I have an eternal eye

The white mist was hazy and the river was in a mess.

Wow!

Wang Xin picked up a triangular flag from the river, with a white background and a red edge, and the word "Zheng" written on it.

"It's a escort flag."

He fiddled with the flag a few times, shook his head and said, "Brother Tie told me about the style of the escort flag, sixteen cloud patterns, which means that this escort agency has been in escort service for sixteen years."

"Zheng, the golden sword of Huaizhou, is really brave!"

The Zheng family of Jin Dao is a large family in Huaizhou. Not only are they local tycoons, many of their descendants have become officials in the court, and they are also quite famous in the world.

Huaizhou has many mineral deposits, including gold, silver, copper and iron. Due to the steep terrain, there have been many green forest tyrants and bandits since ancient times. Therefore, the Zheng family set up a bodyguard bureau.

In the past, there was also a branch of the Zheng Family Escort Agency in the capital, but it was withdrawn before the conflict between the imperial court and the local area.

"If you dare to transport goods in the fog, you must be brave..."

As Zhang Biao spoke, he pulled the body with a bamboo pole. After examining it carefully, he said thoughtfully: "The river is a little unsafe, so be careful."

The lower half of the corpse had disappeared, and the fractures were full of lacerations, obviously bitten off by something.

Wang Xin had naturally seen it too and looked around cautiously.

At this time, it was already the boundary of Huaizhou. The river was becoming more and more rapid. There were cliffs on both sides, strange pines and slanting trees, and apes were constantly crying. There was no place to go ashore.

Wow!

At this moment, another big boat appeared on the river ahead. The sails were beating and the speed was fast. The huge "Zheng" flag was flying fiercely.

There were many men standing on the boat. Although they were wearing military leather armor, they all rolled up their sleeves and held crossbows. They were said to be soldiers, but they looked more like jocks.

"Who is it, stop!"

"Stop the ship immediately!"

Although it was covered by thick fog and could only see within a hundred meters, these people were all good at water and could naturally distinguish the number and size of ships through the sound of water.

"Spring is always there in heaven and earth, and the compass determines everything!"

"Everyone, don't be nervous."

Zhang Biao spoke loudly and said a code word.

While speaking, he also took off his Nuo noodles.

This is the incision of the Heaven and Earth Gate. If he finds Tie and Wang's family during this trip, he will take them to Cui Laodao. Using the name of the Heaven and Earth Gate can save a lot of trouble.

"Heaven and Earth Gate?"

At this time, the two ships were about 100 meters away. A young man in white clothes on the bow of the ship saw the appearance of the two men and said suspiciously: "The Gate of Heaven and Earth has been withdrawn a long time ago. You are coming from Taizhou now. Are you spies from the imperial court?"

Zhang Biao was speechless, "If it were a spy, wouldn't it be more hidden if he traveled over the mountains and ridges? How could he come by boat?"

"snort!"

The young man in white snorted and said nothing. He looked at the fragments of ships around him and said coldly: "Have you ever seen who attacked our Zheng family fleet?"

Zhang Biao shook his head, "I just came here and I haven't seen him before."

The young man in white narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Wang Xin, "Friend, why are you covering your face?"

Wang Xin said in a muffled voice: "I'm sick and can't see the wind."

The young man in white clothes on the boat sneered: "You are sneaky, and you probably have ulterior motives. Capture him immediately, lest I wait to take action!"

It's so shameless...

Zhang Biao frowned and prepared to take action.

This is how it is in the world of martial arts. Sometimes you have to show your sword before others can reason with you.

At this moment, he looked towards the river with a shiver in his heart.

I saw a huge black shadow rising rapidly from the water.

"Master, there is something down there!"

The experienced sailors on the ship immediately realized something was wrong.

However, it was already too late.

There was only a roar, the water rose several feet high, and a small boat-sized snakehead broke out of the water and hit the deck heavily.

