Chapter 443

The pitch-black Great Marsh surged, and lightning rang out from time to time.

The rainwater on the deck followed the swaying of the ship, rushing to one side and rushing into the Great Marsh, and when the ship returned to normal, a thin film of water accumulated again.

No matter how big the ship, it was just a flat boat on the vast Great Marsh.

The crew on it were like dice in a casino, put into a jar and shaken by others.

Liang Qu put down the compass, snapped it into the slot, the needle trembled, and the direction drawn in vermilion was clearly visible.

"Continue forward, if there are any problems with the progress, find me at any time, for other problems, find Deputy Commander Ran, don't relax and be careless because of the demon-repelling ointment!"

The soldiers straightened their waists: "Don't worry, Master!"

The soldiers in the River Office were all experienced old sailors, Liang Qu was very relieved, exhorted a few words, walked out of the cabin, and returned to his room to sleep.

Based on the current progress, it would take about two and a half days for the fleet to arrive, and there was a four-day buffer from the vision, so there was plenty of time and no pressure.

Early the next morning.

In the early morning, there was still fine rain, at the first quarter of the Chen hour, the sky was bright, and it was a sunny day.

One end of the seven-colored rainbow sank into the Great Marsh, and the other end was cast into the clouds, with sporadic birds crossing the rainbow bridge.

Walked through the corridor to the kitchen for breakfast.

Soy milk, fried dough sticks, white porridge, preserved egg and lean meat porridge, scrambled eggs, fresh shrimp steamed dumplings, meat sesame cakes, and three kinds of vegetable buns and meat buns.

Just left the shore, all kinds of materials were fully prepared, the vegetables were fresh, and the dishes were rich.

There was a small ice cellar at the bottom of the ship to ensure the food supply within ten days, and even order dishes from the cook.

Liang Qu didn't have the disease of the rich, took a few plates and came to the window seat, eating while sinking his consciousness to investigate Awei's location.

The green boat drifted and swayed, splitting the waves, getting closer and closer to the location of the vision.

Everything is normal.

Ke Wenbin at the diagonal position of the kitchen saw Liang Qu sit down and gnawed the bun in two or three bites: "A-Shui! Any activities after eating?"

Liang Qu shook his head and reminded him by the way.

"What are you going to do? If you are too far away, you won't be able to find you if you lose the fleet."

"Not going off the ship, the weather outside is good, we want to fly a kite! Asking if you are coming?"

"Fly a kite?"

Liang Qu turned his head to look out the porthole.

The sky was clear, on the shore, it was indeed a good day for an outing.

It's just...

"Did you bring a kite?"

On the deck, shipbuilders washed the deck.

Ke Wenbin and others took out a pile of thin metal rods, assembled them in order, and then covered them with a layer of thin but tough and windproof special fabric.

Obviously, several people had premeditated for a long time and brought things on the ship early.

Yang Dongxiong stood aside to join in the fun.

When the assembled kite was fully unfolded, Liang Qu retreated tactically, his eyes alert.

"Why is the kite so big?"

The whole kite had nothing special in shape, just a large rhombus, with two cloth strips dragging at the tail, a three-year-old child could make it, there was no aesthetic at all, the strange thing was—it was big!

Very big!

The rhombus kite spread its wings, with a width of fully twelve meters, spanning the entire deck!

Not to mention the length.

If Ke Wenbin hadn't pressed the kite head firmly, it would have been blown away by the river wind long ago.

Such a huge kite was too conspicuous, and people on several nearby ships curiously poked their heads out and leaned to one side one after another.

Ke Wenbin grabbed the kite and looked up at the sky.

"Rare good day, who's first?"

Bai Yinbin suggested: "A-Shui! He must have never played!"

"I haven't played! So someone has to go first to set an example!"

Liang Qu was worried about pits and had a flash of inspiration.

"Well, that makes sense." Ke Wenbin looked around, "Who will set an example?"

"I will!"

Xiang Fang Su volunteered and stood out from the crowd.

He tightened his belt, grabbed the long metal column connecting the wings with one hand, and faced Ke Wenbin.

"Did you grab it tight?"

