"Invulnerable? I'm still invulnerable!"
Simu folded his hands in front of his chest with a look of contempt. If he were alone, he might have believed it.
If you mentioned a person, Simu might think he was some powerful person.
Are you talking about a group of people? And a group of people who have become pirates
He smiled with disdain, practicing Taoism is actually the most profitable!
Once a place appears, there will definitely be people who will pay to hire you, which is part of the remuneration, and occasionally you can earn some small extra money.
What kind of extra income
Evil spirits from many years ago can be liberated and exchanged for good deeds from the underworld. Good deeds are a panacea and are extremely useful, but they are generally not exchanged for money.
The ghosts who are best at making extra money are those who have died recently, because most of them have their own little coffers.
What about the hidden private money, the burial antiques, the Yuan Datou coins, the small yellow croakers, hehe, you, a ghost, what do you want these things for
Here you go!
Simu was very proud of himself. Compared with them, the cultivators, those tomb robbers were simply low-class people.
If you still want to go in, he can just stretch out his little hand and let the ghost take out the treasure by itself. How convenient!
But to be honest, since there is a rumor that he is invulnerable to swords and guns, it means that there must be a master behind the pirate.
I just don't know how high it is
Simu smiled and rubbed his hands together, hoping that the guy had a treasure. His request was not high, just something like the painting he had a few days ago would be fine.
Last time, Russell and Uncle Jiu came too quickly, and he didn’t have time to hug the female ghost and take a deep breath. What a pity!
Seriously, it's a bit big!
well!
Simu sighed, and glanced at his junior nephew Russell's disdainful eyes and Li Chengyu's strange expression. He immediately realized something and his old face turned red.
I was careless.
Let them two see how wretched I was just now. Should I kill them to silence them, or should I kill them to silence them
Li Chengyu is fine, but there is a cub who can’t be defeated even if the ancestor is invited!
Simu suddenly had an idea and quickly changed the subject, "Little Russell, what are you going to do? Are you going to just force your way through this large ship of people?"
This is a sharp issue. Although the two of them are geomancers, they are facing water bandits after all, and there are masters behind them who are unknown how powerful they are. It would be bad if someone died.
He changed the subject very well, and Russell fell into deep thought. As Lu Xun said, you should find out the enemy's cards before fighting.
What if the expert opposite is a top master, some level of geomancer
What if the other side has a large number of people and they are all a bunch of old bastards preparing to ambush
When traveling in the world, it is better to be cautious!
Russell touched his chin, and in the expectant eyes of Li Chengyu, he slowly uttered four words, "Borrowing Arrows with Straw Boats!"
Simu and Li Chengyu looked at each other, they knew the story of Borrowing Arrows from the Straw Boat, and they also knew these four words, but what did they have to do with this matter
Russell chuckled. Soon, these two people knew what it meant to borrow arrows from a straw boat.
Li Chengyu asked someone to communicate on the boat language with the boat that was also moored nearby waiting for the rain to stop, and moved all the people on the boat over.
Only a few people were left to drive the boat forward. Russell took out a large piece of paper people from his arms and blew gently, and the originally empty cabin became crowded again.
It’s really a boat full of people!
Simu had already vaguely guessed Russell's thoughts, "Do you want to wait for those pirates to get on the boat, and then attack them?"
"uncertain!"
Russell said calmly, "The water bandits are not a concern. The main thing is to see if we can trap the one who uses the evil magic."
His thinking was very clear. Who stipulated that cultivators’ fights must be round-based? Must they exchange one move after another
All Russell needs to do is lure them onto the boat, find the one who practices evil magic, launch a surprise attack, and kill him instantly. That's it.
What a precise and perfect battle plan!
Simu remained silent. He touched his nose quietly and remembered the teasing that Uncle Jiu once said to little Russell.
This kid is full of bad intentions!
No matter how much he complained, Simu hesitated for only a second before expressing his attitude, firmly agreeing with this approach.
If the person with bad intentions is the enemy, he will definitely despise such improper behavior!
What if the person with bad intentions is on his side
Well done!
The big ship sailed forward. The rain was still pouring down outside. The moonlight was dim, and it looked particularly lonely on the broad Yangtze River.
As the boat sailed farther and farther away, the river remained exceptionally calm, without any sound of fighting or killing.
Russell looked out the window. It was pitch dark. He used his magic eyes to see nothing but couldn't see any luck.
Whether it is night or day, luck is something that cannot be hidden. Even in the dark, it is still very conspicuous.
Even if most of the pirates didn't come, there should be some people on guard or fishermen fishing.
But there is not one!
Russell frowned, realizing the seriousness of the situation. He turned his head and looked at Simu, "Uncle Master, something seems to have gone wrong. There is no one on the river or on both sides."
This strange situation surprised even Simu. Could it be that these pirates went to the banquet and even stopped working
He also came to the window, looked at the dark river surface, his brows furrowed, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Isn't this just perfect? While these pirates are away, we can sneak over there and save ourselves a lot of trouble!"
Simu, who often drives corpses outside, knows one thing very well: if you want to live longer, you should not meddle in other people's business.
