Otherworldly Merchant
Chapter 1766: The Haunted Road
At first glance, I can't stop drinking.
I am not afraid that they will embarrass me, but face these delightful rowing gangsters, it is very difficult.
I took a sip of the wine now, but I almost threw up choking, wrinkled my eyebrows and swallowed it!
Not only is it high, it's spicy. Once in the throat, it's like eating steel-water magma raw. All five dirty hearts are about to burn.
“Okay!” the old man said admirably.
“Come on!” all around the man with the liquor bowl stretched his arms forward and shouted.
This is the second ceremony, called Concentrate.
Exactly: eight kilograms of water in opposition to the ship!
It means that if the people of the ship do not work together, once it falls, it is like a large iron ball with eight kilograms on it, it deserves to be drowned.
This was an oath when the boat was sailing, but it also turned into a toast. This sip is inevitable!
I put up with the spicy spirit of the formula and took another sip.
“Good luck and good luck, I have all your drinks!” Everyone drank heavily, lined up in rotation, and everyone poured a sip.
This is the last toast.
Wish the boat a safe journey home full of waves.
It is said that when the rowing gang flourished, whoever dared not drink it would immediately throw you into the river and feed you to the fish.
Now, of course, it's just about Gilly.
They're all people living in the water, naturally not touching the mold.
Since both sips, this last sip, even if I'm drunk, I'll have to drink it too!
After this drink, everyone laughed and shouted well!
After these three levels, they saw me as one of their own and never saw me again.
But these three bites of wine made me choke, too. That's hot!
Fortunately, after that, you won't be forced to drink by the amount of alcohol you drink.
I sat down in front of the old man and asked them where they came from.
The rule of the rowing gang is, only ask where, not where.
Because in the early days, there were a lot of bandits, and once they found out where you were going, they would cut off the property halfway, and it wouldn't matter where you came from. Instead, they can ask each other about past accidents.
The old man drank wine and took a long sigh of breath: “We came from the North River. We walked and stopped on this road. The river was a little uneven. We haven't done business in a long time...”
He refers to the Beihang Grand Canal, and the rowing gang also starts on the canal, and in many cases the rowing only refers to the area of the Beihang Canal.
Rowing gangs don't have much business to do, which is understandable.
Now social technology is becoming more and more developed, let alone railways, aviation, much faster than sailing, the same water transport, also steamboat yachts, the most primitive people rowing wooden boats, where's the business? I'm afraid these people are not only the only rowing gangs left in the modern era, but also the last.
But it's hard to understand if it's not peaceful on this river. How much more security is there than it was back then? What other bandits are there? It's not too peaceful. Where do we start?
The old man drank a sip of wine and shook his head gently: “People are robbing, water is evil, this evil water is not removed, the river is difficult to walk! ”
“Are you saying there's a ghost stop?” I asked.
Human robbery refers to bandits and misbehaving, and water evil refers to dangerous or unclean water conditions. It's commonly known as a water ghost, or a water demon.
If you're a regular waterman, it doesn't matter which one you run into.
The Rowing Gang inherited a hundred years. There is some relationship between the river and the lake, and no one will deliberately struggle. And they were extraordinary, and ordinary robbers did not dare to row the gang's boat. There was nothing terrible about the robbery.
They often walk on the Jinghang River Road, where the waves are rushing, where the beach is dangerous, and even more so, there is nothing to worry about for them.
When the rowing gangs sail, they carry some exorcisms, and once they hear of dead people on which river course, they give sacrifices at the first time.
So regular water ghosts, water demons don't have a hard time rowing.
The thing they're most afraid of is meeting ghosts.
Divorce, in the five lines refers to fire.
But when the Rowing Gang says ghosts, it doesn't mean ghosts of fire, it means ghosts don't work, they don't eat hard.
That's the saddest thing about the rowing gang!
As soon as the old man heard me say the word "ghost", his eyes lit up and he measured me again. He arched his hand: “Ask me, but Master Mi? ”
When sacrificing water ghosts, ask a tall man with a way, along both sides of the boat, sprinkle glutinous rice, and recite a soul spell. So they all call this guy who hosts the rice festival ghost the Master Mi Man. After all, the term ghost divorce is a cryptic word between the Mi and the Mi, even the ordinary rowing disciples have never heard of it. I am neither a rowing disciple nor can I say the word ghost at once, the old man naturally treats me like a master rice man.
“I'm only half a pot, but I want to go see this ghost.” I also arched my hand.
“It turns out he's an orderly! That's rude!” The old man stood up immediately and bowed to me in dismay.
The pot, the master of the order, is the black word of the rowing gang.
A pot is a magician who does not walk in a waterway, half a pot, naturally humble.
Master Mi, to be simple and straightforward, is a master who can save the lives of everyone. However, at the time of the rise of the rowing gang, there was only one heavenly master in each faction, which was not random, so the others, however powerful, usually had to call the master.
Everyone around, when the old man kowtowed to me, the calligraphy master, also stood still, even forgot to drink.
“Why are you still standing there? I haven't even met the Master!” The old man drinks.
Everyone stood up in a hurry and rubbed their hands against their chests to show respect. "I have met the Master of Orders! ”
Boats are on the road and most afraid to encounter dirty things, so they've always had extra respect for people who know magic.
I also hurried to get up and give back my gift.
We looked at each other in what the modern man seemed to be a very strange archery, causing all the other tourists on the pier to look almost like a bunch of psychopaths.
But I'm used to it!
Such eyes have been unusual since entering the business of shady businessmen.
Believe it or not, wherever you are, you tell an ordinary person that you are a shady businessman and see how others see you?
And these rowing gangsters, who still maintain such ancient etiquette and habits to this day, I'm afraid they don't get all kinds of different eyes, it's not surprising long ago.
After we gave each other our greetings, no one left their seats again, regardless of what the tourists thought.
Since I have been honored, according to the rules, I have to report to my family, and the use of Zhang Jiulin is a bit of an injustice.
Though the rowing gang have great respect for the orderlies, they have always been a bit cautious!
In ancient times, a lot of people pretended to be lifeguards. After boarding the rowing gang boat, they rode the boat for nothing. Eating and drinking for nothing was not counted. When they left, they also needed money for food. After all, water ghosts are rare, so long as they don't touch dirty things, they can't show their fillings.
The rowing gang can't sin, but they don't want to eat this dark loss.
Since then, a rule has been formed.
Get the master aboard and call home!
This is not only a precautionary approach for the rowing gang, but also a preservation of the reputation of the real master, which was immediately endorsed by the real master.
For example, those who speak the dark language just now will only understand the order master and the rowing gang. Others who understand the five lines of gossip will no longer be able to get mixed up.
