"Oh?" Yan Li glanced at him, "You know?"
Wang Qianfan said, "If I knew, I would've been rich long ago, living in a big house, drinking big bowls of wine, eating big chunks of meat, playing with beautiful women, hahaha …"
Yan Li resisted the urge to slap him.
Wang Qianfan winked, "Hey brother, don't be so serious. I'm just joking, don't be so stingy. Think about it, this ship is specifically for the Gold Sun Trade Association, one ship costs at least five thousand taels, plus we each pay a hundred and twenty taels, two days for a trip, compared to going with a hunting group … "
Yan Li said, "Breaking through the barrier of the Spiritual Realm, the maintenance of the ship, and so on are not a small number, and we might run into water bandits on the way."
"Ha!" Wang Qianfan said, "Of course not, who in this world would dare to rob the ship of the Cao Clan, would they be tired of living?"
He lowered his head, and said mysteriously, "It is said that the Cao Clan's leader participated in the Battle of Fallen Gods 20 years ago, who would dare to provoke those who survived that battle!"
"What's the Battle of Fallen Gods?" Yan Li asked.
"Oh my god!" Wang Qianfan rolled his eyes, "Where did you come from, brother, you don't even know about the Battle of Fallen Gods?"
"Are you going to tell me?" Yan Li's eyes were cold.
Wang Qianfan suddenly felt a chill, and quickly said, "It's 20 years ago, the war between humans and the Rakshasa and Shura tribes."
Yan Li said, "Do I need you to tell me?"
Wang Qianfan said, "Why are you asking me if you know!"
Yan Li said, "Looks like your knowledge is limited."
Wang Qianfan was not convinced, "Who said that, I know one more thing!"
"Oh?" Yan Li said.
Wang Qianfan cleared his throat, "The Battle of Fallen Gods ended with the death of the God Bonan of the Asura Realm, the humans won, and the two tribes returned to the Asura Realm, signing a treaty to never leave the Giant Deer Realm."
"What kind of god is Bonan?" Yan Li asked.
Wang Qianfan chuckled. "You don't know. In the Asura language, Bonan means' Holy '. That means that their Great Holy God has fallen, so they can't defeat the human race, so they chose to surrender. "
At this point, he said rather proudly, "Hmph, a mere alien race dares to invade our Great Celestial Empire? They're simply overestimating themselves!" It was as if the Battle of the Fallen Gods was his credit.
Fortunately, Fu Shi was not on this ship.
Yan Li secretly wiped his sweat for him, and then jokingly said, "What if some alien races step into the human world?"
"Sigh," Wang Qianfan said disapprovingly. "The Mutated Tribe has already been defeated. How would they dare to come here!"
"Why not?" Yan Li said half-truthfully, "Maybe it's nearby."
Wang Qianfan's face was suddenly full of fear. He scurried to the corner of the bed and shivered. "Could it be you?"
Yan Li said, "Do I look like a foreigner to you?"
Wang Qianfan said fearfully, "You don't look like one. Who knows if you're using some kind of trick!"
Yan Li saw that he was still a child, so he didn't scare him anymore. He smiled and said, "If I were a foreigner, you'd already be dead. I'm just giving you a piece of advice, 'Trouble comes from the mouth'."
Wang Qianfan sighed in relief and complained, "You scared me to death! By the way, I still don't know your name? "
"Gu Guanlan," Yan Li said.
Wang Qianfan laughed again. "Oh, it's Brother Gu. My father also told me that I can't talk nonsense outside. When I saw you on the ship, you were like a little wife. I thought you were a beginner like me. It turns out that you're a veteran. Then can you teach me how to become a constable? "
"What's so good about being a constable?" Yan Li said, "I just killed dozens of them yesterday."
Wang Qianfan was stunned. He couldn't help but laugh. "Brother Gu, I know you must be joking with me again."
Yan Li said lightly, "I always laugh when I'm joking."
For the next two days, Wang Qianfan didn't dare to disturb Yan Li anymore. He curled up in the corner of the bed like an obedient sheep. He didn't even dare to breathe loudly. He was afraid that if he made even the slightest sound, he would attract unknown misfortune.
Yan Li finally had some peace.
The ship sailed for two whole days. One day, around seven in the morning, the ship suddenly stopped as if it was stopped by something.
It took two breaths for the ship to stop. Even though the ship was stopped, it still slid forward for some distance.
Yan Li reacted very quickly. He suddenly stretched out his legs and stepped on the edge of the bed opposite him. His body, which was falling forward due to inertia, was as steady as a mountain.
Wang Qianfan was thrown out of the quilt and hit the corner. He cried out in pain and opened his eyes in a daze.
"What happened?"
The cabin was quiet for a while, then there was a commotion.
"It's the pirates …"
Yan Li heard the exclamation beside him.
"Pirates?" Wang Qianfan's expression changed. "Father lied to me. Didn't he say that the pirates wouldn't dare to rob the ships of the Cao Gang?"
"Everyone, come out. I'll count to ten. If you don't come out after ten, you'll die!"
At this moment, a rough voice came from outside.
Wang Qianfan hurriedly got up and shouted as he ran, "Brother Gu, let's go, or we'll be killed."
Yan Li joked, "You're scared when you hear it's the pirates. You still want to be a constable?"
Wang Qianfan laughed dryly. "I, I thought about it, but I still don't want to be a constable …"
The two of them followed the crowd out of the deck. They were pushed to the mast and gathered there.
