I didn't intend to become a fairy

Chapter 421 Etiquette in Barbarism
Song You asked them about the customs of the Long Arm Country and the Yasha Country, which countries are there overseas, and what real and strange things they often encountered when sailing on the sea. No matter what they asked, Captain Jia and the descendants of Yasha recognized Answer seriously, and when you realize that he is really interested in these things, you will speak in more detail.

Song You listened very well.

The cat also sat seriously at his feet, listening to what they said, and occasionally licking its paws.

The meals on board are served.

Captain Jia is an interesting person, and the meals prepared for Song You are also very interesting——

Half of the delicate and exquisite dishes have achieved the ultimate that can be done on the sea, with an obvious coastal style and the delicacy of Yangzhou's prosperity, and they are also served with snacks and light wine.Half of it is boiled pork leg and a whole sheep head, it doesn't look like entertaining guests, but like offering to gods in sacrificial ceremonies.

I also prepared shredded meat and fish for Empress Sanhua, both raw and cooked, served on delicate plates.

It's almost not obvious to put the joss sticks.

The swallow was afraid of being born and did not come in.

But Song You guessed that he probably also had a share.

It was an extremely tall and ferocious figure, about ten feet tall, with a green face and fangs, and its body was covered with tendon meat. It was wrapped in old cloth and leaves, and was decorated with shells and bones strung on straw ropes. Its face and body were painted with colorful Pigments, holding a wooden spear in his hand, thicker than a human arm.

"How many times have you stepped down?"

"Mostly."

"Wow..."

"..."

Although the taste of the dishes on this table is also very light.

Song You was a little surprised.

"My ancestors made great contributions to the diplomacy between the Yasha Kingdom and the Dayan people." Song You chuckled softly while petting the cat.

"Then it will delay several people for half a day." Song You looked back at the heavy fog outside, "Today's heavy fog, I think the captain will not get up for a while, so I don't dare to delay the captain's time, so at noon Send Ye Gong back to the boat when the fog clears."

"Whatever you want, sir, just use it." Captain Jia quickly cupped his hands, "Anyway, we have already stayed in the Long Arm Country for half a year, and we are not in a hurry. Sir, I will use Ye Gong for a few days, and I will wait here for Ye Gong." Just a few days with Mr.

"We don't know why. Logically speaking, we should have been three hundred miles away from the land yesterday, and the Yasha Kingdom often appeared at a place more than 1000 miles away from Dayan. No matter how strong the wind and waves were last night, it should not be overnight You took us so far away in a short while, and you haven’t lost too far from Mr.’s boat, right?”

"I haven't found it before today, but look here..." Song You turned to look at the white mist outside, "I think I have found it."

"gentlemen……"

"Let's take the gentleman there." Ye Xinrong simply stood up, "Talk to the gentleman while walking."

"Dare not, dare not." The descendant of Yasha, Ye Xinrong, waved his hands quickly, but asked immediately, "Sir, if you didn't come to rescue us specially, what are you looking for?"

"Counting this time, it's the second time." Ye Xinrong replied, "But the Yashas of the Yasha Kingdom will also go out to sea, with a canoe or simply riding a wooden stick, and catch big fish with small fish, sometimes running far Or when encountering wind and waves, they will also encounter the boats of the Dayan people. There are also fierce Yashas who float on the sea and become pirates. One only needs to speak Yaksha words to them, and no matter how vicious Yaksha is, it will leave automatically.”

Ye Xinrong immediately turned around and asked, talked back and forth with Yasha several times, danced and danced, and then said to Song You: "This Yasha has really heard of Lilliputian, but he hasn't been there either. He only said that the sun rises from here. It takes about a day to go by boat, there is a kingdom of beasts, once you get there, ask for directions, and you will find it.”

"Thank you for the good wine and food, I was very satisfied." Song You smiled slightly, "I also thank the two of you for telling the stories that have enriched me and Mistress Sanhua a lot."

"Is that so..."

The burly Yasha's descendant followed closely behind, and even ordered the people around him to bring a little piggy with him.

This is the original form of the paper Yaksha spell that I encountered in Yidu.

"Let's go."

Ye Xinrong took over the oars very diligently, rowed the small boat, pierced through the thick fog, and also cut through the smooth sea surface, heading towards Yacha Island under the watchful eyes of a group of people on the sailing boat.

"It should be something strange."

"Okay." Ye Xinrong asked Yaksha again and translated to Song You, "He said he would ask the king, but there is a high probability that he will not be able to go up, and the sacrifice will last for three days, so he urged us to leave quickly."

"Like the Yaksha Kingdom?"

"The kingdom of beasts?"

It looks like a very ordinary beach and mountain forest. The size of the land cannot be seen in the thick fog, but a figure standing on the edge of the beach can be seen.

"Yasha's dialect is different from Dayan's dialect..."

"Exactly."

"It means that outsiders can still go to the Yaksha country before?"

"..."

As soon as he woke up today, when he was still on the boat, the aura of heaven and earth told him about the unusualness of this place, but he didn't expect that the unusualness he was looking for was right next to him.

When the boat approached, the Yaksha's eyes were wide open, and he yelled at them.

Now that I actually look at it, it can be regarded as an eye-opener.

The two of them, the cat and the little piggy, had returned to the boat, and the swallow had also flown back.

"They don't know either."

Sanhuamao immediately chased after it.

"The villain first asked if he could let us go up."

"Say a few words." Ye Xinrong said, "Yasha Kingdom has always disliked outsiders going there, and the recent sea turmoil has made it even more unwelcoming. Our boat drifted to the coast of Yasha Country this morning, and a Yasha patrol came to interrogate us. Thanks to the fact that the villain looks somewhat similar to Yasha and can also speak Yasha language, this didn't make them angry, otherwise I'm afraid they will be in danger."

