Xiucai is the only one among this group of pirates who has good looks, a very clean face but sloppy clothes.
He staggered onto the deck, as if he was drunk, and glared at Liu Banxian with squinted eyes.
"Are you the captain?"
"That's right!" Liu Banxian straightened his chest.
"I'm a captain too!"
The scholar touched his chin and said, "Then let me test you. The wind is northerly. What course should I take and how many knots of sail should I hang?"
Liu Banxian, like him, touched his chin, lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head: "I don't know!"
"Okay!"
The scholar nodded with satisfaction, "I don't understand anything. It seems that you are indeed the captain."
After letting Liu Banxian go, he looked at Yin Xiu again, looking him up and down, clicking his tongue.
"Long trench coat, leather gloves, long boots and white shirt. Either the first mate or the male model. But this is a ship, the female model still has a use, but the male model does not, so you are the first mate?"
The scholar's eyes moved, "How about I test you on the direction of the wind..."
"Boss," Yin Xiu interrupted him with a smile, "I, the first mate, paid for it, and I don't understand the wind direction."
"Huh?"
The scholar's eyes widened, "Then what are you doing on this boat?"
"Although I am a man, I am doing the job of a female model on this ship."
"Huh!?"
The scholar suddenly felt a chill all over his body. He took a few steps back and looked at Yin Xiu uneasily.
After a pause, he said: "You can come to my room at night. I also want to change my taste recently."
"Okay!"
After the scholar finished his questions and answers with Yin Xiu, he walked up to Ren Qi and looked askance at the man who exuded coldness.
"With so many swords on your back, are you selling them?"
Ren Qi ignored him, didn't even look at his face, just crossed his arms and looked at the sea in the distance.
The scholar refused to give up, walked around him, and then asked: "How about selling me one? I am also a good swordsman."
Ren Qi still didn't look at him.
Feeling uninterested, Xiucai looked at the sea dog who had been standing next to him covering his face.
"Hey, why do you keep hiding your face from others?"
"Boss, I've always been shy and afraid of meeting strangers." Sea Dog answered with a pinched voice.
"Do you still have this problem?"
"Yes, it was born in the mother's womb, and doctors from all over the country don't like it."
"Poor, really pitiful."
The scholar sighed and knocked the fan in his hand, "How about I help you treat it and change your face!"
Half of his sleeves were fluttering, and the scholar's hand, wrapped in the wind and thunder, reached towards the sea dog's face.
Yin Xiu's pupils were shocked. As soon as he raised his hand, he moved forward first. While blocking the scholar's palm, he slid forward half a step and took advantage of the situation to hit the opponent's heart with his elbow.
The scholar was startled, and opened the fan with his other hand. The thin, sharp blades came out, like a lotus blooming, and cut into Yin Xiu's fingers.
Yin Xiu turned a blind eye and took a deep breath. Dragon and tiger energy immediately surged out of her arms and wrapped around her fingertips.
Breaking Wind Claw!
The blade broke off the moment it came into contact with Yin Xiu's finger, and together with the paper fan, turned into a pile of rags, flying everywhere.
When the scholar saw this, his eyes were filled with tears. Before he could shout out, Yin Xiu punched him in the chest. He flew backwards and fell into the sea like a rag bag, causing huge waves.
The four pirates standing on the Black Widow were stunned when they witnessed this scene at close range.
After all, one of them had experienced many battles and quickly came to his senses. He rushed towards Liu Banxian with a knife and was about to kidnap the captain.
"Ren Qi!" Yin Xiu shouted.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ren Qi's hands clasped together seemed to be shaking. Then, the pirate who was several steps away from him suddenly spattered with blood, gushing out like a fountain, and his body followed. Cut it into two parts.
At this time, even the pirates who surrounded the ship from a distance finally saw it clearly.
After all, if such a big person was cut into two pieces in front of his eyes, anyone would have this horrific scene engraved in their eyes and heart.
"How?"
Even Yin Xiu was a little surprised, because as a bystander, he couldn't see Ren Qi's movements clearly.
Ren Qi just said calmly: "It's very simple, draw the sword, kill people, take it back, that's it."
On the other ship, several pirates quickly ran to the back and pushed out a cannon.
Just when Yin Xiugang wanted to raise his hand, he saw a black shadow flash out and stand directly on the cannon. While pressing the barrel down, his body rotated like a lotus. The pirates instantly used this posture. Falling to the ground, lifeless.
