"Benefactor Xue, stay." Shanzhen opened his mouth to keep him. Shanzhen knew that Xue Yao's words were pretentious, but after thinking about it for a while, he still said: "The poor monk does have a method, but it is accidental." It is unknown whether it will be effective if it is acquired over time."

"Thank you, Master." Xue Yao stopped as he said, and raised his hand to salute Shanzhen earnestly.

Shanzhen held a copper bell in one hand, closed her eyes and drooped, and stood quietly in front of the window.At this time, his whole body exudes a moon-white light, making him look a bit like a Buddha.A moment later, the brass bell in his hand floated for no reason, circled around Xue Yao's temple by itself, and returned to Shanzhen's hand.

With the crisp sound of the last "ding", Xue Yao suddenly opened his eyes.

His eyes were blank for a moment, and then there seemed to be a flash of light from his eyes.

Then the two began to stare at each other.

"Did you think of anything?" Shanzhen stared into Xue Yao's eyes and asked seriously.

"No." Xue Yao blinked and replied truthfully.

Shanzhen was unwilling to solve the soul cleansing technique for Xue Yao just now, but now he asked a little unwillingly: "Did you just silently recite the formula I taught you in your heart?"

"That's natural." Xue Yao pulled out the silver needle stuck in his chest by himself, and rolled up his collar nonchalantly.He changed his bandit leader's hooligan style, and even said politely: "We have tried it four times just now, so it can be seen that this technique is indeed difficult to crack, and it is difficult to be a master."

It was rare to pry a few good words out of Xue Yao's mouth, but Shanzhen didn't listen carefully. He was still thinking about what went wrong when he cast the spell just now.When Xue Yao said goodbye to him, he didn't come back to his senses, he closed the door to see off the guests in a daze, and sat back on his bed to continue thinking.

After a day and night of inadvertent eating and drinking, Xue Yao's mood at the moment is much calmer.He knew that this kind of magic imported from the Western Regions was not so easy to break.Fortunately, now that I know the direction, there will always be clues if I walk in this direction.

The moonlight tonight is just right, and the silvery white light spreads softly on the deck. Xue Yao walked to his room under the moonlight.His kung fu has been practiced to the extreme, even when walking on a moving boat, there is no sound from his feet.

When passing by Lin Jinhuan's room, Xue Yao saw that the candles in the window were still on, and a thought flashed in his mind for a moment.

Should I go in and say hello to him, Xue Yao pondered in his heart.The two hadn't seen each other since the night before, and the atmosphere became inexplicably awkward.

Xue Yao followed his heart, and was about to knock on Lin Jinhuan's door.At this time, there was a sudden sound from behind the door, as if Lin Jinhuan had noticed the movement outside the door.

Forget it, Xue Yao thought.For a while, he didn't know what he could say to Lin Jinhuan. Anyway, the future will be long, and the matter will be exposed after a long time.

Xue Yao thought so, and then quietly fled to his room.

Lin Jinhuan was standing quietly behind the door at the moment, when he heard the sound of people leaving outside the door, he put down his hand that was about to open the door in a somewhat dumbfounded manner.

After Xue Yao left, Shanzhen still did not give up. After closing the doors and windows, he returned to the case and devoted himself to studying the matter of soul washing.It's just that Shanzhen was seriously injured and ran long distances for days, and unconsciously fell asleep in front of the desk.

At night, there was a loud "boom" sound outside the door, and Wei Ziyao, who was sleeping, lost his hands and fell under the table, causing the little dandy to grin his teeth in pain.With sleepy eyes, he grabbed the leg of the chair and barely stood up.

"Hiss..." Wei Ziyao supported his almost broken waist, opened his eyes and looked around.

Unexpectedly, just as he stabilized his figure, the loud noise came again, this time followed by the violent shaking of the cabin.Wei Ziyao couldn't hold on for a while and fell to the ground again.This time he realized that the situation was not good, and he didn't care about other things at the moment, and hurriedly ran out of the cabin.

As soon as the cabin door was opened, a damp mist rushed in.Outside the cabin, it was completely white, and thick fog rose up on the vast river at some point.Their boat had already stopped moving forward, and was floating quietly in the river at this moment.

"Big cousin! Little cousin!"

The weird scene in front of him made Wei Ziyao dare not act rashly. He stood outside the door and shouted twice, but no one answered for a long time.

Cold sweat crawled up Wei Ziyao's back unknowingly. He collected himself and groped towards the direction of the light while holding on to the fence.Although he has 1 unwillingness to leave the cabin at this moment, only being with Lin Jinhuan and others in this situation can ensure safety.

