The years of reselling the haunted house

Page 652

I can clearly see that the river flows down from the upper reaches, and our coffin boat is traveling against the current.

Sailing against the current should have been more strenuous, but I found that our coffin boat, under Master Jiu's control, did not experience any strenuous effort.

The same as when it came, the boat went upstream and went very smoothly.

I looked up at the sky. After the wind and rain, the sky was very clear. It should be dawn in two hours.

According to this progress, we should leave Nanguandu soon.After passing Nanguandu, the remaining waterways were no problem for Master Jiu.

"Master Jiu, where are we going now?" To confirm, I still asked Master Jiu.

Because I found that Master Jiu's expression was not at all relaxed.He stared at the water in front of him, and tightly held the bamboo wormwood in his hand.

"Yangzi. I haven't left Nanguandu yet. I have a hunch that there may be another catastrophe. You are at the stern and I am at the bow. If you find anything, please tell me quickly. Eighth Lord..."

After Jiu Ye finished speaking, he called out Ba Ye.

Ba Ye had been standing on the canopy of the boat, and when Jiu Ye called it, it quickly flew into the air.

"Exploring the way." Master Jiu ordered.Hearing this, Ba Ye flicked his wings, and rushed towards the front of the boat like a black arrow.

I watched Ba Ye leave the boat and fly away, and within half a minute, I saw it fly back as if fleeing.

This situation seems to have been similar, Ba Ye only behaves like this when he sees danger.The last time it flew back like this, it was because it encountered other large groups of water crows.

It seemed to be the same this time. I saw a large black cloud in the air not far behind Ba Ye from a distance.

"Here we come, we come..." Eighth Master yelled a few words, then quickly landed, and quickly got into the cabin.

Those black clouds that shrouded the sky soon swept over.It was only when I got closer that I noticed that in the large black cloud, I could still see black shadows, which were crows.The kind of water crow that once attacked Feng Deng.

Before I knew the exact name of this kind of crow, I always called them water crow.

The last time Master Jiu went into the water, these water crows had attacked the two lanterns.I knocked down a few of them with a slingshot before they receded.

Later, when the ghost ship appeared, they also appeared, but it seemed that they were trapped by the ghost ship.It wasn't until we crashed the phantom of the ghost ship that they escaped.

Unexpectedly, when we were about to leave Nanguandu, they made a comeback again.

And this time the number is much higher than last time, at first glance there are hundreds of them.

They flew over our boat very quickly, but they did not land for a long time, but kept circling in mid-air.

For the first time, I felt that the sound of flapping wings made by hundreds of birds was so terrifying.

The moonlight in the sky was completely blocked by this group of water crows.

In addition, there are more and more black clouds and fog floating from a distance, and the visibility in front of us is getting lower and lower.

Master Jiu turned a blind eye to the water crows in mid-air, and kept moving the bamboo wormwood in his hands, apparently wanting to leave Nanguandu as soon as possible.

"Master Jiu, there are things underwater, too." I suddenly discovered that a large number of black shadows appeared below the water surface at some point.

These dark shadows dived about one meter below the water.They should have come here a long time ago. The front, back, left, and right sides of the boat were already surrounded by this kind of black shadow before they knew it.

When we first arrived at Nanguandu, I found this kind of shadow swimming underwater.

They have been around our boat, but there has been no movement.And after passing through a few ghost eyes, these shadows disappeared.

Unexpectedly, they came again this time.

There are water crows in the sky, and there are such shadows in the water. Are they trying to gather together to cause trouble for us?

"Boom..."

The boat was moving forward quickly, and suddenly, as if it had hit something, it made a muffled sound and stopped abruptly.

"Master Jiu, what's the matter?" I grabbed the Jianglong wooden sword in my hand, and put the slingshot on my waist.The situation is clearly serious.

I didn't expect that the most difficult task of recovering the corpse was successful, and I would encounter such troubles when returning to the voyage.

"These water crows eat the flesh of carrion corpses on the water all the year round. So they have gathered some corpse gas on their bodies. Tang Ji is the king of corpses in this water area, and even the master of this water area. Therefore, these water crows live all year round. They are all under the control of Tang Ji. They must be dissatisfied in their hearts, but they dare not offend Tang Ji. Now that Tang Ji is taken away by us, once the body is picked up, her morality will be reduced by half. These water crows see If there is an opportunity, they should be here for revenge. They are not coming for us, but for Tang Ji."

After what Master Jiu said, I have a better understanding.Although these water crows have been circling in mid-air, the center of their circling is really not far from the stern of the ship where Tang Ji is.

