Here you can see endless sky and vast water. It was originally a lively waterway, but now it is empty of boats.
Li Bai and the others stood on the bow of the boat, looking at the empty river and sighing. Everyone thought that this water monster was really harmful to people.
Just as he was thinking about it, Sima Heng suddenly pointed into the distance and said, "Look, there is a big ship in front of us. It seems we are not the only ones who are not afraid of death!"
Li Bai looked up and saw a large wooden boat slowly approaching. There seemed to be some people standing on the bow, but it was too far to see clearly.
Slowly, the two large wooden boats got closer and closer. Suddenly, the boat owner pointed at the approaching large boat and shouted loudly: "Ah! Water monster, water monster!"
Upon hearing this, everyone quickly looked at the big ship in the direction pointed by the captain, and sure enough, they vaguely saw some monsters with the bodies of bullheads and fish lying on the big ship. Some of the monsters even jumped into the water, sank into the river and disappeared.
.
When the boatmen and escorts on the boat saw this scene, they all panicked, and the boat instantly became a mess.
The boat owner was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground and was speechless.
Wu Guanzhi and Sima Heng looked at the water monsters and were amazed.
Wu Guanzhi said to Li Bai: "Li Bai, it seems that we all guessed wrong. It turns out that there really is a Jingmen water monster with the body of a bull-headed fish."
Li Bai didn't answer. He looked carefully and suddenly burst into laughter: "Haha, Brother Wu, Brother Sima, you guessed it right, we guessed it right, these are all fake water monsters!"
"Fake?" Wu Guide and Sima Heng asked in unison.
"It's fake! Look, there is a water monster there, with a fish-shaped body and a human hand!" Li Bai pointed to a water monster lying on the side of the ship with his finger, and then said: "Oh, you can see it clearly, it turns out that
He only had a knife in his hand!"
When Wu Guanzhi and Sima Heng heard this, they quickly looked in the direction of Li Bai's finger, and sure enough they saw a hand holding a knife exposed from under the body of a water monster!
"Bah, it turns out this water monster is a human being, these are water thieves!" Sima Heng became angry.
Wu Guanzhi quickly pulled out his sword and cursed angrily: "These harmful water thieves are pretending to be evil, killing people and stealing goods. Let's see how I deal with them." After saying this, Wu Zhizhi wanted to jump off the boat.
Suddenly, "Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom..." came from the bottom of the boat. A series of violent collisions, the boat shook, and several people almost lost their balance.
"Oops! Oops! The water monster started to collide with the boat. We are dead this time!" Some boatmen screamed in shock.
Seeing this, Li Bai jumped up into the sky and shouted: "Don't panic, don't panic! Listen to me!"
Everyone who was originally in a mess was stunned for a moment by Li Bai's shout. When they looked up and saw Li Bai rising into the sky out of thin air, they were all shocked, and the boat suddenly became quiet.
Li Bai continued: "Don't be afraid, you all. These are not water monsters, they are water thieves dressed up to scare people. The purpose is to make people panic and lose their ability to resist. Now listen to me, stand still, don't run around and bump into each other, and use good palms."
Rudder, just leave the rest to us!"
After hearing what Li Bai said, everyone on the boat looked at me and I looked at you. They didn't know whether to believe it or not. They were all stunned and forgot to react.
At this time, the "dong-dong" sound from the bottom of the boat began to ring again.
When Li Bai heard this, he jumped back on the boat and said to Wu Guanzhi: "Brother Wu, it's time for our big bronze bell and hammer to come in use."
"How to use it?" Wu Guide was confused.
"How about we create a 'bell-shaking water monster'?" After that, Li Bai took out a thick iron chain from his treasure bag, strung it through the eye of the big bronze bell, then lifted the big bronze bell, jumped off the bow of the ship, and then transported it Lingyun jumped up into the sky, holding one end of the iron chain in his hand, and covered the bell on the water with its mouth downwards.
When everything was ready, Li Bai shouted to Guide Wu: "Brother Wu, come and ring the bell, let's overtake these water monsters!"
Only then did Wu Guanzhi understand Li Bai's intention of asking for the bronze bell and hammer. He couldn't help laughing and said: "Haha, Li Bai, you have a good idea. Okay, if these water thieves want to break our ship, I will shake it." Break their souls!"
After that, Wu Zhizhi put away the Crescent Sword, picked up the big hammer, floated the moon on the water, jumped onto the water, lifted the hammer and dropped it, a sound of "Dang!!!" was heard, shocking everyone on the boat. Everyone's eardrums hurt and they covered their ears with their hands.
It's so powerful on the surface of the water, but it's even more serious under the water! Sound travels faster, farther, and is more powerful underwater.
