Chapter 11 Traveling the River and Praying for the Dragon
The three of them walked together in a group, and when they arrived at the wharf port, Golden Scale City and Shixiang City were not far apart, so they were also in the lower reaches of the Langjiang River, so both cities had the business of relying on water to draft.
For example, fishing, so in comparison, agriculture in Jinlan City and Shixiang City compared with other cities, the proportion is smaller.
Just like the motherland in the previous life is vast, the land is vast, and the landforms and climates of different regions allow the motherland in the previous life to produce most of the delicious ingredients.
Or because of the map, Qin Yuelou couldn't make a valid judgment on the planet where Dajing was located.
After all, there are plausible comparisons between past and present lives.
Golden Scale City, Qinhuai River, corresponding, isn't it the previous life... Is it?
Standing at the bow of the boat, Qin Yuelou didn't find anything suspicious, let alone any suspicious person, so he asked the Mu family father and son to stay calm and relax immediately.
There are no more passengers and no less passengers on the passenger ship, and it is the most labor-saving for the boatmen who swing the oars in the cabin.
It was already night, and although the boat was still moving, it was much slower, after all, the boatmen also had to sleep.
However, after a short period of travel, the ship was dropped from its anchor and anchored in one place.
Qin Yuelou felt strange, so she went to ask the boat boss.
"Ho Bow, why don't you continue?" Qin Yuelou asked the boat boss.
The so-called "bow" means the captain, Qin Yuelou also felt novel when he got on the boat, so he talked with the bow, and the bow ignored it at first, until Qin Yuelou threw a gold leaf, and this attitude changed sharply.
Therefore, now He Chuantou's attitude towards Qin Yuelou belongs to answering all questions, and there is still a little flattery.
For the sake of the right meal, there is no shame.
"Oh, Qin Gongzi, you don't know this, the Langjiang River itself is also muddy and sandy, occasionally mixed with stones or something, originally when we walked this road, it was basically unimpeded, but somehow, today's most experienced sailors found that there was a lot of sand and gravel piled up in front of us, and these sand and gravel piled up into a 'reef' in the water, and we couldn't get through it at all." He Chuantou said with a sad face.
Ancient ships had fixed channels, especially the main waterways and sea channels, all had predecessors to explore the way, or there were sailors who were familiar with the terrain, sailors would judge according to the undercurrents caused by the reefs, experienced sailors could observe during the day, and more experienced sailors could also observe through sight and hearing at night, and then draw a route to spread out.
He Chuantou originally went to sea, most of these boatmen and sailors are his old team, but also because the weather at sea is unpredictable, because a shipwreck caused some brothers to die in the belly of the fish, so He Chuantou took the remaining brothers back to the interior, relying on the water to draft, after all, although the danger of the big river is also high, but it is better than the changing sea.
However, they walked through the road itself, and there was no problem in the first place, but who knew that such a strange thing would suddenly happen today.
This was discovered by Fang Senyan, the most experienced sailor among them, if Fang Senyan hadn't discovered it too early, the ship would have crashed over, and the slightly better result would have been a sinking ship and a small number of casualties.
"Isn't it that the Dragon King of Jiang won't let us pass?" He asked himself in a muttered voice.
Qin Yuelou shook her head and expressed her opinion.
"God shouldn't be so malicious in playing with humanity, and if God is maliciously playing with humanity, then He is not God."
He Chuantou subconsciously took over the conversation and asked, "What is that?" ”
"The demon who should be killed."
Qin Yuelou said, and then added,
"But, I guess this thing was not done by 'God', but by some kind of demon."
Qin Yuelou thought of what Mu Xiaohuan said to him, not letting the boat go.
The ship had no other tributaries to sail on, so it had to return, so perhaps this was also in line with the old woman's words of "not letting you leave".
"So what's next?" Qin Yuelou asked He Chuantou.
"Alas, yes, go back, you have to tell the other ship bosses about this here, and everyone will have to clean up the underwater reef here? It stands to reason that this thing can't be done overnight, and we haven't passed through here for two or three days, so how can this happen? He shook his head helplessly, "Sen Yan said that it was not a reef, but a pile of sand and gravel, and the largest stone blocked most of the channel... I can't get through it, and in the middle of the night, I can't see the stone clearly. Bad luck. ”
When Qin Yuelou heard this, she thought for a while before she spoke.
"That's okay, I know a little bit about the method of sacrifice, maybe I can sacrifice to the River Dragon King, and let the River Dragon King send some water tribe soldiers from the Dragon Palace in the River to clean up these so-called reefs for us, you also said before, this reef is not a whole, but is made of sediment and stones, right?"
"Well, yes, that's right." Boss He looked at Qin Yuelou a little dumbfounded.
He originally felt that after Qin Gongzi threw off a golden leaf, he was the kind of rich boy who was generous and talked extraordinarily.
But this rich boy brother will still sacrifice to the Dragon King of the River? It's a little bit ... Fantasy, right?
"No, Gongzi Qin, do you really want to sacrifice to the Dragon King of the River?" Boss He was a little unconvinced, so he continued to ask.
Where will I sacrifice to the Dragon King of the River? But it's not like there's no other way, really.
"A little bit of understanding, a little understanding, a little understanding of so a hundred million points." Qin Yuelou said gently.
Boss He saw Qin Yuelou's answer like this, and he also had the idea of letting Qin Yuelou give it a try, after all, Qin Yuelou gave a golden leaf, and it didn't hurt if he failed.
