Chapter 20 Chapter 19 Sunset

The stars are hidden and the sun is rising, and the river is like a belt. In the middle of the river, a flat boat goes down the vast river, full of loneliness.The sunlight cast on the turbulent river, glowing with a little bit of golden light, bringing a very gorgeous color to the bleak autumn. There was a red clay stove at the bow of the boat, and there was a copper pot, which seemed to be boiling water, but there was no spark in the stove. A monk sat cross-legged on the bow, dressed in a black Taoist robe.He just sat like a wood carving or a stone carving, if the man's clothes were not fluttering in the wind, his chest would still rise and fall slightly, and others would think that he was not a living person when they saw it.

Yao Sansi stood at the stern of the boat, quietly looked at the man at the bow, and said in a low voice, "Master Qianhu, is Master alright?" Sitting on the bow of the boat was Daming's prime minister in black—Yao Guangxiao. Since Zhu Yuanzhang in the Ming Dynasty, one prime minister was abolished, and six ministries were directly in charge.Zhu Di followed this example and formed a cabinet to replace the power of the prime minister, but in the eyes of the courtiers and common people, Yao Guangxiao was the prime minister—even more powerful than the prime minister. Yao Guangxiao is not only the prime minister, but also very dark, because Yao Guangxiao seems to only like to wear black Taoist uniforms all his life - even when he worships the emperor.

Standing by Yao Sansi's side was Qiu Changfeng, the river wind was hunting, Qiu Changfeng's hair was flying, and he was weaving the leaves of the iris in his hands.When he has nothing to do, he is always used to making something out of marlin leaves.Listening to Yao Sansi's question, he asked back: "Do you hope that the master is okay?" Yao Sansi blushed, and hurriedly said: "Of course not. But the master sat on the bow for so long and didn't move, could he be hungry?" Speaking of eating, Yao Sansi's stomach growled first. Yao Sansi, who always liked to take risks but never had the chance to take risks, picked up another task this time that he didn't think was any challenging at all.

The task is - to accompany the master to Jinshan together with Qiu Changfeng. Yao Sansi was actually very reluctant. He knew that something big happened in Nanjing. He heard that King Zhao led Hanwang's Tiance Guard out of Nanjing, and his whereabouts became a mystery. Ji Gang, the commander of the Jinyiwei, chose the masters of the Jinyiwei to follow Zhao Wang, and he must be carrying out a big task.Yao Sansi stretched his neck, and did not wait for Ji Gang to roll his name. On the contrary, Meng Xian followed Ji Gang to leave, and Yao Sansi was inevitably disappointed. Women are afraid of marrying the wrong man, and men are afraid of standing in the wrong line. Yao Sansi feels like he is standing in the wrong queue.Qiu Changfeng's performance in Qingtian and Jinling made people admire him, but in Yao Sansi's eyes, Ji Gang began to neglect Qiu Changfeng, and Yao Sansi who followed Qiu Changfeng by the way.

Qiu Changfeng kept his fingers, and the woven object was outlined, which was different from the grasshoppers he usually wove.Seeming to see Yao Sansi's thoughts, Qiu Changfeng said: "You must think that the Holy Majesty asked Zhao Wang and Commander Ji to join forces to solve a shocking case, and the danger is extremely dangerous?" Yao Sansi immediately nodded and said, "Of course." Qiu Changfeng shook his head and said: "It's not true. In my opinion, if you follow them, the danger is definitely less dangerous than mine." Yao Sansi wasn't afraid, instead cheered up, and asked quickly, "What does Lord Qianhu say?"

Qiu Changfeng said indifferently: "Tiance defends thousands of people, this time Jinyiwei also sent hundreds of masters, what can stop their joint attack? You are only a hundred households among them, if you encounter an enemy, maybe even your opponent I came back without seeing anything. But if it’s just the two of us, if we meet an opponent, you must share part of it, don’t you think?” Yao Sansi geared up and said excitedly, "Master Qianhu is right. So what kind of risk will we... encounter this time?" Looking at Jiang Xin, Qiu Changfeng said leisurely: "There are risks everywhere. You are on the boat right now. Maybe the boat capsizes suddenly and you just die in the river...Life is impermanent, who knows what will happen next ?”

