Artifact

The road was lined with thousands of guards with swords in hand, keeping the tidal pilgrims ten paces away, and all sorts of exclamations emanated from the mouths of the people

The male god is dignified and wise, and the goddess is as beautiful as a fairy!".

"Ahhh

"Hey, aren't there only two protectors, and who is the little girl following behind?".

"I heard that it was a maid accepted by the protector god. Alas, if only my daughter had this blessing!".

"Even if it's a maid, it's too beautiful! At a young age, she will fall into the country and the city, and when she grows up, she won't be fascinated to death!"

The crowd chattered

and gossiped as they watched the group board the official ship.

The person in charge of the official ship was a petty officer of the fifth class, and he arranged the group in the best and most comfortable cabin on the top floor, and specially instructed:

"The two protectors, when the merchants and passengers have boarded the ship, the next official will start the ship immediately. The scenery along the Lechuan River is beautiful, and the two of you can enjoy it here, but when you pass by the waterless beach, you must stay in the room, otherwise if something goes wrong, the whole family of Xia Guan will not be able to afford to lose 10,000 heads!".

Night Thirteen asked, "Is there something wrong with the waterless beach?"

The petty official knelt on the ground and didn't dare to raise his head: "It's just that there is no real evidence in hearsay, and the lower officials don't dare to say anything!"

"It's okay, you say it!".

"After about half a day's trip, you will enter the waterless beach, where it is said that there are often water monsters here, and nearby fishermen are often wrecked by boats. The official ship is huge, and the water monsters can't help it, so they often roll up big waves and knock down the people on the deck. Therefore, just in case, please refrain from going on deck. "

"Is that really such a thing?".

"Xia Guan also heard from the merchants and boatmen, but there are many tides in the reefs of the waterless beach, so if someone falls into the water, it is impossible to stop the boat to save people. "

Yi Qing said on the side: "In that case, wouldn't it be possible to prevent the tragedy by forbidding everyone to board the deck before entering the waterless beach?"

The junior official's body trembled: "This ...... This is also said in the ancient law, if someone falls into the water, the safety of the official ship can be guaranteed. So it's been a ...... for a long time

."

I see, Night Thirteen and Yi Qing immediately understood that this was the so-called living sacrifice, a kind of contract with unknown forces in the era of ignorance, and if you want to break this rule, you must either expect scientific and technological progress, or there will be more powerful forces to break the status quo.

There

was a light knock on the door three times, and there was a humane:

"My lord, the merchant has boarded the ship and is ready to set sail!"

The little official was trembling with fright by the silent atmosphere in the room, this sentence was like a life-saving magic weapon, and he kowtowed a few times at the moment:

"Two adults, please rest here, and the next official will retire!"

Like a maggot, with his butt facing outward, he crawled backwards and closed the door.

Yi Qing said: "You don't really want to fight that water monster, do you?"

Night Thirteen replied: "As I said in the inn, it depends on whether the water monster hits the muzzle of the gun." "

"Don't forget, this is on the river, and you and I don't have any ability to be in the water. "

Yi Qing's words are good, Night Thirteen's eighteen thousand phase attack range is only about five zhang, which translates to a killing range of fifteen meters, and although Yi Qing's green pupil can attack from a distance, he found that the penetration of the pupil technique against the liquid is very limited when he fought with the puppet under Yan Yun's hand, so it is not the first choice for water warfare.

"I can only take one step at a time, to be honest, if we hadn't entered this Qingying Refining Formation Formation inexplicably, we would never have had the opportunity to see any water monsters in this life!"

Yi Qing snorted, don't look over: "You can still laugh at it!, in my opinion, if we really run into a fight, the only benefit is that we can accumulate some experience in water battles, don't forget that the next stop is Wang Yang of the East China Sea!".

As the two of them talked, their feet shook slightly, and the boat left the dock and sailed towards the center of the river.

Not long after the boat sailed, Yin'er came in from outside the door, sweating, and when she saw Ye Thirteen and Yi Qing, her expression was slightly panicked.

