Chapter 66: Sacrifice to the God of the River

Qin Mu was puzzled. How could he be unlucky when touching the sweat towel? He would be unlucky for three years?

However, this "sweat towel" has a soft texture and is very lubricating to touch. It is naturally fragrant and is really good to use for sweating. It should be woven from different silk, which is of great value. It is difficult to see such a high-quality fabric in the big ruins.

Qin Mu stuffed the sweat towel into his arms and played with Shaobao's sword and sword sheath, and was very happy.

The upper half of the scabbard of Shaobao Sword is gold, embellished with jade and beads. The sheath mouth carved is the swallowing of the eagle and dragon. The place where the eagle and dragon open its mouth is the place where the sword is unsheathed.

The lower half of the scabbard is silver-gray, without any decoration or carving, and the tail of the scabbard is carved with fish and dragon tails, which is also golden.

bite.

Qin Mu returned the sword to the sheath, and his vitality poured into the sword sheath. Shao Bao Jian was unsheathed again. When he was unsheathed, a huge ejaculation and dragon appeared in the sword sheath, jumped to his head, and opened his mouth to spit the sword.

Qin Mu raised his hand and drew the sword from the fish's mouth, feeling relieved.

"This sword sheath is really a good thing, it can manifest the ejaculation and dragon!"

He returned the sword to the sheath, and the ichthyosaur swallowed Shao Bao's sword and disappeared into the scabbard.

Qin Mu was in a state of great excitement, and then his vitality poured into the scabbard again. The fish and dragon appeared again and spit out the Shaobao sword. He drew the sword and inserted the Shaobao sword into the fish's mouth. The fish and dragon fused with the scabbard again.

He played over and over again, and the blind man on the side couldn't help but say, "Mu'er, stop playing. Your mother-in-law brought you a few more animals and asked you to herd cattle. These cows will be taken to the Enanglong City tomorrow to sell them."

Qin Mu responded, hurried back to the village, and took six bullocks out of the village for grazing. He wondered: "My mother-in-law had sold the livestock in the village some time ago, why are there six more cows now? Where did these cows come from?"

When he walked out of the village, he saw the village chief, pharmacist, mute and others gathered together and were discussing something. The cripple sat aside and removed a black banner. He threw the banner to the curtains of Ma Ye’s carpenter shops, and the poles of the black banners were thrown to Grandma Si to chase chickens.

The next day, Qin Mu had a ox cart, and Grandma Si smiled and said, "Mu'er, come together when you enter the city this time."

Qin Mu was surprised and happy, so he quickly carried the Shaobao sword on his back, brought a pig-killing knife, bamboo stick, iron hammer and other items, and jumped into the ox cart. The blind man behind him walked slowly and sat on the ox cart with Grandma Si, one left and one right.

The car was loaded with some iron tools made by mutes, as well as several stacks of strange beast furs brought by Ma Ye, the cripple and Qin Mu to hunt, and two sheep were tied to their hooves and placed in the cargo.

There were three big yellow cows in front of the ox cart, which was very strong, and three were tied behind the cart.

The boy waved his whip, and the yellow cow blinked innocently and walked out of the village.

This was his first time entering the city. He couldn't help but feel a little excited, so excited that his body seemed to be about to fly, and he didn't notice the innocent eyes of the yellow cows and goats.

Xianglong City is very far from Laocan Village and thousands of miles away, so entering the city is a big deal. However, the Daxu is desolate and it is not easy to walk by land. You must first take the water route and then walk more than ten miles of land route to arrive at Xianglong City.

Qin Mu drove to the Yongjiang River and saw a lame man setting up a large bamboo raft by the river. He carefully drove the ox cart to the bamboo raft. The lame man untied the cables, and the bamboo raft drifted down the river, and the speed became faster and faster.

Even with this speed, it will take four or five days to arrive at the Inlaid Dragon City.

After floating for more than forty miles, the blind man tapped the water with his bamboo stick, and the bamboo raft immediately floated towards the shore.

Qin Mu was puzzled and looked up at the shore, but saw that it was the direction of Grandma's Temple. Many people from various villages had gathered on the shore, most of whom were driving ox, horse and carriage, waiting by the river.

The river is dangerous and the water flows fast. There are many water monsters and ferocious big fish in the river. Therefore, villagers in each village often choose to go to Xianglong City together on the same day, and there are many people who can take care of each other.

Bamboo rafts were parked by the river, and bamboo rafts were coming in the distance. Not long after, hundreds of bamboo rafts gathered here.

The blind man took out a few sticks of incense, lit them in the wind, and inserted them on the riverside. Other villagers stepped forward one after another and inserted a stick of incense by the riverside. The fragrance and mist by the riverside drifted towards the middle of the river with the breeze.

Suddenly, someone shouted loudly and then more people sang loudly by the river. This is a song of the river, which is a sacrifice to the river god.

"Walking with my daughter, the wind rises and the water rises;

"Ride on the water cart and the lotus cover, and drive two dragons and the dragon;

“Climbing Kunlun and looking around, my heart is flying and vast;

"The sun is about to dusk and forget to return home, but only the vast expanse of the sun is in my heart;

…”

The ancient tone turned around in the nose and throat, and many villagers sang together, with melodious and heroic voices. This scene was inexplicably moved Qin Mu.

