Chapter 54: Rain When the Water Covers (Legend of the River God)

"You're a water soul!" the most familiar voice interrupted his thoughts, and he looked up, and a familiar face was reflected in front of him. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Qi Xuanyu: "You still remember me, right?" He nodded, Qi Xuanyu: "You still remember everything that happened, right?" He nodded, Qi Xuanyu patted him on the shoulder: "That's not it! Indeed, sometimes your style of acting is very unfamiliar, but in fact, there is no other soul coexisting in your body, I think, maybe it's just an obsession that falls on you, as for why ......?"

"Because the remnants of the river godhead and obsession have been completely awakened, and you have been dead for a long time, your life must not only be maintained by it, but also by its indestructibility. Your dead body depends on it, it will not go away, you will be different from what you were before, and now you are like this, immortal and immortal, and you should always be like this. With this voice, a figure approached. Qi Xuanyu raised his head, looking puzzled: "...... are you?" Shui Yousoul raised his head, and a sense of déjà vu suddenly appeared: "I've seen you?"

"You haven't seen me," Qinglan smiled inexplicably, "but the river god has seen me." Seeing that Qi Xuanyu looked puzzled, he introduced himself with a smile: "I am the god of wind, I am here to solve the confusion in your heart, there is no need to meet you." As soon as the last sentence fell, Qi Xuanyu was embarrassed, and a pair of drooping eyes despised him: I didn't want to worship you......

Fengshen continued to say lightly: "Obsession, it is the obsession of the river god's atonement, and it has become a part of your consciousness after this incident, but everything you do obeys your own consciousness and knows what you have done. This obsession doesn't hurt you, it just falls on you with the Godhead, and it doesn't forcibly control you to do things that go against your will. Hearing this, the water soul was finally relieved.

Fengshen continued: "You do have a relationship with the river god, I think it is necessary to let you know, I will tell you about the river god and your life experience. ”

Fengshen said lightly while recalling-

I don't see the river god much, but I've heard some rumors.

This big river at the foot of Shu Mountain, there are children laughing and playing nearby all the year round, this river never stops rushing, no matter how cold it is in winter, it will not freeze.

Because no child had drowned here, the child was getting bolder.

Until one day, a child accidentally fell into the water and was about to be swept away by the river. When the group arrived, they saw a countercurrent rushing the child back upstream and sending him ashore.

The children who saw that scene were all scattered, including the rescued child, and the adults thought that there were monsters in the river, and did not dare to let the children go near it, so it became extremely deserted.

What's more, they recruited all kinds of warlocks to lie about eliminating disasters and defrauding the people of money, and finally secretly abducted and sold children on the grounds of "boys and girls sacrificing to the river god", and people who didn't know the truth gradually began to resist, throwing stones into the river to force the river god to come out, maybe in their eyes it was already a river demon.

Actually, it doesn't matter what it is...... What's the difference?

Ancient books have recorded that Jingwei reclamation, and they are following the example of reclamation, never saw the river in the things have hurt anyone, only to see people's grievances increasing day by day, sand and gravel carrying everyone's grievances poured into the river.

It is far more difficult to dry up the lake than to dry up the living waters, but the river rolled up in the rush of one night and went straight to the sky! But instead of rising, the river disappeared, and the people nearby only cheered, thinking that the river demon had been driven away.

Soon after, a sudden flood swept through several villages, but still did not hurt a single person, a feeling that the child who had been rescued was all too familiar, he said, the water is also the river god's, because it does not hurt people. But the flood destroyed many crops and houses, and what the boy said was puzzling to those who listened to the rumors.

At that time, I had never seen the river god, and when I learned about it, I didn't know if it was the river god or not, because I had never cared about it before, so I didn't know anything.

At that time, I thought, whether a god is a demon or not, it must be a beautiful and gentle girl, and she also likes children, and she must have two crystal clear eyes, big and pure, like the water she guards, and her long hair is so soft that it can't be softer, which matches the water and the eyes very well.

