"...... Uproar"

There were a series of people kneeling on the big boat, most of them disappeared from Song You's sight, and from the small boat up, only the heads of the people at the very edge could be seen.

You can still faintly hear the sound of a knock.

It's the sound of your head hitting a plank.

At the edge of the boat, a man kowtowed and shouted to the bottom: "Thank you for saving your life last night!" Thank you for saving your life! ”

The rest of the people immediately chimed in.

"Thank you to the gods for saving your life......"

"Thank you ...... the gods"

"God bless, ......"

I don't know how many people shouted together, and most of the voices came from behind the planks that Song You couldn't see.

Song You once smelled the smell of faith.

"Just helping ourselves." Song You waved his hand, as if to dispel something, raised his head and said, "Everyone, please get up quickly, and bow down again, you will have a long life next." ”

"It's really a fairy ......"

"Fairy master, ......"

"Who said it wasn't, this vast sea, if it wasn't for the gods who came down to save us, a small boat, how could it come here?"

Unexpectedly, after everyone heard that he didn't take credit, they were stunned for a moment, and they felt that he was a god.

Most of the merchant ships that go to sea are profiteering.

The merchants of the coast believed in the gods the most.

These ships carried silk and porcelain out, and the exchange for them was real money, if it was an ordinary person, no, it was an ordinary fairy, who saved their lives on the boat, how could they not ask for anything in return?

The gods in the story helped the woodcutter and the medicine picker in the deep mountains, and they had to ask people to go out and set up a temple for him for a few years to offer incense.

But I only heard the Taoist on the boat say:

"It's just a person from Yizhou, who has traveled here, and heard that there are many big demons and ghosts overseas, and strange legends, so I specially set up a boat to go to sea to visit and explore."

"Strange legends?"

Another person on the side of the boat raised his head and looked at Song You in awe and timidity.

This man had an ugly and hideous face, his shoulders were much wider than those around him, and he seemed to have an unusually strong physique, and he could imagine his height just by looking at his upper body.

Song You naturally also looked at him.

At this time, the person who was the first to speak on the boat saw this, glanced left and right, and hurriedly said: "If the immortals don't dislike it, it is better to get on the boat and sit down, so that we can thank the immortals." ”

"It's fine."

Song You smiled slightly, agreed, and then said to them: "But the people kneeling above have to get up first, don't kneel again, if you really want to thank you, take out the best tea on the ship, and ask the cook on the ship to cook a good meal for us." ”

Suddenly there was an uproar on board.

It was not only the movement of people getting up, but also the sound of people's amazement, as if they couldn't believe that the gods were really going to come on the boat.

"How did the immortals come up?"

The man who spoke first asked, with sharp eyes.

However, he did not ask the gods whether they would soar through the clouds, nor did he ask whether he wanted the people on the boat to lower the ropes, but respectfully continued: "Do you want me to wait and greet you?" ”

"No need, although I am not a true immortal and do not have the ability to ride the clouds, I can also get on the boat."

Song You stood still at the bow of the boat.

The big boat approached them at first, but now although the people on board stopped rowing, the boat did not stop instantly, but continued to glide slowly towards the small boat, but at a slower and slower speed. By the time the Taoist finished speaking, the big boat was basically close to the small boat, and at this time there was no speed and strength, and only lightly touched the small boat.

The people on the boat were almost lying on their stomachs, watching intently.

I saw the Taoist bend down and wave to the cat, and the cat immediately jumped into his arms, and then the Taoist held the cat and walked forward on the boat.

Walking to the front of the boat, the pace does not stop.

He continued to step on the hull of the big ship.

The hull of the ship had always been narrow at the bottom and wide at the top, but in fact it was more than vertical, but under his feet, it seemed to be flat, and he stepped on the hull with ease, his body almost parallel to the sea, and even leaned towards the more dangerous side, and walked up step by step.

Walking to the boat, his body slowly straightened again.

Everyone on the boat looked at him in a daze, and they didn't know what to do.

"Under the surname Song Mingyou."

