The gentle sea breeze blew up white waves, washing against the port coast outside Baodu Pass and lapping at the rocks on the shore.
More than a hundred huge pointed-bottomed treasure ships made of high-quality wood and three hundred broad-based ships with long pointed bodies, wide tops and narrow bottoms, linear thin pointed bottoms, were lined up neatly and divided into five rows to dock.
On the sea outside the port.
The dragon flag of Emperor Fengdu was hung high on every sail of every warship, at the top of the mast; it was fluttering in the wind and making a sound. It formed the image of the flag filling the sky and blocking out the sun.
Countless Yin soldiers armed with various types of weapons, wearing thin scale armor, and wearing iron armor with three ghost chariot feathers on their heads, chatted in twos and threes, and slowly crowded into the harbor beside the port.
Warship.
The three long feathers on the head are swaying in the wind, which is quite joyful.
Yeyoushen stood on the beach, looking at this group of new troops whose nonsense was more important than culture, and sighed helplessly and shook his head.
This new army was formed five years ago, and he has been responsible for secret training in the area near Baoduguan. Now, although all the Yin soldiers are good at swords, guns, swords, halberds, archery, and have learned the art of water warfare, after all,
These ghosts are all human souls and demon souls who joined the army to escape reincarnation. The purpose of joining the army is not pure, and they are not good ghosts. They are all a group of ghosts without faith.
He has never been in actual combat yet. When soldiers like this go to the battlefield, they still have to face the Jiuyou National Army. Ye Youshen is really unsure.
He had seen the combat effectiveness of the Jiuyou National Army back then, with strict military discipline and rich combat experience. Even the Fengdu Army he brought could be pinned to the ground in three strikes, five divided by two, which showed that the combat effectiveness of the Jiuyou National Army was absolutely unstoppable.
underestimate.
Look at the thick-looking, hunky-backed, and ruthless soldiers under his command. Underneath their cheerful appearance, they all look like they are useless in their bones. Before the war, they could shout impassionedly to fight and kill, but when they actually entered the battlefield, they might not know what they were doing.
How timid there will be!
The more Ye Youshen thought about it, the more he was unsure, and he couldn't help but lament. The most helpless thing was that he was named the Grand Marshal against Xiao, and had to lead these bad soldiers to go on an expedition. This made him even more helpless when he thought about it.
"General." Suddenly a ghost figure flashed behind him, and then a human soul dressed in black and wearing a bamboo hat appeared out of thin air behind him, knelt down towards him, lowered his head and said: "According to reliable information,
Xiao Shizhu is currently on an expedition in the south, and most of the country's military forces are in the southern barbarians, so there is no way he can return to Shuoyue Island."
"Are you sure?" Ye Youshen was not surprised by his sudden visit, nor did he turn around. He just narrowed his eyes that were still staring at the warship ahead, and there was a trace of abnormal excitement in his eyes, which diluted the helplessness in his eyes before.
"Yes, it's absolutely true." The man's soul nodded and said in a positive tone: "He personally led an army to occupy Guiwei Beach and was planning to start a protracted war with Du Ziren."
"That's good." Ye Youshen nodded and secretly breathed a sigh of relief; as long as Xiao Shizhu couldn't come back in time, there was still a chance of winning. So he raised his eyes to the southern sky and said: "Order the entire army to set sail in the evening.
Set sail; target—Shuoyue Island!"
The broken limbs and pieces of the Rock Fire Bear were lying in a mess among the scattered rubble in the Colosseum that was full of animal blood.
The three demons in the Colosseum were all dumbfounded. Xiao Shizhu's attacks were fast and accurate, and they were also extremely powerful. A rock fire bear that weighed hundreds of kilograms was not as powerful as him.
, which made the Sanmiao ghosts who admired strength click their tongues in silence, but all of them felt admiration for Xiao Shizhu in their hearts, like the endless stream of a surging river.
In less than half a cup of tea, only one of the twelve Rock Fire Bears was left. Xiao Shizhu was frightened when he saw his companion die tragically, so he decided not to kill it even though he was playing with it, so he used
The ghostly magic power chased it and played with it. When I caught up with it, I didn't hit him. I just pulled out a handful of long hair on the bear's body. After a few dozen breaths, I grabbed the rock fire bear with bright hair until it was completely naked.
