Chapter 367: There is a dragon underwater

Zijun is really remote.

Even though this is already Toyosu, as the group continues to go south, it is getting closer and closer to Zigun, but you can ask people on the side of the road for directions, and when you ask about Zigun, there are often people who don't know. Even if I know most of them, I only know a general direction, and I don't know how to go.

There is also a lack of roadstones on the roadside.

It's a bit of a dilemma.

Every time I ask for directions, I have to struggle for a long time, and calculate in my heart over and over again, so that every time I ask for directions, I have to pray in my heart that I can ask at one time.

After all, he slowly approached Zijun.

The land route is cut off, and you have to take a waterway for a while.

But it's only a short section, dozens of miles, down the river until Zijun.

The maid invited the coachman out of the box, and told the coachman to drive the horse to Yaozhou by another road, and then the group waited at the ferry for two days before a boat came.

The total cost of the boat is only a few dozen cents.

Song You took the boat and went down the river.

There are mostly low mountains on both sides, the vegetation is lush and messy, there is not much scenery at all, and it can not be compared with the scenery on both sides of the Liujiang River, but the hidden river under the boat is far wider and deeper than the Liujiang River, the river water is green, if the sky is reflected on a sunny day, it will appear greener and bluer, reflecting the clouds, it will also have a little bit to see.

Song You stood by the boat, staring at the lake.

A horse on the left stood with him, and a cat on the right was on the side of the boat, also staring at the river below, but watching what the Taoist priest was looking at.

The boatman rowed in the back.

Sure enough, there is no water god in Yinjiang.

There is a faint demonic aura.

There was a sound of footsteps behind him, and a beautiful figure came to him, standing side by side with him, in an elegant posture, and also looked down at the river, and then turned to look at him again.

"What is the Taoist looking at?"

"Nothing."

"I heard that there was a water god in Yinjiang, and Yinjiang was the two largest water systems in the Central Plains back then, and that water god was also powerful, but unfortunately he was not human." Miss Wanjiang shook her head and said, "Although the Heavenly Palace recognized him as a righteous god due to his strength and folk beliefs, it later abolished him, and then sealed many water gods, but at most it was only one place, one is only in charge of one section, and no water god can rule the entire hidden river anymore." ”

"I see."

At this time, the voice of the boatman came from behind him: "Don't worry, a few guest officers, Zijun will be here soon." ”

Hearing this, Song You turned his head and swept his gaze over the woman's cheeks, looked at the boatman, and asked, "The boatman is running a boat on this river, is the business okay?" ”

"Say too much, say less or less, depending on your luck, you generally go straight to Yaozhou, and the boat money for a trip is enough to eat for a month." The boatman said loudly while rowing, "There are not many people like a few guest officers who only go to Zijun. ”

"Have you ever heard of the water god in the river?"

"The god of water? Other counties have sayings, such as the first paragraph and the latter paragraph, all of which have sayings, and the offerings are different, but there is no one here. ”

"I've heard a story down there." Song You said to the boatman, "It is said that a long time ago, there was a water god in the hidden river, but he inadvertently lost something, and he was deposed by the sky. ”

"Hiss......"

The boatman inhaled slowly after listening to this, and at the same time showed a thoughtful look, as if he was thinking hard, and then said: "I have a little impression, I have heard similar things, but when you ask like this, the villain can't remember when and where he heard it, which time Xu ran the boat, and from which guest mouth." ”

"Zheng Xi?"

"I think I'm listening to it here! How does the guest officer know? ”

"I've heard about it." After Song You finished answering, he asked him again, "Do you remember anything about the boatman?" ”

"I can't remember." The boatman shook his head again and again and said, "But Zhengxi is not far away, if the guest officer drifts down this river, he will soon leave Fengzhou, and it will be Zhengxi by three hundred miles of waterway, if the guest officer takes the land route from Zijun, it will be difficult, basically no one will take the land route, and Zijun doesn't seem to have heard of a road to Yaozhou......

"That's right."

Song You nodded, and asked again: "I don't know if the boat family has heard of Zijun Yinnan County?" ”

"Yinnan? It sounds like the south side of the Hidden River. The boatman shook his head, "But the villain has never heard of such a place on the edge of the Yinjiang River, if it is Zijun, it is easy to say, hehe is not afraid of jokes from guest officials, the villain has run on the Yinjiang River for most of his life, no, on the right hand, as soon as he goes ashore, it is Zijun, but the villain has never been to Zijun except for sometimes going up to relieve his hands." ”

"It's also a common thing."

Song You didn't think it was strange, it had been like this since ancient times.

"This county is ......"

The boatman was about to say something more, when he suddenly heard a splash behind him.

When I looked back, I was shocked.

The oars almost fell into the river.

Today is obviously a sunny day, there is only a breeze on the river, but at this time, I saw the river tide behind me, the water surface is uplifted like a hill, and the waves are swept away, and the layers are pushed towards this side.

There is a big demon under the water.

"Boom la la ......"

The ship was not small enough to carry horses, but it was not big enough in the face of this wave.

The closer the river tide gets, the smaller the boat becomes.

"Oh my God......"

The boatman couldn't help but exclaim and sat down on the ground.

