Chapter 80: Dao Official Kills Jiao!

In the next few days, the wind and the water were smooth, and there were very few times when the boatman at the bottom was needed to row the oars.

Zhou Bai usually stayed in the cabin to read and practice calligraphy, or he was dragged by Yu Ji and Ma Liang to drink and chat.

Of course, the euphemistic name is that this is a collision and exchange of ideas between scholars, otherwise there is no progress in reading behind closed doors.

It's just that since learning that Zhou Bai was the head of Bei'an's case, Ma Liang had to discuss poetry with him, and he didn't know where to get a Sui Han Ji, and boasted in front of him every day.

One night in the middle of the night, Zhou Bai couldn't sleep. He met Ma Liang by chance, and they met at the bow of the boat to enjoy the moon. Seeing the bright moon on the Gujiang River, he was moved and wrote a poem about traveling on the river.

"The wind and fireflies are facing the chaos of the water, and the river and the moon are lonely to the people..."

Ma Liang was rather stubborn, and he didn't realize Zhou Bai's unique skill of forming words in seven steps. If he didn't believe it, he was completely convinced this time.

Later, when Yu Ji saw that Ma Liang was no longer pestering Zhou Bai, he was a little surprised. This was not an excuse for him to lose a communication.

Nothing worth noting happened in the territory of Ruinan County, except that a Taoist official came up from the ferry in Longfeng County when he first left Ruinan County.

After a careful search with his spiritual sense, he was just an ordinary Taoist, but he didn't look weak, much stronger than Yu Yueyun's aura.

And judging from the dragon boats he stayed at the ferry, each dragon boat had a Taoist official going up, so it seemed that the next journey was unusual.

"Brother Zhou is from Bei'an. I don't know the situation in Ningjiang. In fact, you can see the other side of Ningjiang only from Longfeng County."

"Well, especially on rainy days."

After entering the boundary of Longfeng County, the river narrowed visible to the naked eye, and high mountains began to appear along the way. After more than ten miles, Ningjiang seemed to turn into a canyon.

Dingzhou is bounded by Ningjiang River, and there are four counties in the east and west. This administrative division may also be a special control when Dingzhou was opened in the early days of the Daxu Dynasty.

With Ningjiang present, it would be difficult for Dingzhou to form a whole, and even if there was turmoil in the situation, it would be difficult to affect the entire state.

Looking down from a high altitude, the main section of the Ningjiang River in Dingzhou is roughly a straight line from south to north, cutting Dingzhou in half.

However, this straight line, except for the turning point at the section where it enters the Tianjiang River, is only very tortuous in Longfeng County, because there is a section of road called Luanjiao Gorge.

Someone described it like this: "Enter Longfeng in the south, and reach the mouth of the gorge for a hundred miles.

Maybe Ma Liang's mouth is really sharp, or maybe the weather changes in midsummer are really unpredictable.

Just entering the gorge, the situation suddenly changed, and the huge sail was blown straight by the strong wind instantly.

A quarter of an hour ago, the sky was cloudless and clear, but now it is cloudy in the blink of an eye, and the sun is completely blocked. Being in this huge gorge is like being in the dark night.

This gave Zhou Bai a feeling that it was changing even faster than the celestial phenomena that the city god cast spells to rain.

When the gongs on the dragon boat sounded, a dazzling snake-shaped lightning violently tore apart the dark sky, and then, thunderous thunder rolled from the sky.

"Lower sails, lower sails, call all passengers back to their rooms..."

"Danger! Everyone go back to the room, close the doors and windows, and grab the pillars by yourself!"

Even though the captain of this dragon boat has been on this route for many years and has rich experience, he is still unprepared for unexpected changes in the sky.

It's fine outside, but now entering the Luanjiao Gorge, it's a real disaster!
After a while, the howling wind and the torrential rain crazily smashed towards the Yeye boat in the Ningjiang River.

Yes, in the face of this kind of heavenly power, even a [-]-meter dragon boat is just a small boat drifting with the tide.

Zhou Bai and Ma Liang Yuji huddled in the same room, watching the terrifying sky outside through the only glass window.

