With the temple master taking action, he didn't think that everyone on the boat would be killed. The only unlucky ones would be the bandits.

He has great confidence in the master.

The captain of the ship naturally didn't believe it.

The same was true of his boatmen.

Qin Yongming said:

"Let's make a bet. If it's as I said, you'll have to listen to me when you encounter this kind of situation in the future! If I say go, you'll have to sail away even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead."

"What if we are right?" the captain asked unconvinced.

"You are right. How about I give you a hundred taels of silver on the spot?"

Hearing the 100 taels, the boatman and the captain became excited and said confidently:

"Okay, I'll bet with you!"

"Everyone, hurry up and start the boat. I'll give you 50 taels of the 100 taels of silver I got from Butler Qin later!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the boatmen couldn't wait to start the boat.

They all felt that they were bound to win this round.

It took them about a moment to cover the distance of two miles, and they soon caught up with the official ship that had been stationary.

The captain took two crew members to the deck, wanting to see the situation on the ship more clearly, so that Qin Yongming could admit defeat sincerely.

However, when they looked at the deck over there, they were stunned.

I saw a group of boatmen and people dressed as ship guards carrying the bodies onto the small boat.

The corpses were dressed in black, with their faces covered. Most of them were strong and sturdy, and they were obviously pirates.

After a careful count, the number of pirates was frighteningly large.

There were already more than a dozen bodies dumped on the shore, and two small boats were still transporting them. There were at least a dozen bodies lying on the deck. In addition, there were a dozen or so bandits tied up, struggling from time to time, apparently they were captured alive.

The captain and the boatmen were stunned.

"Oh my goodness! The strength of this official ship is extraordinary. They managed to defeat so many pirates!"

The river channel in the Jeju section is only ten zhang wide, and two large ships are passing through, with the distance between the decks of both sides being only about two zhang wide.

The captain's voice easily reached the other side.

A guard who was carrying the corpse laughed when he heard this:

"Brother, you are too kind. We don't have the ability to defeat so many pirates! We were almost wiped out last night!"

The captain was very puzzled:

"So what's going on now?"

The guard said mysteriously:

"You may not believe this, but all of us on this boat were saved by a god last night!"

The captain and others really didn't believe it.

There are no such things as gods in this world. He has been sailing for so many years and has never encountered those ghosts and gods that are rumored.

However, after hearing the guards' words, the other guards and boatmen who were carrying the corpse all looked pious.

"Yes, thanks to the gods' timely arrival, otherwise all of us on this boat would have been killed by those pirates."

At this point, the people on the boat seemed to resonate with the topic and spoke out one after another, telling them how thrilling the situation was last night.

How many incredible things happened after the gods came to power.

It would be fine if only the guards on the boat said this, as they always like to brag. But later the passengers also joined in.

All the passengers on the boat were either rich or noble, and among them was an official in official uniform.

Lian Guan said respectfully and piously that he would tell the local officials to build a temple for the deity here, so as to repay the deity for appearing to protect the river.

When he said this, a fat wealthy businessman with a weak face immediately said that he would donate one thousand taels to build a temple for the Venerable.

Because he was stabbed on the neck by the pirates and was almost dead. It was the immortal who cast a spell and saved his life.

Moreover, he not only wanted to build a temple here, but also built one when he returned to his hometown so that he could worship there frequently in the future.

After hearing this, the captain and several boatmen looked dazed.

Gods really do exist!

"Do you know the name of that deity? I want to go and worship him someday!"

This deity truly appears to save lives when there is danger. People like them who are sailing and often encounter all kinds of bandits really need him!

"The immortal calls himself the Venerable Du'e."

The captain and the boatmen also remembered this name deeply.

Not only were the boatmen and the captain greatly shocked, but even the servants who followed Qin Yongming out were shocked and regretful.

"What a pity! If our boat had sailed faster last night, we could have seen the divine apparition with our own eyes!"

Only Qin Yongming, who knew the inside story, smiled and said nothing.

Although he had never known that the master had such a powerful way of killing, he was indeed a little surprised.

But after the surprise, I was filled with pride.

This is the master of the temple that their Qin family follows. He is so powerful that no one in the world can match him!

Others can only chant a name and make vague offerings, but they, the Qin family, can actually follow the master and serve him, and receive his grace and blessings!

What an honor and luck it is!

After this incident, Qin Yongming's piety to his own master reached a new level.
