Taohua County is surrounded by rivers on three sides, and the river surrounds the city. Except for the land route into the city, all other directions to get out of the city must be ferried.

Early the next morning, Chu Sihai took Li Qingshan out. Because it was still early, there were not many people out of the city, but they were all early risers and fishermen who fished on the river. Chu Sihai and Li Qingshan followed the sparse pedestrians to the largest peach blossom ferry to prepare to cross the river.

There are more than a dozen boats parked in the Taohua Ferry, but only two or three are waiting for passengers, and the rest are either just cooking or no one is there.

Chu Sihai looked around, thought for a while, and then walked towards a new ship. There was only one boatman on board, a middle-aged man, who wore a hat on his head, which was pressed very low, and his face could not be seen clearly.

Chu Sihai said: "Boatman, cross the river with us." Is this money enough?" After saying that, he threw a broken piece of silver to the boatman.

The boatman Lisuo put away the silver and said in a loud voice in the Jiangnan County accent: "Okay, today is a good day, and we have to sail early in the morning to welcome guests." Guest officer, please, the two of you are together, do you want to cross the river to the other side, or take the waterway to the field?"

Chu Sihai said neatly: "Cross the river." The two got into the boat and sat down in the boat.

The boatman took the anchor, stood at the bow, and as soon as the bamboo pole was propped up, the boat swung out.

The little Taoist priest Li Qingshan was on a boat for the first time, and at first he was a little shaky and dizzy, but he adjusted his breathing after a while when he carried the "Taixuan Tuna Method", and he quickly adapted to it.

Paddled to the center of the river, the boatman suddenly stopped rowing and said: "The two guest officers are extraordinary in appearance and outstanding in temperament. This trail is long and handsome, and his spirit is flying, and he should be a famous teacher and apprentice. I don't know where the little Taoist master is cultivating and who he is learning from?"

Chu Sihai listened to the boatman Wen Crepe talking, frowned slightly, didn't answer this time, and kept silent.

Li Qingshan smiled slightly and replied: "Boat family, I have won the prize, Xiaodao is cultivating in Zhongzhou Xianlai Mountain." Master's name is inconvenient to reveal. ”

The boatman smiled, took off his hat, showed a swarthy face, and then asked, "Is the little Taoist chief called Li Qingshan?"

Li Qingshan pretended to be surprised, and asked rhetorically: "How do you know that my name is Li Qingshan?" In fact, he had been informed by Chu Sihai last night that there would be a good show when he crossed the river, and he only needed to accompany the acting, and Chu Sihai would deal with the rest. Therefore, as soon as he arrived in the heart of the river, as soon as the boatman opened his mouth to ask, he knew that a good show was about to appear.

The boatman threw the hat in his hand into the river and sneered: "Then it is indeed Li Qingshan." Hehe, when you arrive at this peach blossom river, please drink some water in the river, and then follow me for a while. How offended!" After speaking, the bamboo pole struck the boat board hard, and the boat board actually pierced a hole, and the river water gushed out rapidly.

Chu Sihai jumped over and slapped a palm at the boatman, and the wind in his palm sank vigorously. The boatman did not dare to take it hard, so he jumped out with a rod and plunged into the vast river, and his body was very athletic, and he seemed to be a person who often mixed the rivers and lakes on the water.

On a hillside far away from the shore, a colorful firework rose into the air, and someone could see that it was giving a signal. Sure enough, after the fireworks, the boatmen who had been unmanned on the ferry were all standing boatmen, rowing towards the center of the river, and several boats on the other side of the ferry also rowed over.

Chu Sihai flew to the cabin, photographed two wooden boards, pressed the hole with one of them, and used the other as an oar to row the boat. His bravery was amazing, and with a single row, the boat went faster than before.

Not far after rowing, there was a knocking sound under the stern of the boat, and then there was a bang, and the plank broke a bigger hole, and the river rushed in with a sharp and fierce rush.

Chu Sihai untied the bag on his back and threw it to Li Qingshan, and said, "Boy, take your things, try to block the entrance of the cave and support it for a while, and wait for me to clean up these water ghosts who don't know whether they are alive or dead." After saying that, he plunged his head into the water.

