Chapter 11 Chapter 9: Magic String Demon Bow Zhang Manyue

In the early morning of the second day, the weather at sea was surprisingly good. The blue sky and white clouds were as beautiful as washing, and the fine sunlight sprinkled the blue sky, outlining a huge golden background. It was a rare sunny day, and many people went to the deck to watch the sea and relax, but they seemed to have a grudge against other people, and no one wanted to stand close.Xiangsi leaned against the railing, blowing the sea breeze for a while, suddenly felt a little dizzy between her brows, and was about to go down, when suddenly she heard a person shout: "Seagull, look at the seagull!"

Xiangsi looked up, and sure enough, a large flock of white seagulls flew close to the water, and soon another flock of black seagulls came, circled the mast, flew up and down, more and more gathered, singing together. A sigh came from behind, Xiangsi turned around, and saw Ao Guang leaning on the railing not far away, frowning, wearing a red embroidered gold gown, but he was not wearing the golden jade gown.He shook his head and said, "Oh, Mrs. Yu, there is something weird on this ship, don't you feed god crows to drive away evil spirits and beg for blessings?" Feed God Crow?Xiangsi smiled slightly, and she remembered a poem she read when she was a child:

Spring water in front of the door, white duckweed, no one on the shore, and the boat leans. When the daughter passed by, Jiang wanted to be twilight, scattered the leftovers, and fed the god crows. There has always been a custom in the south that if a woman encounters a waterfowl flying with the boat on the boat, she will throw them at the leftovers, and those "god crows" will also catch them in the air, and they will hit a hundred shots.According to legend, this can drive away evil spirits and bring blessings to girls. Tang Xiu'er was thoughtful at the side: "There is such a custom, it seems that we should go to the evil...Cousin, go back and get some rice." Xie Shan was still very obedient, turned and went downstairs, walking quickly It was still very fast, for fear that the seabirds would fly away if it was too late.

Everyone seems to believe that there is still a lot of evil going on on this ship. Xiangsi was about to leave when suddenly there was a stabbing pain on her forehead.She pressed the center of her eyebrows with one hand, and supported the railing with the other hand, the pink blood in front of her eyes gradually melted away like water waves. Tang Xiu'er had already taken the corn from Xie Shan and silently sprinkled it in the air, but her face was very gloomy.Those seabirds also lost their previous interest in human feeding, and after catching two, they slowly dispersed. Xiangsi thought that if he went down to fetch food by himself, the seabirds might fly away when he came back.Youyi is asking Tang Xiuer for some.Tang Xiu'er seemed to see what she was thinking, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth, and before she could speak, she pretended to slip her hand and poured a large bowl of corn into the sea.

Xiangsi smiled wryly, but couldn't argue with her, and turned to leave.Yang Yizhi didn't know when he was standing behind her.He seemed to have been staring at her for a while, and said, "Madam Yu didn't feel well just now?" Xiangsi smiled and said, "Oh—Leader Yang, I just stand in the air for a long time, and I have a headache." Yang Yizhi glanced at her with a serious expression on his face. Just as he was about to say something, he changed the topic: "Why doesn't Mrs. Yu feed the god crow together?" Xiangsi regretfully said: "I don't have remnant food with me, only next time."

Yang Yizhi reached out and handed over a handful of corn kernels, but turned his eyes to one side, and sighed softly: "I hope this custom of exorcising evil spirits can be of some use." Xiangsi smiled gratefully, and took it over, but when she turned around, she saw the sky was empty, a few white clouds were about to float and sink, and those seabirds seemed to disappear immediately, so she could only say: "Thank you, President Yang, but the timing is unlucky, The crows have already flown away." Yang Yizhi turned his gaze to the other end of the deck and said, "Not necessarily."

