It's a warship!

I felt a chill in my heart.

Ordinary merchant ships would have guards on board, but they would not build gun muzzles on board. Isn't the open part of the plank just where the muzzle of the ship's guns is located?

Before I could move, the ship's muzzle was completely open, but what came out of it was not a cannon, but an arm-thick crossbow, the size of a sapper's shovel, and pointed at my brow.

I didn't have time to dodge, my hands suddenly sank and hung myself out of the side of the ship, and when I raised my head, the long crossbow had been pushed more than two feet above my head, and the sound of the crossbow bed twisting kept coming, and the hull of the ship began to turn slowly, it was ready to aim the crossbow bed at the crowd on the shore?

I clasped the gap in the plank with both hands and moved several times in a row, bypassing the direction of the ballista, quickly climbed onto the side of the ship, drew my knife and jumped onto the deck, but as soon as I landed, I was stunned on the spot, the deck of the ghost ship was empty, except for a row of crossbow beds that were twisted open, and there was not even a single figure.

At this time, Ruan Dalong also jumped up with me: "Why is there no one? No, this is not the ship we encountered in the first place. ”

Only then did I realize that the style of this warship was very different from the "fairy ship" that picked up the tourists last night, and judging from the shape of the bow alone, it should be older than the age of the "fairy ship".

When Ruan Dalong and I each walked to the hatch with our weapons, the originally closed hatch suddenly opened from the inside, and a group of armored soldiers dragged a group of white-clothed death row inmates out of the hatch, and stood in a row on the side of the ship to kneel the death row inmates.

Two of them were passing by us, but as if they didn't see our presence, they walked straight in front of me.

When I turned my head to look at Ruan Dalong, the latter shook his head slightly and wrote two words behind my back with his hand: "Ghost!"

Before I could speak, I saw an old man dressed as a Taoist priest come out of the hatch: "Sacrifice to the god of the sea." ”

The soldiers on the ship drew their swords, and between the swings of their knives in unison, rows of human heads were thrown into the air together, and they fell into the sea one after another. Strangely, the corpses with their heads cut off were kneeling motionless on the deck like clay sculptures, and the rows of blood flowed from the necks of the corpses to the ground and down the opening of the crossbow bed into the sea.

A moment later, the vast sea suddenly changed, waves of sea water rose into the sky, silver light shone in the direction of the hull of the ship at a distance of several meters, and in the blink of an eye, five water columns clinged to the edge of the ship's side and soared into the air.

The armor soldier, who was standing still beside the corpse, took half a step back at the same time, picked up the corpse on the boat from left to right, and threw it into the sea. It wasn't until the corpse fell into the water that the column of water that rose into the sky collapsed, turning into a continuous torrential rain and spilling on the deck, and when the blood soaked on the deck flowed to the bottom of the boat with the torrential rain, an official in a red robe quietly walked to the Taoist priest's side: "Dao Chief, this is the fourth batch of death row prisoners, and the death row prisoners we brought are about to run out! There is still fresh water ......."

The Taoist priest who stood silently on the deck sighed for a long time and said, "Leave it to fate! If we can't find Penglai Immortal Island again, we can only follow Xu Fu's example and flee overseas." ”

The official exclaimed: "You mean Xu Fu was ...... back then?"

The Taoist priest made a silent gesture before turning around and walking into the cabin.

Ruan Dalong and I looked at each other and followed each other down the hatch, and as soon as we got off the boat, we were shocked again, and the cabin was full of sergeants with spears.

Isn't this tantamount to throwing ourselves into the net?

As soon as Nguyen Da Long and I raised our swords, we found that all the sergeants had turned a blind eye to us, as if we had never been on the boat.

Ruan Dalong tentatively stretched out his hand in front of a soldier's eyes and shook it twice, but the other party did not react.

What do ghosts deliberately want us to see?

After this thought crossed my mind, I did not hesitate any longer, and pursued after the Taoist priest, who walked until he reached the cabin before waving, "All of you go down! No one is allowed to approach the hatch without an order." ”

As the soldiers in the aisle retreated, Ruan Dalong and I rushed into the cabin and stood in the corner.

As if he didn't notice it, the Taoist priest closed the hatch and sat down, and said straight to the point: "Lord Li, Poor Dao knows that you are a member of the royal family and loyal to Your Majesty. But let me ask you, what will be the consequences if we can't bring back the immortal elixir?"

Lord Li's face changed uncertainly for a long time before he said, "Zhu Sanclan." ”

"Yes!" the Taoist priest said: "No one can afford the crime of bullying the king, even if the adults don't think about themselves, they have to think about their families, right?

Lord Li's body trembled slightly, and he finally managed to squeeze out a sentence: "Dao Chief, we really can't find Penglai Immortal Island?"

"I can't find it!" the Taoist priest shook his head and said, "Unless, we can enter Penglai Immortal Island within nine days, otherwise, we will definitely die." That beast has been with us for so long, just waiting to eat people. How many death row inmates do we still have available?"

