Chapter 180: Monster in the River
Mu Yi didn't know how many bad things the middle-aged Taoist priest had done, but his fate was that he was bitten to death by a group of people, and even when he died, he was already covered in flesh and blood, his ears and nose were bitten off, and even his eyes were gouged out. Eight?? One? Chinese Network ?.
And the people who did all this were the people who knelt there before, their madness was understandable, but they didn't have the slightest mercy, but they didn't have any pity in their hearts, but they were not worth it for those dead children in their hearts.
After this incident, whether it was Mu Yi or Nian Nu'er, they had no interest in continuing to play.
"Do the slaves resent them?" On the way, Mu Yi still held an umbrella in one hand and Niannu in the other.
"No resentment." Nian Nu'er shook her head, but her voice was slightly low, obviously she hadn't gotten rid of what had just happened.
"Why? They had to hand over their slaves and sacrifice them to the river gods. Mu Yi asked.
"They, they don't want to, it's that bad guy scaring them." Nian Nu'er hesitated for a moment and said.
"The slaves are right, they're just a bunch of poor people." Mu Yi sighed and said.
"Hmm." Nian Nu'er nodded, looking at her serious look, and didn't know if she really understood.
Originally, Mu Yi was still a little worried about Nian Nu'er's situation and whether she would drill the horns of the bull, but with her words, Mu Yi was also relieved, at least the little girl was stronger and more sensible than he imagined.
"Dao Chief, you, you're back." The steward watched Mu Yi come back with a beautiful little girl, his eyes suddenly widened, he knew very well that Mu Yi was alone when he got off the boat, and he had never seen any little girl on the boat in the past two days.
In other words, this little girl was brought back by Mu Yi just after getting off the boat.
Especially this little girl is so beautiful, so cute, the steward will inevitably start to think in his heart, this robbery of the population, but a crime, and in case someone comes to the door...
However, the steward only thought about it in his heart, and resolutely did not say the idea, and even decided in his heart that this matter must be rotten in his heart, and no one would tell him, as for this little girl, the steward could only show a trace of helpless sympathy in his heart, but he would not go up and pretend to be a good person.
"Hmm." Mu Yi nodded at the steward, and then took Nian Nu'er straight back to the second floor, although the steward's expression was a little strange, but after all, he couldn't read minds, and he didn't know what he was thinking, otherwise his expression at the moment would be very interesting.
"Hey, it seems that the Taoist has become a little different just now."
After Mu Yi boarded the ship, the steward suddenly frowned as if he remembered something, and said in disbelief, but it was too fast just now, and it was not necessarily an illusion.
"Let's go, let's go." The steward then shook his head, urging the boatman to hurry up, and even his eyes looked to the shore from time to time, for fear that a group of people would suddenly appear there, until the boat gradually moved away, and no one caught up, and the steward was completely relieved.
Although it is a little bad to kidnap a little girl, but who let the one on the boat is a rising demon on the rivers and lakes, even the Bafang Hall said that it would be destroyed, and now it is just a little girl, which is nothing at all.
The steward kept comforting himself in his heart.
Poor Mu Yi didn't know that he had become a demon who robbed the little girl.
Because the worship of the river god became a farce, and no one stopped it, so the river gradually became clear, and when the Mu Yilou boat passed by the bank, you could still hear the commotion and all kinds of terrible cries coming from the shore.
Mu Yi knows that maybe they will be sad and sad this year, but next year, I am afraid that someone will start to worship the river god again, in order to ask the river god to bless, this traditional concept, the belief rooted in the heart, is definitely not something that can be changed for a while.
Even most people will hold the mentality that it has nothing to do with themselves, and think in their hearts that everything has nothing to do with the river god, it is the middle-aged Taoist priest who swaggers and deceives under the banner of the river god, and they even have to pray for the river god's forgiveness, and next year's sacrifice will undoubtedly be more grand.
Are they foolish? Perhaps, but definitely not stupid, the big people have the wisdom of the big people, and the little people also have the cunning of the little people.
After Nian Nu'er came out this time, he rarely returned to the bamboo of the years, and even appeared on the boat openly, at this moment, everyone on the boat knew that Mu Yi snatched a little girl back.
After Wang Tao learned about this incident, he complained for a while, if it wasn't for the dissuasion of the two personal soldiers, I'm afraid he would have gone to Mu Yi and asked him to let Nian Nu'er go home.
Although Mu Yi did not deliberately eavesdrop, he also knew the cause and effect of the matter, and at the same time understood why the attitude of the steward became strange.
Thinking of this, Mu Yi shook his head, he was really a fan of the authorities.
He came back with Nian Nu'er, naturally he didn't plan to hide Nian Nu'er's identity, but others didn't know this, after all, the boat was full of ordinary people, they only knew that Mu Yi got off the boat once, and when he came back, he brought a little girl with him.
