"Oh~~"

Xu Boqing nodded thoughtfully.

This Qianling River is a river that runs through the beam, the river is long and even far beyond the beam, according to folk rumors, the source of the river is the legendary Tongtian River...

And there is a section of the Qianling River that passes through the territory of Gangneung Province, because Gangneung Province has many special landforms of mountains and rivers, and the river water is also slow and turbulent, known as "a thousand miles of Jiangling in one day".

Rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to eat the water...

The rich families on the Qianling River will buy some pigs to raise the river every few years, which can be regarded as a tradition...

The boss saw that the guests were eating fragrantly, so he didn't say anything and went back to the kitchen, and when there was no mutton, he picked some boiled haggis and chopped it in water, and then poured some oil and spicy seeds on the dishes...

The slightly fat mutton stewed is soft and rotten, with some dipping sauces that stimulate the taste buds, Xu Boqing is addicted to eating.

When the meat was almost finished, he got up and went to buy a few pieces of steamed buns, broke them down and soaked them in the mutton soup, and poured all the snoring into his stomach...

After satisfying his appetite, he saw that the diners in the restaurant were almost gone, and he left the city.

With his current skills, although he can't compare to the immortal family's means of flying to the sky, it is far faster than chariots and horses.

However, he did not choose to use light skills all the way to Xingyuan Mansion, but turned around and walked towards the ferry of the Qianling River.

There was a section of the Qianling River that passed through Gangneung Province, and there was also a tributary near Naxingyuan Province, so when he heard the shopkeeper talk about it just now, he thought that he could go there by boat.

Not only can you save effort, but you can also enjoy the beautiful scenery of the riverside, eat the fresh food in the river, and by the way, you can also see the river festival in the local cultural customs.

Why not?

Xu Boqing only came out in the evening, and he was greedy for some time, and when he arrived at the riverside ferry, the sky was already a little dark.

Although there are many fishing boats and ferries tied to the ferry, there are no people on the ferry, and only a few fishermen are carrying fishing baskets and nets, as if they are preparing to return home.

"Uncle..."

When several fishermen saw someone shouting, they were all stunned.

"Housheng, you shouted that we have something?"

"It's fine..."

Xu Boqing stepped forward and arched his hand, and when he saw a few fresh fish jumping around in their fish baskets, he said with a smile: "I just want to ask, why is there no one ferrying this ferry?" ”

"You're really in this afterlife..."

One of the dark-skinned men said reproachfully: "Look at what time it is, how can anyone cross the river at this time?" ”

"Uh......"

Xu Boqing looked at the sky, and also reflected that he seemed to have some questions, and explained curtly: "I didn't cross the river, but wanted to buy a ferry boat to travel far." ”

"Buying a boat? Traveling? ”

Several fishermen saw that he was dressed differently than ordinary people, so they regarded him as a rich boy who was seeking excitement, and several people looked at each other and raised their eyebrows and asked, "Housheng, do you want a fishing boat?" ”

“……”

Xu Boqing glanced at their fishing boat when he heard this, and his cheeks couldn't help twitching.

Begging for a living on the water, the ferry boat is the ferryman, the fishing boat is the fishing...

Although both are boats, the former has a compartment to shelter from the wind and the sun, while the latter has a cabin that is entirely used to hold fish.

Leaving aside the structural gap, the fishy smell in the fishing boat is not something that ordinary people can tolerate.

He was rich and didn't care much about his surroundings, but he wasn't stupid enough to buy a fishy fishing boat for a long trip.

He arched his hand, looked at the village and town not far away, and said, "The old man laughed, this fishing boat is your guy for dinner, how can I buy your guy for dinner?" ”

He paused, and asked, "I wonder if there are any people in the nearby villages and towns who want to sell ferries?" ”

The fisherman just said it in passing, but didn't report any hope.

Now that I heard that this boy insisted on buying a ferry, after thinking about it, he pointed to a ferry boat and said, "Hou Sheng, do you think that boat is still to your liking?" ”

He paused, and then pointed to a family in the village and said: "This is Liu Laohan's boat in the east of the village, he has no children and no daughters, and he is too old to support the boat, and he is planning to sell it, you can go and ask." ”

"Thank you, sir..."

