Seeing the black spirit boat, Zhao Lin's heart sank, knowing that something was going to go bad!

In order to avoid collisions, the same rules must be followed as those of cars and horses on the ground, and the two spirit boats should never be so close to each other.

Especially following others like this is obviously ill-intentioned.

Through the clouds, three masked monks could be vaguely seen standing on the black spirit boat, and the person in the center suddenly raised his hand and played a formation towards the cloud platform.

"Bang!"

A flash of lightning flashed from the bow of the ship, dozens of formations lit up at the same time, and the aura began to gather wildly, quickly condensing a huge white ball of light.

This is a precursor to the attack circle gathering strength and imminent attack!

Tang Zhengquan also noticed it, and immediately turned the bow of the boat and flashed to the right.

It's a pity that the spirit boat has been locked, and at such a close distance, there is no way to escape.

Hearing a loud "boom", the black spirit boat shot out a white ball of light, hitting the tail of the cargo spirit boat hard, directly knocking off the corner of the latter's stern.

The defensive circle failed instantly, and the spirit boat was like a kite with a broken string, swaying and falling to the ground.

One blow hit the target, and the black spirit boat did not continue to pursue, but took off into the air and went straight to the Hongyan Fu.

Sensing the crisis, the Wild Goose Fu fled into the distance.

The scene in the True Meaning Jade Slip became more and more blurred, and it was pitch black at the end.

Zhao Lin put down the remnant talisman and was silent.

"Shopkeeper Zhao, the old man saw that the downed Lingzhou had the emblem of Hanchi County on it, and guessed that it should be the Lingzhou of your store, right?"

Wei Zongchuan observed his words and knew that his guess was correct, but he still asked.

"Exactly."

Zhao Lin nodded, confirmed the matter, then took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, quickly sorted out the whole thing, and asked, "Senior Wei, when did you receive the Hongyan Fu?" ”

Wei Zong thought for a moment and replied, "About two quarters of an hour ago, the old man sent someone to look for you after reading it." ”

Zhao Lin had regained his composure at this time, and his thinking was clear, "The younger generation went back to Hanchi County once at the beginning of the year, and he had an impression of the location of the accident, which is about three hundred miles away. ”

"Arriving here at the speed of the wild goose charm only takes a cup of tea at most. In other words, it should not have been more than half an hour since the incident. ”

After speaking, he got up and saluted Wei Zongchuan, "I implore the owner of Wei Fang to help." ”

The top priority is to find the fallen spirit boat, and if Tang Zhengquan is still alive, he will rescue the person first.

This matter must be supported by the owner, if he goes to the rescue alone, in case the black spirit boat is still on the scene, it is no different from sending him to death.

The territory of the Chenghua Sect is vast, and the monks gather in places with spiritual veins, and ninety percent of the land boundaries are deserted.

Unless there is a major case, the matter is usually resolved by the person concerned.

Of course, Zhao Lin can also ask for help from the state and county where he belongs, but first, it is a waste of time, and second, at most, he will only send someone to see the matter.

Wei Zongchuan understood what Zhao Lin meant, and nodded slowly, "Fang City is only responsible for the security of the surrounding hundred miles, and generally does not interfere in matters outside the hundred miles, and does not have the ability." ”

"However, Shopkeeper Zhao has a shop in Fang City, and he is also a member of Fang City, so the old man can send two patrol monks and Zhan Zhou to go together."

Zhao Lin was overjoyed when he heard this, "Thank you Fang Master Wei!" ”

Wei Zongchuan immediately called two guards and ordered them to dispatch a war boat to accompany Zhao Lin to inspect.

One of the two patrol monks is named Wu Lie and the other is Yan Zhenguan, both of whom are in the late stage of Qi refining.

Without further ado, Zhao Lin took his leave and walked out of Fang City with the two patrol monks.

The three of them went to the dock and boarded a majestic warship.

The war boat is mainly used for combat, and there are two biggest differences from ordinary spirit boats: one is that it is faster, and there is an innate advantage in pursuit and evasion.

Second, it has stronger offensive and defensive capabilities, the hull is composed of thick heavy iron wood, and a number of second-order and above attack and defense arrays are arranged.

Judging from the information sent back by the Hongyan Fu, the black spirit boat is not a war boat, but it has been modified and strengthened the attack circle at the bow of the ship, and it is okay to bully the old cargo boat, but it is not enough to see it in front of the war boat.

Zhao Lin took out two hundred-yuan spirit coins and handed them to Zhang Lie and Yan Zhenguan without a trace, "The two Taoist friends accompanied Zhao on this trip, presumably delaying the practice, a little heart, not respect." ”

The two pretended to refuse, and then accepted the spirit coin, and their attitude was much more polite than before.

Zhang Lie entered a battle into the array, and the war boat instantly took off into the air, and without even spinning, it rushed directly into the sky layer and flew to the southwest.

The war boat flew extremely fast, a distance of three hundred miles, and it only took more than a quarter of an hour to arrive.

