Master is unreliable

After returning to the room, Duan Li found a chair and sat down.

Chu Lan stood by the door and waited. Seeing that he didn't want to pay attention to her intentions, she carefully moved to the bed.

Chu Lan was lying on the bed, feeling very anxious. He was very concerned about the robbers mentioned by the strong man, and what other fairy gates and phantom realms were there. He was eager to know what they were.

The master had taught him to read and write, but he never talked about it.

Occasionally, in the market, Chu Lan went to the market with her master, and would squat by the small book stand to look through the small story books with shabby pages.In the storybook, there are fierce ghosts and evil gods, and fox goblins, but there is no mention of fairy gates, robbers, and the realm of phantoms.

Chu Lan frowned, thinking hard, and suddenly thought of something in her mind.That was two years ago, he heard a legend about the sea from the mouth of the old people in the village.

They said that thousands of years ago, there were many sea ghosts on the sea, and the sea ghosts would attack fishing boats and villages. Later, thanks to the immortals, they got rid of them and restored the peace on the sea.

sea ​​ghost...

Chu Lan wondered, could the sea ghost be what they called a thief?Wasn't the fairy——

Chu Lan's heart was pounding. The man surnamed Wang said that there were people from the fairy gate on the boat, so could he ask them for help and get rid of this evil spirit that occupied Master's body?

Thinking of this, Chu Lan turned her head cautiously, and glanced at Duan Li who was sitting on the chair with his back facing him. He took a breath and tried his best not to tremble in his voice: "Master."

no respond.

Chu Lan raised his voice again, but Duan Li still ignored him, not even moving.

Chu Lan got off the bed suspiciously, walked aside, and saw Duan Li propping his forehead with one hand, his eyes closed tightly, as if he was asleep.

Chu Lan boldly waved her hand in front of Duan Li, and whispered a few words about Master, but got no response. Chu Lan swallowed nervously, her eyes fell on Duan Li's back, and she moved towards the door little by little. move away.

Three steps, two steps, one step, Chu Lan's hand finally touched the doorknob, and before she could breathe a sigh of relief, she suddenly felt her feet sway. Fortunately, Chu Lan grabbed the doorknob and did not fall to the ground.

Chu Lan looked around and thought, "Is it windy at sea?"

Before it was too late to rejoice, the feet swayed violently again, and it was worse than the last time.

Although there was some leverage, Chu Lan still fell to the ground, holding the doorknob with both hands, his face pale as paper.Oops, with such a big commotion, the ghost must wake up.

Chu Lan turned her head, and sure enough, the person who was sitting on the chair disappeared, but she looked around, but she didn't find the ghost.

Chu Lan was puzzled, and when she lowered her head, she saw Liu Xi's body lying under the chair, motionless.

"Master..." Chu Lan was startled. Just as he said a word, he felt a strong attack. Then the ship tilted, and he slid down from the door, hitting his back hard on the chair.

Chu Lan groaned in pain, got up dizzy, the hull shook again, and he fell back again.

Many things in the room were overturned to the ground, and the water glass on the table fell to the ground with a crisp sound of "snap".Chu Lan covered her head with her hands, and in the confusion, she saw Liu Xi lying there in the same posture as before.

He didn't wake up from such a big movement.

No, it's not that I didn't wake up.

Chu Lan stared at Liu Xi's body, her heart pounding.He thought: That ghost, has he already left?

Chu Lan crawled to Liu Xi's body on both hands and feet, and shook his body with her hands, "Master, master."

no respond.

Chu Lan was finally sure that the ghost had left, and he was both happy and sad.

Chu Lan held Liu Xi's hand, and before she had time to say anything, she heard a sharp shout from the deck: "It's the thief! The thief——"

"Quick, go and inform Li Xianjun!"

"Help--"

There was a mess on the deck, and Chu Lan couldn't help shaking when she heard the screams from time to time.He shrank beside Liu Xi, buried his head between his arms, and hugged himself tightly.

After a while, Chu Lan raised his head from between his arms, turned his head and glanced at Liu Xi, then stood up as if he had made up his mind and walked out the door.He was going to see if it was the thief who slaughtered his village and killed his master.

After leaving the room, the hallway was quiet, except for the beeping sound of the candle burning, there was no other movement.

Chu Lan walked all the way to the deck according to memory.He didn't walk fast, every step was very light.The closer he got to the deck, the more nervous he became.

Finally, when Chu Lan got out of the cabin, she realized that the sky outside was very dark.

Although it was cloudy today and there was no sunlight, it was noon at this time, but the sky at this time seemed to have entered night, which was obviously abnormal.

Chu Lan looked up, and saw the dark clouds rolling in the sky, and the surrounding wind was gusty. In addition to the salty and wet smell of the sea, there was also a strong smell of blood in the wind.

All this reminded him of the night when the village was attacked, Chu Lan's face turned pale.He lowered his head to look for the figure of the thief, but he only saw the corpses of a few crew members lying across the deck.

In addition, Chu Lan also found that there was a huge sailing boat next to the merchant ship.

It was only then that Chu Lan realized what was causing the turbulence of the ship just now. It turned out that it had collided with the thief's ship.

The sound of sharp weapons hitting each other came from the sea, Chu Lan strengthened her courage and moved towards the side of the boat.A big hand suddenly stretched out from the corner to cover Chu Lan's mouth, and dragged him aside.

