The old man shook his head, "Who dare?" I showed the workers before, and they all ran away, for fear that they would be punished by the dragon king if they spoke out; As for those headcatchers you sent......"

He pointed to the conscientious catchers and muttered, "They are so fierce, I don't dare to show them." ”

Shen Ping was stunned for a moment, "You know me?" Then what did you just ......?"

"Even if you don't want to watch it, these big people from outside must also watch it, otherwise how can they solve the dragon king's anger?" The old man asked rhetorically.

Emperor Qianling was a little surprised, "How do you know our identity?" ”

The old man showed a somewhat smug smile, "The one who can make Lord Shen treat him so respectfully must be a bigger official than him." ”

Zhaoyu squatted down, carefully checked the fish bones, and frowned, "It's really clean, Di Jianian used to have a cat at home, and the cat didn't eat fish so quickly." ”

"You mean, it's really the Dragon King?" Qi Wushuang asked.

Zhaoyu thought for a while and shook his head, "Legend has it that the Dragon King is extremely huge, if it is really the Dragon King who eats the fish, he should swallow it whole, why do you want to bite the fish off like a cat?" ”

"Cats don't go into the water, they're afraid of water." The old man interjected dissatisfiedly.

"It's not a cat, it's another animal." Zhaoyu insisted on his opinion. "Maybe it's a bear ......"

"Little girl, don't talk nonsense, have you ever seen a bear in the water?" The old man asked rhetorically.

Ye Jingjing said softly, "Bears can indeed go into the water, but ...... Bears can't stay underwater that long. ”

The old man's face returned to a smug expression, "Look, so this is what the Dragon King eats!" ”

"Then why didn't the dragon king swallow it in one gulp? If he's in a good mood, he might eat you too. Qi Wushuang quipped.

The old man pouted, "The dragon king is a god, and we ordinary people can't care what the gods think." As long as he wants, he will cut the braised and eat it, and it has nothing to do with us, I am only responsible for showing you around. ”

"So, you found out about it first?" Shen Ping asked.

He was a little dissatisfied, after all, it was the old man's discovery that scared the workers away.

The old man seemed to see through his thoughts, and said innocently, "My lord, you can't blame me for this, if they accidentally fall, I'm afraid they will be eaten by the dragon king like this fish, and I can be regarded as indirectly saving people."

"What's more, even if I don't say it, this bridge will be broken if it is repaired, and it will be broken if it is repaired, and someone here will never be able to repair it. So, your bridge is a project to collide with the Dragon King, so why don't you stop......"

Shen Ping waved his hand, "Building the bridge is for the benefit of the people, since this dragon king is a god, he should think about the people, not cause us trouble." ”

He turned his head and pointed to the river, and said sharply, "You are also the dragon king in the river who is not interested, since you are so capable, don't hide in it and pretend to be a ghost, just come out and debate with me!" ”

Although he said righteous words, Shen Ping was still a little scared in his heart.

It's just that the dragon king doesn't know if he is full and doesn't want to move, the river is very quiet, and he doesn't react for a long time.

Shen Ping secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but the old man was anxious, "Oh, Lord Shen, I can't help it!" If the dragon king gives you a dream at night, you'll be in trouble! ”

He said this so loudly that even the catchers next to him were attracted to him and looked back at them.

Shen Ping sighed, "If Tuomeng can solve the matter of breaking the bridge, I am willing." ”

Emperor Qianling gently pinched the fishing line, looked at the fish bone, and his brows twisted into a pimple.

Indeed, as everyone said, this fish is too clean, and it really feels a little creepy when I see it for the first time.

But this is also the strange part, if it is some behemoth, swallow it in one bite, could it be that the dragon king deliberately bit the fish, just to give them a warning?

The group walked around the river again, inspecting the unfinished bridge, and found nothing special.

The old man kept chattering about the dragon king's manifestation, and finally the housekeeper couldn't help it, and scolded, "You are really ghostly, we adults worry about this matter all day long, and we don't have a good rest, I'm afraid that you will be even more unable to sleep if you talk about it!" ”

Shen Ping stopped him, "It's okay, you don't have to be so fierce to him." ”

After everyone went back, Shen Ping arranged a place for them to live, and after he left, Ye Jingjing was the first to ask, "Did you find anything strange?" ”

The other three shook their heads.

"I thought there must have been traces of man-made damage, but I didn't expect anything, it really looked like the bridge broke by itself." Ye Jingjing sighed.

Zhao Yu was the first to put forward his own opinion, "I think that old man is very strange, could it be that he is a trickster, prepared fish bones in advance, and dropped the bag when he put them in the water, deliberately letting us guess about the Dragon King?" ”

Ye Jingjing shook her head, "Impossible, first of all, he couldn't predict our arrival, and secondly, he has been moving under our noses since he picked up the fishing rod, and he can't have extra preparations, so that fish was really eaten by something." ”

"Could it be that the water ghost eats it?" Qi Wushuang said seriously, as if he believed the old man's words.

Ye Jingjing glanced at him, "Baisong Temple also said that the goblins were causing chaos, but it turned out that the monks there had ghosts in their hearts." ”

After everyone discussed, they couldn't discuss any valuable joy, so they had to rest first and make plans for tomorrow.

The next day, they went to have breakfast with Shen Ping with the housekeeper, but saw Shen Ping sitting listlessly in his seat, his eyes half-open, as if he might fall asleep at any time.

Ye Jingjing shouted a few times, and Shen Ping came back to his senses and saluted them respectfully.

"Lord Shen, are you okay? Why is the spirit so bad? Zhaoyu asked strangely.

Shen Ping smiled bitterly, "Don't mention it, it's always been like this lately, although there is nothing wrong with the body, but I just can't sleep well." I'm afraid it's really the old man who said it, there is a debtor and a debtor, and the dragon king came to me. ”

The housekeeper next to him said worriedly, "Master, your body is not harmed by the Dragon King at all, it is clearly that little slut......

Shen Ping glared at him fiercely, and the housekeeper realized that he had said the wrong thing and hurriedly shut his mouth.

However, he had already attracted everyone's attention, and Ye Jingjing immediately asked, "Who are you talking about?" ”

The housekeeper kept silent, and Shen Ping said with a smile, "It's Xiaguan's wife who divorced many years ago, she stole people outside, and in a fit of anger, I divorced her, but she has been entangled with me, saying that she has served me for so many years and wants to give her money." ”

Soon Shen Ping made an excuse to skip this topic and proposed to take everyone to other places to have a look.

Although everyone agreed on the surface, Ye Jingjing still tugged on Emperor Qianling's sleeve in private and gave him a look, "It seems that there is also some story behind this Shen Ping." ”
