Steward Zhang slapped his thigh: "So, everyone discussed the way together, and decided to invite the Jiang Dragon King, the Jiang Dragon King's ability to turn the river over the sea and send the boat up, it shouldn't be a problem, but then I didn't expect it to be a real thing." So, this custom has been passed down from generation to generation, and every time there are enough boats, all the boat owners who want to go to the top will work together to contribute money and efforts, and ask Taoist priests to worship the Dragon King of the River, and offer cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks. Then, the Dragon King of the River exerted his strength and sent us out of its realm. ”

On the big river, there are many river dragon kings, and their territory is section by piece, and it does not cover the entire Yangtze River, it can only be said that it covers a small part.

So, the ghost cried and asked, "What about the area where there is no Jiang Dragon King?"

Steward Zhang sighed: "What else can I do, if you have a mountain god, please ask the mountain god for help, if you don't have a mountain god, you will rely on the oars, and if you can't row, you will rely on the slender man." That's why when you go down, it's not expensive to take a boat, but if you want to go up, it's much more expensive. ”

"Speaking of which, we all make some money on the ship, and it is not surprising that every time the ship goes back and forth, a few people die. When you go down, there are goods on the boat, and it is very common to encounter bandits, and in some places you can use money as money to buy money, while in other places, you have to fight with knives. When I went up, there was no goods on the ship, and the profits were much less, and there were fewer bandits encountered, but ah, I am tired, and there are many good young men, all of whom are tired to death on this road. Honorable guest, look at the ropes piled up on the bow of the ship, they are red, they are blood!"

Speaking of this, Steward Zhang felt that he shouldn't say this, and quickly changed the topic: "By the way, distinguished guest, you must not fish on this road." ”

"Why is that?" the ghost cried with interest.

"You can feed the fish, but you can't fish, and now the fish in this water are all dragon sons and grandsons, and they are helping us push the boat below." If we hurt them, we won't have any good fruit to eat. ”

Ghost Cry raised an eyebrow: "Oh, what's going on?"

"Naturally. Steward Zhang affirmed: "Today night, we can all sleep boldly and boldly." With the blessing of the Dragon King of the River, it will be smooth sailing. But after tonight, when you leave this realm, you will have to suffer! So, please rest well tonight. ”

"Thanks for the reminder. The ghost cried and asked, "Is it okay to go into the water?"

"It's better not to go into the water, because it's dangerous in the water. And now the boat is moving fast, and as soon as you get out of the water, you will be thrown far away. At this time, the ship will not stop and wait for someone. ”

Ghost Cry nodded, "Taught." ”

"By the way, you take this incense and smoke it on your body, those guys in the water know the smell of incense, so that if you accidentally fall into the water, at least you won't encounter something in the water, and if the water is good enough, you can go ashore. It's just that don't want to go back to the ship. ”

"Thank you!"

Before dark, a large number of pieces of meat were thrown into the river, and after a while, the speed of the boat increased again. When the sun was in the air, everyone stopped what they were doing, and the passengers returned to their rooms one after another.

The night was very windy and bitterly cold, and it was autumn, and everyone didn't wear much clothes to keep out the cold, so it was never a good idea to stand on the deck and blow the wind.

In the room, Ghost Cry smoked incense on himself and the big black horse, pushed open the window, and beckoned. Outside the window, the moonlight reflected by the rising waves.

The big black horse came to the window, stepped on the edge of the window with both hooves, and then leaped down and smashed into the water, causing a huge splash. It was loud, and it was certain that the sound of the wind and the tide and the constant sound of something hitting the bottom of the boat were masked and unobtrusive.

Ghost Cry stepped on the window edge, and Cai Wei grabbed Ghost Cry's sleeve: "Big Brother Ghost, can you not go?"