Ke Wenbin pulled up the long rope and raised his thumb: "Solid!"

"Take off!"

Before the sound fell, Xiang Fang Su kicked the ground with both legs.

Raising his head slightly, the whole kite flew up with the wind under the pull of the river wind!

Soaring straight up!

Liang Qu's line of sight moved up, the kite went away, and he immediately understood why several people were so enthusiastic; this was not flying a kite, it was clearly flying a person!

"Steady!"

Ke Wenbin retreated a step, controlled the kite, loosened his tiger's mouth, and the whole thin rope turned into a residual shadow.

After the rope pile disappeared for the most part, Xiang Fang Su flew to about seven or eight hundred meters.

Ke Wenbin wrapped his wrist around the long rope, letting the whole kite hang far behind the green boat.

Facing the grand sun, Liang Qu narrowed his eyes and stared.

Seeing the kite stable, Xiang Fang Su in the sky took action, he grabbed the metal rod, did a somersault, landed on the back of the giant kite, raised his hand and grabbed a long rope controlling the direction.

Pulling to the left, the kite tilted left, pulling to the right, the kite tilted right, as if controlling a giant rhombus bird, swimming in the sky!

The way of flying a kite was too novel, attracting a large number of martial artists from other ships.

One passed ten, ten passed a hundred, and in an instant, people from several government offices all came to the deck to watch, in an uproar.

"Whose general is that? So fierce?"

"I know, Xiang Fang Su of the River Office!"

"Really knows how to play."

"I want to play too..."

Ke Wenbin on the deck heard the discussion around him, looking proud.

"It's only fun when the wind is strong on the river, it doesn't work on land, unless the kite is made bigger, but it's too big to fly, heavy, and the frame is easy to break.

This method of flying people was figured out by us on the way from the capital. At that time, there were no materials on hand, later specially sent people to make a few sets, using eight-party gold as the frame, sky yellow cloth as the face, hard and light, but didn't play a few times after making it.

Good luck today, the wind direction didn't change much, old Xiang is quite steady, normally you have to fall a few times before you can fly."

Liang Qu covered the sun with his hand, could hear Xiang Fang Su's laughter overhead, riding the wind, having a great time.

This entertainment method was too dangerous for normal people and had no feasibility.

But for Wolf Smoke martial artists...

Falling from hundreds or thousands of meters, wouldn't you be bruised?

Perhaps the movement outside was really too big, Xu Yuelong poked his body out of the second-floor window, just wanting to speak.

His sight followed the rope in Ke Wenbin's hand all the way up, saw Xiang Fang Su in the sky, and his eyebrows jumped.

"What are you doing? Flying people in the air?"

"Reporting to the Commandant! We are scouting enemy intelligence!" Ke Wenbin was serious, "Standing high, looking far, Xiang Fang Su is the first flying wing scout of our River Office green boat team! Loyal to duty! Only hope the Commandant will dig out the advantages of subordinates, promote the virtuous without avoiding relatives, so as to promote early!"

Xu Yuelong: "..."

During the joy, a green boat caught up, and a brown-clothed youth at the bow shouted loudly.

"Hey! Are there any more! Borrow one for us to play too!"

"I'm not called Hey, I'm called Ke Wenbin!"

"Who doesn't know who? Be quick!"

"There are, three thousand taels each, buy or not?"

"Get lost! You didn't ask us for money when you ate our golden eggs!"

Ke Wenbin laughed loudly and turned to greet Bai Yinbin: "Take out the remaining few and lend them to them to play."

Bai Yinbin sent soldiers to get them, and the jumping board was set up between the two ships to send them over.

Two quarters of an hour later, the ships next door experienced several attempts and successfully flew the second large kite.

Seeing that there were really more, many ships came up to join in the fun.

Xu Zishuai followed and borrowed one, ran to Yu Dun's large ship, let Lu Gang pull the line for him, and also grabbed it and flew into the sky.

"Wuhu!"

For a time, four large kites flew in the whole sky.

Swaying, very lively!

Ke Wenbin shouted: "Spread the ships out, be careful of tangling the lines!"

The green boats gradually dispersed.