Then he cupped his hands and asked respectfully:
"Have you found it, sir?"

"So close?"

"Meow~"

"Let me ask……"

"That's what he said."

The descendants of Yasha froze for a moment, then turned their heads involuntarily, and looked at Captain Jia.

Not only the method of paper yaksha, but also many religions or folklore have the shadow of yaksha, either because of its strength and ferocity, it is cited as a guardian deity, or its fierceness is exaggerated, and it is passed down as a terrible ghost to frighten children or people. Becoming a powerful general under the great demon, or making a spell into the appearance of a yaksha, it has multiple attributes of fierceness, frightening and religious meaning at the same time.

"Did you talk to Yasha from Yasha Kingdom this morning?"

Ye Xinrong continued to row the boat.

Song You couldn't help but feel a little regretful, and then asked, "Please ask me one last question. It is said that there is a small country in the sea, and it should not be far from here. I wonder if he knows how to get there?"

"Is that so..."

"Dayan has always had legends about yakshas, ​​most likely because someone encountered yakshas at sea a long time ago, but after it was spread to Dayan Kingdom, there have been many rumors about it." Ye Xinrong said to the Taoist while rowing the boat. Narrated, "Many stories say that Yasha cannibalism is very fierce. In fact, Yasha does not eat people. It usually feeds on fishing and wild animals in the mountains. It is true that it is fierce and violent. But since my great-grandfather was in Yasha many years ago After the incident in the country, the yakshas also gradually learned how to make fire and roast meat, how to raise pigs, cattle, sheep and livestock, and to farm, and they became more friendly to outsiders.”

"Yes……"

Song You thought it was interesting, so he couldn't help smiling, but he didn't say much, he just thanked him and moved his chopsticks.

"Then ask him if he can let us go to the island to have a look after the sacrifice is over?"

"It is to find the strangeness in the two stories."

Soon Ye Xinrong turned around again, with an uneasy expression on his face, and replied to Song You: "It is said that the Dragon King of the Sea has been moody recently, often causing waves on the sea, destroying passing ships, and even causing damage to the Yasha Kingdom and the surrounding countries. Not a small impact, so they will hold sacrifices, offering sacrifices and praying to the Sea Dragon King."

Song You saw Ye Xinrong's expression.

"It's the Yasha warriors patrolling the sea from the Yasha Kingdom. They should be on duty here because of the big ship that visited in the early morning, or they were attracted by the sound of our rowing water." Ye Xinrong whispered to Song You.

"I'll trouble you to talk to him."

"That's just right." Song You said, "It's always rude not to say anything about the visit, lest we wait at sea for people from the Yaksha country to come."

"Why does the Sea Dragon King make waves?"

"Mr. Dade."

A piece of land slowly appeared in the thick fog.

"Don't dare to be..."

Song Xun saluted and went out first.

Ye Xinrong looked away in embarrassment: "He said that a big sacrifice is being held on the island, no matter what I say, we won't be allowed to go up."

Song You kept looking at this Yasha.

It should be because he has always thought that the sea waves are caused by storms, and he can bless himself by praying to the Sea Dragon King, and he has been bringing a boat full of people to throw pigs, cattle, sheep and other sacrifices into the sea, but he did not expect that he would actually hear from Yasha. It was said that these big waves came from the Sea Dragon King, which made people a little confused for a while.

The figure gradually became clear.

After a moment-

"It's not his work alone. Since then, Yasha has become more widely known, and more people have come to the country of Yasha." Ye Xinrong said, "The country of Yasha is rich in a kind of gemstone, which can glow red like blood at night. Light can be used as a lamp. If you tap it lightly, the light will be like a beam, and it will be a small dot on the ground. Before that, many sea merchants in Yangzhou and Langzhou flocked to it, carrying pigs, cattle, sheep, cloth and ceramics to search for the Yasha country at sea. Unfortunately, they soon discovered that this kind of gemstone would not work for at most half a year after leaving the Yaksha country. In addition, the Yaksha country was too difficult to find, and gradually fewer merchants were looking for the Yaksha country at sea. "

"To tell you the truth, sir, after last night, we got separated in the small boat we took. We went to the Yaksha country early this morning, but we didn't go ashore." Ye Xinrong quickly cupped his hands and said, "In fact, the coast of the Yaksha country is less than a day behind us in the thick fog. Lidi, if you want to go, the villain can take you there, and the villain can speak Yasha dialect."

Ye Xinrong started talking again.

Yasha seemed to be very friendly to his fellow clansmen. Although Ye Xinrong was petite and had a weird face, but when he heard Yesha talk, the Yasha warrior's attitude became much more gentle, and he almost answered every question.

Ye Xinrong still spoke to Song You in a low voice, then pulled his neck, and also spoke Yasha words to that side, and the two sides talked back and forth.

The oars paddled the water, and the boat approached.

"Sir, we haven't thanked you for saving your life. How dare you ask him to thank you? Don't dare to accept it." Captain Jia waved his hands repeatedly.

"The Sea Dragon King set off waves?"

It is true that there are endless seafood on the sea, and there are all kinds of oil, salt and seasonings in the quilt bag, but after all, it is inconvenient to cook in a small boat, and the mouth is very light these days.

"Sacrifice?"

"Thank you, and thank you too."

Song You had a humble attitude and saluted them.

Ye Xinrong also said a few words to the patrolling Yasha, probably conveying his thanks, and then threw the little piggy he brought over from the boat as a thank you.After taking it, Yacha was stunned for a moment, but he refused to let Song You's boat go away. He shouted a few words with the wooden spear, and then ran back to fetch a stone and threw it back on the boat.

The ritual of Yasha is not inferior to others.
