Seeing that I threw those terracotta figurines back into the Yellow River, Brother Li became worried and asked me if I would be okay like this?

I nodded and told him, "It's okay, those little ghosts won't come to pester your son again, and if you catch these things again next time, it's best to throw them back into the Yellow River in time, and don't bring them ashore." ”

As soon as Brother Li heard that his child would be fine, he was overjoyed, and thanked me again and again with his wife, and of course, he also remembered this incident, where did he dare to bring such an evil thing ashore again.

This is strange to say, since I threw those terracotta figurines back into the Yellow River, the child who had been crying and making trouble became normal, as if he had a dream and didn't know anything, and asked us why we took him to the Yellow River at night.

Seeing that their son was finally fine, Brother Li and his wife couldn't help but be overjoyed.

When the matter was finally settled, we returned to Li's house, and we barely slept for a few hours that night, and it was soon dawn. However, as long as the child is okay, it is worth it.

In the morning, Brother Li and his wife killed chickens, cut meat, and drank wine to entertain me. After breakfast, I took their leave and continued along the Yellow River.

Since ancient times, there have been many strange things in the Yellow River, and this is not false at all. I didn't expect that as soon as I arrived at the Yellow River, I encountered a little trouble, who would have thought that just a few clay figurines in the Yellow River would be so evil? Although the trouble of the terracotta figurines has been solved, how much trouble awaits me ahead?

Brother Li sent me a long way away, and when I looked up, the boiling Yellow River was flowing endlessly, and I didn't know where the temple village I was looking for was.

Sighing, I told Brother Li not to send them. Brother Li nodded, and told me to go to his house when I came back, and then treat me well.

In this way, I broke up with Brother Li and continued to move forward.

It took two or three days, and on this day I came to a small village, which was also in the middle of nowhere, and here I finally got the news about the temple village.

And it came to pass that when I came to this village, I went into the village to inquire, and there was an old man who really knew where this temple village was. The old man told me that the temple village was still more than twenty miles away from their village, and that I was going in the wrong direction, because the temple village was on the other side of the Yellow River, which meant that I had to cross the river to the other side of the Yellow River.

However, I was still very excited to hear this news, at least it showed that Hades didn't lie to me at the beginning, and there really was a place for a temple village.

Since there is this temple village, maybe everything the Hades King said is true, and the old man said that the temple village is less than twenty miles away, and he was very happy in his heart, and then I asked the old man, can there be a bridge to cross the Yellow River to the other side?

The old man said, "Do you want to cross the river?" That's not going to work, you've got to go back. ”

"Go back?" As soon as I heard this, I was stunned, because I had not seen a bridge from the river to the other side along the way.

Seeing my puzzled look, the old man said, "Go back to Xingxian, there is a bridge to the other side of the county seat in Xingxian." ”

"Huh?" Now I'm really dumbfounded, I walked all the way along the Yellow River from Xingxian County, and it took me four days to get here, and now I have to run back again to get to the other side, so toss, wouldn't I have to walk for seven or eight days to reach the temple village on the other side?

I was stunned at the moment, and I asked the old man: "Uncle, no, don't you have any other bridge here to reach the other side?" ”

"No, the further you go, the more remote it becomes, it's a big mountain, where will anyone spend that effort to build bridges." The old man shook his head.

I glanced at the Yellow River outside the village, and on the other side of the Yellow River, twenty miles further away is the temple village, which can be said to be close at hand, but it is out of reach, which really stumped me.

My heart was dead, but I was reluctant to give up. Just imagine, how stupid would it be for me to return to Xingxian the same way? So I asked the old man, "Then you don't usually go to the other side, right?" ”

The old man said: "No, the other side of the river is relatively remote, there are few villages, it is difficult to go several times a year, and the last time I went was six years ago." ”

Hearing this, I also understood that since there were not a few villages on the other side, it was naturally impossible for anyone to go there. However, I thought of another way to cross the river, and that was by ferry. I asked the old man, "Uncle, do any of you have a boat here?" ”

"Boat?" The old man frowned, and then said, "No, there is a river god in the river, and whoever dares to go to the river is looking for death." ”

"River God?" As soon as I heard this word, I became interested, because what I was looking for was not the River Temple. Could it be that there really is a river god in this river?

At that moment, I asked him with great interest: "Uncle, tell me well, is there really a river god in this river?" ”

"Yes! Why not! The old man frowned, and then told me about their river gods in the Yellow River.

It turns out that they have a legend about the god of the Yellow River. It is said that in ancient times, when the Yellow River flowed to the Central Plains, there was no fixed river channel, green mountains overlapped everywhere, ravines were vertical and horizontal, there was no flat field, and no field could be filled with the Yellow River water. The Yellow River flows everywhere and often overflows. There are seven strands and eight roads on the ground, and the ditches and ditches are all the water of the Yellow River, and the fields are all shoulder-picked, which is very hard.