"If you provoke any bird demon, be careful yourselves."

Xu Yuelong shook his head and retracted his body from the second floor, but the window didn't close.

After that, another person came to borrow a kite, not as loud as other acquaintances, but sent subordinates to board the ship personally, quite polite.

Bai Yinbin gave one as usual.

Ke Wenbin turned his head: "Who is that, quite polite."

Bai Yinbin looked back and shook his head: "Don't know."

"Damn, you don't know and you lend it?"

"What's the problem, that person boarded the ship, should be someone from a family?"

Ran Ying felt familiar: "Seems to be from the Weng family?"

Ran Zhongshi glanced twice when he heard the words: "Oh, it's the Weng family, I know, Weng Shaoping."

"Weng family? Which Weng family?"

"There are two Grandmasters in Huaiyin Prefecture, one is the original Master Su, one is the loose person Weng Lijun."

"Oh, this Weng family."

Liang Qu's heart moved, mentioning Weng Lijun, he couldn't help but think of Su Guishan at home.

The attack on Huaiyin County involved these two Grandmasters.

On the surface, Su Guishan died in battle, Weng Lijun was seriously injured, and one of the Ghost Mother Sect died and one fled.

In fact, Su Guishan looked like nothing was wrong, his face was rosy, jumping around, eating dessert after four meals a day.

Weng Lijun's situation was unknown, and it was highly likely that he was really seriously injured.

Otherwise, how to lure the fleeing Ghost Mother Sect Jiang Zongshi out?

Ran Zhongshi said: "The Three Judicial Departments, the Demon-Catching Division, the River Office plus the government office people take the big head, there are not many families left that can come, and the Weng family accounts for thirty or forty percent.

I heard that after the prefecture was changed to a county, most of the Weng family moved to Pingyang Prefecture, only a part remained in Huaiyin County to handle business, I don't know if it counts as a branch."

Liang Qu was curious: "What does the Weng family do?"

"Alchemy, medicine making."

After thinking about it, Ran Zhongshi added, "Alchemy and medicine making are the big heads, planting, medicine picking, and medicinal material trade are the small heads, all involved in the upstream and downstream, more or less problems.

The president of the original local medicinal material chamber of commerce in Huaiyin Prefecture was Weng Lijun's son Weng Jinguo, seems to be eighty or ninety years old, I have seen him several times, his face looks older than his father."

Ke Wenbin was puzzled: "When did you see him? Why don't I know?"

Ran Zhongshi rolled his eyes.

"The consumable pills used by our River Office, the imperial court supplies fifty percent, the other fifty percent is produced and purchased locally, of which about thirty percent is provided by the Weng family, how could I not have seen him?

But Brother Yuelong didn't give the Weng family many quotas, seems to be only nine, inside Weng Shaoping is Weng Lijun's direct grandson, in addition, two Galloping Horses came over, estimated to be some old son?"

Everyone suddenly realized.

Liang Qu nodded, didn't feel it was wrong, Xu Yuelong definitely wouldn't open up to sell ship tickets.

Not working in the imperial court, after all, belongs to outsiders, giving a few families that quota can be considered a little benefit of cooperation.

Their own people eat meat, younger brothers drink soup, and then go down, smell the taste.

Played for more than a quarter of an hour, Xiang Fang Su waved from afar.

Ke Wenbin gradually retracted the line.

Waiting for dozens of meters of height, Xiang Fang Su pressed down hard, the kite cut direction changed, took the trend to fall on the deck, and landed accurately.

Xiang Fang Su jumped up from the ground, the excitement and flush remaining on his face.

"A-Shui, set an example, are you going up?"

"Try it."

Liang Qu rubbed his hands, giving birth to interest.

"I'll pull it for you!"

Xiang Fang Su took the thin rope.

Liang Qu learned the way, stood on the bow of the ship, grabbed the kite frame with both hands, and jumped hard.

Whoosh!

The river wind was vast, in the blink of an eye, a huge thrust came from both arms, pulling Liang Qu off the deck and rising rapidly!

Xiang Fang Su loosened his tiger's mouth, pulled slowly and released, rising higher and higher.