Xu Boqing saw that the ferry boat was of a moderate size, the cabin was clean and tidy, and there was a small stove in it to cook rice, which was very pleasing to his heart, so he bowed his hand and thanked him and went to the village and town.

At the east end of the village, I casually asked the way down and looked for it, and when I got there, I saw the earthen house fence, and an old man was sitting in the yard in a daze.

He knocked at the door, and when he saw the old man come back to his senses, he asked, "Old man is going to sell the ferry?" ”

"Ahh

Liu Laohan's expression was correct when he heard this, and he hurriedly stood up to greet him, and responded: "It's me, it's me, you want to buy a boat in the next life?" ”

"I want to buy a ferry."

"Come in and talk, come in and talk ......"

When Liu Laohan heard that someone was buying a boat, his eyes lit up a little, dragged the person into the back of the house, and diligently poured a bowl of water.

However, Xu Boqing was slightly stunned after entering the door, and his eyes were on the shrine placed in the main hall, as well as the melons, fruits and incense worshiped under the shrine.

Most of the people who beg for a living on the rivers worship the river gods and river gods, and seek peace of mind, which is normal.

But this Liu Laohan's family was reluctant to eat it, but he also put incense on the shrine and offered tribute.

And the most strange thing for him is that the idol in the shrine is also the image of an old man with a hunchback and a cane!!

The image of the old man, as well as the aura revealed on the statue, were very similar to the image of the 'old immortal' in the "Immortal Granting Map" that he had seen in the Five Poisons Sect before!!

Or even the same person?

Or is it a demon? Immortal? God?

Seeing him looking at the shrine in a daze, Liu Laohan grinned and said, "The future life also respects the god of Jiang?" ”

"Jiang Shen?"

Xu Boqing was slightly stunned, then shook his head and said: "I'm not a local, and I don't know what the name of this Jiangshen is, can my husband tell me about this Jiangshen?" ”

"What's there to say about that?"

When Liu Laohan heard him say that he was not a local, he also realized a little, and grinned: "It is rumored that hundreds of years ago, there was a dragon king who walked in the water in this Qianling River and flooded countless surrounding villages.

Later, the dragon king left, but left behind the dragon energy, causing some water spirits to turn into monsters...

There is a cannibal demon in the river, and the people who rely on the river to eat naturally suffered, and later the river god heard the voice of the people by the river, and asked the people by the river to set up the river shrine and offer sacrifices to worship.

And the people by the river did the same.

Jiang Shen thought of the sincerity of the people, turned into a god into the river to fight with those monsters, and finally took away all the monsters in the Qianling River.

The god of the river has become the god of our riverside. ”

"I see."

Xu Boqing nodded thoughtfully, I can't tell if the story of the dragon king is true or not, but this Jiang God seems to have such a thing.

But why is this Jiang God similar to the image of the 'old immortal' in the Five Poisons Sect's "Immortal Karma Map", as high as nine out of nine?

Could it be that the ancestors of the Five Poisons Sect were once the people of this riverside? Got the gift of this river god?

He couldn't figure out the relationship, so he shook his head and gathered his thoughts, thinking of the purpose of his trip, and asked, "Uncle, I've seen your ferry, how much silver does it cost to sell?" ”

Liu Laohan thought about it for a while, thinking of offering a high price for him to cut it, so he said in a deep voice with a straight face: "Ten taels!" ”

"Good!"

Xu Boqing took out a silver ingot from his body and put it on the table, and said with a smile: "From now on, the ship will be mine." ”

“……”

Liu Laohan blinked a little blankly, and after seeing the silver ingot on the table, he hurriedly took it and put it in his mouth and bit it, and after confirming that it was real silver, his old face became a ball.

"Well... Good... Good! ”

He was afraid that Xu Boqing would regret it, so he hurriedly put the silver in his pocket, and then pulled him to the shrine, grinning: "Housheng, you just bought a boat, you have to come to worship the god of the river, and you can keep you safe in the future~"

“……”

Xu Boqing didn't want to worship, but when he saw Liu Laohan staring at the side with burning eyes, it was not easy to refuse, so he thought about making a salute.

As a result, as soon as his waist bent down, the statue of the god Jiang placed in the shrine of the main hall shattered into several pieces with a bang...

“？？？？”

“？？？？”
