CHAPTER 40

Because Zhang Xianquan insisted on going his own way and wanted to bury Hu Caizhi's dead husband first, it has angered many boatmen of the Wang family.

After holding it back for several days, everyone finally broke out.

"The master asked me to accompany the Taoist to look for the beetle fish bones, but Zhang Xianquan, you completely forgot to tell you, and threw yourself on the widow, you are a ghost and addicted to sex!"

"That's right! Zhang Xianquan, how can you be worthy of your master's cultivation over the years!? ”

“……”

Everyone gathered together to scold Zhang Xianquan angrily, but they saw that the protagonist of the incident was unmoved.

He hugged Hu Caizhi and smiled presumptuously: "Everyone, I just found a beautiful woman to do something small for her." ”

"Fish bones, I'll go with you to find them, but now is not the time."

As soon as he finished speaking, he glanced at the guards next to him.

I saw that the strong subordinate stood up all of a sudden, and his momentum was overwhelming.

Zhang Xianquan still smiled: "Everyone, my temper is not very good, I believe everyone has always known it." ”

"If anyone doesn't want to listen to me, just tell me, and I'll let you go, and then you can look for the beetle bones as much as you want."

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other.

Zhang Xianquan raised his eyebrows: "What, didn't you still shout just now?" And now there's no movement? Sure enough, it's a cowardly thing, and there is no bravery of a man at all! ”

In a word, everyone was furious.

I saw a few boatmen step forward angrily: "Zhang Xianquan, you are just a Wang Ba who relies on women to eat soft rice, saying that you are Wang Ba, I still feel insulted to the turtles and turtles in the sea!" ”

"If you have the ability, you will continue like this!"

"We're not going to be disgusting with you here, let us get off the boat and land on the island, so we can look for the beetle bones!" When I return to the house smoothly, I must explain your guilt to the master one by one! ”

As soon as the words fell, the head of the boatman who opened his mouth to scold was cut off in an instant, and the columnar blood gushed out from his neck, and the blood splashed into the seawater, and was quickly smeared.

The people around him were taken aback, especially Hu Caizhi.

"Ahh Dead! I'm scared to death of the slaves! ”

Zhang Xianquan patted the woman's shoulder lovingly: "Baby, be good, it's my fault." ”

"Don't be angry, it's me who didn't do well, and I ask you to forgive me a lot?"

But Hu Caizhi is not easy to coax, and as soon as he turned his head, he sat on the bow of the boat and sulked.

Behind him, Zhang Xianquan's face became more and more cold.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I won't talk to you anymore, I'll only give you a chance, if you want to continue to follow me, stay."

"If you don't want to, it's a lonely ghost buried in this sea!"

A few words threatened everyone to the death.

Everyone looked at each other, and they didn't dare to make another time, so they had to beg for mercy.

……

Small boats traveling in the archipelago, not very fast.

After a day and a night, the group finally arrived at the location indicated on the map.

When I boarded the island, I saw that it was indeed much larger than the island I had passed before, and I saw that the small hills were continuous, the green trees were all over the mountains, and the insects and birds were singing.

Hu Caizhi was extremely happy, threw himself into Zhang Xianquan's arms, and cried and grateful: "Xianquan, this is it." ”

"When the slave family buries the ashes of the widow, there is no concern. At that time, the slave family will leave the southeast sea with you, go north, and go to the prosperous imperial capital. ”

Zhang Xianquan was extremely satisfied with this big cake: "Fat, it's so good, hahahaha!" ”

On the side, everyone moved the paper money, artifacts and other objects used for burial from the ship one by one.

Subsequently, Hu Caizhi's housekeepers began to arrange the offering table, sacrificial tent, etc., and ordered each Xiao Si to place the things according to the number of rites, so as not to go out of the pool.

Although it is a sea burial, scattering the ashes into the sea, there is also a process that needs to be followed.

I saw a funeral band on the boat, with a guy in hand, around the offering table lit with incense and candles, unhurriedly blowing the lama and suona, and for a while, the sound of gongs, drums and cannons rang out in the sky.

Because Hu Caizhi failed to give birth to a son and a half daughter to her dead husband, she indiscriminately recognized a young guard as a righteous son, so that he could cry as a filial son before the burial.

On the side, Hu Caizhi changed into mourning clothes again, and knelt on the ground to cry with a smile.

If it weren't for these days, the people of the Wang family would have known something about her, otherwise they would have been deceived by that miserable crying face.

After the offerings were placed, the housekeeper began to recite the sacrificial text, and the drumming and music procession was even more lively and loud, and even performed a hundred operas of music and dance on the spot, which was not exciting.

Everyone watched from the sidelines, not thinking that it was a funeral, but rather like a pleasing performance in the orchestra.

