The book continued last time, and said that Chu Xunyu and his group were sailing towards eastern Guangdong on Qiu Luhua's boat. It was another morning and another day bored. After Mu Yuan got up, he came to the deck with Shang Qian, glanced at the fishing rod, and shook his head helplessly. Turned around and looked at the dice on the table. Most of the people on the sea were lonely, so they always fought with loneliness by drinking and gambling. Mu Yuan's gambling skills have increased a lot during the past few days, but after playing for so many days, he couldn't help but shake his head. What should I do today? What should I do? This question seems to have become Mu Yuan's biggest life problem at the moment.

Wang Chen is pretty good. He finally started to look a little bit human these days. At least he could get out of bed. Although his face was still as ugly as ever, he could already struggle to get out of bed and drink some porridge. It was probably because he was hungry. Considering Wang Chen's health, Qiu Luhua specially ordered the chef on the boat to stew some egg lean meat porridge for the chef. Miao Buyan put a small bowl of Wang Chen. Wang Chen felt much more comfortable after drinking it.

Chu Xunyu was not idle. He was accompanied by Sun Mengqing to learn to identify navigation charts these days. Sun Mengqing is a military strategist. Although he has never fought a water battle, he is also an expert in map reading. Chu Xunyu had been fighting in the army for many years and was a veteran in the picture readings, so he has been working hard to learn navigation these days.

In the past few days, it has deviated from the route planned. Considering that the surrounding situation is unclear, I took a remote route. Qiu Luhua still lying on the mast as usual. He occasionally came down to give some instructions, but he almost didn't disturb everyone. All the ordinary affairs on the ship were managed by Chen Yanyan. He was one of the ten-win chairs and could ignore anything all day. Mu Yuan was very envious and thought about when he could have a big ship that could travel to sea so casually.

Everyone was busy with their own affairs. Suddenly, the gong on the ship rang and the calm began to explode. Everyone was shocked. Mu Yuan laughed, hoping that something would happen to the moon. If he continued like this, he would have to suffocate to death. He quickly threw away the fishing rod in his hand, pulled Shang Qian and ran to the side of the deck. Chu Xunyu also heard the sound beside Chen Yanyan. Someone came in and reported to Chen Yanyan that something was floating on the sea surface on the lookout hand on the main mast. Then Chen Yanyan ordered people to lower the main sail, sail slowly, and take people out to see what was going on.

The lookout hand found something floating on the sea from the far side of the ship's side. When the big ship approached, it turned out that there was a rough and broken wooden cabinet. It was not uncommon for corpses to be found on the sea. Anyway, the emperor was far away. The life conflicts of the boat were all spoke with his fists, stabbed to death and threw them into the sea to feed the fish. However, the corpse was holding a broken wooden cabinet. It was obvious that it should not have been killed by someone, but the ship sank and escaped. It was an extraordinary period now, so Chen Yanyan still asked someone to salvage the body and see what was going on.

So the sailors threw out the rope hook and hooked the body. After going down, a few people pulled it on the deck. The boat doctor went up to check that the body was an ordinary person, not a cultivator, and the sailor was dressed in his fifties. The waterman looked old. The unique sea breeze and frost years left many traces on his face, but it was not from the Sigu. There were many ordinary people in the Sigu. However, without exception, there were blood-colored skeleton marks on his chest. This person did not. Chen Yanyan judged that this person was a smuggling dealer, because most of the remote routes were smuggling people selling sea salt and wine. Over the years, people on this route were often thrown into the sea by their companions because of uneven distribution of spoils on this route, or abandoned the ship and fled because of natural disaster ships.

Chu Xunyu couldn't help but go up and check it. He found that this person was still alive, but he had been drifting in the sea for a long time, lacking water and food. He couldn't stand it and fainted. If he could hold it in one breath, there was hope. So he hoped that Chen Yanyan could let him save him, but unexpectedly, Chen Yanyan agreed in one mouthful, which surprised Chu Xunyu.