Li Qingshan was not in a hurry, tore off the sleeve of his right hand, kneaded it into a large ball, and stuffed it into the small hole here, blocking the water ingress. Then take the plank and go to the other end and press the big hole with the plank. After completing this series of movements, he stood firmly on the boat, his feet on the planks pressing the hole opening, his eyes fixed on the vast river.

The boats rowed on both sides were getting closer and closer to him, and he could clearly see that the people on the boats were all dressed in strong suits, some were blue, some were cyan, and some were black, apparently belonging to different gangs.

The first big ship was the fastest, and the people on board were all dressed in black. They rowed the boat two feet away from Li Qingshan, and several big men on the bow threw out several anchor hooks, hooked Li Qingshan's boat to death, and narrowed the distance between them.

When the two boats were close, the big men jumped on the boat, did not speak, and surrounded Li Qingshan. The first person went straight out with his right hand and pointed at Li Qingshan's acupoint.

Li Qingshan was hesitating whether to show his martial arts, or pretend to be captured. But I saw that four people came up from the river one after another, including the original boatman, each of whom was pale and depressed, and could not move. Then, Chu Sihai surfaced, holding the bamboo pole in his left hand, and jumped onto the boat from the water like a green onion on dry land. The people on the nearby boats applauded loudly when they saw that he was able to perform such light feats in the water!

Li Qingshan was overjoyed when he saw that Chu Sihai had returned, but he pretended to be frightened on his face, and with a "sigh", he shrank down and dodged the man's acupoint skills.

Chu Sihai stepped on the boat, and before he could stand firmly, he shot directly at the people on the boat. The martial arts of these people were too different from him, and they couldn't withstand his punches and kicks at all, and they all fell into the water after a while.

The remaining occupants of the ship that threw the anchor rope were taken aback and quickly untied the anchor rope, intending to turn around and escape.

Chu Sihai stood on the bow of the boat, like a god, shouted, picked up the bamboo pole and threw it at the opponent's boat. The bamboo pole carries the wind that breaks through the sky, and it is urgent and fast. The people on the boat were so frightened that they dodged the bamboo pole, which popped into the cabin. Before those people could get up, Chu Sihai had already grabbed the anchor rope, and with a pull, the two ships were pulled closer.

Only one or two meters closer, Chu Sihai held Li Qingshan in one hand and the originally injured boatman in the other, and lightly jumped onto another boat. He weighed about two hundred pounds, and Li Qingshan and the boatman also had a total of five or six hundred pounds, but this leap was like walking on the ground, and once again showed extremely superb kung fu.

When everyone on the boat saw that he had come on board, they were so frightened that they quickly jumped into the river and fled for their lives.

Chu Sihai untied those anchor cables one by one, picked up the oars, and rowed quickly towards the shore. The rest of the people on the ship saw Chu Sihai's majestic power, and they no longer dared to approach, so they could only follow from a distance.

After a while, the boat approached the shore, Chu Sihai threw the unconscious boatman onto the shore, and he and Li Qingshan jumped ashore. He scolded: "It's all some useless stinky fish and rotten shrimp." Then he woke up the boatman.

The boatman woke up and saw Chu Sihai and Li Qingshan, trembling.

Chu Sihai sneered: "What kind of gang are you, dare to come and fight my idea." Whatever I ask you, you answer!"

The boatman trembled, and apparently had suffered greatly in the water. He said: "The hero spares his life, and the small one reports it truthfully." I am Wu Feng, the deputy gang leader of the Jianghe Gang, known as the 'Hunjiang Dragon' by the people of the rivers and lakes, and I am in charge of this Peach Blossom River. The other three people under the water just now were Jiangnan Sanjiao of the Nanyan Gang. ”

Chu Sihai laughed and said, "What dragons, what Jiao, they are all insects that have not been beaten! Who sent you?"

Wu Feng trembled and said, "We were ordered by the Peach Blossom Wanted Order to arrest the little Taoist Li Qingshan. They also said that your martial arts are very powerful, but I didn't expect your underwater skills to be so good!"

