Chapter 245: Sacrifice to the River God
"Treasure hunting, just your little body, it's good not to be abducted! I heard that many brothels are playing new tricks now, so I like you rabbit master!" The man stretched out his big hand and wanted to touch Zhang Bairen's head.
Looking at the big black hand, Zhang Bairen's footsteps flashed, retreated without a trace, and squinted at the man: "Can the uncle take it with you on the next trip?"
"You kid, come with me!" The man saw Zhang Bairen dodge away, disagreed, and led Zhang Bairen towards the dock.
"I don't know how many taels of silver it will cost," Zhang Bairen said in the back.
"It's not easy for you kid to go out alone, the money is free, not a child for you" The man strode in front: "My name is Tie Jun, and I am the leader of the Helan family's caravan." ”
"Helan family?" Zhang Bairen shrunk his hands in his sleeves, the surname Helan is rare.
Tie Jun said in front: "When you get to the ship, you kid don't just have to walk around, the goods on the face are lost, you can't tell if you have a mouth, and the rest is taboo!"
Hearing Tie Jun's words, Zhang Bairen slowly followed behind Tie Jun and nodded slowly: "It's also a little interesting!"
When I arrived at a wharf, I saw seventeen or eighteen large ships, and the big ones were quietly parked in the harbor. The merchant traveler is carrying goods, and the whole wharf is very lively.
"Let's go, these seventeen or eighteen boats in front of me belong to the Helan family!" Tie Jun walked in front, and the guards and men who passed by greeted Tie Jun with a smile.
"Brother Tie, didn't you say you were going to the city to buy some ornaments for your mother-in-law, why did you come back so soon!" said a fourteen or fifteen-year-old man with a grin.
"Uncle Tie, who is this little bit? Could it be your illegitimate son outside?" Someone saw Zhang Bairen behind Tie Jun and laughed.
Although Zhang Bairen is young, he wears a crown of hair instead of sideburns, and he looks quite extraordinary.
In addition, he has achieved success, his skin is pink and fair, although he is wearing coarse linen clothes, he has his own demeanor.
"Don't talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense, dare to say nonsense again, I tore your mouth! If this matter reaches the ears of my mother-in-law, it will definitely make trouble with me!" Tie Jun's face changed, he looked left and right, and saw that no one noticed this, so he glared at the guy and said: "This kid is going to Zhuo County and borrowing the footsteps of the caravan, I saw that it was not easy for him to go out alone, so he deliberately formed a good fate." ”
Who is the Iron Army? The leader of the Helan family's guards, needless to say, has a lot of ability, and his eyesight is definitely there.
Although Zhang Bairen was dressed ordinarily, he stood there with his own demeanor, and no one could ignore his existence.
And although Zhang Bairen is coarse linen, he is not stained with dust, there are no patches and loopholes, and his skin is white and tender.
Although the Great Sui does not have the habit of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, there are countless hidden masters, countless predecessors, and the powerful do not know how many, but whenever there is a slight opportunity, it is good to be able to form a good fate.
And as the Tiejun said, a caravan of more than a dozen big ships is not inferior to Zhang Bairen's room.
Board the boat
The big boat doesn't know what kind of wood is used, the texture is hard, the toughness is high, and Zhang Bairen has a feeling of stepping on marble when he steps on it.
Each big ship is divided into two floors, and Tie Jun led Zhang Bairen to the second floor, pointed to one of the rooms and said: "This is the room, the next half a month belongs to you." ”
"Thank you, uncle!" Zhang Bairen was not polite, and walked into the room to take a look, except for the quilt was a little damp, all the products were complete.
"You kid, don't run around, it's not safe on the water! And there are passenger trips on the road, don't blame me for not taking care of you, you kid was kidnapped, don't blame me for not taking care of you" Tie Jun turned to leave, Zhang Bairen's palm stretched out, and the water vapor on the bedding instantly evaporated, shrinking into a ball and being held in his hand.
Lying on the futon, Zhang Bairen breathed a sigh of relief, he hadn't been so relaxed for a long time.
night
A group of people made a lot of noise, and the flotilla left the dock in the light and headed for the gate.
It is rare for Zhang Bairen not to meditate and practice, and there is no god in the dantian, and his life is much easier.
