This case stumped Wang Qilin.

He is as knowledgeable as Xie Hui, but he doesn't know what's going on.

Wang Qilin even speculated that this incident was so similar to what Taoist Master Jinhui encountered back then, and that the incident was related to the Pak Duopocha outside the Six Paths. So would this incident also be related to the Six Paths?

Although Taoist Master Jinhui and Luo Shui later found the place where the incident occurred, no victim was found.

Will the victim be taken out of the Six Paths?!

So a bold guess appeared in his mind: Is it possible that the place where the incident happened is beyond the six realms?

Will the mountain village that Jin Hui, Jin Yao and Qiu Gongzi’s father encounter that day be outside the Six Paths? Will the fleet be outside the Six Paths a few days ago?

He did not say this guess, but changed direction and said, "Go back and go to the city. Since you have reported the case to Huaiqing Mansion, I want to see what Huaiqing Mansion said."

When the flying boats walked back and passed the small village on the Hezhou on the way, Wang Qilin asked them to lean on the dock.

There is a small pier on the river bank, with about a dozen thatched huts, large or small.

Everyone lives here with fishermen's family. Every household is drying fish nets and dried fish, and you can smell the fishy smell as soon as you go up.

Ma Ming asked, "Seventh Master, go and ask about what happened a few days ago?"

Wang Qilin shook his head and said, "Buy dried fish, buy fresh fish, buy whatever you have, and then talk about it."

It was afternoon, and many fishing boats went out to fish and had not come back yet. There were only some elderly people watching children and fishing nets in the village.

There are no elders in the village. They are not from the same family, but fishermen migrated from all over the world. They can't survive in their hometown, so they come to this place to make a living by fishing and slowly settle down on this sandbank.

More than a dozen old women were fishing nets on a flat open space at the southern end of the sandbank. Xu Da quickly found the leader, so he took out a handful of copper baht and shook it and said, "Sister-in-law, I want to buy fish, dried fish and fresh fish, how do you sell it here?"

The leading woman is full of silver silk, but she is in good spirits and in good health. She looks bright when looking at people and works quickly. She not only repairs the fishing nets by herself, but also helps anyone who has a very bad fishing net.

Listening to Xu Da's words, the old woman smiled and said, "Look at my age, what are you calling me?"

Xu Da took a breath: "No way? Is it true that the people you fish in the river look so old? Then should I call you a big girl?"

Several old women laughed, and Xu Da laughed, and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm serious about buying some fish and shrimp. What do you have here?"

The leading old woman said, "Don't act like our fishermen have no knowledge. Are you wearing an official robe? Where did you come from?"

Xu Da said: "Master Guan likes to eat fish and shrimp. Do you have any here?"

The old woman said, "Some are there some big Yellow River carp that have just been caught. A ten-pound fish costs only twenty copper baht. How is the price? Is it fair?"

Xu Dadao: "Just, we want as much as you have."

When the old women were excited when they heard this, they put down their fishing nets and wanted to go home to clean up the fishing catch.

Carp, green carp, grass carp, thornfish, crucian carp, and common freshwater fish in the river are all available in small villages.

The varieties of dried fish are even more abundant, and there are also river shrimp skins and shrimps that they dry themselves. After cleaning up the village, they actually packed up a lot of things.

Xu Da bought them all happily. He asked Luo Shui to clean up these things and asked, "Do you remember this girl?"

The leading old woman nodded solemnly and said, "You are indeed like the officials in the city, and they are all here to inquire about the Twenty-Li Li Dang."

The old woman next to her hugged her grandson and said, "Of course we remember this girl. She suddenly rushed to us with someone. Look at her appearance. Her hair is yellow, her face is very scary. How scary is it that suddenly appears in the middle of the night? How can we forget?"

Another old woman said outspokenly: "She is a madman. Both of them are madmen. When they come, they say they encountered a ghost ship, saying that many of them were killed by ghosts, so we asked us to report to the official immediately. Of course, we have to report to the official quickly. Can we not report to the official when we meet a madman?"

