Seeing Qi Jingzhi take the chicken wings, the smile on his face was even bigger, and when he heard the young man's words, the essence in his eyes was just put away, and he smiled: "Little brother is really extraordinary! It's just that since the old and decayed are the lords and they are the servants, the little ones should respect me a little, but they can't talk about the word "sacrifice."

Wei Yingdian listened to the conversation between the two in his ears, and even forgot to chew the chicken in his mouth for a while, and suddenly a sentence came out: "This sacrificial ceremony of Qu Azhen is really unique......

Hearing this, Otter Gong and Qi Jingzhi turned their heads to look at him at the same time, and looked away in unison.

Qi Jingzhi groaned for a while, and then asked bluntly, "I don't think the otter is a greedy and arrogant person, but I heard that only the otter can fish and sell fish here, I don't know why?"

Hearing the young man's question, the otter had no color on his face, as if he had expected this, but he did not rush to answer, but stood up and shouted at the otters on the shore, "Go!"

The little ones immediately gathered the whole team and plopped into the water again.

A few people in the crowd not far away immediately went to pick the river fish, and after a short time, most of them were packed, leaving only a few small ones that were not in good condition.

Qi Jingzhi saw that these people were all dressed as men, and he didn't give money, so he saluted the otter and went away happily, only one of them had not filled the barrel, and stood at the end of the crowd again.

At this moment, the wine shop hurried over with a jar of wine, two bowls and two oiled paper packets, and couldn't help but show disappointment when he saw this.

The otter took the wine and meat, handed him back the empty fish basket, and raised his hand and pointed to the people who were waiting, "You stand at the front."

Xiao Er of the wine shop showed joy on his face at this time, and hurriedly thanked him and left.

Otter Gongfu sat down again, put the wine and meat in front of Qi Jingzhi, shook his head and smiled: "Little brother neither drinks nor eats meat, I think I think that if the old man is a bully who oppresses the township, but you eat my short mouth, it won't be easy to turn your face?"

Qi Jingzhi nodded without hesitation: "When the otter was sacrificed before, I saw the five colors of heaven and earth circulate and each has its own home, so I finally determined that the otter has nothing to do with this Xun River, but is deeply involved with Qu'a Hou Lake. In this way, the otter has neither the ability nor the need to monopolize the fish in this Xun River, and I have doubts in my heart."

When the otter man heard this, he looked at the young man with a little surprise in his eyes: "Although the little brother is young, he has a unique vision, and he must be a man with a big background. It's really disrespectful to live in the countryside and not see the real person for a long time!"

Although he said this, he neither got up to salute, nor did he ask about the origin of the young man's identity, and he still looked like a leisurely fisherman: "It's not a secret, it's really not that the old man wants to do this unique business, it's really the one who lives in this section of the river nearby."

The otter paused and added, "Don't say it's human, even those wild otters who are cruel by nature and waste their catches have long been driven out by that one, and only those who have been domesticated by the old can go into the water, but they can't catch more every day, otherwise there will be retribution."

Qi Jingzhi couldn't help frowning: "If the Xunjiang Water God doesn't allow it, it should be that the entire Xunjiang River is forbidden to fishing, since this rule is only near Qu'a Town, it can be seen that the one in the mouth of the otter is not very powerful, is no one care?"

The Otter Gong shook his head: "The counties and counties divide the water of the Xun River into a lake, although it is beneficial to both sides in the long run, but in the first few years, the Xun River will suffer some losses, so it is impossible not to compensate. No one wants to fish, and it only involves such a small section of water, so naturally no one wants to care about such a trivial matter."

Qi Jingzhi was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't expect that Qu'a Town would have this rule of not fishing and selling fish, which was neither a deception by the otter to dominate the market, nor was it completely a victim of the water monsters in the Xun River, but it was actually one of the costs of Xunyang County to open up Qu'a Hou Lake, and even got the tacit approval of the county officials.

As for the people of Qu'a Town, although they can't fish, they have benefited from the flood control and irrigation of Qu'a Hou Lake, in addition to the people's peaceful residence and the benefits of farmland, but also because of the ancient well spring water, which accidentally gave birth to the famous brewing business in a state.

Thinking of this, Qi Jingzhi thought about it again

Just looking at what he saw, a thought suddenly came to his heart.

He hesitated slightly, but still asked, "Does the Otter Gong want to occupy the divine position of Qu'a Hou Lake?"

Wei Yingdian, who was on the side, had long been unable to eat and drink, and was listening attentively, when he suddenly heard this sentence, he was dumbfounded.

"How can you be old and decayed, how dare you covet the divine position?"