Master Li suddenly said angrily: "But didn't you swear that you could find the immortal medicine by going to sea?"

The Taoist priest sighed and said, "The Immortal Dao is ethereal! Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty have both searched for the way to immortality, but have they found it? ”

"Your Majesty, how do I have to answer to the poor Dao asking about immortality? In that case, not only the poor Dao himself, but also the hundreds of monks of our Immortal View will have to fall to the ground, and the status of the Dao Sect will also plummet, and the poor Dao can't say it!"

Master Li's eyes were red and he shouted, "Then you can wantonly bully the king?"

"It's not that Poor Dao wants to bully the king, it's that Poor Dao also has a glimmer of hope. The Taoist priest said: "When Xu Fu went to sea to find Immortal Island, he was not deceiving Qin Shi Huang. He was just doing two things to prepare. Everyone is happy to find the elixir, and if they can't find him, they will have to flee overseas. ”

The Taoist priest said, "Now we can only choose to flee. ”

Master Li said angrily: "If we don't go back, what will happen to my family? What about your concept of immortality?"

The Taoist priest said: "Poor Dao was already prepared when he left the Immortal Temple, if Poor Dao did not return at the appointed time, naturally someone would report to Your Majesty, and the Poor Dao soul lamp was extinguished and he died at sea." ”

"Anything can happen on the vast sea, and since we have been buried at the bottom of the sea, Your Majesty will naturally not hold us responsible. ”

Only then did Master Li quiet down: "There are three hundred forbidden troops on our ship, and there must be His Majesty's eyes and ears among them, and they will not obey my command." ”

The Taoist priest lowered his voice and said, "Then you need to be carefully screened by adults." The brute will follow us until all the people on board are eaten. After the death row prisoners ran out, they sacrificed the forbidden army to the sea. At that time, the adults will definitely be able to find out the emperor's eyes and ears, right?"

Master Li said in a deep voice, "Where do you want to go?"

"Wa Kingdom!" Taoist priest said in a deep voice: "We can only go to the place where we can go now, the Wa people have admired the Tang Dynasty for a long time, we will inevitably be courteous when we arrive there, as an adult, knowledge, to the Wa country not to say that the king, at least can also worship the prime minister." It's better than being a loose official with no power and no substance in Datang, okay?"

Master Li was moved: "But can the fresh water on our ship support us to go to the Wa Kingdom?"

The Taoist priest took out a nautical chart from his bosom: "My lord, please look, there is an island here, we can replenish fresh water there, and it is not difficult to think of the Wa Kingdom." Now that there are many crises at sea, please make a decision as soon as possible. ”

"Let me think about it...... Let me think about it...... "Master Li's voice became lower and lower, and his figure began to fade and fade, and after a few seconds, he and the Taoist priest disappeared in front of my eyes like smoke blown away by the wind. Once again, the entire cabin looked like a wreck that smelled of rotting wood.

I couldn't help but say to myself, "Were those ghosts?"

"It should be!" Ruan Dalong wasn't sure what we saw.

I quickly asked, "Have you ever seen a ghost?"

"I haven't seen it. Ruan Dalong shook his head and said: "I have been in the hands of Tanshen for more than 20 years, but I have never seen a real ghost, and I can't tell what those things were just now." If it's an illusion......"

"Impossible!" Ruan Dalong immediately denied his thoughts: "Illusion must have a warlock cast nearby, the ghost ship is a real existence, where did the warlock come from." ”

While the two of us were talking, a sudden fire broke out in the corridor, and the sound of soldiers running back and forth suddenly came, and Master Li, who had just disappeared in front of us, slammed open the door: "Dao Chief, it's not good! It's not good! There are Yin soldiers outside, and there are Yin soldiers killing people!"

The Taoist priest who had just disappeared suddenly appeared in the room again, looking like he had just stood up from meditation: "Nonsense, where did the Yin soldiers come from in broad daylight?"

"What a Yin Soldier!" Lord Li shouted, "You can go outside and have a look, the Yin Soldier is about to get on the boat!"

"Take me over!" the Taoist priest pulled out the sword hanging on the wall and strode out of the cabin, and Ruan Dalong and I followed each other to the deck.

At this time, a double-decker building ship appeared on the opposite side of the battleship, and countless armor soldiers held Changge across the deck, and others held bows and crossbows aimed at our warship.

Master Li pointed his finger in front of him and said in a trembling voice: "Look, isn't that the crossbow array of the Qin army?

The Taoist priest couldn't help laughing and said, "We found it, we found it...... Penglai Xiandao is nearby. ”

Master Li was shocked and said, "Dao Chief, what did you say?"

The Taoist priest was already so excited that he couldn't speak: "Those soldiers have shadows, they are not Yin soldiers. It turned out that Xu Fu had not fled overseas back then, but found Penglai Immortal Island. Even the Qin army he took away is immortal, and we have finally found Immortal Island!"
