"You kill my disciple!" Sorami drew his sword and slashed directly at the boatman, and the cold sword qi instantly split the boatman in half from the top of his head." Text: Ω Δ

The figures separated from the middle, one to the left and the other to the right, floated a few feet from the bow of the boat, and said at the same time: "I won't let you get on the boat, but you want to get on." Then stay and be my osprey! ”

As soon as the words fell, the human-faced osprey hovering on the mast immediately swooped down, stretched out two thin human hands from the feathers under its abdomen, grabbed the Wudang disciple who had collapsed on the deck and threw himself into the water.

Immediately, there was a shock and blood waves rolling under the boat, and the miserable scream moved sideways, and several Wudang disciples desperately struggled to float to the surface, and they were pulled back by the osprey shuttling in the water. Standing on the boat, although he couldn't see the movements of the osprey in the water, he could see the bloody flesh tumbling up and down layer by layer like a dead fish in the splashing waves around several Wudang disciples. The flesh and skin on the bodies of those people became less and less between the ups and downs, and even the internal organs were continuously thrown out of the body and sunk into the water, and several bloody and blurred faces gradually turned into skeletons with white bones exposed.

In a fit of rage, he swung his palm sideways into the river, and the corpse that was almost skinless and the eagle that was shocked by the palm power flipped to the surface of the water. With this palm, he ended the pain of his disciple, and he also played with a murderous aura.

"Give back my disciple's life!"

Seeing the sound of the Dao Chang violently, the person thought like a flying eagle into the clouds, and his body turned into four shadows, fists, palms, legs, and claws to attack the opponent's vital points.

The boatman still floated unavoidably, allowing the other party to punch him in the face.

"Bang!" Kumi Dao Chang suddenly heard a loud noise, and the figure in front of him was like a splash that had been blown away, exploding into a sky of water droplets and dissipating in the air. Then, the droplets of water in the air condensed into a silver-white column of water, and followed the palm of his retracted fist and hit the empty door.

Sorumi Dao Chang almost cocooned himself between his full efforts, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. Immediately fell backwards, trying to use the kung fu of the iron plate bridge to dodge the fatal blow.

The water column did not hit the empty spot, but stopped in front of his face as he looked up.

Sorumi watched the column of water suspended in front of him, which began to squirm from the top and turned into a human face, followed by two pairs of white miserable arms also stretched out under the face, and grabbed Kumi Dao Chang under him.

Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, he could only raise his palm accordingly, and the moment when the palm power collided with the ghost claw. Sorumi Daoist only felt that the place where his palm touched seemed to be empty, and the power of his palm seemed to be empty in the sky again.

This time, Sorumi Dao Chang really couldn't continue to rely on his strength, and the whole person fell straight down the deck. The big ship, which had just been able to carry dozens of people, seemed to be unable to withstand the impact of the Empty Seeing Daoist, and it exploded under him. All the people on the boat fell into the river.

After seeing that the Taoist chief fell into the water, he couldn't care about others anymore, and there was only one thought left in his heart: "Escape!" "Seeing the waves with both hands and feet, like a barracuda flying in the water, it escapes. Before he could rush far, he felt that the qi and blood in his body were churning, and a feeling of suffocation that was too strong hit his heart, as if he would die of blood if he didn't stop to breathe.

As soon as Sorumi Dao Chang surfaced, he felt the pressure behind him gradually increase after changing his breath, as if there was a behemoth standing behind him, staring at him with fierce eyes.

"Aren't you slow?" The boatman's voice was full of jokes: "Few of your disciples are faster than you. Do you want me to give you a ride? ”

Kumi Dao Chang only felt that someone slapped him heavily on his vest, and with the blood spurting out, he drew a few feet down the water, and fell to the river beach like a fly. He thought he was going to die, but he didn't see the boatman continue to chase him.

At the same time, the people who somehow struggled to get out of the water also climbed to the bank of the river near Sorumi in 66 succession.

