The boats moored in the reservoir are all the most ordinary small wooden boats.
There is no way, this is the way it is in this era.
Large ships made of steel are basically very rare in this inland area.
Whether in reservoirs or in ordinary rivers, most of the boats used for fishing are still wooden boats that rely on human oars.
Fortunately, among the few open-top wooden boats with panoramic skylights, there was also a slightly larger awning boat.
Let Chen Hai make his own choice. Of course he abandoned the open boat and chose this awning boat as a temporary means of transportation for him to visit the reservoir.
"Master Immortal, I found three harpoons and put them into the cabin."
"Now, shall we sail the boat and search for the monster in the reservoir?"
Although Daochang Wang is very old, his hands and feet are still quite agile.
He was extremely attentive, and when Chen Hai boarded the awning boat, he just glanced around. He had already put away the harpoon, and both hands were already holding the oars.
Judging from his posture, it seemed that as long as Chen Hai nodded, he would immediately swing his oars and set off to the middle of the reservoir.
"Don't worry, wait a moment!" After thinking for a moment, Chen Hai took out a talisman and handed it to him.
"Immortal Master, I have a lot of Taoist talismans in my possession!"
"It's better to keep this kind of talisman for yourself and use it!" Wang Taoist priest was stunned for a moment, then he quickly spoke and politely declined.
Now, he is racking his brains to please Chen Hai, hoping to see if he can find an opportunity to be trapped by Chen Hai.
If Chen Hai gave him something and he happily put it away immediately, he felt that this seemed inappropriate and would make Chen Hai have a bad impression of him.
In order to prove that he was not covetous of Chen Hai's Taoist talismans, he reached into his arms and actually took out a thick stack of at least dozens of Taoist talismans.
"Can the rags you drew yourself compare to my Taoist talismans?"
"Just like the filthy charm I gave you, a Feng Shui master from Xiangjiang spent nearly a million dollars to buy one from me."
"Here you go, just take it and stop talking nonsense to me!"
"If you weren't worried, you would have been confused by that thing, dropped the oar, and plunged into the water again?"
"I can't bear to give you such a precious Taoist talisman!"
With a dissatisfied look on his face, Chen Hai glared at Taoist Wang fiercely, and Chen Hai responded angrily.
Even if he has now entered the realm of controlling objects, he still has a low chance of successfully drawing this kind of obscene talisman.
Under normal circumstances, it would take him two or three days to successfully draw a filthy talisman.
In view of this situation, he kept a small number of filthy charms as backup, never more than ten.
On the contrary, Chen Hai always had a thick stack of corpse transformation talismans on his body.
In terms of quantity, it is definitely only a lot more than the stack of Taoist talismans that Taoist Master Wang just took out.
"Just such a thing, can sell for nearly a million?" Hearing what Chen Hai said, Wang Daozhang couldn't hold back and took a breath of air.
On weekdays, he helps others catch ghosts and exorcise demons. If he is lucky, he can make hundreds or thousands of dollars from a ritual.
If he is really unlucky and someone sees something wrong, and if his secret is revealed, he won't make any money, so forget it. If he is not good enough, he will be severely beaten by others.
Just a few months ago, he was beaten so hard that he lay in the Po Tao Temple for several days.
When he thought of these, Taoist Wang's heart was filled with tears.
After hearing that this talisman painted by Chen Hai could be sold for nearly a million, an inexplicable look appeared on his face.
His heart towards the Tao also became much firmer again because of this.
With the mentality of a pilgrim, he took the filthy talisman from Chen Hai's hand with a pious and respectful face.
When he was about to carefully store the Dirty Talisman close to his body, Chen Hai, who was opposite him, touched his hand and once again took out a thick stack of Taoist Talismans from his body.
"How many million dollars is this? With so many Taoist talismans, they are worth at least tens of millions, right?"
"With Master Chen's ability, I don't do anything every day but draw two talismans. What do I want?"
Licking his lips, Daochang Wang's breathing became much faster and faster, and he murmured secretly in his heart.
The Corpse Transformation Talisman and the Dirty Talisman are completely different, and their value is completely different.
However, Wang Daozhang, a fake Taoist priest, drew the talismans by himself, just randomly drawing them together. Naturally, he couldn't tell the difference between the two!
"Okay, Master Wang, let's sail the boat!"
"Go in the direction of my finger. I'll tell you when you want to change direction!"
After giving a casual instruction to Taoist Wang, Chen Hai took the harpoon lying next to him, and then wrapped the zombie talisman, one by one, around the tip of the harpoon.
Even bullets fired from modern firearms generally lose their lethality after entering one or two meters of water.
