Chapter Seventy-Three: The Clue Is Broken Again!
Hearing Su Hao's words, the True Xuan Daoist couldn't help but sigh, although these Left Dao Warlocks didn't learn and didn't know how to change a good Taoist spell beyond recognition, but he also had to admit that these people had only studied the same spell for hundreds of years, and they had already studied the art of paper men and paper horses thoroughly, and played with flowers, forming a new system.
In terms of the art of paper people and paper horses, these people have surpassed Taoism, at least the art of paper people in their pavilion soap mountain does not have so many miracles.
Su Hao didn't know about Zhenxuan's complicated feelings, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care too much, hundreds of years of grievances and grievances, and the two parties couldn't pee in the same pot at all.
On the other side, the boatmen on the merchant ship watched the small fishing boat leave, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, sailing on the Yellow River, the most afraid is to be targeted by the bandits, once targeted, the light will lose money, the heavy will lose their lives.
Time passed, and the small fishing boat slowly moved along the river, and when the sun gradually set in the west, the boat had already crossed the water.
"Get closer to the merchant ships, and the three of us will take turns keeping vigil tonight."
Looking at the gradually dimming river, He Liu looked at Jiang Shizhong and Gan Yang and said in a deep voice, although it was not clear when the murderer had kidnapped the merchants, but the night was obviously the most suitable.
For ordinary people, the dark night will indeed bring great inconvenience, but for those who practice martial arts, the night is the best cover.
"Okay."
Hearing this, Jiang Shizhong and Gan Yang nodded in response.
The boatman who controlled the small fishing boat was also a veteran who had been fluttering on the Yellow River all the year round, and when he heard He Liu's words, he immediately took the helm and controlled the oars to slow down the small fishing boat, and it was not until it was still a mile away from the merchant ship that the small fishing boat returned to its normal speed.
At this time, an oncoming official ship attracted the attention of Su Hao and a few people, not because there was anything wrong with the official ship, but because there were too many masters on the ship.
"It's King Zheng's ship!"
Seeing a huge Zheng character embroidered on a banner waving in the wind on the official ship, He Liu said in a low voice: "This generation of Zheng Wang Shizi is not a peaceful person, he has a bold reputation for impatience and righteousness in the rivers and lakes, and often there are masters on the rivers and lakes who are invited to Zheng Wang's mansion for banquets, and they are also very enthusiastic about our Jinyi Wei, Brother Su has to be careful." ”
"Little brother will be careful."
Hearing He Liu's words, Su Hao nodded lightly, He Liu's meaning was very clear, that Shizi's brain was blistering, don't be fooled by him.
In fact, even if He Liu doesn't say it, he won't get involved with this kind of person, the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty has long been raised, not to mention that the royal family attaches great importance to the monitoring of the vassal king, and it is okay to do evil, but once there is a change, it will immediately be a thunderous means.
In the night, everything was asleep, the river breeze was blowing, except for the occasional slight sound of water and waves caused by fish jumping out of the water, there was a dead silence all around, and He Liusan took turns to monitor the merchant ships not far away.
In the cabin, Su Hao also used the paper figure to monitor the movement on the ship, but after monitoring for a while, Su Hao gave up, and the paper man was hiding in a small gap, blocked by wooden planks on the left and right, and it was impossible to monitor at all.
Nothing happened overnight.
The next day, the purple gas began to appear.
Su Hao and Zhenxuan Dao Leader meditated on the deck early, absorbing the first wisps of purple qi from the rising sun of heaven and earth.
"A few masters, the little ones have prepared a few bowls of fish soup, and a few masters have warmed up their bodies."
Seeing that Su Hao and the True Xuan Dao Master got up, the boatman came to the two of them with two bowls of fish soup.
Taking the fish soup, Su Hao drank it in one gulp, and immediately felt that his body warmed up a lot, although it was now the season when spring went to summer, but the river was still very cold, even if he had internal strength to protect his body, he still couldn't completely resist the cold.
"This fish soup is well done, and there is almost no earthy smell."
Putting down the bowl, Su Hao nodded and praised, although it is much worse than the chef of the restaurant, but it is a must in dealing with the earthy smell of the Yellow River fish, and the earthy smell in this bowl of fish soup has faded a lot.
"Thank you for your praise, these small people have been floating on the water for a long time, and they eat fish from the Yellow River, so that's what they are good at."
Hearing Su Hao's praise, the boatman smiled and said.
…
As the sun rises and the temperature rises, the cold smell on the river begins to dissipate.
At this time, the small fishing boat suddenly jolted, and the boatman hurriedly said at the stern: "A few masters, be careful, there is a bend in front." ”
For Su Hao and the others, this bump is not a problem at all, even Su Hao, who has the worst martial arts strength, is not moving at all.
After the corner, the small fishing boat regained its steady.
"Not good!"
At this time, He Liu suddenly exclaimed: "Something happened in the back!" ”
Hearing He Liu's voice, Su Hao and the others hurriedly turned around, only to see that two miles away, a merchant ship rushed straight towards the river bank at the bend, and there was no intention of slowing down.
"Turn around!"
Ganyang shouted at the boatman.
Hearing Ganyang's order, the boatman hurriedly turned the rudder, shook the long oar, and the small fishing boat went against the current, speeding towards the stranded merchant ship.
When Su Hao and the others boarded the merchant ship, the whole ship was empty and there was no popularity.
He Liu said in a deep voice: "Shizhong, Ah Yang, did you feel something wrong at the vigil last night?" ”
"Nope!"
Jiang Shizhong and Gan Yang shook their heads at the same time.
Hearing this, He Liu's expression became extremely solemn, although the small fishing boat was still hundreds of meters away from the merchant ship last night, but this distance was nothing to a deaf and clear-sighted martial artist, and it was almost impossible to hide any movement from the three of them.
Not to mention that there are dozens of people on the boat, and the boatmen are all people who practice martial arts, although they are only not in the stream, but even if they encounter a surprise attack by a first-class master, so many people can make some noise, and it is impossible to be caught with their hands tied.
If it is not a martial artist, then only spells or demonic things can do this, thinking of this, He Liu turned his head to look at Su Hao, he remembered that Su Hao once said that his paper man is very sensitive to demonic things.
"I don't feel the evil thing approaching the merchant ship either."
Seeing He Liu's gaze, Su Hao shook his head, his paper man is quite sensitive to all kinds of demonic things, as long as he enters the sensing range of the paper man, unless it is an extremely powerful demonic thing that can perfectly restrain his own aura, it is difficult to hide from him.
Hearing Su Hao's words, He Liu sighed, he knew this result before asking, after all, if there was a demon approaching the merchant ship, it was impossible for Su Hao not to say it.
After pondering for a moment, He Liu said again: "Shizhong, Ah Yang, check carefully and see if there are any remaining clues. ”
"Okay."
Jiang Shizhong and Gan Yang answered and then got into the cabin.
