"'Five Rams Dance in Chu Ting', I never thought that I would be able to witness it in person..."

"In the final analysis, whether it's Jiaogui or Wuyang, it's just a title. There are countless names collected in our sect's classics. After all, they are just excuses for future generations. But I didn't expect that Master Jiang could actually

The hole is so clear, I can even guess what happened thousands of years ago."

Ying Laodao slowly spoke words of praise, but he was a little frightened by Jiang Wen's questions, "Jiao ghosts were born more than once, and they were painted by people sent by the King of Chu as early as the Zhou Dynasty. Liang Guangzhou Office of the Jin Dynasty

The "Statue of Five Rams Carrying Grains" hanging on it has been hidden on Luofu Mountain for many years. When I saw it, I was frightened and couldn't sleep at night. I didn't dare to open it again for decades."

"You must know that there are many ancient relics collected in Luofu Mountain, and I have browsed through some of them in my early years. Therefore, when the teacher took me to see them, I thought they were just some weird beasts. I thought that even if there were something with a body like a bucket,

Strangely thick pythons, fish and turtles with stripes like tiger skin all over their bodies, and oxen with huge heads like extremely ferocious tigers, they may not surprise me at all."

"But when I saw the Statue of Five Rams Holding a Grain, I only saw stains that were as dirty as splashed ink. Only after careful inspection did I realize that the thick ink was actually someone's deliberate act.

In other words, the lines are messy, fearful and helpless.”

"Behind the thick ink of the painting, there is an extremely huge monster, twisting and turning in the water. Its huge body is covered with gray and white streaks. It is almost larger than the pottery urn containing grain. It is probably dozens of feet long.

The five heads are intertwined and even weirder - if you look closely, the head and face look like an ugly human face, with only two sinister tentacles on the head, and a mane that is more than ten feet long on the neck.

If you close your eyes, you can dream of the monster in the picture moving slowly and freely, paying no attention to it, looking up and down as if it were nothing!"

"These things are absurd and unruly. Head Jiang, it is understandable for you to question Lao Cao because of this, but I can swear to God that apart from the matters related to our sect's orthodoxy, this incident has not been fully revealed. Luo Yuantong knows all the other things. Lao Cao is absolutely

No deception or deceit!"

After talking about his heart palpitations, Ying Laodao was still held tightly by Jiang Wen's collar, but his expression was not disturbed at all. He immediately stretched out his finger and swore to God, saying that he had no ill intentions, and the situation reached a deadlock for a while.

Jiang Wen naturally also knew that if the other party really intended to murder, there was no need to protect himself when he was in the Luo Mansion, let alone return this time and put himself on such a dangerous edge.

But Jiang Wen had no time to pay attention at this time, and his cold tone only showed one thing - he needed all the answers.

"Senior Ying, since the day he stepped into Guangzhou Mansion, Jiang has sensed the aura of alienation from everything. This was the case when he was pursuing Southern Shaolin, he was participating in the Golden Pen Washing Ceremony, he was happy to hear about the assassination, and he was suppressing the Jiaogui today.

Even more so! I can ignore other things, but there must be no ambiguity about suppressing the Jiaogui!"

Recalling this trip to Guangzhou, Jiang Wen's doubts had not diminished at all from beginning to end. The dense cobwebs in front of him were layer after layer, and he couldn't see clearly what was really underneath.

Investigating the root cause, it should be that since the search for traces of Southern Shaolin, Jiang Wen has been separated by an invisible net. Everyone seems to be hiding it from him. No matter how close he has been to the truth, sometimes he clearly senses that the shadow is there.

He was only one step behind the screen, but when he suddenly looked back, he was thousands of miles away.

It was only now that Jiang Wen finally understood that the original martial arts rules and martial arts methods in Guangzhou City had been tampered with by others to the point of seeming false. The closer he got, the further he was pushed away. This was clearly a kind of situation that everyone knew but everyone knew.

What is left unsaid can be summed up in four words - "It has nothing to do with you."

"Master Jiang, as the old man said before, a thousand people in the world have a thousand thoughts. No matter how they are like-minded and have a close relationship in life and death at the beginning, standing in front of glory, wealth, gold, silver and silk, they will inevitably become alienated. Then retreat.

Even if everyone can stick to their opinions until death, there will always be people who drift away and turn against each other until they die."

Ying Laodao sighed and raised his eyes to look into the distance, "I only understood this matter after reading thousands of sails, but by then everything was too late, but the lesson must never be forgotten. Nowadays, the ups and downs of grievances and resentments in Guangzhou city are spread out into a big net, among which of course

It’s because I tried my best to plan, but ultimately it’s because in this city, the only real way out is for everyone to do their own thing.”

Ying Laodao, who had a narrow face and sparse hair, looked at Jiang Wen with a strange look.

