The fishermen's ritual of sacrificing to the sea is generally divided into three steps.

The first step is to burn incense paper, set off firecrackers, face the sea to worship, the more the cannon blows up, the louder, the more it is to thank the sea god, this trip accidentally caught the crossfish, the firecrackers are set off loudly, crackling for half a column of incense burned for an hour.

The second step is to place the "Taiping Fang" in order to seek the meaning of "Taiping". According to the most experienced Lao Lu said, "Taipingfang" is a coffin board, when going to sea, it was put on the boat, and at this time it was carried out in order to pray for peace to the god of the sea, and it was taboo for fishermen to go to sea, and it was taboo to be swallowed by the huge waves, or to be buried in the sea, so they put a coffin board on the boat, in order to be peaceful and peaceful, "into the soil for peace". Even the beds they slept in in the cabins of the ship were not as new as the cabins on the second floor, and their beds were all old and dead, so that they could die in their beds until they were old.

This third step, Lao Lu said, is to sacrifice the best catch as a sacrifice. The general sacrifice is a carp, taking its auspicious meaning of "carp jumping over the dragon gate", but this horizontal male fish resembles a red carp, but it is a higher sacrifice than the carp, cut a knife on the back of the fish, and sacrifice it to the god of the sea, just afraid that their trip to the sea will be safe and smooth.

At the end of the day, the fishermen recite a mantra to thank the gods, called "Xie Yang".

Bai Qianyu saw that the fishermen were carrying out the sea sacrifice step by step, and suddenly a stirring spirit sounded in his mind, and the words that Mo Guiyun said to her last night suddenly sounded:

"There are too many people during the day, I don't like it very much, and if there is any sea festival or something like tomorrow, the white girl doesn't have to call me, even when she eats fish. ”

Her heart moved: "Could it be that Xiaomo actually has the ability to predict the future? He did not know the prophet of today's sea festival, and knew that this sea festival was held because he wanted to eat Henggong fish." ”

You must know that the ability of foreknowledge is the ability of time, and it is the same as the ability of space, which is the magic power of the peak, which is not something that ordinary monks can do, that is, monks who have cultivated to the Mahayana Shattered Void and are about to ascend to the tribulation, if they do not have the talent of time and space, they will not be able to do penance no matter how many times they turn around, and the energy of time and space only exists in a very small number of people in the Three Realms.

Thinking about it like this, Bai Qianyu felt more and more that Mo Guiyun was mysterious and unpredictable, in her setting, there was no such number one character as Mo Guiyun, she thought at first that he was just an NPC who happened to pass by, but he was able to escape in the ghost car fire, and was suspected of being a soul hunter by Wei Xiao, and he had the ability to predict, and he was by no means a simple character.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that the world was also out of her setting, not only did it run on its own, but even such a powerful character could be born out of thin air.

At this time, seeing that the fishermen's sea festival successfully completed the first step of burning incense and turning paper and setting off firecrackers, when the seven men who begged for the Han will carry the coffin board up from the bilge, several people on the boat were still frightened, but fortunately, under Lao Lu's explanation, everyone was relieved.

Then it came to the third step - cutting the fish and sacrificing the sea, once this step was completed, it was to take the cross-male fish into the pot, and the gluttonous worm that everyone was hooked by the ginger turtle before was already faintly strange in the stomach, and he couldn't wait.

This third step was originally the knife of Allah, but she was just about to use her dagger in her hand to cut the Henggong fish, but Zhu Yi had already taken the first step, picked the sharpest and most handy sharp knife from the long table, squeezed through the crowd and handed it to Bai Qianyu, Yin Yin said: "White girl, this matter of cutting meat and sacrificing to the sea god, it is more appropriate for you to come personally!"

With that, he glanced at her.

Bai Qianyu wanted to excuse himself, but looking at his concerned expression, it didn't seem to be done, and he remembered that since he went to sea, in the past few days on this ship, he really didn't sleep well at night, and he would rather believe that he had it than not believe it, and it didn't hurt to cut this knife himself, so he took the knife at the moment, took a breath, and stepped forward.

Zhenzhen inserted the dagger back into the fishskin boot and watched her every move with his arms crossed.

The girl was like an elf born to walk through the sea, her long black hair curled slightly like waves, and her temperament was as unpredictable as the sea, sometimes passionate, sometimes indifferent, especially when she did not speak, and her eyes were so cold that they seemed to reject people thousands of miles away.

When she looked at Bai Qianyu, the shadow fell at the foot of her slender body, although under the big sun during the day, she still couldn't help but reveal a little cold and lonely.