"That... Do you need something? ”
"Well, a little paper will do." Qin Yuelou said, with a wave of his hand, he held a pile of papers in his hand, handed it to Boss He, and then said,
"Please also ask Boss He to distribute these papers, just fold them into aquatic creatures, any fish, shrimp and crab can be, if not, knead into fish, shrimp and crab, or cut into the shape of fish, shrimp and crab."
When you appear before people, you can't do it all by yourself,
Magicians, tricksters, even if they don't look for help, they will find irrelevant people and let these people check their props.
And Qin Yuelou waved his hand and conjured up a pile of paper, which also made Boss He believe Qin Yuelou's statement a little.
At that moment, Boss He took the papers away, woke up the boatmen and sailors, and let them act together.
Then, Qin Yuelou harvested a bunch of miserable paper fish, shrimp and crabs, the shape was a little difficult to complain about, but it barely looked like a fish or shrimp and crab, all of which were placed in the basket.
And these boatmen and sailors also gathered on the deck, carrying lanterns in their hands, wanting to see how Qin Yuelou sacrificed to the Dragon King of the River.
Qin Yuelou put the basket on the bow of the ship.
Since it is to be manifested in front of people, then this scene should be done a little more.
Stretched out his hand to scoop up a pile of paper creations, and then sprinkled them indifferently, and there were words in his mouth.
Although there is no special [Dragon Sacrifice God Wenshu], who is he Qin Yuelou?
He still had a bit of ink in his stomach, so he was rather idle, pronouncing clearly and slowly, and then threw the paper artifact down.
"The chaos is beginning to open, the universe is beginning to be laid, the dragon ancestor is painting the wilderness, and the mountains and rivers are the first life. The clouds are raining, and the rain is wet.
The nine sons of the Holy Descent, who are divided into powers, bear heavy burdens, and have a long life. The kiss is looking around, and there is no danger on the road. The pu prison sounded, and the melon was continuous. It is majestic and majestic, and the people are happy. Pixiu is prosperous, benefiting my financial resources. If you are a fish in summer, you will be safe in all seasons. Prisoner Niu Xicai, Gui Jiechuan. The lion king, the wandering is very good. Jiaotu door god, the house is safe. ”
With this sacrifice of merit, pray for the dragon king of the world:
Kindness and grace are added, bless me Cangli. Wishful and auspicious, long longevity. Wufu Minkang, peace and eternal enjoyment.
In the face of obstacles today, I hope that the Dragon King of the River will be merciful and send shrimp soldiers and crabs to clear the obstacles for us.
This treasure bead is not a tribute. ”
As soon as those paper creations came into contact with the mist, they turned into swimming fish, shrimp and crabs, and they were thrown into the river by Qin Yuelou alive.
And Qin Yuelou also condensed the water vapor and alienated it into shining beads, which were sprinkled into the river together.
After all, he doesn't know if there is really a Jiang Dragon King in Langjiang, but if there is, then he has nothing to fear, and he can be regarded as a sycophant first, and then give tribute, if he is really discovered, he will not be beaten.
Even if you really want to fight, you don't necessarily can't beat it.
But then again, dragons seem to be fond of "bulingbuling" things in both the East and the West, and the shiny beads are probably liked.
On the universal function of alienation.
These alienated creatures with life have also been planted by Qin Yuelou with some powerful techniques, and they are also trying their best to complete the tasks given to them by Qin Yuelou.
That's to remove the obstacles that have piled up in front of you.
Because it is only the accumulation of sediment and soil and stones, it is a little less solid in front of these fish, shrimp and crabs blessed by the technique of strength.
Smaller fish eat the sediment and nibble on the parts that can be eaten, while the larger fish and shrimp and crabs start from the bottom and pull the stones out or bulldoze them one by one.
If there is a problem with the base, then in the river, the so-called obstacle is also washed away.
Then the fish, shrimp and crabs worked together to push the boulder out.
Although the momentum and movement were slightly weakened under the water, some abnormalities in the water could still be heard and seen.
Qin Yuelou listened to the underwater situation with six ears, and when everything was over, it was just a little more time for a stick of incense.
Qin Yuelou put the basket down.
"Everyone, you can go, the fish, shrimp and crabs sent by the King of the River Dragon have helped us dredge the obstacles, and at the end of this voyage, remember to give the King of the River Dragon some more livestock tribute when you return to the ship." Qin Yuelou said with a smile and pushed his credit to the Dragon King of the River.
He handed the captain a cloth bag, which was full of gold, but it was all pure gold that he had alienated with stones.
"You have also worked hard all night, and you can also leave some subsidies for your family after you have purchased these sacrificial supplies."
Qin Yuelou commanded, but he saw that the boatmen and sailors in front of him looked behind Qin Yuelou in horror.
Qin Yuelou was puzzled, and then turned around.
But I saw it... A snow-white, beautiful and slender... White Dragon.
The beads that radiated light were still hovering around it by the water, and there were very many of them.
The white dragon lowered his head and looked at Qin Yuelou carefully and curiously.
The dragon claw stretched out and touched Qin Yuelou's head, as if to say, "You kid is very good, I like the beads you gave very much." ”
After touching Qin Yuelou's head, the white dragon left,
By the way, I also took away a lot of shrimp and crabs the size of a basin.
There are also giant fish the size of a small boat.
Qin Yuelou turned around and found that the eyes of the boatmen and sailors had changed when they looked at him.
