Please calm down your anger

Chapter 383 Flying through the dead man's creek at night

In the wind and snow, the beautiful woman greeted with a smile.

Looking at that beautiful appearance, Wang Xuan was inexplicably emotional, "The world is changing too fast, and Wang is just following the trend."

A glimpse of the Crane Dance Tower, the wilderness joined hands to slay the demons, Chen Xianyu has only been in seclusion for two years, but he has experienced countless.

Thinking of this, Wang Xuan slightly raised his hand, "Ms. Chen is here to invite you, Wang happens to have good tea, please taste it."

After the two entered the room, Wang Xuan warmed the pot and made tea, and the set of movements flowed smoothly.

"Listen to Yuxuan's falling star technique..."

Looking at Wang Xuan's technique, Chen Xianyu smiled meaningfully, "I heard that Yuxuan is the champion in Shendu Tea House, Miss Mo is one of the rare people who can get his charm, it seems that Brother Wang is living a good life."

Wang Xuan laughed aloud, "Oh, there's also this particularity, Wang learned it blindly, Miss Chen laughed at me, please."

With the injection of boiling water, the tea leaves roll and stretch, and the white mist rises up, forming a vague lotus shape, which condenses but does not disperse.

Chen Xianyu's eyes lit up, he picked it up, took a sip carefully, and praised softly: "It's fresh and timeless, with a sweet aftertaste, Miss Mo must have refined the Hundred Flowers Tea, and she must visit in person someday..."

Wang Xuan smiled slightly, and then his expression became serious, "Miss Chen, why are you here?"

He's not a rookie full of fantasies.

Mo Qingrou is a beautiful lady with a simple mind, and after marrying him, she devoted all her attention to her family.

But Chen Xianyu is a son and daughter of the rivers and lakes. He is used to seeing the sinister human heart. He seeks to practice Taoism and live a long life. He can't wait to come to him as soon as he leaves the customs. If he says he is interesting to him, a fool will believe it.

Sure enough, Chen Xianyu's eyes moved slightly, "I was leaving the customs this time, and I was going to Yunzhou. This time, I made a detour to see Brother Wang, just as a warning."

"The news of the Immortal City Order came out from Wuliang Mountain. The stewards of the Manzhou Prince's Mansion colluded with demons and stole the item and handed it to Nvcha. Now many people have learned that Brother Wang is carrying a treasure."

"Originally, I didn't care about it. Brother Wang will be able to deal with it easily, but these days, there are many more people who have bought information about Yong'an from Jinyange, so I want to remind Brother Wang to be careful."

After hearing this, Wang Xuan shook his head slightly and said, "The Immortal City Token has been taken away by Canghai Zhenjun..."

He knew that the temptation of the Immortal City Order was enough to make many people take risks, but he didn't expect to move so fast.

"Earth Immortal?"

Chen Xianyu couldn't help laughing, "It seems that brother Wang is unlucky, but it's not a bad thing. You are a military strategist, and that thing is a disaster rather than a blessing."

"This is easy to handle. I will spread the news through Jinyan Pavilion, and if they are capable, they will go to Master Canghai."

Wang Xuan nodded and said, "Thank you Miss Chen."

He is sincerely grateful, and the other party has warned thousands of miles away, maybe it is just out of loyalty.

But in this arena, loyalty is really rare.

"It's just a hands-on effort."

Chen Xianyu smiled, then stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Brother Wang, since that's the case, I won't bother you any more, and I will leave."

Wang Xuan was slightly taken aback, "Where is Miss Chen going?"

Chen Xianyu looked to the south and shook his head slightly, "The North-South war is about to start, how can the rivers and lakes be peaceful."

"We have received news that many elite disciples of the Southern Jin Dharma lineage have infiltrated into Dayan. Several states in the south have been secretly fighting with swords and swords. The descendants of the Liyuan Southern School have also arrived. They set up an altar in Zhongshan to sing ghost shows, attracting demons and monsters to riot."

