I was quick to think, and shouted loudly at Ba Ye.
I hope Ba Ye can really understand people's words and listen to my instructions like Tie Zhu.
But unfortunately, Ba Ye didn't know if it was because he was injured or frightened, so he didn't respond to my yelling, and kept screaming into the air.
I secretly groaned, I could only do my best to protect the wind lantern, and at the same time hoped that Master Jiu would come out of the water as soon as possible.
However, there was still no movement underwater, and it was very close to the longest time limit of Master Jiu in the water, which was 10 minutes.
I was so anxious, but there was nothing I could do.He could only try his best to guard the two wind lanterns, this was the guarantee for Master Jiu to come out smoothly.
And those water crows that flew up in fright did not want to give up attacking the wind lantern.It is understandable for them to attack Ba Ye, after all, they are wild, and Ba Ye is domesticated, and it is normal for birds to be xenophobic.But I don't know how this wind lantern provoked them.
After circling briefly, the water crows swooped down again in turn.
I had to wave the ghost whip in my hand again, whipping in the air non-stop.
At this time, the disadvantages of my use of the ghost whip came to the fore.The frequency of my whipping is too slow, and it takes a few seconds for each whipping.And the accuracy is extremely poor. Although the whip whistle can explode, it has almost no effect.
The water crows also saw that the whip could not hit them accurately, and they also began to act recklessly.
They dodged my whip from the air, and swooped down as they croaked.
A few water crows had already grabbed the two lanterns.
Fortunately, the wind lamp was made very strong by Master Jiu. Although it was grabbed a few times, it still didn't fall off.
However, these water crows became more and more courageous, and after realizing that I was not a big threat to them, they even started to attack me again.
The situation is getting more and more critical, and the wind lamp will probably fall if it can't withstand a few more attacks.And I was also attacked, and I was at a loss.
Seeing a large area of water crows swooping down, the eighth master hid in the cabin long ago, knowing that it was invincible.
The whip is not easy to use, and the Jianglong wooden sword was given to Lord Jiu again. How can I save this situation?
Chapter 1672
Under the critical situation, I suddenly thought of something.
slingshot.
To wear the slingshot Shanjia gave me.
Shooting birds with a slingshot is a perfect match.
This idea flashed in my mind, and I slapped the whip to disperse the few birds that were about to fall.Taking advantage of this opportunity, I quickly pulled out the slingshot.
I carry this slingshot with me all the time, and the pellets are in my pocket.
Chuanshanjia taught me that there are several different types of projectiles that can be used.I can also make simple projectiles by myself.Among them, the most lethal one is a kind of steel ball.
This kind of steel ball is very lethal, and I won't use it until a critical moment.
But today, I can't control that much anymore, and decided to use the strongest steel ball.
The way Chuanshanjia taught me to shoot the slingshot is not to aim, but to shoot with your eyes and heart.
I have practiced this countless times. Although the accuracy is still a lot worse, the distance between these birds is not very far now.I'm pretty confident hitting them.
And I've also noticed that it's very hard to hit them while they're flying all the way through the sky.
But when they fall and want to destroy the wind lamp, they usually stay relatively still for a short period of time.This time is the best time for me to shoot the slingshot.
I quickly put the steel ball in the bomb pocket, with my right hand in front, and my left hand pulled the rubber band.
This is also the habit I changed from learning slingshot with Lao Jia.
At this time, a water crow just flew down again, before it landed on the lantern, with a snap, my projectile shot.
Before leaving Shenzhen, I have been practicing the Jedi Three Moves and this slingshot.The effort in slingshot is no less than the Jedi three strokes.
More often than not, I carry a slingshot with me to practice movements and correct habits.
So when I was going to hit the same target with a slingshot, my habits and movements came from my heart, basically forming a set pattern.
At that time, I just thought that if I practiced this well, I might be able to use it in the future.Because of Chuan Shanjia's wonderful slingshot technique, it is very useful and effective in actual combat.
Unexpectedly, this slingshot came in handy so soon.
When I was practicing, I was always training dead targets, setting up a target, putting some balloons, table tennis and other targets, and today it was finally time for actual combat, and I was hitting living creatures.
