Chapter Sixty-Eight: The River God Marries
The night is as cool as water, and the moon is bright and the stars are scarce. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Li Wei sat up and took out the 'Phoenix Tear' from his arms and held it in his palm.
I don't know what this thing is hidden in, in her opinion, imprisoning a person for more than ten years for this thing is a move close to madness.
And that Mo Xiu, is it really as he said? Since his mother is so important, why is he so hard to guard this 'phoenix tears'? Wouldn't it be possible to take it out early in the morning and solve all the problems?
He could continue to search for his mother without being imprisoned, but why couldn't he think of this? It seems that there are still many secrets that have not been unearthed.
Li Wei clenched his hands tightly, no matter how many secrets were hidden in it, he had to find out what was going on.
Early the next morning, the group set out, and in the evening, they settled in a small town called 'Qingyi'.
A few people were having dinner in the hall on the first floor, and the people at the table next to them were discussing the matter of 'marrying the river god'.
Li Wei listened a little fascinated, this river god didn't know where it came from, she didn't believe in these things before, but since she was reborn, some things would rather be believed than not.
Zhan Yunyang saw Li Wei's curiosity, and sent Yu to ask the shopkeeper about the 'river god marrying'.
After Yu inquired and sat back in his seat, he told what he had just heard.
"The shopkeeper said that he had not been in the town for long, but he knew that today was the River God's Day, and every year today, the town would send a woman to the River God, and in the coming year, the River God would bless the town with good weather and good weather."
Li Wei sneered, "This river god marries every year, and he really likes the new and hates the old." ”
As soon as these words came out, the people who were eating in the hall looked at them.
The shopkeeper trotted over, "A few guest officers, this river god is powerful, a few guest officers must not talk nonsense, be careful of causing trouble." ”
Zhan Yun raised his eyebrows, "This river god is really so powerful?" ”
The shopkeeper's nod was like pounding garlic.
"The river god is coming, the river god is coming......" The noisy shouts sounded, and the people who were eating in the hall came out one after another.
Li Wei dropped his chopsticks, "I'm going to see it too." ”
A few people left the inn and followed the crowd to a bridge.
Looking from the bridge, I saw a fish-like body, about two meters long, gray-black body, short head, slightly protruding forehead, small eyes, flat tail, and something without dorsal fin swimming on the surface of the river.
"The river god is here to marry, the river god is here to marry......" The people who stood on the bridge and watched the excitement shouted happily.
Seeing the happy appearance of these people, Li Wei was very puzzled, and asked the old man next to him, "Old man, it seems that this river god's marriage seems to be a good day in the town, and I see that everyone is very happy." ”
The old gentleman glanced at Li Wei, "The girl is from a foreign country, our river god is married, it was only popular a few years ago, about five years ago, there was a big flood in our town, and many people drowned." ”
The old man pointed to the finless porpoise on the river, "After the water receded, we found this thing on the shore, just that day, there was a girl in our town who disappeared, and the family searched for a long time and couldn't find it, and then there was news that the thing was the river god, and that the missing girl was married by the river god." ”
"And such a thing?" Zhan Yunyang asked in a low voice.
The old man nodded, "Since then, every year today, the river god will come to marry, and it is a coincidence that since the river god married, our town has never had a big flood, and it has always been smooth weather." ”
"How did the river god decide on the woman to marry?" Li Wei asked curiously.
The old man sighed, "Whichever girl the river god chooses every year, which family will receive the river god's marriage post." As long as you receive a marriage post, whether you want to or not, you have to marry your daughter to the river god, otherwise the residents of this town will not agree. Some families were reluctant to marry their daughters to the river god, so the family moved out early. ”
"I don't know how the marriage of this river god came out in the first place?"
The old man pointed to the distance, "There is a Wuyun Temple on Wuyun Mountain, and the earliest news of the river god's marriage came from there. ”
"Thank you, old man!" Li Wei saluted and thanked the old man, turned around and whispered in Zhan Yunyang's ear: "That's a finless porpoise, not a river god." ”
"Does Sorrow know that thing?"
Li Wei nodded, "Feng, you come here." ”
The wind passed by, Li Wei whispered some things, and the wind pulled Yuri and the others to quietly withdraw from the crowd.
