Chapter 16: Commanding the River God
Chunhua's sister-in-law continued: "That day, I was drying salted fish outside the door, and suddenly a strong man with a box on his back came to me and asked me for a bowl of water to drink, and I poured a bowl of water for him not long after, and after drinking, he said that he wanted to thank me and not drink my water in vain. I refused, but he kept saying that he wanted to repay me, so I asked him how to repay me. He said to help me tell my fortune. You also know that there are so many liars now, and he is not very old, so I didn't pay attention to it, so I let him count, but what I didn't expect was that this calculation was really accurate, and I told my husband clearly about what happened before his death, and there was no mistake in the eight characters of his birthday, and I was very surprised, so I let him into the house. He asked me if I wanted to see my husband. In fact, for so many years, my child and I have not seen him, I miss him, if I can find him, and meet my wishes, but the fault is this. ”
As she spoke, Sister-in-law Chunhua began to choke.
I asked Sister-in-law Chunhua to speak slowly.
Xiao Wanwan became a little angry, and her fists clenched a little.
Chunhua's sister-in-law adjusted her mood and continued: "In the evening, my child and I followed him to the basement, and he started to do it, and really called my husband up, my child and I were very excited, and I talked a lot with my husband. When it was over, my child and I were thankful to him. But what I didn't expect was that he started asking me for compensation and gave me to ...... in front of the child."
Speaking of this, Sister-in-law Chunhua is embarrassed to continue.
I picked up Chunhua's sister-in-law and said, "In the end, he crucified you all, and your souls came under the old locust tree, right?" ”
"Yes." Chunhua's sister-in-law said.
"He also wanted to take away our souls, but even he couldn't get close to the old locust tree, which seemed to be invisibly protecting our souls."
My heart sank, so the person who messed around in the room with the carpenter that day should not be Chunhua's sister-in-law, but someone deliberately created an illusion.
At this time, Yuan Zhen, who had not spoken, suddenly interjected: "Did he tell you what his name was?" ”
Sister-in-law Chunhua meditated and said, "It seems to be called a missing mage." ”
Yuan Zhen muttered, what kind of bullshit lacks a mage, I think it is a lack of virtue mage.
Sister-in-law Chunhua suddenly knelt down in front of me with a thud and begged us to help her take revenge. I asked Sister-in-law Chunhua to get up first, and I had anything to say. Yuan Zhen also said: "You go back first, we will definitely help you avenge this revenge." ”
Sister-in-law Chunhua answered, and walked to the old locust tree with the child.
Xiao Wanwan's face was a little pale, and I couldn't help but ask, saying that she was okay, right? Xiao Wanwan said that it was okay, but she felt that Chunhua's sister-in-law was pitiful.
Yuan Zhen frowned, and said, "Don't feel pitiful for others, you yourself are no better, you have been calculated one after another, I am afraid that it will not be peaceful in the future." ”
Xiao Wanwan and I looked at each other. I've seen those souls tonight who want to let Xiao Wanwan go, and I feel even more that she is not an ordinary person.
Yuan Zhen said to go to the Yellow River now and see the river god.
Walking on the road, I couldn't help but ask Yuan Zhen and said, "Master, what's the matter with the old locust tree?" Why does it protect the soul? ”
Yuan Zhen let out a long sigh and said: "There are many things in this world that cannot be explained, and if you really get to the bottom of it, you may end up scaring yourself to death." ”
When he arrived at the Yellow River, Yuan Zhen planted three incense sticks and a small yellow flag on the side of the Yellow River. Yuan Zhenpan sat down, folded his hands and read silently, and after a few minutes, Yuan Zhen's voice suddenly increased: "Huang Qi asks for directions, come and see you quickly." ”
As he spoke, a gust of wind arose, and the wind blew the yellow flag directly down into the Yellow River.
Strange to say, the yellow flag fell into the water, and was not immediately swallowed by the waves, but seemed to be stuck in the water, straight and straight. Floating at the top of the waves, but it just can't sink. It took about a minute for the little yellow flag to sink.
Then I saw a few shadows emerging from the water.
Not long after, several shadows all stood on the surface of the water, and the shadow at the head had a fierce face, ten feet tall, and in front of the clothes he was wearing, there were delicate and dark pictures sewn on them, which looked a little scary. He was followed by a dozen or so water ghosts.
Suddenly, one of the water ghosts pointed at us and said, "My lord, this is the soul hook they used last time. ”
I've always heard the legend of the river god when I'm growing up, but I've never seen a river god before, so I'm still a little surprised to see it at this time.
Yuan Zhen was not stunned at all.
The river god may have listened to the water ghost's reminder before he spoke up to us: "If you know each other, quickly return the soul hook rope, and I can spare your life." His voice was so majestic that it made my eardrums ring.
Yuan Zhen took a step forward and said, "What if I don't pay it back?" As he spoke, he took out the Soul Hook Rope.
After hearing this, the river god snorted coldly and shouted: "Toast without eating and drinking." One step onto the shore, stretched out his hand and grabbed Yuan Zhen, Yuan Zhen dodged and avoided it.
The river god chased Yuan Zhen forward, and suddenly there was an extra black chain in his hand, and I knew that it was a soul hook rope when I saw it. He threw it at Yuan Zhen and immediately hooked Yuan Zhen's neck, I thought to myself, something was going to happen, so I wanted to come forward to help, but Yuan Zhen stopped me and asked me not to go over.
