We did not rush to the Tianhe Mountain Villa in Luliang, Shanxi, but stayed in the hotel for one night. After all, we discovered that the Fenhe River was not peaceful again, and we also asked the fishermen living near the Fenhe River.
The fishermen told us that several people drowned in this section of the Fen River every year. They also told us that a man who had narrowly escaped death told us that a huge water snake lived under the river and often preyed on tourists.
I also paid special attention to it and asked how big the water snake was. The fishermen only said that it was very big. They had salvaged this water snake in a boat. However, there is no trace of it in Fenhe River...
There are so many clues at the moment. It’s hard to say whether this snake is a demon or not. I just know that this big water snake has harmed many people.
A group of five of us came to the river bank. Looking at the rapid river, my heart was churning. I asked Xu Chengcheng again: "Second Senior Brother, can your water attribute method affect this river? If so, we can Force the monsters in the water to come out. Then, kill this scourge."
Li Huhu answered for him, "Yangsheng, Taoism can only affect the attributes in a small area and cannot control the water flow. If you really want to get the big snake in the water. I don't think we can do it. We should go to Tianhe Mountain Fort to find Brother Yamamoto first." right."
"I have my own sense of discretion regarding Yamamoto Jun and the enemy demons. The reason why I want to stay is to deal with the demons in the Fen River first. It makes sense. Just listen to me."
After I finished speaking, Su Kuangfeng stood up and said to me: "Yang Sheng is right, it is our Taoist family's duty to eliminate demons and defend the Tao. Now, we see the harmful demons in Fenhe River, we cannot sit idly by and do nothing, we must get rid of them." Then quickly."
Geng Biaobiao deliberately coughed twice and said: "Ahem, let me add that when we are chasing Yamamoto Jun and the enemy demons, we have another task, which is to collect the fragments of Yinling Pill. The more Yinling Pills are collected, the more , then the temptation for the enemy will be greater. Besides, Yamamoto Shun may not be in that villa. Because the person who wrote the letter is his brother Yamamoto Tsuyoshi, maybe it is another trap set for us. The enemy The devil is so cunning, I want to slowly collect the Yin Ling Dan, and sooner or later the enemy devil will take the initiative to come to my door."
Xu Chengcheng also spoke, "Well, the fifth junior brother said the same thing. We were too passive before. We were led by the enemy. Although we are all eager to get rid of it, we must understand the actual situation clearly. . Now we have to firstly hunt down Yamamoto Shun and the enemy demons, and secondly, collect fragments of the Yinling Pill along the way. The Yinling Pill is the best bait for evil spirits."
Seeing that the other four of us had surprisingly unanimous opinions, Li Huhu stopped expressing different opinions and just said angrily, "Well, the minority obeys the majority. I listen to you."
"Senior Brother Xuansheng, I understand your thoughts very well. You have the experience of chasing down enemies, so you are especially keen on getting information about them as early as possible and then eradicating them." I said.
"Yeah, Yang Sheng knows me best. But now, we don't have the slightest clue about the water monsters in Fenhe River." Li Huhu expressed his doubts, then squatted aside and lit a cigarette. He smoked silently.
At this moment, Geng Biaobiao suddenly pointed to the distance and said loudly: "Brothers, look, there is something moving at the other end of Fenhe River."
We followed the direction of his finger and saw a small shrine in the middle of the river.
"Have you seen the shrine in the middle of the river?" Xu Chengcheng asked.
"I saw it. Someone must be worshiping the river god. Is this the river god who is causing harm to people?" Li Huhu asked with suspicion.
"Let's go to the river bank over there first and ask the nearby fishermen to find out." Su Fengfeng made a good suggestion.
We all got in the car and drove to the village closest to Kachinaka Shrine.
As soon as we got out of the car, we saw a mess. The river bank at the edge of the village was washed away in a mess, and the strong willow trees on the bank were also knocked upside down. If the water had been stronger, many people would have been swept down.
The villagers in the villages that were damaged by the water are working hard to repair the villages. Their faces are full of sadness, and it seems that they have been persecuted by the river water.
Not far away, a group of villagers were carrying sedans and walking towards the river. All of them had solemn expressions.
I specifically asked a villager, "Old man, what's going on? Since it's a wedding reception, why are you all crying?"
"Young man, you don't know yet! That's the sedan chair used to deliver sacrifices, because this year's floods have been so severe. We often throw animals into the river. I wonder who is sending them this time?"
Su Fengfeng found it incredible that it was already the 21st century and there was still such a feudal and backward place, so he asked: "The violent river water is a natural disaster. Why do we need to throw sacrifices into the river?"
"Hey, isn't this peaceful? Our village chief has no choice but to send sacrifices to the river god in order to protect the village. Every time, the village chief integrates the power of the whole village and sends the whole fan of pigs, cattle and sheep to Delivery in the river is a matter of course.”
I asked again: "What about your village chief?"
The villager pointed to the mustachioed man who was leading the sedan chair and said, "That's our village chief, Mamuri."
I walked straight up and stopped them, and said loudly: "You shouldn't give the animals you bought with so much hard work to the so-called river god. The river god you offered to the river god is actually just a monster with some abilities." .”
At this time, the people who were delivering the sacrifices were all panicked. I looked at their expressions and smiled helplessly, "If you ask me, the river god you worship may have increased its strength because of the fragments of the Yin Ling Dan. Some kind of spirit! Before, the floods here were definitely not serious, but they have become more and more severe in recent years. You guys, don’t be fooled by monsters who are not river gods."
