Chapter 1549 Entering the water
"Zhongshu, it's up to you!"

The crab monster chiseled the boat, leaving behind a black crab claw as thick as an arm.

For ordinary people, this kind of incomplete thing is nothing, but for those who are good at tracking, this is the most direct guide.

In just half a day, everyone has found possible traces of Shuifu.

Gongsun Hong looked slightly happy, feeling that the matter was solved too easily.

He picked up the crab claws in the river and fished them to the river bank.

"There's a lot of meat in these crab claws," Zhang Changgong whispered.

"This meat will easily make you dizzy after eating it. Don't even think about eating it. Don't even pick it up if others throw it away," Zhang Xuezhou warned.

"I just see a lot of meat!"

Zhang Changgong said angrily, and Dong Zhongshu, who had grabbed the crab claws in his hands, had already begun to mutter and cast spells.

"Only when everyone is good at Confucianism can a hundred flowers bloom, and the imperial court will definitely allow the ministers to use their talents," Dong Zhongshu comforted.

Dong Zhongshu's face also looked happy. Things were much simpler than he imagined. Everything was like God's help.

"It's just that I spent many years hanging around the East China Sea and developed some means of making a living." Gongsun Hong said with a bitter smile: "People laugh at me because I am a pig farmer in the East China Sea. I am pretty good in the water, but I can't do anything when I get ashore. I will be punished. People are pressed and beaten!”

“Great things can happen!”

As long as the crab demon comes from Shui Mansion, this is the best guide.

"This is easy to talk about!"

"Let's go explore the situation first and explore briefly to see if we can break through the water palace's confusion." Dong Zhongshu said: "Second Qing is good at water methods. He will work harder when the time comes. If he can find out how to sneak into the water palace, then we can It saves trouble!"

Dong Zhongshu was able to identify whether Cui was hiding in Lingnan in Chang'an City, and it was obviously extremely easy for him to determine the location of the crab demon.

"Can become!"

As long as the location can be determined, Shui Mansion cannot escape anywhere, and the confusion will inevitably be broken through various methods.

When things got to this point, it was almost enough to send someone to notify King Jiangdu.

It wasn't until the tracking perception came to an abrupt end after a long time that there was a trace of blush on his face.

Gongsun Hong nodded in agreement.

The first step was to investigate, which was completed in just half a day.

According to Dong Zhongshu's estimation, it would take at least two or three days for them to get a clue. Who would have thought that they would have clues in just half a day.

Seeing that Zhang Xuezhou was curious, Dong Zhongshu also explained a few sentences.

As soon as Dong Zhongshu said this, it almost announced the certainty of Shuifu. The only thing left was to break the mystery and promote the emergence of Shuifu.

"It is still sixteen miles away from us by water. It must have entered the water palace, and relied on some kind of formation to prevent me from tracking it!"

"Second Qing is good at water arts. He can tread water, enter water, listen in, observe and other methods. Each ability is extremely useful!"

Things are simpler than people think.

Gongsun Hong was very happy.

"I accept your good words!"

Gongsun Hong cupped his fists to express his thanks.

This allowed Zhang Xuezhou to understand why Gongsun Hong was a great scholar, but he was also extremely aggrieved. He was almost bullied by Shen Peigong in Chang'an City.

Not only was his ability inferior to others, few students would learn from Gongsun Hong, but Gongsun Hong also lacked sufficient connections.

Without the help of Dong Zhongshu, it would be very difficult for Gongsun Hong to gain a firm foothold, even after Confucian competition weakened.

In Gongsun Hong's case, the only advantage left was seniority.

The group of people communicated with each other, leaving the crew to repair the ship and report back to King Jiangdu, then abandoned the ship and turned to the land to travel along the coast. Sixteen miles of waterway is not that far, even normal travel only takes an hour.

"That's it!"

When they entered an inlet area of ​​Gaoyou Great Lake, Dong Zhongshu stretched out his hand and pointed. Everyone saw that what he was pointing to was a cliff more than 300 meters away. The water below it was almost black, and it was obviously an extremely deep place.