Yuan Zhen's face was calm, and he said to the river god: "You try, can you hook my soul out." ”
The river god quickly exerted his strength, but Yuan Zhen didn't move at all.
The river god looked puzzled.
Yuan Zhen's whole face darkened and said: "The Yellow River is thousands of miles long, stretching endlessly, you came to be the god of the river, but you are engaged in a miasma, believe it or not, I will go to the Dragon King to visit you." Let it take off your ebony hat. ”
The river god's face was grim, and his voice was cold, "Join me? You have to have a life to do it. After the river god finished speaking, he made a big move, and saw that the waves of the Yellow River suddenly became bigger and faster, and the river water rushed to the shore and poured into Yuan Zhen's body.
I saw Yuan Zhen being submerged with my own eyes, and I called out to the master.
Hurriedly stepped forward to take a look, Xiao Wanwan also came with me, and at this moment, the river god suddenly ordered: "What are you still doing in a daze, take them both down." ”
After the water ghost got the order, he ran towards me and Xiao Wanwan. Xiao Wanwan quickly protected me and said to me, "You go first." ”
I thought to myself that if I leave now, then I really won't be a man, and I pulled Xiao Wanwan behind me.
We were already surrounded by water ghosts at this time, and the water ghosts were approaching us, and when we were about to make a move, a cold voice suddenly came: "I see who dares to touch my apprentice." After the sound fell, the original turbulent water gradually disappeared.
Yuan Zhen rushed over to us, raised his hand and slapped the water ghost in front and fell into the Yellow River.
The rest of the water ghosts didn't dare to move when they saw this.
The river god's face also changed, and he asked Yuan Zhen who he was? Yuan Zhen laughed a few times and said: "I don't care about you when I think of your first offense, I have something I want you to do for me now, and if I can't do it, I will bear the consequences." ”
The river god may have changed his attitude a lot after seeing Yuan Zhen's skills. He asked tentatively, "What's the matter?" ”
Yuan Zhen said: "The water in this river is turbid, and there are many people and things hidden that cannot be seen, and I now want you to help me find a person named Master Missing." ”
The river god had a strange look on his face, and after a pause, he said, "How can I find someone if you only say one name like this?" And what if he is on the shore? As a river god, I can't walk around my world at will. ”
Yuan Zhen replied: "This person must be in the Yellow River, don't think I don't know what happened at the end, now you are all looking for someone, right?" But when you're looking for that person, you'd better pay attention to the means. I don't want to say more nonsense, if you don't send the missing mage to me within seven days, you river god won't want to do it, and I haven't been back for a long time at this end. ”
The river god said coldly, "Are you threatening me? ”
Yuan Zhen patted the dust off his body with his hand, and said domineeringly: "Yes, I am just threatening you, my patience is not good, you had better do something now." ”
At this time, a water ghost interjected: "Presumptuous, what kind of dog do you dare to be disrespectful to the river god." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he was locked by Yuan Zhen with a soul hook rope, pulled over, pinched it in his hand, and directly pinched it into black powder. The last lift, floating in the air.
The river god's complexion had become extremely ugly. Yuan Zhen continued: "Do you want me to say more? ”
After speaking, the river god snorted and disappeared into the water. It didn't take long for the water to regain calm.
I looked at Yuan Zhen, dumbfounded, speechless, what happened just now is not too shocking to me, Yuan Zhen's ability is far beyond my imagination. I was a little distracted, Yuan Zhen patted me and said, "What do you think, go home." ”
I couldn't help but ask Yuan Zhen, "Master, you are more powerful than the river god, you shouldn't be the dragon king, right?" ”
Yuan Zhen glared at me and told me not to talk nonsense, and be careful of being heard by people who shouldn't be heard, and getting into trouble.
I quickly shut my mouth.
Xiao Wanwan didn't ask anything, and followed us home, and when we got home, it was already very late. Grandpa still hasn't come back, and I don't know where he went. Xiao Wanwan said to give me a bowl of noodles. I went to my grandfather's bedroom.
As soon as I entered, I was stunned, only to see that my grandfather's room was cleaned up. Everything is in order, and there seems to be a smell of smoke in the house.
I called Xiao Wanwan and asked, "Wanwan, did you clean up Grandpa's room?" ”
Xiao Wanwan came over and said I didn't clean up, what's wrong?
I thought to myself, is Grandpa back?
Yuan Zhen also came up to me and asked, "Zhang Yan, did you find anything?" ”
I hummed and said that grandpa might have come back.
Yuan Zhen glanced around a few times and said to me: "Your grandfather must have his own reasons for doing this, don't think about it too much, when he should appear, he will naturally appear." ”
I said I got it. Yuan Zhen retracted his gaze and said lightly, tonight you put a leader on your grandfather's threshold, even if you hear the bell ring in the middle of the night, don't open your eyes.
I answered, thinking that what Yuan Zhen said made sense, so I followed his words and found a bell to put on the threshold.
I asked Yuan Zhen why he didn't open his eyes? Yuan Zhen said that you will know in the evening, and Yuan Zhen will withdraw after speaking.
I finished eating noodles, took a bath and fell asleep, grandpa is not here now, I slept in grandpa's bedroom, at first I couldn't sleep, my brain was a little messy, and then I couldn't stay up and fell asleep in a daze, and when I slept until midnight, the sound of jingling suddenly sounded in my ears......
