When Niu Mang heard what Li Bai said, his expression suddenly changed. He seemed to have been hit by Li Bai's words, and said viciously: "You will know if you have this ability if you try it!" After that, he waved his hand, and the boat behind him suddenly jumped out.
More than a hundred water thieves with bows and arrows poured out of the warehouse, bent their bows and arrows, and shot directly at Li Bai and the others.
Everyone on the cargo ship suddenly saw arrows raining down, and they quickly waved their swords to block it. Unfortunately, these water thieves were all good archers, and their arrows were shot accurately and hard. Suddenly, several boatmen fell to the ground after being hit by arrows, and the rest of the people were frightened.
He quickly hid in the cabin.
Sima Heng was the only one left on the bow of the ship. He picked up the Phoenix Shield and ignored the random arrows. The arrows hitting him fell as if they were hitting rocks.
However, because the two ships were five feet apart, Sima Heng's Phoenix Barbarian had no use for it. He was not good at water, so he could only work on the bow of the ship.
Wu Guanzhi originally wanted to use Moon Stepping on the Water to rush over and kill him, but the opponent's arrows were like rain, so he could only dance in a foil formation to block them, but it was impossible to move forward.
In order to avoid the random arrows, Li Bai had already jumped into the sky with the big bronze bell.
Seeing that Niu Mang had the upper hand, Niu Mang said proudly: "Haha, I just want to see how you guys can defeat my arrow array, and you even said you want to capture us. Why are you here?"
Li Bai felt angry when he heard it at high altitude, but he had nothing to do.
Just when Li Bai started to get anxious, suddenly, the light of fire flashed and the bow of the boat suddenly caught fire!
It turned out that the water thieves from the Niu Mang Water Gang actually tied torches to arrowheads and fired rockets at the cargo ship.
The cargo ship was loaded with silk, which would be dangerous if it caught fire.
When everyone saw it, they ignored the random arrows and rushed out to put out the fire.
Wu Guanzhi also jumped onto the boat, danced in a foil formation, and knocked down the rockets one after another into the water.
The owner and boatman immediately turned the helm, raised the sails, and quickly fled to the rear.
At this time, Li Bai also jumped back on the boat to help put out the fire. His big copper bell came in handy. He turned it upside down and poured a large ladle of water into it, which quickly put out the fire on the boat.
When Niu Mang saw Li Bai and his men's boat escaping at a rapid speed, he could not let them go. He immediately ordered the boatman to speed up the pursuit, and chased them all the way, shooting arrows all the way, until Li Bai and his men were in great embarrassment.
Li Bai was really anxious now. It would have been easier if it were just the three of them. There was no need to escape. They could just wait for the Niu Mangshui Gang's boat to come over and jump over to fight. But now he had to take into account the safety of everyone on the cargo ship.
I had to run away, I was really constrained and it was frustrating to escape.
Both ships were sailing very fast, getting further and further away from Jingmen. Li Bai stood on the bow of the ship and looked far away. He could only see the hazy shadows of the mountains in Jingmen, while the surging river was rolling in front of him and rolling in the air.
The clouds stretched directly to the sky, endless. Somehow, he suddenly had an illusion. The Niu Mangshui Gang's big ship didn't seem to come to kill people and steal goods, but to say goodbye to friends, and the rockets flying towards it looked like extremely
The farewell fireworks.
This situation inexplicably aroused Li Bai's poetry. He stood on the bow of the boat and recited loudly:
(Farewell at Jingmen Gate)
Crossing far outside Jingmen,
Come and travel from Chu State.
The mountains end with the plains,
The river flows into the wilderness.
Flying mirror under the moon,
Yunsheng Jiehai Tower.
Still pity the water of my hometown,
Send off the boat for thousands of miles.
After reciting, Li Bai's previous feeling of frustration disappeared. He only felt that his heart was clear and his energy was clear. The spiritual energy in his body gathered and flew into his dantian, and his internal energy rushed to the sixth level in an instant.
At this time, Li Bai's heart was like a flat mirror, and his thoughts were flying. Looking at the pirate ship that was getting closer and closer, Li Bai touched the big bronze bell standing beside him, and suddenly he had an idea.
He said to Sima Heng and Wu Guanzhi who were standing aside: "Brothers, I have a plan to defeat the enemy. Hurry up and hide in my bronze bell."
Sima Heng was unable to exert his strength on the bow of the boat and was suffering from pain. When he heard Li Bai say that he had a plan, he jumped into the big bronze bell without thinking too much.
Wu Guanzhi knew that Li Bai was very resourceful, so he put away his foil array and jumped into the bell.
When Li Bai saw the two people entering the bronze bell, he immediately picked up the Lingyun and raised the bronze bell, soaring into the sky.
When the Niu Mangshui Gang saw Li Bai suddenly lifting a big bronze bell to the sky, they thought he was trying to escape, so they aimed their arrows at him and shot at him. In a moment, hundreds of arrows were fired, and sharp arrows were shot at the bronze bell.
, making a sound of "thump, thump, thump...". But the bronze bell is so hard that these arrows can't penetrate it. I saw random arrows falling after hitting the bronze bell.
Li Bai was not in a hurry while he was high in the air. Anyway, there was a big bronze bell blocking him below, so the arrows could not hit him, so he stood high in the air with the big bronze bell and waited quietly.
