Li Hongxiu patted Shu Mu's little hand and said with a smile: "Go bring your brother a cup of tea as a token of comfort."
Boss Xie admired softly and said: "The young master can surprise the guests on the red boat, he is a god."
The gentleman held the tea cup and smiled without saying a word.
Li Ye took the tea cup from Mu Mu's hand, took a sip, looked at the red boat beside him, and said loudly:
Several times I sat under the flowers and played the flute,
The Yinhan red wall looks into the distance.
The stars look like they are not last night,
For whom is the wind dew standing at midnight?
...
After saying that, he sat down cross-legged and meditated on the bow of the boat.
Mu Mu looked at him as if he was about to recite sutras, turned around and ran into the cabin, throwing herself into Li Hongxiu's arms.
When the women on the red boat heard Li Ye's chant, there was another wave of heat, and they all shouted, asking those on the opposite boat to come over.
Li Ye was stunned, thinking when did I offend you again? I just thought of the young lady far away on Phoenix Mountain.
Seeing that Li Ye didn't respond, the woman on the red boat screamed louder.
Li Hongxiu hugged Mu Mu in the cabin and laughed, saying: "When Mu Mu arrives at Bai Jade City, he will drive your brother to Huamanlou to sell songs. After making money, my wife will take you to buy new clothes."
Mu Mu glanced at Li Ye on the bow of the boat and said with a smile, "This is okay."
Hurrah, the red boat goes away.
Looking at the red boat gradually disappearing on the river, Boss Xie looked at the gentleman who was carrying a pot to boil water. His face was full of confusion. After a long time, he murmured: "Sir...this is you." His disciple? Aren't you afraid that he will offend the girls on the red boat?"
The husband raised his head, looked at the vast night, and smiled lightly: "What are you afraid of?"
Boss Xie shook his head, feeling that the greedy gentleman just now was more courageous than himself.
After a moment of silence, Li Hongxiu patted Mu Mu and said, "Go to bed with Master Madam in the cabin, and let your husband and Boss Xie stay up late while your brother slowly chants sutras."
Mu Mu asked in surprise: "Brother only eats meat at night, so he doesn't know how to recite sutras, right?"
Li Hongxiu hugged her and turned around to walk into the cabin, saying, "He is not a real monk. Only the devil knows what he is thinking."
...
At midnight, Mr. Xie and Mr. Xie went to sleep in the cabin early.
Li Ye walked into the cabin, leaned against the table where his husband made tea, and lay on the side of the boat. He thought that he was sleeping under the stars. It was a rare enjoyment to be able to look up at the stars in the sky.
I haven't run around these days, I rest a lot more than usual, and I am more energetic than usual. I close my eyes while thinking about my thoughts.
He never slept soundly that night. One moment he recited the Ksitigarbha Sutra in his sleep, and the next moment he chanted the twelve-character mantra thousands of times in a daze. Unknowingly, he stayed up until midnight, and the sky sank and revealed a faint light. bright colors.
With enough energy, he let his consciousness fly between heaven and earth and listened carefully to the morning birds on the shore flapping their wings and flying into the sky, the small insects in the mud chirping softly, and the fish in the Fuchun River following. Happy games behind the boat...
Suddenly, he felt two black ships faintly appearing behind the merchant ship. Looking carefully, he saw that they were two fast black clippers one size smaller than the merchant ship, like wild wolves hunting for lust in the night. Quietly approaching the merchant ship, there were dozens of men holding swords and arrows, wearing black attire, and covering their faces vaguely standing on the bow.
The two speedboats did not want to alert the crew in Li Ye's ship. They wanted to approach the merchant ship quietly and then resolve the battle at lightning speed, so there was no roar, and even the morning birds flying in the sky hid. got up.
I don’t know when, the husband pulled Mu Mu and stood beside Li Ye. The husband said softly: "Maybe Mu Mu used gold coins to pay the bill when he bought fish during the day, and exposed his wealth to the water bandits in Tamsui Town. I’m thinking about it.”
Mu Mu looked excited and looked at her husband and said, "Sir, can the bandits be killed?"
The gentleman nodded and said: "By eliminating evil, we are also accumulating blessings for the people on both sides of the Fuchun River."
Mu Mu held the bow and arrow in her hand, nodded, looked at Li Ye and said, "Brother, shall we compete?"
Li Ye smiled faintly and said, "Compared to what? Compared to killing people?"
Mu Mu curled her lips and said, "This is a bandit. A bad guy."
The gentleman sat at the table and smiled, "If you two don't do something, the bandits will jump on the boat."
Li Ye touched Mu Mu's head and said, "Sister, you guard the bow while I go to the stern. Be careful with yourself." After saying that, he took out the boxwood bow and quietly walked behind the boat.
Arriving dozens of steps away from the stern of the ship, Li Ye took out Ruoshui, touched the water bandit's head and shook his head, but quietly stopped.
The water bandit is naturally alert, and even the faintest footsteps will alert him.
Li Ye drew back his waist and abdomen slightly, took a bowed stance, and before the water bandit could turn around, he chopped off the Ruoshui in his hand, just like cutting off a piece of wood in the Tianshan torrent. .
The water bandit looked back at him and thought, what's the use of a sword at such a long distance?
