Chapter 704: Bow Confrontation
"It's nothing, except for this Zheng Duo Master, I haven't seen any outsiders." The fifth line answers.
"Not true. This is a magic circle, we must leave immediately, and it will change later. Sun Xiaowu retorted.
"Circle? But now that we're here, why didn't we touch it? The fifth line asked, puzzled.
"The fifth young man doesn't know that the warlock sets up an altar to harm people, and they all have a specific goal. Since we came and failed to touch the circle, it means that the other party's target does not know us, but someone else. Sun Xiaowu explained.
"Then the junior will go into the cabin and take a look." The fifth line admired this old man Sun Xiaowu more and more in his heart, and couldn't help but call himself a "junior" in front of him at this time.
Indeed, the fifth line is really Sun Xiaowu's junior, but the fifth line only thought that he was an idle liar before, so he didn't take him to heart. The fifth line is arrogant, and the people who can make him see it are all capable people.
In fact, everyone is more or less snobbish.
We don't usually do it ourselves. When we see rich gentry and high-ranking officials, royal nobles, chivalrous and famous men, we will inevitably look up. But when we encounter three religions, beggars, ronins, and poor people, we will wear a little disdain.
Each of us likes to succeed. Even if he achieves success by killing people for money, killing people and making goods, and harming others for his own benefit, as long as his ugly deeds are not discovered, he can also be recognized by most people.
The world is vain and illusory, and it is eager for quick success. People have ability, if you can't be seen, then in the eyes of others, you are no different from an incompetent person.
Although the fifth line is a great swordsman, it is not inevitable that he is cliché, and he also has a very heavy snobbish vision.
Of course, he himself has long understood this, and even wanted to change it for a long time. However, many human qualities are innate, and even if you try your best to change them, you may not be able to change them.
Fortunately, Sun Xiaowu is not as incompetent as he thought before, and he still has real skills. It's just that his ability is generally not easily revealed, and most of the time it is useless.
Thinking of this, the fifth line naturally understood why the princess had so many masters, but she only liked to keep Sun Xiaowu by her side. Obviously, things like martial arts and acrobatics can't arouse the princess's interest anymore, what she is really interested in is Sun Xiaowu's Xuanmen spells.
It's just that although Sun Xiaowu has been the princess's master for nearly eight years, he obviously didn't teach her some real Xuanmen techniques, and the princess is still like a blank piece of paper.
"There's an ambush inside, you can't go in." Sun Xiaowu objected.
The fifth line has already comprehended Zheng An's power, if he wanted to sneak attack him just now, he might have been tricked.
"After I go in, if I touch the magic circle, Master Sun, won't you just be able to break the formation?" The fifth line is still fighting for Sun Xiaowu's opinion.
"The other party sets up the magic circle first, how easy is it to break the formation in the formation?" Sun Xiaowu replied.
"So what should we do?" The fifth line asks again.
"In the dead of night, who are they targeting?" Sun Xiaowu didn't answer the fifth line, but said to himself, obviously thinking about the purpose of the other party's formation here.
"Their target may be Master Kong. When Zheng An saw me just now, he didn't seem to want to deal with me, but said to let Master Kong come to see him. The fifth line remembered the situation when he saw Zheng An before, and he immediately understood.
"If that's the case, then it's easy to take him back." Sun Xiaowu knew the opponent's goal, so he immediately ordered the fifth line.
"If their purpose is really Master Kong, if they bring this corpse back, won't Master Kong be in danger?" The fifth line was a little puzzled.
"Don't worry! If he leaves the circle, his power will be greatly reduced. If Master Kong comes over now, it will be really troublesome, and the three of us may not be able to leave. Moreover, the Lord is not here, but should be on the shore. If he was here, he wouldn't let us take Zheng An away. Sun Xiaowu said seriously.
Hearing Sun Xiaowu say this, the fifth line also knew that this formation was so powerful. Of course, he no longer had any doubts, because he had just learned something.
The fifth line carried Zheng An's body, but he was not in a hurry to return to the ship, but was watching how Sun Xiaowu returned to the ship. Obviously, the fifth line also had some interest in Sun Xiaowu's Xuanmen magic at this time.
I saw that Sun Xiaowu did not use the dragonfly to cross the river like the fifth line, but took out a string of copper coins engraved with strange charms from his arms, put his hands in his palms, and whispered a string of strange spells, and the fifth line did not understand at all.
"Hurry!" After Sun Xiaowu finished reciting the mantra, he suddenly roared, and the copper coins were immediately scattered, and the copper coins seemed to have life, only to build a single-plank bridge between the two boats one after another.
The fifth line suddenly opened his eyes, and saw that the copper coins, after the spell, could be suspended above the river out of thin air, just between the two boats, forming a strange bridge made of copper coins.
"Give me the body." The fifth line was a little stunned, thinking to himself that Sun Xiaowu was crossing the river with this hanging copper coin?
Sun Xiaowu took the corpse, seemed to be walking on the ground, stepped on a copper coin, and easily returned to the boat.
The fifth line was stunned for a while, and when he saw that Sun Xiaowu had passed, he also performed light skills and returned to the boat one by one.
At this time, Sun Xiaowu had already stood Zheng An's body on the bow of the boat, but asked everyone to stay away as much as possible.
Kong Youlong wanted to go over to see Zheng An's situation, but was naturally stopped by Sun Xiaowu and the fifth line.
However, after a while, Zheng An's body did not change in any way.
"It seems that tonight, I can't sleep." Sun Xiaowu waited for a while, and said impatiently.
"What does the other party want to do?" The fifth line asks.
"He's stalling and wants to wait until we're sleepy." Sun Xiaowu replied.
In the fifth line, Sun Xiaowu reminded him, and he also felt a little sleepy, and when he looked at Princess Qingying and Wei Yan and others, they were also yawning, and they were already sleepy to the extreme. By this time it was past midnight, and if it had not been for this, they would have gone to sleep in the cabin. The other party is obviously prepared, he drags it out like this, and when the fifth line and Sun Xiaowu and others are trapped to the extreme, and when they fight again, they will inevitably make mistakes even more.
"Master Kong, set the tea. If you can, get some side dishes for everyone. Since people want to consume with us, then it depends on who can consume whom? When Sun Xiaowu said this, he obviously planned to fight the enemy to the end.
"Alright! I'll arrange it right away. Kong Youlong said, and immediately ordered his men to prepare wine and food, and he first brought a tea set from the ship's cabin, put it on the bow of the boat, and drank it again with the fifth line and Sun Xiaowu.
"Girl, if you are sleepy, go back to the boat to rest first." Sun Xiaowu said to the princess while drinking tea. The tone in which he spoke to the princess now really gave him some of the majesty of a master.
