The shark boatman didn't care. Seeing that the negotiation was settled and there was no more opinions, he immediately acted according to the guest's wishes and turned the boat in the opposite direction.
Yinshanhe shouted to the sharks again and asked: "Boatman, are you sure that the target we are tracking will arrive at least an hour later than us?"
The shark who had answered before turned around and replied, "Unless you don't come, there will be nothing wrong. I won't charge you for less than an hour."
After confirming that the target was not reached, Yin Shanhe put the cigarette holder back into his mouth and continued.
Turning his head to look at the two people on the shore, and then at the two boatmen, Qingya was actually quite speechless. He openly discussed how to kill the Tanhualang in front of the sea tribe. He really had no scruples at all.
To avoid taboos, he didn't know whether it was because he was angry because of his small family, or because he was at a higher level.
Of course, he also knew that it might be the reason why the monk agreed not to help the dog find flowers, but he still felt strange, at least it was the first time he had experienced such unscrupulous behavior.
Forget it, the rest is none of his business, he laughed at himself, turned around and fiddled with the lantern hanging on the bow of the ship, said "whoosh" into it, and blew out the lights inside in one breath.
The shark boatman just raised his head and took a look, but didn't say anything else. We were not sailing now, so we could turn off the lights while waiting.
Qingya obviously knew the rules well, and he greeted Cui You on the boat next door, "If you don't want the target to find us here, you'd better turn off the lights..."
Cui You hesitated a little, then looked back at the people on the shore. Seeing that there was no objection, he immediately complied and extinguished the lights on the bow of the ship.
The two ships suddenly fell into darkness, turning into hazy shadows and approaching the shadowy small islands and reefs.
While people on the shore watched him off, Yin Shanhe couldn't help but glance at Long Xingyun.
In fact, he didn't want to keep Long Xingyun. He wanted Long Xingyun to go with Cui You and wait at the edge. He wanted to help Long Xingyun solve the problem alone. He had the strength and the confidence, but he wanted Long Xingyun to wait there.
I was afraid that something might happen to Long Xingyun after I left him, so I thought it would be safer to keep him with me for protection.
Because he always felt that there was something about Qingya that he couldn't explain, he couldn't help but secretly feel a sense of vigilance towards Qingya.
As for the monsters on this island, he really didn't pay much attention to them.
However, if I need to explain, I still have to remind Long Xingyun, puffing on the dry smoke: "After all, we are not familiar with the situation here. To prevent accidents, the young master of the pavilion should stay close to me and don't run around."
"Uncle Yin, don't worry, I will be careful." Long Xingyun agreed neatly and turned around to observe the island, "This island is not big or small, what should I do?"
Yinshan River: "If we go to the highest point on the island, we can see it no matter where there are boats coming from."
Long Xingyun immediately understood what he meant, and there was light on the boat.
The two immediately walked towards the high ground on the island, keeping vigilance and caution along the way. However, the large area of purple grass on the island would more or less attract the attention of newcomers, and the two of them were no exception.
Long Xingyun was curious about those thousands of purple roots. He stretched out his hand to touch it, but was held down by a cigarette rod.
Long Xingyun turned around in confusion, and Yin Shanhe explained the reason, "Purple grass has tiny thorns on its hanging roots, which can easily entangle living creatures. At the same time, the thorns secrete anesthetics, which can cause pricks or scratches."
No pain can be felt behind the flesh. By the time the living creature finds out that it is entangled, it is already too late. Most of the limbs have been paralyzed to the point of being unable to move. Then these roots will wrap the living creature tightly, corroding, digesting and absorbing it down to the slag.
None are left."
After hearing what he said, Long Xingyun retracted his outstretched hand.
Yinshanhe handed the cigarette rod in his hand to the hanging tendrils of purple grass, first gently stroking it, and then he could see that the glowing roots seemed to come alive, gently and slowly curling up as they swayed.
To the cigarette pole.
This was slow motion, and he then demonstrated a fast motion. The cigarette rod suddenly moved its hanging whiskers quickly on both sides, as if a living creature was trying to break free from the whiskers that had just been slowly wrapped around it.
The swaying beards immediately reacted violently, and all floated up, as if they were attracted by a magnet. They suddenly came and rolled up, and quickly wrapped around the tobacco rod. The light beards on the entire purple grass were fluttering.
