Eighty-nine Grey River Undertide
The west of Jiangkou City, on the east bank of Hui River, the purple-robed Taoist lit the talisman paper and threw it away casually.
The talisman paper fell into the river like a stone, and smoke blew up.
The Taoist held the array plate and muttered something in his mouth. The smoke was slowly rising, and it was pulled into thin threads and gathered on the array plate.
After scrutinizing for a long time, the Taoist put away the array plate and frowned and pondered.
"Master Wang, can you cross the river today?"
A rich middle-aged man asked timidly behind him, looking at his eyebrows vaguely similar to Shu Tiande.
"Brother Tianlang, your family is destroyed, and I have ruined my reputation as a national and civilized person. I will go back now and end up worse than you. I am even more anxious than you."
Master Wang went up the river bank and shook his head and said, "But you have to be sure to cross the river. Otherwise, you and I will get on the boat and let the wild river god notice it. If a wave comes, everything will be stopped."
The rich middle-aged middle-aged man said anxiously: "Didn't the county magistrate allow us to carry the Dujiang River statue across the river the day before yesterday? With that statue here, why are the wild gods afraid? As long as you cross the river, the Taoist priest casts spells to suppress the wild gods, and the personnel affairs will be handed over to my uncle Tianlang, which will only take half a day!"
Behind the river bank is a large weed. In the woods behind the grass beach, you can vaguely see the military tent of the military. Beside the woods, there is a black-robed Taoist looking at the river bank, which makes Dao Cheng frown.
Before walking in Xiguan County, he was invited by his uncle's family to be named the God of the River. Wang Wendu thought it was just a trivial matter, but unexpectedly fell into the evil dragon in the river. Fortunately, he ran fast at that time, otherwise he would have died with Shu Tianxiong and the leader of the sect.
As a Taoist priest in the Yinlong Temple in Shujing, I have done too much such as asking for rain and enthronement of gods. This trip was not a public service in Guanzhong, but a private life taking advantage of the time to do private work, which was not to be tolerated by Guanzhong's precepts. Guanzhong is not strictly prohibited, as long as it does not cause trouble and ruins the reputation of the national Guanzhong.
The current situation is no longer as simple as trouble.
Wang Wendu was upset at first, why did he take on this job without knowing it a little more? He thought Guanshan was just a land of exterior fields, but he didn't expect that he would hide a wolf and lie on a dragon.
Anger then rose, and hatred was overwhelming for a moment. The evil dragon was second. Seeing the River God Temple standing so fast, I learned from my uncle's family that the changes in the past few days. The boy from the Zhong family west of my uncle's family surfaced, and he led the shocking change and filled the haze that would penetrate the mountains and get into the hands.
This is also the reason why Wang Wendu is unwilling to cross the river easily. His failure is not a simple matter of divine power, but also a dispute over humanity. It should not be enough to rely solely on his and his uncle's family's remnants.
I looked at Shu Tianlang, who looked very similar to Shu Tianxiong. This was Shu Tianxiong's cousin, who had been in charge of commercial goods and communications in Jiangkou City. He was the one who came to invite him at the beginning.
Shu Tianlang's anxious face was another reason. Wang Wendu knew very well that this was a good opportunity for Shu Tianlang to get the position of head of the family. This person did not tell the uncle's family that was surprised and told the uncle's children, including Shu Tianxiong's daughter who went to Yuanling Sect, just wanted to drag him to the position of head of the family, so that they could not shake the situation.
Whether it is a practitioner or a mortal, they all have their own difficulties. Of course, compared to himself, Shu Tianlang's position as the head of the family is really humble and ridiculous.
But I really can't wait any longer. I just discovered the Ash River, and there was a clear incense aura, and the evil dragon was almost firmly in the position of the River God. In a few days, the evil dragon created such great merits. If the cultivator and mortals killed him, even the wild gods would be punished by heaven. Only by borrowing a larger god, such as the Dujiang River God, to subdue him, but the position of the River God could not be taken down.
Wang Wendu sighed. Although he was not happy, he had to work with the county magistrate.
The day before yesterday, the county magistrate found Shu Tianlang and him, asked about Guanshan, and sent the deputy magistrate of the Sanjiangkou River God Temple, together with the new magistrate of Bishuimen, and a county general in charge of the affairs.
The polite master named Pang was obviously a close confidant of the magistrate Pang. He was very respectful to him, the Taoist priest of the country, and held the Taoist priest and the county soldiers tightly in his hand, fighting the abacus that he and Shu Tianlang were driving the king.
Now he had to bow to Lord Pang and strive for the cooperation between the two sides, not seeking any great achievements, but just trying to get rid of his troubles of failing to be the gods.
On the edge of the woods, I saw the purple-robed Taoist and the fat man Huacao leading people to this side. The green-robed Taoist slicked his long beard and smiled.
"Wang Wendu and Shu Tianlang dared not cross the river and could not wait, so they had to come and ask Lord Pang Guan."
The black-robed Taoist priest said Xiaoyi: "They should also know that if they want to deal with this matter, they must be the Hehe Pawn."
The green-robed Taoist priest was the confidant who was placed in the Shinto of the County Magistrate Pang. He said calmly: "Although Guanshan is small, it has a wide connection. Just to conquer Guanshan, we monks, plus the five hundred county soldiers behind us, are enough to sweep Guanshan."
"But the county magistrate is loyal to the country, and what he considers is not the ownership of Guanshan and the land, but the wisp of dragon energy condensed from the gray river."
"The county magistrate told me that there is no need for me, Du State, to take the lead. I must rest for at least a few years, secretly accumulate strength, and then wait for an opportunity to act. Wan State, the north and Luo State, the south, are both weak countries. If they do not rise up and strive for the first place, they will inevitably become sacrifices for dragon competition. At this time, they dare not target Du State, so they can only look further north and south. Once we fight in Guanshan and attract their attention, it will ruin our country's plan."
