Chapter 65 Traces of the Shark
Xie Que exhaled a breath of hot breath, and his whole body was filled with steam.
"Mr. Lang, why don't you rest?"
Shen Ning blinked and walked behind Xie Que at some point.
The soft touch pressed against Xie Que's broad back, and he turned around and hugged Shen Ning's waist.
"And there's routine business."
He looked up at the sky and estimated that it was almost midnight.
Xie Que returned home, picked up the corpse net and called Tong Guan, and they took a boat to patrol the river.
Although Tong Guan didn't know what happened during the day, there was a lot of movement near the river area, which made him turn around cautiously.
The weather became cooler and cooler, and the water became turbid.
Tong Guan looked at the water.
There seems to be something hidden under the river surface that is illuminated by the moonlight but cannot be seen.
He couldn't help but shudder.
Xie Que raised his hand and lightly hit Tong Guan with bamboo shoots, and he immediately came back to his senses.
He pointed to the river with a slightly trembling tone: "Water... there seems to be something under the water."
Xie Que stopped what he was doing and asked, "What's there?"
From his perspective, the water surface was smooth, and only the ripples caused by the movement of the ship could be seen.
Tong Guan shook his head: "I don't know, but there seems to be something."
Xie Que took the bamboo grass and poked it a few times where Tong Guan pointed, but he didn't feel anything.
Tong Guan's face was still nervous: "There seems to be something really there, I saw them swimming around..."
Xie Que looked at Tong Guan's increasingly pale face and knew that he would not lie.
What is there under the water?
Xie Que took off the gourd on the bow of the boat, poured out a river frog, swallowed it, and jumped into the river.
"Thank you, brother, could it be that I got it wrong..."
Tong Guan wanted to dissuade him, but Xie Que had already jumped into the river.
The color of the water was no longer as clear as before. Even after Xie Que ate the river frog, he still felt a little drowsy and dim, and his vision became narrow.
He swam around the awning boat several times, but found nothing.
"Huh." Xie Que raised his head above the water and exhaled.
He turned over and got on the boat. Tong Guan was like a child who had done something wrong, and he began to bow his head and become silent.
"What did you see?" Xie Que knew that Tong Guan had always been dull and had low self-esteem, so he would only blame himself for this incident.
Tong Guan raised his head, thought for a moment and then hesitated: "It seems like... a few big fish tails, but they seem to have human heads..."
Fish tail, human head.
Xie Que remembered the legend about Guojia Village that the villagers had told him before.
The villagers in Guojia Village have become half-fish and half-human, and will kill anyone who knows about their existence.
But this legend cannot be true. After all, those who know this legend have lived to this day without any accidents.
Xie Que was also thinking, could he really be that kind of shark?
But why can’t I see it?
He looked at Tong Guan and frowned.
He did not rule out that Tong Guan had seen some kind of hallucination, but why did it happen to be a half-human, half-fish figure?
Xie Que looked around cautiously. The river surface was still as flat as a mirror, and he couldn't see any abnormalities.
He thought about what the villagers had said, and said to Tong Guan with some reluctance: "Don't tell anyone what happened today."
Tong Guan nodded.
Then, Xie Que worked hard and kept staring down the river, but until the end of the river patrol, he found nothing unusual.
Back home, Shen Ning has been waiting for a long time.
She walked up to Xie Que and lay on Xie Que's shoulder regardless of how wet he was.
Shen Ning's nose twitched, she turned her head and said to Xie Que, "You have a strange smell."
"What does it smell like?" Xie Que couldn't help but be stunned for a while.
Shen Ning sniffed her nose again and replied: "It smells a bit like fish, but it doesn't seem like it."
"I've never smelled anything like this."
Xie Tong nodded, his expression gradually becoming gloomy.
Since Shen Ning said so, then something must have appeared under the river today.
It’s just that I didn’t discover it.
He looked at Tong Guan who was washing diligently behind him, feeling a little strange in his heart.
How did this kid find out?
Putting these things out of his mind, Xie Que took a shower and thought about improving his martial arts.
The so-called limit-breaking state is just the result of spending a few hours on my own.
There are still many areas for improvement.
Just as he was thinking about it, Xie Que felt a burst of fragrance pouring into his nose.
"Come on, follow me into the house." Shen Ning pulled Xie Que: "You are practicing martial arts in the middle of the night. I have never seen you so hardworking in my more than three hundred years of life."
Xie Que was speechless for a while, but thinking that something like that could boost his energy, he followed the tigress into the room.
"As expected of a warrior, his physical strength is so good..."
In the middle of the night, Shen Ning gasped and clapped his hands.
Three beauties appeared in front of Xie Que, dressed in tulle.
"Let them play with you."
…
The next morning, Xie Que woke up early.
Although he only rested for a few hours, Xie Que felt extremely energetic and energetic.
He glanced at Shen Ning, who was still sleeping deeply. His face was still rosy, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
When he walked out of the room, he didn't expect Mu Yongquan to be sitting in the courtyard.
"Come back?" Xie Que looked at him in surprise.
Mu Yongquan had gone on a long business trip before and heard that he was attending a Buddhist conference on behalf of the secret sect.
He looked around the room with a smile and glanced at Xie Que's left hand: "I heard from my uncle that you have found a concubine?"
Why did the whole world know about it in less than a day?
Xie Que remained silent, then changed the subject and said, "I'm in the third realm."
Mu Yongquan immediately stood on the spot as if he had been struck by lightning. After a while, he said, "What? I didn't hear you clearly?"
Knowing that he couldn't hide it, and that Uncle Nan Guang already knew his own strength, Xie Que continued: "I have reached the third realm."
Mu Yongquan hesitated to speak, and could only sigh: "You lied to me, you must have been practicing martial arts for two years and you will enter the country soon."
"It's not surprising. Ever since you went to the Secret Sect, Master has been talking about you all the time, so he knew you were special."
He put on a happy smile again, stepped forward and patted Xie Que: "Junior brother, when did the entire Jinmen become the number one?"
Xie Que was a little speechless: "If I were just a martial arts master, I should be one by now."
He raised his hand and let out a trace of blood.
Mu Yongquan was immediately amazed by the vast power: "You...this..."
He gritted his teeth and said, "Comparing people with each other makes people angry."
"My master said at the beginning that you were a peerless genius who surpassed Master Yuan Shun. I still didn't believe it, but now I do!"
Xie Que smiled and put his hand on Mu Yongquan's shoulder: "It's okay, we are still brothers."
Mu Yongquan nodded gloomily: "But becoming the number one in Jinmen depends not only on qi and blood."
"Only using the purest martial arts moves to fight, the strongest one can be recognized by many warriors."
Xie Que was a little surprised. He didn't expect these warriors to have many rules.
Mu Yongquan suddenly put on a serious expression again: "I'm here for business."
He took out a brilliant golden scroll in his hand and read:
"Today I receive the Bodhisattva precepts, and the world is amnesty. All people of all families need to eat fast, bathe, and burn incense to worship heaven."
