Chapter 76: Two Phases
"Wait, wait, I'll turn the fish over......"
A scholar saw that the steamed fish on the plate had been eaten, and hurried to turn the fish, but the words he used made the boatman and his son very displeased.
"What nonsense! It's the fish that is coming! It's 'right', this scholar, the word you said is not auspicious for people who beg for a living on the water!"
The old boatman's tone of explanation was obviously a little unhappy, but the scholar immediately figured out the joints and hurriedly apologized.
"Hey, look at my mouth, the boatman is not strange, the boatman is not strange, Xiaosheng doesn't understand the surface language, and he will be punished with a glass of wine!"
"Haha, you scholar, you're greedy for a bar!"
The noisy laughter in the cabin continued, mixed with the crisp laughter of children's "giggles", and occasionally someone ate fish too quickly to get stuck to the bone, and the old boatman came out to rescue him.
The degree of fisherman's rice wine is not high, and the taste is good, and there are a lot of fish and meat snacks tonight, and it is everyone's first meeting, and a meal is still unfinished after half an hour.
"Dad, I'll go and relieve myself!"
This will make the young boatman feel tight in his lower abdomen and want to pee.
"Go, go, pour a little farther away, you know!"
"Hey!"
The young boatman agreed, put down his chopsticks, and got up to get out of the cabin.
Although I drank a lot of rice wine, the alcohol content was not high, and the young man ran the boat to work and exercised a good physique, so it naturally did not make people walk and float.
Steadily stopped by the mast, close to the side of the ship, and after untying the belt of his trousers, his body shook and relaxed, and a waterline rushed into the river.
"Hoo ......"
It was very pleasant to let the water out, but while he was tying his belt, the young boatman suddenly mentioned that there was a splash on the other side of the river, and turned his head to look, and saw the ripples on one side of the water.
"Boom la la ......"
The sound of water came again, this time in the bow of the ship.
The boatman was a little nervous and tiptoed close to the bow of the boat, but he still saw no other water streaks, and his heart was a little hairy, and he hurriedly ran back to the cabin.
The people inside were still eating and drinking, and the few people who saw the young boatman running back with a bad face did not know why.
"Daddy... It seems that there is a water ......."
The young boatman lowered his voice and said this to the old boatman, who had just peed as if he had felt that the underwater splash beside the boat was too abnormal, very similar to some of the rumors.
The old boatman's expression became serious when he heard this, and he didn't say anything when he looked at the others, and walked out of the cabin with a wine glass.
Everything else was a little unclear about what was going on, only the old man with his grandson seemed to have thought of something, and pulled his grandson to prevent him from going out to watch the fun.
In this world, there are knights at the peak of martial arts looking for opportunities to break through again, and there are obsessed people looking for immortals, but there are very few people who meet gods and immortals, and the weird and terrifying things are actually not far away in the folk.
Some people have even encountered it without realizing it, some people maintain enough awe in word of mouth, and some people have lost their lives inexplicably.
To put it bluntly, it's just a matter of seeking differences, the demon and the evil spirit are greedy for the human body, the soul and the flesh of the yang yuan, and ordinary people are very afraid of it;
Even if it is the city god and the like, not to mention busy, how many greedy and selfish things can be heard in the temple over the years, and they are tired of dying and annoyed, if they don't have to, who cares about you.
And the time level difference between the parties is too big, not to mention the immortal cultivators and gods, even the demons and evil have been cultivating for many years, coupled with the news blockage, the world is so big, there are very few people who know the world, and there are not many things that are widely circulated, and even fewer people can find traces of the latter, but some allusions to the local law of the villagers are passed on by word of mouth.
In the area of Xiaoshun River and Chunmu River, people who run boats all year round have more or less known and even encountered strange things related to water, and the so-called "water prince" is an honorific title for water ghosts.
Although the others in the canopy cabin were a little confused at first, they also vaguely understood something, and watched the old boatman walk to the side of the boat with the wine, and reached out to pour the wine into the river.
"If you don't offend me, I won't offend you, a glass of water and wine to show respect, Shui Gong Shui Gong quickly retreat!"
A glass of wine was poured down, and a few more words were muttered, and although nothing was visible to the naked eye, it seemed that the water could be seen shaking away.
"Okay, let's continue to eat, as long as we don't go into the water, it's fine, and everyone goes to the Chunmu Jiangjiang Shrine to worship when we go back. ”
Although no one saw anything just now, it also caused some people to get goosebumps, and they sat back in the cabin one after another, and they stood at the mouth of the canopy and squinted at the river.
A man like Li Da Niu is full of blood and life, it is estimated that even if there is a water man, he can swim in the water, and ordinary water ghosts can't do anything to him, but if he can't swim, then it is very likely that he will drown at the bottom of the river if he encounters a water ghost.
But Ji Yuanke knew very well that it was not a water man under the water at this time, but a big herring fish greedy for wine.
"Hehe, everyone else is relieved by the side of the ship, and you still come here to beg for a drink?"
Ji Yuan said with a smile, the ripples on the water surface rippled again, and the big blue fish under the water swam away directly.
'If only the spirits were so cute!'
。。。
Early in the morning, the boatmen woke up to the occasional slight shaking of the hull, and found that it was already dawn, and Ji Yuan had already sat in the bow of the boat, while the old boatman woke up before dawn and sailed, waiting for a while to have breakfast and then be replaced by his son.
Ji Yuan didn't hold a book in his hand, but pinched another piece of white jade in his sleeve, which was the remnant of the detention spirit given by Qiu Feng.
The so-called Divine Detention Method has two meanings, one is that for the cultivator himself, it can restrain his mind and assist in cultivation, and the other layer is even more powerful in Ji Yuan's opinion, and it can really "detain the spirit".
In my last life, when I watched Journey to the West, Sun Wukong said "Where is the old man of the land?", and the land lord appeared to see him, and another level of detention has this meaning.
However, this kind of thing is also very taboo, and people with this ability have to combine the actual situation and occasion to use it, simply put, if Ji Yuan really learns all the gods now, and then stands on the boat and wants to let the spring Mu Jiang God come to see ......
Yes, the ultimate death was successful, and it is estimated that Jiang Shen's body has no effect, but instead he is angry and a big wave slaps the fate.
What are the best occasions to use it?
For example, some mountains and rivers or some beautiful places, there are many magical existences, through talent or acquired efforts, there is more or less collusion with the earth veins and water veins, and they barely belong to the gods who have not been canonized, or the places where a small range of villagers worship, the obscene shrines and small lands......
"Mr. Ji~~~ Come and drink rice porridge!"
The young boatman shouted in the cabin, which also interrupted Ji Yuan's thoughts.
"It's coming!"
After a response, Ji Yuan also patted his ass and stood up to eat breakfast together.
A bowl of white porridge, grabbed a small handful of dried vegetables and put it on top, holding the bowl and holding chopsticks, Ji Yuan walked outside the cabin again, standing there to help the rice porridge cool down with the breeze, and at the same time blowing the bowl of noodles and scraping the porridge with chopsticks to eat, that is, the occasional bump of the ship made the body shake but still steady.
With the help of the southeast wind, the small boat where Ji Yuan was located was slowly surpassing the building ship because of the advantage of its light hull, and the two ships were only a dozen feet away from each other at this moment.
There were many people on the boat looking at the small boat, and they also saw a few passengers on the boat drinking porridge, and the people here were also looking at the big boat.
A man in white was lying on the side of the boat looking at the boat on the river in a daze, and saw the gentleman in gray standing in the wind looking at this side, if it was not for the bowl, it must have formed a natural harmony with the boat and the river.