Looking at the finless porpoise swimming on the surface of the river, the corners of Li Wei's mouth slowly hooked, she couldn't imagine that the so-called river god was actually this finless porpoise, she didn't know the bottom of her heart before she saw the finless porpoise, but now that she saw it, she wanted to see how it married.
He bowed his head and told the golden armor dragon something, and the little thing flew away.
After a while, a bamboo raft appeared on the river, on which sat a bride wearing a phoenix crown.
The bamboo raft slowly drifted downstream along the current, forming a huge whirlpool on the surface of the water, and the bamboo raft was slowly sucked over by the whirlpool, causing a burst of exclamations from the spectators on the bridge.
Just when everyone thought that the bamboo raft would be swallowed by the whirlpool, suddenly a strong air current lifted the bamboo raft and slowly landed on the riverbank.
The whirlpool slowly stopped, and calm returned to the water.
Li Wei hooked his lips and smiled, this little thing performed well, come back and reward it well.
"Now, you're all ready to listen to me." A deep, low voice sounded.
Li Wei turned his head to look around, and seeing that no one had discovered his abnormality, he continued to use his internal force to transmit ventriloquism.
"Your river god has been driven out by me, and now I am your new river god."
It seems that in order to achieve the effect of self-rendering, before the golden armor dragon came out of the water, it flapped the water surface with its wings and set off a sky-high splash.
"Look, there, there." Someone shouted, and when everyone looked up, they saw a golden glow on the water.
Everyone knelt down and kowtowed, the river god lord, the river god lord shouted.
Li Wei watched these people kneel down one after another, hooked his lips and smiled.
"From now on, don't sacrifice to the river god, and ask the woman's family to take the woman back. As long as you keep to your own life, I will bless you with good weather, and if you do evil, even if you sacrifice me every day, it will be useless. Alright, all stand down! ”
After speaking, the golden cloud on the surface of the river slowly sank to the bottom of the water and disappeared without a trace.
After everyone kowtowed to the river a few times, they slowly dispersed, looking at the crowd that gradually dispersed, Li Wei was excited in his heart, if Yun Yang knew that he could still ventriloquist, I don't know what his expression would be.
Imagining Zhan Yunyang looking at him with a stunned expression, he couldn't help but smile and decided to find an opportunity to tease him next time.
Looking back at Lian'er and Yue, his eyes were full of light, and a thought popped up in his mind.
Lian'er and Yue were overwhelmed, "Miss, are you okay?" Why do you look at us like that? ”
Li Wei stretched out his hand to draw them closer and whispered his plan to them.
"Huh? That's not good, miss, what's ......?"
Li Wei made a silent action, and the two had to keep their mouths shut, but they still didn't agree with Miss's approach in their hearts, it was not in accordance with the rules, would the king of war agree if he knew?
"Master, someone has been caught." The day ran over to report and handed the month a package.
Li Wei took Zhan Yunyang's hand, "Let's go, let's take a look." ”
Following the day, I came to an alley, and saw two big men kneeling at the entrance of the alley, and Fengyu and others stood aside with their hands on their chests.
The two kept shouting: "Heroes spare their lives, heroes spare their lives......"
Li Wei whispered a few words in Ri's ear, he nodded, and took a step forward, "If you want us to spare our lives, you can also explain what you know honestly." ”
"Yes, yes," the two big men kowtowed desperately, "The little one just knows that every year today, just send the bride to the back mountain of Wuyun Mountain, and the others don't know anything, and ask the hero to spare his life......" The two begged for mercy desperately.
"Okay, then you can take us there now, and if you play tricks, watch your heads." The day snorted softly.
The wind and rain pressed the two big men to walk in front, Lian'er and Yue walked in the middle, Zhan Yunyang pulled Li Wei to walk in the back, and several people walked on the mountain path by moonlight.
About half an hour, a few people arrived at the back mountain of Wuyun Mountain, and after letting the two go, a few people hid in the dark and waited for the people who came to answer.
Li Wei stretched out his hand, "Yue, give me the burden." ”
Yue shook her head, and Lian'er snatched the burden from Yue's hand, "Miss, this is not good, let's put it on." ”
After saying that, he ran away with the moon.