This is what Chu Xunyu doesn't know. Although Shigu is a pirate and is notorious, he has always been open-minded about such things. This is related to Chen Qi's leadership. The entire Shigu hosted many ordinary people during the war, and they were all from poor families. After all, some people have to do these dirty and tiring work on the boat. These mortals usually row the sails, break down and pull the fibers, and finally have some food to eat. They will choose good qualifications to give their skills to practice. In short, no matter how the 6 sects do it, how the sects do it, but the methods are different. Moreover, people on the water are superstitious and must be saved when they are in danger, otherwise the Dragon King will not accept you when you die, and they will be lonely and ghosts on the sea all their lives; not to mention that if you don't save others today, and if you are in danger tomorrow, others will not save you.

Since Chen Yanyan agreed, there was nothing to say. Chu Xunyu straightened the man, pricked him a few needles, and fed some herbs with clear water. Soon after, the man retching a few times, vomited a few mouthfuls of sour water and slowly woke up. However, he angrily blew his beard and glared at him. Someone was fighting for his job with him. Mu Yuan also comforted him and told him that his brother was originally selling Dali Pills in the world, and he had some tricks. The man in the world gave him the nickname "Rural Sai Hua Tuo", and it was not embarrassing to lose to him. Chu Xunyu was so angry that he rolled his eyes at him.

Since the person woke up, there was nothing wrong, and everyone left to do their own business. Chen Yanyan asked the boat to continue sailing, ordered the man to take a chair and a blanket, let the man sit up, brew a cup of hot tea to warm up, and took a few steamed buns to fill his hunger. The man who looked like an uncle was confused at first, and was a little frightened. He thought he had seen the blood-colored skull flag of Skeleton, but unexpectedly, the uncle looked up and saw that it was the name of Skeleton, and breathed a sigh of relief. He leaned on the back of the chair and wrapped the blanket, shaking, holding the steamed bun and opening his mouth to chew, and gudonggugudonggugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugu

choked and coughed. Later Chu Xunyu realized that Shigu never made things difficult for these smugglers. They could not do anything and always gave people a way out. What's more, Shigu is the dignified sea overlord, which makes these little shrimps difficult for them? These smugglers can pay some money on a monthly basis, and they can even replenish supplies at nearby Shigu. If they are essential goods such as salt or wine, they don't even have to pay the money for the money, and they can trade them directly. After all, Shigu is half a colleague of them in some aspects, and they will not just suppress them.

Only certain taboo businesses will completely destroy you. Chen Qi has set strict rules in this regard, such as human trafficking and human trafficking, which are not ashamed of being despicable by peers. Selling children for money, or selling their daughter to go to brothels. That is really harmful. You don’t have to wait for the government to come to take you. Shi Gu crashes into killing you once, and comes back to receive rewards with a head, and never accepts any surrender or captives. No matter how good or bad they are, from the captain to the sailors who drag the deck, they all cut all their swords and kill them, killing them, robbing all the money and silver on the ship, and the last fire

After burning the boat, the rescued people went directly to the coastal government wharf and finished the matter; for example, the stolen officials wanted by the court, who took their family members, old and young people, gold and silver, and fine gold, and soft to go out to sea to avoid the limelight, but were caught by Shi Gu and took them to the government to receive rewards. If they resisted, there was no need to explain in detail. As for cloth dealers, wood dealers, etc., they all wanted to make a living to ask for food. Shi Gu himself also needed them to supplement their supplies. After all, it was far away in the depths of the sea and it was inconvenient to trade with six places, so they had always had a good relationship. When the uncle saved saw that it was Shi Gu's ship, he felt much more at ease.

After the uncle recovered, he told everyone what he had happened. It turned out that he had met "Qinke".

Most people are unfamiliar with the name Quanke, but there is another name that everyone must have heard of, that is "mermaid", and some people call it "mermaid". Yes, it is the legendary guest of the ocean with fish tails. When Mu Yuan heard this, he jumped three feet high. It is said that it is better to meet than to be famous. The legend of the mermaid is well-known and has been recorded in all dynasties. From "Shan Hai Jing" to "Bowu Zhi" to the great poet Du Fu of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shangyin has mentioned that Li Shangyin's poem "The moon is bright in the sea and the pearls have tears, and the sun is warm in the blue field produces smoke" is popular. It is one of the two major characteristics of the mermaid "wrought tears into pearls, and does not waste shark silk". It is said that the tears of the mermaid fall to the ground and turn into pearls. A kind of fabric woven with water plants does not soak when it encounters water, avoids water and wind. When people wear it, they can travel around the lakes and seas, and cross the water like a flat ground.

