Gamers Are Fierce
Chapter 543 Giant Fish
North of Chenzhou City, on the Lingshui River.
Three huge building ships are sailing on the wide river. This type of sailing ship is as tall as a city. The ship is tall and wide at the bow. There is a tall steel bracket at the bow. The ship has three floors of buildings, with crossbows, windows, spear holes, and slinging equipment. It looks like a fortress. .
The hull is painted in bright colors of red and black,
The firepower of the ballistas and firearms installed on both sides of the ship can easily tear apart a small wooden ship, let alone an ordinary whale shark.
The lean sailor with dark skin quickly climbed up the mast, looked into the distance, and shouted to guide the commander below,
Dozens of soldiers stood on the deck, wearing armor and swords, with resolute faces, and their bodies swayed slightly with the deck.
These are soldiers from Wu Dewei. They are strong and well-trained.
Although he has no otherworldly abilities, he is able to hunt monsters with his sword and spear by relying on his command and control, bravery and fighting skills.
However, today's protagonists are not them.
Brother Zhu?
The young soldier ran across the deck and came behind Zhu Xuemin and others who were leaning on the railing overlooking the Lingshui. He cupped his hands and said, We will be at the fish demon soon. General Du is convening everyone to discuss countermeasures.
...
Zhu Xuemin looked at the vast and rugged water surface and murmured: The water in Linghe River is so turbid...
Where is the monk?
The young soldier smiled and said: The water in the Ling River is full of sand and has always been turbid. Otherwise, there would be no saying that the Ling River is turbid and the Wei River is clear.
Um.
Zhu Xuemin nodded noncommittally, turned around, and said calmly: Come on.
Several days had passed since Luo Siyuan came to him and told him that he wanted to kill the fish demon.
In the past few days, Luo Siyuan has found many more people.
And successfully persuaded the governor of Chenzhou to send troops to assist Luo Siyuan in killing the demon.
The person commanding the three ships this time was General Du Ting Huai Du, the nephew of the governor of Chenzhou.
Zhu Xuemin and others followed the soldiers into the high building of the building.
In the cabin, General Du Tinghuai, who was wearing Mingguang armor, was sitting in the first seat. He was tall, handsome, with a beard, and he vaguely resembled the governor.
Sitting beside him were several lieutenants,
In the two rows of seats in front of him, dozens of monks from Chenzhou City were sitting.
Including Wude Wei Xiaowei, Longhushan Taoist Priest, several great monks, and Luo Siyuan, who was wearing a purple robe, a Zhuangzi scarf, and holding a whisk.
Seeing Zhu Xuemin walking into the cabin, Luo Siyuan showed a kind smile to him,
General Du Tinghuai, who was sitting at the head of the table, also nodded and did not express his gratitude for his delay - Zhu Xuemin had previously saved the wife of the governor of Chenzhou, who was General Du's aunt, which was a favor to him.
Brother Zhu, please sit down.
Du Tinghuai waved his hand and asked his subordinates to pull chairs for Zhu Xuemin and others.
When Zhu Xuemin sat down,
He coughed lightly, glanced at the monks below, and said slowly: A few of them were invited to kill the fish demon just today.
In order to make it easier for everyone to understand the situation, I would like to ask Director Luo to explain the origin of the fish demon.
Luo Siyuan stood up with a wave of his whisk and said calmly: A few days ago, a ragged young man came to Pindao and begged Pindao to seek justice for him.
According to him, his surname was Xu Youqi, and his father Xu Wencai was a merchant from Nanjun.
A month ago, Xu Wencai hired a boat to carry goods through the Lingshui River. When he reached the middle of the river,
Suddenly strong winds rose, dark clouds pressed in, and lightning flashed.
Waves arose on the calm river,
A black fish head like a hill emerged from the water. It opened its bloody mouth and bit the cargo ship in half, swallowing all the people and cargo.
Xu Wencao was eaten by a fish demon, and the bad news spread back home. His wife and children were devastated.
The eldest sons of the Xu family vowed to avenge their father and went to Fu County, where the Lingshui River accident occurred, to report the crime.
Luo Siyuan paused, glanced at the Wude Guardsman sitting opposite, and said calmly: In the past few years, there have been many incidents of fish monsters hurting people in Fu County.
Originally, patrolling the world to hunt down evil spirits should be the duty of the Wu De Guards.
However, the Lingshui River is vast, winding, and the water is deep and turbid.
It is difficult to detect and search, and the fish demon is cunning and moves erratically.
Wu Dewei was dispatched several times, but could not find the whereabouts of the fish demon, so he simply put it aside - the fish demon did not appear frequently anyway.
The number of ships that hit rocks and sink in the Lingshui River every year far exceeds the number of ships that are destroyed by fish monsters.
When reporting to your superiors, you only need to blame all the ships destroyed by the fish demon on the reefs in the river.
The Xu family saw that reporting the demon's whereabouts was fruitless.
Then he sold off his property and raised funds, preparing to go to Longhu Mountain to seek help from experts to kill the fish demon and avenge his father.
Luo Siyuan sighed and said slowly: The brothers of the Xu family left home, took their money, and stayed at an inn in Fu County.
Unexpectedly, a fire broke out that night and completely burned the inn.
All the eldest brothers of the Xu family died. Only the younger brother Xu Youqi escaped. He traveled to Chenzhou and found Pindao.
He said that on the night of the fire, he heard the sound of gold and iron being chopped and killed.
It is suspected that someone secretly set the fire and deliberately killed the Xu brothers for money.
He was afraid that it was the fault of Fu County officials, so he did not dare to report it to the officials, and asked the poor to seek justice for him.
Although the poor Taoist has little talent and little knowledge, and is weak in cultivation, how can he stay out of the rough things he encounters on the road?
Then he followed him back to Fu County, and by means of the secret method, he summoned the ghosts of Xu's elder brother and interrogated the case.
Sure enough, he found something fishy and followed the clues to find Huang Silang, a wealthy local businessman in Fu County.
Pindao found the magistrate of Fu County with the Longhu Mountain token and asked him to arrest Huang Silang and bring him for interrogation.
The county magistrate didn't believe it at first.
Huang Silang was originally just a poor fisherman. A few years ago, he had no idea how lucky he was. He dug out a piece of nugget gold by the river.
By selling gold capital, he started doing business and accumulated tens of thousands of dollars in just a few years.
On weekdays, he often donates money and materials to build bridges and roads in Fu County, which has a good reputation in the local area.
After Pindao's kind words and advice, the magistrate of Fu County sent out patrols to arrest Huang Silang.
Unexpectedly, under torture, he would be implicated in a shocking case.
Luo Siyuan looked sad and said: Huang Silang said that he had seen the Lingshui River God in his dream a few years ago. The river god promised that as long as Huang Silang paid tribute to him, he would be rewarded with wealth and honor for the rest of his life.
Huang Silang was half-convinced when he woke up. Just a few days later, his wife went into labor and gave birth to a baby girl.
The bad habit of drowning babies has been around since ancient times.
The little people in the fields between Yue and Hubei only raised two boys and one girl, but they often killed them if they passed by.
Often when giving birth, a container is used to store water, and then the baby is drowned immediately after giving birth, which is called washing the baby.
As a poor fisherman, Huang Silang was already overwhelmed with the burden of raising two sons.
Seeing that a baby girl was born, he simply took a boat to the Lingshui River, put the newborn girl into a wooden basin, and let it drift.
The wooden basin floated up and down in the water, and was eventually submerged by the river.
Early the next morning, Huang Silang picked up a piece of gold nugget the size of a human head floating on the shore.
