Gamers Are Fierce - Chapter 544

[Chapter 543 Giant Fish]

North of Chenzhou City, on the Lingshui River.

Three huge building boats sail on the broad river. This kind of sailboat is as tall as a city. The boat is tall and wide, with a high steel bracket at the bow. The boat is built with three layers of buildings, with crossbow windows, spear holes, and slings. It is shaped like a fort. .

The hull is painted with bright red and black colors, and

the ballistas and firearms installed on both sides of the boat can easily tear apart small wooden boats, not to mention ordinary whale sharks.

The skinny, dark-skinned sailor quickly climbed up the mast, looked into the distance, and shouted to guide the commander below

. The dozens of soldiers standing on the deck were stubborn and resolute, their faces swayed slightly with the deck.

These are soldiers from Wudewei. They are strong and sharp and well-trained.

Although they do not have extraordinary abilities, they can rely on orders and prohibitions, be brave and good at fighting, and hunt demons with horizontal swords and spears.

However, today’s protagonists are not them.

“Brother Zhu?” The

young soldier ran across the deck and came behind Zhu Xuemin and the others who were leaning on the railing overlooking Lingshui. He cupped his hands and said, “The fish demon will be here soon, and General Du is calling everyone to discuss the countermeasures.”

“… Zhu Xuemin looked at the

broad, shimmering water, and murmured, “The water in the Linghe River is so turbid…”

“Where is the monk,” the

young soldier laughed, “The Linghe River is full of mud and sand, and has always been turbid. Otherwise, there would be no saying that Lingshui is turbid and Weishui is clear.”

“Yeah.”

Zhu Xuemin nodded noncommittally, turned around, and said calmly, “Come on.

” Several days have passed since the fish demon was killed. In the past few days

, Luo Siyuan has found a lot of people.

He successfully persuaded the governor of Chenzhou to send troops to assist Luo Siyuan in slaying the demon.

It was the nephew of the governor of Chenzhou, General Du Tinghuai, who commanded the three ships this time.

Zhu Xuemin and others followed the soldiers into the high-rise building of the ship. In the cabin, General Du Tinghuai, wearing a bright light armor, sat

in the first seat. He was tall, handsome, with a beard.

Several lieutenants, and

the two rows of seats in front of them sat dozens of cultivators in Chenzhou City,

including the captain of Wudewei, the Taoist priest of Longhu Mountain, a few great monks, and those wearing purple Taoist robes, Zhuangzi scarves, and hand whisks. Rossi Yuan.

Seeing Zhu Xuemin walking into the cabin, Luo Siyuan showed him a kind smile, and

General Du Tinghuai, who was sitting in the first seat, also nodded, without expressing his lateness. Zhu Xuemin had rescued Mrs. Chenzhou’s prefect, that General Du’s aunt was kind to him.

“Church Zhu, please take a seat.”

Du Tinghuai waved his hand and asked his subordinates to pull up chairs for Zhu Xuemin and others.

When Zhu Xuemin was seated,

he coughed lightly, glanced at the monks under his eyes, and said slowly, “A few of them are just today. For the one who was invited to kill the fish demon, in

order to facilitate everyone to understand the situation, I also asked Daoist Luo to explain the origin of the fish demon.”

Luo Siyuan waved his whisk and stood up and said indifferently: “A few days ago, a ragged boy found a poor man. Dao, ask Pindao for justice for him.

According to what he said, his surname is Xu Youqi, and his father Xu Wenchai is a merchant from Nanjun.

A month ago, Xu Wenchai hired a boat to carry goods through the Lingshui River and went to the middle of the river.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew up, black clouds came down, and lightning flashed and thundered

.

A black fish head like a hill emerged from the water, and it opened its bloody mouth to bite off the cargo ship, swallowing all the people and the goods.

Xu Wencai was eaten by the fish demon, and the bad news came home. His wife and children were grief-stricken.

The eldest sons of the Xu family vowed to avenge their father, so they went to Fu County, where the accident happened on the Lingshui River, to report the crime. Luo Siyuan paused for

a moment, then glanced at the captain of Wu Dewei who was sitting across from him, and said lightly: “In the past few years, there have been many incidents of fish monsters hurting people in Fu County.

Originally, it was Wu Dewei who was patrolling the world for evil spirits. However, the Lingshui

River has a vast surface, twists and turns, and the water is deep and turbid,

making it difficult to detect and search, and the fish demon is cunning and treacherous.

Wu Dewei was dispatched several times, but never found the whereabouts of the fish demon, so he simply put it on hold – anyway, the fish demon does not appear frequently

.

When reporting to your superiors, you only need to blame all the ships destroyed by the fish demon on the reefs in the river.

Seeing that there was no success in reporting the whereabouts of the demon, the Xu family

sold their property, raised funds, and prepared to go to Longhu Mountain to seek the help of experts, kill the fish demon, and avenge their father.

Luo Siyuan sighed and said slowly, “The brothers of the Xu family left their home and took their money to stay at an inn in Fu County. Unexpectedly

, a fire broke out that night, and the inn was completely burnt down. The

eldest brothers of the Xu family All of them died, only the youngest brother Xu Youqi escaped the disaster. He came to Chenzhou and went to the poor

road. He said that on the night of the fire, he heard the sound of slashing and slashing between gold and iron. He

suspected that someone secretly set fire to kill Xu on purpose. Brothers, trying to make money.

He was afraid that it was the work of the Fu County government, so he did not dare to report to the official, and asked the poor road to seek justice for him.

Although the poor Taoist has little knowledge and weak cultivation, how can he stay out of trouble when he encounters injustice on the road.

Then he returned to Fu County with him, and by the method of penetrating seclusion, he summoned the soul of Xu’s elder brother and interrogated the case. As

expected, he found something strange. Following the clues, he found Huang Shilang, a local rich businessman in Fu County. ”

Pindao took the Longhu Mountain token to find the magistrate of Fu County, and asked him to approve the arrest of Huang Silang and bring him to trial.”

The county magistrate did not believe that

Huang Shilang was originally just a poor fisherman. A few years ago, he did not know how lucky he was. He dug up a piece of dog head gold by the river.

By selling the gold capital, he started a business. In just a few years, he He has accumulated thousands of family wealth,

and often donates money and materials to build bridges and roads in Fu County on weekdays, and has a good reputation in the local area.

After the good words of Pindao, the magistrate of Fu County dispatched a patrol to arrest Huang Silang

. Luo Siyuan said with a sad face: ”

Huang Shilang said that he had seen Lingshui River God in a dream a few years ago. The river god promised that as long as Huang Shilang paid tribute to him, he would be rewarded with wealth and honor for the rest of his life.

When Huang Shilang woke up, he was dubious. Just a few days later, his wife gave birth and gave birth to a baby girl.

The bad habit of drowning infants has existed since ancient

times. For example, the field villains in Yue and Ejian only raised two boys and one girl, and they were killed.

Often in labor, the container is used to store water, and the child is drowned before giving birth, which is called washing.

As a poor fisherman, Huang Shilang was overwhelmed with raising two sons. When he

saw a baby girl was born, he simply drove a boat to the Lingshui River, put the newborn baby girl in a wooden basin, and let it drift.

The wooden basin floated up and down in the water, and was eventually submerged by the river water.

The next morning, Huang Shilang picked up a piece of dog-head gold the size of a human head floating on the shore. ”