Compared with when I usually practice, today's target is closer. Although it is a living thing, it basically tends to be still when it falls to the wind lamp, so the difficulty is actually much smaller.
I am very confident about this. After the projectile was sent out, it hit the water crow that was already close to the wind lantern without any mistakes.
"Zha..." The water crow was hit by the projectile, and after only half a cry, it fell from the air, fell into the water with a plop, and was instantly submerged by the river.
I hit it with one hit, which gave me a lot of confidence. Soon, I fired three more projectiles into the air.
pop... pop... pop...
The rubber band of the slingshot rang three times rhythmically, and the three projectiles were shot out quickly.
Since the water crows in the air are very active, it is a bit difficult to fight.But one of the pellets also hit the Raven, and the other two were sent flying.
I knocked down two water crows in one breath, and the other water crows were also frightened.
There is a difference between this kind of bird and beasts. Their group attack is not very strong. After finding that one of the same kind was beaten, other birds also fled in all directions.
Fluttering...for a while, the water crows surrounding the boat scattered and fled.
I was having a good time, and I fired four more rounds in a row.Two bombs hit and two missed.One of the water crows that was hit just landed on the bow of the boat.
The surviving birds scattered like birds and beasts, and soon disappeared into the black mist.
Satisfied with my grades, I looked down at the jay that had fallen in the bow.
On its chest and abdomen, the feathers were smashed, and a blood hole appeared.Obviously that was its fatal wound, the projectile pierced through the chest, full of lethality.
"Wow..." At this moment, the water surface suddenly turned upside down, and Master Jiu emerged from below again.
I was overjoyed and just wanted to talk to him.But he soon discovered that there was another person who stood up with him.
However, this person did not get out of the water with his head, but his feet came up first, and he floated on the water in an upside-down posture.
For the person standing upside down, the calves and feet below the knees were out of the water, and the body above the knees was still hidden in the water.
Although the current was very fast, the person suspended there upside down was very stable.
After Master Jiu came out of the water, he quickly swam to the side of the boat, turned over and got on the boat.
I wanted to ask Master Jiu, but found that Master Jiu's complexion was not very good, his face was pale, and his breath was not stable.
I handed the wine jar to Lord Jiu, but this time he waved his hand, panted for about half a minute, and finally calmed down a little.
"The whip..." Master Jiu stretched out his hand.
I understood and quickly handed the ghost whip to his hand.
With the whip in his hand, Master Jiu suddenly became proud. He stood on the bow of the boat and stared at the two calves in the water.
It was obviously a corpse, because the skin color of the calf was soaked white, without any blood color, and it didn't look elastic at all, but it didn't rot.If it weren't for seeing that he still has a pair of feet, it would be very vivid to say that they are two pieces of off-white wood.
Those two lower legs have been standing in the water, neither drifting far nor approaching the boat.
Master Jiu waved his hand suddenly, and I heard the sound of the wind, and the ghost whip was thrown out.
Master Jiu's method of swinging the whip is much better than mine.
With a snap, the whip slammed on that calf accurately.
The calf swayed slightly, but it was not knocked down, it just moved a little bit, and stood upright again.
Immediately afterwards, Master Jiu swung the whip again, smacking, slapping, lashing the two calves continuously.
Master Jiu was like pumping a spinning top in the water, clanging loudly.
I don't understand why Master Jiu would do this.My intuition tells me that the corpse standing upside down in the water is very likely to be the century-old corpse.
It is its existence that caused our ship to be embraced by corpses.
It seemed that Master Jiu wanted to solve this problem, and he was the one who brought the corpse out of the water.
Master Jiu was still beating him constantly, and I couldn't take my eyes off him. After beating continuously, I finally saw a little change in the corpse.
At the beginning, those two calves were like two pieces of white wood, and the whip hit them without leaving any marks.
But after Master Jiu whipped the whip more than a dozen times, it seemed that there were streaks of blood on the calf.
That was a corpse, why would there be blood?
I looked more and more curious.And as the whip was whipped up more and more times, the blood on that calf became heavier and heavier.
