Chapter Seventy-Nine: Overboard
The next day, everyone set off again for the Zhuang Ze River, but they were suddenly intercepted and killed by the Tianxuan Sect, but fortunately, everyone worked together to repel them, and there were no casualties. There was no obstacle all the way, but there was an attack here, presumably the Tianxuan Sect should be nearby. Seeing that the vast desert was cut off by a large river, and there were no ships around, Bian Che asked everyone to go all the way upstream along the river, and the Tianxuan Sect should be stationed there. Sure enough, after half a day's journey, there was indeed a lonely fort in front of me, but to cross the opposite side, we had to cross a large lake first, and there was only a small boat on the shore that could carry about five people.
"I'll go over and explore the way first, I wonder if the Lord of Fenggu is willing to go with me?" Seeing this, the alliance leader Xue Qingshan said to Feng Yi.
"Okay, let's go over first and see if it's safe on the other side." The Phoenix was very much in favor.
So Xue Qingshan and Feng Yi and a group of five people got on the boat first, and the rest of them waited on the shore. After a long time, I don't know what the situation on the other side is, and everyone is waiting anxiously, and I see one of the people who has just passed back with another bigger boat to pick it up.
"There is no ambush on the other side, this ship is big, you can get on the ship with peace of mind."
When everyone got on the boat one after another, Jiang Qihan was still thinking on the shore, and Fu Xin couldn't help but ask, "Pavilion Master, what's wrong?" ”
Jiang Qihan shook his head, his expression was a little serious, and said, "It's nothing, I just think this trip is too smooth." ”
"Pavilion Master, I will always keep you safe." Fu Xin was afraid that he would be uneasy, so he hurriedly said.
The people on the boat also echoed one by one: "Pavilion Master Jiang, we are all martial arts practitioners, we will definitely not let you have anything to do, you can rest assured." ”
Jiang Qihan smiled as he got on the boat: "Then thank you for your concern, but everyone should be careful themselves, the water is not as good as the land, there should be some people on this boat who don't know the nature of the water." ”
"Pavilion Master Jiang is too worried, this lake is calm and calm, and there is no turbulence, how can anything happen?" A muscular strong man said.
Jiang Qihan smiled indifferently, and then kept staring at the deck of the ship, silent. I don't know if it's because Jiang Qihan's expression is a little dignified, and Qi Niang is also a little uneasy.
Seeing that the shore was in front of them, everyone began to let out a sigh of relief one after another, but before the blink of an eye, the plank of the ship "clicked", the water began to shake, and there were strange sounds under the water, as if someone was swimming on the water, and everyone's expressions gradually began to become vigilant and solemn. After a while, a hole suddenly broke in the deck, and a Tianxuan Sect disciple rushed up from under the deck, and then, the plank under everyone's feet also began to crack, and the lake instantly overflowed. Around the boat, a group of Tianxuan Sect disciples jumped up from the water one after another, and for a while, the people on the boat picked up their weapons one after another, ready to attack.
"Pavilion Master, stand behind me!" Fu Xin said coldly to Jiang Qi.
The whole boat is a master in martial arts, but Jiang Qihan doesn't know martial arts. However, he didn't seem flustered, and calmly stepped aside, staring at the fight of the crowd, perhaps believing that Fu Xin would not let anyone approach him.
Just when he was fighting with the Tianxuan Sect, there was more and more water on the ship, and when he saw that the ship was about to sink, the strong man who was talking big immediately threw the anchor to the shore and shouted at the top of his voice: "The ship is sinking, get ashore quickly!" I'm broken! ”
When everyone heard this, they threw off the Tianxuan Sect and stepped on the anchor chain to perform light skills and flew to the shore, while the rest of the people continued to stay on the ship. When the ship was halfway submerged, all the Tianxuan Sect disciples who appeared were slaughtered by them.
"Let's go ashore!" Bian Che shouted at Qi Niang.
