Chapter Twenty-Eight: Courage Never Dies
"Hey, it's probably the money that the teacher just threw over made some guys red-eyed."
Ghost Cheng Tianzun smiled, the corners of her mouth raised high and her indifferent mentality seemed to have predicted the strange and terrifying scene now.
The weirdness in the Heishui River, those are all people who have died, and naturally they can't enjoy the offering of incense on weekdays, let alone have dark money to take.
But now that she's such a "magnanimous" lord as unprecedented, won't it make these weird people flock to it?
However, the paper money that the Ghost Chengtianzun scattered was only a small amount, and the strange amount of the nearby waters was difficult to measure, so it was not enough at all.
After all, the work of supporting the boat is not a huge project, even the bottom of the boat is crowded with weird and there are not many "posts".
It's even more weird, and I can only watch those compatriots who run fast enough and get close enough to grab "jobs".
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and there are fights, not to mention weirdness?
Other envious, jealous and hateful weirdos naturally didn't want to lose this opportunity, so they began to make waves.
Some of them want to squeeze down the weirdness of the original bottom of the boat to grab a "job", and the other part is bold to move the people on the boat and grab more silver tickets.
"Master, are we going to scatter some more paper money? Or drive them away? ”
Xu Ning asked, his eyes wandering on the boat.
"Hee-hee, what do you think, good boy?"
The Ghost Cheng Tianzun didn't answer the rhetorical question, and grinned.
"Naturally, I don't want to get used to them."
Xu Ning picked up the two machetes left by the Black Water Double Dragon, and a cold light quietly flashed in his eyes.
Greed is not enough to swallow elephants, whether it is human, or weird, or monsters, greed is infinite, and desire is a bottomless abyss, which is impossible to fill.
The spirit in the Ailao Mountain, the weirdness in the Black Water River, are all the same.
As long as you continue to fill their desires, they will think that you are showing weakness, that you are afraid of them, and that greed will grow stronger until it swallows you up.
"Very good, worthy of being my apprentice."
Ghost Cheng Tianzun nodded slightly, and the corner of his eyes swept to the sides of the ship on both sides, and a pair of swollen and white, even rotten arms kept picking up.
This kind of scene is undoubtedly extremely terrifying in the eyes of ordinary people, but in her eyes, it seems to be a trivial matter.
As if he hadn't seen all this terrifying scene, Ghost Cheng Tianzun looked at Xu Ning's eyes with a slight flash of approval.
"Good boy, have you ever heard of three fires in a man?"
"Huh?"
Xu Ning's gaze froze slightly, but then nodded.
Whether in his past life or in this life, he had heard such a statement.
There is a "flame" floating above everyone's head and on the left and right shoulders, these "flames" are guarding him all the time, and the strange demons and demons dare not harm people because of the existence of these three fires, they will try their best to extinguish these three fires, so that they can attack people.
That's why there are folk rumors that when you are walking alone at night, if you hear someone calling your name, you must remember that you must never turn back.
Because this is a strange trick, if you turn around, one of the fires can be easily blown out.
If all three fires are extinguished, then people will also be poisoned by strange hands.
"But I want to tell you now, all the rumors you have heard are preconceived impressions."
Ghost Cheng Tianzun smiled faintly, holding Xu Ning's hands and gently kneading them a few times.
"The vigorous flame, weird can't be blown out, and you can't actively extinguish the flame yourself through your body movements, even if you break your neck, the flame won't be extinguished in the slightest."
"The vigor of these flames all depends on your heart, liver and guts. If you are afraid, the flame will weaken, and if you are frightened, the flame will be extinguished. ”
She shook her head, her slender hand gently rubbing her forehead, exhaling like an orchid, and said in a somewhat lazy voice.
"Well, the teacher who should teach you has almost been taught, and the rest is up to you."
"Huh?"
The corners of Xu Ning's mouth twitched when she heard this, and she was planning to be lazy again, so that she could deal with the weirdness under the surface of the water.
"Hey, Master, respect you! ...”
He just wanted to beep a few more words, but the Ghost Chengtianzun had already fallen down in the cabin without any image, and he also snored very exaggeratedly, looking like I was already asleep.
The hull of the ship suddenly began to shake, and the outstretched arms from the bottom kept pulling towards the side of the boat, as if trying to struggle to capsize the small boat in the water.
Xu Ning's heart tightened, and he couldn't care about anything else at the moment, and quickly slashed at those arms on the side of the boat with knives in both hands.
Since they are not physically present, they cannot be injured by ordinary blades. So, if you want to deal damage to the weird, you'll have to use special weapons.
For example, in folk rumors, the pig-killing knife can be very effective in restraining weirdness.
This is because the pig-killing knife is full of blood in the hands of the butcher, and it is contaminated with the resentment and evil spirit of many livestock when they are dying, so it becomes extraordinary.
But when it comes to evil spirits, how can the knife that kills pigs be as heavy as the knife that kills people?
With these two machetes in Xu Ning's hands, he followed Zhang Heng and Li Zhu to do countless businessless transactions on the Heishui River, and the souls under the knives were even more unknown.
As he expected, when the machete in his hand slashed at the arms on both sides of the ship, the arms would break instantly.
With a wolf-like howl, the severed arms burst into a puff of black smoke before disappearing.
Today's Xu Ning already has the cultivation of the eight grades of martial arts, and his vigorous qi and blood are even more extraordinary.
Even if you don't use yang energy to attach to the knife, you can still cause considerable trauma to these weirdness.
Xu Ning quickly cut off these arms, and the boat no longer rocked, but the speed of travel slowed down visibly.
He looked around, and saw faintly distorted figures emerging under the foggy water in all directions, approaching the boat, and on the whole, there were the most figures at the stern, and there were many fewer at the bow.
Weird and scared.
Xu Ning's mind moved, and he quickly pulled out the rope that the Black Water Double Dragon usually used to bind people from under the stern board, and then walked quickly to the bow of the boat, and threw a machete bolt in his hand into the water.
"Woo-ah-ah!!"
In an instant, another seeping wail sounded, accompanied by a fluttering black smoke rippling above the drowsy water.
The number of strange positions in the bow of the boat was small, so Xu Ning tied a machete with a rope and borrowed the evil qi on the knife to open the way to ensure that the boat was not hindered.
And he, holding another machete, was on the hull and stern of the ship, constantly slashing at the weirdness that was chasing him.
"Humph!"
Xu Ning screamed, his eyes flashed, and he cut off several arms that had just been picked up on the port side of the boat.
Perhaps afraid of the ferocity of the machete in his hand, the underwater strangeness temporarily stopped attacking, and no longer rushed to the side of the ship and shook the hull, but clung to the hull not far from the hull.
Looking at the more and more strange shadows around him, Rao couldn't help but feel numb in his scalp with Xu Ning's current mentality.
The sky is dark, the only full moon exudes the last glow, and the miserable and cold cry is still ringing,
The cry was piercing, and it was noisy, as if there were countless miserable people crying bitterly under the water, and the strange cry instantly enveloped the water.
"Woo-ah-ah!!"
