According to county records.
Along the Luoshui River, there have been legends of river gods as early as decades ago. At that time, there was no need for human sacrifices and incense was offered to relieve droughts.
Since more than ten years ago, boys and girls must be sacrificed so that the river god can cast rain.
The blood sacrifice attracted the attention of wandering casual cultivators and reported it to Dazefang City in Qingguo, where it became one of the external affairs of the Danding Sect to eliminate demons.
"When the drought comes, countless boys and girls die in the red land, but no immortal comes to take care of it. The river god eats a few, casts spells to make rain to save people, and the immortal comes to slay the demons!'
Niu Dazhu's eyes were red: "Who is the monster and who is the devil?"
Zhou Yi said coldly: "To do good is to do good, and to do evil is to do evil. They cannot be confused. If you can make rain without eating people, why do you need to sacrifice?"
"That's stupid people who don't know how to be grateful!"
Niu Dazhu ridiculed: "Originally, the River God only needed to offer incense to relieve the drought. However, the stupid people got the benefit and abandoned the River Temple. After the River God started asking for blood food as a sacrifice, the incense has been strong and endless!"
"So it's not about good or evil, it's just a transaction."
Zhou Yi said slowly: "If we can't kill the River God today, other monks will come tomorrow, and one day we will kill the rebellious monsters.
'Kill the river god and will you bring rain?'
Niu Dazhu's eyes were red and he looked like he was crazy: "I heard that immortals attach great importance to karma and retribution. If there is another drought in the future, the red land will be thousands of miles away, and those who died tragically will be killed by you!'
"I thought he was a villain, but I didn't expect him to be a fool."
Zhou Yi shrugged and said: "Senior Brother He's cultivation level is similar to that of a snake demon. Can he move clouds to spread rain and relieve droughts thousands of miles away?" "It's okay to dig a few wells, but rain spreads thousands of miles away. Maybe the ancestors of the sect can do it. .”

Senior Brother He looked up at the sky, his eyes flashing with light: "Looking at the sky, it seems that there will be rain recently, about seven or eight days later. So, Junior Brother Zhu has also figured out the snake demon's tricks to fool the people?'
"I just investigated it beforehand.
Zhou Yi was very cautious about the sect's external affairs. He didn't dare to come unless he checked thoroughly. He sighed: "If it is really the snake demon raining rain, I will not come to interfere with this matter, otherwise it will be difficult to make a decision."
Niu Dazhu understood the conversation between the two, and changed from furious to stunned, and began to question again.
'Impossible! Absolutely impossible!'
"One more thing.
Zhou Yi said: "The snake demon can't withstand the rain. It's not that difficult to disperse the original rain clouds."
Niu Dazhu fell to the ground with a pop.
"Shuang'er, dad is sorry for you.
Three days later.
Noon.
The sun is scorching like fire.
Village Pier along the river.
Two to three thousand people from surrounding villages and towns gathered here.
The skinny, dark faces looked at the makeshift altar set up on the shore, their eyes filled with despair.
Niu Dazhu, wearing a Taoist robe, danced on the altar and muttered words.
"Sacrifice!'
After the voice fell, eight men carried the offering table to the river. In addition to dried fruits and three animals, there were also two pairs of boys and girls on the table. They were cute three- or four-year-olds, wearing bright red and green coats, laughing and playing with each other.
There were parents of children among the ten people. Seeing this scene, they couldn't bear it any longer and started to cry loudly. Some tribesmen immediately dragged them down.
The mouth was gagged and the hands and feet were bound to avoid disturbing the river god and having to sacrifice again.
Niu Dazhu shouted: "Offer incense, worship again on the road!"
They knelt down for a long time and kowtowed to the sound of Niu Dazhu.
After three kowtows and nine obeisances, eight men carried the offering table to the river, shouted in unison and threw the sacrifices into the river.
The four children's laughter froze, and before they had time to cry, they were submerged into Luoshui.
"Greetings to the River God!'
"Invite the River God
The sound spread for several miles, shouting nine times in a row.
The flow of Luoshui became more and more turbulent, gurgling like boiling water, and a sound was clearly heard in everyone's ears.
"I am the God of the Luoshui River!'