"Actually, we can all see that your heart is not here. In the past, Guangzhou Mansion could accommodate tens of thousands of people like you, Master Jiang, but in today's Guangzhou City, tens of thousands of idle clouds and wild cranes like you can't accommodate

No one dares to believe it.”

"Headmaster Jiang, you feel that everyone is guarding you and hiding from you because you are always staring at other people's positions, just like a spider running to pluck the web weaved by others, you will naturally only be guarded against. Now in Guangzhou City

The way to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy is very simple - if you are really one of us, you will naturally find your own position and do your own thing without distraction..."

Jiang Wen slowly let go. He knew that Ying Laodao was not lying, but he had no purpose in coming to Guangzhou. He was as confused as when he came to this world. The cause of the feeling of alienation and estrangement was revealed, and Jiang Wen also

I couldn't help but laugh, but what followed was an even stronger sense of absurdity in my heart.

If what Ying Laodao said is true, everyone in the city is thinking from the bottom of their stomachs at this time. He himself probably doesn’t know what others are thinking. Is this a way to go his own way? They are just fighting on their own, how can they win?

Are you glad that the Pingnan King's army is united?

The evil waves in the sea surged again, this time crashing towards the shore in an even more terrifying manner, stirring up thousands of turbid waves and vast expanse of black snow, swallowing up the already narrow coast in front of the Nanhai Ancient Temple.

The figures who had just arrived at the beach were bullied, and a few black spots like flies were swept away in an instant and fell into the boiling and angry sea. Even their dragon boat, which was firmly tied to the shore, was swept into the sea.

But before they had time to worry, the turbid waves on the South China Sea suddenly opened up, and a dark and shabby old dragon suddenly emerged from the water. The desolate and mottled boat body was full of traces of wind and waves, but it could survive the waves for a long time.

It was new, not weak at all, and the boat even showed a unique luster that belonged to a living creature. It swam and jumped like a spiritual creature entering the sea, raising its head and swaying its tail, leaping vertically and horizontally among the increasingly terrifying thunderclouds and rainstorms.

Ever since the old dragon stood up and took over the helm when more than a dozen people came aboard, this ancient dragon boat has truly transformed into an invincible dragon. The dragon boat that was originally half-dead in the hands of Jiang Wen and his party can now break through the waves as soon as it enters the sea.

, infected with the unparalleled vitality given by the Dan people. Fu Ningdie and Yuan Ziyi widened their eyes, repeatedly confirming that what they saw in front of them was not an illusion, but why could this old dragon fly so fast on the water, almost turning into a flying sky?

The dragon snake!

The thunder clouds undulated like drums, and the young and strong villagers issued uniform orders, simply taking off their tattered clothes, revealing their skin and muscles that had been tempered for a long time. None of them could be considered strong and powerful, but all of them had tattoos on their faces and the like.

The son of the dragon, today, is really like this old dragon. As long as there is a trace of rain and waves on his body, even if he is skinny, he still shows an unshakable appearance of copper and iron. The red light flashes from the tattoo and flies towards the place where Luo Shuang'er fell into the water.

go.

Five dark clouds with extremely low covering pressure still linger on the sea surface, like the lingering haze on this sea area. They look one way in the eyes of outsiders, but they look another way in Jiang Wen's eyes, a series of strange shadows.

Abruptly set against the backdrop of this sunless world, the strange and bizarre shapes at first were more like the shells they were born in. Now they slowly lose their strangeness and gradually dissolve into this world, until they turn into wind and rain and soaring hurricanes, becoming the sea and sky.

eternal disaster.

The gangsters went through many difficulties and finally arrived at the spot where Luo Shuang'er fell into the water. They kept circling, with red eyes and chests pounding and roaring that shocked the surrounding area. However, no one went into the water to investigate. It was more like they were waiting for an opportunity.

Yuan Ziyi said eagerly: "Why don't they save people?"

"Don't be impatient. There is a rule in fishing for people in the water. You must sink and float three times before taking action. Now that Miss Luo has fallen into the water and there is no movement, the people are helpless even if they are capable, unless they take the risk of going into the water to fight the ghosts themselves."

In the eyes of outsiders, Jiaogui is just a collection of wind and rain in the sky and undercurrents under the water. Now entering the water is obviously a dead end. Ying Laodao looked at the scene on the water and said with worry, "It doesn't look like Miss Luo has been there for a long time."

How can a person who is determined to die have no intention of struggling out of the water? It seems that there is something strange under the water..."

Jiang Wen frowned and said, "What's strange under the water? Don't you even know about it?"

"Master Jiang, the 'Five Rams Dance in Chu Ting' you mentioned was a strange thing that happened once in hundreds of years. Now that the dragon ghosts have transformed into five places, the dangers under the water have become even more dangerous. It is almost unimaginable.