Before he could finish his sentence, a long and long sound of music fluttered from the other side of the deck, filled with an indescribable sense of dreary confusion, as if every syllable was like a crazy dancer, in the heart of the listener Keep jumping, stepping your heart down a little bit. Xiangsi looked up, Xiaoyan was playing a musical instrument shaped like purple water droplets, his lavender clothes, facing the sea, fluttering.The sunlight on the sea seemed to be gradually cooling down amidst the music, hanging heavily on everyone's bodies, soaking up a layer of icy gleam. Immediately, a white light flooded between the sea and the sky, and those seabirds that had just disappeared seemed to be summoned by the music, and flew towards the Tianchao in groups.

"Madam Yu can feed the god crow." Yang Yizhi looked at Xiaoyan, but said to Xiangsi. After hesitating for a moment, Xiangsi came to the railing and tried to throw some rice grains out of her hand.Unexpectedly, the divine crows immediately flew to catch them, and none of them failed. Tang Xiu'er looked at her in surprise, the light in her eyes changed, and her jealousy gradually revealed some uneasiness. Xiangsi felt a strange warmth rising slowly in the blood of her whole body, a smile appeared on her face, as if she had forgotten the strange atmosphere around her, she scattered the rice grains up and down, in a continuous pattern.The sea breeze blows her red dress, against the blue waves and white clouds, in a trance, like a celestial girl scattered flowers, completely out of the world.

Everyone was stunned, but Ao Guang who was nearby was frowning and his breathing was a little short. It seemed that his sense of smell, which was honed in the sea for decades, was more sensitive than hunting dogs, and he had found it in the incomparably bright sunshine. There were signs of danger. Unknowingly, a huge black figure stood in front of him, hoarsely said: "Get out of the way." Ao Guang was taken aback, and looked up, it turned out to be Zhuang Yi who he met at sea last night, unexpectedly he was already on board.Ao Guang didn't like Zhuang Yi very much at first, and he was rudely interrupted just now, and he was somewhat unhappy, so he said coldly: "I'm standing here first, why did I let you?"

Zhuang Yi said coldly: "I have something important to do. If I delay it, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear the responsibility." Ao Guang looked at him with a smile, and said: "Mr. Zhuang wants this piece of land, how dare Ao refuse to give it to him. It's just that Ao came to this ship to start a small business, and he has suffered a lot with him for nothing. There is no income at all. Now that I have managed to stand in a geomantic treasure, I have to exchange some rewards from Mr. Zhuang." Zhuang Yi said flatly: "Five hundred taels." Ao Guang turned his head away, stretched his waist comfortably, and leaned his crutches against the railing, but stopped talking.

