Chapter 8 Chapter Eight

The water waves under the boat suddenly violently turbulent, and there was a loud bang, and a person on a boat bed not far away turned over and fell into the water. Shocked, Xiangsi was about to call for help, but saw the water tumbling, the man struggled for a moment, and his head emerged from the water. A pale moonlight just shone on his face outside the window, reflecting a very strange and terrifying scene: the head that kept ups and downs in the water was the face of an old man!The white hair on the top of the alopecia areata is sparse, and there are countless dark spots and blood scabs hidden in the wrinkles on the face, as if it is more than a hundred years old.Behind the wrinkles, there was a kind of desperate madness in those muddy eyes, and a muffled groan that seemed to be moaning or roaring could not stop coming from his mouth and nose.He seemed to be suffering from an unbearable sting, screaming miserably, and groping in the water with his skinny hands, as if looking for something.

Qianli Zishi was stunned and forgot to act for a moment.Xiaoyan pulled her behind him and said, "Isn't this the young man who gave the boat bed to us?" Qianli Zishi suddenly remembered something, said: "Yes, it is him, but how did he become like this?" Xiao Yan frowned slightly, and said, "Zi Shi Ji, what exactly did you cut off just now?" Qianli Zishi murmured: "I don't know, it seems like a silk thread." While they were talking, the man groped in the water for a while, as if he had found something, his hands were spread out in front of his chest, his eyes were wide open, he lowered his head and kept sniffing between his hands.What was tangled between his fingers was a broken silk thread.Under the dim moonlight, the red silk thread was like an extremely thin bloodstain, winding on his dead branch-like hand, imprinted with lingling wave light, illuminating his aging face extremely strangely.

Xiaoyan seemed to see something, and said in a deep voice, "Zishi, hurry up and leave with Acacia." The man tremblingly combed the tangle of silk thread between his fingers, and suddenly let out a long, shrill cry—he pinched the broken part of the thread with two fingers, looked at it for a while, and seemed to be sure that the thread was broken, so he let out a rage With a roar, he plunged to the bottom of the water, and the water violently churned! After a while, similar cries were heard from the wooden pits of all the boat beds in the house, and the sleeping Xishe people rolled off the boat beds one after another, and the sound of falling into the water was one after another.After a while, dozens of old faces floated up on the black water, looking angrily at the first old man who fell into the water.The old man was submerged in the water at the moment, and stepped back in panic, pulling countless broken silk threads in his hands—it seemed that he dived to the bottom in a rage just now, and tore off all the other silk threads!

The other Xishe people shouted and swam up together, surrounding the old man just now.The old man had a look of fear and begging on his face, and slowly sank to the bottom of the water, as if he wanted to escape.When the first Xishe person yelled, dozens of people swarmed up like a tide, and black waves a few meters high arose on the water surface.Under the waves, the old man Xishe kept screaming heart-piercingly just now, but he was gradually drowned in the roaring and cursing of the crowd. Finally, a thick black blood flower emerged from the bottom of the water.The old man just now can no longer hear the voice.After a while, some fragments wrapped in rags came up and floated quietly on the water.And the other Xishe people put their hands on the water surface, still doing scratching and tearing movements, and made a hissing panting sound, as if they still had more to say.

Xiangsi was stunned and murmured: "They, they killed him!" Qianli Zishi said coldly: "Yes, the next one should kill you." At this moment, the group of Xishe old people gradually turned around and swam towards the boat bed where the three of them were standing, their eyes were full of fierceness, as if they wished they could tear the three of them to pieces. Xiaoyan turned to Xiangsi and said, "Miss Xiangsi, please give me your hand." Xiangsi didn't seem to understand what it meant, Qianli Zishi said in surprise: "Young master, are you going to untie the silk for her? It's absolutely impossible. Now the young master and I have almost lost all internal energy. If she also coveted The young master's nine-aperture divine blood suddenly casts a killer, then..."

