Chapter 43: Obsessive Faith
The crowd was surging, and suddenly they heard the roar of the giant bull, and they all stopped together and turned their heads to watch. Mr. Mu stood on the head of the huge bull, and he thought that he had now made the giant bull surrender, and these people should be able to sober up when they saw the river god in their hearts obediently surrendering to the feet of a worldly mortal like himself.
"This kid is blaspheming the river god so much, this is to cut off our way of life and force the big guy to death, what are you doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and take down these two demon girls and let out a bad breath for the river god?"
Zhang Xiaodao had already seen the crowd surrounding his sister and Mu Xiaohua, but instead of rushing over to protect the two girls like that young man, he turned around and ran out of the square. It was not the first time Zhang Xiaodao had participated in such a temple fair, and he knew that such a big scene as today would definitely send people to maintain order.
Zhang Xiaodao guessed correctly, just ran out of the square, and saw a few men in cloth clothes standing outside the door to inspect back and forth, although there was such a big movement in the square, but these men didn't care, the previous festival movement was not small, they just thought that the river god was satisfied with the sacrifice and was in a happy mood. At this time, it was past the time for the festival to enter, and these men were blocking the crowd who wanted to enter, so as not to have too many people attending the festival and any accidents, and it would be difficult to go back.
The men were blocking there, and suddenly a young man ran out behind him, grabbed a man with a panicked look and dragged him into the square. When several men saw Zhang Xiaodao's expression, they knew what they were worried about and what really happened, but they were afraid that something would really go wrong in the square. A man led by two people stayed behind to block the crowd outside, and ran in with the rest of the people with Zhang Xiaodao.
As soon as he entered the square, the man at the head saw the huge cow head on the altar and Mr. Mu standing on the bull head. The man was shocked, Mr. Mu he naturally knew, and he and a few brothers arrested Mr. Mu into the camp of the River Patrol Club last night. How is this good? Look at this, Mr. Mu is obviously really angry, but his ability is also really great, and he actually trampled the river god under his feet. Although the man is just a soldier, his home also lives on both sides of the Cangji River, so he naturally knows what the river god means to the people on both sides, if he doesn't hold Mr. Mu, he will be angry, not only can Mr. Mu not leave today, but he also doesn't want to go. After thinking about it, the man decided to calm the crowd first, and then go to Mr. Mu to discuss.
"Let one go, let one go. Several men separated from the crowd and came to Ye Zi and Mu Xiaohua, "The big guys are all scattered today, these two demon girls and the thief on the stage, we will all take them to the river patrol meeting for strict interrogation, and we will give you an explanation when the matter is clarified, but it will take time." As he spoke, the man took out a rope and was about to tie up the two girls. The young man next to him stopped doing it, jumped over to stop it, and was dragged by Zhang Xiaodao.
Mu Xiaohua and Ye Zi saw that a few Chinese characters were coming with Zhang Xiaodao, and they did not resist and let the man tie them up.
"I said Lu Tou'er," a middle-aged man dressed as a businessman next to him saw that the man was going to tie up the woman who had been dedicated to the river god before, and hurriedly stepped forward, listening to the voice, as if he knew the man, "You take these thieves away, the big guy will naturally not stop them, but the daughter of the Qian family has to stay with us, and this year the river god has to worship, otherwise the big guy will come and go in the wind and rain in the coming year, which is not steady." ”
When people heard the middle-aged man speak, they all echoed the famous yes.
"I said Jia Laosan, are you on an errand, or am I on an errand? Do you want to teach me how to do things? How can I find out what conspiracy these thieves have without taking her away? If I want to calm the anger of the river god, I can naturally find out what is going on. I said, don't you call it all Cheng? Aren't I also investigating? Don't you find out if you big guys can be sure?" The man stretched out his hand and pushed Jia Laosan aside, tied up the woman again, handed it to his subordinates along with Mu Xiaohua and Yezi, and walked towards the altar alone.
The giant bull was very aggrieved, as if he was just here for a meal, and Mr. Mu was the thief who snatched the food from his mouth.
"I've seen Mr. Mu. The man arched his hand slightly, and many pairs of eyes in the audience stared, and he didn't dare to show his acquaintance with Mr. Mu. E-book house
"Do you know me?" Mr. Mu was a little strange, he didn't have much impression of this man, he was deliberately arrested last night, just thinking about getting justice for those sergeants in Yan Mansion, and didn't pay attention to who brought him into the camp of the River Patrol Society.
