"Well, you wild Taoist dare to underestimate this god, this god can raise the wind and lead the rain, when you are angry, you can flood the river for dozens of miles, within a radius of thirty miles, sacrifice to the god every year, pray every year, you know the little Taoist." The carp spirit in the river seemed to be irritated by Chen Jing's faint tone and words.

Chen Jing frowned, and said coldly: "You don't have the opportunity to meditate and cultivate, but you make waves and claim to be gods, you really don't know the height of the sky." "

The carp spirit said indifferently: "This god has even killed the river god, what are you afraid of, that day the god thought that you were dead, otherwise how would you be allowed to go ashore." Quickly left, provoked the god to rise, and flooded the river temple. "

Chen Jing's hand holding the sword tightened slightly, and the sword body trembled, but it regained its calm. He didn't say anything more, just looked at the mighty river.

Under the beautiful scene, there is often a deadly danger, and the carp spirit is hidden in this picturesque river.

All things have spirits, plants, trees, fish and insects, flowers, birds, beasts and stones all have the possibility of attaining the Tao, and it is not surprising that there are carp in the river.

When the sky was bright, Yan Luoniang came to the river temple with a group of children, wanting to hear Chen Jing tell some fairy stories, and wanted Chen Jing to perform spells to show them.

Chen Jing asked them if they had ever seen a monster.

As soon as his words came out, they fell silent.

Chen Jing squinted slightly, and then asked, "You all know that there is carp essence in the river, right?" "Although I said you, my eyes looked at Yan Luoniang.

Yan Luoniang looked at the big river under the River God Temple, and then looked at the statue of the River God, and then replied, "I know." "

Suddenly, they all looked at Chen nodded and said that they had seen it.

But another child whispered: "Daddy said that it is not a carp spirit, but a river god." "

In an instant, one by one stopped talking.

Seeing them like this, how could Chen Jing not know that they were already carp spirits and river gods.

"It's not a river god, it's a carp spirit. If it were a river god, it wouldn't have to sacrifice a virgin boy and a virgin every year. "

Yan Luoniang suddenly looked up at the half-missing river god statue, her voice was not heavy, but there was deep resentment in her tone.

Chen Jing was slightly shocked in his heart, last night he heard the carp spirit say about the annual sacrifice, he thought it was a sacrifice of three birds and six animals, but he didn't expect it to be a sacrifice of a living person, and a killing intent suddenly surged in his heart. He excused himself by saying that he wanted to practice and let everyone leave. And he sat in the river temple to refine the sword body with spiritual breath, and he decided to kill the carp spirit, and then leave, which can be regarded as a removal of a harm, and it can be regarded as a return of kindness.

The moon is white, and the sky and earth are covered with silver frost. At night, the people of Heqian Village were awakened by the sound of the surging waves, and they didn't care at first, only it was raining that day, but after listening to it for a while, they understood that it was not at all, and there was a piercing scream in the surging waves, as well as a strange and dazzling noise.

"It's the fish demon in the river getting angry." Many people immediately thought in their minds.

The more daring ones came out to look for high ground and looked in the direction of the river temple, only to see a man standing in the moonlight in front of the river temple, paddling in front of him with one hand, as if writing and painting in the air, and on the river there was a fish the size of a fishing boat churning. In the sky above the fish, there was a sword shrouded in a faint white light, swimming in the moonlight, the sword was like a fish-eating bird, stabbing down from the sky, retreating, and stabbing down, extremely agile.

And when the giant fish in the river stabbed down with the sword light, it set off a huge wave and instantly retracted into the water.

How could they not know that it was Chen Jing, but at this time, they were all frightened or worried in their hearts, afraid that Chen Jing would anger the carp spirit, and that it would flood their village. Fear is fear, but deep down he hopes that Chen Jing can really kill the carp spirit.

The battle lasted until almost dawn, and the next day no one dared to enter the river to fish for the whole day.

It wasn't until noon that Yan Luoniang came to the front of the River Temple, she looked at Chen Jing who was sitting on the ground of the River Temple meditating with her eyes closed, and when Chen Jing opened her eyes, she immediately asked in surprise: "It turns out that you really know how to spell." After that, he pointed to the sword on Chen Jing's knee and said, "Your sword can fly, like lightning." "

Chen Jing smiled, but said, "What did the people in your village ask you to ask?" "

Yan Luoniang's surprised look disappeared immediately, lowered her head slightly, and said in a low voice: "Everyone asked me to ask you, who died last night." "

Chen Jing was not surprised at all, and said with a smile: "No one won last night. "

Yan Luoniang sighed, sat for a while, and stopped talking, but Chen Jing had already closed her eyes, and after standing for a while, she turned around and ran towards the river embankment.

Chen Jing sat quietly to nourish his spirits and raised his sword with spiritual rest.

At night, the moonlight was like frost, and there was a person standing in front of the river temple, and with a wave of his hand, a light like a match broke through the sky and pierced straight to the river.

Another night of terrifying waves, and the river was overflowing.

The next day, Yan Luoniang ran early in the morning, she didn't say anything else, and asked directly: "Who wins and who loses?" "

"There are no wins or losses." Chen Jing replied.

