The river was covered with white fog, the slight waves swayed, and the light sailboats sailed quietly through the mist as the oars paddled out of the water.

The river is spacious, but it is not as vast as the sea, and the sailing ship is slow, and it has reached the center of the river.

The waves are turbulent, the waves are hitting the hull, the sailboats are shaking, especially the bow, and the side chords against the river, sometimes warped, sometimes tilted, the sails are retracted and lowered at this time, foggy and rainy days, and it is not suitable for fast travel.

The boatman held his trouser legs, standing barefoot on the bow of the boat, and with the shaking, his body also changed his balance slightly, and the rod in his hand became the role of detecting the reef.

"A few guest officers, you have to sit tight, be careful not to fall into the river, this foggy day, it's not easy to catch people. ”

Lu Liangsheng leaned against the bulkhead at the stern of the boat, this side shook a little less, but he didn't feel anything, the old donkey was cast a mountain stone technique, and his limbs knelt on the deck, no matter how the hull shook, he could not move at all.

The son of the boatman who rowed the oars was tired and sweating profusely.

"Damn, is the boat draught, or is Lao Tzu's skill bad? ”

The other seven passengers at the front of the hull were all ordinary people, three passers-by held umbrellas and held on to the guardrails, their faces were blue, probably seasick, while the other four scholars held hands and stood in a circle, much more steady, occasionally whispering to each other.

"Could this boatman's words be true?" "I don't know......"

"I'm waiting for a scholar to save the world, how can I be scared by a mere fish demon!"

"Brother is right, the four of us are righteous, that is, we are determined to help Mingjun and restore the peace of the people in the world, how can we cower because of a fish demon, you see that scholar over there, full of alcohol, sloppy, you can't learn from him so depraved. ”

Among the four, a relatively young scholar suddenly interjected.

"Hey, don't you say it, I don't think that person looks a little familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere. ”

On the other side of the bulkhead, Lu Liangsheng naturally heard the four of them talking with his eyes closed, he was covered in alcohol, his clothes and hair were wet, and as soon as he got on the boat, the seven people seemed to be disgusted and far away.

It's better not to come, so you don't have to speak.

Along the way, Lu Liangsheng only talked to the fat monk when he saw him, and at other times, he only said a few words to the master and the female ghost.

As the toad Taoist said, people who are smooth sailing, when they are frustrated, will be hit deeper than ordinary people, but after crossing this hurdle, it is a lot of life.

At present, Lu Liangsheng is in such a state.

............

The surface of the river is white, and under the black water, a cloud of white bubbles rolls.

'Poof. ’

It melted on the surface of the water, quietly creating a circle of ripples and pushing it out in all directions.

............

Suddenly, Lu Liangsheng, who was leaning against the bulkhead, opened his eyes slightly, and the toad coiled on the donkey's head also narrowed his eyelids.

"No, the fish demon, it's a bit of a pity. ”

At this moment, there was a banging sound.

"Ouch, what a carp jumped. ”

Not far from the deck of the three foot traders, a large carp 'snapped' and flicked its tail and jumped around on the surface of the boat, and was soon caught by one of them with both hands, pinching the gills and lifting it.

"Boatman, can there be pots and pans and small stoves? ”

"Haha, I'm afraid this is a blessing from King Jianglong when he saw me waiting for the hard work of the boat. The other man looked at the carp and laughed.

The four scholars over there came up and looked curiously at the river under the boat, which was to the south, and it was rare to hear of a fish jumping on the boat by itself.

A bold scholar almost poked out half of his body.

"I don't know, there is any. ”

At the bow of the boat, the boatman who explored the reef put away the rod and turned around, a little uneasy, and asked the man who was carrying the fish over there to throw the fish back.

"It's always been us fishermen who are filial to the old man of the river, and if we take the things of the old man, isn't it a mess? Hurry up and throw it back, don't take it indiscriminately, it's almost to the opposite ferry, don't make trouble!!"

