Qin Mu wondered in his heart, how could it be unlucky to touch the scarf and be unlucky for three years?
However, this "sweat towel" is soft, smooth to touch, and naturally fragrant. It's really good to wipe sweat. It should be made of heterogeneous silk, which is valuable. It's hard to see such a high-quality cloth in the market.
Qin Mu stuffed his sweat towel into his arms and played with Shaobao sword and scabbard. His heart was very happy.
The upper half of the scabbard of Shaobao sword is golden, decorated with jade and beads. The mouth of the scabbard is carved with the swallow of the fish dragon. The place where the fish dragon opens its mouth is the place where the sword comes out of the scabbard.
The lower half of the scabbard is silver gray without any decoration and carving. The tail of the scabbard is carved fish and dragon tail, which is also gold.
Ding.
Qin Mu returned the sword to its sheath. His vitality flowed into the sheath, and Shaobao sword came out of the sheath again. When it came out of the sheath, he saw a huge Ichthyosaurus emerging from the sheath, jumping over his head, opening his mouth and spitting out the sword.
Qin Mu raised his hand and drew his sword from the fish's mouth, feeling comfortable in his heart.
"This scabbard is really a good thing. It can manifest ichthyosaurs!"
He returned the sword to its sheath, and the Ichthyosaurus swallowed the Shaobao sword and disappeared in the sheath.
Qin Mu was in full bloom, and then his vitality flowed into the scabbard again. The ichthyosaur reappeared and spit out the Shaobao sword. He pulled out the sword and inserted the Shaobao sword into the fish's mouth. The ichthyosaur fused with the scabbard again.
He played again and again, and the blind man beside him couldn't help but say, "don't play, mu'er. Your mother-in-law has got some more animals for you to herd. These cows will be taken to Xianglong city to sell tomorrow."
Qin Mu answered and hurried back to the village, taking six Qianniu cattle out of the village for grazing. He wondered, "my mother-in-law has sold the animals in the village some time ago. How can there be six more cows now? Where do these cows come from?"
When he walked out of the village, he saw the village head, pharmacist, mute and others huddled together, discussing something. The lame man sat aside and removed a black flag. The flag was thrown to the master Ma to make the door curtain of the carpenter's shop, and the pole of the black flag was thrown to Mrs. Si to drive the chicken.
The next day, Qin Mu set up the bullock cart, and Mrs. Si said with a smile, "mu'er, you'll come with me this time."
Qin Mu was surprised and happy. He hurriedly carried a Shaobao sword on his back, took pig knives, bamboo sticks, hammers and other things, and jumped into the bullock cart. The blind man walked slowly behind him and sat on the bullock cart with Mrs. Si left and right.
The car was loaded with some dumb ironware, as well as several stacks of exotic animal fur from the hunting of the horse Lord, the lame and Qin Mu, and two sheep were tied with hooves and put in the goods.
There are three big yellow cattle in front of the cart, which are very powerful, and three are tied behind the cart.
The boy waved a whip, and the big yellow cattle blinked innocently and walked outside the village.
This was his first time in the city. He was so excited that his body seemed to fly up, and he didn't notice the innocent eyes of the cattle and goats.
Xianglong city is far away from the old disabled village, thousands of miles away, so entering the city is a major event. However, the ruins are desolate, and it is not easy to walk by land. You must take the waterway first, and then walk more than ten miles by land to Xianglong city.
Qin Mu drove to the Yongjiang river. He saw the lame tied a big bamboo raft beside the river. He carefully drove the bullock cart to the bamboo raft. The lame untied the rope, and the bamboo raft drifted down the river, faster and faster.
Even at this speed, it will take four to five days to arrive at Xianglong city.
After floating for more than 40 miles, the blind man lit the water with a bamboo stick, and the bamboo raft immediately drifted to the shore.
Qin Mu was puzzled. He looked up at the bank, but saw that it was the direction of grandma temple. People from many villages had gathered on the bank, and most of them were waiting by the river with bullock carts and carriages.
The river is dangerous, the water is fast, and there are many water monsters and ferocious fish in the river. Therefore, the villagers of various villages often choose to go to Xianglong city on the same day, and many people take care of each other conveniently.
Bamboo rafts stopped by the river, and bamboo rafts came in the distance. Soon, there were a hundred and ten bamboo rafts gathered here.
The blind man took out a few sticks of incense, lit them in the wind, and inserted them in the river. Other villagers came forward one after another, and inserted a stick of incense in the river. The incense mist around the river floated to the center of the river with the breeze.
Suddenly, someone shouted loudly and loudly, and then more people sang loudly along the river. This is a river song, which is a sacrifice to the river god.
"Swim along the nine rivers with women, and the wind blows and the water waves;
"Take a water tanker and drive two dragons;
"I look around when I climb the Kunlun Mountains, and my heart is flying and vast;
"I forget to go home at dusk, but I cherish it very much;
……”
The ancient tone of voice turned in the nose and throat, and many villagers sang together. The voice was melodious and heroic. This scene had an inexplicable feeling for Qin Mu.
