The light fog drifts away, the sky is obscured, and the moon dodges and dodges.

The river is vast and flowing, the waves are pushing back and forth, and sometimes the night wind blows, blowing the waves and splashing a large snow-white splash.

The water splashed in the mist, like someone throwing paper money at the grave.

The canopy boat flowed along the river by itself, Wang Qilin paid attention to its hull, and said, "Daoist Master Xuye, look, is this hull about a zhang wide?"

They had seen cases of people being swallowed by the surrounding rivers, and each time the ice on the surface of the river would be broken to form a waterway, which was about a foot long.

Xu Da understood what he meant, and asked, "Seventh Master is saying that this ship broke through the ice in the flowing waters and swallowed the people by the river?"

Wang Qilin nodded and said to Sun Yuanqi: "Hold the boat to chase it!"

Sun Yuanqi hesitated a little in the face of this ship, and he said hesitantly: "Lord Wang, this ship seems to be a ghost ship. ”

Wang Qilin frowned at him and said, "You are walking on the water, are you still afraid of ghost boats?"

Sun Yuanqi said: "Lord Wang, you don't know, ordinary ghost ships and water ghosts are naturally not terrible, but this is a big summer boat, and the five plague gods are worshiped in it, if we rush up and be haunted by the five plague gods, what can we do?"

There are many folk plague gods, and the most powerful one is Lu Yue, the ancestor of the plague god.

This big guy is powerful, according to legend, he has a face like blue indigo, has three heads and six arms, claims to be the first person under the sect, once participated in the war of the gods in ancient times, set up a plague array, and once trapped Jiang Ziya in the array for a hundred days.

Lu Yue came down to be the five plague gods, namely Zhang Yuanbo of spring plague, Liu Yuanda of summer plague, Zhao Gongming of autumn plague, Zhong Rengui of winter plague, and Shi Wenye, who was in charge of middle plague.

Among them, although the great god Lu Yue is powerful, he finally won the position of the Great Emperor of Haotian in the battle of the gods, and now his identity is extraordinary, and he rarely brings disaster to the world.

The five plague gods are different, and there are often rumors that they are found inside and outside Kyushu, especially in the southern wilderness area, where the climate is hot and humid, and the miasma is rampant, and the five plague gods often go to trouble the people.

The locals couldn't afford to provoke them, so they invited them away, and the method was that on the day of the great heat, taking advantage of the strong yang energy between heaven and earth, people would send the five plague gods to a boat, send the boat into the river, and let it leave with the five plague gods.

Wang Qilin knew this statement, but he had never seen the Five Plague Gods and the Five Plague Ship, this canopy boat looked ordinary and not strange, so he asked Sun Yuanqi how he could see that this was a Five Plague Ship.

Sun Yuanqi looked at the canopy boat with awe, and said: "It's also a coincidence, I once ran into this boat, once our Dawei Platoon Gang sent a batch of grain to Xiangjun, and we ran into it on the Xiang River." ”

"The Xiangjiang River is open, the water is turbulent, and there are not many cargo ships. Lord Wang knew that the Dajiang Platoon Gang was strong and had many generals. ”

"These people are not taboo after encountering the five plague boats, like we retreated and burned incense to make offerings, and sent the five plague boats away, and the Dajiang Platoon Gang actually went on the boat, and then the queue was all infected with the plague, no city dared to let them process, and the people on both sides of the strait were not even allowed to go ashore. ”

"In the end, the entire queue died on the river, and all the rafts in the queue were poured with fire oil and burned......"

Speaking of this, Sun Yuanqi still had a look of panic on his face, obviously the experience of that day made him still palpitate.

"Sun Tou is right, I have personally experienced this incident in Xia, the Dajiang Pai gang has so many good men, but in the end, there are no bones!" said the man with a ghost in his chest.

