Chapter 605: Where there is a cause, there must be an effect

Waiting for another year, no, for Zhou Dehong, it is equivalent to waiting for another 365 years, he can't wait any longer, instead of spending his days like a year, it is better to end his life now. If his wife is really a Jianghe clan, she threw herself into the river and died, and became a water ghost after death, maybe she can still see her, right?

Zhou Dong's story continues, but Wei Chiran always feels that this story is made up by Zhou Dong, because there are too many similar myths and legends, what cranes repay kindness, Tianluo girls, but Zhou Dong's story is closer to Dong Yong and the Seven Fairies.

Hu Shuntang and He Changqing are also skeptical, although they have also experienced a lot of strange things, but no one can experience myths and stories firsthand, right?

Of course, Zhou Dehong is definitely not dead, and if he does, there will be no descendants in front of him telling this story.

Next, Zhou Dong's narrative really entered the mythological mode -

Zhou Dehong did not die after throwing himself into the river, and when he woke up, he found himself in a cave, and that cave he was very familiar with, that is, when he found a toad containing a treasure bead, it was also the place where he helped Zhou Tong bury the corpses of those people. At the same time, he was pleasantly surprised to find his wife Le Jing kneeling in front of him, her eyes full of concern, and next to his wife stood an old man with gray hair, holding a jewel that emitted a silver-white light in his hand.

Zhou Dehong hugged his wife, and the two hugged each other and cried.

Zhou Dehong asked: "I didn't know that the dirt would burn you, I was just curious, I was deceived by Zhou Tong, can you forgive me?" ”

Le Jing said: "I have never blamed you, but the fate of you and my husband and wife has arrived, I am a demon, you are a human, and shemales have different paths, so there is no way to grow old together." ”

Zhou Dehong hugged Le Jing tightly: "I don't care about people and demons, I know that you are my wife." ”

The old man beside his wife finally spoke: "Even if my daughter is willing to stay with you for a long time, there is nothing she can do, although our Jianghe clan takes water as its home, we must also set foot on land to absorb the essence of the earth, so we must rely on this orb once a year on land, if the orb is given to her alone, the clan will be wiped out." ”

Zhou Dehong immediately understood that the old man in front of him was his father-in-law, and he hurriedly bowed down, but he didn't understand, since this was the case, why did Le Jing commit to him?

Le Jing said: "It's to repay the favor." ”

Zhou Dehong was puzzled: "Repay the favor? Am I gracious to you? ”

In fact, the toad is Le Jing's brother, he is the gatekeeper between the Jianghe clan and the land, because he wants to live on the land, so he can only transform into the appearance of a toad, and he also lost his mana, unable to protect himself, and was finally killed by the gold diggers, Zhou Dehong could have taken the jewel with Zhou Tong, but he didn't do that, he not only buried the dead gold digger, but also buried Le Jing's brother, and he didn't take the orb greedily, so the Jianghe clan decided to repay him.

According to the observation of the Jianghe clan, it was found that Zhou Dehong was not a greedy person, and he lived in the Tianquan Peninsula without worrying about eating and drinking, but there was a lack of a woman.

Zhou Dehong burst into tears when he heard this: "If it's just to repay the favor, I don't need to ......"

Zhou Dehong couldn't express it correctly, at this time he thought that Le Jing was with him not because he liked and loved, but simply to repay his kindness, and within a limited time, this approach made him unacceptable. What the Jianghe clan didn't expect was that Zhou Dehong was so infatuated that he committed suicide by throwing himself into the river for Le Jing, and they couldn't stand it anymore, so they could only rescue Zhou Dehong and persuade him with good words.

Zhou Dehong asked: "Isn't there any other way for you to live with me besides this jewel?" Can't I go to you and stay with you? ”

Le Jing shook his head: "Mortals can't survive in the river, even if you die, you can only become a water ghost, and ghosts and demons can't be combined." ”

Under Zhou Dehong's bitter pleading, Le Jing had to agree to accompany him for two more years, and two years was the limit, because if the Jianghe clan did not set foot on the land for three years, the entire clan would wither.

It was also because of Le Jing's decision that Zhou Tonghe had nothing to do with the Tieyi Gate who rushed over, because for them, even if they caught Le Jing and got the orb, it was meaningless, what they wanted to deal with was the entire Jianghe Clan.

The day after Le Jing followed Zhou Dehong home, Zhou Dehong had a lot of neighbors, these farmers dressed as people claimed to be from Guannei, and they planned to settle here when they saw that the land was fertile, but Zhou Dehong saw that there were Zhou Tong among these farmers, and he knew that these people were those brothers of Zhou Tong's sect.

Le Jing's return means that she has a jewel on her, without the jewel, the rest of the Jianghe clan will not be able to set foot on the land, but Tieyimen also knows the secret that the Jianghe clan will be wiped out if they don't set foot on the land for three years, so all they need to do is wait, they are here to disguise themselves as farmers who come here to cultivate, farming, fishing, hunting, and waiting for that special day in three years.

Zhou Dehong began to wonder one thing, because there was one thing that did not conform to logic, that is, since the Tieyi Gate wanted to exterminate the Jianghe Clan, why not simply kill Le Jing and take the orb and leave, as long as he did this, the Jianghe Clan would no longer be able to set foot on land, and the clan would naturally be wiped out after three years, and they didn't need to do it at all, so why did the people of the Tieyi Gate wait until three years later to fight with the Jianghe Clan?

