Hearing the white-bearded old boatman say the words "Sea Dragon King", Zhao Ting's brows suddenly wrinkled.

He remembered what his younger brother Zhao Tai had mentioned to him, the fifth-level "unknown" who destroyed the Nanyue Kingdom, the Sea Dragon King "Naga"!

I wonder if the "Sea Dragon King" in the mouth of the white-bearded old boatman is this brutal Siren?

Although he thought about it, Zhao Ting didn't say anything, but quietly waited for the white-bearded old boatman's words.

The white-bearded old boatman first glanced at Zhao Ting and Zhao Si, then put his hands around his chest, crossed his forehead and armpits, and made a strange etiquette, and finally said slowly: "The Sea Dragon King is the god of the sea!"

"In our village, every family will invite a statue of the Sea Dragon King, and every time we go to sea, we must worship the Sea Dragon King, and ask its old man to bless us to return from the sea safely. ”

Seeing that his expression was very pious when he mentioned the "Sea Dragon King", Zhao Si couldn't help but ask: "Boat Lord, what does this "Sea Dragon King" look like?

Hearing that Zhao Si's tone was not respectful, the white-bearded old boatman suddenly straightened his face and warned him solemnly: "On the sea, if you don't respect the "Sea Dragon King", there will be disasters, at least you will get lost, and at worst you will lose your ship. ”

"Cut," Zhao Si snorted disdainfully with his nose, "I, Zhao Si, have always only believed that my order is up to me and my son-in-law, not by the sky, not by ghosts and gods." I look ......"

As he was talking, Zhao Ting interrupted him and scolded, "Shut up!"

"How did you teach you? Respect the freedom of belief of others. ”

was reprimanded by Zhao Ting, and Zhao Si suddenly lowered his head and stopped talking.

The white-bearded old boatman was not angry when he saw this, and turned his head to Zhao Ting and continued: "The old man has not seen the real body of the "Sea Dragon King" with his own eyes, but everyone who has seen it is rumored that the crocodile head snake body born by the "Sea Dragon King" is hundreds of zhang long from head to tail, as big as a mountain. As far as our sea ship is concerned, I'm afraid it can't withstand its old man's breath. ”

The old man is not the kind of person who blindly obeys the faith, but has really received the favor of the "Sea Dragon King", which is why he respects the old man. ”

Zhao Ting nodded, with a very interested look in his eyes, and motioned for him to continue.

"That was when the old man was young, well, I was just over the age of the crown. A look of nostalgia appeared on the white-bearded old boatman's face, "I haven't been in charge of the boat for a long time, and the young man is so angry that he always wants to go fishing in the deep sea and catch a big fish! I want to prove to my third uncle that I have the qualifications to take the helm, and I don't need him to watch over me on the boat at any time." ”

"I am said to be at the helm, but I can't even decide the course of the sea ship, who is at the helm? Besides, always going around in the near sea, not only can I not make up for any scarce sea goods, but also lose a little bit of the pleasure of conquering the sea. ”

Speaking of this, the old boatman sighed and said, "Alas, now that I think about it, my thoughts at that time were really extremely frivolous! Just like this "Demon Exterminator Master", I always thought that man would conquer the heavens, and I always felt that the elders were too cowardly, and they didn't even dare to go to the sea a little farther away. ”

In this way, with my anger at my third uncle, while he was drunk, I got out the ebony sea boat at the head of the family, and took a few young people from the same village who were not much different in age from me, and we set sail together while the adults were not prepared, and sailed the boat to the destination that had been planned long ago. ”

"The destination is an island in the depths of the sea, and it is rumored that someone in our village has found a giant bone kingfish near that isolated island! Therefore, when several of us set out, we were all in high spirits, and vowed to catch a giant bone kingfish, otherwise we would never go home. ”

"Later, as the ship gradually sailed into the deep sea, I realized that the idea of a few of us was really naïve. Not to mention catching the giant bone kingfish, we can't even figure out where the destination is. Although we set off with a route map, as soon as we entered the deep sea, the vast expanse was full of seawater, and it was impossible to tell where the south, south, and northwest were. ”

"To make matters worse, I was trying to rely on the sun in the sky to determine the direction of travel during the day, and at night I was trying to calculate the rise and fall of the sea and the flow of the sea by relying on the waxing and waning of the moon. Well, I took it for granted too. ”

"Because when we set out, the sky was still cloudless, and the sun was shining, and when we entered the deep sea, we encountered a storm without warning. The sky is as black as ink, and the sun is gone!"