Almost everyone looked at the man wearing the green-faced fanged devil mask, or the life-threatening Yasha who crawled out of the sunken ship at the bottom of the sea, and did not dare to take a big breath.
Yin Xiu smiled and gave Ma Xiaoyu a thumbs up, indicating that she would stay there for the time being and not to act in a hurry.
Then, he slowly looked at the remaining three pirates.
"Who among you three has the final say?"
"The three of us are pretty much the same, that is..."
Before the person who answered had finished speaking, his head rose into the air and landed on the deck.
Yin Xiu looked back at Ren Qi, "I didn't ask you to chop him, did I?"
Ren Qi waved his hand, "I thought it would be easier to choose if there were only two left."
"Okay! Next time you kill me after I make the gesture."
"What gesture?"
"What gesture? I haven't thought about it yet, otherwise..."
Yin Xiu didn't expect it, and scratched his head while thinking hard.
Bah!
Another head rolled onto the deck.
"Stop!"
Yin Xiu quickly stopped Ren Qi. His sword was too fast. Yin Xiu thought that if it wasn't coming at her and she was mentally prepared, he might not be able to catch the sword.
Looking at the only person left, Yin Xiu sighed, "Does your words work?"
"I don't usually..."
"Huh!?" Yin Xiu frowned.
When the pirate saw Yin Xiu frowning and the master behind him turning his sword eyes, his scalp went numb again.
He trembled quickly and said: "Yes, I can count on what I said."
Seeing him being so cooperative, Yin Xiu felt a little unmotivated.
"Damn, anyone can become a pirate."
"That's right."
The sea dog shook his head, "It's time that makes a hero famous!" Yin Xiu ignored him, just picked up a knife from the ground, slapped the man's face, leaving a red mark, cold and hot.
Hotness is the warmth on the face, coldness is the coldness that penetrates to the bone marrow.
"How many of you are here?"
"Eight boats, each boat has about five or six, how many do you think there are?"
"I'm here for you!"
Yin Xiu patted him again, and the other person's face immediately became red and swollen.
"Am I asking you now, or are you asking me?"
"There are just over fifty people..."
There was a vibrato in the pirate's words, "We often had partners back then, sometimes there were a few more, sometimes there were a few who ran away, and no one knew how many would come out at a time."
"Oh, I see, I blamed you wrongly."
Yin Xiu removed the knife.
"If nothing happens, you can go back."
"Go back?"
The pirate's eyes widened in disbelief, "Boss, are you really going to let us go back like this?"
"What if?"
Yin Xiu rolled her eyes at him, "You can't kill all the bastards in this world. You said there are more than fifty of you. Even if you line up for us to kill them, it will take a while. We don't have time."
After a pause, Yin Xiu sighed again.
“Of course, it’s impossible to expect you to change your ways and return to the right ways like you who are licking blood from your knives.
I'm not a saint or a Bodhisattva, so I can't possibly influence you. I can instruct you bastards to leave the coal and water behind, and then go away! ”
"Thank you, big brother. Thank you, big brother. We'll leave now."
The pirate turned his head, pulled his neck, and shouted in slang to his companions. The expressions on everyone's faces became lighter and relaxed.
"Really not killing?"
Ren Qi suddenly asked: "Killing fifty people is very quick for me, it only takes a cup of tea.
And these are fifty vicious scum, bastards, not even human beings. ”
Yin Xiu just shook his head.
"I don't drink tea much, and the agreement I made with you was not to kill people.
Moreover, I said, there are endless bastards in this world to kill, robbers, nymphomaniacs, serial murderers, if you kill one, there will be another one.
Even if you hang the heads of these pirates on the city wall, there will still be skull and crossbones flags on the sea tomorrow, and they will all look the same.
Killing a few people will not change anything, just like digging out the maggots on rotten meat. As long as the rot is still there and there is no fire to burn it away, there will definitely be another batch of flies coming to lay eggs. ”
Ren Qi looked at him and suddenly laughed, "I originally thought you were afraid of violating the precepts, which is what monks and Taoists say not to kill."
"Huh! The commandments are for those who don't obey the rules!"
Yin Xiu pointed at herself, "But it's because I don't know what rules are, so I forgot about those rules."
"You'd better be so calm." Ren Qi turned around again.
