After a night of tossing, everyone was very sleepy. At this time, everyone returned to the boat to rest, leaving only a few fine disciples to take turns guarding them.
Daybreak soon dawned, and the boat stopped on the shore not far from Zheng's home, about three miles away.
Just for safety reasons, Sun Xiaowu and others did not go ashore at night. Instead, they had a good sleep, and then planned to get ready during the day before going ashore together to see the situation.
The fifth line traveled around the world and saw no martial arts masters. He had seen most of the famous martial arts masters in the Central Plains, and even fought against many of them. However, he didn't encounter monsters like last night very often.
Although I had been in contact with similar things before in Dongchang. It's just that he knew nothing about Xuanmen alchemy and the like at that time, and he didn't expect that these things could be so powerful.
Before this, although the fifth line had heard Master Zhang Yu talk about some similar strange things, he had never seen it with his own eyes and Master Zhang Yu was not very sure, so he had always been dubious about such things.
After this battle, Wu Xing finally gained a new understanding of Taoist mysticism. Moreover, he also understood something at the same time. Why are there so few Taoist priests who can leave a good impression on others, and everyone calls them Niubi Taoism? Because among Taoist magic, there are only a few things that have practical value in daily life. Apart from fortune-telling, Feng Shui and other miscellaneous things, there is nothing that can be used on a grand scale. However, in Taoist magic, things that harm and harm people are very widespread and widely spread. Although not many ordinary people know about it, almost all people in Taoism and Xuanmen understand it to some extent. The common people were probably afraid that if they provoked these stinky Taoist priests, they would cast spells and curses to frame them, so they stayed away from the Taoist priests.
Since I can't afford to offend you, then naturally I can only avoid you.
This is the mentality of most people.
The fifth line and others worked hard all night, and naturally got up a little late the next day. Wei Yan and the princess are both women. After all, they are a little timid. They were really scared to come out in the scene last night.
In the morning, everyone had their own breakfast without mentioning it. Kong Youlong saw that Wu Xing and Sun Xiaowu had gotten up late, so he wanted to go to Zheng's house to check on them alone. But he was afraid that if something happened, he would not be able to deal with it, so he felt a little hesitant in his heart.
Sun Xiaowu was old and frail, so he was the last one to get up.
"Master Sun, when will we go ashore?" Kong Youlong saw Sun Xiaowu and hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
"Master Kong, there is no rush. If you want to go ashore, you must first make some preparations to ensure nothing goes wrong." Sun Xiaowu comforted him.
When Kong Youlong heard what Sun Xiaowu said, he naturally didn't dare to act alone, so he had to wait patiently for Sun Xiaowu's order.
Kong Youlong and Zheng An were good friends. Although he was certain that Zheng An was indeed killed, his family, Kong Youlong, still hoped that they would still be safe. After all, no harm comes to the family. If the murderer not only killed Zheng An, but also spared his family, that would be a bit too much.
Kong Youlong naturally knew what happened last night. Zheng An's body was cut into several pieces by the Ling Feng Sword in the fifth line, but he still did not "die" and tried every means to harm himself. Kong Youlong really couldn't remember what kind of powerful person Zheng An had offended to be poisoned like this, and he couldn't even be buried in peace after death.
If it was because he offended someone and caused Zheng An to be killed, then he would naturally feel even more sorry. If this is the case, he must find the murderer and avenge Captain Zheng.
Although he knew that he was definitely no match for this murderer, with Sun Xiaowu and Wu Xing here, they would not sit idly by. Of course, Kong Youlong didn't just want to use Wu Xing and Sun Xiaowu to take revenge, but just because Zheng An's death was indeed too strange, most likely related to the Japanese Japanese. As long as it is confirmed that the matter is related to the Japanese, not only will it be difficult for them to escape the involvement, but even if Wu Xing and Sun Xiaowu are asked to leave it alone, they will probably not give up.
Sun Xiaowu was finally preparing to go ashore. He first ordered people to bring all the corpses collected on the merchant ship last night to the shore and burn them. There were also three children of the Kong family who were unfortunately killed yesterday. They were also cremated on the shore. Then a good grave was found on the spot and the three were buried properly.
Originally, regarding the funeral of the three Kong family sailors, Kong Youlong was opposed to cremating them on the spot because he wanted to take the three people back to the Kong family ancestral hall and bury them in their ancestral graves.
After all, it is peace in the grave, and fallen leaves return to their roots.
When a person dies, it is best to be buried in his own cemetery. In the future, when the same clan worships him during the Qing Dynasty, he will inevitably light a few incense sticks, so that he will not be as lonely and lonely as being buried in a foreign land.
However, Sun Xiaowu said that these three people died at the hands of demons and should be cremated and buried as soon as possible. If the bodies were left on the ship, there would be no guarantee that trouble would happen again.
Kong Youlong was already frightened by the soulless dead soldiers last night. If these three children of his were also used by the demon, it would be impossible for them to be buried in peace by then.
Finally, everyone buried the three disciples properly, and Kong Youlong was naturally extremely sad. Most of the servants and sailors around him were children of the same clan as the Kong family. They were all young men around the age of twenty. They all followed him in business to make a living and make money to support their families. He didn't expect to encounter such a thing. Let three children die in a foreign land. How could Kong Youlong not be sad? And feel a little sorry for their parents.
However, Sun Xiaowu seemed to be used to this kind of thing. As soon as the sacrifice was completed, he immediately made arrangements to go to Zheng's house.
Because it might be dangerous to go there, Sun Xiaowu decided to let only himself, Wu Xing and Kong Youlong go. The three of them have pretty good martial arts skills. Even if they cannot retreat from the enemy in times of danger, they are still capable of protecting themselves.
The princess was naturally a lively person, and originally wanted to go and have a look, but she was frightened by what happened last night, so she didn't have the courage to go.
"Master Sun, let me go too! One more person, one more helper." Wei Yan had already taken the Blood Yan Sword and asked Sun Xiaowu for orders.
"Miss Wei, you'd better stay! The three of us are gone, and the remaining people are the most skilled in martial arts. You have to stay and watch the ship. If the other party comes to attack the merchant ship while we are away, we will have no way out at all. "Sun Xiaowu said and handed her two more things.
A cloth bag, and a money dagger.
"I know that Miss Wei has improved her martial arts a lot now, and ordinary thieves are no match for you. But you haven't encountered many charlatans and sorcerers before. If there is a monster attacking you before we come back, these two things It can prevent you from escaping danger." Sun Xiaowu warned solemnly, just like he would warn his own child.
"Okay, Master Sun, I will ensure everyone's safety." Wei Yan took the bag and money and said.
Before leaving, Sun Xiaowu seemed a little worried, so he turned back to Princess Qingying and said, "Girl, be careful. If there is danger, what Master taught you before may come in handy."
"What kind of things? Can they be used?" Princess Qingying asked loudly with a look of astonishment on her face.
"Think about it for yourself." After Sun Xiaowu finished speaking, he took the lead and rushed to Zheng's house. Wu Xing and Kong Youlong also followed immediately.
