Although the helmsman on the ship tried his best to control the direction of the ship, he could not make the ship rotate in place, and could only go farther and farther along the waves. The dark yellow waves that rose on the sea surface behind the ship were quickly dissolved in the sea water and disappeared without a trace.
Hai Gouzi slammed the side of the boat fiercely: "Damn it, it still doesn't work! Whose turn is it to go into the water?"
At this time, the old man who looked like a tomb robber stood up, pointed at me and said, "Since this gentleman has Xuanbing Zhenqi to protect his body, I think it is better not to bother the two masters and let him go down again."
I looked at him coldly: "Do you think I'm a hero?"
The tomb robber smiled and said, "It's good to have some chivalrous spirit when traveling in the world. Besides..."
Before the other party finished speaking, the Rakshasa in my hand suddenly came out of its sheath and stabbed at him at lightning speed. The latter obviously did not expect me to suddenly attack, and his face was shocked. He had no time to change his position, and I stabbed him through the shoulder blade. The blood-stained Rakshasa instantly appeared from his back for more than a foot, and I also took a step closer to him.
Although my sword attack did not kill the opponent, my right hand holding the hilt had been gathering strength. As long as I wanted, I could let Luosha slash along his shoulder to his lower abdomen and split him in half.
I looked coldly at the pale-faced grave robber and said, "In my opinion, heroes are no different from idiots. You'd better not treat me as a fool."
The tomb robber said in a trembling voice: "Mr. Gu...Mr. Gu..."
Gu Piaoran, who had been watching coldly, said, "Mr. Wu, please give me some face this time and let him go, how about that?"
"I'll give you face!" I said as I fiercely pulled out my long sword. The tomb robber, who lost the support of his long sword, fell to the ground. His two companions rushed up from the left and right to apply medicine on his wounds.
Gu Piaoran waited until they had bandaged their wounds before he said coldly, "Who should go down now?"
The grave robber struggled and said, "Mr. Gu, if I'm not mistaken, everyone here is probably an indispensable role, right? If my people die underwater, it will definitely affect your opening of the secret burial. Wouldn't our trip be in vain?"
Gu Piaoran said in a deep voice: "You all do have your own strengths, but in front of the life and death lottery, there is no distinction between the important and the unimportant. According to the rules of the art, you either find someone to join you, or you fight to the death."
According to the rules of the art of magic, if someone draws a death lot but is afraid of death and refuses to leave, then he is doomed.
As the tomb robber's face changed drastically, his companion stood up and said, "Uncle, don't say anything. I'll go if I want. It's not like I haven't seen a dead person before."
Only then did I understand why the tomb robber kept urging me to go down. It turned out that the next person to go into the water was his nephew.
The grave robber raised his head and cursed: "You are so capable! You..."
Before the tomb robber could finish his words, the sound of a gun bolt being pulled was heard in the cabin. It was Gu Piaoran's men who were about to take action.
The grave robber was like a deflated ball, and said dejectedly: "Go down! Take the gourd of medicine in my backpack. The corpse-dissolving water is of little use in the water."
The young man took out a gourd from the grave robber's bag and put it on his body. He dived into the water and floated up soon. He waved his hands desperately and said, "Quick, pull me up!"
The grave robber quickly threw down a rope and pulled his nephew up. Not long after the man boarded the boat, the sea started to stir up waves like a school of fish leaping into the water. The big boat held by the dead man suddenly floated to the surface of the sea. We were caught off guard and almost fell to the ground.
Before I could stand up straight after stumbling, a large number of sailors rushed to the side of the ship with hunting rifles: "The dead body is floating up, shoot quickly, quickly..."
"Bang, bang"... After a few gunshots, I also rushed to the side of the boat. From where I was, I saw floating corpses everywhere. The corpses were like fish that had been poisoned, floating on the water with their stomachs turned upside down and motionless.
The ghost ships that were originally attached to the hull also began to slowly break away and drift away. The ghost ships had just drifted a short distance when they collapsed one by one, either breaking into pieces of wood floating on the water or sinking to the bottom of the sea.
According to the saying on the water, the ghost ship and the water ghost are one and the same. When the ghost is gone, the ghost ship will naturally fall apart and turn into pieces.
As I was looking down at the sea, I heard a roar from afar: "You bastard! Why didn't you take out the medicine earlier?"
When I turned around, I saw one of Boss Xu's men striding towards the tomb robber and reaching out to grab his collar. After the latter dodged two steps to the side, his two companions pounced on him together and knocked the man to the ground with three punches and two kicks.
The grave robber pointed at the other man and shouted, "Kill him!"
The tomb robber's nephew drew out his knife and was about to kill the man, but the sea hook next to him blocked the knife. The sea hook asked coldly, "I also want to ask, why didn't you take out the medicine earlier?"
