Volume 1 Liao Zhai Lost Pearls Chapter 31 Dadu River Monster (2)

"The Buddha statue closes its eyes?"

Pu Zixuan was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the big Buddha, sure enough, his eyes were closed, and it was estimated that he had been born for too long and his eyes were weathered.

In addition to Pu Zixuan and Chen Shuqing, there were more than ten people on this boat, and when a young man heard this, he answered disdainfully: "Haha, what a water monster, what a Buddha, don't listen to these people's nonsense." Now that the people of this world are in turmoil, Shi Dare is not cold in the bones, when will the rest of the Taiping army not fight with the Qing court and die alive? Even if there are really monsters, compared to human cannibalism, what kind of is that monsters eat three or five people a day? If there really were any Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, would the world still look like this? I see, instead of bowing three times and nine times to this useless stone statue, it is better to ask for more blessings. ”

The people of Sichuan, like Yunnan, have long been accustomed to surviving in the war due to the existence of the rebel army, but the residents along the Dadu River in Sichuan have far more admiration for Shi Dakai than the Yunnan people for Du Wenxiu, even in the eyes of Pu Zixuan, a Yunnan person, Shi Dakai can be regarded as a real hero who is like a fake, and Du Wenxiu, the leader of the "Islamic state", is just an outright speculator.

The boatman was not happy when he heard this, and shot back: "Everyone knows that the righteous king Shi dares to be a true hero, and I am a grass people, and I have no intention of derogating him, but in my opinion, he has also made a fatal mistakeβ€”that is, he has no reverence for the gods. It was his forced crossing of the Dadu River that annoyed the river god, which provoked the river god to overturn the river and the sea, and ended up with the annihilation of thousands of elite troops. Ma Laosan, it's not me talking about you, if you insist on being disrespectful to the Buddha, sooner or later you will also invite retribution! ”

The boatman called him "Ma Laosan", and it seemed that they had known each other for a long time, and they should be both residents of this Fengzhou Island.

The two were still arguing, and Chen Shuqing whispered to Pu Zixuan: "Eighty percent is a rhino canal." ”

Pu Zixuan asked puzzledly: "Opera? What opera? ”

"It's not an opera, it's 'rhino canal', the 'rhino' of 'rhinoceros', the 'canal' of 'channel', it's the name of a monster." Chen Shuqing explained, "It's also quite interesting, the ability of the purification messenger is divided into three systems: summoning, releasing and materializing, and the corresponding monsters also have three systems: change, destruction and ability...... As for the youkai of the destruction system, you haven't seen their horror yet. ”

"How scary?"

"They can use the power of nature's wind, rain, thunder and lightning to launch devastating attacks on their opponents, for example, there are several monsters that can cause floods, among which this rhino canal is the most vicious and brutal one, and it is also one of the four demon kings under the demon emperor's brother. I learned from some sources that the flood that Shi Dakai encountered on the banks of the Dadu River last year was definitely not the work of natural forces, and it was the rhino canal that colluded with the Qing army to launch the devastating flood. ”

"Dadu River? Isn't this the Dadu River? Is the rhino canal on this Fengzhou Island? ”

Chen Shuqing responded: "It shouldn't be." The four demon kings, such high-powered monsters, are mainly active in the north all year round, and even if they occasionally go south to fight, they will not stay on a small island in the south for a long time. But if you keep going, we'll have to face him sooner or later. ”

Maybe Pu Zixuan had never seen that rhino canal, and he didn't know what magical powers he had, not to mention that he was far away, Pu Zixuan didn't feel afraid, but asked in an excited tone: "What are the four demon kings?" Can I have my ancestor Pu Songling? ”

Chen Shuqing didn't expect Pu Zixuan to ask such a question, and after being stunned for a moment, he said: "Sir is the most powerful purification envoy in history, it is not in vain, Mr. when he was young, even the Demon Emperor Brother Duo on a full moon night is not his opponent, let alone a rhino canal?" However, with your current strength, I'm afraid it's not as good as even a finger of the rhino canal. ”

Pu Zixuan was really dissatisfied with being underestimated, and said: "Hmph, then I'll let you see, my descendants of Pu Songling are definitely better than blue." ”

Chen Shuqing smiled faintly: "Then you should work hard." ”

Looking at the endless dispute between the boatman and Ma Laosan, Pu Zixuan said to Chen Shuqing: "But it seems that this Leshan Giant Buddha does have something magical, or, you try to sense it, this Buddha can have the power of purification?" Perhaps, that Master Haitong is the Purification Messenger, and understanding it clearly will also be beneficial for our future plans. ”

Chen Shuqing nodded: "It's okay, it's okay to be idle anyway, I'll give it a try......"

After saying that, Chen Shuqing began to concentrate on luck, and at this moment, something strange happened - the boat they were riding in lost control for a while, like a rootless leaf falling on the water, first pulled to the center of the river, and then began to spin rapidly!

A group of passengers lost their balance, staggered, some shouted, some vomited, and suddenly made a mess. Pu Zixuan also felt that the sky was spinning, and desperately grabbed the side of the boat with his hand, and shouted at the boatman: "Boatman, what's going on?" ”

At this time, there was no turbulent appearance on the river, and Ma Laosan, who was arguing with the boatman just now, was only deliberately making trouble with the boatman, and scolded: "You old man, we are just a few words of verbal dispute, you actually toss us like this, what is An's intention?" ”

Although the old boatman has been tested for a long time, he is helpless at the moment, he tried hard to prop up the bottom of the river with a penny, trying to control the boat, and responded: "Ma Laosan, do you still have the face to blame me?" I told you a long time ago that the great disrespect to the river god will be retributed, if you don't believe it, look at it, how can I have the slightest mess? It's clear that there are some big fish and prawns under this boat, and it's spinning our boat, and I can't control it at all! ”

Pu Zixuan asked: "Have you been ferrying on the Dadu River for many years, have you often encountered such a situation?" ”

The boatman replied, "Never, I ...... I don't know what kind of evil I have committed. ”

Chen Shuqing reminded Pu Zixuan: "Take a look, is there any demonic energy under this water?" ”

A word woke up the person in the dream, and the two of them came along the way, and it was smooth sailing, Pu Zixuan had long forgotten that he was actually the target of the monster. Sure enough, after a little contemplation, he sensed that there was indeed an evil aura under the water.

However, they are in the light, the enemy is in the dark, and they know that the demon is in the waters below them, but Pu Zixuan has the power of purification and is helpless.

I only heard a crisp sound of "pop", and the boatman's penny broke off at the surface of the water, and the boatman held the remaining half of the penny, and sat on the deck in fright: "This...... This boat, which has been used for more than 20 years, is extremely strong, how can it be easily broken? It's over, it's over, this must be the monster's doing! ”
