Chapter 66: The Night Boat That Can Hear the Truth (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
At this time, three hundred miles to the south,
Shocked mountain,
Nujiang River,
A big man with a curly beard stood by the river with his hands behind his back.
Looking at the rolling river flowing eastward, I feel worried.
If Chen Yuan were here, he would definitely recognize that this person is Qin Hu, the patrol captain of Baidi City.
Qin Hu felt that he was also unlucky.
He had just gone on a business trip to Qingshan County and was halfway back when he received a secret order from the provincial capital.
It's another dusty journey to Jingshan.
Just to investigate the "Night Boat" case.
A few days ago, a rumor spread around here that there was a ship sailing at night, and it was said that if you got on it, you could hear the sound.
It attracted many people from all walks of life to flock to the place.
As a result, the ship really appeared the night before.
The swarm of people also attracted a demon.
The demon went on a killing spree and the ship disappeared.
Qin Hu investigated all the way, first investigating the origin of the rumor, but found that the rumor was groundless.
I don't know which person released it.
And that ship...
Thinking of this, Qin Hu's eyes became a little solemn.
The reason why the city government issued the secret order was to focus on investigating this ship.
Is it related to the one recorded in the treasury?
Qin Hu had only heard of this ship once in all his years of service in the provincial capital.
It was a long time ago too.
It is rumored that hundreds of years ago, there was a man with great supernatural powers who worked as a night boatman when he was young. When he steered the boat at night, he would often talk about the affairs of the country or strange stories in the martial arts world with the passengers on the boat. They would talk about everything from all walks of life to gods and ghosts, from the various schools of thought to the knowledge of the world.
Among them, there are often hidden dragons and crouching tigers who come up with shocking remarks.
It sparked debates and the arguments were thought-provoking.
Listening to the lively discussions of people coming and going, over time, the boatman got the chance and embarked on the path of spiritual practice. From then on, he made rapid progress and attained enlightenment.
After attaining enlightenment, this person with great supernatural powers became even more obsessed with it. He traveled all over the country by boat, inviting outstanding people from all over the world to debate scriptures with him, and made a great name for himself.
However, this man with great supernatural powers could not withstand the ruthless passage of time and was never heard from again. The boat he left behind seemed to be carrying out his will, traveling along the rivers and lakes of the world, picking up those who were ready to seek the truth and discussing scriptures on board.
There are also rumors that it was this night-sailing ship that had listened to countless great men debate on scriptures over hundreds of years and had achieved enlightenment.
Qin Hu always felt that these recorded rumors were a bit mysterious.
After all, he hasn't reached that level yet.
But he knew that the secret order from the city had asked him to return and investigate.
It seems that it is taken very seriously.
But at this moment, he had no idea what to do and could only sigh at the river.
But at this moment,
There was a sound of horses galloping up the mountain.
Qin Hu turned his head and looked.
His eyes narrowed slightly.
There was a flash of displeasure in his eyes.
The guy who came was the one he disliked the most in the city.
He has a background and is capable, but he is unscrupulous.
A two-faced guy.
He suffered several losses at the hands of the other party.
Soon, the sound of horse hooves came closer and closer.
"call"
A long sigh.
A tall black horse stopped in front of Qin Hu.
The horse was completely black, with shiny fur.
There is just a wisp of white hair below the neck.
White air spewed out of the horse's thick nose, emitting tiny sparks.
Obviously an alien species!
At this time, sitting on this exotic horse was a man in his thirties wearing a purple brocade robe.
The other party is condescending.
He smiled with his face but not his eyes, and clasped his fists.
"Captain Qin, thank you for your hard work. Did you find any clues?"
Qin Hu felt uncomfortable when he saw the guy's expression and was sullen.
"Why did the city send you here? Don't you trust my ability to handle cases?"
"how come?"
