In the evening, when it was time to agree with the boatman, Su Lianqing and his party set off from the inn and headed for the ferry.

There are two relatively large ferries near Tianhe Town, some for government use and one for civilian use. Needless to say, they naturally went to the civilian ferry.

"Wow, these boats look so magnificent! Sister Su, is this the boat we're going to take later?"

Looking at the tall and gorgeous boats on the ferry, Xiaoshan was very excited.

"That's the official ship, our ship is in front. However, what I'm looking for is no worse than what you see!" Su Lianqing pointed forward.

After passing through Guandu, Xiaoshan they came to bring Mindu here. There were already quite a few people gathered at the ferry, most of them adventure groups. Some people who were more familiar with "Heming" greeted Su Lianqing and greeted them one after another.

"Yo, isn't this Grand Master Su? You want to take this ship too? This doesn't fit your identity!"

"What's the matter, you 'brute bulls' can sit, but our 'crane singing' can't sit?"

"That's it! We 'brute bulls' are all rough old men, and we sit on everything. You Grand Master Su is so expensive. How can you make such a ship that is about to be scrapped?

The people of "Heming" were all stunned when they heard this, why did Su Lianqing contact a scrapped ship for a long time?

Xiaoshan took a closer look at the boat parked on the ferry, but it was quite tall, and he couldn't see anything from the outside. However, when he took a closer look, he found that the ship was indeed relatively old, and it should be about to be obsolete.

"It can't be said that Grand Master Su is notoriously calculating. Although this ship is indeed a little old, it can't stand the cheap freight. How could Grand Master Su miss such a good opportunity. Besides, aren't the people on this ship all here because of the cheap freight!"

Another group of people came over, plus the group of "wild bulls", and more than 20 people had gathered in Xiaoshan. Moreover, there are still people rushing here one after another, and it seems that there are still many people who want to be cheap.

"Su Su, didn't you say that the ships you are looking for are not worse than those official ships, what's the matter with this almost scrapped?" Qiu Xiaotian said with a frown.

Although it was night, the embarrassment on Su Lianqing's face could still be seen in the bright light of the ferry.

"Oh, isn't that pretty tall? I've seen it on the boat, and it's all there. It's just that this ship is a bit old, and the shipowner said that he wouldn't run after two more trips, so the freight is much cheaper than other ships. ”

Su Lianqing's explanation made Qiu Xiaotian a little speechless, no wonder she was a little reluctant to find another ship, her feelings were really cheap.

"Get on the boat, get on the boat, and the person who paid the deposit will come to me to register first!"

There was a gong sound, and the boat boss had already begun to let people board the ship.

It was the first time for Xiaoshan to take a boat, and it was on such a large boat with so many people. Although it was a ship that was about to be scrapped, and it couldn't compare to the official ships he had seen before, he was still excited.

After getting on the boat, Xiaoshan did not go to the cabin with Su Lianqing and them, but went to the bow of the boat alone.

"The ship will leave immediately, why don't you stay in the cabin? Isn't it the first time you've been on a boat, and you're not afraid of seasickness?"

Qiu Xiaotian walked over.

Xiaoshan turned around and said with a smile, "It's my first time on a boat, but I don't think I should get dizzy." ”

"Also, if you cultivate to a high level, if you get dizzy if you take a boat, it will make people see a joke. ”

Xiaoshan and Qiu Xiaotian chatted with each other on the bow of the boat, and as the gong sounded again, the ship that was about to be scrapped finally set sail.

The moon and stars are scarce, and the evening breeze is gusting. With the sound of the water rushing of the Tianhe River, Xiaoshan also began his first trip on the water.

The speed of the boat was not fast, and although Xiaoshan could feel the hull of the boat swaying with the river, he did not feel any discomfort. It may be that riding a horse has been used to it.

"We're going backwards from this side to the other side, so it's going to be slow, and it will take more than an hour. However, the ship is older, and it travels very slowly, probably a little longer. During this time, the two of us pay more attention, I always think that something will happen tonight. ”

"Brother Qiu, do you really believe that there are monsters in this heavenly river?"

