"Puff puff..."
A swallow flew over from the roof of a certain house and landed on a branch not far or near from a few people.
"Why is there a bird?"
"It looks like a swallow!"
"Where did the swallows come from in this winter?"
"Is it a monster?"
"This bird seems to have followed us all the way from Changjing during the day." Mu Yunzi said for a moment, then turned to look at the little girl, "May I ask if you know this swallow?"
"This is my swallow!"
Sanhua Empress replied crisply.
"I am An Qing Yanzi, not a demon. Don't be panicked or afraid."
The swallow on the branch also said aloud.
Several people were shocked when they heard that the swallow could talk and it was so late at night. Only Mu Yunzi was stunned for a moment and asked: "Anqing Yanzi? Is this the Yan family of Anqing Yanxian?"
"Exactly."
"It turns out he is the descendant of Yanxian."
Mu Yunzi couldn't help but open his eyes.
Anqing, the true king of rescuers, was the new god of the world who was consecrated just two years ago, and he became a god with great merits and merits that are immeasurable. Nowadays, he is well-known in various Taoist temples. After receiving the news, many Taoist priests have talked about him after dinner. It is said that this man had practiced Taoism for thousands of years before he became a god. As soon as he became a god, his popularity became more and more prosperous. Looking at his credentials for becoming a god, it is foreseeable that this man's popularity will become more and more popular in the coming years. It's incredible.
What's more important is that he is the righteous god of Tiangong.
It is the object of worship in Taoist temples.
This person is actually the descendant of the gods.
"..."
Mu Yunzi couldn't help but turned his head and looked at the little girl: "Is this little fellow Taoist actually the descendant of Yanxian?"
"certainly not."
"Sanhua Empress followed my husband to travel around the world and learn magic. I just followed him and helped him find the stream and guide him." Yanzi said, his voice timid but not disrespectful, and then looked at Sanhua Empress, "Since Sanhua Empress has now succeeded in exorcising evil spirits and conquering demons, I will go back to report to my husband that I am safe."
"You go back to report that you are safe."
"Puff puff..."
The swallow immediately flapped its wings and flew into the sky.
Everyone couldn't help but follow the silhouette of the swallow, and could see the outline of the bright moon in the sky. The clouds were also illuminated, and the swallow was only a small dot in the sky, flying farther and farther.
Sanhua Empress looked at the direction in which he was flying away, but her little brows couldn't help but frown more and more tightly.
"Little Taoist friend, now that the evil spirits have been eliminated, it all depends on the little Taoist friend's strong magic power. Pindao didn't help much, and the villagers couldn't accept the rewards from the funds raised. Pindao thought about it and decided that he should give it all to the little Taoist friend."
The voice next to her drew her attention.
And he was pulled back very roughly.
The little girl turned her head back instantly.
"real?"
"This is how it should be based on emotion and reason."
"Being more emotional than reasonable!"
"Haha." Mu Yunzi seemed to have gotten used to her speaking style, "It's just that although the evil spirits have been eliminated, it is still midnight now. I have to inform the villagers tomorrow and ask my little Taoist friend to find a room to rest for the night."
"Find a room to rest for the night..."
Empress Sanhua muttered subconsciously, her brows that had just relaxed frowned again, and she was also lost in thought.
"What's wrong?"
"No! Empress Sanhua wants to go back!"
"Go back now?"
"That's right! My Taoist priest is waiting for me at home!" Sanhua Empress said firmly, "He can't do it without me!"
"But it's the middle of the night..."
"Miss Sanhua can see it!"
"But the journey is also long..."
"Sanhua Empress can find it!"
"this……"
"You guys should find a room here to rest for the night, and we will inform the villagers tomorrow." The little girl said in a solemn tone, but what she said was similar to what Mu Yunzi said before, and then she said, "Empress Sanhua, please go back by the same route. Now, you can walk to Changjing tomorrow morning, remember to send us the money."
"this……"
Mu Yunzi turned around and looked at each other with the two captors.
"That's fine."
"Please Sanhua Empress, please be careful on the road."
"OK."
The little girl took her chicken, walked out of the village, and walked to Changjing along the road she had memorized when she came.
The moonlight is really bright tonight, reflecting the sky. Whether it is the hillside in front, the mountain village behind, or the mountain road with lush vegetation on both sides, it is so clear under the moonlight. Although the girl is small, she has no fear at all when walking alone at night. Step by step, he walked farther and farther.
Just walking, she suddenly stopped.
He turned his head and looked at the mountain over there.
He frowned, not knowing what to think.
I was really curious, like a cat scratching my head.
…
On the mountain in the distance is the opposite side of Peach Blossom Village.
Zhou Lei Gong stood out of thin air, with a divine light all over his body. He lowered his head and looked coldly at the Taoist priest below: "Why are the descendants of Fulong Temple sneaking around here?"
"Master Lei of Zhou." The Taoist looked up at the sky, "Congratulations to Mr. Lei for being promoted to the chief officer of the Lei Department."
"Thanks to you."
"That's true."
"You are not humble."
"Why don't you come down and talk, Mr. Lei? Standing in the sky is too conspicuous."
"What? Are you afraid that someone will see you here?"
"well……"
Song You sighed, a little helpless, and had no choice but to raise his hands to the sky: "To be honest, my cat accepted the reward from the county government today and came to this mountain to eliminate demons alone. Thunder God may not know that my cat is independent and strong-tempered, so I had to …”
"interesting."
Zhou Lei Gong showed a sarcastic smile, and his figure flashed. Although he did not land, he appeared further away from the top of the mountain and lowered some heights - Taohua Village was originally on the other side. In this way, the people at the bottom of the mountain It is certain that he cannot be seen.
"I said that I would like to invite Mr. Thunder here, but I really have something to ask for."
