Chapter 12: The Swift Girl
A corpse wearing sackcloth, whose body muscles were swollen and swollen, and whose skin was extremely pale, was slowly floating in front of Luo Xing. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Who is it...... Could it be that another fish demon has attacked a human fishing boat in the vicinity? Luo Chen's face was a little cold, but when he examined the corpse, he was stunned to find that this person was not injured to death, he was drowned!
"Why is a fisherman drowned? Don't...... Have there been a storm at sea around here lately? Did this man be swept to the bottom of the sea and drowned? ”
Luo Chen muttered to himself with some doubts, and after he looked at the calm sea, he sighed a little helplessly.
"Since it's a natural death, there's nothing I can do about it! As a human, I'll help you save yourself from being devoured! ”
As he spoke, Luo Chen dragged the corpse to the bottom of the sea, and then quickly dug a sea pit and buried the man deep in it.
After burying this person, Luo Chen also took off the linen clothes on his body and put the coarse linen clothes on his body, so that Luo Chen could settle down: finally he didn't have to run naked.
"Huh? You little guy didn't leave......" When Luo Chen turned his head and saw a certain piece of distorted seawater, he sighed in surprise.
The sea caterpillar gradually emerged, and this guy actually chased Luo Chen all the way to the edge of the coast.
"Hmph, after saying that we will work together to eat fragrant and drink spicy food, how can we break our word casually? Oh, this is the scroll that the old turtle left for you, you lost it and I picked it up for you, thank me quickly! ”
This mutant sea caterpillar really accepted Luo Chen, it climbed directly onto Luo Chen's body, lazily coiled on his arm, and opened his mouth triumphantly.
Luo Chen took the scroll, and after seeing the word "Shui Dun" on the surface of the scroll, the gloomy mood that was a little gloomy because of seeing the person who drowned and died tragically became completely clear.
"Ouch, thank you! If I hadn't brought this scroll back, it would have taken me a little more time to learn how to escape! ”
Luo Chen stuffed the scroll into his arms, and then floated to the surface again, no matter what, he would find a way to get to the city first.
He stuck his head out of the sea and determined the direction of the shore, and then hesitated, whether he should swim over or swim over.
It's at least two or three miles away from the shore, and if you swim over it so directly, will it scare people if you are seen by ordinary people?
Just when Luo Chen was distressed, the sea caterpillar on his arm screamed softly, and Luo Chen turned his head when he was reminded by it, and saw a big ship behind him.
The big boat was slowly sailing towards the shore, obviously the returning ship, Luo Chen's eyes lit up: Hey, it's really the rhythm of someone sending pillows when you're sleepy?
"Hi...... The boatman over there, please help me! My fishing boat was capsized...... Give me a ride! ”
……
The official ship in the distance is full of people at the moment, including busy boatmen, workers carrying goods, and Taoist priests who worship gods and ghosts.
They made this trip precisely on the order of Jianyecheng County, and came to this sea to do so, in order to calm the sea storms that have been rolling up in the East Bay recently.
Jianye City is a small city, the whole city depends on fishing for a living, recently the sea storms, fishermen drowned one after another, which makes the whole city panic, fishing income is falling to a new low one after another.
According to the Taoist priest who did this, it was a ghost who had died unjustly in the coastal sea, so they could only sacrifice to the gods in order to suppress the sea ghosts.
While the ceremony was being prepared, the ship's handymen were busy with the presence, and a lively girl in a tight-fitting silk Tang costume with a concave figure that highlighted her figure, with luxurious jewels on her wrists and forehead, long flaxen hair, and a large cupola tail tied diagonally behind her head, was lying on the railing.
She has an extraordinary bearing, bright eyes, and her name is Feiyan Nu, who is the daughter of the county commander of Jianyecheng, and this time she went to sea with the official ship, purely for fun.
The people on the boat were busy, and the Swift Girl was bored standing on the deck looking around, looking at the endless blue sea and sky, just when the Swift Girl was a little aesthetically tired, she suddenly saw a small black dot floating on the sea in the distance.
Faintly, a call for rescue was coming intermittently with the wind: "Boatman...... Please help me...... Give me a ride! ”
"Huh? Someone overboard? The Flying Swallow Girl looked into the distance, and when she was sure that there was indeed a person floating on the sea in the distance, she instantly regained her vitality.
She rushed to the captain of the official ship in a hurry, and called out anxiously: "Uncle Captain, someone has fallen overboard!" Shall we turn around and save him? ”
The captain of the official ship was a strong man dressed in the costume of a servant, and his brows furrowed after he saw Luo Xing floating on the water with the direction of the Feiyan Girl.
"That's a long way off...... If we turn around in his direction, we probably won't be able to get back to the coast on time, and if we delay the ceremony......"
The captain was a little hesitant, although he was the captain but he did not have the absolute right to decide the direction of the ship, just when he was a little hesitant, a thin middle-aged man wearing a Taoist robe, holding a white whisk in his hand, with a goatee, looked like a fairy wind and bones.
"Dao Chief......" The captain's eyes lit up slightly, and after raising his hand to signal the somewhat anxious Feiyan Girl to be quiet, he respectfully conveyed the matter to the Dao Chief.
After listening to the whole story and seeing Luo Chen struggling on the sea, the chief expressed his opinion indifferently: "The task of our trip is to salvage the dead and carry the drowned back to their hometowns. If you deliberately save a living person, it will inevitably affect the effect of the rhamma! ”
"Throw a rope down, if he can follow the rope, it will be his creation! If we can't, there's nothing we can do......"
This Taoist priest's name is Niu Daring, he is a god stick, but this person also made a name for himself, this guy has the title of 'half immortal' in Jianye City, and this memorial service that affects the eyes of the entire Jianye City is proposed and responsible for by him.
His so-called statement that 'carrying the dead back to their hometowns and saving the living will affect the effect of the ritual' is actually just his lazy and unwilling to make extraneous branches, but none of the feudal superstitious people on the boat dare to oppose it......
The captain respectfully obeyed the order of the divine stick, and threw a rope into the water, in the direction where Luo Chen was.
Feiyan Nu stood aside and watched, with helplessness and anger in her beautiful big eyes, she is a person who practices martial arts, she has a bold temperament, and she has always believed in chivalry and righteousness, and the words and deeds of this god stick Taoist priest are completely contrary to her.
But for the sake of the stability of Jianye City, in order to really quell the ghost rebellion, she can't say anything even as the daughter of the county magistrate, after all, she can't catch ghosts, but ghosts may really exist......