Soon, the big boat of Niu Mangshui Gang sailed directly below Li Bai.
Li Bai shouted: "This is the moment you have been waiting for!" After that, he jumped into the bronze bell and raised it under the clouds. The bronze bell fell straight down like a cannonball. "Bang!" sounded, and the bronze bell sounded.
The bell hit the big boat of the Niu Mang Water Gang, directly making a big hole and killing two water thieves who were shooting arrows.
As soon as the bronze bell landed on the boat, the three people in the bell who had been prepared jumped out and rushed towards the group of water thieves.
Sima Heng had been holding back his anger for a long time. Now that he was in the den of thieves, he finally found a place to vent his anger. He picked up the Phoenix Barbarian and ran rampant on the boat, knocking away more than a dozen water thieves in an instant.
Wu Guanzhi's crescent sword also danced with sword flowers, killing the water thieves happily.
Compared with them, Li Bai had a very clear goal. From the moment he jumped out of the big bronze bell, he chased the bullish Niu Mang.
The Niu Mangshui Gang never expected that Li Bai and the others would descend from the sky like this. The bows and arrows they held in their hands were beaten to pieces before they could be replaced with swords, causing serious casualties.
Niu Mang used a large ring sword. Although his sword skills were very sharp, Li Bai forced him to retreat to a corner of the ship's side and struggled to resist.
The water thieves in the Niu Mang Water Gang are not very skilled in martial arts. They have succeeded in robbing cargo ships many times because they pretended to be water monsters to frighten and panic people. They then took the opportunity to sink the ship or set fire to it, and then relied on their good water properties to occupy the water.
It's cheap that makes it happen.
Now, masters like Li Bai boarded the ship and started fighting with swords. They were no match for them. In less than a quarter of an hour, most of the water thieves on the ship were killed and injured, and the rest jumped into the water to escape.
But on the water, they were no match for Wu Zhizhi, who was floating on the moon on the water. As soon as they appeared in the water, Wu Zhizhi would rush up and strike with a sword. Soon, all the water thieves in the water also went to see the King of Hell.
Seeing this situation, Niu Mang, the leader of the Water Thieves Gang, knew that he was doomed today, so he begged Li Bai while fighting: "My knight, you are just here for the reward. I still have hundreds of thousands of Kaiyuan Tongbao in my gang. If you can
Just let me go, I'm willing to give you all!"
When Li Bai heard this, he laughed loudly and said: "Niu Mang, I have practiced Taoism for several years, and I have only learned to help the world and act chivalrously. I have not learned to kill for money and forget one's roots for profit. So you should put down the big ring sword and follow me.
Go back to the Yamen!"
When Niu Mang heard this, he knew that bribery would not work, so he immediately wanted to jump into the water to escape. But as soon as he turned around, he was spotted by Li Bai and stabbed in the body with Li Bai's sword, killing him instantly.
At this point, the entire Niu Mang Shui Gang, which had been causing harm to the Jingmen waters for more than two years, was wiped out.
After wiping out the Niu Mangshui Gang, Li Bai asked a few boatmen from the cargo ship owner to sail the pirate ship directly back to the Jingmen County dock, handed it over to the county government, and then went to Tangming Pavilion to collect the silver reward.
The master of Tangming Pavilion saw that Li Bai and others had solved the Jingmen water monster case and saved the face of Tangming Pavilion in Jingmen. He was very grateful. He held a banquet to celebrate the three of them that night and recorded their heroic feats in the Tangming Pavilion Chronicles. Li Bai and the three of them were in Jianghu.
It's quite a reputation.
In the following January, Li Bai and the others traveled around Jingmen County, visiting all the scenic spots and historic sites in the county. They constantly felt the prosperity and prosperity of this "first county in the Xia and Shang Dynasties" and deeply understood its unique countryside.
At the same time, they deeply cherished the ancestral literati in this land of Chu. Time flew by, and the three of them couldn't bear to leave.
One month later, when Li Bai and others were visiting the Thousand Buddhas Temple in Jingmen, they met a Taoist sect who practiced alchemy. Seeing that the three of them had universal aspirations, the Taoist sect gave him an elixir recipe and said, "Practice the elixir according to the elixir recipe."
, it will definitely improve your internal strength by one level.”
The three of them were overjoyed after hearing this. After thanking Daozong, they started searching for the elixir according to the prescription. Half a month later, they had found seven of the nine elixirs, but they were short of the last two: fairy taro and mountain spirit grass.
There was a fairy taro plant hidden in the Jishitang Pharmacy in Jingzhou, but the asking price was extremely high. Li Bai and the others had no choice but to go to Tangming Pavilion to accept several copper post tasks, and finally raised enough money to buy it.
The only missing ingredient in the current elixir is mountain spirit grass.
The mountain spirit grass only appeared on strange peaks, so Li Bai and the others searched all the mountains in Jingmen, but still couldn't find it.
Just when there was nothing to do, the master of Tangming Pavilion in Jingmen brought news that a military officer had obtained a mountain spiritual grass from Wanshan Mountain in Qianshan County, Shuzhou.
Li Bai and the three of them discussed it and decided to go to Wanshan Mountain to search for the spiritual grass.
The next day, the three of them left Jingmen County by boat and sailed directly to Qianshan County.