Yao Sansi didn't hear Qiu Changfeng's worry, and said discouragedly: "Is this considered a risk? Death is not exciting at all." He has always yearned for adventure, thinking that even if he dies, he must be vigorous. Being drowned in the middle is really boring. Sitting on the bow of the boat, Yao Guangxiao suddenly said, "If you want to seek death, why didn't you look for me?" He said this suddenly at the bow, obviously listening to the conversation between Qiu Changfeng and the others. Yao Sansi was stunned for a while, and finally passed the cabin to the bow, and said with an apologetic smile, "Master, a villain is just nonsense, if you offend me in any way, don't take it seriously."

Yao Guangxiao looked at the vast river, and suddenly showed a very strange smile on his face, "I won't take offense. Anyway, your fate is yours. If you die, what does it matter to me?" The wind blowing from the river, Yao Sansi looked at Yao Guangxiao's secretive smile, for some reason, he felt a chill all over his body. Yao Guangxiao's eyes were full of bewilderment, and he said slowly, "Do you know why I want to go to Jinshan?" Yao Sansi scratched his head and said, "I...don't know." Someone behind said: "Master is going to Jinshan, presumably because of "Song of the Sun and Moon"!"

Only then did Yao Sansi realize that Qiu Changfeng had also arrived at the bow of the boat, and finally realized that it was not him that the master was asking.But when he heard the words "Song of the Sun and Moon", Yao Sansi was still trembling with excitement, because Jinling had already spread the mystery of "Song of the Sun and Moon" secretly, saying that the "Song of the Sun and Moon" written by Uncle Chengyi could actually predict the Ming dynasty. The direction of the country. Although most people are completely ignorant of the content of "Song of the Sun and Moon", they seem to have long believed in this legend.

People always like to believe in mysterious things, and Yao Sansi is no exception. Yao Sansi pricked up his ears, listening to Yao Guangxiao's unruly smile, he said like a night owl: "That's right, I'm going to see Jinshan's verses this time." Qiu Changfeng didn't know what verses Jinshan had left behind, so he asked tentatively, "Master, although the book "Song of the Sun and Moon" is unimaginable, the facts have proved that what was written in this "Song of the Sun and Moon" can actually predict what happened in Ming Dynasty. Now The prophecies of the dragon returning to the sea and the army of 100,000 demons have all been fulfilled, but the two sentences "When the Jinshan Liuyu reappears, the underworld will leave the sea of ​​souls" are very puzzling..."

Yao Guangxiao interrupted: "You are wrong." Qiu Changfeng asked humbly: "What's wrong with the humble job?" Yao Guangxiao said slowly: "According to my speculation, although the return of the dragon to the sea has finally come true, the prophecy of the 100,000 demon army has not yet come true!" Qiu Changfeng was puzzled, and asked after a while, "What exactly does the one hundred thousand demon army mean?" Yao Guangxiao's face suddenly flashed with horror and fear. He just said two words, "God's will!" He uttered these two words, closed his eyes, and clenched his teeth, but the muscles on his cheeks still couldn't help beating. . He was originally haggard, but looking at it this way, he had an indescribably eerie meaning. God willing? Why do you say providence?What is the relationship between God's will and the Hundred Thousand Demon Army? Qiu Changfeng's mind was spinning, but he didn't ask further.He knew that if the master said it, no one could stop it, but if the master didn't want to say it, no one could force it. Just when he thought today's conversation was over, Yao Guangxiao suddenly murmured: "Actually, although the Japanese pirates in Japan have hidden worries, to me, Da Ming, they are nothing more than a mantis holding back the traffic. What the Holy Majesty is most worried about is... a hundred thousand demon army. Our trip , we must find a way to eliminate this force!" Yao Sansi was so excited that he almost trembled all over his body. Han Wang led Tian Cewei and Ji Gang led Jin Yiwei to wipe out the Japanese pirates along the coast, but it was not as important as what the master wanted to do. The danger of it was self-evident. Qiu Changfeng said slowly: "One hundred thousand demon army, could it be said that it is a mysterious force?" He was actually following Yao Guangxiao's words, and only hoped that Yao Guangxiao would continue. Yao Guangxiao suddenly