Ren He has been running on the river for most of his life, and he has never seen river demons or water ghosts, and he has never encountered such a scene.

"Don't panic."

The voice of a Taoist came from ahead.

I saw the Taoist squinting his eyes and staring at the water in the distance, his eyes seemed to be able to see through the blue water of the river to see something underwater, and then he picked up the bamboo cane unhurriedly and pointed towards the river.

"Buzz ......"

A circle of luster suddenly formed a dot where the bamboo cane meets the water surface, and it has been swept away in the blink of an eye.

"...... Uproar"

The waves in the distance are still moving forward, but they are noticeably smaller.

It seemed that what had caused waves under the water stopped, and the waves no longer had any more power, so every time they went forward, they were a foot shorter, and when they reached the boat, it was only a few feet high, but the gentle waves still lifted the wooden boat up, passed and fell again, making the wooden boat shake for a while.

As soon as the boatman got up, he was thrown to the ground.

The three-flowered cat and the jujube red horse were also noticeably shorter to keep their balance, and the cat's paws were already stretched out, clinging to the planks of the hull.

Only the Taoist and the two women stood still.

I saw that the water surface in the distance darkened slightly, and a huge dark figure floated up, poking out its head and eyes, staring at the wooden boat on this side.

It's a giant dragon.

Dragon, that is, crocodile.

In the past, there should have been more than one kind of crocodile active in Dayan, but now there is only one small crocodile that is very small, eats fish for a living, and is almost dangerous to people. But that wasn't the case before. The dragon is not used to describe this harmless little crocodile, but more often, it is the name of a large crocodile with a body length of nearly two feet and a fierce personality.

This kind of dragon can overturn small boats, dare to go ashore to eat people, extremely fierce, once flooded.

However, the power of humanity is too great.

Other countries don't know that Dayan is too powerful.

Previously, there was an official who was not accustomed to the dragon disaster, and the people suffered from it, so he wrote an article and threw it into the water, telling the dragon not to make trouble and go ashore, and ordered it to leave quickly, the legend is that the dragon did not listen, so the official took the people to start expelling the dragon, and now, this fierce dragon is almost extinct in the territory of Dayan.

Why do we need gods for the things of the world?

The dragon in front of him is afraid that it is dozens of zhang or hundreds of zhang long, and it is several zhang wide, and its whole body is wider than that of a smaller river, showing dark brown and almost black, just the head that sticks out of the water, just the crocodile kiss, you can easily swallow this wooden boat and hold it in your mouth, even in this wide and large hidden river, it still looks very huge.

A pair of eyes grew on the top of his head, the first to poke out of the water, parting a transparent instantaneous membrane, and inside was a pupil that was like a line, cold and emotionless, staring at this side.

The Taoist held a bamboo cane and looked at him.

The woman also stood next to him, not panicking, and looked at the dragon carefully, and the maid next to her smiled and looked more carefully.

Sanhua Niangniang shrank to the feet of the Taoist, looking at the dragon, afraid and envious.

"Who is so bold as to stand in my way?"

The sound came from nowhere, the sound of the urn was huge, and at the same time, the water surface was constantly trembling, as if it was boiling and not like it, just dancing countless tiny droplets.

"Oh my God! Dragon! ”

The boatman was so soft on the ground that he couldn't get up at all.

The huge dragon, so close, brings people a sense of fear and oppression that is indescribable.

"Why don't you hide it when you walk by on the water?" Song You looked at him with a cane, "I obviously saw a boat on the water, and I refused to hold back, aren't you afraid of hurting people's lives if you pass slowly?" ”

“……”

The dragon stared at him coldly and did not speak again.

It seems that he is consciously at a loss, and he feels that this is the realm of the world after all, and now it is a humane world, and the general trend of the underworld will not be delayed, and there is a heavenly palace in the sky to suppress it, and he does not want to conflict with people, staring at the Taoist and the woman on the boat for a while, and then slowly sank underwater.

The huge figure gradually disappeared under the blue waves.

This time I slowed down and passed slowly.

It was only when he passed under the ship that he swung his tail again, accelerated rapidly, and set off waves again, causing the hull to shake for a while.

Then he quickly went away with the waves.

"Lord Dragon King!

"Lord Dragon King!!

"Oh my God!"

That's when the boatman started yelling.

People like to call a lot of unknown things dragons, this habit has been a little demonic, sometimes not only see something that looks a little like a dragon, say it's a dragon, it's to see something that has nothing to do with the dragon's eight poles, like a beam of light, like a monster who doesn't know what suddenly appears and disappears, or some other incomprehensible thing, people see, because they don't know what this thing is, they are likely to say it's a dragon.

Not to mention this dragon.

The part that emerges from the water is still unimaginably huge, and it really looks like a legendary dragon.

The surface of the water slowly returned to calm, and the green was deep, except for the grasses and trees on both sides that had been knocked down and soaked by the water, and a huge thing had just passed by.

This is where the fear of this bottomless water comes in, and you never know what's underneath.

The boatman was comforted by Song You, and then he had the courage to continue to move forward, while Song You stood at the bow of the boat, looking into the distance, and fell into thought.
