Becoming a God Starting from a Water Monkey
Chapter 46: Worship the River God?
Pay for the sacrifice?
When he heard that he was going to pay, Liang Qu frowned subconsciously.
In the old days, due to backward production tools, fishermen's personal safety on the water was greatly threatened during storms, so they worshiped the legendary sea gods as protectors of life and blessings of harvests.
The frequency is very high, guaranteed twice a year, once in spring and once in June.
If it's like last night, there will definitely be one.
But you have to tell me the money...
Liang Qu finally recognized it. The river god Uncle Li mentioned was the big monster he saw last night. However, to ordinary people, there was no difference. They were all powerful creatures that humans could not fight against.
He was not very willing, but he had no choice. People like Scarlet Zhang would not dare to do such a thing without paying for the sacrifice to the River God.
"Uncle Li, how much will it cost?"
Li Dakang thought for a while: "I haven't heard of any deaths this time. If you have a strong man in your family, you should pay about a hundred cents, right? In previous years, this amount is basically the same. It is more grand on June 6th, so you will ask for more."
It's not too much. Liang Qu breathed a sigh of relief. There were only three taels of silver given by Master Yang last time, which was more than enough.
However, the ship still has to go out.
There are "a lot" of boats stopping on the shore, but that's not all. There are many people on the dock who are just trying to make a living and don't care about being eaten by the so-called river god.
Faced with Li Dakang's kindness, Liang Qu apologized.
"Hey, you kid, why didn't you listen to my advice? What will happen if you are two days late?"
"Uncle Li, I'm afraid you don't know. Brother Shui went out to fish in the heavy rain last night. Didn't he come back smoothly? I'm afraid everyone saw what the big demon looked like." Lin Songbao walked over from the side and raised his voice. call.
"Song Bao? What are you talking about? It's the River God, the River God!"
Some fishermen got anxious and tried to cover Lin Songbao's mouth, but Lin Songbao ran away without covering it at all.
"Aren't they all the same? Last year I saw that big wide fish. It was taller and bigger than a boat. You also said it was a river god. And last year, that piranha had a tooth that was bigger than a human. , can’t even hold it.
It happens every year. From the time I was born to now, I have never seen the same one. I wonder how there can be so many river gods in one river. If they are all river gods, they are not allowed to fight. Aren't they just big monsters? "
Li Dakang beat his chest and stamped his feet: "You have no reverence, no reverence!"
Chen Cheng on the side reacted and asked quickly: "Ah Shui, did you go fishing last night?"
"yes."
Liang Qu didn't shy away from it, and it wasn't a big deal. There must have been a lot of people who saw the big demon, otherwise it wouldn't have spread to everyone now.
"I was quite close last night, but the waves were so big when the 'River God' fell into the water. If I hadn't caught it firmly, the boat would have capsized. Then I hurried back and didn't catch a single fish." arrive."
Li Dakang was afraid and said: "It's too dangerous, it's really too dangerous. Fortunately, you are far away. If you are close, wouldn't you be eaten?"
Lin Songbao laughed loudly: "It's so exaggerated. How big the talent is, how big the demon is. Eating a person is like eating a grain of rice. I feel tired even if I open such a big mouth."
Li Dakang felt very uncomfortable: "How can you talk, kid?"
Lin Songbao dug his ears, pretended not to hear, and stepped forward to lean against Liang Qu: "Brother Shui, I've been waiting for you for a long time. If I hadn't seen your sampan at the pier, I would have wanted to go to your house to find you."
Brother Shui?
Liang Qu was a little surprised.
Lin Songbao had never called him that. Even if he sold fish that day and said he would round it up later, he still called him Ah Shui. After all, Lin Songbao was older than him.
"So you've been waiting for me? Is there something wrong?"
"Hey, let me ask you if you have time recently. My dad wants to treat you to a meal. What do you think? He told you to choose the time and place."
"Did you hear something?"
"I don't know either.