Wang Qilin stood not far away to see the overall situation. When he noticed that the old woman said the "ghost ship", the old woman with silver hair frowned and looked around with her eyes floating.

There is a problem!

The women kept chattering. The fishermen were already very loud and good at chatting. Xu Da spent a lot of money to buy the fresh goods they had accumulated, but they were so beautiful that they were naturally willing to tell Xu Da what they knew.

But they all said nonsense.

Half of them are talking about what they were scared when they saw Luo Shui and others that night. It is worth noting here that a dog raised by a family was pregnant for more than a month and had not yet come to give birth. As a result, this incident scared him to the point of delivery...

The other half was talking about the officials who suddenly arrived a few days ago. They came to Shazhou to check the fishermen and asked them about the fleet and the disciples of Baichuanmen, but they didn't ask anything.

The loud voice yelled: "We just don't know anything. We said that there were more than twenty boats and more than one hundred people. Although the 20-mile storm was large, but so many people and boats were gone, it was impossible that we could not even find a shadow."

Someone secretly hit her with his elbow, and the woman inexplicably said: "What are you doing when you hit me?"

The person next to him whispered: "Bigfoot wife, shut up quickly. They spend money to buy our things just to find us for useful news. We have no news. Haven't they spent money in vain?"

Everyone held their wallets tightly, for fear that someone would take the money back.

Wang Qilin hung his eyebrows at Xu Da and winked at the woman with silver silk.

Xu Da said: "It's getting late today, so why not do this. We will stay here with you tonight. How about a house paying twenty copper baht accommodation fee?"

The old women rushed home to clean up the house.

The old woman with silver silk was about to leave, and Xu Da stopped her and handed her a few shrimps: "Sister-in-law, your shrimps taste so good, and there is oil. What's going on? Tell me the trick?"

When the others saw him stopping the old woman with silver silk, they subconsciously looked at it. After hearing his words, they felt relieved and continued to walk home.

Wang Qilin also grabbed a handful of shrimps and asked, "What do you call my sister-in-law?"

The old woman sighed and said, "The old husband's surname is Yao, and it's good if the adults call Old Man Old Lady Yao."

"It turns out it's the sister-in-law of the Yao family," Wang Qilin smiled. "Listen to my sister-in-law's words, you must be someone who has seen the world? Did you have a good family background before?"

Mrs. Yao said: "Sir, I'm sorry, what kind of world did an old fisherman see? But the old husband's family did have a few good years. It's a bit too proud to say that his family is well-off. I can only say that he has had a few years of full meals."

Wang Qilin asked, "You will know that your sister-in-law is a sensible person. So can you tell me something that you haven't told the yamen?"

Old Mrs. Yao sighed again.

Wang Qilin said sincerely: "Sister-in-law, you should know that something happened a few days ago. A fleet of ships did hit a ghost ship, and one hundred and two men died inexplicably."

"And this is not that one hundred and two men died, but that a man was killed, and that happened one hundred and two times! One hundred and two families are gone, one hundred and two mothers are gone, and I don't know how many women have no husband, and how many children have no father!"

Old Mrs. Yao said, "Sir, don't say anything more. I understand what you mean. Oh, you are different from the officials you came before. You are not only willing to spend money, but also willing to talk to us, rather than ordering us to kneel down and talk. You are good officials."

Wang Qilin said: "We are ordinary officials, and those are bad officials. There is no way to do this in this world. There are too many bad officials, and ordinary officials have become good officials."

Old Mrs. Yao laughed and said, "Sir, I can't help you any more. I can only tell you that the ghost ship really exists!"

"A few days ago, when the fleet passed by our river, we saw it coming. My youngest son wanted to sell their goods, but they refused to buy it and drove my youngest son away."

"My youngest son is a fisherman, and my husband's family is also a fisherman. He has been here for fifty years. He has come here at a young age and lives here for a lifetime."