The shipman's son also spoke to help:

"The four guest officers over there, don't lean out, keep an eye on the water, be careful that the water ghost finds a stand-in. ”

At this moment, among the ups and downs of the water, a huge black shadow swam past the water, looking above the twisted water lines, the figure on the side of the ship poked out, stretching out its long, hard and barbed arms.

The huge body squeezed through the river, and the waves brought by it were 'roaring' away, and the sailboats on the water swayed in the ripples.

The scholar overlooking the water, vaguely saw something deep underwater, and when he wanted to see it clearly, he heard the son of the boatman say, "Be careful that the ghost in the water has found a substitute." ”

Instinctively, he retracted into the boat, and the black shadow with the shell broke through the water and was suddenly emptied.

The scholar who turned back to the boat straightened his face and flicked his sleeves.

"Nonsense, good and decent, where can there be such a ghostly thing. ”

Mutter~~

The bubbles gushed out of the water, the sound of talking stopped, and the four scholars were close to the side of the boat, naturally hearing it.

"What sound?"

"It's like it's coming from the water. ”

The bubbles on the surface of the water seemed to be in a hurry, and they surged up one after another, and the four scholars and the other three passengers were also curious to approach.

At this time, the captain at the bow of the ship was also shouting: "It's almost time to come ashore." ”

The seven leaned out, and when they heard this, they subconsciously turned around and looked at the bow of the ship.

The river breeze and rain blew heavily, the retracted mast creaked and twisted slightly, and the moment the carp in the man's hand swayed the fishtail, it was like a moment of string shock.

Lu Liangsheng, who was leaning against the bulkhead, got up suddenly, his figure disappeared in place, waved his robe, and the shipman called "Hey!", and the rod in his hand broke the rope connected to the bow of the ship and flew into the sky.

The moment his hand made contact with the rod, Lu Liangsheng kicked the mast, his robe flew over, and the long rod in his hand was infused with mana and thrown down from top to bottom.

Poof!

The sound of the water splashing on the bodies and faces of the seven people, and in an instant, they only felt the cold air surge, and the hairs on their bodies stood up one by one.

The bow of the boat lightly touched the pier ferry bridge, and the slight shock brought the boatman and the seven people on the side of the boat back to their senses.

A man wipes water stains from his face.

"What just happened?"

"It's like seeing a white shadow over our heads......"

At this time, someone suddenly noticed that there was one person missing from the ship.

"What about the sloppy scholar?"

"It's not going to fall overboard, is it? And the donkey is gone. "Maybe it's a water ghost, wet all over, isn't it all written like this in Zhiwei novels?"

"Let's go, let's go!"

Several people's faces turned pale, and they didn't dare to stay on the boat, anyway, the boat money had been settled before, so they hurriedly greeted the confused boatman, took their respective luggage, hurriedly got off the boat, and ran away quickly.

Looking at the rod lying quietly on the boat, the boatman walked over tremblingly, picked it up and looked through it in his hand.

"It's strange, why did they fly out, and the scholar and the donkey. ”

Hey.

What is it.

At one end of the long pole, there was a two-foot sticky substance, yellow and yellow, with a strange smell.

The boatman stretched out his hand and carefully dipped it, frowned, and couldn't help but lick it.

"Crab Roe ......"

At this time, the young man at the stern of the boat walked with his palms together and bowed at the same time, and when he saw the old man, he hurried over, and his face showed excitement, and he paddled at the stern and saw clearly.

"Dad, that sloppy scholar, that sloppy scholar......"

The words stammered excitedly, gestured and gestured, and the last sentence fell heavily for a moment.

“...... It's a god. ”

The sound of clanging bells came from the other side of the river beach, the rain was leaden and blue, and the water vapor melted on the scholar riding a donkey in the distance, ethereal and hazy, like a land fairy.

On the boat, the father and son were holding crab roe with a strange fragrance and were at a loss.

After a long time, after reacting, it was a burst of melancholy.

"I didn't know that there was a tall man on the side......"
