Chapter 39: The River God
The women looked in the direction of Tong Wanyu's finger, and about a dozen zhang forward, they turned a bend by the lake, and there was a group of people of all ages, young and old, and men and women surrounded a group of people in a semicircle by a relatively open terrain, because of the angle, they could only vaguely see the high corner of a pair of red candles lit on the table.
Ning Shan's eyes were cold, her hands were tightly clasped into fists, and then she let go weakly and said, "It's ......"
Hua Qianyue opened her big black and white eyes and said in confusion: "Didn't you say once every three years?" ”
Ning Shan said: "Generally, once every three years, there are exceptions, such as floods or droughts. ”
This is too inhumane, no, my sister has to think of a way to break this bad habit today, and Hua Qianyue said.
Lift the curtain on the carriage and say to the general of the Zhenguo Mansion who acted as a coachman: "Stop." ”
The family pulled the reins and stopped the car, Hua Qianyue jumped out of the car first, and the women followed in turn when they saw Hua Qianyue getting out of the car.
Tong Yufei, who was beating the horse in front, saw that the carriage stopped, rode back and said, "What's the matter?" ”
Hua Qianyue smiled brightly and said, "It's okay, I'm tired and resting." ”
This cousin is eccentric, I don't know what I'm thinking, just rest, just rest, anyway, I have plenty of time to make trouble with her.
Tong Yufei whistled, and the other three families gathered towards the carriage.
Hua Qianyue walked into the woods of the riverbank, squatted down to look at the soil under the trees, touched the leaves of the low bushes, looked at the altar for a while, and thoughtfully for a while......
Tong Wanyu looked at Hua Qianyue, the sunlight penetrated the woods and sprinkled on her face, flickering and dimming, with the expression on her face, it made people look unpredictable, and poked Helu with her slender white fingers and said, "What is she doing?" ”
He Lu glanced at Tong Wanyu and said, "Think about things"
I'm dizzy, it's really the one who is close to Zhu is red, and the one who is close to ink is black......
Half of the time Hua Qianyue came back, and said to Tong Yufei: "Cousin, I don't know how these family members you brought are doing?"
Tong Yufei didn't know what Hua Qianyue was going to do, but he still nodded truthfully.
"Can you cross the river with a reed?" Hua Qianyue's eyebrows and eyes were crooked.
"A reed across the river?" Tong Yufei raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Maybe it's not called this name, it's that the practitioner who is very good at light skills throws a reed into the water, and walks across the river on the water with this reed." Hua Qianyue explained.
"What's so difficult about this, the family of the Zhenguo Mansion will be the tenth of the best."
Ten of the best? Didn't the martial arts novels I read in my previous life say that this was a profound light skill? Could it be that the people here are all martial arts geniuses, and what advanced martial arts seem to them to be commonplace? Or is it that all those who can enter the Zhenguo Mansion are masters among masters?
"So, how about bringing another person?" Putting down the miscellaneous thoughts, Hua Qianyue asked.
"No problem"
"Then please take us to the altar," Hua Qianyue said with a grin.
"Ah Mo, you stay and take care of the horses, and the others prepare the reeds......"
"One less? Who will stay with that orchid lotus? ”
"No, I can take two of them."
"You? Bringing two? Hua Qianyue hung Tong Yufei up and down, Yingting's face was dark and his eyes were big and bright, he was dressed in azure muslin, and his waist was tied with a jade belt and his body was long and jade, not like he had kung fu.
"Why, not like?" Tong Yufei said with a smile: "Do you think that the strong martial arts are all five big and three rough men?" ”
Hua Qianyue sneered and laughed: "I think you can't hide it cousin."
Hearing this, Tong Wanyu laughed: "Yes, yes, it looks like me."
Lan Xiang looked at the two girls who were laughing inexplicably and quietly asked Helu, "What are they talking about?"
He Lu pouted but smiled silently, what else was hidden except the fox?
Tong Yufei was blushed by the laughter of the two, angrily grabbed the shoulders of the two, and the two ups and downs landed steadily on the edge of the lake, broke a reed and threw it into the lake, lifted a toe with one hand, and stood on the reed steadily, and the reed automatically went towards the altar as if it had eyes.
Hua Qianyue's voice floated in the wind: "Bring a few more umbrellas here......"
Seeing that the master had taken action, the three generals grabbed a little girl and followed them, and one of them turned around and said, "Ah Mo, umbrella!" ”
A shadow struck the lake, and the three of them reached out to catch it without raising their heads.