Lin Songbao scratched his head, "My father didn't tell me. He said I was a big talker and couldn't hide things. He wouldn't let me know the news you didn't tell. But he told me that you have a big future in Pingyang Town. Let me call you Brother Shui when we meet. "
Liang Qu was thoughtful.
Yixing City and Pingyang Town are very close, but they are separated by more than ten miles. What happened that night was very closed. Only the martial arts apprentices knew about it, and most of the apprentices were staying in the hotel. It would take some time for things to ferment.
Lin Di, the director of the fishing camp, obviously has his own information channels.
Lin Songbao urged: "How about it, whether it's OK or not, just tell me something and I'll go back and tell my dad."
"Then let's do it tomorrow night. The place is arbitrary. Just come over and let me know when you've decided."
Liang Qu didn't refuse. He missed his own awning boat a little. Maybe this was an opportunity.
The sampan is too small, has no roof, and the cabin is full of water when it rains. It is not as good as the awning boat.
"good!"
"Then I'm going out on the boat."
"I'll see you tomorrow morning."
"Um."
The surface of the river is calm, and the water reflects the light of the stars and the moon.
The oars stirred the lake surface, and the water made a splashing sound.
Boom, boom, boom.
The oars hit the water, and the dull sound spread far along the water waves.
Ripples appeared on the surface of the water. Unable to move, he emerged from the water. His scales glowed with a cold blue light, complementing the sparkling moonlight.
After a day of absence, the immobile body grew again, reaching an exaggerated height of nearly three meters. It was enough to scare any Jianghuai fishermen walking beside the boat. Ordinary people would never believe that it was a Taihua crocodile.
However, at this time, Immovable was floating calmly on the surface of the water, holding a small crab monster that was tapping its two claws.
The crab monster spit bubbles, and its jade-white shell became much harder, with a slightly greenish color. The sound of knocking became more and more metallic. It was also much bigger. It used to be as big as a fist, but now it was a circle bigger than a fist.
After seeing the real big monster last night, Liang Qu knew that the crab monster was just the bottom of the monster ecological chain.
Its cubs must grow rapidly, especially with sufficient nutrition, otherwise it would be difficult to survive in the fiercely competitive deep water area.
Perhaps the mother of the fist came to the shallow water area to try to lay eggs and hatch the cubs in a safer place.
At the current growth rate, it will take less than two months for the fist to be useful, and it will no longer be a head pendant that cannot move.
It's interesting to say that thanks to the scales on the body that cannot move, the fist's feet are very easy to fix the body, and the two are almost inseparable.
In contrast, the green back of the fat catfish is too smooth and it can't stand steadily at all.
Splash.
Speak of the devil, the fat catfish surfaced, the water flowed down its smooth green back and merged into the lake. It raised its head and spit a water arrow at its fist, knocking it into the water.
Seeing that his plan had succeeded, Ah Fei turned over, revealing his white belly, as if "laughing out loud", and his long whiskers kept trembling.
The fist that fell into the water flow swam like a lobster, curling up its lower body, and flew to Ah Fei's mouth, and clamped its long whiskers.
Ah Fei's catfish whiskers were flesh whiskers, and he felt pain and swung them around in the water.
It was already huge, exceeding the three-meter mark, reaching three meters and three meters. Under its thick skin, there were thick muscles hidden, and its explosive power made it so that no fish dared to provoke it in the water.
At this moment, it swung its body, like a water dragon, which was very amazing, and the water splashed over.
Only the monk who couldn't move was like an old monk in meditation, standing by unmoved.
Seeing that the two beasts were playing more and more, and the cabin was filled with water, Liang Qu immediately stopped them, and the two beasts stopped fighting.
"A Fei, help me catch fish, try to catch more expensive ones, such as carp and yellow croaker, understand?"
A Fei shook his long whiskers to show that he understood.
The growth of the two beasts brought higher wisdom. Now they can not only identify precious fish with "abnormalities", but also some expensive fish species.
As a disciple of Master Yang, Liang Qu went out on a boat and caught a catch of 300 coins. It's not too much, right?