"Map of the ancient country of Loulan!" Zhang Bairen took out the map from his sleeve, slowly opened it on the desk, and constantly examined the direction of the map.
After a long time, I saw a clue, and I could roughly determine the location of the ancient country of Loulan.
This is also thanks to the advanced science and technology in the previous life, Zhang Bairen once used an electronic satellite map to carefully examine the whole map of China in order to watch the world's feng shui dragon veins.
Although the Sui and Tang dynasties are far from the vicissitudes of the 21st century, the thousand-year history has changed, and the geology has changed, but Zhang Bairen still found a trace of the shadow of the year in the blur.
"It's actually in the territory of the Western Turks!" Zhang Bairen frowned, even if it is not the territory of the Western Turks, it is also the junction of the Western Turks and Dunhuang.
"Western Turks! This is a bit troublesome!" Zhang Bairen looked at the map, the map could only see a general direction, how could he accurately find the ruins of the ancient kingdom of Loulan?
Zhang Bairen stroked his chin, calculated the time, and tossed and tracked all the way outside the plug, it was almost the end of February, Yang Guang was going to turn around in March, and then returned to Luoyang, the eastern capital, in April.
It seems that this year in the territory of Dasui can be regarded as a relatively stable year, and Yang Guang has not made much action except for some small turmoil.
Looking at the three poles on the sun, Zhang Bairen walked out of the cabin, at this time there was a noise at the bow of the boat, only to see countless guards holding a series of sacrificial things such as colored threads, pig's heads tied with red silk, silver coins, etc., lit the incense in their hands, and after a series of worships, the tribute was thrown into the river.
Zhang Bairen's brows furrowed, the distinction of sacrifice has been a long time! In today's world, the gods and spirits are sacred, and there are countless water demons, if you want to cross the river safely, you must sacrifice to the river god!
Not to mention whether the river god will suppress those water demons and avoid their trouble, it is good that the river god does not cause you trouble!
If you don't sacrifice to the river god, don't think about passing safely. You have to dance the waves and make the waves, so that you know how powerful!
The major families are also swallowing their anger, there is no way, the gods are born by relying on the Great Sui, it is the power of the Great Sui, and the gods are either old gods, or famous generals of the Great Sui, and they have made great contributions to the Great Sui.
Whoever dares to tamper with these gods will have to ask the court if they agree!
Sacrificing all the way, Tie Jun came to Zhang Bairen's side: "What's the matter, why are you so depressed!"
"Do you have to keep sacrificing all the way?" Zhang Bairen looked at Tie Jun and asked without answering.
"If you don't sacrifice, you can't help it! This river is divided into countless river sections, and there are countless river gods. Along the way, the silver will not be able to come down without 10,000 taels at all, incense candles, colored paper, and tribute, it is simply life-threatening!" Tie Jun said helplessly.
"What if you don't sacrifice?" Zhang Bairen looked at Tie Jun.
"No sacrifices, believe it or not, there will be a water demon attacking your fleet in the next moment?" Iron Jun shook his head.
"The Helan family can take the east and west lines, there will be no masters in the family, how can they be afraid of the water demons?" Zhang Bairen put his hands behind his back.
"You don't understand, killing the water demon will provoke the water god to take action personally, and then the trouble will be even greater!
Zhang Bairen was silent, watching the Helan family's caravan continue to sacrifice along the way, and the pig's heads were submerged in the water, wasting in vain, cheapening the fish and shrimp in the water. The poor on the shore are starved to death without enough to eat, and some people may not be able to see the meat all year round, and their lives are not as good as the fish and shrimp in the water.
"The way of this world ......" Zhang Bairen was speechless, at least with his current strength, he couldn't do anything.
"Don't care about it! I can't care about it so much! The disaster of the family gate valve has been around for a long time, and the god system is also deep-rooted, and it depends on the great Sui disaster and blessing, wait for me to achieve the yang god, let's talk about other things" Zhang Bairen took a deep breath, turned around and walked into the room.
The food on the ship is good, at least Zhang Bairen seems to be good, and there are meat buns and mutton-stuffed buns at every meal, which are extremely delicious.
Everywhere I passed, the north was wailing everywhere, although a heavy snow swept through the north a year ago, and the three yang fire talismans were removed, but it was still bleak.
"I hope for a bumper harvest this year!"
