In the hall on the first floor of Haowan Pavilion, Li Jingzhu rushed over in a few steps and grabbed the ghost-masked man by the collar: "Dare to play me!"

Bai Yin said: "Give us an illusion, is this the way Haowan Pavilion treats guests?"

The ghost-masked man said calmly, "Phantom? What are the three talking about?"

Li Jingzhu grabbed his ghost mask with his big hand: "Will you put on this ghost mask to pretend to be a ghost? I want to see what kind of shady thing you are!"

"Wait a minute, guest officer!" The ghost-masked man pressed his wrist, "It is said that Shen Tiandao is rich in gold and silver, full of jewels, and beautiful women like clouds. Anyone who knows it will want to go. Doesn't it mean that whoever gets the credentials, we Haowan Pavilion will let them Landing on the island?"

Bai Yin said: "Not everyone wants to go to the island. How many people in the world have heard of Shen Tiandao's name? Besides, everyone knows that the principle of trading at Haowan Pavilion is to exchange things of equivalent value. If someone wants to go to the island Island, it also depends on whether he can pay the price, if he can't pay the price, even if he enters the Haowan Pavilion, he can use this as a reason to reject his request. But the illusion is too embarrassing, right?"

The ghost-faced man laughed and said: "If the flowers bloom well, they will naturally attract bees and butterflies, but they will also attract some bedbugs. If you want to go to the island, whether you can afford the price is one thing, and whether you have the ability to go to the island is another. , the three passed the test so quickly, do you still want to continue to struggle with this issue?"

Li Jingzhu let go of him, and the ghost-masked man smoothed his neckline and continued, "Okay, then we can talk about the price."

On the fourth floor, the door was pushed open with a creak, and white gauze was hung on the beams in the house. The wind blew in through the wide open window, and the white gauze fluttered, just like a mourning hall.

The ghost-masked man stopped at the door, bowed to the person on the soft floor and said: "Master, the three guest officials have arrived."

The vermilion rug is leaning against the window, the cushion is embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water, and it is rolled in gold, with soft golden tassels hanging down from the four corners. The woman on the rug is wearing a white dress, holding a cigarette rod with bare feet, leaning on the The window seems to be watching the moon.

She turned around when she heard the sound, her face was covered with a white ghost face, her white lips were bloody, and two long blood-red ghost horns protruded from her forehead, making her look extraordinarily creepy under the dark moonlight.

She put down the cigarette rod and stood up, stepped on the floor with her bare feet and bowed to the three of them: "My family has seen three guest officials."

Hakuin asked, "I don't know what price the three of us have to pay to land on the island?"

The pavilion master smiled slightly, and the ghostly face seemed to soften: "Where is the guest officer, the three of you want to go to the island, and I will tell the three of you that the method is that there is no price..."

"Pavilion master!" The ghost-masked man called out hastily, "Don't..."

The pavilion master shouted: "Shut up! Is it your place to interrupt here?"

The ghost-masked man seemed unwilling, but he didn't dare to speak up, so he stood aside and didn't make a sound.

The pavilion master smiled and said: "Although there is no price, I have to ask the three of you a word."

Hakuin: "Pavilion Master, please tell me."

"The three of you are willing to go to the island?" As soon as the words came out, the ghost-masked man immediately relaxed.

Lei Yan said: "Since we are the ones who asked to go to the island, and asked if we are willing, you are so strange."

The pavilion master said: "You three just answer me."

Bai Yin thought of Yinshi at the gate of Haowan Pavilion, the man who rushed out suddenly, the ghost-masked man also asked this question, is he willing?

That person might also want to go to the island, what is there on Shen Tian Island that attracts these people?If it's just gold, silver and jewelry, what's the use of putting your life in it?

Lu Changhua said that the owner of the Haowan Pavilion is from Shen Tiandao, and Shen Tiandao has always used living people to sacrifice to resentful demons.

willingly?I am afraid that Haowan Pavilion used this method to make these people willing to go to the island to sacrifice to the resentful demons...

He touched his chest, the gold-plated incense ball in his arms did not fluctuate at all, if the resentful demon returned to Shen Tian Island, the living sacrifice would probably continue.

He thought to himself, judging from the meaning of the pavilion master of Haowan Pavilion, it is not easy to go to the island, and if he can go to the island as a sacrifice, it will save a lot of trouble.

He figured it out in an instant, and made up his mind that none of this had anything to do with him. He only wanted Lei Yan to be well, take back his soul and live a good life with him.

So he replied: "It is willing."

The pavilion master put his hands together and looked very happy: "It's so good. Today is the third day of the winter month. Although it is a little later than last year, we have gathered enough people. Let's set off immediately and enter the sea from Liewei County."

She said to the ghost-masked man, "Take a few guest officers to prepare."

The ghost-masked man made a gesture of invitation to take the three of them away, Bai Yin asked, "Is the pavilion master with us?"

The Pavilion Master turned around and said, "Yes, what?"

"Since we are going all the way, why doesn't the pavilion master show his true colors? Isn't it tiring to wear a mask?"

The cold moonlight came in from the window, and the pavilion master's slender waist was wrapped in layers of white dresses, and the skirt pleats swayed with the cold wind pouring in: "Why did you say that, guest officer?"

Bai Yin said: "If I'm not mistaken, the owner of the pavilion is Miss Bai who we rescued from the water bandits a few days ago?"

The pavilion master was stunned for a moment, then changed his voice and said with a soft smile: "Young Master Bai guessed right, it is Bai Qiao." She took off the ghost mask, "How did you three guess it?"

She no longer had the cowardly look on the boat, and her smile was full of confidence and ease.