Ghost Cry shook his head and said: "With what I know about him, he will definitely try his best to kill me, no matter what, the first strike is stronger, he will never think that I will swim back to kill him, don't worry, I will be back soon." ”

After speaking, he broke free of Cai Wei's hand, jumped down with a knife and a big mouth that was constantly twisting and struggling, and with a "plop", a fierce man plunged into the water.

Cai Wei rushed to the window, only to see a white splash of water, and then quickly left behind by the boat. Her eyes were full of worry, in fact, she was not worried that Ghost Cry would be hurt by Bai Luo, Ghost Cry was the big hero in her mind, in her heart, whether it was playing Yang or Yin, Bai Luo was not Ghost Cry's opponent, what she was worried about was what to do if Ghost Cry was in danger in the water.

The great rivers have raised countless people. But they are not benevolent mothers, they have not only raised countless people, but also countless dangerous monsters. In the water, no matter what danger you encounter, it is not surprising. Not to mention single distress, it is not clear how many boats capsize each year.

Once the ship leaves the realm of the River Dragon King, the danger will increase dozens of times, and at that time, the ship will become a fortress for people, and once it leaves the water under the ship, it is easy to encounter danger. This danger comes not only from the rapids, but also from the youkai in the water.

"Big brother ghost, you must come back in time!"

Underwater, it's dark. Countless huge black shadows passed by the ghost crying. In the depths of darkness, beneath the water, there seemed to be a huge black shadow lurking there, it was so big, almost as big as the ship Devil Cried was on.

It doesn't seem to be far from Ghost Cry, and when you look up, you can swallow Ghost Cry. Also, it doesn't feel obvious on the boat, but once you're in the water, it's very obvious.

This huge black shadow is controlling an incomparably surging demonic aura, exerting its ability to overturn the river and the sea. The wind on the water and the waves on the surface of the water are all controlled by it.

Whether it was the huge body or the surging demonic energy, it made Ghost Cry's heart shake, and the beating of his heart became slow. And the big mouth was so frightened that he was entangled in Ghost Cry, trembling all the time.

As for the black shadows around him who kept shuttling all the time, Ghost Cry condensed and saw a rough idea. It was a crocodile, and they were driving the schools of fish, pushing the bottom of the boats and making them sped up.

Comparing the huge black shadow below, the ghost cried and knew that Steward Zhang was wrong. Those fish and shrimp are not the dragon sons and grandsons of the Water Dragon King, but the food of the Water Dragon King's dragon sons and grandsons. As for fishing, it's grabbing food with those dragon sons and grandsons, so it's no wonder if you're not unlucky.

It seems that the Dragon King of Jiangning City in this area is a crocodile. This is not good news.

Being in the midst of a school of crocodiles makes the ghost cry tense. Fortunately, perhaps because the incense worked, or perhaps because the crocodiles were full, they ignored the ghost cry and chased the boat away.

Spit out a few breaths of bubbles and burrow headlong out of the water. Ghost Cry wiped the water from his face, looking for the trace of the big black horse.

On the shore, he couldn't outrun the big black horse. In the water, he still can't swim the big black horse. The big black horse goes into the water when he has time, chasing the swimming fish, and even those fish can't swim it, and the ghost cry can't swim naturally. So this time I returned to Jiangning and returned to the ship, the most important thing was to rely on the big dark horse.

Oniwai poked its head out of Devilcry's shoulder, and Devilcry turned his head and grabbed Bigmouth, wrapped one end of it around the hilt and scabbard and tied it into a knot, and tied the other end to his body. Big Mouth struggled frantically, trying to get rid of this tyrant, but in the end he couldn't struggle, and couldn't help but let the ghost cry like a salted fish.

After doing all this, the ghost cried against the waves and went downstream, constantly slapping the water and jumping out of the water, taking advantage of this brief moment to find the traces of the big black horse.

Soon, he found the big dark horse. The teeth clenched into the little finger and let out a sharp whistle. When the big black horse heard this, he turned his head and swam happily towards Ghost Cry.

Ghost Cry breathed a sigh of relief, at this point, the plan had been completed three times.
