In fact, Nangong Zhenyi had come with them before, but after hearing Li Yi say that this place was Yuanxia, he hurriedly walked to the cabin.
When leaving, Jiang Yu curiously asked her if something had happened. She smiled and said that she promised Xu Jinxin that she would call him here.
At this moment, Jiang Yu was too lazy to think about what happened before. He just smiled and said to Li Yi, who was confused. "It seems like the peach blossoms on the ship are about to bloom."
Li Yi secretly looked at the two people behind him. They were not talking on the deck, but they were looking into the distance at the same time. Li Yi smiled and said. "It's obvious that I really like her, but I'm too stubborn to admit it."
Jiang Yu smiled but did not continue the topic with him.
Nangong Zhenyi and Xu Jinxin came over. Nangong Zhenyi was a little curious and said. "I see you guys are in a good mood, what's so interesting about it?"
Jiang Yu smiled and said. "No, I was just wondering if Li Wenqing would be robbed by those apes if he were pushed ashore."
Nangong Zhenyi smiled. "Not to mention the apes, the formation set up by the senior is not easy to break. If you try to move it, you may die, and it will be very difficult to get ashore."
"Sister Nangong knows that person?"
"No! I don't know them." She stepped forward, looked at the apes on both sides of the bank with a few others, and said. "My uncle is very good at chess. He was ignorant when he was young. He often went to watch him play chess. After going back and forth, he learned the name of this master. He is actually my uncle's friend and a senior from the Taoist Sect."
Xu Jinxin spoke lazily. "It is said that Taoist Wuxi violated the sect's rules and was kicked out. During this period, he disappeared for more than ten years. Everyone thought he was dead. In fact, not only was he not dead, he also learned a good skill. He was not far away. This is where he stayed back then, and if he wasn’t a useless person, he would really want to go up there and have a look.”
"You actually know?" Nangong Zhenyi was a little surprised.
Such things are rarely mentioned. After all, that person has been anonymous for many years. Although he has been moving around in the court, he still does not use his original name. And how did Xu Jinxin know about such secret things?
But they didn't know that the Wuxi Taoist they were talking about had died in the northwest battle half a month ago.
"A friend told me this. I thought he was not lying, so I believed him."
Yeah? Just because he felt that the friend was not lying, he believed it, but was his letter too casual?
"That friend of yours." Jiang Yu was about to ask Xu Jinxin about the origin of his friend.
The boat suddenly seemed to jerk its direction, and everyone was almost thrown into the river.
Especially Xu Jinxin, who had no cultivation at this time, almost hit the fence and rolled over.
Fortunately, Nangong Zhenyi had quick eyes and quick hands and caught him.
After the boat stabilized, it started moving forward at full power.
Several people looked at each other, wondering why the captain suddenly turned on all power?
Could it be that the cargo on his ship was in a hurry? Or are you in a hurry to meet someone?
But soon, a crew member came over and explained the situation.
The fact was not that the cargo was in a hurry, nor was the captain crazy about wanting to see Hu Meizi, but that the large ship behind them was pressing over them.
Several people looked back from both sides of the ship, and saw a ship several times larger than the one they were riding on, following closely behind.
The flag on the ship was fluttering, and the big words "Ghost King" on it rose and fell.
Just as they turned to look sideways, a loud horn sounded from the ship.
No matter how stupid they are, they still know the meaning of the word "Ghost King" on the flag.
This is a complete stolen ship!
Before coming, they had inquired about the situation in this area, especially on the way into southern Xinjiang, where pirates were even more rampant.
But why still take this road? Aren’t you afraid of being killed and fed to fish?
Probably this road is straighter and can reach southern Xinjiang in the fastest time.
Besides, what else can we do if we don’t take the water route? If we take the land route, wouldn’t there be no bandits?
No, no, bandits are very rampant in places close to southern Xinjiang.
Nangong Zhenyi pulled out her little-known clearing knife, waved her diagonal finger downward, looked at diagonally upwards with cold eyes, and said. "That's fine, my sword hasn't been opened yet, and I haven't killed many people, so it's a good time for a blood sacrifice."
She jumped to the top of the ship and looked up at the big ship. Seeing her like this, the people on the big ship had no intention of stopping. Instead, they accelerated and rushed over.
The people on the deck of the big ship drew their bows and arrows and aimed them at the people below the small boat.
The crowd did not let go of their bowstrings, but slowly made way for them.
A man in black slowly walked to the front of the deck from behind, looked down at Nangong Zhenyi, and said. "It's interesting that there are still people willing to take this road."