It was almost difficult for Bai Qianyu to connect her with the bead girl who had saved her last night and put her hand on her shoulder to remind herself to be careful.

The crossfish was lying on the deck at his feet, and his head was restrained by the real "water breaking dagger", except for being able to shake his head and tail, he couldn't move.

Bai Qianyu walked over with a knife, picked up the sharp knife in one hand, and aimed the tip of the knife at its back of the fish, and was about to make a knife.

Henggong Yu looked at her with a pitiful expression.

The expression was a little similar to that when it was human.

Bai Qianyu reminded himself in his heart: "It's just a fish, it's just a fish!"

A knife was about to fall on its back, and suddenly the fish's mouth opened, as if to say something to her, and she was surprised to understand: "Don't kill me, I can see that you are not a mortal, you are the only one on this ship who can kill me, please don't kill me!"

Bai Qianyu's hand shook, and the knife fell on the deck.

As if he had been pardoned, the fish's mouth opened, and he said, "As long as you can let me go, I will take you to eat jellyfish as delicious as soup dumplings!"

In the eyes of this greedy male fish, being able to take her to eat jellyfish deep under the sea is already the highest reward.

Bai Qianyu couldn't cry or laugh, but looking at the situation of everyone, no one could hear what Henggong Yu said to her, and she knew that this cunning fish had used a bewitching spell on her again, but she had seen it as a human being, and she had talked to it, so she couldn't just see it as a fish and not a person, let alone ask her to kill it, let alone ask her to eat Henggong Fish.

She slowly straightened up, looked around at everyone, and said, "I don't want to kill this fish, so let's release it into the sea and let it fend for itself!"

Henggong fish was originally bought by her for money, she said that she wanted to put it, and others couldn't say anything for a while, but Zhenzhen took a step forward and said coldly: "No!"

I only heard her continue: "This Henggong fish was originally used to sacrifice to the god of the sea, we have burned incense and prayed before, telling the god of the sea that the flesh of this fish will be sacrificed to him, but now we have broken the oath and released it, and the god of the sea will not let us go!"

"That's right!" Several other men begging for the sea also continued: "If we release this fish, the punishment of the sea god will definitely follow, setting off storms and waves on the sea, overturning our big ship, and causing everyone on board to die at the bottom of the sea!"

"And," said one of the tall men, "the Henggong Fish is a demon beast in the sea, after thousands of years of cultivation, this fish has opened its mind, and it is no different from a human, if we let it go, it will definitely come to take revenge on us!"

A few of them are so noisy, and the others have the heart to release the crossfish, and it is inconvenient to release it at this time, not to mention that everyone still covets the delicacy of the crossfish.

Wei Xiao took a step forward, stood in front of Bai Qianyu, and said: "Everyone, the theory of the sea god is ethereal and ethereal, it is not credible, it is just a belief of fishermen for generations, and the so-called punishment of the sea god may not exist." He glanced at the male fish lying on the deck and said, "Even if this fish has become a demon, it is just a fish, so you don't need to be so afraid!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, Zhenzhen wanted to refute a few words, but he saved Zhenzhen's life at sea, and this rebellious girl just snorted coldly, folded her arms, and stopped talking, but her face was full of disdain.

On the contrary, Lao Lu, who had always been calm, opened his mouth: "Brother Wei, what if this Seagod's statement is true?"

Wei Xiao said: "I don't know if you are on the ship, but one of you has seen the sea god with your own eyes?"

His eyes swept over everyone one by one, but no one could answer.

Lao Lu touched an amber snuffbox in his hand, and said: "The power of the sea is unpredictable, and sailing on the sea is about peace, so the sea god's saying would rather be believed than not." ”

He has sailed at sea for many years, is a seaman for many years, on this ship, in addition to the old turtle who drove the boat, he counted him as the most experienced at sea, and experienced a lot of strange things at sea, many strange things, manpower can not be solved, but he would rather believe in the sea god.

And the legend of the god of the sea has indeed existed since ancient times.

This legend is passed down by word of mouth among the fishermen along the coast and spreads widely.

Legend has it that since the beginning of the universe, tens of thousands of years ago, since the ancient gods opened the heavens and the earth, incarnated all things in heaven and earth and the Three Realms, the former Emperor of the Three Realms, the co-master of heaven and earth, Xingyuan Shenjun disappeared in the vast world, the Yuan Shen fell asleep, and the heavenly realm was ruled by the Emperor of the Five Directions, until a thousand years ago, the Eastern Emperor Haotian unified the five heavens and became the lord of the heavenly realm.

The underworld has always been unified by the unshakable Emperor of the Underworld, and it has not been extinguished for thousands of years.

