Qin Mu was puzzled, how could it be unlucky to touch the sweat towel, and it would be unlucky for three years?
However, this "sweat towel" is soft, smooth to the touch, and has a natural fragrance. It is really good for wiping sweat. It should be woven from a different species of silk, and it is very valuable. It is rare to see such a high-quality fabric in the Great Ruins. .
Qin Mu stuffed the sweat towel into his bosom, and played with Shaobao sword and scabbard, feeling very happy in his heart.
The upper half of Shaobao sword's scabbard is golden, embellished with jade and beads, and the mouth of the sheath is carved with the mouth of a fish and dragon swallowing.
The lower half of the scabbard is silver-gray without any decorations or carvings, and the tail of the sheath is carved with a ichthyosaur tail, which is also golden.
Ding.
Qin Mu returned the sword back to its sheath, his vitality poured into the scabbard, and the Shaobao sword was unsheathed again. When it was unsheathed, a huge ichthyosaur emerged from the scabbard, jumped on top of his head, and spat out the sword.
Qin Mu raised his hand and drew the sword from Yu's mouth, feeling relieved.
"This scabbard is really a good thing, it can actually manifest an ichthyosaur!"
He returned the sword back to its sheath, and the ichthyosaur swallowed Shaobao's sword and disappeared into the scabbard.
Qin Mu was elated, and then his vitality poured into the scabbard again, the ichthyosaur reappeared, and spit out the Shaobao sword. He drew the sword and inserted the Shaobao sword into the mouth of the fish, and the ichthyosaur merged with the scabbard again.
He played over and over again, and the blind man beside him couldn't help saying: "Mu'er, don't play, your mother-in-law brought some more animals and asked you to herd them. These animals will be brought to Xianglong tomorrow." sell the city."
Qin Mu responded, and hurried back to the village, taking six bulls out of the village to graze, wondering: "My mother-in-law sold the livestock in the village some time ago, why are there six more cows now? Where did these cows come from?" here?"
When he walked out of the village, he saw the village head, the pharmacist, the mute and others gathered together, discussing something. The cripple sat by the side and tore down a black banner, threw the side of the banner to Master Ma to make the door curtain of the carpenter's shop, and threw the pole of the black banner to Granny Si to chase the chickens.
The next day, when Qin Mu harnessed the ox cart, Granny Si smiled and said, "Mu'er, you come with me when you go to the city this time."
Surprised and delighted, Qin Mu hurriedly carried the Shaobao sword on his back, took the butcher's knife, bamboo stick, hammer, etc., and jumped into the bullock cart. The blind man behind him came slowly and sat down with Granny Si On the bullock cart.
The cart was loaded with some ironware made by the mute, as well as a few stacks of exotic animal furs obtained from hunting by Ma Ye, the lame man, and Qin Mu, and two sheep tied with hooves and placed in the cargo.
There are three big yellow oxen in front of the ox cart, which are very powerful, and three are tied to the back of the cart.
The boy swung his whip, and the big ox blinked innocently, and walked out of the village.
This was his first time entering the city, so he couldn't help being a little excited, so excited that his body seemed to fly, and he didn't notice the innocent eyes of the big ox and goats.
Xianglong City is far away from Lao Can Village, thousands of miles away, so entering the city is a big event. However, the Great Ruins is desolate, and the land route is not easy. You have to take the water route first, and then walk more than ten miles by land route to arrive at Xianglong City.
Qin Mu drove to the edge of the Yongjiang River, and saw that the lame man had tied a big bamboo raft by the river. He carefully drove the ox cart to the bamboo raft, and the lame man untied the cable, and the bamboo raft drifted down the river at an increasingly faster speed. .
Even at this speed, it will take four or five days to arrive at Xianglong City.
After drifting for more than forty li along the way, the blind man tapped the water surface with a bamboo stick, and the bamboo raft immediately floated towards the shore.
Qin Mu didn't understand what he meant, and looked up at the shore, only to see that it was in the direction of the Grandma Temple. Many people from various villages had already gathered on the shore, and most of them were waiting by the river with their ox carts and horse-drawn carts.
The Yongjiang River is dangerous, the current is fast, and there are many water monsters and fierce big fish in the river. Therefore, villagers from various villages often choose to go to Xianglong City together on the same day, so that there are many people to take care of each other.
The riverside was full of bamboo rafts, and there were still bamboo rafts coming in the distance. After a while, there were hundreds of bamboo rafts gathered here.
The blind man took out a few sticks of incense, lit them against the wind, and stuck them by the river. Other villagers stepped forward one after another and planted a stick of incense by the river.
Suddenly, someone shouted a loud chant, and then more people sang loudly by the river. This is a river song, and it is about offering sacrifices to the river god.
"Swimming in the Nine Rivers with a girl, the water rises when the wind blows;
"Take a water cart with a lotus cover, drive two dragons with a chi;
"Climbing Kunlun and looking around, my heart is soaring and mighty;
"The sun is coming and the evening is melancholy and forgetting to return, but the extreme is full of joy;
"
The ancient intonation in the nose and throatTurning around, many villagers sang together, their voices were melodious and heroic, and Qin Mu was inexplicably moved by this scene.
