The milky white mist came so unexpectedly that Wang Suizhen was startled to notice something strange and stood on the bow of the boat to look at the river.
This white mist is very strange, white as thin silk, as thin as light sand, like a living creature, swirling around people.
Wang Suizhen stood quietly in the fog for a long time, but his keen five senses could not sense anything. He could only hear the roar of the river under the boat, which gradually disappeared.
It seems that the moment the white fog rises, the river that flows eastwards day and night suddenly and inexplicably stops.
He knelt down and observed the river carefully.
The river, which had always been somewhat chaotic, now became still and as clear as a mirror for some unknown reason!
If the light hadn't been too dark, I wouldn't have been able to see the sediment at the bottom of the river at a glance?
And the moment the white mist rose, the south wind that continued day and night also stopped.
There was no wind on the sail, and the white canvas that had been full of wind slowly fell down, and the wooden boat that had been traveling upstream slowly stopped.
Wang Boan also felt that something was wrong at this time, so he went out of the cabin to watch.
"Brother Bo'an, the Yangtze River is so majestic that it never stops flowing day and night. Now it stops flowing eastward. What's the reason?" Wang Suizhen didn't understand what was going on and asked Wang Bo'an with some doubts.
Wang Bo'an has read ancient books and read many miscellaneous notes, but even in the records of supernatural stories, he has never seen such strange things recorded.
Wang Boan shook his head and said: "This is very strange. This white mist is weird and weird. I'm afraid it won't be good to stay in it. Since there is no wind and the river is not flowing, why don't the three of us paddle out and leave the place of right and wrong as soon as possible?" good!"
Wang Suizhen turned around and asked the child who had been looking around: "Child, did we go the wrong way and end up in a branch of a small river?"
The child's face was pale, and he seemed to be frightened by the situation in front of him. He shrank his neck and said, "Brother Sui Zhen, I can see clearly that we have been sailing in the middle of the river. This white mist suddenly rose up, and it is the strangest thing. Yes, this white mist seems... it seems..."
As he spoke, the child's lips began to tremble. I don't know whether it was because of fear or other reasons, but he hesitated and did not dare to say any more.
"What does it seem like?" Wang Suizhen was keenly aware that the question mentioned by the child might be the key.
"This white mist doesn't seem to come from the river, it seems to come from our ship. This ship... I'm afraid there is something wrong with this ship!" The child's face became uglier as he spoke.
Wang Suizhen's heart sank slightly. If the ship was tampered with, would that mean Shi Feilong was causing trouble?
Is it false that she escorted Wang Suizhen and the others out of the city and presented them with a boat? Did she have other motives for doing so?
Wang Suizhen carefully recalled Shi Feilong's every move, every movement, every look, every word, back and forth, and after considering it several times, he didn't notice anything unusual about Shi Feilong?
The most important thing is that Shi Feilong cried loudly for a long time in the sedan chair. That kind of true expression definitely didn't seem like a fake. And from another perspective, Shi Feilong wanted to kill the three of them and waved his hand in Jiujiang City. That’s it, why go to all this trouble?
This doesn't make sense.
Even now, Wang Suizhen's injury has not fully healed. If he really starts a fight with Shi Feilong, he may not have a chance of winning.
If Shi Feilong hadn't done anything, could it be that there were people from Xiao Qianlong among Shi Feilong's men?
In order to avenge Xiao Qianlong, what did that man do on the ship?
What the hell, get the ball.
Wang Suizhen threw all the messy thoughts aside and thought to himself: "As long as Shi Feilong doesn't come in person, even if the ship sinks, I will be sure to bring Wang Bo'an and Xiaotong to land safely!"
"At this point, there is no other way. The soldiers will block it, the water will collect the soil, let's row the boat!"
The three of them said nothing. One of them picked up an oar and started rowing one oar after another.
Three people, three oars, and a boat, sailing in the dim milky mist.
In my ears, I could only hear the sound of the wooden oar breaking through the water, but other than that, there was no other sound.
This situation is extremely strange!
The place where the three of them were was no longer seemed to be the center of the Yangtze River, the largest river in the Ming Dynasty. The river seemed to have turned into a Shura ghost river!
The river was endless and silent, and apart from the three of them, there was no other living creature.
Even the river fish and finless porpoises that had been jumping lively on the river surface seemed to be dead, with no trace left.
The three of them paddled hard, and after rowing for about half an hour, they were still surrounded by white mist, and the river surface was still deathly silent, without any change.
It seemed that for half an hour, their ship had been spinning in circles without making any progress.
After all, Wang Boan had a scholar's constitution and was a little tired. He stopped the oar and gasped: "Brother Sui Zhen, something is wrong. We are not too far from the river bank. We just turned the bow and rowed north. We should have reached the north bank of the river long ago. Come on, no matter how wide the Yangtze River is, there is no way to widen it! Why are we still on the river after rowing for so long?"
