Chapter 83: Greed Ends
Beihai is located outside the border of Beiyang State, and logically speaking, it is not within the jurisdiction of Beiyang State. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoWith Beiyang's current national strength, he has no time to take care of this vast sea area beyond the national border. Beihai is adjacent to the dry mountains, and there is only a small fishing village in the middle - Haina Village. It was also the last place where Yun Mo and them stayed before entering the North Sea.
Along the way from the Sumy River to Haina Village, after taking the waterway and land, it took them more than two months to arrive, of course, the distance is on the one hand, the most important thing is the little boy's coquettish mischief.
However, the relationship between the two has grown by leaps and bounds in the past two months, and the little prince finally admitted his identity as a quasi-saint princess and promised Yun Mo to marry into the Holy King's Mansion on her eighteenth birthday. As soon as the prince was happy, he spoiled the little princess to the sky, and accompanied her to mess around along the way.
During this time, Di Chen, Long Ming and Gu Yu fused very well, and Murong Lingfeng gave them a set of mental tricks, and after two months of cultivation, they were already able to appear in front of ordinary people in human form in a short period of time. Although they are both ancient jade spirits, they each have their own thinking consciousness, and the two have made a gentleman's agreement that they are not allowed to peep into each other's thoughts. They are both souls that have been immersed in thousands of years, and they get along well. It's just that Di Chen has always had a wish - he wanted to see General Lisheng again, Murong Lingfeng promised him, and when he had cured the poison of the Seven Star Gu for Emperor Chu, he would throw him to the "old people's apartment" to accompany Lisheng.
Di Chen fantasized about spending the rest of his life with the general, but Long Ming was struggling with the word "senior apartment".
If you want to say that the worst thing in the past two months is Yun Mo. Although he was in a happy mood, he couldn't resist the physical discomfort, Yun Mo didn't know what was wrong with him, he just felt that his body was very empty, and the last time he drank some water from the mother river, it was just a drop in the bucket, and his body became more and more dissatisfied. Only when he held the little one in his arms could he breathe a little easier. Yun Mo secretly wondered, is he so impatient?
Murong Lingfeng also found some clues, if the prince had nothing to do before, he would take a book to read, or practice swords, and sometimes even pull her to draw a picture of Danqing for her. But in recent months, Yun Mo didn't have the energy to do this anymore, he often sat on the chair alone and looked sick. She also asked Yun Mo if she was sick, but Yun Mo was embarrassed to say it, so she could only prevaricate about it.
In the midst of Di Chen's longing for the General, Long Ming's entanglement in the elderly apartment, Yun Mo's suspicion that he was terminally ill, and Murong Lingfeng's concern for Yun Mo's body, they arrived at Haina Village.
I thought it was just a small village, they were just resting here, but they didn't expect this small village to be treacherous.
There are not many families in the village, only a dozen or so. However, a large fishing net hung in the yard of each house, and the family gathered around the net and kept weaving the net. The village was so quiet that you couldn't hear the barking of dogs except for the sound of the webs.
Although it is not the peak season for fishing, there is no need to weave nets so diligently, Murong Lingfeng visually measured the size of this net, which is probably more than ten times larger than ordinary nets. Is weaving such a big net to go whaling?
Di Chen walked up to the old man and asked politely, "Old man, excuse me." Is this Haina Village? We want to rent a boat to go to Beihai, but I don't know where we can rent it?"
The old man didn't say a word, he didn't even raise his head, and the movements of his hands never stopped. The few young people next to him were like this, as if Ogichen didn't exist.
Di Chen pinched his cheeks, he couldn't be blurred again, ordinary people couldn't see him, right?
Di Chen patted the old man's shoulder without giving up, "Old man's ......" At this time, he clearly felt the old man's body tremble, but the old man was still silent, and his movements were getting faster and faster, and the people next to him were also like this, as if they would suffer from the curse as long as they stopped what they were doing.
Di Chen withdrew from the courtyard, and the old man seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
He shrugged at Yun Mo and the others, "What if they ignore me?"
"Let's go to someone else's house and have a look. Long Ming walked out first.
They visited a few more homes, and the situation was exactly the same.