"This is provoking me at Tsing Yi Pavilion. Naturally, we have to meet. Brother Wang must also be careful. If they attempt to assassinate you, you must also be one of the targets."

Wang Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, "Miss Chen...be careful."

Chen Xianyu smiled sweetly, "There will be a time later!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left, and disappeared into the vast snow in white clothes...

Wang Xuan silently put away the tea set, then looked to the south.

The beautiful woman's going here must be the front line of life and death, and he will also go to the treacherous city of God...

……

After Chen Xianyu left, Wang Xuan stayed at Bawangdu for two more days.

Sihaimen's thousand-year intelligence background and turtle monster's spiritual material are enough to make people take risks. Even if Paijiao dispatches elite children to transport, they still need to be escorted by the Yong'an Army.

When Liu Shun personally led the troops, Wang Xuan set off again.

This time, there was no one to stop it, so it was smooth sailing.

Tongzhou's water and land commerce is developed, and the rivers and lakes are mixed with fish and dragons. Naturally, there are many green forest heroes who can't get along and block the road and rob.

But Wang Xuan has a great reputation, and the wind and waves along the way are calm, even the most sinister evil cultivator carefully tucked his tail, and it became the hottest topic among the wells and restaurants in Tongzhou...

……

Southwest of Tongzhou, Dead Man's Stream.

This is the most dangerous section of the Tongzhou Canal. The mountains are closely connected, and the river is meandering.

Why is it called Dead Man's Creek?

Because for thousands of years, in those ditches, culverts, and dammed lakes, countless dead bodies turned into evil spirits and hid, plus water bandits and bandits.

But Dead Man's Creek is also the busiest place for water transportation in Tongzhou, because after passing this dangerous pass, it will be the vast Wolong wilderness.

At this time, the winter solstice has passed, and the merchant ships are obviously scarce. The mountains are covered with snow at night, and there are only sporadic ships moving forward in the mountains.

"Be careful!"

The boat boss gave a low growl and stared at the river.

All around, no matter the platoon disciples, the caravan guards, or the quacks on the boat, all drew out their weapons and stared at the surroundings with cold sweat.

Under the night, the river was pitch black.

"Boss... what was that thing just now?"

A wandering Taoist priest was pale, with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, and the long flag in his hand was broken, looking in a state of embarrassment.

A big man next to him snorted coldly: "Needless to say, some kind of water ghost must have become a climate, and it was unlucky for us to run into it."

The Taoist shook his head and said, "It's definitely not a water ghost!"

Roar!
At this moment, there was the sound of a tiger howling in the river ahead.

The Taoist quickly played out a talisman, and the flames exploded in the air, and everyone on the boat could see it clearly.

It was a beast the size of a bull, with hairless folds and a head like a tiger. It emerged from the river, with a pair of fleshy wings growing behind it, and it was biting a corpse in its mouth.

The boss of the boat had an ugly expression on his face, and said in a trembling voice, "It's Chen Kuangshi, it's over!"

After hearing this, the Taoist priest felt his scalp go numb.

Chen Kuang's dead body Chi Jing, recorded in "Da Yan Sou Shan Tu", is a river spirit monster, rumored to be transformed by a Jiang Zhu who has Taoism after death.

The river pig, also called the finless porpoise, is friendly to people and often rescues those who fall into the water. It even likes to swim with the boat to drive away the evil spirits in the water. It is regarded as a good omen by the beggars on the river.

But it would be troublesome if he turned into Chen Kuangshi Chi Jing, he knew the technique of water escape, he could also fly and sneak attack, his speed was astonishing, and he was extremely bloodthirsty.

What's more frightening is that its roar can attract water ghosts from all directions, and set up a shadow formation to trap ships.

Thinking of this, the Taoist quickly yelled at the man next to him: "Use the blood curse arrow quickly, if you don't kill this thing, none of us will survive today!"

The man knew how powerful it was, and quickly took out a small black wooden sword from his arms, chanted the spell, bit the tip of his tongue, and spurted out several mouthfuls of blood.

