The guy on the boat was a little unhappy, and shouted at the woman: "Take care of the children at home, and sailing is not ...... than walking."

"That's it, this kid is running around, and the boat is shaking, which is weird and scary."

"Take the boat and sit honestly......"

Several of the boatmen followed.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

The woman apologized repeatedly, and then counted a few words at the child, telling him to be honest and not to run away again.

The little boy pouted in response.

After a while, as if he wanted to coax his mother to be happy, he stretched out his hand and shook his mother's arm and said, "Mother, can I recite poems to you?" ”

"Hmm!"

The woman immediately smiled and patted her son's head lovingly as a sign of encouragement.

So, the little boy immediately shook his head and memorized two poems, which were also decent.

"That's good!"

The woman looked relieved, unwrapped the package, took out a few dried dates, and handed them to her son.

"Thank you, mother!"

The little boy happily took the dried dates, and then quite sensibly pinched a piece and handed it to his mother's mouth: "Mother, you eat first." ”

"You eat~"

The woman took the date and stuffed it into her son's mouth.

A woman sitting on the side seemed to be a little envious: "Big sister, your child is really sensible, how old is he?" ”

Without waiting for the woman to answer, the little boy replied, "I'm six years old!" ”

"Yo, pretty clever...... Who taught you the poems you memorized? ”

"It was taught by my father, and my father is a talent who can memorize a lot of poems."

"And how much can you carry?" The woman asked with a smile.

"I can memorize a lot of ......"

The little boy replied proudly.

"Oh? Can you memorize a few more songs? ”

"Okay~"

The little boy replied happily, then sat up straight, shook his head, and groaned:

"The moon is falling and the sky is full of frost, and Jiang Feng is sleeping.

Hanshan Temple outside the city of Gusu, the bell rings in the middle of the night to the passenger ship. ”

"Huh?"

As soon as he heard this poem, Gu Ming couldn't help frowning.

Isn't this a poem he wrote at Hanshan Temple? So fast that even a child can carry it?

"Kid, who taught you this poem?"

Curious, Gu Ming couldn't help but ask.

"My dad taught me!"

"I know ...... this poem," a scholar on the ship took over: "I heard that it was written when Qin Ci Xie Yuan traveled to Hanshan Temple today, and it has been spread in Gusu Mansion." ”

"What is Xie Yuan?"

An honest man asked suspiciously.

The scholar was a little speechless and said, "Uncle, do you know how to lift people?" ”

"This naturally knows, there is a man in our township, but he is majestic."

"Then listen well, Xie Yuan, the person who won the first place in the exam, is called Xie Yuan."

The man couldn't help but suddenly realize: "Isn't that the champion?" ”

Scholar: "...... Okay uncle, that's pretty much what it means. ”

The atmosphere on the ship suddenly became lively, and obviously, many people on the ship had also heard of Gu Jieyuan's various legends.

"I heard that this Gu Xie Yuan is terrible, and he also used spells to fight with people when he was visiting the West Lake."

"How did I hear that he used to be a ...... singer"

"It's just nonsense, how can it be a drama? It was a play made up by someone else based on the book he wrote. ”

"That's ...... so"

Hearing the discussion of the crowd on the boat, Gu Ming was speechless.

This is passed around and around, why did he become a singer?

After continuing on for a while, the ferry slowly stopped.

The boatman steadied the ferry, walked to the bow with the two men on board, lit incense and candles, and muttered to himself with a reverent face.

"Mother, what are they doing?"

The little boy asked, confused.

"Don't ask!"

The woman doesn't seem to want to answer this question.

The aunt sitting next to her was also enthusiastic, and smiled at the little boy: "They are worshipping the river god and praying for the safety of the boat." ”

"Oh~"

The little boy nodded.

Over there, after the boatman finished worshipping, he turned around and said solemnly at the group of boatmen: "Not far ahead is the Tiger Leaping Gorge, which is also the territory of the river god.

At that time, the boat will inevitably sway a little, and the big guys must sit firmly and hold on, and don't talk nonsense.

If you accidentally say the wrong thing and offend the river god, everyone will not have any good fruit to eat. ”

"Understood, understood!"

Several local people responded.

People who have been boating for many years are very disciplined, for fear of angering the river god and causing disaster.

Including the people on the ship, it is taboo to say unlucky words such as "overturned", "overturned" and "sunk" on the ship.

After some explanations, the ferry continued sailing.

