Chapter 17, Killing at Chance

It was only because Su Chong offended the nobles on the way, and the caravan was afraid that the prince of the Qian family would lead the soldiers and horses of the government to retaliate, so they did not dare to delay more on the official road, and rushed to the "Yuxian River" overnight to find a boat, and turned to Yizhou by the waterway.

After Su Chong learned that the "Yuxian River" was a branch of the "Yujiang River", connecting Qiongzhou and Leizhou, and the exit was in the South China Sea, he also hired a small boat to hurry.

It is said to be a small boat, but the total length is nearly six feet. Locally called this "shuttle bucket", you have to have two people to make the sail, or six people to swing the oar, in order to start safely.

After Su Chong boarded the boat, he found that the layout of this "shuttle" was the same as that of the "canopy boat" used on the Neijiang River, but it was much larger, with only an awning and a lookout room left above, and most of the space was occupied by three cargo holds in a row under the ship's board, so the boatmen could only squeeze into a small cabin to rest.

Even he had paid for the ship to be chartered, and the hold was still full of goods, and it was impossible to live in it.

Fortunately, the shipowner had ordered the shipwrights to live on the deck, and Su Chong had a small cabin to live alone, so he didn't care about anything else, just closed the hatch and worked hard.

In the blink of an eye, the boat has been sailing for a day, and it is time to enter the curtain again.

Su Chong was in a trance when he heard a curse coming from outside, and suddenly woke up.

"Why did that little dog occupy our cabin as soon as he got on board? Seeing that the wind and rain are coming, a tarp can't stop it. I don't sleep on the deck, I have to go into the cabin. ”

"That Xiao Langjun chartered a boat for fifty taels. If you provoke him to return the money and get off the boat, Boss Jiang won't pick up your skin? Listen to my brother's words, just endure it on the deck. The line we take is deep and wide, not afraid of hitting the reef, day and night, we can send people to Qiongzhou Island early the day after tomorrow. ”

"Hey! I'm single, and I'm a little cub, he can get off this boat if he wants to? In order to accumulate virtue for his son, Boss Jiang is actually bent on goodness, but you and I have no oil and water to fish. Third Brother Feng, you wait, I'll go to find that cub's bad luck, not to mention leaving him to feed the fish in the water, at least I have to get a place to hide from the rain. ”

The man spoke in a loud voice, apparently intending to be heard by the charter guests.

Su Chong sneered in the cabin, and said in his heart: "I bumped into Qian Shouzhi's son by land; The closer you get to the South China Sea, the worse your luck becomes? Or is it that my face as a tuberculosis ghost looks like a bully?"

Then there was a knock at the door, and the boatman who was looking for trouble shouted outside the door, "Open the door, open the door! Seeing that it is about to rain, our brother must take shelter in the cabin." ”

"Get away!" Su Chong scolded angrily: "I'm not your father, I don't care if you can eat the wind or drink the rain." If you dare to call the door to disturb you, I have to make you look good!"

"Hold!" The boatman outside laughed angrily, turned around and went to the deck to find a harpoon, turned back to the small hatch, and shouted fiercely: "Puppy, come out, let you see the true color of Grandpa Jia! ”

Not only did he attract his fellow shipwrights, but even the owner of the ship was alarmed and rushed over from the deck.

"Fake fox, you bastard is crazy again! Do you want to make Lao Tzu unable to accumulate yin virtue?" the shipowner patted his head, but he had a headache for him.

The boatman's real name was Jia Wei, but because of the smell of foxes in his armpits, he was nicknamed a fake fox.

Seeing that the owner of the ship came forward, the fake fox did not restrain himself, but pointed at the hatch with a harpoon and said, "I must not be blamed for this, it was the little cub inside who scolded me first." If I let him live today, I will no longer be surnamed Jia!"

Then he said softly, "Boss Jiang, according to me, you have to treat the little boy at home, and whatever yin and virtue you talk about are all false, and it will only work if you buy good medicine with more silver." If this money is not found from the person who rides the boat, will the gods and Buddhas throw money down from the world?"

After all, there is a difference between the boatman and the guest, and the owner of the river boat saw that he had reached this point, so he couldn't take care of it anymore, so he waved his hand and walked up the wooden ladder, saying: "According to the old rules, give me half of the silver." ”

"Good Rat!" the fake fox replied with a sinister grin, then raised his harpoon and slammed it towards the hatch.

The owner of the ship was only halfway up when he heard a "click" sound, turned around angrily and shouted: "Don't you have to spend money to repair the hatch?

When he saw what was going on, he was stunned.

I saw that the hatch did not fall into the cabin, but opened outward, and the harpoon in the hand of the boatman Jia Wei had fallen to the ground, and the whole person froze, but there was a hole the size of a thumb in the back of his head, which was spraying blood outward.

The owner of the ship turned his neck to look into the cabin, and saw that the young man with a gentle and scorched face when he hired the ship had changed his appearance, and was now sitting in a cloak, playing with something in his hand, and his eyes were full of coldness, like an evil spirit.

There was a "poof" sound, and the owner of the ship, whose legs were weak, slipped down the ladder, and on the way his clothes were scraped by the beam, revealing half of his arms, and the shape was not funny.

The boatmen below who were watching the excitement also came back to their senses at this time. I don't know which one shouted "demon" and wanted to flee to the board.

Only a man surnamed Feng, who had received Jia Wei's life-saving grace, was enthusiastic at this time, and roared: "What are you afraid of him! This kid is alone, and he stabbed him to death with a knife to feed the fish!"

