25, Legend (Thank you for the big reward)
Sutina contacted the seller according to the phone number on the small card, and the seller said that there was indeed beef and mutton for sale, but she had to go to a place to buy it.
After making the call, Huo Yu looked up the address given by the seller on the map, which was a village and town called Yamuzha outside Semarang.
Song Wenbin and others, who got the address, drove the purchased vegetarian food and fruits back to the ship first, and then drove to the villages and towns to buy meat.
The village is located on the outskirts of the mountains outside Semarang, a distance of twenty or thirty kilometers, and the rain had stopped when the three of them drove up the foothills. Under a gloomy sky, smoke rises slowly from the tropical palm trees.
Song Wenbin held the steering wheel and looked along both sides of the road, and could see that there were many temples built here, including *** style, Hindu style, and Buddhist style, which were quite exotic.
Looking at these temples, Song Wenbin thought to himself that it was really dark under the lights, and while Ramadan was taking vows, a black market selling meat was opened near the temple.
It didn't take long to open, and soon, Song Wenbin found a small town in a temple surrounded by mountains, and the town was quite lively with people. There are many foreigners with high noses and deep eyes, and there are many butchers who sell mutton and beef in the market, and even some fishmongers who use large plastic basins to sell all kinds of fish caught from the sea. Although the time is close to dusk, there are no fewer people.
That's just like the words...
Song Wenbin thought to himself, he found the bazaar, he was in a good mood, and hurriedly beckoned the people of the program team to come down to buy things, and hurry back to the boat after buying things.
After getting off the bus, Song Wenbin's trio bought a lot of beef and mutton at the meat stall with a big bag, as well as more than a dozen catties of frozen chicken thighs. was purchasing, Su tina suddenly pushed Song Wenbin a few times.
Song Wenbin didn't know why, and asked, "What are you doing?" ”
Sutina pointed to a shop not far from the bazaar, a colourful shop that stood out among the crowds of eateries and butchers. Of course, what is more conspicuous is that there is a statue erected at the door of the shop, which is wearing the official uniform of the Ming Dynasty, wearing a long sword, and its eyes are blazing, and it looks very majestic.
Even if no one told Song Wenbin, he could see the identity of the statue, almost subconsciously, he put down the work in his hand and walked towards the shop.
The three of them came to the side of the shop and stared at the statue for a while.
Huo Yu was surprised: "Is this a statue of Zheng He?" ”
"Yes." Sutina said: "There are still many people here in Semarang who worship Zheng He, and there are many temples of Sambaogong. If we have time to buy meat later, we might be able to find a temple to visit. ”
Song Wenbin looked at the statue of Zheng He next to him who had climbed up with him, and the head of the statue was touched and shiny.
"Can this burn some incense?" Song Wenbin asked.
Sutina rolled her eyes and said, "You still blame superstition, don't worry, no one will bless you even if you burn incense, we have to believe in science and logic." ”
Song Wenbin didn't care about Su Tina's words, and he walked into the store, where there were a large number of statues of all kinds. There are all kinds of images, Buddha's, Bodhisattva's, Indian demon gods, Zheng He's, Guan Gong's, and even Trump's.
The boss was an old Chinese, leaning back in a chair and smoking a cigarette.
Song Wenbin came to the old man's side and asked, "Is there incense for sale?" ”
The old man raised his eyelids and glanced at Song Wenbin, took out a bundle of incense from under the table and threw it to him.
Song Wenbin dismantled the incense and was about to pay, but at this time, he saw a peculiar statue behind the old man, which was composed of nine dragons entrenched together.
Looking at the statue, Song Wenbin was a little dazed, because he still remembered that on the clue Su Tina gave him, it said that the three treasures were locked in a Nine Dragons cabinet.
At this moment, Sutina, who entered the store, also saw the statue, she was shocked, rushed to the counter, pointed to the statue behind the boss and asked loudly, "Boss, what are you?" ”
The old man was startled, turned his head to look, and said, "Well, this is the Dragon King of Sharjah." ”
"Sharjah Dragon King, what kind of god is that?" Sutina asked immediately.