The more things you take care of, the more trouble you will get into. If you are capable, it's fine. If you are not capable, you will simply be asking for death!
Simu has seen many people who are trying to get ahead and meddle in other people's affairs. Now the grass on the grave is as lush and green as someone's hair.
"Um."
Russell responded softly, but his eyes looked towards the horizon. Wherever he was not paying attention, a paper man kept getting smaller and turned into a bird.
It flapped its wings twice, disappeared silently in the rain, and flew away into the distance.
This paper is waterproof. It can protect against real rainwater, not some improper water. Russell's paper-made wife would never use this kind of paper!
He looked at the birds disappearing in the rain, his hands quietly behind his back, praying in his heart for chaos.
I hope something happens!
Only when something happens can Russell continue to harvest energy points. He is not a good person!
…
The boat sailed back again, and it took several hours to go back and forth. It was evening when we left, and it was already late at night when we came back.
Many people had already started to fall asleep but were woken up. They originally had anger on their faces. After all, they were sleeping soundly, and being woken up would make anyone uncomfortable.
As soon as they heard that the bandits ahead were gone, they immediately smiled again and hurriedly ran back to their boats, ready to set off.
The pirates are not here, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
As for the anger just now
Hey, it’s just overtime, it’s normal, no big deal.
Everyone was busy preparing, and old butler Li was counting the number of people. He was in charge of everything.
As he counted, he couldn't help but frown, because it seemed that there was one person missing on the boat!
One is called Yuan Hua.
Old housekeeper Li cursed in his heart, "Lazy cows and horses, they shit and piss a lot, where did they run away when faced with such a critical moment?"
He couldn't help but feel a little anxious. This person named Yuan Hua might be sleeping somewhere. Where could he find him
Would he let everyone on the boat risk their lives to wait for him? Who knows when those pirates will come back.
Butler Li gritted his teeth and decided to wait a little longer. If he couldn't wait, that would be his life!
He looked at the boat opposite silently, and a small figure appeared behind him, "No need to wait, just start the boat."
The person who spoke was indeed Russell. Butler Li was shocked. This man was a little god. He looked at Russell's expressionless face and seemed to have thought of something.
Although he was guessing in his heart, there was no expression on his face.
Then, Butler Li turned around and shouted loudly, "Sail!"
This time, he shouted particularly loudly, but he didn't see anyone moving on the opposite boat out of the corner of his eye.
Old Butler Li narrowed his eyes, and the boat gradually moved away, getting farther and farther away from the opposite boat, but Yuan Hua still did not come out.
this…
He was startled, and then asked in a low voice, "Young Taoist priest, should we replace all the sailors on this ship at the next stop to prevent anyone from leaking the news?"
Old housekeeper Li's eyes flashed with brilliance. He thought that the man named Yuan Hua had offended Russell and was quietly eliminated by him.
Between a sailor and a mysterious Taoist priest, Butler Li chose the latter without hesitation, and even cared enough to help Russell deal with his funeral.
Russell looked at him deeply and couldn't help but feel a little emotional in his heart. Such an old butler is really good.
At least he is not an ungrateful person who can never be tamed. He is the real housekeeper who always considers his master.
He waved his hand and walked forward without turning his head. "That person committed a crime and has already escaped. Don't worry too much about him. I'm sleepy and I'm going to sleep first."
"Little Taoist priest, would you like some hot water?"
Faced with Russell's words, Butler Li did not say whether he believed it or not, because it was not his business.
"No, thank you!"
“This is what I should do.”
Russell quietly returned to his room. Li Chengyu and Simu were still quietly guarding at the bow, just in case.
Once anything unexpected happens, such as bandits blocking the road or water ghosts destroying the boat, they can react immediately.
As long as we pass here, everything will be fine!
Russell sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and focused his mind on the paper figure in the distance, or to be more precise, the paper bird.
The bird flew farther and farther, across the Yangtze River and came to the riverside. The rugged path was covered with dense footprints, horse hoof prints and wheel prints.
After the rain, the path was full of mud and it was difficult to walk on.
But this is none of Russell's business, after all he is a bird now.
After becoming a geomancer, Russell's soul underwent a qualitative leap, and with the nourishment of his magic power and energy points, he has become very powerful.
He flapped his wings, flew through the rain, and passed through one mountain forest after another, his flying speed becoming slower and slower.
It wasn’t because of Russell, but because a strange white mist appeared in front of him, covering the air.
Even after the rain, the white fog was still very thick and did not disperse.
Russell was a little surprised. He spread his wings and circled the white mist twice, and found that there were many bats circling around.
Originally, the darlings of the night seemed extremely flustered and dizzy, and two of them even bumped into each other.
It's incredible!
Russell opened his mouth and spread his wings. Golden light emanated from his whole body. He flew towards the fog and easily entered it.
In the fog, one can vaguely see a village. Every household has its doors locked. There is not a single chicken or dog, and no acre of farmland. Instead, one can see piles of goods.
Russell was a little surprised, and then he suddenly realized that he had heard that during the slack season in some villages, groups of people would come out to rob houses.
