I saw the five ghosts leave one after another, and I was relieved, you must know that it is a grudge after all, I am really afraid that one will be harmed by them if I am not careful, think about their appearance, it is really terrifying.

The white-clothed female ghost had a talisman on her forehead, and she sat on the ground and couldn't move.

"Master, what should you do with this female ghost?" Mu Yueting walked up to the master, pointed to the female ghost on the ground and asked.

The master frowned, and said to the white-clothed female ghost on the ground, "Why are you female ghost not reincarnating, but come to harm my disciples?"

The female ghost in white raised her head and looked at us with dark eyes without a trace of white eyes, and a strange smile appeared on her miserable white face: "Lord Jiangshen is coming out, you will all die!" will all die! Giggles! ”

I was taken aback by her words, and with the evil smile on her face, I became a little timid in my heart and hid behind Master.

"Lord Ejin?"

I saw that Master's face changed suddenly, and he exclaimed to the female ghost, "You mean Jiang Shen? How is this possible, is the legend and story circulating in Dujiangyan true? ”

"Hahaha! You're all going to die! The white-clothed female ghost did not answer Master's words, but said with a laugh.

I saw that Master closed his eyes and said something in his mouth, as if he was saying something, I stepped forward and heard words like "Dujiangyan, Shiren, Erlang", and I couldn't understand it, just stood next to him and looked at Master in a daze.

"Master." Mu Yueting called the master next to her, and I saw that her face also changed a little, as if the word "Jiang Shen" in the mouth of the female ghost just now contained great magic, which made the master and her change color together.

The master let out a sigh, opened his eyes and looked at the white-clothed female ghost on the ground, and at some point there was a dark yellow clay pot in his hand, he raised the clay pot to the female ghost, and recited two esoteric spells in his mouth, and then saw the white-clothed female ghost scream and turned into a white light and was put into the clay pot, and then saw the clay pot shake violently, as if it was about to burst.

Master's face remained unchanged, he stretched out his left hand, and at some point there was a yellow paper talisman in his hand, and he pasted the talisman to the mouth of the jar, and the whole clay pot instantly quieted down and no longer trembled.

"Yueting, send this female ghost to the Sealing Spirit Palace." The master said to Mu Yueting on the side, he seemed to be a lot older at this moment, and his spirit was a little bad.

Mu Yueting responded, she glanced at the master with some concern, took the clay pot with the yellow paper talisman and walked towards a side hall in the Taoist temple.

The Master sighed and sat down on the steps beside him, his face calm, as if he was thinking about something.

"Master, what is that Jiang Shen?" I also walked over and sat down next to Master, grabbed one of Master's sleeves, and asked.

Master stretched out his hand and touched my head, and said slowly: "This Dujiangyan has been built more than 2,000 years ago, and it has made the entire Chengdu Plain fertile for thousands of miles and become a country of abundance, and when it comes to the construction of Dujiangyan, we have to mention Lord Li Bing and those two ancient legends that have been passed down for thousands of years. ”

The first legend is very simple, saying that two thousand years ago, after the Qin State captured Bashu, King Zhaoxiang of Qin appointed Li Bing as the county guard of Shu County. At that time, there was a spirit in the river who called himself the god of the river, and he had to ask the people around him to sacrifice two young and beautiful girls as his wives every year. That year, when Li Bing first came to this place to take power, the person who presided over the ceremony of marrying Jiang Shen said that he would let everyone pool money to marry a beautiful woman for Jiang Shen.

Li Bing didn't allow it, he said: "I am the county guard, how can I let the people contribute." I have my own daughter. ”

Later, when it came to the festival, Li Bing dressed up his two daughters and threw them into the river, where the two women struggled but soon disappeared.

Li Bing saw that the two daughters had disappeared, he went straight to the throne of worshiping the god of the river, raised a glass of wine and said to the god of the river: "You got my daughter, then we should meet and toast each other with a glass of water and wine." ”

After Li Bing finished speaking, he drank all the wine in his hand, but the quilt wine dedicated to Jiang Shen was not touched at all. Li Bing said angrily: "Jiang Shen, are you despising me? ”

Then, Li Bing drew his sword, jumped into the river and disappeared.

After a while, everyone saw the river churning violently, and two big blue oxen rushed out of the water to fight on the water's bank.

I don't know how long later, the river level calmed down, Li Bing returned to the river bank, and said to his men: "I turned into a cow to fight the river god, but I didn't expect the river god to also turn into a green ox to fight with me, and the two of us fought a draw, regardless of victory or defeat." Wait a minute, I'll go and lure the river god out, this time I'll tie a white ribbon to my body, and you will prepare a strong bow and crossbow to shoot the green ox without a white ribbon. ”

After Li Bing finished giving the order, he rushed into the river again, and soon two green oxen ran out of the river, just like just now, the two oxen fought happily. Li Bing's men had already asked hundreds of soldiers to prepare powerful bows and crossbows, and shot at the green ox that the river god had turned into.

Soon, the green ox that Jiang Shen turned into was pierced through the heart by ten thousand arrows and fell to the ground and died.

Later, Li Bing shaped three stone figures to stand in the center of the river, and agreed with the spirits in the river that when the river was dry, it should not be lower than the instep of the stone man, and when the river water was surging, it should not exceed the shoulder of the stone man.

At the same time, Li Bing also specially carved five stone oxen and put them into the river to suppress the spirits in the river.