These characters who are fighting on the water also have human lives in their hands, although they have lost their courage before, but at this time, when they heard the roar of the surnamed Feng, they were aroused again, and they stopped after a little hesitation.

Seeing this, Su Chong hated it and said to himself: "This world really doesn't allow good people to go free, you have to force me to kill it!"

Immediately, the yin god went out of his body, and with a whistle from the yin wind above his head, he threw himself into the heart-saving nail held in his palm.

The next moment, I saw that the rusty nail trembled, and suddenly turned into a black light and flew out of his hand, and in a flash, it pierced into the chest of the boatman surnamed Feng, and then drilled out from behind, bringing up a long line of blood.

Coincidentally, this person fell to the ground, and the body of the fake fox on the side was also shocked to the ground. The boatmen were so frightened that they did not dare to stay any longer, and they were about to run away.

At this moment, the heart nail circled around the air again, trembling and hovering above the wooden ladder.

The boatman, who had climbed the ladder in the lead, saw that the murder weapon was blocking the way, and he was about to die, and he was so frightened that he fell down with a cry of surprise.

Including the owner, there were four other people under the ladder, all of whom were smashed by him.

It's just that at this moment, everyone in the mouth couldn't care about the pain, and knowing that there was no way to escape, they knelt down to the small cabin one after another, their heads banged, and they couldn't stop asking for mercy.

Su Chong's body trembled, and his soul had already returned, and then he stopped shouting: "Enough! I have important things to do, and I don't have time to worry about you." And get out of the boat, and be sure to arrive at Qiongzhou Island within two days. If anyone dares to flee and misses the boat, don't blame me for being ruthless, and he will let the evil ghost kill his whole family!"

With that, he got up and closed the hatch, thought for a moment, and then said, "Two dead men dragged them to feed the fish, and the outside should be wiped clean, but there is still a trace of blood, so I will send you to do the ghost together." ”

After saying this, I heard a voice outside, which was nothing more than "thank you grandpa for not killing" Yunyun.

The sound of footsteps began again, thinking that he was moving the dead, but he ignored it, only turned to the corner of the cabin to light an oil lamp, and held up the nail to take a closer look.

According to Anadan, this artifact was refined in the place where the corpse was buried. Su Chong escaped into it with his soul, and also sensed a group of unwilling resentment, thinking that it was the remnant of the death.

It's just that after they parted that day, it was not good for him to look for Anadan, so he didn't know how to drive the heart nail.

After pondering for a long time on the way, I realized that I wanted to use my own mind to stimulate the resentment in the nail, slowly force it out of the nail, and after treating it to the yang and qi between heaven and earth, I could turn into yin wind and lift the magic weapon to hurt people.

Every time this heart nail is cast, the unwilling resentment in it will dissipate a little.

After using it at the right time, he sensed it carefully, and found that this thing could be used three or five times at most, and then it would be thrown away to the burial place for pregnancy.

"Although I don't know how much work it takes to conceive and raise, I look at the rust on the nail body, and I have to bury it for another three or five years, but I am afraid that it will be worn into slag by the earth. ”

Su Chong reversed the nail body and looked again, and saw that the front end had been blunted, thinking that it was caused by crashing into the boatman's skull earlier, and suddenly felt a pain in his flesh, "The material of this magic weapon is really poor." You should be careful when you use it against the enemy in the future, once it is broken, there is nowhere to find another one. ”

Because the blood stains on the nail had been sucked in by the rust, he didn't dare to wipe it hard, so he tore open a piece of the corner of his clothes and wrapped the magic weapon, and then carefully put it into the hidden pocket in his sleeve.

At this time, it was raining outside, and Su Chong opened the hatch and washed his hands with the rain;

It was expected that the boatmen had been frightened, and he was not afraid that those courageous fellows would abandon the ship and run away, so he laughed at himself after closing the door, and muttered: "It's better to be a demon and worry." ”

Su Chong knew human nature very well, and he didn't expect the people on the boat to have the courage to send anything to eat, so he took the package hanging on the wall and turned out dried fish and dried meat to eat.

When he had filled his stomach, he felt a sense of emptiness, and said to himself: "If in the prosperous age when the people cannot afford to steal their hearts, the people who take the boat should sit and drink with the boatmen in their spare time, and talk about what they have seen and heard; It's so boring!"

Thinking of this, he shook his head, tied the package and put it aside, and then drew his sword and held it in his arms, using cultivation to relieve his boredom.

Just because he didn't practice the fundamental method, Su Chong's divine soul couldn't condense and grow, but the killing sword qi cultivated in his heart became more and more refined day by day.

According to Su Chong's estimation, as soon as he gives up the divine sword, the person who receives the skill will be intimidated by the murderous aura, and immediately lose his five senses and hallucinate.

Although this technique is superficial, it is more direct and domineering, and it also helps to strengthen the faith, which is a good means of defending himself against the enemy, so he works very hard, and this night will be spent in meditation.

Meditation is the method of cultivation, but it is different from being drowsy and sleepy, but because of concentrating on one thing, the mind is exceptionally clear, but there is wind and grass around the body, and the heart will be aware.

Therefore, when practicing this method, there is no need to worry about being victimized, because with his current cultivation, his body is 20 zhang around, and if someone on the ship wants to come close and do something, he will definitely not be able to hide it.

I don't know how long later, suddenly a thunderbolt shone into the cabin, and the thunder exploded.

Su rushed into the depth, the sense was sensitive, and this thunderous Tianwei was reflected in his heart.

The next moment, he opened his eyes with a muffled snort, and said in a frightened voice: "I was in danger of being seriously injured......
