Chapter 1: Traveling the River and Praying for the Dragon
The three of them walked together and arrived at the port. Jinlin City and Shixiang City were not far apart, so they were also on the lower reaches of the Langjiang River, so both cities had businesses that depended on the water.
For example, fishing, so in comparison, agriculture accounts for a smaller proportion in Jinlin City and Shixiang City compared with other cities.
Just like the motherland in the previous life was vast and rich in resources, the landforms and climates in different regions allowed the motherland in the previous life to produce most of the delicious food.
Or because of the map, Qin Yuelou was unable to form an effective judgment on the planet where Dajing was located.
After all, when comparing the past and present lives, there are similarities and differences.
Golden Scale City and Qinhuai River, don't they correspond to those from the previous life...?
Standing at the bow of the ship, Qin Yuelou didn't find anything suspicious, let alone anyone suspicious, so he asked the Mu family and his son to stay calm and relax immediately.
There are neither too many nor too few passengers on the passenger ship, and they are traveling along the river. For the boatmen who shake the oars in the cabin, this is the most labor-saving thing.
It was also nighttime, and although the boat was still moving, the speed had slowed down a lot. After all, the boatmen also had to sleep.
However, after the ship sailed for a while, the anchor was thrown off and anchored in one place.
Qin Yuelou felt strange, so he went to ask the boss of the ship.
"He Chuantou, why don't you continue?" Qin Yuelou asked the captain.
The so-called "ship's head" means the captain. Qin Yuelou also found it novel when he got on the boat, so he started chatting with the ship's head. The ship's head was indifferent at first, until Qin Yuelou threw a gold leaf, and his attitude became clear.
It took a sharp turn.
So now He Chuantou's attitude towards Qin Yuelou is to answer every question and is a little flattering.
Just for a casual meal, no shame.
"Oh, Mr. Qin, you don't know something about this. The Langjiang River itself is also covered with mud and sand, sometimes mixed with rocks and so on. Originally, when we walked this road, it was basically unobstructed, but somehow, today we finally
Experienced sailors have detected that a lot of sand and gravel have accumulated in front of us, and these sand and gravel have accumulated into a 'reef' in the water, making it impossible for us to get through." He Chuantou said with a sad face.
In ancient times, ships had fixed channels, especially main channels and sea channels. They were explored by predecessors or sailors who were familiar with the terrain. Sailors would judge based on the undercurrent caused by the reef. Experienced sailors would use it during the day.
It can be observed that more experienced sailors can also observe through sight and hearing at night, and then draw a course and spread it out.
He Chuantou had also been to the sea before, and most of these boatmen and sailors were his old team. It was also because of the unpredictable weather at sea, and because a shipwreck caused some brothers to be buried in the belly of fish, so He Chuantou took the rest with him.
The brothers returned to the inland and depended on the water. After all, although the dangers of big rivers were high, they were better than the ever-changing sea.
However, this road itself was passed by He Chuantou, and there was nothing wrong with it originally. But who knew that such a strange thing would suddenly happen today.
This was discovered by Fang Senyan, the most experienced sailor among them. If Fang Senyan had not discovered it prematurely, the ship would have crashed into it, and the slightly better result would have been a shipwreck and a small number of casualties.
"Could it be that the Dragon King of the River wouldn't let us pass?" He Chuantou murmured to himself.
Qin Yuelou shook his head and expressed his opinion.
"God should not play with human beings so maliciously. If God plays with human beings maliciously, then He is not God."
He Chuantou subconsciously took over the conversation and asked, "What is that?"
"An evil spirit that should be killed."
Qin Yuelou said, and then added,
"But, this thing is probably not done by 'gods', but by some kind of demon."
Qin Yuelou thought about what Mu Xiaohuan told him about not letting the boat go.
When the boat reached this point, there were no other tributaries for navigation, so it had no choice but to return. Therefore, this may also be in response to the old woman's words of "not allowed to leave."
"Then are we going to return home?" Qin Yuelou asked He Chuantou.
"Oh, yes, when we return to the voyage, we have to tell the bosses of other ships what happened here. Then everyone will have to come and clean up the underwater reefs here? Logically speaking, this matter cannot be accomplished overnight, so we will
I haven't passed here for two or three days, how could such a thing happen?" He Chuantou shook his head helplessly, "Sen Yan said that it was not a reef, but accumulated sand and gravel. The largest stone blocked most of the channel.
...You can't get through it by force, and it's the middle of the night and you can't see the rocks clearly. Tsk...that's unlucky."
Hearing this, Qin Yuelou thought for a while and then spoke.
"It's okay. I know a little about the method of sacrifice. Maybe I can sacrifice to the Jiang Dragon King and ask the Jiang Dragon King to send some water tribe soldiers from the Dragon Palace in the river to clean up these so-called reefs for us. You also said before that this reef is not a
It's a whole, but it's made up of accumulations of mud, sand and rocks, right?"
"Well, yes, that's right." Boss He looked at Qin Yuelou dumbfounded.
He originally thought that Mr. Qin would be the kind of rich man who spends money generously and talks extraordinaryly after throwing away a gold leaf.
But this rich young man would still offer sacrifices to King Jiang Long? This is a bit... fantasy, right?
"No, Mr. Qin, do you really know how to sacrifice to King Jiang Long?" Boss He didn't believe it, so he continued to ask.
How can I offer sacrifices to King Jiang Long? But it’s not like I don’t have other options, really.
"I understand a little, I understand a little, I understand a little bit," Qin Yuelou said gently.
Seeing Qin Yuelou's confident answer, Boss He also had the idea of letting Qin Yuelou give it a try. After all, Qin Yuelou gave him a golden leaf, so it didn't matter if he failed.