However, he thought wrong. It was not Ruoshui who killed him, but the faint trace of sword energy in front of Ruoshui. Li Ye, who had no realm, could actually kill a trace of sword energy with the power of "Shadowless Dharmakaya" .
Just a trace is enough.
At a distance of dozens of steps, just this trace of sword energy was enough to kill the water bandit.
With just a "plop" sound, the masked water bandit covered his neck and fell into the Fuchun River.
In the dark night, Mu Mu couldn't see her five fingers holding the bow, so she imitated Li Ye and quietly let go of her consciousness, locking the archer on the black ship a few feet away, then slowly closed her eyes, nocked the arrow, drew the bow, and then Loosen the bowstring.
Bowstrings vibrated and buzzed in the night sky.
There was a dark shadow falling into the Fuchun River on the boat not far away.
Mu Mu is different from Li Ye. She has been fighting against fate since the day she was born. Whether it is pheasants, rabbits, or even some small wild boars on Tianshan Mountain, they are all food in her hands.
Bai Susu taught her from a young age that if you don't eat those beasts, they will eat you mercilessly.
Therefore, the water bandits at this time were no longer human beings in Mu Mu's eyes, but wild beasts on Tianshan Mountain that stared at her and wanted to eat her.
Therefore, she must use all her skills in the Golden Core Realm, condense all her strength and skills on the boxwood bow and arrow in her hand, and shoot a fatal arrow without mercy.
When she fired another arrow and shot down the second water bandit on the distant bow, someone on the silent water bandit's bow yelled: "Be careful of the archers on the merchant ship opposite!"
There was great chaos on the river.
Even Li Hongxiu, who was sleeping soundly, woke up and ran into the cabin, only to see that her husband had already boiled a pot of tea and was pouring two cups of it carelessly. Looking at her panic, he said with a smile: "Come here for tea. ."
Li Hongxiu, with her hair hanging loosely, pointed out of the boat and said, "The water bandits are coming, aren't you going to fight back?"
The husband took her hand and said softly: "What are you afraid of? Drink tea."
At this time, Boss Xie also woke up with a start, ran to his side and shouted: "Why are there water bandits attacking? Do you want to ask the guys to stand up and resist?"
The gentleman pointed to the tea cup and smiled: "Sit down and drink tea." After that, he poured a cup of tea for him.
At this time, Li Hongxiu, who had regained consciousness, had already seen Mu Mu standing on the bow of the ship, bending his bow and shooting an arrow at the bandit ship in the distance. Now he took out the comb and started combing his hair.
Boss Xie also saw Mu Mu and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Mo, are these two children? Those are two boats of water bandits!"
The gentleman raised his tea cup and said with a faint smile: "What are you afraid of? Drink tea."
Although Li Ye's Dantian was locked up by the old monk, he could control too little of the energy of heaven and earth, let alone use his Nascent Soul realm skills to guide arrows.
However, years of physical training allowed his physical strength and spiritual consciousness to condense like needles, making him extremely sensitive to changes in the atmosphere of the surrounding things.
When he has a bow and arrow in his hand, it is just like what the teacher said: wherever his eyes see, the bow and arrow in his hand will also shoot.
At this time, in the dark night, he could easily see the water bandit on the bow of the ship dozens of feet away, and he could lock the enemy at the front of his arrow path.
Relying on his extremely condensed and sensitive spiritual consciousness and powerful physical strength, he used the morning wind to touch the arrow, so for him, the night before dawn was like day.
The arrows he shot were different from Mu Mu, who was deadly with arrows. Every arrow Li Ye shot only penetrated the right arm of the water bandits, preventing them from wielding the weapons and bows in their hands.
This method of autumn shooting has probably not been used by any practitioners in the past, because for too many practitioners, every arrow they shoot will definitely kill someone. If the opponent cannot be shackled to death, the next one will die. Maybe it's me.
But Li Ye's purpose was not to kill people. In his opinion, as long as he severely injured these water bandits and frightened them, they would naturally not dare to engage in the business of killing and selling goods again.
When Li Ye shot the second arrow, Mu Mu on the bow had already shot at least five arrows, which meant that Mu Mu had killed five water bandits.
Li Ye shook his head gently and murmured: "I am a beautiful lady, but I became a thief and lost my life!"
Hearing the screams outside the ship, the crew on the merchant ship had already woken up and ran into the cabin one after another. However, they were dumbfounded when they saw their master and two guests drinking tea in the cabin.
Mr. Xie laughed and said: "Whatever you are looking at, go back to the cabin and go to bed. You will have to hurry up when the sun comes up!"
Li Hongxiu held the tea cup and took a sip. She looked at the men in her family and smiled charmingly: "I never thought that these two little brats you taught could protect my wife and husband."
The gentleman picked up the pot and filled the water for the two of them, and said with a smile: "Originally, I just wanted him to practice archery so that he could use it in the Western Regions in the future, but I didn't expect that tonight, the gentleman would use his strength. It was really unintentional."
At this time, Mu Mu, who was standing on the bow of the boat, yelled and said: "Brother, your speed is too slow, like a woman. Mu Mu shot more than ten arrows, but you couldn't shoot five!"
Li Ye, who was at the stern of the boat, smiled softly when he heard this, and replied in a solemn voice: "It's not even bright yet, so there's no need to worry."
Li Hongxiu, who was sitting in the banli, was startled and murmured: "Aren't you in a hurry?"
