Ye Sanqi pulled me up and asked softly: "Are you afraid?"
I nodded, and then shook my head - I had already anticipated the outcome of those people. In the world of martial arts, whether they are from upright families or green forest gangs, they treat traitors extremely harshly. Beheading them with a knife is the greatest mercy.
The reason why Jianghu combinations deal with traitors harshly is actually very simple. If the price of rebellion is too light, people will rebel one after another. Therefore, they must use the most cruel means to shock people's hearts.
Ye Sanqi patted my shoulder gently: "Just don't be afraid. The water in the rivers and lakes is always red. Only when you are used to seeing blood can you withstand the wind and waves."
"Don't underestimate any magic combination. They always have methods you can't expect."
"It's like the ship under your feet has been soaked in human blood at least a few times. Moreover, the ship must be sacrificed with human blood every year so that it can be used to save lives at critical moments."
When I turned my head and looked out, the seven ropes hanging on the sides of the boats were completely soaked in blood, hanging between the two boats with a strange dark red color. The wooden boat we were in also sank about two feet under the pull of other boats.
The one-eyed dragon finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally we are stable. Master Qi, can we stop Jin Ao this time?"
While the one-eyed dragon was speaking, the third shock suddenly came from the water. The moment the wooden boat we were on popped out of the water, the seven ropes hanging between the two boats broke at the same time, and fell into the water like a dead snake. inside.
The one-eyed dragon's expression suddenly changed and he shouted sternly: "Shoot under the water and kill any fish that comes up."
"Stop!" Ye Sanqi shouted as he made several seals in his hand and pointed around the wooden boat in the air. The rope that fell into the water suddenly burst into flames, and the swaying fire formed a circle around the wooden boat, not only blocking the The connection between the eight ships also seemed to imprison the turtle at the bottom of the water.
The one-eyed dragon lay on the boat and watched for a long time before saying in surprise: "Master Qi, the golden turtle has stopped moving, and the sinking coffin has blocked the hole. Master Qi, you are really a god."
Ye Sanqi responded: "I just suppressed the turtle temporarily. You send someone down to press the water suppression mark on the head of the turtle, and we can evacuate safely."
"This..." the one-eyed dragon whispered: "Master Qi, can you change it to something else? It would be a pity to just throw away the water-suppressing seal."
Ye Sanqi looked at the other party coldly: "Which is more important, the water seal or your life? You choose for yourself."
The one-eyed dragon was startled and quickly took out the water seal and handed it to someone: "Go down and hold down the turtle."
The man didn't hesitate, took off his shirt and jumped into the water holding Da Yin.
Not long after the other party entered the water, the fire on the water began to gradually weaken. The one-eyed dragon immediately commanded his men to turn the bow of the boat and sail towards the shore, regardless of whether the person came up or not.
Not long after the boat sailed out, I heard someone from behind shouting: "Master Jiao, the man who went into the water is back, shall we wait for him?"
The one-eyed dragon said casually: "Throw him a rope!"
But Ye Sanqi shouted urgently: "Stand still, no one is allowed to look back. We will wait until we get ashore."
All the people on the boat turned around at once, standing upright on the bow of the boat in front of them, and no one dared to move.
The sound of someone swimming under the boat got closer and closer. Just a few seconds later, I heard a muffled sound from the stern of the boat. It sounded like someone jumped out of the water and climbed on the boat, grabbing it with his fingers. Climb up little by little with the hull of the ship.
After a while, the sound of fingers scratching on the wooden boards came to the boat, and someone crawled towards our feet while smiling sadly: "Master... Master... I'm back. Why don't you look back?"
When I heard the man's voice, I subconsciously rolled my eyes, but I saw the one-eyed dragon next to me, his head covered with sweat. He was looking sideways, looking like he wanted to look back but didn't dare to go. Looking back, but not looking but afraid that the other party will actually come looking for her.
In fact, I was in the same state as him. Cold sweat was flowing down my forehead, but I didn't dare to reach out and wipe it.
The person crawling from behind saw that the one-eyed dragon couldn't be stopped by shouting, so he crawled towards me: "Master Long, look back at me! Look back!"
I was afraid that I couldn't help but turn around, so I could only lower my head and look at the bottom of my feet. Unexpectedly, I saw a hand reaching towards my ankle against the deck.
"roll--"
Just when the ghost hand was about to touch my feet, Ye Sanqi suddenly raised his foot and stomped on the deck. The man behind me was thrown away on the spot and hit the deck with a bang.
Ye Sanqi also turned around and said: "The agreement between you and me has been completed. From now on, we should not interfere with each other."
Who is Ye Sanqi talking to? Out of curiosity, I turned around and saw the red water ghost that Ye Sanqi had taken away with the paper boat, standing at the stern of the boat holding an umbrella and sneering at Ye Sanqi: "Mr. Ye, You promised to let me go, but I didn't promise not to look for you."
"Previously, when you and I met, I couldn't remember a lot of things. You used the turtle to knock my coffin back into place, but it reminded me of a lot of things. So, I can only come here again. is you."
When I heard this, my heart sank: That female ghost was trying to set a trap for us. She deliberately made the agreement between herself and Ye Sanqi unclear, just to make the one-eyed dragon suspicious of us.
The red water ghost first appeared when he helped us resolve a crisis when the second master rebelled. The one-eyed dragon must regard her as Ye Sanqi's ghost master.
Now, when she played such a trick again, it was difficult for the one-eyed dragon not to suspect that Ye Sanqi was deliberately acting with the female ghost.
"Suspicion" is an instinct of Jianghu people, and it is also a means of saving lives. People in the world will not trust someone whom they have only known for a few days unless absolutely necessary.
The one-eyed dragon has been listening to Ye Sanqi's instructions because Ye Sanqi can save his life.
However, this kind of trust is also vulnerable.
Ye Sanqi said lightly: "The condition of my promise to let you go is that you help me entangle the golden turtle until I land ashore. From the moment I saw the golden turtle sinking to the bottom of the water, I knew that you had violated our agreement. agreement between us."
"What do you mean you come to me now?"
The female ghost in red said: "Of course it is to make some compensation for my breach of contract. Don't go and have a cup of Rhino Lake. That is not a place you can go. Go back home now, you will only lose a few dollars." It’s just a life, but it’s not worth it to take your own life later.”
"Besides, those people who died just now have nothing to do with you. You can say that you have nothing to lose, so why are you obsessed with what is under Beixi Lake?"