"Oh, this thing is the local earth god, also known as the Dragon King of Dobao." The boss said nonchalantly.
"There is no allusion." Sutina took out a small notebook and asked with a serious face.
"I don't really care about the allusion, anyway, it's an ancient local legend, that there is a dragon king of Sharjah in the sea, who is greedy by nature and has countless treasures. And the ships that possess the treasures it fancies, without exception, will be cursed by it and sink to the bottom of the sea. Therefore, before sailors go to sea, they will throw some paper money into the sea to pray that the dragon king of Sharjah will not take a fancy to the cargo on his ship. ”
As he spoke, the boss smiled whimsically, revealing a mouthful of red teeth chewing on the betel lang. "Do you want to buy it, just give 1,000 yuan."
If it was before, Song Wenbin was afraid that when he heard such a thing, he would laugh and laugh, which would be a legend and a joke, but at this moment, he couldn't laugh, just looked at the two colleagues beside him.
The faces of the two colleagues were also very solemn.
Sutina quickly recorded it in her notebook and asked, "Then since you have the Dragon King of Sharjah Luo in your store and Zheng He at the door, is there any intersection between the two?" ”

"Hey~?"
The boss put away his smile and looked at Su Tina with a straight face: "Do you still know a lot about this female doll, yes, there are also offerings in many Sanbao temples of the Dragon King of Sharjah, because among all the ships cursed by the Dragon King of Sharjah, only one survived, and that was the former Sanbao Gong of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng He." In order to obtain Zheng He's treasure, the Dragon King of Sharjah also got the secret treasure that made the Dragon King of Sharjah Luo salivate, and the Dragon King of Sharjah Luo caused a huge storm in order to obtain Zheng He's treasure, but in the way of the Celestial Empire and the Tao of the Three Bao Gong, the Dragon King of Sharjah Luo just accepted Zheng He's treasure and let him and his fleet leave. Therefore, most of the people who go to the Sanbaogong Temple also have this thought, hoping that Sanbaogong can bless the smooth sailing....."
The old man chattered with great interest, and then sold the statues in the store, saying that his goods were all very effective by the master.
Song Wenbin didn't buy the statue, and after leaving the store, the three of them looked at each other.
"What do you think?" Song Wenbin elbowed Huo Yu.
Huo Yu raised his eyebrows and spread his hands, "I don't think much of it." ”
"Superstition." Sutina said firmly: "Such legends were common in ancient times, but this at least shows one thing, Zheng He did encounter a storm outside Semarang, and we are not wrong in looking for a place." ”
"Okay...."
Although Su Tina said so, Song Wenbin still put a stick of incense on Zheng He, the third baogong at the door of the store.
As soon as the incense was finished, a girl ran over on the other side of the street panting, shouting as she ran: "I'm tired of the teacher, I'm tired of the teacher, it's not good!" ”
Song Wenbin saw that the person who came was a girl with glasses, she was Li Wenwen, the only female photographer in the film crew, she usually didn't have much to say, she would only follow the director quietly to shoot, and rarely showed such a panicked appearance.
"What's going on?" Song Wenbin hurriedly supported his colleagues, "Say it slowly, don't be in a hurry." ”
"I'm tired of the teacher, Director Huo." Li Wenwen panted and said, "Director..... Director..... Director: He was arrested. ”
"What?"
Song Wenbin didn't react for a while.
"Director him.... He took a camera everywhere and was arrested....." Li Wenwen said in a panic.
"What the hell, who took it?" Huo Yu's eyes widened.
"It looked like a couple of Indonesians smashed the director's camera and dragged him over there." Li Wenwen pointed to the col on the other side and said, "I was buying fish nearby and saw it. Wei Ning, Li Chenliang, and Bobo were all arrested. ”
"Holy..."
Song Wenbin was annoyed in his heart, or else that this guy Baoli was really enchanted. This place is originally a gray area, and I honestly bought the meat and left, and I wanted to shoot anything I saw.