"Is this the other side of Ningjiang you mentioned?!"

Faced with the questioning, Ma Liang touched the back of his head and said, "Uh, something seems wrong today, but I have never been here."

"Before I went to the exam, I heard from people in the county that we are all the same in Dingzhou. There are only a few state exams for the scholar exams, and most people will have the chance to leave the county until the township exams." Yu Ji explained hurriedly.

Zhou Bai nodded. The situation of the country is indeed the case. Daxu's counties and prefectures are too vast, equivalent to the size of those peripheral states.

Ma Liang then added: "The villagers who have been to Longfeng County said that Jiaolong can be seen in this waterway, and the Ningjiang perch is the most in this gorge."

Before he finished speaking, his tone suddenly rose, becoming extremely horrified.

He pointed to a direction on the glazed window and said, "But I didn't expect to meet so many flood dragons, those tumbling waves couldn't be all there!"

At this time, the wind and rain became more and more violent, and the sound of crackling raindrops suppressed the screams of the whole ship.

Zhou Bai naturally also saw that in front of the dragon boat, white lines of water waves appeared quietly at some time, they were chasing the huge waves caused by the strong wind.

Ordinary people who have never been here can't see the creatures in the water waves clearly, but Zhou Bai's eyes are very clear, it is clearly the dragons chasing the fish.

Perhaps there is a precious Ningjiang perch in it, which contains dragon blood, a royal tribute fish that can be sold for a hundred taels of silver.

Zhou Bai passed by here in his previous life, but he never encountered this scene, so he has to treat it with caution now.

Under the waves, the dragons were hiding, and at the same time, there was a gray aura of calamity, which showed that these dragons obviously did not want to live in peace with the dragon boat.

"boom!"

Sure enough, a dragon boat not far ahead was hit, and the underwater dragon chasing its prey doesn't care how much you do.

The violent impact was like thunder roaring.

Yu Ji said with a pale face, "We in Ruinan County also drink Ningjiang water, and the Ningjiang Dragon Palace has a decree telling the people along the river that no dragon species will attack civilian ships and official ships innocently. These dragons are too courageous."

"Aren't they afraid of the Dragon King's punishment, and the emperor's report to the heaven? You bastard!" Seeing a dragon boat being bumped violently again, Ma Liang scolded angrily.

"Grab it!" Zhou Bai didn't have time to agree, but immediately reminded the two to grab the fixed object.

The next moment, there was a muffled sound from the bottom of the boat, and the whole dragon boat began to shake violently.

"Evil beast, dare to hit a civilian ship, not afraid of the ban of the Dragon Palace, not afraid of the majesty of the court?!"

The voice was full of vigor, even in this violent storm, it was very clear, and the officials in the next room felt relieved, it was the Taoist officer who accompanied the ship to protect the ship.

Zhou Bai wanted to see the Taoist descending Jiao, so he opened a crack in the door and rushed out. Just in time, a sword light flew past his eyes and went straight to the bottom of the water.

"Quick! Slash!"

Suddenly, there was a screaming cow mooing from the bottom of the water, and the water surface at the bottom of the boat was dyed blood red.

This is a magic weapon?Sure enough, he has penetrated into the Dao realm, and his mana is not weak.

It seems that the government of Longfeng County has been prepared for a long time. He once crossed the chaotic Jiaoxia by boat, but there was no Taoist official boarding the boat to escort him.

A reckless dragon was severely injured, as if the wind and waves around the dragon boat were much smaller.

"The Taoist master's hundred-step flying sword is already superb."

"Where, where, it is all with the help of the magic weapon issued by the higher-ups. I can only say that it is thanks to the foresight of the imperial court."

"Now it's the Dragon King's duty report period once every century in the Heavenly Court, so I knew that the miscellaneous dragons in the Chaotic Jiaoxia Gorge would make waves!"

　Thanks to the brothers who supported the subscription and voting yesterday, thank you! The 1000 first order is a bit lower than expected, but it is much better than the last one, and I will keep writing.Now I'm just worried about the sheep, and I can't order takeaway where I live, so I'm trying to save a few chapters of manuscripts, and try to keep updating them.
