Chen Jing stood for a while, and in the moonlight, he was dressed in the coarse linen clothes of a fisherman's family, and he was holding a long sword wrapped in old clothes.

After a while, he said: "Immortal Dao, what you cultivate is physical and mental freedom, and you can get the god position, even if you can live forever, you will be subject to the heavenly court for the rest of your life, how can it compare to the free and easy journey of the North Sea in the twilight." "

After he finished speaking, he walked away, letting the old man shout in the river temple, and still heard the old man's voice when he walked away: "It is said that those who refine swords must be affectionate and sexual, but today it seems that he is an indifferent and unsympathetic person." "

Chen Jing, who had already reached the shadow under the river embankment, paused obviously, and then strode forward again, only to disappear into the night after a while.

The river god in the river temple opened his mouth, but finally did not say anything more and disappeared into the mist.

Chen Jing looked up at the sky, the moon had sunk in the west, the east was getting white, but the earth was still gray, and in the silence, he felt extremely depressed.

Walking all the way forward, I remembered the words of the old swordsman in my heart: "If you want to learn the sword, you must have persistence in your heart, no matter what you insist on, you must persevere, even if it is unreasonable in the eyes of others." ”

He didn't know what he was, he wanted to rid the people of the village, but it caused them trouble, maybe disaster. Thinking of this, two people approached in the distance, one dressed as a fisherman and the other in a wizard's costume.

From afar, I only heard the man dressed as a fisherman say: "Hey, I don't know which mountain the cultivators are on, and they don't leave after being rescued by us, but they want to provoke the carp spirit in the river." There have been so many Dao Immortal Masters who have cultivated in the mountains who want to subdue it, but in the end, they all failed, which time is not our Heqian Village and Junling Town to bear the wrath of the carp spirit. "

"Five years ago, there was a monk from Huayuan Mountain, who claimed to have high magic power, heard that there were demons in the river, and threatened to collect demons, but he didn't think about it, but he fled for his life without fighting, and then the carp spirit was angry, and flooded my village in front of the river, and finally we sacrificed four children to calm down, hey......"

"Three years ago, there was also a monk who called himself Moerling passing by, saying that he saw a strong demonic aura in the river, and he left after a day of spell fighting with the carp, and we sacrificed six children to calm the anger of the carp spirit."

"If there is such a thing, don't they care?"

"They cultivators, each of them regard their own lives as the most important, and when they encounter incapable opponents, they escape faster than rabbits."

"Hey......"

With two heavy sighs, the two had already approached, one of them looked at Chen Jing, and Chen Jing faintly felt resentment in his eyes.

He looked at Chen Jing and staggered over.

Chen Jing didn't stop, and heard another voice behind him: "Sure enough, it's the same as the previous two, halfway." The patriarch asked me to invite you to preside over the sacrificial ceremony yesterday, and that's right. Hey, this time I don't know how many people to sacrifice the carp essence, Yan Laosan and Luo Niang can't survive now. "

Chen Jingzhi paused slightly, turned around to look, and saw that the two had already walked away, and in the night, although the back was straight, it was cut extremely thin by the moonlight that was about to disappear.

When he heard about the carp spirit's misfortune, he was furious and wanted to kill the carp spirit to save his life, and then leave, but he couldn't kill him for three nights, so he had no choice but to leave, thinking that he would definitely return here one day. I just didn't expect to cause such a big trouble to the people by the river.

In the darkness of the night, the eyes that had been flat since waking up had changed.

But what can you do even if you go back, the carp spirit is already invincible when hiding in the river, and what can you do even if you go back.

As soon as he turned his head and walked away, the morning breeze was a little chilly.

Before entering Qianluo Mountain, he was also a Confucian disciple who read the books of sages, and now he can't help but think of a sentence, if you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you don't have that ability, you shouldn't do that kind of thing.

It is getting farther and farther away from Xiuchun Bend, and goes straight to the direction of Qianluo Mountain in the impression.

Suddenly, there was a faint thunderous sound in his ears, like the collapse of mountains and rivers, and there was a rampant noise among them, and his figure stopped, and his eyes were cold.

The sky is just dawning, a ray of eastern sunlight through the horizon sprinkled on the Xiuchun bend of the river, the picturesque beautiful river bend in front of the river temple, there are more than 100 people gathered there, all of them sad and fearful.

They looked at the windless waves on the river, at the raging whirlpools, and their hearts were afraid. Among the more than 100 people, there are two people who are tied, these two people are Daddy Yan and Yan Luoniang.

Father Yan seemed to be prepared, but he looked at his daughter Yan Luoniang with sadness in his eyes, and he regretted in his heart that he didn't throw Chen Jing back into the water at that time, so that he affected the entire Heqian Village, and he was so tired that his daughter was about to lose her life.

And Yan Luoniang's face was quite calm, when she asked Chen Jing three times in a row who was responsible for the battle between Chen Jing and the carp spirit, she knew that if Chen Jing was negative, she and her father would be sacrificed to the river, but Chen Jing didn't see that she had any abnormalities, maybe because she left every time she asked, and the time was too short.

