Chapter 1214

Qin Laowu almost died under the sword of the man in white who was neither human nor ghost. Although he was always tough, he was also a little timid at this time. The three boatmen were so frightened that they trembled all over and hid aside in fear.

They just wanted to escape back to the ship, as far away from Motian Ridge as possible. So when Xiao Dong said that he had to go to the ridge to get wood, the four of them were a little unhappy.

But at this time, except for the fire fold in Li Qiufeng's hand, there was no light at all. Therefore, although the faces of Qin Laowu and the three boatmen were full of horror, Xiao Dong could not see it. After he finished speaking,

Hearing that no one answered, he only said that everyone was willing to go to the top of Motian Ridge with him. When he was about to speak, he suddenly heard a slight "clucking" sound. His heart trembled, and the long sword in his right hand was placed across his chest.

He stepped forward, made a sword move with his left hand, and quickly glanced around. However, he could only hear the mountain breeze, but no enemy made a sneak attack.

Xiao Dong was startled, wondering if there were any strange birds and beasts in the mountains that could make such strange noises? But as he listened attentively, the strange "clucking" sounds came and went, and they didn't seem to be too far away from him.

Yuan Xiao Dong was even more surprised and couldn't help but said to Li Qiufeng: "Master Zhu, did you hear any strange noises?"

Li Qiufeng reached out and pulled out the long knife stuck on the ground, and said: "Although the man in white was defeated, I think that he was not driven into the deep valley by us, but jumped into the valley to escape. I guess this man is against

The terrain of Motian Ridge is very familiar, but we are not familiar with the place, so we are very vulnerable to this person's plot. Fortunately, he was injured, and he was only focused on escaping at this time, so he definitely had no time to conduct a sneak attack. Therefore, we might as well go to Motian Ridge as soon as possible.

Come on, get the wood and rush back to the dock. If we delay it any longer, we may miss our important trip to Fuso."

Xiao Dong was quite satisfied when he heard that Li Qiufeng agreed with his idea, but then he thought about it and asked him if he heard strange noises, but this person answered the question in a wrong way. Isn't it strange? He was suspicious.

He wanted to ask, but he heard Li Qiufeng say: "Brother Qin Wu, that man in white is definitely not a ghost, but a living person. It's just that this man has weird swordsmanship and is a martial arts expert. Why is such a martial arts master here?

The magic tricks on Motianling are really puzzling. But don’t worry, Fifth Brother Qin, he has been hit by a hidden weapon below and will come to stop us again soon."

When Li Qiufeng said this, he paused for a moment, and then continued: "Even if he has accomplices, I have ways to deal with him. Brother Qin Wu doesn't need to be scared."

Xiao Dong felt a little unhappy, thinking to himself that I am your leader, so I should be the one to say these words of comfort. Although the boy named Zhu is good at martial arts, he does not understand the superiority and inferiority, and he dares to usurp the guest. It is really abominable.

pole!

But when he was thinking about it, he suddenly realized that the strange "clucking" sound had disappeared, and he was startled. At this moment, he only heard Qin Laowu say: "Master Zhu is right. With Master Zhu's help, it's really possible."

Evil ghost, we have nothing to fear!"

After Qin Laowu finished speaking, he put the machete back into its sheath and said, "Let's keep walking."

The three boatmen had just seen Li Qiufeng attack the man in white, and they secretly thought that Mr. Zhu didn't show his true identity, but fired a few hidden weapons and injured the man in white. With his help, there would be no accidents

What a risk. The three of them became emboldened. After hearing what Qin Laowu said, they all agreed.

Xiao Dong suddenly realized at this time that the strange noise he just heard was the sound made by Qin Laowu and the three boatmen when their teeth were clashing in fear. At this time, the four of them were no longer frightened after listening to Li Qiufeng's words.

The sound of teeth clashing disappeared. Xiao Dong became more and more afraid of Li Qiufeng. He secretly thought that Qin Laowu and others were so convinced of Li Qiufeng. If something happened on the way to Fusang, he was afraid that these people would only listen to Zhu.

This kid is instructing me. I have to use this kid a lot, so I have to be patient for a few days. But after I'm done, I must not let this kid live in the world!

Everyone walked towards the top of the ridge again. The huozhezi in Li Qiufeng's hand had been burning for a long time, and now only half of it was left. Qin Laowu took out the huozhezi from his arms and shined it. But he had been walking at the front just now.

Although his courage was restored at this time, he was not as fearless as before. He was afraid that another enemy would make a sneak attack, so he followed Li Qiufeng closely.