Xie Toad stared at the canopy boat from afar, and after listening to everyone's words, he shook his head: "You may have encountered the Five Plague Ship, but this ship is not a Five Plague Ship, catch up and see, this ship is a bit evil." ”

Sun Yuan said anxiously: "Lord Xie, I have never lied to you, and the five plague boats that I met in the Xiangjiang River are like this." ”

Xie Toad said calmly: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, Lao Dao believes your words, but Lao Dao's two tricks have not fainted, and he will not be mistaken, this is not the Five Plague Ship." ”

Sun Yuanqi had no choice but to wave his hand, and the two boats separated, chasing after the canopy boat one after the other.

The black canopy boat rumbled in black, and there was no one to pilot it from beginning to end, but it was able to smoothly swim up the Wei River.

The Dawei Platoon helped the two ships to drive very fast, but strangely they never caught up with it, and the two sides always kept the same distance.

Wang Qilin shouted: "Speed up!"

Sun Yuanqi looked helpless: "Lord Wang, the brothers are all working hard to shake the oar, this is already the fastest speed." ”

Wang Qilin said to Xu Da: "Call the support group to intercept this ship!"

Xu Da threw out a summoning talisman, and after a loud sound, a flower exploded in the night sky.

He quickly wrote another piece of paper and released the crow thunderbolt, which quickly disappeared with the paper in his mouth.

After a while, two boats appeared on the river upstream, and they opened a pontoon bridge, and pulled the wooden box with the mantra of the water god of Shilong Town written in the blood of the South China Sea to open it horizontally, blocking the waterway.

The canopy boat is not a flying boat, and after it is blocked by a pontoon bridge, it suddenly reverses with the current......

Wang Qilin felt that the vitality of this ship was very strong.

Because life is in motion.

As the canopy boat passed by, he offered five flying swords to protect himself, and then threw a plank on the water to fly towards the awning boat.

Xie Toad followed him, and when the two of them arrived next to the awning boat, they threw out an iron claw, which hooked the canopy, and they stepped on the plank and followed the boat downstream.

Looking at it closely, Wang Qilin saw that the awning boat was not pure black, there were exquisite carvings on it, from the hull to the canopy, the outer layer was full of paintings composed of complex lines, but the hull was too dark, so unless you looked closely, you couldn't see the graphics on it.

One of these paintings is very delicate and realistic, and what he sees is a portrait of a person, with the villain frowning and crooked mouth, vivid.

So Wang Qilin wondered if the people lost in the surrounding cities near the river would be swallowed up by this boat?

If the people disappeared into the ship, would the portraits on the ship be relevant to them?

With this thought in mind, he carefully identified the portrait on the ship.

There were indeed many people in the portrait, but it seemed that it had nothing to do with the people, and he could not understand the meaning of the portrait. The portrait is too complicated, and you can only see that there are many villains on it, some dancing dragons, some riding horses, some sitting in the hall, and some women with long hair fluttering.

Xie Toad said: "This is not the Five Plague Boat, the canopy of the Five Plague Ship is not carved with a picture, but carved with a carving knife, engraved with the "Road Classic", which describes a complicated path, the purpose is to let the Five Plague Ship go along this road and eventually go to the sea. ”

"It is true that there are paintings on the other five plague boats, but there should be only eight paintings in total, namely a handful of snow to the king's head, two thoughts of the righteousness of Dengzhou, three fairy horns on the plum blossom volt, four countries to come to the double bead ball, five dragons will come to Wanlihou, Liulang to take the treasure in Youzhou, seven letters of family portrait, eight beautiful empty hanging Ren Zhonglou. ”

"The bottom of these eight paintings is followed by the song of sending the plague - the blessed lord please come to the door and serve to persuade the five plague gods......"

Wang Qilin said: "This ship is full of portraits, and there are no words, what kind of ship is this?

Xie Toad frowned and said, "Lao Dao seems to have heard about this ship, but he can't remember its origin for a while......"

Wang Qilin said: "Then I'll be careful and go up and take a look." ”

Xie Toad told him: "You must be careful!"

Wang Qilin jumped up, released the Thunder God Sword and stepped on it, and the steady sword flew to the ship.

It was customary for him to jump directly onto the canopy and then take a closer look at its problems, just as he had flown on Zhu Yan two days earlier.

However, the inexplicable disappearance of the two platoons in front of him aroused his vigilance, so he looked down first after flying onto the canopy boat.