But Chen Yanyan coldly poured Mu Yuan a basin of cold water on his head. She told everyone that the real mermaids are not the poetic and picturesque written by those literati in history. On the contrary, those who are sailing on the sea know that meeting mermaids is an extremely unlucky thing, and there will be blood disasters. Like humans, mermaids are also divided into male and females. The male mermaids are dark in color, covered in scales, ugly in appearance, with big eyes and big ears, and can reach the ear roots with sharp teeth. The female mermaids have a slightly better appearance, but they are not good people. The mermaids are extremely lustful in nature, like to eat meat, and especially like human flesh. The mermaids speak like songs, which are gentle and charming, and are extremely bewitching. They look at the moon at night and sing on rocks, attracting sailors from nearby ships to get close to them and bewitched by mermaids.

But the Quanke that this uncle met is not that simple, please listen to his words...

This uncle is from Guangdong, with his surname as "Qian". Let's call him Qian Bo. Qian Bo turned out to be the helmsman on a private tea dealer. He has been running for nearly forty years. These familiar routes run like playing. Not long ago, I took a trip to "Moon Live", which is commonly known as smuggling, and sent a large number of tea to Yingtian. Ten days ago, I met the passing Shigu sent a ship, and exchanged tea with the Shigu brothers on the ship for a lot of good things.

One night three days ago, Qian Bo saw nothing happening around and was far from the coast. The official boat could not patrol here, so he gave the rudder to his apprentice, and took a wine pot back to the cabin for a while. The boss of the helm has a good status on the boat and also has his own small room. After eating some side dishes and drinking two taels of wine, Qian Bo felt very good. He covered his head and slept without saying a word, preparing to sleep until dawn to welcome the rising sun on the sea level.

When he slept until midnight, Qian Bo felt cold, but he was also a little bit of trouble. The place in Guangdong and Guangxi has always been hot, so how could this happen? However, Zhenghan was too lazy to care about these things. He pulled the quilt and covered it a few times. He heard a faint "crying" sound in his ears in a daze. Qian Bo was furious and too lazy to get up. He closed his eyes and cursed his disciples outside, asking them to watch out for the mice in the warehouse. He always warned them to clean up on weekdays. Now there are more and more mice, and he is getting more and more courageous. He sees that he will not get up tomorrow and do not clean up these lazy guys.

After sleeping for a while, Qian Bo's eyes suddenly woke up because he felt that the boat had landed. The people who ran the boat regarded the boat as their home and were most sensitive to the movements on the boat. Let's say that, you may not be able to wake up if you steal his wallet, but even if Qian Bo's sleeps, he is clear in his heart. Qian Bo raised his head and felt that the boat was getting slower and slower, and the surroundings were so cold that he couldn't help but scold the bastard apprentices that must have turned the wrong route of the boat again, so he picked up his clothes and pulled it out to curse people.

Unexpectedly, the cabin was quiet, dark and not even lighted. Qian Bo was so angry that his forehead was green. These bastards must have been drinking and gambling on the deck again. Even the boat didn't know how to drive, so they took two steps at a time and went up to the deck, preparing to catch the apprentices. But when they got on the deck, they saw that Qian Bo's face was really green, because there was no one on the deck. A cool sea breeze blew, and there was a little bloody smell. Qian Bo looked in the direction and felt bad.

The boat was parked in the shallow water of a small island. Chamber was familiar with this island. He often passed by it. It was a reef and deserted island, but it was different now. There were many torches scattered on the island, half extinguished and half burned. There were two or three small boats on his own boat around. Under the flames, several mermaids were eating the corpse, and the corpse was surrounded by scattered knives and ropes.

