Half fairy

Chapter 438

As long as you are not too ignorant, you can tell at a glance that it is the Minghai sea tribe, it is a mermaid, it is an elderly male mermaid, even a little old, can smile half-face wrinkles, and the sky and water are blue and long hair shawls.

The sea people in the sea of ​​darkness basically refer to them. Those swimming fish in the sea are automatically ignored by the world. They are the boatmen in the sea of ​​darkness, who can accurately grasp the unpredictable passage routes in this strange sea area.

Xiao Hei, who took the initiative to come forward, didn't understand. Seeing this half-man, half-fish guy was very strange. He seemed to doubt whether the fish tail shaking in the water was real, so he immediately took off the big stick on his body and squatted down. It's time to poke it into the water. It's obvious that I want to lift the fish's tail to have a look.

The three brothers sweated a little, Mu Aotie quickly grabbed him, pulled him up and held him back, and gave him a look, signaling him not to mess around.

The boatman put his hands on the stern of the boat, jumped out of the water, sat down on the stern, and grabbed the edge of the trestle with one hand to fix the boat. The fish tail was still swaying softly in the water.

Xiao Hei couldn't get to the front, so he could only stick his head out from behind Mu Aotie to look at it. His mouth had a "wow" feeling, and his eyes were shining. He seemed very envious of people with tails, who could be both human and fish.

Yu Qing reached out and took off the lantern on the bridgehead pole, and handed it to the other party.

The boatman also took off the unlit lantern hanging on the bow of the boat, and was about to exchange the lantern in Yu Qing's hand when his eyes suddenly fixed on the ring in Yu Qing's hand. The slow-moving tail fin also stopped shaking.

The three brothers and sisters were not blind, and the other party's reaction made the three of them look at each other.

After the boatman came back to his senses, he stopped the gesture of exchanging lanterns. Among the sharp five fingers holding the lantern, the index finger flicked out, and the pointed nails pointed at the ring in Yu Qing's hand, and made a hoarse voice, "I don't want money, I want yours." ring."

The three brothers and sisters were stunned, they didn't expect that the legendary trick of the boatman in Minghai would be encountered by them, and they encountered it the first time they came.

Underworld boatmen ferry, follow a rule, both parties are voluntary!

Once the lit lantern is hung on the bow, it means that the ferry deal has been negotiated, and neither party can go back on their word.

Give the money first and then ferry, once the boat starts, don’t mention any more money or less, just get off the boat when you arrive at the place.

After a long time, a well-known standard price has also been formed here. Boat passengers are paid on a per-person basis, basically 3000 taels per person.

Of course, if the boatman feels that it is not worthwhile to take a person, he can increase the price, or ask for other things as the freight.If the customer thinks the price is too high or inappropriate, he can refuse it and find another boatman.Again, the transaction is based on the principle of voluntariness of both parties, and cannot be forced.

Therefore, people who often come and go here will give a piece of advice to future generations, try not to wear any conspicuous jewelry, or any valuables, and do not show them when you bring them, hide them on your body, and try not to let sharks see them. When people become greedy, they will ask for it.

Having said that, in fact, this kind of situation is not very common. The three of them really did not expect to meet when they came back.

The problem is, Yu Qing took a second look at his ring, which should not be any shining jewelry, so he asked, "Do you want to use this ring to pay for the four of us's boat fare?"

The old face of the boatman forced a smile again, the tip of his tongue stuck out and slid left and right on his lips, before he said: "Yes."

Yu Qing asked again: "Why do you want this ring?"

The boatman pointed to the ring, then pointed to the fish tail raised from the water, "Fish, I like it."

is that so?The three brothers and sisters looked at each other, which seemed to make sense.

It might be agreed to change to an ordinary ring, but this ring has another important use, Yu Qing had to refuse: "I'm sorry, I only want to pay money. I won't bargain with you for this child, it counts as four My lord, the asking price is 2000 taels, if you agree, you can trade, if you don't agree, I will change the ship."

The boatman met his eyes, and suddenly smiled, "Okay, it's the same for giving money." The unlit lantern in his hand was handed over to Yu Qing.

Yu Qing took it, hung the unlit lantern on the bridgehead pole, and handed the lit lantern to the boatman.

The boatman hung the lighted lantern on the fishing rod at the stern of the boat, then supported the bridge, stabilized the boat, and invited the guests to board.

After the three and one children got on the boat, Yu Qing also gave the 10,000 taels silver note to the boatman.

The boatman stuffed the banknotes into his swim bladder, turned around and slid into the water, holding the stern of the boat with both hands, the underwater fish tail began to sway gracefully and naturally, pushing the boat away from the trestle bridge, the water surface turned a corner, Floatingly sailed into the depths of the faint mist.

The sound of the boat breaking through the water is not loud, but it is clear and crisp in this dark and quiet water.

Yu Qing stood in front with her hands behind her back, facing the darkness and mist all the way.

Mu Aotie faced back quietly, the hanging lantern dangling in front of him.

Nanzhu stood in the middle, holding the little black tube tightly in his hands, and naturally he was not allowed to mess around here, otherwise the little guy wanted to use the "big stick" to row a boat and play in the water, so scared that the "big stick" hid in the boat head off...