Chapter 1673
The frequency of Master Jiu's whip whipping was getting faster and faster, and he himself was a little out of breath, but it could be seen that he didn't dare to relax at all, for fear that if he stopped, his previous efforts would be wasted.
And as the blood on his calf became heavier and heavier, other parts of his body slowly floated up.
It turned out that there were only two calves, but gradually, the knees, thighs, and hips all emerged from the water.
It's just that his headlong posture still hasn't changed in any way.
The scope of Master Jiu's whipping also shifted from the calf to other parts exposed to the water.
Gradually, the other parts also showed different degrees of blood.
After almost the entire lower body of the corpse was covered with blood, Master Jiu finally shouted to me: "Yangzi, hurry up, sprinkle the grains in."
I responded, quickly grabbed two handfuls of grains, and threw them into the water where the corpse was.
The five grains fell into the water and disappeared. After half a minute, the lower body standing on the water suddenly began to slowly fall towards the water.
This process lasted about five or six minutes, and the two legs were parallel to the water with their hips.At the same time, the upper body of the corpse also turned from underwater to the surface.
Soon the body was lying flat on the water.
But it wasn't over yet, his body was still turning.Immediately after the feet and legs enter the water, the waist and chest and head slowly turn out of the water.
This corpse in the water, after being whipped by Lord Jiu, finally changed from an upside-down posture to a normal upright posture.
It's just that his back is still facing us. When his lower body entered the water and his upper body stood upright on the water, I still couldn't see his face.
It wasn't until the corpse stood upright on the water that Master Jiu stopped beating.
Obviously Master Jiu's whipping was for this purpose, to make the upside-down corpse stand upright.
"Yangzi, there is a box in the cabin, take out the gong inside." Jiuye said suddenly.
I hurried into the cabin, and sure enough, I found a gong in the box inside.There are many miscellaneous things inside, obviously Master Jiu has come prepared.
That copper gong is smaller than normal copper gongs, with a diameter of about [-] centimeters. It looks black on the surface, and I don't know why.But it's not hard to imagine that this should also be a magic weapon of Master Jiu.
In Taoism, things like gongs are often used as magic tools.Uncle San and Fatty and I often use this kind of objects, such as the soul-shaking gong that Uncle San used back then.
I quickly handed the gong to Lord Jiu. Master Jiu held the gong in one hand, and with the other hand, he used the stick of the ghost whip to hit the gong directly.
The sound of the gong was not crisp, but rather dull, and the sound did not travel too far, as if the surface of the gong was covered with a layer of cloth.
Every time the gong was struck, Lord Jiu would read a sentence.
"With one heart and one heart wearing a beautiful face, there are eight evils in the heavens. Everything is a change of Xuanji, and no martingale will pass through the void. The cold water of the Taiyin is dry, and the yin and yang of the upper and lower clear caves. Emperor Zhao has forgiveness and will not stay. Take you to the three realms. Go back to the clan."
And the corpse suspended in the water kept rising and falling with Jiuye's gong sound.Sometimes it rises above the surface of the water, and sometimes it falls into the water and is submerged.
After repeating this several times, he finally sank to the bottom of the water and never came up again.He didn't turn around from the beginning to the end, and kept his back to us.
After he entered the water, I actually saw a string of bubbles left on the surface of the water.
When he was completely submerged in the water, Master Jiu heaved a sigh of relief, handed the gong to me again, and said, "Okay."
After speaking, Master Jiu sat down on the boat again, picked up the wine jar and took a few sips of wine.
I asked: "Master Jiu, is it his fault that the corpse hugged the boat?"
Master Jiu nodded: "It's him. A man who fell into the water and drowned, his body stood upside down, with a lot of grievances. It's been at least 150 years, but I have already cleared up the grievances in his corpse and resolved his grievances. Later he should It can also be reincarnated."
I praised: "Jiu Ye, you have given him a degree of salvation."
"That's right. I went into the water a few times just to find him. At the beginning, he refused to see me and kept avoiding me. He also made a bunch of corpse blood plants, and I almost caught fire."
Then, Master Jiu returned the Jianglong wooden sword to me: "Thanks to this thing, I used it to split the water plants and found him. No matter what the process is, the ending is good."
"Master Jiu, why does he keep his back to us?"