Suddenly Wei Ziyao noticed someone walking towards him five feet away, he stopped and stood against the wall, and shouted, "Who's there?"

Jing Lan's voice came from the white mist, and Jing Lan said softly, "Young Master Wei, it's me."

Wei Ziyao's heart fell back into his stomach in an instant, and he walked quickly towards the direction of the voice: "Little old-fashioned! I'm here! What's going on here?"

Jing Lan's footsteps sounded not far away, at this moment Wei Ziyao couldn't see Jing Lan's face, he could only hear Jing Lan say: "The situation is different, the sect master ordered me to take you away quickly."

Hearing that, Wei Ziyao stopped in his tracks. He stood there looking at a point in the fog, and said, "Jing Lan, I just fell on my foot. Come here and help me."

Jing Lan responded, and strode towards Wei Ziyao.

Just when Jing Lan came in front of Wei Ziyao, a lotus dart shot out from Wei Ziyao's sleeve and sank straight into the visitor's chest, exploding a cloud of blood mist in the ubiquitous moisture.

"What kind of bastard are you?" Wei Ziyao stepped forward and kicked the corpse lying on the ground, and said, "How dare you pretend to be our Jinglan..."

Before Wei Ziyao finished speaking, the ship began to shake violently again.Wei Ziyao's foot was unstable, and he was about to fall off the fence and fall into the river with the corpse.

At this moment, a hand appeared out of nowhere, grabbed his collar, and threw him roughly back onto the deck.

"Young Master Wei! Are you okay!"

Before Wei Ziyao could catch his breath, Jing Lan involuntarily picked up his collar and dragged him into the nearest cabin.

***

Lin Jinhuan and Xue Yao stood back to back on the deck, holding their breath, staring at the thick fog in the darkness.

Jing Li and the others were scattered in all directions on the ship, and everyone was ready, no one dared to take it lightly.

The fog on the river became thicker and thicker, and even the lights on the shore disappeared, and it seemed that only this small boat remained in the vast world.

There were some imperceptible tremors in the ubiquitous moisture.Xue Yao's ears moved slightly, and he whispered, "Here we are."

Before Xue Yao pointed out the direction, Lin Jinhuan's palm had already flown out, heading straight for a point in the darkness.

The palm wind exploded in mid-air, and a small beam of strong light burst out. Only then did everyone see clearly that there were several arm-thick iron chains hidden in the mist.This chain is not extraordinary, the body of the chain is filled with pure spiritual power, standing upright in the dark night, like giant pythons ready to go.

Under Lin Jinhuan's powerful palm, the chains seemed to have spirituality, and they all retracted into the mist at the moment of head-on collision.

Xue Yao frowned slightly, and he looked in the direction where the chain disappeared and asked, "What the hell is this?"

"I don't know." Lin Jinhuan was disturbed by Qingmeng for no reason, his face was very displeased, he turned around and told Jingli and others: "Don't let this chain get close."

Before Lin Jinhuan could finish his sentence, the strange iron chain seemed to strike from all directions.Xue Yao reacted very quickly. The moment the chain appeared, he jumped up, and Shao Xiu's sword was unsheathed.Wherever the sword energy went, the chains all broke.

Lin Jinhuan broke several chains with his bare hands, and threw them on the deck with his backhand.The chain disappeared without a trace the moment it hit the ground.

Xue Yao looked down and said, "It looks like someone is urging the magic weapon."

Lin Jinhuan sneered, and walked forward: "I want to see what it is that is so shameless."

Although everyone on the deck tried their best to intercept it, the iron chain's attack was too fierce. When everyone was at a loss, several fish that slipped through the net violently hit the hull.

Under this heavy blow, the boat was overwhelmed and swayed violently.

"What's going on here?" Wei Ziyao hugged a pillar in the cabin, and managed to stabilize himself.His stomach had already begun to churn.

Jing Lan sealed the window with a spell given to him by Xue Yao, and blew out the candle before coming to Wei Ziyao's side and saying, "We have reached the waters in Lin'an, half an hour ago someone dived into the boat and killed Boatman. We were surrounded by thick fog when we discovered the anomaly."

"Who is the other party?" Wei Ziyao looked around, he regretted not carefully checking the corpse outside the door just now.

"Not yet." Jing Lan said truthfully.

While the two were talking, the ground shook again, and this time the shaking was particularly violent.Jing Lan didn't dodge in a hurry, and was bumped into the wall by an oncoming cabinet.