On the evening of the third day, the moon was fuller, and the heavens and the earth were as bright as day, and the silver light was spreading, and the moon was like frost.

This time, the sound of the river waves crashing on the shore became louder and louder, and from time to time I didn't hear the strange laughter in the river, as well as the faint sound of swords, in the distant highlands, there were naturally more people watching, and the people from several villages by the river, regardless of men, women, and children, almost all came to watch.

I saw a sword in the sky disappearing, flashing away, one moment in front, one moment behind, sometimes it seemed to be split in two, and sometimes it dragged out a long ray of light and slashed down.

The waves on the river surface rolled up a few feet high, and a huge fish sank in the river, turning the river into the sea.

It was not yet dawn, and the battle had just ended, and Yan Luoniang came.

Chen Jing saw her somewhat evasive eyes, his heart sank slightly, and he only heard her say: "The patriarch asked me to ask you, how sure are you that you can defeat." "

Chen Jing didn't answer, that carp essence has profound mana, and he has been enlightened for a hundred years, if he didn't know any spells, Chen Jing would not have been able to fight with him for so long.

Yan Luoniang saw that Chen Jing didn't speak, and said, "The patriarch said that if you recover from your injuries, please leave." She looked at Chen Jing, although after saying this, Chen Jing's face did not change much, but she didn't know why she felt that he must be very uncomfortable.

She knew that Chen Jing wanted to get rid of the monsters in the river, but she couldn't do it after trying her best for three days, and if she was the patriarch, she would definitely not ask him to leave.

Chen Jing closed his eyes slightly, and after a while, he sighed, "Okay." The voice was a little muffled.

He knew what everyone was worried about, and he wanted to kill the carp essence that was a disaster before, but he couldn't kill it because of his mana, and he couldn't do it even after fighting for three days, and he couldn't do it with all his might, and it would be useless to fight again.

When Yan Luoyan ran down the river temple, Chen Jing wrapped his sword in the ragged clothes he wore before, stood in front of the river temple and looked at the undulating river, feeling the strong smell of the river breeze, sighed in his heart, turned around and left.

Suddenly, a faint smoke rose from the river temple, getting thicker and thicker, and Chen Jing frowned and stopped. In the thick fog, an old man suddenly stepped down from the statue of the river god, holding a one-man tall dark wooden staff, and the clothes on his body were exactly the same as those carved on the statue of the river god. His hair was pale, and he looked as if a gust of wind could blow him up.

The old man shouted, "Gongzi Chen, go slowly." "

Chen Jing stood in the moonlight, looked at it in surprise, and the old man said again: "Why did Chen Gongzi leave in such a hurry. "

"What if I don't leave?" Chen Jing felt a special aura from him, not the lightness of a cultivator, nor the demonic aura, but the feeling of seeing the heavens, the earth, the mountains, the rivers and the grass and trees.

He suddenly thought of the gods of heaven and earth, only the gods of mountains and rivers in the world would have this kind of aura. This made him think of the city god who besieged the Thousand Gates, but the city god was much higher than the god of the river.

"There are carp spirits in this river, does Chen Gongzi really watch him cause trouble to the world?"

Chen Jing looked back at the surface of the river and said, "I heard that the river god was still killed by this carp essence back then, and I have only been practicing for three years, how can I be worthy of the hundred years of mana of the carp essence." "

The old man in the river temple was slightly stunned, and then sighed, but he didn't speak for a while, Chen Jing looked up and saw that the moon in the sky had sunk in the west. Turning and walking, he walked down the embankment of the night.

At this moment, another voice came from the river temple behind him: "Chen Gongzi, are you willing to protect this side of the water and soil." "

Chen Jing stopped, looked back, and saw that the old man was standing by the door of the River Temple, and his body, which seemed to be blown away by a gust of wind, actually had a heavy feeling at this time.

"If you have this ability, you are naturally willing to protect the water and soil." Chen Jing replied, turned around and walked away again.

"Chen Gongzi walk slowly, I think you also know who I am, I only ask you, are you willing to receive the river god's talisman to protect the water and soil."

Chen Jing stopped again, the old man continued, and said: "The old man is the river god of the Xiuchun Bend River Basin, he was injured by an evil Jiao a hundred years ago, and only recovered slightly after fifty years, but he was defeated by the carp spirit in the river. "

Chen Jing couldn't help but think of a book he read in Qianluo Mountain, which read: "It is rumored that three thousand years ago, the Emperor Haotian of Heavenly Court divided the gods of the world and determined the grade of immortals. "

"Is that true?" Chen Jing thought in his heart, but he just smiled slightly, and said: "If you get the god position, you will be subject to the edict for the rest of your life, and I will cultivate the immortal path." The words fell, and he turned around and was about to leave.

The old man in the river temple said quickly: "The old man still has a word, Chen Gongzi walks slowly." "

Chen Jingjing stood on the edge of the river embankment, and the old man said: "If you get the god position, you can live with heaven and earth, and cultivating the immortal path is at most to cultivate immortality, there is no difference, and the immortal path is difficult to achieve, why is Chen Gongzi willing to seek the near and far?" "
