Chapter 084: Quicksand Village, Quicksand River, Quicksand Bridge
"1300 years old...... You, you turned out to be immortals? ”
Listening to the gossip of Jiang Liuer and the others, the man looked at them stupidly, and only after a while did he react and exclaimed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Immediately afterwards, he fell to his knees with a plop, kowtowed again and again, and shouted: "Immortal help!" Gods help! ”
This voice attracted many people, and every family heard the sound and opened their doors one after another.
There's a term called the "herd effect," and when the villagers saw the man kneeling, they all knelt down one by one.
"Immortal help!"
"O fairy, save this village!"
"If this continues, the village will be destroyed by the river god!"
"Phew, what a river god is not a river god, I think it's a monster at all!"
"Shhhhhh
"What's wrong with the youkai? My daughter, my daughter was eaten by that monster last month! Woowoo woo ......"
The villagers were miserable, kowtowing loudly, and some even had blood on their foreheads.
Traces of blood splashed on the dirt of the village, staining one piece after another, which was shocking.
"Looks like there's something hidden here." Jiang Liu'er looked at the villagers who were praying to her.
It can be seen that these villagers have been rushed to the hospital in a hurry, and they don't care about anything, and when they see a traveler, they catch and call them immortals, and they don't study the authenticity of this "immortal", just a one-sided sentence of "1300 years old", which has become their lifeline.
"Old man, please get up!"
Jiang Liu'er was still thinking about the problem, but Lingxiu on the side was anxious and couldn't hold back.
She immediately picked up an old woman who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, and comforted her softly: "Old man, don't cry, tell us, what's going on?" And the river god who eats your daughter, tell me about him, and I'll help you teach him a lesson!" ”
"Tsk, I look like a chivalrous man." Zhu Qingqing teased beside him, "Don't forget that you killed the monsters of Huangfengling. ”
"This ...... People make mistakes! Lingxiu gritted his teeth, knowing that he was wrong, so he argued forcefully, "So I want to do more good deeds now and atone for my previous sins, isn't that okay?" And don't forget that you've eaten people before! It's not terrible to make mistakes, it's terrible not to change, are you right, Master? ”
The girl tried her best to change the topic and threw the center of gravity of the pot to the master.
"Lingxiu is right."
Jiang Liu'er glanced at her and didn't say anything more on this topic, and then he looked at the old woman who was helped up by Lingxiu, and said softly: "Old man, what happened in the village?" Please let us know that we will not sit idly by if we can help. ”
The old woman nodded and wiped her tears: "Here's how it ......"
Then she told the story of what happened here, and about the river god.
With her narration, Jiang Liu'er, Lingxiu and others gradually understood the whole story.
This village, formerly known as "Quicksand Village", is located on the border of the Tibetan kingdom of Us.
Ten years ago, this was a prosperous village, full of children and grandchildren, and it was also a relatively wealthy village.
About ten miles away from here, there is a river called "Liusha River", which is the border river of Wusi Tibet.
At that time, the people of Liusha Village were prosperous and wealthy, so the idea of developing and expanding Liusha Village and gradually developing it into a town or even a city was born. Unlike the villagers of Gaolaozhuang, some of the villagers of Liusha Village have read some books, and they know that if they want to develop further, from "village" to "town", the only way to expand their popularity, go out of the border of Wusizang to another country, and carry out extra-river trade, otherwise they will always have to close off the village.
However, it is extremely difficult to cross this quicksand river.
Quicksand river, weak water also, half of the sand, half of the river, the river is dangerous and dangerous, the goose feathers can not float, the reed flowers sink at the bottom.
Unless it is a long detour, this quicksand river cannot be crossed at all.
However, this quicksand river also has a name, called "Eight Hundred Miles of Quicksand River".
Eight hundred miles, in ancient times, refers to an imaginary number, describing the vast area, for example, Huangfengling is also called "eight hundred miles of Huangfengling".
The width of the Liusha River is not much, only about three or four miles, but its length is more than a thousand miles, and if you want to go around the long way, I am afraid it will cost a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, and it is not suitable for trade outside the river.
So the people of Liusha Village decided to build a bridge across the Liusha River.
Because of the wealth, the villagers have more or less some money in their hands, and they can afford to hire a bridgemaker.
This world is incredible, strange, the long four-mile bridge is said to be built, and it is built in the river full of quicksand, and it does not consider the structure of the bridge pillars, the design of the bridge piers and other various bridge building problems.
Because of the geography and culture, the villagers named the bridge Liusha Bridge to connect trade.
However, a few days after the bridge construction began, a disaster struck and changed the illusions of the villagers.
From the quicksand river, a "river god" jumped out who had never met before.
The river god cast a spell and ate all the bridge-builders with a big mouthful.
Then, the river god destroyed the newly-built quicksand bridge, and said that every other month, he would come to the village to eat a pair of boys and girls. This is not said casually, the river god really comes to the village every month and eats the children one by one, without mercy.
And just like that, this kind of days went on for ten years.
For ten years, a pair of boys and girls were eaten every month.
The originally prosperous and prosperous quicksand village gradually began to decline.
Later, it became what Jiang Liuer saw now.
"I see."
After listening to the whole story, Jiang Liu'er nodded.
This quicksand village is also a peculiar place, as well as this quicksand river.
The quicksand river, which is a very famous place, he was a little impressed.
That's right, this is the place where the fourth apprentice, Monk Sha, was subdued in "Journey to the West".
It's just that along the way, I have seen all kinds of strange people and strange things, and Jiang Liuer has already recognized it-
This world is very different from "Journey to the West", the worldview, plot, etc. of that novel can only be used for reference, and it cannot be used at all for the worldview of the world he is in now.
The most obvious thing is that the current three apprentices have all become women, and their experiences are different from "Journey to the West".
There are also the incident of the Black Bear Spirit, the incident of Gao Laozhuang, and the recent incident of Huangfengling, etc.-
If Jiang Liuer hadn't stepped into that "monster world" in person, she wouldn't have known that there was such a world.
If you didn't guess wrong, this quicksand river, and the identity of the "river god"-
After listening to what the old woman said, she was ready to come out.