"Why? Everyone can walk in this world. Why can't we"
"Girl, do you know what my boat is for?"
"King of Ghosts! Since he is a pirate in southern Xinjiang, he is also a robber."
"Since the girl knows, why do you still dare to come? Aren't you afraid?"
Nangong Zhenyi was about to speak, but Xu Jinxin spoke lazily first. "Why don't you dare? It's not like Mo Jianxian, the best person in the world."
The man burst out laughing. "It's interesting. This is the first time someone has spoken to me like this. It's really exciting. However, I promised a friend that I must take two people away. I can let everyone go."
"What if we don't!" Jiang Yu said slowly.
"In this case, even if the distinguished guests of Langya Pavilion are here, we can only offend them. Brothers, please destroy the ship first!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the people on the big ship pulled the bowstring again.
Jiang Yu suddenly became curious and asked. "I wonder who the person you want to take away is?"
"Him." The man pointed at Li Yi and then at Jiang Yu. "And you."
Li Yi shrugged and said. "I knew it was me, but what's surprising is that Miss Jiang is also in there."
"Of course she is important too, that's all! Since my little brother is self-aware, he should think about everyone on the ship. It's really a wise move to follow her."
As soon as the man finished speaking, Xu Jinxin spread his hands. "I'm a useless person now, and I'm relying on you all. However, don't talk too much to this old guy, so as not to be deceived."
He approached Li Yi and asked. "Can you set up a formation?"
"know a little."
"Okay, let's move towards the shore. As long as we enter the barrier formation set up by Taoist Wuxi, we can naturally escape from the trap."
But as soon as he finished speaking, arrows flew down from the sky.
Li Yi pushed him into the cabin and said. "Please do the docking thing."
After Li Yi finished speaking, he turned around and swung out his stick, knocking an arrow directly into the river.
When he looked up again, dozens of feather arrows flew down.
But at this moment, under the control of Xu Jinxin and the captain, the ship quickly changed its direction and headed towards the shore. Dozens of feather arrows were shot into the water, but they all missed.
The big ship behind them rushed up and passed their ship, almost knocking over their ship.
Some people on the big boat took the opportunity to jump onto the deck of the small boat. Li Yi swept out with a stick and beat several of them into the river together with their weapons.
There was a voice behind him.
It wasn't that the crew member was being held hostage and yelling for help, but Jiang Yu, who had changed into a light yellow dress, plucked the strings.
Nangong Zhenyi swung his sword and chopped off a man from the deck of the ship. The whole body was divided into two parts, upper and lower. After they fell into the river, they were probably fed to the fish.
She drew her sword again, her momentum unabated, as if there was a sword coming from the west.
The power of this sword is not small, but it is the "mist wave vastness" that she has not yet mastered in cultivation. This is what Jiang Shang realized when her master came down the mountain. It is still a great killing move that is praised by all the masters and uncles to this day.
It's a pity that she hasn't fully realized it yet and can't use 30% of the power of the move.
She stood at the very top of the boat, floating with the boat as if dancing in the wind.
However, she did not hesitate. The spiritual energy had already been released and enveloped her whole body, forming a layer of air waves that isolated the outside.
As she swung out, a wave of air flew away from the sword and rushed straight towards the big ship, seeming to tear the whole ship in half.
However, at the critical moment, the man stepped forward and blocked her sword that seemed to be able to tear the entire ship apart with just one blow.
Nangong Zhenyi was stunned, and there was a faint burning sensation in the tiger's mouth.
However, he was so shocked that he was almost speechless.
It's not that this sword is so powerful that it's shocking, after all, the Ghost King's power is not in vain, he has already known it. But this sword is very similar to the extreme ice sword that the master said back then.
There are so many swordsmen today, and there are really not a few who are successful. For example, Zhao Qingshan, the sword fairy in blue, Li Qinghuai, the sword fairy in purple, Zhang Wangxian, the peach blossom sword fairy, Ruan Luan, the sword fairy of Western Chu, and Mo Wenliang, the nine-stage sword fairy, are all familiar to you when you open your mouth.
But compared to these, when it comes to using knives well, there are far fewer, almost very few, but the one who uses the ice knife in front of me can be regarded as one.
Nangong Zhenyi just didn't understand that such a swordsman-like figure was said to be the same extraordinary and powerful person as his master and others, so how could he fall into the trap of a bandit? He was also nicknamed "The Thief of Southern Xinjiang" and "The Ghost King".
But when I think about it, I feel relieved. In a situation like this in Xi Chu, people are either just trying to survive, or they are just living like flies and dogs. What's more, he is an ambitious swordsman.
