Chapter 11 Statue of the Dragon King
"Chen Jiu, I'm talking so hard that I'm dry. How do you hear this story?"
Chen Jiu was chewing a piece of gluten bear meat. After chewing it for a while, he swallowed it before saying:
"Mr. He tells it vividly and the story is good, but I still have something unknown."
"What's up?"
"These three jealous people are outside Chang'an City, so the government doesn't care?"
"It's just a remote small ferry, not a necessary way. Small officials can't afford to take care of them, and high officials are too lazy to take care of them, so they naturally don't look down on them."
He Wei paused,
"Over the years, many people from the world have come to Sanjijin after hearing the news, but either the conditions are not enough and cannot escort evil winds or evil ways, or the Taoist practice is too low, and it has become the food for fish and shrimps at the bottom of the river."
"There is only one Zhuangmao from Lingnan who has saved his life, but he has become crazy. He will tell everyone that Qin Da is reincarnated with a dragon fetus. After his death, he turned into a four-clawed resentment dragon, with dragon scales and long dragon horns. After a few years of crazy talk, he drowned himself in a basin."
"Dragon fetus..."
Chen Jiu touched his slightly stubble chin,
"It's interesting, so I want to go to Sannijin to take a look."
"You're just a fool."
He Wei patted Chen Jiu's forehead and said angrily,
"The stupid queen is angry and is not afraid of death. She will hit the wall upwards. The evil spirits of the three jealous people are soaring into the sky, and you look like you are born Zhou Zheng, and you are disgusted by Qin Da. Wouldn't you think your life is too long when you go there?"
"Thank you." Chen Jiu touched his face.
"The boy can't hear a good thing. Am I praising you for your appearance? I advise you to cherish your life!"
He Wei's old eyes glared,
"I agreed not to go."
"Okay, I won't go," Chen Jiu nodded, "I'll definitely not go."
...
Three jealousy, sparkling, no wind or rain.
Doves hovering.
On the river bank, Chen Jiu pushed aside the weeds under her feet and picked up a small piece of rotten wood from the soil.
The abandoned ferry was left without anyone to take care of it. After wind and rain, it had long disappeared, leaving only a few piles that were spreading to the water surface.
The old yellow-nine house of the Qin family is still there, half of which collapsed, becoming a cave for insects and snakes.
Chen Jiu summoned Fengtu's knife and stepped in.
[Yin Yang] Looking around, the ground was covered with rubble and snakes, and only the straw raincoat hanging on the wall caught his gaze.
The house was covered with dust, but the straw raincoat was not covered with dust, as if it was brand new.
【Raincoat】
If you stay in a dead house for a long time, the yin energy will be infiltrated.
Effect: Repel dust and deworming.
Quality: Excellent
Chen Jiu raised his knife and waved his hair gently towards the straw raincoat, and a few dead grass fell.
No exceptions.
As long as items containing Qi are used, the bitter boat will generally react regardless of their practicality. Yin Qi is also an external manifestation of "Qi". This [街博] is not only unique in dust and insect repellent, but also has the lowest "exquisite" evaluation.
"Mosquito meat is also meat."
After installing the [Exquisite]-grade bone mirror and lotus cross, the personal space was almost filled. Chen Jiu had to lift the phoenix knife on the right, carry the straw raincoat on the left, and continue to grop on the river bank.
The river is Qin Da’s home court. Although Chen Jiu is quite good in water, she has no ability to show her ability in water. If she rushes down the river, it would be too reckless.
My original plan was to look for clues in the Qin family's old house first, but after searching for a long time, I still found nothing.
"Free work."
The Qin family's old house is on the west bank and Chang'an City is close to the west bank. Chen Jiu first went to the ferry upstream, but was informed by the ship that the boat was bought, so he had to go to the arch bridge downstream to cross the river, which took a lot of trouble.
"It really doesn't work, I can only find a magic weapon to activate water..."
Chen Jiu was thinking, but the pigeons were still alive. A sudden storm broke out on the river, and a small boat swayed on the top of the wave, like a fish without fins, being slapped on the shore.
