Chapter 81 Man-made money and dead birds die for food
At some point, the seventh-grade magistrate, who had been on the ship from the beginning, was standing on the deck talking to the sword-controlling magistrate.
Neither of them looked young, but they did not waver at all under such a big storm.
This is the benefit brought by mana cultivation. It is a small trick to move around the body and resist wind and rain.
Otherwise, why can one become a family's worshiper once he enters the Taoism? This is because from the moment he sets foot on the Taoism, the monks have shown various extraordinary performances.
When you reach the second level of transformation, you begin to completely separate from ordinary mortals. Extending your life, flying to the sky, and escaping from the earth are all common methods.
The Taoist official stretched out two fingers, wiped off the dragon's blood on the dark sword, and advised: "Peng Yushi, you are not a serious Taoist student after all. You should go back to your room. I will be in charge here. It's only ten
Mi Xiaojiao didn’t kill him directly, but he was already giving face to the Dragon King of Ningjiang.”
"These miscellaneous dragons are not very intelligent and have impure blood, so the Dragon King may not care." The censor named Peng did not try to show off his abilities. His magic power could protect him well, but if he really wanted to fight, he might not be able to survive two moves.
Zhou Bai's heart was moved when he heard this. A seventh-grade censor in his fifties? It seems that he is a local patrol censor who was devolved to the prefectures and counties. He should be a person who is not reused.
"Brother Zhou, what are you thinking about? Standing like a pine and cypress, not afraid of wind and rain, no wonder he can take the title of Wei with an arrow." At this time, some envious and jealous voices came from behind.
Zhou Bai looked back and saw that it was Ma Liang who was leaning on a wooden chair, insisting on holding on to look at the situation outside.
Speaking of which, Ma Liang is obviously more muscular in appearance. Regardless of his status as a scholar, he can still be said to be tall and strong.
But when it comes to body control, Ma Liang can't keep up with Zhou Bai. The powerful soul power allows Zhou Bai to adjust his coordination and body center of gravity in extremely subtle ways.
So in the eyes of outsiders at this time, he is just a pine and cypress, and he looks very tough despite the wind and rain.
"You are quite brave, aren't you afraid of being blown away?" Zhou Bai said with a hint of teasing.
He didn't dislike Ma Liang's character, he was straightforward and generous, and he should be a heroic figure in the world.
Ma Liang could only hold on with all his strength at this time, but he did not dare to speak harshly. Instead, he pointed at the dragon boats in all directions and laughed: "Haha, it seems that the court has been prepared for a long time. I wonder why every boat has a Taoist official.
Just to deal with these evil dragons!"
Zhou Bai also looked at the Taoist light blooming on the dragon boats and smiled. The first Taoist officer's action seemed to be a signal, and then the dragon boats sailing in Luanjiao Gorge also had sharp magic weapons appearing one after another.
The talisman, Taoist law, and the thunderbolt bring down the dragon.
However, the dragons' attacks did not stop, and the smell of blood stimulated the dragons to become even more violent.
They roared and rushed towards the dragon boat, as if seeking revenge, and the low crowing of cattle echoed in the giant gorge.
Zhou Bai clearly felt that the water vapor was getting thicker and thicker. The dark clouds above his head almost formed a thick cloud of ink. The strong wind accompanying the heavy rain obviously brought a bit of stinging pain from shaving his face.
A true dragon can make clouds and rain, blessing the world. A dragon that inherits part of its bloodline naturally has some ability to control wind and rain.
Looking at those dragons with their heads raised and groaning, and the changing colors of the wind and clouds, you can tell that the rain and wind in the canyon are closely related to them.
Originally, this storm was just an extremely common celestial phenomenon, but because the Dragon King returned to heaven to report on his duties, the Dragon Palace's intimidating power weakened, and the dragons in Luanjiao Gorge wanted to take advantage of this to cause trouble.
The evil and violence in the bloodline were fully revealed at this time.
They devoured fish and shrimps unscrupulously, without considering balance at all. Even the human race, which had been peaceful in the past, wanted to encounter them.
Seeing more dragons about to attack the dragon ship, the guards on the ship could no longer sit still. They also had means to fight back.