On the side of the altar, a middle-aged wizard wearing an octagonal gold-rimmed black hat, wearing a black coat and a goatee held three sandalwood sticks in his hand and bowed to the lake, and behind him, three or five boys who were also wearing black hairpins and bamboo hairpins said that they were supporting a pair of boys and girls who were about ** years old and dressed very festively, and the two young women in the crowd of onlookers wept silently, while the others were full of piety.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd, and the wizard was just about to get angry when he saw the crowd all kneeling down, and some people excitedly said, "The river god has appeared!" The river god is here! ”
The wizard looked up and saw a group of people walking on the river, led by the young man in white clothes, and after a few breaths, the group stood firmly in front of everyone, and everyone didn't even see how they came up, only felt that a flower person in front of them had stood in front of them.
The wizard said angrily: "Bold, who dares to come here to make trouble? Someone will take it for me. Before the three or five boys could move, they were hit by the stone bullet that popped out of the general's hand, and the acupuncture points could not move. The wizard knew that it was not good, and he lost his arrogance just now.
Hua Qianyue stepped forward to pick up the apple on the offering table and wiped it on the wizard's clothes, and sat down on the offering table, and everyone gasped. Hua Qianyue didn't care, took a bite of the apple and pointed at the pair of boys and girls, and said, "This is to be dedicated to the deity?" ”
Hearing this, the wizard's eyes rolled, wanting to arouse the anger of the people to fight against Hua Qianyue and the others: "Presumptuous, dare to blaspheme the gods......"
Before he could finish speaking, the half-eaten apple in Hua Qianyue's hand smashed straight into the wizard's face, hitting the bull's-eye and smashing into the wizard's nose. Hua Qianyue beckoned, and Ning Shan stepped forward: "Take a good look at who she is?" ”
Although the wizard sacrificed so many virgins and girls, he couldn't remember who was who, but he still had some impressions of Ning Shan, the donor who came to the door automatically, and exclaimed: "You are the virgin who sacrificed last year?" ”
Hua Qianyue nodded and said with satisfaction: "Even if you still have some memories," then suddenly her face sank and she said sharply: "Are you guilty?" ”
The most unbelieving in God in this world, I'm afraid that these so-called people who can communicate with God, Wu heard this and said in his heart: This young man also somehow saved the girl, today I am only afraid that it is to avenge the girl, it is better to fight if you can't be good, otherwise this Qingyuan Town will have no place to stand.
Kneeling in the crowd, the mayor saw that the atmosphere between the two was tense and stood up to play a round: "Shangxian doesn't know that the water level of this Qinglong Lake has dropped a lot since last year's sacrifice, and after a check, I found that the original sacrificer's parents died, and such unknown people sacrificed to Shangxian because they were disrespectful to Shangxian, so ......"
"So you add two," Hua Qianyue said with her index and middle fingers shaking as if smiling. His eyes looked at everyone proudly, and he said: "The tide rises and falls with its own providence, and it is not something that ordinary people can control at will." If you can do what you want if you give some benefit, then isn't the position of the deity for everyone to sit in? ”
The mayor was so frightened that he didn't dare to say anything, and the wizard saw that the mayor of Hua Qianyue had nothing to say, and felt that his opportunity had come: "Providence? If you know the will of heaven, tell me when it will rain on this day. ”
Hearing this, Tong Wanyu and the others were face changes, and then thought of the umbrella that Hua Qianyue had brought.
Seeing that everyone's expressions had changed, the wizard was overjoyed: "Boy, you are still a little tender when you fight with Lao Tzu." ”
Hua Qianyue blew on her good-looking nails and asked, "Oh, could it be that the master knows?" ”
Guru?
Brat! Will this remind you of softness? Want Lao Tzu to let you go? Cutting off people's wealth is like killing your parents, will Lao Tzu let you go? As for the rain, to say something ambiguous, whether it rains or not, you are right.
"What? The master doesn't know? Didn't the master claim to be a god? Didn't the fairy tell you about such an important matter? ”
"In ten days, it will rain in ten days."
"Within ten days? What day is it? Today? Tomorrow? ……
"Today?" The wizard looked up at the bright sun in the sky and said, "It will definitely not rain today." ”
Hua Qianyue laughed: "Hold an umbrella!" ”
Bang, bang, a few times, Lan Xianghelu and others opened the umbrella according to their words, and when the umbrella was opened, it rained in the sunny sky, and the noise was getting bigger and bigger......
Normally, everyone must have run away in such a heavy rain, but now no one moves, which is too shocking.
Hua Qianyue looked at the sky and said goodbye, and sure enough, the rain suddenly stopped again, if it weren't for the dampness on the ground and on his body to remind him, everyone thought that everything just now was just a dream.
