As long as you are not too ignorant, you can tell at a glance that he is a shark from the Minghai Sea Clan. He is an elderly male shark, even a little old. He can smile with half a face of wrinkles, and has long sky-blue hair shawl.
The sea tribe in the Underworld basically refers to them. Those swimming fish in the sea are automatically ignored by the world. They are the boatmen in the Underworld, who can accurately grasp the unpredictable routes of this strange sea.
Xiao Hei, who took the initiative to come forward, didn't understand. He felt strange when he saw this half-human, half-fish guy. He seemed to doubt whether the fish tail swaying in the water was real. He immediately took off the big stick on his body and squatted down.
If you want to fish, you have to poke into the water. It’s obvious that you want to tease the fish’s tail.
The three brothers sweated a little, and Mu Aotie quickly grabbed him, pulled him up and held him down behind him, and glared at him to signal him not to mess around.
The boatman put his hands on the stern of the boat, jumped out of the water, sat down on the stern of the boat, and grabbed the edge of the trestle to fix the boat. The fish tail was still swaying gracefully in the water.
Xiao Hei couldn't reach the front, so he could only stretch his head out from behind Mu Aotie to see. His mouth felt like "wow" and his eyes were shining. He seemed to be envious of the fact that he had a tail and could be both a human and a fish.
Yu Qing reached out and took off the lantern on the bridge pole and handed it to the other party.
The boatman also took off the unlit lantern hanging on the bow of the boat, and was about to exchange it with the lantern in Yu Qing's hand when his eyes suddenly focused on the ring on Yu Qing's hand. The slightly startled sign was obvious, even though the water was slow.
The slowly swaying tail fin also stopped swaying.
The three brothers were not blind, so the other's reaction immediately made the three of them look at each other.
After the boatman came to his senses, he stopped the gesture of exchanging lanterns. Among the five sharp fingers holding the lantern, the index finger popped out. His sharp nails pointed at the ring in Yu Qing's hand, and he made a hoarse voice, "I don't want money, I want yours."
ring."
The three brothers were startled. They didn't expect that they would encounter the legendary tricks of the boatman on the sea, even when they first came here.
Boatman ferrying in the underworld follows a rule, both parties are willing to do so!
Once a lighted lantern is hung on the bow of the boat, it means that the ferry deal has been concluded and neither party will regret it.
Pay first and then ferry. Once the boat starts, don't mention anything about the amount of money or the lack of money. Just get off the boat when you get to the location.
Over time, a well-known standard price has been formed here. Boat passengers are charged per head, which is basically three thousand taels per person.
Of course, if the boatman feels that it is not cost-effective to bring one person, he can increase the price, or he can ask for something else as shipping cost. If the guest feels that the price is too high, or feels inappropriate, he can also refuse, and he can find another boatman. Again, the same sentence
, transactions should be based on the principle of voluntary consent of both parties and cannot be forced.
Therefore, people who often come and go here will give a piece of advice to future generations. Try not to wear any conspicuous jewelry or valuables. If you bring them, don't show them. Hide them on your body and keep them away. Try not to let the sharks see them. Once the sharks see it,
When people are greedy, they will ask for something.
Having said that, in fact, this kind of situation doesn't happen very often anymore. The three of them really didn't expect to encounter it when they came back.
The problem is, Yu Qing took a second look at his ring. It probably wasn’t some eye-catching jewelry, so he asked, “Do you want to use this ring to pay for the boat fare for the four of us?”
Another smile appeared on the old face of the boatman, and the tip of his tongue stuck out and slid around his lips before saying: "Yes."
Yu Qing asked again: "Why do you want this ring?"
The boatman pointed to the ring and then to the fish tail rising from the water, "I like fish."
Is that so? The three brothers looked at each other and it seemed to make sense.
Maybe he would have agreed to change it to a normal ring, but this ring had other important uses, so Yu Qing had to refuse and said: "I'm sorry, I'm only willing to pay money. I won't bargain with you for this child. Count it as four."
Sir, the going price is twelve thousand taels. If you agree, I will trade. If you don't agree, I will change the ship."
The boatman made eye contact with him, and suddenly smiled, "Okay, the same goes for the money." He handed the unlit lantern to Yu Qing.
Yu Qing accepted it, hung the unlit lantern on the bridge pole, and handed the lit lantern in his hand to the boatman.
The boatman hung the lighted lantern on the fishing rod at the stern of the boat, then held the bridge, stabilized the boat, and invited the guests to board.
After the three adults and one child got on the boat, Yu Qing also gave the boatman the 12,000 taels of silver notes he had ordered.
The boatman stuffed the banknotes into the swim bladder he carried with him, then twisted and slid into the water, holding the stern of the boat with both hands. The underwater fish tail began to sway gracefully and naturally, pushing the boat away from the pier, and the water turned a corner.
Driving lightly into the depths of the faint mist.
The sound of the boat breaking through the water is not loud as it moves, and it appears clear and crisp in this dark and quiet water.
Yu Qing stood in front with his hands behind his hands, facing the darkness and fog all the way.
Mu Aotie faced the back calmly, with the hanging lantern dangling in front of him.
Nanzhu stood in the middle, holding the little black pipe in his hand to restrain him. Naturally, Xiaohei was not allowed to mess around here, otherwise the little guy wanted to use the "big stick" to row a boat and play in the water, which scared the "big stick" and hid in the boat.
My head is gone...
