Chapter 245: Sacrifice to the River God

"Duobao? Just your small body, it's good not to be abducted! I heard people say that now many brothels have played new tricks, and they like your rabbit!" The man stretched out his hand and asked Zhang Bairen to head Touch it.
Looking at the hand, Zhang Bairen's footsteps flashed, and he walked away without a trace, and looked at the man squintly: "Uncle, can he take it on the next journey?"
"You kid, come with me!" Seeing Zhang Bairen walk away, the man took Zhang Bairen to the pier without paying attention.
"I don't know how many taels of silver it needs," Zhang Bairen said behind him.
"It's not easy for your kid to go out alone. The money will be spared. It's not bad for you." The man strode ahead and said, "My name is Tiejun, the leader of the Helan family caravan."
"The Helan family?" Zhang Bairen put his hands in his sleeves. The surname Helan is rare.
The Tiejun said in front: "When you get on the boat, don't walk around indiscriminately, you guys. The noodles are lost. You can't tell if you have a mouth, and there are no taboos for the rest!"
After hearing Tie Jun's words, Zhang Bairen slowly followed Tie Jun and nodded slowly: "It's also interesting!"
When I arrived at a pier, I saw seventeen or eight big ships, and the big ships stopped quietly in the port. The business traveler Lifu is carrying goods, and the whole terminal is not lively.
"Let's go, the seventeen or eight ships in front of you belong to the Helan family!" Tie Jun walked in front, and the guards and buddies in the past greeted Tie Jun with a smile.
"Brother Tie, didn't you say that you are going to the city to buy some accessories for your mother-in-law? Why are you back so soon!" a fourteen-five-year-old man grinned.
"Uncle Tie, who is this little bit? Could it be your illegitimate child outside?" Someone laughed at Zhang Bairen behind Tie Jun.
Although Zhang Bairen is young, he wears a hair crown instead of sideburns, which looks quite extraordinary.
Coupled with the successful Taoism, the skin is tender and fair, although he is dressed in coarse linen, but he has its own demeanor.
"Don't talk nonsense, you kid, dare to talk nonsense that I tore your mouth! If this matter comes to my mother-in-law's ears, you must make trouble with me!" Tie Jun's expression changed, he looked around, and saw no one. When he noticed this, he glared at the guy and said: "This kid is going to Zhuojun to take the caravan's footsteps. I saw that it is not easy for him to go out alone, so I made a special bond."
Who is the Iron Army? Needless to say, the leader of the Helan family's guards, he is absolutely capable of vision.
Although Zhang Bairen's clothes are ordinary, he has his own demeanor standing there, and no one can ignore its existence.
And even though Zhang Bairen's body is made of coarse linen, it is not stained with dust, has no patch loopholes, and his skin is white and tender. Obviously he is not a child of a poor family. He has been pampered since childhood.
Although Da Sui didn't have the habit of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, there were countless high-ranking people in the world and countless seniors, and even the nobles did not know where they were. As long as there is a chance, it is good to forge good bonds.
And as that Tiejun said, the caravan of more than a dozen big ships is not bad for Zhang Bairen's house.
Board the ship
Da Chuan didn't know what kind of wood it was made of. It had a hard texture and high toughness. When Zhang Bairen stepped on it, he felt like stepping on marble.
Each big ship is divided into two floors. The Tiejun led Zhang Bairen to the second floor. He pointed to one of the rooms and said, "This is the room. The next half month belongs to your kid."
"Thank you, uncle!" Zhang Bairen was not polite, walked into the house and looked at it for a while, except that the quilt was a bit damp, and everything was complete.
"You kid don't run around, the water is not safe! And there are passengers on the road. Don't blame me for not taking care of you if your kid was abducted." Tie Jun turned and left, Zhang Bairen stretched out his palm, and the water vapor on the bedding instantly evaporated. He was clean, shrunk into a ball and held it in his hand.
Lying on the bedding, Zhang Bairen let out a sigh of relief, and hasn't been so relaxed for a long time.
at night
A group of people were noisy, and the fleet left the pier under the lights and headed towards the gate.
It is rare for Zhang Bairen not to meditate and practice, and there is no divine womb in his dantian, so his life is much easier.
"Map of the ancient country of Loulan!" Zhang Bairen took out the map from his sleeve and slowly opened it on the case table, constantly examining the location of the map.