Yes, only a ring of long hair remains on his forehead.
In the end, the rock fire bear, which instantly became extremely ugly, retreated to the corner with fear in its eyes under the pressure of Xiao Shizhu.
"Run, you are running." Xiao Shizhu looked at the rock fire bear that was retreating with a half-smile, then slowly stretched out his right hand, bent his middle finger and clasped it with his thumb, and stopped a minute in front of the bear's forehead.
at.
"Come, let's see if you are also bloated?" Xiao Shizhu looked at the panting Yanhuo Xiong with infinite panic in his eyes with interest, and flicked his finger with a wicked smile without hesitation.
The mysterious force moved at will, traveling along the meridians, and quickly concentrated on the middle finger of his right hand that straightened with a flick of his fingertip, and hit the bear's head and forehead hard.
There was a muffled sound of "bang", and the dust was stirred up. The rock fire bear stood upright, rolled his eyes and stuck out his tongue and hit the wall at the edge of the Colosseum, sinking deeply into it.
Xiao Shizhu shook his head and muttered softly: "You're also bloated."
"Also! There is! Who!" In the silence above, Xiao Shizhu turned around and looked around at the ghosts above his head, pointed at the ground with his finger, and asked fiercely word by word!
"If you are not convinced, you can come down and try to see if I am the real King of Nine Netherworlds." Faced with the speechless expressions of the three seedling ghosts, Xiao Shizhu raised the corner of his mouth and smiled slightly, turned to look at the hammer, and asked again:
"Would you like to come down and give it a try?".
"King Jiuyou is very skilled, I admire you." That hammer didn't dare to reply, he just bowed his hands and bowed deeply, then waved his hand.
The ground of the Colosseum slowly rose as he waved his hand, and turned into a square again; it was just a square covered with gravel and the blood of flesh-crushing beasts.
After Xiao Shizhu came up, Xiao Fuling was the first to rush out, jumped into his father's arms, hugged his neck and said proudly: "Dad, you are so awesome; in your words, my old lady didn't even help me, she just...
Serve you."
Xiao Shizhu picked her up and put her on his shoulder with his backhand. He looked around at the Sanmiao ghosts who were still silent, but when he saw that they were still excited about watching a show, they all turned to admiration, and smiled lightly.
The hammer also jumped down from the top of the building. After Xiao Shizhu stood still, he lowered his head with admiration and said: "I was blind before, and I hope King Jiuyou will forgive me if I offended you!".
After speaking, he faced Xiao Shizhu and knelt down on one knee without hesitation!
"Nine Nether King" all the three seedlings shouted in unison, and along with the hammer, they knelt down on one knee in front of Xiao Shizhu.
The feeling of being admired by others made Xiao Shizhu feel elated, and he laughed loudly and said: "Get up, this is not a new year or a festival, I am giving you such a big gift, I don't have a red envelope to give you."
After night falls, the lights in Tengxian Miao Village are brightly lit, and eighteen bonfires are lit in the square, illuminating the whole square like daylight.
What was placed on the fire was the rock fire bear that Xiao Shizhu killed in the afternoon. It happened to be barbecued at this time to entertain Xiao Shizhu and the others.
Xiao Shizhu and Langtou were sitting side by side in front of the ancient building, drinking Sanmiao's home-brewed liquor. Xiao Fuling, Xiao Si, and Xiao Shizhu's subordinates have now become guests of honor in this Miao village.
They all sat around and encouraged each other, admiring the graceful gifts of the Sanmiao girls dancing by the bonfire, listening to the melodious sound of the reeds played by the old men, drinking wine from large bowls and eating meat.
Xiao Shizhu drank a lot when he was in the world. He was a half-alcoholic. In addition, he had mysterious power in his body, which could help him eliminate the smell of alcohol in his body. In his opinion, just a strong drink
Nothing at all?
No, not long after the meal started, he drank twenty-two large bowls of strong liquor, with the Sanmiao girl sitting next to him singing the "Drinking Song", each bowl containing not a drop of it.