The otter glanced at the young man, turned his head to look at the Xun River not far away, and said something unexpected: "I have been here for many years, but I am just guarding the gate for the old county. The fame and hard work of the old man's life are all tied to that lake, how can it be easy to cheapen the Xunjiang Water Tribe? He is old and dies as a god, and he will be able to retire when he is old!"

Qi Jingzhi's heart shook when he heard this, it turned out that not only the mountain gods were gradually declining, but even the authority of the gods of the Water Mansion, the Great Qi Imperial Court was also trying its best to divide the profits, even if the original rivers and lakes could not be interfered with, they had to build a new lake.

In order to expand their own strength, there is naturally no shortage of people who are willing to cooperate with the imperial court, and the Xunjiang water god is an example, even if the new lake god will sit on the throne in the future is the person designated by the imperial court, but the area that the Xunjiang water system can influence is indeed growing.

On the other hand, on the side of the human race, the position of the lake god of Qujiang Houhu is not only a reward given by the lord of the Great Qi to the former county guard, but also a chess piece laid by the imperial court in the Xunjiang series, no matter how you look at it, it is extremely cost-effective.

In such a situation, it is only natural that the Xunjiang Water God sent a subordinate who is not very good at talking, sitting outside the mouth of the Qujiang Houhu Lake, just a rule that fishing is not allowed, and the court has already benefited from Xunyang County, where would you care about such details?

As for the otter in front of him, although he is not the future god of the lake, it is extremely easy to be a water god like Meng Fuzi after death.

Qi Jingzhi finished thinking about it, and immediately raised his hand to the jujube sac on the ground: "Since the otter has the responsibility of guarding the water mansion, he must know a lot about the spirits near Qu'a Hou Lake. This bag of dates was lost outside my room last night by a child, who is four feet tall and wears a red dress, I don't know what the origin is?"

Wei Yingdian had never heard Qi Jingzhi talk about this festival, and it was actually related to the jujube concubine's jujubes, so he was surprised and immediately came to his senses, staring at the otter with blazing eyes.

As he spoke, more than a dozen otters had resurfaced, and the wonders of the previous otter sacrifice had reappeared.

The otter and the waiting crowd also repeated the previous process, and it was orderly from beginning to end.

The otter who just got up and shouted again sat down slowly, and for the first time there was a look of hesitation on his face.

He thought for a moment before replying, "Although I know the origin of that child, it is a private matter, so it is not good to talk nonsense. There is only one thing that the old man said, that is, since the birth of that child, no one has starved to death in the vicinity of Qu'a Town."

"Whether it is a passer-by or a local villager, if someone is dying of hunger, he will definitely come out and feed him with dates to continue his life, and over time the countryside will call him to feed the boy with dates. Although the old man didn't know why he left this jujube bag outside the little brother's door, there was absolutely no malice. In the future, when the god of the lake returns to his place and the temple is completed, among the gods who accompany the sacrifice in the temple, there will be a place for this boy who feeds the jujube!"

These words show that although the otter did not reveal the origin of feeding the jujube boy, the meaning of protection is extremely obvious.

Qi Jingzhi nodded clearly, and then said thoughtlessly: "There really are sages in this world who have no bad karma and no dust in their hearts!"

When Wei Yingdian heard this, he was stupid for a while, and then his face faintly showed a little shame.

The Otter Gong looked at Qi Jing deeply, smiled with relief, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "There are naturally such sages in this world! In fact, it is the one in the river, and it is quite desirable......

He still had to talk about it in detail, and suddenly the color of the ground changed, and he turned his head to look at the lower reaches of the Xun River.

Qi Jingzhi and Wei Yingdian also looked at it, and saw a fleet of ships tracing the river from west to east.

The fleet consisted of a clipper at the head and two boats at the back, with a huge fishing net towed between the two adjacent boats.

Wei Yingdian listened

The otter told the ins and outs of the fishing ban in Qu'a Town, and when he saw this, he couldn't help but look at the lake keeper, his face was very strange.

The eyes of the two of them, Otter Gong and Qi Jingzhi, were firmly fixed on the clipper at the head.

On the bow of the boat, a goddess dressed in colorful clothes and wearing a bright flower crown was dancing, her posture was strange and twisted, and at the same time she was still shouting something loudly, but there was still a distance between them, and it was really hard to hear.

As the clipper got closer and closer, I saw that the river around it suddenly seemed to be boiling, and countless fish and turtles emerged one after another, all facing the direction of the clipper, densely covering the river, and let the fleet following the clipper open their nets to fish.

At the same time, the river not far from the three of them also rolled, and more than a dozen otters scrambled to climb ashore, ran to the front of the three of them, and pointed to the fleet on the river, squeaking in anger.

