Taming the Demon: A Guide to Raising a Great Sage

Chapter 61 061, one step late

While leading Shen Lang to the fishing village, Lao Xu explained in a low voice:

"Shopkeeper Luo's confidant, Da Hutou, recruits new people in this fishing village. He doesn't eat our food, so he can't find it here. He found it by mistake, and he couldn't see Da Hutou.

"Did you see the man mending the net over there? He is an eyeliner, and he doesn't belong to any pirate family. He is a fisherman in this village. But as long as there are pirates who come here to repair, sell stolen goods, or recruit people, he will be an eyeliner for the pirates." Earn bounties.

"Once he sees a stranger, he will pretend to be vigilant and come over to question him. His family will take the opportunity to report to the pirates. If he meets someone from the Customs Inspection Department, he will pretend to sell seafood and come over for a while. to block.

"Of course, in the Customs Inspection Department, many people have been fed by the shopkeepers. They have a tacit understanding with this side, and they will not come to inspect easily. Even if there are inspectors who do not take bribes to come to inspect, someone will inform them in advance ..."

While he was talking, the guy who repaired the net took the initiative to say hello to Old Xu:
"Old Hook, you don't want to part with the wind and waves at sea, and you plan to go back to your old job?"

Old Xu chuckled:
"I managed to survive to this day, but I don't want to feed this old bone to the fish. I brought my nephew here today, and sent him to have a meal with shopkeeper Luo."

The man mending the net laughed loudly:

"Sure enough, I guessed that you came here with a faceless black fellow to find the big tiger head. But this time, shopkeeper Luo is going to participate in a big event, and it's not just any cat or dog who is willing to recruit. You can't have strong hands. Can the black guy next to you do it?"

Black guy, black guy, where is my black guy?Lao Tzu, this is a bronze complexion, okay?Besides, you are as black as a charcoal head yourself, so you have the nerve to call me a black servant?
Shen Lang muttered in his heart, and gave the man who mended the net a murderous look.

The guy who repaired the net was slightly taken aback, feeling that the murderous look in this kid's eyes really seemed to be the case.However, when he dealt with pirates, he was naturally used to seeing all kinds of evil spirits, so he didn't take it seriously, and only joked:

"Hey, this black servant is quite ruthless in his tricks. Didn't he see blood?"

Old Xu smiled and said:

"If it wasn't for seeing blood, killing someone, and not being able to stay in my hometown, who would be willing to go to sea to beg for a living? Not much to say, I'm going to find Big Hutou. Is he still in the old place?"

"Yes, it's there. You just go straight there."

Old Xu smiled and waved goodbye to the man who mended the net, and led Shen Lang straight into the fishing village, and greeted and joked with several people along the way. Not surprisingly, the people who greeted him were all part-time fishermen who made eyeliner for pirates.

After passing through the fishing village, we went on for another mile or two and entered a forest.

Going deep into the forest along the path overgrown with weeds, when we came to a clearing in the forest, we saw a big barefooted man with an open chest and a beard, sitting on a big rock with a big horse and a golden sword. He was scratching his fingernails, and there was a thick-backed machete in his hand.

In the open space in front of the boulder, there is a large group of people gathered, each of them is going forward to report their skills:

"My name is Mang Mule, and I know how to use a knife! I have cut off several people's legs, and even killed two people! Although I have never been in the sea, I am not seasick!"

"I'm an old Pao Guan, and I've worked with shopkeeper Qi for two years. Shopkeeper Qi was annexed last month. I didn't want to work for the enemy of shopkeeper Qi, so I came to join shopkeeper Luo. Well, I'm the gunner, Pao Hit it right."

"My name is Sea Scorpion, I can use throwing knives, within ten steps..."

"My name is Zhou Zhougou, and I am a fisherman in the village. I have been fishing with my father since I was a child. Although I have never killed anyone, I am very good at water. I also know how to drive a boat, fish, distinguish the tide, and the weather..."

At this time, Lao Xu brought Shen Lang to the outside of the crowd, and without queuing, he pulled Shen Lang to squeeze inside.

The few people who were pushed away by him were unhappy and glared at him angrily.

But Lao Xu rolled his eyes, he laughed strangely, showing a fierce and unscrupulous look, the humble awe he had in front of Mu Qingxue before, and the cheerfulness and kindness he had when chatting nonsense with Shen Lang all disappeared, replaced by a kind of The temperament of a desperado who wants to stab someone with a knife if they disagree with each other.

Just relying on the ferocious temperament of this old bandit, those strong young men who looked fierce shrank back, avoiding his bloodthirsty eyes one after another, and let him lead Shen Lang to the front.