Soon after, they entered the Tiger Leap Gorge.

It was a river valley about two miles long. Because of the sudden narrowing of the river channel and the fact that several tributaries join the mountain, the water here is deeper and the river is more rapid.

When the boat came here, both large and small boats were a little bumpy.

Importantly, there are several shipwrecks and fatalities here every year, which is a lot of talk about.

However, you can't give up eating because of choking.

Walking on the road, you may also be hit by a horse-drawn carriage, or encounter robbers or even ghosts, so that no one walks on the main road?

It's just that everyone was extra careful when the boat came here.

As soon as the ferry entered Tiger Leap Gorge, all the passengers quieted down to avoid accidentally saying the wrong thing.

The ferry rises and falls along the waves, and when the waves are large, they will bump from side to side.

People who often take boats are fine, but some people who rarely take boats are a little uncomfortable, and they are all pale and sweating.

The little boy sitting opposite Gu Ming was obviously seasick, and after holding on for a while, he finally couldn't hold on, and spit out a boat board with a "wow", which immediately provoked the people around to cover their noses.

That's fine, after all, this is often the case.

The problem is that after vomiting, the little boy saw that the boat was jolting a little, and he couldn't help grabbing his mother's hand in fright, and asked with a crying voice: "Mother, will the ship sink?" I'm so scared ......."

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge wave rushed in without warning, causing the ferry to rise sharply and fall heavily.

For a moment, there was a scream on the boat, and two of the passengers were almost thrown into the water.

The burden placed by one of the middle-aged men on the stern of the boat was not spared and fell into the rushing water.

Before everyone could stabilize their minds, the waves came one after another, causing the ferry to completely lose control, rising and falling like a fallen leaf, and there was a danger of subversion at any time.

The boatman threw the pole in fright, knelt on the board and muttered prayers.

The middle-aged man was frightened, and his heart hurt that his burden had fallen into the water, and he immediately directed his anger at the little boy.

"It's this little bastard who talks nonsense and angers the river god!"

As soon as he instigated this, others also accused.

There was even a person who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic and shouted: "Throw him down and feed him to the river god, so that everyone will not be burdened." ”

As soon as she heard this, the woman was so frightened that she hugged her son and knelt down, crying: "Please don't hurt my son, he is still young, but he said something unintentionally." ”

"It's light, just a small sentence? Then you have to ask the river god if he agrees. ”

"It's just that you can't get a boatload of people for him alone."

At the moment of life and death, a group of people seemed to have lost their minds and pointed the finger at the mother and son.

The little boy was so frightened that he hugged his mother tightly and kept calling.

"Mother...... Mother...... Don't throw me down the river, don't throw me down the river......"

Seeing that the waves were getting bigger and bigger, the middle-aged man gritted his teeth and viciously rushed to the woman to forcibly pull the little boy.

"Mother...... Mother......"

"Please spare my son......"

The woman hugged her son tightly, crying bitterly and begging the other.

"Stop!"

At the critical moment, Gu Ming stepped forward in time to push the middle-aged man away.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

The middle-aged man glared at Gu Ming fiercely and asked.

"He's just a kid of a few years old, and you want to throw him into the river to feed the river god just because he said the wrong thing in fear?

Where is the conscience? Where is the king's law? ”

The middle-aged man was stunned, then became angry, and said loudly: "You nerd, the ship is about to sink, but you are here to tell everyone about the king's law?" ”

Hearing this, Gu Ming couldn't help but be happy.

"What did you just say? The ship is about to sink? Is it time to throw you into the river too? ”

"You...... You are talking nonsense......"

The middle-aged man's face changed in shock, how could he dare to admit it?

Gu Ming lazily ignored it, looked sideways at the others and said, "If there is really a river god here, then he should be protecting the safety of the people."

If the ship is going to be destroyed because he said the wrong thing, is this the work of the gods? It's clearly a demonic act! ”

These words were like a shock, and most of the passengers in the boat immediately knelt down and knelt down at the river...... For them, this is a complete disrespect to the river god!

"It's over, it's over!"

The boatman's face was as dead as ashes, and he muttered to himself in despair.

"Boom!"

Sure enough, at this moment, a huge wave several feet high rose into the sky, like a small mountain peak, and pressed towards the ferry.

If this is compacted, the ferry will definitely fall apart.

Everyone is already desperate, there is no longer a trace of luck, and no one is to blame anyone, one by one they close their eyes and wait to be drowned by the huge waves.

