Chapter 141: Xunjiang Water God
Qi Jingzhi also stood up, walked to the river, and looked at the river to the west.
I saw that there was a wave that was almost flush with the river bank rushing at high speed, and when the originally dim and turbid river water surged up to the top of the wave, it had turned into a snowy frost white.
Between the waves, a tall shirtless man appeared, and his long yellow and black hair rose high with the wind and waves.
When Qi Jingzhi saw the other party, the man also set his eyes on the crowd on the shore, and almost instantly locked the silver-armored red-faced figure by the river.
The man immediately roared, and his body rushed out of the waves, sweeping across the river like flying, rushing towards Qi Jingzhi.
Countless exclamations rang out from the crowd on the shore, and the waves were so loud that they suppressed the sound of the waves on the river.
Just because the man was from the waist down, he was a four-clawed beast with yellow scales.
For these villagers who grew up on the banks of the Xun River, it is one thing to go to the river shrine to offer incense to the gods, and it is another thing to see the water god of the Xun River stepping on the waves.
Seeing the turbid waves on the Xun River, and the half-human and half-beast river god treading the water violently, the villagers on the shore couldn't help but show horror and fear on their faces, and couldn't help but retreat back in unison.
After just a dozen breaths, the Xunjiang Water God had already rushed to the front, with long yellow and black hair dancing on his head, and there was not even a single expression on his face.
He did not go ashore, but stomped the four black claws of iron under him into the river, and suddenly stopped.
In an instant, the river in front of Qi Jingzhi exploded, and the waves splashed three or four feet high, and it was about to turn into a downpour, falling towards a few people on the shore.
As soon as this Xunjiang water priest arrived, he was the first to take the lead, and he wanted to give the young swordsman in front of him a dismount!
Seeing this, Qi Jing's heart froze, and his body immediately shone with a bright glow.
Without thinking, he grabbed his chest, tore off the smoke and feather coat that had just emerged, and then raised his hand and shook it, turning it into a radiant aura cloth again.
The spirit cloth, which was as thin as a light veil, stretched as hard as it could, not only protecting the heads of the three people on the shore, but also covering the doctors and wounded people on the side.
said that it was too late, and then it was fast, and the pouring river water had already smashed on the long cloth of smoke and haze.
Everyone felt that they were in a dilapidated house with wind leaking on all sides, and it was stormy outside, and the wet and cold water vapor was blowing in with the wind, which made people's hearts tense and cold all over the body.
Fortunately, the dilapidated house is also a house, although it inevitably leaked some rain, but it finally resisted the invasion of this shower.
The Xunjiang Water God stood expressionlessly in the river beside the bank, raised his eyes and glanced at the smoky long cloth, and stared at the red ghost mask on Qi Jingzhi's face.
He was silent for a moment before he suddenly spoke, his voice distant and cold: "If it weren't for the wrong breath, I would have thought that the ghosts and gods of Yin Si had stretched out their hands into my Xun River!"
As soon as the words came out, the Xunjiang Water God suddenly paused again, frowned, raised his head and shouted in the air: "Is Yunxiang Yin Si involved in today's matter?"
With this questioning, the white waves on the Xun River finally came belatedly, whistling behind the river god, and the majesty of this god was even more profound.
Hearing this, Qi Jing, who had been ignored, moved in his heart, knowing that his spiritual mask still made the other party suspicious after all.
He reached out and took back the long cloth of smoke that was almost pressed by the river to the top of his head, so that he had time to carefully look at the Xunjiang water god in front of him.
The god was extremely tall and handsome, with an angular body of flesh.
The wind on his head was not long hair, but strange tentacles as thick as chopsticks and yellow and black.
As the river god stopped at the riverside, these tentacles gradually turned from floating behind his head to straight up, swaggering in the air like aquatic plants.
As for the beast body with yellow scales and black claws on his lower body, it is quite burly and majestic, but it is a pity that Qi Jingzhi's knowledge is limited, and he really doesn't know what kind of beast body this is.
As soon as he looked at it, a voice in the air not far away replied respectfully, "Marquis Xun
Mingjian, my uncle will never dare to disobey the ancestral system of Great Qi and the strict orders of the lord of the country, and meddle in the affairs of the world without authorization."
The voice paused, and then added, "There has never been a death in the county city."
"Humph! To put it nicely, do you interfere less? Qu'a Hou Lake has not yet been opened, but the mountain next to it has been taken into the bag by your city god first! If it weren't for the fact that the *** spring is now surrounded by the lake, it would be hard to say where the water spirit qi belongs!"
Xunjiang Water God sneered, but his brows were already stretched.
His gaze paused for a moment on the otter and then turned to the golden-eyed water claw lying on the ground not far away.
"What a shit!"
The water god of Xunjiang scolded in a low voice, stretched out his hand to grab the golden-eyed water claw, and immediately took a picture of it.
He grabbed the servant by the neck and looked him up and down for a moment, a look of anger on his face.
Then, the Xunjiang water god suddenly turned his head to look at Qi Jingzhi, with a smile on his face, and the sharp teeth in his mouth bloomed with cold light: "The Linzhou Town Demon Courtyard is so majestic, it is even thousands of miles away to come to my Xunjiang River to teach Ben Hou a lesson for the house slave!"
