Blue, Red and White Dark Abyss Cauldron

The three men carried the body of the boatman named He and threw it into the sea.

Although the sound of the body falling into the sea was loud, no one could distinguish it amid the noise of the boat breaking through the waves and the wind blowing the sails.

Yang Dou said softly, "If we kill two more, there will only be six of them left, and two of them are seriously injured and haven't recovered yet. With three of us against four of them, we are sure to win."

Chu Xiaomu was very worried. He had always had a strange feeling about Qin Gang among the Snow Country people, but he couldn't tell what the feeling was.

This man looked very honest and kind, but the confidence in his eyes was something that ordinary people didn't have. I just hoped that I was overthinking it. If he was really a powerful person, then Xiaodou, Xiaomeng and I would definitely have fallen into his trap this time.

The three of them still hid quietly on the side of the cabin door, waiting for the Snow Country people to come up.

But after waiting for a long time, no one came up on deck.

Huai Xiaomeng could no longer hold his temper and said, "How long do we have to wait? If they don't come up, are we going to keep waiting? Why not just kill them directly!" After saying that, he was about to get up and go down to the cabin.

Chu Xiaomu quickly held him down and said, "Don't worry. If you want to kill them, you have to wait until they fall asleep."

Huai Xiaomeng cursed, "Two cowards!" But he still held back his anger.

After waiting for a while, still no one came up.

Chu Xiaomu came up with an idea. He walked forward and opened and closed the cabin door with force, causing it to make a creaking sound and occasionally bang against it.

Not long after, Bai Yixing was heard shouting loudly: "Brother Dai... I don't know what's broken up there, please go up and take a look..." He shouted several times and stopped only after another person responded.

After a while, the boatman named Dai really came up on the wooden stairs, complaining, "There must be a lot of places on this boat that haven't been repaired yet. I told you not to rush out to sea, not to rush out to sea... but no one listened! I think something big is going to happen. When the wind and waves get strong, it will definitely be smashed to pieces and sink to the bottom of the sea..."

When he came out of the cabin, a gust of sea breeze blew, and the boatman surnamed Dai said to himself: "Why is it so fishy?" He walked forward a few steps and suddenly saw a sharp blade sticking out of his chest...

Chu Xiaomu and his two companions killed another Snow Country man and threw his body into the sea. They gradually became bolder and thought that killing people was just like hunting sheep and deer, and there was nothing special about it.

Little do people know that humans are different from animals. One of the differences is that humans do not kill indiscriminately without reason.

The reason why they were so cold-blooded and killing each other was that their minds were blinded by the demon of hatred. In their anger, they could not distinguish between good and evil, kindness and virtue, and could not tell enemies and creditors apart, nor did they understand how precious life is.

In the cabin below the deck, the sound of Bai Yixing arguing with others became louder and louder, and words such as "ancient tripod" and "Baihua Island" could be vaguely heard. He was hysterical at one moment and pitiful and stupid at another, which was completely different from the handsome and elegant image he had on Baihua Island.

Chu Xiaomu and the other two also recognized that the person who was quarreling with him was Qin Gang. However, his voice was always relatively calm. No matter how Bai Yixing called out, he spoke steadily, as if he was not afraid even if the sky fell.

Chu Xiaomu used the same trick again and pushed the cabin door hard. The Snow Country people in the cabin seemed to be so intent on arguing that they had no time to pay attention to what was happening outside.

When the three men saw that the quarrel between Bai Yixing and the others was related to Baihua Island, they discussed for a while and decided to go down to the cabin and kill people.

The cabin was very narrow, and there were two oil lamps in the corridor, which flickered. The three of them tiptoed to a small dark compartment and quietly went in.

Bai Yixing said loudly: "When we get to Cangmu Country, I will sell this ancient tripod. Let's part ways in peace and never see each other again!"

Qin Gang said: "It's not that easy to sell this ancient tripod. There are not many people in the world who know the value of it. Even if you meet someone who knows the value of it, they may not be able to pay the price you want."

Bai Yixing shouted, "Great! What did you say at the beginning? You said that my merchandise is like 'rock to gold and jade, and gravel to pearls' compared to this ancient tripod. We took such a big risk and did such a bad thing, and now you say that this tripod cannot be sold!"

Qin Gang snorted coldly and said, "That's right, this tripod cannot be sold and must be sent back to the Snow Country Fengcheng. How can your commercial goods be compared with this tripod? You are flattering yourself too much!"

Bai Yixing was furious and shouted, "I've been thinking about it these past few days and it seems to be wrong. When you were offering sacrifices to the ancestors at the Nanzhai ancestral temple, you said that this tripod was a priceless treasure. It seemed like you said it unintentionally, but in fact you said it for me to hear. Is that right or not?!"

Chu Xiaomu and the other two couldn't hear Qin Gang's answer, so they thought he nodded or agreed.

Bai Yixing added: "Although it was my idea to poison the wells in Nanzhai, I also heard your suggestion. You said casually, 'The rats and insects on the boat need to be cleared with ghost fish powder', but you were actually saying that to me, right?" Qin Gang remained silent.

Bai Yixing suddenly chuckled a few times and said, "So... So... You are so vicious!" His voice trembled and he seemed extremely excited.

Qin Gang said calmly, "I just said that there were too many rats and bugs on the boat and we needed to use ghost fish powder to get rid of them. You misinterpreted my meaning and poured whole bags of it into the well where the islanders drank water. You are so vicious that you falsely accused me of it. Besides, your lifesaver, Grandpa Chu Xiaomu, was not poisoned to death by ghost fish powder. You did it yourself!"

These words exploded in Chu Xiaomu's mind like a bolt from the blue.

He had thought about his grandfather being killed by the Snow Country people dozens of times. He thought it was Qin Gang who killed him, Hu Yong or other Snow Country people who killed him, and he also thought it was someone accidentally killed him...but he never thought it was Bai Yixing who killed him personally.

Grandpa and he brought Bai Yixing home and let him live in their home for more than ten days, taking care of him wholeheartedly every day.

He himself worked tirelessly, traveling hundreds of miles day and night to collect golden bird's nests to cure Bai Yixing. When collecting golden bird's nests on the east cliff of Baihua Peak, he almost fell off the cliff and died. He never mentioned these to Bai Yixing. In his heart, Bai Yixing was no different from his biological brother. Saving his brother's life was the right thing to do, and he would never hesitate.

Judging from his own experience, he also felt that Bai Yixing was not an ungrateful person. Even if he wanted to steal the ancient tripod, he would never return his grandfather's life and his own. However, from the conversation between Bai Yixing and Qin Gang, he learned that it was Bai Yixing who killed his grandfather. It was not an accident or a mistake, but a deliberate murder!

For Chu Xiaomu, nothing could be more sad and angry than this. He was sad because of his grandfather's death, and he was angry because he felt cheated and betrayed by someone close to him.

At this moment, I suddenly remembered what the flower fairy said: "If everyone in the world had good and bad written on their faces, there wouldn't be so many grudges and intrigues..."

Chu Xiaomu couldn't bear it any longer, so he kicked the door open with a bang and rushed to the room where Bai Yixing and others were.
