Chapter 329: The Dragon God Manifests
There are many rivers in the interior of China, and the most famous of them are the Yangtze River and the Yellow River.
Those who have been to the Yellow River and the Yangtze River will know that there are many local festivals, which are related to the river god or dragon god, and for most people, those who have not been to the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, the most familiar thing about these activities should be from an article in a primary school textbook.
The river god marries a wife!
It is precisely because of this story that many people subconsciously have no good impression of the river god, thinking that the river god is bad, and they have to collect so many tributes from the people every year, and once they are unhappy, they will make waves.
Even, even the author of Journey to the West was influenced by these aspects, and careful readers can find that in Journey to the West, Wu Chengen's depiction of the Dragon King of the Four Seas is not good.
Here, Brother Chen threw these tributes into the river, and after a while, the tourists shouted out in surprise.
"These dead fish are gone. ”
After these tributes were thrown into the river, the dead fish floating in front of the boat slowly sank to the bottom and disappeared, which shocked the tourists, could the river god really exist?
Otherwise, how to explain the phenomenon in front of us, the three animals and tributes just now were thrown in, and the dead fish sank, as if there was really some kind of existence under the water controlling these dead fish.
Seeing that the dead fish had sunk, Brother Chen was also slightly relieved.
"Fang Ming, what's going on, is there really something underneath this?"
Chen Ze asked in a low voice towards Fang Ming, and Ye Ziyu and the girls also looked at Fang Ming with curious eyes, because they felt that Fang Ming should know something.
"It's not clear yet, just read it. ”
Fang Ming shook his head, staring at the water, and the next moment, there was a flash of light in his eyes, and at the same time, the people on the boat suddenly screamed, because the entire hull suddenly shook.
"Ah, look at the water, look at the side of the boat. ”
Some tourists looked panicked, and everyone looked out of the boat when they heard the sound, and many people showed fear on their faces, because those dead fish did not know when they were floating on the side of the boat, and what was even more strange was that the river was like many springs, and the river water was constantly rising.
The river gushes, and the dead fish come up along the river, and as for the shaking of the boat, it is caused by these dead fish hitting the hull.
As you can imagine, the number of dead fish is huge.
Dense dead fish float around the boat, and the sight is shocking, and the scalp is numb.
At the bow of the boat, Brother Chen's face became gloomy, looking at the dead fish under the boat, there was also a chill in his eyes, and he shouted to the crew members beside him: "Please Dragon God." ”
When several crew members heard Brother Chen's words, their expressions became serious, and they all took out something from their arms, which was a pure black conch, almost the size of a fist.
Woo......
A special horn sound came from the conch, and the faces of the crew members were slightly red, as if blowing the conch was not an easy task for them.
Brother Chen was standing in front of the offering table at this moment, his hands folded reverently, and he read in his mouth: "People have roads, water has waterways, take advantage of the road to travel, salute first and then soldiers, and now the disciple Chen Qian asks the dragon god to protect him and keep the wind and waves calm." ”
Wow!
After reading it, Chen Qian lifted the red cloth, revealing a huge dragon head, which was a bit strange to say that it was a dragon head, because the dragon's horns were actually facing downward.
When he saw this dragon head, Fang Ming's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and the faces of several people on the deck changed slightly, and one of the old men showed a look of jealousy in his eyes.
"Play music, please show the spirit of the dragon god!"
Chen Qiangao snorted, and at the same time bit his index finger, smearing blood on the dragon god's eyes, and whispered something in his mouth.
The ancient sound of the horn, coupled with this mysterious ritual, made the tourists on board curious, but with the sound of the conch, the hull of the ship finally stopped shaking.
"Look, the dead fish are floating down. ”
The dead fish no longer floated around the boat, but floated down the river, which made the tourists on the boat breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time made them look at Chen Qian with awe.
Obviously, the scene in front of him shows that this person is not an ordinary person, and most of them are in awe of ghosts and gods.
"Keep sailing. ”
Chen Qian didn't pay attention to the gazes of these tourists, frowned, and then commanded the crew, while he himself returned to the top.
"This person has some skills, Fang Ming, who is he better than you?" Chen Ze looked at Chen Qian's departing back, and asked curiously towards Fang Ming on the side.
"There's nothing to compare. ”
Fang Ming smiled and refused to answer this question, the other party's handling method was completely different from him, and the other party looked like a person who ate waterway food, and he was naturally good at waterway.