Approaching the scene of the incident, he began to fly at a low altitude and slowed down.

The vigilance circle on the warship can expand the divine sense to a thousand feet away, and with this ability, the fallen spirit boat can be found quickly.

"Over there."

Zhang Lie pointed down, Zhao Lin looked down in the direction of his finger, and saw a faint spirit boat lying quietly in the bushes in the woods next to a big river.

The war boat circled around the spirit boat to make sure that there were no people nearby, or other spirit boats lurking, before slowly falling.

Zhao Lin was the first to jump off the boat and walked to the broken spirit boat, only to see that the ship was empty, and there was not a single cargo left, so he couldn't help but clench his fists!

This Lingzhou was transferred by Zhou Hongfang from Hanchi County, and the store has been borrowed until now.

In fact, Zhao Lin had long intended to buy a new spirit boat, but last year's profits from the shop were used to return the principal lent by Lu Yuanxiu.

I finally had a surplus this year, but I didn't expect something to happen at this juncture.

Zhao Lin walked from the bow to the stern of the boat, and found no traces of a fight, nor did he have any useful clues.

"I'm afraid I've met a bandit."

Yan Zhenguan stayed on the war boat, Zhang Lie walked over, glanced at the situation on the boat and said, "These people are only to save money, and they generally don't kill people, and your people may still be alive." ”

"I hope so."

Zhao Lin sighed lightly, boarded the spirit boat, walked to the cloud platform and tried it, and found that although the spirit boat was seriously damaged, the flying magic circle could still be used.

Playing the trick, the spirit boat actually staggered and flew up.

"This old thing is pretty sturdy!"

Zhang Lie praised and walked back to the battle boat quickly.

Zhao Lin arched his hand towards the two, and controlled the spirit boat to fly towards Fang City, looking for Tang Zhengquan along the way.

Zhang Lie and Yan Zhenguan took a war boat and escorted them at high altitude.

Because it was flying at a low altitude, the spirit boat flew very slowly, and Zhao Lin was worried about missing Tang Zhengquan, so he kept moving forward in a zigzag pattern.

When I returned to Fang City, the sun had already set and it was getting dark.

Zhao Lin stopped the spirit boat, jumped down gently, and suddenly saw a figure not far away, stumbling over.

"Brother Tang!"

With the help of the lights in the market, Zhao Lin saw the faces of the people who came, and rushed forward with an arrow.

Tang Zhengquan also saw Zhao Lin, couldn't hold on any longer, and fell down.

Zhao Lin hurriedly held him up and asked, "Brother Tang, how are you?" ”

Tang Zheng was pale and depressed, and said with difficulty: "The goods are gone, I ......"

Zhao Lin interrupted: "I know everything, it's good to be here, are you injured?" ”

Tang Zhengquan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It was blown by the turbulent current, and it is not a big problem. ”

He wanted to say something more, but Zhao Lin raised his hand to stop it, "It's not a trivial matter for evil qi to enter the body, let's go back to the store first." ”

Turning his head to Zhang Lie and Yan Zhenguan, he said: "Thank you two Taoist friends, Zhao is grateful, so don't say goodbye." ”

"Shopkeeper Zhao is polite, then let's go first."

Zhang Lie said goodbye to Yan Zhenguan and returned to the administrative office to resume his life.

For them, since there was no loss of personnel, only some goods were lost, there was no need to trace the case.

The time has passed, and all the shops in the market have closed.

When Zhao Lin and Tang Zhengquan returned to Jindan Hall, Gu Dezhao was standing in front of the door and kept looking, he made a special trip to the office during the day, and when he learned about the attack on the Lingzhou, he was like an ant on a hot pot all day.

Seeing the two returning, his heart was a little calm, and he came up and asked, "How is it?" ”

"Ah, Brother Tang is injured?"

Gu An and Li Sancai also came over and asked with concern.

In order not to affect the operation of the store, Gu Dezhao did not disclose the news to others, but seeing this situation, several people also knew that something big had happened.

Zhao Lin helped Tang Zhengquan into the store and said, "Brother Tang's evil qi enters the body, take a Qingsha Pill." ”

Li Sancai answered, trotted to the warehouse, and took a bottle of Qingsha Pill for Tang Zhengquan to take.

Everyone came to the backyard and sat down, while Tang Zhengquan used exercises on the side to drive away the evil spirit.

Zhao Lin took advantage of this time to tell the story of the robbery of the cargo spirit boat, Tang Zhengquan Hongyan's book, and the fact that he led people to the scene to rescue.

Everyone was shocked and speechless.

After a while, Gu Dezhao asked, "None of the goods are left?" ”

Zhao Lin shook his head slowly.

Gu Dezhao smiled bitterly, "This is the last purchase before the end, there are half of the valuables, there are fifty sets of robes alone, as well as three hundred cans of high-grade spiritual tea and fifty pieces of true meaning jade slips!" ”

When everyone heard this, their faces changed color.