This was Wang Suizhen's first time encountering such a strange thing. He scratched his head and said, "Maybe we rowed in the wrong direction?"
The boy said: "Yes, the rudder was changed only once and never changed again. We changed our direction to the north and rowed for about half an hour!"
Wang Suizhen's expression suddenly changed, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said warily: "Brother Bo'an, little boy, please hold on, don't fall into the water, something big is coming!"
Before he finished speaking, a deafening sound of water breaking came from the thick fog in the distance. It seemed that something big was breaking through the water quickly!
The boy, Wang Boan, and the other two hurriedly retreated into the cabin.
Wang Suizhen channeled his inner energy all over his body, staring at the white mist ahead with his eyes filled with confusion.
I saw the thick white mist dispersing, and a large red ship as red as blood burst out of the mist, charging straight towards me with the force of thunder!
Look at that posture, this big boat is going to smash the small boat where Wang Suizhen and three people are in at once!
The boat was smashed, and the fate of the people on board was unknown!
Wang Suizhen had expected it, and he exerted force under his feet, with a force of thousands of pounds. With a sudden sound, the whole boat suddenly moved sideways by two feet, avoiding the fatal collision of the big red ship!
Although it avoided the bow of the ship, the red ship's hull was very large, and the side of the ship was scratched viciously.
Wang Suizhen's body stood like a javelin, and with all his strength, he pressed his palms against the hull of the red ship with great ferocity.
The boat was pushed by a powerful force, and the stern of the boat suddenly tilted up and retreated ten feet to the side before slowly stopping!
Wang Suizhen breathed a long sigh of relief and shouted: "Who is it? I have no grudges against you, so why did you do this?"
There was a "clatter" on the red boat, and a thick iron anchor was thrown from the red boat into the river. The side panels of the ship were lifted, revealing a wide ladder.
A delicate female voice came from the big red boat: "Master, why don't you get on the boat and talk?"
"I won't go up, what's wrong? Why don't you come down?" Wang Suizhen said angrily, feeling angry.
"Young Master, you'd better come up. Otherwise, the boat will sink to the bottom and people will be feeding fish and shrimps, which will not be beautiful. Although Young Master is very powerful in martial arts, Young Master's companions don't seem to be experts. Do we have to capture all Young Master's companions? Young Master, Are you willing to get on the boat? And in this white mist formation, even if you have the ability to reach the sky, you can't escape! In that case, why don't you just get on the boat and see what happens?" An extremely honest man The man's voice suddenly sounded, and he threatened Wang Suizhen in an extremely rude manner.
Upon hearing this, Wang Suizhen couldn't help but feel even more angry!
But what this man said made sense, and that was the fact. Just from this man's powerful and powerful voice, Wang Suizhen could feel that this man was definitely a powerful opponent, and his kung fu might not be inferior to Xiao Qianlong's.
It would be fine if there was only such a powerful person on the opposite side, but Wang Suizhen vaguely felt that this man did not seem to be the boss on the ship.
The real master of the ship is even more skilled than this person.
Who can use such heaven-defying means as the White Mist Formation and have such a powerful master as his subordinate?
The answer is ready to come out, self-evident!
It seems that the real owner on the big red boat is none other than the cave owner of the Hidden Dragon Cave, the Grand Master named by Shi Feilong, the Dragon King of the West Sea - Zhu Qianchuan.
Wang Suizhen, Wang Bo'an and Xiaotong looked at each other and said: "Brother Bo'an, Xiaotong, the matter has come to this, we can only take one step at a time. If we see that the situation is not good, we will escape under the water and measure his whiteness." The fog is only on the river surface, but things may be as normal below the river!"
Wang Boan nodded with Xiaotong.
The three rowed the boat to the red boat, tied the cable to the red boat, and followed the ladder to board the deck of the big red boat.
When they arrived on the big ship, although Wang Suizhen had expected it, he couldn't help being surprised when he saw the scene on the ship.
There were many people on the red boat. One of them was sitting on a glittering dragon chair. Behind him was a yellow umbrella with a majestic picture of two dragons playing with pearls embroidered on the umbrella.
Two women are standing behind two round fans decorated with long peacock feathers.
The man is wearing a golden dragon robe embroidered with eighteen dragons. The eighteen dragons have different colors, including black dragon, red dragon, white dragon, green dragon, blue dragon, purple dragon, pink dragon...and so on.
Each dragon has different postures, colors and sizes. They are vivid, winding and dazzling.
Looking further at this man's face, I saw that this man was wearing a dragon crown. He looked to be about twenty-five or sixty years old. He had slanted eyebrows at the temples, a face as white as jade, and dark gray eyes. He was looking at Wang Suizhen with a smile but not a smile. .
