The years when I opened a coffin shop in the world of Ninth Uncle

Chapter 96 The Strange Fog
early morning.

Longchuan River, known as Huangshui, Xunjiang, and Dongjiang in ancient times, passes through counties and cities in southern Guangdong, from Shiziyang to Humen and into the sea.

The river is surging, the sky is a clear blue, and there is no cloud in the sky. It is a good day for sailing.

As the breeze blows, the surface of the river is covered with white waves, and fish jump out of the water from time to time. The emerald green along the coast is full of vitality.

After walking for half a day, the sun was shining brightly.

Standing on the bow of the boat, Xu Ping looked at the vast water, the blue waves and the waves, and felt very comfortable in his heart.

"Unfortunately, it would be nice if I brought a fishing rod with me, and it can pass the time." He suddenly missed King Pesticide, which kills time really fast on the road.

"Ta Tata..."

Behind him came a man from the cabin. He was obese, and he was the shopkeeper Li who was traveling with him.

Shopkeeper Li's real name is Li Qinghe. Although he is fat, he has a good mind and is familiar with various partners.

"Boss Xu, do we really not need to hire an interpreter? After all, we have to deal with foreigners."

Xu Ping smiled and said, "No, I know foreign language."

At any rate, he has passed CET-[-] and CET-[-], so he must have no problem with daily communication, and he should be able to handle business conversations barely.

"Boss Xu knows foreign language?" He seemed a little surprised. After all, the current foreign language is not yet popular, and he is the shopkeeper of a coffin shop.

Xu Ping was stunned, and found an excuse: "I often study foreign language in bed in the middle of the night."

Li Qinghe didn't know why, learning foreign language in bed, what is learning new skills, "Boss Xu, you really know how to joke."

Xu Ping smiled and didn't answer him.

The boat he was on was originally the cargo ship of the Zhao family. The hull was painted black. It was not a steel giant, but a wooden hull. It could carry about [-] people, and it also had a cargo hold for carrying goods.

There are eight to twelve long oars on the boat, and the sails are used against the wind, and the oars are used against the wind, so the boat is always going down the current, and the speed of the boat is extremely fast.

In addition to the sailor Lifu on board, the shopkeeper Li was accompanying him.

Because of the dead people at the pier, Uncle Jiu still has a few rituals to do, and he has to wait a few days before he can set off.

He set off for the provincial capital before Uncle Jiu, mainly because the new boss took office, and he needed to re-sign the contract with the old partner to find overseas sales.

By the way, look at this smoky world again.

There were several huge boats on the river, and the boat Xu Ping was on seemed a bit stretched compared to them.

Suddenly, I saw the ship on the left suddenly anchored and stopped.

Xu Ping was stunned, what was he doing, and then he saw a person on the deck throw himself into the sea with a plop.

It's not that he committed suicide by throwing himself into the river, with chains still hanging on his body.

And behind him, there are four or five people wearing heavy iron shoes, jumping in a line, which is also a rare thing.

Xu Ping was a little taken aback, turned his head and asked, "What are they doing?"

Li Qinghe took a look, "That's the worker who took the beauty Bao under the sea."

Beauty Bao?Xu Ping asked tentatively: "It sounds like it should be a kind of seafood, I mean abalone?"

Beauty abalone, also known as golden abalone, is plump, juicy, delicious and delicious. It is a rare seafood.

But this kind of abalone grows very deep underwater, and only professionals with excellent water quality can take out a little by wearing a pair of iron shoes on their feet.

After listening to Li Qinghe's introduction, Xu Ping nodded. So that's the case. I thought...

The journey was lonely, so Xu Ping stood on the deck, waiting quietly.

I don't know what the price of this beauty abalone is, maybe I'll get a few to try...

With this in mind, Xu Ping stood on the deck, waiting quietly.

Shopkeeper Li's puffy body couldn't stand the cold wind, so he had already hid in the cabin.

After less than a quarter of an hour, I saw a few human heads emerging from the surface of the river, took a deep breath, and dived again.

Without any protective measures, the human body can dive to a depth of only twenty meters. If it goes deeper, the water pressure will be unbearable.

The depth of the water here should be less than ten meters. The journey was lonely, and Xu Ping analyzed the useless knowledge.

When those workers poked their heads out, they yelled directly at the boat: "Pull!"

The whole process took less than half an hour, and a group of sailors who were a little tired were pulled up by the people on the deck.

Xu Ping watched a few people pour out abalone one by one from the bamboo basket on his waist, and suddenly frowned, looking towards the river.

People, one is missing.

"Where's Mr. Wu?"

Someone on the boat over there also noticed that something was wrong, and there was one person missing.

Everyone was startled and hurriedly turned the millstone on the deck, but when everyone pulled up the iron chain.

I was horrified to see the other end of the iron chain, with ticking drops of water floating in the air...

"Go down and see!"