Zhuang Yi was already impatient, and said, "What do you mean?" Ao Guang said, "It means too little money." Zhuang Yi said in amazement: "Five hundred taels of silver is still too little?" Ao Guang looked at him with a smile, as if looking at a countryman.He pointed to Xie Shan and said, "It costs a thousand taels for Ao to accompany Mr. Xie for a word. If you accept Mr. Zhuang's price, isn't it too unfair to Mr. Xie? What's more..." Ao Guang touched the crutches at hand, and said: "Besides, Ao's mouth is not inconvenient, but his legs and feet are very inconvenient. Generally speaking, if a silver note of one thousand taels falls on the ground, Ao will not be inconvenient." Too lazy to bend down to pick it up." Zhuang Yi said coldly: "That's one thousand taels." Ao Guang wanted to sneer a few more words, only to hear a low voice: "One thousand and two." The visitor was dressed in a black veil, he couldn't see his face, it wasn't Kong Chan, but who was it? Zhuang Yi was taken aback, looked at Kong Chan and said, "Who are you? You came here to trouble me?" Kong Chan said coldly: "I also want to stand here, since this position is a treasure, the one with the highest price will get it." Zhuang Yi looked up at the sky, his expression was a little anxious, and he gritted his teeth: "Two thousand." "Two thousand and another." "Three thousand!" Zhuang Yi raised his voice, attracting the attention of many people. "Three thousand and one more." Kong Chan calmly increased the size. Zhuang Yi's dark face glowed red, and those bulging eyes shot out two fierce lights that were sharper than eagles: "Girl, do you know who that person is?" Kong Chan said lightly: "You are Zhuang Yi." Zhuang Yi didn't believe it and said: "Since you know, how dare you compete with me for this position?" Kong Chan said: "Because I like to do things that others dare not." Zhuang Yi took a deep breath, and viciously reported a number: "Ten thousand taels." Ao Guang was dazzled by the smile, not thinking that the precious position under his feet was worth ten thousand taels of silver, so he cast his eyes on Kong Chan, waiting eagerly for her to add ten thousand taels of silver.Unexpectedly, Kong Chan said calmly: "I don't want it anymore." After saying that, he turned and left, as if nothing happened. Zhuang Yi spat hard, and stretched out his hand to take out the money, but in an instant his hands were frozen in the money bag, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead. Ao Guang smiled and said, "If Mr. Zhuang didn't bring it with him, I can go to the room with you to get it." Suddenly he felt a shock in his body, a hand like iron pincers was already stuck on his neck, and Zhuang's voice exploded in his ear. Yi roared: "Stinky dwarf, dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head, where is my 20,000 taels of silver note, how dare you steal it from me!" All the bones in Ao Guang's body were rattling, and he was dripping with cold sweat, but he didn't look at Zhuang Yi, but stared blankly at the sky. It seems that the things there are more terrifying than Zhuang Yi's iron hand stuck around his neck. A very bright blue light slid across the sky leisurely, Zhuang Yi suddenly threw away Ao Guang, his eyes filled with ecstasy. I saw a group of unknown seabirds coming through the sky, their wings were blue and extremely beautiful, but the group of god crows retreated quietly as if they were afraid of the latecomers.Xiangsi didn't seem to care, and still leaned on the railing and threw the leftovers into the air. In the distance, Xiaoyan had already put away his instrument, and looked at Acacia without saying a word.Zi Shiji said in a low voice: "Your Highness, are these seabirds also ordered by His Highness?" "No." Xiao Yan looked at the blue seabirds and sighed, "Jayaanti, this is the legendary Jayanti." Zishiji asked in shock: "The daughter of the Heavenly Emperor Indra and the Queen of Heaven, Shezhi, one of the four holy beasts under the throne of Lord Shiva, Jayanti, the guardian god of the holy bird spring?" "It's her." Xiao Yan said: "Being obsessed with the incarnation of Lord Shiva, she abandoned her eternal life, and finally died with broken wings." Zishiji paused for a moment, then glanced at Xiaoyan again, and finally couldn't help asking: "Why does Your Highness play the voice of summoning demons for this woman?" Xiaoyan shook his head, but did not answer. Zi Shiji was a little unwilling, and pointed to the group of blue birds and asked: "Are these all Jayanti?" Xiao Yan said: "No, those are just incarnations..." There was a deep smile in his eyes: "She has already come." Zi Shiji looked up, and saw a giant dark blue bird slowly descending, its wings fluttered with mysterious light, and it perched on Xiangsi's shoulder with its wings folded.A pair of sharp eyes are like the furious vortex of the sea in a storm. Jayanti quietly pecked at the food in Xiangsi's shoulder.The boat has been moored to rest at the port, and the beach is beautiful and the sun shines against each other. It is so quiet that people forget to breathe. At this moment, a cold arrow shot at Acacia