Chapter 13 The Tanuki in a shipwreck
The tanuki ancestor was very sad, why didn't he dream when he got on the boat.
She didn't know that it was because Ying Qingcang was afraid that the boat would shake and the soul-attracting incense would be unstable, so it would be easy to dream a few lifetimes ago, and even be immersed in a dream forever and not wake up, so she broke the soul-attracting incense.
"Dreams don't happen every day." Ying Qingcang thought about it, and in the future, he couldn't let the tanuki dream every day, and he would have dependence.
The tanuki gnawed its paws: "Yes, I didn't dream before." ”
"Where did you live?" Ying Qingcang wiped her face and asked casually.
"In the mountains" The tanuki suddenly looked at him vigilantly, Ying Qingcang thought that she still didn't want to tell herself, for fear that she would be angry, so she wanted to change the subject.
Who knew that the tanuki puffed out his mouth and said: "The tanuki in the mountains are also very foreign, and I am not a native old hat!" ”
"Of course, Xiao Qing'er knows so much." Ying Qingcang continued with a smile, "Then Xiaoqing'er lives alone?" ”
The tanuki looked at him with a stupid human expression: "Of course not, there are a lot of meat-eating and grass-eating demons!" She raised her hair proudly, "But they are all the subordinates of the ancestor, squeak!" They are all the servants of the ancestors! ”
"Well, you should listen to Xiaoqing'er." Ying Qingcang brushed her, and the tanuki snorted twice with its little belly exposed, "When the ancestor left, the servants were reluctant!" It's a pity that they are too weak to bring out. ”
Ying Qingcang slowly massaged her tail: "Then why did Xiaoqing'er come out?" ”
"Because I'm looking for it" The tanuki suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Ying Qingcang, seeing him looking at him gently, his eyes glanced at him, "Ancestor came out to play!" By the way, take a few new servants back. ”
Ying Qingcang picked her up and put her on the table: "Then there is a chance, I will go back with Xiaoqing'er." ”
"Say it again! Let's talk about it! I've just come out, so don't go back! ”
The tanuki snorted, but Ying Qingcang didn't ask any more.
Because of the first-class cabin, you can order three meals a day, and then someone will bring it over. Ying Qingcang spent every day with the tanuki, occasionally going to the deck to look at the sea, and initially liked the seabirds that were close to the tanuki, but after seeing her eat three roast birds, he stopped coming near her.
Tanuki were indignant about this, thinking that they were too stingy.
"We've been at sea for seven days." Early in the morning, the weather suddenly changed, and the sea was smoky, as if it was going to rain. The tanuki got under the covers and didn't want to move.
"There are three days left, and if you get tired of sitting, we can leave now." Ying Qingcang fed her fruit one bite at a time, and his eyes narrowed when he watched his tanuki eat at the bar, and his heart was very happy.
"How's that going to work!" The tanuki taught him, "We have spent money, we can't waste it, we must sit all the way." ”
The tanuki was a cautious and greedy creature, but he didn't think it was a big deal. No matter what it is, it's his Xinqing.
At noon, the weather was getting worse and worse, and the rain slowly began to fall, and the waves on the sea surface became bigger and bigger.
"Don't be afraid, the Ancestor will protect you!" The tanuki was full, and unintentionally caught a glimpse of Ying Qingcang frowning, and hurriedly comforted him, "There are not many good masters like Ancestor, you have to know how to be grateful!" ”
Ying Qingcang nodded: "I am very moved. ”
"Then you" The tanuki was just about to say that you remember to go ashore to buy delicious food for the ancestor, when the boat shook violently, and she almost fell under the bed.
Ying Qingcang took her and hugged her into his arms: "Don't be afraid." ”
"Ancestor is not afraid!" The tanuki clung to his sleeve.
The boat shook again, and the seats were overturned.
"Is the ship going to be sunk?" The tanuki panicked in his mouth, and he had to put on a look that I was not afraid to drill into Ying Qingcang's arms.
Ying Qingcang's eyes darkened slightly.
It's finally here
"The ship is sinking!"
"Help!"
As soon as I left the room, there was shouting and crying outside. The tanuki poked its head out of Ying Qingcang's arms and found that there was no one on their floor.
"Is the ship really sinking?" The tanuki will not be afraid, anyway, the servant is very powerful, and will not let her drown.
Ying Qingcang shook his head: "Something should be hitting the ship." ”
On the next deck, the captain was calming everyone.
"Don't panic, it may be that the sea beast is colliding with the ship, I will go and communicate with it, everyone go back to their rooms first, otherwise it will hit even worse if it is delayed."
"The boats that cross the sea are all the worldly properties of some major sects, and they are generally managed by outer disciples." Ying Qingcang explained to the tanuki.
Tanuki looked at the captain and said, "That guy has just laid the foundation." ”
"The cultivation is not high, but the experience is rich." Otherwise, they wouldn't know that it was the sea beast that was crashing into the ship.
Some of the common people probably experienced this, and one by one they told each other, and soon the people on the deck dispersed. In the end, only the captain's men and some monks remained.
Ying Qingcang glanced at it and found that the four people were not inside, probably hiding.
"I'm staying!" The fat tanuki grabbed his collar, how beautiful and lively!
