Then Master Jiu picked up the Artemisia bamboo, forming a protective net around the boat.Most of the birds that rushed into the protective net were killed by the bamboo wormwood.
A few water crows that survived the bamboo wormwood were also shot off by my slingshot.
In the process of me and Jiu Ye fighting against the water crow, I fought and he fought, the cooperation complemented each other and the effect was excellent.
And my slingshot is getting better and better.What Chuan Shanjia said is right, after piercing that layer of window paper, I will be handy.
Shooting projectiles at these water crows and practicing at a target in a hotel are completely different concepts.
Here, both mentality and technique are extremely important.It is under the tempering of this kind of actual combat that my slingshot skills have been improved the most.
This is definitely one of the gains I have made this time following Master Jiu out of the river.
Under the repeated attacks of Master Jiu and I, most of those water crows were shot down, and the remaining dozen or so didn't listen to orders anymore and quickly fled away.
It seems that although this kind of water crow has become a bit evil because of eating these carrion all the year round, it is still a kind of bird after all.When they encounter a threat, the first thing they care about is their own safety.
Although the Jiangpizi's cry continued, the water crows still stopped listening to their orders, and flew clean after a while.
Standing at the stern of the boat with bamboo wormwood in his hand, Master Jiu, facing Jiang Pizi in the river, shouted loudly: "Sheng Yu and I have already negotiated a dispute with you. Aren't you afraid of Sheng Yu's punishment?"
Those Jiang Pizi seemed to understand Jiu Ye's words.
They temporarily gave up and went to lift Tang Ji. Tang Ji's body slowly sank into the water again, and was pulled by the hook of the king of hell, suspended at a place about one meter below the water surface.
Jiang Pizi's bodies were hidden in the water, but their heads came out of the water, staring at me and Master Jiu in unison.
Seeing this scene, it was actually quite scary, because more and more jiangpizi surrounded us in all directions. Our ship was not only at the stern, but also at the bow and side of the ship. There were probably hundreds of jiangpizi.
Their heads are small, and they are densely distributed on the river.The light in their eyes looks very vicious. Although they haven't attacked yet, it's enough to make people get goosebumps all over their bodies.
After Master Jiu finished speaking, although those Jiang Pizi reacted a little and seemed to be afraid of this saint, they didn't retreat and still surrounded the boat.
Under such circumstances, our ship is still unable to proceed, and Master Jiu cannot drive the ship back.
I know that Yan Wang hooks the corpses at night, and must return before dawn.The same is true of the agreement between Master Jiu and Uncle Third. If we delay here for a while, I'm afraid we won't be able to return to shore on time.
However, although those Jiang Pizi no longer lifted Tang Ji up, they were not too reconciled to let it go, so none of them left.
Master Jiu snorted coldly, put down Zhuhao, and picked up the ghost whip.
"If you don't eat the toast, you will take fine wine. You think I am a vegetarian? I will say it one last time. If you don't get out of the way, you will bear the consequences."
As he said that, Master Jiu shook the ghost whip in the air three times.
Jiuye used the whip much more smoothly than I did, and the whip whistle exploded in the air with great momentum.Pa, pa, pa... It was like three thunderclaps.
Sure enough, the Jiang Pizi in the water began to stir up, they kept swimming underwater, and showed their heads from time to time.Forced by Jiu Ye's aura, he wanted to leave but was unwilling.
I feel that this is the only thing Jiuye can do.If these Jiang Pizi didn't leave, even if Master Jiu moved out of Shengyu, he might not be able to solve the problem in front of him.
Chapter 1692 Water Corpse Qi
All we can do now is to be on full alert and keep a close watch on the movement of the surrounding waters.The slingshot in my hand is also loaded with projectiles, ready to be sent out at any time.
At this moment, for some unknown reason, Jiang Pizi, who had been lingering around the boat, suddenly dived from the surface of the water to the bottom of the water.
For a moment, as far as we could see the water surface, the water was churning and the spray was splashing.
Jiang Pizi actually started to retreat from the water.
"Jiu Ye, they are afraid of your whip and started to retreat." I thought it was Jiu Ye's ghost whip that had an effect, and finally scared Jiang Pizi back.
But Master Jiu said in a deep voice, "They weren't scared off by my whip, it was because of that..."
I heard Jiuye's tone was wrong, looked up, and found that Jiuye didn't pay attention to the underwater situation, but looked towards the water level.
I also followed Master Jiu's line of sight, and found that the black mist brought over by the water crow did not dissipate, but became heavier and heavier.
It turned out that the mist was only distributed in the air, but now it is getting lower and lower, and it has pressed to the surface of the water not far away.
And these black mist are gradually spreading towards our boat.
"Master Jiu, what is that? Jiang Pizi was scared away by the fog?"
"Water corpse air." Master Jiu said only three words with a serious expression.
"Water corpse gas?" Is there such a saying?I only know that some ancient tombs have corpse gas deposits, which are harmful to the human body.A clever tomb explorer will skillfully avoid or dissolve these corpses.
