Volume 1: Winds Rising From the Mountains and Swamps Chapter 176: Crossing the River
After a short while, the surroundings fell into darkness again. Jin Ke ran to pick up a torch and relit it. Under the light of the fire, the broken limbs and corpses were scattered all over the ground, which was horrible to look at.
"Thank you, Brother Lin... Brother Lin, for saving my life!" The mind of Master Liu relaxed, and the pain and fatigue suddenly surged into his heart. He shook his body, his expression was uncertain, and he bowed deeply to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi frowned, stepped forward and stopped the injury for Master Liu, and asked him to take the medicine he brought with him. Ignoring the other party's thanks again, he asked: "I just want to ask you one question, where did Elder Meng and others go out to sea?"
Hesitated for a moment, as if he had been struggling for a long time. Master Liu sighed and said in a deep voice: "I didn't know the real place to go out to sea in advance. I just heard Elder Meng mention it once. It seems to be in Lingzhou, south of Tonghaizhou."
"Lingzhou? Master Liu knows the place to go out to sea in Lingzhou?" Lin Yi asked.
Master Liu nodded, smiled bitterly and said: "I know that place, but it is no less than 500 miles away from here!" He paused, looked up at the sky, and said meaningfully: "I'm afraid they will have gone out to sea at dawn!"
Hearing this, Lin Yi raised his eyebrows and said loudly: "Senior Brother Jin, I will take you to the shore, and you can go back by yourself. Master Liu, take me to Lingzhou!"
"That ship...?"
I don't know what's the point of going to Lingzhou at this time. The big ship leaning against the water in the distance should belong to the Tianlong Sect, and we should go to investigate. Before Master Liu finished speaking, he felt his waist tightened, and his body was off the ground. He hurriedly looked at Lin Yi.
"Don't look, more than 20 people on the boat are dead!" Lin Yi reached out and grabbed Master Liu, and his body floated up like catkins, passing by Jin Ke. Jin Ke screamed, as if he was wrapped in a whirlwind, and threw the torch in his hand away in fear.
Lin Yi grabbed one person with each hand, stepped on the ground, and flew south like an arrow.
Master Liu and Jin Ke only felt that their bodies were floating in the air, the wind was whistling in their ears, and they couldn't see anything. They were both shocked, but they didn't dare to make a sound.
Suddenly, the wind stopped around them, and their feet fell to the ground. Looking back blankly, they realized that they had run a mile or two away in such a short time.
"Wait a moment, I left something behind and will come back after I get it!"
Master Liu and Jin Ke only heard a familiar voice in the wind. In the night, there was no trace of Lin Yi.
Lin Yi returned to the carriage and stretched out his hand without hesitation to pat the box on the carriage. He put all the jade boxes and jade materials on the two carriages into his Qiankun bag, and then he turned and left.
These jade materials are all top-quality fine jade. It would be a pity to discard them. Keeping them might be useful.
Holding two people in his hands, he was as light as a feather. He crossed twenty or thirty feet in one step. Whether it was treetops or water plants in front of him, they all became the leverage for Lin Yi's feet. With his toes tapping frequently, his figure slid across the night sky like a swift wind.
After half an hour, the sky was faintly green. At this time, Lin Yi, with Master Liu and Jin Ke, ran all the way to the bank of Shangshui.
Regardless of what the two thought in their hearts, Lin Yi said, "Brother Jin, you can find a boat along the coast to go back. I can't send you off. Be careful on the way!"
Jin Ke looked at Lin Yi deeply, his expression changing constantly, and said with a fist, "Brother Lin, you should take care of yourself too!"
Lin Yi brought him humiliation and saved his life many times. Now that they are separated, I am afraid they will never see each other again. Thinking of this, Jin Ke was also moved. The last sentence expressed his true feelings.
"Be a good person and don't cause trouble! Say hello to Jiang Fangdi and the other three for me!"
After saying this, Lin Yi grabbed Master Liu and rushed east along the coast. Not long after walking, he asked, "Where is Lingzhou?"
Master Liu was caught by the other party all the way, unable to move like a child. Feeling helpless, he had to say, "Cross the Shangshui River, and go to the southeast for three hundred miles!" As soon as he finished speaking, he felt tired, his eyes turned black, and he fell asleep.
After Lin Yi pressed Master Liu's sleeping point, he summoned the Green Cloud Shade, crossed the Shangshui River, and headed straight to the southeast.
Lin Yi used all his strength to activate the Green Cloud Shade, and the spiritual energy poured into his feet without any effort.
A hazy green light rose around the Green Cloud Shade, and a faint green smoke passed through the gradually brightening sky. But Lin Yi was still worried. If Elder Meng and others really went out to sea, it would be troublesome to find them again. I hope I can catch up.
Lin Yi was in mid-air, and the trees and mountains under his feet were clearly visible. It was dawn.
After flying for nearly 300 miles, the blue cloud under his feet slowed down. Lin Yi used his eyesight to look and saw a beach in front of him.
The blue cloud fell straight down, and Lin Yi jumped down from mid-air. When he took back the green cloud yarn, he slapped Master Liu to wake him up, and ran forward with him.
