Although it is not a rugged road in the mountains, the official road between the countryside is not easy to walk, and now it is at night, even if Jin Yue'er is already anxious, the three carriages are close to each other, and it is already two hours later when they reach the Dingshui Bridge in Hu Yan's mouth.

Under the stone bridge, it seems to be a sinking river in the real sense, and now the river surface is calm, and there is no wave on the river surface dozens of zhang wide, which is in great contrast with the degree of danger in the dark.

At the end of the bridge in the distance, a few feet away from the Dingshui Bridge, where a few red lights are faintly located, is the Shenshui River Temple in the mouths of the three people.

"Fauber, let's cross the bridge!"

Putting down the curtain, Jin Yue'er urged Huang Fu, who was driving, although the three of them proposed many times on the way that it was best to wait for dawn and then go to the water temple to have a few green incense sticks and worship sincerely, but at this moment, there is still one hour less to say before dawn, where can Jin Yue'er wait.

Huang Fu, who knew why Jin Yue'er was like this, naturally didn't say anything more, rode his horse and whipped, and the three carriages slowly drove onto the stone bridge.

Originally, the river was not in a hurry, and there was no wind on the bridge, but when the group reached the middle of the bridge, a breeze first blew from one side, and then suddenly, the breeze suddenly turned into a violent demon wind, and roared across the bridge like a roar.

Under this demonic wind, the horses and horses were all frightened, let out a neigh, and began to struggle and scurry, driven by the demonic wind and the horses, the carriage shook from side to side, as if it had a tendency to overturn.

"Second Miss, this strange wind is too big, the horse is frightened and not driven away, let's still ......"

Huang Fu pulled the horse with difficulty, his voice was a little anxious, although the last few words were not spoken, the meaning was already obvious.

This is very similar to a scene in the story of the rich man taking a concubine told by Fang Cai Yan, and seven or eight times out of ten it is the sinking river god who is doing trouble.

However, it shouldn't be, they haven't crossed the bridge yet, how can they go to the river temple to worship incense, or is it that the sunken river god knows their intentions and doesn't welcome them?

"Fauber, continue to cross the bridge!"

Jin Yue'er replied with a word, very decisively.

At this moment, although she had not left the carriage, there was already a faint frost in her eyes, the temperature around her plummeted, and a trace of cold air quickly spread from the air.

If Chen Qingniu was here, she would definitely make Jin Yue'er stop, Jin Yue'er seemed to be using her ability as a spiritual cultivator.

The cold air spread from the carriages, and soon, it covered the stone fences around the three carriages.

Under Jin Yue'er's control, the cold air rose rapidly, and a layer of ice like a shield was condensed on both sides of the bridge, and those winds blew on it, and the water vapor carried in it was quickly frozen, not only did it blow through the ice, but made it thicker and thicker.

If the previous demonic wind came suddenly, then at this moment, the ice bi on both sides of the bridge that can be seen to be about three or four zhang high with the naked eye can already be regarded as an anomaly, and the three of them will naturally notice it.

However, the three of them also found out for the first time that this cold air did not come from elsewhere, but came from the carriage where Jin Yue'er was.

Although they were very puzzled and extremely shocked, after Jin Yue'er's words fell, the three of them did not hesitate at all, and whipped their horses again.

Without the influence of the demon wind, although the horses were still very resistant, they were obviously much better than the others, and once again stepped on the hooves and pulled the carriage slowly towards the end of the bridge.

Near dawn is the darkest hour of the day.

The scarlet moon curtain had faded, and at the head of the bridge in the distance, there was a short figure standing in the bridge, and only after the carriage slowly approached could they see that the person was not short, but he was old and clumsy.

That person is an old woman who is seventy or eighty years old at first glance, at this moment her right hand is on crutches, and her left hand is raised forward, and before Huang Fu, who is at the forefront of the car, opens his mouth to ask, his voice is old and hoarse: "A few people, please go back, my master is not a few!"

"Your lord?"

The question was naturally Huang Fu, who drove the first carriage, although he was an old man, but one of the old women was very strange, and the other was that he was comforted by Jin Yue'er, and he was a little unsure of the origin of this old woman.