The Taoist priest in black robe was a middle-aged man. He laughed and gave him a thumbs up and said, "The county magistrate is wise! The master is wise!"
This person is a remnant of Bishui Sect. His former sect leader and elite sectors were all lost at Jiaokou, and his vitality was severely damaged. He could only take advantage of revenge and hug Master Pang's thighs.
"Since this uncle Tianlang is so enthusiastic about the head of the family, let them stand in front. If they can become the best, the county magistrate can take over the position of Guanshan land and the river god."
Master Pang Guan also wanted to support Bishuimen. Although Bishuimen is now withering, their ancestor is a disciple of Yuanling Sect. His disciple Shu Benhua is about to enter Yuanling Sect again. The sect is expensive because of the people, and Bishuimen is still quite valuable.
As for the position of the head of the family that Shu Tianlang wanted to compete for, they didn't take it seriously, like Shu Benhua, who had entered the Yuanling Sect, he was too lazy to care about it.
A moment later, Wang Wendu and Shu Tianlang got closer. After a polite confrontation with Pang Guanzhu, they finally talked about crossing the river.
The two of them also became enlightened and received the statue of Pang Guanzhu's blessing and protected the safety of crossing the river, and gritted their teeth and set the time.
Pang Guanzhu explained: "Don't act rashly after crossing the river. First, figure out the situation and make sure you are at ease. You can occupy the River God Temple, but don't rush to do the commemoration. Du Jiang River God has countless statues, and this is just one of them, and it may not be able to calm the wild god."
Wang Wendu and Shu Tianlang looked at each other, feeling that this goal was too simple, and nodded immediately and said yes.
The two of them went to prepare themselves, and they walked and chatted on the way.
Shu Tianlang smiled and said, "Even if the boy from Zhong family has captured the untouchables in my Shu family, he is just a bunch of mobs. What kind of foreign wealth has his Zhong family recently been getting? After all, he is a farmer and he is not afraid of it."
Wang Wendu nodded. He didn't care about mortal disputes at all. He just needed to occupy the River Temple. In his opinion, this was also a convenient way. The most difficult thing was to cross the river, and after crossing the river, he would just suppress the evil dragon and prevent him from causing trouble.
If he was the only one, he would be nervous, but if Pang Guanzhu promised to send a team of Taoist helpers from the Sanjiangkou River God Temple and also included talismans and spiritual fragrances, there would be nothing to worry about.
The undercurrents are surging in Hedong, but the joys are continuous in Hexi.
"Recover your injuries well. When you are injured, the Guanshan Sword Sect’s Hunyuan True Spirit Sword Score should have been written. Then you will not hurt yourself again by following the sword score."
In the ward in the stone castle, Zhong Yao comforted Ba Da, who was wrapped in bandages on his face. The boy practiced himself yesterday and accidentally used the "true spirit and practice method" that Zhong Yao and the old man had just discussed. The cast iron sword shattered in his hand, and the body was covered in blood.
With the example of Bada, the old man is more confident in creating the sword guide, so Zhongyao decided to reward Bada with the title of "First Disciple".
"This name is so eye-catching. Everyone will be jealous. The village master will give me a big name."
Bada quickly refused, but he didn't think he was honest and honest, at least he was still very sensible. With this title, would he still have a day of peace if he was chased by his junior brothers and sisters every day?
Zhong Yao saw through but said it out loud, and said with a smile: "It's good, I'll give you a name."
Looking at his head, even if it was wrapped in a bandage, it could not stop the oil from shooting out from the cracks. Zhong Yao slapped and said, "Just... Ba Xu, Xu means the sun, which means that you will eventually become a big shot in the eyes of everyone."
Ba Da was extremely happy. He was also a famous person!
After that, Zhongyao rushed to Heshenpo. There was no movement on the other side of the river, which made him uneasy.
"It's nothing big, it's just that someone throws garbage into the river all day long, that kind of garbage that specializes in the power of incense should be to investigate my situation."
The River God Temple is on a high cliff at the end of the ridge. A beautiful woman with red hair and purple eyes squats in the temple, eating and muttering around the carbon stove.
After eating, Ao Yingying flew the iron stick to the wall with a quick hand, clapped her hands and swept the thin water vapor to clean up the oil stains on her hands.
"The fish and shrimp in the river are really bad. Seafood is better. I still seem to remember the taste of seafood, but I can't remember how I ate it, and who I ate with again."
After eating, Ao Yingying became depressed: "I want to bite people so much, I'll bite many people to death."
Zhong Yao coughed, but fortunately, the River God Temple was temporarily closed under the name of repair, otherwise the mortals who were incense would be scared to death when they heard it.
He patiently advised: "You are a river god, and killing people is a matter that damages merit, and you can't do it anymore."
Zi Luo said, "Not necessarily. If the evil people attack and kill them, how can they reduce their merits?"
Zhong Yao waved his hand and smiled, "These are two different things. As long as you kill someone, no matter whether they are good or bad people, they will lose their merits. God has the virtue of being a good person, and what they lose is the merits of heaven and earth."
"At this time, we will talk about whether people are good or evil. If we kill evil people and protect others, we will naturally earn merit, but that is humane merit. Just like mortals eat meat, it is also killing. However, killing is for living people. If there is a greater population and people live better, the human breath will prosper and earn merit."
“Merit is never simply in and out, but in and out.”
Zi Luo nodded suddenly, bit another skewer of grilled shrimps with her little mouth, and snatched it, her hair flew away, and she spelled out a line of words on her head.
"The merits of the heavenly way are reduced by one, the merits of the humanity plus ten, the merits of the humanity are reduced by five, and the total merits are added by four."
