky and the earth seemed to have color again, and the sound of wind was finally heard in the ears.
After all, Yanzi is a tree demon, so naturally he is quicker-eyed, quicker-handed, and more sharp-eyed and sharper-eared than Xiyan.
He immediately stood up from the riverbank, as if afraid that no one would notice him, and raised his arms and shouted: "Wen Yu——"
