"One worships the East China Sea and honors the dragon, the second worships the grace of the Yangzijun, the third worships the god of Hebogao, and the fourth worships the ghosts of the waters. Chen San and Li Si, cut off the head of the chicken, burn yellow paper, a few of you, cut the roast pig and throw it into the water, and at three o'clock in the afternoon, we will hang the red out of the water and set off firecrackers!"

Since ancient times, when boatmen go out to sea and river, they have to worship the dragon king, the water god and even the water ghost. The modern ritual has been much simpler, but this trip still took more than two hours.

Zhou Yi watched it with relish, the so-called everything is learned, these ceremonies of the boatmen were only seen on TV in the past, but today they can finally see the whole thing.

"Master, this is Grandpa, they prayed to the river god Dragon Lord and blessed us with a smooth journey. ”

Zhou Yi and Tang Bao broke up from Chongming Island, and Liu Wu Xiaoyezi also went to Kyoto with Tang Bao all the way; Although Xiao Yezi is only more than four years old, he can set a section at the age of five or six in the Go world, and there are many young masters who can give top masters a headache at the age of ten.

I don't know if I saw the master leaving, Chang Xianggu stood closer, since that night, she always likes to raise her pretty face and look at this uncle and master quietly. Since she got that kind of disease, she has rarely been in contact with the outside world, even if she sets up a bamboo raft to meet tourists, she has to wear that big hat, and close herself like a biochemical warrior, but Zhou Yi's appearance made her see hope, opened her heart, and the hearty and open-minded female personality of the boat family returned to her.

"Master, what are you thinking? Are you thinking about my future teacher?"

Ka Ka smiled, this girl has learned to joke with Zhou Yi.

"Looking at my rock. I didn't expect that I would make such trouble on a whim, this stone is so big, even if it is placed horizontally on the deck, the highest point is more than ten meters. Not to mention how many narrow waters you have to pass from here to the Yellow River and Jianma Lake, and how many 10,000-ton bulk carriers can run aground at any time, and how many of the bridges erected over the rivers, lakes and lakes are more than 10 meters high?

This 10,000-ton bulk carrier has been refitted, with many tire airbags to help float on the side of the ship, and the hull and deck are also widened, with a deck of 100 meters long and more than 10 meters wide. There are still black cinders left. Although this main stone is heavy enough, it has not yet exceeded the maximum load capacity of this ship, but it is too high, unlike when transporting coal, you can block it with shell plates around it, and exchange the area for height.

"Don't worry, master, my grandfather and those senior brothers and sisters are experts in water transportation, and this 10,000-ton bulk ship was originally designed to be used in inland rivers, and it has been modified by them in the later stage. The draft will not exceed three meters. Such a depth can be navigated even in inland rivers, not to mention that it is the rainy season, and the water levels of the Yangtze River, Yellow River, Huai River, and Grand Canal are all at historical highs, and even some waterways that cannot be navigated in winter. It's all smooth now. ”

When it comes to understanding water transportation, ten Zhou Yi can't catch up with a Chang Xianggu, and she is obviously confident about this shipping: "As for the method of crossing the bridge, I will keep it secret first, and then the master will understand." Hee-hee"

Zhou Yi also laughed, since he learned that practicing martial arts can cure 'body fragrance'. Aunt Chang Xiang became much happier, this is right, like a young girl.

"Set sail!"

Chang Sihai shook his spirits, walked into the wheelhouse, and held the rudder. He is already an old man over sixty years old, so naturally he will not be at the helm of the whole process, that is, he will put on a show, and he will be handed over to his disciples and grandchildren, but when it comes to dangerous waters, it is his 'water dragon king' who has to be the helmsman to make a boatload of people feel at ease.

Chang Sihai's loud voice came from the loudspeaker hanging on the bow flagpole: "Old and young masters, light firecrackers, go to Jianma Lake, there is the dragon king to take care of, the river god to escort, there are no taboos?"

The sound of firecrackers rang out, mixed with the shouts of more than a dozen people on the ship: "No taboos!

The freighter slowly sailed away from the dock and went all the way to the west, but Chang Sihai did not rush to hand over the rudder to the disciples and grandchildren, and held the helm steadily, and every once in a while, his voice came from the loudspeaker:" It is estimated that the water level of the Yangtze River will be affected by the heavy rain in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River; the current water situation in the ditch is about 5 meters deep and the water surface is 76 meters wide; the Huaihe area has entered a state of flood alert, and the water level is close to the historical high; the detailed water situation in the Yellow River valley in Lu Province has not yet been transmitted, and the weather forecast will also be heavy rain."

In inland rivers and lakes, big ships are looking forward to rain, which can avoid many grounding accidents, but they don't want heavy rain to become a disaster. The real veteran boatmen also have their own water networks, just like taxi drivers, who are always informed of 'road conditions', and the water bureau's reports and weather forecasts are far behind. Chang Sihai announced these contents to reassure everyone, but after a series of rainstorm notices came out, the boatmen became serious, and Xianggu, who had always loved to laugh, stopped laughing.