"explain!"
"Before, when I was walking in the north, I saw a demon interfering in the human war and helping the people of Saibei, so I took action to subdue the demon. In the last battle, the demon of Saibei used the right time and place to gather a huge flood. The demon relied on a knife to control the water. It's called the water-splitting knife." Song You said to him, "After I got rid of the demons, I got this knife. I saw that its style was not like the common dagger style in the north of Saibei. Instead, it had the charm of the Central Plains. I was confused and wanted to ask Lei Gong for help. Check.”
When Zhou Lei Gong heard the first half of the sentence, he thought he was going to hold the gods accountable again. He was slightly relieved when he heard the middle part, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, he frowned again.
"Water diverter?"
"That's what they all call it."
"Do you suspect it comes from Dayan?"
"Not only that, this water-dividing knife is very important. If the time and place are favorable, it can gather lakes and create waves, with infinite power. As you can see below, ordinary magic weapons may not be able to do this."
"Do you suspect it's a divine artifact?"
"Exactly."
"..."
Zhou Lei Gong's eyes flickered, and then he said: "Many years ago, some river gods and water gods in the Central Plains did incorporate their divine power into objects. At that time, mortal emperors also liked to do this to represent themselves. I seem to have heard of a story A river god who chose a dagger as a sacred weapon of divine power."
"I wonder which one it is?"
"That happened at least a thousand years ago. I only heard it mentioned by others and can't remember it clearly. Besides, this matter is of great importance. I have to go back and find out carefully."
"rational."
The matter is obviously of great importance.
It is wrong for gods to interfere in human wars, and it is wrong for the people of Dayan to collaborate with the enemy and treason. But if the water-splitting knife is really a god from Dayan, it is a god who attracts the incense of Dayan to help foreign enemies and help the people of Saibei to massacre Dayan's soldiers. The people are even more intolerable. And the reasons behind this are more worthy of investigation.
Therefore Zhou Lei Gong was also very solemn.
"I wonder where the water-dividing knife is?"
"I gave it to my cat, and now it's on my cat."
"you mean……"
"It's an inconvenience today."
"Are all the people in Fulongguan like you?"
"Everyone has their own faults."
"But I have to get the water knife and confirm whether it comes from the gods of the Central Plains, right?"
"Lei Gong can come to Liushu Street in the west city of Changjing to pick it up in a few days."
"..."
Zhou Leigong's face was expressionless, but he turned his head to the side.
The Taoist followed his gaze and looked over.
I saw a small figure on the top of the mountain next to me. The bright moonlight showed her appearance. She was small, wearing three-color clothes, with a dagger slung across her body, holding an old hen, and her face was almost No expression could be seen, and he was staring straight at the Taoist below.
"..."
The Taoist's expression remained calm: "Is Sanhua Empress here? I was just going to find Sanhua Empress."
"..."
The little girl didn't speak, she just walked over.
He walked silently to the Taoist, shook the old hen that was about to slide down, silently took out his hand, put his hand into the cassock, took out a dagger, and handed it to the Taoist.
"Empress Sanhua heard it." Song You took the knife, "Thank you, Empress Sanhua."
"..."
The little girl still didn't speak and just nodded.
The little face is fair and tender, but it has a serious expression.
The Taoist threw the water-dividing knife into the sky.
"boom!"
"Zi..."
A bolt of lightning struck out, but it condensed but did not disperse. It hit the dagger, causing it to stop in the air, and then flew into Zhou Lei Gong's hand.
Zhou Lei Gong looked down and frowned.
In fact, he didn't know much about Saibei, and couldn't tell the difference between the common styles in Saibei and the charm of Dayan. It was just that he was a god. As soon as he got it, he knew that it was indeed not a magic weapon, and the water control ability contained in it was indeed true. Reality comes from divine authority. It's a pity that this ritual vessel has been a tradition many years ago, and the gods must have changed it long ago. If it were a creation of the current gods, he would be able to know which water system and which god it came from just by touching it.
Then he lowered his head again and looked at Song You:
"What do you want to find out?"
"I'm just curious about its origins and how it got into the hands of the Saibei demon."
"All I can say is to take it back and check it out, but the god has probably died, and it's not possible to find the original owner." Zhou Lei Gong said, "I'll take it back to you after checking it out."
"Thank you Lord Lei."
"Since it's my god's business, it should be investigated, so why do you need to thank me?"
"Thunder Lord, walk slowly."
"go……"
Zhou Lei Gong was only halfway through his sentence when he suddenly stopped, lowered his head, looked at the Taoist, looked left and right, and squinted his eyes:
"Where's my fragrance?"
"Lei Gong is forgetful." Song You saluted him, "The one who invited Lei Gong this time was the old Taoist master from Qingxiao Temple in Donghe County at the foot of the mountain, not me. What's more, the Taoist who invited Lei Gong was also What I didn't think of before coming here is that meeting Lei Gong here is purely coincidental. How could I know in advance and prepare incense candles for Lei Gong?"
"..."
It makes sense.
Zhou Lei Gong nodded calmly:
"next time."
"Boom!"
A bolt of lightning struck down, illuminating the night sky. At that moment, the light of lightning filled the eyes, and nothing could be seen except this light. When the sight returned, Zhou Lei Gong's figure had long disappeared in the sky.
"Ha ha……"
The Taoist laughed dryly, turned to look at the little girl next to him, stretched out his hand to rub the top of her forehead, then put his hand on her back, led her forward, and asked as he walked:
"Where did Sanhua Empress get a chicken?"
"In exchange for rats."
The little girl answered honestly while following him.
It was a rare moonlit night. The moonlight illuminated everything, and the world was filled with silver light. On the mountain path, the Taoist put his hand on the little girl's shoulder and led her down the mountain. She seemed lonely, but she was not.
