The Otherworldly God

The two walked towards the sound and saw the sparkling water in the distance. Le Zhengqiming ran over. It was indeed a stream, and it was quite big.

The water was not deep enough to see what was at the bottom, mostly black rocks, with some small shrimps and fish.

Le Zheng Qiming went over and scooped up some water with a bamboo tube.

"This water is very sweet, and with the fragrance of bamboo, it's really good. Let's try it."

Yue Zheng Qiming would naturally not let him touch the water. Since he had to act, he had to perform all the details well so as not to be easily exposed.

"It really tastes good. It's not easy to drink such clean and sweet water nowadays."

"No, you can come back next time you want to drink it. Judging from the direction of the river, it is probably connected to the river outside Jimen Pass. We can look for it when we have a chance."

“We can’t come out at will.”

"I had forgotten that you were punished for three years for escaping from the customs without permission, and you almost lost your life. Well, take some back for them to drink, and come back for more if it's not enough."

"Ah."

Le Zheng Yuhua was also curious about the sound of water, because the stream in front of him did not make any sound at all, so he listened carefully again and saw a waterfall in the direction he was going.

"Okay, let's go."

Le Zheng Yuhua turned around and walked a few steps, and suddenly remembered the clue on the paper.

"Qiming, do you still remember the clues about Shui Ling?"

"Of course I remember. We even thought that maybe the masters made a mistake in writing it."

"Write it down."

He wrote it on the ground with a dagger.

"If it's not a typo, I think the key to the water spirit is along this coast."

"Water plus magic, with more wood characters, on the trees by the water, but this range is too large."

"What do you think of that tree?"

Le Zheng Yuhua pointed to a tree beside the pool at the bottom of the waterfall, which was indeed more conspicuous than all the other trees.

They looked at each other and realized that the other party was thinking the same thing as they did, so they went over to check, and sure enough, they found a treasure bag on the tree, with a key inside.

"This is the key to the water spirit."

Thinking of this, Le Zheng Qiming worriedly took out his clues.

"Rain plus wood and magic, where can I find a place where it rains and there are trees underneath?"

"What if it's not real rain?"

Le Zheng Qiming looked at Le Zheng Yuhua in confusion. He pointed at the waterfall and saw a rainbow under the sunlight.

There are many protruding rocks on this waterfall, causing the water above to hit the rocks and splash out, just like rain. On the rock, there is also a tree growing tenaciously. If you look closely, you will find that it is a twin tree.

"If I'm not mistaken, your key is in the tree on the right."

"But how do we get it? If we accidentally drop it, there's a lot of water underneath."

"Shui Ling's rope, let's go back first."

Knowing that her key had been found, Le Zheng Shuiling was extremely happy.

Hearing that Le Zheng Yuhua had solved the clue, the other two newcomers also came to ask with their own clues. After getting Le Zheng Qiming's key, they soon found their keys as well.

In the end, only Le Zheng Yuhua's key was left, and there was an extra "狇" character on it, which made them a little worried.

Le Zheng Yuhua had roughly guessed it, but he already had a plan and did not tell Le Zheng Qiming and Le Zheng Shuiling, so he suggested going to get the treasure chest first.

Before reaching Yulong Peak, I successfully got the treasure chest, but I still didn't get Le Zheng Yuhua's key, although I already had a direction.

"Give me the tinder, the rope, and the dagger, and you go back with the box first."

"Brother Yuhua, wait a moment." Le Zheng Shui Ling handed the things to the other two newcomers and said, "There is no reason for us to let you take risks, so please."

"You guys go back first too."

Le Zheng Shuiling threw the things to them, and walked in front of Le Zheng Yuhua with Le Zheng Qiming to express her determination.

Le Zheng Yuhua also knew that refusing again would seem too artificial and would be disrespectful to them.

Three people stood on the edge of the cliff, trying to get closer and look down, it felt like there was no bottom.

"Tell me, if there really is a Jade Dragon, would it be down here?"

"I heard that dragons live in water, right? If there are dragons, then there must be water flowing underneath."

"over there."

The two looked over and saw Le Zheng Yuhua pointing at a protruding rock.