No one wants to be close to her anymore, she doesn't care about the loneliness, but she can't hear the laughter of children, she feels that her existence is denied in her loneliness, and she feels a little redundant. She was reluctant when the stone hit her, and she saved the child, but she couldn't get the slightest understanding. When the irrational crowd tried to fill the river, she knew that everyone was just trying to force her to leave, so she left the place where she had been guarding for an unknown amount of time.

She was reluctant to cry, no one paid attention, but some people vaguely heard the angry howling wind, there seemed to be a woman's cry, thinking it was an illusion, and they rarely cared.

She couldn't figure it out too much in the cheers of the people, and the moment she swept through the village, she thought that she could be as ruthless as the previous water god, but she still relented, compared to the previous water god, she couldn't bear to be too much.

I thought, at that moment, the girl must have been very conflicted, look at that group of people, where is the place where there is that group of people worthy of her affection, she wants to go back, but she still feels that there are too many things that she can't let go, what can't she let go......

At the foot of Shu Mountain, there is no water source except for the big river, and people are also relying on this to dare to be impulsive and ruthless. At that time, it was not uncommon to see a river, and I thought that even if there was no river, the village would never be cut off.

However, they thought too well, and how did they know that the rain god did not favor them, and these villages were followed by three years of drought. The people who had suffered from the famine were displaced and forced to leave their homes, and some knelt in front of the river that no longer existed in despair, kowtowing and breaking their heads to beg the old river gods for mercy and water to keep them alive.

It is said that at that time, the rain god Shi Yu was not busy, but just watched the play by the seven-string gossip mirror, which was a strange god with a withdrawn personality and had little contact with other gods.

When the river god asked him why it didn't rain, he replied with a ridiculously succinct answer: "Because ...... I'm lazy. The river god looked at the rain god, and she suddenly felt that the rain god was not lazy, but just wanted to help her breath, and he didn't know how else to help her.

Towards the fourth year, more and more of the remaining people in the village believed in the goodness of the river god, and knelt in front of the dead river all night to weep and repent.

And the hypocritical and cheap Diao people in the eyes of the rain god are still not true in the eyes of the river god.

In the end, even the children burned incense and worshipped for a long time, a little afraid and a little expectant, salivating every day, and the hand holding the incense was still trembling...... Until the moment when the child who had been rescued by the river god fell down due to dehydration, the rain god was unmoved, waiting to see the scolding of the gang after tearing their faces.

However, to his surprise, the river god beside him suddenly stretched out his hands...... That gesture made him feel a bad feeling. Seeing a faint light gradually emitting from the river god, she raised her head and smiled indifferently at the rain god, waved her sleeves and threw off her body and ran to the river ditch where the cracks were made.

The rain god looked at the river god in a daze: "Would you rather use the thousand-year-old path to help them than go back to that place?" even if there are children you like there...... Even so, I helped those people......"

"Back then, I couldn't save a child without seeing death, how can I see him die again because of my departure today. The river god was thoughtful, and this answer, in the eyes of the rain god, was not frank.

The rain god flew up a tree with a lazy face, and continued comfortably against the trunk: "You will only explain the reason that sounds simple and funny, that is, there are too many troublesome people like you, so many troublesome things. ”

The river god smiled, but remained silent.

And he returned, a river no different from the old days. Only the rescued child was lost like a friend, and the familiar feeling did not return. The people who witnessed the water falling from the sky worshipped in awe and thanked the river god for his forgiveness.

There is still such a river at the foot of Shushan Mountain, which is extremely clear and rushing, and people who have left their hometowns have also returned to their hometowns. So it's still the same group of children in the old days, but the children have grown up a little and come to the river, a little nostalgic, but they don't know that the river can no longer protect anyone like it did back then.

The old man is still there, but the gentlest and most silent friend at the bottom of the river is never gone.
