The warships of the Xiangjiang Navy are still very fast, at least much faster than they are on foot.Old General Qin and Long Seventeen were guarding Xiao Kaishan in the cabin, Cai Qing was lazy and resting, and Gu Cheng was standing at the bow of the boat, looking at the waterway of the Xiangjiang River.At this time, the outside world is on the verge of dusk, the remnant sun is like blood, and the entire Xiangshui is a blood-red color.However, at this time, Gu Cheng found that the speed of the ship suddenly slowed down.Gu Cheng beckoned an old sailor who was in charge of the helm and asked, "This master has been working in the Xiangjiang Navy for many years?"
”The old sailor looked more than fifty years old, and hurriedly said when he heard the words: "Little Zhao Jia, don't you dare to be an adult and shout master."
The little one's father is the shipbuilding master of the Xiangjiang Naval Army, so the little one has been on the ship since he was born, and it has been forty-three years ago. ”Gu Cheng looked like he was in his fifties, but he was actually only in his forties, and he should have worked hard all year round, so he looked older."
Master Zhao, why did our speed suddenly slow down?"
Zhao Jia hurriedly said: "Because the front is the Nantong Canal, generally speaking, if there is no emergency, we rarely pass through the Nantong Canal at night, even if we go at night, we must slow down the speed of the boat to avoid any accidents." ”"Oh?
Could there be any water thieves and bandits on this Nantong canal?
”Zhao Jia smiled bitterly: "If it's okay if it's a water thief and bandit, the key is some evil things that can't be seen."
Have you ever heard of staking a stake?
”Gu Cheng shook his head and said, "What does that mean?"
”Zhao Jia said: "Driving a living pile is also called a living sacrifice, generally building a bridge and opening a canal, the living person must be thrown down to sacrifice to the ghosts and gods.This Xiangshui seems to be calm, but who knows how many unjust ghosts have been buried in it?
Therefore, it is necessary to drive a stake, throw down the living people, and sacrifice to the ghosts and gods at the bottom of the river, so that the bridge and canal can be built and opened safely.Otherwise, even if the bridge is completed, it will not take long for it to collapse, and more people will die by then. ”Gu Cheng frowned and said, "It's ridiculous!
Demons and demons still want to go to sacrifice?
If you dare to make trouble and suppress it directly, how can you still use living people to sacrifice these evil things?
”Zhao Jia smiled bitterly: "Although the words are like this, but Xiangshui is too big, even if those Taoist masters of the Zhengyi faction come, they can't suppress the ghosts of the entire Xiangshui."
Anyway, it's a tradition left by the elders, and we have always abided by it, but there was no problem, but there was a mistake on the Nantong Canal.It is said that the person in charge of the excavation of the Nantong Canal also sacrificed to the ghosts and gods according to the tradition of driving the stakes, but on the first day of construction, the dead were killed, and the evil nature was very evil.Later, it was sacrificed alive again, this time it was the highest standard boy and girl in the stake, but it was not good.In the end, I heard that it was the lord of the country who dug the Nantong Canal at that time invited a master of Taoism, and the other party said that the ghosts and gods of Xiangshui were in Xiangshui, and the ghosts and gods of Chuyuanjiang were in Chuyuanjiang. ”Gu Cheng was puzzled: "Oh, then what method was used to solve it in the end?"
”Zhao Jia shook his head and said: "I don't know, the specific method has not been handed down, but legend has it that after the Nantong Canal was successfully dug, the water on the entire river surface was blood-red, and the country that controlled the southwest that year obviously did not have a war, but the population was sharply reduced." ”Gu Cheng raised his eyebrows, he was sure that the guy who came up with the idea was definitely not a serious master.Although there are some unreliable fellows among serious Dao cultivators, these people still have to be famous, and they will definitely not be able to do such things.Zhao Jia sighed and said: "After the Nantong Canal is opened, strange things continue to happen, and there is no time for peace, especially at night.Some people once saw a boat that had already sunk wandering in the Nantong Canal, and there were also pedestrian boats walking through the Nantong Canal, only to find that there was an extra person on board.Our Xiangjiang Navy rarely walks the Nantong Canal at night, but every time we go, the generals will be extremely cautious and ask some Taoist priests to make many talismans and paste them on the boat. ”Gu Cheng nodded lightly, he didn't expect that such a seemingly calm Nantong Canal would have so many evil and dangerous things.In fact, sometimes it is not only the hell that is dangerous, but the calmer the place, the more likely it is to contain unexpected dangers.At this moment, Gu Cheng suddenly looked at the boat and said in surprise: "Are there a lot of jellyfish on this Nantong Canal?"
”Zhao Jia was puzzled: "The Nantong Canal connects Xiangshui and Chuyuan River, how can there be such a thing as a jellyfish?"
”As he spoke, Zhao Jia looked downward, only to see a large black thing floating around the boat, but the river was muddy, and the night was hazy but it was a little unclear, but its shape seemed to be really a huge jellyfish."
Strange?
What the hell is this?
