Lingxian Zhenjun

Chapter 31 Watching the demon spirit in the river tide, staying overnight in the mourning hall of the small town

The setting sun hangs on the river bank.

The waterfowl neighed and flew across the high-hanging sails to the magnificent red clouds in the distance. Amid the sound of rolling water waves, the sparkling waves were pushed away by the large sailing ship.

The boatman holding his trouser legs and walking barefoot on the side of the boat, exploring the water potential, surrounded by boat passengers with their own circles gathered together, some scholars are holding books and looking at the undulating river surface and telling their classmates about their aspirations; Huddled in the cabin with his wife and daughter, the little girl curiously wanted to go to the deck, but was pulled back by her mother; the traveler who was looking forward to returning home earlier leaned on the wooden railing to look at the other side, and then attracted the captain's scolding.

"Be careful of falling down. The water below this section of the river is turbulent and has whirlpools. If it's raining, don't dare to go here."

The boatman dragged the long oar to drive the guest back, he pointed to his waist, and said to the man, as if he said to the boat passengers around him: "It's not that the old man is pedantic and doesn't let you watch the river, but it's too dangerous. When encountering turbulent currents, people may fall if there is a turbulence. When I sail the boat all year round, I also have to tie ropes so that if I fall into the river, I will not be washed away by the undercurrent."

Chen Yuan's gaze fell to the opponent's waist. The rope wrapped the animal's skin, probably because if it fell into the water, the rope would not hurt the person.At this time, Sun Zhengde came up from the bilge together with his master. One was wearing Taoist robes and the other was in ragged clothes. They went to Chen Yuan and sat down, causing several people who were originally close to this side to get up and go elsewhere.

"Sacred weapon..." The fat Taoist poohed at the backs of the opponents.

The crazy old man followed suit, but suddenly stopped, his ears turned sideways as if listening to something.

In the front part of the boat, the boatman who was exploring the water swayed slightly to maintain a delicate balance with the undulating boat, and then stopped. Looking at the river in the distance, his face changed slightly, and he quickly asked the boatman to stabilize the boat.

The sudden change made everyone on the boat a little puzzled. In a moment, the four boatmen ran to the sides of the boat and threw seven or eight baskets filled with bluestones into the water.

Chen Yuan stood up curiously, and saw two big ships sailing not far away doing the same thing.

Encountered a big wave?
Before thinking about it, the boatman at the bow of the boat over there has already run back to everyone, telling everyone to return to the cabin quickly, or hold on to the guardrail.

"Unlucky, I caught up with the river tide."

Chen Yuan grabbed the guardrail, pinched her fingers in her sleeves, and pointed to Sun Zhengde and the master next to her. The three of them seemed to have taken root, and they were tightly connected to the deck. As the ship gradually swayed, they stood firmly in place. .

The surrounding passengers were shaken to one side and ran into the cabin in a frenzy. The next moment, a gust of cold wind blew across the river, mixed with water vapor, and rushed towards them.

Those who were still outside the cabin heard the sound of water waves "crashing" in the distance, and at the end of the east, a white wave rolled across the river and swept in.

"There's more over there!"

Someone shouted in the cabin, and on the west side of the river, the same white wave was flowing down the river, rushing towards the big wave that was coming from the opposite side.

In the eyes of everyone, two waves of water across the river collided at the moment the hull was arched.

'Boom party'

With the sound of huge waves crashing, the swaying river water swayed the three large ships docked on the river, and the people in the cabin suddenly rolled into a ball. Pull out the guardrail.

Chen Yuan also stretched out her hand at this time, grabbed from the air, and pulled the two passengers who were too late to enter the cabin from outside the guardrail. Immediately, the fingers scattered, and she continued to watch the wonders of the river as if nothing happened.

The next moment, the aftermath of the impact hadn't stopped yet, and in the middle of the river, a jet of water rushed four or five feet away, many people watching were stunned.

Ok?
Chen Yuan frowned, and a white shadow flashed across the churning waves, and the crazy old man seemed to have seen it too, holding on to the guardrail excitedly, pointing at the turbulent water, jumping and jumping happily: "Fish! Big fish!" ! And the big black bastard!"

Chen Yuan extended two fingers together and wiped her eyes. At this time, the water waves on the river had stabilized, but under the blessing of mana, under the undulating water surface, a huge fish shadow was vaguely seen wandering there. Its huge body was almost the same as this It is about the size of a big boat, and by swinging its tail, it can create waves on the river.

Under the river on the other side, a round black shadow confronted the big fish.

'The two water waves just now should have been caused by the fighting between them. '

The wind and waves on the river calmed down, and the three large ships sailed towards the middle of the river. Compared with the hull of the ship, the two dark shadows below looked even bigger.Chen Yuan stood behind the guardrail, pinching the formula to prevent accidents, but fortunately, passing above them, neither of them intended to attack the ship.

