"This time it's definitely earned."

Coming out of the blacksmith shop, Liang En's face bloomed with a smile, he didn't expect that the knife he bought casually would be worth so much in the ancient world, and it could easily be sold for a high price of 500 taels of silver.

He bought this knife at that time just thinking about using the cheap labor in the ancient world to repair this knife and then see if he could make a difference, but he didn't expect that this knife was actually regarded as a precious luxury in ancient China.

However, when Liang En walked to the stone bridge and was about to cross the river, the originally calm river suddenly rippled, and then a basin-sized soft-shelled turtle floated up from the bottom of the water.

"Young master, demon ..... Youkai—"

After seeing the movement on the river, Uncle Zhang subconsciously looked at the movement in the river and said tremblingly.

"Don't be nervous." Liang En let go of the hand that had just clenched the hilt of the knife, because he didn't feel the cold aura like the last time he encountered the black mist.

What's more, this place is only more than 20 meters away from the City God Temple at most, if there are really any demons and monsters who can rush here, either there is no movement at all, or the movement is huge, and it will definitely not be like this.

"This soft-shelled turtle shouldn't have any malicious intent, it's likely that it's looking for me to have something, I'll go down and take a look."

After guessing what the situation was, Liang En motioned for Uncle Zhang to go first, and then he followed the stairs next to the river for residents to get on and off the boat, wash their clothes and vegetables, and come to a platform by the river.

Seeing Liang En come to the water's edge, the soft-shelled turtle also swam over from the middle of the river and spit out a jade gui with the thickness of an index finger and a small paper roll to Liang En's feet, and then nodded three heads to him and swam back to the middle of the river and sank and disappeared.

At the same time, the copper tripod in Liang En's mind trembled again and made a buzzing sound, and then drops of silver liquid sprouted out of thin air at the top mouth and fell into the tripod.

"One drop, two drops, three drops - sixteen drops, seventeen drops!" After counting the seventeenth droplet, no new droplets formed above the mouth of the ding, and the liquid that had originally dripped into the belly of the dingding converged into a pool of liquid the size of a silver coin.

"What the hell is going on?"

Looking at the seventeen drops of liquid, Liang En fell into thought, you must know that he worked desperately before, and he almost got three drops of liquid when he almost put his life on the line to kill the ghost head, so he really couldn't figure out what he had done before to get him seventeen drops of liquid.

"Forget it, don't think about it, just look at this note first."

After thinking for a while, he simply shook his head, and then opened the note sent by the turtle before. Because he thought that if the other party sent a note, there would be a reason for the whole thing.

Indeed, this small piece of paper has a letter written in small block letters, and the beginning of the letter introduces itself as the writer named Huang Yongnian, a river god.

From the faint runes on the letter, it can be seen that the person who wrote to Liang En was a regular river god who had been enshrined by the imperial court, and the reason why he contacted Liang En now was because he wanted to repay Liang En for saving his life.

"Could it be that the large yellow eel I saved earlier is actually a river god?" At this time, Liang En had already reacted, because he really couldn't figure out what else could be called a life-saving grace.

As Liang En's gaze gradually descended, the entire content of the letter fell into Liang En's eyes.

Judging from what was written on the letter, this river god named Huang Yongnian was the second-generation river god of the nearby Wangyu River, and the first-generation river god was his uncle.

Unlike most rivers, the Wangyu River is a canal dug by the Yue Kingdom in the Spring and Autumn Period to connect Taihu Lake and the Yangtze River, which was completely annihilated in this world a hundred years ago, and was not re-dug for the Northern Expedition after the establishment of the New Song Dynasty.

After the canal was re-dug up, Zhu Yuanzhang, the then Duke of Wu, asked the imperial court to enshrine a local yellow eel spirit that had been doing good deeds for hundreds of years as a river god.

It's just that just three months ago, the former river god went wrong when he was cultivating by himself, and finally he could only give up his body and priesthood to go to the Yin Si in the Netherworld to cultivate ghosts and gods.

In this way, the position of the river god of Wangyu River naturally became vacant.

Because his own children are really not successful. Therefore, the river god decided to make his nephew Huang Yongnian the river god, compared to other heirs, Huang Yongnian has been regulating the water veins for so many years, and the credit of protecting the people is enough to take over this priesthood.

At the same time, Huang Yongnian is also recognized as a kind eel, and at the same time is fair and upright for the eel, so after he becomes the river god, he can also ensure that the heirs of the old river god will not be hit.

Because of the merits of the old river god and the situation of the candidate, it can be said that Huang Yongnian became the river god, but according to the process, he still needs to go to the imperial court and get approval.

But in this gap period of only a few days, the Yin Wind Ridge Ghost King suddenly launched an attack, using several water tribes that he had bought before as internal responses to suddenly attack the River God Mansion.

This can also be regarded as a collision between those bull ghosts, snake gods and the Shinto system in the Netherlands, and the ghost king of the Yin Wind Ridge is a pawn that was pushed out to make trouble.

It is precisely for this reason that a series of actions before the ghost king can be completed under the noses of the city gods, and it has dealt a heavy blow to the hapless Huang Yongnian.

In the face of the surprise attack, the unprepared River God Mansion suffered heavy losses, and Huang Yongnian escaped through a secret passage known only to him and his uncle under the desperate protection of a group of henchmen, and finally ran along the underground river to the courtyard of Liang En's house.

As a result, he didn't expect to encounter the subordinates of the ghost king who infiltrated the city to search for his whereabouts, but fortunately, Liang En, an ordinary person, directly killed the ghost king's subordinates with the help of something, and brought him some food.

Because of Liang En's action, the river god finally got a night of peace, and he also used this night to force out the poison he had been given before, and then ran down the underground river to Chenghuang the next morning.

The rest of the matter was smooth - the city god who figured out what was going on launched several surrounding city gods deep into the Netherworld to launch an attack on the Yin Wind Ridge, and the Yin Wind Ridge Ghost King was defeated by the joint attack and was spared.

And Huang Yongnian successfully obtained the imperial court's edict yesterday, and finally became the god of the Wangyu River.

Although Liang En only killed a low-level ghost boss in the whole matter, it was precisely because of his behavior that Huang Yongnian, who was likely to die at the hands of the ghost king, successfully became a river god.

But then again, Huang Yongnian was already in the city at that time, and as long as he was not killed by a single blow, it was still possible to survive to the city to support him, which is why Liang En did not get more Qi Luck Essence.

The jade gui next to it was the river god's reward for saving his life: after he learned that Liang En wanted to have a secret book for real cultivation, he sent a secret book of cultivation in his hand as a reward after learning from the City God Temple.

In addition, there is an invitation letter with a map of the river he manages, inviting Liang to come to the river when he has time.

After the City God Temple knew about this, it did not stop it: although the statement could not be passed on lightly, the merit of saving a river god was enough to pay a real cultivation secret.

Not to mention that this inheritance is the inheritance owned by the river god, so as long as it is not obviously trusted, there is no reason for the inhuman City God Temple to stop it.
