Volume 1: Deceived and Humiliated by You Chapter 184: Bone Ash

  Chapter 184: Bone Energy Turns Ashen

  The Hundred Flowers River's left gorge is desolate and devoid of human presence, with steep cliffs on both sides, an uneven riverbed, and dense hidden reefs. It's the most difficult part of the Ghost Gate. Good to death, let Mozi "lucky" hand be drawn.

  Min Song looked at the sailboat that had stopped not far away from entering the strait, and wondered what Mo Ge was planning. He discovered that it was like building a model boat in a closed room to hide one's strength, leaving someone on the shore to clear the way for his companions underwater, and that person would never do anything without a reason.

  "Song Shao Ye, just hold on tight to the ship's rudder and don't panic." Chang Ji thought he was nervous because his mind was elsewhere.

  Everyone knows that this young master's skill in sailing is the worst among all the sailors, and he would get seasick even on a big boat, let alone this small one. However, what surprised him was that this time, Min Song didn't insist on leading himself, but instead handed over the power to him. He didn't decline, although the other three craftsmen were more experienced than him, but when it came to sailing, he had trained with fishing boats in the southern sea for three years, and he was indeed capable of being the captain.

  "I'm not in a hurry." Min Song turned back his gaze, "I just saw that Hong Yu didn't leave yet."

  One of the five, who had used the oar to splash water and damaged it, but escaped injury himself, showed no remorse, looked down on others with a smirk, and said, "Without an oar, using sails in this windy gorge is useless, you'll just be spinning around in circles."

  No one paid attention to him.

  If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't switch people midway, Min Song would have wanted him to get lost long ago. Normally, when everyone is drawing ship diagrams together, it's not obvious, but at critical moments, this person is basically pampered and extremely self-righteous, thinking he's better than others.

  "Master Song, let's not interfere with other people's business. This Hundred Flowers Valley is said to have been inaccessible by boat for over a hundred years, but I believe that caution can ensure safety for eternity. As long as we focus our minds and spirits, we will definitely be able to get through without disgracing the name of Daye." Changji has ability, courage, and experience.

  Min Song had long put down his young master's airs and decided that he couldn't lose face for his ancestors in the final pass. Although he didn't know how to sail, he wouldn't drag everyone down either. At this point, he gritted his teeth, grasped the ship's sides with both hands, and nodded heavily at Chang Ji.

  With a loud cry, they set off, four oars striking in unison. The small boat sped quickly out of sight around the river bend.

  Stinky fish saw it and was a bit impatient, shouting loudly, "Brother Mo, the people who went up during the day have all left, why haven't we set off yet?"

  The strait was flat, the wind blew from all directions, and the small boat spun around, but except for Zan who sat down a bit uncomfortably, Mozi and Xiaoyu's three brothers stood firmly.

  "This pass has no time limit, even if we exit the gorge tomorrow, we will still have passed the Ghost Gate." Mozi had a plan in mind; she didn't come to fight for victory or defeat. "I've made some adjustments to the mast and sail. Although I mentioned it yesterday, it needs actual operation to become proficient. We all came from Jingyu Beach, and let's just say that the name 'Baihua River' sounds nice, but we shouldn't be afraid of it. However, the Yongfu ship is very different from this one. We know the Yongfu ship like the back of our hand; even with our eyes closed, we can steer it. But this ship requires agility and coordination among the five of us to operate. If anyone slows down or makes a mistake, we might all be defeated. So let's take advantage of this strong wind to practice first. When I point somewhere, the boat will go there, and then we'll set off."

  Mozi took out three small flags, red, yellow and blue. "These represent the mast and sail colors. According to yesterday's allocation, you three brothers will each be in charge of one sail. I'll wave a flag of a certain color, and you'll pull the corresponding colored sail. At the same time, look at my left hand, one finger represents one grid. If I hold up three fingers, you must adjust the sail to the third mark on the mast."

  After finishing speaking, he pointed at Zan Jin again.

  Zan Jin hurriedly stood up, but was thrown off balance again and fell back down. Chou Yu laughed at him, but he didn't have time to laugh back, instead perking up his ears to listen to Mo Zi's words.

  "Alright, I'll take the lead at the front, so you're in charge of the back. When I tell you to go left, no matter if you use your sword to poke the reef or your luck to hit the water, you must make the boat turn left. Once to the left is one unit of force, twice to the left is two units of force. How much force to use each time, we'll figure it out as we practice. The key is to remember this rhythm and apply even force every time." She needed an emergency rudder in case they encountered hidden reefs or shallow waters. Zan Jin was clueless about boats, but he had strength and skill, and was quite clever, so she trusted him.

  Then, the boat was seen in the whirlwind formed by the four sides and eight directions, suddenly left and right, front and back, and from time to time, big or small splashes of water were ejected from behind. Until the tricolor flag no longer fluttered, it stopped for a while, then the large blue triangular sail opened first, assisted by the half-open yellow and red triangular sails, and shot forward like an arrow.

  At this time, it seemed that the chaotic wind that had been blowing wildly for hundreds of years was all blowing in one direction - the direction of Mozi's finger.

  The five-li gorge is actually very short, but in the Hundred Flowers River, there is almost a bend every hundred meters, and the water flow and terrain before and after each bend can be completely different. It's as if this gorge was originally an intact mountain, but it cracked open a seam, unevenly, and put all sorts of difficulties and dangers here, just to make the hundred flowers bloom together.

