Chapter 12 Carving a Boat for a Sword
Qin Yuelou got up and was brushing his teeth, as a delicate person, he knew the importance of maintaining his teeth, when a person did not clean his mouth and teeth for a long time, it would only cause the gums to die and cause teeth to fall out.
For the first twelve years of his life in Dajing, he used to bite the willow branches open and clean his teeth with fine salt.
But when the system comes, life is much more convenient.
Rinsing his mouth, Qin Yuelou put away his things and continued to look at the scenery on the boat,
The passenger ship has been running for eight days, and the speed is considered to be fast, because the weather is good and the wind is smooth, so the speed is much faster than expected.
According to Boss He's speculation, they will arrive in Pingjianggu Suzhou tomorrow morning.
In the past eight days, Qin Yuelou has given himself a small long vacation, without doing research or experiments, just standing on the side of the ship and watching the scenery.
What is the meaning of travel? Qin Yuelou didn't know, but he liked to see the scenery on the way.
Boss He also yawned and walked onto the deck, and when he saw Qin Yuelou, he greeted him warmly.
"Qin Gongzi, it's early, are you up so early? Have you eaten it? Boss He asked Qin Yuelou, very enthusiastic.
After all, Qin Yuelou made a generous move, and last night there was something strange, the white dragon in the river has a dignified and elegant posture, and there are so many shrimps, crabs, and giant fish, it is obvious that he was summoned by Qin Yuelou's sacrifice, and if he can have this kind of ability, he must be entertained well.
"Ah, morning." Qin Yuelou frowned, responded a little casually, and then took out the Zu'an Sword from the warehouse.
Boss He looked at Qin Yuelou and didn't know where to conjure an amber short sword... To be precise, it's a bit like a thorn, so thin and long that it would seem small even if it were held in the hands of a five- or six-year-old child for fun.
It's not so much a sword as it is like a long, thin chopstick, but slightly larger than the chopsticks.
"Qin Gongzi, you are... What do you mean? Boss He thought that Qin Yuelou was going to do something, and he was a little apprehensive.
If a god like Qin Yuelou wanted to kill them, it would be easy, so Boss He was apprehensive.
However, Yuelou ignored him, but took Zu'an's sword in his hand, without exerting any strength, the tip of the sword pointed downward, and then let go of his hand,
Zu An's sword fell straight down, fell into the water, and set off a small wave.
Qin Yuelou carved a mark on the side of the ship.
Boss He looked at Qin Yuelou's behavior like this, and the apprehension in his heart completely disappeared, and he turned into a confused one.
"Qin Gongzi, what are you doing here? That sword knew at a glance that it was expensive, and you just threw it into the water, isn't it some... Tyrannical ruin? β
Boss He is relatively cultured and knows how to say a [tyrannical thing].
"That sword is actually not as valuable as you think, and the raw material is just a piece of mortal iron." Qin Yuelou stood on the deck with his hands in his hands,
"It's just that the piece of mortal iron was made by my hands."
Boss He listened to Qin Yuelou's words, and heard some strange noises coming from the water.
He also walked to the side of the boat, looking at the waters below the boat, and bursts of red mist appeared in the already unclear river water.
The red mist was like mud and sand submerged in the water, and it was like ink streaks grinding in the water, and layers of bright red smudged in the river, spreading to all sides, and the waters around the boat were full of these bright red colors.
Boss He knew that Qin Yuelou was revealing his miracle again,
The smell of water mixed with the smell of rust is extremely strong.
Boss He suddenly realized.
Qin Yuelou is killing the demons in the water.
But... Is it really okay for him to throw his sword in the water like that?
Boss He pondered for a while, and then asked Qin Yuelou cautiously, with a respectful tone unconsciously in his tone.
"Mr. Qin, is it really okay to throw this sword of yours into the river like this?" Boss He asked Qin Yuelou.
"Do you see the marks I carved on the side of the ship?" Qin Yuelou asked Boss He, and then rubbed the passenger boat, "This is called 'carving a boat for a sword'." β
[The Chu people have a person who wades into the river, and his sword falls into the water from the boat, and he says: "It is the place where my sword falls." "The boat stops, and the one to whom it is contracted enters the water and asks for it. The boat has been done, but the sword is not, if the sword is like this, it is also confusing - Warring States LΓΌ Buwei "LΓΌ's Spring and Autumn Chajin"]
There is no such allusion in this world, but the truth will be understood.
Boss He scratched his head, but actually wanted to say: "The sword is sinking to the bottom, the ship is moving, it seems useless for you to carve the boat for the sword like this." β
No, it's absolutely useless.
But Boss He thought about it, Qin Gongzi is a god and a strange person, and it is impossible to guess with the common sense of ordinary people, so it is better not to talk too much.
So Qin Yuelou continued to stand on the side of the boat, looking at the river.
In fact, Qin Yuelou didn't notice that there was something wrong with the underworld at the beginning, but just wondered if there would be other water ghosts in the Langjiang River who had not been extradited by reincarnation, so he activated the Secret Eye.