Nowadays, there are many people in the shadows who had justice in their hearts back then, but they have all been smoothed out by this ambition, and in the end they did not go up the mountain to become the most vicious bandits.
She swung her sword down and looked at the middle-aged man holding the ice knife in front of her without fear, with a cold look in her eyes. "I heard from my master that Xiaoyao Immortal Duan Changji is at the top of Xi Chu's list of those who can use swords to achieve eight points of luck. He can use swords as he pleases. There are many sword immortals after him. Among them, there is Huo Wujie who uses the ice knife. But. That Xiaoyao Immortal has already rushed to the northwest to slay demons and defend the Way, so naturally it won’t be him. So, besides Huo Wujie, there is only Huo Wujie."
The middle-aged man slashed down with his sword and cut her sword energy into pieces, and said. "I didn't expect that after so many years, someone would still remember my name. I'm really lucky. But unfortunately, it's time to end."
The man said and swung the knife down again.
Even though Nangong Zhenyi is only seventeen years old, he has no fear when facing such a powerful enemy.
She raised her head, recovered all the spiritual energy on her body, and covered it with the sword named "Qingcang". She jumped up and swung the sword to meet him, retorting in her mouth. "So, you have fallen to this."
The next second, her sword met Huo Wujie's sword that he swung at random.
I just felt that the breath of death was lingering around me, and my whole chest seemed like something was about to explode. There was a cramping pain in the chest, and blood surged.
She was shaken by the knife and fell dozens of meters from the ship to the deck.
Just as she stood upright and wiped the bloodshot eyes from the corner of her mouth, a voice rang out from beside her. She looked over and saw several rays of light rushing straight up towards Huo Wujie, who was standing at the front of the ship.
These rays of light came from Jiang Yu's hand, and the music of the piano reached his ears, which directly shocked the ears of the people on the big ship.
Huo Wujie pointed his finger and shattered those rays of light instantly.
He swung the sword down, and Li Yi came forward to greet him. His bones squeaked against the cold wind, and the stick was instantly covered with a layer of frost.
His heart was filled with anger, and the piercing bone that was completely covered with ice was still unabated, as if it was going to smash Huo Wujie into a pulp on the spot.
But his thorn bone fell on Huo Wujie's ice knife. When it was only a few inches away from Huo Wujie's head, Huo Wujie had already reached out and grabbed his thorn bone.
Li Yi slammed upwards with all his strength, but his body seemed to be frozen into an ice sculpture, unable to move at all.
Huo Wujie raised the thorn bone high and threw it down together with Li Yi. It hit the deck directly, breaking the front deck of the ship they were riding on into two pieces.
Nangong Zhenyi and Jiang Yu, who were standing on the deck, jumped away one after another and landed on the undulating river surface, like immortals standing, but neither of them sank to the bottom of the river.
Huo Wujie was stunned and looked at the two girls on the water.
Yes, he is extremely talented, at least as a swordsman, he couldn't do it when he was the age of the two of them.
Nangong Zhenyi waved his sword, and a burst of sword energy lingered around him, causing the underground river to flow.
She looked at Huo Wujie and shouted. "Qingshui Changlong, go."
As she shouted, the water in the river suddenly seemed to have spirituality and slowly rose up, gathering together with her martial art called Qingshui Changlong.
She seemed to be dancing, and the rising water slowly gathered to form a long dragon.
Jiang Yu pushed his finger forward, and the ups and downs of the piano sound made people feel like they were in the middle of a battlefield, with ambushes on all sides.
This move completely attracted Huo Wujie, who was standing at the front of the ship.
Huo Wujie sat at the front of the deck and looked at the two little girls lazily. I really want to see what tricks they can come up with.
However, here, Xu Jinxin has slowly driven the boat to the shore.
Xu Jinxin jumped from the boat, and the captain and a few crew members also jumped to the river bank.
Someone on the big ship was bending a bow and setting an arrow. He let go of the bowstring again and shot.
Seeing that the feather arrow was about to arrive in front of them, Li Yi suddenly jumped up from the water, swung his long stick like a long dragon, and directly deflected the feather arrows that shot around several people.
Li Yi led a few people to the shore, but only then did they realize that they were in trouble again.
That's right, they were blocked by an invisible barrier on the shore, unable to enter the peach blossom-like situation ahead.
"Since you understand the formation, I can only rely on you at this time. I heard from my friend that Taoist Wuxi lived around here back then. If you slowly explore it, you should be able to find the formation eye."
Li Yi didn't answer, but started groping around.