"Without the sun, the storm on the sea was accompanied by black clouds overpowering the city, and even the rudder of the sea ship was useless, and it could not control the direction of the sea ship. Unable to identify the direction and control the direction of progress, the ship could only drift around with the wind and waves, drifting wherever it went, and the atmosphere in the cabin was very oppressive due to the apocalyptic storm outside the ship at that time. ”

"The hearts of several of us were like taking regret pills, especially me, after all, I stole the family's sea boat and took them to the deep sea, I was so guilty in my heart at that time, that feeling could not be expressed in words. ”

Just as a few of us were feeling despair, a red light suddenly lit up in the distance. A young man from the same village who was traveling with him was sharp-eyed, and he found the lamp as soon as possible and told us. Everyone cheered, thinking that they had encountered a passing ship. ”

"After all, if there are other ships, we can follow their ships and sail away from this dangerous sea. It was I who made the decision to let the rest of the ship light the lights, while I and another young man from the same village braved the wind and rain to the deck, holding two pieces of bright silk cloth, and shouting desperately in the direction of the red light. ”

It worked, and after a while, the red-lit "boat" seemed to notice us and slowly drifted in our direction. I stood on deck, crying with joy, thinking that we people were finally saved. ”

"However, after a while, I realized that something was wrong. Because of the red light, although it was approaching us, it obviously did not look like a ship when it was moving. One moment higher, the other lower, fluttering and shaky, completely unaffected by the storm at sea. ”

"This is so strange! While I was hesitating, the red light suddenly sped up, like an arrow off the string, and rushed directly towards our ship in the midst of this great storm whirlpool. ”

"The red light is getting closer, closer. It was only then that I could see clearly, what the hell was the light on the ship? It was clearly a red eye! A huge scarlet eye! The devil knows how big the owner of this eye was, and the small half of its head that protruded from the water alone was as big as a mansion, and most of its body was hidden under the surface of the sea, and it was impossible to see the reality and the void. ”

I groaned in my heart, and was about to shout a warning, when a purple-black tentacle a hundred feet long poked out of the sea and swept straight towards our ship. The purple-black tentacles were covered with huge sarcoma-like suckers, which looked disgusting and terrifying. This tentacle clings to our sea ship like a strong man grasping a toy of a young child, no, it is more terrible than this. With a slight tug, our ship tilted to the right, and it looked like it was about to capsize!"

"If the ship capsizes, we will probably be buried at the bottom of the sea forever. ”

"At this moment, this purple-black tentacle suddenly seemed to sense some danger, and decisively let go of our ship and retracted directly to the bottom of the sea. Then, the sea suddenly rolled up a huge whirlpool of white waves, and the scarlet eyes, looking at me deeply, finally dived to the bottom of the sea and disappeared. ”

"It is strange to say that such a terrible whirlpool did not sink with our ship and sink to the bottom of the sea. It was as if a strange force had fixed our ships in place, and our ships were immovable in the face of the storms and waves. ”

"When this terrible storm was over, the sun reappeared in the sky. Looking at the familiar sun, I breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed on the deck, my heart finally finding my way home. At this time, another young man from the same village on the deck also knelt down excitedly, kissed the deck frantically, and shouted in his mouth while kissing, thank the Sea Dragon King for his blessing, thank the Sea Dragon King for his blessing. ”

Looking at his nervous appearance, I was curious, and stood up and walked in his direction, and was about to ask a question, when out of the corner of my eye, I suddenly noticed a huge phantom under our ship, and this phantom was so big, well, how to describe it. Although it was fast, it still swam a cup of tea before it slowly disappeared from my eyes, never to be seen again. According to my calculations, the body of this phantom is at least a hundred zhang long. ”

"I was shocked in my heart, but the young man from the same village had already opened his mouth to explain my doubts, and he said, "The phantom shadow just now is none other than the Sea Dragon King! Because their family is a devout believer of the Sea Dragon King, the Sea Dragon King will appear to bless him and bless him on the sea. Only the Sea Dragon King can scare away the sea monster just now with just his breath, and let other people go, it is impossible to do this. ”

"The Sea Dragon King is the god of the sea!"

It was precisely because I had seen the miracle with my own eyes that I firmly believed in the "Sea Dragon King" old man. Haha, it's useless to talk too much, if you meet the "Sea Dragon King" in the future, you will believe what the old man said. ”