[This man is sometimes cold and sometimes even colder. He is really a weird person, or he is an iceberg that keeps drifting. 】
Yin Xiu grabbed a cable, threw it towards the ship where Ma Xiaoyu was, and hung it gently on the mast.
[Master of Weapons] makes Yin Xiu feel comfortable using anything that can be called a weapon.
Ma Xiaoyu lightly jumped onto the rope, tapped her toes on the rope a few times, and then she jumped all the way to the Black Widow.
Yin Xiu looked at this wonderful and beautiful scene, and felt that the sunlight reflected from the water surface hitting Ma Xiaoyu's graceful body, her exquisite face, and the glimmer of light reflected from the pair of silver earrings all looked like oil paintings.
belch!
"I'm going to attack you! You only came out to rob when you were full?"
Yin Xiu glared at the pirate, who was obviously very angry at being interrupted at this moment.
"It's not me..."
belch!
There was another thunderous hiccup, and the pirate fell down on the deck, his face pale!
Then, there was a commotion among the pirates, and there were screams and shouts from ships of all sizes.
"What's going on?"
Yin Xiu picked up the pirate from the deck as if he were holding a chicken.
"Master Hong, it's Master Hong!"
"What's the red master and the black master?" Yin Xiu frowned.
At the same time, Ma Xiaoyu, who was running along the rope, stopped halfway and looked at the sea below.
At this time, the sea water seemed to have been cooked by something, and bubbles as big as a basin kept popping up from the ground. At first there were a few, and then there were a series of them, constantly emerging from the sea, making an amazing sound. My heart follows the sound of drums.
Several pirates had already noticed something. They cut off the ropes hooking the Black Widow and tried to escape by boat.
Yin Xiu looked at the sea dog, "Master Hong, have you heard of it?"
Sea Dog also looked at a loss, "I've only heard of worshiping Mazu, the Sea Dragon King, and even Nezha, but I've never heard of Master Hong.
Mr. Hong, maybe in a certain port land, some sailors regard the huge white whale and the extremely long-lived sperm whale as gods or dragon kings. It's not surprising.
There are all kinds of strange and weird illusions at sea. I remember hearing some ghosts say that when some ships passed through the foggy strait, they would hear the sound of sirens singing. Then the crew tied the captain to On the ship, he was tortured and whipped constantly to keep him awake. ”
"It's all a mess!"
Although I think the seals are not joking, anything can happen at sea, and we should not be careless, even if it is just a common sense fallacy.
So Yin Xiu grabbed the pirate again, "What's going on?"
Seeing that the man was unconscious, Yin Xiu drew a few sword gestures in the air with his hand, and a pure heart talisman took shape and penetrated between the pirate's eyebrows.
The man calmed down a little and said in a trembling voice: "Master Hong, he is the godfather of the scholar! He is a god with great magic, the overlord of the ocean, the butcher of the deep sea, and the great supernatural power that can travel across the seven oceans in the blink of an eye. ”
"Big shark?" Liu Banxian suddenly asked.
"What nonsense? So many names, are you talking about the same person?"
"It's not a human being," the pirate shook his head, "it's a god."
"If you are really a god, what do you have to be afraid of?"
"Not an ordinary fairy!"
The pirate stared with bloodshot eyes, "Last time, there were two foreign warships chasing us. The scholar boss just shouted into the sea, and the red master immediately set off huge waves, sweeping those ghost guys and thousands of people away. Tons of ironclad ships were swallowed into the ocean. ”
"Thousands of tons? Can a ship with only a thousand tons be called a warship? Is that a patrol boat?" Sea Dog said disdainfully.
"Regardless of how heavy those two boats are, I just want to ask, is the one in the distance the huge wave set off by Mr. Hong as you said?"
Yin Xiu looked into the distance. At the place where the sea and the sky met, a wave of water gradually came from a distance. Almost in the blink of an eye, it came to the front and turned into a huge wave.
Yin Xiu's hand shook, and Ma Xiaoyu stepped on the rope and was caught in Yin Xiu's arms. Then she couldn't help but take a deep breath, stunned by the scene in front of her.
Above their heads, the waves were like a mountain falling down.
"Seal dog! Think of a way!"
At this time, the sea dog was also dumbfounded. It was not until Yin Xiu reminded him that he hurriedly shouted to the sailors who were hiding under the cabin and were not aware of the situation: "Get out of here, turn the bow around, and move forward at full speed!" (this chapter) End)