This sight surprised him: there was no deck on the ship, and probably no cabin, and he saw a puddle of water directly.

His first thought was that the boat had no bottom, so he could see the river directly.

But when he looked again, he found that the water inside the boat was a turbid yellow, which was completely different from the clear water of the Wei River.

And what's more, the water level inside the boat is much higher than the river!

Even these yellow waters are on par with the side of the ship.

In this way, he did not rush to the boat, because once he got on the boat, he would come into contact with the full yellow water, and he flew back first to tell Xie Toad about the situation.

Xie Toad groaned: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, the boat is full of yellow water...... It's yellow water, isn't it?"

"Hmm. Wang Qilin nodded.

Xie Toad's eyes widened violently, and he opened his mouth and sang: "The sky is full of oceans, speaking of Guan Yunchang of the Han Dynasty." After five levels and six generals, the soul flies for nine days to do Garan ......"

The pomegranate flowers are green and the leaves are green, and I sighed back to Bao Wenzheng. The sun rules the people, and the night collects the evil stars in the underworld......"

He suddenly began to sing a ballad, which was long and low.

And as the ballad sounded, the canopy turned its bow and suddenly floated towards them.

Wang Qilin stepped back and asked in surprise, "Dao Master, what's the matter?"

Xie Toad did not answer him, and continued to sing the old tune on the plank, and the canopy boat circled around him as if it had come to life.

At first, it was very fast, but gradually it slowed down, and finally stopped at the surface of the water.

“...... The Daoguang mirror illuminates the fate of the Yuanzhen, and the fierce star is frightened. The Nine Yao Star Monarch is the main protector, and the yin and yang are rampant and the longevity increases. After Xie Toad sang the last lyrics, he saluted the head of the canopy boat, "Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!"

After that, he turned around and said to Wang Qilin: "Seventh Master, I can't say whether we are lucky or bad, Lao Dao now knows the identity of this boat, this is a ferry boat." ”

Wang Qilin asked, "Is it related to the Poison King or the Gambling King?"

Xie Toad said with a smile: "It is related to Lethe River, it is said that it can cross the Lethe River, so it is called the Forget Boat, which is naturally the homonym of crossing the Lethe River." ”

Lethe.

According to ancient legends, after death, people have to cross the ghost gate pass and reach Hades through Huangquan Road, and there is a river between Huangquan Road and Hades, that is, Lechuan River.

It is rumored that the water of the Lechuan River is blood-yellow, and it is full of lonely souls and wild ghosts that cannot be reincarnated, full of insects and snakes, and the fishy wind blows on the face.

Wang Qilin naturally knew these allusions, and he asked Xie Toad: "Dao Master, is this boat a Yin and Yang ferry that can travel on the Lechuan River?"

Xie Toad said: "The two have some relationship, but they are not the same thing, the Yin and Yang ferry boat can cross the soul of the Lechuan River, and this boat is to send the living to the Lethe River." ”

"The old Taoist priest once heard an elder mention such a ship, and learned the trick of that song. According to the elders, this ship has been floating in the world for many years, and no one knows where it came from, only that it has an owner, and only the owner can control the ship. ”

"This ship has a very powerful ability, once someone is on the ship, the biggest sin or bad thing in life will be known by the shipowner, the ship's master will do the right thing for heaven, if the person's sin is too great, the ship's owner will kill the person and send him to the underworld. ”

Wang Qilin pondered for a moment and said, "Then were the two platoon leaders killed after they got on the boat just now?"

Xie Toad shook his head and said, "No, what Lao Dao said just now is aimed at the situation where there is a ship owner. The ship has no owner, and Chang'an Mansion is full of people, so it may have come here to find its owner. ”

"When you see the yellow water on the boat, it should be made up of thousands of rivers in Kyushu, and there is a drop of yellow spring turbid water in it, so it is yellow and turbid. ”

"Now it has no owner, and it needs to find a new owner, how to find it? It is to get on this ship and conquer it, and only by conquering this ship, and being able to control this ship, can you become its master. ”

"If you can't conquer it, if you can't harness it, you'll die!"