On the contrary, the harpoon, the most primitive weapon, can still maintain miraculous effects when dealing with prey in the water.
As for whether he could find the hiding place of the monster, Chen Hai was not worried.
In the white mist, when he and the monster were testing each other, he had already found an opportunity to leave his unique mark on the monster.
Although it is said that after the monster dives into the water, Chen Hai's perception of the mark left by him will become blurry.
However, with this mark, it was enough to let Chen Hai know the approximate location where the monster was hiding.
What Taoist Wang said, that he had been a boatman for several years, seems to be true.
His ability at steering and rowing is not something to brag about, he is really very skilled.
When it comes to rowing, although Chen Hai has some experience and won't row the boat in random circles, his level in this area is really far behind Wang Daochang.
"Go a little further south!"
"Go northwest and paddle a little further!"
…
The overall shape of this Blackstone Reservoir is very irregular.
Some places are narrow and some are wide, like a ribbon wrapped around the mountains. It winds and twists for at least six or seven miles.
With Chen Hai's guidance, Wang Daozhang drove the awning boat in circles for nearly half an hour before finally stopping at the edge of a mountain stream.
"Master Immortal, is that monster hiding in this water area?" Wang Daozhang looked nervous. After scanning the nearby water area, he said.
Although it was said that rowing a small boat and carrying Chen Hai into the reservoir was a task he took on on his own initiative.
But this does not mean that when he actually faces the monster in the water, he can face it calmly and calmly.
When the monster appeared before, he was completely confused and had no idea what the monster looked like!
Chen Hai's ability was something he saw with his own eyes.
His purpose in taking this job was to show courtesy to Chen Hai, to win his favor, and to see if he could have a chance to learn some skills from him!
As for other things, Taoist Wang didn't think much about it.
In his opinion, since Chen Hai dared to drive a boat into the reservoir, he should be sure of dealing with the monster!
"That should be the case! Wang Daozhang, please make some noise and see if you can draw that thing out?"
After nodding, Chen Hai opened his mouth and gave instructions to Taoist Master Wang.
The reason why Wang Daochang was asked to take action was not to do it himself.
He mainly considered that the monster might have some concerns about him, so he deliberately made some noise, but if he didn't do it well, he would not be able to successfully lure the monster out.
"Okay!" Taoist priest Wang nodded.
After thinking for a moment, he picked up the paddle in his hand and began to beat the water.
As for Chen Hai, he was holding a harpoon, ducking into the tent of the awning boat.
"Crashing... crashing..."
The oar in his hand was beating against the water, and Daoist Wang's sneaky eyes were always on guard, alert to the surroundings.
"Master Immortal, are monsters really hiding in this water area?"
"I patted the water for a long time, but it just didn't want to come out..."
Suspicious in his heart, Taoist Wang asked.
However, he was only halfway through his words when a ball of white light shot out from his chest, completely covering his entire body.
This white light is naturally the true manifestation of the Dirty Talisman being activated.
Strictly speaking, that thing in the water must be classified as dirty.
It wanted to confuse Taoist Wang, so the Dirty Talisman was naturally activated immediately, protecting Taoist Wang within it.
"The monster is out? Where is he? Why didn't I see it..." Just when he was protected by the white light of the Dirty Talisman, Taoist Wang was still confused.
But in just a moment, he had already reacted.
With a nervous look on his face, while muttering to himself, he looked left and right, but he always saw any abnormality in the water around him.
"That thing is under the boat!"
"Daozhang Wang, it depends on your ability. Hurry up and turn the boat around!"
With a quick step, Chen Hai, holding the harpoon, had already emerged from the tent.
After determining the hiding place of the thing through the mark he left on the monster, he shouted softly at Taoist Wang.
"Okay, Master Immortal, it's time to show off my true skills!"
With Chen Hai beside him, Taoist Wang felt a lot more at ease.
In order to show off his rowing skills, his whole body was as if he had been injected with blood.
Holding the oar tightly in his hand, he moved it up and down a few times, and then paddled it left and right.
"No, Immortal Master, at this critical moment, my feet don't obey me and I suddenly cramped!"
The awning boat turned around, only halfway down, and Wang Daochang staggered.
If Chen Hai hadn't caught him with quick eyes and quick hands, he would not just sit on the board of the boat, but would fall directly into the water.
With his face full of frustration, Taoist Wang explained to Chen Hai with a sad face.
Falling out of control at a critical moment is the most shameful behavior.
Taoist Wang didn't want to do this either. Perhaps it was because he was too nervous that his feet suddenly began to cramp.
But at this time, Chen Hai had no time to pay attention to him.
The harpoon he had been holding in his hand had already been taken out, and he stabbed hard at the shadow that could be seen on the side of the ship.