Chu Lan was shocked and struggled violently. At this moment, he heard a very low voice whispering in his ear: "Shh, young master, it's me. Don't be afraid."

Chu Lan recognized that the owner of the voice was the strong man who knocked on his door in the morning, so she relaxed and stopped struggling.

The strong man hugged Chu Lan and hid in the corner, and said in a low voice, "Why are you alone, where is your master?" Chu Lan shook her head, and pulled the strong man's hand covering his mouth.

The strong man let go, and said in a low voice: "You don't want to stay in the room, what are you doing out? I'll take you back." He picked up Chu Lan and moved towards the cabin.

Just at this moment, two figures leaped into the sky and fought together.

One of them was dressed in black armor with a half mask of a ghost on his face. Chu Lan looked at that man, his eyes widened.

Heijia, ghost face, it's them!

It was the devil who attacked his village and killed his master!

Perhaps Chu Lan's eyes of hatred were too fierce. After the thief eliminated his opponent, his gaze swept over with incomparable accuracy, and he grinned at Chu Lan with a bloodthirsty smile.

The strong man yelled, "Oops!"

The strong man ran away, not wanting a gust of wind to blow from behind, the strong man hugged Chu Lan and fell to the ground.Along with Chu Lan, there was also a dagger that fell out of the strong man's arms.

Chu Lan was dizzy from the fall, and when she looked up again, she saw several figures falling from the sky and hitting the deck hard.

The clothes of those people were different from those of the strong man and other people on the ship. Chu Lan guessed that they were the immortals invited by the owner of the merchant ship.

Sure enough, the strong man shouted at one of the middle-aged men: "Li Xianjun! Are you okay!"

Several thieves in black armor and ghost faces landed on the deck, and the man who attacked the strong man walked forward in a loose manner.He appears to be the leader of the band of thieves.

I saw the man flicking the blood off the knife casually, looking down at the panic-stricken members of the Xianmen on the deck, and snorted coldly: "Xianjun? Heh, it's vulnerable."

The man called Li Xianjun had a livid face, stood up with the support of his disciples, but was surrounded by bandits and handed over his weapons.

One of the robbers leaned over to the man, and said with a flattering smile: "Boss, I'm lucky today. There are many people on this boat, and there are more than a dozen people from the Xianmen. Brothers are lucky."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and saw several demons walking over with dozens of people pressing down on them.

Some of these people are crew members, and some are fellows who transport goods with the strong men.But at the end of the day, these people are all working for the same boss, and they are considered "family."

When those people saw the disciple of Xianmen being captured and heard what the thief said, their faces turned pale with fright.A guy who was boarding a ship for the first time fell to the ground with weak legs and couldn't even get up.

The thief swallowed, rubbed his hands together and said, "Boss, look at these people, let's..."

The man stretched out his hand and pushed away the thief who was close to him, and then swung the blood-stained long knife in his hand, pointing the tip at Chu Lan.

"Little brat, you've been staring at me since just now. Why, are you dissatisfied with me?"

Chu Lan sat on the deck and looked up at the man in front of him. He pursed his lips and said nothing, but his bright black eyes were full of hatred.

This is the man who slaughtered his village and killed his master.

This is his enemy!

Under the cold and gloomy gaze of the man, Chu Lan grabbed the dagger that had fallen by his leg. He threw away the scabbard, raised his arm, and aimed the scabbard at the man in front of him.

"Ha." The man sneered, "Look, this brat from the human world is going to fight me."

The strong man escorted aside by the thief shouted, "Young master, calm down and don't provoke him."

Chu Lan turned her head and took a look, and saw everyone, including the strong man, with expressions of extreme panic and despair on their faces.

Chu Lan was taken aback for a moment, and quickly looked away.He also felt strange, he should be afraid in such an occasion, but he wasn't.

Maybe it was the desperate situation that inspired his courage, or maybe it was the extreme hatred that forced him to pick up the knife.

In short, Chu Lan just stood there, holding a ridiculously short dagger in her immature hands, pointing the blade straight at the tall man in front of her.His arms trembled slightly, but his gaze was firm.

Seeing Chu Lan's eyes, the sneering smile on the man's face slowly dissipated, and he became angry as if he had been insulted: "Okay, brat, I'll goug out your eyes first, and then chop you up Order the stew and drink it."

As the man spoke, he raised the long knife in his hand, and the people on the side did not dare to look at the next tragedy, so they closed their eyes and turned their heads away.

The strong man shouted loudly: "Young master, run! Run—"

Chu Lan stood still, staring stubbornly at the man in front of him.

The long knife slashed down with a strong murderous aura, but it stopped in mid-air and did not fall for a long time.

Smelling a leisurely and cold fragrance in her nose, Chu Lan raised her head in astonishment, and saw Liu Xi, no, she saw that ghost appearing beside her at some unknown time.

**

Duan Li put one hand on Chu Lan's shoulder, and the other hand held the handle of the long knife. His expression looked very relaxed. He didn't look like he was blocking a deadly weapon, but rather he was holding it in the rain. An umbrella with a relaxed posture.

The man's face turned red, but he couldn't cut it off with the knife.

Holding the handle of the knife, Duan Li didn't even look at the man. He lowered his head and showed a bright smile at Chu Lan. He said, "Disciple, Master just took a nap and came late. I'm really sorry."
