The sacrificial ceremony reached its climax when the first roasted chicken was thrown into the water. I don't know when, layers of clouds began to appear on the river, locking the river, but the chicken was not there at all.
When it landed on the water, there was a sound of "crash", and then disappeared, but there were violent ripples on the water.
Immediately afterwards, the roasted pigs, cows, and sheep were thrown down one by one. The waves on the water were surging, and the onlookers nearby heard bursts of exclamations. The mist was lingering, and they could only
Huge black shadows could be seen winding in the water, the river was surging wildly, and the roasted cattle and sheep seemed to be thrown into a bottomless pit. Huge waves surged over them before they even hit the water, and then disappeared.
This sacrifice lasted for nearly an hour, and the final climax occurred when Li Hu stood on the Songfeng Platform to ask the River God for good weather. The most shocking thing happened when five giant snakes raised their heads and stuck out of the water at the same time.
, nodded at the same time, and then stirred up huge waves and mist and disappeared. Such exciting things made the people around them shout crazily. People's hearts were greatly relieved at this time. The tension and mist last night
The pain has been replaced.
There is no doubt that the sacrifice was successful, the people were fooled, and Li Hu's allies also saw part of his potential strength. There is no doubt that if Li Hu invites these giant snakes to help in a battle on the water,
It can be said that it is easy to sink and capsize a ship, which is already an invisible deterrent.
However, Lin Fengjin's face was so ugly that he could squeeze out water. Why? Because he just got the list that the housekeeper of Li Mansion brought over with a smile.
Well, specifically, it's a list of the animals consumed in this sacrifice.
eleven cows,
twenty sheep,
Fifty-five pigs,
There are 317 chickens, ducks and geese in total.
After seeing this data, Lin Fengjin couldn't help but his eyes darkened. He suddenly remembered that guy's shameless face when he made a deal with the old bitch Ao Ye! That smug smile that seemed to be impossible to hide.
"My **** mother! Are you, the Ao clan, snakes or pigs? They are so edible! People say that dragons are good at yin. Could it be that you, old Aoye, only liked sows when you were young, so your descendants are all
So edible??”
Lin Fengjin calculated it sadly and angrily, and this consumption was only one meal! I thought that the wild boar's appetite was already amazing before, but now it seems that compared with them, this guy is as delicate as
She is a little girl who is on a diet to lose weight.
In the end, Lin Fengjin sadly realized that if he wanted to support these foodies, he would have to contribute one-tenth of the profit from his trip! What made people feel even more helpless was that there was no way to break the contract.
, Lin Fengjin can play rogue to others, but he really doesn't have much confidence in playing rogue to the mature guy Ao Ye.
"No, we must squeeze all the remaining value out of these bastards!" Lin Fengjin said through gritted teeth.
At this time, several Ao family monster pythons, which had almost exhausted their support and could only swim against the current to eat, suddenly shuddered. They were discussing with great interest which kind of food was the best. The current disagreement was over the roasted food.
On the pig and roasted chicken, Han Qi immediately beat them into a panic, and couldn't help but say:
"Did we eat too much today?"
"Yes, I think Mr. Lin's face looks very ugly."
"Honestly, I've never been so full."
"Of course, I've never tasted anything so delicious."
"They also threw several jars of wine down. I bit into one jar and drank it. It felt so good. Python 5 grabbed the most wine!"
"Hey, hey, hey, you were all fighting for the roast chicken that was thrown down, okay?"
"The roasted chicken is delicious! The pheasant I used to eat always had a smell of filth and death, but this time it's fragrant and delicious."
“Isn’t the roasted pig more delicious?”
"roast chicken!"
"Roast pig."
""
After the sacrificial ceremony was completed, Lin Fengjin called Lao Bao, who would be in charge of the fleet in the future. He was the only one of the loyal Lin family stewards who had experience in water transportation. He didn't have much talent, but the Lin family didn't need it now.
It is enough to have people with pioneering spirit and talents, and people who can do things step by step and faithfully.
Lin Fengjin took Lao Bao to the riverside, and then told him not to make a fuss no matter what he saw. Finally, he whistled. Then, although Lao Bao was fully mentally prepared, his face suddenly turned pale.
He took a few steps back and sat down on the beach.