He drank heavily, but his face was not red, he was not out of breath, his eyes were not dazzled, and his head was not dizzy.
After the wine bowl was filled, Xiao Shizhu couldn't wait to hold his head high and take a big sip. He smashed it and shouted: "Good wine!". Then he reached out and tore the roasted bear meat on the table and stuffed it into his mouth.
go.
"Wow…".
A cheer came from the mouths of the group of Sanmiao warriors and the high priest who were sitting around, echoing over the square for a long time. Yunmengzhou's Sanmiao liquor is not only mellow and rich, but also alcoholic.
It has always been fierce, and with a big mouthful, it can immediately stir up the heart and lungs of both human and demon souls.
Therefore, ghosts from other places will get drunk after three glasses of wine, and the most drinkable Sanmiao ghost will be dizzy after just eighteen bowls. At this time, Xiao Shizhu had drunk twenty-three bowls, and he could speak and enunciate clearly without even having a big tongue.
, how can you teach the three seedlings and ghosts around you not to admire it?
Xiao Shizhu's status in their hearts instantly increased a bit.
"King Jiuyou, you are one of the human souls that Wuha admires most in my cave." As they exchanged wine, Bangtou was already slightly drunk. Regardless of etiquette, he put his arm around Xiao Shizhu's shoulder without hesitation and gave her a long kiss.
After belching from wine, he shouted loudly: "I want to make a gou with you ("a gou" means brother in Miao dialect).
"Hold the dog?" Xiao Shizhu had just hooked up with him. After hearing this, he was slightly stunned and said suspiciously: "We don't hold the dog, we only drink."
"Yi Gou, brother." Langtou Dong Wuha's finger pointed back and forth at himself and Xiao Shizhu, and said: "How about your brother and my brother?".
Xiao Shizhu pondered after hearing the words, thinking that since he was here to mobilize troops to save the country, it is better to have many friends than many enemies; besides, Dongwuha himself had already proposed it, Xiao Shizhu was his brother, so how could Xiao Shizhu not make such a good request?
The reason for agreeing?
Then he nodded his head, like a chicken pecking at rice, and said: "This is good, this is good, as long as you and I are not asked to hold the dog, but just hold the hook."
"So, you agreed?" Dong Wuha was overjoyed.
"Of course I agreed." Xiao Shizhu raised the wine bowl, clinked it with him, and took another sip of wine.
"Okay, bring the wine jar." Dongwuha stood up and shouted to the Sanmiao warriors: "Open the oldest jar to make wine."
After a while, the warriors brought up a wine jar that was as tall as one person. As soon as the seal was lifted, the whole square suddenly overflowed with the aroma of wine, and even the night breeze carried an intoxicating aroma.
Orchid fragrance pure.
Xiao Shizhu and Langtoudong Wuha carried the wine bowls, walked to the wine jar and smelled the aroma of the wine, then reached out to sink the wine bowls into the wine in the jar, and each filled a bowl full of wine.
Dong Wuha put his left thumb into his mouth without hesitation, and after a sudden bite, the skin of his thumb was torn open and blood seeped out, falling into the bowl of wine.
After dropping three drops of blood into his own bowl, he extended his thumb to Xiao Shizhu's bowl and also dropped three drops of blood into the bowl.
Xiao Shizhu laughed, and inadvertently showed a bit of bitterness on his face. After a look of reluctance flashed across his face, he bit his own fingers. After doing the same thing one by one, he secretly cursed in his heart: "I'm sorry for Mao."
Does it have to be bleeding?"
"After drinking this bowl of wine, we'll be cheating." Dongwuha said boldly, slowly raising the glass and saying, "Then the eldest brother is going to do the younger brother a favor!".
Xiao Shizhu was suddenly startled. It turned out that the hammer in front of him also had selfish motives, but now that the matter was over, we might as well listen to what he had to say, so he asked, "What is it about?"
"Since you said it before, brother, the purpose of your trip is to visit our leader, can you do me a favor and see if the leader has returned to normal recently?" Dongwuha touched him heavily.
Bowl, loudly said: "This is my little brother's request, and my eldest brother must not postpone it!".
There was absolutely no chance for Xiao Shizhu to say no.
