Chapter 421: The Cat God and the Cat Country
The boat stopped again beside the sailboat.
The Yaksha was vigorous and climbed up along the rope hanging down from the big boat, and in two or three strokes he touched the edge of the boat, turned over, and then got up and bowed respectfully to the bottom:
"I still have to thank Mr. for saving his life."
"I also thank Ye Gong for leading the way." Song You also stood on the boat, and said to everyone on the boat, "Thank you for your hospitality, and I will leave." ”
"Thank you to the gods for saving your life."
"Thank you ...... the gods"
The rest of the people also saluted in succession.
"I don't know the name of the immortal?"
Ship Master Jia couldn't help but ask.
Song You had no choice but to smile helplessly when he heard this, and said to him again: "The surname is Song Mingyou, a native of Yizhou Dao, who went to sea from Lan'an, Langzhou, the cat next to him is called Sanhua Niangniang, and the swallow is named Yan'an, he is the descendant of a god named Yanxian in the sky, if you go to the temple in the county town, you may be able to find the statue of his ancestors." ”
is to tell him that he is really not an immortal.
"It's almost noon, and the fog is about to clear, so you can get ready to set off."
After speaking, he arched his hand and went east.
Words and the sky changes——
A fresh breeze suddenly rose on the sea, blowing the surface of the sea, and the fog carried away with the wind, revealing countless fine particles in the air, and in just a moment, the fog dispersed.
This is often the case at sea, and the sky changes like a flip book.
The boat has gone a long way.
Song You traveled all the way east, rowing from daytime to dusk.
The sea has been calm, so calm that it seems that last night's storm never appeared, and there is not the slightest trace of it, perhaps this is also a kind of tolerance of the sea.
But it wasn't until it was dark that the swallow who flew back from the opposite direction of sunset told him that he had flown dozens of miles to the east, and had walked around for a long time, and he had not seen any beast country, or even an island as big or as big as the Yaksha country, that Song You reacted: The rowing day that Yaksha said may be two concepts for rowing a day with people, and he is so slow and leisurely, he may not be able to reach it for another day.
"Boom ......"
Song You simply dropped the oars.
No more scratches.
At dusk, there are only small waves on the surface of the sea, and the sunset hangs in the sky, reflecting countless small waves on the sea, flickering constantly, there is nothing in all directions, there are no continents and islands in sight, only small boats floating quietly on the sea, lonely and free.
The Taoist was half-lying with a coconut in his arms.
Little girl fishing on a boat.
Maybe it's because the sea is calm, and there aren't even many fish, maybe it's because the little girl has been fishing for a few days, and she is no longer a novice who has just learned to fish.
The little girl is very focused, as if waiting for her prey.
The Taoist is not in a hurry at all, just watching the sunset.
The sun gradually sank to the sea level, and the cut image of the horizon was the struggle of the day, and it was only a short time before the stars flipped up and occupied the entire canopy—a complete canopy that is hard to see on land, not a little incomplete, not obscured by the clouds, only full of stars, mysterious and shocking.
Suddenly there was a light underneath him.
Song You withdrew his gaze from the sky, and when he turned his head to look, his own Sanhua Niangniang was already on the side of the boat, poking her head out and staring at the sea without blinking.
There are many glowing jellyfish in the sea, or they may have been there for a long time, but after the sun has curated, it is their stage, these jellyfish swim lazily in the clear waters, and the number of them seems to be opposite to the starry sky overhead, illuminating the sea.
Sanhua Niangniang's face was also illuminated.
Song You saw that her eyes were wide and round.
"...... Uproar"
The little girl looked so earnestly that she couldn't help but stretch out her hand and paddle across the water, causing a ripple on the surface of the sea.
The jellyfish were not surprised at all, and remained lazy.
The skirt is shaky, and the tentacles are languid.
Song You noticed that there was also a little hazy red light in the quilt bag.
Take it out and take a look—
It was the stone that Yaksha gave me this morning, and Ye Xinrong left it to Song You at that time.
The surface of this stone is no different from that of a normal stone, gray and yellow, but inside it is a red crystal, which looks like a cloudy ruby with a red glow. Most of the surface of the stone is covered by this layer of gray and yellowish earth and stone, a very thin layer, the light is difficult to penetrate, and it appears hazy, only a small point is not covered, so it emits a brighter light.
"Tap it like a beam of light ......"
Song You remembered Ye Xinrong's words.
So he took the stone in one hand and patted it with the other.
"Smack......
The stone shone brightly, and if it did, it shone through the only small window that was not covered by a layer of earth and stone, and struck obliquely on the surface of the sea, as a red spot.
"...... Uproar"
A hand waved over in an instant, making a splash on the surface of the sea, and the waves rippled.
The jellyfish were finally frightened and left one after another.
"Huh?"
Sanhua Niangniang stared at the water in confusion, looking left and right, turned her head again, looked at the Taoist and finally found that something was wrong.
"What's that?"
"Stones."
"Why is it bright?"
"Because it glows."
“?”
The little girl stared at the Taoist, and the Taoist stared at her.
A moment later—
The boat kept flashing red light, and the three-flowered cat fluttered left and right, catching it, causing the boat to shake constantly, and the water was also rippling.
The sky is full of stars, and the sea is full of blue light.
……
It's another day's trip.
The boat was still lonely on the sea, and not even a single seabird could be seen in the sea, except for a small black dot that flew from a distance, spread its wings, and slid all the way to the top of the boat.