After a long time, I saw a little clue, and I was able to roughly determine the location of the ancient country of Loulan.
This is also thanks to the advancement of science and technology in the previous life. Zhang Bairen once used an electronic satellite map to take a close look at the entire map of China in order to see the world's Fengshui dragon vein.
Although the Sui and Tang Dynasties are away from the vicissitudes of the 21st world, thousands of years of history, world events have changed, and geology has changed, but Zhang Bairen still finds a trace of the past in the blur.
"It's actually in the territory of the Western Turks!" Zhang Bairen frowned. Even if it wasn't the territory of the Western Turks, it was the border between the Western Turks and Dunhuang.
"West Turks! This is a bit troublesome!" Zhang Bairen looked at the map. The map can only see a general location. How can we accurately find the site of the ancient Loulan country?
Zhang Bairen stroked his chin and counted the time. He was tossing and tracking all the way outside the Great Wall. It was almost the end of February. Yang Guang was about to turn back in March, and then returned to the eastern capital of Luoyang in April.
It seems that this year in the Great Sui Dynasty is considered to be a relatively stable year. Except for some small disturbances, Yang Guang did not make any major moves.
Looking at the three poles in the sun, Zhang Bairen walked out of the cabin. At this time, there was noisy at the bow of the ship. I saw countless guards holding a series of sacrificial objects such as colored threads, pig heads tied with red silk, silver coins, etc., lighting the incense in their hands, a series of sacrifice After the prayer, the tribute was thrown into the river.
Zhang Bairen frowned, and the distinction of sacrifice has been around for a long time! There are countless water monsters in the world today. If you want to cross the river safely, you must worship the river god!
Not to mention whether the river will suppress the water monsters and avoid their chaos, it will be fine if the river does not add to your chaos!
If you don't worship the river god, don't want to pass safely. Don’t miss the waves, let you know how great!
The great families also swallowed their anger and had no choice. The gods were born on the basis of the Great Sui. They were the power of the Great Sui. The ordained gods were either the old gods, or the heroes of the Great Sui, and made great contributions to the Great Sui.
If anyone dares to trespass these gods, they must ask the court if they can agree!
All the way to sacrifice, the Tiejun came to Zhang Bairen's side: "What's the matter, how can your kid be so depressed!"
"Do you have to keep offering sacrifices along the way?" Zhang Bairen looked at the Tiejun, without answering questions.
"There is no way without sacrificing! This river is divided into countless river sections, with countless river gods. It is impossible to go down if there is no silver, incense candles, colored paper, and tribute!" Tie Jun said helplessly. .
"What if you don't make sacrifices?" Zhang Bairen looked at Tie Jun.
"No sacrifice? Believe it or not, there will be a water monster attacking your fleet in the next moment?" Tie Jun shook his head.
"The Helan family can walk the east and west line, and there will be no masters in the family, so will you be afraid of the mere water monster?" Zhang Bairen carried his hands on his back.
"You don't understand, killing the water monster will cause the water to take action personally, and then it will be even more troublesome! Instead of doing this, it is better to settle down, and you can make hundreds of thousands of taels of silver on a trip, except for manpower, expenses, and sacrifices. There are still tens of thousands of taels left by the government's management." Tiejun smiled bitterly.
Zhang Bairen was silent ~EbookFREE.me~ Watching the caravan of the Helan family keep offering sacrifices along the way, the pigs' heads were submerged in the water, wasted, and the fish and shrimps in the water were cheap. Poor people on the shore were starved to death because they couldn't eat enough. Some people might not be able to see the fishy meat all year round, and they were not as good as fish and shrimp in the water.
"This world..." Zhang Bairen was speechless, at least with his current strength, he couldn't do anything.
"Don't worry about it! I can't control so much! The evil of the family's family has a long history, and the system is deeply rooted. It is dependent on the disaster and blessings of the Great Sui Dynasty. When I become the Yang God, let's talk about other things." Zhang Bairen took a deep breath and turned away. Entered the house.
The food on the boat was well equipped, at least Zhang Bairen seemed to be good. There were meat buns and lamb stuffed buns in every meal. They were delicious.
Along the way, the Northland was wailing. Although a heavy snow swept across the Northland and the Sanyang Fire Talisman was removed, it was still bleak.
"I hope to have a good harvest this year!"