There is a person named Feng Yi, who is afraid of hardship and tiredness, does not feel at ease in farming, and wants to become an immortal. He heard that people can turn into immortals by drinking the magic liquid of daffodils for a hundred days, so he looked for daffodils everywhere.

Feng Yi traveled everywhere to find daffodils, so he often crossed the Yellow River, crossed the Yellow River, crossed the Yellow River, and often dealt with the Yellow River. Ninety-nine days have passed, find another daffodil, suck the juice of the daffodil for a day, and you will become a fairy.

Feng Yi was very proud, and crossed the Yellow River to a small village to find daffodils, the water here is not deep, Feng Yi waded across the river, to the middle of the river, suddenly the river suddenly rose, he panicked, his feet slipped, fell in the Yellow River and drowned.

It is said that after Feng Yi died, he was full of grievances and grievances, gritted his teeth and hated the Yellow River, so he went to the Jade Emperor to sue the Yellow River. The Jade Emperor was also very annoyed when he heard that the Yellow River was undisciplined, and that it was spreading wild everywhere, endangering the people. He saw that Feng Yi had sucked the juice of daffodils for ninety-nine days, and it was time to become an immortal, so he asked Feng Yi if he was willing to be the sprinkling god of the Yellow River and govern the Yellow River.

Feng Yi was overjoyed and agreed. This is the wish to become an immortal, and the second is to avenge being drowned. In this way, Feng Yi became the river god in the Yellow River, known as Hebo.

It is said that after Feng Yi returned to the Yellow River, he thought to himself that I would make the Yellow River fill the ravines and silt up the mountain beams. So he held two swords and slashed down at the Yellow River, and the water of the Yellow River immediately stopped flowing, as if a Great Wall was blocked in front of it, but it was rising steadily, and it was really scary to look at from a distance.

Three days later, as far south as Liupan Mountain and west as Helan Mountain, there was water everywhere, leaving only a few peaks. Only then did he draw his sword and let the water of the Yellow River flow forward.

Since then, the land with deep mountains and ravines has become a flat river, and the people living on both sides of the Yellow River have relied on their own industrious hands to open canals and make fields, and live a happy life.

When I heard this, I was very curious, so I asked the old man, "Since the river god is so good and has created so many blessings for the people, why are you still afraid of him?" It is also said that if anyone goes to the Yellow River, he will look for death? ”

The old man smiled bitterly and said, "You don't know this, although the river god has governed the Yellow River, he was drowned, and his heart is full of resentment, so when the river god sees anyone crossing the river, he will be hateful and unwilling to let people cross the river smoothly." ”

It turns out that in this place, there were still some people who would build some wooden boats, or cross the river to the other side, or go fishing. However, no matter who you are, no matter how solid the boat you build, no matter how familiar you are with the water, as long as you go to the Yellow River, there will be no return.

Some people drive boats to the Yellow River, the original calm river, or sudden storms, or huge waves, or whirlpools, in short, when you get to the Yellow River, don't think about going back.

Over time, the river gods in the Yellow River did not let people cross the river, and the more people believed in it, and gradually no one dared to go up to the Yellow River. Nowadays, almost no one dares to row across the river.

Hearing this, I couldn't help but be surprised, and it was the first time I'd heard of this in my heart, because in the villages downstream, like Brother Li, he often rowed a boat to the Yellow River to catch fish, why couldn't he go to the Yellow River when he got here?

The old man said, "If you want to cross the river, go back to Xingxian County, go around, and be safer." ”

I said, "Is the Yellow River here really so evil?" ”

"You don't believe me?" The old man asked.

"Maybe it's because the river here is more dangerous and there are many accidents, so there is such a saying that the river god kills, right?" I shook my head, after all, the river god is in charge of the long Yellow River, and other places can cross the river by boat, so it makes no sense that there is a river god here to kill him. So I said, "Uncle, then you have an old ship here, can I rent your boat at my own expense?" ”

When the old man saw that I didn't believe his words, he seemed a little angry, glared at me, and then said, "There are a few antique dealers from other places who are also going to cross the river to the other side of the river, and they have borrowed a boat in the village, if you don't believe me, go and cross the river with them, but if something happens, don't blame me for not reminding you, it will be equivalent to crying!" ”

"Someone borrowed a boat to cross the river?" As soon as I heard this, I thanked the old man and didn't have time to pay attention to his warning, and then I ran towards the river, hoping to take a ride on their downwind boat...