I've heard of it, and I've encountered it.But what's the matter with this water corpse.
But I quickly figured it out, the water corpse aura is not difficult to understand as the name suggests, it must be a kind of gas emitted by corpses in the water, and it is also a kind of corpse aura in the final analysis.
It's just that I didn't expect that this water corpse aura would appear in such a way.If you don't know, isn't this just a cloud of black mist?
I had some doubts in my heart, and Master Jiu quickly gave me an explanation: "You can't see the water corpse aura, those black mist are just a way for the water corpse aura to gather together. The water corpse aura has melted In the black mist, it is poisonous. Jiang Pizi is not afraid of us, but he is afraid of this corpse aura. I think this water corpse aura should be brought by Tang Ji. Although Tang Ji was hooked by the King of Hades, she is A thousand-year-old corpse has a survival instinct. Just when her body was threatened, she attracted the water corpse air around her. But she didn't understand that the water corpse air can scare Jiang Pizi away, but the two of us also I will be harmed by the water corpse gas..."
Due to the urgency of the situation, Master Jiu quickly told him what he knew.
I probably understood that these water corpse auras are the same as normal corpse auras, invisible to the naked eye.But those corpse auras can't form by themselves, they can only exist with the help of these black mist.
Now the mist is mixed with the air of water corpses, rolling in like waves, not only scaring Jiang Pizi away, but also trapping Jiu Ye and me here.Corpse aura is everywhere, and we naturally cannot escape. If we want to rush out, we must break through the encirclement of these corpse aura.
"Yangzi, Lord Jiu is sorry for you. I didn't expect this kind of situation. I might have to renege on my promise, and I can't bring you safely to your third uncle..."
Master Jiu said suddenly, with a sad tone.
I took a look at Master Jiu. Although Master Jiu is a little older, it can be seen that no matter when he was young or now, he is a man of strong bones.And he is capable, never afraid of anything.
But now he is obviously facing a bigger threat. If he is asked to pick up the ghost whip, whether it is to fight ghosts and corpses or those evil things, he will not be ambiguous.But those water corpse auras swept in, making him unable to use them.
Everyone has to breathe, even if you can hold your breath for a while, you still can't get out of the siege of the water corpse.Because that kind of corpse gas does not need to rely on your breath to enter your body, they are pervasive.
If we can't think of a solution immediately, we will soon be buried in that black mist.
I also understand this truth, and understand the meaning of Jiuye's words better.
In fact, those fogs are getting closer and closer to us.It is easy for them to be attracted by Tang Ji's body, but it is difficult to disperse them.
Is there no way to do this?
The third uncle is still waiting for us to return safely on the bank. If I just die on the river like this, I wonder if he will regret letting me take this trip.
Uncle Three suddenly came to my mind, but a thought suddenly came to my mind.
When I was leaving, my third uncle insisted that I take the five emperors ceremony Buddha lamp, which must have a purpose.Master Jiu used that lamp to save me once, so can't I use it again?
The Buddha Lamp of the Five Emperors is very effective, it can dispel the darkness, and maybe it can also dispel the water corpse energy.
"Jiu Ye, where is the five emperors' Buddha lamp?" I asked loudly.
"It's still in your backpack, the cabin." Master Jiu also understood what I was going to do, and hurried into the cabin, and invited out the five emperors ceremony Buddha lamp.
"Li Yang, will this work?"
Although Master Jiu also knew the magic of the five emperors' ritual Buddha lamps, he also expressed doubts about whether he could dispel the water corpse aura.
"No problem." I said firmly.
Because you want to dispel the water corpse gas, it should not be enough to just light the five emperors ritual Buddha lamp.Chu Liuyan taught me a Vulcan spell, which was used on this kind of lamp.When it comes to chanting mantras, I myself require firm belief.
I remember when Chu Liuyan taught me the Vulcan Mantra, he told me that the magic of the five emperors ritual lamp is because the wick covers the relics of eminent monks, so the light is similar to the flame of the incense candle in front of the Buddha's altar.Can get rid of all obstacles in the world.It can also drive away evil spirits and evil spirits.After breaking through the barrier qi, everything that is invisible to the naked eye can no longer be hidden.
I think there are many kinds of evil spirits and evil spirits.Although the water corpse qi we encountered today is not good, it must be attributed to the yin and evil qi.
When we set off, my third uncle also told me to use the Vulcan mantra to activate the magic lamp when necessary.
It's just that I didn't have a clue when the "necessary time" I said to my third uncle was.Maybe it was the third uncle who said it casually.
Now I have changed my previous opinion. The decision of the third uncle to let me wear the five emperors ritual Buddha lamp is simply a life-saving decision.Now should be the time for that.
I put the Buddha lamp on the bow of the boat, facing the direction we are heading back to.
The black mist mixed with water corpses is getting closer and closer.