"Sir, I still haven't found Oshima." "But there is a small island in front of us, about twenty or thirty miles long from east to west, and about ten miles wide from north to south, and it is only as big as a few villages, and there are many land animals on it, and I don't know where they came from. ”
"Animals on land?"
"There are cats, dogs, and monkeys, and most of them are eating and sleeping." Yanzi was a little embarrassed, "I don't dare to fly closer." ”
"That's ......"
Song You looked at the last coconut that had been opened on the boat, and the water on it was already half drunk, so he said to him: "The fresh water and coconuts prepared on our ship have also bottomed out, and we have to find a place to make some supplies, so let's go up and visit." ”
"I'll lead the way."
"Hard."
And the swallow flew ahead to lead the way.
The boat sailed against the sunset, farther and farther.
A small island slowly appeared in front of him.
"...... Uproar"
Song You followed the swallow's guidance, circled the island half a circle, landed on a beach, and towed the boat away from the shore.
Sanhua Cat also found an opportunity and jumped off the boat.
However, when Song You dragged the boat to a position farther away from the waves, he turned around and saw Sanhua Niangniang standing on the beach, motionless, staring straight at a bush in the distance.
"What's wrong?"
The three-flowered cat turned its head and glanced at him, but quickly turned its head back and continued to stare at the grass.
Song You followed her gaze.
The grass was lush, but if you carefully discerned it, you could vaguely see a pair of eyes, hiding in the grass and staring at Sanhua Niangniang.
It seems to be a cat too.
"Meow!"
Suddenly, there was a low cat meow in the grass.
"Boom la la ......"
The grass and trees in the distance were shaking, shaking and getting closer and closer, it seemed that many things were rapidly approaching here, and after less than a moment, I saw cats of different colors and sizes jumping out of the grass, surrounding Song You, hunched their backs, and stared at him.
"Huh?"
Song You was stunned for a moment, looked at them for a moment, and then bowed and said: "Don't panic, your surname is Song Mingyou, but Da Yan is a Taoist, who has drifted so far on the sea, but after drinking the freshwater coconut and wanting to find an island to replenish it, there is no malice." ”
The method of communicating with animals is used.
As soon as the words fell, the cats were really stunned.
However, one of the black and white cats opened his mouth and said in a deep voice: "Nonsense! If you are adrift here, how can you speak my Chinese? ”
“?”
Song You was stunned for a moment.
Sanhua Niangniang was also stunned for a moment.
The swallows were stunned for a moment.
A person, a cat and a bird turn their heads from side to side and look at each other.
Immediately, Song You arched his hand and said, "What you said at your feet, isn't it the language of Dayan?" ”
"What geese?"
The black and white cat was still staring at them.
Especially staring at Sanhua Niangniang.
Intuition told them that this three-flowered cat was very difficult to mess with, and it had a temperament that a king and a general did not have.
Just then, another voice came from behind him.
"Panic about what? What is the noise? How can you be so rude to a guest? A big orange cat walked over with lazy steps, and its voice was thick and magnetic, "Our language originally came from the Celestial Empire in the overseas continent, and our ancestors also came from there, more than ten years ago, there were people from the Celestial Empire who drifted here, you little cubs don't know, what kind of system?" ”
"General Huang......"
A group of cats suddenly retreated, returned to their original state, and no longer fried their hair, but all sat down upright, and sat around Song You again, but they neither licked their paws nor tickled, showing a very high courtesy.
Song You was stunned.
I saw the big orange cat coming over, and the person stood up and saluted Song Parade.
"Polite, Your Excellency."
"Be polite at your feet."
"Huh? I call you Your Excellency, why do you call me Foot? Can't look down on me? ”
"Say it's used to it, forgive your sins." Although Song You was strange, he still maintained the number of courtesies and saluted it again, "Your Excellency, you are polite." ”
"I am Huang Zhuang, the patrol general of the Tanuki Country, what do you call it?" The orange cat asked.
"Under the surname Song Mingyou, he is a Taoist in Yizhou, Dayan State, according to the customs of Dayan, the locals mostly call Taoists Mr." Song You said, and looked at the stupid Sanhua cat beside him, "This is the Sanhua Niangniang who travels the world with me, and she is the cat god next to Jinyang Road in Dayan Kingdom." ”
"It's polite~"
Although Sanhua Niangniang was stunned, falling into thinking and doubting Maosheng, she also habitually replied.
"Cats, cat gods?"
A group of cats were shocked when they heard this.
"It is indeed the cat god that the people of Dayan once believed in." Song You said for her, "But she hasn't been a cat god for a long time." ”
"What do you have to be called a cat god?" The orange cat looked at her suspiciously.
"Sanhua Niangniang is very powerful." Song Lobby.
"Sanhua Niangniang will spit out real fire, and if she can invite the mountain god, she will conjure up a lot of big wolves and tigers!" Sanhua Niangniang subconsciously explained, and when she opened her mouth and spit it out casually after speaking, it was a real fire.
"Canopy!"
The flames spilled out in a very large area, and the temperature was extremely high.
Suddenly there was a series of cat screams.
"Meow!!"
All the cats present seemed to have exercised, and they all jumped up on the spot, and they were very frightened.
After landing, I couldn't help but look at each other.
Where have they ever seen anything like this?
I was shocked for a moment and couldn't believe it.
"Disrespectful, disrespectful."
General Huang was much more honest, and quickly straightened up and saluted.
Sanhua Niangniang still opened her eyes.
Sometimes he turned his head to look at his Taoist priest, and sometimes he glanced at the orange cat who could only speak, and he didn't know how to respond for a while.
The swallows flew in the sky and did not dare to come down.
There are so many cats, it's so scary to the birds.