Tang Shuai said this, took a deep breath and said: "After we went ashore, we have been circling on the river beach, no matter how we run, it is pitch black, and we can't see anything clearly. There are fewer and fewer people around us, and there are only four of us left. I thought this was the end, but I didn't expect it, but I saw a glimmer of light. We ran as hard as we could where there was light, and at last we saw you. ”

"Oh!" Xie Bangui said: "You said that the Kongjian Daoist was beaten ashore?" Do you see clearly? ”

"It's clear! He was not far from me. Tang Shuai affirmed: "I can even hear clearly what the ghost said to him." ”

The Daoist Master suddenly said angrily: "Lord Xie, what do you mean? Do you suspect that Poor Dao is not in collusion with that ghost? ”

"Nope!" Xie Bangui said unhurriedly: "I just think it's strange, why didn't that ghost pull you into the water, but hit you to the shore instead?" ”

Kong Jian angrily tore open his robe: "Could it be that the palm behind Poor Dao is fake?" ”

"I'm sorry." Xie Bangui arched his hand: "I've been doing it for a long time, I want to doubt everything, don't mind." ”

Daoist Kongjian still didn't give up: "Speaking of doubts, Poor Dao thinks that Master Xie is even more suspicious. Why did you attack my disciple on the official road? ”

"If you don't make a move, you're waiting to be killed by a ghost!" The tall fat man was also angry: "Those two people have been dead since they flew over, don't we be heavy-handed, aren't we waiting to be attacked?" What about the famous places in the rivers and lakes? Why can't you figure it out in four, five or six? ”

"You dare to humiliate the poor Dao?" Sorami stood up.

Lao Qian hurriedly started a round: "Dao Chang is angry, Lord Gao is used to being reckless, why should you be angry with him." I'm sorry for him. ”

"Humph!" Sorumi snorted coldly and sat back.

The tall fat man wanted to scold again, but he was pulled by Xie Bangui's arm. The audience fell into an awkward silence.

Or did Lao Qian break the silence: "Brother Xie, what should we do now?" ”

Xie Bangui said: "Then go to the Tang Gate." Tell everyone to pack up their things, and when it is dawn, they will rush to the nearest guard station, and this time we will take the military road. ”

"Taking the military road is a good way. It's also safer. Lao Qian said: "I'll let the heavy scatter be arranged." ”

"Wait." Xie Bangui stopped Zheng Chongshan and whispered a few words in his ear.

Zheng Chongshan's eyes widened and said, "Can this work?" ”

Lao Qian scolded angrily: "Lord Xie's words are my words, how he arranges, you can do it, where is so much nonsense." ”

"Yes!" Zheng Chongshan walked down mysteriously with a few Fire God Guardians, and no one knew what he had done.

Mei Xin'er lowered her voice and asked the fat man, "What is the way of soldiers?" ”

"The military road is actually the same road as the official road, but the way of walking is not the same." Gao Fatzi explained: "Every county and every city in our Ming Dynasty has a guard station, and the military households of those guard houses usually have a task in addition to farming, which is to raise horses. Once there is a war, as long as the size of the troops is not large, it is completely possible to walk along the guard station and change horses anytime and anywhere, so that the degree can be about 30% faster than usual. ”

"That's not the most important thing." Xie Bangui said: "The most important thing is that in order to prove the identity of the knights, the guard will put a small flag behind the horses to represent the guard post they pass by. This kind of 'sending off flags' is often not changed once in dozens, or even hundreds of years, and I don't know how many heroes and generals have been sent away. The military might and evil spirit on the banner have endured for a long time, and the ghosts and gods have avoided it. We will be much safer if we leave with the sending flag. ”

"I see?" Mei Xin'er suddenly realized: "Then why didn't you go to the military path before?" ”

Xie Bangui said meaningfully: "I didn't expect it to be so troublesome before!" Forget it, don't talk about it, it's important to hurry. ”

Xie Bangui wore a brocade guard waist card on his body, and not only was no one stopped him from walking the military path, but on the contrary, he received a high-level courtesy. In just one day, they walked nearly 300 miles, and in the evening, they moved into the camp along the river as planned.

