Chapter 203: Caught Up
Five days later.
Whoop –
Whoa, whoa, whoa—
The sky was dark and rainy.
The rainy season is followed by July, which is also the rainy season when heavy floods are most likely to occur, and it has been raining for five days.
Yinyi River.
Thundered!
With the frequent rain in the upper reaches, the water level of the Yinyi River rises, and the river water rushes like a yellow turbidity dragon turning over the river and the sea, and the momentum is shocking.
After the yellow turbidity dragon that overturned the river and the sea arrived in the open land of Fucheng, the river became calm again.
It seems to be the location of this prefecture city.
It is the eye of the general trend of heaven and earth.
Able to be sleepy.
Suppress all evils.
However, under this calm, it is still not possible to stop the upstream rainwater, which causes the downstream water level to rise every day.
If the upstream flood is not blocked or channeled in time, sooner or later the flood will reach the open Fucheng, and at that time, the Fucheng will become a land of red water.
At this time, on the bank of the river, many people were constantly kneeling down towards the Yinyi River, praying that the Dragon King would calm his anger and not bring floods to drown crops and grain.
Most of these people are elderly.
Their old eyes are dizzy, most of their ears are not good, they don't listen to people's advice, and those with stubborn tempers must kneel down and worship the dragon lord and pray for the dragon lord to calm his anger.
It added a bit of depression and uneasiness to the hearts of the people in the city.
First of all, the Yinyi River was cut off, and then it continued to rain heavily, and the celestial phenomena were abnormal, I am afraid that there will be a bad omen.
Even the ferry business on the Yinyi River has been affected.
The ferry's diversion went fishing.
Fishermen switched to collecting corpses.
The business of passenger ships and merchant ships has withered a lot, and they are worried that the Yinyi River will be flooded, and this year's Yinyi River will be evil.
Today, the masts on the Yinyi River are still threes and threes, and even the boatmen and shipwrights on the merchant ships look at the empty river, all of them look listless, bored and want to doze off.
Suddenly.
A cry of terror broke the calm on the riverbank, and someone shouted that there were dead people in the river!
The cries of terror came from a merchant ship.
When the officials of the Yamen hurriedly came and found a fishing boat to help salvage the dead man ashore, and saw the appearance of the dead man clearly, the surrounding people were so frightened that they took a step back.
This is the bride in a red wedding dress.
The bride's head cover has long since been lost.
It can be seen that she is a young girl, with a young face, and she may not be yet sixteen years old.
It's already weird to see a dead person, but the dead man is still wearing a red wedding dress as a bride, whose bride is this who fell into the water and drowned?
The fiercest is the female ghost in red.
The bride died wickedly enough.
Just when everyone was panicking, suddenly, an old man in the crowd knelt on the ground with a puff, knock knock, his head kept kowtowing to the female corpse, and he shouted with fear in his mouth: "This is the water god Niangniang who sacrificed to the dragon king, the dragon lord has to marry a daughter-in-law to calm the flood, can't be salvaged, can't be salvaged, it will offend the dragon lord." ”
"A few officials, hurry up and send the bride of the Dragon King to Huijiangli again. ”
"If you offend the Dragon King, the Dragon Lord will send a flood to drown us all. ”
Your old man was so frightened that he shouted madly, shouting that he should hurry up and send the water god Niangniang to the river, hoping that this would calm the dragon king's anger.
Hopefully, the Dragon King will forgive them for their unintentional offenses.
"The dragon lord who fart!"
"It's human life!"
"No matter how fucking you bewitch the public, you will be arrested and not a single one will be spared!"
The head of the government official who was drenched in the rain turned blue with anger, and shouted at the people around him.
"Master Guan, the corpse of the water god is really not fishing......"
"It's going to rain, and the dragon king is going to take a wife......"
The old man was still shouting madly, and the head catcher shouted stubbornly, and directly ordered the official to take away the female corpse together.
On the way back, his face was ugly.
The thing that worries the Yamen the most, after all, still happened, since the case of the dragon king landing, the folk rumors about the dragon king's apparition have spread more and more, and sure enough, some ignorant villagers have begun to treat people as livestock sacrifices and secretly sacrifice to the dragon king.