They saw a circle of strong men with swords around the side of the ship. They were dressed very simply. Their upper bodies were strong, and they wore headscarves.
The ship's owner, Blackbeard, and the other boatmen were forced to kneel near the bow. They all had their heads lowered, so their expressions could not be seen.
Yan Li glanced outside the ship. He saw that it was a relatively narrow river with lush woodlands on both sides. However, he did not see anything that could stop the ship.
He was a little confused. How did these pirates stop the ship?
As he was thinking, he was suddenly pushed by a pirate from behind. "Walk faster. What are you doing? Dragging your feet!"
Yan Li pretended to stagger. As he lowered his head, he glanced behind him. What he saw made him frown.
He quietly walked to the mast.
"Sigh, life is so hard. It's not easy to swindle … cough, cough … save some money, but it's going to go down the drain again …"
When he stood still, he found that the Taoist priest and the little girl were already there.
Yan Li noticed that although the Taoist priest had a bitter expression, his eyes carried an indescribable sense of mockery.
At this moment, a man who seemed to be the leader walked over and shouted, "Hand over all your valuables. Be more self-aware! And you, Taoist priest, look at your shifty-eyed face. You must have cheated a lot of people. Today, I'm going to cheat you. Hand over all the valuables you've cheated! "
The Taoist priest regained his calm demeanor. He said seriously, "I'm from the Yellow Celestial Master's lineage. I can't be stained with money. Good people should not speak nonsense. You must know that the gods are watching. Whatever you say will become evidence to the gods. I'm afraid …"
"Go to hell!" The leader was furious. He kicked the Taoist priest.
The Taoist priest retreated in fear.
The leader's kick missed. He was embarrassed. He humphed coldly and circulated his Qi. He landed on the ground and spun around, fiercely whipping the Taoist priest.
The Taoist priest shouted. He suddenly pushed the little girl beside him.
Bang!
The little girl and her giant axe were kicked away. They hit the guardrail on the side.
Everyone was shocked.
Wang Qianfan shivered and hid behind the mast.
Yan Li's frown deepened. He glanced at the little girl. She was arching her back in pain. Her small body was trembling because of the pain.
"Bah!" The leader spat on the Taoist priest. "Coward. You used your disciple as a shield at a critical moment. You even said you're from the Yellow Celestial Master's lineage. I think you're a liar through and through!"
The Taoist priest did not dare to resist. He said to himself with a bitter face, "There are ten sufferings in life. Sufferings of birth, sufferings of old age, sufferings of sickness, sufferings of death, sufferings of poverty, sufferings of love, sufferings of hatred, sufferings of sorrow, sufferings of not being able to get what you want …"
The leader should be a first rank martial artist. The little girl did not die even after being kicked by a first rank martial artist.
She seemed to have finally caught her breath. She slowly returned to the Taoist priest's side. She did not make a sound.
"What are you looking at? Hurry up and hand over the money!" A water bandit placed a knife on Yan Li's neck.
"This is an old waterway, right?" Yan Li suddenly said without any head or tail.
The water bandit's expression changed. He shouted, "What are you talking about? Hurry up and hand over the money. Otherwise, I'll cut off your head!"
"Give it to me!"
Yan Li was just about to speak when he heard a shout from behind him.
He turned his head and saw a water bandit trying to snatch the little girl's giant axe.
The little girl hugged the giant axe and shook her head furiously.
Under the sympathetic gazes of the crowd, the water bandit stopped trying to snatch the axe. He walked over to the Taoist priest and kicked him. "Stinky Taoist priest, hurry up and hand over your disciple's axe. Otherwise, I'll throw you into the water!"
The little girl looked at the Taoist priest.
The Taoist priest said, "Give it to them."
The little girl lowered her head and finally let go of the axe.
The water bandit laughed coldly as he went to take the axe. The moment he grasped the axe, his expression suddenly changed. Then, as if it weighed a thousand tons, he could no longer hold the axe. His entire body was smashed to the ground by the axe.
The axe landed on the deck, creating a large crater.
"Are you sure you can do it?" a water bandit mocked.
The water bandit's face was filled with anger. He used all his strength, but he still could not lift the axe.
"Damn it!" he cursed.
At this moment, the axe seemed to come to life. It suddenly floated in the air, and the dent on the axe's blade suddenly split open. It actually turned into a monster's mouth.
Then, to the shock of the water bandit, the axe bit off half of his head.
Blood sprayed in all directions, and the corpse collapsed.
The axe returned to its original state and fell to the ground.
There was a deathly silence.
It was only when the little girl ran over to pick up the giant axe again that the crowd woke up as if from a dream. They all cried out in fear and retreated.
The Taoist priest slowly crawled up and patted his clothes. He said calmly, "I told you a long time ago, this humble Taoist is a true descendant of Heaven Master Huang. Subduing demons is my responsibility. Do you see this axe? It's one of the demons that this humble Taoist subdued. Mortals cannot touch it. Once it absorbs human energy, it will break through the seal and cause trouble. "
"Then how can your disciple do it?" someone asked in fear.
The Taoist priest said calmly, "I strengthened her with the Golden Armor Talisman."
"Don't talk nonsense!" the leader shouted. "Isn't it just a special precious artifact? You still dare to play tricks on me!"
Yan Li suddenly said, "I think that the Taoist priest is not the only one playing tricks."
The leader suddenly turned his head and stared at Yan Li. "What did you say?"