Wei Ziyao stared wide-eyed at Jing Lan pushing away the cabinet and struggling towards him, he saw his pale face in Jing Lan's pupils.

"scene…"

Wei Ziyao felt his eyes go dark, and a piece of wood fell from the top of his head and hit his head.Immediately afterwards, the soles of his feet were empty, and he fell straight into the water.

Hundreds of chains struck from all directions, and the spikes at the top of the chains easily pierced the ship's plank and sank straight into the hull. The entire ship was torn apart in an instant.

Lin Jinhuan grabbed Xue Yao's hand and pulled him onto a piece of floating wreckage, so that Xue Yao was not swept to the bottom by the huge vortex in the water.

Xue Yao spat out the water in his mouth, coughed lightly, raised his head and asked, "Where's Wei Ziyao?"

Lin Jinhuan raised his eyes and looked around, then looked at Xue Yao who was drenched all over, and said calmly: "Die."

Xue Yao wiped his face and said, "It's better to die, it will cause trouble."

Lin Jinhuan looked at the protruding shoulder blades on Xue Yao's back, and couldn't help stretching out his hand to help him.Xue Yao stood up neatly at this moment, and Lin Jinhuan silently put his hands behind his back when he saw this.

"Bah! I'm still alive!"

A human voice came from not far away, and it turned out to be Wei Ziyao.Wei Ziyao heard Lin Jinhuan and Xue Yao's stupid words in a daze, and woke up from his coma on the spot with anger.He stared at Xue Lin who didn't know where he was going, and shouted angrily: "Are you still human! Hurry up and save me!"

Although Wei Ziyao is still alive, he is in critical condition.Jing Lan was thrown into the water by a chain and did not float up for a long time. At this moment, a huge iron chain was tightly entangled with Wei Ziyao, and was dragging him into the fog at an extremely fast speed.

Wei Ziyao turned around and glanced at the mysterious thick fog, and finally couldn't bear it anymore and said angrily: "You two cousins! Are you waiting for my body to be collected?!"

At this moment, a strong devilish energy came towards him with the will-o'-the-wisp, which made Wei Ziyao shut his mouth in shock.The devilish energy brushed Wei Ziyao's face and hit the iron chains around him with a piercing sound, and the chains split a big crack.

When the iron chain was about to be broken, Xue Yao descended from the sky holding the Shaoxiu sword, and broke the chain on Wei Ziyao's body with one sword.The collision of iron and iron stirred up sparks, illuminating Wei Ziyao's face full of surprise.

Wei Ziyao hadn't had time to be happy, another accident occurred on the court.I don't know what made this chain, but the broken iron chain turned into countless slender black snakes in mid-air.An ominous blood red shone in the black snake's eyes. They froze for a moment at the moment of transformation, and then, as if they had been instructed, they turned around and wound towards Xue Yao.

The accident happened so suddenly that Xue Yao only had time to grab Wei Ziyao's arm and throw him to Lin Jinhuan who was not far away. In the next instant, he was engulfed by countless black snakes.The little snakes wrapped themselves around his hands and feet, and dragged him into the bottom of the water at lightning speed.

"Xue Yao!"

Wei Ziyao looked at the huge splash on the river in horror, but didn't realize what happened for a while.

A burst of purple air suddenly rose from Lin Jinhuan's body. He grabbed the back of Wei Ziyao's neck and rushed towards the direction where Xue Yao disappeared.

When the two arrived, there was no trace of Xue Yao on the water, and there was only a whirlpool on the water with its mouth wide open, as if to swallow everything.

Lin Jinhuan didn't care whether Wei Ziyao could swim or not, and dragged him into the river together.The bottom of the river was extremely cold, and Wei Ziyao couldn't open his eyes in the tumbling sand.

Just when Wei Ziyao felt that he was about to drown, Lin Jinhuan brought him to the surface of the water.He threw Wei Ziyao on a piece of floating wreckage, and stood by himself looking at the dark river water for a long time without saying a word.

"Go to Xue Yao quickly, and that old-fashioned..." Wei Ziyao coughed on the wreckage for a long time before he could say a complete sentence, and halfway through the sentence he realized that he was dizzy.If Lin Jinhuan left at this moment, he might be playing into the enemy's hands.

Thinking of this, Wei Ziyao lowered his head, his whole body became quiet, and he fell down on the wooden plank in frustration.

Lin Jinhuan looked at the calming water, and finally said after a while, "It doesn't matter to me whether he lives or dies."

Originally, it was an irrelevant person.

Lin Jinhuan's voice was very soft, he didn't know whether he was speaking to Wei Ziyao or comforting himself.