Suddenly, the water in front separated, and behemoths emerged from the bottom of the water.
What appeared from the bottom was a giant beast in the water, with a blue back and four huge fins, like fins. Their heads were like fish heads, but they had long noses, like spears.
A giant beast in the water raised its head, like a small hill. Its nose came to the incense on the Bank of the river and sucked hard. A incense on the bank burned rapidly, and the smoke entered the nasal cavity of the giant beast.
These monsters closed their eyes, and after a moment, they opened their mouths and spit out a big smoke circle, which seemed to be very enjoyable.
The villagers on the bank took the opportunity to drive the ox cart onto the beast's long green back. Seeing this, Qin Mu hurriedly drove to the back of a giant beast. Mrs. Si took out a large piece of meat that had been prepared for a long time and threw it into the water. The giant beast ate the meat, gave a long cry of "Lu", and then swam with four fins, carrying the ox cart and the three people on the cart to the downstream.
Behind them, a huge green backed beast issued a long cry, and the river roared one after another. With the villagers singing high and low, the beasts carried them upstream.
"This is a unique beast in the Yong river, called the negative river."
Mother-in-law Si said, "negative river is the God of the river in the hearts of the villagers living along the river. He likes fragrant smoke and beef. His favorite thing is to listen to songs and praise their songs. People living by the river can attract them by lighting a few sticks of incense and offering beef, so that negative River can take us downstream. If negative river is hungry on the road, he must throw some more beef, otherwise they won't dry and throw us into the water."
Qin Mu was amazed.
The giant beast of the negative river swims very fast. Coupled with the downstream, it breaks the waves all the way, and the strong wind blows on its face. It is even much faster than the galloping horse on the bank.
Qin Mu calculated that with the speed of the negative River beast, he could come to Xianglong city thousands of miles away before dark!
In the Yongjiang River, the cries of the giant beasts of the negative River fluctuate, and the green mountains on both sides also fluctuate. The sun shines from the head-on, the golden waves on the river are sparkling, and the golden snakes are dancing.
Looking into the distance, Qin Mu suddenly felt extremely broad physically and mentally, as if the golden river, green mountains, blue sky and valleys were all hidden in his chest.
This is a magical land, magical people, magical river beasts. Although for people outside the ruins, there are poor mountains and rivers, villains and villains everywhere, for Qin Mu, this is his hometown!
In the evening, when the sun set in the west, Qin Mu saw a small dock on the Bank of the river, and a negative River beast gradually slowed down and swam to the dock.
Mrs. Si got up and said with a smile, "Xianglong city is coming, mu'er, drive down, and we will enter the city as soon as possible."
Qin Mu stopped the bamboo raft and drove to the shore. Looking back, he saw that other animals in the negative River also landed one after another. People in other villages in the ruins also got off their bullock carts and carriages and walked in one direction.
The ox cart traveled twoorthree miles and climbed a small hillside. The downhill road was in front of it. Qin Mu jumped out of the ox cart to hold the big yellow cattle steady so as not to slip away. Suddenly, his heart was slightly shaken and he stared blankly at the front.
At the foot of this hillside, a road is paved directly in front of it. There is an ancient and majestic city. There are stone pillars as thick as more than 30 feet and about 1670 feet high at the four corners of the city wall. Each stone pillar is surrounded by a golden dragon, which should be carved and inlaid with gold foil, so it is golden!
And the city tower of this city has also been made into a dragon head shape. The city gate is the dragon mouth, and the cornice of the city tower is like a dragon horn, which is both ferocious and domineering!
Xianglong city.
Few prosperous places in the ruins.
Due to the lack of resources in the market, oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar are precious things that need to be purchased from the outside world, and not everyone can go to the outside world. Only in a prosperous place like Xianglong City, can outside merchants come to bring outside goods, and also buy and sell the treasures of the market 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 grab it, it will be imposing at the entrance of our village!"
Mother-in-law Si glanced at him: "if you could grab it, mother-in-law would have grabbed it. Unless you can get the old guys in the village to go out, it will be possible to grab it! Hurry up, it's getting dark, enter the city as soon as possible!"
The wheels were rolling. Qin Mu drove the ox cart into the city and looked around curiously. Everything in Xianglong city made him feel fresh.
The city was crowded with people. He had never seen so many people since he was born.
Moreover, there are many girls, dressed in colorful clothes, standing in buildings with great enthusiasm, pushing open the window lattice, waving to him, and constantly asking him to come and play.
"The city people are so enthusiastic."
Qin Mu was very excited. He waved to the girls and shouted, "when I finish selling, I'll find my sisters to play!"
The blind man couldn't cry or laugh: "shepherd, the girls upstairs are all fallen girls. They don't really want to play with you. If you go up, you will be beaten and skinned, and even the bone marrow can be sucked out for you!"
Qin Mu was startled: "slip? Blind Grandpa, they all stood steady and did not slip. Are they all goblins like Wu Nu? Wu Nu said she would play some shameful things with me, and I didn't promise."