He is an honest man during the day, but a robber at night.
Water bandits are not necessarily from water strongholds, but those hiding in the villages are the most terrifying!
Russell landed on the ground silently and turned into a black cat, strolling on the empty path.
Apart from being eerily quiet, the village has nice scenery, a wide view, mountains, water, and small mud houses with rural characteristics.
He lay on the ground, sniffing the smell, climbing up and down the walls, and quickly headed towards the center of the village.
Russell could faintly smell the scent of blood. He already had a guess in his mind and ran silently across the roof.
Soon, he came to a very big house. How big was it
At least Russell had never seen one. Only the cathedral in his previous life's school could barely compare to it.
Things are getting more and more weird, the disappearing bandits, the strange white fog, the quiet little village, the faint smell of blood, and the big house located in the little village!
Russell deliberately lowered his voice to prevent any accidents.
Although the big house is tall and big, and its construction is a bit weird, but when building a house, you always have the necessary things. No matter how weird it is, it cannot deviate from the basic framework.
Russell took advantage of the air, stepped on his left foot and then his right foot, and quietly arrived on the roof of the big house.
People of this era were not as particular as people of later generations. They did not build houses with suspended ceilings, and there was basically a long horizontal beam under the roof.
That is the support pillar of the roof, usually a big and tall tree. How big is it
There is a term called "Gentleman on the Beam". When a person is stealing something and the owner comes back, he hides on the beam so that people below cannot see him!
Russell acted as a thief today. He gently pushed a tile upwards with his claws, and his body kept shrinking, squeezing in like water.
With a flip, he landed steadily on the beam.
At this time, the big house was brightly lit. Russell quietly looked inside and found that the big house was full of people kneeling.
If we count carefully, there are probably at least hundreds of people!
Russell narrowed his eyes and found that these people were kneeling towards the front. Looking up, he saw a statue.
The statue was of an old man, and it was indescribably strange.
As Russell was observing carefully, rain water seeped out from the cracks in the tiles he had just entered and dripped down.
It just happened to drip onto someone's head, and the sudden coldness scared the kneeling person.
"Um?"
A strange voice came, "You actually got in here, how interesting!"
Russell remained motionless and steady as an old dog. He didn't feel that he was exposed.
Instead, he seemed to have ruined other people's plans.
Sure enough, the people kneeling below turned their heads in unison, their faces expressionless and their eyes dull as they stared behind them.
The few people who were kneeling in the last row jumped up, took out knives from somewhere, and looked at everyone with serious eyes.
One of them held a knife and glared at the statue, gritting his teeth and saying, "Huang Qiwen, you old man, you are crazy!"
The people behind him were already glaring at him.
The forbidden strange statue actually laughed and made a creepy sound, "Ho ho ho, if a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. Boss, I just want to live a few more years!"
"Why, why? We have been friends for so many years, but you are not willing to help me at all!"
The person on the other side was so angry that he laughed, "You, you, you are so shameless. You use evil magic to suck our blood for immortality, and you blame us for not cooperating?"
This is the first time I have seen such a shameless person, even if he has been doing evil all his life!
“It’s your honor!”
The statue raised its head and roared, "I don't want to die, then only you will die!"
With a roar, a strange wave spread out, and the people kneeling on the ground stood up in unison, their eyes were dull, but their faces were extremely ferocious.
Most of these people were young and strong men; the elderly, children, and women were all invisible.
There was something strange printed on the chest, which looked like a red talisman!
Russell, the culprit who caused everything, did not feel the slightest bit of guilt. Instead, he looked at the talisman with great interest.
He always felt that the talisman looked very familiar, and the scene in front of him also looked very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
"superior!"
The people on the opposite side did not intend to sit and wait for death. They picked up their weapons and rushed forward, wielding swords and sabers with great force.
The statue above let out a strange laugh, as if it had already secured victory.
Sure enough, there was a sound of metal collision, and those people changed color. It turned out that the swords in their hands did not cause any harm to these people.
Instead, it felt like it was chopping on an iron plate.
this…
One person's face changed drastically, "You actually used evil magic, you... you... you have such a cruel heart!"
He also knows this evil magic. Since they are from the same sect, he naturally knows the details.
The reason why sorcery is called sorcery is that once the spell is used, one can be invulnerable to swords and guns for a short period of time, but it will overdraw one's vitality.
Generally, people who use it will not survive more than three days and will turn into a mummy.
And there are hundreds of people in front of him!
The man roared angrily, turned around and pushed a woman next to him, "Third sister, hurry up and leave, leave!"
As he spoke, he pushed forward, knocking over the person chasing him. Several people also rushed forward and soon disappeared in the crowd.
The woman gritted her teeth, rushed out of the door quickly, disappeared in the rain, and escaped without a trace.
Russell turned his head thoughtfully, with the corner of his mouth rising. He said, "Why does he look so familiar? It turns out he is an old acquaintance from the future!"
ps: 5100 words today, someone asked me to play King of Glory, well, I have a sister, I will add one more chapter tomorrow.