Seeing me being so rude, the village chief Mamouri asked: "Who are you? Why are you here? No matter who you are, let me tell you! Our village has always had the habit of worshiping the river god. We, the whole village, depend on the Fen River for our livelihood. It is because of our worship that we catch more fish. Although, the river god’s temper has become a bit fierce recently. However, for the sake of our integrity as a whole village in worship, , the river god only attacks people outside the village. Our village has been blessed by the river god."
Geng Biaobiao walked up and angrily shouted: "You stinky old man, what do you know? My senior brother said that the river god you worship is a monster, so he must be right."
Su Fengfeng also came over and said: "We are not strange people, let me tell you the truth. We are Taoists, all Taoist Feng Shui Yin Yang masters, and we are very good at exorcising evil spirits through Feng Shui. We are because I came here to investigate for some reason, and we are all kind-hearted Feng Shui masters who like to help others."
Xu Chengcheng came over immediately and said: "We have heard about the Fenhe River incident. If you were worshiping the true god, then the god would not be so willful. If you don't mind, leave this false god to us. Defeat it.”
At this time, a dark-skinned villager stood up and said, "You said you are Feng Shui Onmyoji, so show us your hands."
"What's the problem? It's up to me." After Li Huhu finished speaking, he formed a seal with his hands and used his fire technique, which made all these ignorant villagers gain knowledge.
"Villagers, please let me use the compass to show you the Feng Shui." After I finished speaking, I was about to take out the compass and show the Feng Shui of the place, when I was interrupted by the village chief.
"No need. Don't fool us. You are just mortals. How can you fight against the River God?"
Another tall villager stood up and said: "Village Chief, I think these people have two skills. Otherwise, let them give it a try. Maybe they can really give us the things that harm and bully us... "
"Huh, don't talk to any of you. Instead of entrusting us to strangers we don't trust. It's better to worship the river god. If they really succeed, it's fine. If they don't succeed and anger the river god, our village will But we are really going to suffer." Before the villager could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the village chief.
Then, he added: "The River God has a bad temper. If the River God is really offended because of them, maybe our village will cease to exist. The River God can destroy our village with just a wave of his hand." , it’s not that you don’t know how powerful it is!”
I laughed, pointed at this guy named Ma Muri and said: "Humph, you would rather believe in the monsters who bully and oppress you than believe in us Taoist disciples who help you. In the end, you don't dare to try, so this is Just like cowards who are used to being bullied by evil forces, you dare not resist. But the more you dare not resist, the evil monsters who bully you will get worse and worse. You keep saying that you are afraid of the revenge of the river god, so why don't you Do you dare to resist boldly? You are just using the safety of the village as an excuse."
"I won't tell you, but before the sun goes down, I must take everyone to deliver the tributes to the river and deliver them into the river. Okay, okay, you are on your way! Stranger, I thank you for your service to us For the sake of the villagers, I can't take risks!" Mamuri remained stubborn and insisted on doing what he said.
Watching their retreating figures, Li Huhu said helplessly: "That man with the mustache is so pedantic. He obviously worshiped monsters, but he said he was some kind of river god."
I said: "He is obviously pushing the responsibility outward. Su Zhe wrote "The Theory of Six Kingdoms". People think that serving Qin with the land is like putting out firewood. The fire will not be extinguished until the firewood is exhausted. This village chief wants to bring down the whole village. Feed it to the monsters in the river, and you won’t stop until it’s clean.”
Xu Chengcheng said helplessly: "Hey, good intentions are misunderstood, and we are regarded as troublemakers. After all, people are still afraid of the monster in the river, which is what the villagers upstream call it, the big water snake."
"If you ask me, it's better to leave it alone. These pedantic guys are stubborn and stubborn. We obviously have good intentions to help them, but they are not nice. They don't even say a nice word, and they look down on us. Besides, they use animals for sacrifices. It’s not like he’s a living person.” After Geng Biaobiao complained in boredom, he spread his hands and looked as if the matter had nothing to do with him.
Su Fengfeng denied what he said and said, "Huang Sheng, what are you talking about? Regardless of whether he appreciates it or not, we have to get rid of that evil water demon. We Taoists cannot do things so casually."
"Yes, I support Senior Brother. As the leader, I decided that we will eliminate the demon!"
"Everyone, are you serious?"
A sentence came out of nowhere, and the voice was very strange!
A little boy in rags suddenly jumped up to us, "If you guys are really willing to help us get rid of that monster in the water, then please come with me!"
After saying that, he took my hand and led me away with all his strength, urging me from time to time: "Hurry up and follow me!"
"What is that kid going to do?" Li Huhu thought it was ridiculous.
After he finished complaining, we followed the little boy until we reached a low-lying area.
I saw that he dug up the land very skillfully, took out a big box, opened it in front of us, and said: "Everything in this is for you. I hired you."
I picked up a jade ring and looked at it. It was an authentic Hetian jade of excellent quality. I knew it was worth a lot at a glance.
Su Fengfeng even picked up a pure gold wine flask, played with it in his hand, and said: "This wine flask looks like an antique at first glance, it is quite valuable."
"Very good, you all like my stuff, then I will hire you. From now on, I am the boss, and you are all my workers." The little boy, who was quite a thief despite his age, spoke shamelessly. Consider yourself the boss.
When Xu Chengcheng saw so many priceless things, he asked with suspicion: "How come you have such valuable things? Where do these things come from? Your village is so poor, but you have such valuable things. It can definitely improve your life, but you’re just taking it out now? Did it come from something wrong? Tell me, where did it come from?”
The little boy had long known that we would doubt him, so he replied calmly: "Hmph, this belongs to a passing tourist. It happened that his boat was sunk by a monster in the water, and the things floated to the shore, and they were picked up by me. I found it. In short, whoever finds the ownerless property belongs to the same person. Okay, you are hired by me, remember."
In this way, a seven or eight-year-old boy became the boss of five of us adults.
