Cao Cao and the others didn't say anything all the way, they just wanted to hurry up.

Songyang County is only 30 miles away from Songshan, and it will take half an hour to arrive. At the foot of Song Mountain, there is a wide river in front of you, the water is turbulent, and it is impossible to ride a horse.

After searching for a long time, there was no boatman who crossed the river, so I had to turn northeast along the river to search, and on a river beach, I saw two old fishermen burning fishing nets, and beside them lay on their stomachs two small fishing boats that had been dragged ashore, like two poor small fish that had been thrown ashore.

Seeing a group of people riding over, the two fishermen were obviously a little nervous, got up and wanted to run to the shore in the woods, Cao Hong jumped up from his horse, turned over in the air, and landed right in front of them, the two fishermen trembled with fright, and knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

"The good man spares his life, the little one doesn't dare anymore, and the fishing nets have been burned. ”

"Don't panic, uncle, we are passing by here, we want to go to Songshan to play, please ask the uncle to send me to the other side, and the boat fare will naturally not be underpaid." “

"Is it true that the good man is not from the 'Hongmen'?" Seeing that Cao Hong and the others were carrying swords, the fisherman was suspicious, and he could see that they were frightened, no wonder they ran away immediately when they saw the one with weapons.

Cao Cao explained, and the fisherman told the truth.

Originally, this river was called 'Yingshui River', and the people along the river mostly made a living by plowing the fields and farming, and they bought fishing boats when the farmers were slack, so that they could catch fish to supplement their families; secondly, because there were many tourists from all over the country who came to Songshan, they could also earn a lot of river crossing fees.

But since Dong Zhuo took power, because of his word 'Zhong Ying', in order to avoid it, he forcibly changed the name of 'Yingshui River' to 'Manshui River'.

Since ancient times, it has indeed been avoided by kings and venerables, for example, in order to avoid the name of Liu Xiu, the Guangwu Emperor of the Han Dynasty, 'Xiucai' was renamed 'Maocai'. But Dong Zhuo is something, just a courtier, and he even asked for this, but ordinary people can do nothing, let it be changed.

What's more, a month ago, a group of people from the 'Hongmen' came, very fierce and arrogant, all with swords. They put up notices, claiming that they were under the order of Dong Xiangguo, strictly prohibiting fishermen on both sides of the strait from fishing, and all boats went ashore.

Some fishermen took the risk of secretly fishing for their livelihood, and they were killed on the spot after being caught, and the fishermen were afraid, so the two old fishermen were scared half to death when they saw Cao Cao and others.

When Cao Cao proposed to take a boat to the Fawang Temple on the other side, the two shook their heads again and again: "It's terrible, a few days ago, a lot of officers and soldiers came to surround the Fawang Temple, I heard that many monks died, you better not go." “

"What? what happened, why did you kill someone?" asked the old man.

"Then who knows, brother better don't go, why are you looking for that bad luck. ”

"We don't go to Fawang Temple, there are many interesting places in Songshan, as long as we are willing to cross the river again, I am willing to pay double the price." As he spoke, Li Ru took out a piece of silver.

The two fishermen stared at the piece of silver, and agreed without thinking, knowing that the two of them had worked hard for a year to farm the land, and it was not worth the silver.

The fishing boat is really a little small, one boat can not stand at all, so they separated and took two boats, the river is about 30 zhang wide, fortunately, two fishermen live in the river all the year round, the business is very skilled, and soon the boat will reach the center of the river.

Cao Cao was inquiring about the recovery of the Xiahou brothers' injuries, when he inadvertently noticed that a famous fisherman had peeped at him several times, and he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.

He got up and walked slowly to the fisherman, and saw that he was five short stature, dark and lean, and his eyes reflected the essence of the Dao.

"Uncle, I'll help you, when I was a child, there was a small river on the edge of our village, and I practiced paddling a few times, I don't know if it will be. Cao Cao said as he pulled an oar from his hand, and the fisherman let go after a few pushes.

"The old man lives at the foot of this Song Mountain, have you ever known about Taiyi Temple?"

"I know, I know, when I get to the other side, I go up to the east to Shaomu Mountain, and halfway up the mountain is the Taiyi Temple, and many Taoist priests who go down the mountain in the view have also taken small boats. ”

"Oh, Fawang Temple can't be done, we are going to Taiyi Temple to play, I don't know what the Lord of the Temple is called?"