This thing is extremely fierce, with two huge fish eyes red, a mouth full of sharp teeth and fangs, and the scales all over its body flash with cold light.

Click!

The fish opened its mouth, and a sailor didn't even have time to scream. He was immediately bitten in two, with blood and flesh splattering everywhere.

Not only that, this big snakehead also twisted and jumped, its steel knife-like scales sliding across the crowd, leaving a bloody mess.

"It's a river monster!"

Everyone in the Zheng family was startled and backed away.

They also reacted quickly. Some wielded steel knives, some stabbed with guns, and the rest fired crossbows.

Ding ding ding!

A series of sparks burst out, unable to penetrate the fish scales.

On the contrary, this big snake jumped and jumped, smashing a hole in the bow of the Zheng family's ship, twisting its waist and rushing into the water.

The ship suddenly became dewy and tilted slowly.

A sailor fell into the water due to instability and was swallowed by the fangs in the water. For a moment, the river surface surged with blood.

Whoosh!

At this moment, three black lights flew in and directly hit the snakehead. Black lines suddenly spread on the opponent's body, and he let out a sharp roar and rushed into the water.

All this is just a breath away.

Zhang Biao then said: "This is the thing that harmed you guys, the Zheng family fleet. Can we leave?"

The young man in white was about to cry, but he didn't know he kicked the iron plate. He forced himself to hold his hands and said: "This immortal master is just a fool, so please take action..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw the snakehead rising slowly, its white belly facing the sky, and there was no movement at all.

Zhang Biao naturally knew what he was doing.

This snakehead looks ferocious, but it is only a first-class creature. It is likely that it was not small in size originally. After awakening its bloodline, it relied on the toughness of its scales and its advantage in the water to wreak havoc, so it could not withstand his curse.

But the way everyone in the Zheng family looked at him had changed.

The Zheng family was a local gentry, and some of their disciples came to Xuandu Temple. Although they were not yet accomplished in their studies, they also met several Taoist priests.

The Taoist priest from Xuandu Temple searched the river for several days, but only injured the river monster and left in a hurry due to business, causing the Zheng family to suffer a lot of losses.

This man kills the fish monster as soon as he takes action, which is definitely not easy.

Thinking of this, the white-clothed young man of the Zheng family became more cautious, "Thank you so much, Master Immortal, for your help. Please go to Shanyin Ferry to rest, so that the Zheng family can fulfill their duties as landlords."

"Sanyin Ferry? That's fine."

Zhang Biao wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it he agreed. After all, as the first ferry into Huaizhou, Tie and Wang would probably stay there...

…………

"The river monster is dead!"

Before we even got close, the ferry was already boiling.

The Zheng family reluctantly blocked the opening of the boat and dragged the fish tail with a hemp rope. They also sent people back to report in advance, so the ferry was already crowded with people.

Zhang Biao looked calm and looked up.

This Shanyindu is a huge river bend, with high mountains and dense green forests behind it. It is located right in the shadow of the mountain.

Like Qinglong Ferry, Shanyin Ferry also looks like a military camp, with sentries built one after another.

The difference is that there are many people here, and when they see the corpse of Wu Chan, some people burst into tears.

"Son, this thing is dead!"

"Uncle, have you seen it! Woo hoo..."

Others threw stones, which made the scales jingle and sparks fly.

"Don't mess around!"

The white-clothed young master of the Zheng family had given his name, Zheng Yongxiang. When he saw people beating the fish carcasses, he quickly stopped him. Then he sweated on his forehead and cupped his hands at Zhang Biao and said, "Master Zhang Xian, don't blame me. The people at the ferry have been troubled by this river monster for a long time." , many disciples died in Yukou."

"It doesn't matter."

Zhang Biao waved his hand, "If you want this, you can take it if the price is right."

A first-grade fish monster was of no use to him, and besides, eating human flesh made him feel sick even when stewing soup.

As for those scaly fish bones, their grade is too low, and it would be a waste of time to use them to refine weapons.