A robe is worth five hundred to thousands of spirit stones, dozens of pieces are tens of thousands of spirit stones, and high-grade spirit tea and true meaning jade slips are also worth a lot of money.

Zhao Lin looked at Mr. Bookkeeper, "Wan Lao, if you lose this batch of goods, will the store still be profitable this year?" ”

Wan Jingsheng said "hey", "I have earned a lot this year, and I can bear it, but I don't have to think about dividends." ”

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but have mixed feelings, Tang Zhengquan's life was saved, and the store could continue to operate, but unfortunately the dividends were gone, which was really heartbreaking.

Compared with the loss, Zhao Lin was more concerned about who did it, and took out the remnant of the Hongyan Fu and slapped it on the table.

"Everybody looked around to see if they could find clues. We can't eat this loss in vain, even if the goods can't be recovered, we have to know who to ask for debts in the future! ”

Everyone took the remnants of the talisman in turn, sank into their consciousness to watch, and couldn't help but shake their heads after reading it.

Gu Dezhao sighed and said: "The sect requires that all moving spirit boats must show their numbers on the bow and stern, and the black boat has obviously done tricks and feet, and there is no mark. ”

Gu An also chimed in: "Several guys are masked, and they haven't put a spell from beginning to end, so I really can't see the way." ”

Zhao Lin knew that this was the case, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Just when everyone had no clue, Tang Zheng finished his work and got up and walked over.

Gu Dezhao hurriedly brought a cup of spiritual tea, Tang Zhengquan took two sips, and his face regained some blood.

Zhao Lin came back to his senses from his contemplation and said, "Brother Tang, we only look at the jade slip, and we can't observe it clearly as you on the spot, can you explain the process in detail again?" ”

"It's good!"

Tang Zhengquan cleared his throat and recounted the incident again.

It turned out that he had set off from Hanchi County this morning, and when it was close to noon, he suddenly found a spirit boat behind him.

Tang Zhengquan hurriedly activated the warning array, made a buzzing sound, and at the same time avoided to the side.

Unexpectedly, the other party ignored it completely, but accelerated to follow.

Tang Zhengquan glanced back and found that the monk on the black spirit boat was actually masked, and knowing that something was wrong, he immediately released the Wild Goose Talisman.

"You have also seen the rest of the matter, the spirit boat was shot down, and I had to jump into the boat to escape."

Gu Dezhao thought for a moment and asked, "They didn't chase you?" ”

Tang Zhengquan shook his head, "No, I deliberately fell into the woods, and I also released two hidden charms. I don't know if it's because of this, anyway, they didn't chase after me. ”

Gu Dezhao twisted his beard and said: "It may be a bandit, only seeking wealth, not killing people." ”

Zhao Lin felt that things were not so simple, and said, "Brother Tang, think about it again, did the three masked men say anything or make a special move?" ”

Tang Zhengquan still shook his head, "They didn't say a word from beginning to end, but when they fell, they thought that our spirit boat was out of control, and the earth was directly pressed down." ”

"I took the opportunity to use the magic circle to release a flying spear and attack their belly, but I didn't expect to really hit it."

"The skin on the stern of the black boat was torn apart, revealing a pattern."

Zhao Lin perked up, leaned over and asked, "What pattern?" "Immediately someone brought a pen and paper and spread it out on the table.

Tang Zhengquan picked up the pen, recalled it carefully, and drew a strange pattern on the paper: the upper part is a crescent moon, and the lower part has three plum blossoms, arranged in a zigzag pattern.

Zhao Lin felt déjà vu, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it, stared at the pattern for a while, and found that the number of petals was different, some were five, some were six, and asked, "How many petals does a flower have?" ”

Tang Zhengquan said: "At that time, the situation was urgent, so I took a look, and I only remembered the general shape. ”

Zhao Lin looked at Gu Dezhao with an inquiring gaze, "Have you seen it?" ”

Gu Dezhao frowned and thought for a while, and shook his head, "Judging from the shape, it seems to be an emblem, but we don't have such an emblem in any state and county in Chenghuazong." ”

"As for the Xiuxian family, there are too many family seals of various emblems, and there are all kinds of them, and the old man doesn't know much about it."

Zhao Lin nodded, thinking, "This is the only breakthrough." ”

Put away the paper, got up and said: "Brother Tang has a good rest, the evil qi enters the body and wants to recover as soon as possible, there is no pill spirit stone, and all the expenses are taken to the store's account." ”

"By the way, Gu An, you will take Brother Tang to the Medical Daoist Hall tomorrow."

Gu An hurriedly said yes.

Tang Zhengquan said gratefully: "Thank you Zhao shopkeeper." ”

Zhao Lin Zhengse said: "Brother Tang was injured on the way to transport the goods, the store should pay for it, you should cultivate well, and don't worry about other things." ”

After speaking, he looked around at everyone, "I'll deal with this matter, don't reveal it to the outside, the store is open as usual." (End of chapter)
