Chapter 175 Who surpasses who
He called twice in a row, but seeing that no one responded, the Taoist Ziyang said with a gloomy face: "Master Sun, let's drive the boat to the ashore as soon as possible. I can do something to exorcise evil spirits for the young master."
Sun Deyuan was just thinking about this and hurriedly ordered the boat to go.
Seeing that the Sun family left, the people who were watching were even more courageous and shouted for retribution.
Looking at the excited crowd, Chang Jin opened his mouth without saying a word. He could see clearly that just before the wind started, Abi made a hidden move.
Without the excitement, the people around them drove their own boats and soon the river surface returned to peace
Because the cargo ship was about to stop at the wharf for overnight, Chang Jin and Wang Qinian saw that it was not dark yet, so they discussed it and went ashore to eat some food.
This place is not far from Fengtai Prefecture City, and is located on a major waterway traffic road. In addition, this area is a fishing area marked, so it is quite prosperous.
There are nearly a hundred ships of all sizes on the pier, scattered with masts, which is very spectacular.
When they set foot on land, they saw a setting sun in the sky, dyeing the white sails on the pier into orange. Fisherman's songs from afar are occasionally heard from the wind, which really makes the smell of fishing boats singing late.
When you enter the town, the noise of shouting and shouting comes to your face, mixed with intermittent sounds of silk and bamboo.
On both sides of the street, two-story green tiles and white walls can be seen everywhere. The streets are not wide, and the road is paved with bluestone. Teahouses and wine shops are everywhere, and hawkers walking around the streets are heard.
The few of them had never expected such a prosperous scene before and suddenly seemed to have walked into the palace.
Because of Huo Wanniang's affairs, no one was in the mood to stroll around, so they ate some food and returned to the boat.
As the night became darker and thicker, the river surface completely calmed down. Except for the fishing fires at the pier, there was no movement at all at the pier.
At this time, Chang Jin did not fall asleep, but just read at night under the light.
I don't know how long it took, a low shout came from a distance. Chang Jin glanced at Wang Qinian who was sleeping in the cabin, and then pressed his sword out of the room.
Standing at the bow of the boat, looking into the distance, a large ship sailed towards the middle of the river in the darkness, and it was the one that I saw carrying the Sun family during the day.
Chang Jin released his spiritual consciousness, and several Taoist priests on the ship were there.
During the day, he already knew that those Taoists would not give up if they had lost face.
"Su Su..." With a soft call, Sister Bai Susu and others soon appeared at the bow of the ship.
"It's them, let's follow and take a look." After saying that, Bai Susu sacrificed his magic weapon, which was a hexagonal flower basket.
The flower basket fell silently into the water, turning into a size of more than meter, and the space was enough for three people to stand.
Chang Jin had seen this magic weapon some time ago, but he didn't expect it to be of such a wonderful use.
When he stood firm, Bai Susu activated his spiritual power, and the flower basket broke through the waves and advanced, and in a moment he drove alongside the big ship.
But they didn't want to alarm everyone on the boat, they deliberately walked around two miles away, quietly hiding into the darkness, waiting for the situation to develop.
It was already late at night, the river was cold, the waves were surging, and the water was filled with water.
In the dark river water, big fish and turtle shells pass by from time to time, and undercurrents are rolling up in the middle of the river.
Not long after the big ship sailed into the middle of the river, a woman's crying sounded, and then she heard the exclamation of the sailors on the boat.
"Don't be afraid, if you have a master here, you will definitely let the water ghost scatter tonight." Seeing this, the Taoist immediately spoke out to comfort him.
Under the comfort of the Taoist, the sailors on the boat finally calmed down, and then placed an incense table on the bow of the boat as instructed. There were divine positions and incense burners on the incense table, and then the method was used later.
The apprentice took out the scythe, lit three incense sticks and inserted them into the incense burner, and said, "Master, you're ready.
At this time, the Ziyang Taoist man was wearing an apricot yellow Taoist robe and holding a peach wood sword in his hand. He looked at the sailor next to him and frowned slightly: "The idle man will retreat to the cabin for the time being, don't disturb me."
After saying that, Taoist Ziyang chanted a spell and waved the peach wood sword in his hand repeatedly. After a while, the spiritual energy around the ship began to surge.
When the spiritual energy gathered to the peak, he suddenly inserted the peach wood sword in his hand towards the river. As the peach wood sword swung down, a dazzling light immediately popped up, and then several talismans flashed out, causing the river to turmoil violently.
Chang Jin was a little surprised. This Taoist priest was quite good at knowing how to control water spells and seek ghosts.
At this time, his heart moved slightly, and he felt that the water in the river was not flowing right, as if something was about to appear.
Soon, a woman's figure appeared from her mind, and the other party quickly passed through the water like an invisible fish, and a few breaths appeared on the river surface.
The figure was Huo Wanniang. Now she has become a water ghost, and her soul exudes a kind of yin energy. Chang Jin could see clearly that there was no filthy aura in it, but it was a red aura. It should have not caused any harm to others, otherwise it would not be so pure.
"What kind of technique is this? It can really attract the water ghost?" A Bi shouted in surprise.
"It should be that the Taoist got Huo Wanniang's hair from Li Shunchang, so he was able to call the other party to come." Chang Jin explained. He had used similar magical powers to Daoist Liu and had some understanding of this.