When he saw this strange scene, the otter stood up slowly, made a gesture to the little ones, and then pointed to the caves in the crevices on the shore, "Go back!"

The dozen or so otters immediately picked up the river fish scattered on the ground, and immediately lined up in several rows, and burrowed back to the cave without any confusion.

The otter walked over and inserted the pheasant tails he had pulled out one by one back in front of the cave, and then turned to look at the river.

There was no trace of anger and panic on his face, but he sneered again and again: "These people are so bold and reckless, they dare to curse fish and turtles in these waters, I am afraid that they will be unlucky!"

Sure enough, not long after the remarks of the otter were spoken, a huge whirlpool suddenly appeared on the surface of the Xunjiang River, blocking in front of the wanton fishing fleet.

Before the clipper could react, a monster covered in black scales and resembling a macaque jumped out of the whirlpool of the river, its fangs exposed, its eyes glowing golden, and its mouth screaming like a crow.

The monster boarded the clipper in a single leap, the murky water flowing down its black scales.

As the clipper got closer and closer, Qi Jingzhi could already see clearly, this macaque-like monster was obviously not tall, but it pressed the bow of the clipper to a steep sink, and the sound of wooden planks breaking was clearly recognizable.

The figure of the goddess who was dancing froze for a moment, and the screams suddenly resounded in the sky.

Before the screams stopped, the goddess turned to flee, but the monster jumped on her shoulder as fast as lightning, and slapped a paw on the back of the head, and immediately blood splattered and fell to the ground. z.br>

The rest of the people on the clipper were all terrified, and several of them stepped forward with their harpoons and tried to save the goddess, but the monster clawed one by one, and the tiger's mouth cracked, the harpoon fell out of his hand, and he fell out of his hand.

This time the boat was full of horror, and no one dared to take the initiative to step forward, but many people jumped out of ship in horror to escape, and the dense fish and turtles on the river surface were companions, and even the fleet with the rear side also slowed down, screaming and screaming endlessly.

Seeing that the monster wantonly chased and killed the people on the boat, the people waiting to buy fish on the river bank were also shocked and screamed.

At this moment, I saw Huo Ran, the young swordsman who was sitting and laughing with the otter before, get up and strode towards the river.

"Slow down, little brother! It is the golden-eyed water claw under the seat of the water god of the Xun River, and has always regarded the fish and turtles in the river as descendants, and those who hunt and kill indiscriminately will be retaliated against! Now that it has received the order of the water god to sit at the mouth of the lake, it cannot be offended in the slightest!"

The otter boy dissuaded him behind the young swordsman: "The current situation is unknown, I don't know if these people are just stunned young people who don't know the inside story and covet the many fish and turtles here, or if they are driven by people with ill intentions to come to test the Xunjiang water god's waystone, little brother should not meddle rashly!"

"The otter is kind, and I have received it with respect!"

The young swordsman did not stop, and replied loudly: "No matter what these people intended, in my opinion, there is nothing wrong with them fishing in the river, even if they disobey the laws of the river god, they will not be guilty of death!"

After a few words, he had hurried to the river.

Seeing the surging river and turbid current in front of him, the young swordsman suddenly took out a waist card from his arms and held it high above his head, while exhaling a vicious breath in his chest, spreading the sound far away.

"Qi Jingzhi of the Linzhou Town Demon Courtyard has come to this point, you evil beast again

Stop, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Hearing this, the otter was stunned and inexplicable, although the Linzhou Town Demon Courtyard couldn't manage the affairs of Junzhou, but the words of persuasion could no longer be spoken.

More than ten zhang away, the golden-eyed water claw who was raging on the fast boat suddenly turned his head, and a pair of golden strange eyes instantly aimed at the young swordsman by the river.

The next moment, it suddenly flew up and kicked a bloodied boatman in front of him out of the way, slamming it into the door of the cabin.

The door panel shook violently, and instead of being knocked open, it immediately returned to its original position, and several screams of panic were heard from the cabin, apparently someone struggling to reach the door on the other side.

"Dumb dumb!"

The golden-eyed water claw let out a strange cry like a crow, and a smile full of contempt and mockery appeared on its face.

"What a son of man!" It wasn't until this moment that Wei Yingdian finally came back to his senses, his face was full of anger, and he was a little speechless for a while.

I saw this former Great Qi Rite Lang Zhong suddenly jump up from the ground, pointed at the golden-eyed water claw and scolded angrily: "Evil animals are rampant, and there is a way to die! Please also ask the virtuous brother to quickly develop the means of subduing demons, peel off the skin and bones of this fang, and set an example! If the god of Jiang is guilty in the future, the foolish brother is not talented, and he is willing to share it with the virtuous brother!"
