"It looks a bit like ...... But I've only heard a little bit of legend. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info "Tang Sanzang put the ancient books aside, and he didn't know what expression to use for a while.

If Sha Wujing really looked like this, Tang Sanzang felt that he would not accept such an apprentice if he was killed, this appearance was too infiltrating, as a face control...... No, in order to reduce the sense of existence of the scripture-learning team, the selection of each member cannot be ambiguous.

At that moment, Tang Sanzang had already decided to exclude this monster from the scripture-learning team, isn't there Luo Xi now, the four apprentices have already been gathered.

Yes, that's right.

Wang Kuan nodded, thought for a while and said: "Although the monsters in the quicksand river are ferocious, there are also some interesting legends, I heard the old captain say when I was young on the boat, there is a mermaid in the quicksand river, and on the night of the full moon, the fishermen on the river may hear her singing." ”

"Mermaid?" Tang Sanzang's eyelids jumped, he didn't expect that there was a legend of this strange species in the quicksand river, "Could it be that the fishermen who listened to the mermaid's song were all eaten?"

"Why, mermaids are not monsters, the old captain said, as long as there is a night when the mermaid sings, then you can have a good night's sleep, and there will definitely be no monsters that night. Wang Kuan smiled and shook his head, his old face showed a hint of yearning, "It's a pity that the mermaid's song is not heard by everyone, I have been wandering in the quicksand river for decades, and I have never heard it." ”

"Then have you seen what a mermaid looks like?" Tang Sanzang asked with some curiosity.

"No, no one has ever seen a mermaid, but I have a painting here that has been handed down from the past, and the ancestor who drew it said that it was just his imagination, and it is not counted. Wang Kuan turned the page of the ancient book and handed it to Tang Sanzang again.

"The imagination of your ancestors...... It's really rich. Tang Sanzang looked at the picture with big wavy hair, plump upper circumference, only wearing a bikini, and a mermaid with a big red fishtail underneath, and sighed sincerely.

"Yes, if you want to say that my ancestor Wang Hai is also quite legendary, the Siren King just now is what he saw with his own eyes, I heard that he disappeared on the quicksand river for three years, and everyone thought he was dead.

I didn't expect to come back later, I didn't say anything at all, and I brought a few big pearls back, and I went to the city to sell them, and when I came back in exchange for silver, I immediately built more than a dozen large courtyards, and I also took several wives, and my courtyard was left by him back then. Wang Kuan smiled, "Back then, they all said that he was lucky and was found by a mermaid to be a man for three years." ”

"Master, the old men are here. A housekeeper trotted in and said.

"Let them in. Wang Kuan nodded, looked at Tang Sanzang again and said: "Crossing the river is a big deal, my Wangjia Town has not carried people across the river for decades, so everyone has to discuss before deciding." After chatting casually, the tone was also a lot kinder.

"Well, I understand. Tang Sanzang nodded, these people are just mortals, they have no life or death for the monsters, and they can't be too cautious to trade their lives.

Seven or eight old men walked into the living room, their faces were all black and red, most of them were good at fishing when they were young, and they sat down on the chair under Wang Kuan's beckoning, and looked at Tang Sanzang first.

Tang Sanzang also looked at these so-called elders, who were mostly wearing linen short coats, and there was an unsheathed short knife hanging from their waists, just dangling so casually, he couldn't help but worry a little about whether he would accidentally cut the thing under his crotch.

"The Great Wizard hasn't arrived yet, so wait. Wang Kuan said in a deep voice, and everyone nodded, all of them had no opinion, and whispered.

Zhu Tianpeng also swayed back to the living room, sat down beside Tang Sanzang, and whispered in Tang Sanzang's ear: "Master, why don't we make a boat ourselves, as long as there are drawings, I will make you a big ship in one night, and you don't have to look at the faces of these little old men." ”

"It's okay, let's hear what they mean first, anyway, we have a lot of gold on us, and it's useless to keep it. Tang Sanzang shook his head slightly, money and things go fast, and they come quickly, anyway, there is never a shortage of landlords in this world who like to do bad things, it's a big deal to grab it if you don't have money...... To emphasize, it is to rob the rich and help the poor.

"The Great Wizard is here. The previous Ding walked in briskly and said.

Wang Kuan and the old men in the room hurriedly stood up and walked out quickly, their faces full of reverence.

Tang Sanzang and Zhu Tianpeng sat on the chairs and didn't move, turning their heads to look.

A hunchbacked old man in a black and red robe, with all kinds of silverware hanging on his body, and a cane made of truncatum in his hand, was helped by a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy in a green shirt to walk through the door.

The hunchbacked old man was much whiter than the old man in the house, but the wrinkles on his face were wrinkled together like old bark, and the back of his dry and clawed hands was covered with age spots, and he walked a little tremblingly.

But as soon as he entered the door, he raised his eyes to look at Tang Sanzang, a pair of inky black and deep eyes were as sharp as a goshawk, as if he could see through everything.

Tang Sanzang picked up the tea bowl and took a sip without hesitation, just such an old man who knows a little witchcraft can bluff him, then he has seen so many officials of the Tang Dynasty in vain, those high-ranking court officials, which one is not a human spirit, not to mention far away, just his nominal grandfather and father are human essences among human spirits.

"Great Wizard. "The Great Wizard ......"

The old men greeted respectfully, hung their heads, and looked a little reserved.

"Sit down. The hunchbacked old man, known as the Great Wizard, withdrew his gaze with some surprise, and was helped by the young man to sit down on the main seat, raised his hand, and said in a hoarse voice.

The young man stood aside, also wearing a red and black robe, but he didn't have silverware on his body, and he looked quite delicate, looking at Tang Sanzang and Zhu Tianpeng with some curiosity.

The old men sat down again, and Wang Kuan told Tang Sanzang's master and apprentice in detail about wanting to cross the river, and the price was negotiable, and then he waited for the great wizard to speak.

said that it was a discussion, but in fact, it was more like inviting the great wizard to make a decision, but the rest of the old men also looked like they were taken for granted, and Tang Sanzang naturally didn't say much.

"Little Master, this river crossing is a trade in life, eight hundred miles of quicksand river, there are countless monsters, most of them will not come back, how much gold are you going to take to buy it?" The Great Wizard's hand was gently rubbing his shiny crutches, staring at Tang Sanzang's eyes and asking.

"Fifty taels. Tang Sanzang didn't talk nonsense, and untied the small package beside him and put it on the table, which contained five ingots and ten taels of gold.

The shining golden light made the eyes of everyone in the room light up, and their breath became heavy when they looked at the gold on the package.

Fifty taels of gold is not a small amount, enough to buy half of Wangjia Town, but I didn't expect Tang Sanzang to take it out casually.

"Not enough. The Great Wizard glanced at the gold, quickly looked away, looked at Tang Sanzang and shook his head slightly.

"How much do you want?" Tang Sanzang asked with a smile, and the lion's big mouth was also expected by him.

"This number. The archwizard's hand on the cane stretched out a finger.