Qiu Xiaotian was silent for a moment, then turned his head to look at Xiao Shan and said, "What do you think of the 'Phantom' adventure group that Boss Ma said?"

Xiaoshan scratched his head and said, "I haven't even heard of it, what can I think." Brother Qiu, did you find anything?"

Qiu Xiaotian shook his head and said, "I'm also guessing. Boss Ma said that the 'Phantom' adventure group used the Wind Beast to rob them of their business, and it happened that a boat had an accident on this Tianhe River two days ago, and it was still a nobleman's boat, is it just a coincidence?"

"You mean, the Phantom guys did the ship's accident?"

"In the afternoon, I went out to inquire. The nobleman who had the accident was a native of Western Xinjiang, and he was going back from the Eastern Continent to attend an auction. Since he was attending an auction, he either brought a lot of silver or a lot of good things. So..."

"Kill people and sell goods!"

"It's very likely!"

Xiaoshan thought for a while, and then said with a smile: "If it is really murder and overkill, then we must be safe, after all, a boatload of people is poor." Otherwise, there would be no attempt to get on this ship cheaply. ”

Qiu Xiaotian was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Xiaoshan to look at the problem from a very tricky angle, but what he said did make sense.

"There's nothing wrong with that!" Qiu Xiaotian laughed.

"That's right, Brother Qiu. We can all guess that the shipwreck is probably caused by someone killing people and stealing goods, so can't the government guess it? The government didn't give a clear explanation?"

Qiu Xiaotian sighed and said, "What can you guess." It happened suddenly, and it was night again. At dawn, apart from the wreckage of the ship, the government had found nothing. Not to mention a living mouth, there is not even a corpse. No matter how much you track it down, it's a waste of manpower, so you have to stop it. ”

"Aren't the people of Jing Mingting very good at investigating cases? They have a lot of masters, even if they only find the wreckage of the ship, they should be able to find some clues!"

Qiu Xiaotian smiled and said, "Who do you think are the people in the Jing Ming Court? This little thing will alarm them? Besides, the people in the Jing Ming Court don't have the time to take care of such a small matter now." You're from Fengyun Academy, so you should have heard about your son of the city lord of Fengyun City, right?"

Xiaoshan nodded and said, "That's right, it is estimated that a considerable number of the people in Jingming Court have already rushed to the Western Frontier at this moment, and they really don't care about such a trivial matter." ”

"That person is just a small nobleman in Western Xinjiang, not to mention that Jing Mingting is busy now. Even if it's okay, I guess I won't bother with such a thing. After all, the people of Jing Mingting are not invited by everyone. ”

Hearing this, Xiaoshan sighed. Then he raised his head and looked at the stars in the sky, and sighed: "Yes! After all, it is an organization that is only loyal to the emperor, ordinary little nobles, they really don't pay attention to it. ”

Qiu Xiaotian sighed softly and said no more. And Xiaoshan also looked at the stars in the sky and began to be in a daze.

But looking at it, Xiaoshan's brows furrowed.

"Brother Qiu, you said at that time that we were retrograde on the water now. That means we're heading northwest right now, right?"

"yes, what's the problem?"

"But why do I think we're heading southwest?"

"Huh?"

Qiu Xiaotian was stunned for a moment, and then grabbed the railing on the bridge and looked out. But because it was night, he didn't see anything.

"Chiju, you said we are heading southwest, but what is the basis?"

There was no reference on the dark river, so Qiu Xiaotian didn't know how Xiaoshan felt it.

Faced with Qiu Xiaotian's question, Xiaoshan did not explain directly, he jumped from the bow of the boat.

"Chiju!" Qiu Xiaotian was shocked!

But soon, Qiu Xiaotian understood Xiaoshan's intentions. I saw that after jumping forward from the bow of the boat for a short distance, he froze on the surface of the water and did not jump into the water.