Looking down at the Great Marsh.

In the field of vision, the world kept shrinking, the green boats turned into narrow leaves drifting on the Great Marsh, more and more green leaves squeezed into the eyes, the crew on the deck were ants crawling on the pieces of green leaves.

The happy long wind whistled in his ears, blurring the sound of the tide for thousands of miles.

Several kites floated and swam, white-bellied water birds brushed past, the long tail of the kite fluttered, free and happy!

Don't say.

Awesome!

Liang Qu's clothes fluttered, his heart beat like a drum, he learned Xiang Fang Su's movements, grabbed the frame, flipped onto the back of the kite, saw a long rope connecting the two wings twitching, reached out and grabbed it, stepped on the kite surface and stood straight, as if riding a horse and pulling the reins.

Seeing this, Xiang Fang Su let out four-fifths of the rope in one breath, higher than all other kites!

Even pressed all other kites under his body!

Soaring with the wind, happy for a thousand miles!

Liang Qu stepped on the swaying kite with both feet, and grabbed the rope firmly with both hands.

His eyes fell, for a moment his arms were a little tense, subconsciously giving birth to some instinctive fear of heights!

But looking far away.

The boundless sky was blue, the rainbow bridge was gorgeous, the long wind rushed to his face, lifting the kite with two long tails to fly high.

Looking down.

The water marsh was sparkling, the sea was wide and the fish were jumping, two spirit porpoises alternated forward at the bow of the ship, the world was only blue and white. The clouds drifted low, and the waves surged and connected.

The heroism of riding a horse and charging rushed to his heart!

Happy!

There is great freedom in the world!

Even if you fall accidentally, it's just painful for a while, it doesn't matter!

This is the meaning of cultivation!

Liang Qu looked up at the blue sky, his body and heart were clear, and he roared with excitement!

In the agitation, a sudden impulse floated in his heart, his whole body's blood qi suddenly rioted, merged and flowed into a silver-white meridian, vast and mighty, crossed the Jiaji Pass, and joined the Chong Meridian as a hundred rivers entering the sea!

"This is..."

Liang Qu sat cross-legged, his momentum changed, and he suddenly had an epiphany in the dark.

He suddenly remembered the scene of his previous epiphany of the Monkey Fist!

Can the Xiangwang be obtained?

"What is that kid doing..."

On the deck.

Ke Wenbin and others felt strange about Liang Qu's sudden sitting posture.

Five hearts facing the sky...

Could it be practicing?

"That kid is condensing meridians in the sky!"

Xu Yuelong rubbed his chin, not knowing when he leaned half his body out of the window, his tone full of surprise.

Ke Wenbin looked up: "Condensing meridians?"

Xiang Fang Su followed: "What condensing meridians?"

Xu Yuelong showed a look like looking at a fool.

"What condensing meridians, Wolf Smoke cultivation, condensing meridians, building bridges, you two, one is Tianqiao, one is about to be Tianqiao, did flying a kite make you stupid?"

Ke Wenbin, Xiang Fang Su: "???"

Damn!

Really breaking through!

"Quick! Quick, bring the kite down! Don't let him succeed!"

"Bad things, played out of trouble! Retract the rope, retract the rope quickly, it's too late!"

The two shouted, but no one had any action.

Xu Yuelong laughed loudly: "Why did the rhetoric change, Fang Su is the number one scout, why can't A-Shui be the number two scout?"

Ke Wenbin was heartbroken: "From today on, expel Liang A-Shui from the scout team!"

"Unbelievable, flew a kite, flew something out."

"Did that kid really have an epiphany?"

"Whose evil obstacle is this? Not acting like a human?"

The martial artists on the other green boats gradually noticed the abnormality, asked and communicated with each other, and all reached the same conclusion.

Epiphany breakthrough!

Lu Gang pulled the kite line, moved his sight from Liang Qu, and fell on Xu Zishuai who was also in the sky, his eyes full of hope.

Xu Zishuai: "...?"

The sky was clear.

The others hanging on the kite were closer, perceived clearly, and looked at each other.

What's the situation?

Why did they feel nothing?
