Tales of Herding Gods - 66. Chapter 66

Qin Mu was puzzled, how could he feel bad when he touched the sweat towel, and be unlucky for three years?

However, this “sweat towel” is soft in texture, very lubricious to the touch, and naturally has a fragrance. It is really good for wiping sweat. It should be made of a different kind of silk. It is very valuable. It is difficult to see such a high-quality fabric in the market. .

Qin Mu tucked the sweat towel into his arms and played with the Shaobao sword and scabbard, feeling very happy in his heart.

The upper half of the scabbard of the Shaobao Sword is golden, decorated with jade and beads. The mouth of the scabbard is carved by the ichthyosaur to swallow the mouth. The place where the ichthyosaur opens its mouth is where the sword comes out of the sheath.

The lower half of the scabbard is silver-gray, without any decoration or carving, while the scabbard tail is a carved fish dragon tail, which is also golden.

Ding.

Qin Mu returned the sword back to its scabbard, his vitality poured into the scabbard, and the Shaobao sword came out of the scabbard again. When it was out of the scabbard, a huge ichthyosaur emerged from the scabbard, leaping to the top of his head and spitting out the sword.

Qin Mu raised his hand and drew his sword from the mouth of the fish, feeling refreshed.

“This scabbard is really a good thing, it can manifest the ichthyosaur!”

He returned the sword to its scabbard, and the ichthyosaur swallowed the Shaobao sword and disappeared in the scabbard.

Qin Mu’s heart was in full bloom, and then the vitality poured into the scabbard again, the ichthyosaur reappeared, spitting out the Shaobao sword, he drew the sword and then inserted the Shaobao sword into the mouth of the fish, and the ichthyosaur merged with the scabbard.

He played it over and over again, and the blind man beside him couldn’t help but said, “Mu’er, stop playing, your mother-in-law brought a few more cattle and let you go for herding. These few cattle will be brought to Xianglong. City sold.”

Qin Mu responded and hurried back to the village, taking six bull deer out of the village to graze, wondering in his heart: “My mother-in-law has sold the livestock in the village some time ago, why are there six more cattle now? Where do these cows come from? Coming?”

When he walked out of the village, he saw the village chief, pharmacist, dumb and others gathered together, discussing something. The lame man sat aside and removed one of the black flags. The flag noodles were thrown to Ma Ye as the door curtain of the carpenter’s shop, and the black flag poles were thrown to the grandmother to chase off chickens.

The next day, Qin Mu set up the bullock cart, and the old lady said with a smile: “Mu’er, you will come with you when you enter the city this time.”

Qin Mu was surprised and delighted. He quickly put on his Shaobao sword, brought pig-killing knives, bamboo sticks, hammers, etc., and jumped into the bullock cart. The blind man walked in unhurriedly and sat down with Granny. On the bullock cart.

The car was equipped with some ironware made by dumb people, as well as several piles of exotic animal furs obtained from hunting by Ma Ye, the lame and Qin Mu, and two sheep were tied with their hooves and placed in the cargo.

There are three big oxen in the front of the bullock cart, which are very powerful, and there are still three on the back of the cart.

The young man waved his whip, the big scalper blinked innocently, and walked out of the village.

This was the first time he had entered the city, he couldn’t help feeling a little excited, so excited that he was about to fly, and he didn’t notice the innocent eyes of the big ox and goats.

Mounting Dragon City is far away from the old village, thousands of miles away, so entering the city is a big event. However, the Daxu is desolate and the land is not easy to walk. You have to take the waterway first, and then walk more than ten miles by land to reach the Dragon City.

Qin Mu drove to the bank of the Yongjiang River and saw the cripple put a big bamboo raft on the river. He carefully drove the ox cart to the bamboo raft. The cripple untied the cable and the bamboo raft drifted down the river, faster and faster. .

Even at this speed, it would take four or five days to reach the Dragon City.

After drifting along the way for more than forty miles, the blind man touched the surface of the water with a bamboo stick, and the bamboo raft floated to the shore.

Qin Mu was puzzled. He raised his head and looked towards the shore, only to see that it was in the direction of the Grandma Temple. Many people from various villages had gathered on the shore, and most of them were driving ox carts and carriages, waiting by the river.

The Yongjiang River is treacherous and the current is swift, and there are many monsters and ferocious fish in the river. Therefore, villagers in various villages often choose to go to the Dragon City together on the same day.

The riverside was full of bamboo rafts, and there were bamboo rafts in the distance. After a while, hundreds of bamboo rafts gathered here.

The blind man took out a few sticks of incense, ignited in the wind, and inserted them on the river bank. Other villagers stepped forward and planted a stick of incense on the river bank. The incense mist wafted along the riverside and drifted towards the middle of the river with the breeze.

Suddenly, someone shouted loudly and loudly, and then more people sang loudly along the riverside. This is a Jiang song, sang a tribute to the god of the river.

“Swimming with the female to the Nine Rivers, the wind is blowing and the water is blowing;

“Ride the waterwheel to the lotus cover, and drive the two dragons to the horses;

“Climbing Kunlun and looking around, my heart is flying and mighty;

“The sun will be twilight and forget to return, but I will be very happy;

…”

The ancient tone turned in the nose and throat, and many villagers sang together with a melodious and majestic voice. There was a scene that moved Qin Mu inexplicably.