The chief officer of the river camp respectfully let Xie Bangui into the big tent and put the banquet on the table: "My lord has been tired all the way, we don't have anything decent here, but the river fish is not bad, please try it." ”

Xie Bangui frowned and said, "The river is only open here?" ”

"No, it's not ......" The chief officer of the river camp waved his hand again and again: "The river has been opened a long time ago, this fish was raised by us in water, and we have not fed anything, so we ensure that it is clean." ”

Eating open river fish, the picture is that the fish belly is clean, and the fish raised have naturally eaten, and they can't eat a mouthful of fresh taste. The chief officer also thanked the half-ghost and was dissatisfied, and he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Xie Bangui was not a member of the officialdom, so he naturally didn't care what he was thinking, and asked directly: "You have been in the river camp for a long time, have you ever seen a ghost boat on this river?" ”

"I've heard of it! But I haven't seen it. The chief officer said: "This kind of thing is often talked about by the older generation, but how many can really be encountered?" ”

Not long after his words fell, there was a burst of firecrackers in the direction of Daying Wharf. The chief officer of the river camp was taken aback, and immediately said unhappily: "What's the matter? ”

The battalion soldier reported: "There is a ghost ship outside. ”

"Fart!" The head of the river camp was so angry that he scolded: "Didn't you see the lord here, what nonsense is it?" ”

"Go out and have a look!" Xie Bangui stood up and strode towards the river camp wharf, and when he was far away, he saw several veterans holding firecrackers and staring nervously at the river. An old ship that was unbearable was slowly approaching in the direction of the dock along the current.

Tang Bing, who was walking behind, couldn't help but exclaim: "Ghost ship! It's coming! ”

Tang Shuai glared at the other party: "Don't panic, Master Xie is here!" ”

Xie Bangui instructed the soldiers nearby: "Find a way to tow the ghost boat to the shore, you don't need to let it enter the camp, just get ashore." ”

"Big ...... My lord...... This...... This is unlucky! The soldiers were so frightened that their legs were weak, and they said bitterly: "The elders said that when the ghost ship docks, it will accept people." Except for putting the whip and throwing the wine out, you can't touch anything! ”

Xie Bangui looked at the chief officer of the river camp without saying a word. Although that man didn't want to touch the ghost ship in his heart, he could talk about it in Jinyiwei, would he dare not move? I could only stubbornly scold: "My lord, let you do what you want, where is there so much nonsense." Hurry up and call a few people over, who dares not to listen carefully to your flesh and skin. ”

The soldiers had no choice but to call a few veterans, hook the boat with flying claws and drag the ghost boat to the shore. As soon as the ship came to shore, the soldiers dodged away like a plague god.

Xie Bangui jumped onto the boat with a few people from the tall fat man.

The ghost ship still maintains the appearance of Tang Shuai when he first boarded the ship, and even the rotten wood on the deck has not been moved, but the degree of decay has intensified a lot, if it weren't for Xie Bangui and the others, they are afraid that the rotten deck will not be able to bear their weight at all.

"You guys go down first, and leave the torches for me." Xie Bangui took the torch from Lao Qian's hand to lift his breath and walked forward, carefully squatted down at the door of the cabin, and probed the torch as far as possible into the cabin.

In addition to the debris in the cabin, there is stagnant water more than half a foot high. The dark red firelight moved a few feet down the cabin and stopped, shining on the water like a puddle of blood surging at the bottom of the boat, and a few pairs of cloth shoes worn by Taoist priests could be faintly seen floating in the waves, and then there were half-light and half-dark lights and shadows and scratches on the hull of the boat.