Song You put down the cat, smiled slightly, and introduced to the cat on the ground: "This is Sanhua Niangniang." ”

Everyone quietly looked at the three-flowered cat.

The wiser ones had already thought of the girl in the tricolor dress on the boat last night, who had risen this morning and disappeared again, under the brief reflection of the thunder and lightning.

"Plop Plop ......"

The swallow flapped its wings and flew to the edge of the boat.

"This is my swallow, called Yan'an."

“……”

Everyone on the boat was stunned again, and finally came back to their senses.

"The villain's surname is Jia Jian'an, and this ship is the villain." The person who spoke first saluted and said, "I've seen Immortal Song Chang, Sanhua Niangniang and Yan'er Immortal Chang." ”

"Villain Ye Xinrong." The man with an ugly face and a tall and strong face also saluted and spoke, "I have seen a few immortal elders. ”

Standing in front of Song You at this time, I realized how tall he looked, I am afraid that he is half a head taller than General Chen, and his figure is even more majestic, with that face, it gives people a strong sense of oppression. However, his posture and accent were very standard, and his etiquette was very exquisite, bowing slightly lower than that of the shipowner.

These two should be the highest-ranking people on board.

After they finished reporting their names, the others tacitly acquiesced that they were not qualified to report their families in front of the immortal chief, and they only saluted together, and their voices were mixed.

"Immortal Chief, please."

Jia Jian'an invited Song You into the cabin, hurriedly prepared tea for him, and asked someone to cook, leaving only Ye Xinrong to wait.

"Does Sanhua Niangniang also drink tea?"

"She doesn't drink it, just pour her a glass of water, and if there is sugar, it's best to add some sugar."

"It will be according to the immortals."

"Don't call me an immortal, not an immortal, just a Taoist who knows some spells." Song You said, turning his head to look at Ye Xinrong, "Looking at the face at your feet, it doesn't look like a Dayan person?" ”

"Back to ...... Hui Immortal Master ......"

"It's okay to call Mr. or Taoist."

"Mr. Hui, the villain is a Da Yan person, but the bloodline is not correct, and there is a grandmother on the ancestor who is a Yaksha on the sea." Ye Xinrong replied.

"Oh?"

Song You came with some interest.

Even though Ye Xinrong was tall and mighty, and his face was so hideous that he could stop a child's night cry, he also bent over respectfully at this time, and when he saw that he was interested, he hurriedly said:

"The villain's great-grandfather was exiled in a foreign Yaksha country, intermarried with a local dominatrix, and then gave birth to an heir."

"Can a man intermarry with a Nakshatra?"

"Naturally."

"I love to hear these stories." Song You said to him, "Can you explain it in more detail?" ”

"This ......"

Ye Xinrong scratched his head for a while.

On the contrary, it was the owner of the ship Jia who handed over tea to Song You, and at the same time urged him to speak quickly.

Ye Xinrong had no choice but to speak slowly:

"Sir didn't know that the villain's great-grandfather was a shipwright at sea. Once went to sea to run a merchant in the long-armed country, encountered a storm halfway, was knocked into the sea, wandered for a day, arrived at a small island, the island is full of fierce yakshas, tall and tall, green face and fangs, fierce and vicious, eat animals and skewer skulls and stick them in the ground, as if primitive people do the same.

"When my great-grandfather saw this, he knew that he had probably come to the legendary Yaksha country, so he quickly found a remote cave and hid.

Little did he know, however, that there was a dominatrix living in this cave.

"My great-grandfather was caught right away.

But fortunately, the dominatrix saw that he was handsome, and did not eat him, but tied him up, raised him, and brought him raw meat to eat every day. As the days went by, feelings developed between the two. The dominatrix taught my great-grandfather the words of the Yakshas, and my great-grandfather taught the dominatrix to make a fire and roast the meat for eating, and eventually spread it throughout the Yakshas. ”

Song You couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this: "Seeing that he was handsome? ”

"I heard it's ......"

Ye Xinrong scratched his head again.

Song You smiled and brought tea to drink: "Please continue." ”

"That dominatrix is the great-grandmother of the villain.

