Bang!

A body with a swollen face and all its clothes was dragged from the turbid river onto a boat by several people.

"What a pity, I don't know where the victims came from upstream.

Seeing that he didn't have a single piece of clothing on him, he might have been frozen to death in the ice and snow in the winter, and he took off all his clothes before he died.

When the Zhuo River thawed, it floated down the river with the melting water.

These lonely ghosts who don’t know where their home is, don’t even have any relatives to take care of their bodies, and may not even be able to find their way home.”

"Even if no family members pay, we have done a good deed and will send it to the charity village later.

To avoid causing any trouble after this untimely death."

"Don't worry, Thirteenth Master, we all know the rules."

This group of people all wore red hats and had a big rooster tied to the bow of the boat. They were clearly a group of corpse fishermen on the Zhuo River!

Not only do they go into the river to fish out corpses when someone pays them, but they will also fish them up if they encounter some ghosts on the water, treating them as a good deed.

This prevents the corpse from remaining resentful and turning into a murderous evil monster on the river.

However, the leader, Ma Shisan, frowned at the increasingly gloomy sky and murmured to himself:

"The weather is suddenly not very good today. I'm afraid the business won't go through."

There are taboos in all walks of life along the Zhuo River.

The taboos of the boatmen on the Zhuohe River: There are three dragon gates on the Zhuohe River as boundaries, and the ferry cannot cross the boundaries. Once the boundary is crossed, the boat will capsize immediately and people will die.

The taboos for corpse collectors are even more stringent:

First, it is not allowed to go out of the boat to retrieve the body during thunderstorms; second, after the same corpse has been unsuccessfully retrieved from the boat three times, it cannot be retrieved for the fourth time;

Third, every time you go out of the boat to retrieve corpses, you must use a big red rooster to worship the King of Zhuohe (the one-eyed stone man).

There is an iron rule for those who fish for corpses. Once it starts to rain, they have to return to the shore immediately, otherwise their lives may be at risk.

However, the sudden accident was far more unexpected than he imagined.

"Look! It's clear! The water in the river is clear!!!"

A panicked shout caused everyone on the boat to tremble suddenly, holding on to the edge of the boat and looking up towards the upper reaches of the Zhuo River.

However, he saw that after the dark yellow turbidity full of sediment flowed around him, the water flowing down from the upstream gradually became clear, and in a moment, he could almost see the bottom of the river directly.

According to common sense, clear water should be a good thing.

But these men who have been dealing with the Zhuohe River all their lives always remember the most well-known one among the many precepts related to the Zhuohe River.

——If the turbid river clears suddenly, there will be a big disaster!

"Quick! Everyone, get ashore quickly!"

While Ma Shisan roared, he was the first to pick up the oar and paddle towards the shore.

The others did not dare to delay at all, and they all hurriedly rowed with all their strength, driving the corpse boat to rush to the nearest river bank like an arrow.

Wow.

The water in the river is getting clearer, but the water level in the turbid river is rising like crazy.

In fact, the river water has been rising rapidly since a few days ago, but it has never risen as fast as it did today.

At this time of year, there will be spring floods on the Zhuo River.

The main source of water is not rainfall, but snowmelt in the mountains upstream.

The thick snow in some places may be completely melted away by the warm spring breeze in a few days.

The melted snow water flows into the rivers of the major tributaries, and then merges into the Zhuo River, rushing towards the sea.

Especially during last year's long winter, not to mention the vast upper reaches of the Zhuo River, even Qiongzhou experienced brief heavy snowfalls that closed the mountains.

It is conceivable that as the ice and snow melt upstream, it will trigger a terrible chain reaction.

But today's surge still makes people feel a bit caught off guard.

Fortunately, the reaction speed of these corpse hunters was fast enough.

When they desperately rowed the boat to the shore and rushed up the river bank in a mess, a big wave rolled up behind them, and in an instant the corpse boat and the body on the boat were all swept to the bottom of the river.

Unfortunately, most people further downstream are not as lucky as them.

As the clear water flowed, huge waves rolled up on the river, like waves rushing down by thousands of troops, swallowing up all the ships that dared to stay on the Zhuohe River in just a blink of an eye.

