In the end, three cargo ships were able to get closer, and the others mysteriously disappeared into the fog.
Geng Shaohua immediately ordered to use ropes to tie the only remaining boats together, so as not to be broken by each one again.
Everyone was busy silently, secretly keeping a high level of vigilance, and no one knew what would happen next.
"Lao Yi, let's start!" Diao Xiaosi walked to the stern of the boat and said to Yi Bai, who was standing next to the rudder oars.
Yi Bai nodded, and his luck blew out a whistling, the whistle was suddenly rapid and sharp, but it was a unique way of transmitting information in the Yangtze River Twelve Chain Dock.
At this moment, the bosses of the other three ships had been replaced by the children of Yi Baimen, and immediately understood the hidden meaning of the whistle, and quickly ordered the winch to adjust the angle of the sails.
After a while, the four boats retreated in a row and slowly reversed in the direction of the center of the river.
The fog around them was blowing, and for a moment it faded like a tide to reveal a vague figure, and for the next it was like an army of thousands of horses rushing towards it, devouring everything in vain.
Heaven and earth fell silent, except for the tense and oppressive breathing, only the wind roared.
Time is like a tenacious cowhide band, which is being infinitely stretched by an invisible hand, but it does not know when it will suddenly break.
Suddenly, a few clusters of faint blue lights gradually lit up in the depths of the dense fog behind the stern, vaguely resembling a large ship moored in the middle of the river. There were a few people standing at the bow of the boat, but unfortunately the fog was too thick to see.
The people on board let out a low cheer, and the four cargo ships accelerated towards the larger ship opposite.
At this time, a sudden change occurred, and the white mist in all directions suddenly closed, and the mist thickened and thickened at an incredible rate, as if the milky white slurry of substance was surging in a torrent of mountains and seas.
"Woo-" In the mist, hundreds of huge and incoherent white birds suddenly shot out. Each white bird was made of haze, spreading its huge wings to cover the sky and swooping down, and swooping down on the ship.
At the same time, in the river below, white waves suddenly soared into the sky. The white waves swirled and twisted in the air, and suddenly turned into a snow python with the thickness of the mouth of the tank, opening its bloody mouth and screaming and biting.
"Everyone, help me!" Geng Shaohua shouted loudly when he saw that the situation was critical, and urged Zhenyuan to sacrifice the ancestral immortal treasure "Bagua Copper Table" from his cuffs.
Mrs. Geng, Qin Qiong, Wan'er and the others each put out a palm against his vest, and without hesitation, they injected the pure and pure qi of their respective ascetic cultivation into Geng Shaohua's body, and even Yi Bai gave up his rudder oars and rushed over to help.
"Hum-" The bronze cylinder on the original ruler rose in response, and suddenly expanded dozens of times and hung high above the cargo ship, exuding a magnificent cyan divine light. The light spread like a tide and clouds in all directions, turning into a spherical light mask, and the golden veins on the surface appeared to shine, and the gossip pattern appeared.
Under the joint urging of everyone, the golden runes on the Bagua copper watch turned faster and faster, quickly covering the four cargo ships within a radius of dozens of zhang. The white bird snow python swooped down one after another, slammed into the light mask, and then exploded into a cloud of mist with a muffled "bang".
The Bagua Bronze Watch trembled violently, emitting a rising green aura, and the light mask kept twisting and deforming and involuntarily shrinking in.
Boss Hou exclaimed: "Hurry up and find a way, this cover won't last long!"
Although Fang Xuanling was a weak scholar and quite bold, he stood on the bow of the ship and stared at the white bird snow python attacking in the air, and said: "Strange, why do they keep staring at the cargo ship to attack, but they don't deviate to other places?"
Diao Xiaosi had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and shouted: "Turn off the lights! All the lights on the ship, not a single one will be left!"
Everyone was stunned, and Qin Qiong shouted: "Quick, do what Mr. Diao said!"
"Po, po, po-" In an instant, the lights on the four cargo ships were all extinguished, and only the blue light from the Bagua copper watch flickered.
Geng Shaohua gritted his teeth and contemplated the gossip copper watch. With a "whoosh" sound, a touch of green light was incorporated into the cuffs, and the eyes fell into a darkness that could not be seen.
Everyone held their breath and was nervous to the extreme, holding the immortal soldier demon blade with both hands and waiting for the battle.
Time passed little by little, and the boat was extremely quiet, and Diao Xiaosi stretched his spiritual sense to see the white birds and snow pythons flying back and forth like headless flies overhead, unable to find the target of the attack.
He breathed a long sigh of relief, knowing that he had made the right bet this time, but he didn't realize that his palms were full of cold sweat.
Yi Baigong gathered his eyes and looked ahead, and the mysterious ship he had seen earlier had disappeared into the depths of the fog.
Mrs. Geng's voice trembled slightly and said hoarsely, "Little Fourth Uncle, what should we do next?"
As soon as Diao Xiaosi wanted to speak, he heard an ethereal and melodious piano sound floating in the wind from nowhere.
It is an ancient style of the Southern Dynasties, singing "Lotus Leaf He Tiantian", the sound of the piano is euphemistic and the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, but it is infinitely murderous compared to the dense fog in front of him, inexplicably revealing a treacherous and gloomy atmosphere.
Suddenly, a runner "Dangchang" let go of the copper rod in his hand, and walked forward with his eyes straight forward.
Wan'er hurriedly called the name of the executioner and said, "Zheng Yu, what are you going to do?"
Zheng Yu ignored it, stepped out of the side of the ship, and stepped on the empty space. Seeing this, Yi Bai jumped forward and grabbed his arm.
