Chapter 831: Water Bandits

It's a pity that there are nothing valuable in the treasure chest, that is, some pieces of meat and coelenteric tissue that increase attributes, anyway, Qin Fen and they will not be eaten.

At this time, the owner of the caravan came over, trembling like a rooster in the water, and said with a pale face:

"Thank you for the help of a few strong men, the little old man is grateful......"

This person's words were very respectful, obviously after seeing the force value of Qin Fen and the others, he was afraid that they would turn their faces again.

Everyone easily saw through his careful thoughts, but they just smiled and didn't care.

"It's just a matter of drawing a knife to help each other when the road is uneven," Qin Fen smiled, "This world is not peaceful, and it is not easy for everyone." ”

These words may have pierced the tears of the fat shopkeeper, he wiped his eyes with his white and tender hands, and suddenly said:

"A few strong men, please stay!"

"Huh?"

The fat shopkeeper hurriedly said: "I'm waiting here to go to Qingshui County, Luoyang, but it's still hundreds of miles away from here. ”

After speaking, he was afraid that Qin Fen and the others would refuse, so he hurriedly said: "When the time comes, the little old man will definitely give a hundred taels of silver tattooed to thank you!" ”

After the fat shopkeeper finished speaking, he looked at Qin Fen and the others with a nervous face.

The goods he transported were medicinal materials, but there was a cost in them, plus the loss of so many people this time, the settling-in allowance and pension fee were also a lot of expenses, and a hundred taels of silver was already the limit of what he could take.

It's just that whether you can use this little wealth to impress these masters is still two words.

Qin Fen thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "Is there a monster in your Qingshui County?" ”

The fat boss hesitated and said, "This, but there is no ......"

"None? Then we won't go. ”

"Don't! Yes, yes! The fat shopkeeper was sweating anxiously, looked left and right, and then whispered, "In the east of Qingshui County, there is a lotus bay, and there is a fish demon living in the lotus bay, which seems to be a carp into essence, and it is necessary to eat a pair of boys and girls every year, otherwise it will make waves......

“……”

Everyone said they were a little confused.

Why does this plot sound so familiar, it's the inspiration king in Journey to the West!

Pit daddy, if you kill the carp essence, will it lead Guanyin Bodhisattva out!

This script is too messy!

After a brief discussion, everyone agreed to the guy's request.

Because Qingshui County seems to be similar to Guobei Town, it is a place where demons are rampant, and how to do it is good, you can completely think about it when you arrive. The plot of the big world is mixed and messy, but if you want to say that Guanyin Bodhisattva will appear, everyone will definitely not believe it.

Seeing Qin Fen and the others nodding down, the fat shopkeeper was naturally overjoyed, and hurriedly nodded and beckoned everyone over, leading them to the Taoist priest.

"Wang Zhenren, these heroes are going to escort me to Qingshui County, you talk first."

"Well said, well said."

This Taoist priest has a mustache, is as tall as one meter six, looks very slippery and treacherous, and is skinny, wearing a greasy apricot robe, and his body is as thin as ribs, and he is like a large mouse. But no matter how treacherous and slippery the bastard is, after seeing everyone kill the giant demon neatly, he has become honest and obedient, and he almost doesn't think he is a little brother.

In Lanruo Temple, neither Yan Chixia nor Xiahou Swordsman were seen, and they didn't know much about the high-end force value of this world, so this was undoubtedly a good opportunity at this moment.

How do you get a stranger to speak?

The first is to quickly contact feelings, and the second is to extort confessions by torture.

It is not advisable to torture to extract confessions, but the way to contact feelings is very simple, just wine and meat.

The word "wine and meat friend" seems to be a derogatory term, but in the past, it was a positive word, after all, the ancients lived a hard life, and it was rare to be able to eat meat a few times a year, but they could take out their most precious food to share, and the weight of friendship can be imagined.

So a few pieces of meat were swallowed, a bottle of wine was drunk, and this obscene Taoist priest was no longer vigilant, with red eyes and a big tongue, he was already a brother and sister to the Titan.

"Ahh......h

The Titan asked with open eyes, "Then why can't you subdue that monster?" ”

Wang Daoist blushed and slapped his chest with a bang:

"Who said I couldn't submit it! If you don't come, I will lie on the bed for half a year, and I will also ask Master Zu to come up and kill it in the palm of my hand! ”

"It's just that I'm in Maoshan lineage, and what I learned is the spell of catching ghosts and driving away evil spirits, and the effect of dealing with such monsters that have become spirits is inevitably a little discounted...... It's not that I don't give my strength, how can the enemy be too strong! ”

Fearing that everyone would not believe him, he took out a crumpled yellow talisman from his sleeve with red eyes, spat at the palm of his hand with a snort, and then slapped it on the head of a guard who had unfortunately died, and the nurse really stood up in front of everyone's eyes.

The Taoist priest said triumphantly:

"Ordinary corpse exorcism techniques often require a charm as a guide, supplemented by a soul bell, so that the corpse can walk stiffly and rush at night. With just one yellow talisman, I can lure the souls of beasts that have wandered in the wild and have not yet dissipated into the corpses, not only to hurry, but also to drive and hurt people, even if they walk in the daytime! ”

Titan nodded and continued to pour wine: "It's just that since you have learned the great art of exorcism and reincarnation of ghosts passed down by Maoshan Yan, how can you be so downcast that you can run the rivers and lakes and earn such hard-earned money?" ”

This Taoist priest was already drunk, coupled with the conscious hypnotic guidance of everyone, he soon poured beans into the bamboo tube, and explained everything in 1510.