A person who looked like a captain hurriedly ordered.

The river flows downstream, and the undercurrent is surging under the water. This iron chain is like a safety belt. Once it falls off, it will kill people.

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

There were two people who entered the water just now, before they had time to untie the iron chains around their waists, they jumped directly without saying a word.

This is not to say that there is money for saving people.

It is that today you stand by and watch others, and tomorrow, when you are in disaster, other people will only watch the fun.

"No... Gu Gu... I can't find him."

The people on the boat over there, after getting the news, turned around anxiously and kept shouting warnings.

Li Qinghe in the passenger cabin also ran out in a hurry when he heard the movement. Seeing Xu Ping standing at the bow, he felt a little relieved.

Standing side by side, he hurriedly asked, "Boss Xu, what happened?"

Xu Ping didn't answer, his eyes were fixed, and his pupils were condensed like needles, piercing through the deep river water and reaching the depths.

In an instant.

His face changed.

In the river water, a monster with a black body, horns on its head, and scales on its back dragged a man and swam far away.

Xu Ping was overjoyed, he finally had something to relieve his boredom.

"Pfft!"

In Li Qinghe's horrified eyes, the young boss in front of him jumped directly into the river.

Why can't he think about it?

In an instant, the fat on Li Qinghe's face twitched, as if he remembered something, his face was filled with horror, "Boss Xu, don't do stupid things, and speak up if you have something to say, do you think the points are too small for us?" ..."

At this time, the shopkeeper only had one thought in his mind, if Xu Ping died here, the female devil would have to cut himself alive.

His voice was so loud that the people on the boat over there were a little dazed when they heard it.

Someone jumped into the sea again, what's under the water?
Isn't there only the beauty Bao?

In an instant, a figure broke through the water as if it had been hit hard.

Under the sun, that figure was dripping with water, with a faint blue color shining on his body, and his hands were like ghost claws.

"Sea ghost?!"

All of a sudden there was an uproar.

The monster that appeared in the water fell heavily and set off huge waves.

The people on the two ships stood far away, and they had no time to think about it at this time, and quickly moved away from the deck.

Sea ghosts, according to legend, are gods and monsters in the sea and followers of the Dragon Lord.

Seeing the appearance of this monster, everyone was shocked. Li Qinghe was concerned about his own safety, and was still watching from a distance on the deck.

The next moment, the river rolled violently, and everyone looked again, thinking that the sea ghost appeared again.

"Wow!"

The sound of water sounded.

Everyone can't help but follow the prestige.

A slender figure flew away like a frightened bird, the wet clothes clinging to the muscles, outlining Ang Zang's figure, under the sunlight.

Shining brightly.

Xu Ping carried Wu Laosan who was unconscious and spitting blisters, and landed on the deck, looking at the bewildered crowd.

"He's not dead yet, he should be saved."

Surprised, everyone looked at Xu Ping who had given him a helping hand with grateful eyes.

Several people rushed to check on the situation of their companions, and the captain saluted Xu Ping: "Thank you so much for your rescue, Mr. Zhou, I am very grateful..."

"careful!"

Before he finished speaking, the captain looked back and suddenly screamed.

Seeing the sea ghost jumping high and rushing towards him, unexpectedly, the young man in front of him seemed to ignore him, without turning his head, and suddenly pinched his right hand to his side.

As if the sea ghost came to the door automatically, he sent his neck directly into his palm.

With the blessing of copper skin and iron bones, Xu Ping at this time has surpassed many people in terms of physical strength alone.

The huge force in the hand is more than a thousand catties.

No matter how hard the sea ghost pinched in his palm, no matter how he struggled, he couldn't shake him in the slightest.

"hiss……"

Captain Lao Zhou gasped, and after contributing to global warming, he thought to himself, what day is it today, to meet such a powerful expert.

It seems that it is still useful to pay more respects to Mazu and Lord Dragon.

Fortunately, Xu Ping didn't know what was going on in his mind, otherwise it would have been two sentences high and low, what did I have to do with them by saving people.

Looking at the sea ghost with its legs dangling in the air and a tail flailing wildly on its buttocks, Lao Zhou said embarrassingly, "Master, son, your hands should be softer, so don't strangle it to death."

Ok?
"Why?" Xu Ping wondered, glanced at the person next to him who almost had lunch, and said, "If I were a little later, you wouldn't even be able to find his body."

The captain, Lao Zhou, didn't know how to speak. After a while, he said angrily: "Young master, I don't know. This sea ghost is the follower of the Dragon Lord. If you kill it, you will suffer the Dragon Lord's revenge."

Seafarers have many rules and are superstitious.

The Dragon Lord's revenge... Xu Ping looked sideways, looked at the humanoid monster in his palm, and asked, "Can you speak human language?"

"Ahhh-"

The squeaks that came out of his throat were answered by Xu Ping's words.

"Gah!"

