Kong Youlong has been a businessman all his life and he is cautious by nature. In addition, he also felt that Zheng An's arrival was a bit strange just now, so he immediately believed the words of the fifth line.
"Fifth Young Hero, what's so weird about that ship?" However, Kong Youlong couldn't help but ask one more question.
"There is a demon on the ship!" Before the fifth line could speak, Sun Xiaowu walked up behind them and said, his expression becoming more serious.
The fifth line originally wanted to ask more questions, but seeing that Sun Xiaowu was serious and staring at the oncoming canal ships, he didn't say anything. He saw that Sun Xiaowu was fascinated, so he also stared at the incoming ship carefully.
Kong Youlong didn't know what was strange on the ship, so he didn't immediately stop the approaching ship. The incoming ship was the same size as Kong Youlong's merchant ship, and there were torches all around the ship, illuminating the ship's hull. But what is strange is that there is not a single person on the bow of the ship, not even a sailor.
The fifth line finally realized that something was wrong with the incoming ship. Although the boat was still moving, and was still going upstream on the canal. However, not only did the fifth row not see a single figure, they didn't even feel the popularity on the ship at all. That situation was like a huge coffin heading towards him, making people feel creepy at first sight.
"What is demonic energy?" Finally, in the fifth line, he believed Sun Xiaowu's words 89%, so he asked. Moreover, he suddenly felt that this Sun Xiaowu did not seem to be as idle as he appeared, but actually had some real talent. Even he knows many things that he may have never heard of.
"People have their popularity, and demons have their aura. In short, as long as they exist, you will feel their aura. Needless to say, the popularity is the essence of us people. But on this ship, not only can there be no human figure, You can't even feel the slightest bit of popularity, but instead it has a strong sense of gloominess. Obviously, although the ship is moving, there are probably no living people on board." Sun Xiaowu spoke in a serious tone.
"Popularity belongs to Yang, and it is the most powerful and strong. The so-called evil spirit is the gloomy air that is different from the popularity." Sun Xiaowu did not say it clearly, but he already understood the meaning of his words in the fifth line, so he finished it for him.
When Kong Youlong saw the boat, he also felt the coldness was overwhelming, penetrating to his bones, and he felt that strangers should not approach it.
The ship was getting closer and closer, but there was still no living person on board, not even a sound at all. Kong Youlong couldn't help but feel a little anxious, so he signaled his men to shout to the incoming ship.
"Is that Captain Zheng from the Canal Gang ahead?" a sailor shouted.
The sound spread across the river, but it was so ethereal that it caused many echoes, but no one answered on the boat.
"Is this Captain Zheng? Can you agree?" The sailor didn't give up and shouted again.
Still no one responded, but the incoming ship was getting closer and closer to the merchant ship, and everyone couldn't help but panic.
"Everyone be on alert." Kong Youlong couldn't help but become nervous when he saw this situation, so he ordered the sailors on the ship.
When all the sailors heard this, they also became more vigilant. They all drew out their weapons and stared at the incoming ship.
"How about I go over and take a look?" The fifth line said to Sun Xiaowu in a questioning tone. Obviously, now he completely believes what Sun Xiaowu said, and he also believes that Sun Xiaowu understands much more than him about this strange matter.
"Fifth young hero, you can't. The enemy is in the dark and we are in the clear. If you board the ship rashly, you may encounter mishaps." Sun Xiaowu immediately objected.
"Don't worry! Master Sun. There are only a few people in this world who can touch me." The fifth line seemed to feel that he was being underestimated by Sun Xiaowu, so he said with pride.
"Haha! Of course. You are just the fifth young hero. When it comes to martial arts, you naturally have few opponents. But you know very little about this heretical technique. It is not as simple as you think." Sun Xiaowu is very useful. He said in a serious tone, like an elder teaching a younger generation.
Of course, Sun Xiaowu is Princess Qingying's master, so he is naturally considered an elder in the fifth line. Only in the morning, Sun Xiaowu didn't have the confidence to talk to the fifth line. It didn't take him half a day, but now he said the fifth line speechlessly.
However, the fifth line does admit that there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the world. How could there never be anyone much more powerful than him? When Sun Xiaowu warned himself like this, he was also thinking about his own safety. He had no ill intentions, so he no longer cared about it.
"Prepare rockets. If no one on the ship responds, we will fire rockets and burn the ship." Kong Youlong finally couldn't help but ordered.
"Response from the people on the boat? If you don't agree again, we will fire arrows and burn the boat." The sailor who just shouted shouted at the incoming boat in the canal.
After receiving the order, all the sailors also dipped their bows and arrows in kerosene, lit them, and then placed them on the bow strings, ready to fire at any time.
There was still no answer on the boat. All the sailors already had strong bows and rockets in their hands, waiting for Sun Youlong's order to launch them at any time.
Although Kong Youlong is a businessman, he is also a martial arts practitioner after all. In order to ensure the safety of his business, he still has various weapons on board. At this time, Kong Youlong was extremely nervous and stared at the incoming ship, not even daring to blink.
He was about to give orders when a head finally slowly appeared on the bow of the ship, smiling and waving at him.
"Master Zheng, it is indeed him!" The incoming ship was less than ten feet away from him, and the lights on the bow were bright. Kong Youlong could see clearly that the person waving at him was none other than Master Zheng An of the Canal Gang.
However, what puzzled Kong Youlong was that although Zheng An appeared and waved to him, he still did not answer.
"Mr. Kong, are you sure that he is your friend?" Sun Xiaowu asked in a questioning tone.
"Yes, he is Captain Zheng An." Kong Youlong replied.
"But, he seems...not human." When Sun Xiaowu spoke, there was an unavoidable pause in the middle. He obviously also understands that when he says these words, it may immediately arouse everyone's doubts.
"Master, he is obviously a human being, how can you say he is not a human being?" Zhizhi was the most curious and the first to ask.
"A thing without a trace of popularity, even if it is covered with human skin, is not a human being." Sun Xiaowu directly denied it.
"Then what is he?" the princess asked again.
"It's either a ghost, a demon, or a corpse. I can't tell what it is yet," Sun Xiaowu replied.
"Master Sun, don't scare me. Is there really a ghost?" He Ye said timidly and a little scared.
"The ghosts Master Sun talks about are not real ghosts, but ghosts in people's hearts." The fifth line suddenly explained for Sun Xiaowu.
"Haha! The fifth young hero is so quick at understanding, he understands so quickly." Sun Xiaowu couldn't help but laugh.
"Master Sun, how should we deal with him now?" The fifth line has excellent eyesight. He has already seen that although Zheng An is smiling and waving to Kong Youlong, his smile is stiff, his movements are slow, and his skin color is frighteningly white, without any trace of it at all. The color was so bloody that he looked like a dead person.
"Thirty-six strategies, walking is the best strategy." Sun Xiaowu answered directly.