"What? Now that Ben Hou has come to confess his guilt, won't this lord even show his face?"
As soon as these words came out, there was silence all over the place, only the river wind hunting, as if heavy rain was coming.
Qi Jingzhi stood by the river with his head held high, only to feel that the huge coercion rushed towards him, and in a trance, he turned into a yellow-black strange wind, and hit the red ghost armor fiercely.
The small world in the spiritual mask changed color when it landed, and the smoke and red were shrouded in yellow and black demon wind balls, and the three peaks of a mountain shook in unison.
In the next moment, the many young figures in the Immortal Feather Mountain who had just subdued the tiger with a single sword, or who were wielding their blades beyond the silver sword, all of them were stunned, and then turned around at the same time, or spread their fists and feet, or held their blades, like cranes that were angry and flapping their wings, and bravely pounced against the strange wind blowing outside the mountain.
At the same time, the angry cranes reached the nine heavens and spread widely.
In the eyes of the gods and everyone outside, this scene was that the red ghost armor of the young swordsman suddenly turned yellow and black, just like rain clouds covering the sun.
However, in an instant, a touch of red appeared in the dark and heavy yellow-black rain cloud, and then this red color blurred even more quickly, turning a large number of rain clouds into patches of red clouds.
In the end, it was as if a red sun was coming out of the clouds, and the morning sun was rising, and its path was bright, breaking through all the gloom!
The red ghost mask is restored, the eyebrows and eyes are hideous, and the red light is shining.
"Huh?"
Seeing this, the Xunjiang Water God finally faced up to the young swordsman in front of him, who was clearly only in the second realm and had not even manifested his heart.
In his opinion, whether it was the extremely high level of the exercises he practiced, or the strange appearance of the red ghost, which could exorcise a wisp of the coercion of the Third Realm Divine Marquis in such a short period of time, this young swordsman who claimed to be from the Linzhou Demon Suppression Academy must be extremely extraordinary.
So, the Xunjiang Water God restrained his smile and looked Qi Jing up and down carefully.
He was about to speak, but was preempted by the young swordsman in front of him.
Immediately, a god on the river and everyone on the shore heard Qi Jingzhi's quiet and solemn voice: "Dare to ask the gods, where does the position of the water god of the Xunjiang River come from?"
When Jiang Shen heard this, his eyebrows were raised, and anger appeared on his face: "What do you want to say when you ask this?"
Qi Jingzhi smiled loudly and pointed to the silent villagers behind him: "These people are all begging for a living on both sides of the Xun River, drinking Xun River water, eating Xun River fish, and some relatives are buried in the river, or become the food of fish and turtles, or become water ghosts and Jiang Ling under the rule of the river god. These people revered and feared the gods, and they built temples and sacrifices and incense."
"Now in front of them, I dare to ask again, where did the throne of Marquis Xun come from?"
The Xunjiang water god glanced at the crowd along the fingers of the young swordsman, and the god's eyes exuded a faint divine might, which frightened the villagers to retreat in unison again. The people standing in the front row could not retreat, and many of them immediately fell to their knees with weak knees.
The river god who controls the livelihood of many Li people on both sides of the Xun River, and even the blessings and misfortunes, lives and deaths, is recovered
looked at him, and said in a deep voice: "Benhou, the god of the river, is naturally favored by Xunjiang and gives birth to a spiritual body, and the lord of the country favors him and seals the golden book! As for the people to whom you refer......
His tone changed to indifferent: "Benhou is born and cultivated, self-cultivation, and the incense of the people is insignificant, just the icing on the cake."
Hearing this, Qi Jingzhi knew that although this Xunjiang water god was rebellious, but now in front of everyone's eyes, especially a ghost god of Yin Si, a lake keeper of Qu Ahou Lake, and his so-called Linzhou Town Demon Courtyard visitors were on the side, and the other party did not dare to disrespect the lord of the Great Qi country.
The young man's heart was relieved, and he immediately nodded, his tone still solemn: "Although it is the icing on the cake, those incense offerings are a sincere heart of the people after all!"
"Since the Shenhou has accepted it, he should take care of the people on both sides of the strait, why did he condone the gods and servants to cause trouble, and did not allow the people to fish in the left near river in Qu'a Town?"
Hearing this, the Xunjiang Water God immediately frowned.
A few years ago, although the opening of the lake in the long run is beneficial to the strength of the Xunjiang River, but in the short term, the water of the Xunjiang River will inevitably fill the newly expanded land of Qu'a Hou Lake, and the lake god who should belong to the water house has been taken by the imperial court.
As for the fact that he sent the golden-eyed water clams to guard the mouth of the lake to ban fishing in Qu'a Town, whether it was the Xunjiang Shuifu family or the Terran officials of Xunyang County, they actually didn't regard it as a big deal. The left and right are just an insignificant addition, where is it worth the distraction of the big guys, and the big thing of opening the lake and dividing the water is ruined?
