Chapter Eighty-Four: Chickens Fly and Dogs Jump
The Xin'an River in the night is not as noisy as the daytime, and it looks much colder.
However, in the face of the bright moonlight, from time to time, there will be flying fish dancing out of the water, breaking this tranquility.
On the river, there was a small boat full of sails, moving along the current, silently carrying Fang Shuo and the four of them, leisurely sailing towards the Nine Ring Island.
They were followed all the way during the day, and by this point, none of the four had slept. Yao Chuan squinted with his sword in his hand, and slept on a bench waiting for the visitor who was about to come to the door. Han Shuyun was leaning on the mast, breathing long, recuperating. Fu Xinyuan changed his temperament, sat up in the cabin, and began to practice. And Fang Shuo was lying on the roof of the ship, looking at the stars in the night sky and fascinated.
But man is not a night owl, he works during the day and rests at night. Of course, there are many living creatures in the world, and there are many living creatures that only come out at night. But at this time, there was no sound on both sides of the river, not even the slightest movement of insects coming out of the ground.
It's as if the big fish in the river are scared away during the day, and the ones on the shore don't dare to come out.
The bright moon in the sky shifted, and the hours quietly changed, first after the dawn hour, then after the sub-hour, and now it has reached the ugly time, but it is still dragging on.
With a "boom", a big fish in the river jumped out of the water, struggled to shake off the beads of sweat on the scales, and fell back into the water after shining through the moonlight.
However, such a small accident touched the tight heartstrings of the monks hiding on both sides of the Xin'an River.
After a trembling of the shadows of the trees, they all jumped out and stood on the river. All of them were dressed in black and masked, each armed with a weapon.
The moment they left, Yao Chuan got up with his long sword and went to the side of the ship.
"It seems that you can't take it anymore. Just now I was wondering, when are you going to wait, is it the time? Is it the time of the day? Or do you want to wait an extra day? Yaochuan sneered.
One of them pointed to Yaochuan and said, "Where are you from?" There's no place for you to talk here, so hurry up and call Fang Shuo out first, and then go and have some fun." ”
"Hahaha." Yaochuan laughed angrily and pointed at the man, "Remember, if you move your hands in a while, you will be the first to die." Run, maybe I'll let you go if I dislike it. ”
Fortunately, no one was talking nonsense with Yao Chuan anymore, and the leader shouted directly: "Fang Shuo came out to speak." ”
Already knowing what was going on below, Fang Shuo didn't dare to go down from the ship's building, for fear of being used as a punching bag by Yao Chuan, and cut himself down with a sword.
Fang Shuo stood on the roof of the ship, near the edge, and showed his body, and replied loudly to the leader of the question: "Down there is Fang Shuo, may I ask why this fellow Daoist came to ask for advice?" ”
"Fang Shuo, I'll give you two ways to go now, one is to tie up and follow us, and the other is to kill you directly, take your head with you, you can choose for yourself." The leader threatened.
At this time, Han Shuyun and Fu Xinyuan also came to the side of the ship. Han Shuyun spoke first: "Pretending to be a ghost, don't dare to see people, who do you want to fool when you send these people." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a reckless man with one bare arm and a ring knife jumped out of the shore.
"I'll just say, what are you doing with so much talk, how good it would be to cut it directly. We can also save ourselves from being so verbose and upset. The reckless man shouted.
"Okay, refreshed, I'll spare your life later." Yaochuan praised.
The reckless man was the first to jump out, and then he was followed by a number of others. There were men and women, old and young, and there were many of them, but they saw each other, and none of the four of them knew each other.
"Who the hell are you?" Fang Shuo also wanted to ask for some more news.
But as soon as he spoke, he was interrupted by Yao Chuan: "Okay, don't stop your mother-in-law." ”
"Me." Fang Shuo was stunned by Yao Chuan's words, and after spit out a word, he couldn't speak again.
At this point, the knife-wielding reckless man shouted: "You still want to spare my life? Let me take your life first. With that, he jumped up and raised his knife to slash at Yaochuan.
Seeing that the reckless man was about to do something to himself, Yao Chuan nodded and commented, "It's a bit bloody. ”
Immediately, Yao Chuan rolled down from the side of the boat, raised his left hand, and with only the scabbard of his sword, separated his ring knife, and then, with another kick, stomped on the head of the reckless man, and kicked him down the river.
With the strength of this kick, Yao Chuan rushed to the person who was talking to him just now, and said coldly to him: "I said that you will be the first to die." ”
The man was so stunned that he forgot to flee for his life, and remained motionless.
Yao Chuan drew his long sword and spilled a snow-white cold light, taking the person's life.
Standing alone on the river and facing everyone, Yaochuan asked with a sword: "Have any of you been to Qingzhou?" ”
The black-clad and masked monks around them shot at Yao Chuan in unison after a moment of panic. Yao Chuan didn't see anyone answer him, and he didn't want to bother too much, so he killed them all with a wave of his sword.
Over there, Fang Shuo just wanted to shout: "Heaven has the virtue of a good life." But when he thought that Yao Chuan wouldn't listen to him at all, he could only shut up, sighed, and shook his head helplessly.
At this moment, the two groups of people before and after were shocked by Yaochuan.
"The black nails pierce the hands, the front ship retreats, dry wrung the brassica, and the lights are quickly extinguished."
I don't know who shouted, and everyone lost the spirit they had before, and they all took care of themselves and fled for their lives.
Seeing that they wanted to escape, Yao Chuan said again: "Don't run." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the gang fled even more. It can really be said that the eight immortals crossed the sea, each showing their magical powers, and everyone came up with the unique job of pressing the bottom of the box, but they only hated their father and mother for having two legs.
And Yaochuan has never encountered this situation, so he was stunned and didn't know which one to catch.
In a few moments, there were only four of them left.
Yao Chuan snorted coldly, put away his long sword, returned to the boat, and was so angry that he went directly into the cabin.
Han Shuyun turned over on the roof of the ship, and said to Fang Shuo: "It seems that the person who followed us all the way and escaped during the day is not here." But why didn't he come? Is it because you're afraid? Or are they two gangs? ”
Fang Shuo responded: "I also think that these people are not the same group as the people who went to Donghaizhuang to make trouble. ”
Han Shuyun said suspiciously: "By the way, Deacon Fang, earlier, they said that they wanted you to go with them. You say, could these people be looking for you? ”
Fang Shuo shook his head and said, "Looking for me?" But I don't have any enemies. ”
The two of them were still pondering, and below, Fu Xinyuan had watched the play for a long time, and was lying on the side of the boat to reminisce.
He was amazed: "Look at it, this chicken flying dog jumping, it's really not spectacular." ”
But who knows, at this time, the reckless man who was kicked down the river by Yaochuan climbed up again. He came out, and when he saw Fu Xinyuan, he shouted and raised his ring knife, wanting to cut him.
As a result, Fu Xinyuan pressed his head hard angrily: "Dare to interrupt, go down." ”
So the reckless man fell back into the water.