The wooden sword is gradually filled with blood,
The man's hair also quickly became gray.

When they went to the capital of gods, they naturally needed means to save their lives. This blood curse sword was vicious, and with his cultivation base, he could only cast it with blood.

The boss of the boat was also shrewd, and immediately ordered the Paijiao disciples to attack and cover, throwing knives, arrows, spells, and poison pills, but they were all dodged by Chen Kuangshi Chijing.

The gust of wind roared, and it flew up with wings flashing.

call out!
A bloody light flew out, hitting the spirit monster.

This incantation blood arrow is very powerful, Chen Kuang Corpse Chi Jing screamed, white mist rose from his body, pieces of rotten flesh fell down, and finally fell into the water, collapsed and sank to the bottom.

However, everyone on board looked desperate.

Under the pitch-black river, corpses appeared at some point, with pale faces, staring at them with pitch-black eyes.

On the river banks on both sides, there are even more shadows. In the billowing black mist, there are pairs of blood-red eyes, and the rustling sound is getting louder and louder.

Everyone on board was completely desperate.

rumbling...

At this moment, the river suddenly trembled violently, and even the merchant ship began to shake from side to side.

"There's something behind!"

A traveling merchant said with a face full of mourning.

Everyone turned their heads when they heard the words, thinking that some horrible evil spirit appeared again, their faces were pale, and they felt remorseful.

Sailing in this season, the journey is difficult, and the harvest is also quite rich, but it is absolutely unreasonable to sail late at night.

The surrounding area was blocked by mist, and it was so dark that it was impossible to see anything clearly, but the movement became louder and louder, scaring everyone to death.

hum!
Suddenly, a white light pierced the darkness.

In an instant, the light shines.

This white awn is just reaching the sun, majestic and upright, whether it is a water ghost, a river demon or a monster, it is like a frightened fish flying around, and if it is a little slower, it will disappear quickly like the remaining snow in summer when it is illuminated by the white light.

Rumbling...the sound of horseshoe armor.

Everyone finally saw clearly that it was nearly a hundred iron cavalry, dressed in black armor, riding on the clouds under the horse's feet, galloping on the river, causing the water to surge.

In the team, a green dragon flag was flying fiercely.

In mid-air, a Kongming lantern was shining brilliantly.

The hundred riders were very fast, passing by the merchant ship in a blink of an eye, and several sergeants rode their horses and flew at them, blasting several river python fish monsters that had no time to escape until their flesh and blood splattered.

In a breath, Baiqi has gone away.

The surroundings became quiet, the mist dissipated completely, and everyone seemed to be in a dream, and they didn't react for a while.

"Is this... the river god's manifestation..."

"Fart river god!"

A Paijiao disciple was full of excitement, "This is the River Patrol under the command of Master Wangxuan of Bingzhou. We are saved. We will follow the government army's warship later. There will be no more dangers in this trip!"

It was only then that the crowd came to their senses. Naturally, there were a lot of discussions about escaping from death.

After a while, several warships sailed and broke through the waves, with the "King" flag on the ships flying.

Behind the warship, there are still many merchant ships, large and small.

The boss of the boat immediately regretted it. He knew that the Bingzhou government army was coming, and he was a few hours late, so how could he encounter such danger.

Before they could ask, some Paijiao disciples on the boat waved the command flag to ask them to get out of the way.

The boss of the boat quickly pulled over, and after the warship passed by, he followed behind, only to find that there were many acquaintances on the bow of the boat, and immediately became angry and cursed, saying that everyone was not loyal.

Inside the cabin of the warship, candles were brightly lit.

"My lord, another merchant ship has been rescued."

After the guard reported, he folded his hands and left the cabin.

Wang Xuan frowned slightly, "Although the Dead Man's Creek is dangerous, it is also an important road leading to Wolong Wilderness. Why is no one clearing it?"

Xiao Zhongmou said thoughtfully: "At the pass ahead, the Paixiu army was originally stationed, and the original marshal was dismissed. Although it didn't cause any trouble, it must have something to do with it."

