Sky Surveying Demon Hunt

Chapter 819 The Boatman

The man fled all the way and looked back again and again.

Limping across the sand, he pulled a small boat from behind boulders.

He jumped onto the bow of the boat and swung his oars vigorously, and he was already more than ten feet away from the shore in an instant, and then he let out a sigh of relief with lingering fear.

Suddenly, I was startled and shivered for no reason.

Turning around suddenly, I don't know when there are more people on the stern.

Lin Ji sat on the bow of the boat, swung the long sword in his hand, and scratched off the black scarf covering the man's face.

"What's the matter? The monthly salary of 50 taels from Honghualou can't keep you anymore?" Lin Ji asked with a smile.

This man is the boatman who sees off the guests in splendor and splendor!
At that time, Lin Ji felt a little strange.

Would someone with a cultivation at the peak of the six realms be willing to become a boatman for a monthly salary of fifty silver taels?
But at that time, he didn't think much about it, he thought that this kind of kung fu was what he was practicing, and he wanted to use it to enter the Tao.

After chasing him all the way, he just felt that this figure looked familiar, and he didn't dare to confirm it until he boarded the boat and paddled.

The boatman was startled, and the muscles on his face trembled unnaturally: "As expected, it is Lin Tianguan, and it is not wrong to die at your hands!"

Lin Ji smiled and said: "If you want you to die, the sword in the water prison is enough! Why bother? Tell me, who are you?"

The boatman also smiled, and instead of answering, asked: "I also want to ask Lin Tianguan, now that the Great Qin has disappeared, and Jian Tiansi is just like yesterday, why are you doing this?"

"I don't do it for anyone. There is no case to investigate. My hands are itchy." Lin Ji still had a smile on his face, and then exerted force on his wrist, forcing the boatman to bend down.

But the sword wound on the leg was still bleeding profusely, and he couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately fell to his knees.

Although the boatman was at the peak of the Six Realms, he was powerless in front of Lin Ji, almost no different from an ordinary person.

Lin Ji turned his sword, pressed his throat against his throat and raised his chin and said, "You don't want to say it, and it's the same if I ask, did you kill Zhao Weiguo?"

The boatman said with a straight face: "Since it falls into your hands, kill as you want, I won't say anything!"

Lin Ji smiled and said: "Yesterday, probably at this time, it was also this sword, almost in this position, which was right on the neck of the Demon King of the Water Drill. She is a great demon king who has lived for thousands of years, and she is even afraid of it." Damn, you actually said that you are not afraid of death?"

"Okay, I have the right to believe it!" Lin Ji said as he swung his sword and sliced ​​open the hidden compartment hidden in the stern of the boat. With a bang, a piece of white and golden silver and gold ingots were exposed.

"Since you are determined to die, why do you secretly save so much gold and silver? You may not be afraid of death, but neither are your family members, are they all alive enough?"

The boatman's eyes flashed, and he was obviously flustered.

Lin Ji pretended not to see it, and continued: "I just saw that after you left the shore, you would rather turn the wind and go all the way north. There is only Yunzhou in the north of Xuzhou. Presumably your family is there?"

"You should have a pair of sons and daughters." Lin Ji looked at the pile of onyx hairpins and silver rattles among the gold and silver and said, "You want to make this last order, then withdraw from the dispute and enjoy the family life in peace."

"It's a good idea, but it's a pity, if you didn't meet me, you would have died a long time ago!"

As he said that, Lin Ji grabbed the dry food prepared by the boatman, shook open the water bag and got out of the boat.

In an instant, all the swimming fish chasing the boat died and floated white on the sea.

In fact, this is the snake venom left by Lin Ji just after killing Qinggangzi, and mixed it into the dry food when the boatman was not prepared.

When the boatman saw it, the expression on his face changed drastically.

As if Lin Ji was not aware of it, he continued: "And just now, you should have seen that there was a bloodstain outside the secret door, do you know whose it is? It is the killer of Honghualou, who is waiting there for you with you!"

"Even if you can escape all the way, can you really enjoy the family life with your family? They may not know who your family is now, but once you return to Yunzhou, do you think they are safe? You Can you take them through the pass?"

"Where is Yunzhou? You don't need to tell me. Even if you keep their lives secret, are you willing to let them suffer there for the rest of their lives? Slaves for generations?"

At this point, Lin Ji stared into the boatman's eyes and said: "Now there is a vast sea in all directions, no one will hear what you said to me. I will arrange for you to go to Liangcheng first, and then pick you up." Your sons and daughters are reunited. Otherwise..."

Lin Ji withdrew the Qingzhi sword and said, "I don't need to kill you, let's see how long that Li Nan old thief can spare you?"

Lin Ji had already noticed that the boatman also had a black line on the back of his neck that was exactly the same as Lu Cong's, and for some reason Qingzhijian secretly reacted to both Li Nan and the boatman.

It's just that one is extremely strong and the other is very weak.

If it is said that it was caused by the sorcery practiced by these two people, it is not right, why did they not respond to Lu Cong?
"Lin Tianguan..." The boatman hesitated for a while and said, "I have heard that you have kept your promise, I...I said, Zhao Weiguo was indeed killed by me!"

"Who told you to go?" Lin Ji asked.

"It's the teacher... no, it's the secret letter that Li Nan evil way sent me yesterday morning, asking me to take advantage of the chaos in the city and sneak into the prison to kill Zhao Weiguo."

Lin Ji thought to himself: "As expected, that old thief from Linan has laid down many secrets in order to plot against Weicheng! Now that I think about it, the Yuan and Lu families secretly married each other, and Lu Cong killed Jin Shanyu in front of me. , this may all be in his calculations!"

"If I had killed Yuan Xiu with a single sword, or killed Jin Xiaocang in Jinbihuanghuang, then the formation of wind, cloud, thunder and lightning would not have been able to take shape, and he would not even need to make a move. Only a few demon kings would have occupied Weicheng!"

"But... why did you send the boatman who hid so deeply to take advantage of the chaos and kill Zhao Weiguo?"

"Why did you kill Zhao Weiguo?"

"Well, I don't know." The boatman said, "I never ask about such things. Ever since I asked him to learn sorcery as a teacher, I have always followed orders without asking cause and effect."

This is the same as Lu Cong, who was washed away by Li Nan and turned into a puppet!
"Then since you completed the mission yesterday and killed Zhao Weiguo, why did you go today?" Lin Ji asked a little puzzled.

"Because... I found out that it wasn't Zhao Weiguo who died yesterday!"

"Huh?!" Lin Ji was stunned: "It's not Zhao Weiguo? What's going on? Be more careful."

"Yes." The boatman replied: "I killed Zhao Weiguo, firstly to complete the mission and obtain the Soul Eater Pill that Li Nan gave me. Secondly, I also had some selfish motives, and wanted to take the opportunity to snatch the head of the evil Buddha."

"Lin Tianguan, do you know why Zhao Weiguo has been practicing in the water prison for so many years?" The boatman asked suddenly.

"Why?" Lin Ji was also wondering about this.
