On the Dharma boat, Fox Face twisted the cotton soaked in Yang Yuanwai's blood into a wick, and then put it into the compass and lit it. The smoke burned by this lamp was like a thin snake, and the thin snake spit out a letter, which slowly wrapped around the compass.
pointer on.
The compass pointer was pulled in a different direction, and it pointed to the place where the big fish was hiding, which was in the southwest direction.
"So magical?" Chen Qingshan looked at the compass in the fox-faced hand.
"It's just some little sorcerer's magic." The fox-like face raised his head, as if he was proud of being able to save some face in front of Chen Qingshan.
Fa Zhou turned around and rushed there quickly.
The wind on Yunmengze was very strong, but due to the protection of the magic boat, Chen Qingshan was not directly blown by the wind. However, Chen Qingshan saw that the runes on the shield were flashing much faster than when he first entered Yunmengze.
.
More than two hours later, the Dharma Boat stopped in a body of water. Since it had not reached the depths of Yunmengze, it should not encounter much danger. This was a good thing for Chen Qingshan and others.
Occasionally, you can see some small boats passing by on the water. They are fishermen who come to Yunmeng Ze to make a living.
Chen Qingshan even saw a few larger boats that settled here. To be honest, Chen Qingshan didn't know if they should be called boats or if they had other names.
This is using large wooden boards to connect as few as five or six small boats to as many as ten small boats, forming a small floating island on the water where people can live and even reproduce. The wooden boards have the connection
It is also a road for travel.
There were sheds and other things built with wood on those small boats. Smoke was rising from the sheds. There were also children playing on the boats. An old man with bare feet was leaning against the house and basking in the sun, with a peaceful look on his face.
"I recognize this nation. Their name is Shuisheng. They will spend their entire lives on this strange boat. They will live here and die here. When they are alive, they will eat fish in the lake. When they die, they will return their bodies to this people.
The water that raised him." Tongque came to Chen Qingshan's side and said.
"Are they born aquatic? They raise their lives with water and spend their whole lives on the water. Compared to the fishermen who live on land, they are more like fishermen. In other words, they are born fishermen." Chen Qingshan looked down.
, the Dharma boat began to slowly fall, creating a circle of ripples on the water.
Bronze Bird shook his head, the protection of the Dharma Boat disappeared, and the wind blew in, blowing away Bronze Bird's black hair.
"They are not fishermen, they should be a part of this lake. They are born to exist. They are the same creatures as the fish and birds on the lake. As for the strange-shaped boat, you can think of them as being here.
The shelter on Mengze is actually the same thing as the bird's nest and fish nest." Tongque said.
Chen Qingshan understood, came to the fence, looked down, and said: "In this case, maybe we can call them people on the river."
Tongque nodded in agreement, and said that when the human race was first born, there was no distinction between people, and there was no distinction between classes. So at that time, there were more people on the marsh, people on the ground, and even people in the trees and caves.
people inside.
Chen Qingshan replied that this was a very interesting truth, but Tongque stopped talking and took out a few fishing rods from the storage ring and distributed them to several people.
Chen Qingshan took the fishing rod and asked curiously: "What does this mean? Fishing?"
Chen Qingshan thought that since everyone was a monk, it would be faster to go into the water to search for him.
"Yunmengze has existed since ancient times. I don't know what is in the water. With our cultivation, it is best not to enter the water. How ordinary people in this lake fish, we just learn from them." Tongque said.
Chen Qingshan felt that what Tongque said made sense, but ordinary bait should not be able to catch the fish everyone is looking for.
Fox Face naturally understood, so he took the fishhooks from several people and made a new bloodline fishhook using the blood of Yang Yuanwai and the sorcerer's spirit-consolidating method.
This fishhook has some of Yang Yuanwai's energy and blood. When everyone is fishing, they send their own spiritual power to the fishhook through the fishing rod, stimulating their internal blood and causing it to overflow with a little breath, thereby attracting Yang Yuanwai and Yun.
The fish of luck transformed by the mother's son.
Everyone expressed that they understood, and then they each found a place on the Dharma boat, and then started fishing.
Chen Qingshan transferred his spiritual power into it. The bloodline fishhook absorbed Chen Qingshan's spiritual power and began to exude a trace of Yang Yuanwai's aura. The aura was very weak, but it slowly spread in the water.
At this time, there was a small boat on the water, and the old man on the boat slowly entered the water. The old man had a fishing rod in his hand and was also fishing.
Chen Qingshan looked over out of curiosity.
This old man reminded Chen Qingshan of the fishing old man on the Hancheng culvert embankment. However, unlike the fishing old man who was a warrior in the Sixth Realm, this old man was just an ordinary person. Looking at his tattered boat, this old man looked like
He doesn't look like a rich man either.
Everyone did not interfere with each other and continued fishing until the evening. Chen Qingshan felt a little tired and was ready to take a rest.