"That stone? There's no dragon there either."

"There is a cave. We must go down and have a look. Connect the ropes and tie them tightly."

Before Le Zheng Yuhua finished speaking, the two of them had already started eating, and then watched Le Zheng Yuhua busy herself.

He found a stone to fix one end of the rope and asked Le Zheng Shui Ling to watch it.

"I want to go down too."

"Just in case, someone must be left to watch over it."

"It's up to you, Shui Ling."

Knowing that they were considering her identity as a girl, Le Zheng Shui Ling did not refute them this time, but nodded in agreement.

"Brother Yuhua, you have to promise me that the key is not important. At most, we will take the test with you again next time."

"Do not worry."

"Ah."

Of course, Le Zheng Yuhua was the first to go down, followed by Le Zheng Qiming. Le Zheng Shuiling made sure that there was no problem with the rope before coming over to check on them.

The rock was not too far away from her, and they soon reached the bottom. Le Zheng Qiming waved to her to signal her to go in.

The cave was very dark and damp. Le Zheng Yuhua lit a fire stick, but it could only illuminate a small area. Seeing the water ball flying cautiously inside, Le Zheng Qiming couldn't help but stare at it.

"This Mingjing Zhishui is really dedicated to his work."

Le Zheng Qiming's voice was not loud, but it was amplified several times in this cave. At the same time, a breathing sound came from the depths of the cave. Le Zheng Qiming immediately covered his mouth and gestured with his hands.

"It seems there really is a dragon inside."

Le Zheng Yuhua made a gesture to keep quiet and walked inside carefully, not even daring to make any noise when walking.

As he walked, Le Zheng Qiming smelled a foul odor and couldn't help pinching his nose.

Soon they arrived. It was much more spacious than outside and the smell was even stronger.

Le Zheng Qiming couldn't see where the source was, but he could smell it getting closer. Le Zheng Yuhua walked to the other side and saw the tree.

This tree didn't look like a tree, it only had bare branches, and Le Zheng Yuhua didn't find the brocade bag with the key. Just as he was about to look for another one, he stepped on something, and when he looked down, he found that it was the brocade bag with the key.

Logically, all the keys should be on the tree, which fits the clue of "technique". Le Zheng Yuhua does not think that this fell accidentally.

Indeed, thinking back on it, their keys were in relatively safe places, but his keys were in a dangerous place, although he had not yet seen the so-called "beast".

Feeling uneasy, he quickly stood up and prepared to ask Le Zheng Qiming to leave, but accidentally bumped into a tree nearby.

Just like a group of fireflies taking off into the sky when they encounter the grass in the summer, the tree instantly grew leaves and fruits, and also emitted firefly light, instantly illuminating the entire cave.

Only then did Le Zheng Yuhua realize that Le Zheng Qiming was touching the head of a huge monster, and Le Zheng Qiming withdrew his hand in fright.

Fortunately, this huge monster was curled up into a ball and sleeping soundly. Le Zheng Yuhua quickly signaled Le Zheng Qiming to leave.

Seeing this scene through Mingjing Zhishui, Le Zhengzhi stood up in shock and even knocked over his teacup. Le Zhengying looked at him and called him softly, and Le Zhengzhi realized that he was being watched by others.

"Yes, there really is one... Could this guy be the Jade Dragon from the dangerous Jade Dragon Peak?"

No one else said anything. Le Zhengying pulled him to sit down. He secretly glanced at Le Zhengfang. It was obvious that she was very angry.

"It seems like someone wants to harm Yuhua."

He was not the only one who thought so. Several masters present could see it, but no one said it out loud. After all, the assessment was decided by Le Zhengqin.

Le Zhengfang caught a glimpse of Le Zhengqin's clenched fist under the table and rolled her eyes at his serious face.

"So blatantly, and still using your disguise, brother, brother, I'm afraid you'll bleed this time."

Le Zhengfang calmed down, and Le Zhengzhi was able to hold back because of Le Zhengying's help. He knew that Le Zhengfang was not in a good position to speak, and he himself was worried and couldn't speak, and he couldn't count on others, so he could only sigh in his heart and apologize to them.
