Chapter 10: The Massacre of Poseidon Niangniang Island (10)
Yu Hui hurriedly took out something similar to a purse from the placket of his clothes, and only then escaped the tragic ending of being "scaled": "The hero spared me, look at this, this is a treasure I got by chance, and I don't get wet when I wear it on my body." Probably because I really don't know how to be watery, God looked at it pitifully and rewarded me. I'm not a fish to become, no scales. ”
"What kind of purse is so magical?" Xiao Xiao took the purse curiously and looked at it, only to see that the purse had fine stitches and two pale pink flowers embroidered on it.
Lady Bailing whispered in the imperial official's ear: "It turned out to be a gift from his confidant. ”
The royal officer asked, "How can you see it?"
"You see, his purse is embroidered with Tilian. ”
The Imperial Officer nodded.
Xiao Xiao wanted to open the purse and take a look, but the needle and thread locked the edge, and opening it meant destroying the purse, Qi Bei stopped him: "Other people's things, don't tear them." ”
"Is there any spell in it?"
Yu Hui honestly admitted: "I don't know what's in there. When I gave it to me, I had this miraculous force, it was really very effective, and when I wore it on my body, no matter how shallow and deep the bottom of the sea was, the water would not stick to my clothes, and I could breathe. My boat has capsized many times, and if it weren't for this purse, I would have drowned eight hundred and sixty times. ”
The royal officer looked at the purse thoughtfully, and had some calculations.
"Hero," Yu Hui begged Xiao Sha, "give me back your purse." After all, it was a gift from others, and it was not easy to dismantle it. If you don't believe me, take it and try it. ”
Qi Bei's feet were no longer in the rising water: "Let's not waste time." ”
Xiao Xiao had to return the purse to Hui first. After some confirmation, it is almost certain that Yu Hui is not changed by the sea monster. Then, Xiao Xiao wanted to drive him away: "Then you should leave quickly and find your boat." Hai Niangniang Island is also not safe. If there is one more of you, I will have to protect one more, which is very troublesome. ”
Everyone could see that Yu Hui had no intention of leaving: "I won't trouble you." ”
"Then we don't care about you, you are responsible for your own safety. Let's go, Qibei, let's go to the temple and have a look. ”
The royal officer was worried that his wife would not be able to withstand the fatigue of the journey, and asked her, "Do you want to go with you, or do you want to rest here?"
"It's safer to follow the Golden Crow Divine Envoy," said Lady Bailing, "Don't you also want to see the Seagod Niangniang?"
He was silent for a moment, then whispered in his wife's ear, "Good. Then don't be afraid. ”
Mrs. Bailing felt strange in her heart, and her husband seemed to know something but refused to say it. She decided to respond to whatever might come with a submissive attitude, whispering, firm, but gentle, "I'll go with you." ”
Stretching his limbs and gradually regaining some strength, Yu Hui stood up and followed: "I'll go too." ”
"You? Xiao Xiao waved his hand to stop.
"Why not?"
"Have you seen these monsters? Aren't you afraid to take two steps forward and let the sea monster drag it into the sea and eat it?"
Yu Hui whispered: "The sea dragon dragged me into the sea and didn't eat me yet......"
The imperial officer's eyes lit up: "Sea Dragon?"
Yu Hui closed his eyes and laughed: "That, the pirates call the black tidal current near here 'Sea Dragon', you know, just that kind of black current, it looks like a dragon, no, it's not so much a dragon, it's actually more like a snake." Yes, sea serpents. The black current looked smooth on the surface, but the actual boat was very dangerous, and it was easy for me to capsize as soon as I broke the boat. ”
Xiao Xiao looked at the nonsense of this strange intruder named Yu Hui, and the more he looked at it, the more unpleasant it became: "You just said that the boat blew over by the sea, and now you say that the water is overturned." What a broken boat you are, why do you always capsize. ”
Yu Hui was embarrassed and said: "When my father drove me to the sea, he gave me a small boat that couldn't run fast, which was unstable and easy to capsize. I had to get on good terms with the pirates, asking them where there were a lot of fish and a steady current, but sometimes I drifted down the river to the wrong place, and I was unlucky and turned over a few times, but fortunately, they all survived. ”
He then lamented to himself: "That broken ship is very light, and if it weren't for some book ballast, it would be easier to turn over on weekdays." Alas, what can I do, my ship may have really sunk this time, and all the books my father left me have sunk into the sea. ”
The Imperial Officer, who didn't get the answer he wanted, was a little disappointed.
Lady Bailing didn't want to stay on the dangerous island for a while: "Golden Crow Divine Envoy, let's hurry up and ask the Hai Niangniang Temple to find out, and then go back to Fenglin City." ”
Yu Hui immediately grabbed Qi Bei's wrist: "What did she call you?"
Xiao Sha solemnly introduced: "This is the young master of my family, and he is the divine envoy sent by the East China Sea Golden Crow God to Fenglin City." ”
A look of shock flashed in Yu Hui's eyes. He arched his hand and said with a smile: "It is really an honor to meet the famous Golden Crow Divine Envoy. Can the divine envoy return to the city in a moment? Can you take me back with you? My ship has been overturned in the sea and cannot be found, and now I have permission to go ashore, but I can't go back......
"Stop, stop, don't get an inch," Xiao Xiao shouted to stop, "Let's hurry up and go to the Hai Niang Niang Temple to see the situation." ”
So, the five of them walked quickly to the door of the Hai Niang Niang Temple on the waves that were about to cross the stone bridge cableway.
"There is no blubber wax lighting in the temple, and there is no popularity, but the yin qi is so heavy. Xiao Xiao made a "shhhh
"It's definitely a sea monster siege. Hai Niangniang won't really ......" Qi Bei watched Yu Hui pull a dead sea monster from the wooden door and throw it beside him, and his heart rose to his throat.
"No, I don't think it's likely. Xiao Crush gritted his teeth, the closer he got to the gloomy and cold temple, the more he didn't believe his words, "Hai Niangniang is amazing, the monsters of the entire East China Sea are safe and stable under her suppression, who dares to touch her territory?"
"Huh?" Yu Hui carried the limp body of the dead sea monster and let out a question mark.
"What's wrong?"
"It's a little weird. He borrowed a torch to illuminate it, and looked closely at the dead octopus, "not split in half, and not wounded by a sword." ”
"What do you mean?"
"It is said in the book that one of the weapons used by Hai Niangniang is called 'Reef Sword', and if the monster is killed by her, at least there should be traces of the blade on the body. But along the way, it seems that the bodies of these dead monsters are intact, and it is not like they were stabbed or hacked to death by a sword. And what I have in my hand is an ordinary octopus, but it's bigger. According to another book, most of the monsters in the sea are ordinary creatures that have been sealed with the power of seals, and after these creatures lose their mana, they are no different from ordinary fish and shrimp. From this analysis, could it be that they died because they lost their mana?"
Xiao Sha asked vigilantly: "How do you know about the 'Sea Reef Sword'? Where did you hear about the sealing power of the sea monster? Hurry up and recruit from the truth, who are you? Why do you know so much?"