Just waiting for everyone to be fascinated, but they didn't know that danger was coming.

Under the deep blue water, disturbed by the music of the island, more than a dozen huge black strange fish are swimming to the surface of the sea.

I saw that the strange fish, large and long, several times the size of a small boat, had five or six pairs of fins on its body, and each fin was extremely sharp, as if there were hard bone spurs embedded in it.

The tail of the strange fish is a pair of webbed feet similar to that of a duck

The big fish is extremely fast, churning the sea water with a strange noise.

Some of the people who were holding the funeral not far from the island had good ears and could already hear the ring.

"Eh, did you hear that? It was as if something was swimming. ”

The person next to him was puzzled: "No! Did you hear it wrong? ”

The sound in the sea had already attracted the attention of Congsi and Mu Wei, and after the two looked at each other, they closed their eyes and listened carefully.

As the sound became more and more obvious, the faces of the two were a little ugly.

The sound was like rumbling thunder, like a whining roar, what was it calling?

The two of them quickly got up and ran quickly to the edge of the island.

I saw that on the surface of the sea, there were many huge black monsters, with long gills, large mouths with double rows of sharp teeth, and when their faces were hideous, they kept making strange noises.

"What is this? Why does it look so strange? Hiding under the bushes, she asked in a low voice.

Mu Wei shook his head: "I don't know ......"

"However, the ancient books say that when the regent of the Dazun Dynasty was buried, in order to protect his tomb, the people who buried him raised a lot of guardian sea beasts on his island."

"I guess that's it, it seems that we are near the Underwater Palace."

Congsi frowned: "They suddenly appeared here, it should be that the music is too loud and alarmed them." ”

"We have to find a way to get them out, otherwise we won't be able to go into the water to find the underwater palace."

Mu Wei nodded: "Indeed." ”

But just as the two of them were thinking sadly, a group of people suddenly came behind them, all of them in a dark place, holding a guy in their hands.

It turned out that someone had just seen it and found that a female guard and the old Taoist chief had secretly left, and then they also heard a strange noise, so they made the decision privately and told Zhang Xianquan about the matter.

When Zhang Xianquan heard this, his eyes lit up, couldn't it be that these two people found some treasure that made them so tired?

Subsequently, Zhang Xianquan immediately ordered everyone in the Wang family to go to the island to find the old Taoist chief and the other two.

When the two of them hid and saw Zhang Xianquan leading people over with great fanfare, their faces immediately turned cold.

"Old Daoist, what are you doing here, the female guard? Isn't there something about stealing chickens and dogs, and you're ashamed to say it? Zhang Xianquan has a loud voice.

As soon as the words fell, the monster that was still hesitating instantly became agitated, startling everyone.

"Master, what's the sound?" A boatman asked.

Then another boatman discovered: "Look, master, there are monsters in the sea!" ”

Hearing this, everyone quickly looked at the sea, it was okay not to look at it, and they were startled when they saw it.

"Straight, what is this?" Zhang Xianquan was surprised.

So saying, he stepped forward to check.

"You've already alarmed them, it's better not to go, I see that they are very sensitive to sound." ”

Mu Wei also persuaded: "Ship Master Zhang, this female guard is right, let's not continue to disturb people, after all, we will leave here later." ”

But Zhang Xianquan obviously couldn't listen to it, shook off Congsi's hand, and was about to step forward.

"The owner of this ship is doing things, but you two lowly things can stop it?"

I saw Zhang Xianquan walking forward quickly, only a foot away from those monsters.

"Hmph, it's some big ugly-looking fish, what's so surprising!" He turned around and spat at the crowd.

But the next moment, those monsters in the sea instantly jumped upward, and they were about to bite Zhang Xianquan.

"Be careful!"

"Beware, Shipowner!"

The crowd shouted in remind.

Hearing this, Zhang Xianquan hurriedly turned around and saw a strange fish with its big mouth open.

He was so frightened that his legs immediately went limp, and he was terrified.

"Ahh Save me! ”

Seeing that he was about to be bitten, saying that it was too late and that it was too fast, Mu Wei pointed his toes on the ground, rushed over quickly, and pulled the person behind.

But in the end, he was a step too late, and I saw that the strange fish instantly bit off Zhang Xianquan's arm and swallowed it.

"Ahh My hand! Zhang Xianquan was panicked.

The smell of blood spread quickly, and in an instant, those strange fish jumped into action, and even jumped onto the island.

"Run! They will walk on land! Congsi shouted, reminding everyone.

Some of the shipwrights who had not yet reacted were bitten in an instant, and in an instant, blood spurted out.

Soon, the place was in chaos, the dead died, and the fleeing fled.
