CHAPTER XXXIX

It is said that everyone has gone to the burial islands, in the name of searching for beetle fish bones, so as to find the underwater palace and obtain treasures.

The people of Dongyanlou disguised themselves as widows and sent their husbands and deliberately approached the Wang family's fleet.

For a while, the owner of the Wang family, who had a ghost in his heart, was confused.

After a day, the fleet finally approached the Burial Islands.

Standing on the deck, I saw the large islands in front of me, one after another, as if I had entered a small world overseas.

When they arrived, it was no longer convenient for the big ship to sail in, and the people had to moor the big ship next to the nearest island.

I got off the boat and boarded the islands one by one.

It was the middle of the day, the weather was unusually hot, and everyone was sweating.

When I finally got to the island, I used the shady woods to block the scorching sun.

The cool sea breeze blows slowly, with the sound of birds, one after another.

On the side, the people of the Wang family began to gather everyone: "Big guy, this autumn tiger is very vicious, we have to rectify and rest on the island, and wait for the evening to be cold, so we can continue to move forward in a small boat!" ”

It turned out that in the middle of this small island, many small wooden houses were built, some were used to live in people, and some were used to store all kinds of things and sundries, such as small boats.

Together, they pulled the boat out and prepared for the evening sail.

I saw that the small boat, with a wide head and flat bottom, could accommodate seven or eight adult men, and it was also extremely convenient to use in this sea area with many islands.

At this time, Congsi's female guard, disguised as the widow, was being called by the widow Hu Caizhi to make some food.

That Zhang Xianquan saw that the female escort also looked quite good, and a pair of colored eyes stared directly at the back of Cong Si leaving.

The widow Hu Caizhi said coquettishly: "Xianquan, this trip to the sea, but the slave family is tired enough, you still don't care about the slave family!" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Xianquan reacted and smiled embarrassedly: "How tired is Fat'er?" I'll hammer it for you! ”

"Here, shoulders, and ...... The waist of the slave family ......"

In the distance, Mu Wei disguised himself as an old Taoist priest, but he hid his face in shame and said: "Don't look at incivility, don't look at incivility......"

On the side, the boatmen of the Wang family laughed in his ear: "Old Taoist, no one is ashamed, how ashamed are you?" ”

"People are pure-hearted and have few desires, which is naturally different. Look at that Zhang Xianquan, although he is in his thirties, his skin is thicker than the rocks at the bottom of the sea, and it is not surprising that he has done such a thing. "There was a debate about it.

The old Taoist priest tilted his head aside: "Foremen, don't talk about it, let's continue the work in our hands, I hope that the poor Taoist is lucky and can meet the beetle ......."

When a Wang boatman heard this, he muttered: "If you want to say that this beetle fish, we don't know what it looks like, and we still hope to meet it?" ”

"It's better to find a rich widow like Zhang Xianquan......"

……

It was waiting for everyone to be free and eating.

At this time, a flock of birds flocked, and a swarm of bees flew into the air, and the terrified cries resounded throughout the world.

Everyone was so startled that they almost choked to death from the dry food in their mouths.

"Grandma's, call a hairy!" A big man of the Wang family got up angrily.

"Zhou Tong, go and see, what's going on." Zhang Xianquan commanded.

Zhou Tongzheng was furious, got up to see what was happening, and when he heard this, he strode towards the shore of the island.

As soon as the figure disappeared, everyone heard a thunderous shout.

"Ahh

Everyone was shocked again, and there was already some panic in their hearts.

A few boatmen who were not very scared formed a team to check, and Zhang Xianquan took the lead in order to leave a good impression of bravery in front of the widow Hu Caizhi.

Before the group reached the shore, they found Zhou Tong kneeling on the ground with his head in his hands, trembling with fear.

Not far away, a large unbelievable object lay quietly.

A very bold boatman crossed Zhou Tong and stepped forward to check.

I saw him crouch down and gently pick at the piece with a branch on the side.

Beneath the tattered clothes, there were purple-brown pieces of flesh and blackened bones in the white, and many deep tooth marks pierced the corpse's abdomen, leaving a pitch-black hole.

And at the mouth of the cave, white and fat maggots were slowly wriggling.

