Fantasy Westward Journey: Rebirth as a Dragon

Chapter 8

A body dressed in sackcloth, with swollen muscles and extremely pale skin, was slowly floating in front of Luo Xing.

"Who is it... Could it be that there are fish monsters attacking human fishing boats around here?" Luo Chen's face was a little cold, but when he checked the corpse, he was surprised to find that this person was not injured to death, he was drowned!
"A fisherman, why was he drowned? Could it be... There was a sea storm near here recently? Could this man be swept to the bottom of the sea and drown?"

Luo Chen murmured to himself with some doubts. After looking at the calm sea near the sea, he sighed helplessly.

"Since it is a natural death, there is nothing I can do! As a human being, I will help you and save you from being swallowed!"

Having said that, Luo Chen also dragged the corpse into the bottom of the sea, then quickly dug out a sea pit, and buried the person deeply in it.

After burying the man, Luo Chen also took off the sackcloth on his body and put the coarse linen on his body. Only then did Luo Chen feel at ease: finally he didn't have to run naked.

"Huh? You little guy didn't leave..." When Luo Chen turned his head and saw a certain piece of twisted sea water, he sighed in surprise.

The sea caterpillar gradually emerged, and this guy actually chased Luo Chen all the way to the edge of the coast.

"Hmph, how can you go back on your word if you agreed to work together in the future? Here, this is the scroll that the old tortoise left for you. You lost it and I retrieved it for you. Thank you quickly! "

The mutated sea caterpillar really accepted Luo Chen, it climbed directly onto Luo Chen's body, coiled it lazily on his arm, and opened its mouth triumphantly.

Luo Chen took the scroll, and when he saw the word "Shui Dun" on the surface of the scroll, his gloomy mood after seeing the drowned person completely cleared up.

"Oh, thank you! If I hadn't brought this scroll back, it might have taken me a lot of time to learn how to escape water!"

Luo Chen stuffed the scroll into his arms, and then floated to the surface of the water again, no matter what, he must find a way to get to the city first.

He stuck his head out of the sea, and after confirming the direction of the shore, he hesitated a little. Should he swim over or swim over?

There is at least two or three miles away from the shore. If I swim directly there, will it scare people if I am seen by ordinary people?
Just when Luo Chen was distressed, the sea caterpillar on his arm screamed softly. Luo Chen was reminded by it and turned his head, and saw a large boat right behind him.

The big boat was slowly sailing towards the shore, obviously it was a return boat, Luo Chen's eyes lit up: Hey, it's really the rhythm of someone giving you a pillow when you doze off?
"Hey...the boatman over there, please help me! My fishing boat has capsized...please give me a ride!"

……

The official ship in the distance is full of people at the moment, including busy boatmen, workers who carry goods, and Taoist priests who worship gods and play ghosts.

Their trip was based on the order of the magistrate of Jianye City, to salvage the bodies of drowned people from the sea, and to do so in order to calm down the sea storms that have been rolling up in the East Bay recently.

Jianye City is a small city, and the entire city relies on fishing for its livelihood. Recently, there have been repeated sea storms and fishermen drowning one after another. This has caused panic in the entire city, and the income from fishing has dropped to new lows one after another.

According to the Taoists who practiced it, it was caused by ghosts who died unjustly near the sea, so they could only offer sacrifices to gods and perform salvation in order to suppress sea ghosts.

The salvage task was basically completed. At this moment, the boat was carrying about ten corpses, and the laborers were busy back and forth.

A lively girl in a tight-fitting silk Tang suit with a prominent body, luxurious jewelry on her wrists and forehead, long flaxen hair and a big soaring ponytail behind her head, is lying on the railing .

She has an extraordinary bearing and bright eyes. Her name is Fei Yannv, and she is the daughter of the county magistrate of Jianye City. This time she went out to sea with the official ship, purely for fun.

Everyone on the boat was busy, and Fei Yannv stood on the deck looking around boredly, seeing the endless blue sea and sky in her eyes, just when Feiyannv was feeling a little tired, she suddenly saw floating on the sea in the distance. With a small black spot.

Indistinctly, a call for rescue came intermittently with the wind: "Boatman...please help me...please give me a ride!"

"Huh? Someone fell into the water?" Fei Yannv looked far away, and after confirming that there was indeed a person floating on the distant sea, she instantly regained her vitality.

She rushed towards the captain of the official ship in a hurry, and called out anxiously: "Uncle Captain, someone fell into the water! Let's turn around and save him, shall we?"

The captain of the official ship was a strong man in the uniform of a government official. Following Fei Yannv's pointing, he saw Luo Xing floating on the water, and his brows furrowed.

"It's a bit far away... If we turn around in his direction, we probably won't be able to get back to the coast on time. If this delays the ceremony, it will be troublesome... And a person suddenly appeared on the sea... It's still a face... "

The captain hesitated a little. Although he was the captain, he did not have the absolute right to decide the direction of the ship. Just as he was hesitating, a man in priestly robes, with a white dust whisk in his hand, and a goatee walked up beside him. A thin, middle-aged man with a fairy-like appearance.

"Daoist..." The captain's eyes lighted up slightly, he raised his hand to signal the anxious Fei Yannv to be quiet, and then respectfully told the matter to the Daoist who was doing things.

After hearing the whole story and seeing Luo Chen struggling on the sea, the priest expressed his opinion indifferently: "The mission of our trip is to salvage the dead and bring the drowned back to their hometown. If we deliberately rescue A living person will inevitably affect the effect of the ritual!"

"Throw a rope down, if he can catch up with the rope, it's his luck! If not, there's nothing we can do..."

The name of this Taoist priest is Niu Bold, he is a magic stick, but this man has made a name for himself as a magic stick. In Jianye City, this guy has the title of "half immortal". , is proposed and responsible by him.

His so-called statement that "carrying the dead back to the hometown and rescuing the living will affect the effect of the ritual" is actually just a rhetoric that he was tired of and didn't want to make extra troubles, but none of the feudal and superstitious crew members dare be opposed to……

The captain of the yamen servant respectfully obeyed the command of the magic stick, and threw a rope fiercely into the water, in the direction where Luo Chen was.

Feiyannv stood watching from the sidelines, with helplessness and anger in her beautiful big eyes, she is a martial artist with a bold personality, and she has always believed in chivalry and righteousness. She is totally the opposite.

But for the sake of the stability of Jianye City, and to really quell the chaos of ghosts, even as the daughter of the county magistrate, she can't say much, after all, she doesn't know how to catch ghosts, but ghosts may still exist...