Qiu Xiaotian watched the bow of the boat go wrong with Xiaoshan, and did not hit Xiaoshan.

Jumping again, the hill jumped back to the bow from the right side of the boat.

"See, Brother Qiu. I jumped in the northwest direction. If the ship was heading northwest, it should have been coming straight at me, but it missed it. Moreover, it is getting farther and farther away from me. This means..."

"The ship is indeed heading south. Not good!" Qiu Xiaotian exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly ran towards the cabin.

"Boat boss!"

"Boat boss!"

Qiu Xiaotian shouted at the boat boss as he ran, but no one paid attention to him.

"Brother Qiu, what's wrong?"

"Yes, old feud. What's wrong with your panic?"

Qiu Xiaotian didn't call the boat boss, but the other people in the cabin ran out after hearing his shout.

"The ship is sailing south!" Qiu Xiaotian said in a deep voice as he looked at everyone.

"So what's going on?" the crowd didn't react for a moment.

"The ferry port on the western side of Xinjiang is on the top, which means that we should go north, but now the boat is going south, what do you say!"

"Old Qiu, what you said is true?" The "brute" man understood what he meant.

"What am I lying to you for, we just did the test ourselves!" Qiu Xiaotian said as he pointed to the hill that was still standing on the bow of the boat.

"Boat boss!"

"Boat boss!

Everyone knew that this matter was not trivial, and they looked for the figure of the boat boss.

At this moment, the hull of the ship suddenly shook, and then everyone felt a whirlwind of the sky.

"What's wrong? What's going on?"

"The boat is spinning, everyone stands up, and if you can't stand, lie down!"

After Xiao Shan finished shouting, he jumped directly into the air, and then he stood directly in the void, staring intently below.

"Arachishige, what did you find!" Shi Changfeng also walked out of the cabin.

Looking condescendingly at the spinning boat, and then the light on the boat, Xiaoshan noticed that a huge whirlpool appeared in the river, and the whirlpool was directly below the boat.

"There's something in the water!" Xiaoshan shouted at the people in the boat.

"Something, what?"

"Is there really a monster?"

Apparently, some people have also heard about the fact that a ship was attacked by a monster the other day.

"Arachizhong, what are you going to do?" Shi Changfeng was still relatively calm.

"Everyone lie down on the boat!Shi Changfeng, see the opportunity to punch the water in the north with your Open Heaven Fist!"

"Good!"

Shi Changfeng didn't talk nonsense, he didn't care whether the people on the boat were lying down or not, he came to the starboard side of the boat, calmed down, and then shouted loudly and slammed his fist into the water.

The huge whirlpool was blasted open a gap, and with the force of the water, the whole ship was quickly pushed southward and left the center of the whirlpool.

The obedient people on the boat were okay, they were all honestly lying on their stomachs, and those who were disobedient were directly thrown into a rut. The screams were followed by a burst of swearing.

After the ship left the center of the vortex, the hill standing in the air also moved.

"I want to see where you are!"

With a cold snort, Xiao Shan was full of True Yuan, and the True Qi around his body was running wildly, and a pale golden light burst out from Xiao Shan's body. Then, Xiaoshan's right hand flexed his fingers into a claw, and the void grabbed downward, shouting: "Get up!"

The dragon reappeared in absorbing water, and an incomparably thick column of water was "dragged" out of the river by the hill!

Through the pale golden light emanating from the hill, people were surprised to find that there was a huge black shadow writhing in the column of water.

"Come out!"

The hill in the air let out a deep sigh again, clenched his right hand into a fist, and shattered the water column with one punch. And the writhing black shadow in the water injection was also beaten out by Xiaoshan.

A bucket of water was thick and thin, three feet long, like a fish but not a fish, like a snake but not a snake, and the black creature swept over the heads of everyone on the boat and fell into the water.

"Do you see what it is?"

Xiaoshan, who jumped back into the boat, asked the frightened crowd.