Wang Qilin said: "I understand, simply put, this boat is a wild horse, taming it will have a divine horse that travels thousands of miles a day, and if you can't tame, you will die." ”

Xie Toad nodded and said, "Yes." ”

"Those two leaders just now are dead?"

"It is estimated that people have already queued up at the bridge. ”

"The missing people?"

Xie Toad shook his head: "It may have been swallowed by this ship, or it may have nothing to do with it." But it's more likely, and if you think about it, if there is no owner on this ship, what would children and country people do if they encountered an ownerless ship?"

Wang Qilin said: "The honest people will look at it twice at most, the naughty boys will climb up to play and play, and the country splashers will go up to see if they can get some cheapness." ”

Xie Toad said: "So let's go back and check the temperament and evaluation of these missing people." ”

Wang Qilin asked again: "Then what did you mean by what you just said? You said that it was not good luck or bad luck for us to run into this ship. ”

Xie Toad said helplessly: "This ship is a rare magic weapon ship, with this ship in hand, it can run rampant in the rivers of the world." We were lucky enough to come across it. But if you want to own this ship, you have to be its master, and you have to risk your life to try, do you dare to try?"

Wang Qilin thought for a moment and asked, "How can you tame it?" Do you want to get on the boat and fight with it?"

Xie Toad shook his head and said, "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, the old Taoist doesn't know. After all, those who tame it will not say how to tame it, and those who cannot tame it will not have the opportunity to say what it will do, so there are still many mysteries about this ship, which can be regarded as a major unsolved mystery in the rivers and lakes. ”

Upon hearing this, Wang Qilin decisively admitted: "Then I don't dare." ”

He now has a lot of magic weapons, not this small boat, why risk his life? He doesn't want Sui Sui to be widowed before he passes through the door.

Xie Toad said: "The old Tao doesn't dare, so what if we encounter this magic weapon?

Wang Qilin pondered for a moment and said, "Otherwise, let's let Eight Meow, Ninety-Six, and Ten Go up and try it?"

Yameow, who was squatting on his shoulder, turned around and jumped into the river, using his limbs and used his limbs to swim towards the boat of the Dawei Pai Gang.

Shihe couldn't run away, so he spun around like a bean worm in a hurry, and finally got under his skin and hid.

Wang Qilin laughed and said to Xie Toad: "Forget it, Dao Ye, sometimes the fate must be there, and the fate is not always forced, this ship may not have a relationship with us, we can't help it, then put it in this Wei River first, and I will report the situation to the Qinglong King when I go back, and see if the Qinglong King can deal with it." ”

They were very interested in the boat, and the boat was also interested in them, and when the two of them returned, the boat followed behind them, and it seemed that they wanted to get them on board.

Wang Qilin fled.

They got on the boat of the Dawei Pai Gang, and they didn't need to say anything, Sun Yuanqi, who mistakenly thought that the boat was a five-plague boat, was deeply afraid of it, and when he saw the ghost boat floating towards him, he hurriedly went to rock the oars himself, rocked the boat and flew up, went straight to the river bank, and got off the boat and ran wildly.

for fear of being infected with the plague.

His subordinates don't know why, but since he, the leading brother, is afraid of this, the others have no reason not to be afraid, and they run behind.

This saved Wang Qilin a lot of effort: he wanted to transfer Xu Yi to Tianting Temple, and it happened that the people of the Dawei Pai Gang had run away, so he asked Xu Da to carry the people, and took the boat rented by Chen Weiyue and others to go.

The ferry forgets the boat and does not give up, and follows firmly behind.

Seeing this, Wang Qilin said categorically: "You go first, I'll lead it away, you can't lead it to the dock, there are too many idle people on the dock, there will definitely be people rushing to get on the boat, and many people will be missing at that time, which is easy to create panic." ”

Xie Toad said: "Seventh Master, you go with the ship, and the old way will find a way to get rid of its tracking." ”

Wang Qilin shouted: "No need, Dao Master, you protect the big guy on this boat, so that I can rest assured, because it may not necessarily chase me, and may continue to chase you." ”

After saying that, he let go of the Thunder God Sword, and with a sound of the sword flew up, he jumped on the short sword, and flew out as if he was stepping on a mini skateboard.

