After hearing and seeing, Wei Yingdian opened his mouth, his expression somewhat gloomy.
In his opinion, Xunjiang Water God's methods of confusing black and white and turning clouds and rain are actually not surprising. They are even too simple and crude, and not precise enough. It is not difficult for any experienced official to do it, and he can even do it. Better.
The only thing is that this River God seems to be polite and tolerant, ceding many interests and promising many benefits, but in fact he is extremely arrogant!
Just because He was aboveboard and did not shy away from others when making these arrangements, the real purpose was not to deceive others, but to express a respectful attitude in front of the king, and at the same time, it was also a blow to both sides. No matter how extraordinary a person is, he should know which territory he belongs to when he arrives in Xunjiang.
In the final analysis, it means having no fear. The earth, mountains and rivers are wild and difficult to tame, and the humanistic principles of Shengjiang are not deeply rooted. Not everyone can be the mountain lord and water lord. If it were a human marquis who acted like this, for example, Yun Xiang, the head of the Jiao family in Chaozhou Hou, if you dare to so blatantly win over the undercover officials of counties and counties, bribe inspection officials, and thus dominate the local area, you will probably end up dead immediately.
Thinking of this, Wei Yingdian felt depressed and couldn't help but cast his eyes on Qi Jingzhi: "Wei naturally followed Qi Jingzhi's lead."
Qi Jingzhi pondered for a moment and then nodded and smiled. Since the goal has been achieved, the slight feeling of frustration is not worth mentioning.
He immediately clasped his fists and saluted the Xunjiang Water God for the third time, and said solemnly: "Qi is a passer-by on the Xunjiang River after all. The life and death of the people on both sides of the strait depend on Xunhou's thoughts. The Wanwang God is compassionate to the weak and generous. If you show mercy, not only will the two of you remember it deeply, but the people of the whole river will also admire your saintly virtues and offer incense to you forever!"
Seeing that neither Qi Jingzhi nor Wei Yingdian had any objections, the Xunjiang Water God nodded towards them, turned around and rushed into the river.
After a while, the surface of the Xunjiang River suddenly boiled. Many aquatic creatures with long thin horns, some with dragon scales, or some with a faint black gas coming out of their mouths broke out of the water one after another. They were densely covered on the surface of the river, roaring like beasts, but they didn't reach it. As they fled, countless long yellow-black whiskers rushed out from the water, tied up the aquatic tribe one by one, and then dragged them all back to the bottom of the river.
Seeing such a spectacular and strange sight, Qi Jingzhi couldn't help but sigh inwardly, knowing that this was the true method of the third level god lord! This river god raised by Xunjiang is in the river and is invincible unless someone with great supernatural powers who cannot imagine his power takes action.
Compared with this river god who unscrupulously invoked the water spirit of Xunjiang River, Zhu Yihou was extremely restrained and elegant when he fought with Deng Fuqing.
Thinking of this, Qi Jingzhi couldn't help but turned to look at Wei Yingdian, smiled and asked in a low voice: "Brother Wei, you and I don't know exactly what is going on in Gouchen Courtyard, how could you dare to make such nonsense before? What if the Lord of the Xunjiang River cannot be concealed or frightened, and he is beaten to death by a wave on the river beach after being discovered, who can you and I go to reason with?"
"Ha! The wild man is angry at the injustice and wears out the eternal knife in his chest!"
Wei Yingdian laughed loudly and said indifferently: "When Brother Dao drew his sword in anger today, when he knew that he had caused trouble but took the initiative to stay, didn't he think that he would be slapped to death by Jiang Shen? Of course you thought about it, but it was just a matter of time. When the time comes, you have to do it! Brother Dao is like this, and Wei is the same. I said I will share the burden with you, how can I break my promise at a critical moment?"
When Qi Jingzhi heard this, he couldn't help but be touched by his pride, and he also laughed: "I have been sharpening my knife in the mountains for several years. I have been used to seeing wind, rain and snow, and hearing too many howls of wolves and apes. The more I sharpen my knife, the sharper it becomes. It will only become more prosperous, so how can it be said to be worn out?"