Suddenly the surface of the water in front of him separated, and the giant creatures protruded from the bottom of the water.

What appeared from the bottom was a giant underwater beast with a cyan back and four huge webs, like fish fins. Their heads looked like fish heads, but they had a long nose, like a spear.

The head of a giant beast in the water was raised, like a small hill, and its nose was put in front of the incense on the bank of the river. With a strong inhalation, a stick of incense on the bank burned rapidly, and the smoke entered the nasal cavity of the behemoth.

These giant beasts closed their eyes, and after a while they opened their mouths and let out a big smoke ring, which seemed to be enjoying themselves.

The villagers on the shore took the opportunity to drive the ox cart to the long green back of the giant beast. Qin Mu saw this and drove to the back of a giant beast. Granny took out a large piece of meat that had been prepared long ago and threw it into the water. , The giant beast ate the piece of meat and let out a long cry, then the four webbeds swam, carrying the bullock cart and the three people in the cart and headed downstream.

Behind them, a series of blue-backed giant beasts made long screams, one after another in the river, along with the ups and downs of the villagers’ singing, the giant beasts drove them upstream.

“This is a unique beast in Yongjiang, called Negative River.”

The old lady 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. The favorite thing is to listen to songs and praise their songs. People living on the riverside only need to light a few sticks. Fragrant can attract them, offer beef, and let Negative River take us down the river. If Negative River is hungry on the way, we have to throw more beef, otherwise they won’t dry and throw us into the water. inside.”

Qin Mu was amazed.

The Negative River behemoth swims very fast, coupled with the downstream, breaking the waves, the strong wind blows, even faster than the galloping horses on the shore.

Qin Mu calculated that at the speed of the Negative River Beast, I was afraid that he could come to the Dragon City thousands of miles away before dark!

In the Yongjiang River, the calls of the Negative River Giant Beasts fluctuate up and down, and the green hills on both sides of the bank also fluctuate.

Looking into the distance, Qin Mu suddenly felt that his body and mind were extremely broad, as if the golden river, green mountains, blue sky and canyon were all hidden in his chest.

This is a magical land, magical people, and magical river beasts. Although to the people outside the big market, there are poor mountains and rivers everywhere, but for Qin Mu, this is his hometown!

In the evening, when the sun went down in the west, Qin Mu saw a small dock appearing on the river bank, and the river beasts gradually slowed down and swam toward the dock.

Granny Sister stood up and laughed: “The Dragon City is coming soon, Muer, drive down, let’s enter the city as soon as possible.”

Qin Mu stopped the bamboo raft and drove ashore. Looking back, he saw that other Negative River beasts also came to shore. People from other villages in Daxu also drove off the ox carts and carts and walked in one direction.

The ox cart traveled for two or three miles and climbed up a small hill. The road ahead was downhill. Qin Mu jumped out of the ox cart to stabilize the oxen so that he would not slide the cart. Suddenly, his heart shook slightly and stared blankly at the front.

Under this hillside, a avenue is straight ahead. There is a simple and majestic city. The four corners of the wall have stone pillars with a thickness of more than 30 feet and a height of about 160 feet. Each stone pillar has a golden color. The dragon is coiled, it should be carved and inlaid with gold leaf, so the golden light is brilliant!

The towers of this city are also shaped like dragon heads. The gate is the dragon’s mouth, and the eaves of the tower are like dragon horns, both hideous and domineering!

Inlaid Dragon City.

A few prosperous places rarely seen in Daxu.

Resources are scarce in the market. Oil, salt, sauce and vinegar are precious things that need to be purchased from the outside world. Not everyone can go to the outside world. Only in a prosperous place like Dragon City can outside businessmen come and bring them. The goods from the outside world are also bought and sold to the outside world.

“The dragon pillars here are much larger than the stone statues in our village.”

Qin Mu praised sincerely, “If it can be grabbed, it will definitely be prestigious at the entrance of our village!”

The grandmother gave him a blank look: “If you could snatch it, the mother-in-law would have snatched it. Unless you can get the old guys in the village out, you can snatch it! Hurry up, it’s getting dark, get into the city sooner!”

As the wheels turned, Qin Mu drove the ox cart into the city, looking around curiously, everything in the Dragon City made him feel fresh.

The city is full of traffic and people are everywhere. He has never seen so many people since he was born.

And there are many girls who are dressed up and show their enthusiasm. They opened the windows and waved at him, constantly asking him to come up and play.

“The people in the city are so enthusiastic.”

Qin Mu was very excited, waved at the girls, and said loudly, “When I finish selling my things, I will find my sisters to play!”

The blind man couldn’t laugh or cry: “Mu’er, the girls upstairs are all missteps. They didn’t really want to play with you. If you go up, you will be knocked on the bones and even the bone marrow can be sucked out for you!”

Qin Mu was startled: “Stumbled? Blind grandfather, they all stood firm and they didn’t appear to be stumbled. Are they all fairies like Wu Nu? Wu Nu said that she wanted to play something shameful with me. , I did not agree.”