Xiaoyan interrupted her and said, "The blood of the Nine Apertures is worthless to her. Since you know that you and I are powerless to defend against the enemy, but you refuse to let her go, do you really want us to die here?" Qianli Zishi said: "Does the young master think she will help us?" Xiaoyan stopped answering, untied the silk from Xiangsi's hand, and said: "Miss Xiangsi, I offended you." Xiangsi was about to thank her, but the boat bed under her feet vibrated suddenly, she let out an exclamation, and almost couldn't stand, but fortunately Xiaoyan helped her up.While she was in shock, she saw several Xishe people had already dived into the bottom of the boat, shaking vigorously, trying to overturn the boat bed, and other Xishe people were lurking not far away, with hawk-like rays of light in their eyes, as if they were waiting for their prey to fall into the water.

Xiaoyan let her go, and said seriously: "Miss Xiangsi, Huayinge's twelve-style spring water swordsmanship is famous all over the world. I am in a place beyond transformation, and I have long admired his god. Although I can't find a good sword here for a while, But this piece of silk is extremely flexible, it can't be hurt by swords, water or fire, so it can also be used as a backup. Miss Xiangsi's martial arts accomplishments are not in swordsmanship, although it is a bit difficult to replace the sword with silk, it can still be done after all. " Xiangsi blushed, and said: "To be honest, I haven't used Chunshui swordsmanship to fend off enemies for five years, and now..."

Before the words were finished, the water roared, and five or six Xishe people joined the ranks of rocking the boat. The boat bed was bouncing up and down under the push of more than ten people, and it seemed that it might turn over at any time.Acacia didn't allow too much thought, turned the silk in her hand into a ray of white light, and stabbed diagonally towards the water. Suddenly, a Xisheren jumped up from the water like a leaping frog, with his fingers like hooks, he grabbed Xiangsi's throat.Shocked, Xiangsi blocked her hand back, and the silk was swept away like a curl of white silk.The figure of that person just jumped into the air, there was no way to dodge it, he actually grabbed the silk with his bare hands, the lovesickness swordsmanship has not yet reached the level of sending and receiving freely, not to mention the silk is a foreign object in the world, although it looks as flexible as steel, it is hard to touch But as if it was weightless, this sweep could not stop at all, and the man's hands were folded back with a puff, and the severed arm was embedded in the chest several inches deep.The man let out a scream, his whole body was surrounded by white light like a fallen leaf, he flew several feet away, fell heavily into the water, like an underwater explosion, a large flower of blood surged up.

Xiangsi looked at the silk in her hand in astonishment, and murmured: "I killed him?" Qianli Zishi said coldly: "Miss Acacia is the first quarter moon master of Huayin Pavilion, and she is considered a first-rate figure in the Central Plains martial arts, but she has never killed anyone?" Xiangsi didn't seem to care about the sarcasm in her words, quietly said: "I killed it, but I didn't kill such an unarmed old man." Qianli Zishi sneered and said: "Unarmed? Although this group of Xishe people are usually greedy and cowardly, they are extremely crazy and fierce when it comes to life and death. With dozens of hundreds of people surrounding them together, with the cultivation base of Miss Acacia, it is best to Put away your compassion and take care of yourself before speaking.”

Sure enough, seeing the tragic death of their compatriots in the water, the other Xishe people wailed mournfully, their wrinkled faces were even more terribly distorted, and rushed towards the three of them like crazy, without any sign of flinching.Among them, the first few did not know when, they pulled out a fishing net in their hands, stretched their bodies, and were already in mid-air, covering their heads towards Acacia. Xiangsi had no choice but to withdraw the silk in her hand, and raised her hand to block the fishing net.She only raised her hand lightly, and the silk was like a long silver whip, bouncing through the air from the surface of the water, and swept towards the Xishemin in front of her head and face.There was only a muffled sound, and the black blood sprayed straight to the roof like a fountain, before those Xishe people could cry out in pain, they were split open from it, and the two halves of the torn body twitched while looking up to the sky. Pour down under the water.