Several "water monsters" who were colliding with the boat underwater were shaken by the sound of the bell, their ears and blood burst out, their internal organs were churning, and they were in great pain.
However, Wu Guanzhi had no intention of letting these "water monsters" breathe, so he knocked with all his strength "Dang! Dang! Dang!" three times in a row.
These three blows were heard in the water, like three explosions of thunder. All the "water monsters" could not withstand it, they all bled from their orifices, and they all died at the bottom of the boat.
After a while, several "water monster" corpses surfaced one after another.
Wu Guanzhi fished out a "water monster", pulled it by its horns, and pulled out a hood. When he saw it, he saw a bearded man. What kind of water monster was he?
He threw the man's body onto the boat with all his strength and shouted: "Catch a dead water monster!"
Everyone on the boat saw that the water monster thrown up by Wu Guanzhi was actually a human being, and their hearts that were so scared to death gradually became a little calmer. The bodyguards took out their swords and prepared to fight to the death with these water thieves.
At this time, a cry came from the "water monster"'s boat: "Who are you? How dare you ruin my good deeds!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a lean man wearing a tight-fitting velvet top, yellow-spotted tiger-print shorts and a lean face jumped onto the bow of the boat, and the "water monsters" on the boat also took off their hoods, revealing human faces.
Li Bai shouted from high in the sky: "We are the scholars and scholars of Tangming Pavilion, and we are here today specifically to catch you water thieves who are pretending to be gods and ghosts."
"It turns out it's the martial arts examiners and martial arts scholars who came here for the bounty." The lean man was very disdainful.
But he was deeply shocked when he saw Li Bai and Wu Zhizhi, one standing in the air and not falling, and the other standing in the water not sinking. He also remembered that these two men had killed several of his people with just a few hammers, easily defeating his plan of sinking the ship. Knowing that these two people were not simple, he continued: "Brothers, how about we make a deal?"
"What's the deal?"
"There is a bounty of 200 Kaiyuan Tongbao for catching water monsters. I will give you 300 kuans now. How about you two join our Niu Mang Water Gang in the future?"
When Wu Guanzhi heard this, he burst out laughing and said: "Haha, if you give us three hundred guan, can you still join the gang? There are such good things in the world. Do you mean what you say?"
"Of course it counts! I am Niu Mang, the leader of Niu Mangshui Gang. If you are willing to join the gang, I will make you the second and third gang leader!"
"Hey!" Sima Heng, who was standing at the bow of the boat, couldn't help but shouted to Niu Mang: "Master Niu, are you going to give your money and the position of leader to just the two of them? What should we do?"
When Niu Mang heard this, he squinted at Wu Guanzhi. Seeing that he was tall and handsome, looking like a young man, he said loudly: "You guys? I'm sorry, our Niu Mang Shui Gang never leaves anyone alive, so I will rob you of all your money."
Then I will throw you all into the river and drown!"
When he said this, Sima Heng was unhappy, "Bah, what's your name? The Niu Mang Water Gang, right? I think you guys look like the Niu Mang Shit Gang! Pimping is already a sin, and you still want to kill people."
!And he wants to kill them all! It’s so unconscionable!”
Niu Mang smiled and said: "Who can be a water thief without being extremely conscientious!" After that, he said to Wu Guanzhi and Li Bai: "Brothers, what do you think?"
Li Bai smiled secretly and said to Niu Mang: "Master Niu, we would like to join, but maybe our elder brother won't allow it!"
"Your eldest brother? Who is your eldest brother?"
Li Bai pointed at Sima Heng and said, "He is our eldest brother!"
"Him!" Niu Mang was shocked for a while, but when he saw Li Bai's sneer on his face, he immediately realized that he had been fooled, and his face turned black for a while, "It seems that you don't know how to praise!"
At this time, Li Bai's tone changed and he said sternly: "Niu Mang, you are killing people, stealing goods, and harming the common people. Heaven and earth will not tolerate it! You still want to win us over to do this sleazy thing. I, Li Bai, must uphold justice for heaven today, but Taoism does not allow killing, so you should put it down."
Sword, come with us back to the Yamen to be punished!"
When Niu Mang heard this, he laughed out loud, "Why do you guys still want to take us back to the Yamen? You are so arrogant! Haven't you heard that four martial arts candidates and ten martial arts scholars were also arrested before?
Did we kill him?"
"I've heard of it, but when I saw it today, I don't think you have this ability!" Li Bai paused and then said: "If I guess correctly, they just fell into your scare trick that time and were in panic.
Without precautions, you guys broke the boat and fell into the water, and you were killed by being caught off guard."