But no one thought that Gu Ming walked to the bow of the boat without hurrying, raised his hand and stroked lightly: "Points!" ”

An understatement caused the waves to part, passing over the sides of the ferry like two fish.

What's the situation?

Everyone on board was dumbfounded.

I thought I was going to die, but I didn't expect that a man who looked like a scholar drank the word "points" and saved the lives of the whole boat?

But that's not what shocked them the most.

Next, Gu Ming's actions greatly surprised everyone's expectations.

"Bold and demonic, don't show up quickly!"

With a clear drink, Gu Ming jumped lightly, stepped on the waves, and was more than ten zhang away in the blink of an eye.

"Tong!"

The man from before was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and fell heavily to his knees on the board.

Who the hell did he provoke?

"Wow, fairy!"

After all, the little boy was young, and he suddenly forgot his previous fear, and couldn't help but let out an exclamation at Gu Ming's figure.

Just as the crowd was in shock, a huge wave was set off on the surface of the river again...... However, this time the distance is far, and the impact on the ferry is not very large.

As the waves rolled, a huge river mussel slowly surfaced.

"Oh my God......"

The people on the boat couldn't help but gasp.

Because they had never seen such a huge mussel, almost a mile long.

The most frightening thing is that between the opening and closing of the shell of the river mussel, you can faintly see that there is an extremely ugly disgusting thing on top of the mussel meat, similar to a human head......

This is the river god who has always been feared?

It's clearly a mussel spirit!

"Who is the junior, dare to provoke this god here?"

I didn't expect this mussel to be able to speak human words......

It's just that its voice sounds creepy, androgynous, and the tone is also very weird, just like the "big tongue" that the people say, and some words are indistinct.

The funniest thing is that the sense of superiority is bursting, and he dares to call himself a god?

It seems that he really thinks of himself as a river god.

"This god?" Gu Ming smiled mockingly: "It's better to call it the plague god." ”

God was originally very spirited, but with the addition of the word "plague", the meaning completely changed.

The mussel spirit was furious and opened his mouth to spit out......

"Purr ......"

A string of bubbles burst into the air.

In mid-air, wisps of faint green smoke filled the air, and it was obvious that these bubbles contained highly poisonous.

"Good is like water."

Gu Ming drank lightly, and at the same time waved the brush and lightly stroked in a circle.

Compared to the last time he fought against the crayfish monster in Yuantong Town, this time his strength has at least increased several times, and he is even more handy at controlling water.

"Boom~"

A wave of water surged up in front of him and formed a semicircular shield in front of him.

Seeing this, the mussel spirit couldn't help but sneer: "I dare to play in the water in front of this god, and kill myself!" ”

"Bold and demonic, he actually pretended to be a river god, a mighty dragon!"

"Boom~"

Another wave of water surged.

The mussel spirit was beaming with pride, and he was swept into the air by the waves of water that were gushing out of him.

"Damn, dare to sneak attack this god!" The mussel spirit is in a hurry.

At the same time, the bubbles it had spit out before also hit the water shield, causing a dense sound, and then disappeared without a trace.

Gu Ming stepped on the waves, approached a few steps, and began to exert his wonderful pen and export chapters with all his might.

"Those who know are happy with water, and those who are benevolent are happy with mountains."

"Swallow and fill the river, and the world is clear."

Every word chanted was condensed into a solid form, surrounding the clam essence, like a net from heaven to earth.

It wasn't until this time that the mussel spirit felt that something was wrong.

It has been cultivating for hundreds of years, and it has experienced a lot of battles large and small.

The opponents have Tao, Buddha, Jianghu warlocks, and demons...... However, it really hasn't seen a way like Gu Ming.

It was originally a demon in the water, so it was naturally good at resisting water, and it could also be said that it was almost immune to water attribute attacks.

I didn't think about it before I felt that the water it was familiar with had hit it so painfully.

I've been pretending to be a river god for a long time, and this guy really thinks of himself as a god sometimes.

Several consecutive attacks were easily defused by Gu Ming, and he suddenly felt a big loss of face and anger.

After all, the local people worship it as the god of the river, not only to worship it devoutly, but sometimes to sacrifice three animals.

Now that he has been exposed by Gu Ming in front of all the people, he calls it a demon, how can he mix it up as a river god in the future?

That being the case, it's good to extinguish the mouth!

So, the mussel spirit suddenly came to life and destroyed the ferry first!
