Originally, I just wanted to tease her, but I was a little embarrassed to see her like this.

Although I don't understand the little girl's thoughts, but what she is thinking at the moment, I can guess a few points, it is nothing more than that I am willing to fight with Xiong Linlin in order to save her, do I have any special thoughts about her......

But the conscience of heaven and earth, she is still a child!

Even if I, Yang Lin, don't taboo old cows eating tender grass, I won't have that kind of mind about a girl who has just become an adult.

What's more, I already have a lady in my family, and I have no ambitions to develop a harem.

But when my eyes fell on her body, which was so developed that mountains and rivers were water, my little heart couldn't help beating wildly a few times.

This girl's clothes are soaked with water, all attached to the body, although the Miao clothes are wide, but inevitably expose a part of the curve, just this part, is really full of youthful temptation.

I quickly took my eyes off her: "Don't freeze here, let's go, let's go back." ”

We crossed the bushes on the bank of the river and got on the right path.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, I asked Uncle Xiang: "You often walk on the waterway, do you know that there is anything evil in this reed water?" ”

Since I went ashore, Uncle Xiang's attitude towards me has been very respectful and close.

He shook his head: "No, otherwise we wouldn't dare to put bamboo rafts on the river." ”

I frowned.

What I know for sure is that it is not a water ghost, and there are quite a few water ghosts that I have picked up with my own hands, but I have never seen such a horror.

And judging from Xiong Linlin's reaction before she died, she should know what was in the black water.

But since Uncle Xiang didn't want to say it, forget it.

I whispered: "Remind you, you have to be careful when putting bamboo rafts in the future, especially the section of the river just now, if you see black water at the bottom of the river, don't approach ...... anyway"

Before I finished speaking, Uncle Xiang's face changed greatly: "Black water? Did you bump into it? ”

I raised my eyebrows and looked at him.

With a shocked face, he muttered, "Jiang Shen, it's Jiang Shen!" ”

As soon as the word Jiang Shen came out, even Ji Guoguo stopped in shock, subconsciously approached me, and grabbed my arm tightly.

I patted her, signaled her not to be afraid, and then stared at Uncle Xiang and waited for him to explain.

I only heard Uncle Xiang say in shock: "Speaking of this, it will take decades forward, and it will be before liberation......"

Longguan Sanzhai in the Republic of China, there was a period of chaos years, that is, I know, because of the elopement of the Gu master and committed suicide after the death of King Miao, King Xiao Miao succeeded to the throne, because he was too young, the power in the village was controlled by the Gu masters, and it coincided with the turbulent years, there were often rogues, defeated troops attacked and disturbed the village, and the life of Sanzhai can be described as precarious.

At that time, Lushui would often flood, flooding fertile fields and washing away people and animals, so the Gu masters proposed that it was because someone angered the river god that Lushui would become irritable, and if you wanted to calm the anger of the river god, you had to sacrifice people alive.

The person used for the sacrifice must be an unmarried girl, and the specific candidate must be determined by the Jiang God himself.

The method is to release the specially stored Gu worms, let it crawl in the village, once it climbs to the door of which house does not move, the family will choose one of the unmarried daughters, and on the day selected by the Gu master, she will be tied to a bamboo row made of bamboo strips, and released along the water.

The buoyancy of the bamboo strip is not enough, and when it encounters a rapid, it will tilt, and the woman on the bamboo raft will sink into the river and disappear.

Originally, the people in the village did not believe in the so-called Jiang Shen, the Miao family is the descendant of the great god of Chiyou, and the blood in their bones has been inherited for thousands of generations and has not been completely wiped out, so how can they bow to the so-called Jiang God.

But in the years of the Gu Master's dictatorship, who can resist it, and after several live sacrifices, every time there is a sacrifice, a monstrous black wave will be set off in the river, engulfing the sacrificial bamboo rows, which also makes people believe more and more in the existence of the Jiang God, and they have to obey the Gu Master's words.

Of course, there are also people who believe that they are strong, disobey the Gu Master's arrangement, and try to challenge Jiang Shen, but in the end, they are all gone.

Jiangshen has become the biggest pain in the hearts of Sanzhai Miao people.

It was not until after the liberation, in the trend of overthrowing all cows, ghosts, snakes and gods, that this custom was banned, and the higher authorities sent people to dredge the river, and the reed water was no longer as moving as before, and the river god faded out of people's sight.

It is unthinkable that today, decades later, Jiangshen has reappeared......

When I heard this, I couldn't help but sigh a little, no wonder that thing was so terrifying, it turned out to be the spirit of incense.

To put it bluntly, the incense spirit is the spirit condensed by the dark beliefs in people's hearts, and it also belongs to one of the natural spirits.

In the era when scientific knowledge is not popularized, people out of awe of heaven and earth, often worship natural disasters and natural hazards in nature as gods.

What was not originally there, but there are many people who believe in it, and countless thoughts gather together, and it will also make the false come true.

The so-called belief is something, and if you don't believe, you don't have it, in fact, this is the truth.

I guess Xiong Linlin believed in Jiang Shenzhi's words, so it would lead to the appearance of that thing, no wonder I was not affected by the close proximity, and I didn't know what it was, so of course I wouldn't be involved.

I smiled and said to them: "Don't believe the nonsense of those Gu masters, the so-called Jiang Shen is just a tool they use to intimidate the clansmen in order to seize power, as long as you don't believe it, in a few years, there will be no more such things." ”

"Really?" Ji Guoguo seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and looked at me innocently.

"How can big brother lie to you?"

She nodded vigorously, and after Xiong Linlin's incident, my words undoubtedly carried a lot of weight in her heart.

Uncle Xiang also nodded thoughtfully: "How can there be a reason that gods will harm their own believers." ”

As we spoke, two large jeeps came galloping towards us and stopped in front of us.

There were many people getting off the car, and the leader was Xiong Linlin's bamboo row.

After he went ashore, he hurried back to report the news and bring people to the rescue.

That captain is obviously not Xiong Linlin's party, and I don't know if he really didn't see that the strange wind just now was us making trouble, or that he didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing, in short, he didn't say a word about the contradiction between us and Xiong Linlin, only said that he was unable to do it alone when he encountered a storm just now, so he rushed back to call someone to help.

Seeing that we were all fine, everyone was very happy, and when asked about Xiong Linlin, we unanimously said that we didn't see her.

At that moment, the people who came to the rescue were divided into two groups, most of them went to search for Xiong Linlin along the river, and the remaining few people drove us back.

But I don't know if they were intentional or unintentional, Ji Guoguo and Uncle Xiang were arranged in the first car, and Xie Zhijian and I were arranged in the back car.

No sooner had the Jeep started than a voice rang out behind me.

"You dare to kill the Gu Master in the village, so bold!"