opened his eyes, with indescribable horror in his eyes, but he laughed wildly, "Yes, that is a very mysterious power. I heard that possessing that power is no less than a million soldiers, not only It can be driven to help Zhu Yunqi to rule the world, and even master the mysteries of the world and the way of the common people. I think... Although Zhu Yunqi can command the Japanese pirates in Japan at the moment, his power is really not enough for my Ming Dynasty. He must still want to get a hundred thousand demons The strength of the army will overthrow the emperor's country." One hundred thousand demon armies, the world, one million heroes, the mysteries of heaven and earth... Yao Sansi had been fascinated by listening to it, as if listening to a myth, and couldn't care about the disparity in status, and couldn't help asking: "How can I have that power?" In Yao Guangxiao's eyes, he could see that although the matter was mysterious, it was extremely real. Yao Guangxiao's eyes turned blank, and he spit out a few more words, "Golden Dragon Jue... Xizhao... Lihuo... Gentu. Sixty years is coming again. It will finally appear." He spoke intermittently, completely without logic, and his thoughts seemed to have drifted to the end of the world. Yao Sansi didn't understand, so Qiu Changfeng's pale face suddenly showed great surprise, "Xizhao?" He pondered for a while, as if he had thought of a very important point, but he couldn't be sure for a while. At this moment, Yao Guangxiao looked to the left, his eyes suddenly focused, and he said in surprise, "Huh..." To surprise Yao Guangxiao is definitely not an easy thing to do. Qiu Changfeng didn't want to think too much, turned his head to look at Jiang Zuo, and frowned. Suddenly a wooden raft appeared on the river.Ordinary wooden rafts are made of lightweight moso bamboo tied together, which is convenient for water movement, but the wooden raft is made of surrounded logs, floating and sinking on the river, it seems that there are as many as three layers of logs. Ordinary bamboo rafts are no more than Zhang Xu, but the wooden raft is made of more than ten Zhang Xu wooden rafts connected in a string, it is more than ten Zhang Xu long. That big row is like a huge ship on the river. There was only one person in the row, standing at the head of the row, dressed in the gray sackcloth of an ordinary boatman, looking from the river, he couldn't see his face clearly.As soon as the big row came out, the ordinary boats gave way one after another, as if seeing a ghost.Even if the big boats transporting materials saw them, they avoided and retreated one after another, not daring to compete with the big platoon for the waterway. Yao Sansi had never seen such a huge wooden raft before, curious in his heart, couldn't help asking: "Master Qianhu, what is this?" Qiu Changfeng had an awe-inspiring look on his pale face, and he replied briefly, "It's the exorcism." Excuse me? Yao Sansi didn't know why for a while, but Qiu Changfeng was very clear.In addition to the official control of Daming's current waterways, there are still three major forces active.They are the Green Gang galloping across the Yellow River, the Huohuihui occupying the waters, and Paijiao running across the Yangtze River. These three major forces run through the waterways of Daming, and there are countless talented people in the gang, but they are all well-behaved, restraining the gang, and avoiding chaos. Zhu Di also wants to use these gangs to maintain peace in the world and develop waterways, so he has always turned a blind eye to these gangs. Yao Guangxiao was going to Jinshan, instead of riding a horse or taking a sedan chair. After leaving Nanjing, he quietly went down the Yangtze River to Jinshan. However, it is very abnormal for someone to discharge such discharges in this section of the waterway. Discharging is originally a kind of livelihood of pausing education, mainly through waterways, to transport and sell logs from the forest farms in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River to the downstream for profit.The name Paijiao is also derived from this. However, if the Paijiao discharges the discharge, it is usually carried out in places with strong currents in Sichuan, Huguang, and Jiangxi. The release of discharges seems simple, but it is extremely dangerous.Large platoons are not as easy to control as boats. In many waterways in the upper and middle reaches of the Yangtze River, the current is turbulent and the reefs are densely covered. Such a dangerous life in the Paijiao naturally