"Everyone calls him Mu Daochang, he is over 70 years old, one year I went to send millet to Guanli, and I met once, and it was five or six years in a flash. ”

"Oh, isn't it, how did I hear that the Taiyi Guan Lord's name is the Sandu Dao Chief, and when did he change the Mu Dao Chief?"

The fisherman was visibly nervous: "Oh, oh, maybe it's been a long time, I can't remember clearly." ”

The old man stared at him and smiled, and the fisherman was even more embarrassed, and lowered his head and paddled violently.

"Fawang Temple is besieged by officers and soldiers, how does the old man know? Have you ever seen a monk killed?"

"This, I... The fisherman was so stumbling that he simply threw away the oars in his hand and wanted to jump into the river, but Cao Cao grabbed his wrist.

"The old man's hands are well maintained, he doesn't even have a calloon, but he doesn't look like a perennial farmer?"

Seeing the flaw, the fisherman punched Cao Cao in the face, and the speed of this punch was extremely fast, which showed that this person had some kung fu. Cao Cao dodged his head sideways, reached out to touch the long sword at his waist, and suddenly heard the wind in the back of his head, and hurriedly shouted 'Be careful', pulling the old man down on the boat.

The fisherman screamed, pointed to his companion on the other boat, rolled over and fell into the water.

The hidden weapon was shot by the fisherman in the other boat, and he was so ruthless that he didn't care about the life or death of his companions.

"I actually avoided the old man's 'stinging thorns', hey, I didn't expect you to have two more hits. The fisherman smirked, and when he stomped his foot, the boat shook violently.

On this small boat sat Zhang Mei and Mi Yue, as well as Cao Ren and Li Ru. The boat rocked more and more violently, and it seemed that it would capsize at any moment. The four of them had to hold hands to resist the shaking, and they were too busy to take care of themselves, where could they spare their hands to attack the fisherman?

Cao Cao's side is not optimistic, everyone is a landlubber, the fisherman is dead, the boat is out of control, even if it does not capsize, it will be washed downstream by the current.

Cao Cao Cao and Cao Hong hurriedly grabbed an oar and paddled hard. The fisherman's paddling action looked simple, but Cao Cao and the others tried it for the first time, and they didn't know the point at all, and instead of moving forward, the boat started and turned in the river.

The fisherman laughed, thinking, "This time it should be my scenery, and I will definitely be able to look up in front of the master in the future." "He has white hair, and he is also surprisingly thin, almost like a hemp rod, slightly taller than his dead companion, he snatched the 'double-strand sword' from Mi Yue's hand, and looked at it carefully, very proudly.

His goal is the 'double-strand sword', and now that the sword is in hand, there is no need to spare the lives of Cao Cao and the others.

He urged the internal force, and the small boat under his feet collided with the small boat that Cao Cao was riding like an arrow, and if the two boats collided, the ship would definitely be destroyed and killed.

When the two boats were less than a foot apart, the fisherman plunged headlong into the water, and the fish swam away. This is on the boat, Cao Cao and the others don't know how to water, seeing the two boats getting closer and closer, everyone is very anxious, but there is nothing to do.

But no one in the team can swim in the water, and jumping off is more than lucky, but no matter what, it is better than hitting and killing, Cao Cao and the others have made up their minds, and when they saw that the boat had arrived, they were ready to jump into the river as soon as their eyes were closed.

As for the 'Double-strand Sword', that's okay at this point.

Suddenly, a column of water burst out from between the two boats and soared into the sky, four or five feet high. It was this column of water that greatly digested the momentum of the boat, and although the two boats eventually collided, the force was much lighter.

Fortunately, everyone was safe and sound, and for the rest of their lives after the disaster, everyone sighed and saw the two small boats leaning together, and hurriedly beckoned everyone to join a small boat, although it was crowded, it increased the safety factor.

Cao Cao saw that Zhang Mei and Mi Yue were panicked, and his face was discolored, so he hurriedly grabbed one person with one hand and beckoned his junior disciples to paddle.

Suddenly, another wave came from the bottom of the boat, as if there was an invisible power, urging the boat to move towards the shore.

It's strange, what is the force that can drive the boat of so many people forward on its own? Could it be that there is someone at the bottom of the boat?