  The Hundred Flowers River, after entering, it's indeed as its name suggests. Wherever the water flows and there is soil, there must be flowers, and they are of many varieties. The most charming ones are the large patches of late-blooming wild peonies, either all white or all red, without a single mixed color.

  They traveled nearly four miles of waterway, seventeen or eighteen bends, rapid currents, counter-currents, fierce winds and hidden reefs. Having experienced everything, even the three brothers who had been running boats since childhood seemed to be having a hard time. Zan Jin was even more exhausted, his face turned outward, in a prone position. As for Mozi, it goes without saying that he was injured and in pain, but he gritted his teeth and didn't make a sound.

  Stinky fish mouth cursed, "Damn it, who would have thought that someone would let a boat pass through here? They must be full and looking for trouble, and that bastard must not have walked through himself, thinking that wherever there is water, a boat can pass. Let's go out and ask, if he's still alive, I'll tie him up and make him take a walk."

  Fat shrimp rarely echoed his younger brother, "This person may have a vendetta with someone and deliberately let the enemy send him to death."

  Stinky fish slapped his thigh, the mast with a red triangular sail spinning wildly, the boom almost hitting the blue sail held by Watersnake.

  "Whoever is careless will die, but our people on this boat cannot die."

  The water snake's boat-driving skills were the best among the three brothers, with strong concentration and adaptability. According to Stinky Fish, when they used to run solo, Water Snake was always in charge of steering, and Fat Shrimp would listen to him. In Mu Zi's observation, since she taught them how to gauge distances, as long as Water Snake said to turn the boat 15 degrees, he wouldn't turn it 16 or 14 degrees - his precision with angles was extremely sharp. So naturally, controlling the mainsail fell to him.

  "Not bad, we're all in the same boat, let's make a good run for it." The mountain rocks gradually receded, and the water flow appeared before their eyes. Mozi was shocked and couldn't help but shout loudly, "The whirlpool is approaching, hold on tight!"

  The three brothers were stunned for a moment, and the boat was pulled over by a huge force.

  He heard Mozi's urgent shout to grab tightly, and immediately grabbed it firmly. At the same time, he turned his head back to see a black cliff wall pressing towards him, suddenly feeling that he was about to be crushed to pieces. His mind went blank, but he could still hear Mozi's urgent voice - "Right, keep hitting". Keep hitting means to hit continuously at a high frequency until Mozi gives the next command. He aimed at the mountain wall that was pressing down on him, making his fastest punch yet...

  Min Song struggled to get up from the muddy ground, his whole body aching as if his bones were all disjointed, and he could even hear cracking sounds. Their boat was left with only some broken planks stuck in the mud and sand. Not far away, three masters were lying on the wet ground, seemingly still breathing. Where's Chang Ji?

  He hastily changed direction, and saw Changji standing three zhang away from him, covered in mud, facing the water flow, as if he had become stupid. He couldn't help but look over there, his soul also escaping.

  The Hong Yu's boat was also experiencing the strange currents that were dismembering their ship. The captain, Mo Ge, had three colorful flags in his right hand, changing like a windmill, shouting loudly, and then the three people manipulating the mast moved like lightning, pulling, collecting, hitting, turning, not hesitating for a moment. The three strange sails suddenly opened and closed, and could turn around. Finally, the big guy at the back of the boat was banging against the mountain wall with a loud crash. Everything seemed chaotic, but the small boat always managed to navigate through danger safely, almost sticking to the cliff wall, from far to near, sailing towards them.

  It's sailing, not being swept away by the water. Although it looks precarious, it gives people a sense of stability in its precariousness, stopping in front of the Min Song with the waves crashing against the small shore. The flat-bottomed boat, landing on the shore is also flat.

  That Mexican jumped down, with a concerned look on his face, and asked if he needed help. He said with great dignity that it was not necessary. The Mexican just laughed and said that in this kind of place, dignity is crushed to dust, survival is what matters most. Suddenly, he thought that made sense.

  So, after resting for a while, the group of people from Min Song were on Hong Yu's boat. Three of them were seriously injured, and Mo Zi let Da Ge put them to sleep. Chang Ji stared intently at the three masts, making the three men controlling the sails somewhat vigilant, deliberately using their bodies to block his view. Min Song believed that if it weren't for Mo Ge saying that the secret technique wouldn't be spread outside, he would have also been like Chang Ji, not hiding his interest in the mast at all.

  "How did the water calm down all of a sudden?" Zan had rested and was even more spirited, already getting used to the boat's rocking motion.

  "You're still complaining about the calm? Just now it was almost like the sun-rising boat, splitting into four or five pieces. The calm is not bad, we can take a rest." Stinky fish was sailing alone.

  Chang Ji muttered to himself, and coincidentally, Min Song overheard him, "Swimming against the current is still so easy."

  The purple hand holding the red flag suddenly retracted, and the stinky fish's red sail also retracted towards the mast, almost simultaneously. The boat was at a bend, slowly moving forward. Only after going upstream did the water finally become still.

  Min Song finally knew the use of the colored flag and couldn't help but secretly praise it as wonderful.

  Mei Zi turned around, her clothes rustling softly, and smiled, revealing small white teeth. "This is the final bend."

  Stinky fish muttered, "Mo Ge, do you know that when you laugh, it's very... Ahh, mom!"

  Scared him back with just one word.

  Today's first update.

  The second update will be later, so don't wait up for it, around 10 o'clock or so.