There’s no guarantee what will happen…”

Encountering an unplanned situation, no matter how wise a person is, he will inevitably hesitate and hesitate. Ying Laodao looked at the seaside with worry, and pointed at the people riding boats in the waves,

"In addition to repaying kindness, the Dan people may have a deep meaning in staying here. In this world, if there is anyone who can do anything, it is probably the Dan people who are leaving across the sea. Just like in the late Song Dynasty.

As always, they have to come after all..."

Until now, Luo Shuang'er had fallen into the water for a long time, but no one could see her figure from the water. Black clouds were shrouded in the sky, and the fierce waves of the bad water seemed to have their own magic power, trying their best to repel the villagers as usual.

Entering the water to rescue people, several villagers who were well versed in the nature of water poked their heads out of the water, gasping for air and holding on to the bow of the boat. Their helpless eyes said everything.

The Dan people above the old dragon looked at each other, and finally, as if they had made up their minds, they took out a curved snake hairpin about an inch long from their waists and threw it to the Dan people in the water. The leading Dan people did not hesitate.

The ground pierced the skin in front of the chest, and the hot blood was spilled on the cold and biting water. Then there was another fierce plunge into the water, followed by the sound of jumping into the water one after another. It was obvious that the people had begun to fight desperately.

.

…………

The ripples created countless hallucinations, the heavy sounds were suddenly separated, and the quietest cotton was poured into both ears. I barely opened my eyes and saw only an inch long algae in the water, as soft as a bone.

Swinging in the gradually darkening vision.

A few beams of light above the head shyly passed through the green grass, piercing diagonally into the bottomless scene. They could only illuminate the dense mud shadows in front of them, while the lower part was as quiet as a soft and comfortable place.

The bed quietly blocked the inextricable chaos outside the world, and then closed the curtain thoughtfully and comfortably for the tired guest.

Luo Shuang'er is slowly sinking to the bottom of the water. Her waist is as slender and soft as a swimming fish, and her clothes turn into fins. The nature of the water allows her to swim in this unexpectedly calm place, but her body is sinking deeper into the water.

It's like walking into a peaceful dream.

Perhaps everyone has had a dream of transforming into Jinlin, and time is silent here. It is like a pair of invisible hands quietly holding the hour and minute hands, preventing time from continuing to flow. Only the heartbeat synchronized with the second hand is still there.

The rhythm is precise and futile, everything is accompanied by the aimless second hand that keeps turning in circles, unable to break free from this empty body, and it also turns into a period of empty time that cannot be walked out.

Luo Shuang'er's heart was as empty as a mirror. She had forgotten the cause and effect, and the seven emotions and six desires she usually studied had disappeared. At this time, her heart was so empty, like a hollow valley surrounded by other worlds, and every sound she made could be heard.

The resounding sound lasted so long that the emotions that were normally unobservable in her heart were suddenly amplified and brought to her eyes.

For so long, she had almost forgotten the existence of "herself" because of her martial arts practice.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In such emptiness, Luo Shuang'er thought of the vast night beside Dongting Lake, the moonlight was like water, and there were a few crows accompanying the fishermen floating towards the sky.

During the song, there was also a period of moonlight that was so clear that it turned into jasper, shining all over the mountains and rivers of Junshan in Dongting.

Before the ups and downs of emotions, there are always memories, and the thoughts become clearer and clearer as they reverberate. Often at these times, just before the sunrise, when the morning glow and the shadows of the trees complement each other, with the slowly rising sun, the world is immersed in one.

The ever-changing orange color is so beautiful. If you are alone on a bright moon night, with a strange sense of ritual, admiring the moonlight in the Dongting alone, the bright moon is in the sky, and the shadows of the trees under the moon are so quiet.

Like an ink painting.

At these times, Luo Shuang'er, who was watching, would secretly untie the boat rope, sit barefoot on the bow of the boat and raise the water with her bare feet, watching the water surface that was about to become silent start to ripple again, and the traces of the boat unknowingly break into the green water.

, then finally let the bright moon, as clear as a mirror, hide in the water, and let the moonlight turn into sections of cool breeze flowing in the heart.

Nowadays, no one knows that before coming to Dongting, Luo Shuang'er was most afraid of water, and what she wanted to stay away from the most was the bottomless lake and sea. The servants in the mansion only knew their own young lady, even if they were only close to the dark water tank at home.

, would be cried and hugged away, leaving only Luo Yuantong with a sad face next to him.

Luo Shuang'er, who left home and came to Dongting Lake, had to be with the vast expanse of blue waves and sparkling waves every day. The master who taught her kung fu took her on a awning boat, untied the cable and pushed her into the water, telling her:
