Chapter 1854 This Monster Was an Old Acquaintance

The Taoist priest smiled and said, "Are you Zeng Yong, the young master of Huizhou Tianying Fort?"

Zeng Yong was suddenly shocked!

"It is me, the Taoist priest is...?"

The middle-aged Taoist priest smiled and said, "I am the leader of the Qingcheng Sect, Yu Qingzi!"

Zeng Yong was startled, and immediately clasped his fists and said, "I didn't expect that it was Master Yuqingzi who came. I hope you will forgive me for not welcoming you from afar!"

"Master Zeng, you are joking. I am sorry to bother you by coming here uninvited!"

"Why are you here...?"

"Yesterday, my Qingcheng disciple was purchasing salt in the city and accidentally found the three carriages. He just glanced at it casually, but inadvertently recognized this friend from the Western Regions. The main reason was that his hair was golden and his skin was white. He stood out in the vast crowd and was unforgettable. So the Qingcheng disciple guessed that Young Master Feng Jiuxiao was very likely to be in the carriage. He secretly observed and waited. As a result, Young Master Feng actually came out of the carriage. He was overjoyed and immediately went up the mountain to inform me! In order not to disturb the young master's rest at night, we went down the mountain this morning to the barracks to pay a visit to Young Master Feng, but unexpectedly we came up empty-handed. Hearing that the young masters had come to Cuiyue Lake, we rushed here from the barracks!"

Zeng Yong said: "So, the Taoist priest and Jiuxiao are old acquaintances?" He knew that the Qingcheng Sect was one of the allies of the Mountain Alliance and thought that the two sides should know each other.

Yu Qingzi said: "Haha, I am just a spiritual friend of Young Master Feng, and have never met him! But many of my disciples in Qingcheng Sect are old acquaintances of Young Master Feng! Young Master Zeng, have you forgotten that Young Master Feng and Young Master Zeng have done a favor to my Qingcheng Sect? Back then in Furong Tower, Madam Wei summoned heroes from all over the world to avenge her husband..."

Zeng Yong immediately understood why the other party was bowing! That year, he and Feng Jiuxiao teamed up to deal with the masters of Lingxiao City and rescued the disciples of Qingcheng Sect at the same time!

No wonder Yu Qingzi was so polite to me, it turned out that he still remembered the kindness I had shown him!

"So, Taoist priest, do you want to talk to Jiu Xiao about something?"

"Yes, there is something going on! Since you are all standing here looking forward to the center of the lake, I believe that Young Master Feng has already gone to the lake to kill the monsters, right?"

"Yes, Taoist priest, I heard that your sect has also sent disciples here before?"

"I have been here! Unfortunately, three of my Qingcheng disciples have already lost their lives! There are countless seriously injured people!!"

"Three people died? I'm sorry, Taoist priest, please accept my condolences! Taoist priest, do you know what kind of monster that water monster is?"

"To be precise, it should be a giant alligator dragon!"

"Alligator? Doesn't it look similar to a crocodile?"

"Not bad!"

"This giant you're talking about seems to be very large. How big is it?"

"Even if it lies there, it's probably taller than us! I heard from my surviving disciples that the crocodile dragon is conservatively estimated to be ten feet long."

Pang Shiwu suddenly asked, "My eldest brother was wondering just now. He said that there are so many fish under the lake that they can't eat them all. Why does it want to eat humans? Is human flesh more delicious than fish meat?" Then he added, "He didn't say the last sentence!"

Yu Qingzi looked solemn: "It's a long story! In fact, Young Master Feng has seen this crocodile dragon before, so we are old acquaintances!"

Pang Shiwu was surprised and asked, "Big Brother and I have been together for quite a while. When did he see the alligator? Why don't I have any impression of it?"

Yu Qingzi said: "I am not very clear about the specific situation. Whether you and Young Master Feng were together that time, I, a disciple of Qingcheng, have no impression! Anyway, I was seriously injured and recuperating in Qingcheng at that time. My condition did not improve at all. After many twists and turns, I invited the genius doctor Huayan. He said that there was a thousand-year-old crocodile in the Yangtze River, and its bile could cure me! So the four disciples of Qingcheng, Wensong, Zipu, Qiutong, and Hanbai, searched along the river for several months, and finally found the thousand-year-old crocodile one day! But on the way, they met Tang Jue, the third son of the Tang Clan in Shu. He wanted to interfere, but fortunately Young Master Feng took action in time..."

Pang Shiwu said: "I helped you get back the thousand-year-old alligator dragon in time?"

Yu Qingzi smiled and said, "On the contrary, Young Master Feng released the thousand-year-old alligator dragon!"

Pang Shiwu looked puzzled: "Release him? Why? Doesn't he know you guys want to save him?"

Yu Qingzi smiled and said, "I heard that Young Master Feng's fiancée saw the thousand-year-old crocodile was trapped and was injured all over. She looked miserable and couldn't bear it, so she asked Young Master Feng to let it go."

Pang Shiwu whispered, "It's so soft before we even get married, how can it get hard in the future?"

Yu Qingzi was startled and asked, "What?"

Pang Shiwu smiled and said, "Nothing! By the way, the Taoist priest said that the thousand-year-old crocodile was injured all over? What kind of treasure did you use to make it injured all over?" In his understanding, if you want to catch a crocodile, you either have to put a noose around its neck, hook its body, or entangle its legs and feet. How could it be possible to make it injured all over? Chopping and slashing wildly?

Yu Qingzi explained, "The thousand-year-old crocodile dragon is covered in armor and is invulnerable to swords and spears. We went to great lengths to get the 'Fire Silk Net' from someone else. As the name suggests, this net is made of silk spit out by the fire silkworms on the Flame Mountain in the Western Regions. The silk may look ordinary, but it contains the power of innate lightning and fire, which is specifically used to restrain water monsters, especially fish. If you touch it, it's like being struck by lightning, and your whole body seems to be burned by magma. The pain is unbearable and you can only surrender!"

"Having a lightning net on your body is like being burned by magma. Just thinking about it is painful enough. The crocodile dragon must be in great pain! But if you are let go, won't your injury be incurable? Oh? Oh, by the way, my eldest brother must have given you something else as a replacement, right? In fact, he only has a few kinds of things, either golden dragon gall, ice crocodile blood, or blue rhinoceros tooth. Which one did he give you?"

"Yes……"

"If you don't want to tell me, forget it!"

"Young man, you misunderstood. I didn't know what it was at the time. It was emerald green, like amber."

"Oh, ice crocodile blood!"

“After you mentioned that today, I realized that what Young Hero Tianfeng gave me… was actually… the rare and precious Ice Crocodile Blood! I was just… shocked…” When the young man in front of me mentioned Golden Dragon Gallbladder, Ice Crocodile Blood, and Green Rhinoceros Card, he was as casual as a child talking about the candy beans in his pocket. Is he trying to piss someone off to death?

"Oh, that's what's going on. What's there to be shocked about? My elder brother has a lot of them." All the Taoists behind Yu Qingzi had strange expressions on their faces, and they were all shocked in their hearts!

Pang Shiwu said, "The Taoist priest said that the water monster in this lake is the thousand-year-old alligator dragon that you released back then?"

"I didn't believe it at first. Later, three groups of disciples from Qingcheng went down the mountain to hunt the water monster! The first group didn't know the depth of the water, so they only sent three people, and they were all wiped out! The second group had six people, which was doubled, but they were all seriously injured. In order to avoid unnecessary sacrifice, they all retreated. The third group sent seventeen people. I thought that this time they could kill it with one blow and solve the problem once and for all. In the end, only seven people were seriously injured and eight were slightly injured. There was still no progress! One of the disciples in the third group was called Han Bo. He participated in the operation to hunt the crocodile dragon back then! He recognized the thousand-year-old crocodile dragon at a glance! Because there were many scars on the crocodile dragon's body, all of which were left by him! However, the crocodile dragon was only five meters long back then, but now it is at least ten meters long!"

Du Ruhui's brows tightened, "Ten feet?"

He looked around at the surrounding scenery, constantly comparing it in his mind. A ten-foot-long crocodile, the more he thought about it, the more terrifying it became! If this monster came to the city, it could be said that the entire city would become a living hell!

Wearing strong armor and being invulnerable to swords and spears? It seems that my Northwest Wolf Soldiers are useless!

Pang Shiwu asked, "Then why don't you use your Fire Silkworm Flame Net?"

Yu Qingzi sighed and said, "Why is it useless? The first batch of disciples used it! But since then, it can no longer be used!"

"what happened?"

"The size of the Millennium Alligator Dragon has doubled, and the net itself can no longer hold it! Moreover, the power of the Flame Silk Net to restrain the Alligator Dragon has been greatly reduced this time, and it seems to have lost its effectiveness! I guess the power of the Flame Silk Net will not disappear, it should be that the Alligator Dragon's leather armor has been tampered with, and some changes have occurred, causing it to no longer be so afraid of the Flame Silk Net! Because the incident happened suddenly, my Qingcheng disciples were caught off guard, resulting in them all being killed by the Millennium Alligator Dragon! The Flame Silk Net was also dragged to the bottom of the lake by the Millennium Alligator Dragon and can no longer be found! What a pity!"

"Master, are you saying that the thousand-year-old crocodile dragon was afraid of the Fire Silkworm Flame Net before, but is suddenly not afraid of it now, is it because his leather armor has changed?"

"I think it is very likely that some kind of mutation has occurred!"

"Mutations?"

"This alligator dragon lived for a thousand years to grow to five meters long. The annual growth change can be said to be negligible! But how long has it been? Less than two years, it has doubled in size..."

Zeng Yong frowned, "This means it must have encountered some kind of accident during this period! It may have eaten something special... Also, how did it get here? This place should be connected to the Minjiang River, but it doesn't seem to be connected to the Yangtze River?"

Yu Qingzi said: "That's right, it's blocked by water, but it's accessible by land! It's an amphibious animal, it can crawl on land!"

"Yeah! Look at my brain! It can crawl over here!"

Big Wolf looked at the farthest part of the lake and saw that there seemed to be a layer of fog!

He narrowed his eyes and said calmly, "If the flaming silk net you mentioned doesn't work, then wouldn't you be in trouble too?"

Pang Shiwu disagreed: "It's okay, this is nothing to my big brother! If my big brother is really in trouble, then we can attack him together. I don't believe that the four of us can't beat a small crocodile!"

Yu Qingzi said, "Actually, the reason I came down the mountain this time is, first, to invite Young Master Feng and the others to visit the mountain, and second, to join hands with you to eradicate this thousand-year-old crocodile dragon! Third, I just got a piece of news last night, which has not been confirmed yet, and I would like to ask Young Master Feng to help analyze it! After all, he has a special identity, as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Imperial City Bureau, and he is well-informed! And only he can do this!"

Pang Shiwu asked, "Master, can you please tell us?"

Yu Qingzi said: "Of course! I heard that this thousand-year-old crocodile dragon was deliberately led to Cuiyue Lake by Mr. Tang San!"

Pang Shiwu was stunned and asked, "Are you talking about Tang Jue? Does this involve the Tang Sect?"

Yu Qingzi shook his head, "It's not the young Third Young Master Tang, it's the old Third Young Master Tang, Tang Jue's father, Tang Heng!"

Zeng Yong frowned and asked, "Why did he do this? What was his motive?"

Yu Qingzi said: "I have also heard about it, I don't know whether it is true or not. It is said that Tang Heng learned that Feng Shaoxia would pass through Qingcheng, so he led the thousand-year-old crocodile to the Cuiyue Lake in advance, so he could kill two birds with one stone! The first one is naturally my Qingcheng Mountain! My Qingcheng Sect was one of the eight major sects in the martial arts world during the Tang Dynasty. Although it has gone through the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, it still stands firm. Seeing that the world is unified again, my Qingcheng will be revived in no time. History has proved that whenever the world is unified, my Qingcheng Sect is also in its heyday. We have always established our sect with chivalry and justice as our foundation. Therefore, Tang San led the thousand-year-old crocodile to the Cuiyue Lake under the Qingcheng Mountain in order to destroy my Qingcheng vitality and shake my Qingcheng foundation! As long as the water monster hurts people's lives, my Qingcheng Sect will definitely send people to get rid of the harm, which means they have fallen into their trap, because the water monster is too powerful and difficult to deal with. This will not only ruin our reputation, but also sacrifice our young generation!

The second eagle is naturally targeting Young Master Feng! In the battle of the Yangtze River, Young Master Tang San was signed a blood contract by Young Master Feng, so Old Master Tang San will naturally not let it go! He dare not confront Young Master Feng directly, so he will naturally cause some trouble with these small actions! If you and my Qingcheng were not rooted in chivalry and righteousness, who among us would be led by him by the nose? "

Du Ruhui immediately resonated with him and said, "What the Taoist said makes sense! Count me in, and I am the third eagle!

Pang Shiwu raised his eyebrows, "You are the Third Eagle, does Tang San have a grudge against you?"

Du Ruhui smiled bitterly and said, "No grudge, no grudge. Of course I know myself well, and I'm not flattering myself. What I mean is, everything was fine here, but that Tang San insisted on leading the water monster to Guanzhou. Guanzhou is my area of ​​responsibility. If I had been a little more ruthless and gone against my conscience, and pretended to be confused when those old ladies came to me, then I wouldn't have come here! What I want to say is that we are all good people, and only good people can be controlled by others! They have calculated it, and you have no choice but to come!"

Pang Shiwu cursed, "Fuck his ancestors! Don't let me catch this Tang San, or I'll bury him alive in a cesspool!"

Du Ruhui's mouth twitched, and he thought to himself: Suffocating to death in a cesspool is horrifying to think about!

Zeng Yong said: "What I am wondering now is, wasn't the thousand-year-old alligator released? How did they catch it again? What caused it to grow so big and no longer be afraid of the fire net?"

Yu Qingzi shook his head, "I don't know!"

Zeng Yong asked, "Did you Qingcheng disciples use the boat to kill the monster last time?"

Yu Qingzi was startled, "Of course we need a boat! No one in the entire Qingcheng Sect can practice to the level of a dragonfly skimming the water! We can't stand on the water at all, so we naturally need a boat. What do you mean, Young Master Zeng?"

Zeng Yong said: "Master, please don't misunderstand me. I can't just skim the surface, so I asked about the boats. You see, there are no new boats here, and those broken boats are obviously old. Master said that Qingcheng had sent three batches of disciples, so there should be at least a boat here, so where is the boat?"

Yu Qingzi sighed, "Of course the boat sank. If the boat hadn't sunk, why would they come back? If everyone could walk on the water, how could they have been defeated so miserably?!"

Thank you Yudong for your strong support and encouragement!