Xu Ping exerted all his strength, and the screaming stopped abruptly. The sea ghost's neck tilted, and his body sank into the sea without making a sound.

Seeing this, Lao Zhou, the captain, didn't dare to speak nonsense anymore. He was grateful to the expert for saving him, so he kindly reminded him.

But seeing that the expert in front of him was not afraid at all, he couldn't say anything more, but thanked him a thousand times and reminded Xu Ping to leave as soon as possible.

Xu Ping turned to face the river, the sarcasm on the corner of his mouth was undisguised, killing such a harmful monster was like killing a chicken and a dog, if the Dragon King really dared to take the burden, he wouldn't mind letting Mazu enjoy the incense all to himself in the future.

At this moment, thick fog condensed in the field of vision, and Xu Ping's face changed slightly.

Slay monsters: sea ghosts.

Reward: Melt water.

The water is clear and beautiful, from a spoonful to thousands of miles, it is beneficial to people and things, and it stops when it goes.

The Yin-Yang Illustrated Book disappeared, but the thick fog still existed, not only in front of the eyes, but also drifting from a distance, covering the river in front of him like a gauze.

The sky was instantly gloomy, and the chill was deep, and a large fog slowly floated in.

Really have revenge?
Before he had time to digest the new reward, Xu Ping floated up, skimmed in the air, and landed next to shopkeeper Li.

"Please be careful, this mist is weird."

Li Qinghe, who had witnessed everything just now, came back to his senses at this moment, my God, the one in front of him is actually the same as that female devil.

Just as powerful, just as terrifying.

He suddenly felt that the ninety-one points agreed was not a bit inappropriate, no, he had to discuss it with everyone when he went back.

Li Qinghe nodded, and quickly ordered the sailors on board to hide in the cabin.

He glanced at Xu Ping who was still standing on the bow of the boat.He called out to be careful, and couldn't wait to get into the cabin.

Seeing this, a group of sailors on the nearby boat also hid in the cabin one after another, feeling uneasy.

Seeing that Xu Ping was still standing there, the captain Lao Zhou put his hands to his mouth and shouted, "My lord, you should hide as well."

hide?
Xu Ping's expression was calm, his eyes sparkled, and he stared at the fog in front of him.

Exercising the Qi Watching Technique, the fog in front of him is still impossible to see through.

It seems to be a natural phenomenon.

But how could there be such a coincidence, such a weird natural phenomenon, as the saying goes, there must be a monster when things go wrong, so he wanted to see where the monster was causing the trouble.

The world is vast and everything is silent.

Xu Ping's whole body glowed with a clear light. In this gloomy sky, he seemed to be the only spark in the world.

After pondering for a while, he turned the palms of both hands, holding the willow sword in his left hand, and the copper coin sword in his right hand flew out quickly.

"call out!"

The copper coin sword turned into a golden light and was nailed to the bow of Lao Zhou's ship.

The golden light turned into sharp arrows, as if to break through the fog and move forward.

Xu Ping watched the mist quietly until the clear light all over his body came into contact with the mist, and the golden light on the other ship broke through the mist.

The surging speed of the mist stagnated for a moment, then quickly surged again and went backwards.

It seems to have encountered some terrible monster.

"what!"

Xu Ping was startled, looking at the gradually receding mist, he suddenly noticed a trace of fragrance floating in the void and dissipating with the mist.

The sky reveals the sun, the fog recedes, and the sun enters, occupying the river again.

After a while, everyone hiding in the cabin heard a calm voice.

"Come out!"

Hearing that it was Xu Ping's voice, Li Qinghe stuck his head out of the passenger cabin first, and glanced left and right. Under the glare of the sun, the fat on his face seemed to see a layer of oil.

"Xu, Boss Xu, have you scared away the fog?"

If the fog dissipated naturally, it would not be possible to disappear so quickly. The people on board did not hear any sound, nor did they hear any fighting sounds.

Xu Ping was slightly speechless: "Shopkeeper Li, what do you say, do I look so scary?"

Li Qinghe was stunned for a moment, and said with a sarcastic smile, "I've gained a lot of experience following Boss Xu."

"Hey, why didn't I hear much about your story when I was in the town?"

"Because..." Xu Ping started talking nonsense at him, at the sailors, and at the people on the boat over there who were peeping over:
"It was just a natural phenomenon, you still have to believe in science, understand?"

When the voice sounded, everyone froze for a moment, and nodded dully like a magic voice filling their ears.

……

When all the dust fell to the ground, the captain Lao Zhou thanked Xu Ping for saving the unconscious Wu Laosan from the sea, and sent many beauties Bao over.

But when Xu Ping tasted it, it was like chewing wax, without the slightest taste.

Immediately, the crew on both ships discovered a problem, whether it was food or wine, they all became tasteless.

Everyone didn't know why, only Xu Ping knew in his heart that it seemed that the fog still took something away.

What do you mean, a threat or a provocation?