created a brave and ruthless character in the Paijiao people. The Paijiao people also believed in water letter magic, among which dragons and snakes were mixed, which can be said to have gathered countless mages and Taoists in the Central Plains. Due to the dangers of the platoon, every time the Paijiao releases the platoon, in addition to taking the lead to drive the platoon, there must also be a mage sitting in the command to perform sacrifices to the gods and exorcise ghosts, so as to ensure the safety of the platoon. This also makes the Paijiao itself covered with a very mysterious color. Because of this, ships on the river, no matter they are rich or poor, will stay away when they see patriarchs, lest they offend the patriarchs and gods. But now this section of waterway is close to Jinshan, and it is already counted as the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, where merchant ships come and go.The imperial court has issued a decree that prohibits the discharge of discharges in the waterways here to disturb the merchants. At this time, there are people who discharge discharges, which is really surprising. And there is only one person on the huge platoon, who is also the head of the platoon and the mage, and he is obviously a very important person in the platoon. This kind of people doesn't stick to the rules, and they line up in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Could it be said that there are extraordinary accidents in the row? When Qiu Changfeng thought of this, he saw that the big platoon came first, and not only caught up with their small boat, but was about to overtake it... The person in the row seemed to have ashes in his eyes, and he glanced in this direction inadvertently, full of chills. Yao Guangxiao suddenly said, "So it's Qiao Sanqing." Qiu Changfeng's heart trembled slightly, he was surprised that Yao Guangxiao knew that person, and he was also surprised by Qiao Sanqing's name. Although Paijiao has a leader, it has always been a mysterious existence. It is the twenty-eight constellations scattered all over the Yangtze River that really handle Paijiao affairs. Twenty-eight stars refer to twenty-eight people with high martial arts skills, named after the twenty-eight stars. On top of the twenty-eight constellations, there are also four major platoons to control.Although Qiu Changfeng has never seen these platoons, he knows the names of the four platoons. Qiao Sanqing, Mo Sifang, Jian Wudou, Mu Liuyu! These four people are the second only to the Paijiao in Paijiao, and they all have strange and unpredictable supernatural powers. Don't mention it, ordinary people have never heard of this name. How could such a person suddenly appear on the vast river and be let down? While Qiu Changfeng pondered, he heard Yao Guangxiao say again: "Call him over." Qiu Changfeng was startled, feeling a little embarrassed.He knew that Qiao Sanqing's unusual behavior obviously meant something urgent, so how could he come here so easily?But when the master ordered him to do it, no matter what method he used. Yao Sansi was dumbfounded earlier, and also felt that the person in the row was very ghostly, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to get along with him. Turning his eyes slightly, Qiu Changfeng raised his voice and said, "Tian Ling Shen Zun Sanqing Realm, Jiang Tian is so angry that I will walk alone. Fellow Daoists in line, please stay." He seemed to say something casually, the wooden raft that was going down with the current suddenly slowed down. It was a very strange feeling. There were no paddles, no sails, no sculls and no poles on the big row. It seemed that they were just solitary bundles of wood drifting along the water. Who would have thought that the man on the row would not move, and the big row would actually slow down in the surging river. Seeing this situation, Yao Sansi felt as if he saw a ghost practicing magic, he was almost horrified from ear to ear. At this moment, the big platoon and the small boat were gradually approaching, and they were driving side by side. The man in the big platoon looked towards Qiu Changfeng and said with a sinister smile, "Who are you?" Although he seemed to be smiling, his face was dull. Can't tell the strange meaning.When he saw Qiu Changfeng, he couldn't help showing surprise in his eyes, as if he didn't expect him to be so young. It turns out that the two sentences "Heavenly spirits and gods respect the Sanqing realm, Jiangtian is angry and I walk alone" were originally two sentences given by Qiao Sanqing