If this matter is not handled well, the hearts of the people in Wuzhou Mansion will probably be in chaos.
The people's hearts are almost unstoppable.
In the upper reaches, there was a village that sacrificed young girls to the dragon king, and the official yamen salvaged the body of the water god Niangniang from the river, which soon spread wildly among the people of Fucheng.
This incident caused a sensation.
There are actually many people who say that the government should not salvage the female corpse, and the hatred of killing the father and taking the wife is not shared.
When the people are not afraid of the government.
Instead, he began to fear the heresy of ghosts and gods.
This is a precursor to the people's disarray.
......
......
Five visceral Taoist temples.
Under constant observation day and night.
The three-hundred-year-old elixir "Eight Flavor Pills for Clearing the Heart and Nourishing the Spirit" has been swallowed endlessly.
Jin An's spiritual martial arts have made great progress.
It has been a month and a half since he cultivated the spiritual martial art "Heavenly Demon Sacred Skill".
In just one and a half months, he has practiced the "Heavenly Demon Sacred Skill" to perfection, and this speed of progress is not shocking.
To be an ordinary person.
I'm afraid that it may not take a lifetime of hard work to achieve perfection.
And now he is.
The martial arts of the rivers and lakes practiced by one body are "The Forty-second Layer of the Blood Sword Sutra", "The Eight Extremes of the Shape of the Fist", "The Seventh Layer of Black Mountain Gong", and "The Fifth Layer of Heavenly Demon Sacred Gong".
There is also the Taoist exercise "Five Organs Secret Sutra".
There is a knife trick.
There is horizontal practice of kung fu.
There are both internal and external strength.
There are spiritual martial arts.
There is also a miraculous healing effect of the dirty qi in the temple of the five visceral immortals.
He is now consistent inside and out, flawless, and deduces himself to perfection without shortcomings.
Martial arts success!
And during the five days that Jin An was in retreat and concentrating on cultivation, Fucheng was also full of ups and downs.
The impact of the Dragon King landing case among the common people has not only not faded with time, but has become more and more intense.
It seems that someone has been fueling the fire.
The influence of the people has never receded.
In just a few days, the case of the Dragon King going ashore has spread from the capital city to the major counties of Wuzhou Prefecture.
This is the mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings!
The atmosphere in the city is even more tense!
Every day, I can see the government officials, cooperate with the military men in the military camp outside the city, and search for suspicious people in the city.
This tension.
It's been going on for days.
Panic.
But the government and the military have been nervously searching the whole city for so many days, and there has been no new progress.
Compared with the wind and rain in the city, the Bailong Temple, a grand Buddhist hall on the low hill in the city, was unusually calm, and there was no news of Master Shanneng's death.
On the contrary, it was the dragon king who went ashore to stir up the people of the whole city to panic, and the incense in the temple was more prosperous, and the people burned incense and prayed for blessings in the White Dragon Temple every day.
Even the incense and candle business in the city is booming.
The abnormal calm of the White Dragon Temple made Jin An feel that the White Dragon Temple must have hidden something, and he wanted to enter the White Dragon Temple several times to have a look.
But his current identity is the new head of the Five Organs Taoism, and he is the master of the view, and the Taoist disciples went to the Buddhist temple to contribute incense money to the Buddha, and Jin An was worried that his uncle and master would come to him in his dreams at night.
As calm as the White Dragon Temple.
There is also a Taoist temple of the five internal organs.
But the calmness of the Taoist temple of the five internal organs is really calm, and the incense is mediocre.
Because the temple had not yet been expanded and had been affected by rain for several days, the completion date was repeatedly delayed.
The Five Organs Taoist Temple has not been expanded, and even the incense in the Taoist Temple has been affected, and it has been a long time since new incense believers have been added.
The people who come to burn incense and pray for blessings every day are old acquaintances, such as the scholar who saved him a few days ago;
Another example is the bun stall diners who treated you that day;
Let's compare it with the third lady of He Fu, the maids next to the eldest lady, the subordinates in the room, the people of He Fu, etc., as well as the old lady and daughter-in-law of the Xue family.