"This water ghost is amazing. He just died for a few days. Why has he practiced to the third turn of human immortals?" Bai Susu saw the luck above Huo Wanniang's head and shouted.
"She had such luck in her originally," Chang Jin felt a little regretful. Huo Wanniang's luck was red and white during her lifetime, and even ordinary scholars were far inferior.
While they were talking, Huo Wanniang frowned slightly, stared at the Taoist who cast the spell on the bow of the boat and asked, "Who are you? Why can you summon me?"
Huo Wanniang drowned that day. She thought she was already in the underworld when she woke up, but when she opened her eyes, she found that she was lying in the cold mud at the bottom of the river, with many fish and shrimps around her eating.
She had no idea what was going on, and just shouted in horror, frightening all the fish and shrimps away. Only when her spiritual sense slowly recovered did she notice that she was standing outside looking at her body. It felt like she was looking at herself in the mirror.
Finally, she finally realized that she should have died and now exists in the form of a soul.
In order to prevent the fish and shrimp from continuing to nibble, she stretched out her hands to cover her body with mud. But she knew that as soon as she moved, the mud at the bottom of the river began to cover it automatically.
At first, Huo Wanniang was still a little uncomfortable and gradually realized that this was the ability of the ghost.
Huo Wanniang was shocked and scared in the first few days, not knowing what to do. Soon she found that she seemed to be in captivity and could only swim within a few miles centered on her body.
Looking back on all the things that happened in the world, Huo Wanniang certainly felt resentment in her heart. She hated herself for being blind and actually treated a person with a cold temperament as a support.
Fearing to frighten the fishermen, she did not dare to show herself on the river during the day. She could only wait for the river to rise up when it was late at night, crying and venting.
I never thought that not long after I had surfaced tonight, I suddenly felt a chill in my heart, as if something was leading me to here.
"Huo Wanniang, I have been waiting for you for a long time. Since you have drowned, you should destroy your soul and return to the underworld. Why should you stay here and harm others?" Seeing the water ghost appear, Taoist Ziyang shouted loudly and said, "
"I didn't harm anyone," Huo Wanniang argued urgently.
"Without harming others, how could Sun Fu and Li Shunchang get seriously ill? Let me save you today..." Taoist Ziyang didn't listen to what she said. He pointed to a peach wood sword in his hand, and in an instant, the black clouds were densely covered with lightning flashing above the ship.
Huo Wanniang instinctively felt danger, and her soul sank and disappeared from the river.
But I knew that the lightning seemed to have eyes, staring at her position, crackling and moving in all directions, gathering several lights, falling towards the place where she was hiding.
In desperation, Huo Wanniang hurriedly dodged again and retreated two or three meters away.
A lightning fell to the water surface, and several small fish were burnt to pieces. Huo Wanniang felt that it seemed as if someone was stabbed into the depths of her soul with a steel needle, which was extremely painful.
Although she is already in the realm of immortality, she does not know how to practice, so she can only be beaten passively, without any means.
But the black cloud on the river locked her tightly like a living thing. No matter where she appeared, she could always be found and beaten down from the air.
If you want to hide at the bottom of the river, you only feel that your soul is tied up by a rope and you cannot dive deep.
Crack, rumbling, countless lightnings gathered, constantly slashing lightning. Soon, hundreds of fish and shrimps turned over on the river.
Seeing this scene, the few people hiding in the cabin became bolder and walked out one by one, praising him: "The Taoist priest is really a god."
Huo Wanniang's soul kept dodging, but when she made a mistake, she was accidentally hit by thunder and dissipated into black fog, and then condensed on the river surface and said miserably: "Master, I have not harmed human life after becoming a ghost. Why did the Taoist priest insist on killing everyone?"
"Evil ghosts are not tolerated in the world. Since I have encountered them, I will naturally save you." Taoist Ziyang made a fuss. The peach wood sword in his hand kept flashing, and his other hand kept pinching the seal technique, intending to take down the water demon in one go.
"Hmph" Hearing this, A Bi could no longer hold it back, and suddenly sacrificed the pearl in her hand. A green light flashed by, and before the Taoist priest on the ship could react, he was knocked off the bow of the ship and his soul was scattered.
Abi is only one line away from entering the realm of the True Immortals, and with the Hunyuan Pearl Magical Treasure in his hand, it is naturally easy for a cultivator who wants to get rid of a human immortal realm.
"Ah? Master?" The remaining Taoist priests on the ship were watching the master jumping around in front of the divine case, showing great power to eliminate demons, but the next second, his body fell to the ground.
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
After a while, a bold apprentice came up to him and shouted: "Master..."
Seeing that the master changed color as usual, his body did not suffer any trauma.
"Master?" He shouted twice without responding. The apprentice subconsciously reached out to the nostril of the Ziyang Taoist, and then shouted in horror: "Master, the master is dead."
He shouted loudly, awakening the remaining Taoists and hurriedly surrounded him.
As expected, Zi Yang's body was slowly hardening... It was so strange that it died
"Hurry, drive the boat back quickly, the water ghosts are doing something to harm people." As everyone shouted, several sailors hurriedly rowed the big boat and left the middle of the river.