Get up, they are all gathering towards this side.
Yin Shanhe pulled hard, but was unable to pull the cigarette rod out of the grip. As long as the whiskers wrapped around the object, the purple light on it would immediately be extinguished.
It wasn't until those whiskers were rolled into Yin Shanhe's hands that he cast a spell and was shocked. He used his strong cultivation to break free from the restraints and pulled back his cigarette rod. Then he warned Long Xingyun: "These whiskers are very tough.
, once the cultivation level of beginners and advanced martial arts is entangled, it is basically difficult to break away, and you can only watch and wait for death. "
As he spoke, the beards that had just been rolled up slowly unfolded again, and the disappearing purple light slowly reappeared on the beards, glowing with magnificent colors again, which was quite magical.
Long Xingyun nodded and looked around, "The purple grass on the island is growing so vigorously that it may have swallowed up a lot of living creatures."
However, Yin Shanhe stopped talking, lit the cigarette pot again, and clicked the cigarette holder, not afraid that anyone on the island would see the light of his smoking.
After getting to know the purple grass, the two lost interest and headed straight for the highlands of the island.
After finding a place where they could look around at the sea, the two of them sat on the spot and paid attention to the sea around them.
Silence, time passed little by little, and it seemed that the words of the shark boatman were verified. An hour later, Yinshanhe, who was sitting slowly smoking, suddenly turned the cigarette pot upside down in his hand, knocking out the sparks in the pot on the ground, and kicked it directly
Destroyed.
Long Xingyun realized something, turned around and looked in the direction of Yinshan River. Sure enough, he saw a little light on the sea, which should be a ship's lantern...
On a nearby island, Qingya, who was sitting with one leg upright, suddenly stood up on one leg, stared at a light spot on the sea, and muttered, "Here we come."
Pang Chengqiu stood up.
Cui You, who was still sitting on the boat, also stood up and looked out.
Two ferry boats stopped at the edge of the island, and the two shark boatmen who climbed onto the stern and sat in the water slowly moving their tail fins also took a look.
"Shipman, are those the lights on your boat?" Qingya still asked more questions as if to confirm.
A boatman, a shark, laughed and said, "Yes, there is nothing wrong with that."
Qingya looked back at the dazzling Zilan Island, "I think those two must have seen it too."
Pang Chengqiu: "As long as the ship is coming this way, even if you don't see it now, you will definitely find it when the ship gets closer."
Qingya chuckled, "The timing is so good, I guess it can't be someone else. Gou Tanhua also has today, I'm afraid he will suffer."
I felt like I was gloating over my misfortune, and at the same time I looked at my legs. I felt that I had been harmed by someone, and I already felt itchy with hatred...
The people on the boat that Dian Gudeng came to were indeed none other than the three brothers Yu Qing.
Seeing that they were about to arrive at the destination, the three of them began to make noises and bargain.
When the argument continued, Yu Qing simply squatted on the stern of the boat like he was shitting, and said to the shark pushing the boat in the water, "Boatman, you don't want to open your mouth like a lion..."
The sharks were already so noisy that they were not active in pushing the boat. Hearing this, they even yelled strangely and interrupted, "Where did the lion come from? The travel expenses are five thousand taels per person, and the total of the three of them is fifteen thousand. You guys are on the way.
If you want to avoid people, take a detour and add 10,000, for a total of 25,000. It was 25,000 when I came, and it was 25,000 when I left. It is reasonable and reasonable. How can I ask you so much, why do you become a lion?"
Nanzhu blushed and yelled from behind, "You said it was a detour, and the ten thousand taels were added because of the detour. You don't need to take a detour when you go back."
Shark: "I don't need to take a detour, but do you want me to wait for you here without spending time waiting for you?"
Nanzhu: "Just sit and rest while you wait, and you don't need to expend your energy to push the boat forward."
Shark: "What are you talking about? Time is also money. I tell you, you don't have to argue with me. I'm still talking about the price of waiting for you two hours. If you wait for one more hour, I'll add five thousand taels. Do you like it?
, let’s not buy or sell by force.”
Seeing the other party's angry look, Yu Qing immediately calmed down when he thought that there were no other ships here. He squatted down and persuaded in a good voice: "Just calculate the price based on time. You can't just settle for a fixed price when negotiating a deal."