"The city government knows that Captain Qin has been traveling all the way and has worked very hard, so let me express my condolences. By the way, I heard that Captain Qin went to the neighboring Qingshan County on official business a few days ago, and I heard that a colleague suddenly appeared there. How is he? Is it true?" The other party smiled.
"Mr. Liu, you know my movements very well. Besides, do I have to report my official duties to you?" Qin Hu snorted coldly.
"How dare I? The current situation in the city is not optimistic. I just hope to have more strength and more fuel."
"You don't need to talk to me in an official tone. The person in Qingshan County has been verified to be true, and he is very powerful. It shouldn't be a problem for him to protect the entire county."
When Qin Hu said this, he thought of Chen Yuan and felt that the new colleague from Qingshan County was a bit mysterious.
When Liu Ming heard Qin Hu say this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He had worked with this rough man for many years, but he rarely heard him praise someone.
Very strong?
interesting.
Just as he was about to ask a few more questions, he was interrupted impatiently by Qin Hu.
"Don't come here with nonsense. If you have something to say, just say it. The city suddenly sent you here. What is the order?"
There was a gleam of sinisterness in Liu Ming's eyes, but there was a smile on his face.
Then something flew out from his sleeve.
Hold it in your hand!
It was actually a bronze lamp!
Liu Ming held the bronze lamp, his expression gradually becoming serious.
"This was specially transferred from the depths of the armory in the prefecture city and asked me to bring it."
"I heard that this lamp was from the night sailing ship."
"It was originally an ordinary lamp, but due to years of listening to famous scholars debating scriptures, it has become a bit magical."
"It is difficult to be hurt by a sword, and holding it can make one's mind clear."
"I've tried it, and it's true."
"And this thing, I heard from the people in the armory, can be used by those who have reached the perfection of the body and activate the true meaning of the supernatural power to light a lamp. From this, they can sense the location of the ship at a certain distance and board the ship."
Speaking of this, Liu Ming couldn't help but reveal a hint of heat in his eyes.
"The city government asked me to take this lantern and go aboard to explore. Perhaps I can find a chance!"
"Qin Hu, let me ask you about the results of your investigation. Where did the ship appear on the river at that time?"
When he finished speaking, his tone became serious and his eyes became threatening.
Qin Hu was shocked when he heard that this guy actually got such a good thing.
I felt very unhappy.
Do the dirty work yourself, and let this guy get the good things.
"If you want to know, ask yourself. I won't serve you!"
"you dare!"
There was a loud bang.
Liu Ming's face turned grim.
The terrifying aura of body perfection burst out.
"This is an order from the city. My success or failure is related to the future safety of the city. Do you dare to disobey the order?"
Qin Hu stared at the other person, his eyes turned red and his breathing became heavy.
half an hour.
He let out a sigh of relief, his eyes showing a bit of disappointment.
Pointed forward.
"Right here!"
Liu Ming was satisfied when he saw that the rough man had surrendered.
Put away your momentum.
He stepped on the horse's back, leaped dozens of meters into the air, and landed directly on the river.
Then he looked at the sky which was about to darken.
Take a deep breath.
He raised the bronze lamp in his hand and his body began to buzz.
A circle of light appeared in his hand, igniting the lamp.
But as time passed, the lamp didn't change much, it just kept vibrating.
Just as Liu Ming's face turned paler.
Finally, a star-like flame jumped out from the wick.
It seems like it will go out at any time.
"Burning"
Liu Ming became happy.
Then, his face immediately tightened.
Continue to stimulate the decreasing amount of true energy in the body.
Try to keep the flame going.
Then he closed his eyes and carefully sensed through the lamp.
About half an hour passed.
The sky was gradually getting dark.
Liu Ming suddenly opened his eyes, his face showing uncontrollable ecstasy.
"I sensed it, it turns out to be true!"
Moreover, he gradually sensed clearly that the ship was coming towards him.
But, not long after,
His face changed.
The ship that was originally heading towards him suddenly accelerated and turned around and ran away!