Wang Xuan understood it as soon as he heard it, and shook his head slightly.

Bingzhou Grassland confronted each other, and the faction of the six princes was the most unlucky. Following the Huanlong family's Zhou family's accident, they were wiped out, and even the Marshal of the Pixiu Army did not escape.

I heard that there has been a lot of movement within the royal family in the past few months. Several princes were investigated for corruption, and the sixth prince even knelt outside the palace for a long time, and then completely lived in seclusion.

That's the way power struggles are, without mercy.

What surprised Wang Xuan was that the prince has always been known for his generosity and generosity, but now his methods have changed drastically, and he seems a little impatient...

Thinking of this, Wang Xuan shook his head slightly, and looked at the piles of information on the table.

The merchants of the Mo family, the old man of the Four Seas Gate, the King of Bingzhou, Jin Yange... Wang Xuan now has many sources of information, so even during the march, news from various places is constantly gathering.

"A master sneaked into Yong'an, and was discovered by Gao Gong, who was sent by the Taiyi Sect to sit in the town. calm down..."

"In the area around the Jiuqu Tianhe, the Southern Jin water armies of the Great Yan confronted each other, and they almost started fighting several times. People from the Jianghu in the Southern Jin Dynasty sneaked in to make trouble, and the Great Yan also had masters crossing the river to assassinate them..."

"Shangguan's family in Tongzhou and aristocratic families in several states in central China met at Ting Yuxuan in Guangde Square, Nancheng, the divine capital. During the meeting, someone poisoned them, causing chaos..."

"The Luo family held a big banquet in Qingmingfang, the capital of the gods, and there were a lot of wealthy merchants. Several chambers of commerce such as Bingzhou were not invited..."

"Earth Emperor's Sect is about to be established. The hermits from all over the world gathered in the capital of the gods. The witch religion also sent people to congratulate them. It seems that they intend to join the Earth Emperor's Sect..."

Looking at the information in his hands, Wang Xuan felt dignified.

If it is said that the land reclamation by the government army in the past two years has only set off a general trend, now the situation is brewing and gathering, and the chaos is gradually becoming apparent.

I don't know what the future holds...

At this moment, a sergeant entered the door and cupped his hands, saying, "My lord, the gate is coming!"

Wang Xuan nodded, and left the cabin with Xiao Zhongmou.

Rumbling... Mo Yunxiao also returned from patrolling the river, and the horse swished up from the river, and then the sergeant led the horse back to the cabin.

Mo Yunxiao stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "My lord, the convenience ahead is the Wolongye Pass, and my subordinates are watching from a distance. The troops stationed here are no longer the Pixiu Army, but the Xiaocai Army."

Xiao cavalry?
Wang Xuan was thoughtful and felt strange.

After leaving the Dead Man's Creek, the river gradually calmed down, and the river channels on both sides were obviously wide. Between the cliffs and cliffs on both sides, there were dense tunnels and ruins.

Xiao Zhongmou sighed: "This place has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. The dark fortress was repaired and repaired again and again. I heard that when Dayan was in power, the Taiyi Sect performed ritual rituals at the altar here for one month. Only then did the evil things on the mountain be cleared and the waterway opened. ..."

Wang Xuan nodded and looked into the distance.

I saw a majestic pass straddling the cliffs on both sides, with a waterway below for boats to navigate, and a stone fort engraved with runes above, and a crossbow bed facing the river.

The sergeants above were all dressed in gold armor, which was the standard armor of the Xiaocai Army. Their faces were cold and murderous, and they sent warships to check the passing ships.

At this moment, the sky is not yet bright, and the torches are blazing in the misty morning mist, and the swords are shining, and the scene is solemn.

As soon as the warship of the Yong'an government army arrived, it immediately attracted a lot of attention, and many people on the merchant ship waiting to pass the customs whispered.

Xiao Zhongmou narrowed his eyes slightly: "My lord, there seems to be something wrong..."