"What's wrong, Aunt Xiang?"

Looking at the freighter that was slowly sailing towards the center of the river, Zhou Yi was a little puzzled: "Isn't it a good thing to have rain? What we are most afraid of is that there is not enough rain and the riverbed is narrow, so we have to stop and wait." ”

"That's because the master doesn't know the horror of the torrential rain and flood peak"

Chang Xianggu looked up at the somewhat gray sky, and her eyes suddenly turned red.

***

The legendary terrible flood peak has not arrived for the time being, and the weather is still clear, in addition to the water lines crossed by the boats on the river, there are eddies looming from time to time, and the more it flows upward, the more whirlpools on the water surface will be bigger and bigger, and although the violent, 10,000-ton bulk ship can easily break it, the hull will also have a slight vibration.

Chang Sihai and Mingwei often get together, pointing at the water surface, Mingwei tied a glass bottle with a rope and threw it into the river, and then lifted it up to weigh the water with a special small scale, every thirty miles of waterway, it must be so. It is said that this is a measure of the sediment content in the river, and based on the change in the sediment content, experienced hydrologists can judge the water blue in the middle and upper reaches. However, this can only be roughly estimated, and in order to accurately understand the changing water conditions at any time, it is necessary to use special 'water ghosts' to detect. Weigh the water and cross the river with the 'water ghost'. They are all ancient methods handed down from the feudal era, don't look at the ancient, but they are more accurate than the detection of modern instruments. At that time, the water conservancy officials were all living with their heads in their heads, and when two rivers and one river went wrong, they immediately had to be full of people, and they were no more gentle and considerate to officials than in today's 'society under the rule of law'.

Those who do not believe can look through the history books and see how many times the Yellow River and the Yangtze River have breached since the Ming Dynasty and the disasters they have caused, as well as how floods have occurred in modern China. Of course, this is talking about disasters in peacetime. In ancient times, when there was a war, Chang Kaishen blew up the entrance of the garden, and there is no comparison between the 'man-made disasters' created by this troubled era.

Chang Sihai was a 'water ghost' when he was young, drifting down from the source of the Yangtze River wrapped in a skin, monitoring the water conditions all the way, recording into a book, naturally having a government purchase, fighting for his life, he can not worry about eating and drinking for several years. It was only since the eighties of the last century that this profession lost government support and gradually died out. Mingwei is different from him, and once spontaneously volunteered to be a 'water ghost' of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River. Drifting for tens of thousands of miles, for more than a year, the monk is Kan to check the water dragon and water veins everywhere, and write the world's feng shui can be public opinion. They are different from Chang Sihai, so when it comes to the depth of their understanding of the world's hydrology, even Chang Sihai is stunned. If you don't admire, you can't do it.

It is said that from the Yellow River branch to Jianma Lake, it is necessary to take the waterway that has never been seen in the hydrological map of China, not only to pass through the 'Water Ghost Beach', but also to pass through the 'Jianshi Canyon' where ten boats pass through nine boats. I heard Chang Sihai say that if there was no Mingwei, a monk who understood the water situation, even he would not have taken risks. Even if there is a clear smell, the danger is as high as 30%.

Fortunately, the so-called danger is at most the shipwreck and sinking, and these 'white stripes in the waves' who are begging for life on the water all have good water nature, especially Chen San and Li Si, although they have not been 'water ghosts', but they have received professional training according to the 'water ghosts', and it doesn't matter if they fall into the water. Chang Sihai was a little worried about Zhou Yi, what is the water nature of this white-faced rich man, doctor, cook, and martial artist?

"Master, do you see if I have achieved the level of qi throughout the whole body and pneumatic fist movements?"

The renovated deck is very long and large, and even if the area occupied by the boulders is removed, there is still a lot of room to move. In accordance with Zhou Yi's request, Chang Xianggu erected four rows of hangers on the deck, tied more than 30 coarse cloth bags filled with river sand, and turned around in them, smashing out a punch from time to time, making the sandbags 'bang'.

Zhou Yi is a contemporary master with a plug-in, and he doesn't know if it is Dan Jin or a higher level, but to teach an apprentice, he has to follow the method he heard from Guan Feng and Long Aotian, although he has strong spiritual power, at most he can only help Chang Xiangzhu when he breaks through the barrier, this process of grinding strength and strength from beginner to Ming Jin level cannot be omitted.

Fortunately, Chang Xianggu's physique is far better than ordinary people, and after a few days of standing on the pile, there is a weak internal qi in the body. Although this can't increase her punch power much, it can allow her to avoid internal injuries during training, and although musculoskeletal trauma is unavoidable, it has also been reduced a lot.

"Yes, if you continue to practice like this, you will be able to go to the Olympics in a month or two to participate in sanda competitions. ”

The sandbag weighing two hundred pounds was actually moved by her punch, and it has only been a few days of practice? Seeing the female apprentice so good, Zhou Yi has a sense of accomplishment.
