Chapter 328 The magic weapon descends from the sky
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 Niu Mang Water Gang's water thieves themselves are not very skilled in martial arts. The reason why they succeeded in robbing cargo ships many times in the past was because they pretended to be water monsters to scare and panic people, and 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 memory of the ancestors and scholars in this Chu country's hometown. 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 searched 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.
After ten days of sailing, we finally arrived in Qianshan County.
Li Bai and the others were not in a hurry to go up the mountain. Instead, they found a small shop, had a meal and a meal, and asked the waiter about the situation in Wanshan. Then they had a good night's rest before going up the mountain the next morning.
Wanshan is located twenty miles west of Qianshan County. It is the fiefdom of Doctor Wanbo. It is connected to Tianzhu Mountain in Qianshan. The three peaks on the mountain stand in the shape of a tripod. The mountains are stacked and towering into the clouds. They are magnificent and beautiful, and there is no road to get up.
.It is indeed the best place for mountain grass to grow.
The three of them, Li Bai, all possess heavenly skills, and their strength has improved rapidly during this period, so it is not difficult to climb the peak of Wanshan Mountain.
When we got to the top of the front, we saw that the surroundings were covered with lush vegetation, and various steep and weird mountains were scattered around. In the distance was the endless Cangjiang River, and in the near distance were the white clouds that were within reach. The three of them were in it, like a fairyland.
.
However, it is not easy to find the mountain spirit grass in this place full of grass and trees. Moreover, they have never really seen the mountain spirit grass. They only heard the description of the alchemy Taoist: it looks like grass, and its whole body is fiery red, like
The flames have humanoid lumps at their roots.
The three of them searched separately for an hour but found nothing. Sima Heng said: "Does it mean that this mountain spiritual grass has no connection with us? Why can't we find it everywhere!"
Wu Guanzhi laughed and said: "Sima Heng, it has only been an hour, and the huge Wanshan Mountain has only found a peak. Do you conclude that the mountain spirit grass has no destiny for us?"
Sima Heng thought about it and said, "What Brother Wu said is very true, so let's look for it separately!" After that, he went up to the peak alone to look for it.
Seeing this, Wu Guanzhi also climbed to another peak and looked for it carefully.
When Li Bai saw the two people leaving, he took up the Lingyun Tread and went straight up to the clouds, looking far into the distance, hoping to see the fiery red figure of the mountain spirit grass from a high place.
Standing on the clouds, the scenery of Anhui Mountain in front of him was even more majestic and magnificent. Li Bai could not help but become inspired by poetry and recited loudly:
(Looking at Wan Gong Mountain from the river)
The peaks are full of strange clouds, and the trees are graceful.
The Qing banquet at Wan Gong Mountain was extremely impressive.
Wandering alone on the Cangjiang River is boring all day long.
But the Aizling Mountains are high, so why ask for supernatural beings?
We promise each other silently from a distance, but don't let your desires go.
When my elixir is completed, I will return to this place.
After chanting, Li Bai was satisfied. He took out the gourd wine pot from the treasure bag in his arms, pulled out the stopper, raised his head and drank. The mountain breeze blew, and a trace of wine fell from the corner of his mouth and fell into the grass below.
Suddenly, Li Bai saw a few flashes of fiery red reflected in the grass where the drink had been spilled. He immediately became energetic and rushed down from the high altitude.
As soon as he got up, he immediately dug away the grass, but he couldn't find the fiery red color just now after turning over and over. Could it be that he was dazzled by drinking just now? Li Bai thought, and couldn't help opening the flask and taking a sip. When he was absent-minded, the wine came again.
Some spilled.
As soon as the wine was spilled on the grass, a strange scene happened again, and several flashes of red appeared in the grass.
