Hanging Bridge Sword (Part 2)

Xu Changan and Li Dao left as soon as they watched the girl enter the house.

They found an inn and then settled in. Xiaobai came back from the river. It jumped in through the window, its claws were wet. I don’t know why this little guy was afraid of water for it to take a bath, and he was not afraid of water when catching fish.

Xiaobai seemed a little depressed, jumped into Xu Changan's room, regardless of whether his claws were wet, and then lay beside Xu Changan's pillow.

"What's wrong? I'm not happy to catch the fish?"

Xiaobai naturally would not tell Xu Changan that he thought of the old black cat without [                                                                                                                      

Xiaobai nodded. Xu Changan, combined with the matter of He Bo, must have been strange in the water.

Xiaobai has the bloodline of ancient divine beasts and absorbs a trace of dragon blood, and his perception is terrible. Therefore, Xiaobai will basically not make mistakes.

Xiaobai glanced at Xu Changan and lay down to sleep.

Li Daoyi's door rang, and Xu Changan first talked about this matter to Li Daoyi.

...

The next day, the wind was not dry and the air was very comfortable. The last few red glows of this year hung in the sky, which looked a bit like the shy faces of girls.

A man wearing a yellow Taoist robe was surrounded by everyone, with two beards on his lips. If it weren't for this yellow Taoist robe, he would definitely be a treacherous and cunning person. Several large villages on both sides of the shore were lively, with flowing mats from noon to night, from the beginning to the end of the village.

There was only one person who was hungry, and she could only drink water and her stomach was empty. No matter whether He Bo married her or ate her, the villagers did not allow her to have dirt in her stomach. This was what the monk said.

When she heard the excitement outside the door, many people hypocritically said "congratulations" to their father. If this matter happened to them, I was afraid that I would not be able to say this congratulations.

Suddenly the door was opened, and she was a little scared. Her parents reacted very quickly and hurriedly pushed the toast open and walked in.

The girl looked at the man who came in and was a beggar.

When the beggar saw her, he stamped his feet and said, "Look, I just said she will come back!"

The girl's parents saw the beggar clearly and recognized it as the beggar who comforted them last night. After discussing for a while, they took out some broken silver and handed it to the beggar.

"Thank you, I'm here to offer this kind of dedication."

The beggar grinned his teeth, took the broken silver, curled his lips, felt a little dissatisfied, and still had a smile on his face. Compared with the broken silver last night, the two hundred taels of silver bills were like a big witch.

"Can I go and have a water mat?" the beggar asked suddenly, patting his stomach, and his stomach also cooperated and shouted twice.

It was getting late at this time, and most people had finished their meals, and they all went to prepare bamboo rafts and firecrackers, and there were fewer people eating the running water mat. The man thought about it and nodded.

When the beggar heard this, he was so happy that he danced with joy, like a child jumping out of the door.

But the girl always felt that the beggar looked at him the moment he went out.

Xu Chang'an and Li Daoyi stood on a high place, watching the lively river bank.

When Xu Changan saw a figure, he was a little surprised: "It's him?"

"Who?" Li Dao asked consciously.

"No one, a familiar beggar." Li Daoyi didn't care about this, just looked at the flowing water mat below and shook his head.

...

Gongs and drums are loud and firecrackers are ringing.

As night was about to fall, the mage in a yellow Taoist robe held a peach wood sword and recited the mantra that Li Daoyi, a Taoist disciple, could not understand, and was full of words.

After a fancy ceremony, the people tied the girl to a bamboo raft, surrounded by a circle of flowers, and the periphery of the flowers was some sacrifices.

She has never been so beautiful, but maybe this time only.

All the flowers beside her were not as beautiful as the purple flowers blooming in her hands last night. She was pushed down from the water and could not see everything around her. She could only look at the dark sky and cheers from acquaintances came to her ears.

Tears fell from the corner of her eyes.

Seeing her floating on the river, the people went back, no one cared about her, and no one looked at her. They were only concerned about the good harvest in the next two years.

Xu Changan and Li Daoyi stared at the river.

It's late at night.

Even in the south, the wind is a little cold.

Bamboo rafts floated on the river. Strangely, the bamboo rafts did not follow the water and headed towards the sea, but instead stopped in the middle of the river.

The lights of thousands of families dim, and the cats and dogs fell asleep.

At this time, the sound of water flowing came, and Xu Changan and Li Daoyi hid on the shore and were shocked.

Under the moonlight, a head poked out of the water, like a snake but not a snake, like a dragon in the painting, but without its horns.

Xu Changan had already held the sword and was ready to take a blow at any time.

The girl naturally heard the sound, smelled a fishy smell, and even a heavy breathing sound. She was so scared that she wanted to shout, but she had no strength and could not make any sound.

Under the moonlight, the monster that looked like a dragon but not a dragon opened its mouth and headed towards the girl. There was saliva connected between the upper and lower jaws, which was like a pulling silver thread under the moonlight.

The purple light and red light suddenly shook in front of the girl. Li Daoyi took advantage of the monster's inattention and rescued the girl from its mouth.

The monster suddenly roared, and his tail flicked, and a large splash of water appeared. Taking advantage of the splash, he bit Xu Chang'an.

At this moment, a sword suddenly appeared on the bamboo raft, located next to the girl just now.

The sword emitted a bronze color mixed with white light, standing quietly in the air. When the monster saw the sword, a hint of fear appeared in his eyes, and immediately escaped into the water and disappeared!

Xu Changan looked at the sword and was extremely surprised.

I saw this sword last night. He thought the beggar was fooling him, but today he saw the intimidation of this sword!

To be honest, he will definitely suffer if he fights monsters in the water on the surface!

In a daze, a sound came from his ears.

"My friend, thank you for the silver last night. Also, I will solve this problem perfectly. You please soothe the woman's emotions, take her some food, and let her sit back on the bamboo raft before dawn."

Xu Changan recognized the voice, turned his head to look, but could not see anyone. Turning his head again, the sword headed towards the shore!

...

On the shore, a beggar grinned his teeth and smiled, then shook his head, and said in confusion: "Why does this little guy have a faint smell of the sea emperor?"