The old woman ignored him, but still stared at where Jin Yue'er was in the carriage, and suddenly the palm of her left hand was reversed, and a pure white bead the size of an egg as bright as a night pearl appeared on it, and she spoke again: "The ...... in the carriage Girl, my lord said that if the girl can leave here, this cold spirit bead can also be taken with her. ”

"Then what if I don't leave!"

The curtain of the carriage was opened, and a graceful figure walked out of the carriage, Huang Fu and the other two who got out of the car and rushed to the front wanted to stop, but Jin Yue'er just signaled the latter with her eyes not to worry, and walked towards the old woman.

When she was only a foot away from the old woman, Jin Yue'er stopped, stared at the latter coldly, and didn't look at the cold spirit bead in the old woman's hand that had an almost instinctive attraction to her, and didn't care whether the old woman was the sinking river god, and said indifferently: "I want my friend to be okay, otherwise, I will smash your broken river temple today, if you don't believe it, you can try." ”

In the face of Jin Yue'er's unceremonious threat, the old woman's expression remained unchanged, her heart was not annoyed, and on the palm of her hand, which was as old as a chicken claw, two beads similar to it appeared out of thin air again.

The old woman said: "Plus this frost spirit bead and this water spirit bead, there are only three people, just one person for one." ”

"You're looking for death!"

As soon as the old woman's voice fell, a chill suddenly reappeared in Jin Yue'er's eyes, and she didn't see any movements, and the ground under the old woman's feet in front of her had already begun to freeze.

However, it is limited to the feet.

The old woman's expression remained unchanged, she turned her hand again, put away the three beads, and murmured: "The old body is just a word, why should the girl be angry, in this case, the girl please continue to move forward, my master has been waiting for a few more hours." ”

After that, the demon wind that appeared earlier appeared out of thin air again, but it was rolling around the old woman's side, and the next moment, the wind was exhausted, and there was no shadow of the old woman on the bridge.

This old woman is not simple!

Jin Yue'er knew about his ability that although he hadn't done his best, at such a close distance, even a mid-realm cultivator could instantly freeze it.

These are the conclusions reached by the two of them secretly trying many times on the way under Chen Qingniu's suggestion, and if Jin Yue'er uses all her strength, even if she faces a peak cultivator of a realm, although she can't freeze it instantly, she still has the power to fight, and even has the upper hand steadily.

And this old woman, who was able to be unaffected at all, was indeed a little unexpected by Jin Yue'er.

Jin Yue'er obviously didn't care about the loss of the three beads that had an almost instinctive attraction to her, but she found that the old woman's words before and after were very contradictory.

"I don't see a few of my lords. "My lord has been waiting for a few more hours. ”

Two sentences, the old woman looked the same when she said it, but which sentence was true, Jin Yue'er was a little unsure.

But whether it's true or not, today, even if the emperor Lao Tzu is in front of her, she Jin Yue'er will never be afraid at all.

Turning around and returning to the carriage, Jin Yue'er originally wanted to say, "This place is only a hundred zhang away from the river temple, let's continue walking", but after the words came out, it became "Fu Bo, Zhang Bo, Uncle Yan, Yue'er may be at risk of death if you go here, you three are just ordinary martial artists, you can wait for me here." ”

For the second young lady of her own family, she was suddenly already a cultivator, and it was naturally impossible for the three people who didn't know before to say that they were not curious, but the three of them were all old rivers and lakes, so they could naturally see that Jin Yue'er intended to hide it, so when they crossed the bridge, none of them asked what the chill released by Jin Yue'er that could instantly condense the ice wall to resist the demon wind was.

For the rumors of this sinking river god and the strange methods of Fang Cai, but the three ordinary martial artists are also afraid, but if they want to let them wait here and let Jin Yue'er go on an adventure alone, they will not be able to do it anyway.