The boat arrived safely, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Look at the river again, but the waves are rolling. I saw a huge wave from east to west, and another huge wave from west to east, and the two sides roared and collided together, accompanied by a muffled sound, stirring up a huge pillar that soared into the sky, and threw the small boat in the middle of the river high into the sky, and then fell heavily into the water, breaking in half.

Then two figures shot out of the water and landed on two halves of the boat. The man on the east side is the fisherman who grabs the sword, and the man on the west side is covered and cannot see his face.

The moment he came out of the water, the fisherman sent out another poisonous needle, and when he was about to reach the masked man, the masked man slapped the river with one palm, and immediately made a splash and gently knocked down the poisonous needles.

"'Stinging thorns in the sky'! The kung fu is good, and the hidden arrows hurt people, so he is naturally known as the 'despicable and shameless' water dragon king. "The masked man is full of energy.

"Hehe, the old man has never done a good thing in his life, so he is nicknamed 'despicable and shameless'. "The Water Dragon King is triumphant, 'despicable and shameless', and he enjoys such a nickname very much.

"I have heard that the water dragon king's water kung fu has reached its peak, and it is really extraordinary when I see it today. ”

"Wonderful, wonderful, Your Excellency's 'Whale Wave Attack' Kung Fu is not far behind, to have such a good water kung fu, it is naturally Jizhou Taiping God to teach Zhang Sanye, I really can't imagine that Zhang Sanye also fell in love with this 'double-strand sword', but it's a pity that you came one step late, this sword has been owned by me" Hongmen ". “

Cao Cao and the others on the shore heard very clearly, it turned out that one of these two people was the Water Dragon King, one of the eight King Kongs of the 'Hongmen', and the other was the three leaders of the Taiping Divine Sect in Jizhou.

In this way, the underwater internal force that urged the boat forward just now was Zhang Sanye's stunt 'Whale Wave Attack', this kung fu was really powerful, and Cao Cao and others were eye-opening.

However, he had no friendship with the Taiping Divine Sect, so why was Zhang Sanye willing to come to the rescue? It is not difficult to see that the real purpose of his coming here is also for the 'double-strand sword'. Cao Cao remembered clearly that in Qingfeng Village that day, the second master of the Taiping God Sect appeared to grab a sword.

Mi Yue was anxious to shed tears, the 'double-strand sword' was lost, how to explain it to her father?

Cao Cao and Zhang Mei couldn't help comforting them, but the water dragon king was in the river, and even if everyone on the shore tried their best, they couldn't get to the people.

"Haha, Water Dragon King, you and I are inseparable from each other in the water, but I have been ordered by the sect leader to bring the 'double-strand sword' with me, so I will simply fight with you. ”

After all, the Water Dragon King and Zhang Sanye jumped into the water at the same time, and the waves in the water were turbulent in an instant, and they were stirred up to 'turn the river and the sea', these two people are quite good in water, it can be said that they are first-class masters in the water, and it is impossible to distinguish the high and low in a short time.

The two of them were all hidden in the water, Cao Cao and the others saw two huge splashes in the water fighting each other and suppressing each other, but no one took advantage of whom, and with the 'fighting method', the two splashes quickly drifted downstream.

Seeing the 'double-strand sword' being taken away, everyone was powerless, the 'Hongmen' deceived people too much, and this account would be settled sooner or later.

Cao Cao felt very uncomfortable in his heart, he blamed himself very much, and felt sorry for his little junior sister. The 'Double-strand Sword' can't be preserved even if it's around, and when the 'Qinghong Sword' is found, can it be preserved?

One step at a time, there is no need to think about it, since the wood has become a boat, it is better to go up to Songshan to find the 'Qinghong Sword' first, and then explore the whereabouts of the 'Double-strand Sword'.

But why did there be people from the 'Hongmen' all the way? The two fishermen were obviously 'waiting' here for a long time, and it seemed that the 'Hongmen' knew their own itinerary well, and every step was under the supervision of the other party, Cao Cao thought about it, and swept his eyes over the crowd, and estimated that they must also have this doubt.

Since there is an 'ambush' here, whether it is Fawang Temple or Taiyi Temple, I am afraid that there are already people from the 'Hongmen' who are 'waiting'.

If there is no way out, then you know that there are tigers in the mountains, and you must also go to the mountains.