Xiangsi couldn't bear it any longer, knelt heavily on the wooden boat, and couldn't help retching.But at this moment, the crazier Xisheren climbed up the side of the boat again, Xiangsi's hands trembled violently, and he couldn't hold the silk in his hand at all.A Xishe man turned around with a hideous face, and stabbed crookedly at her with a shiny harpoon in his hand. It's not that Xiangsi didn't notice that there was someone behind her, and she was exhausted physically and mentally, so she couldn't make a move.After a little hesitation, the cold air had penetrated through her thin clothes and pierced her skin. At this time, she heard Xiaoyan say behind her: "Menghua Zhaoying." Xiangsi was startled, this move "Menghua Zhaoying" was the fifth move of Chunshui swordsmanship.Although she hasn't used a sword for a long time, the Spring Water Sword Technique is a sword technique that Huayinge disciples must learn. Although there are few moves, they can be described as everything in the world.It is no accident that Xiangsi was able to serve as the moon master of Huayin Pavilion. He has worked hard on this move for more than a hundred days in his early years, and he is very familiar with it.In times of crisis, once someone reminds you, you don't need to think about it, this trick has already been swung out like clouds and flowing water. A white light suddenly rose from her hand, folded in mid-air, and swept straight onto the water, a jet of water splashed loudly, just hitting the chest of Xisheren behind Xiangsi.The man snorted and fell into the water. Xiangsi looked into the water in astonishment, Xiaoyan said: "Miss Xiangsi, don't worry, he was just knocked unconscious by the water jet." Before Xiangsi had time to answer, two more Xishe people came rushing from the water, shouting. Xiao Yan stared at the water and said, "Curve the boat across the river". The lovesickness gathered in her wrists, and the sword turned into a horizontal swipe. The silk silk was urged by her internal force, and it didn't rise into the sky as she thought, but just spread across the water like a dragon.A wave of water pushed away the waves, shaking the two Xisheren who had just climbed on the side of the boat away. See Yueliufang, Xiaopu Yuchang, Ludaiyanluo, Hongniyunzhuang, drinking rainbow beyond the sky, pregnant with pearls and blue waves.After five moves in a row, those Xishe people were all shaken away by the waves of water picked up by the silk silk.The group of Xishe people seemed to be apprehensive, and temporarily stopped their offensive, lying on the surface of the water, looking for an opportunity. Xiangsi stood at the bow of the boat, half of the silk in her hand was hanging into the water, her chest heaved unceasingly.Under Xiaoyan's guidance, although her Chunshui swordsmanship can use the power of water waves to restrain Xi Sheren without hurting or killing, it consumes a lot of energy, which cannot be supported by her internal strength. Those Xishe people seemed to see something, they exchanged glances with each other, a few people took the lead, and everyone slowly parted the water and swam towards the place where the three of them were. Xiangsi gradually clenched her hands tightly, and cold sweat dripped from her forehead. Xiaoyan sighed lightly, and said: "Miss Xiangsi, you have tried your best, please back off." Acacia seemed to be unable to speak, but shook her head slowly. Xisheren was silent, and had already surrounded the boat bed where the three of them were.Suddenly the few Xishe people in front raised their hands, and several balls of dark objects had already landed on the boat bed. A strange breath immediately pervaded, the dark mass didn't seem to solidify, it spread slowly as soon as it touched the boat's surface, and in a short while, the entire boat bed was covered with this viscous liquid. Qianli Zishi picked up a little and put it on the tip of his nose, with a very heavy expression: "Master, it's oil." Xiangsi asked in surprise, "Could it be that they want to attack with fire?" Xiaoyan nodded silently. At this time, a little flame rose from the big house, illuminating the dark water surface into a huge halo.Dozens of old and weird Xisheren were crowded in the water, and one of them was holding a torch in his hand.Wrinkles on his face were distorted layer by layer, and the cold light flickered in his eyes, which was full of hatred. Suddenly, the group of Xishe people shouted in unison, and the shrill roar reverberated throughout the room.The man in the middle passed on the torch in his hand, and in just a moment, dozens of blazes blazed, illuminating the wooden house as bright as day, those old and strange people bent their bodies, their beards and hair were all gone, and there was a fierce light in their dirty eyes. Half-floating and half-sinking in the water. Acacia's heart sank.They seemed to be throwing their torches at the ship's bed together.After working hard myself, although I was able to knock down some with hidden weapons, it was inevitable that some of the nearly a hundred torches would hit the boat bed.And no matter which one landed on the oil-soaked ship deck, they would have to jump into the water, and in their current situation, it would undoubtedly be a challenge to face this large group of crazy Xishe people underwater. Deadly thing! She stood facing the fire, and slowly put down the silk, with a cold light in her hands. As long as there is a chance, she will never give up. Xisheren shouted loudly and waved his arms from the water, nearly a hundred blazing fires fell like meteors, all flying towards the place where she was standing!