when he ruled the Yangtze River 30 years ago. At that time, it was changed to the name of Sanqing. "Legends of Immortals" says that the Yuanshi Heavenly King was one Yuan Jingqi when the heaven and the earth were not divided, and transformed into Sanqing in the Daluo Heaven. Fanxing Tianzun-Shenbaojun. Qiao Sanqing's self-named Sanqing is obviously extremely conceited.But he also didn't expect that Qiu Changfeng would tell the past more than 30 years ago in one breath, and looking at Qiu Changfeng's age, he would never reach 30 no matter what. Qiu Changfeng didn't wait for an answer, the man's eyes rolled, and when he saw Yao Guangxiao suddenly, surprise appeared in his cold eyes, "You are..." Before he could ask, a light flashed in his eyes suddenly, surprised Said: "It's you!" Yao Sansi saw that the man's cheeks were fleshless, his eyes were sunken, his face was white and yellow, like psoriasis. Qiu Changfeng was well-informed and knew that the man's face was not ringworm, but water rust. Men who were often soaked in river water often had such marks, but Qiao Sanqing obviously had more and heavier marks.Hearing Qiao Sanqing's tone, he felt that Qiao Sanqing actually knew the master.This doesn't seem to be surprising, after all, before Yao Guangxiao helped Zhu Di, he was also a monk and a Taoist, wandering around the world, and it is not unusual to know people in Paijiao. Yao Guangxiao's eyes suddenly flashed, and he asked, "Where is Xizhao?" sunset? What is sunset? This is the second time Yao Guangxiao mentioned Xizhao, and Qiu Changfeng's face changed again, and a very old legend suddenly came to mind.The ancient legend is not even recorded in his 2024 formulas. He inadvertently heard someone mention this to him.The man seemed to say it casually, but Qiu Changfeng remembered it. Because Di Qing, the great general of Tianlong in the Northern Song Dynasty, was mentioned in that incident, Qiu Changfeng has always been fascinated by Di Qing's impassioned and strong feelings. Xizhao—could it be... Qiu Changfeng thought of the old things that person said back then, and his face suddenly became very ugly, even a little horrified. When Qiao Sanqing heard Yao Guangxiao mentioning Xizhao, his face suddenly changed, becoming even more tragic than Qiu Changfeng, with a bit of anger in it, he shouted sharply: "So it's you!" Even Qiu Changfeng couldn't guess the meaning of this sentence for a while. "You are..." "It's you!" "So it's you!" These three simple sentences contain far from simple meanings. Qiu Changfeng made a move, he made a move immediately, and he made a move when Qiao Sanqing's back shrugged. Most of the time, his invincible position does not lie in his superb martial arts, but in his ability to anticipate the enemy's opportunities. There are a total of 135 rules in the more than 2,000 sentences of Qian Kun Suo, and 13 rules are all about how to observe people. Among the thirteen rules, the two most commonly used rules are one called observing words and the other called observing people. color. In the two rules of observing words and observing colors, a total of 156 sentences are used to let Qiu Changfeng judge a person's behavior. Qiao Sanqing's mouth was pursed like a bowl, his eyebrows were wrinkled like mountains and rivers, his hands were as tight as holding a blade, his legs were as tight as a bowstring, and his breath was quick. Qiu Changfeng knew these characteristics were extremely hostile at a glance. Why did Qiao Sanqing be hostile to his master when he mentioned Xizhao? Qiu Changfeng had no time to think about these things, but since he followed his master, he was responsible for protecting him.He must keep his master safe. Qiu Changfeng tipped his toes, and the fish basket beside him suddenly rose into the air. At the same time, a jet of water suddenly shot up from the river and shot towards Yao Guangxiao.Qiao Sanqing's back was raised, but there was a jet of water shooting out of the river. Could it be that he is really advanced and able to control the river water? The water column casted extremely fast, like a sharp arrow, under the sunlight, it was faintly green. Qiu Changfeng slapped the fish basket with his palm, and the fish basket flew flat and caught the water arrow. With a sound of peeling, the water arrow hit the fish basket, and suddenly turned into several jets of water, recoiling at Qiao Sanqing. With a flick of Qiao Sanqing's sleeve, the water column suddenly turned into mist, covering all parts of Qiao Sanqing's body, making it even more hazy and mysterious.Although Qiao