Without hesitation, Hachimeow jumped on his back on the bow of the boat, pulling his clothes and getting over his shoulder.

Without hesitation, he chose to face unknown challenges with him.

Ninety-six also jumped hard.

Poofong fell into the water all at once......

Wang Qilin went straight to the boat and turned around, the boat didn't know what to rely on to track, anyway, it turned a blind eye to him.

In this way, his heart moved, and he sang a ballad in the tone of Xie Toad: "The sky is full of oceans, talking about Guan Yunchang of the Han Dynasty." After five levels and six generals, the soul flies for nine days to do Garan ......"

He has no experience of Xie Toad, he has not been baptized by the years, and his voice is high-pitched and loud, not as desolate and low as Xie Toad.

But the same can attract the ferry to forget the boat.

The ship heard his song and began to chase him.

Wang Qilin Edgeworth went down the river, until there were no lights on both sides of the river, and there was no one behind him, seeing this, he looked at the left and right edgeworthiness and flew to the riverbank.

The boat then rushed to the river, and then came to a halt as if it had run aground.

Wang Qilin cautiously walked up to it and asked, "Hey, is there a ship spirit in it?" ”

The canopy boat was silent.

At this time, the fog was even thinner, and the moonlight shone through the fog on the ship, and the pattern on it was clearer.

Now Wang Qilin has understood, the carving content on this is Guan Erye riding a horse to fight, Bao Zheng interrogating ghosts and gods at night, Zhong Kui wielding a sword to kill ghosts, etc.

I don't know if these people have been the owners of the awning boat, anyway, each of them is a person who has done earth-shattering things in the Yin and Yang worlds.

Wang Qilin stared at the canopy boat, and when he saw that it had not reacted, he gritted his teeth and walked up.

He asked Hachimeow to turn around, held Hachimeow's tail and said, "Later, if you feel that the situation is not good, you will quickly pull your father and run out, okay?"

Eight Meow stretched out her paws to grab him, her eyes were earnest: Dad, don't be dead, okay?

Wang Qilin comforted it and said, "Don't be afraid, it should be fine, Dad will try a way to see if he can get this ship." I tell you don't be afraid, there should be no problem. ”

Eight Meow sighed heavily: I think you want to kill the two of us!

Wang Qilin grabbed the tail of the eight meows with one hand and touched the hull of the boat with the other.

He hasn't made any moves here, and the eight meows have already run forward, and the strength of the black cat is not great, but it is enough to drag him to a stumble.

Seeing this, Wang Qilin said angrily: "Why are you so cowardly?

Eight Meow twisted and pinched the little tail out, and then stared at the little tail with a serious face: Why are you so cowardly, why are you pushing me from behind?

Reaching out and touching the plank was no problem, Wang Qilin's heart became steady.

He spat in his hand, went up and put his shoulders against the bow of the boat, opened his arms and buckled the board, shouting that he was about to pick up the canopy!

Eight Meow was dumbfounded: What is this?

The canopy shook in the water, but he didn't lift it.

Wang Qilin did the ninth set of broadcast gymnastics to warm up, and then took off his clothes to reveal his muscular upper body, he pinched the lion seal and ran the Vajrasattva spell, and cast the mantra -

Freely control the strength of the body, and gather the strength of the whole body on the waist and arms.

He gathered the power of the two bulls, frantically ran the dantian true qi, the green tendons all over his body burst out, and he hugged the canopy boat with a muffled roar:

You're the master!

The awning boat left the water, and the furnace swallowed it......

Eight Meow watched as Daddy carried a boat: it thought Daddy was crazy!

And then watched the ship disappear: it thought it had gone mad!

It blinked and rubbed its paw against it, and then stared wide-eyed to see that the ship was gone!

Eight meows looked down at the river by the river, and under the bright moonlight, a cat face was faintly reflected on the shaking water.

A cat's face with wide-eyed eyes and a wide-open mouth: My view of cat life has been changed!
