Chapter 173: The water is vast and the road is long
Ding Xiaoyi took the little girl and the wolf king and finally left Qingzhou,
They traveled all the way south to a large river with rough waves.
The river is endless, and the murmur of the murky water is loud,
kept beating the boulders on both sides of the riverbank,
The turbid waters of the river stirred up thousands of huge waves.
Wave after wave surged,
The little girl sat on the back of the wolf king, and her eyes showed excitement,
Seeing this turbulent river, she did not have the slightest fear.
"It's such a wide river, Ding Xiaoyi, do you say there is a big python in this river?"
Ding Xiaoyou seems to have a soft spot for pythons now, but he doesn't have any interest in other demon beasts.
Ding Xiaoyi listened, and couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth,
How does he know if there is a python at the bottom of this river?
Looking at the rolling and turbid river, he suddenly had a sense of heroism in a surging mood.
"Ding Xiaoyi, is it okay for us to take a boat, I haven't taken a boat before."
Ding Xiaoyou watched a huge boat rushing down from the upper reaches of the river, and she said to Ding Xiaoyi excitedly.
There's a pier not far away,
Ding Xiaoyi saw that many people were waiting on the dock, and they seemed to be taking the big boat.
"Let's go, it's okay to take a boat",
Ding Xiaoyi took the little girl and the wolf king to the dock, and their appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Especially the green wolf with a body like a mountain,
It gives people an invisible coercion.
It's a small town's dock, mostly populated by ordinary mortals.
Ding Xiaoyi was carrying a long sword wrapped in coarse cloth behind him,
Although he was wearing a coarse cloth coat, his unique temperament seemed out of place among the group.
"The ship is coming, the ship is coming",
There was a stir in the crowd standing on the pier,
They shouted.
Ding Xiaoyi, on the other hand, stared at him, and he saw a huge ship slowly approaching from upstream.
The great ship sails along the water,
It seemed to be slow, but it was actually flying towards the dock.
Before the huge ship had even landed, it attracted a rush of crowds.
Ding Xiaoyi and the little girl stood behind everyone,
He watched as the huge ship slowly sailed into the dock.
It's a three-story ship.
The thick body withstood the beating of the raging waves, and the body did not even shake at all.
The roar of the great ship,
Stopped on the dock, the deck still not lowered.
The crowd was already crowded, and there were bursts of arguments.
"All the people should line up, there should be no crowding, and violators should not be allowed to get on the boat."
At this moment a thunderous shout rang out from the huge ship, and the crowd stopped.
There was a long line on the pier,
Ding Xiaoyi took the wolf king and the little girl to line up.
He could have taken the wolf king towards the ship, but he gave up.
It is better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles.
He chose to walk to the imperial capital, so he would not deliberately show his cultivation.
The little girl behind her was excited, she was on a big boat for the first time.
"Ding Xiaoyi, do you think there is a big python in this river?"
Ding Xiaoyou didn't forget to ask Ding Xiaoyi this question.
She felt that there should be pythons in the rough river.
"Yes, it is said that there is a sperm python spirit in this river, and it will come out of the bottom of the river from time to time to eat people."
A vendor carrying goods next to the little girl frightened the little girl.
When the little girl heard this, an excited expression suddenly appeared on her face.
"I'll just say, how can there be no big python in this river, Ding Xiaoyi, you have to catch this python for me, I want to eat this python."
The little girl said to Ding Xiaoyi without fear,
But Ding Xiaoyi twitched the corners of her mouth, catching a python in the river, and she couldn't figure it out.
"Little guy, be careful, don't say such disrespectful words, if this python spirit hears it, it will eat you."
When the merchant heard this, his face changed in fright, and he hurriedly warned the little girl.
"Hee-hee, it's okay, I've eaten two big pythons."
The little girl said disapprovingly.
When the merchant heard this, his face turned pale with fright.
Then he hurried to the great ship with the goods.
He thought that this little girl might have a bad brain.