"What the hell is the god of the river? And isn't he dead in the legend? "After listening to Master's narration, I filled with a bunch of questions in my heart, since the story said that the green ox that Jiang Shen turned into was pierced by ten thousand arrows, and he couldn't die anymore, then what was the Jiang Shen that the female ghost in white said just now?

Master smiled and said, "This is just a story, and it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, but if there is such a thing as a river god, then you may have to find it from another legend." ”

Legend has it that a long time ago, there was a cowherd in this land, and the cowherd would go to cut the thatch every day, and one day he saw a thatch growing very luxuriantly, so he cut it, and the next day he found that the thatch that had been cut off had grown, and it was very good, and he cut it home again. For a few days, no matter how many times the cowherd had been cut, in short, as long as it took one night, the thatch would grow again.

The cowherd felt very strange, reached out and pulled up the thatch, and found that there was a crystal clear bead under the grass. He took the beads home and put them in the rice cupboard, and the next day the rice overflowed into the cupboard, and he put the beads in the money jar, and after the night the extra copper coins filled the whole jar.

The cowherd's mother was a kind-hearted old woman, so she asked the cowherd to give the extra rice and money to the poor people around herd. Later, I don't know how to be known by a local bully, the bully coveted this jewel, so he took a group of men to rob the cow baby, but how could the cow baby give this treasure to the bully, and put the treasure in his mouth in a hurry, but accidentally the treasure bead slipped down his throat into the belly of the cow baby, and he couldn't take it out again.

The bully beat the cowherd half to death in anger, and then went back in anger. In the middle of the night, the injured and bedridden cowherd suddenly shouted for water, and his mother scooped all the water at home for him to drink.

The cowherd baby still cried out that he was thirsty, and said that he wanted to go to the river to drink water, but his wife was not at ease, so she followed the cowherd baby to the river.

The cowherd baby was lying on the edge of the river and drinking the river water, and suddenly the whole sky was lightning and thunder, and lightning continued to fall.

The old lady who herded the cow baby saw that her son who was lying by the river drinking water suddenly changed, his body grew a piece of scale armor, two dragon horns protruded from the top of his head, and a handful of dragon whiskers were born on his chin.

When the cowherd saw her son turn into a scaly dragon, looking at her son who was swimming in the water and swimming farther and farther, she couldn't help shouting, "Son, when will you come back?" ”

When the dragon heard his mother's words, he turned around and shouted, "If I want to go home, unless the stones bloom and the horses grow!" ”

The cowherd baby knew that his son would never come back, and couldn't help but feel sad from the heart, standing on a boulder and shouting his son's name to the distant dragon, the dragon heard his mother's words in the water, so he raised his head and looked back, and the place where it looked back became a beach, and then his mother shouted twenty-four, and the dragon turned back twenty-four times, and there were twenty four beaches in that place, which was called "twenty-four Wangniang beaches" by the people. ”

And the giant dragon ran into the Min River, stirring up waves, and asked the surrounding people to send a pair of boys and girls to him every year, and became a notorious evil dragon.

Later, Li Bing entered Shu and heard about the notoriety of the evil dragon, so he asked his son Li Erlang to surrender the evil dragon. Li Erlang has a strange skill, and he fights with the evil dragon endlessly, fighting to the death.

The evil dragon couldn't beat Li Erlang, so he fled in all directions and ran into the Qingcheng Mountain. It met an old woman who sold noodles at the Wangpo Rock in Qingcheng Mountain, and the dragon fought for a long time, and she was hungry in her belly, so she changed into a big man who traveled the mountains and begged the old woman for food. Without saying a word, the old woman made a bowl of noodles for the dragon.

But who knows, as soon as the dragon ate the noodles into his stomach, the noodles that had just entered his stomach became an iron chain with hooks, and the iron chains hooked the heart, lungs, intestines and stomach of the evil dragon, and it was so painful that it arched and showed its original form, and fell to the ground and rolled on the ground.

And the old woman who made noodles for him to eat also showed her true body, it was the queen mother of heaven who descended to earth to help Li Erlang descend the dragon, so the place where the queen mother sold noodles was called Wang Po Rock, and the mark left by the dragon rolling on the ground was called "Rolling Dragon Groove".

Li Erlang quickly arrived, grabbed the iron chain that stretched out from the mouth of the evil dragon, he led the evil dragon to the Fulong Pond under the pile of Dujiangyan, and locked it on a dragon descending iron pillar there, and later built a temple above the suppression of the evil dragon, called Fulong Temple.

After the master told me these two legends about Dujiangyan, he sat on the steps and said in a low voice: "Old man Li said that the strange things that have happened in Chengdu and Dujiangyan recently, what zombies, ghosts, water monkeys and other evil things, all related to Dujiangyan, I was still wondering what is under Dujiangyan, but I didn't expect that the white-clothed female ghost actually said the word 'Jiangshen', then I am afraid it will have something to do with the two legends of Dujiangyan." ”

"But that's just a legend after all! How is it possible for a man to become a dragon, or even a mythical Queen Mother? What the hell is this under Dujiangyan, could it really be ......" Master's voice became lower and lower, and his face was dazed.

As I sat on the sidelines and listened quietly to Master's story, the first thing that came to my mind was the underwater eyes I saw in that dreamlike experience, the big scarlet eyes, and the black gas behind him.

It's just why, whenever I think of those eyes, a deep sadness wells up in my heart?