"Huh? What's going on?" Chen Qingshan suddenly heard the sound of singing lyrics coming from a distance.
The lyrics of this opera are somewhat different from those sung by Yun Niang in Xiaoyu Town. The lyrics in this song are a bit tacky and even a bit explicit. It would not be an exaggeration to call it obscene.
The sound became louder and louder, and a tall building boat slowly entered the waters. The hull was a hundred feet in size, and it carried pavilions and carved beams and painted buildings. It was very majestic. In terms of appearance, this building boat was better than the fox-faced one.
The boat is infinitely better.
"Fox face, their boat is much prettier than yours." Chen Qingshan looked at the boat and joked.
The fox-faced man snorted coldly and responded: "What's the point of looking good? Can their ship fly?"
Although the building boat is majestic, it is still an ordinary thing and cannot compare to the fox-faced boat.
What makes Chen Qingshan even more curious is the people on the boat. On the pavilion, you can see many women, dressed in cool clothes, playing with strings and bamboo strings. They are singing the tacky tunes, and there are also women dancing along with the tunes.
, but those women disappeared while dancing and wearing clothes.
Chen Qingshan felt that he must have been dazzled. After all, no one in the world could lose their clothes when dancing.
There are also some people with swords on the boat, who must be guards, and there is also a young man in rich clothes drinking, who must be the owner of the boat.
"What a magnificent building." Tian Jingsha appeared next to Chen Qingshan at some point and praised it. I wonder if he was envious of the young master.
But Chen Qingshan felt that Jingsha's eyes were not on the boat at all that day, but he was just staring straight at the people dancing on the boat.
Chen Qingshan sighed, "The drunkard doesn't care about drinking."
And Tian Jingsha replied: "It's windy here, I don't know if these ladies are cold or not."
The young master on the boat also saw Tian Jingsha on top of the Dharma boat. Seeing Tian Jingsha looking straight at him, he was a little angry, but he recognized that what was under Tian Jingsha's feet was a streamer-level Dharma boat.
He didn't dare to act rashly, he just asked the guard next to him to lower the curtain on the attic.
Tian Jingsha was a little angry: "Who do you think I am? Why can he see it but I can't?"
He looked like he was going to go up and have a theory.
Chen Qingshan, who was standing nearby, smiled: "Did you see it clearly?"
Tianjingsha replied: "I see clearly."
"That's not a loss." Chen Qingshan said.
"Huh?" Tian Jingsha was speechless for a moment.
The young man on that boat couldn't offend Chen Qingshan and others, but he could offend other people in this water area.
The moment the building boat appeared, there were guards sitting in small boats to clear the area. The first people to suffer were the people of the aquatic tribe, who were driven out of the water area until they were no longer seen.
According to the guards, you are uncivilized guys. Get out of here and don't get in the eyes of my young master.
Only the old man in the lone boat was a little stubborn and received a beating until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. In the end, Chen Qingshan and Tian Jingsha couldn't stand it and saved him.
When the old man was pulled onto the Dharma boat, he was already half dead, with a lot of air coming out and little air coming in.
Keep wailing.
The fox-like face couldn't stand it, so he got a bottle of plaster and threw it to Chen Qingshan. Chen Qingshan took the plaster and wiped it for the old man.
The old man's voice changed from wailing to the sound of killing pigs in the town.
It should be painful. Chen Qingshan thinks that the fox-face plaster is really useful. After all, good medicine tastes bitter. The same is true for plasters. The more painful it is, the more useful it is.
In order to relieve the old man's pain, Tian Jingsha who was standing next to him ran over and started chatting with the old man: "Uncle, I thought you would run away."
The old man trembled and replied: "I also thought they would respect the old and love the young, at least they would not do anything."
"It turns out, uncle, you are thinking too much." Tianjingsha said bluntly.
The old man almost couldn't breathe.
After applying the plaster, the old man's condition improved a lot. Fox Face got some food and the old man also ate some.
At night, the sounds on the building and boat became more and more wild.
The old man and Tian Jingsha sat on the Dharma boat together, looking at the brightly lit boat.
The two looked at each other, and the old man asked Tian Jingsha what he was thinking. Tian Jingsha also asked the old man the same question.
Tian Jingsha said that he was thinking about the girls on the boat who had been tired all night, and wondered whether they were tired.
The old man said that the people on this boat did not know how to respect the elderly and care for the young, and even drove away the aquatic tribe living in this water area. They must receive retribution.
"Of course it's the Water God of Yunmengze," the old man said.
"How can there be any water god in Yunmengze? If Yunmengze really had a so-called water god, there wouldn't be so many dangers in the lake." Tian Jingsha replied.
The old man sighed and said, "Maybe it's because I'm old. After all, when people get old, they believe in the theories of ghosts and gods."
The old man's voice was a little bleak, just like the south wind blowing from Yunmengze.
