Moments before entering the water, they saw three speedboats heading towards them.
There were several hooligans on each boat, each holding a long pole with a pointed fishing pole on one end, and they were rushing over shouting and cursing.
When they got into the water, Kou Zhong knew that Xu Ziling's water quality was not as good as his own, so he dragged him to the bottom of the huge ship and dived. Only by using the cover of the huge ship could he have a chance to avoid the enemy's hook. As for how to breathe, he still had to do it at this time.
Calculated.
When the two of them dived deep into the bottom of the ship, they had no breath left in their chests. They wanted to float up, but they bumped into the bottom of the ship. They were at a loss.
They were about to die of suffocation, but suddenly regained their breath. The two of them were overjoyed and swam to the stern of the boat together.
When this breath of new breath is almost exhausted, another breath will automatically come out of the body.
This time, both of them noticed that this strange breath did not fall from the sky, but was the true energy in the body, which was endless, which made them extremely useful.
At this time, they even forgot how the enemy wanted to deal with them.
Xu Ziling felt that the sole of his right foot was extremely hot, while the sole of his left foot was filled with cold air. The true energy in his body was surging and constantly flowing, so he naturally followed the patterns in "The Secret of Immortality" to activate the true energy. At the same time, his eyes became bright and he could see clearly.
The dark bottom of the ship on the sea surface is of different sizes and shapes, like a pattern.
Kou Zhong's situation is similar to his, but his true energy starts from the Tianling point on his head.
One after another, they swam slowly in the four-foot deep water.
Every time the limbs are stretched, the true energy in the body circulates, and the coordination is perfect.
There is an endless supply of true energy, and there is no feeling of stuffiness at all.
I don’t know how long they swam, but they climbed ashore on a beach far away from the pier.
The sun was going down now, and the two of them were lying side by side on the beach, laughing together.
Kou Zhong gasped and said: "It turns out that our internal strength is so powerful that we can swim for such a long time without taking a breath. Maybe we can swim to the other side of the sea without even taking a boat."
Xu Ziling enjoyed the afterglow of the sunset, stretched and said, "Now I feel full of strength. It's a good time to steal things."
Kou Zhong became excited. He sat up and looked around. He saw the pier at least four or five miles away, with a faintly raised sail. But this side was surrounded by barren mountains and ridges, with no trace of people. He smiled and said: "Today
We will swim back in the evening and try to sneak into the pier behind the salt warehouse to steal the salt, and then transport it away in a boat. If someone catches up, we will jump into the water with a splash and play hide and seek with them under the water.
."
Xu Ziling also sat up, stretched his arms and legs and said: "Now I can kill a few tigers when I see them. That lady is so weird. She talks nicely and then suddenly drives us away. Humph! Don't we look good?"
Why do other women, except Sister Susu, seem to dislike us when they see us?"
Kou Zhong put his arms around his shoulders and smiled: "The reason is very simple, because they are afraid that they will fall in love with us and be unable to extricate themselves, ha!"
After the two of them laughed to comfort themselves for a while, the sun disappeared under the western mountain.
But this time, their clothes were completely dry.
When they looked at each other, they both felt that the other had disheveled hair and disheveled clothes, looking like two little beggars.
Suddenly the two of them didn't want to go back to the water.
Kou Zhong quickly found an excuse and said: "We will find out how to get to the waterway tomorrow before going to steal salt. Now while the city gate is still open, we can go into the city to find a decent hotel, and then have a good meal. Then we will slowly study us."
The first big business to make a fortune."
Xu Ziling didn't want to go back into the water immediately and nodded in agreement.
The two walked towards the city gate. They felt that their bodies were at least half lighter than usual, their speed was also increased by half, their ears and eyes were much clearer than usual, and the darkness seemed to them to be no different from the day.
Of course they didn't know that when they accidentally hit the bottom of the water just now, they actually entered the Taoist realm of endless internal Qi circulation, and got their first glimpse of the secrets of superior Qigong.
Although there are countless monks, there are not many who can reach the state of inner breath.
As the saying goes, "External Qi is not exhausted, and internal breath is not generated."
If they were not in such a special environment under the water, and without the guidance of a master, the two boys might not be able to break through this difficulty in their entire lives. But by chance, they finally took this extremely important step in the martial arts.
A stubborn stone turns into a beautiful jade, transcending age limits.
The two of them took a cold bath in the inn and came to the street, only to realize that the night here was even more lively than that of Yangzhou City. The traffic along the road was very busy.
The women on the street were even more gorgeous, and they seemed not to be afraid of men's eyes. The two of them couldn't stop watching, and they didn't know how happy they were.
After filling their stomachs, the two of them got excited and went to crowded places.
When Kou Zhong was looking at the situation inside the door of one of the brothels, Xu Ziling suddenly pulled him to a nearby side alley, pointed to the opposite street and said: "That's Lao Liu! Ah! That guy next to him is not a deputy from the Haisha Gang."
Is helmsman Tan Yong?"
Kou Zhong looked around in astonishment. He saw a group of Daxi gathered in a shop across the street, everyone carrying weapons. Two of them were Tan Yong and Lao Liu, standing together. The former seemed to be giving orders to Lao Liu, and the latter
They kept nodding, while Xie Feng and Chen Gui stood behind them.
