"Are they those killers of Black Rose?" Ning Xiaotang muttered softly to himself, seeing that the small boat in the heart of the river was speeding away, getting farther and farther away, he didn't bother to verify it.

These Black Rose Killers, in the eyes of most martial arts people, may be a terrifying existence that makes people talk about it. But for Ning Xiaotang, these people were just annoying flies. If you dare to provoke yourself, you can slap it to death directly.

Then, Ning Xiaotang raised his head again and looked at the sky, where a blood-red butterfly was constantly flying.

Perhaps because the killer of the Black Rose was dead, the blood butterfly was uncontrolled, and at this time, it was like a headless fly, spinning around the sky over and over again.

"Hmph. Ning Xiaotang stretched out a finger and casually tapped at the sky.

Then, he didn't look at the result, and his figure flashed directly and disappeared in place.

And the blood-colored butterfly in the sky, its dancing wings immediately stopped. The blood butterfly was like a dead leaf in autumn, slowly falling towards the ground.

On the boat, the silver-faced killer kept looking nervously back at the riverbank.

If the figure on the river bank chased after him, he would not hesitate to flee immediately. As for the other Black Rose people on the ship, they can only ask for their own blessings.

However, the final result made the silver-faced killer breathe a sigh of relief.

"I didn't chase after me. ”

At the same time, on the boat carrying more than 20 people from the Shuiyue and Qingxuan factions, everyone looked at the river bank from afar, and their faces were all stunned.

As the smoke and dust caused by the fight gradually dissipated, the three hat-bearers from before were long gone, and all that remained was a vague white figure, but it also disappeared completely after an instant.

The old woman surnamed Tong of the Water Moon Sect sighed and said: "The senior master made a move, it was really extraordinary, even the silver-faced killer of Black Rose was also completely fallen. ”

The old man in his fifties from the Qingxuan faction echoed: "Yes, such a martial arts method is simply incredible! Sure enough, there are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people. ”

The strength displayed by Ning Xiaotang gave the two of them a great shock. They even felt that even if they gave themselves a few more decades to practice martial arts, they would be far from reaching the height of that senior master.

On the other side, after Ning Xiaotang left the riverbank, he did not return to Jingzhou City.

He went directly to the wharf by the river, rented a boat, and headed for Changsha County.

The ship is about three zhang long, neither big nor small, and the ship is fully equipped and not shabby. The boat boss is a middle-aged man in his forties, surnamed Wu, who has been rowing all his life and has two helpers under him.

Seeing that Ning Xiaotang was going to take a boat to Changsha County, he took over the business. However, he explained in advance that he was only responsible for sending it to Baling City. If you go forward, you won't send it, and you want Ning Xiaotang to go by herself.

Before, Ning Xiaotang had also inquired with other shippers, and it seemed that they were only responsible for sending them to Baling City.

This made Ning Xiaotang feel a little strange, and after asking the boat boss carefully, he knew the reason, it was all because of banditry.

Baling City is the second largest city in Changsha County, it faces the river on one side and Yunmengze on the other.

Yunmengze can be said to be the largest lake in the Great Jin Dynasty, with a radius of thousands of miles, and its only entrance and exit location is near Baling City.

In this area of water where Yunmengze meets the river, there are many large and small islands.

The islands are covered with reeds that are more than one person high, and as far as the eye can see, there is no boundless.

These dense reeds weave a tight natural barrier to the surrounding islands.

With such an advantageous geographical location, it naturally attracts many robbers and water bandits to set up camp here.

Over time, these bandits have gradually become the climate. The largest of them is called the Six Great Thieves of Baling.

The six thieves of Baling claim to rob the rich and help the poor, and there is a way to steal, only robbing the rich and the strong, and not attacking ordinary people.

For more than ten years, he has gained some reputation in Jingzhou martial arts.

But the rest of the bandits don't care about that. It doesn't matter if you are poor or rich, if you see it, you will rob it.

So, slowly, the boats driving on the river knew that there was trouble in Yunmengze near Baling City, and more and more boatmen did not dare to enter it, at most they only dared to sail their boats to the river near Baling City.

After listening to the explanation, Ning Xiaotang finally understood, and he didn't force it anymore, and waited until he arrived in Baling City.

Ning Xiaotang sat cross-legged at the bow of the boat, with a coffee table in front of him, and he drank tea while checking the sheepskin map in his hand.

The methods left by the Black Rose Killer on this sheepskin map had long been completely erased by Ning Xiaotang.

Those Black Rose Killers left a special smell on the map that ordinary people couldn't even notice. It was Ning Xiaotang, and it took a lot of work to completely erase the smell.

After wiping away the smell, Ning Xiaotang believed that those Black Rose Killers could no longer rely on blood-red butterflies to track down their whereabouts.

It's not that Ning Xiaotang was afraid of them, it's just that the other party came to the door one after another, which was really disgusting.

Ning Xiaotang looked at the sheepskin map in his hand, and the location of the 800-year-old He Shou Wu painted on it was probably in the mountains in the west of Changsha County, and that place also had a name, called Xiangxi region.

The Xiangxi region has always been relatively chaotic, and there are often evil demons who are haunting each other, and in some places, it is even more terrible than the land in southern Xinjiang.

However, these are nothing to Ning Xiaotang. What he cares about the most is the 800-year-old He Shou Wu.

In the evening, the sun was setting and twilight was falling.

The boat boss suddenly came to Ning Xiaotang and said, "Ning Gongzi, the front is about to arrive in Baling City, and I will send you here for the time being." That Yun Mengze, I don't dare to go. ”

Ning Xiaotang nodded, indicating understanding.

He stood at the bow of the ship and looked into the distance. There, the outline of a vague city loomed into view.

On the river next to it, there are also several boats, and looking at the clothes of the crew members above, it is obvious that they are some rich businessmen.

The most important thing is that the destination of their ship seems to be the same as the ship that Ning Xiaotang was taking, which is heading in the direction of Baling City.

But it wasn't long before six more boats of different sizes suddenly appeared on the river.

Those ships, with the momentum of horns, rushed towards several ships near Ning Xiaotang, one left and one right.

Ning Xiaotang looked at the ships, his brows furrowed slightly.

When the boat boss saw those boats, his face immediately changed, and he said, "It's not good, it's the water bandits near Baling City! Didn't they all use Yunmengze before? Why did they run to the river to rob today?"

It seemed to answer the words of the boat boss, and soon, a domineering and cold voice came from one of the boats opposite: "Listen to Lao Tzu, the six thieves of Baling will obediently hand over the money! Otherwise, I will throw you all into the river to feed the fish!"