The unbelievable happened, Zheng Yu's feet stepped on the fog surging outside the ship, and he actually walked on the ground, staggering and disappearing in the darkness.
Yi Bai stretched out his hand to grab the air, and suddenly felt the figure around him flicker, and another sailor on the ship stepped out of the side of the ship and stepped into the thick fog.
Fang Xuanling's face changed slightly: "This piano song-" As soon as he spoke, the sound of "Lotus Leaf He Tiantian" sounded repeatedly in his ears, which made his heart irritable and lost his mind in a trance, and just like Zheng Yu and the sailor, Mu Ran walked forward.
"Hug Yuan Shouyi, don't listen to the sound of the piano!" Qin Qiong shouted in a low voice, stepped out and slapped his palm on Fang Xuanling's back.
A soft aura came out, and Fang Xuanling's body shook and fell into a coma.
However, in just a short time, the executioners, sailors, and some less skilled dart masters on the four cargo ships all walked in line one by one as if they were enchanted and walked out of the fog outside the ship.
Diao Xiaosi was protected by the cold of the nameless female corpse in his body, but he was not afraid of this strange piano sound, and hurriedly shouted: "Stun them!"
Geng Shaohua and the others did it together, but someone still walked out of the cargo ship and disappeared into the fog.
Gradually, the sound of the piano turned poignant, and it was another poem "Wind and rain like obscurity".
Wan'er couldn't resist it at first, and her delicate body trembled slightly and whispered softly. Diao Xiaosi didn't care about it, grabbed her soft and boneless slender hand, and turned the star qi over.
At the last moment, Boss Hou suddenly took out a black whistle from his arms and put it to his mouth to "chirp".
With each blow, the black whistle shimmered like ripples into the fog.
The whistle was as sharp as an ape's cry, and it was extremely harsh to hear, and everyone's hearts were shaken by qi and blood, and the magic of the qin music was greatly weakened invisibly, almost inaudible.
After a moment, the sound of the piano in the distance stopped abruptly. Boss Hou was relieved and put down the black whistle, panting.
Yi Bai looked at Boss Hou and sneered: "Your Excellency is the third master of the Demon Gate who crisscrossed the two lakes more than ten years ago, and it is really a real person who does not show his face, and he is disrespectful and disrespectful!"
Except for Diao Xiaosi and Wan'er, the others were stunned when they heard this. It turned out that more than ten years ago, there was an elusive lone thief on the ground of the two lakes, calling himself "Little White Ape", and thousands of night thieves came and went like the wind and never missed. Later, for some reason, he suddenly disappeared, and unexpectedly turned into the big boss of the Buddha Citang in front of him!
Hou Junji smiled bitterly and said: "Fifth Master Yi is complaining that I didn't make a move earlier, right? Now that the identity is exposed, I'm afraid this Buddha Citang is over. ”
Yi Bai was stunned, and suddenly heard Qin Qiong shouting: "Look, there is a boat ahead, it seems to be ours!"
When everyone heard the prestige, such as Geng Shaohua's cultivation, they also needed all their strength to barely see that there was a cargo ship drifting down the river more than ten zhang away, looming over.
He couldn't help but glance at Qin Qiong in surprise, and said secretly: "This person has such exquisite skills, how can he be willing to be an executioner?"
In a blink of an eye, the ship had drifted to a place five or six feet away, and Yi Baiyi was bold and said, "I'll go over and take a look!" Pulling the dragon tendon whip on tiptoe to the ground, he jumped onto the opposite cargo ship with a rise and landing.
His senses expanded, and he found that the cargo on the ship had remained intact, but all the people had disappeared, drifting empty on the river like a ghost ship.
Geng Shaohua and Wan'er also flew down on the cargo ship. Wan'er's cultivation has just broken through the realm of microscopic viewing, and she has been able to refine the true yuan and resist the wind, and this distance of several zhang is not a problem.
Several people looked at each other in shock. Needless to say, nine times out of ten, the people on the boat were bewitched by the sound of the piano just now and abandoned the boat. But looking at the empty cargo ship, and the blades, wood pulp and other objects falling all over the ground, I still can't help but feel a chill.
"Huh!" Qin Qiong threw a thick rope over the iron stake at the bow of the ship, brought the two boats together, and said, "First gather all the rest of the people on our ship." ”
Hou Junji nodded, he seemed to know Qin Qiong's true identity, and went away with the two little guys.
In a few moments, the other three boats, including those who had been knocked unconscious, had all gathered together, and the total number of them was less than twenty.
After a period of busyness, everyone gathered at the stern of the boat to think of countermeasures. Perhaps two successive attacks were defused, and the enemy in the darkness was temporarily silent, and the river surface returned to a deathly silence.
Geng Shaohua looked at Qin Qiong and said, "This brother, you are extraordinary and by no means a nobody, but you don't know who you are?"
Diao Xiaosi was taken aback, you need to know that Qin Qiong is a prisoner of the Great Sui Dynasty, if his identity is exposed, he will probably not be able to eat and walk around.
He hurriedly replied first: "The master is not a master, that is, the brother-in-law of the distant nephew of the nephew next door to my seventh aunt's house. ”
Geng Shaohua was stunned, so he didn't ask anything more.
Mrs. Geng asked, "Strange, why don't thieves scuttle our cargo ship?"
Hou Junji said hesitantly: "As soon as the ship sinks, all the medicinal herbs are soaked in the water, and it will be worthless." ”
Before the words fell, Yi Bai suddenly shouted, "Look, what is that thing floating over?!"