Bought it? It's enough, it's more likely to be snatched back, who made Mu Yi now called the demon road.
And the demon way, it is natural to do bad things, and if you do good things, you will immediately be suspected of whether you have other intentions or what conspiracy is hidden.
"Bang!"
At night, Mu Yi is in the middle of settling down, the boat is quietly docked on a wide river, and it is not impossible to sail at night, but the safety hazards are too great, and the steward naturally does not dare to take this risk, otherwise it is a trivial matter for the boat to be damaged or stranded, which really makes the master on the boat unhappy, and that is a big deal.
However, at this moment, this sudden impact suddenly woke up the people on the boat, including Mu Yi.
"Bang!"
Then another crash, even more violent, shook the ship, and the cabin was even more chaotic.
Mu Yi woke up from his meditation, frowned slightly, and then got up and walked out with the years of bamboo.
"Dao Chief, are you alright?" Mu Yi had just come out, and the steward had just climbed up in disheveled clothes, and at this moment the steward's face was pale and his eyes were full of worry.
"It doesn't matter." Mu Yi shook his head, but he made a look of Mu Yi listening attentively, and then, a little under his feet, his body had almost disappeared on the second floor of the ship.
The steward was also startled when he saw Mu Yi disappear suddenly, but before he could recover his senses, the building boat was hit again, even more intensely this time, and he also fell directly to the ground because the building boat was shaking and his feet were unstable.
The steward didn't even care about the pain in his body, so he went back the way he came, although the ship was very strong, but according to the degree of impact, I am afraid that it would not be long before the cabin would be knocked out of a big hole, and by that time, with the weight of the ship, I was afraid that it would sink to the bottom of the river.
Thinking of this, the steward's face turned even paler.
At present, although the docking position of the boat is not the center of the river, it is definitely not shallow, once it sinks to the bottom of the river, with the temperature of this season, there are definitely not many people who can survive on the boat, not even including him.
When the steward came to the lower floor, he happened to see Mu Yi standing on the bow of the boat with a pole in his hand.
"Be careful, Dao Chief." The steward didn't care about his own safety, and hurriedly reminded him, but he forgot that with Mu Yi's strength, how could something happen on the ship?
Wang Tao and the two guards also walked out of the room, and the two guards held the knife tightly in case of accidents.
The appearance of this kind of thing in the middle of the night is an indication of abnormality, and they can't be too vigilant at this moment.
With the shouting of the steward, the three of them also saw Mu Yi standing at the bow of the boat, just when the three of them were a little puzzled, Mu Yi suddenly moved, only to see him insert the pole in his hand into the water.
At the same time, something hit the hull of the ship again, but this time it was noticeably lesser, but then they heard the sound of a wave churning, and even if they were still some distance from the bow, they could see the splash flying.
Now no matter how stupid they are, they have already understood that Mu Yi is attacking the unknown thing underwater, maybe it is a big fish, it may also be a water demon, a water ghost or something like that.
At least the steward has never been in this situation in all these years.
"Hmph, what a cunning brute." Mu Yi suddenly snorted coldly, but the pole in his hand was lifted and dropped again, and the churning sound under the water couldn't help but be louder, and even the building boat shook for a while, you know, this building ship is more than six feet long, one zhang and seven feet wide, which is not small, but even so, the water waves alone can make the building boat shake, and the power of the churning waves can be imagined.
However, no matter how violently the boat shook, Mu Yi always stood firmly on the bow of the boat, as if he had taken root under his feet, and his eyes were extremely sharp to look at the churning water, and then, the pole in his hand was lifted and dropped again, and this time, because the force of the infusion was too great, so that the pole directly collapsed and dissipated in Mu Yi's hands.
And underwater, suddenly a behemoth jumped up, and its upper body could even be on par with Mu Yi standing at the bow of the boat.
"Look, what's that?"
"Monsters, big monsters."
"The river demon is here."
There was a sudden chaos on the ship, at this time, people are always full of fear of the unknown, and underwater, is one of the unknown, because the naked eye can't see it at all, can only rely on various guesses, therefore, all kinds of water demons, water ghosts rumors are rampant.
Therefore, people worship the river god in order to be able to bless themselves, to put it bluntly, they still lack a sense of security.
At this moment, I saw the huge thing jumping up from the water, and under the light of the lamp hanging on the building boat, the water was sparkling, and the monster was wearing armor, with big eyes, and two big claws seemed to stick out from under its body, and in the open mouth, the sharp teeth were shining.
The monster itself is already bigger than a cow, and all of them add up, which is even more imaginary.
However, few people noticed that on the monster's back, there was a half-cut rod inserted, and blood was pouring from it.