Ying Qingcang stood behind a group of monks with her in his arms, and saw the captain throw a talisman into the sea, and soon the impact stopped, but the sea boiled, as if it had exploded.
"Something is coming out." The tanuki stared at it with good eyes, not knowing at all that his paws were clutching Ying Qingcang.
Particularly nervous.
Ying Qingcang smiled and hugged her into his arms.
Something popped up in the water, growing bigger and bigger, and finally it was a red coral that came out of the sea. It was the size of a small mountain bag, and there were several fish heads standing on it.
"It's ugly!" The tanuki felt blind.
Those people have human bodies, only the head is a fish head, it's terrifying! How could there be such an ugly demon.
"This is a blue arowana at the bottom of the sea." Seeing that his tanuki was about to roll his eyes, Ying Qingcang covered her eyes and said, "When they cultivate their tails, they will be able to transform into Jiao, and then they will be transformed into complete human beings." ”
"Why do you want to stop our ship, do you want to break the agreement?"
They have signed an agreement with the leaders of each sea area, and they pay a certain amount of hedron as a toll on time every year, and ordinary sea beasts will not attack passenger ships.
"Our king is missing, his breath is in this boat, hurry up and hand over the fish!" The head of the fish is particularly large, and the mouth is open and closed.
The tanuki wanted to roll his eyes again.
"Guys, is there some misunderstanding?" When the captain heard this, he knew that this was a big deal.
The king of the green arowana must have turned into a dragon, which is very precious to the group, after all, there will be no one in hundreds of years.
"Impossible!" The head of the fish stared at the eyes of the fish that were about to bulge, "It's on the boat, if you don't hand it over, we'll knock the boat over, and then find it ourselves." ”
The tanuki scratched Ying Qingcang's hand: "Do you know what they are talking about? ”
"In the rightmost room on the second floor." Ying Qingcang lowered his voice, "A green arowana that has just turned into a dragon." ”
Tanuki's eyes widened: "How do you know?" "I found out when I got on the boat." Ying Qingcang didn't hide it from her, "I think that green dragon fish may have been seriously injured, so it was caught." ”
The fat civet cat suddenly chirped his mouth: "Then what kind of green arowana is delicious?" ”
"It's not for food." Ying Qingcang couldn't cry or laugh, "It must be to be a spirit pet." ”
The tanuki looked disdainful: "There are people who want such ugly fish, I must have never seen such a cute demon as this ancestor!" ”
"Give me half an hour, and we'll look for it!" The captain over there compromised, the blue dragon fish will not use this excuse to find trouble, it is estimated that the king of the other people is really on the ship.
I don't know which one of the thousands of knives caused the trouble!
"Hurry up, hurry up and go your separate ways." He assigned the crew, and then walked over to the group of monks, asking them to help as well.
The monks agreed, after all, it was a matter of life and death.
"This fellow Daoist!" The captain found out that Ying Qingcang was a monk in the Jindan period, and he was very happy to run over and ask him for help.
As for his hairy head with a neckline, it was automatically ignored.
"Squeak! Is it good? The tanuki asked, waving his paw.
The captain was stunned: "Good good?" ”
"Stupid human!" The tanuki pointed at him, "There is no benefit to whoever gives you the work for nothing." ”
The captain who was scolded for being stupid for the first time was a little confused, and after reacting, he was a little unhappy.
"If the ship sinks, you won't survive, and everyone will die in this vast sea."
He didn't think that Ying Qingcang had any magic weapon to escape, and if there was such a thing, he wouldn't come to take the boat.
"We have it!" The tanuki saw his thoughts and said proudly, "We're not going to die anyway." ”
The captain looked at the man who had been silent speechlessly, how could he raise such a nasty spirit pet.
"Even if there is a way for Daoyou to leave, what about the hundreds of people here? Please help me too! He felt that the spirit pet was unreliable, and the master had to be reliable, who knew that the other party threw out a sentence lightly.
"I don't know what it matters."
The captain snorted coldly and turned around: "When I didn't say anything." ”
"Hey!" "Don't you want to know where that fish is?" ”
The captain's feet were retracted, and he turned his head to look at Ying Qingcang suspiciously: "You know? ”
"Bold!" The tanuki was furious, "Obviously the ancestor called you, why didn't you ask me?" ”
Ying Qingcang touched the fried tanuki: "I don't know." ”
What else does the captain not understand! Although I thought in my heart that this monk was not sick, he was so accustomed to spiritual pets. But for now, he still obediently leaned over.
"Does this little friend really know where it is?" He wanted to call it a tanuki, but he didn't know why it would be unlucky to call it out intuitively
The tanuki was very satisfied with his salutation, and shook his head and stretched out a paw: "Good! ”
"I really don't." The captain was going to cry.
"Then you go and talk to the fish." The tanuki gives him an idea.
The captain was helpless, because everyone had returned, and no one could find the green arowana, so he had to go to the bow of the boat to discuss with the fish.
After a while, the tanuki saw three fish following the captain in this direction.
"What treasures do they have!"
Ying Qingcang smiled: "The scales of the green arowana will change with the light, and the color is quite beautiful, other than that, it is also some pearl shells." ”
"Squeak!" The tanuki looked at the fish and smiled.
