Chapter 143 Rumors About the South China Sea
After entering Nanhai City, Lu Heng and Xiao Ai went to the post in front of the Fire Temple to register.
When he left Fushan City before, Wu Ji gave him a pass token that would allow Lu Heng to travel unimpeded in Huotong.
Huo Feng, on the other hand, carried the head of the water beast that was killed by Xiao Ai and went to the Fire Temple to collect the bounty.
This Nanhai City is bustling and lively, and the post station occupies a very large area. After Lu Heng took out the pass token given by the Fushan City Witch Festival, he was led to a secluded private courtyard and enjoyed the treatment of a distinguished guest.
As for Wu Zhu in Nanhai City, Lu Heng had no intention of paying a visit.
After Huo Feng collects the bounty, he will go to the port to find a ship out to sea, go to sea as soon as possible, and rush to participate in the South China Sea Shark Kingdom's Curiosities Convention.
It's now past the beginning of winter, and the Sharman Country's Treasure Conference is about to be held. Lu Heng and the others didn't want to delay any more.
As for the bustling bustle of Nanhai City, we can only appreciate it slowly when we return.
But collecting the reward went smoothly. After Huo Feng carried the evil beast's head into the Fire Temple, he quickly got the bounty from the evil beast.
But when Huo Feng came back, he brought some bad news.
"Lord Wolf God!"
As soon as he stepped into the small courtyard arranged by the post office, Huo Feng said excitedly, "I have already contacted the ship to go to sea, and we will be able to go to sea tomorrow morning. It's just..."
"Just?" Lu Heng, who was teaching Xiao Ai the water control technique, raised his head in surprise and asked, "Just what?"
Huo Feng sighed and said, "There has been trouble in the South China Sea recently, and the boatmen are reluctant to go to sea. So I can only half rent and half buy an empty ship, and I will take the helm."
Huo Feng's story made Lu Heng a little surprised, "You can even drive a sea ship?"
Huo Feng smiled and scratched his head and said, "I know a little bit... I know a little bit..."
Lu Heng shook his head and didn't bother to complain about this Yunmen disciple's multiple abilities.
He asked, "Then what is the so-called turmoil? Aren't there many ships and caravans going to sea in Nanhai City? Why does no one dare to go to sea now?"
Huo Feng explained, "It's not that no one dares to go to sea. The large caravans and ships are basically unaffected and their schedules remain as usual. It's just that the idle small households have no monks to protect them and are unwilling to go to sea, so they can't hire anyone."
Huo Feng said: "As for the reason why the idle seamen are unwilling to go to sea, it is related to the rumored [Erba Godman] in the South China Sea."
"Oh? The Erba Divine Man?" Lu Heng was a little interested, "The Erba Divine Man... Why do they harm the gods? Why can they scare the idle seamen from going to sea?"
Huo Feng has long been used to Lu Heng's "ignorance" about all kinds of rumors in the world.
Now seeing that Lu Heng did not recognize the legendary [Erba Divine Man], Huo Feng was relieved. He said in his heart that he didn't even know the Wolf God, so he must not be a powerful being from ancient times.
He smiled and said, "This Erba Divine Man is a rumor outside the South China Sea."
"I don't know since when, it has been rumored that there is a supernatural being in the South China Sea, named Erba Divine Man. His cultivation is extremely high and his magical powers are tyrannical. He is proud of the South China Sea."
"But there are various versions of its specific image."
"There are rumors that the Erba God is an accomplished demon cultivator from the sea tribe. He has sixteen arms and sixteen eyes. He can stir up clouds, fog, and wind. He is a water god in the sea."
"There are also rumors that the twenty-eight gods are sixteen brothers and sisters, each of whom is gifted with magical powers. If there is danger, the sixteen brothers and sisters will hold hands and defend themselves against the enemy at the same time. They have the terrifying power of exorcising evil spirits and suppressing demons. ”
Huo Feng told several different rumors in one go, but all the rumors had one thing in common.
——That is, these two or eight gods have extraordinary powers and are powerful and difficult to defeat. Wherever they go, there will be monsters and evil things causing chaos.
I don't know if the appearance of these two or eight gods will cause evil things to cause trouble. Or is it the work of evil things that will make Erba the God-man appear in the world...
Many idle fishermen in Nanhai City are unwilling to go too far to the sea because of the legend of the Erba God and the fact that evil things are causing trouble and water monsters are raging overseas.
Such chaos may not be serious for those large caravans escorted by monks.
But for ordinary idle sea dwellers, once they go out to sea, bumping into an evil creature will be a disaster, so they are reluctant to go out to sea.
After listening to Huo Feng's explanation, Lu Heng understood the situation.
"So there are evil spirits causing chaos and water monsters raging in the South China Sea now?" Lu Heng asked.
Huo Feng nodded, and then said with a smile, "But those water monsters that are causing chaos and raging are not overbearing, so there is no need to worry too much. As long as you don't run into the legendary Erba God-man, there will be no danger in this trip."
"Of course, even if you bump into the rumored Erba God, that guy will run away in front of the Wolf God."
Huo Feng said with a smile, full of confidence.
In the Falling Dragon Mountain, he witnessed Lu Heng discussing Taoism with the legendary Zhulong. In Huo Feng's heart, the Wolf God was already the top being in the world.
When the Wolf God was about to draw his sword, even the legendary candle dragon was frightened and retreated for several miles. With such power, who else in this world can do it?
Even if someone told Huo Feng at this time that the Wolf God was an invincible existence even among the ancient powers, Huo Feng would not be surprised, but would nod his head to express that it was indeed the case.
Huo Feng was full of confidence, but Lu Heng looked at him funny, shook his head and said, "Brother Huo is very confident in Lu... ha..."
"But no matter what, although there are many rumors about the Erba God, there is no theory that he is murderous and cruel. Although it seems weird, it is not a real evil thing."
"Even if we run into them, we don't have to worry too much. Just reason with them."
"There is nothing in this world that can't be reasoned with," Lu Heng said with a smile.
Huo Feng also nodded repeatedly to show his agreement.
"That's right, there is nothing in this world that can't be reasoned with."
Who dares not to reason with the Wolf God!
Haven't you seen that the Red Lady in the Qingming Cave and the Qingzhu Lady in Fushan City, these two powerful demons who wreaked havoc on the land and had a bad reputation, all turned humiliated in front of the Wolf God?
If the so-called Erba Godman runs into the Wolf God, it's okay if it's not a real demon. If it's really a demon who doesn't know how to live or die, it's possible that the Wolf God will enforce justice on behalf of the heavens and make this world have one less demon.
In this way, with strong self-confidence, Huo Feng slept in the post house for a night, and then set off the next morning, taking Lu Heng and Xiao Ai to the port.
The pony horse that didn't want to take the boat struggled hard and wanted to stay on the shore to wait for Huo Feng to come back, but was still dragged away by Huo Feng.
There was a lot of luggage on this trip.
When we arrived at the Mermaid Country, we had to walk ashore.
Without a horse, Huo Feng didn't know how long it would take to move all that luggage by himself, so how could he let this coolie go?
