Chapter 19: The Turtle

When the man saw the two of them coming down, he hurriedly left the guest in his hand, stepped forward to confess again and again, and even squeezed out a few tears of remorse, until Shi Yi repeatedly promised to forgive him. Several customers in the store are amazed, usually the guy with his eyes above the top, what's wrong today? It seems that these two teenagers have a very unusual identity!

Finally got rid of the buddy, out of the gate of the treasure building, the warm sun shone on his body again, Shi Yi was in a trance, stepping on the iron shoes and finding nowhere to go, finally had the news of his grandfather, and also brought out his own life experience, and gained a lot.

Back at the inn, after checking out of the room, and having a full meal, the two brothers came to a dock.

Ant Gathering Mountain is located in the southeast of Sword Immortal City, the road is far away, if you are riding a horse, you need to go around a long distance, seven or eight days to arrive; if you take a boat to take the waterway, along the tributaries of the Yuan River, all the way to the east, it will save a lot of distance, only three or two days to arrive!

When the big head heard that he was going to take a boat, he was reluctant in every way, Shi Yi tried to persuade him for a long time, but it had no effect, but it was Xiao Huang, so he stared at the big head silently for a while, and the big head noticed the contempt in its eyes, and his mind was hot, and he agreed.

At this time, Shi Yi's robe was folded into a fan, and a sachet was pinned to his waist, the long tassels swayed gently in the wind, and the big head also changed into a linen robe, he usually wore shirtless regardless of winter or summer, and this dress was covered on his body, which was very awkward, and he always wanted to tear off the sleeves to be happy, but was repeatedly stopped by Shi Yi.

A dozen or so long merchant ships were ready by the docks, waiting for the order to set off. When the captain saw the two teenagers coming, they looked like they were playing in the mountains and rivers, and immediately shouted, "Two little brothers, do you want to take a boat?" "Do you want to go to the ant gathering mountain?" "Go, of course go, two gold coins each"

After negotiating the price, a wooden ladder stretched out from the side of the ship and took it to the dock, and the captain greeted enthusiastically, "Come, come, two of you are careful, just wait for the two, and set off immediately" Shi Yi stepped on the deck with two strong steps, and the big head looked at the splash of the swaying hull of the ship, and hesitated, at this time, Xiao Huang also jumped on the boat and looked at him.

Merchant ships follow the current and head downstream. From the sailors on the ship, Shi Yi learned that this ship generally only transports goods and does not carry guests, but recently the matter of the Ant Gathering Mountain Snow Wild Wolf King has been full of storms in the city, and more and more people go in that direction, and the captain sees that it is profitable, so he does the business of carrying people by the way. There were twenty people on this ship, including sailors and guests.

Shi Yi was unconsciously a little embarrassed, he had deliberately disguised himself before, for fear that others would see that he was going for the Snow Wild Wolf King, but he didn't expect that this was already known to everyone. Fortunately, the big head was a little seasick, resting in the room, Xiao Huang also lay on the side of the boat, looking at the fish that occasionally rowed in the water, no one paid attention to him.

After a night, early in the morning, Shi Yi stood at the bow of the boat, enjoying the warm spring breeze, looking back, there was no longer a shadow of Sword Immortal City, Xiao Huang squatted on the side, listlessly napping, last night's seasickness was even worse, and he got up in the middle of the night and vomited several times, and everyone didn't sleep well. Shi Yi looked at the fishing nets and busy fishing boats pulled up by the fishermen on the shore in the distance, and couldn't help but think of Xiao Yanlai, and he didn't know how she was, after she got well, whether she had gained weight, whether she had grown taller, and she had a chance, so she had to go back to see her.

As he was sighing, he suddenly saw several sailors, dragging out a few dead cattle and sheep from the cabin, and leaning towards the side of the ship, and the idlers on the deck gave way one after another, and when they reached the side of the ship, they made a few splashes into the water, and the cattle and sheep were thrown into the river. Immediately after, the captain came out of the cabin, and together with several sailors, he knelt down towards the river with a solemn expression, and said something in his mouth, because some distance away, Shi Yi could not hear what he was reading.

After a few bows, they dispersed and got busy. Shi Yi was so curious that he found a sailor named Big Mouth, "Brother Big Mouth, what are those cattle and sheep you threw into the river just now?" Big Mouth saw that the young man who pulled him to ask questions yesterday came to ask for advice again, and replied impatiently, "We are worshipping the river god!" "River God?" Shi Yi took out a gold coin and handed it to Big Mouth without a trace, "Please Brother Big Mouth, tell me about it carefully." ”

The big mouth got the gold coin, and the folds on his face were about to fall off with laughter, and they were tired and tired of running the boat for a month, and they were only paid two gold coins, this little brother just asked some questions, and gave a gold coin! Hurriedly put down the work in his hand, and opened the conversation box with a smile on his face: "Little brother doesn't know, in this area of water, there is a turtle that has cultivated to perfection! Every passing ship must give it some benefits, otherwise the ship will be ruined!"

"Turtle, isn't that a monster? Why don't you destroy it, but give it benefits?" Shi Yi asked strangely, "Don't you dare to talk nonsense!" The big mouth looked around with a weak heart, and said in a low voice, "At the beginning, when this turtle was in chaos, some people wanted to destroy him, but it was extremely sensitive, once it felt the breath of the master, it shrank at the bottom of the river and did not come up, the terrain at the bottom of the river is complicated, many people went down to look for it, not only could not find its figure, but also gave their lives in vain!"

"Isn't there a more powerful master?" "Little brother, those high-ranking people usually come and go, who will take a boat? Even if they pass through here occasionally, how can they spend effort to deal with it? It is a pain for us ordinary people, every time we pass by here, we have to pay tribute, and over time, it has become the overlord of this water, and we call it the river god!"

Knowing the ins and outs, Shi Yi sighed in his heart, a monster can become a hegemon and accept the worship of the world, those so-called masters are inevitably too impersonal...

At this time, a sailor standing on the side of the boat suddenly shouted loudly, "Look, look, river god!" Shi Yi looked in the direction of the water finger, and on the river not far away, a large black area churned by, and the cow that was floating on the river just now disappeared in an instant, and the waves that stirred up flew high and hit the faces of the people watching the excitement by the boat.

Shi Yi saw it clearly, and when the other sailors heard the movement, they all came out, and when they saw this, they knelt on the deck, in the direction of the black shadow, and kept kowtowing, and kept chanting in their mouths, "The river god has appeared, the river god has appeared!"

Xiao Huang jumped on Shi Yi's shoulder, the yellow hair all over his body stood up, bared his teeth, barked at the river, no matter how Shi Yi appeased, it was useless, Shi Yi had never seen it like this, he looked into the river, and saw a black shadow under the water rushing towards the hull of the ship, the black shadow was oval, three zhang long, it was the turtle, it was about to hit the hull, Shi Yi yelled, "Hold on!

The hull of the boat shook violently, Shi Yi couldn't stand on his feet for a while, and sat on the deck, and two passengers were shocked into the river because they were too close to the side of the boat, and before they could call for help, they were swallowed in one gulp.