Chapter 1690

These water crows must have taken aim a long time ago, and they have already discovered where Tang Ji's body is.

But I still have a question in my mind.Jiu Ye said that these water crows often eat some carrion meat, but these water crows are not water birds, they cannot swim.

How many carrion corpses will there be for them to eat on the surface of the river?

This is a question that baffles me.And when I looked at Tang Ji's body, I found another problem.

Those shadows diving underwater surrounded our boat, but none of them approached Tang Ji's body.

So what kind of creatures are these underwater shadows?

I was just about to ask Master Jiu again, it is best to know the weaknesses of these strange underwater creatures, and find a good way to deal with them.Otherwise, if things go on like this, the ship will definitely not be able to move.Those shadows blocked the course, unless the ship could grow wings and fly across the waters.

As a result, at this moment, a sound suddenly came from the water.

Around the boat, the water surface began to rippling in countless places, and those shadows were rising rapidly, and soon emerged from the water.

Now I don't need Master Jiu's introduction, I have seen it clearly myself.

Although the moonlight was covered by those water crows, I could still see the water surface around the boat clearly with the help of two relatively bright wind lanterns.

Those shadows floating up from the water turned out to be carrion corpses one by one.

As they emerged from the water, an extremely unpleasant smell quickly spread over.

I hurriedly held my breath as much as possible, but what those rotting corpses brought was not only an impact on my sense of smell, but also visually, I couldn't bear it.

I know that in the Jingnan Guandu waters, due to the relationship between geography and water potential, there are thirteen ghost eyes, so many corpses washed down by the upper reaches will be sucked to the bottom of the river here.This includes humans as well as animals of all kinds.

A large number of sunken corpses are at the bottom of the river, so this is usually a place where corpse hunters, especially the descendants of Yan Wanggou, often come and go.

It's just that there are fewer and fewer successors of Yan Wanggou, and now only Master Jiu is known.And Master Jiu has been shutting himself out for the past ten years, so there are more dead bodies in this area.

The corpses that surfaced were of different degrees of decay, and people and animals were mixed among them, what a mess.

It turned out that the shadows in the water were actually these sunken corpses.But aren't they always at the bottom of the river?How did it suddenly come up?And I have seen with my own eyes that they are not fixed in one position underwater, but swim all the time.

How can the dead body swim?

Seeing dozens of corpses emerging from the water, I was horrified at the scene.

At this time, as the corpses emerged from the water, the water crows in the sky, as if they had received a unified command, swooped down from the air, landed on the corpses, and began to peck at them. .

There are more than a dozen water crows standing on each corpse.They didn't distinguish any part of the corpse, and they frantically pecked at it.

It turns out that this is how water crows eat carrion.These corpses will be sent to the surface of the water by themselves for these water crows to peck at?

The strange things that have happened frequently in the recent period have made me dizzy, and I almost forgot the situation we are in.

Those water crows didn't eat much, and there was enough carrion on the carrion corpses, so they were full soon.

"Chachacha..." They chirped and flew into the air again.

And those rotting corpses also sank slowly, sinking to the bottom of the river.

Everything that happened showed that it seemed that these carrion corpses were really sent up to be eaten by the water crows, and now they sank by themselves after completing their mission.

But no matter how strange things happen in this world, they usually follow the laws of nature.

After the bodies fell, I found that there were still some things under the water that hadn't receded.

Those things were smaller in size, and after the corpses receded, they surfaced instead, revealing heads one by one.

"Jiangpizi." I found those things, which turned out to be strips of Jiangpizi.

It was Jiang Pizi who sent the corpses up.

No wonder those corpses can float from the bottom of the river to the surface of the river, and then sink from the surface of the river to the bottom of the river.It turned out that Jiang Pizi played tricks on him.

"Chirp, chirp..." It was unknown which Jiang Pizi stretched its neck and made the sound.

At this time, the water crow in mid-air and Jiang Pizi in the water moved together, and they went straight to Tang Ji not far from the stern.

Now that everything is clear, Jiang Pizi and Shui Crow are also in an interdependent relationship.Jiang Pizi usually pushes the carrion underwater to the surface of the river for water crows to peck at.So Jiangpizi is the guarantee for the water crows' survival.They will also obey Jiang Pizi's orders.

At this time, as expected by Master Jiu, the target of their coming here is not us, but Tang Ji.

But even if the target is not us, it involves our interests.

If we can't bring Tang Ji back intact, then our operation is doomed to fail.