Qi Niang ran to the shore, glanced back, and saw that Fu Xin was following behind with Jiang Qihan, so she was relieved. However, as soon as he reached the shallow water, he heard Fu Xin's exclamation behind him.
"Pavilion Master!"
Looking back, I saw that a few more people flew out of the lake at some point, wanting to cut off their back road, and Fu Xin also separated from Jiang Qihan in the fight with them. Qi Niang was startled and turned back. Listening to the sound of the boat board clicking and breaking in the lake, Fu Xin suddenly pulled the life-saving rope, looked back, and saw that Qi Niang was stretching out her hand towards Jiang Qihan, and the two of them both sank into the lake.
Ye Jiu, who was on the shore, hurriedly stepped forward to rescue, but was stopped by Bian Che raising his hand. Bian Che's face was extremely gloomy, but with a cold smile, his voice was like a cold iron: "Let her go!" ”
Although Ye Jiu was in a hurry, he didn't dare to disobey Bian Che, so he had to wait on the shore. After a while, two people appeared on the lake, and Qi Niang carried Jiang Qihan's body back to the shore.
Fu Xin hurriedly ran forward, worried and guilty, and went to help Jiang Qi and said, "Pavilion Master, are you okay?" ”
Jiang Qihan coughed twice, obviously choked by the lake water, and there were no wounds except for a slightly frightened look. He shook his head and said, "It's okay. Then he looked up at Qi Niang and cast a grateful gaze, "This time it was Meng Meng who saved my life, thank you." ”
"This is what I should pay back." The corners of Qi Niang's mouth hooked slightly, and then she made sure that Jiang Qihan was okay, so she stood up and returned to Bian Che's side.
Bian Che looked at her coldly, and said sarcastically: "You, very good, know how to repay your kindness." ”
Qi Niang was silent. Ye Jiu looked at Qi Niang speechlessly, with an uncertain expression, then glanced at the shipwreck in the lake and said, "It seems that there is one person missing." ”
After speaking, everyone found out that the strong man who had anchored was not on the shore, and the two people who knew the water hurriedly jumped into the water to find someone, but the lake was too deep, and both of them returned in vain. Feng Yi and Xue Qingshan soon returned to the shore, only to learn that they had been ambushed on the water.
"Alas, that person is a disciple of my villa, what a pity. Are you hurt? Xue Qingshan glanced at the people on the shore and asked.
"It's all skin trauma, don't worry. What can the alliance leader and the Fenggu lord find out here? ”
I saw Xue Qingshan with a puzzled face and said: "It's strange to say, just now I and the Fenggu Lord went in to check, except for a few guards, there was not even a single disciple in the sect, just like a person went to the building to be empty." ”
"How so? Could it be that Gao Li knew how powerful we were, and absconded with the disciples in fear of sin? One of them speculated.
Feng Yi shook his head, "Gao Ya should still be in the sect, when we entered, we saw a lot of doors, he may be on the other end." ”
Jiang Qihan's eyelids jumped, and he repeated: "Organ? ”
Feng Yi walked towards Jiang Qihan, "Pavilion Master Jiang has any opinions, you might as well talk about it." ”
Jiang Qihan smiled slightly, "If it's an ordinary agency, I think I can help a little." ”
A hint of admiration appeared on Feng Yi's face, "The mechanism of the Hanjiang Pavilion is very exquisite, it is difficult for non-professional people to crack it, if the Jiang Pavilion Master can help, it will be great." But don't worry, I see that everyone is already soaked, and it's not too late to dry your clothes before going in. Master Jiang Ge and sit down, and wait for me to do the work for you. ”
"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, and it's really uncomfortable to be wet all over." Jiang Qihan sat down cross-legged elegantly, but his words and deeds were very calm.
