Chapter 56: The River God Is Difficult
Jiang Renbao can just see the group of people from the angle where he is standing here, but if that group of people doesn't go to see it deliberately, it will be difficult to find Jiang Renbao.
As time went on, the group grew louder and seemed to start arguing.
Even if Jiang Renbao didn't want to eavesdrop, the voice began to actively drill into his ears.
"My family and servants can testify that I have been at home these days, and I have not left the door, how can I steal your child? How can I steal your child! I am sick!"
Then there was a muffled sound accompanied by a scream, and it should have been two people fighting together.
......
Originally, Jiang Renbao didn't want to hear it, but when he heard that it was related to the loss of the child, he couldn't help but prick up his ears.
"The surname Sun is unfounded, how can you frame me so brazenly!
"Okay, okay, don't fight! The old grandson is also anxious, plus you have a monk at home, how can you not make people suspicious!" someone next to him persuaded.
"What bullshit! Do I keep monks? You don't have a monk? What about your family? And you! Why don't you suspect you!"
"Alright, you all don't argue!
For a moment, everyone fell silent.
Jiang Renbao withdrew his body back, trying to hide his body behind the dock, only exposing a small half of his head to ensure that one eye could see the other party.
Although the other party couldn't feel the breath on his body, just in case, Jiang Renbao still closed all the pores on his body surface to prevent the aura from leaking out.
I saw the wizard standing at the front standing silently, motionless.
Then one of his attendants stepped forward and came to the wizard's side, earing it to the wizard's mouth.
Although his voice was weak, Jiang Renbao kept staring at the other party's mouth, but ......
He found that the other party didn't seem to speak the native language of the Kongsang Continent, and the sorcerer's mouth shape did not match the mouth shape of the language he spoke.
I rub!
Jiang Renbao scolded secretly, but he felt that the wizard's entourage should play the role of translator.
So he withdrew his gaze and waited quietly.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the voice of the attendant to sound: "The wizard said, you still have three days to go! If you can't prepare the tribute, the river god may be angry again, and then it won't be a simple matter to end! The wizard doesn't care whose children you are! Always, there are only three days." In three days, the wizard will be waiting for you at the junction of the Qingluo River and the Surabaya River! If no one comes, don't blame the wizard for being ruthless! His time is precious, and he won't waste his time here because of your stinky money!"
"What! is the wizard leaving?" said someone in surprise.
"Okay, okay, don't worry, Wizard, we'll find a pair of twins to give to the River God in three days!"
With the compliments of the merchants, the strange-dressed man, known as the wizard-sama, boarded the boat accompanied by his attendant, who was also dressed in a strange costume.
The strange thing is that when they got on the boat, the boat did not go down the water, but against the current.
The boat faded away and sailed out of everyone's sight.
"I have a suggestion, everyone's eyes should not always focus on Yongfeng County, you can find the villages in the vicinity of ten miles and eight townships, three days is more than enough!"
"Yes, yes! Now the government guards the county seat too strictly, and I am afraid that we will be arrested if there is a little trouble! Besides, if the previous loss of the child was really not done by one of us, then I am afraid that there is still a secret force doing the same thing as us!"
"Alright! Time is precious, hurry up and split up!"
And for a time the crowd dispersed as birds and beasts.
"River God, eat children?" Jiang Renbao looked at the quietly flowing river, "Wizard?"
Jiang Renbao felt that this was like a plot written by the Wind and Thunder Ancestor.
"Three days! I'll meet you then!"
Jiang Renbao left the banks of the Surabaya River.
He didn't notice that at the bottom of the murky river, there was a beautiful woman, wrapped in long hair, holding the Biyue Qiushui Sword in her arms, staring at him coldly.
"This person looks familiar!
After becoming the god of the Surabaya River, Jiang Yuhe has begun to gradually lose the memories of the past, and the only one who remembers clearly is her son, Chen Hanzhi.
In fact, Jiang Yuhe, who was appointed as the god of the Surabaya River by the national teacher, was not having a good time.
Because there has always been a hegemon in the Surabaya River.
It is an octopus spirit that has been cultivated for thousands of years and has begun to take on a human form.
Further down the surface of the Surabaya River lies an underwater palace built by an unknown person, and this octopus spirit lives here, along with dozens of shrimp soldiers and crab generals.
Some time ago, it rained heavily, the water level soared, and the spirits that had been lurking under the bottom of the Surabaya River began to become active, and they went out of the palace to hunt the people who fell into the water.
And Jiang Yuhe met them unexpectedly when he rescued the people who fell into the water.
Her imprint as a river god had been deeply imprinted in Jiang Yuhe's heart, so how could she allow other spirits to appear in the jurisdiction under her control.
So, she stepped forward to preach, trying to persuade those spirits not to hurt people's lives.
But the spirits were willing to listen to her, so they didn't say a word and started to move.
At first, Jiang Yuhe could still deal with some lowly cultivation spirits, but when the octopus spirit appeared, Jiang Yuhe was difficult to defeat his opponent.
Fortunately, with the protection of the Dao weapon Biyue Qiushui Sword, Jiang Yuhe was able to save his life.
In this way, the two sides have fallen into a stalemate, and the inside has no way to take the outside, and the outside can't beat the inside.
Yesterday, the national teacher came to find Jiang Yuhe to ask her about her situation in recent days, and asked Jiang Yuhe to grow up as soon as possible.
Otherwise, when the time comes, if the octopus monster cannot be eliminated, Jiang Yuhe is likely to die and his soul will be scattered.
Jiang Yuhe knew at that moment that it was not so easy to be a river god.
......
......
Jiang Renbao walked out of the dock and happened to run into the patrolling soldiers.
"Stop!" the soldiers, a total of seven people, quickly surrounded Jiang Renbao in the middle, "What are you doing here alone!
Jiang Renbao said mysteriously: "Brothers, I actually followed a group of businessmen here, they were illegally gathering around here, and they were even plotting something! If you don't believe it, I'll take you there!
"Really?" the eyes of the soldier at the head lit up.
"A gentleman's words are hard to chase!" Jiang Renbao swore an oath, and then urged, "Hurry up, or they will all run away!"
"Let's go!"
The seven followed Jiang Renbao all the way and finally caught a businessman.
"Why are you arresting me? I'm here because our dog ran to the river to bathe, so I'm here to find him!"
"Someone reported you for an illegal assembly, saying who else is your accomplice!"
"My lord, who reported it, you let him come out! I confronted him face to face!" The arrested man looked unconvinced.
"That's him...... What about people?"
Here and now, where is Jiang Renbao's figure.