"Then...do you need anything?"
"Well, just some paper will be enough." Qin Yuelou said, and as he waved, he held a stack of paper in his hand, handed it to Boss He, and then said,
"Boss He, please distribute these papers and fold them into aquatic creatures. Any fish, shrimp or crab will do. If not, you can shape it into a fish, shrimp, crab, or cut it into the shape of a fish, shrimp, and crab."
To show your holiness in front of others, you cannot do everything yourself.
Magicians and jugglers, even if they don't ask for help, will find some unrelated people and ask these people to check their props.
And Qin Yuelou waved his hand and conjured up a pile of paper, which also made Boss He believe Qin Yuelou's statement.
At that moment, Mr. He took the papers away, woke up the boatmen and sailors, and asked them to take action together.
Then, Qin Yuelou harvested a bunch of horrible paper fish, shrimps and crabs. The shape was a bit hard to complain about, but they barely looked like fish or shrimps and crabs, and they were all placed in the basket.
The boatmen and sailors also gathered on the deck, holding lanterns in their hands, wanting to see how Qin Yue Tower offered sacrifices to King Jiang Long.
Qin Yuelou placed the basket on the bow and side of the ship.
Since he wants to show his holiness in front of others, the scene should be done well.
He stretched out his hand to pick up a pile of paper objects, and then dropped them down calmly, mumbling something.
Although there is no special "Book of Sacrifice to the Dragon God", who is Qin Yuelou?
There was still some ink in his stomach, so he spoke quite leisurely, speaking clearly and slowly, and then threw the paper creation down.
"Chaos first opened, the universe was first laid, the dragon ancestor painted the fields, and the mountains and rivers were first ordered. The clouds moved and the rain fell, and the rain fell on them.
The nine sons of the saint are responsible for the division of power. They carry heavy burdens and have long blessings and longevity. Chi kiss and look around, and the road is smooth and safe. Pulao sounds and melons are endless. Bixiu is majestic and the people are happy. Pixiu has good luck and brings me wealth.
.If you lie like a fish in summer, you will be safe all year round. You will be happy with your talents when you are a prisoner, and you will win the laurels. The lion king of Suan Ni will achieve great success when you travel to Pan. The door god of pepper picture, the house will be safe."
In order to worship the merits of this sacrifice, I pray to the Dragon King of the world:
May you be kind and kind, and bless me. Good luck and good fortune, long life and good fortune. Good things and good things for the people, and eternal peace.
If we encounter obstacles now, we hope that the Dragon King of Jiang will show mercy and send shrimp soldiers and crabs to clear away the obstacles for us.
This pearl is so small and careless that it is disrespectful."
Guiding Qi, the water vapor filled the air, and a heavy fog appeared on the riverside. As soon as those paper creations came into contact with the fog, they turned into swimming fish, shrimps and crabs, and were thrown into the river by Qin Yuelou.
among.
Qin Yuelou also condensed the water vapor, transformed it into shining beads, and sprinkled them into the river.
After all, he doesn't know if there is really a Jianglong King in Langjiang, but if there is, then he has nothing to fear. He has flattered him first and then given tribute. If he is really discovered, he will not be beaten.
.
Even if we really want to fight, we may not be able to defeat him.
But having said that, when it comes to creatures like dragons, whether they are from the East or the West, they all seem to like "bulingbuling" things, and they should probably like shiny beads.
On the universal function of alienation.
These alienated creatures with life have also been planted with some powerful techniques by Qin Yuelou, and they are also trying their best to complete the tasks assigned to them by Qin Yuelou.
That is to remove the obstacles that have accumulated in front of you.
Because it is just an accumulation of sand, earth and rocks, it is a little less solid in front of these fish, shrimps and crabs blessed by powerful techniques.
The smaller fish eat the sediment, nibbling bits and pieces of what can be eaten, while the larger fish, shrimps and crabs pull out or bulldoze the rocks piece by piece starting from the bottom.
If there is a problem with the foundation, then in the river, this so-called obstacle will be washed away.
Then the fish, shrimps and crabs worked together to push the boulder out.
Although the sound and movement were somewhat weakened underwater, some strange things in the water could still be heard and seen.
Qin Yuelou used his six ears to listen to the situation underwater. When everything was over, it was only a little longer than a stick of incense.
Qin Yuelou put the basket down.
"Everyone, you can go. The fish, shrimps and crabs sent by King Jianglong helped us clear the obstacles. At the end of this voyage, everyone remember to give more livestock tributes to King Jianglong when we return." Qin Yuelou said with a smile,
He put his own credit on Jiang Longwang.
He handed the ship boss a cloth bag, which was filled with gold, but it was all pure gold that he had transformed with stones.
"You have also worked hard all night. After purchasing these sacrificial supplies, you can keep some to supplement your family income."
Qin Yuelou ordered, but all he could see were the boatmen and sailors in front of him looking behind Qin Yuelou in horror.
Qin Yuelou was puzzled and turned back.
But I saw... a white dragon with a beautiful appearance, strong and slender... a white dragon.
Those shining beads were still held by the water and hovered around it, and they were extremely numerous.
Bailong lowered his head and looked at Qin Yuelou carefully and curiously.
The dragon's claw stretched out and touched Qin Yuelou's head, as if to say, "You're a very smart boy. I like the beads you gave me very much."
After touching Qin Yuelou's head, Bailong left.
By the way, I also took away a lot of shrimps and crabs the size of a basin.
There are also giant fish the size of small boats.
Qin Yuelou turned around and found that the way the boatmen and sailors looked at him had changed.