"Shoot the dragon crossbow upward, and be sure not to let a dragon get close!"
"Hurry up, go down and take someone to fix the hole for me..."
Teams of guards had ropes tied to their bodies and were carrying out various defense tasks in an orderly manner. Seeing their calm and calm skills, Zhou Bai knew that these people were not simple.
Not to mention being a serious soldier of the imperial court, he must have something to do with the imperial power.
In fact, the dozens of dragon-shooting crossbows on this ship are all deadly weapons, and no one dares to use them without official permission.
It is said that the dragon boat is a folk boat, but if it is completely left to businessmen to operate, the court is not at ease.
Swish~
Crossbow arrows with the thickness of a child's arms shot into the white waves in the water, making a popping sound as they penetrated the dragon's body.
Flood dragons are very scary, and they are invincible monsters to ordinary people, but there are also levels among dragons.
Luanjiao Gorge itself is the place where the Ningjiang Dragon Palace houses miscellaneous dragons and small dragons. The dragon here is the lowest level, not much better than other dragons, and even the Dragon Palace does not want to accept its weak bloodline.
Because this kind of dragon with weak bloodline has more animal nature than rationality, it is easy to make big mistakes.
They can neither be allowed to enter the Tianjiang River nor face the Dragon King of Ningjiang River, and there are no positions in the Dragon Palace or Heavenly Court, so they can only be trapped in the waters of Luanjiao Gorge.
Normally, the ban on the Dragon Palace is still very deterrent, but it is not ruled out that the evil dragon will go crazy, so when passing the dragon ship, it will be equipped with a dragon crossbow, using a special hundred-forged arrowhead.
These crossbow arrows break through the scales of the jiaos with ease. As long as they are shot, they will be injured if they are not dead.
The dragon that rushed forward was seriously injured, and several small dragons several meters long were shot dead on the spot. The corpses of the dragons floated on the water, causing many big fish to fight for and bite them. Gradually, even the entire Luanjiao Gorge was dyed.
color.
The guards who control the dragon-shooting crossbows are extremely skilled, and they also know how to alternate and continue shooting, forming an almost uninterrupted arrow screen, which can weaken the violent wind and rain.
Occasionally, there are large dragons that are more than ten or twenty meters long, and the boatman will kill them accurately.
Sometimes when he saw too many dragons in one direction, he would throw out various lethal talismans as if for free.
Especially the thunder talisman is extremely powerful in water, and can often form a discharge area that no dragon dares to enter.
An hour later, many of the guards and boatmen were missing in the wind and rain, and several dragon boats were almost destroyed, so they had to stop to repair the holes.
But the damage caused by the dragon group was even greater. At least twenty or thirty dragons died, and countless others were injured.
It's a pity that the dragon corpse cannot be salvaged in this precarious state. Due to some taboos, the dragon boat also gave up this precious food and treasure.
Even if he killed the dragon in self-defense, the Dragon Palace wouldn't be justified if he wanted to blame him, but if he was dragged away in an open and honest manner, it would not give the Dragon King Ningjiang face.
After the bloody fight, the jiaojiao finally became more at ease. Although they still looked at the dragon boat with eager eyes, they also kept their distance.
Even if a large number of fishes escape to the vicinity of the dragon boat, no dragon dares to "seize food from the tiger's mouth" again.
Under a certain safe environment, the human nature of pursuing profit will gain the upper hand again. The boatmen on the dragon boat poured out of the cabin one after another. They cast the net and dropped the anchor...
Well, the captain allowed this. The crossbow arrows, hull repairs, and compensation for the injured escorts on this trip were all losses.
If you can take the opportunity to catch a fish, especially the precious Ningjiang perch, you can not only make up for your losses, but even make a small profit.
But when the boatmen excitedly hauled in the fishing nets, there was little sign of bass in them. They were clever enough to hide under the boats, making them difficult to catch.
Now the passengers on the boat couldn't sit still, especially the passengers on the lower boat. Many of them had the courage to fight for their lives. After the captain owed a "no responsibility" contract, they even jumped off the dragon boat with a rope to catch him.
Even if a sea bass is sold on a dragon boat, it can be sold for dozens of taels. If it is of good quality, hundreds of taels is not a problem.
