Chapter 134: Departure
After Han Ping swallowed the pill given by the Great Elder, his strength had greatly improved, comparable to the master of internal strength in the late stage of Zhuangqi.
However, where is the pill given by the Great Elder what is the strength enhancement treasure medicine, but the Gu Worm Heart Eater, which is a demon worm refined by the Great Elder with human blood, and belongs to the same category as the one given to Zhang Fang.
After Han Ping was subdued, the Mind Eater spit out part of the demonic power, strengthened his physical body, and then entrenched in his heart to sleep.
And every day, his heart would be painful for half an hour. This is when the Hearteater devours the blood of the heart.
The hearteater needs to consume blood to maintain its vitality every day, and once the king leopard blows the bone flute, it will become very excited, and then gnaw at the host's heart, and the pain will not be desired.
Different rhythms can control different Gu worms.
And once the heart eater is too far away from the bone flute, it will die immediately, thus secreting a highly toxic poison that will instantly cause heart failure, thus killing the host.
Now Han Ping is under control and has become a slave of Wang Leopard.
"I know one person, the new hall master of the Tiger Evil Hall. Han Ping didn't dare to disobey Wang Leopard's orders now, after all, his life was dragging in the palm of Wang Leopard's hand.
"He was the first hall master of the Tiger Demon Hall, and his strength was not enough to suppress the subordinates in the hall, and he was in urgent need of strength. ”
"Okay, wait a few more days to see how it goes, and if there is no movement, go to Haizhao. ”
Wang Bao had already had a plan, he only needed to control a hall master with real power, and ordered him to secretly kill people and take out dirt, and send people's hearts back to Xiangcun for storage one after another, and he didn't need to hang himself on the tree of Zhang Fang.
"Guard!" a voice came from outside the door.
"Come in!"
"Wei Shou, this is sent by the hall master. One of his men came in and took out a white porcelain vase and presented it to Han Ping.
Han Ping took the porcelain bottle, and inside the porcelain bottle was a round pill.
In the past two days, Zhang Fang has consolidated the true skills of the dragon elephant, and at the same time practiced the Iron Heart Fist, which has been a little hot, and today he plans to leave for Pingkang County.
Now in a critical period in Yunzhou, in order to travel easily and avoid unnecessary trouble, he decided to travel in casual clothes.
Pingkang County is thousands of miles away from the Haisha Gang, and you need to pass through Qinghong County, where Huayang Gate is located, on the way.
This trip is not easy to walk by land, unless it is at the speed of a life-threatening stagecoach traveling 800 miles a day, and it is also the price of running to the death of a horse, but even then it will take three days.
The land route is rugged and winding, blocked by mountains and rivers, and the time is also doubled, so it is not the first choice.
The same is true of the last time I went to Tianqingmen, the chariots and horses traveled more than 200 miles a day, which was very slow, and at this speed, I don't know how long it would take to reach Pingkang County.
Therefore, Zhang Fang decided to take the waterway, there are many rivers in the southern region, and many merchant ships are by water, which is convenient for shortening the trip, if it is not for the waterway to Tianqingmen, he will not take the land route last time.
The Songhua River is the most important water transportation artery in Linshan County, and many merchant ships depart from the ferry port every day to the counties.
Before going to the ferry, Zhang Fang deliberately went to the headquarters of the Haisha Gang.
At the headquarters, I met Elder Hong Xingsen and chatted a few words, and told Xiong Tiannan about his whereabouts.
As the head of the hall, you can't disappear without explanation.
Xiong Tiannan also knew Zhang Fang's strength, and he didn't have to worry about Zhang Fang's safety, so he agreed to Zhang Fang's request.
After getting Xiong Tiannan's affirmation, Zhang Fang chose a good big ring knife as a self-defense, and he couldn't walk the world without a suitable weapon.
Moniu Ferry, one of the important wharves in Linshan County.
At a glance, the waves of the Songhua River are rolling, the torrent is fiercely lapping the shore, and the green hills on both sides of the bank are still majestic.
Countless flags are flying at the ferry, most of them are the flags of major chambers of commerce, the shop flags of restaurants, but the most prominent of the many flags is a golden flag: sea sand.
The Haisha Gang is the largest force in Linshan County except for the government, and it is even heavier than the majesty of the government.
The county seat of Linshan is managed by Youhun's Chasing Wind Hall, so you can see people from Chasing Wind Hall everywhere maintaining order.
Zhang Fang was dressed in black, carrying a big ring knife, pretending to be a swordsman walking the rivers and lakes, and before coming here, he ordered someone to obtain the qualification to take a boat.
There are still many merchant ships loading goods, and it will take at least an hour to complete the loading, so the opening time is delayed.
There are many restaurants at the ferry port, where people on the boat can settle down and rest, and by the way, solve the restless belly.
Zhang Fang was on the top floor of Anxin Restaurant at this time, there were a lot of people here, and his location was not bad, and he could see the river flowing bravely in the distance at a glance.
I saw huge ships on the river, hundreds of boats competing for the current, and thousands of sails racing.
The ferry port is even more busy, with people coming and going, and tons of cargo are unloaded from the ship and reloaded with new goods.
On the side of Zhang Fang were individual tourists who were eating meat and drinking, as well as the guards of merchant ships, who were chatting loudly at the moment, looking very noisy.
This is often the case in places like ferries, and many merchant ships take the waterways in the hot season, and the flow of people is very large, and few people are willing to come here except for those who take boats.
At this moment, four people came in, all dressed in black coats and light-colored trousers, and after they sat down, they ordered some food and drink, and began to talk loudly.
Listening to their voices, they don't sound like the locals of Linshan County, but with a foreign accent, but you can still understand them if you listen carefully.
Zhang Fang was very close to them, and he was alone, so he listened to what they said when he had nothing to do.
Facing him diagonally was a fat man, his face covered in fat accumulation, his skin dark and shiny, and his face oozing sticky oil.
"The last time I followed the Ma family merchant ship through the mouth of the quiver, the river was full of broken planks, only some scattered goods were left that did not sink to the bottom, and there was a very heavy smell of blood in the river water, and there were many corpses floating on it, which were pecked clean by river birds."
The fat man spoke in a low tone, painting his voice and color, and there were many guests next to him who pricked up their ears to listen like Zhang Fang, and they were all shocked when they heard it.
"Ma family, isn't that one of the largest chambers of commerce in Yunzhou?" the people around listened and began to discuss.
"Yes, that's it!" someone responded, they are all people from the rivers and lakes who have traveled from south to north, and they have no fixed residence, and sometimes they will escort merchant ships for the Chamber of Commerce, and they will exchange points for entanglement.
"I have also heard about this matter, the Ma family has indeed suffered a lot of losses recently, at least one million taels, and it is said that three thousand people died. ”
Someone sneered: "Heh, 3,000 people? You can tell you why! The Ma family has only dispatched three merchant ships recently, and the total number of people is only 1,000, where are the 3,000 people?"
The fat man didn't care about everyone's discussions, and he liked everyone's startled expressions very much, as if he would have a great sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.
The man on the side of the fat man frowned and said: "Did you encounter a flood disaster, these days it has rained heavily in Qinghong County for five days and five nights, and the weather is bad and prone to water disasters, I'm afraid it's unlikely that the merchant ships in the past want to survive safely!"