After a little rectification, they entered the Tianxuan Sect, and as Xue Qingshan said, the sect was empty. On the walls around the main hall are demons and monsters with different expressions, a total of eight. Directly in front of him was a huge stone statue, I don't know where it was, it was in a strange pose, its eyes were closed, and the stone statue held a torch in its hand, and there was still a faint green smoke on it. It seems that this torch was lit not long ago. Because of this, the Phoenix Descendant asserted that the Tianxuan Sect had not gone far.
I saw Jiang Qihan approaching the stone statue, contemplating for a long time.
Feng Yi asked, "Can Pavilion Master Jiang find something wrong with this stone statue?" ”
Jiang Qihan nodded, "This is where the organ is, as long as you light this torch, the doors of the traps will open, but after opening, I don't know." ”
As soon as his voice fell, one of them smiled and said, "It's not simple, pay attention, I'll light the fire!" With that, the man flew up to the stone statue's hand.
Before Jiang Qihan could stop it, he saw that the man had just used his internal force to light the torch in the stone statue's hand, and the torch "poof" emitted a puff of green smoke, and then extinguished it on the ground, and then the man suddenly fell straight down, rolled on the ground twice, and couldn't stop wailing.
Everyone was startled and hurriedly stepped forward to check, but Jiang Qihan stretched out his hand to stop everyone, frowned and said, "Wait, don't get close to him, he was poisoned by the corpse and is hopeless." ”
The man looked at Jiang Qihan in pain, stretched out his hand to him, and begged, "Pavilion Master Jiang, help me, please save me." ”
Jiang Qihan was indifferent, he frowned and shook his head slowly, "I'm sorry, this poison is so powerful, even I can't save you." ”
Qi Niang looked at Jiang Qihan in horror, only to see that his eyebrows were cold, and he didn't see the kindness and kindness of his usual days, or even a trace of sympathy. Isn't Jiang Qihan a doctor? Why do you see a dying person with no expression at all?
I saw that the man on the ground gradually turned blue from his hands to his face, and finally lay straight on the ground, dead and blind. There was a burst of lamentation.
"Learn this lesson, and don't act rashly again." Jiang Qi said quietly.
Without stopping, Jiang Qihan walked around the stone statue twice, and then said to Feng Yi: "I don't know how to learn from below, and I can't see that there are other mysteries in this mechanism." ”
"Then it's just a matter of lighting the torch again."
But how can the torch be rekindled if it is not close to it, and there is no stick around it?
Jiang Qihan's gaze suddenly looked at Bian Che, and the corners of Bian Che's mouth couldn't help but hook, and then he walked straight to the stone statue and looked up at the torch.
Qi Niang called out suspiciously: "Landlord? ”
Bian Che didn't look at her, and then he squinted his eyes, and accumulated internal force in his hand to push out a palm towards the torch, and suddenly, Qi Niang, who was standing not far from him, immediately felt a wave of heat, and with the sharp palm wind, it rushed to the torch in the stone statue's hand. Suddenly, the torch burned again, and this time it was not extinguished again.
"The owner of the side building has such a deep internal force! It can be ignited in the air. Someone let out an exclamation.
Bian Che looked at Jiang Qihan, and the corners of his mouth hooked a smile without temperature, "Pavilion Master Jiang, is this okay?" ”
"Of course." Jiang Qihan also smiled, but it was very meaningful. "Thank you for your help."
The torch burned for a moment, and the stone statue's eyes slowly opened, and the stone doors around it were opened. However, there are a total of eight stone gates, and it is not clear which one is the right way.
"Alliance leader, should we go our separate ways?" Someone suggested.
Xue Qingshan said: "It's not proper, there aren't many of us, if we go separately, it won't be good if we run into any more organs." ”
"That's right, but there are so many doors, which one do we enter?"
Jiang Qihan stared at the ghost on the stone door and pondered, "If you can trust me, follow me through the door." ”
Only Jiang Qihan knew some organs present, and everyone did not object.
"Okay, I'll go with you Pavilion Master."