The grave robber's skills were probably the same as that of the sea hook, and he was not afraid of him: "What if I don't take it out? It's a secret medicine handed down from my ancestors. It will be used up as it is. Who are they? Why should they ask me to take out the secret medicine?"
The man who was knocked to the ground cried and asked Gu Piaoran for help: "Mr. Gu, you have to help me! My master died so tragically..."
According to the rules of the art of martial arts, disputes in the art of martial arts can be arbitrated by the person with the highest status present, but the prerequisite is that both parties must recognize the arbitrator. It is reasonable for that person to ask Gu Piaoran for help.
Gu Piaoran shook his head slightly and said, "I can't help you with this matter. There is no rule in the art of magic that requires people to take out secret medicine."
The man couldn't help but burst into tears after hearing this. Hai Gouzi said coldly: "Cry your ass off, stand up and follow me from now on! We are drowning people, how can we be afraid of these diggers!"
The grave robber sneered: "Whether you are afraid or not, we will tell you later!"
Hai Gouzi seemed not to want to have any verbal argument with him. He snorted coldly and walked towards the side of the cabin with his men.
Gu Piaoran put his hands behind his back and ordered, "Bring up the propeller and fix it. We'll continue our journey after daybreak."
At this time, most people had returned to the cabin, but I walked towards Gu Piaoran who was standing on the deck and asked, "You are the one who caused the death under the boat, right?"
Gu Piaoran smiled and said, "What do you mean?"
I said in a deep voice: "Ghost ships are things in rivers. Even if they can drift into the sea, there won't be so many of them, and they have drifted so far away from the coast. Of course, you can also say that it is the result of accumulation over time."
Gu Piaoran smiled and said, "What if I really said that?"
I stared at Gu Piaoran and said, "If those are really dead bodies accumulated over the years, there won't be many, just one or two would be enough to overturn the boat. Instead of overturning the boat, they used the dumbest method and held on to the boat and let it sink. Don't you think they are more like scaring people?"
Gu Piaoran smiled and said, "If you go to Yaomen, you can also become an outstanding disciple. Yes, this drama was indeed created by me."
Gu Piaoran's face darkened and he said, "There are people from Xuan Jingsi among my rice grains."
I was slightly stunned. Gu Piaoran said quickly: "Dongtian should have told you that I never kill rice grains, right? When I was in Miaojiang, I sent all the rice grains to hell. At that time, I found that there were spies from the Xuanjing Division around me. I couldn't tell who was the traitor, so I had to send them all away."
I couldn't help but frown. If I think about it carefully, Lin Jingyuan did come at the right time. At that time, I always thought that it was Sun Xiaomei who tipped her off. Now it seems that there is a high probability that something went wrong with Gu Piaoran.
Gu Piaoran spoke in a low voice and was facing the sea. It was impossible for anyone to hear our conversation except the two of us, and no one could see Gu Piaoran's mouth shape or read his lips. From this point of view, he really seemed to be on guard against someone.
Gu Piaoran said: "When I went out to sea this time, someone sneaked into my team. However, I didn't figure out whether he was hiding among the people I invited or among the people who were driving the boat."
I asked back, "How could a master of Yao Men be deceived?"
"If you often walk by the river, you will get your feet wet." Gu Piaoran said with a wry smile, "You only know that the masters of Rumor Sect are always successful in deceiving the world, but you don't know that more than 90% of the disciples of Rumor Sect died under their deception in the end. This is retribution."
"The retribution of the disciple of Rumor Sect has come. Even the simplest trick can make him fall into the trap like a devil, and finally die. What a tragic end! So, I have to be on guard."
I whispered, "Do you have any idea now?"
Gu Piaoran said: "I only killed one of the spies, the first sailor who jumped into the sea after drawing the life and death lottery. Now it seems that the tomb robber Lao Qiao is definitely not a spy."
I couldn't help but look at Gu Piaoran.
In my opinion, the grave robber, Old Joe, is more like a spy. His actions have torn a crack in our already unstable combination. At least, Hai Gouzi and him can no longer work together sincerely. I think other people will probably feel extremely dissatisfied with him, or even Gu Piaoran.
Gu Piaoran seemed to see through my thoughts: "You don't have to doubt my judgment. The way a liar looks at people is different from the way you look at people. The liar's vision is often more accurate."
Gu Piaoran suddenly said, "In my opinion, Boss Xu is more like a dead spy, and his apprentice Xu Xiaosan is the spy of Xuanjing Division. What do you think?"
I couldn't help but tremble in my heart.
Boss Xu is a man who makes a living on water. Even I could escape from the water, so how could he lose his life as soon as he got into the water? Could it be that he saw through Gu Piaoran's plan and used his own life to protect Xu Xiaosan
Gu Piaoran smiled and patted my shoulder: "Since you have seen through it, then help me pay more attention to others. After all, Xuan Jingsi is also your mortal enemy."
I looked at him and asked, "Why would Xuan Jingsi want to deal with you?" (To be continued)