"Second Miss, the three of us know that our martial arts are mediocre, and we know that we may not be able to help much, and we may add to the chaos, but ...... Second Miss, on this trip, the three of us are entrusted by the old owner to escort the eldest son, the second lady and a few of you to Fucheng safely. ”

Huang Fu then smiled faintly and said: "Second Miss, Lao Zhu and I are already old guys who have stepped into the coffin with half of our bodies, and the matter of life and death has long been downplayed, and this journey has been wonderful, to be honest, I once walked the rivers and lakes, claiming to have walked through most of the thirteen mansions of the dynasty, and where can I compare to watching cultivators fight at such a close distance." ”

Zhu Yanzhang also responded: "Yes, Second Miss, what Lao Huang said is also what I have in mind." What's more, I was just a wandering person at the beginning, if it wasn't for the old owner to take me in, let me settle down in the village, I'm afraid that now I don't know where the guest died, and the old owner's explanation I naturally have to do. In fact, for the sinking river god, I am still a little afraid in my heart, after all, the mountain gods who can manifest are rarely seen, I don't know, and they are naturally afraid. However, if the old man is a first-class martial artist who can fight with such an existence, even if it is death, it is worth it. ”

Hu Yan, who rarely spoke, said directly: "I am familiar with this place, and I have been in the River God Temple a few times, although I don't know how to deal with it, but I remember where the golden body of the sinking river god is." ”

The three of them were so perverted, although they knew that the front might be the Longtan Tiger's Den, but Jin Yue'er no longer dissuaded them, and the three carriages drove forward again, heading towards the Shenshui River Temple.

............

Let's talk about the things on the shore for the time being, here, let's talk about the three Chen Qingniu in the river.

The three of them, naturally, were fine, and they were all imprisoned in the same place, a river prison dug between the rock formations on the side of the riverbed, and the guards of the prison door were not some shrimp soldiers and crab generals, just a few drowning ghosts.

Obviously, even in the water, a few Yin Spirits obviously can't be the opponent of the three of them, so chasing the root of it, the sinking river god is still secretly making trouble.

In fact, before the three of them went into the water, the Shenshui River God, who was already in the early stage of the Golden Body Realm, had already noticed a few people, although this Shenshui River God had a lot of water, and was not canonized by the imperial court, but the real river god was hand-picked at will, but the fifty-mile river basin up and down the Dingshui Bridge River was indeed his territory.

There is no way, the real Shenshui River God has been dealing with the Great River God of a country at the confluence of the Xuanming River for many years in the lowest reaches, and where does he have the leisure time to come to this upstream place every day to inspect, and for Shinto cultivators like them who never take time seriously, if they don't come for a day, there is obviously not much difference between it and a month and a year.

Let's get back to the point.

is also a cultivator and a master of the Second Realm, why did this Shenshui River God make a move on Chen Qingniu and the others?

The answer is also very simple, this Shenshui River God is now in the bottleneck of the early stage of the second realm, although the ordinary secular incense is still the foundation of his Shinto, but if he wants to rely on absorbing the secular incense of these ten miles and eight towns to enter the realm, he obviously doesn't know how many years he will have to wait.

Water grinding kung fu, where can it be compared to the speed of coming in by leaps and bounds, so, he has been accustomed to some crooked ways, he saw that Chen Qingniu and the three of them were not bad, and they were three in a row, compared to those cattle and sheep and ordinary people, they were undoubtedly more suitable for the blood sacrifice, so he had bad intentions, so he did not hesitate to spend his divine power to drag the three of them into the river with the subtlety of the sinking river itself.

It's just that when dragging the three of them into the water, the sinking river god had a hurried glance at the anxious gaze of the woman by the river, and immediately, the sinking river god was already half cold.

Mountains and rivers like theirs are magical, whether they are canonized by the imperial court, or they have avoided the wild way of self-proclaimed supervision by the imperial court, as long as they put aside the already powerful power of the Shinto in their jurisdiction, they naturally have some unique advantages, that is, divine consciousness.

This divine consciousness is obviously very different from the spiritual consciousness of the monk, and there is no need to deliberately exert it, but only by instinct, it can sense and know some things.

That woman, although she does not have the slightest aura of a cultivator on her body, there is a powerful energy existence in her body that makes this Shenshui River God instinctively fear, others don't know, but this Sinking River God, who is quite knowledgeable, can see at a glance that this woman is obviously a spiritual path cultivator who is even rarer than him, a person who is truly favored by the Heavenly Dao, and that energy, which is obviously related to water, is far above the mortal water.

Obviously, this is the reason why he asked the old lady who guarded the temple to show favor with Jin Yue'er, and even spared no expense to give up three spirit beads that had absorbed the essence of water for ten years.