Only the human realm has always been in constant war, swords and soldiers, divided and ruled by various races, there has never been a co-master, the demon king, the human emperor, and the emperors of all ethnic groups are in charge of the vast land of the world, until more than a year ago, the Fengyan continent where the human race is located sank into the sea, and this one that can compete with the powerful demon race has been silent.

Heaven, earth, and man are all ruled by emperors, kings, kings, and emperors, but only in the vast waters of the world, between the nine mountains and ten lands, among the eight seas, has not yet heard of the existence of the sea emperor.

You must know that in the nine mountains and ten lands, which are dominated by humans and demons, although many monks, true cultivation, demon cultivation, illusion cultivation, shadow cultivation, spiritual cultivation, and even martial cultivation, Buddhist cultivation, and Taoist cultivation, thousands of monks have gone forward one after another, devoted their whole lives to study, and studied the way of cultivation, so as to use the body of a mortal to penetrate the creation of heaven and earth, master the powerful power, and use the power of various secret treasures and magic weapons to shake the heavens and the earth, and ascend to the immortal path.

And some people who have cultivated to a high level are said to have mastered the secret method of immortality and can live for thousands of years without dying.

But these, before they crossed the tribulation and ascended to the heavenly realm and became immortal immortals, in the eyes of the gods and immortals of the heavenly realm, they were just passers-by and ants in the thousands of years.

In other words, it is not the monks who have worked hard to get close to the gods who can rule the eight seas, but the real gods, the sea gods.

If the sea god really exists, then he is the only existence in the human world in the three realms that resides in the human realm as a god and can compete with the emperors of the heavenly realm and the underworld.

In view of such a unique identity of the sea god, if there is really a ruler above the eight seas, it is also the top god, and it is easy not to appear in the human world in the form of a god.

So the god of the sea, or the emperor of the sea, does he really exist or not, or what kind of face will he exist? This is indeed a mystery in the human world.

Not only that, but his mystery is a mystery in the Three Realms.

In the legend of the fishermen, this sea god does exist, the legend says that he stood on the blazing mountain of an active volcano at the bottom of the sea, with the sea water above his head, his feet on the crater of the flowstone eruption, four heads and eight arms, his face was indigo, his eyes were fangs, his hair floated upwards like seaweed, his beard was composed of nine sea snakes, a fierce Ying Long was coiled around his neck, a powerful serpentine trident was held on one hand, and the other six arms were raised high, holding the six artifacts in the sea: Dinghai Needle, Shaking Sea Pestle, Shaking Sea Bell, Moving Sea Seal, Turning Sea Sword, Boiled Haiding.

As long as his trident is wielded, it can not only easily set off a powerful sea earthquake that shakes the Three Realms, causing monstrous waves and tsunamis, causing the earth to sink, the heaven and the earth to collapse, the heavens to shake, and the earth to shake, and even to shatter all things in the heavens and the earth, so that the connection of the three realms will crack and expose the underworld, and even the invincible Hades Emperor Yin Liyan will be afraid of the blow of the sea god.

It stands to reason that such a powerful and powerful sea god who holds the power of the eight seas should not be willing to live in the eight seas under the heavenly realm and have the heavenly realm on his head, so another article was added to the folklore, saying that this sea god had a violent temperament and was extremely unwilling to accept the rule of the emperor of heaven, so he was punished by heaven, so that he was soaked in the bitter and astringent sea water for many years, and the violent qi on his body was cleansed.

"Even so, this hot-tempered sea god has a very elegant name, called Beihai Ruo. ”

The story was told from among the seven beggars, and was finally closed by the tallest young man among them.

The young man Wei Xiao had seen him once, and on the deck on the first floor, he saw that Zhu Nuzhen was more compatible with him than others, so he paid extra attention to it, and specially asked his name.

"My name is Negative Wave. The young man replied, his swarthy face and brows, and there was a sense of calmness that was different from that of the other sea seekers.

He made a suggestion: "Whenever we fishermen have something to decide, we will light a cigarette in the bow of the boat, called 'Ask the sea god', if the sea god agrees to this matter, the cigarette will burn quietly, no matter how strong the wind and waves are, it will not be extinguished, if the sea god does not agree, then the cigarette will be extinguished by the waves." ”

"It's just," he frowned, "the god of the sea must not be easily alarmed, if you want to ask the god of the sea, someone must cut off the blood on the finger, drip it on the cigarette, and swear a blood oath to show sincerity, once the god of the sea answers, then as long as this person violates the will of the god of the sea, he will die tragically at sea." ”

"I'm coming!" a faint voice sounded.

Everyone was startled, and their eyes looked at the source of the voice.

It is the pearl girl who is really true.