"Underwater Kung Fu? When Lao Tzu was mixing in the rivers and lakes in Dongzhou, you weren't born yet. In the land of Dongzhou, no one is accustomed to swimming. Say, what is the Peach Blossom Wanted Warrant, why hasn't the old man heard of it?" Chu Sihai continued to ask.

"This Peach Blossom Wanted Order is the most mysterious token in Jiangnan County, Peach Blossom County, and Liuyun County in Dongzhou. The person who issued this order must be a person of great status in the Chongwen Palace. And this token is an unusual shot, and there must be a big deal when it is shot. Wu Feng gasped a few times and looked at Chu Sihai with anxiety.

Chu Sihai pondered for a while and said, "Chongwen Palace, Shangguan Jinglun's Chongwen Palace?" thought that it couldn't be him who made a move on us.

Wu Feng was taken aback when he saw him shouting Wen Sheng's name, and continued: "It is definitely not the palace master who issued the order. Our palace master is a land saint, and he often sees the head and the tail, and he will not directly care about such idle things as us. But to be able to issue such an order must not be a general person. Previously, in Peach Blossom County, there were already eyeliners staring at you everywhere. Because we know that you will definitely cross the river, the Jianghe Gang, the Southern Salt Gang, and the Northern Salt Gang have joined forces to set up an ambush here. We think that although the martial arts of heroes are high, they may not be able to defeat us in the water. I never thought that the hero's martial arts are not only superb, but also so good underwater kung fu!"

Chu Sihai laughed and said, "Don't shoot Lao Tzu's sycophants." As soon as Lao Tzu got on the boat, he knew that you had bad intentions. How can an ordinary boatman not like the silver, but you don't even look at it and accept it. Hmph, what Jianghe Gang, Southern Salt Gang, and Northern Salt Gang are all a group of rabble. Don't say that you are a few small gangs, that is, the entire martial arts, which one have I ever been afraid of?"

Wu Feng saw him laughing at his gang, and he only had a bitter smile in his heart. He hesitated for a moment, then said, "The hero is indeed amazing. My river gang planted it thoroughly this time. I just ask the hero to spare his life, and my Jianghe Gang has since withdrawn from this matter. In addition, our Jianghe Gang kindly reminds the two of you that there are still many sects ahead to deal with you, please be careful!"

Li Qingshan was surprised and said: "We have just traveled down the mountain for a short time, and we don't know when we have made enemies!"

Wu Feng replied: "We don't know the specific situation. I only know that the person who gave the order has a very high status and has a great background!"

Chu Sihai said: "Even if you are honest, you can be regarded as a good man in your style." Get out of here, spare your life!"

Wu Feng looked at Chu Sihai uneasily, and asked weakly: "The villain dares to guess, but the hero is the world-famous Chu Sihai Uncle Chu back then?"

Chu Sihai said: "Haha, I didn't expect that there are juniors in Dongzhou who recognize me." Not bad, yes, it's Chu Sihai below. Go back and tell me nothing. I've been living in seclusion for many years, and I don't want to see these old people in Dongzhou. ”

Wu Feng straightened up, clenched his fists and said, "It's really Uncle Chu." The villain usually admires Uncle Chu the most, but he doesn't know Mount Tai with his eyes, and he is offended. The villain is planted in your old hands, and it is also a matter of course. Then I will say goodbye, and when I go back, I will persuade our Jianghe Gang to not dare to get involved in this matter!"

Chu Sihai smiled at Li Qingshan and said: "Boy, I have made so many enemies when I first entered the rivers and lakes, it seems to be fun!"

Li Qingshan glanced at him and said, "What's the matter with me." Did your old enemy come to seek revenge?"

Chu Sihai said categorically: "Impossible. I have been in seclusion for more than a decade. My Chu family also has a door and face in Dongzhou, and I haven't seen anyone come to make trouble. Anyone will know about me and dare to deal with me. He stared at Li Qingshan up and down, and quipped: "The person who can issue the Chongwen Order, maybe people are looking for you, haha." ”

Li Qingshan gave him a blank look, turned his head and continued on his way. Chu Sihai followed closely behind, one old and one young returned to normal.