"I'm afraid Mr. Mu has forgotten, and I'm ashamed to say that I brought Mr. Mu back to the camp last night. The man smiled a little embarrassedly, and immediately realized that this was not a place to catch up, so he hurriedly looked at him, "Mr. Mu is from a foreign country, I don't know the customs here, it's not that the people here are ruthless, but the customs that have been handed down for more than a thousand years are like this." I know that you can't see this today, but the movement is indeed a bit big, if the brothers don't go through the motions, the following people are afraid that they will not let go of Mr. and the two young ladies, and they have to be wronged by Mr. or two. ”
Mr. Mu knew that this man surnamed Lu was kind-hearted, and what he said was also the truth, the following people had already surrounded his sister and Yezi, and it was naturally not difficult for him to take them away, but it was not easy to protect the Qian family brothers and sisters, and if he offended all the people here today, it would be difficult to move an inch in Shajiadian in the future, how would the task assigned by General Jian be completed? Mr. Mu nodded, even if he went back with the man, the red lotus would not dissipate in a short time, and he would come to find it later.
The people in the square were dumbfounded, what kind of ability did that young man have to be able to trample the river god under his feet? Now this young man has been taken down by the man surnamed Lu, it seems that the river patrol will really have some ability. The crowd automatically parted to both sides, and the two old monks personally sent the man surnamed Lu and his men out of the River Temple, and when they returned, the clouds on the altar had cleared, and the giant bull was gone. When something goes wrong, how can this puja continue, some people are happy, some people are worried, and they disperse and return with different thoughts.
Just after noon, Mr. Mu had already left Feng Qianli's camp, and his sister and Ye Zi stayed in Feng Qianli's camp, and Mr. Mu was somewhat relieved. The most important thing for me at the moment is to figure out the ins and outs of the big cow, and only by investigating these things clearly can the people here understand that this river god is just a monster who cheats and cheats.
Mr. Mu casually glued a few strands of beard on his face, and changed into the clothes of the soldiers in the river patrol meeting, and with his cultivation, it was not difficult to change his momentum. People are like this, once they lose their momentum, those powerful people are no different from the farmers who set up stalls on the street to sell vegetables. Mr. Mu swaggered out of the town in this way, and bought a pair of fishing rods when passing by Tic-Tac-toe Street, and today he wants to rent a small boat at Shajia Wharf to have a romantic river fishing. Although the owner of the boat company looked at him as if he was looking at a nervous disorder, he still rented it to him happily, after all, who doesn't make money if he has money, even if the boat is gone, isn't there still a deposit?
Mr. Mu doesn't mind what the boss thinks, just two days ago, so many monsters came to the river to attack the city, but today he has to go fishing in the Cangji River, this matter is really nerve. The work of several boat companies trembled and the boat went down the water, and then ran away in a hurry.
Mr. Mu sat on the boat, put the pig's head meat and a pot of "apricot blossom roast" of the old Zhang family on the bow of the boat, and drank and ate meat leisurely, and did not see him make any movements, but the boat was very fast, much faster than those boats that walked on the river all year round.
Today, I don't know if it's because of the Kaihe God Festival, but the surface of the Cangji River is extremely calm. Mr. Ye had already caught more than a dozen fish, released more than a dozen fish, and finally came to the bottom of a high cliff. The water here is different from other places, calm like a mirror, not even the slightest ripple can be seen, such calm is no longer reassuring, but frightening. This is it, Mr. Mu has sensed that the red lotus is beating, beating with the heart of the giant bull.
The boat sank silently, but Mr. Mu didn't move, and sank with the boat. If it is placed in other waters, just like the cannibal beach that day, even if it is a sunny day, the sun will not shine in the river water below ten zhang, not to mention that this place is still under a high cliff. But to Mr. Mu's surprise, the river here is very clear, clear like a huge crystal, far away, Mr. Mu has seen the colorful palace in the distance. The three-storey high-rise building, the whole body is made of amethyst, the brilliance flows, and the whole palace is located on a huge red coral, which looks magnificent and beautiful.
Before Mr. Mu arrived, an old man with the head of a living water lion had already come out from the direction of the palace with a few turtles and crabs wearing official uniforms and armor.
"Is it Mr. Mu who came?" The old man wore a green robe, which was not the same as the others, obviously his status in this palace was not low, and the old man's body was almost ninety degrees bowed at this time, looking sincerely afraid, "I have been waiting here for a long time by the order of the king of my family, and I have been waiting for Mr. Mu to get on the sedan chair and follow me into the palace. ”
Before the old man's words fell, a few shrimp soldiers behind him had already carried a small sedan chair over, half-kneeling and lifting the sedan curtain with a bamboo pole, waiting for Mr. Mu to get on the sedan chair, so as to follow the old man back to the palace to restore his life.