The waves in the river were turbulent, and five huge snake heads popped out of the water with a "swish" and looked curiously. Lin Fengjin smiled, waited for Lao Bao to calm down, and then gave him a few drinks.
After drinking, he said:
"Let me introduce to you our future partners."
Old Bao was so frightened that he said:
"Partner?"
Lin Fengjin smiled and said:
"That's right, we will take the route from Zhangjun Shangmao to the north in the future. It is a sea route with strong winds and waves, and there are pirates and thieves. If you are not careful, you will lose everything and find some partners.
How about escorting me to safety?"
Lao Bao stammered:
"Are these Grandpa Jiaolong our partners?"
Lin Fengjin said:
"Yes, you will deal with them directly from now on. These guys are actually very easy to talk to. As long as we deliver sacrifices to them on time, we can ensure the safety of our ships and avoid wind and rain."
Next, in order to eliminate Lao Bao's fear, Lin Fengjin took him to have close contact with these monster pythons of the Ao family. He first looked at them, then touched them, and finally he even sat on the snake's back and swam for a while.
Originating from the unknown, when Lao Bao confirmed that these "Grandpa Jiaolong" were well fed and loved grilled and peeled barbecued pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks, and had no love for human flesh, his courage gradually grew, and his heart became stronger.
It was a surge of ecstasy.
"Yes, why should you be afraid? Grandpa Jiaolong is on our side! From now on, those who are afraid should be those bastards who want to take advantage of our ships."
So Lao Bao quickly got into the role, but he has a gentle personality and is used to serving others. Lin Fengjin originally said that he would just bring him to meet him, and then let him slowly eliminate his fear. Who knows not long after,
Lao Bao smiled and took the initiative to communicate with these five-headed snake monsters. Lao Bao was from Yangzhou. Yangzhou was most famous for its pedicure skills. He had done a little bit of it, so he took the initiative to trim their scales and scrape off some of the water on their bodies.
Rust, parasitic moss and the like.
These children of the Ao family were served comfortably. They all had enough to eat and drink. They exposed their huge bodies and climbed to the river bank with their white bellies turned over to bask in the sun. They looked like dead snakes.
Lao Bao served these snake uncles with a smile and chatted with them. He should be able to get acquainted with them soon. Lin Fengjin said he wanted to leave, but Lao Bao refused to leave, saying that he would not stay any longer if the opportunity was rare.
After a while, the young master will leave first.
In fact, the fact that Lao Bao adapted so quickly has a lot to do with the fact that the generals in the army like to use monsters as mounts. Especially if Li Jian, the king of the country before, was proud of owning monster mounts, it would further change the social atmosphere.
This has inspired ordinary people to not just be afraid of monsters.
Seeing Lao Bao being so actively involved in his new career, Lin Fengjin couldn't dampen the enthusiasm of others. In the end, in desperation, Lin Fengjin took out a bone whistle and handed it to Lao Bao.
The thing was produced by the Ao family. It was made from the tail bone of a snake, which was equivalent to some kind of connecting tool.
The Ao family is known as the River God in the local area. Once the villagers have the thought and intention of offering sacrifices, they will blow the bone whistle, and the descendants of the Ao family can hear it. As for the communication between Lao Bao and these monster pythons, there is no such thing.
By the way, Python Five can speak directly, and the other two demon pythons can also open connection channels to communicate mentally, although this will consume energy.
After returning to the military camp, Lin Fengjin had just taken a rest when someone came to visit him. He opened the camp tent and saw Li Hu with more than ten guards outside, but there was no one else.
Lin Fengjin hurriedly let the person in and said:
"Why are you here? If you have anything to do, wouldn't it be nice to ask someone to call you?"
Li Hu ordered his iron guards to retreat ten feet away. Anyone who approached the military tent would be killed without mercy. After the outside was cleared, he relaxed and whispered:
"I can call people for other things, but I have to come in person for this matter."
Lin Fengjin wondered:
"What needs to be so solemn?"
Li Hu lowered his voice and said to Lin Fengjin:
"I just received reliable news that Zhang Jinghong is in Zhangjun!"
"Zhang Jinghong?" Lin Fengjin had somewhat forgotten these names. They seemed to be very familiar, but for a while he couldn't place them in his mind.
Li Hu then whispered:
"Master, do you still remember the dragon crystal at the sale?" (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