However, these subordinates and servants usually don't have time to go out of the house every day, and they occasionally come to the Taoist temple to burn incense, and then ask the old Taoist priest for a sign.
However, the old lady and daughter-in-law of the Xue family, because of excessive thoughts, would come to the Taoist temple every day to recite scriptures for Xue Xiong and pray for reincarnation in the next life.
At the end of this day, the daughter-in-law of the Xue family supported her father-in-law and mother-in-law, who had aged a lot overnight, and walked out of the Five Organs Taoist Temple, sat in the carriage, and just walked with her front feet.
Today's eldest lady is dressed a little plain and elegant, the black hair is coiled into a coiled women's bun, a jade hairpin, a gold hairpin are randomly hairpinned on the bun, loose but not lose the rich temperament of a lazy lady.
Maybe it's because of the cold rain and the eldest lady's body is afraid of the cold, she wears a pink and crispy long skirt, and wears a white veil, with a peony belt around her waist, and her waist is not full of hand, wearing both the conservative of a married woman and giving people a kind of crisp light powder and playfulness that does not lose the twenty-eight girl, and with the well-maintained skin of the lady, even if time flies, it still sets off the skin like snow, which is fascinating.
The eldest lady's dress seems to be plain and casual, but it actually takes a lot of care.
The eldest lady came to the Taoist Temple of the Five Organs, and at the beginning of the reception of the eldest lady was the old Taoist priest who had just sent away the old lady and daughter-in-law of the Xue family, and was ready to return to the main hall to continue to draw yellow talismans.
When he heard that the eldest lady was named today to find Jin'an, the old Taoist priest muttered in his heart, and then took the eldest lady to the private backyard of the Taoist temple.
In normal times, if he is fine, Jin An practices in his private backyard.
The eldest lady is also an old acquaintance, and even this five-visceral Taoist temple was built by the eldest lady, and no one can offend the eldest lady, the big gold lord, so the old Taoist priest did not avoid suspicion and directly took the eldest lady to the private backyard of the Taoist temple.
"Little brother, the eldest lady is coming to you again. ”
The old Taoist priest shouted towards Jin'an's house.
Not long after, the door opened, and Jin An walked out to greet the eldest lady, and then, the eldest lady walked into Jin An's house, leaving two personal maids to stay outside the house to watch the door.
"The eldest lady and the little brother chatted slowly, the old way, I will draw talismans in the front hall, little brother, if you have something, you can let the big lady's maid come to the front hall to find the old way. ”
"Daoist Chen, you don't need to retreat, I came here today mainly to find you and Daoist Jin'an, I have made up my mind about Fu Yin, and finally I want to recruit the masters of the major avenues and temples in the Fucheng, and prepare to go down to the Yinyi River, a thousand caves!
The old Taoist priest looked surprised and asked Fu Yin why he suddenly made up his mind to finally go down the Yinyi River?
The eldest lady said with a solemn face: "Daochang Chen and Daoist Jin An are both masters of the world who have escaped from the world and practiced, and they may not know that a major event happened in the Yinyi River early this morning... This morning, the body of a woman wearing a bride's red robe was salvaged in the Yinyi River, and some people were sacrificing living people to the dragon king as the goddess of water......"
"The people's hearts began to be in turmoil, and the bad impact of the Dragon King case began to intensify, and Fu Yin began to prepare for the Dragon King and calm the people's hearts. ”
"Because I knew that this matter was very important, I specially rushed to inform Daoist Jin An and Daoist Chen. ”
Jin An's eyes moved: "It's the rainy season, and the river is soaring. If you want to go down to the Thousand Caves of the Yinyi River, you must first cut off the flow of the Yinyi River, and Fu Yin is sure to control the power of heaven to cut off the flow of the Yinyi River?"
The eldest lady bent her eyebrows and looked at Jin An: "I don't know if the chief of Jin An has ever heard of the drought?"
"It's like... Fu Yin found a drought. ”
Broken stream?
“!”
Jin An and the old Taoist priest glanced at each other.