It turns out that this guy is really a Maoshan Taoist, but the level is very low, basically similar to the kind of little people who carry water and do chores, and they didn't learn much, but they were driven down the mountain because they were lazy and slippery.

Fortunately, with some skills learned, and he is a master who can blow, he can still live, but the world is difficult, and his life is dry. This time, the caravan boss hired someone to protect the bodyguard, and the pay was not bad, so this guy followed.

If he just encounters a kitten or a puppy, or a lonely ghost or something, he thinks he can deal with it, and by the way, he shows his image of being wise and martial, who knows that he will encounter a giant demon as soon as he comes up, how can he play this?

If it weren't for Qin Fen and the others who happened to appear, with the urine personality of this guy, maybe they would have already taken the road and fled.

In addition, everyone heard that the Xuanmen Sect in this world is Shu Mountain, the ancestral land of the sword immortals, but Shu Mountain is far away in Bashu, and the mountain peaks are often covered by clouds and fog.

In addition, there are also good and evil forces such as Pudu Cihang and the Moon Worship Demon Sect, which can be described as complex, with dragons and snakes rising together.

And when they had put it in order, they set out on their journey again, and after a day's walk, they came to a ferry and began to advance by water.

Needless to say, the rest of the people naturally lived on cargo ships.

And Qin Fen and other "masters" are on an exquisite Mingwa boat, the front cabin is equipped with a cupboard, equipped with tea, wine and food, the middle cabin is elegantly furnished, calligraphy, painting and antiques, everything is available, and even specially equipped with maids and small maids for everyone, it can only be said that the fat shopkeeper also has a heart.

The food on the ship is mostly based on local materials, because the space is limited and there are not many things loaded, that is, there are many local materials.

For example, this day's breakfast, the bowl is filled with yellow and clear millet porridge, the millet that boils the porridge is naturally the top grade, the slightly condensed rice soup on the surface looks like a layer of grease, the millet below is slightly stirred with chopsticks, it is thick and sticky rolling, and every millet is cracked like a flower.

Among the three small plates, one was filled with salted duck eggs, which were marinated and cooked, and the golden egg yolk was still soaked in oil.

Another small dish should be filled with freshly picked reed buds, but I am afraid that it is less than half a moment, it can be said that it is verdant, and there is some transparent slurry at the break, and some hairy salt is sprinkled on it, and there are a few drops of red chili oil like dew drops on it, which makes people's appetite rise up at once.

The third small dish is vegetarian fried dogwood, which is directly stir-fried twice with soybean oil and served, and it smells very fragrant.

As soon as everyone finished eating, they heard a noise and noise in front of them, looked at each other, and walked out directly.

Drifting all night, the water is gentle at this moment, and the rain has gradually stopped, and suddenly I see that the blocked place is a big river, the reeds on both sides are floating, and the eyes are full of gray reeds, and seven or eight small boats stuff the river tightly, and the boats are full of firewood and grass, and it is a fire boat when it is lit.

The men leaning on the boat are all lean, dark-skinned, and bare upper body masters, with a mouse braid on the back of their heads, their hands in front of their chests, standing in a hanging, with sharp eyes towards people, looking lazy, obviously fishermen.

On the deck of a cargo ship at the front, there were two groups of people arguing about something.

The Taoist priest Wang ran old into the rivers and lakes, and when he saw this posture, he immediately knew the reason:

"As the saying goes, there are road bandits on the road, and there are water bandits on the water, and these people are here to rob."

Strictly speaking, most of the bandits here are fishermen, and the boats used to block the river look like they are fishing in and out of the river. However, there is a saying that relies on the mountains to eat the mountains and the water to draft the water, these people will come out to barrage the river to beg for money when they are in distress, and they will scatter in a hurry when they encounter the ships of the government!

These fishermen are familiar with small boats, and if they follow them, they will definitely fall into the mud in less than half a mile, so they may not be able to catch up. And these people also know how good they are, and they don't limit the amount of money they want, as long as they have property in their pockets, so the government also regards it as a small problem of scabies, and they have always turned a blind eye, and many merchants have pinched their noses and admitted it.

In fact, this kind of thing has been common since ancient times. Many old farmers in Shanxi in the last century, when they went to work in the fields, they would bring their own guns, and if there were pedestrians passing by, they would make a cameo appearance as a roadblock bandit, which can be regarded as a long-standing business.

After listening carefully, I realized that there was a mistake in the asking price, and these fishermen saw that the fat shopkeeper was raw, so they wanted to make more money, after all, they were not repeat customers, and they did not need to be affectionate at all.

The fat shopkeeper naturally refused, he folded several guys some time ago, and it was in anger that he was blackmailed again, how could he not be angry in his heart?

If it's normal, it's just that, but now there are more than a dozen heroes and heroes on the ship, where can they endure this bad breath?

So the atmosphere suddenly became tense under the push of both sides.
