Chapter 5 The Mountain God Stays Behind
After a few idle words, Los Angeles began to get to the point, talking about the legendary story.
Luo Cheng drank saliva, suppressed his throat, and said: "That's what the old man said: there was no river god here, until a certain year a handsome young man named Ling Jun in the village followed his father to go fishing in the San River, but the boat was sunk by a storm on the way back. Ling Jun grabbed a piece of driftwood in the chaos and floated on the river for a while until he was rescued by a woman. ”
Shen Lingjun knew the end after listening to the beginning, and rubbed his forehead: "This story is a bit old-fashioned." ”
"That's not all." Luo Cheng snorted dissatisfiedly, and continued: "Actually, this woman is not a mortal, she is a mountain god, she is always lonely after being alone for a long time, after saving people, when she saw the handsome young man, she fell in love with him, and wanted to keep him by her side." Said to Ling Jun: 'There is everything here, the two of us can live happily here, you don't want to leave, I hope you will stay forever and live with me.' ’”
Zhao Qi raised his eyebrows and said, "This kid flew to Yanfu." ”
Ye Qingzhi glanced at him, told him to shut up, and asked, "What happened later?" ”
Seeing that Zhao Qi was deflated, Luo Cheng snickered and said, "Although the goddess fairy is beautiful and moving, Ling Jun is almost distracted, but he remembered that his father and brother are still unknown in life and death, and he has already married another girl." The day the flowers bloom next year, when they get married, he can't live up to the woman who is desperate for him to marry. ”
Su Musha nodded: "It can be regarded as affectionate and righteous." ”
"Not really." Luo Cheng said: "When I heard this, I also think this kid is really good. ”
Shen Lingjun chuckled: "If you say so, there must be but." ”
Luo Cheng sighed: "The female mountain god still left Ling Junqiang behind, thinking that she would move him with her sincerity year after year, day after day, and one day, he might voluntarily stay for his feelings." So, she accompanied Ling Jun every night to relieve her worries and boredom, spent a good night with him, and when the day dawned, she turned into a small insect and flew in the air, always accompanying him. ”
Ye Qingzhi took a sip of tea and said not very disagreeingly: "If you are too infatuated, it is difficult for a strong man." ”
"That's right." Luo Cheng nodded, took a sip of tea and continued: "After a year like this, Ling Jun persuaded her to let herself go back, he was worried in his heart, he couldn't sleep day and night, and what he thought about every day was how to sneak home. Finally one day, the female mountain god went to the appointment of other immortal monarchs in the sky, Ling Jun sneaked away overnight, but when he walked to the intersection of the mountain road, he was blocked by flying insects in the sky, and suddenly he only felt that the sky was dark, and he couldn't distinguish the south, south, west, and northwest. ”
Shen Lingjun knocked on the stone table, shook his head and said, "This goddess is too much, or is it an immortal?" ”
Seeing that their emotions were all brought into the story by himself, Luo Cheng said slowly with a sense of accomplishment: "Ling Jun knew that this was the flying insect array that the goddess deliberately planted in order to keep him, and persuaded her not to entangle, but the female mountain god was both infatuated and willful, so he didn't pay attention to Ling Jun's advice at all. Three more years passed like this, and finally one day, Ling Jun cut off a strand of long hair from his head, handed it to the goddess, and said to her, "I have figured it out, you have treated me well for the past three years, and you are so sincere, it has indeed slowly moved me, I am willing to stay with you, this strand of hair is a token of love I gave you, use it to express your heart of living and dying with you, please take it with you, and don't lose it." ’”
Hearing this, Shen Lingjun slapped the table: "So this is a story of a junior turning positive." ”
Luo Cheng laughed, shook his hand, and said, "Where, you listen to me." Speaking of this hair, the goddess was also happy after receiving it, she thought that Ling Jun was finally moved by herself, so she really carried it on her every day, no matter when she didn't take it off. One day, the goddess turned into a worm and flew in the air, and the long strands of hair also fluttered in the air, Ling Jun saw it very clearly, and at this time, ......"
Los Angeles, like the old storyteller in the teahouse, deliberately stopped when he got to the point.
I was listening to the play energetically, and poked Luo Cheng: "Hurry up." ”
Luo Cheng raised one foot and stepped on the chair, leaned forward slightly, and said with an exaggerated expression: "At this time!" Ling Jun didn't say a word, opened his bow and set up an arrow, and launched it towards this long wisp with a 'whoosh~'. Only a groan was heard, and a light flashed in the air, and then the goddess slowly fell from the sky in her original form, and happened to fall in the middle of the San River, and gradually sank into the water as the waves rolled......"
Zhao Qi twitched the corner of his mouth: "What kind of immortal is this, let a mortal shoot to death." ”
Luo Cheng scratched his head: "The legend is coming, don't take it seriously." ”
Su Musha groaned slightly: "That woman is the river god?" ”
Luo Cheng nodded: "Later, there began to be river gods eating people in this San River, especially handsome men." ”
"But this time it's a woman, or a foreigner," Ms. Ye pointed out.
Shen Lingjun also said: "It doesn't matter if you look at it." ”
Luo Cheng touched his nose: "I forgot to tell you just now, that Ling Jun is going to marry a foreign girl." ”
After an illusory story, instead of becoming clearer, things become more mysterious.
At this time, Kagura returned, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she said mysteriously, "The body of the wizard is gone!" ”
hugged Luo Cheng during the play: "Fake the corpse?" ”
Kagura ran for a long time and was thirsty, and when he saw the tea on the table, he didn't bother to be so nervous, he just took the pot and poured it into his mouth, drank it for a while, wiped his mouth, and smashed it: "What kind of tea, it tastes good, it's a little sweet." ”
Luo Cheng said coldly: "I replenish the blood of women." ”
"Poof~" The only remaining sip of tea in Kagura's mouth squirted out.