"There's nothing to compare? ”
Chen Ze muttered, but Fang Ming had already walked away, walked to the bow of the ship, and stared at the dragon's head.
"Can I put incense on the pillars?"
Fang Ming asked a crew member guarding the bow of the ship, and when he saw that the crew member nodded, he picked up three incense sticks from the side, lit them, and bowed to the dragon's head three times.
Seeing Fang Ming's actions, the other tourists on the boat patted their heads one by one in annoyance, yes, why didn't they think of worshipping this dragon head.
On weekdays, they burn incense and worship the Buddha, and they don't expect those gods and Buddhas to really appear, but now it's different, they have seen the power of this dragon head, and it is very spiritual at a glance, why don't they know to worship it, maybe they can really get the blessing of the dragon god.
"I want to say goodbye too. ”
"Yes, yes, so do I. ”
These tourists stepped forward one after another, all of them wanted to worship the dragon god, Fang Ming also understood the psychology of these tourists, and smiled and gave way.
The boat continued on its way, and after half an hour, the river began to narrow and become sharp, and at its narrowest point it was no more than ten meters wide.
"Wow, the view is so beautiful. ”
Some tourists were amazed that the scenery on both sides of the strait felt like they were within reach at this moment, but it was at this time that four crew members walked up from the bottom of the cabin, and the eyes of the four crew members were on all the tourists.
"From now on, you can't make phone calls or take pictures. ”
Under the watchful eye of these crew members, many tourists who wanted to take pictures could only resist the urge to take pictures, because they almost knew the temper of the person, and said that they would drop them down.
The most important thing is that having seen Chen Qian's ability before, they have already been in awe of Chen Qian, and they dare not complain.
On the top floor, Chen Qian's expression also became serious, although he had already made many trips here, he still didn't dare to take it lightly every time he came, because once he was not careful, the result would be to turn into an underwater ghost.
"Look, there's a tunnel up ahead. ”
Sharp-eyed visitors noticed that there was a tunnel in front of them, and the water flowed directly into the tunnel, which meant that they were going to pass through it in a moment.
"It's amazing that this water rushed out of a tunnel directly at the bottom of the mountain, and the magic of nature is really unimaginable. ”
It's not surprising that there are underground rivers in the mountains, but these underground rivers don't usually appear on the surface, so many tourists are surprised.
"For a moment you all sit beside me and don't leave. ”
When he saw the entrance of the tunnel, Fang Ming's expression suddenly became solemn, and he said to Ye Ziyu and the others.
"Ah, why, isn't ......"
The women were stunned for a moment, but when they saw Fang Ming's serious expression, they suddenly understood something, and they all leaned on Fang Ming's side one by one.
"No wonder you have to be so cautious, it's because of this. ”
Fang Ming whispered, by now he finally understood why Chen Qian had such a request in the first place, but even so, he was still a little uneasy in his heart, and his intuition told him that something might happen this time.
"Brother Chen, I'm going to go in soon, are you coming according to the old rules? A crew member asked.
"I'll test it first, I have a bad instinct this time, the dead fish appeared before is too weird, and it won't appear under normal circumstances. ”
Chen Qian's hand didn't know when a box appeared, a pure black box, and his hand was placed on the top of the box, gently stroking.
After half a sound, Chen Qian's face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly shouted, "Stop the boat." ”
The boat came to a halt twenty meters from the mouth of the tunnel.
"What's going on, why didn't you open it?"
"yes, why did you stop again?"
The tourists were puzzled, but Chen Qian walked down from the third floor, his eyes on the many tourists, but each tourist stayed for less than three seconds, even Ye Ziyu and Ling Yao.
In the end, Chen Qian's gaze fell on a woman in her thirties and walked towards that side.
"You...... What are you going to do?"
The man next to the woman spoke, blocking the woman's face, and it was clear that it was a couple.
"Are you pregnant?"
Chen Qian ignored the man, his eyes locked directly on the woman, and asked.
"I ...... I do not know. ”
There was a look of surprise on the woman's face, but with Chen Qian's reminder, she suddenly remembered that her one seemed to be three days late.
It's just that she didn't take this matter to heart, because it was normal for that to be four or five days apart.
"You get off the boat now. ”
Chen Qian was silent for a moment, and suddenly said something that shocked all the tourists.
"What do you say, why did you let my wife get off the boat, we all paid for it. ”
The woman's husband quit and questioned directly.
Chen Qian frowned, "I will return the money to you, and I will arrange a crew member to accompany you to row back." ”