"In the following ten years, they gave birth to two sons and a daughter in the Yaksha country, but my great-grandfather has always missed the civilization and wealth of Dayan, and he thinks about it every day, and wants to return to Dayan every day.

"I heard that in the past ten years, there have been many shipwrecks in the sea, but my great-grandmother knew that he wanted to run, and she watched him very strictly, and never allowed him to run. It was a long time before he finally found an opportunity to leave by boat, and with him a son, my grandfather. ”

Ye Xinrong paused as he spoke:

"My grandfather was the son of a man born of a union with a Nakshatra, and he was not wiser than a human or braver than a Nakshatra, but he was wiser than a Nakshatra and braver than a man. After my great-grandfather taught him etiquette, he sent him to the barracks to join the army, and because he was born with great strength, superior in force, able to fight bears and tigers, and able to kill demons and ghosts, he soon made military achievements, became a captain, and later became a general. ”

"And later?"

"Later, my father and two uncles also inherited the courage of my grandfather, and their positions in the army were not small, but many years ago they were slandered by traitors, on the grounds that we are a foreign race but are in charge of the military power in Yangzhou, the court made my grandfather and my uncle lose their positions one after another, and when it came to the villain's generation, they had to run with the ship."

When the owner of the Jia boat heard this, he added: "Ye Gong is honest and brave, I don't know how many times thanks to him." ”

"It's a good story." Song You drank tea and praised.

"Sir, have you ever been to Yangzhou?"

"Not yet."

"If Mr. has been to Yangzhou, he must have heard this story a long time ago. The rumors of my great-grandfather were also very spread in Yangzhou, and by now, they have already spread into various forms. The villain is stupid, maybe what Mr. heard in Yangzhou is more interesting than what he heard from the little man's mouth. ”

"Then you have to go to Yangzhou to find out."

Song You smiled at them, and then said: "I heard that the sea has not been very peaceful recently, and many merchant ships in Langzhou dare not go to sea, why are they still drifting on the sea?" ”

"There's no way around it." "We already went to the Longarm Country last year, but we also heard that the sea is not very peaceful, but we can't stay in the Longarm Country all the time. So after staying in the country of Long Arm for half a year, we heard that it had been a little more peaceful recently, so we hurried back. Unexpectedly, I was shipwrecked. If it weren't for the gods, we would have been buried at the bottom of the sea. ”

"Longarm Country?"

"A country thousands of miles overseas, everyone has long hands and knees, is very dexterous, and is rich in silver."

"I see."

Master Jia glanced at him, then looked at the descendants of the Yaksha, and continued: "In addition, Ye Gong is very brave, and there are some little demons and ghosts on the sea, who are afraid of him, and he can speak Yaksha words, and will respect the Sea Dragon King, who has kept us safe and sound all these years, and has also given us some confidence. ”

"Respect the Dragon King of the Sea?" Song You became interested again, "Is it just throwing livestock into the sea like last night?" ”

"Exactly." Captain Jia nodded.

"This is the tradition of the Yaksha country, the Yaksha country has always worshiped the Sea Dragon King, saying that the Sea Dragon King loves to eat pigs, sheep and dog meat, and if he throws pigs, sheep and dog meat into the sea, the Sea Dragon King will not be embarrassed, and will bless him." Ye Xinrong said with some embarrassment, "Actually, the villain doesn't know the truth either. ”

"Has the Sea Dragon King eaten these sacrifices?"

"We've never seen him eat at the old man's house." Jia said, "It's just that nothing has happened over the years." ”

"That's ......"

Song You recalled the scene from last night.

The Sea Dragon King didn't seem to be interested in the sacrifices they had cast, and he didn't mean to bless them at all.

It's a light to say that there is no blessing......

Come to think of it—

How could such a big demon be interested in just livestock?

Most of it is just a rumor of the Yaksha country, an unfounded tradition, and the reason why the owner of the Jia ship has been running at sea for many years without incident is just luck, or normal situation.

It has nothing to do with the Sea Dragon King.
