Chapter Sixty-Nine: The River God's Practice
Hundreds of lanterns come together to form a very bright light, illuminating the entire body of water.
Suddenly it went out, and it was dark in front of me.
Nothing can be seen.
Only the big lantern was still lit, and the water-splitting sword pierced from it actually stopped on the soul fire in the lantern.
Kowloon pulled the coffin forward slowly, without making any more sound.
The huge lantern wrapped around the tip of the water-splitting sword slowly sank to the bottom of the water and disappeared from our sight.
We don't know exactly what this is. The drunkard Qi can't say why, but looking at it like this, it seems that it has succeeded, and perhaps the crisis in Weihe has been temporarily resolved.
Kowloon pulled the coffin and slowly left on the water, without making any more noise.
Now, just wait for tomorrow morning to see if the Wei River is calm, if it is calm, then there is no big problem.
In this way, I left with the water dividing sword, and I could be somewhat comforted in my heart.
I thought to myself. After coming back to his senses, he rushed back and asked, "Grimace Bodhisattva, can you see what the river god is doing?" "
It replied, "It borrowed the power of these soul fires to resist the powerful power of the Nine Dragons pulling the coffin with the method of sacrifice. In other words, the lives of these hundreds of people were exchanged for its safety. "
"The big lantern in the old woman's hand contains a mystery, which can absorb the residual power when the soul fire was extinguished just now, and with the residual power in it, and the tip of the water dividing sword, it can temporarily stabilize the Wei River."
After talking about the subtlety, it also praised it.
"It's really good to exchange this hand for the prince and borrow chickens to lay eggs, the river god has some knowledge, and he can understand such a mysterious method, and it only took the lives of hundreds of people to resolve the crisis with soul fire, it seems that I underestimated him in the past."
No one can understand it, and the Grimace Bodhisattva can see the doorway.
These more than 1,000 years have not been lived in vain.
I chased after him and asked, "Are you familiar with the river god?" "
"Not familiar."
"Then listening to your tone just now, it seems that you know him better."
The Grimace let out a self-deprecating laugh that made my scalp tingle.
"Hee-hee, if I knew about it, would I still be so surprised at this time? It's just to understand its appearance, it used to be a demon, and it got an opportunity in the Wei River to become a river god. At that time, I had just entered the Dao, and then I also lived in a corner, and I rarely had any contact with it, only knowing that it was evil and ferocious. "
At this time, the old woman on the bamboo raft spoke. We were too far away to hear what she said, and we didn't see the river god appear.
We don't know what she said, but it took about five or six minutes for her to come from the middle of the water to the bank of the river on a bamboo raft.
The old woman looked seventy or eighty years old, and she was in good health, she could row a boat, and she easily climbed ashore, bowed down, and moved quite quickly.
This old woman is an enemy of us, and she almost killed me.
I won't forget it.
Besides, even if I don't pursue it, I'm afraid she won't let me go.
Now she's the only one here, and it's just an opportunity.
I thought in my heart, so I said to the drunkard: "Master Qi, this old woman and I still have a grudge, and I sent a human skin lantern, let's not stuff her!" "
When she caught me, she also knocked me out from behind, and now it's not an exaggeration to attack her.
There is no morality to speak of for the wicked.
The drunkard looked at me with a happy look and said, "Haha." Your kid is finally slowly enlightened, since you have such an idea, then do as you say, but now that it is too close to the Wei River, the noise is heard by the river god, it may come out to help, we follow her, wait for her to go farther, and then it's not too late to start. "
In terms of experience, I naturally can't compare to the drunkards who have been mixed up for many years.
Xiang Lao Zi left alone on the trail, and we quietly followed.
The three big living people are not ghosts, it is impossible for them to have no movement, and if they want not to be discovered, they can only follow far behind.
In this way, it is a little difficult to get started.
If you get close, you will be discovered, and if you are far away, you will not be able to sneak attack.
The drunkard Qi thought of a way to let Qiqi be here, deliberately making a move, and luring the old woman over. The two of us hid behind. Wait for her to come, and then take advantage of her inattention to smothering her.
Kiki has no opinion, whatever we call.
She walked to the front alone, not deliberately moving away. In this way, no matter how careful you are, stepping on weeds will make a sound.
And the old woman soon heard it.
She stopped, glanced this way, and quietly turned to walk over.
The drunkard and I walked around, going around behind her, and we'll do it again when she comes over to look for Kiki.
At that time, Mrs. Xiang passed less than a meter away from us, and I was so scared that I didn't dare to breathe. I was afraid that I would be discovered, and at the same time, I was a little excited in my heart.
She didn't notice us and continued to walk towards Kiki.
Kiki noticed that she had stopped and hid behind a tree.
Xiang didn't hear any movement, and stopped, looked at where Qiqi was, and asked in a deep voice, "Who is it?" Come out, I want to hide in front of my grandmother, and I think I can't find out? "
No one responded to her.
She moved closer more cautiously.
The drunkard glanced at me. Indicates that you are now ready to go.
He slowly revealed himself.
At this time, as long as you turn back to the old woman, you can find him, but her attention is in the front, not behind.
I'm also going to move from the other direction.
The drunkard Qi was still clutching a stone in his hand, which really made her posture boring.
At the moment when we started, a yin wind blew in my ears.
The voice of the Grimace Bodhisattva reached his ears.
"Don't move her, there's something wrong with her breath!"