After saying that, something moved in his mind again, and he thought to himself: "The Eternal Knife... This artistic conception is completely opposite to the inscription on the Jianren Shou Knife. Life is short, how can I keep it from being sharpened forever?"
When Wei Yingdian heard the young man's words about sharpening his knife, he was startled for a moment, then he clapped his hands and exclaimed: "That's it! Brother Dao is not very old, but few people can match his high spirit. Hey! This is exactly what he was born with, a domineering and heroic spirit, honed into his chest. Eternal Sword!"
This doctor of the Ministry of Rites, who resigns when he says he wants to, and reinstates when he wants to, really has some literary talents when he praises people. The two poems he wrote in the following two poems are both expressive, straightforward and simple, but also a bit wild and unrestrained. Pride.
Wei Yingdian himself seemed to have been carried away for a moment, and he was already suspected of being a flatterer.
He coughed and changed the topic: "Brother Dao, don't worry. When Xunyang County reported the construction of the Jiang Shen Temple a few years ago, although the matter was not under my control, because it concerned Sangzi, I paid special attention to it. I even paid some attention to it. Check out this Jiang Shen’s resume.”
"When His spiritual body was fully gestated and he killed the previous River God in one fell swoop and was granted the title of God, it was only sixty-three years ago. He still had a hundred years of life at least. Hey, it was just as He said, when He was still young , The days of ascending to the gods are short!"
"The Gouchen Courtyard was a yamen that existed hundreds of years ago. Now it has been forgotten. Even I have never heard of it in the Ministry of Rites for many years. How could he know anything about it? Besides, what I just said was completely meaningless. If you lie, how can you call it concealment or bluffing?"
Qi Jingzhi couldn't help but look surprised: "Kill the previous River God? Can the River God who was granted the title of King of the Kingdom be killed at will? Even if he kills him, can he win the title of God?"
Wei Yingdian immediately shook his head: "In the future, the old county governor will become the lake god, but he will just change his position as an official. Naturally, he cannot be killed by others. But gods such as the Xunjiang Water God, if they are creatures bred by the Xunjiang River itself, If you kill him, it will be regarded as a bloodline change within the feudal kingdom."
"Speaking of the fundamentals, it is not him whom the king sealed with a golden book, but the Xunjiang River in front of us. If one day that golden-eyed water bug becomes a thing and uses its own ability to devour the king and seize the throne, it will naturally be like this Yijiang Qiyun believes in orthodoxy."
When Qi Jingzhi heard the words, he nodded and said, "No wonder Brother Wei just said that the evil spirit may shake the divine power if it becomes a climate. They are all the heirs conceived by Xunjiang, so they are naturally qualified to divide the family property. As the so-called initiator, Does it have no consequences? It’s no wonder that the River God hates the golden-eyed water bug so much and is ready to let it die at the hands of the so-called evil spirit."
"Brother Wei, could it be that the humanistic principles of Shengjiang that you just mentioned are rooted in the emperor's edict to Xunjiang?"
This time Wei Yingdian did not answer immediately, but thought for a while before saying: "Wei has a low official position, and he only has a partial understanding of many things. In my opinion, the golden book seal is a means to build embankments, open up lakes, and change the topography of water veins. Likewise, we, the people of Qi, canoed on the river, carried goods and fished, diverted water to farm along the river, and built wharfs and towns, so that the whole Xunjiang River could change its shape according to the will of our race. Over time, humanity will prosper, and the sages and the Dharma will be at home in it."
"Brother Dao, just think about it. Hundreds of years ago, the person in power in this river must have been the dragon that was killed. But now this river god, who was also conceived by the Xun River, is already half a human! Even if Ignoring his appearance, his words and deeds are almost the same as those of powerful people from aristocratic families. Perhaps in a few hundred years, the position of the Xunjiang Water God will truly be determined by the king!"
Qi Jingzhi couldn't help but nod again. The previous kings established the foundation, and the ninth generation opened up. Over the past two thousand years, the sea has changed, metabolism has been renewed, and countless people have lived and multiplied and worked diligently. Although it is not truly perfect now, it has finally changed the world!