Zhou Tong naturally wouldn't answer Zhou Dehong's questions, and he had to pretend that he didn't know Zhou Dehong. obviously didn't like Zhou Tong's Le Jing, but he also changed his previous state, and he would show a gentle smile when facing Zhou Tong, Zhou Dehong could see that that smile was not disguised. These completely illogical changes made Zhou Dehong sleep, and he felt that something bad was about to happen.

Finally, Zhou Dehong couldn't help but ask his wife: "Why do those Taoist priests want to hunt you down?" ”

Le Jing asked rhetorically: "Why don't you ask those Taoist priests?" ”

Zhou Dehong said: "There must be a cause and an effect." ”

Le Jing replied: "The Iron Cloth Gate is the cause, and the Jianghe Clan is the effect." ”

Zhou Dehong didn't understand, he couldn't understand this, he had never talked to Le Jing about this before, he used to think that these were too far away from him, and they were not something he should think about at all. Zhou Dehong thought about running away, but he knew that Le Jing would not agree, because the orb on her body was the hope of the entire Jianghe clan.

A year later, Le Jing gave birth to a son for Zhou Dehong, named Zhou Jiangwang, and Zhou Jiangwang was Zhou Dong's grandfather. Zhou Jiangwang's birth made Zhou Dehong sad and happy, happy that he had a son, the Zhou family had a future, and the sad thing was that in another year, Zhou Dehong would lose his wife, and his son would lose his mother.

The time for Le Jing to leave had finally arrived, and the people of the Iron Cloak Gate were also waiting for them, they knew that the Jianghe Clan would not be captured, and they must wipe it out when the Jianghe Clan appeared on land. On the night Le Jing left, Zhou Dehong cried alone at home with his child, he wanted to send his wife, but was rejected by Le Jing, because the events of that night would determine the survival of the Jianghe clan, and he should not bring the child to the battlefield.

Le Jing left, and the people from the Iron Clothes Gate naturally left, and only Zhou Dehong and Zhou Jiangwang and his son were left on the Tianquan Peninsula, which was originally quite lively.

The next day, Zhou Dehong was still relieved, and went to the valley with his son on his back, but when he arrived, he found corpses everywhere, in addition to the disciples of the iron-clothed sect, there were also things similar to human skins around them, and those human skins were transparent, and there were thin fish scales on the surface.

Could it be that those human skins are the dead Jianghe tribe? What happened again last night? Zhou Dewang shouted his wife's name there, but all the human skins seemed to be the same, and it was not clear who was his Le Jing, maybe Le Jing did not die here.

Zhou Dehong found the dying Zhou Tong in the pile of corpses, Zhou Tong's abdomen was pierced by a sharp weapon, but he did not die because of this, he insisted on the whole night, Zhou Dehong carried Zhou Tong back with a horse, and the reason why he wanted to save Zhou Tong was that he wanted to know what the result was last night and whether his wife was safe.

Maybe Zhou Tong was really hard-hitting, he survived, and he came to his senses after being in a coma for five days. Zhou Dehong hugged the child and stepped forward to ask what happened that night? What about the River Clan?

Zhou Tong asked, "What about my classmates?" ”

Zhou Dehong said: "You alone survived, and everyone else died." ”

Zhou Tong was stunned, lying in a daze, his eyes straightened, and he said to himself for a long time: "It's still a failure." ”

Zhou Dehong asked, "What happened to my wife?" ”

Zhou Daodao: "Still alive, we lost, we are not their opponents at all, we knew that we would destroy that orb, we would have destroyed that orb, why didn't they destroy that orb, Master?" ”

Zhou Dehong was relieved to hear that his wife was still alive, and finally had a smile on his face. However, he also wondered why the people of the Iron Cloak Gate didn't destroy the orb, but instead took their lives to fight with the Jianghe Clan? Even if they have a strange body, the Jianghe clan is a demon fairy.

When the story came to this, the three of them were a little impatient, they seemed to be just listening to a love story, and the story never mentioned the key point, not Hong Tie, nor how Zhou Dong's grandfather went to the Dragon Palace, that is, Shuizheng Palace.

Out of politeness, none of the three of them asked questions, but listened quietly to Zhou Dongli and continued to speak.

After this incident, Tieyimen never sent anyone again, and Zhou Tong did not leave, and lived on the Tianquan Peninsula with Zhou Dehong and Zhou Jiangwang father and son, but Zhou Tong became no different from a waste person, except for eating, drinking, and Lazar all day long, he was in a daze, and at some times he said something that Zhou Dehong couldn't understand like chanting.

In this way, 10 years have passed, and in these 10 years, Zhou Dehong has gone to the valley every year on that day, but he has not seen any trace of the Jianghe clan for the whole 10 years, it seems that the Jianghe clan was really exterminated after that battle, and Zhou Tong's statement that Le Jing is still alive is just a white lie.

But the strange thing is that in the past 10 years, every year after that day, there will be one or two foot merchants who claim to be from the Central Plains into the valley, stay for half a day and then leave, Zhou Dehong doesn't know what they do, and these people don't speak even when they face Zhou Dehong, and even when he is completely transparent.

In the tenth year, those foot merchants came again, and Zhou Dehong led his son to stop them and asked them what they were doing here? Unexpectedly, the bell hanging on the foot merchant's body suddenly rang, and several foot merchants exchanged glances, and immediately pulled out the hidden long sword, surrounding Zhou Dehong and his son.