At this time, the old man who sold the statue came to the door of the store with his waist bent, and when he heard the conversation between several people, he sneered strangely: "Young man, the meat butchers in this place are all local gangsters, and they are very discreet (anti-harmonious) Chinese, I suggest you call the police." ”
With that, he used a hook to pull down the roller shutter door of his shop.
After listening to the words of this old Chinese, Song Wenbin's faces became a little bad for a while.
Even though he rarely watches the news, there are some things in this world that seem to be born with him, like a familiar piece of music, which is familiar to you from the first time. For example, Indonesian flower shooting.
Song Wenbin hurried back to his truck, opened the door and said to Li Wenwen: "Quick, take us to the director's side." ”
The four of them hurriedly got into the car and rushed to the scene of the incident according to Li Wenwen's guidance, and when they passed near an overcrowded meat stall, he could indeed see broken camera fragments on the ground, and the owner of the meat stall was smashing the beef and mutton bones on the stall, looking at the vehicles with a gloomy face.
Not long after, Song Wenbin drove a van to the place Li Wenwen pointed to. The road here has been built to the end, and further on there is a suspension bridge.
The suspension bridge is wooden and rickety, and a few local Indonesian shepherds are barefoot and baated across the suspension bridge with a few goats. Dense rainforests are flanked on either side, and deep cliffs and tropical rivers beneath the suspension bridges.
Obviously, the van could not drive directly over the suspension bridge.
After thinking for a while, Song Wenbin ordered: "Sutina, you and Wenwen stay in the car and call the local police." Huo Yu, you and I can go in and see what is going on. ”
Sutina was taken aback and said: "Didn't you listen to them, it's very flower-shooting here, the directors have all gone in, what if you go in and can't get out, if you want me to say that it's better to call and wait for the police to come and go in together." ”
"Did you bring makeup with you?" Song Wenbin asked.
"I.... I think I brought it..."
Sutina flipped through the small bag she was carrying.
Song Wenbin was a little annoyed when he saw her slow movements, snatched the bag and flipped it up, and quickly took out a small powder box from it, and he couldn't help but say that he took out the brown powder used for shadow contouring inside.
"My perfect diary!!" Sutina screamed, "What are you doing!! ”
Song Wenbin didn't answer, pulled Huo Yu, who was the co-pilot, and pounced on her face with the powder, and the dust in the carriage was rising for a while. Huo Yu was very annoyed by him, she grabbed Song Wenbin's collar and roared: "I'm sick!" ”
"Makeup! Don't move!! Song Wenbin said: "It's good to pretend to be old in Nanyang with black spots!" ”
Huo Yu then reacted to what he was going to do, he was not angry. Song Wenbin blackened Huo Yu's face and neck, and then handed the makeup cake to Huo Yu and pointed to his neck and face. Huo Yu understood, took the makeup cake and threw himself on Song Wenbin's face, and from time to time he lifted the corners of Song Wenbin's chin and didn't let go.
Seeing Huo Yu tacitly holding her cosmetics and plopping them on Song Wenbin's face, Su Tina, who was sitting in the back seat, slowly pursed her mouth, she was a little unhappy.
Soon, Song Wenbin and Huo Yu both turned into chocolate complexions, and at first glance they really looked a bit like people from Nanyang.
I looked at the shepherds outside, and they had turbans on their heads. Song Wenbin pointed outside, Huo Yu thought about it, took out a sunscreen suit from the car, and directly tore it in half with his bare hands, half tied to Song Wenbin's head, and half tied to his head. In this way, they are very much like the Indonesians outside.
After doing all this, the two looked at each other, and looking at each other's appearance, they couldn't help but laugh.
Even Li Wenwen, who had been nervous, couldn't help but laugh when she saw the dress of these two people. Only Sutina didn't laugh, she shouted, "I'm going too!" ”
"Don't make a fuss." Song Wenbin said: "You stay in the car and communicate with the police." ”
Huo Yu also advised: "I locked the door, if there is anything wrong, you can drive away, leave us alone." ”
Sutina bit her lower lip, her cheeks bulging, and she snorted angrily.