Zhao Qi smashed a cup and said, "Seriously." ”
Kagura caught it, laughed, and said, "When I went, I saw those villagers talking there, saying that the body of the wizard was originally placed in the hut behind the ancestral hall of Jingling Village, and two strong men were specially sent to guard it, and they were going to do a ritual tomorrow and bury it." ”
Shen Lingjun clasped his arms and said suspiciously: "That wizard is not from this village, why do you still do things for people and don't send them back?" ”
Kagura spread his hands: "I think that the wizard is wandering around, and he happened to come here and encountered such a thing, so he came to cheat some money, but he didn't want to put his life into it, and the people in the village were afraid that he would die in vain and not be at peace, so he did a magic thing to seek peace?" ”
Shen Lingjun nodded: "It's also possible." ”
Ye Qingzhi walked over from the side and asked, "Why don't you see it?" ”
Kagura changed another cup of tea and replied: "According to the two villagers, that place is usually not visited, so it is very quiet, and the two of them are bored, and it is also such a fuss by the river today, and I am a little panicked, so I made a pot of wine, put the table at the door, and the two of them drank wine and talked about it, and everything was fine." ”
Speaking of this, Kagura put on a mysterious expression and lowered her voice, "But as soon as it was dark, a sudden demonic wind blew, and the two of them didn't know anything as soon as it was dark in front of their eyes. When the two of them woke up, the wizard's body was gone. ”
Shen Lingjun held his face: "Demon wind? ”
Kagura nodded: "I see that these two people are not lightly frightened, and they have started talking nonsense." The villagers are all saying that the sacrifice was not completed today, and the warning given by the river god is that the people in that village are now panicking. ”
During the play, he rubbed the goosebumps on his arms and flattened his mouth: "It's not clean here, let's go." ”
Los Angeles slapped him on the forehead: "Shut up." ”
Shen Lingjun provoked a meaningful smile: "I don't believe that there are any goblins and ghosts. ”
"Hmm." Su Musha is also a person who does not believe in evil, and said: "Someone should be pretending to be a ghost." ”
Ye Qingzhi squinted her eyes and smiled sadly: "It's better to have a ghost, catch it and open it." ”
Zhao Qi smashed the table with a hammer: "Los Angeles, during the play, you go and catch that ghost!" ”
Los Angeles and the play said in unison: "Don't." ”
The wizard's sudden death, and now the corpse is gone, adds a bit of weirdness to what was once ordinary.
After thinking about it, Shen Lingjun said: "Tomorrow I will take someone to that village to investigate, if there is really a hidden secret, the person behind this is not so simple." ”
Su Musha looked at her: "It may not be useful." ”
Shen Lingjun understood what he meant, those villagers would definitely not cooperate with her, and she would not be able to ask anything at that time.
Zhao Qi waved his big hand: "It's okay, you guys are investigating openly, I'll let Kagura secretly investigate at the same time." ”
Shen Lingjun smiled, hugged his fists, and complimented: "Brother Zhao is still thoughtful." ”
Ye Qingzhi rubbed her forehead, Shen Lingjun's title to Zhao Qi had transitioned from general to brother Zhao, obviously satisfied with Zhao Qi's path, it can be seen that he is farther away from the day when he gets rid of Zhao Qi.
Shen Lingjun calculated in his heart that the few people in his yamen were as good as Zhao Qi's secret guards, so it was more pleasing to look at Zhao Qi.
Su Musha looked at Shen Lingjun with a cunning face, his eyes were shining, just like a cat that had stolen a fish. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but relax slightly, and his calm and waveless eyes revealed an invisible smile.
Zhao Qi looked at Ye Qingzhi with an unhappy face, but his heart was happy, and the more he looked at the corner of his mouth, the bigger the smile became. I thought about it again, this girl is good at everything, but her face is a little whiter and unhealthy, and she doesn't smile, and it is like a layer of frost.
During the play, he muttered: "The general laughs like a fool...... Not...... Uh-huh......"
Luo Cheng covered his mouth during the play and hurriedly dragged it down.
Ye Qingzhi turned her head, saw Zhao Qi's shameless smile, glared at her with disgust, and went back to her room to sleep.
Several other people also went back to their rooms, and the courtyard that was still lively just now instantly returned to calm.
I had a lot of travel the day before, and everyone was a little tired because of the mess of the river god or something, so it wasn't too early to get up the next day.
When Shen Lingjun came out of the room, he happened to see Ye Qingzhi also open the door at the same time, and greeted with a smile: "Morning." ”
Ye Qingzhi pointed to the sun: "It's not early, it's too late." ”
Shen Lingjun stretched his waist and turned his neck: "It's time." Touched his stomach: "No wonder I'm so hungry." ”
As he spoke, he walked over and hooked Ye Qingzhi's shoulder: "Looking for a place to eat?" ”
Ye Qingzhi thought for a moment: "It's okay." ”
"Ah sneeze~" With a sneeze, footsteps came in from outside, and when he saw Shen Lingjun and Ye Qingzhi, he greeted with a smile: "Yo, get up." ”
Shen Lingjun and Ye Qingzhi looked over together, and saw that it was Zhao Qi swaggering inside, followed by Su Musha.
Shen Lingjun suddenly looked at them suspiciously, squinted his eyes and said, "What did you do early in the morning?" ”