San's white and yellow faces were still numb, he was shocked in his heart. He never thought that the young man in front of him would break his skill of turning water with just a few gestures. Qiao Sanqing didn't wait to move, and heard Qiu Changfeng coldly say: "I heard that among the three cleansing skills of Qiao Daoyou, the methods of panning water, moving clouds, and spreading rain are the most famous..." Qiao Sanqing was stunned, wondering how Qiu Changfeng was so young, how could he know so much, even his Sanqing's unique skills? Qiu Changfeng said again: "But your nine-day giant platoon is hard-won, and we have no hostility. If Qiao Daoyou does not hesitate to use the technique of moving clouds and rain to fight us, wouldn't it ruin your important business?" Qiao Sanqing's face finally changed, as if seeing a ghost, he said in a low voice: "How do you know me..." Before he finished speaking, he heard a drum beating. winter! Winter... winter... winter! The sound of the drum was dull at first, but in an instant it became passionate like a thunderbolt, like a thunderbolt before the clouds and rain, resounding through the sky and filling the river. Yao Sansi's heart was beating wildly from the beating of the drum, and he almost vomited blood. He never thought that there is such a loud drum in the world. Qiu Changfeng suddenly looked up, and his face changed.He turned his eyes away from Qiao Sanqing, and left the empty door to come out. It was the best chance for Qiao Sanqing to make a move, but Qiao Sanqing didn't make a move, but instead looked forward, with a stern look in his eyes. On the lower reaches of the river, a big ship came. When all the boats on the river were dodging the platoon of Paijiao mages, only that boat headed forward, without seeming to have the slightest intention of dodging. The big ship looked like any other ship on the surface, the only difference was that there were two fires burning on both sides of the bow deck. The light of the fire was green—green fire. In the middle of the bow deck, there is a big drum. The drum is extremely huge and abrupt. Standing beside the drum is a strong man with a bare chest. His arms are as thick as Yao Sansi's thighs, and he holds two drumsticks like hammers. Lux beat drums. The drums were like thunder, shaking heaven and earth. The naked chest of the wrestler was shone by the sun, and it was glowing with golden light. Jade fires, giant drums, god-like wrestlers... With these three things, the ordinary big ship suddenly became unusual. Yao Sansi had never seen such a strange fire or such a strange thing in his life. Although his heart beat faster and he almost vomited blood because of the sound of the drum, he couldn't help but asked Qiu Changfeng, "What is that?" He suddenly discovered that this trip would never seem boring, and the danger and excitement exceeded imagination.Qiu Changfeng's face was pale, and he said in a low voice: "The God of Golden Armor, drum up to the sky, it's a fire holding party. Why did they come here?" Such a huge drum and strange fire, as far as Qiu Changfeng knows, there is only one unique family in the world, and that is the fire holding meeting. But the Pinghuo Society has been running across the sea, and it does not interfere with the Paijiao well that controls the Yangtze River. This time, it suddenly entered the Yangtze River estuary from the sea and approached the Paijiao's confidantes with great fanfare. This is undoubtedly a taboo against Paijiao. Holding the fire meeting like this is simply declaring war on the Paijiao. Could it be that there has been a shocking change in the largest meeting and sect in Daming? Suddenly aware of something, Qiu Changfeng turned his head, and saw Qiao Sanqing's platoon rushing out suddenly. Qiao Sanqing, who was on the platoon, looked at the big boat downstream, with a sudden look of cruelty in his eyes. The big platoon was originally parallel to the small boat, but this rapid movement was unstoppable like advancing bravely in a torrent. The large platoon rushed towards the big ship downstream like a crossbow arrow. Qiu Changfeng was startled, knowing that what Qiao Sanqing did was undoubtedly to fight against the masters of the fire-holding club.This row of sects and holding fire will roar proudly across the Yangtze River, crossing the sea area, if there is a fierce battle, I am afraid that the river will churn, and they will be involved, the danger is self-evident. Glancing at Yao Guangxiao, he saw that he was watching the platoon and boats approaching, with a dull