'It's a good show for me. '

Chen Yuan stood on the side of the boat and thanked the two spirits down the river.

"There will be fate in the future, and I will invite the two of you to watch a good show."

At this moment, everyone on the boat didn't know that there were two huge monsters lurking underwater, so they came out of the cabin one after another, talking excitedly about the scene just now.

"Excellent, I've never heard of such a wonderful sight on the Canglan River."

"...Yeah, I knew it earlier, I'll sit a few more times."

"Just now someone yelled Big Fish, bastard..."

In the chattering words, the boatman said with a smile: "This kind of spectacle, you may not be able to see it once a year, and occasionally it can appear twice in a few months. If you want to see it every day, I'm afraid it won't work. But ah But those of us who sail the boat know that it must be the Dragon King of the River who sailed underwater, otherwise there would be no such momentum, gentlemen, if you want to take a boat in the future, you might as well go to the Dragon King Temple in Linjiang County to offer incense, haha..."

"Shangxiang bless me to wait to cross the river?" someone asked.

"No, bless you to see this scene again!"

What the boatman said made everyone on the boat burst into laughter, and Chen Yuan laughed along with him. He looked at the river that had gone far behind, but unfortunately the two large underwater creatures were no longer visible.

If the people on the boat knew that they passed over the two big guys just now, they would still be able to laugh at this moment.

'If I hadn't stepped into Taoism, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to see such a scene, just like ordinary people, I only saw a wonderful scene. '

The river wind blew his robes flying, he stood on the side of the boat and sighed.

Soon, the three ferryboats arrived at the ferry across the river almost at the same time. After everyone disembarked, they stepped on their feet hard and felt much more at ease.Chen Yuan and the Taoist came out of the cabin, the sky was getting dark, there were not many people at the ferry, and the only hawkers left were packing up their stalls and preparing to leave.

In the light of the lantern hanging on the bow, the big ship docked on the other side was also driven out at this time.

"unlucky."

On the boat he was on just now, the boatman stood at the bow and cursed at the chariots and horses coming out of the big boat over there, then turned around and shouted for the boatmen to fetch wicker.

"Why is this old man scolding others for no reason?" The fat Taoist lit up the lantern, held it forward to shine a light on it, and then, with an ouch, turned his body to the side of the ox cart.

In the dim vision, I saw two carriages coming, the one behind had no carriage, and a black coffin was lying on the back of the carriage, as if a few men from the guard were urged by the leader to go towards the official road.

"Going away?" The fat Taoist turned back and looked at the convoy that had sunk into the darkness, "No wonder the chartered boat was supposed to carry coffins across the river."

"It should be a wealthy family who died as a guest. There is nothing to say, let's go."

Chen Yuan has no taboos about these things, after all, it is human nature for fallen leaves to return to their roots.Afterwards, after tidying up the things in the car, he went to the official road with Taoist and Master.

The moonlight was cold, shining on the surrounding forests and mountains.

Under the pale moonlight, the bullock cart carried three people, and creaking and moaning spread across the dead road.

After about three miles, there were lights shining in the night far away. After a while, at the fork ahead, the outline of a small town appeared in Chen Yuan's sight.

"There should be an inn in the town, and I will rest here tonight."

As she said that, Chen Yuan drove the ox cart into the entrance of the town, the long street was dark, and pedestrians could hardly be seen on the street, and occasionally there were a few barking dogs coming from the deep alleys and houses.

Wang Wang Wang --

In the faint sound of dogs barking, in front of the street, I finally saw the hanging lanterns, and the word 'Yunfu Inn' was written on the banners outside.

"Dude! There's a customer here!" Sun Zhengde was already very hungry and thirsty. As soon as he arrived, he rushed to the store without waiting for the bullock cart to hear about it. He was stunned as soon as he entered.

Chen Yuan took her master and went in behind. In the middle of the night, there were three or four tables of guests in this inn, all of which were a group of men. They looked at the three people at the door and buried their heads in their meals in silence.

"These people look familiar..."

When the fat Taoist looked at these men and muttered, the shop guy walked over with a bitter face.

"Three, do you want to eat or stay in a hotel?"

"It's so late, are you going to let the three of us live outside? Hurry up and drive the ox cart to the backyard, and then serve the best dishes in the store."

Sun Zhengde didn't talk nonsense with him, and hurried to an empty table, put down the stool that was turned over on the table, and invited Chen Yuan and the crazy old man to sit down.

At this time, the shopkeeper of the inn also came over, memorized the dishes, hesitated for a while, and said: "If the three of you want to stay in the inn, I'm sorry, it's already full. If you really want to stay, you can only live in the backyard." , but it's a little..."

After that, he was a little bit uncomfortable to continue.

After a pause, he still said:
"If you don't think it's unlucky...you can live there."