Yi Qing smiled: "Yin'er, have you hidden him well?".

This he, of course, refers to the "little brother" that Yin'er knows.

"Hide it......" Yin'er blurted out, she immediately realized that she had missed her mouth, and shook her head again and again: "No, no, Ian, Yin'er didn't intend to deceive the two adults...... Just ......".

"Well, I know, he doesn't have the money to buy a ticket, right? Just tell me about this little thing, the only thing we don't lack here is money. "

Night Thirteen listened and smiled

Yi Qing is telling the truth, in the outside world, both of them have to run around for a living, begging for a bite to eat.

Since coming to the Yan Kingdom in the Qing Ying Refining Array, the two of them have inexplicably become the protector gods, and the golden tickets sent by the Scarlet Moon will not be spent in a few lifetimes - sometimes think about it, life is still really ironic, the more you want something, the more you can't get it, and when you ignore it, it will be automatically sent to the door.

Yin'er saw Ye Thirteen happy, and didn't know what he was laughing at, and blushed habitually, and then the three of them sat in the most exclusive room of the official ship, enjoying the surrounding river scenery and tasting delicious food, while listening to Yin'er tell how she and her little brother met.

It turned out that the two families were world friends, and they traveled together all the way to help each other on the way to escape, but unfortunately they went the wrong way, and after returning the same way, they happened to meet the evil demon and killed them, and the two families were separated in the chaos.

Fortunately, the two parents had made a mutual agreement that if they got lost, they would continue to travel east until they arrived in Xizhou.

It's just that there are many tribulations in the world, Yin'er was alone when she arrived at the dock, and the little brother was also ruined by his family.

In troubled times, the short life of the general public is almost bleaker and more fragile than candlelight, and the slightest external force will turn into a wisp of green smoke.

As the feet began to shake slightly, gradually intensifying, someone knocked lightly three times outside the door, it turned out to be the junior officer of the official ship:

"The two protectors, this ship has entered the waterless beach, and there is a slight bump, please don't worry about ......."

Before he could finish his sentence, he heard the voice of the boatman in the porch: "My lord, there is a boy on the deck who is making trouble......! A few of us can't cure him!".

The petty official immediately scolded: "Shut up! Disturb the rest of the two adults, you can't afford it! I'll come now!"

As the footsteps faded away, Yin'er was visibly anxious.

"Uncle Night, Ian, Yin'er wants to go to the deck to have a look, in case my little brother does something stupid......".

Night Thirteen stood up: "Let's go, let's go and have a look." "

Yin'er said in a panic: "Uncle Night, Yin'er has caused you trouble......

."

Yi Qing took her hand: "If it weren't for your little brother having the courage to fight against the water monster, Night Thirteen would definitely not be so kind to make a move! "

Yin'er didn't seem to understand, and in a trance, she followed Night Thirteen and Yi Qing to the deck.

At this time, the celestial phenomenon has changed, and the weather, which was originally still clear, was suddenly covered with dark clouds after entering the waterless beach, and the river was foggy, and the tide was wave after wave, getting higher and higher, and gradually fierce.

Despite the bad weather, there were still many merchants on the deck watching the excitement, and several boatmen surrounded a young man, and the young man held a strange, elongated weapon in his hand.

The weapon had a sharp, long, sharp tip that was tied to a wooden stick with a strange gelatinous substance, and in the middle of the stick there was a large protrusion and dozens of small square things, all of which were also firmly bound by the asphalt and became part of the weapon.

The

petty officer was directing the boatman to deal with the young man, as if he was about to take the weapon from his hand, and the young man, with a weapon in one hand and a short knife in the other, confronted these men and shouted:

"Don't come here, I'm going to fight this salamander king to the death today!"

Yi Qing looked at it intently, and then grabbed Ye Thirteen: "You must save this child!".

Night Thirteen was puzzled: "Why?".

"He may be the key to restoring the order of civilization in the Yan Kingdom!".