expression, as if he didn't know the danger at all. Yao Guangxiao originally provoked this matter, but now Yao Guangxiao is as indifferent as an outsider. Qiu Changfeng shouted: "Savvy, come to the shore." In addition to Qiu Changfeng, Yao Guangxiao, and Yao Sansi on this small boat, there is also a ferryman named Wu Hung—the little monk beside Yao Guangxiao. Yao Guangxiao went to Jinshan and asked for a small boat, but he didn't want the boatman, but let Wuxing ferry him.Yao Guangxiao acts strangely, Qiu Changfeng has long been accustomed to the strange behavior. The strange thing is that this little monk in the north is actually very proficient in handling the boat. At this moment, Qiu Changfeng was never worried about himself, but about Yao Guangxiao's safety. He only wanted to understand and row the boat to the shore in time to get out of danger. Seeing this, the comprehension hurriedly swung the oars.Unexpectedly, the big platoon went away suddenly, a vortex suddenly appeared on the river, the vortex was quite strong, although the understanding knew how to sail a boat, but it couldn't resist the huge force, the boat got into the vortex, and unexpectedly whirled on the river. When the wind is breaking and the waves are breaking, a gray line runs along the vast river, like a giant whale swimming against the water surface with its back exposed. The gray line was undulating, and Qiao Sanqing's big row was approaching the big boat holding the fire. The row was tens of feet long, several rows of logs were connected by big iron nails in front and back, and the upper and lower layers were tied with three layers of logs. At this moment, they were galloping out of the water, and their might was like the roar of thousands of troops and horses. The sound of drums pierced the sky, and the water was rushing. Even if the big boat holding the fire downstream wanted to hide, it was too late to turn. There was only a loud bang, which was deafening, and the platoon hit the big ship! The turbulent waves rose suddenly, like a thousand layers of snow. The river is picturesque, and I don't know how many heroes have been annihilated. There is fire in the snow, and water in the fire, and the water rolls up the wood, so the impact force, even if the big ship is made of iron, it may not be able to withstand it, let alone the big ship is just ordinary wood. The big ship broke apart suddenly. The big row was divided into several rows, and the log in the front row was also knocked up by the force of the impact, and the whole row flew into the sky, and hit the big ship again like a raging wave. It was really rare for Yao Sansi to see such a magnificent scene, but he didn't have time to look at it, the boat was spinning fast, and he was so dizzy from the early turn on the boat, he almost wanted to spit out the last night's meal, but at the same time, he was glad that he hadn't eaten today . Wu Hsu couldn't control the boat's momentum, and was sweating profusely. Qiu Changfeng was on the boat, just looking at the water, suddenly he stood up and reached the stern, he stretched out his hand to steer the rudder, and swung it vigorously amidst the sound of shouting. With a clicking sound, the hardwood rudder, which was as hard as iron, broke into two pieces, the boat's whirling momentum suddenly stopped, and the savvy rowed quickly, the boat broke away from the center of the vortex, and was about to go out of danger. Yao Sansi couldn't stand still, and bumped his head against the board of the boat. Wu Xing happily said: "It's done." Seeing Qiu Chang's proficiency in Feng Shui, he couldn't help admiring him for using just the right amount of strength.But as soon as he smiled, he saw the horror on Qiu Changfeng's face. Even in the face of the mysterious and unpredictable Japanese ninja, Qiu Changfeng has always held the wisdom pearl in his hands, and has never been so eclipsed.What did he see that made him so terrified? As soon as Qiu Changfeng came out of the vortex, he raised his head and looked upstream. He found that he was always attracted by the sound of the drums, and he didn't notice that there was a big boat approaching silently upstream. Even if the wooden raft downstream collided with the stormy waves of the big ship, it could not stop the speed of the big ship upstream. But before the big boat arrived, there was a black oily light flowing down the current, which surrounded the small boat in an instant, and then flowed downstream over the small boat. Qiu Changfeng saw the black oil covering the surface of the river, and his face