"Look at the color of the water, there is at least twenty feet of water there. It is not easy to sneak into a place like this." Gongsun Hong said: "Can the King of Jiangdu break into the water mansion?"

"It is the King of Jiangdu's job to break into Shuifu." Dong Zhongshu said with a smile: "We are only responsible for finding Shuifu, but we also need to prove the existence of Shuifu!"

"makes sense!"

Gongsun Hong nodded, feeling that everything was fine.

He rolled up his sleeves and stepped into the water. After just a few steps, Gongsun Hong was already firmly standing on the water.

"Isn't this water magic?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.

"This is treading water, a common technique used by fishermen on the seaside. Ci Qing has been practicing it for more than 20 years, and this technique is close to a skill." Dong Zhongshu said: "He can step on the water and walk freely, and he can also dive into the water and move freely. You can dive into the water for a quarter of an hour without needing to breathe.”

"Great!"

"What's really great is that he can actually fight in the water when using these methods. This is something that is difficult for others to do." Dong Zhongshu said: "If you fight in the water with people, not many people can beat the second minister."

"Really amazing!"

Zhang Xuezhou's first sentence was flattery, while the latter sentence was truthful.

His ability to avoid water is close to Gongsun Hong's, but Zhang Xuezhou's ability is similar to that of his opponent when he uses the technique. After releasing the water avoidance technique, it will be difficult to release other techniques, unless Zhang Xuezhou further promotes the water avoidance technique and relies on it. The passive ability of Water Avoidance Technique is to travel in water, so he can cast spells in water.

In other words, except for some water monsters and those who are good at water, other practitioners who enter the water will almost be beaten as sandbags by Gongsun Hong. It is not difficult for Gongsun Hong to win in a duel.

The two communicated in low voices and saw that Gongsun Hong had stepped on the water and reached the black water below the cliff.

After walking around for a while, Gongsun Hong fell towards the water.

Without even a splash of water rising, Gongsun Hong had already dived under the water.

"Amazing!"

“So watery!”

You Rong and Zhang Changgong, who were following Zhang Xuezhou, were amazed. They were obviously amazed by Gongsun Hong's ability in the water.

No matter how aggrieved Gongsun Hong was, he was also a great Confucian who had reached the realm of supernatural powers.

For the Rong family and Zhang Changgong, these are top big shots, even far more powerful than the small sect that Zhang Changgong studied under before.

It is difficult for ordinary people to see the brilliance of magic, and it is difficult for those who are good at magic to prove their abilities to others. For those who are good at killing, even if they slow down their martial arts, people will be confused. Gongsun Hong's ability makes ordinary people confused. See clearly.

Thinking about Zhang Zhong, You Rong, and Zhang Changgong who wanted to enter the country to practice and improve themselves a few years ago, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but feel a little bit sad.

Time has passed, and the past seems to be vivid in our minds, but everyone no longer has the spirit of the past, and there is little possibility of climbing up through cultivation. Even if Zhang Xuezhou pushes forward, it will be difficult.

It may be more realistic for everyone to strive to live a good life, strive to normalize their lives, even become rich, and seek to cultivate the next generation.

In reality, it is difficult for Zhang Xuezhou to lead people even under good conditions. Obviously, he cannot lead everyone in Zhangjiazhuang. Being able to rescue everyone and provide everyone with a safe place may be his greatest ability at the moment.

He kept thinking about the relevant matters in his mind, and was also looking for ways to return to Chang'an City as soon as possible to get things done, but he only listened to Zhang Changgong's low voice.

"That uncle has been sneaking in for so long. Could he have drowned?"

"It has been in the water for a quarter of an hour and has not come out!"

Mr. Rong drew fifteen counts on the ground.

The low-pitched exchange between the two did not affect Dong Zhongshu.

But when another quarter of an hour passed, even Dong Zhongshu's face changed color.
