The owner of the boat returned to the cabin, muttering the name to himself. Suddenly, he clapped his hands. "Aiya, it can't be that Xu Hanwen!" The scholar who often talked about him on the lake hurriedly rushed back to the deck.
He saw Xu Xian still standing at the bow of the ship and said, "Xu …" Before he could finish the word, his legs gave way and he almost fell.
He was shocked and looked up at the sky. The dark clouds seemed to have a life of their own, swallowing the stars and moon in an instant.
The wind was strong and the waves were turbulent.
Between heaven and earth, there was only darkness.
Only the light at the bow of the ship flickered restlessly.
The owner of the boat scrambled back into the cabin. He turned around to look at Xu Xian, only to see Xu Xian still standing at the bow of the boat, shouting loudly, "Official Xu!
Xu Xian!
Quickly go back to the cabin and hide! "
Xu Xian turned back and smiled, signaling the shipowner not to worry. The shipowner was stunned. He felt that there was something else in Xu Xian's warm smile.
Standing at the bow, his tall figure was like a pillar in the middle of the river, unaffected by the wind and waves.
He wanted to shout again, but the wind and waves were getting stronger. He had no choice but to go back to the cabin.
Xu Xian listened carefully. There were many women and children in the cabin behind him. They were screaming and praying. Even for a man, after experiencing such a sudden change, his heart was filled with fear. Then came the comforting voice of the shipowner, and the commotion finally calmed down.
Xu Xian turned back and whispered to himself, "This is also the path to your own death!"
Before he finished speaking, not far from the bow of the ship, waves of water surged up into the sky.
The water turned into a general wearing scales. He looked down at the small passenger ship and raised his hands. The water in his hands turned into a giant blade and slashed down fiercely.
Xu Xian stood at the bow of the ship. Seeing the tip of the giant blade approaching, he did not dodge. He activated the water star in his body and waited for the giant blade to reach his body before it suddenly turned into water again.
The opponent was the Lake Deity. Even if he had cultivated the water star to a high level, it would be extremely difficult to use the water power of the Poyang Lake. But it was not a problem to use it to protect himself.
He cast a spell, and the originally slow-moving passenger ship was suddenly pushed forward by the current, speeding forward, cutting through the waves.
In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the water giant's feet. Xu Xian let out a thunderous roar, and the water giant turned into a spray of water, pouring down like a rainstorm.
But at the same time, more than ten water giants rose from the surface of the lake, and dozens of tornado-like waves swept towards the passenger ship.
Xu Xian frowned, but not because of the difficulties in front of him, but because he couldn't sense the presence of this alligator.
Occasionally, there would be some spirit ripples, but they would disappear in a flash as they were covered by the huge spirit energy of Poyang Lake.
This was simply bait. If he were to endure like this, then he would clearly be in an invincible position.
Xu Xian didn't expect this alligator to be so cunning. It didn't want to fight him face to face. If he went into the water to look for it, he would be in a disadvantageous position. He would fall right into the opponent's trap. Although he wasn't afraid, it would be difficult to protect the passenger ship.
However, it wasn't a long-term solution to be constantly beaten up like this.
An idea flashed in Xu Xian's mind. He took out an item from the Merit Jade Plate and threw it into the lake.
As soon as this item entered the water, it immediately stretched and became bigger, like a sponge that was full of water, but it began to stretch out long tentacles.
This item was none other than the flesh of the octopus spirit that Xu Xian obtained in the sea. It was controlled by Xu Xian's Water Soul Technique, and it swam to the depths of the lake.
Although it felt very strange to control such a soft creature, he couldn't care so much during the great battle.
As soon as the octopus spirit entered the water, there was a pressure of ten thousand tons of water, squeezing and kneading it. Even steel would be crushed in an instant.
Xu Xian was secretly shocked. This was clearly using the water power of the entire Poyang Lake to fight, which was similar to Bi Fang's desperate attack.
Even if he had the Water Star to protect his body, it was difficult to ensure that he wouldn't be injured.
However, every bone in this octopus body was soft and could not withstand any force. No matter how you squeezed and hit it, it only swam to the bottom of the lake, looking for the real body of the Chinese alligator.
The waves on the lake also became stagnant. Xu Xian guessed that the Chinese alligator did not expect this move of his. At that time on the sea, he also encountered a lot of trouble because of this. "Let's see where you can escape to now!"
After an unknown period of time, the owner of the ship recovered from his dizziness. He felt that the wind and waves seemed to have stopped. He staggered to the deck and actually reached the shore. Xu Xian was stepping onto the dock. He turned around and waved at the owner. His expression seemed to be a little tired, but he still looked very gentle.
The owner of the ship sat down on the bow of the ship, temporarily forgetting his heart of flattery. There was a feeling of escaping from death, a feeling that it was hard to come back to life.
However, he still couldn't understand how that person could stand on the bow of the ship for a whole night in such a strong wind and waves, not even his clothes got wet.
Xu Xian walked on the ground again. He also quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
He had indeed seen the true face of the Chinese alligator in the water – it was a super big crocodile – and he used the octopus spirit's body to entangle it.
Although the Chinese alligator was fierce, it had no way to attack this soft octopus brother. Although it had the geographical advantage, after a round of entanglement, it actually did not have the upper hand.
As expected, the Chinese alligator also obtained the demon god's divine sense and had a second transformation.
Its limbs contracted, its body became longer, the sharp thorns on its back extended and stood up, faintly resembling a dragon.
Xu Xian recited the words in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, South Mountain Scripture: "Five hundred miles to the east is the mountain where we pray, the Bi water comes out and flows south into the sea.
Among them, there is a Tiger Dragon with a fish body and a snake tail. Its voice is like that of a mandarin duck.
Those who eat it do not swell, but can have hemorrhoids. "
This Chinese alligator was possessed by the Tiger Dragon. Although the Tiger Dragon's rank was not as good as a divine bird like Bi Fang, it still greatly increased the Chinese alligator's magic power. It swam in the water as if it was flying, and manipulated the water like a weapon. The octopus spirit relied on its endurance and fought with it for half a night, but in the end, no one could do anything to the other.
Xu Xian looked back at Poyang Lake again, "You will suffer in the future!"
And under the surface of Poyang Lake in the distance, the Chinese alligator's figure could be vaguely seen, and it was also looking at Xu Xian with eyes full of anger.
After another collision of eyes, Xu Xian turned his head and left. Looking up, he saw a towering mountain towering by the lake, blocking his view.
This was another famous mountain of the Three Mountains and Five Peaks – Mount Lu.
Xu Xian murmured, "I wonder what kind of person the celestial being on this mountain is. It would be better if I don't meet another demon celestial being!"
Xiaoqian already had Mount Huang as her foundation, so there was no need for him to plot Mount Lu for her. However, if he could be like the God of the World's Water Veins and have a God of the World's Mountains, he did not know how it would feel, but it was just a casual thought.
For ordinary cultivators to have a famous mountain as their Taoist field, it was something that could only be encountered by chance.
As for becoming the God of the World's Mountains, no one had ever thought about it.
If there was such a person in the world, then the closest one would be Goddess Houtu of the Four Royals. However, that Goddess was so low-key that she did not even have a few temples. She was only worshiped as a God of Burial, which seemed to be a waste of the prestige of "Imperial Heaven Houtu".
As Xu Xian lowered his head and pondered, suddenly someone came forward and cupped his hands, "May I ask if you are High Official Xu, Xu Xian?"
