After settling down, Zhou Hao and Qinyin went downstairs to the inn for dinner.

The rooms in this inn are fairly clean, but the food is not very good, just barely admitted. After Zhou Hao ate a little indiscriminately, he waved his hand to the innkeeper, and took out a five-tael silver ingot from his arms and put it on the table, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, I will ask you about something, if you answer to my satisfaction, the silver will belong to you!"

The chubby shopkeeper looked at the shiny silver ingots on the table, and his eyes suddenly exuded a look of ecstasy, and he said in a loud voice: "If you ask, as long as I know, there will be no concealment!"

It's a full five taels of silver, I'm afraid it's worth a month's income from this fat shopkeeper to open a store, no wonder he is so happy.

Zhou Hao smiled slightly: "Shopkeeper, thirty miles west of this Huishui Town, is there a place called Blood Jiaowu?"

The smile on the fat shopkeeper's face froze: "Guest officer, why are you asking this blood dock?"

"You just have to answer!" Zhou Hao said as he picked up the ingot of silver and tossed it lightly in his hand.

The fat shopkeeper's eyes moved up and down with the silver in Zhou Hao's hand, and he hurriedly replied: "Yes, yes, there is indeed a place called Blood Jiaowu!

"Oh? Why?"

"Guest officer, you don't know, we have been making trouble with water bandits here before, and that Blood Jiaowu is the lair of water bandits. Not only can we not do the business of looking at the boats, but we even have to offer money and women to those water bandits every year to barely keep one side safe!"

Zhou Hao waved his hand and interrupted the fat shopkeeper's chatter: "Pick the important ones." ”

"Yes, yes, yes! Six years ago, for some reason, those bandits were killed overnight! Thousands of bandits, even if they were a group of chickens and ducks, I am afraid they would have to kill them for a long time! We have seen it from afar, and the river is half dyed red!"

"Let's get to the point!" Zhou Hao flipped his palm, slapped the table heavily, and the silver ingot in his hand suddenly sank into the table.

"Yes, yes!" The fat shopkeeper looked at the silver ingots that were completely sunk into the table, and couldn't help but stretch out his sleeves and wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, and then said: "Since then, the blood dock has been haunted!"

Zhou Hao's eyes straightened: "Haunted?"

"Yes, it's haunted! We have people here who are brave and not afraid of death, thinking that there must be treasures hidden in the blood dock, so they go in groups to hunt for treasures, but after entering, none of them have come out! There is obviously no figure in there, but you can't get out when you go in, isn't it a haunted thing? And in the middle of the night, there are often screams and ghost screams, it must be the souls of those water bandits who are not gone, and they come out to find someone to pay for their lives!"

"There's really no one in the Blood Dock?"

"Definitely not! It's been six years, and if there are people inside, where can they stay!"

"And no ship has docked anywhere?"

"Guest officer, are you kidding? The passing ships can't hide, where do you dare to dock there!"

Zhou Hao frowned, pondered for a while, and then said, "Okay, it's nothing for you, let's go busy!"

"Oh!" the fat shopkeeper heard this, looked greedily at the silver on the table, and cringed and wanted to speak, but he really didn't dare to open his mouth.

Zhou Hao smiled slightly, slapped his palm on the desktop slightly, and the silver ingot, which was completely trapped in the desktop, suddenly bounced up, not biased or oblique, and just fell into the arms of the fat shopkeeper.

The fat shopkeeper hurriedly grabbed the silver that fell from the sky with both hands, his eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, and he nodded and said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

Zhou Hao waved his hand and asked him to retreat.

Qin Yin saw the fat shopkeeper walking away, so he attached it to Zhou Hao's ear, and said mysteriously: "Little thief, do you want to rob that blood Jiaowu?"

Zhou Hao smiled without saying a word, picked up the coarse tea on the table, and drank it clean in one gulp

Zhou Hao sat cross-legged in front of the bed, concentrating on cultivating the thick earth skill. It wasn't until the third watch that the little goblin on the bed was completely asleep, and then he stood up silently, and his body flashed out of the door.

The mountain tiger lying in the room saw that Zhou Hao was going out, and he also followed.

Zhou Hao hurriedly hugged the head of the mountain tiger and whispered in its ear: "Mountain tiger, you are here to guard the door for the little master, don't let the little goblin run away, let alone let people hurt her, do you hear?"

The mountain tiger shook its big furry tail, and its big head nodded at two o'clock slightly, and it really lay down at the door of the room.

In the dark, Zhou Hao smiled slightly, followed him downstairs, took out the neighing beast from the stable, and walked along the Longxing River, towards the blood Jiaowu thirty miles west of the town.

At the speed of the Hissing Wind Beast, in just a few moments, the Blood Jiaowu was already close at hand. Zhou Hao hid the Hissing Wind Beast behind a hillside, climbed up the hill by himself, and looked at the Blood Jiaowu not far away.

The once rampant Blood Jiaowu is entrenched in a mountain col by the Longxing River, surrounded by continuous mountains hundreds of zhang high, and it is difficult to attack it by land as long as it holds a narrow pass.

In the whole dock, the houses are lined up one after another, covering an area of hundreds of acres, which shows the grand occasion at that time. It's a pity that six years have passed, and these houses have long been dilapidated, overgrown with barren grass, and there is still a little bit of green ghost fire, which disappears from time to time between the ruins and broken walls, and it is a grim cemetery!

And in the place close to the Longxing River, a small wharf ruins can be faintly seen. At that time, the bandits probably set out from here to plunder the passing merchant ships.

After carefully looking at the scene in the Blood Jiaowu Dock, even Zhou Hao thought that in such a place, I am afraid that it is really impossible to hide people. But Nangong Qing said that the Nangong family had sent ten masters to guard this blood dock, and one of them was a top master.

So where exactly are they hiding?

Zhou Hao is not sure that he can beat a top master. Especially after seeing the power of the talisman, Zhou Hao clearly realized that even if he had the trick of arrow formation, he was by no means invincible in the world.

Although Zhou Hao has not studied the real talisman, but combined with the use of the talisman and the two pieces of information from the Xuanyuan royal family, he vaguely guessed that the production method of the talisman may be similar to the arrow array, but the medium used is different. The arrow array is to engrave the formation on the arrow, while the rune is to draw the formation on the rune paper.

Since Nangong Qing is just a first-class master, he has two talismans on his body to save his life. The ten masters guarding here, even if they ignore the difference in strength, if everyone has a few talismans in their hands, it will be enough to bombard Zhou Hao into slag!

What should I do? Zhou Hao turned his head to look at the hissing wind beast behind the hillside, and suddenly had an idea.