It's just that, after all, this is not a written contract made by the two sides in black and white, if you really want to talk about it, whether it is legal or reasonable, the Xunjiang water god who accepted the golden book of the lord of the country and enjoyed the incense offerings of the people is actually not reasonable. Now that this matter has been brought to the table, there are so many pairs of eyes staring at it, and it is really difficult to refute it directly.
Although the water god of Xunjiang is unruly, he is not stupid, and naturally he doesn't want to be the rafter that comes out, which attracts extra attention from the imperial court.
He immediately ignored Qi Jingzhi's question and asked rhetorically, "What is your surname, and what is your position in the Linzhou Demon Courtyard? This god is the marquis of the lord of the country, you just saw me, you didn't see me, you didn't greet you, this marquis has not interrogated you, but you preemptively questioned me, this is the rules of the Demon Suppression Academy?"
Since it is impossible to avoid the fact that the god position is the lord of the country, the Xunjiang water god simply took up the shelf of the Hou Ye and came to oppress people with a position of power.
Hearing this, before Qi Jingzhi could answer, Wei Yingdian, who was standing behind him, suddenly took two steps forward and stood side by side with the young man.
With a smile on his face, he sang deeply to the god of water in the Xun River: "Master Hou is above, and Wei Yingdian is polite!"
Hearing Wei Yingdian's official position, the Xunjiang Water God was stunned, and immediately threw Qi Jingzhi aside, glared at Wei Yingdian and said hatefully: "Benhou's annual tribute to the Ministry of Rites has never been short! My Shuifu hall is just a few more pillars and two more doors, so I have to hold on to such a trivial matter, and personally send someone to find out what is wrong with Benhou?"
Fortunately, this Jiang Shen was still measured in his anger, so he just said something and didn't make a move against Wei Yingdian.
Wei Yingdian straightened up, the smile on his face was even bigger, and he hurriedly shook his head and said, "What did Master Hou say! The reputation of Xunjiang Water Mansion has never been bad in the Ministry of Rites! Regardless of the Shuifu Palace, the lower officials have heard that the newly completed Jiang Shen Shrine outside Xunyang County has been cultivated very well, and the standing beast on the eaves is only one more than the Marquis's regulation!"
"There are not many water gods like Hou Ye who are humble and courteous, and I can't find a few in the whole world! When the subordinate talked about this with his colleagues, it was a compliment!"
Hearing him say this, the lake keeper couldn't help but look strange, and Qi Jingzhi couldn't help but look at the old brother who had just been introduced by him as a Taoist friend.
On the other side, Xunjiang Water God's face immediately softened, and he believed in Wei Yingdian's identity ninety-tenthally, after all, except for those guys in the Ministry of Rites who were full and had nothing to do, who would stare at the eaves of other people's houses every day?
As for the newly built shrine outside Xunyang County, it is naturally one of the rewards that the Xunjiang water god promised to open the lake.
At the beginning, the two sides broke up
After a long time, the former Xunyang County Shou took a step back and secretly promised those innocuous little overpasses, otherwise if a ceremonial shrine was really built, I am afraid that it would be ridiculed by the water gods near the left for decades.
Being interrupted by Wei Yingdian like this, the power that the Xunjiang Water God had deliberately put on before was a little weaker unconsciously, and he couldn't help but ask, "Then why did Wei Langzhong come this time?"
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the Lake Keeper, who had remained silent, and said suspiciously, "The old county keeper is in good health, and it will be many years before the temple is built and returned to its place, right?"
The otter immediately bowed down and replied, "The old county guard is naturally healthy! As for the site selection of the Lake Temple, the Ministry of Rites has sent people to see it last year, and I think that this year, the lord of the country will first set the regulations, give the drawings, and hand it over to the county to slowly prepare for the construction.
The water god of Xunjiang bowed slightly, and turned his head to look at Wei Yingdian.
Lang Zhong, who had just been "reinstated as an official" on his own, gave another salute unhurriedly: "Hou Ye Rongyu, the ancestral hometown of the lower official is Xunyang County, and this trip to Beijing is to receive a foreign mission from the Ministry of Rites, and it happens to return to his hometown to worship his ancestors, which is considered a public and private trip. As for the reason for this difference......
His expression suddenly became very solemn, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the river, and said solemnly: "The Ministry of Rites cleaned up the old scrolls a year ago, and suddenly turned out an old file of the Hook Chen Yuan, saying that there is a slashing Jiaozhen Monument under the Xun River!"
Speaking of this, Wei Yingdian's expression became more and more worried: "It doesn't matter if you check the old files, the Zhensha Monument erected by the Hook Chen Yuan is more than 500 years ago, and during this period, no matter whether it is the Gou Chen Yuan or the Ministry of Rites, no one has ever been sent to repair it!" If a spirit like an elephant takes advantage of it, I'm afraid there will be an unforeseen disaster!" Z.br>
"At that time, Hou Ye will be questioned by the lord of the country, and it will be enough to eat some hanging, but once the climate is turned into a climate by that Jiao, and the divine power of Hou Ye is shaken, it will be extremely bad!"
Hearing this, Qi Jingzhi finally couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Wei Yingdian, and secretly exclaimed in his heart: "This guy is really a fucking character!"