A few people had no choice but to go to the dock by themselves, planning to try their luck to see if there were boats for rent at the dock.
They went around the docks, and the situation was even more strange than that of Haina Village. There were no people and no boats on the dock, and it seemed to have been abandoned for a long time.
How can you go to sea without a boat?
It was already late at night, and Yun Mo and the others had to return to Haina Village. The village was brightly lit, and when I got closer, I saw that the villagers were still weaving nets at the door.
"Aren't they tired?" Murong Lingfeng couldn't help but ask.
"People get tired unless they're not human at all. Long Ming analyzed.
"Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island. My Fair Lady, Gentleman. Jagged wattles, left and right flowing. My Fair Lady, the ...... of longing"
Suddenly, an abrupt voice came from the quiet village, and it looked like someone was drunk and talking nonsense. The villagers seemed to be surprised, and no one was moved. But this is a hope for Yun Mo and them. Especially the little boy, this person's voice is familiar, and the poems he recites are even more familiar.
A few people followed the drunken words and drunken words to find it, and sure enough, they saw a familiar figure leaning against the door crookedly, chanting poetry to the moon with wine as a song.
"Xia Mu!"
Murong Lingfeng recognized the man and ran up in a few steps, "Why are you here?"
Xia Mu patted his head to sober up a little, and looked at Murong Lingfeng, "Yo, Xiao Lingfeng, you're finally here!" He tugged at Murong Lingfeng's cheeks, "Who asked me to come to Beihai and wait for her?
"What's going on in this Haina Village?" Yun Mo asked.
Xia Mu looked outside the courtyard and pulled them into the house, "Let's go, let's go in." ”
Xia Mu drank a bowl of tea, sobered up and sobered up, and then he told the story.
He entered Haina Village three months ago as a boat runner, but he found that it was supposed to be the fishing season, but none of the fishermen in Haina Village who relied on the sea to eat the sea went out to fish, but they all nested at home and kept weaving nets. And Xia Mu encountered the same situation as them, no matter what he said, no one paid attention to him.
"So you don't know why that's happening. Di Chen squinted at Xia Mu, how could this person look so unreliable!
Xia Mu put the tea bowl on the table and raised his chin, "If Lao Tzu doesn't have something, how can he have a bad relationship with our family's Xiaoling Feng!
There must be a brave man under the heavy reward, Xia Mu took two thousand taels of silver tickets, and sure enough, a family received him, and the family took his money and flew away, leaving the house to Xia Mu, and Xia Mu stayed here, waiting for Murong Lingfeng and them.
"Before he left, the man told me all the secrets of Haina Village. Xia Mu said.
Haina Village is the mouth of the North Sea, where fishermen have lived many years ago. There are countless treasures in the North Sea, so the people of Haina Village are all brilliant in their homes, and the gold in the underground vault can be piled up as high as a mountain. Human nature is greedy, and they are so rich but still not satisfied. I don't know where the news came out that there was a mermaid in the sea, and the legend of the mermaid is so beautiful and fascinating no matter where it is. When the people of Haina heard the story of the mermaid, they planned to go to the deepest part of the North Sea and bring the beauty of the water to land.
And the bad luck of Haina Village also began with this insatiable trip to the sea.
The big ship went for more than a month, but nothing was gained. People began to be depressed, and many people planned to abandon this voyage, and no matter how beautiful the mermaid was, it could not compare to the longing of people who had traveled in the sea for a long time.
In fact, they did give up, but by that time, their actions had already offended the wrath of God. At first they thought they were just lost, and it was normal for them to lose their way in the endless sea. But gradually they realized that something was wrong, it was not as simple as losing their way, they were trapped in an area and could not get out.
People began to get restless, and some people couldn't even stand the fear of the unknown and wanted to jump into the sea to end their lives.
At that moment, a huge sea dragon emerged from the sea and flew into the air, and the big dragon head reached out to the boat, and the sea dragon asked them if he had not given them enough, and why did they bother with their lives?
The people were so frightened that they couldn't speak, and in the end they could only watch as the sea dragon destroyed the big ship and everyone died in the sea.