Looking more clearly, the shop turned out to be a medical clinic, and it seemed like a nest for them to stay here.
Xu Ziling asked: "What are they talking about?"
The two of them couldn't help but prick up their ears to listen. Suddenly Tan Tou's voice sounded faintly in their ears: "The leader will come at three o'clock tonight. It's really strange why the bodies of those two little devils can't be found."
?"
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were startled at the same time, not expecting to hear Tan Yong's words.
There was a distance of more than three feet between the two parties. The street was noisy and noisy again, but the only words that could be heard were Tan Yong's words.
The two of them were very excited and wanted to listen again, but they couldn't hear anything.
Kou Zhong said happily: "It seems that our skills have greatly improved. It's really strange that Lao Liu and Tan Yong colluded to harm us from the beginning. Needless to say, Lao Liu pretended to be the villain, while Tan Yong pretended to be the good guy to rescue us."
Later, it was Tan Yong who instigated Lao Liu to kill us."
Xu Ziling was thoughtful and asked in surprise: "At that time, they still didn't know that we were martial arts masters and could beat Old Liu to the point where he couldn't get up. What did they see in us?"
With his quick thinking, Kou Zhong was still puzzled and said in a low voice: "Ignore what they want to do, they just want to harm us. All heroes must take revenge. Tan Yong may be troublesome, but Lao Liu
It's easy to eat, so we'll stick with him, and as long as he's alone, we can teach him a lesson and rob his mother's purse, or help us buy two sharp knives, so we don't have to worry about encountering people again."
Xu Ziling was not only not afraid, but also found it very interesting. Before he could agree, Old Liu had already walked out of the shop, followed by two people, and looked to the left.
Their eyes fell on the big knives hanging on the waists of the two men behind them. They felt that its temptation was far greater than the courage to deal with three people. They gritted their teeth and followed.
The three of them, Lao Liu, were walking struttingly on the street, and passers-by were avoiding the way. It was obvious that they were people who were feared by everyone.
When they met a group of five or six officials, they stood on the street and whispered to each other for a while, and then they turned into a dark and secluded side alley.
The two exchanged bold glances and chased after him.
Stepping into the alley, I realized that the three people were missing.
Kou Zhong dragged Xu Ziling to the wooden door of a backyard and whispered: "You must have entered the backyard, otherwise it would have disappeared. Do you want to go in and have a look?"
Xu Ziling was surprised and said, "Are there other people from the Haisha Gang inside?"
Kou Zhong sighed: "Let me count him as lucky tonight!"
Xu Ziling said: "Anyway, I will go back to the hotel to sleep, why not wait here for a while?"
Kou Zhong sat on the ground next to the corner and said with a smile: "It seems like I'm back in Yangzhou City again. When I'm bored, I just sit here and talk in my sleep for half a day. Ha! We finally came to the world to make a living in the world."
Xu Ziling forced him to sit down and whispered: "It seems that the Haisha Gang has a lot of power here. The porters at the pier have to obey their orders. Isn't Haisha just sea salt? If you can control the salt goods here, you will be determined."
You are very powerful and rich, why do you want to fall in love with us two poor boys?"
Kou Zhong looked at him with admiration and said: "I don't think as deeply as you do. Fortunately, we have made a plan to steal salt, otherwise we might not be able to buy a grain of salt."
He became excited again and said: "The most important thing now is to get rich. Once you have money, you can go to Sister Susu. If she doesn't marry Brother Li, just marry us. Sister is beautiful and kind-hearted. I want her."
As wives, we will be very happy."
Xu Ziling laughed and scolded: "You can't be too ridiculous if you are joking. How can my sister marry two people at the same time? Do they sleep in the same bed at night? I don't want it."
Kou Zhong sighed: "The most important thing for people is to know how to comfort themselves. We have never even touched a woman's breasts. How can we be so useless as men? Hee! If we could rob the wallets of Lao Liu's two followers, wouldn't we?
Can you go to a brothel and have a good time right away?"
Xu Ziling said angrily: "If we didn't sneak out of the city immediately, we might have been quartered by the Haisha Gang. How could we talk about being romantic and happy?"
Kou Zhong was shocked and said: "Someone is coming out!"
Xu Ziling listened carefully, and sure enough, there were footsteps coming from behind the wooden door.
The two of them jumped up and stood on both sides of the wooden door, but their hearts were beating wildly.
Old Liu's voice rang through the door: "Little Huahua is so sexy that it's shocking. No wonder the second master is so busy that he still has to teach us to send bird's nests to coax her."
Another person said: "I also feel itchy all over. If Dongming hadn't sent someone, I would have immediately gone to find the girl from the brothel to calm the fire."
Old Liu smiled lewdly and said, "I heard that Mrs. Dongming's Shanmei Immortal is as beautiful as a fairy. I hope her skills in bed will not be worse than her martial arts."
The big man who had never spoken said: "No matter how good she is in bed, will it be our turn? There are two leaders after the leader, and you, Liu, can't even get in line."