silently. When people realized what was going on, the arrow had already arrived in front of Acacia.The iron arrow was coming too fast, and the angle was too tricky, and it was beyond the reach of others to stop it. Shocked, Xiangsi flipped her hands to pick it up, but unexpectedly, the iron arrow's speed suddenly increased, passing through the gap between her fingers, and directly pierced the head of the giant bird on her shoulder. In an instant, a long and mournful cry shot straight into the sky, and Jayanti flew several feet high with the arrow, struggled a few times in the air, and fell to the ground together with a blue light.At this moment, Xiangsi realized that the target of the iron arrow was not herself, but the giant bird on her shoulders!Shocked, he looked towards the place where the arrow came, but saw Zhuang Yi holding the Houyi Divine Bow, striding forward, with a crazy smile on his face! "It's finally here, it's finally here, Jayanti..." He took a few steps forward, leaned beside Jayanti's body, hugged the bird corpse with all his strength, and laughed wildly: "Haha, no one can talk to me." Rob, this is mine..." The giant bird crawled powerlessly on the deck, with its wings spread out, a foot long, and a pool of black and red blood flowed out from under the bird's body, as if stretching out a huge bloody palm! Xiangsi just thought it was inconceivable, and saw that Zhuang Yi had stood up staggeringly, and there were two faint blue phosphorescences in the hand wearing the spotted finger—it was a pair of eyeballs. There was silence all around, and the sky seemed to darken suddenly, and black clouds quickly gathered over the Tianchao from different directions.Zhuang Yi waved his blood-stained hands under the hanging sky, and kept laughing: "Haha, priceless treasure, priceless treasure!" Everyone stood in the salty sea breeze, watching the raging waves and the boundless mist rising from the sky without saying a word, churning between the sea and the sky with his laughter. "Mr. Zhuang, you are crazy!" Xiangsi said angrily. "What do you know?!" He took two steps forward, holding the pair of eyes tightly with one hand: "The eye of Jayanti is an eye that can penetrate the six worlds. It is blessed by the gods and is immortal. Those who get it will be immortal." To have the same eyes as Jayanti! In the whole world, only a sharpshooter like Zhuang Yi has such eyes! My arrow skills will be invincible from now on..." Xiangsi wanted to say something, but Ao Guang stood up from the ground, and sighed: "Mr. Zhuang, your arrow skills are already invincible in the world, ahem, why bother. Take a step back and say, you want to shoot Jayanti , The world is so big, there is no way to do it, why should we not use swords and arrows here." Ao Guang sneered, he said this, obviously implying that Zhuang Yi did not give face to Zhuo Wangsun, Yang Yizhi and others. Zhuang Yi had calmed down a bit at this time, and proudly replied: "It's easy to say! Jayanti is cunning by nature. There are twenty kinds of conditions and seventeen kinds of omens for it to show up. None of them are complete, and I can't see the shadow. I have been tracking it for forty years, and I have only seen it twice, and they all flew away from high altitude. How can I shoot it? Today, it was so hard, it landed on her shoulders, it is really rare! No matter who is on the boat , I can't care less." In the distance, Xiao Yan shook his head slightly: "Anyone's boat will fall, but he actually shot and killed the holy bird Jayanti on the sea, I'm afraid it will be a catastrophe." Zishi was stunned: "What disaster?" A sneer appeared on the corner of Xiaoyan's mouth: "The gods are furious, and the lives of the people are ruined." Xiangsi despised him, and said coldly: "Senior Zhuang spent forty years of hard work for a legend, which is really not wise. In fact, Senior Zhuang has the best eyesight in the world, and it has long been established that there is no reason to do such a cruel thing. What's more, even if the legend is true, people are always mortal, and it may not be of any use to have a pair of eyeballs that are immortal." Zhuang Yi sneered, and was about to say something, when suddenly a shrill cry came from far and approached, and quickly rushed to everyone.I saw a woman in red with knee-length hair hanging loose, standing in the middle of the deck in a strange posture, bowing her waist. It is orchid. Her eyes were wide open, and she was circling around like a lizard, flashing fiercely.There was another scream, and he knelt heavily beside Jayanti's corpse, leaning over and kissing the bloody corpse.All ten half-inch long nails were broken off on the ground, and the hands were dripping with blood, it was unknown whether it was hers or Jayanti's. She raised her head suddenly, soaked in blood, and stared straight at Zhuang Yi, her voice was hoarse, not human, and it was completely different from Miaojue Tianxia's voice at the beginning: "It's you...it's you...you actually Dare to kill Jayanti, you are a devil spurned by God..." Before she could say a word, she jumped up like lightning, her fingers