After walking for another stick of incense, everyone suddenly felt that there seemed to be a hazy light in front of their eyes, and they stopped in unison. When everyone looked up, they realized that they had reached the flat place on the top of the ridge. There was no longer a hillside blocking their eyes.

The night sky appeared above everyone's heads. However, it was a gloomy night, the light was extremely dark, and the sky looked hazy, just a very dim gray shadow.

Everyone stopped and looked around. At this time, the mountain wind became more and more fierce, and they could vaguely see more than a dozen rugged hills all around. Qin Laowu raised the fire folding piece high and said: "I heard those people said that the mountains

The top is the execution ground for red missions in Dongliao County, and the wood and bricks purchased by Wang Yuanwai must also be piled here."

Xiao Dong held the long sword in his left hand and glanced to the left and right sides to see where the wood and bricks were placed. However, the surroundings were too dark and he couldn't see anything. So he said in a deep voice: "Everyone split up and look for it."

Look for it, and if you find the wood, you must immediately alert everyone."

Qin Laowu and Li Qiufeng had no objections. The three boatmen were a little scared when they heard that this was the execution ground for murderers. So when they searched separately, the three of them stayed close together for fear of being alone and encountering ghosts.

But something is very wrong.

After a while, I suddenly heard Qin Laowu shout happily: "Here it is!"

Everyone hurriedly looked for the sound and gathered together. They saw an undulating black shadow on the north side of the top of the ridge. The tall ones were more than two feet tall, and the short ones were five or six feet tall. Qin Laowu stood under the black shadow.

, raised the fire folding piece high. After everyone gathered around him, Qin Laowu said: "So much wood and bricks will cost at least seven or eight thousand taels of silver. This Wang Yuanwai is so generous, it is really surprising

admire."

By the light of the fire stick in Qin Laowu's hand, Xiao Dong saw large and small logs neatly stacked in front of him. There were thousands of logs at a glance. There were even more bricks, tiles and stones, all piled next to the logs. Xiao Dong

Dong was surprised and happy, and said to Qin Laowu: "Brother Qin, do you have any suitable wood?"

Qin Laowu chuckled and said: "With so much wood, let alone making one mast, it's no problem to make ten or twenty masts!"

Xiao Dong was relieved and said to Qin Laowu: "Then what are we waiting for? Please ask Brother Qin to find suitable wood as soon as possible, and then we will rush back to the dock."

Qin Laowu agreed and called the three boatmen over. The four of them gathered next to the pile of wood and searched carefully. It only took half a stick of incense to find two pieces of wood. Qin Laowu chuckled and said:

"These two pieces of wood are high-quality wood, much better than the masts on our ship. We will get them on the ship, and then find a carpenter to make them into masts. There will be an extra mast on the ship. If there is any damage,

You can replace it at any time, so you have no worries.”

As Qin Laowu spoke, he and the three boatmen worked together to take out the two pieces of wood from the wood pile. Each of the two pieces of wood was more than two feet long. Qin Laowu scratched his head and said with some embarrassment:

"Master Xiao, these two pieces of wood are very heavy. It will take a lot of effort to carry them back to the ship. If I had known this, I would have called the other two brothers..."

Before Qin Laowu finished speaking, Xiao Dong rushed to say: "To avoid a long night and many dreams, we must carry the wood down immediately. You four have worked hard. As long as you get the wood on the boat, I will give each of you twenty taels of silver!"

Qin Laowu's eyes lit up, and he secretly thought that if he could earn twenty more taels of silver, not to mention carrying these two pieces of wood onto the boat, even two more pieces of wood would not be a problem. He turned to the three boatmen.

Said: "Did you hear what Mr. Xiao said? Let's take action now."

The three boatmen were extremely happy when they heard that Xiao Dong wanted to give him twenty taels of silver. They had been sailing with Qin Laowu for many years, and it was common for them to carry goods. Although these two pieces of wood were heavy and long, it was quite difficult to carry them.

It took a lot of effort, but it was not difficult for the three of them. After Qin Laowu gave the order, the three boatmen tied the two ends of the wood with the prepared ropes. Qin Laowu also stepped forward to help. After a while

, two pieces of wood have been tied together, and the four people were divided into two groups, grabbing the front and rear ends of the two pieces of wood respectively. Qin Laowu said "pick up", and the four people steadily lifted the wood and carried it.

It didn't take much effort to put it on the shoulders. Seeing this, Xiao Dong finally felt relieved and said, "Let's go down to the ridge right now."