The three of them laughed lustfully in unison.
"Ugh!"
The wooden door was pulled open.
Lao Liu walked out without any precautions.
"Bang bang!"
The two men behind him were punched in the face at the same time, and they fell back with a groan.
When Ruo Liu turned around in shock, he was punched in the chest and abdomen, causing him to roll to the ground in pain.
The two of them didn't expect that it would be so easy for the three of them to settle down. Kou Zhong looked inside and saw that it was a quiet and deserted small garden. There was a small building not far away, and there was a faint light coming out. He said hello, and Xu Ziling took the three of them.
Drag it in.
Except for Lao Liu, the other two people were covered in blood and fainted.
The two skillfully took off the belts of the three men, tied them tightly, and took away their swords and money bags before grabbing Lao Liu.
Kou Zhong smiled and said, "Do you recognize us?"
Old Liu's face was still twisted in pain, his muscles were trembling, and he groaned: "Sir, please forgive me!"
Kou Zhong pulled out a big knife, put it on his neck, swore a series of curse words, and then said: "I ask a question and you have to answer it honestly, otherwise I will cut your throat. But only cut a little, and let it flow slowly."
Blood."
Lao Liu saw them clearly now and said in shock: "Didn't you drown?"
Xu Ziling gave him a slap in the face with a "Pah!" sound, and threatened: "You are only allowed to answer, but not to ask, where is the salt warehouse of the Haisha Gang?" Don't hesitate to prevaricate, I will torture your brother later, and I will tell you
Have you lied?"
Kou Zhong screamed in his heart, this was exactly Du Fuwei's method of dealing with them. He quickly put the knife on Lao Liu's neck to increase the pressure, and threatened: "Speak quickly!"
Old Liu is babbling, that's what he can say.
Xu Ziling said angrily: "You put the knife on his throat and taught him how to speak?"
Kou Zhong moved the knife away slightly in embarrassment.
Lao Liu deceived them when they were young and tried to show his strength: "If you kill me, I guarantee you will not leave alive."
Xu Ziling said with a smile: "Don't you have to deal with the Dongming Sect? Now the gang members have time to pay attention to us. By the time we find your three dead bodies, we will have gone far away."
Kou Zhong said: "Don't be too boastful. Didn't we offend you today? Why are they still alive now? Good!"
Let me cut off one of your fingers first and see if you, a tough guy like you, will cry."
Xu Ziling shook his head and said: "No! It would be more fun to blind him in one eye first. Which eye is better, the left eye or the right eye?"
Old Liu immediately changed from a tough guy to a soft guy and begged for mercy: "I have surrendered. We have a total of eight salt warehouses. Which one do you want to know, young master?"
Kou Zhong said: "You listed the eight warehouses in one breath and hesitated for a moment. With a pair of eyes, I am the most skilled at gouging out the eyes."
Old Liu was so frightened that he said it in one breath. Kou Zhong asked him to say it again several times. After making sure that he was not lying, he said:
"Which warehouse is it closest to?"
After Lao Liu spoke out helplessly, Xu Ziling said: "What kind of sect is the Dongming Sect, and why does your leader come here for them?"
Old Liu hurriedly said: "If I tell you, can you two young masters let me go?"
Kou Zhongdao: "If you are honest, we will let you lie here all night, but I will definitely cut off the heads of your two friends to show the tricks of our Yangzhou Shuanglong."
Of course he won't actually kill people. It's just a tactic commonly used by the underworld. He must not be seen as easy to get along with.
As expected, Lao Liu was so frightened that he turned blue-lipped and said in a trembling voice: "Young master, spare your life. I said, but you must keep your promise and don't hurt my body."
Xu Ziling shouted: "Speak quickly!"
Old Liu said dejectedly: "I only heard it from my second master. The Dongming sect comes from a large island called Ryukyu across the sea. The sect is mainly composed of women. Hey! The ship you escaped to today is their ship. You
Can't you see them?"
Kou Zhong cursed: "Now it's you who ask me or I who ask you, and we are not escaping to the ship, but boarding it."
Do you think ten pairs of fingers are too many? It might be more enjoyable to touch a woman with nine fingers, right?"
Lao Liu quickly begged for forgiveness and continued: "Every year during the spring equinox, they go to the coastal counties to select boys to go to Ryukyu. I don't know why the leader wants to deal with them this year. Oh! I really don't know the reason."
The two suddenly realized, and then they understood the reason why Tan Yong fell in love with them, and they felt proud. Then they thought that Mrs. Shan Meixian of Ryukyu did not choose them in the end, and they felt inferior and self-pitying.
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling looked at each other and felt that they had no interest in asking any more. They tore off the clothes of the three of them, stuffed their mouths, and then tied them with a "unique technique". The knots on the hands and feet were made of cloth rolled from clothes.
The rope was tightened, causing them to bend backwards and make it difficult to exert force, so Shi Shiran left.
They have neither the interest nor the ability to take care of the affairs of the Haisha Gang and the Dongming Sect.
Now all they think about is how to rob the Haisha Gang's private salt and make a fortune. At that time, the sea was vast and the sky was wide enough for them to fly.