”Zhao Jia's face was puzzled, and he leaned forward a little more.However, at this moment, Gu Cheng pulled Zhao Jia back suddenly, and at the same time, his right hand was like a sword, and a sword gang had already swung down!
At the moment when Gu Cheng took out his sword, the black jellyfish had already surfaced.But where is the jellyfish, but the large strands of hair soaked in the river water, giving people the feeling of jellyfish.And underneath the hair was a swollen corpse with foaming hair, staring at them with a miserable white slam!"
Water ghosts!
Kelpie!
”Zhao Jia shouted in horror, and the water ghost was poked by Gu Cheng's sword qi."
Old General!
There is a case!
”Gu Cheng shouted, and everyone came out to check the situation.I saw that the entire ship was surrounded by those water ghosts, and the hideous carrion corpses were floating on the surface of the sea, and the water was like hell.Zhao Jia had already sat on the ground in fright.Although he has rich experience in boating, he has never seen such a terrifying scene, I'm afraid that the water ghosts under the Nantong Canal have run out, right?
What is it about their ship that can attract so many water ghosts?
Qin Ming said with a gloomy expression: "There is trouble." ”Cai Qing also gritted his teeth and said, "Can't these damn guys wait a while to do it?"
It's not a moment of relaxation!
”At this time, there was a vision on the surrounding water, and the water surface that had been flowing down the river suddenly changed, as if everything had froze.A ship rose from the surface of the water and set off a large wave of waves, and it turned out to be a large ship made entirely of white bones!
The white hull of the ship was surrounded by beams, like ribs, and in the bow was a huge skeleton with a bone spur horn.At the bow of the ship stood a middle-aged man with a pale complexion, dressed in a very strange robe, half black, half white."'
Water Demon' Meng Tao!"
Cai Qing's face was a little ugly: "This person is also one of the rebels in the southwest, but compared with Xiao Kaishan, he did not directly raise the anti-flag, although his behavior is no different from rebellion."
Meng Tao is said to have been born as a water thief and bandit in his early years, and was sunk in the river because of the gang infighting, but he didn't know what he encountered at the bottom of the river, and a year later, he who was already dead actually reappeared, mastering a terrifying magical magic spell, and tortured the people who had killed him before killing them until life was worse than death.Over the years, Meng Tao built his battleship 'Styx' with the bones of the dead in Xiangshui, and led a group of half-human, half-demon evil water bandits under his command to run rampant on Xiangshui, and even the Xiangjiang army had to retreat.The most important thing is the strength of this guy, he is not a martial artist or a qi refiner, but he is invincible among the grandmasters with a terrifying demonic power, infinitely close to the four-grade realm!
”At this moment, Gu Cheng and the others looked solemn.Infinitely close to the fourth grade, that is the realm of Qin Ming at the peak of the past.The question is that now that Qin Ming's qi and blood are decaying and decaying, can he still stop the current Meng Tao?
And at this time, two more people came out behind Meng Tao, one was wearing strange blue bone armor, with barbs on his elbow joints, and his face was extremely hideous, ugly and almost not like a living person, and he was also holding a huge trident in his hand, which was two people tall.The other is a woman, dressed in a fish-scale armor like a tight leather coat, shimmering with a colorful and seductive luster, which sets off her bumpy body, and her appearance is also charming and sultry, but it gives people an extremely dangerous feeling.This beautiful and ugly two people stood up, and suddenly gave people a strong impact."
It's 'Tanhai Yaksha' Xue Ba and 'Poisonous Shark Man' Mei Sanniang!
These two people are both generals under Meng Tao, practicing all kinds of demonic powers, and they can even be said to be half of Meng Tao's personal disciples, and their strength is comparable to that of a grandmaster!
”In fact, it is not terrible to meet Meng Tao on land, even if the other party is the strength of half a step and four grades, they also have the strength to fight.But right now, it's on the water, and the other party is still in control of the evil warship Styx, and its power is even more powerful, how can they fight?
Qin Ming took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "Meng Tao, you have dominated Xiangshui for so many years, but you have never touched the Xiangjiang Water Army once, and you have never openly raised the anti-flag, which proves that you still have some self-knowledge."
But do you know what Xiao Kaishan means to the imperial court?
The imperial court did not hesitate to send us to escort Xiao Kaishan in person, which is enough to prove that the imperial court attaches great importance to this matter.At this time, if you dare to rob Xiao Kaishan, it will be no different from openly rebelling against the imperial court!
The Xiangjiang Naval Army is not your opponent, so what about the Chuyuan River Naval Division?

Or even the East China Sea Division?
Meng Tao, you water demon has reached the sea, but you don't know if you still have that strength!
”That Meng Tao laughed loudly, and his voice was low and hoarse: "Old General Qin, when your old man was in charge of the Tianhuo Army in the past, he was as fierce as fire, claiming to never compromise, and any traitors and bandits have no room for compromise under you, either surrender or be killed until they surrender."
Now how can you be overwhelming?
I'm afraid this confidence is not so sufficient, right?
Xiao Kaishan's life is the life of the thief, your life is also the life, is it worth it to pay your life for a thief?