like hooks, and rushed towards Zhuang Yi. Zhuang Yi had put an arrow on the bow at that moment, and shot immediately. With a "clang", the heavy iron arrow fell to the ground.Lan Pa also fell on the deck, and Xiao Yan was standing between them at some point, her expression still very calm, as if her sleeves hadn't been blown by the wind. Xiangsi didn't understand what he used to block Zhuang Yi's arrow. In his memory, there seemed to be only a gleam of moonlight shining from the bottom of his sleeve, and then disappeared without a trace. He looked at Lanpa on the ground, and there was a trace of sadness in his cold eyes: "Miss Lanpa, Jayanti was killed, and you are the first to blame. You don't have to commit more sins, it's better to go back and plead guilty behind closed doors." Lan Pa grinned ferociously, and was about to struggle to stand up, when suddenly a great horror froze on her face - she clearly saw the blood flowing from her forehead! A trickle trickled out from under the crimson half moon. ——This moon wheel is a gift from God, and it will be forever embedded in the flesh and blood. ——If you commit a heinous crime, God will personally take this stone away, and your head will become a sacrifice on the altar. A kind of dead gray immediately covered Lan Pa's face, she stared blankly at the roaring black waves in the depths of the sea and sky, and suddenly argued: "No——, it's not my fault, I don't want to die!" Her voice was extremely shrill , but was suddenly caught in her throat, she let out a scream, bowed her head and spat out a mouthful of blood, her shoulders twitched uncontrollably. Huge black clouds with bright reddish edges hung straight over her head. She just bowed her head and knelt on the ground, as if she had died. Everyone was stunned, and no one dared to help her . After a long time, she raised her head again, sobbing softly, her whole body trembling with fear: "Yes, it was my failure to protect the lord that caused Jayanti to suffer, and betrayed the will of the great god. The sin is unforgivable, and I should fall into hell. Purgatory, life after life, never to be reborn..." Then she spit out a series of sharp spells from her blood-red lips, stopped her mouth suddenly, turned her blood-stained face, and smiled at everyone. This smile made people feel the breath of death. come. In the suffocating death, her expression was extremely calm, and she said slowly: "You are all sinners of God, and you have committed sins that will never be redeemed." The blood in everyone's body was already cold - because it sounded like this sentence didn't come from her mouth at all, but from the dead bird in the pool of blood! The black wings of the bird corpse spread out, and the bright red blood dripped ferociously, as if a devil's bloody mouth had been torn open. A strange moan came out of her throat, which sounded near and far, sometimes ferocious and sometimes painful and frightening. The beautiful face was quickly covered with a layer of strange blue, and the whole face was distorted. She stopped abruptly, her hands were twisted, and she supported the deck with all her strength. Her long hair covered her drooping face. The voice seemed to come from the seabed far away, and it seemed to come from her body: "A group of sinful and ignorant godless people, how could they not believe in God?" I just watched the demons offend the gods and stood idly by...You all committed sins beyond redemption, and God sentenced you all to be smashed to pieces at the place where Jayanti was buried, and none of you escaped! You just wait, wait..." She said word by word: "Waiting for the six heavenly offerings." Xiangsi's body trembled violently, and there was another sharp pain between her brows! The six heavenly offerings are exactly the prophecy when the mermaid Xinglian tore out his heart in the lotus pond at the bottom of the water! Lan Pa raised her head, her ferocious expression was exactly the same as that of Xing Lian at that time, she said in a deep voice: "Evil human beings have once again aroused the wrath of the gods! The six heavenly sacrifices will reappear in the world! And you, as a substitute, will follow the gods Wish, die tragically one by one, so that the gods of the six realms can be freed, and the world can be cleansed of sin..." She suddenly giggled miserably, the sound broke like a string that couldn't be stretched any tighter, and she also passed out on deck. Everyone stood on the deck, their hearts seemed to be shrouded in a thick layer of haze, which they could no longer shake off.A rancid smell floated from the depths of the seabed, lingering on everyone, getting stronger and stronger. The gods were furious, and the souls were devastated. The six heavenly festivals will reappear in the world! The vast sea roared sadly, as if repeating the curse-like words over and over again-you have committed sins that will never be undone, and everyone will become a sacrifice of heaven's punishment. None escaped. The black cloud mountain on the top of the boat seeps down slowly, as if stretching out countless giant hands, trying to snatch people from here...
