Chapter 218: Set sail

Just as he was about to leave, Liang Cheng suddenly remembered something, so he asked, "Master, what are the benefits of eating the Qinglan River saury?

Cheng Yunlin said: "Alas, in fact, there is no additional benefit to eating this saury, but its taste is really delicious. ”

"I see, in the bay of the Qinglan River, can you catch the Qinglan River saury every day?" Liang Cheng asked again.

Cheng Yunlin shook his head and smiled: "This Qinglan River saury is so precious, only one is worth thirty-eight spiritual coins, where can it be caught every day, it can only be caught once a month, and the specific day of the month can be fished in the net, then it has to be counted by experienced fish, but this month's fishing day is calculated, and it happens to be tomorrow." ”

Liang Cheng heard Cheng Yunlin say that the price of the swordfish was only thirty-eight spirit money, and he looked very satisfied, and sighed secretly, the heart of the Yuyang faction sitting in a well and watching the sky in this small place is information blockage, and he didn't know how many times the value of this swordfish would be doubled as long as it was trafficked to Wuning City, and now he was simply holding a golden bowl to ask for food.

Liang Cheng thought about it and asked, "Then how many fish can you catch in one catch?"

"You used to work on the dock every day, you don't know this?" Cheng Yunlin was a little strange.

Liang Cheng scratched his head and said with a smile: "I always felt that these things had nothing to do with me, so I didn't care. ”

"Hey, Yuyang. Cheng Yunlin said bitterly: "It's not for the teacher to say you, you can't close your eyes and listen like this, you have to know more about the outside world, otherwise you will miss a lot of opportunities." ”

When Liang Cheng heard this, he couldn't make a sound, but he slandered in his heart, who was the one who closed his eyes and listened, he didn't expect such an evaluation to fall on his head, and he would be taught a lesson by Cheng Yunlin because of this, which is really ironic.

"This Qinglan River saury, it can be said that it is a natural creation, the output is very limited, each voyage can catch more than 800, and the entry and exit will not exceed 50. Cheng Yunlin continued.

Liang Cheng quickly calculated: "Then according to three percent, in fact, every time you assist in fishing, the sect's input is less than 10,000 spirit money?"

Cheng Yunlin said: "This is also a lot, more than half of the expenses of the Yuyang Sect rely on this, and some rely on the output of the disciples to plant elixir, although it is not rich, it is already good compared to some small sects in other places." Besides, only 30% of the value of the fish is a rule set by the patriarch of this sect, which must not be changed. ”

"Then the fishermen harvest more than 20,000 dollars of saury every time, isn't that rich. Liang Cheng asked.

"Where is there such a good thing, that place in Qinglan River Bay is very weird, the water is full of sharp gold, because of Jin Kemu, so every time the fishing is completed, the fisherman's wooden boat will be greatly damaged, and the repair cost alone will cost a lot of money, not to mention that the fishing net must also be specially made, that thing is also very expensive, and it is also a big expense every time it is repaired, not to mention some other expenses, these costs add up to a lot. Okay, there are some specific things that will be explained to you in detail tomorrow when I get on the boat as a teacher, and it's not too early, so you can go and rest. Cheng Yunlin said.

"The water is full of sharp gold!" Hearing this, Liang Cheng suddenly paid a little attention, didn't he have the clue to look for sharp gold things everywhere recently? There was such a coincidental thing, I would have to take a good look at what was strange there tomorrow. Thinking of this, Liang Cheng is looking forward to tomorrow's trip even more.

Returning to the residence from Cheng Yunlin, Liang Cheng's two bodies looked at each other and smiled, and they became one, and suddenly the things that the two bodies experienced when they were separated were clear at a glance. A plan suddenly popped into Liang Cheng's mind, so he sat cross-legged on the futon and began to think about it carefully.