The previous state of enlightenment had also improved his Channeling Dharma Body slightly, so this Channeling Magic Eye had a new change.
That is, it can be seen through, so although the water quality of the Langjiang River is a little turbid, you can also see some things underwater.
So Qin Yuelou found that there were many strange creatures that looked like people and fish around the boat.
These strange creatures are a dull grey green color, but only their bellies are white.
Most of the body is shiny and slippery, but it has a high ridge with scales on its back.
It had the vague features of a humanoid, but its head was fish-like, with large, bulging eyes that never closed.
On both sides of the neck, there are constantly quivering gills, and there are webbed hands and feet.
It was like a fish man, and according to the strange characteristics of the old woman that Mu Xiaohuan said, Qin Yuelou had some conjectures.
These under the water, I'm afraid they are those sharks who want to take revenge on the Mu family's father and son.
Qin Yuelou thought so, so he continued to think about it along this side.
"If you think about it this way, the old woman's status in the shark group seems to be very high."
Then Qin Yuelou saw some sharks holding sharp stones or iron tools in their hands, the purpose should be to chisel through the bottom of the boat, but they just held it, and did not act.
Qin Yuelou guessed that they wanted to take advantage of the night to scuttle the boat, and then jump onto the boat and kill it.
Then he used his mind to perceive it, and found that they did have this idea, but it was not because of the old woman, but because they were originally mermaids living in this water.
Perhaps it can be called a freshwater merman, who is doing the work of robbing houses here, abducting women from ships, killing men, and taking property.
What a merman, in fact, is some demon water bandits.
Although his conjecture was overturned, Qin Yuelou didn't think about letting them go, work like this, they would be staged again at this time of year.
So Qin Yuelou threw the Zu An sword down and let the Zu An sword guard the passenger ship.
But Qin Yuelou was also a little puzzled.
Since this is the waters of the Langjiang River, why doesn't the Dragon King of the River take care of these demons and water bandits?
Qin Yuelou didn't know, but he just had to make a move.
Although he killed these demon water bandits, Xiao Huangshu did not give a reward.
Therefore, Qin Yuelou thought that Xiao Huangshu also needed to kill those high-quality demons and monsters by himself.
However, he also used the water qi to collect the body tissues of these freshwater shark people, and prepared to conduct some research on the life cluster.
Humans don't have gills, so they can't live underwater, and simply replicating the gills of fish on the human body may not work, so these freshwater mermaids are the best research material.
Although Qin Yuelou is brave on land, if he goes into the water, he may not be able to do it.
Because he couldn't swim in his past life or in this life.
The passenger ship traveled all the way, and the red area also dissipated, and the demons and water bandits in this vicinity were probably wiped out by him, and the rest of them were also frightened and did not dare to approach.
Qin Yuelou instructed Zu An to explore more underwater, but there was really nothing else under the water, only fish, shrimp, crabs, aquatic plants, and some wreckage that had fallen to the bottom of the water.
After that, the passenger ship also arrived at Pingjiang Gusu safely, the passenger ship docked at the dock, and Qin Yuelou was the last person to get off the ship.
Boss He and a group of boatmen and sailors are all hugging Qin Yuelou, you and I are chatting with Qin Yuelou word by word, and even a little reluctant,
After all, it was Qin Yuelou who called Jiangzhong Bailong to help, otherwise they would have lost, not to mention that Qin Yuelou also generously gave a bag of gold.
Who is this guest? This is the God of Wealth Lucky Star.
Qin Yuelou was treated warmly, and could only smile faintly, after walking on the dock.
Qin Yuelou stretched out his hand to the bottom of the water and hooked his fingers.
Boss He knew that Qin Yuelou was begging for a sword.
Then, under the personal witness of Boss He and the boatmen, a small amber sword rushed out of the water like a milk swallow returning to its nest and flew to Qin Yuelou's side.
"Come back." Qin Yuelou grabbed the hilt of the sword and stuffed it into his sleeve.
Boss He subconsciously raised his head and compared, the place where Qin Yuelou stretched out his hand was the place where he left his mark.
Qin Yuelou waved his hand.
"The rivers and lakes are far away, and we are destined to see you again."
After speaking, Qin Yuelou turned around and followed the Mu family's father and son.
A group of sailors and boatmen looked at Qin Yuelou's departing back, only feeling free and indifferent.
"Carving a boat for a sword... What a carved boat for a sword... What a stranger. Boss He sighed.
The sailors around him saw Boss He and asked Boss He gossipily.
"Boss, do you know something?" Fang Sen, a resolute-looking sailor, asked Boss He sternly.
So Boss He spoke.
"I saw it with my own eyes, Qin Gongzi threw the sword into the water, and then, the perimeter of our ship was covered with blood..." Boss He said, sighing, and then continued.
"So I thought... Qin Gongzi's sword was thrown into the water to kill the evil demons, just to protect our boatload of people. β