"Thank you, Master Immortal!"

Zheng Yongxiang's eyes were full of excitement and his mouth was trembling, "The Zheng family will definitely satisfy the immortal master."

Zhang Biao's heart moved slightly and he said, "I would like to ask, how do you want to deal with this thing?"

Zheng Yongxiang hesitated for a moment, then cupped his hands and said: "I dare not hide it from the Immortal Master. I have disciples of the Zheng family who are studying in Xuandu. News comes back. Whether it is the corpses of monsters, rare treasures, or even news about wonderful places, they can be found on the mountain." In exchange for resource magic weapons."

"Oh I got it…"

Zhang Biao understood instantly.

The sects from various places control the human world, undoubtedly relying on the hands of the people to pool resources. The situation has become clear, and naturally there is no need to hide it.

"Master Immortal please..."

The boat stopped and docked. Zheng Yongxiang respectfully led the way. Zhang Biao was not in a hurry to ask. After looking around, he was attracted by a small temple.

It was a river temple, with many people and soldiers coming in and out. The temple was filled with green smoke and the incense was very strong.

The ferry has strong steam and thick fog. The surrounding houses are all damp and covered with moss. Only the temple walls are unusually dry.

This is a sign that there is a secular god in the temple.

He learned the inheritance of Weisui, and even without wearing a Nuo mask, he could tell the difference based on the direction and signs of the incense.

Seeing this, Zheng Yongxiang quickly explained: "This was built by an immortal master from Xuandu Temple for us. Since the establishment of this temple, there are no ghosts around, but there is nothing we can do about the river monster."

Zhang Biao nodded slightly and said nothing. In fact, he was secretly running his spiritual eyes and already knew the information about this temple.

Shanyin Duhe Temple (Yellow Grade 1)

1. Xuandu was built by the Taoist Guanxuyuan. It used the method of pretending to be dirty to condense the incense, and turned the ghosts into river gods. They ate the incense and protected one side.

2. Can use magic: Insinuations, within the scope of the divine domain, you can use the power of incense to drive away ghosts.

3. Seal of Dharma, controlled by Xuandu Temple...

Declare a secular god?

Zhang Biao's face was expressionless, but he was alert in his heart.

Although the Shanyin Crossing River God is weak, it represents a different meaning, which is far superior to the Fire and Luo Sect.

In "Youxian Ji", Tu Lingzi once mentioned Xuandu Temple, saying that they are also Shinto, but they are ancestral spirits.

To put it simply, the ancestors who are successful in the practice of Guanzhong will enter the Shinto, and the disciples will learn to use some talismans and altars through receiving urn. The more the ancestor's spirit is, the more powerful the talisman will be.

Being able to enthrone secular gods shows that they are likely to have the ghosts of masters just like the Slaughter Cult.

Maybe it's another form, but without the ancestral spirits, their spells can't work at all.

"Master Zhang Xian, please follow me."

Zheng Yongxiang naturally didn't know what Zhang Biao was thinking, and with a respectful face, he led Zhang Biao into a camp in the center of the ferry.

He was the person in charge of the Zheng family at Shanyindu, and he also received military power. After entering the camp, he asked people to get things done quickly, and quickly prepared a banquet.

The wine is mountain spring fermented wine, a specialty of Huaizhou.

The dishes are mostly delicacies from mountains and rivers.

Zhang Biao and Wang Xin were on the road for days, and they ate all the hard bread. They were not polite when they saw this, and they ate nonsense.

Zheng Yongxiang finally saw Wang Xin's appearance, his heart trembled, his expression remained unchanged and he said: "May I ask Master Zhang, which sect you practice in?"

Zhang Biao shook his head and said: "It's just a wild cultivator..."

"Brother Zheng, this one is not simple!"

Before he finished speaking, a person walked in outside the tent and laughed loudly: "The famous Tai Sui in Yujing City is here, but he still doesn't say hello..."