Chapter 1693
I didn't dare to delay any longer, so I hurriedly sat cross-legged in front of the Buddha lamp, and according to what Chu Liuyan taught me, I put my hands together, interlaced my fingers, made a mudra, and secretly recited the Vulcan mantra, and finally opened my mouth and said: "The chaos is mighty, and one energy is divided. The golden light is upright, named Yuqing. The fire of the three clears is the supreme nature. The yellow energy in the center is transformed into five emperors. The green and white shoot together, and the precious lamp is set up. The karmic fire is extinguished, and the divine fire is rising... Urgent As urgent as a law, start..."
I pointed at the lamp with both hands, and saw that under the urging of the Vulcan mantra, the Buddha's hair on the Five Emperors Ceremony Buddha lamp emitted a colorful halo and rose rapidly.
The multicolored light began to spread from around the lamp, and the area became larger and larger.
In less than half a minute, the halo enveloped the coffin boat we were in.
At the same time, the surrounding black mist had also spread over, completely surrounding the boat.
But the multicolored light on the Buddha lamp was like a sharp sword, splitting the black mist instantly.
Master Jiu was very good at judging the situation. Seeing this, he quickly picked up the bamboo wormwood, tapped it on the water a few times, and the coffin boat started again, and rushed forward against the river.
And the multicolored light from the Buddha lamp has been covering the boat like a protective umbrella.
The black mist scattered around was also washed away by these colorful lights.
Master Jiu kept his hands on, and the bamboo wormwood hit the water frequently. Although the coffin boat was going upstream, it was extremely fast.
The mist mixed with water corpses is getting thinner and thinner.
After a few minutes, the multicolored lights on the Five Emperors Ceremony Buddha Lamp were no longer as gorgeous as they were at the beginning, and the color gradually dimmed.
"call……"
Master Jiu finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, let's walk out of Nanguandu."
I looked back and found that there was still a lot of black mist in the water behind me.But the waterway in front of us has cleared up.
Fortunately, not far from the stern, Tang Ji who was underwater was still hooked by Hades.
Master Jiu's words proved that we have finally come out of the gate of hell.
At this time, there was less than an hour before dawn, and I asked Master Jiu: "Is there any problem with the rest of the road?"
Master Jiu nodded: "No problem, look over there..."
Saying that, Master Jiu pointed at the river surface with bamboo wormwood.
I saw a faint light shining on the surface of the river in the distance.
"Is there a boat?" I looked at the light like a ship's light on a boat.
Master Jiu smiled: "What kind of boat? That's the lamp I showed your third uncle."
"Is that the lamp on the bank? But it's obviously on the river."
"You'll know in a while." Master Jiu said, picked up the bamboo wormwood again, and drove the boat towards the light.
Soon I discovered that no matter how we walked, the light always stopped on the river, and the distance was never close.
After leaving Nanguandu, there were no accidents on the river.Even if there were some minor accidents, these troubles due to natural factors were not accidents in the eyes of Master Jiu.He skillfully drove the coffin boat, avoiding the eddies and torrents on the water surface, and moved forward smoothly all the way.
I understood that the light that appeared in the distance was guiding Master Jiu.
Finally, the lantern that was parked on the river slowly moved towards the shore, and the distance was getting closer and closer.
From a distance, I saw a figure dangling under the light.
You don't need to get close to me to recognize it, that person is the third uncle.
He should have also seen the boat and us on board, waving desperately towards us.
Jiu Ye quickly leaned the boat up, approached the river bank as fast as he could, and fastened the cable.
"You are finally back. This is a person who is dying of anxiety. I said He Jiu, you said that your timing is too accurate, right? You won't come back before the hour, right? Do you know that I stay here and have been waiting for you all the time?" Staring at the river, my eyes are blurred..."
The third uncle must have been very worried about us, so he was very excited to see us come back, dancing and shouting non-stop.
But he soon discovered that Master Jiu and I were not in a very high mood, so he should know that we were in trouble.
Until we pulled the boat to the shore, Master Jiu pulled the rope at the stern, and the Underwater Hook rushed out of the water.
Tang Ji's body, which was hooked by the Hades hook, did not know when it got off the hook.And I took a look, and I didn't see Tang Ji in the nearby waters.
But seeing Master Jiu was not surprised, I guess he should know where Tang Ji went.
The third uncle was helping out on the shore, brought me and Master Jiu to the shore, and said repeatedly: "It's fine, Master Jiu, is everything going well?"
Master Jiu nodded: "Don't worry. There is no danger. Sheng Yu's business is done. You and Yangzi go home first, and I will deal with it here for the last time. I will go back after dawn. The matter you found me, I basically have an idea, and we will set off when I get back."
"Master Jiu, how about I stay and help you?" Third Uncle said.
Master Jiu waved his hand: "No need. The rules of Yan Wanggou..."
"What nonsense rules. You are the only one left in Yan Wanggou, and you are still poor. Forget it, nephew, let's ignore him, go back and wait for the letter."