The whole scene was very quiet, probably used to such sacrifices.

The sorcerer who presided over the sacrificial ceremony came, three birds and six animals, and the incense burner was laid down, and more than 100 people all knelt on the ground, and the sorcerer danced and danced in front of him, chanting and singing the sacrificial words in his mouth.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang, as if even the river embankment shook, and a huge carp emerged from the water, rose into the air, rolled the waves, and then dived into the river.

The people in front of the river temple hurriedly bowed down, and they all recited the sacrificial scriptures, obviously very familiar with the sacrificial procedures.

The sun slowly rose, and the sorcerer shouted to the sky, "Sacrifice to the river god." "

The three birds and six animals were driven into the river, and Father Yan and Yan Luoniang walked into the water, and they didn't say anything, because they did this to appease the anger of the carp spirit in the river and save the lives of the entire people in the village in front of the river.

The two of them walked step by step into the river, and the people on the shore just watched silently, no one made a sound, and there were a few children standing beside their parents, they were also going to sacrifice when the anger of the carp spirit could not be subdued, but they themselves did not know, and looked curiously at the father and daughter walking towards the river step by step.

Three birds and six animals, chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cows, and dogs, struggled in the river, and they also felt death, and their chirpings and roars were all sad.

Behind the animals were two silent people, one old and one young, a man and a woman. One of them, the sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, glanced back, and finally there was a nostalgia for life in her calm eyes, and her eyes slid over the familiar villagers behind her, and landed in the river temple, and then looked up at the sky, and there were birds hovering in the sky.

Many years ago, when she was a child, she had seen other people of her age sacrificed into the river, and for so many years, she had been waiting for this day to fall on her.

She didn't know if she should resent Chen Jing, looked at the sky, and thought to herself: "I hope to be a bird in the next life, able to fly freely in the sky." "

Slowly close your eyes.

A huge whirlpool appeared on the surface of the river in front of them, and the three birds and six animals were instantly swallowed by the river.

Immediately after, a huge fish head appeared on the surface of the water, its eyes were golden, the size of a lantern, and the eyes were full of coldness.

The demonic aura was pervasive, and everyone standing on the shore felt a fishy wind rushing in, their shoulders were heavy, and they fell to their knees in unison.

The carp essence opened up like a cave, and as soon as you open your mouth and suck it, the father and daughter of the Yan family will be swallowed into your mouth.

Everything happened in silent silence, and the child in front of the river temple was covered with his mouth covered.

The sun was shining in the sky, and a mist appeared in the river temple, and there was a gray-haired old man faintly inside. The people in front of the river temple didn't know that he had appeared in the last two sacrifices to the fish demon in the river, and as a river god, he watched the people in the water and soil of the side he protected sacrifice monsters.

At this moment, a screaming sound suddenly sounded in the ears of the people in Heqian Village, and a sword in the distance dragged out a dazzling white light, which came from far away, shining in the sunlight, and the murderous aura was overflowing.

Before everyone could look up at the sky, the sword had already stabbed into the fish spirit in the river.

The sword dragged out an extremely long phantom and flashed down from the sky.

The carp spirit seemed unprepared, and hurriedly spewed out a wave of water, and at the same time dived into the river, the sword deftly drew an arc to avoid the waves, and with a lightning stab on the water, the river waves rose in shock, and the sword soared into the air, avoiding the waves that swept up.

A piercing scream sounded in the river, and this scream was accompanied by a strong demonic aura. At the same time, a ball of red blood swelled up, and at this moment, a person stepped into the air, walked on the water, lifted the Yan father and daughter, and flew back to the river temple.

Everyone looked at this person who injured the carp essence, their hearts were complicated, of course they hoped that he could kill the carp essence, but he had obviously been fighting with the carp essence for a few days, and he couldn't kill it at all, thinking of the consequences, fear and worry instantly surged in his heart.

It was Chen Jing who came, and he didn't look at them, but just wiped a little blood from the tip of the sword in his hand. The cultivator's keen perception made him feel the gaze of everyone behind him, everyone was behind him, and he couldn't see his face, but he heard him say, "I will kill the carp spirit and then leave." "

Everyone didn't say anything, the patriarch stepped forward, wanted to say something, glanced at the river again, and finally sighed and left with everyone. In his heart, Chen Jing couldn't kill the carp essence, which could be seen from the night three days ago. It's just that he doesn't know when he will leave, and when he leaves, Heqian Village will bear the heavier anger of the carp spirit, but deep down, he hopes that Chen Jing can really kill the carp spirit, so he didn't speak in the end.

"Anyway, it's going to be sacrificed, what's the difference between an earlier and a little later, it's just one or two more lives." The patriarch thought helplessly.

Everyone left, Daddy Yan pulled Yan Luoniang away, but Yan Luoniang didn't leave. He stood beside Chen Jing and could see the murderous aura in the depths of Chen Jing's eyes, although it was hidden deeply, it was captured by her.