changed color. He couldn't wait for Wuxing to row the boat, so he rushed to Wuxing, grabbed the oars, and rowed hard. At this time, the golden armor god and Chaotian drum downstream have disappeared. The big ship broke into chaos, and the golden warrior fell into the chaos, but the two green flames that were still burning flew to the surface of the river and burned up. Qiao Sanqing's pupils contracted, and awe-inspiring expression appeared in his eyes.In the chaos of the sky, black oily light flowed from under the big ship that was smashed by him, paving the way forward. The two balls of green fire fell into the black oil, and together, they swam like fire snakes, going up against the river, connecting with the black oil flowing upstream, and in an instant, the river was covered with a sea of ​​flames—a green sea of ​​flames. The green fire not only engulfed Qiao Sanqing's row, but also surrounded the small boat of Qiu Changfeng and others. In an instant, the fire was blowing, and the smoke was billowing. Yao Sansi couldn't help but lose his face in shock.He is so adventurous, he has imagined thousands of ways to die, but he never imagined that he would be burned to death in the great river! Wu Xing shouted urgently: "Master, dive into the water." Yao Guangxiao didn't move yet, he just looked at the green fire and murmured: "Golden Armored God, Chaotian Drum, Tibetan Earth Fire..." Even if Yao Guangxiao said he would come to heaven, Yao Sansi didn't have the heart to listen.At the juncture of life and death, he looked down and felt dizzy for a while. The green fire was burning on the river, but as soon as he lowered his head, there was a wave of heat rushing towards him, making people suffocated. diving?Where is the water? Yao Sansi was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead, he shouted: "I can't dance, how can I dance?" Wuxing shouted: "You must jump, there is water under the fire. If we wait on the boat, we can only survive if we are burned to death and jump over the fire layer!" He couldn't help saying that he grabbed Yao Guangxiao and was about to jump off... Qiu Changfeng made a move, grabbed Wuxing, and said in a low voice, "You can't jump!" The comprehension was in a hurry, and he was about to break free from Qiu Changfeng's hand.Qiu Changfeng's hands are like cast iron, "Fire is the fire of Tibet, and it will be set off when holding the fire. This fire is poisonous. If the skin is stained with fire poison, the poison will invade the skin and bone. Although you can enter the water, the poison will attack. , you are still going to die underwater." Wu Hsin was stunned, and said anxiously: "Then what should I do?" If you jump, you die, if you don't jump, you die, they have a third choice? Qiu Changfeng didn't say a word, and he pushed his oars vigorously, and the boat returned to the vortex just now. Yao Sansi couldn't help shouting: "Lord Qiu, are you crazy?" They worked hard to get rid of the vortex, but they didn't want Qiu Changfeng to turn back.The oil river, the sea of ​​fire, and Qiu Changfeng entered the water vortex again, how could Yao Sansi not regard him as a lunatic? I don't want Qiu Changfeng to shout: "I've caught them all." He moved the oar suddenly and made even crazier moves.He only used a single oar to make the boat turn faster, like a spinning top in the water vortex. Yao Sansi grasped the board of the boat tightly, and shouted: "Swinger, stop." He really didn't expect that Qiu Changfeng, who was usually calm and composed, would be the first to go crazy at this critical moment. While the boat was spinning fast, Qiu Changfeng suddenly grabbed Yao Guangxiao, shouted loudly, kicked him down, and shouted, "Get into the water." There was only a loud click, and the boat broke at the waist and flew out.The black oily light on the surface of the river has long been swayed away, revealing the true colors of the river below. Wuxing and Yao Sansi were overjoyed, and only then did they understand Qiu Changfeng's intentions.He did this crazy move just to let everyone avoid the spread of the Tibetan fire before entering the water. Qiu Changfeng and the others suddenly fell into the river. After waiting for a while, the vortex slowed down a bit, and the emerald green fire swallowed it, turning the entire river into emerald green. It's dusk. The setting sun shines at night, falling on the emerald green river.The huge wooden raft was also integrated into the blue fire, and with the setting sun that was about to sink into the river, it was burning with the color of the setting sun.