The sun, the moon and the stars were not visible, and there was no coordinate to distinguish the time. I don't know how long he had traveled through the darkness and confusion. After Yu Qing estimated that it might be about two hours, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

The boat drove to a sea area full of exposed reefs. The jagged reefs had strange shapes, like monsters lurking on the water.

The most important thing is that I occasionally saw the lights of other ships in the distance along the way before, but I haven't seen them for almost half an hour now. The front has been dark and dark, and there are no sporadic lights.

Feeling that something was wrong, Yu Qing thought of the abnormal experience when boarding the boat, and instantly became vigilant, and immediately looked back to see how the other party responded, "Boatman, are you going in the wrong direction?"

Hearing this, Mu Aotie immediately stared at the stern of the boat, just in time to see the two hands of the boatman lying on the stern retracted in response.

Mu Aotie also felt that something was wrong, holding the hilt of his sword, he quickly stepped on the stern of the boat and looked down, only to see the rippling water, the boatman had disappeared into the water.

Swish!He drew his sword out of its sheath.

Seeing this, Yu Qing and Nan Zhu immediately knew something was wrong, and they drew their swords one after another.

Seeing that he was about to fight, even though his neck was in Nan Zhu's hands, Xiao Hei regained his strength and shouted, "Big stick!"

The big stick immediately crawled back along the ship's side, jumped up and shrunk into a big stick, and landed in Xiao Hei's hand.

At this time, Mu Aotie also hurriedly turned around to inform the situation, "The boatman escaped from the water."

Nan Zhu raised his sword and looked around, wondering, "What's the situation? As soon as you come to Minghai, you will meet a shark boatman and make trouble? Is the risk of going to and from Haishi so great now? Qianliu Mountain doesn't care about it?"

"I'm afraid it's not the fault of Qianliu Mountain." Looking around coldly, Yu Qing raised his hand and showed the ring on his hand, "I'm afraid it has something to do with it."

"Ring?" Nan Zhu became more and more suspicious, "For a ring, this boatman dares to break the rules of the 'Ming Temple', and break the order of Qianliu Mountain?"

Yu Qing: "This is not an ordinary ring. Could it be that the boatman knows that this is not an ordinary ring?"

Nan and Mu looked at each other. What the old fifteen said, the abnormal situation after the boatman appeared seemed to be an explanation.

Mu Aotie hesitated, "How could this mermaid boatman know about this ring?"

Yu Qing: "Don't forget, the Hai people here should have existed before Hai City was breached by outside monks."

Nan and Mu immediately understood what he meant. Before the outside monks occupied this place, the Hai clan might have had contact with the Immortal Mansion of the Underworld. It is not impossible to know about the ring.

Nan Zhu stretched out his head and glanced at the noodle on Yu Qing's finger again, "According to this, it is really rare to use fish as noodle, but it is actually very rare to use fish to make noodle. Fish and water are related. Will it happen to be related to this sea?"

Yu Qing paid close attention to the underwater movement and did not dare to relax, "Just because of these mermaids, even underwater, they are not our opponents. They dare not confront us head-on. To get us here, either If you want to trap us to death, or there are conveniences here that can deal with us, in short, it is a place that is not conducive to us, and it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, no matter what the direction is, first row the boat away from this water."

Mu Aotie immediately leaned over to cast a spell, knocked over one of the seat boards at the stern with one palm, opened two in a row, and threw one to Nanzhu. Doing so, the boat quickly sailed out of the reef waters.

The two quickly carried out Yu Qing's words without hesitation, and it was also because they had summed up a little experience from repeated adventures. Once encountering danger, the old fifteen's reaction to the danger was still very clever, at least much better than them, and repeatedly led With them narrowly escaped.

Almost at the same time, the clang of the big head's "Di Di Di" sounded in Yu Qing's ponytail.

Nan and Mu were a little startled, but they immediately understood that there was indeed a hidden murderous intention here, and they immediately accelerated their rowing speed.

Snapped!Xiao Hei suddenly knocked down the baffle in the middle of the boat with a stick, then threw down the big stick, sat in the middle of the boat, followed suit, and also picked up the plank and rowed vigorously there.

The three adults were taken aback by him, and they were all relieved to see this, and even a little glad that the little bastard didn't smash the side of the ship, if he smashed the side of the ship indiscriminately like he smashed the counter in Youjiaobu, it broke the side of the ship and caused It's a lot of fun when the water sinks the boat.

Minghai is said to be a place where people without navigation will never go out. If there is no boat to rest, no matter how high your cultivation is, you will not be able to stand on the sea forever.

On the bottom of the sea, in the reef caves, the boatman Merman hid among them and watched as a little light on the sea surface quickly left this sea area.

After it swam out of the cave, it wanted to swim close to the bottom of the boat several times, trying to sink the boat, but in the end it didn't dare to approach. It knew how terrifying the lethality of those monks was. It was discovered that at that moment, he might not be able to escape the kill.

Later, it gave up the boat for the time being, and quickly sneaked on the bottom of the sea. After a while, it surfaced and climbed onto a small island. After a group of "mirage ants" crawled out of the ant nest, they felt more and more strange, this thing is still there, why is it useless to those people?
It looked back at the light in the distance, then climbed into the sea again, and quickly chased after it.