Suddenly the water surface in front parted, and huge monsters emerged from the bottom of the water.
Appearing from the bottom of the water are monsters in the water, with cyan backs and four huge webs, like fish fins. Their heads are like fish heads, but they have long noses like spears.
The heads of giant beasts in the water raised up like small hills, and their noses moved to the incense sticks on the bank of the river. When they inhaled hard, a stick of incense on the bank burned rapidly, and the smoke entered the nasal cavity of the giant beasts.
These behemoths closed their eyes, and after a while opened their mouths to spit out a big smoke ring, as if enjoying it very much.
The villagers on the shore took the opportunity to drive the ox cart onto the long green back of the giant beast. Seeing this, Qin Mu hurriedly drove to the back of a giant beast. Granny Si 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, let out a long cry of "†W", then swam with four fins, carried the ox cart and the three people on the cart and went downstream.
Behind them, giant beasts with green backs uttered long cries, and one after another in the river, accompanied by the ups and downs of the villagers' singing, the giant beasts carried them upstream.
"This is a unique beast in the Yongjiang River, called the Negative River."
Granny Si said: "The negative river is the god of the river in the hearts of the villagers living along the river. They like the smoke of incense and eating beef. What they like most is listening to songs and praising them. Those who live by the river only need to light a few sticks The incense can attract them, offer beef, and then let the negative river take us down the river. If the negative river is hungry on the way, we must throw some more beef, otherwise they will quit and throw us into the water inside."
Qin Mu was amazed.
?The Negative River Giant Beast swims very fast, plus it goes down the current, breaking through the waves all the way, with strong winds blowing in its face, even faster than a galloping horse on the shore.
Qin Mu calculated that with the speed of the negative river beast, he might be able to come to Xianglong City thousands of miles away before dark!
In the Yongjiang River, the cries of the giant beasts on the negative river fluctuate up and down, and the green hills on both sides of the river also fluctuate up and down. The sun shines from the front, the golden waves sparkle on the river, and the golden snakes dance wildly.
Looking from a distance, Qin Mu suddenly felt that his body and mind were extremely spacious, as if all the golden rivers, green mountains, blue sky and valleys were contained in his chest.
This is a magical land, with magical people, and magical river beasts. Although for people outside the Great Ruins, there are poor mountains, bad waters, shrews and troublemakers everywhere, for Qin Mu, this is his hometown!
In the evening, when the sun was setting, Qin Mu saw a small dock appearing on the bank of the river, and the river beasts gradually slowed down and swam towards the dock.
Granny Si got up and smiled, "Xianglong City is almost here, Mu'er, drive down, let's enter the city as soon as possible."
Qin Mu parked the bamboo raft and drove ashore. Looking back, he saw other beasts of the negative river also approaching the shore one after another. People from other villages in the Great Ruins also got off their carts and carts and walked in one direction.
The ox cart drove for two or three miles, climbed a small hill, and there was a downhill road ahead. Qin Mu jumped out of the ox cart to hold the big yellow ox so that it would not slip. Suddenly his heart shook slightly and he stared blankly at the front.
At the foot of the hill, there is an avenue straight ahead, and there is a simple and majestic city. There are stone pillars at the four corners of the city wall, which are more than 30 feet thick and about 1670 feet high. The dragon is coiled, it should be carved, and it is inlaid with gold leaf, so it is golden!
And the towers of this city were also made into the shape of a dragon's head, the gate of the city was the mouth of a dragon, and the cornices of the towers were like dragon horns, which were ferocious and full of domineering power!
Inlaid Dragon City.
A few prosperous places in Daxu.
Resources are scarce in the Great Ruins, and oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar are precious things that need to be purchased from the outside world, and not everyone can get them from the outside world. Only in a prosperous place like Xianglong City, there are outside businessmen who come and bring The goods from the outside world are also bought and sold to the outside world at the same time as the rare things in Daxu.
"The dragon pillars here are much larger than the stone statues in our village."
Qin Mu praised sincerely: "If it can be snatched, it will definitely be majestic if it is placed at the entrance of our village!"
Granny Si gave him a white look: "If you could snatch it, Grandma would have snatched it away long ago. Unless you can get all the old guys in the village to mobilize, then it is possible to snatch it away! Hurry up, it's getting dark, get into the city early!"
As the wheels turned, Qin Mu drove the ox cart into the city, looking around curiously. Everything in Xianglong 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, all dressed up, standing enthusiastically on the buildings, pushing open the window sills to wave to him, and constantly calling him to come up and play.
"The people in the city are really warm."
Qin Mu was very excited, waved at the girls, and said loudly: "I'll play with my sisters after I sell the things!"
The blind man couldn't laugh or cry: "Mu'er, the girls upstairs are all girls who have lost their feet. They don't really want to play with you. If you go up, you will be beaten to the bone, and even the bone marrow will be sucked out of you!"
Qin Mu was taken aback: "Misstep? Blind Grandpa, they are all standing still, and they don't appear to have stumbled. Could it be that they are all fairies like Wu Nu? Wu Nu said that she wanted to play something shameful with me. , I didn¡¯t agree.¡± (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com)Let him go and keep asking him to come up and play.