Suddenly the water surface in front separated, and giants emerged from the bottom of the water.

From the bottom of the water are giant beasts in the water, with green backs and four huge webbeds, like fish fins. Their heads and fish heads seem to be, but they have long noses, like spears.

The heads of giant beasts in the water were raised, like a small hill. The nose was approaching the incense on the bank of the river and sucked hard. A stick of incense burned rapidly on the bank, and the smoke entered the nose of the beast.

These giant beasts closed their eyes and opened their mouths and spit out a big smoke ring, which seemed to be very enjoyable.

The villagers on the shore took the opportunity to drive the ox cart to the long green back of the giant beast. Seeing this, Qin Mu hurriedly drove to the back of a giant beast. Grandma Si took out a large piece of meat that had been prepared long ago and threw it into the water. The giant beast ate the piece of meat, made a long "supporting" sound, and then swam around, carrying the ox cart and the three people on the cart, heading downstream.

Behind them, giant beasts with green backs made long roars, and screams came one after another in the river. As the villagers chanted up and down, the giant beasts carried them upstream.

"This is a unique beast in Yongjiang, called Fujiang."

Grandma Si said: "Fujiang is the god of the river in the hearts of the villagers living along the river. She likes the fragrance of smoke and eats beef. What she likes most is to listen to songs and praise them. People living by the river can attract them by just lighting a few sticks of incense. If you offer beef, you can take us upstream. If Fujiang is hungry on the road, you must throw some beef, otherwise they will no longer do it and throw us into the water."

Qin Mu was amazed.

The giant beast in Fujiang swims very fast, and goes downstream, breaking through the waves and rushing strong winds, even much faster than the horses on the shore.

Qin Mu calculated that at the speed of the Blind River Beast, he was afraid that he would come to the Inlaid Dragon City thousands of miles away before dark!

In the surging river, the shouts of giant beasts from the river rise and fall, and the green mountains on both sides are also rise and fall. The sunlight shines on the face, and the river is rippling with golden waves and golden snakes dancing.

Qin Mu looked into the distance and suddenly felt that his body and mind were extremely broad, as if the Jinjiang Green Mountains and Blue Sky Canyon were all hidden in his heart.

This is a magical land, magical people, magical river beasts. Although for the people outside the Daxu, there are poor mountains, bad waters, shrews and unlucky people everywhere, for Qin Mu, this is his hometown!

In the evening, the sun sets west, and Qin Mu saw a small dock appear on the bank of the river. The beasts carrying the river gradually slowed down and swam towards the dock.

Grandma Si stood up and smiled and said, "The Enanglong City is coming soon. Mu'er, drive down and we will enter the city as soon as possible."

Qin Mu stopped the bamboo raft and drove ashore. Looking back, he saw that other beasts of the river were also docking. People from other villages in the Daxu also drove off their ox, carriages and carriages and walked in one direction.

The ox cart walked for two or three miles and climbed a small hill. There was a downhill road ahead. Qin Mu jumped off the ox cart and planned to pull the big yellow cow to prevent it from slipping away. Suddenly, his heart was trembling and he looked ahead blankly.

Under this hillside, a great avenue is straight ahead. There is a simple and majestic city. The four corners of the city wall have stone pillars about 30 meters thick and about 160 to 70 meters high. Each stone pillar is coiled with golden dragons, which should be carved and inlaid with gold foil, so it is shining with golden light!

The city tower of this city was also made into the shape of a dragon head, the city gate was the dragon mouth, and the eaves of the city tower were like dragon horns, both ferocious and domineering!

Inlaid Dragon City.

One of the few prosperous places in Daxu.

The resources in the Daxu are scarce, and oil, salt, sauce and vinegar are precious things that need to be purchased from the outside world. Not everyone in the outside world can go there. Only in a prosperous place like the Longcheng City, can outside merchants come to bring outside goods, and at the same time buy the rare things in the Daxu and sell them to the outside world.

"The dragon pillars here are much larger than the stone statues in our village."

Qin Mu sincerely exclaimed: "If you can snatch it, it will definitely be majestic at the entrance of our village!"

Grandma Si gave him a blank look: "If I could snatch it, my mother-in-law would have snatched it long ago. Unless you can let the old guys in the village come out, you can snatch it away! Hurry up, it's getting dark, enter the city early!"

The wheels were spinning, Qin Mu drove the ox cart into the city, looking around curiously, everything in the Inlaid Dragon City made him feel fresh.

There are crowds of people in the city, and he has never seen so many people since he was born.

And there were many girls who were dressed up in a colorful manner, standing on the buildings very enthusiastically, pushing open the window lattice to wave to him, constantly asking him to come up and play.

“The people in the city are so enthusiastic.”

Qin Mu was very excited, waved to the girls, and shouted: "When I finished selling the things, I will have fun with my sisters!"

The blind man was so amused and laughed: "Mu'er, everyone on the upstairs is full of girls who are straying. They are not really going to play with you. If you go up, you will be knocked and skinned, and even the bone marrow can be sucked out for you!"

Qin Mu was startled: "Study? Blind Grandpa, they all stood firmly and didn't look like they were. Are they all fairies like Wu Nu? Wu Nu said he wanted to play with me some shameful things, but I didn't agree."