There was no sun, moon or stars in sight, no coordinates to distinguish the time, and he didn't know how long he had been walking in the darkness and confusion. Yu Qing estimated that it might have been about two hours before he suddenly felt something was wrong.
The boat sailed to a sea area with exposed rocks everywhere. The rugged rocks had strange shapes, like monsters lurking in the water.
The most important thing is that I used to occasionally see the lights of other ships in the distance along the way, but now I haven't seen them again for almost half an hour. It is always pitch black ahead, and there are no scattered lights at all.
Sensing something was wrong, Yu Qing thought of the unusual encounter when he boarded the boat. He immediately became wary and turned around to see how the other party would respond, "Boatman, are you going in the wrong direction?"
After hearing this, Mu Aotie immediately stared at the stern of the boat, just in time to see the boatman's two hands lying on the stern shrinking in response.
Mu Aotie also felt that something was wrong. He held the hilt of his sword in his hand and quickly stepped on the stern of the boat to look down. He saw ripples in the water and the boatman had disappeared into the water.
Whoosh! He unsheathed his sword.
Seeing this, Yu Qing and Nan Zhu immediately knew something was wrong, and they drew their swords one after another.
Seeing that a fight was about to begin, Xiao Hei regained his energy and shouted, "Big stick!" even though his neck was in Nan Zhu's hand.
The big stick immediately crawled back along the side of the ship, jumped up and contracted into a big stick and fell into Xiao Hei's hand.
At this time, Mu Aoti also turned around urgently to inform him of the situation, "The boatman escaped into the water."
Nanzhu raised his sword and looked around, wondering: "What's going on? As soon as you come to the Minghai Sea, you can encounter a shark boatman and do something evil? Is the risk of going to and from the sea market so high now? Qianliu Mountain doesn't care about it?"
"I'm afraid it's not Qianliu Mountain's pot." Yu Qing, who looked around coldly, raised it and showed the ring on his hand, "I'm afraid it has something to do with this thing."
"Ring?" Nanzhu became more and more surprised, "For a ring, this boatman dares to break the rules of the 'Underworld Temple' and the order of Qianliu Mountain?"
Yu Qing: "This is not an ordinary ring. Could it be that the boatman knew that this was not an ordinary ring?"
Nan and Mu looked at each other. What Old Fifteen said seemed to be an explanation for the abnormal situation after the boatman appeared.
Mu Aotie hesitated and asked, "How could this shark boatman know the status of this ring?"
Yu Qing: "Don't forget, the Hai Clan here should have existed before Hai City was conquered by outside monks."
Nan and Mu immediately understood what he meant. The Sea Clan may have had contact with the Underworld Immortal Mansion before outside monks occupied this place, and it is not impossible to know about the ring.
Nan Zhu stretched out his head again and glanced at the ring surface on Yu Qing's finger, "According to this, it is really rare to use fish as a ring surface, but fish is actually used to make ring noodles. Fish and water are related, is it possible?
Could it be related to this sea?"
Yu Qing paid close attention to the underwater activities and did not dare to relax, "These sharks are no match for us even under water. He does not dare to confront us head-on. To get us here, either
They want to trap us, or there are conveniences here that can deal with us. In short, it is a place that is not conducive to us. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. Regardless of the direction, we must first row the boat away from this water area."
Mu Aotie immediately leaned over to cast a spell, overturned a seat plank at the stern of the boat with one palm, opened two pieces in a row, and threw one to Nanzhu. The two quickly sat down, each holding the planks and rowing aside, using their cultivation levels
By doing this, the ship quickly sailed away from the rocky sea area.
The two of them quickly carried out Yu Qing's words without hesitation. It was also because they had accumulated some experience from repeated adventures. Once they encountered danger, Lao Shiwu's response to danger was still very clever. At least it was much better than them.
Let them escape from death.
Almost at the same time, the sonorous chirping of the big-headed "dididi" sounded in Yu Qing's ponytail.
Nan and Mu were a little startled, but they immediately understood that there was indeed a murderous intention here, and they immediately accelerated their rowing speed.
Bang! Xiao Hei suddenly knocked down the baffle of the middle partition of the boat with a stick, then threw down the stick and sat in the middle of the boat. Following the same example, he also used the wooden board to row hard.
The three adults were startled by him, and they all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this. They were even a little lucky that the little bastard didn't smash the side of the boat. If he had smashed the side of the boat randomly like he smashed the counter in Youjiao Port, it would have damaged the side of the boat.
If water enters and the boat sinks, the fun will be great.
The Sea of Hell is said to be a place where people without navigation can never go out. Without a boat to rest on, no matter how high your cultivation level is, you will not be able to stand on the sea forever.
On the bottom of the sea, in a reef cave, the boatman, the shark, hid inside and watched a little light on the sea surface as he quickly sailed away from the sea.
After it swam out of the cave, it tried to swim close to the bottom of the ship several times, trying to sink the ship, but in the end it did not dare to get close. It knew how terrifying the lethality of those monks was. Even if it was a sea tribe and was good at water escape, once it got close to it, it would be destroyed.
I discovered that I might not be able to escape being killed at that moment.
Later, it temporarily abandoned the ship and quickly sneaked under the sea. After a while, it surfaced and climbed up to a small island. It quickly climbed to a pile of towering earth bags and destroyed one of them.
After a group of "mirage ants" crawled out of the ant nest, they felt more and more strange. Why was this thing still useless to those people?
It looked back at the light in the distance, then crawled into the sea again, quickly escaping through the water and chasing after it.