"Ah! Where is this? What happened to me just now?" Master Liu woke up in a daze. He lost too much blood from the wound in his waist and abdomen, which made him pale and a little dazed. Seeing the different scenery in front of him, he asked hurriedly.
Lin Yi kept walking and said, "Master Liu, remember, we were robbed and killed halfway, and we had no choice but to run here to seek shelter from our fellow disciples!"
Master Liu had no time to think about it, and thought to himself, were we robbed and killed again just now?
There was a wide beach in front of him, and at the end of the beach was a simple pier and endless sea water. A huge ship was docked next to the pier, and many people stood on the ship and looked down.
A hundred feet away from the ship, a group of people were fighting. On the beach, there were dead bodies and obvious bloodstains.
On the ship, an old man with silver beard looked dignified. Looking at the fighting in the distance, he shook his head and said, "Leave some of the beginning and end matters to you young people. I should not interfere too much in the mundane affairs." After the old man finished speaking, he turned and left.
"Disciple obeys! Zixian, send Elder Jiang to rest!"
A middle-aged man with a short beard on the side bowed and saluted with a respectful expression. A sturdy young man hurriedly followed. The people around him also bowed and sent him off with respect.
The middle-aged man waited for the old man to walk back to the room of the ship, then turned around and clasped his fists to a handsome young man, saying, "Mr. Hong, please wait here. Meng will go to pick up the disciple!"
The young man smiled gently and bowed in return: "Thank you for your help, Elder Meng!"
These people were Meng Shan and his party. They met with their fellow disciples at the place agreed in advance, and then went out to sea by boat. The ship was too big and the coast was long, but there were not many places to dock the ship. This slightly remote pier is the place where the Tianlong Sect goes out to sea.
If they change to a ship on the sea, it would be too conspicuous. Meng Shan abandoned the ship of Master Liu, diverted the attention of the people in the martial arts world, and quietly led people to the river in the south of Tonghaizhou.
Meng Shan and others walked on the water for two days, abandoned the ship and went ashore, and each of them performed Qinggong to come to this secret place to go out to sea. But they were still spotted on the way, and they had to fight while walking, so they broke through the blockade of fellow martial artists and came to the seaside.
First, the young master Hong and others were sent to the ship, but the disciples who were with them fell behind and were trapped and could not get away for a while. Fortunately, the ship was already waiting at the dock, and they could set sail as soon as Meng Shan and his party got on the ship.
Meng Shan exerted force with his feet, and he jumped off the tall ship. Following him were some disciples on the ship, all of whom were agile and rushed towards the fighting crowd together.
On the beach, no less than 200 to 300 people surrounded 10 to 20 people and fought. Master Zhenyuanzi and his apprentice Mu Qing'er and his sister ran in front and gradually approached the ship, while the remaining disciples were trapped and could not escape for a while.
"Get on the boat!"
Meng Shan shouted, like a tiger entering a pack of wolves, "bang bang--" knocked down two men who were chasing him, and in a blink of an eye, he picked up Zhenyuanzi, Mu Qing'er and others. The disciples who rushed down from the boat waved their long swords and fought head-on. The surrounded disciples saw their fellow disciples coming to rescue, and their momentum was boosted. They gradually got rid of the siege, fighting and retreating, and approached the ship.
Seeing the Tianlong Sect disciples retreat, these people in the rivers and lakes, relying on their large numbers, waved their weapons and chased after them. It is also worth boasting that they can kill the world's largest sect and make it flee. Unfortunately, the Tianlong Sect was afraid of attracting more people, so they had no intention of fighting and just wanted to get on the boat and leave. These inner disciples were not the subordinates of Master Liu. They were all first-class masters. Facing heavy siege, they fought and retreated without any confusion.
Meng Shan's support changed the situation greatly. After a while, the disciples who escaped ran onto the ship one after another.
Seeing that the disciples had all boarded the ship, Meng Shan was alone at the gangplank of the ship. He slapped away the single knife that was coming towards him, turned his head and shouted: "Sail!"
Twenty or thirty strong men suddenly appeared on the ship, and they all leaned down from the boat with bamboo poles and pushed hard towards the shore.
The huge ship trembled slowly, and Meng Shan took the opportunity to jump back and jumped onto the big ship. Before he could retract the gangplank, several people rushed over. He gathered strength in his palms and pushed out suddenly-
Several men who were about to reach the side of the ship cried out miserably, and were blown away by the swift palm wind, and hit the crowd behind them hard, and there was another howl.
"We want to go out to sea too!"
"Take us with you!"
"Brothers, get on board!"
"If you don't let me get on board, I'll kill you!"
These Jianghu men who had been chasing for half a day were anxious when they saw that the ship was about to leave the shore. They kept shouting and cursing, and several of them ran to the gangplank.
After Meng Shan repelled the enemy with one palm, he quickly grabbed the gangplank weighing more than 200 to 300 kilograms, and tried to pull it back to the ship with both arms. The side of the ship was no less than 20 feet high. Without the help of the gangplank, ordinary people could not get on board.
Just when these Jianghu men were desperate, they heard someone shouting from behind: "Wait a minute——"
