Scooping up the corpse is not a difficult thing for Li Chengjing.

The trouble is the dragon corpse.

Fortunately, judging from today's experience, as long as you don't get close to the water shattering bead in the mouth of the dragon's corpse, no abnormalities will occur.

But also wait for tomorrow to see if that power in the water dissipates.

The feeling of being rejected by the whole river was very uncomfortable, as if in an instant, the whole person was alienated from the world and regarded him as an enemy.

Originally, the old village chief of Tazhai Village wanted to hold a grand banquet for Li Chengjing tonight, but Li Chengjing thought that it would not be too late to hold it after the corpse was fished up and the dust settled.

In this regard, the old village chief naturally did not dare to disobey.

However, even so, the evening meal was extraordinarily generous.

He Kaishan's four brothers were also stained with Li Chengjing's light, and their mouths were full of oil.

During the banquet, Li Chengjing asked curiously: "Since your He family is an ancestral corpse collector, you should know some magic to exorcise evil spirits!" ”

He Kaishan didn't hide anything, hurriedly put down the chicken legs, and replied carefully: "Yes, there are some, it is said that they were given by the court of the previous dynasty, and the court has also given some now, but they are all small spells that cannot be put on the table." It's just that most of the spells we get from doing this are linked to the local river gods, and our family of corpse diggers are all dedicated to the local river gods, and most of the spells used are cast with the help of the power of the river gods. ”

"So, you are worshipping this Huaishui River God?"

He Kaishan shook his head and said, "Our family worships the sacrificial wine river river Bo of the lower branches of Huaishui, and it is said that he is a subordinate river god of Huaishui River God. According to the rules, we can't collect corpses here, because after crossing the boundary, many of our spells can't be used. If it weren't for the repeated orders of the county lord, we sacrificed to the god of wine and river, and obtained the divination that can fish up the corpse, we would definitely not dare to come here. ”

There is nothing mysterious about the corpse fisher, Li Chengjing naturally knows something.

But when he heard He Kaishan say this, he frowned and asked: "No, since this is the case, then this Huaishui River should also have a special corpse collector, why don't you let them come to collect corpses, but let you come over." ”

The village chief of Tazhai Village listened to the conversation between the two, and suddenly said something he knew, and hurriedly interjected: "This old man knows." Naturally, we have a special corpse collector in this section of the Huaishui River, but last year, for some reason, this corpse harvesting family angered the Huaishui River God and was punished by the river god, and the whole family died overnight. ”

"The county government and several villages near us also want to recruit new corpse collectors, but everyone knows how the previous corpse harvesting family didn't get it, so they haven't recruited new corpse collectors for a long time. In the past two years, whenever the corpse was to be retrieved, it was ordered by the county honor, and the corpse harvesting families in several nearby river sections took turns to come to retrieve it. ”

He Kaishan smiled bitterly.

No need to ask, this time it is their turn for the He family.

Although the corpse digging man knows some spells, most of them rely on the river gods they worship, although they are regarded as the flow of loose cultivation on the mountain, but in fact, they are a group of mortals who know how to spells.

They eat, drink, and Lazar rely on the local government, and they naturally dare not disobey the orders of the imperial court, after all, they are separated from the river where they worship the gods, and there is no way to retrieve the corpses, and if they do it forcibly, they will die sooner or later at the hands of the river corpses that turn into ghouls.

It's no wonder that even the scattered cultivators on the mountain look down on them.

They who have mastered spells already have the qualifications to pursue immortality and long-term vision, but because their lifeline is controlled by the imperial court, they obey the orders and dispatch of the imperial court, and there is no freedom at all.

As a master of Xuan Xiu who was born in the mountains, he naturally looked down on them in his heart.

At night, Li Chengjing closed the doors and windows and released Zhang Jiuchen.

Since the last conversation, Zhang Jiuchen seems to have become mute, if Li Chengjing hadn't taken the initiative to release him, Li Chengjing would have doubted whether he was gone.

Although they have been together all day, they haven't seen each other for a long time.

Zhang Mingtang, who turned into a ghost, was still so immortal, and when he was released, he was also stunned for a moment, then sat opposite Li Chengjing, frowned and asked, "What's the matter with letting me out?" ”

Sure enough, it was the descendant of Longhu Mountain, and Li Chengjing's move made him guess that he had something to ask for.

Li Chengjing smiled, poured him a glass of wine soaked in willow branches, and then complimented: "Zhang Tianshi is really smart, and he immediately guessed that there is a request for you." ”

Zhang Mingtang sneered and said, "Do you think I will help you?" ”

Li Chengjing nodded, very confident.

This made a trace of surprise flash on Zhang Mingtang's face.

Li Chengjing knew that a person like Zhang Mingtang categorically couldn't use any fake empty words to get in touch with him, it was useless.

So he directly told the whole story of Huaishuihe.

"A dragon corpse?" After Zhang Mingtang heard this, he was not the slightest surprised, obviously compared to a newcomer to cultivation like Li Chengjing, Zhang Mingtang, a Heavenly Master of Dragon and Tiger Mountain, can be said to be well-informed.

The mere dragon couldn't make any change in his face in the slightest.

It's just that he frowned and muttered, "No, how could there be a dragon corpse in Shangxie County?" This is extremely far from the west, and it is a border pass, so it is impossible for Jiaolong to appear here. ”

Li Cheng listened to the question mark in his head.

What is impossible, listen to him, these dragons do exist, but they are all in the West.