Boat?
Hasn’t San Jealousy Jin been abandoned long ago...
Chen Jiu tightly grasped the hilt of the knife, squinted his eyes, and stepped forward step by step.
There was a young woman lying on the side of the boat, with a pretty face, and a good silk and satin on her body. At this moment, she was wet, her scattered hair stuck to her forehead, and her clothes were soaked...
"Ahem."
Chenjiu retracted her gaze.
From the perspective of [Yin and Yang], it is just a mortal. Of course, the possibility of Yin and monsters who are good at disguise cannot be ruled out.
He poked out the back of the knife and patted it gently.
"Girl, are you okay?"
The woman coughed a few times, vomited a sip of water between her lips, and sat up straight. At this time, Chen Jiu discovered that the other party was holding a small object wrapped in red cloth in his arms. The river water wet the cloth and pressed it tightly, looking quite angular.
As soon as the woman opened her eyes, a blade caught her eyes, and her delicate body trembled and she exclaimed.
"Don't panic, I'm not a thief."
Chen Jiu raised his sword flat, asked:
"Where did this ship come from?"
"Buy from the upstream ferry," the woman was still in shock, "used to... cross the river."
"Cross the river?"
Chen Jiu frowned,
"Do you know where is this?"
"Three jealous people, the evil spirits' crossing..."
"I know there is something strange, but I still have to look far and cross the river from the demon?"
Chen Jiu smiles but doesn't smile.
"Girl, I see, aren't you a monster?"
The knife edge is stern, and the coldness is shining.
"I'm not, I'm not!" The woman's voice trembled, "Xiaolang, please listen to the little girl's explanation."
"You talk."
"The little girl's surname is Cui, and her name is Yu. She is from Cuijiazhuang, Jingji. The Cuijia was originally a boat owner of the Wei River. Her ancestors salvaged a half-foot-long dragon king wood carving in the river. From then on, she predicted the wind and rain, and made great profits. During the Shenlong period of the Cuijia family, she moved to Jingji to live..."
"Stop."
Chen Jiu rubbed the handle of the knife,
"I don't want the Cui family's genealogy, I just need your origin."
"The origin of the little woman is related to this family tree."
Cui Yu has calmed down a lot at this moment.
"Last night, my father dreamed of a luxuriously dressed and unclear figure. The figure said that the ancestors of the Cui family had inherited good causes and achieved such a family business."
"If there is a reason, if the Cui family does not want the destruction of their own family, they need to have a direct child and send the wood carving to the Dragon King Temple in Chang'an within three days. The itinerary should not be deviated, otherwise they will be severely punished. The three jealous people are on this road."
"Although the Cui family has a great family, its population is small, and the only ones in the family are my own blood."
"The grandfather wanted to go there in person, but he had always read poetry and books. The little woman was worried about being jealous of her talents, so she stole the statue of the Dragon King and only brought two Lingli slaves who were voluntarily accompanying her. She bought a boat and planned to force her to cross the river..."
"You only know that the ferry is jealous, but don't you know that it is also jealous?" Chen Jiu interrupted.
Cui Yu was silent for a moment,
"Of course I know. But my grandfather is old and is the pillar of the family..."
"Continue talking, crossing the river."
"Here."
The woman nodded,
"The first half of the boat was calm. But after halfway through, a sudden storm caused two slaves to be trapped in the water."
"The little woman thought she would die, but the Dragon King in her arms suddenly became extremely heavy, and the wind and waves were difficult to overturn the boat. The little woman was choked by a mouthful of water, and then she would be Xiaolang."
The Dragon King statue?
Chen Jiu put down the knife and frowned.
I just planned to deal with Sanjijin, but I encountered such a magic weapon to calm water. Is there really such a coincidence?
"Xiaolang," Cui Yu was careful, "I don't know who you are..."
"I,"
Chen Jiu grinned and put a straw raincoat on her body.
"I'm a shipman."