Early the next morning, Cheng Yunlin took Liang Cheng and three disciples to the dock not far from the mountain gate, only to see a fishing boat already waiting there, only to see that the appearance of this fishing boat is slightly smaller than ordinary fishing boats, but the position on the deck is still relatively wide, Liang Cheng thought that this was probably to leave a place for the people of the Yuyang faction to perform séance rituals on the deck. hacker

The three miscellaneous disciples were busy loading the boat with some items, while Liang Cheng, the young master, and Cheng Yunlin, the leader, stood with their hands in their hands, waiting for the three disciples to be busy packing all the things.

After a while, the three miscellaneous disciples carried their things onto the fishing boat, and then got off the boat and walked to Cheng Yunlin, waiting for his orders.

Cheng Yunlin said: "Yu Yang, can you see the difference between this fishing boat and ordinary ones?"

Liang Cheng listened carefully for a while and replied, "According to the disciple, several places such as the side and deck of this fishing boat have been reinforced, and the situation at the bottom of the boat is unknown, but I think it also needs to be reinforced." ”

Cheng Yunlin nodded: "You are right, these places are specially thickened, and after we finish this voyage, this ship will have to be repaired again, alas, this wear and tear is not small." Let's go, let's get on board!"

After saying this, Cheng Yunlin seemed to think of something, and said to the three miscellaneous disciples: "After getting on the boat, it's best for you to talk less or not at all, because the people of the fishing family beg for a life on this water every day, and survival is the most difficult, so there are a lot of taboos, don't talk nonsense, so as not to touch the mold." ”

Seeing that the three miscellaneous disciples nodded to show that they understood, Cheng Yunlin took Liang Cheng and them to the boat, and came to the open place on the bow deck.

Liang Cheng used to work at the wharf, and he knew more or less about the taboos of the fishermen, so he simply kept silent and only watched around with a pair of eyes.

I saw that this deck was a few feet wide, and it was a relatively large fishing boat, with several triangular red and white flags tied on both sides of the ship, and a pig's head tied with red cloth at the front of the deck, as well as a few bags, which were about to contain sacrifices such as rice and salt, which should be used to worship the dragon king.

In addition to Liang Cheng and other five monks of the Yuyang Sect on this fishing boat, there were seven people in total, except for the captain of the boat standing on the bow of the boat and burning incense and praying with a solemn expression, the remaining six people were holding a handful of lit rice stalks, and the thick smoke from the rice stalks smoked the stern and other key positions of the ship.

The whole process was very tedious, but the sailors looked solemn and meticulously followed the rules and took their time. After reading it, Liang Cheng felt that it was understandable, the so-called relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to eat the water, these people are the people who rely on the water to eat the water.

But it is not easy to beg for food in the water, for sailors, after the fishing boat opens the dock, his life is in the hands of the dragon lord, whether he can return to the shore is the dragon lord to say. Therefore, many rules have been formed, and there are many taboos, and there are many customs that must be completed meticulously when sailing, and there is no room for sloppiness. What's more, this voyage is to go to a famous and dangerous place.

About a quarter of an hour later, a sailor took a large rooster from the basket and handed it to the ship's boss. The captain took the rooster, bit its comb with his teeth, and carefully smeared the blood dripping from the cockscomb on both sides of the bow.

After wiping the chicken blood, the boat boss put away the rooster, walked over to the people of the Yuyang faction, bowed to Cheng Yunlin, and said, "Immortal Master, we are all ready, do you think we will sail now?"

Cheng Yunlin nodded: "Okay, you can sail." ”

"Set sail - untie the cable!" the captain of the ship commanded loudly, only to see the sailors doing their duties and starting to operate in an orderly manner, first untying the cables and setting off a firecracker, and then the sailors paddled and left the dock.

After the fishing boat left the dock for some distance, the captain of the boat shouted again: "Tent ......" So the sailors raised the sails on the mast, Liang Cheng knew that the fishermen would never say words similar to the word "turn" in their mouths, because it was unlucky, so the sails became tents.

At this time, Liang Cheng felt that the speed of the ship had increased significantly, and when he looked up, he saw that the sail was full of wind and bulged into an arc. It was a good day for the fish to be carefully selected, and even the wind was calculated to be a southerly wind, so the fishing boat sailed all the way north along the Qinglan River towards the river bay.