The pythons in the river are all refined, and if they hear such disrespectful words, they will surely be angry.
Looking at the figure of the merchant in a hurry,
Ding Xiaoyi smiled slightly, how could the mortal world understand the world of cultivators.
"Ding Xiaoyi, do you say what he said is true",
The little girl looked at the vendor who was rushing towards the big boat, and she couldn't help but ask in confusion.
"It can't be fake, it can't be fake, and there may be a big python at the bottom of this river."
Ding Xiaoyi rubbed the little girl's hair, and he said lightly.
Ding Xiaoyi followed the team and slowly walked towards the big boat.
They came to the deck, and by this time all the men were on board.
After paying the boat fee, Ding Xiaoyi stood on the deck.
He looked at the rough river, and saw the rolling waves crashing on the shore, rolling up a thousand piles of snow.
"Set sail, go",
The thunderous voice sounded again,
And the huge ship also let out a roar, and then slowly sailed out of the dock.
The deck was full of people, all of them small traders and vendors.
There are also high-rollers dressed as knights in powerful suits, with all kinds of weapons hanging from their waists.
Ding Xiaoyi and the little girl stood in the corner of the deck,
The wolf king lay at his feet like a well-behaved dog, and the little girl was very curious about all this.
She stood by the mast and looked at the rolling river,
She looked at the river without blinking, as if she wanted to see the python in the river.
"Ding Xiaoyi, have you ever been on a boat before?"
The little girl asked Ding Xiaoyi with a clear gaze, but Ding Xiaoyi smiled faintly.
How could he not have been on a boat,
And the first experience of riding a boat was unforgettable for the rest of his life, when Master took him aboard a ship bigger than this.
The first time I took a boat, it was a dizziness to vomit,
I couldn't tell the difference between southeast and northwest at all, but the master didn't care about himself at all, and let himself vomit for a few days and nights.
After throwing up, he was much better.
And that boat ride also left an indelible shadow in his heart,
But the master deliberately tortured him and took him on the boat several times.
Sometimes it's still a flat boat ride,
The lonely boat rocked over the river,
And his chest was tumbling again, and he almost vomited all his bile.
Then, vomit a few more times,
He won't get seasick,
And he finally knew Master's good intentions.
Seasickness is not something that can be remedied, no matter how high you repair, if you get seasick, you will definitely get seasick.
It's just that the master used extreme methods to cure his seasickness.
When I think about my previous experiences, I remember them vividly.
"Why don't you speak, you said that the big python at the bottom of the river hasn't come out yet."
The little girl muttered, but her words caught everyone's attention.
Seeing these ordinary mortals with ugly faces,
Ding Xiaoyi was slightly stunned, there are many taboos on taking a boat.
For example, you can't say that you can't turn the words, and if you say that you turn the words, it will make people very disgusted.
There are still many taboos, and Ding Xiaoyi has almost forgotten them.
He felt that these taboos did not work for him at all,
But these taboos are a different matter for these ordinary mortals.
There are pythons at the bottom of the river,
There are water monsters or water monsters,
These are taboo words.
If this forbidden word is uttered on the ship,
Then it will be heard by the spirits at the bottom of the river, and then the river monsters will make waves and eat the people on the boat.
"What's wrong with them, they look scared."
Ding Xiaoyou looked at the strange eyes around him,
She couldn't help but ask Ding Xiaoyi curiously.
"It's okay, they may be afraid of the water monster at the bottom of the river."
Ding Xiaoyi patted the little girl's head, and then comforted.
And the little girl had a disapproving expression,
"What are the water monsters afraid of, as long as they dare to appear, I will catch them and eat them."
"Boom",
As soon as the little girl's voice fell,
The huge ship shook violently, and the faces of the people on the deck changed dramatically.
A great inertia came from that deck,
Everyone was caught off guard,
was staggered by this huge inertia.
They hurriedly grabbed the mast beside them, and only then did they stabilize themselves.