The scene in front of him has been running for more than 40 years. However, it was obvious that the apprentice on the boat had found mermaids, so he made an appointment to go up and catch them. It would be awesome to catch mermaids. He would never have to worry about eating and drinking for the rest of his life. It was said that a lucky boat runner could hit the injured and stranded mermaids and catch them for a sky-high price. Therefore, some brave crew members on the sea often heard the mermaids singing, but instead of retreating, plugging their ears with cotton balls and holding peppers on their mouths, so that they could be sober and not bewitched by the songs.

The brothers used knives and rods, stood a boat and leaned over from behind, then rushed up, scattered with fishing nets, swung them with wooden sticks, and chopped them with knives. No matter what means, no matter whether they were dead or alive, as long as they could catch one, they would not be in vain. But to be honest, the mermaids on these reefs were singing in groups of rocks, and the current people jumped into the water when they approached. If they were angry, they would directly grab the humans and drag them into the sea. So those who wanted to catch the mermaids were usually sent to the dead with unclear minds, and few could come back alive.

Seeing that his disciple was helpless, Qian Bo didn't know how many people were left on the boat, but after all, he had rich experience in the world. He knew that his idiot disciples must have heard the mermaids singing and became greedy, so he went to the gate of hell. So he lowered his head and lay down along the side of the boat, hugged his waist and ran to the rudder of the stern. He wanted to drive the boat and run quickly. But there were two things that didn't make sense to the story, and Chen Yanyan also expressed his disbelief, because first, Qian Bo had been running on this route for so many years, and had never heard of mermaids in this sea area. Mermaids were usually in the depths of the ocean; secondly, there were a bunch of old passengers on this boat, besides Qian Bo, there were a lot of old ship passengers, such as captains, etc. The disciples didn't know the forehead. Could they have been blinded by money after decades? Can they promise them to do this?

But when he ran to the stern, Qian Bo was almost scared. Under the moonlight, Qian Bo saw the captain and the others lying in a pool of blood. Two black mermaids were holding their heads and holding them to gnaw. What was particularly strange was that these mermaids seemed to be different from the legendary ones, with white bones exposed everywhere, and it was chilly. Qian Bo was too lazy to care about what happened to the mermaids, so he held his breath and calmed down and retreated. After taking a step back, a sudden change of mutated and regenerated, and the hull was tilted sharply. According to legend, the mermaids would chisel through the hull after eating the crew and overturned the big ship. After a few breaths, the ship collapsed in a thunderous breath. Qian Bo held a dilapidated wooden cabinet and drifted along the water. I don’t know how long it took until today to be rescued.

After hearing what Qian Bo had happened, it seemed that he was not a lie. Chen Yanyan sent someone to send Qian Bo back to rest first. When the person left, he looked up and gestured to Qiu Luhua on the mast. Qiu Luhua jumped down. He had seen everything he had just given birth and heard it in his ears. He sat lazily at the tea table as always, drinking tea while checking the chart. He and Chen Yanyan had the same views. It was impossible for mermaids to appear in this sea area. Qiu Luhua had been in the world for many years and had met mermaids. Mu Yuan asked with interest: "What happened later?"

"Cut it to death." Qiu Luhua answered firmly, pressed one foot on the chair and peeled the peanuts and ate it.

Mu Yuan shouted in disappointment: "No, I haven't seen any tears in my eyes yet."

"Listen to my honest advice." Qiu Luhua rarely put away his smile and looked at Chu Xunyu and the other two, "If you meet this thing, especially the female mermaids, don't have any fantasies. Cut them until they die, and pull out their disgusting gills from their bodies."

Qiu Luhua's expression seemed a little painful. It seemed that he had suffered from the mermaids, but everyone was not interested in asking. However, Qiu Luhua told everyone that mermaids were nests in groups, and they were never too far from their nests. The nests were usually built in the deep sea. This sea transport private ship often came and went frequently. If there were mermaids' nests, it would be great? It would have been a long time ago, and I would still be waiting for today? What's more, the appearance of the fishman mentioned by the boss of the helm seemed to be a little different from that of Qiu Luhua before. It seemed that he didn't know what was going on without asking the mermaids.

Mu Yuan shouted in surprise: "Do you still have any contact with the mermaid?"