The fact that Bai Qiao is the master of Haowan Pavilion was originally guessed by Bai Yin, but he confirmed it after seeing her when he entered the room.

Bai Qiao and Mr. Bai took their entourage and Shi Laosan and his son and fled out that day, avoiding his spiritual power search.Mr. Bai lacks spiritual power and cannot see the barrier, but Bai Qiao can see it, which means that this girl has abundant spiritual power.

The master of the Haowan Pavilion that Lu Changhua was talking about belonged to the lineage of Bai Wei, the god-slaying servant, so she might be able to escape his search.

Besides, it is possible to change the voice and body shape, but it is difficult to change a person's temperament.

Bai Yin said: "Since Miss Bai knows Lu Changhua, she must know the identity of his Baishan disciple. That night, the girl saw through our barrier and ran away, and escaped the spiritual search. I feel ashamed."

Bai Qiao laughed and said, "Mr. Bai is also a disciple of Baishan, but I don't know why he wants to go to the island?"

Bai Yin said: "The next step is to go to Shen Tiandao to find a lost item."

Bai Qiao said: "Little Qiao has a predestined relationship with the three of you, please remind the three of you that there is no peace on the island now, and what our saintess hates the most is the Baishan people."

Although Liecheng County is a county, its scope is larger than that of the city. At this time, it was just after Mao Shi, and it was still dark.

The silver moon fell into the white water, and it was shattered by the wind. There was no one at the pier and ferry, only the ship was gently rippling with the waves.

The three of them followed Bai Qiao and Mr. Bai onto the boat, accompanied by a few attendants and the man who broke in just now. The man was a little excited and nervous all the way, talking all the time.

"Why is the pavilion master wearing a veil?"

"The next one is Ke, from Hongzhou."

"When can we land on the island?"

The boat sailed down for dozens of miles, out of the waters of Liecheng County, and docked at a deserted wharf.

"Where is this?" Ren Ke asked, looking around, the white water was rushing, and the two banks were overgrown with weeds and deserted.

"There." Bai Yin pointed to a piece of water not far away, "Miss Bai's boat is huge."

"Where is there a boat?" Ren Ke searched for a long time, wondering if this man is a lunatic!

With his palms facing upwards and his five fingers bent inwards, Bai Qiao retracted his spiritual power, and a blessing boat as tall as a building appeared on the water, with all five sails retracted, standing quietly in the center of the white water.

The little general said: "It's the lucky boat of the Shenyu Navy. How did you get it?"

Bai Qiao drove the boat closer to the blessing boat: "Son, you have good eyesight. The Shenyu navy only guards against the invasion of foreign countries, and there is a mysterious and bewitching monster in the middle. Which foreign country can cross over and invade? There has been no war for many years, and it is a waste of money." It’s also raising, why don’t you lend me one for use.”

The little general was noncommittal, the situation on the sea was unpredictable, without a battleship like the Fuchuan, it might be sunk by the wind and waves before reaching Shentian Island.

Several people boarded the ship. There were originally three floors above the Fuchuan deck, but only one floor was removed for speed.There are usually three floors under the deck of this kind of battleship. The bottom layer is for ballast stones and fresh water tanks, and the upper two layers are for people.

Seeing several attendants carrying several boxes of luggage up in an orderly manner, Lei Yan suddenly asked: "Are we the only ones?" The lucky boat is huge, with a wide top and bottom, and a deep draft. It is easy to run aground and is not suitable for driving in inland rivers. , in order to drive, many sailors are required to work together.

Bai Qiao smiled under the veil and said, "Master, you underestimate those of us who live by the sea. Even I can easily manipulate it." She took out a delicate copper bell from her bosom, and used her spiritual power to Sending it to the mainsail, the enchantment spread out from the top of the mainsail, hiding the entire ship.

"It's Xueyuan." Hakuin said.

Bai Qiao nodded, thinking of being rescued by three people a few days ago and then being put outside the county seat considerately, she said in a slow tone: "Yes, Xueyuan is a sacred object of our clan. Mr. Bai, you are kind-hearted, you are not evil people, and you are not evil." I didn't go to Shentian Island for greed, so I still want to remind you that the people on the island are not as easy-talking as I am, if they know that you are a disciple of Baishan, they will probably eat you alive."

She covered her mouth and laughed when she talked about eating raw, but all three knew she was not joking.

Li Jingzhu asked in a low voice: "What should Master do?"

Bai Yin said: "I have sent a sound transmission to my uncle, he will quietly follow behind, looking for opportunities to board the boat."

The ghost-masked man has already taken off his mask to reveal his real face, and it really is Mr. Bai.He came up from the cabin and said, "You three, please come with me."

The three of them followed him to the cabin, and there were several rooms on the first floor below the deck.Mr. Bai said: "Three gentlemen, please do your own thing." He pointed to the three innermost rooms and said, "There are no people in these rooms."

Bai Yin asked: "Just now I didn't see Shi Laosan and Ren Ke, where are they?"

Mr. Bai said: "Sir, why bother with others, just take care of yourself. Let's set off immediately, and we can enter the sea tomorrow evening." After speaking, he turned and left.

This ship is a warship, and the rooms are for the soldiers of the water army to rest, and each room can sleep more than a dozen people.

Suddenly the boat shook and began to move forward slowly.

There were only three people left in the room, the little general said: "If the resentful demon returns to Shentian Island, the live sacrifice may continue again, Bai Yin, let's find a way to get rid of the resentful demon."

Bai Yin nodded with a smile, his Ah Yan always put other people's lives in his heart: "First use the resentment to exchange the soul of the sky, and I will find a way for the rest." He glanced at the porthole, "Bai Qiao exchanged Xueyuan Cover the boat, the uncle may not be able to get up, I have to go to the mainsail to take it off."