It was far away and majestic, shocking the soul. A snake body several feet high emerged from the river, its eyes flashed with green light, and there were two large tumors protruding from the top of its head.
Buzz!
Eight rays of golden light rose from the water at the same time, like golden pillars. The people on the bank thought it was the palace of the river god, and they became more and more in awe of it.
"Array?"
The snake demon screamed in fright, and the huge snake body melted into water, merged into the river and disappeared.
"What an exquisite water escape, no wonder he has repeatedly escaped pursuit!"
Zhou Yi controlled the array a hundred feet away, pouring mana into it, and the eight-door golden lock array slowly shrunk.
The snake demon suddenly panicked and rushed left and right to force a breakthrough. However, the formation that could trap the fake elixir was simply not something it could shake. Senior Brother He and others held the formation flag, and golden light fell on the water. There was no snake demon figure, but the water surface was dyed blood red, with pieces of meat and scales floating on it.
Roar!
With a roar that sounded like a dragon or a snake, the snake demon reappeared, and its body that was more than ten feet long rose into the air.
"Change of formation!"
Zhouyi's voice reached the ears of his colleagues, and the eight formation flags quickly changed their positions.
In all directions, the sky and the earth are all wrapped in golden light. From the outside, it looks like a closed octagonal prism, completely isolating the snake demon from the river water.
"Now I'll trouble you brothers to subdue the demons!"
“As it should be.
Senior Brother He and the others nodded slightly. The five thousand spirit stones were not for someone to hold the formation flag. Magical weapons with shining spiritual light flew out of the storage bag.
Hiss! Hiss!
There are scars all over the body of the snake demon. No matter how hard it struggles and spits poisonous water, it cannot break through the eight-door formation and cannot avoid being surrounded by magical weapons. ,
Roar!
With another roar, the two tumors on the snake demon's head ruptured, and two rays of purple light flew out, flying towards the two fellow disciples respectively.
"careful!'
Senior Brother He's eyes narrowed slightly, knowing that this was the snake demon's method of suppressing the bottom of the box, he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of black and yellow smoke.
The yellow smoke seemed to be invisible and illusory. After wrapping the purple light, it quickly solidified into a translucent substance. Only then did he see the purple light clearly. It turned out to be a deer antler, about half a foot long.
'Dragon horns!'
Senior Brother He looked happy, opened his mouth and swallowed the yellow smoke into his belly, obviously not intending to take it out again.
Another ray of purple light was also stopped by a fellow sect member. The antlers were wrapped in a golden net bag, put into a storage bag and kept as his own.
Roar!
The snake demon let out a mournful cry, purple and green demonic auras intertwined, and the aura expanded rapidly.
"This snake demon will become a dragon, and its whole body is full of treasures. Don't let it explode!"
A golden light flew out of Senior Brother He's wrist, turned into a two or three-foot collar in the wind, and wrapped around the snake demon's neck to trap the evil spirit.
When the other disciples heard this, they showed no mercy and used secret techniques one after another.
After a while.
The snake demon's aura dissipated and fell into the formation. It twitched a few times and stopped moving.
Senior Brother He has gone through several times of extermination of demons and knows the teachings of demons. He used the soul-catching technique to pull the remnant soul of the snake demon out of the corpse, and then used thunder to blast it into ashes.
"It's done."
Zhou Yi hid in the distance to watch the battle, and saw the snake demon's spirit dispersed, flying towards him with the escaping light.
"Thank you, senior brothers. How about converting the remains of the snake demon into spiritual stones and dividing them equally?"
"Junior Brother Zhu is awesome."
Senior Brother He and others praised him repeatedly and cast a spell to peel off the remains of the snake demon.
Demon elixirs, scale armor, and skeletons can be used to refine high-grade magic weapons. There are many spiritual stones and spiritual objects in the snake demon's stomach pouch. They were made for a total of six thousand spiritual stones and sold to a fellow sect who was proficient in weapon refining.
Zhou Yi glanced at the horrified people, and he and his fellow disciples turned into escaping light and flew towards the Alchemy Cauldron Sect.
"The snake demon can stay near Luoshui for a long time and its strength has not declined. It must have discovered the spiritual land. It will happen that after a few days, I will resume my cultivation. After I find the spiritual land, I will have a way out in the future!"
