Chapter 709: The Bag Scheme
After a night of tossing, everyone was very sleepy. At this time, everyone returned to the boat to rest, leaving only a few fine disciples to take turns to guard.
It was soon dawn, and the boat stopped on the shore not far from Zheng's house, about three miles away from Zheng's house.
Just for the sake of safety, Sun Xiaowu and the others did not go ashore at night, but slept well, and then planned to prepare during the day before going ashore together to see the situation.
The fifth line walks the rivers and lakes, what martial arts masters have not seen, the Central Plains martial arts Dafan is a little famous master, he has seen most of them, and many people have also fought each other. However, he didn't encounter many monsters like last night.
I was in the East Factory before, although I had contact with something similar. It's just that he didn't know anything about the things of the Xuanmen Fangshu at that time, and he didn't expect these things to be so powerful.
Prior to this, although the fifth line had heard Master Zhang Yu talk about some similar strange things, because he had not seen it with his own eyes, Master Zhang Yu was not very sure, so he had always been skeptical of this kind of thing.
After this battle, the fifth line finally had a new understanding of Taoist occultism. Moreover, he also understood something at the same time. Why among the Taoist priests, few can leave a good impression, everyone calls them bull-nosed veterans. Because in Taoist magic, there are really only a few things that can have practical value in ordinary life, except for fortune telling, watching feng shui and other miscellaneous things, there is nothing that can be used on a big scene. However, among the Taoist techniques, the things that harm people are very widespread and widely spread. Although there are not many people who know about it among the ordinary people, almost all of the people in the Taoist Xuanmen know a little. The people were probably afraid that once they provoked these stinky Taoist priests, they would be framed by their spells and spells, so they stayed away from the Taoist priests.
Since I can't afford to mess with you, then I can only avoid you.
That's the mindset of most people.
The fifth line and others tossed all night, and naturally got up a little late the next day. Wei Yan and the princess are both women, after all, they are a little timid, and they were really scared to come out of that scene last night.
In the morning, everyone did not mention breakfast for their own use. Kong Youlong saw that the fifth line and Sun Xiaowu got up late, so he wanted to go to Zheng's house alone to check. But he was afraid that if something happened, he would not be able to deal with it, so he was a little hesitant in his heart.
Sun Xiaowu was old and frail, and he was the last to get up.
"Master Sun, when are we going ashore?" Kong Youlong saw Sun Xiaowu and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
"Master Kong, I can't be in a hurry. If you want to go ashore, you have to make some preparations to be sure. Sun Xiaowu said comfortingly.
When Kong Youlong heard Sun Xiaowu say this, he naturally didn't dare to act alone, so he had to wait patiently for Sun Xiaowu's order.
Kong Youlong and Zheng An are friends, although he can already be sure that Zheng An was indeed killed, but his family, Kong Youlong, still hopes that they are still safe. After all, it doesn't hurt the family. If the murderer not only killed Zheng An, but also his family, it would be a bit excessive.
Last night's situation, Kong Youlong naturally knew what it was. Zheng An's body was cut into several pieces by the Ling Feng Sword of the fifth line, but he still did not "die", and he tried every possible means to harm himself. Kong Youlong really can't remember what kind of powerful person Zheng An offended to be poisoned like this, and he couldn't even rest in the ground after he died.
If it was because he had offended someone and Zheng An was killed, then he would naturally be even more upset. If this is the case, he must find out this murderer and avenge Lord Zheng Helm.
Although, he knew that he was definitely not the opponent of this murderer, but with Sun Xiaowu and the fifth line here, they should not sit idly by. Of course, Kong Youlong didn't just want to take revenge with Sun Xiaowu through the fifth line, but just because Zheng An did die too strangely, mostly related to the Dongying Japanese people. As long as it is determined that this matter is related to the Japanese people, not only will it be difficult for them to get rid of it, but even if they let the fifth line and Sun Xiaowu leave it alone, most of them will not give up.
Sun Xiaowu was finally preparing to go ashore. He first ordered the corpses collected on the merchant ship the previous night to be taken to the shore and burned. There were also three children of the Confucian family who were unfortunately killed yesterday, and they were also cremated on the shore, and then found a good grave on the spot and buried the three properly.
Originally, regarding the funeral of these three Kong family sailors, Kong Youlong was opposed to cremation on the spot here, because he wanted to bring the three back to the Confucian ancestral hall and bury them in the ancestral grave.
After all, the soil is safe, and the fallen leaves return to the roots.
When a person dies, it is best to be buried in his own cemetery, and in the future, when the same sect worships, he will inevitably light a few incense sticks, and he will not be as lonely and lonely as he was buried in a foreign land.
However, Sun Xiaowu said that these three people died at the hands of demons, and they should be cremated and buried as soon as possible.
Kong Youlong was already frightened by the soulless dead last night, and if his three disciples were also used by the demons, it would be impossible to let them settle in the ground at that time.
Finally, everyone buried the three disciples properly, and Kong Youlong was naturally extremely sad. Most of these family sailors around him are the children of their Confucian family, and they are not very old, all of them are young men about twenty years old, and they all follow him to make a living in business and make money to support their families, and they don't want to encounter such a thing and let the three children die in a foreign land. How can Kong Youlong not be sad? And feel a little sorry for their parents.
However, Sun Xiaowu seemed to be accustomed to this kind of thing, and as soon as the sacrifice was completed, he immediately arranged to go to Zheng's house.
Because it might be dangerous to go here, Sun Xiaowu decided to only let himself, the fifth line and Kong Youlong go. The martial arts of the three are not bad, even if they can't retreat from the enemy in distress, they still have the ability to protect themselves.
The princess was a lively person, and she wanted to go with her, but she was frightened by the events of last night, so she did not have the courage to go.
"Master Sun, let me go too! One more person, one more helper. Wei Yan had already taken the Blood Yan Sword at this time, and also asked Sun Xiaowu for his life.
"Miss Wei, you better stay! The three of us are gone, and the rest of the people belong to the highest martial arts, so you have to stay and watch the ship. If the other side takes advantage of our absence to attack the merchant ships, we will have no way out. Sun Xiaowu said, handing her two more things.
A cloth bag, and a short sword of money.
"The old man knows that Miss Wei has improved a lot of martial arts now, and ordinary thieves are not your opponents at all. But you haven't encountered much of this charlatan warlock and the like. If a demon does attack you before we return, these two things can stop you from getting out of danger. Sun Xiaowu solemnly admonished, just like telling his own children.
"Okay, Master Sun, I will definitely ensure everyone's safety." Wei Yan took the cloth bag and money sword.
Before leaving, Sun Xiaowu seemed to be a little uneasy, so he turned back to Princess Qingying and said, "Girl, be careful." If there is danger, what Master taught you before may come in handy. ”
"Which things? Can it come in handy? Princess Qingying looked stunned and asked loudly.
"Think for yourself." After Sun Xiaowu finished speaking, he had already taken the lead towards the Zheng family, and the fifth line and Kong Youlong also immediately followed.