At this moment, there was no driftwood on the entire Zhuo River.

at the same time.

More than ten miles away from the mouth of the Zhuo River, on the sea farther than the yellow-blue boundary.

In a mist-filled, empty place, a voice suddenly came out:

"The tide is coming! Prepare for war!"

If there is an extremely skilled Feng Shui master looking at the Qi here, he may be able to vaguely see the military Qi rising above his head.

It is round and long and black, with red air in the middle, and white air behind the black air. This is the air of ambush!

Passing through an invisible barrier that looks like mist, you can see thousands of large and small warships parked on the sea.

The black sails gathered into a thick dark cloud, which seemed to lower the sea surface by three inches!

Most of them were still burning with faint will-o'-the-wisps, and they were clearly hundreds of ghost ships.

These were all the military forces under Wang Yuan and Zhou Jinghuan, and they were all piled up.

Wang Yuan himself couldn't help but sigh that this "ghost way" method is just convenient.

As long as the enemy cannot kill you, there is a high probability that they will join you and make yourself stronger and stronger.

It is said that there is a joke like this.

Swordsman: Brother, I swear to my sword that I will avenge your death!

Sharpshooter: My bow will help you!

Swordsman: And my knife!

Ghost Road: And your dead brother.

The enemies are all transportation captains. Without the selfless dedication of these kind people, who dedicated the rest of their lives to 007, Wang Yuan's strength would never have expanded to this extent.

And the biggest gain among them was the [Ghost General] Ling Xiao who was standing next to him like a door god in the fourth realm of "The Art of War".

Wang Yuan secretly praised his wise decision.

The four innate magical powers of [Paanlong Art of War] are: [Breathing Clouds and Depressing Qi], [Shouting Thunder and Making Sounds], [Flying to the Eight Extremes], and [Wandering Around the Four Underworlds].

Zhou Jinghuan's innate magical power is [Wandering around the four underworlds], and this [Ghost General]'s is one of them [Spitting Clouds and Depressing Qi].

When he opens his mouth, he can spit out a sea of ​​clouds covering an area of ​​more than ten miles.

In addition to being a giant illusion, it also has a wide range of amplification capabilities, which greatly improves Taoist soldiers in terms of speed, strength, recovery ability, etc.

Used at this moment, he can easily cover up the navy and pirate coalition under his command.

They still think it's not safe.

He also used the [Nine Dragons and Nine Phoenixes Crown] (Chapter 200) bought from the Great Flame Treasure Ship to consume the dragon energy in Dengzhou Mansion, and activated [The Art of Sheji: Harmony with Light and Dust].

Make sure that the [Cyclops] cannot see them even if they don't look carefully.

"Nine Dragon Crown, Nine Phoenix Crown, human treasures, if worn by people with great merit, can forcibly command the dragon energy within a certain range to perform the [Art of Sheji].

If it is worn by a couple with emperor and empress status, it will be combined into the [Nine Dragons and Nine Phoenixes Crown], which will have the best effect!"

Logically speaking.

Most of the dragon energy in Dengzhou Mansion is concentrated on Wang Yuan and Zhou Jinghuan. Only by letting them use it can the best effect be achieved.

But because they had serious differences on the key issue of who should wear the [Phoenix Crown], in the end it could only be used by Wang Yuan and Huang Wu.

Although Huang Wu's accumulation of Yin De is far slower than that of Wang Yuan, who is the main force.

But having experienced countless great events together, she is not far away from lighting up her own [Golden Wheel of Merit].

Now it seems that the effect of this [She Ji Technique] is quite good.

The sea not far away from the fleet was completely dark. From here to the mouth of the sea, there were all kinds of fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs, large and small, everywhere.

But no one could find that there was an ambush hidden around them.

In fact, it was a few days ago.

Whether in the sea or in the turbid river, large numbers of fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs gradually gathered at the mouth of the sea driven by blood instinct.

Among them, those spirits with enlightened intelligence are the most important.

There is only one opportunity every thirty-six years to jump over the dragon gate and change one's fate against the will of heaven, and no one is willing to let it go.

Although none of them have seen those seniors who jumped over [Dragon Gate], and none of them have ever returned to their hometown to visit relatives.