Xie Hama suddenly asked, "Sister-in-law, how old are you?"

Old Mrs. Yao smiled and said, "It's almost the same for you to call me sister-in-law, I'm seventy-five years old this year."

Xu Da said in surprise: "I can't tell it. Old Madam, your face is very rosy, and your eyes are clear. Just now, you were walking steadily, and you were just looking at your body. Someone believed you when you were forty!"

Wang Qilin said in a deep voice: "Don't interrupt my sister-in-law for now, let her continue to say, please tell me what's going on with the ghost ship."

Old Mrs. Yao said: "When my husband brought me to this Hezhou, there was no one here, so my husband saved money to buy a broken boat to make a living."

"Just when he bought a boat and went fishing for the first time, he met the ghost ship you were going to inquire about, the wedding ship you were going to take care of!

She looked at Luoshui and said, "The boat is made of mahogany, with a circle of big lanterns hanging. The lanterns shine white. Someone was blowing and beating on the bow of the boat, right?"

Luo Shui shouted excitedly: "Yes, that's exactly what it is!"

She looked at Wang Qilin and others and said, "Look, you see, there is really this ship! This ghost ship has appeared!"

Old Mrs. Yao said: "Yes, it has appeared. My husband encountered it when he was fishing for the first time, and he almost couldn't come back!"

"My husband is a scholar. My son doesn't say that there are strange powers and gods, but there are really things about strange powers and gods."

"My husband saw the boat floating out from twenty miles in the evening. He felt something was wrong. At that time, the waterway had not been opened yet. Unlike now, there were fleets coming and going, and there were no people around him, so where did the wedding boat come from?"

"And it was evening when he hit the wedding boat. Who will pick up the bride at night?"

"He was very scared at the time, so he lay on the boat and hid with his eyes closed."

"That boat is scary. It has been spinning around my husband's boat. It wants my husband's life, but my husband hides in the boat. It seems helpless and can only circle around it."

"In the end, my husband saved his life. When he came back, he was so scared that he fell seriously ill. Fortunately, he was very lucky and finally survived the disaster."

"But this ship is so scary. My family wanted to move away, but there was no money and nowhere to go. Fortunately, this strange Hongxi ship never appeared again for many years, until a few days ago!"

Xie Haoma said, "Wuliang Tianzun, sister-in-law, your husband can survive that serious illness because he is not his fate, but his profound cultivation, right?"

Old Mrs. Yao looked at him in surprise and asked, "What did the real person see?"

Xie Haoma pointed to her heart and pointed at the bottom of her dantian.

Wang Qilin and Xu Da quickly pressed his arm: "I'm disrespectful to you." "Sister-in-law, don't care, he is not a flower Taoist priest."

Xie Hata, who was about to act like a paradise, exploded with anger, pushed the two away and shouted, "Wuliang Tianzun, the old Taoist is going to say that this sister-in-law has a Taoist heart and a Qidan! She is practicing our Taoist golden elixir technique!"

Old Mrs. Yao said: "What the real person said is very true. My husband has indeed practiced Taoist golden elixir technique, but it has nothing to do with his ability to escape the persecution of the ghost ship, because he actually got a secret golden elixir technique from the ghost ship!"

Wang Qilin asked, "What is the name of this secret technique of golden elixir?"

Old Mrs. Yao hesitated, with annoyed expression on her face. She realized that she had been impulsive just now and exposed a secret.

Xie Hama smiled and said, "Wuliang Tianzun, sister-in-law, don't worry. We all have cultivation and will not covet your secret skills."

Wang Qilin added: "We will also help you save this secret."

With a sound of his sword, five flying swords began to shuttle through the crowd.

Seeing that he showed his hand, Old Lady Yao was relieved. She said carefully: "This technique was also a coincidence for my family. It was not an old body, so Old body dared not expose it easily to avoid causing trouble."