However, as far as Li Chengjing knows, Jiaolong is good at water, and he is good at water escape.

In the west, there are many mountains and little water, and the Gobi Desert is the majority, how can Jiaolong choose to live there.

This goes against the nature of the dragon.

If you don't understand, just ask, Li Chengjing asked his own questions.

Zhang Mingtang hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "It's not a secret, even if I don't say it, you can inquire about it in the future." Since the ancestral dragon ascended, there is no real dragon in the world. But in ancient times, there were countless dragons in the world, and such dragons, who liked and disliked, made waves, and were killed by a large number of Xuan Xiu. By the time of Qin, there were almost no dragons visible. Because Jiaolong was not liked by the human race, in order to survive, they took refuge in Western Buddhism, became the protector of Buddhism, and also took the ridiculous name of the Eight Heavenly Dragons. ”

"Therefore, in the Central Plains, it is almost impossible to see the dragon."

Hearing Zhang Mingtang's explanation, Li Chengjing understood why he was puzzled.

The state religion of the Daqing court is Taoism, although there are many monasteries all over the Central Plains, but it is under the jurisdiction of the Taoist national teacher of the Daolu Division, and the development is extremely difficult.

Jiaolong is also called a vicious beast by Taoism, and Western Buddhism categorically does not dare to let Jiaolong enter the Central Plains at will. Once discovered by Taoist Xuanxiu, he died in vain.

Jiaolong has the blood of a real dragon, and all of them are treasures, which are excellent materials for refining magic weapons, drawing talismans, and refining pills, and anyone who sees it will be blushing.

Moreover, because the dragon did too much evil in ancient times, this clan was burdened with a deep karmic debt, and killing them would reap a lot of merit.

Therefore, it is obviously extremely powerful, but it lives like a rat crossing the street.

Zhang Mingtang intermittently told Jiaolong's situation on the mountain, and Li Chengjing, who listened, shook his head more than once.

According to Zhang Mingtang, although Jiaolong has the blood of a true dragon, it is not considered a dragon by the true dragon, which is also the reason why the ancient true dragon ascended and did not bring them.

Without the approval of the ancestral dragon, Jiaolong will not be able to enjoy the immeasurable merits of the true dragon in ancient times, knowing this, he does not learn from his ancestors to be good in the world, accumulate merits, but also go around for evil, today's situation can be said to be self-inflicted.

In the end, Zhang Mingtang did not agree to help Li Chengjing, of course, he did not directly refuse, only said that he would see the corpse of Jiaolong with his own eyes tomorrow.

Li Chengjing could only reluctantly agree.

Zhang Mingtang knew his secret, and Li Chengjing couldn't let him contact outsiders for the time being.

Returning him to the Huaimu ghost house, Li Chengjing fell asleep directly.

The next day, until noon, the four brothers of He Kaishan took Li Chengjing into the water.

It's not that Li Chengjing wants to pay attention to what yang energy is sufficient, it's because he has to wait for the people sent by the magistrate of Yizi City to watch, so he delays the hour.

Standing at the bow of the boat, Li Chengjing could see that in addition to the fast Zayiha he saw yesterday, there was also an old man of half a hundred, listening to He Kaishan say that this is the main book of Yizi City, called Jiao Zuowen, and he is the head of the Jiao family, the first family in Yizi City.

It is said that the county of flowing water is the main book of iron.

Officials with more than nine grades in various localities will be transferred at any time if they are inspected for a small examination every three years and a major examination in five years.

In order to facilitate the governance of the locality, each county would invite a representative of the local gentry to be appointed as the chief secretary or other officials to assist him.

In many cases, the power of the master book is even greater than that of the magistrate, and the speech is more effective.

Of course, this also led to an infighting for power between the successor magistrate and the old master.

Li Chengjing kept him in mind and didn't think about it for the time being.

When he arrived at the center of the river, Li Chengjing said: "These corpses are different from the corpses you picked up before, you don't touch them, wait for me to go into the water alone, I will tie them up with a rope, and when I come up, you can just drag them to the shore." ”

Because there is only one kind of evil qi in the body, the evil qi cannot be restrained at all, and the evil qi will leak out, and mortals will be seriously ill if they come into contact with it, and they will be relieved of their blessings and suffering, which is the same as when Li Chengjing was unable to completely absorb the evil qi in the body because of the incompleteness of the nine evils, and he needs to cover his own evil qi with a shading charm.

And although Li Chengjing has a lot of shading talismans in his hands, once this kind of talisman is opened, even if the door is closed later, the evil aura will continue to dissipate, and Li Chengjing is reluctant to take so many talismans to retrieve the corpse.

As soon as he entered the water, Li Chengjing felt it carefully, and found that the feeling of being rejected by Huaishui yesterday was gone, and he was much more relieved.

He didn't immediately look for the corpse, but went straight to the corpse of the dragon, and when he got to the far away position of the corpse of the dragon, he released Zhang Mingtang, and by the way, he pasted a shady talisman for him to prevent the evil qi in the water from consuming his yin qi.

As soon as he came out, Zhang Mingtang was attracted by the corpse of Jiaolong.

Li Chengjing reminded: "Although there is my talisman to protect the body, but you still don't get too close, after I got close yesterday, there was a mutation, and the talisman was directly broken." The aura of water evil near here is extremely strong, and without the talisman, with your ghost body, it will not take a few breaths to be dispersed by the evil qi. ”

Zhang Mingtang snorted coldly and said, "It's not you. I don't need you to remind you. ”

Some people died, but not completely......