It was an incomplete corpse, missing limbs and a head, but it was wet inside and out, with the salty smell of sea water and the smell of corpses.

"Shipowner, it's an incomplete corpse! It looks like he had just been buried in the sea. The daring boatman shouted.

Hearing this, Zhang Xianquan stepped forward and kicked Zhou Tongyi's foot.

"Fuck! Bai Chang is so strong that even the dead are afraid! ”

When I got closer to the corpse, I saw that it was a "sea protection immortal" who had not been buried at sea for a short time.

"Protecting the Sea" is their honorific title for the deceased who directly puts the body into the sea.

There are three types of sea burials, one is that all the bodies are cremated and the ashes are scattered into the sea; One is to leave half of the body on the island, dig a small grave, put it in the sea and bury it, and the other half of the body is cremated and scattered into the sea.

The last one is to sink the body directly to the bottom of the sea, which is called to see the god of the sea and be the god of the sea's guards, but in fact it is to feed the fish and add food to the creatures in the sea. Such warriors are known as "Great Immortals Protecting the Sea".

At this time, the people who were left behind couldn't help but be curious and secretly followed. I was relieved to learn that the thing might have been thrown out by a big fish passing by.

Everyone looked curiously at Zhang Xianquan pulling the mass of things they didn't know what it was, and they looked at it vigorously.

Hu Caizhi stepped forward cautiously and asked, "Xianquan, what is this?" ”

Unexpectedly, when she saw it clearly, she was shocked.

"Ahh Get it away! I'm scared to death of the slaves! ”

Zhang Xianquan hugged the screaming woman in his arms distressedly, and ordered with a smile: "Quick, throw it back into the sea, then, he sewed a piece of jade in the pocket of his clothes, it's very good, take it out and wash it, and then give it to me." ”

When the bold boatman Huang Yuer heard this, he hurriedly threw away the things, washed the jade, and respectfully handed it to Zhang Xianquan.

I saw that the jade, pure in texture, soft luster, and warm and subtle, is an excellent nephrite.

After washing it and taking a closer look, I found that it was carved with the appearance of the sea god, with a delicate image and majesty.

Zhang Xianquan laughed and said, "It's really a good jade!" Do you like it? If you like it, I will give it to you, just because you lack a decent necklace, take this jade, and you can set it on a gold belt. ”

But Hu Caizhi didn't like it and said: "This is a dead man's thing, so the slave family doesn't want it!" Take it aside! ”

There was no way, Zhang Xianquan had to smile and put it in his arms.

Next to him, many people have hot eyes, and with this good thing, he can get Zhang Xianquan! It's not that you're the owner of the ship, and everything good is in your pocket!?

From the side quietly looking at the expressions of these people, she just smiled coldly.

And Mu Wei looked at her with banter in his eyes.

……

In the afternoon, the weather was finally not so hot, and it was much cooler when the sea breeze was blowing.

Everyone finally got up lazily, prepared their tools, etc., and headed to the island to set off by boat.

And Hu Caizhi was holding the urn of her dead husband, crying and crying, while being helped to walk.

She told Zhang Xianquan that her husband's ashes must be scattered into the sea on the largest island, otherwise it will be bad for her husband to be reincarnated in the next life.

Zhang Xianquan learned that he also relied on Hu Caizhi, so he took the map she gave him to look for the largest island in the island.

Because Hu Caizhi promised him, as long as the ashes were scattered, he would return to the shore at that time, and after the time of filial piety, he would ask the master to calculate a good day and auspicious day, so that the two could get married smoothly.

And once married, Zhang Xianquan will take the inheritance in Hu Caizhi's name nine times out of ten.

Thinking of a good plan in his heart, Zhang Xianquan completely ignored Wang Dajin's instructions and wanted to follow the Taoist chief's arrangement to find the beetle fish bones.

And everyone in the Wang family could only dare to be angry but not speak, and followed Zhang Xianquan to mourn the widow.

But whether you can find the largest island, I don't know for the time being, I only know that the map in Zhang Xianquan's hand at this time is the map to the underwater palace.

As the sun sets, several small boats slowly row between the islands, rippling water lines, round and round, which is very moving.

From afar, this place looks like a paradise on the sea.