It's a pity that the woman still seems to be a little unreasonable, three spirit beads that are very beneficial to her cultivation are exchanged for three men, a monk, a martial artist, and the other is just an ordinary martial artist.

Naturally, this is also the fundamental reason why the sinking river god did not take advantage of the drowning of the three of them to kill them directly after catching the three of them, and the three of Chen Qingniu were naturally the last resort to deal with Jin Yue'er, a spiritual cultivator, after he failed to do business with Jin Yue'er.

However, it is obvious that this sinking river god is not the only one who can't figure it out.

In the water prison, Lu Buwei had already passed the stage of being amazed by looking at the screen on the cell door that was clearly made of water condensation but could block water, and after staying in a dark place for two or three hours in a row, he had already collapsed a little.

And when he turned his head and looked at Chen Qingniu and Lin Muzhi sitting leisurely on the side, he was obviously even more devastated, and couldn't help reminding: "I said, Qingniu, Muzhi, since we are not dead, let's think of some other way! If we want to be locked up like this again, we are not in a hurry, and my little sister should also be in a hurry." ”

Lin Muzhi turned to Chen Qingniu and was silent.

Among the three, although his martial arts are not the lowest, his realm is the lowest, and he is still used to listening to the opinions of this "senior Chen" in many things.

"Just now, I've already tried, the formation in this water prison is not simple, if you only use brute force, although I am sure that I can break it, but you two ......" Speaking of this, Chen Qingniu stopped speaking.

For the formation, when he was in the Zhao family, both Chen Qingniu and Lu Lin had experienced it, and they were deeply touched by its unpredictability and strength, of course, the word formation, naturally Chen Qingniu said that it was with the two of them, after all, he had personally dealt with the ancestor of the Zhao family, whether it was the fog on the island or the ice cage that locked the Xu family brothers to condense the fire snake, it was Zhao Yu'an's formation method.

Shen He lost consciousness and woke up to find that he was already in this water prison, Chen Qingniu naturally thought of a way to get out as soon as possible, but even if he summoned the strongest pangolin beast spirit today, he couldn't break this water prison in the slightest, and Lu Lin and the others naturally tried, but it was obviously ineffective.

But it's not that there is no way at all, Chen Qingniu also told the two of them that he has a way to directly break this formation, that is, to directly summon all the beast spirits, even if this formation is subtle, it will definitely not be able to suppress the extremely huge body of the beast spirits, but just like that, before this formation is broken, all the beast spirits appear in this small space at the same time, don't say that Lu Lin and the two, even himself, may not be able to guarantee that they can be safe and sound under the pressure of these beast spirits.

The only feasible way was denied, and the only thing the three of them could do now was to wait.

Of course, this is obviously what Chen Qingniu meant.

In his opinion, whoever had imprisoned them here, since the man had not killed them during the brief period of stupor, after they had drowned, the man, or the demon, would surely see them again.

Obviously, the three of them are useful, if they are useless, why should that person go to such great lengths to be a water prison, a formation, and a ghost guard, wouldn't it be more thorough to wipe his neck with a knife and never suffer in the future?

............

When the carriage drove over the Dingshui Bridge, the temple of the sinking river was already close in sight.

Obviously, the people inside already knew that a few people had arrived, and they had already turned on the lights, opened the temple door, and even arranged the pawns who guarded the carriage for a few people.

Naturally, that pawn can't be a real person, it's just a ghostly illusion.

At the door, a hobbled figure walked out, it was the old woman who wanted to let Jin Yue'er and the others leave at the head of the bridge.

After the old woman went out, she stood aside, still with that expressionless face, and raised her hand to invite: "Everyone, my lord has been waiting for a long time, please ......"

After Jin Yue'er looked at her for a moment, she stepped in without the slightest hesitation.

Huang Fu and the three of them glanced at each other, instinctively, they were still a little resistant to entering this kind of place that emitted the faint smell of incense and candles at night, but Jin Yue'er seemed to have gone deeper and deeper, and in a blink of an eye, they were about to step into the hall where the incense burner was hung with red silk and a golden statue, and the three of them no longer hesitated and followed.

The old woman followed, and the temple door behind her automatically closed with a windless sound, and on the incense candlestick in front of the golden statue, there was a person with a bull's head and a human body, and this person must be the god of the sinking river.