, how can we talk about it if everything is killed. But boatman, there is something wrong with your pricing method. I ask you, if you are not allowed to wait for us, and we are not allowed to take a detour, will the return price be the original price, and will it still be 15,000?
Travel expenses?”
The shark thought for a moment and said, "That's right, fifteen thousand."
Yu Qing looked at the hazy sky above his head again and asked, "Did our trip take almost five hours?"
The shark thought for a moment and nodded: "Absolutely."
Yu Qing: "The price of people's time should be 15,000 divided by five hours. Every hour of waiting is 3,000 taels, every half hour of waiting is 1,500 taels, and every additional moment of waiting is 300 taels."
Seventy-five taels, can you do the math?"
He tried his best to subdivide the equivalent price of time, and the more detailed it was, the more money he would save.
Nanzhu said: "That's right."
Mu Aotie also intervened at this time, "Boatman, you don't have any other guests to carry here. If you don't carry us, it's not worthwhile to go back empty."
The shark suddenly said angrily: "Okay, okay, you talk too much. I can't win against you. Don't talk to me about it. Three hundred and seventy taels per moment, just three thousand taels per hour. I don't care what you do within one hour."
Come back, or come back within half an hour. As soon as the timer starts, it will be calculated as one hour. If you accept it, just accept it. If you can't accept it, we will go our separate ways. I would rather go back with an empty ship than drag you along."
At this point, what else could he say? Yu Qing could only sigh with regret, "Okay, it's not easy for you to watch the boatman. The three of us are not stingy people. Three thousand is three thousand. Wait for three thousand in an hour."
thousand."
After speaking, he looked very generous and took out twenty-five thousand taels of silver notes.
After paying the one-way payment, Yu Qing, who was squatting there, got up and turned around.
The three brothers and sisters, illuminated by a solitary lamp, looked at each other, and they all felt quite satisfied. Although they could not negotiate a price based on hour by hour, at any rate, they negotiated the price from five thousand taels per hour to three thousand taels.
They can save two thousand taels in one hour. For them, this is not a small amount of money. It definitely saves a lot of money.
Those who have made money are happy, but those who have lost money are naturally unhappy. The boatman, the shark, who pushed the boat forward again, muttered, "I have seen many monks, but it is rare to see such a picky monk."
Yu Qing stepped forward and stood on the bow of the boat, standing with his hands behind his hands, pretending that he didn't hear anything.
Nanzhu was not happy, "Boatman, what you said is that you can't do business without negotiating the price. Is it called bargaining after the price is agreed upon? Even the monks traveling between Haishi and Xingluo Island have to ask the ferryman.
Let’s take a look at the price, I can’t just let you decide how much it is.”
Boatman Sharman: "Let's not talk about the exchanges between Haishi and Xingluo Island. Don't believe it. Most of the monks who wander into the depths of the Underworld are very generous and can pull out three hundred and seventy
This is the first time I've met someone who comes to settle small accounts for five taels. To put it bluntly, what are you running around with no money?"
The corner of Nanzhu's mouth twitched, and he suddenly raised his hands proudly and said: "This is not called picking, it is called being reasonable. You wouldn't believe me even if I told you. The three of us made hundreds of millions a day when we were doing business, so we don't dare to boast that we are rich.
Man, at least the boatman, you have made a mistake."
The boatman, the shark, said disdainfully, "Rich people? I have ferried countless monks. I have seen all kinds of rich people. I have never seen your kind, to say the least. I have never seen your kind. Look.
You look fat, but the three of you really don't look rich at all. At least the rich people don't talk as much nonsense as you do. It's none of your business whether I'm cold after I've been in the water for a long time.
If you take a wrong look, just think that I made a wrong look."
The smell of angry talk is very strong.
After hearing this, Yu Qing and Mu Aoti had expressionless and calm expressions. At most, they only pursed the corners of their mouths.
"You're a boatman, you don't even know how to make money by being friendly. Forget it, I won't argue with you anymore."
Nanzhu dropped the words and turned around, no longer arguing, clasping his hands on his abdomen, as if the old god was there, he was finally told to shut up.
On the other hand, Yu Qing, who was standing on the bow of the ship with his hands behind his hands, suddenly frowned as he looked at the faint wisps of mist floating around him. He quickly glanced at Zilan Island and suddenly said: "Stop the ship!"