Master Jiu had already arrived at the stern of the boat, and he had expected that the water crows would come after Tang Ji's body.

But he probably didn't expect that there were so many Jiang Pizi underwater.

Master Jiu was holding the bamboo wormwood in his hand, and when the Jiang Pizi in front were about to approach Tang Ji's body, he quickly shook the bamboo wormwood and whipped it on the water a few times.

I clearly saw that the tenacious bamboo wormwood was shaken into a bow shape in Master Jiu's hands.

Immediately, the bamboo wormwood's head hit the water, splashing high waves.The two river skins under the water were drawn by the bamboo wormwood, and their bodies rolled over in the water.

At this time, more Jiangpizi dived to the bottom of the water, and they even lifted Tang Ji's body up.

They were going to do the same thing, lifting Tang Jituo to the surface of the water for those water crows to peck at.

But Tang Ji's body didn't respond to this at this time, just like an ordinary rotting corpse, allowing Jiang Pizi to make such a move.

Master Jiu made it clear just now that when Tang Ji agreed to leave with us and the corpse was hung with the Hades Hook, some of her spirituality was suppressed by the Hades Hook.

Whether Tang Ji is a thousand-year-old corpse or a thousand-year-old soul, at this moment, after being hooked by the King of Hades, she is just an ordinary corpse.

In other words, if something happened to Tang Ji and her body was pecked, it would be caused by us alone.

But this is also a hurdle we must pass if we want to retrieve the corpse.After all, Tang Ji has been rampant in this water area for a long time, and these Jiangpizi and water crows have suffered greatly, and this is the best time for them to take revenge.

Chapter 1691

Even though Master Jiu kept beating the bamboo wormwood in his hands, he knocked over several Jiangpizi in succession.But there were too many of them, and Tang Ji was still lifted out of the water.

It looks like Tang Ji is standing upright in the water.I saw her face, like a newborn.Seeing this face, I suddenly remembered the scene of me and Tang Ji in the bridal chamber.

At this moment, Tang Ji had her eyes closed tightly, and her complexion was lifelike.

If Tang Ji could express her emotions at this time, it must be very painful.

Thinking of her pear blossom with rain, my heart trembled, and I quickly took out the slingshot, reloaded it and hit the water crow flying down in the air.

At this time, my mind was focused on not letting Tang Ji's body be damaged, even if it was only for the moment in the bridal chamber.

It may be that this state of mind is more suitable for me to use the slingshot.The few projectiles I shot hit a hundred shots.

A few water crows screamed and fell from the sky.The other birds were also frightened, and flew away one after another.

"Well done, Yoko, don't stop. Until you break them apart."

The bamboo wormwood in Master Jiu's hand didn't stop, and it hit the water surface one after another, knocking over the Jiangpizi that were closer to the water surface one after another.

Tang Ji's body also went up and down.But there were too many Jiang Pizi, and they kept swimming from the surrounding waters, holding Tang Ji up in turn.

But for some reason, they didn't seem to dare to speak to Tang Ji.I just want to lift Tang Ji up, and the water crow will be the main attacker.

That's why Master Jiu asked me to continue chasing and beating hard to break up those water crows.

I nodded, straightened the slingshot in my hand, loaded the projectile, and continued to hit the water crow flying in the air.

Chuanshan Jia once told me that if you hit the slingshot smoothly, you don't need to aim at ordinary targets.This skill may not be achieved by practicing hard, and it may be realized inadvertently.It's like window paper, it will break if you poke it.

I don't know if my eagerness to save Tang Ji just now affected my state of mind.After successfully knocking out a few water crows, when I hit them again, I felt more calm than before.

It seems that when my projectile hits the target, it is an accident.

Sure enough, I fired three more bombs in a row.

No bullets.

After a few screams, messy feathers fell from the air, and the bodies of the three water crows fell from the air into the river.The remaining water crows fled in all directions, with the intention of retreating.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp..." At this moment, Jiang Pizi's cry came from the river again.

This should be an order to the water crows. The water crows that I had scattered quickly gathered again and rushed towards me and Jiu Ye in groups.

They should have seen it clearly, they will not be able to retaliate against Tang Ji unless they get rid of me and Master Jiu.

Master Jiu withdrew Zhuhao and clicked continuously in the air.

Bamboo stalks are very long, and they are used very skillfully by Master Jiu. They can be used not only as stalks for punting, but also as weapons in their hands.Bamboo Artemisia was extremely accurate in the air, and also knocked down a few water crows that rushed over.
