Crossing the Sword

Ye Shisan released his spiritual sense and searched within a radius of ten miles. Although this was his first time using his spiritual sense to explore the road, he was at a very high level and had very accurate control over his internal strength, so he did not feel unskilled in using his spiritual sense. After a short while, he found a small river five miles to the east. After saying "goodbye", he used the water escape technique and disappeared in front of Ding Xiang.

Dingxiang looked at Ye Shisan disappearing out of thin air and was stunned and said, "It's actually an escape technique! I heard from Xiaofeng that this is a very advanced spell. Xiaofeng has always been worried about not being able to continue learning more advanced spells. If she could get some guidance from Master Zhang..." She shook her head helplessly. She knew there was no chance. Everyone had left. How could there be a chance to meet again in such a vast sea of ​​people?

But she didn't expect that fate would play tricks on her, and she would have the opportunity to meet Ye Shisan again that day. However, the scene of the meeting made her very embarrassed.

The river water was very clear. Ye Shisan chose a place far from the main road. There were several half-grown boys bathing there. He didn't care. After the river appeared, he quickly took off his clothes and jumped into the river. The black skin that had been shed was still on his body, which was really uncomfortable. And he didn't want others to associate him with the characters in "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio".

But the opposite happened. Just when he was about to wash off the ugly black skin, one of the other boys who were also taking a bath discovered him and screamed, "Ghost! It's a water ghost, everyone run!" Ye Shisan was hit again.

But this time he was not surprised at all and completely ignored the other party's reaction. Just take your own bath and let others yell at you!

"Don't be afraid!" Finally, someone recognized that he was not a ghost. Ye Shisan glanced at him and saw that he was a boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a handsome appearance. Zhang Tianya could not help but nod his head and thought, he looked extraordinary, no wonder he didn't make a fuss, he must have a bright future.

But the next words of this big boy made Ye Shisan depressed again, and he quickly took back his previous evaluation. "I'll deal with him." After saying that, he shouted at Ye Shisan: "Who is this monster? How dare you do evil here!"

"Not bad, from a ghost to a demon, it's considered an upgrade." Ye Shisan thought depressedly. But he simply ignored it, he was not childish enough to care about it like a half-grown child.

But the boy didn't know how to advance or retreat. Seeing Zhang Tianya ignoring him, he got angry and said, "Don't be so arrogant, you monster. I will teach you a lesson! Water Dragon Wave!" He actually started to fight. A water dragon rolled up on the surface of the river and rushed towards Ye Shisan with a roar.

Zhang Tianya scanned the opponent with his spiritual sense and found that he was only at the late third level. He turned a blind eye to the actions of this moralist, as if the target of the water dragon was not him. He shook his head helplessly and continued to take a bath. The descendant of the water god Gonggong used water magic. This kid is really brave.

The water dragon naturally did not threaten Ye Shisan. When it was half a foot away from him, it suddenly changed direction and flew upwards. It gradually disintegrated and fell three feet above Ye Shisan's head. Ye Shisan was so happy that he took a "shower" directly.

After taking a "shower", Ye Shisan finally washed off the black skin on his body, revealing his shiny skin and his original appearance.

"So you're not a monster." The guy who attacked him said unconsciously.

Ye Shisan's face finally darkened, and he said in a cold voice: "If you dare to call me 'evil' again, believe it or not, I will really eat you?"

"You are indeed a monster. Don't even think about hurting my friends." After saying that, he ordered his companions behind him: "You run first, leave this to me!" After saying that, he looked at Ye Shisan vigilantly, with his hands in a fighting posture.

Ye Shisan was completely speechless this time. However, he seemed to have a strong sense of justice. He knew that he was no match for him, but he still insisted on protecting his companions. Ye Shisan still admired this little guy a little bit, and his anger subsided. He ignored him.

The other children seemed to listen to the boy and immediately put on their clothes and ran away.

After a while, Ye Shisan finished his bath, put on his clothes, and smiled at the boy who was still in a fighting posture in the river: "Are you tired of standing?"

The little guy still looked at Ye Shisan with hostility and answered stubbornly: "No!"

"Then you just stand there, I'm leaving first. 88!" After saying that, he ignored him and turned around to leave.

At this time, a group of villagers rushed over with various farm tools. The leader was an old man. Seeing that the little guy was safe and sound, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, but still couldn't help but asked with concern: "Xiao Feng, are you okay?"

"It's okay!" the boy replied, "But this person doesn't seem to be a monster. He has no intention of hurting me." Damn, I just realized it. I surrender to you!

Ye Shisan smiled bitterly and shook his head. He scanned the villagers and was surprised to find a familiar figure among them: "Lilac."

Ding Xiang was standing behind the old man. When she heard Zhang Tianya call out her name, she was very surprised and asked, "Sir, do we know each other?"

Ye Shisan was in a playful mood and imitated Ding Xiang's expression and said, "Ghost!" However, he controlled the volume very well so that everyone could hear it clearly and did not shout it out loud.

Ding Xiang suddenly realized, and said with an expression of disbelief on her face: "Are you Mr. Ye?"

Ye Shisan smiled and nodded.

The old man at the other side looked Ye Shisan up and down several times and asked, "Excuse me, are you from Shangdang?"

Ye Shisan did not answer but asked, "How did you know that, old man?" This was considered as his agreement.

The old man was a smart man. After listening to Ding Xiang and the little boys' narration, he felt that the "evil spirit" was most likely Ye Shisan. Seeing this scene, he naturally confirmed Ye Shisan's identity and smiled slightly, "The clothes on your body have the symbol of Emperor Yan. I think you are probably from Shangdang." When he mentioned Emperor Yan, he even clasped his fists and bowed in the direction of Shangdang City. Obviously, he was more polite than Ye Shisan, the patrol officer of the Eight Prefectures.

Seeing that the old man actually recognized the grain mark on his front, Ye Shisan couldn't help but get curious and asked, "Old man, do you recognize this mark too?" This mark was only worn by a few people in Shangdang, but it was not a symbol of status. Emperor Yan did not prohibit it, but most officials knew to avoid suspicion, and such embroidery was expensive, so ordinary people could not afford it.

The old man smiled and bowed, saying, "I am Ding Yuan, this is not the place to talk. If you don't mind, how about we go to Hanshe to have a chat?"

"Ding Yuan?" Ye Shisan immediately thought of Lu Bu. Of course, this Ding Yuan was not that Ding Yuan.

"Oh? Sir, have you heard of me?"

"Oh, no, but we are from the same hometown and have the same name. Please don't be offended by my misbehavior, old man."

"What about what this old man proposed just now?"

"Of course, obedience is worse than respect." He was now a little curious about Ding Yuan, so he agreed.

At this time, Xiaofeng in the river said, "You guys go first, I'll put on my clothes and follow you." This caused everyone to laugh.