The people who remained on the shore did not know what had happened to them, and they still fished in the shallow sea every day, but since then the people of Haina Village have not been able to catch anything. Some people do not believe in evil and want to go farther away, but the bodies of those who encountered Hainan floated on the sea.
The people in the village were terrified, and no one knew what was happening, but everyone was terrified, for fear that something else would befall them.
However, nothing happened again after a long period of precipitation, and the villagers gradually put the matter down, and everything returned to normal. But half a year later, when everyone forgot about it, disaster struck again, and the North Sea suddenly churned open, and the waves rose dozens of meters high. Instantly engulfed the entire Haina Village. Their houses, and the gold they hid in the ground, were taken away by the sea.
These were originally from the North Sea, and now it has taken them all back.
"Every 10 years, the village of Haina will be flooded by the sea, and the houses they have built and the wealth they have accumulated over the past 10 years will linger, and nothing will be left. Xia Mu said as if telling a story, "Until one year, a master passed by and gave them an idea. Let them calculate the time, and in the year of the tsunami, they will start weaving the net from the beginning of the year, and the net will be woven as big as possible, and when the tsunami is approaching, they will cover the net in their house, and then everyone will stay in the house and not come out. In this way, the dragon king will mistake them for poor people caught in fishing nets, and will no longer embarrass them. However, there is one most important problem, that is, everyone must not say a word during the year, otherwise they will be discovered by the dragon king, and then this method will not work. ”
Xia Mu took out a plate of crystal cakes from the cabinet and stuffed one into Murong Lingfeng's mouth, "This year is the year of the tsunami, so the villagers will give up fishing and keep weaving fishing nets at home. Just to escape the punishment of the dragon king. ”
"When did this start?" Yun Mo asked.
Xia Mu thought for a while, "There must be a hundred years younger." ”
Long Ming snorted coldly, "Nonsense, we didn't see anything strange when we were fighting? I don't object to the dragon clan, but who has so much spare time to remember to punish them every day, and even remember it for a hundred years! Besides, the people of the dragon clan are not stupid, a small fishing net can fool them and joke!"
Di Chen also agreed with Long Ming's statement, "It's not true. If you talk about dragons, the general still raised one back then! What about being smart! One of them can withstand thousands of troops and horses, but it can't stay on land for a long time, otherwise it would be necessary to entangle with Shao Si and them for so long?"
Long Ming nodded, indicating that he had also seen that dragon, and it was indeed quite powerful.
This is the first time Murong Lingfeng has heard this, "Lisheng has also raised a dragon, why haven't I seen it?"
Di Chen waved his hand, "That was thousands of years ago, before the Battle of Wuling, the general left Xiaolong in a certain sea area, as if he was asked to guard something." ”
Now that I think about it, if I had brought the sea dragon at that time, I am afraid it would have been a different victory. What is it that is so important that Lisheng must protect it even if he takes his life?
"Actually, many times we feel that Xiaolong is different from those dragons, it seems to be from the same place as Lisheng, Lisheng has never told us where he came from, but we know that his hometown is much more noble than this Zhantian Continent. "Maybe it's really as he told Murong Lingfeng, he is a general from the divine realm, but he accidentally broke into the people but was trapped in this barren continent and couldn't go back.
Murong Lingfeng frowned, "Do you know which sea Lisheng put the dragon in?"
Di Chen shook his head, "It should not be far from the Sumy River, we were marching to the Sumy River, and one night the general and Xiaolong suddenly disappeared, and it wasn't until early in the morning that the general came back alone." "How far can you go in one night? It seems that the chances of Li Sheng leaving the dragon in the North Sea are very small.
Xia Mu tugged at Murong Lingfeng's sleeve, "Are they talking about the old man who is disrespectful?"
Yun Mo interrupted their pointless argument, "Okay, let's talk about these things later." He glanced at Xia Mu, "Can you get a boat?"
"It's been ready for a long time!" Xia Mu led them to the place where he hid the boat, which was far away from the dock and was very hidden and not easy to be discovered.
Xia Mu pointed to the big ship and proudly invited credit, "How about it?" ”
Murong Lingfeng couldn't help but pout when he looked at the boat that was as red as a turkey, and coquettishly lay in Yun Mo's arms, "Can I not go to this boat?" (To be continued.) )