"They are all young people, and they may have some skills in their hands, but when they kill people, they are mostly bragging."

Old Xu said to Shen Lang disdainfully, without even lowering his voice.

While speaking, he squeezed out of the crowd, came to the big rock, and shouted at the bearded man:

"Big Tiger, I'm an old hooker! This is my cousin, who suffered a life-threatening lawsuit in his hometown, and came to join me. I heard that shopkeeper Luo is recruiting, so I sent him here to follow shopkeeper Luo!"

Dahu raised his head and glanced at Lao Xu, then laughed and cursed:

"You old sea dog, if you don't come to help my shopkeeper yourself, what's the use of sending a small one over?"

Old Xu smiled and said:

"I'm too old, and my skills are not as good as before. If I kill three or two strong guys, I'm afraid I'll be out of breath. My nephew is different. He was born in a hunter. He is very accurate with a shotgun and can shoot at fifty paces." You can shoot wherever you want, give him a good gun, and he can kill whoever you ask him to."

The bearded man and big tiger squinted his eyes, looking up and down at Shen Lang:
"Is this kid really as powerful as you say?"

Old Xu patted his chest to assure:
"It's so amazing!"

Big Tiger nodded:

"Okay, look at your old hook face, let's accept him. What's his name?"

"Just call him 'Little Pony'."

"It's a good name, easy to remember. But I'm ugly. If this kid does something bad, I won't be soft."

"No problem, I have made it clear to Xiao Ma about the rules at sea. If something goes wrong, he should be punished and punished. Even if he should be killed, he will not frown. Of course, my cousin and nephew are very sensible. , will definitely not make a big mistake that deserves to be killed."

"That's fine, let your nephew wait. Old Hook, palm my eyes for me, and see if these boys can do it. Your benefits will be indispensable at that time."

"okay!"

For Lao Xu's sake, Big Hutou didn't let Shen Lang demonstrate his so-called "accurate" shooting skills on the spot, so he directly let him join the group.

After another half an hour, the big tiger head picked out the people he was satisfied with, threw a few silver dollars to Lao Xu, and asked him to take away the group of people who were not selected, then he picked up his big knife and stood upright on the big rock , shouted to ten people including Shen Lang:
"From today onwards, you guys will be in the same boat as Lao Tzu, and you will share the blessings and hardships in the future! Shopkeeper Luo and Lao Tzu will lead you to make a fortune together, share a lot of money, drink in big bowls, and drink in big bowls." Eat meat!

"But you also know that we are doing life-threatening business. When we get on the ship, we have to abide by the rules on the ship. Especially when fighting with people, we must obey the orders. Whoever dares to shrink back, I will kill anyone head..."

Ba la ba la talked about the rules, and the big tiger waved his sword:
"set off!"

With a dozen or so new buddies, they walked out of the woods from another forest path, and then went around a reef and came to a beach, boarded two small boats, and sailed towards the big ship moored on the distant sea .

When Shen Lang successfully joined the group, boarded the big ship named "Fu Yuan", and sailed south with the ship.

Outside the north gate of Yingzhou Fucheng, a group of travel-worn knights galloped into the Fucheng with the flag of the Duke's Mansion.

Half an hour later, the team of knights passed through the city again, exited the south gate, entered the port, and finally stopped outside the port at the foot of a hill.

Leading an ordinary-looking knight, he wiped the dust off his face, glanced at the huge black bead in his hand, saw the scarlet fingers on the surface of the bead, and pointed in the direction of Nanyang, shook his head helplessly, and looked at a figure beside him. The flimsy knight said:

"The murderer has already gone to sea. Judging from the direction, he should be going to Southeast Asia."

There was a little silence.

The thin figure, with black and gray face, looked at the unattractive knight, and let out a hoarse female voice full of hatred:

"So what about going out to sea? Keep chasing! I won't give up until I catch the murderer!"

The knight said solemnly:

"No, Duke Ying..."

"Hmph, Duke Guo is busy with important matters now, so how can he care about me? Besides, before I came to Changsheng County, I agreed to guard my brother's spirit for 49 days. Now only five or six days have passed, and there is still plenty of time! I still have a boat The boat is registered under my younger brother’s name, so you can go to sea on my boat without using the power of the Duke’s government!”

"...But I can't accompany you to the sea. Mu Qingxue is in a hurry, so I have to stay and take charge of the situation."

"It's okay, you can lend me a few people, plus my own manpower, it's enough!"

"Okay. I'll give you a sixth-rank killer and three seventh-rank killers. Although the murderer is good at assassination and skilled in swordsmanship, his realm will not exceed seventh-rank. Four experienced blood shadow killers, plus your own power, It's enough for all occasions."
