South Ganbu Island

The dark field was silent.

The Linli Pass on the south bank of the lower reaches of the Huaishui River is brightly lit.

The city is full of lights, and there are many temples in white robes walking slowly on the streets, and every time they arrive at the door of a house, the family will take out the copper shells, silk, cloth, dried meat and other things that have been prepared for a long time.

The temple wishes looked indifferent one by one, holding bells, drums and other musical instruments and dancing the Nu dance.

They were God's servants and received offerings from the people on God's behalf, so they naturally had to maintain the posture of God, so the money and goods were given to the slaves who followed behind to receive them.

These servants of the gods were not so polite, one by one, they shouted at each other, picked and chosen, and even more dissatisfied with the offerings, they rushed directly into the house and forcibly dragged out the two goats they had raised......

For a time, the scene was extremely chaotic.

South City.

Inside the main hall of the post house.

Looking at the tall figure slowly dissipating into the air, Wen Zhong also breathed a sigh of relief.

The senior brother has promised to help him, so he can let go of his hanging heart.

He still has a lot of confidence in this senior brother.

After all, when he was in the Heavenly Court Peach Festival, he had seen the power of this senior brother.

The text can argue that the saint disciples of the Western Sect are speechless; Wu Ke was safe and sound under the attack of several ancient demon gods.

As long as this senior brother can be invited to come forward, that one god of Huaishui, isn't it casually extinguished?

"Squeak-"

The old doorway made a tooth-aching sound, causing Wen Zhong to look up.

I saw an old servant in a coarse cloth shirt sneaking through the door and entering, with a worried look on his face, looking at Wen Zhong and whispering, "Master, let's leave quickly."

I heard that the welcoming procession of Lord Water God has already come to the city, and we won't be able to leave if it's too late! ”

Wen Zhong waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't panic, I have invited my senior brother to come." When he arrives, he will kill the water god! ”

Hearing this, the old servant was not happy, but showed a touch of melancholy on his face, and said softly: "Master, don't take any more risks, the people in this Linjiao Pass today have almost gathered three million copper shells......

"Got it all together?"

Wen Zhong's face was slightly gloomy, "When did this happen?" ”

"Right in ......"

The old servant stopped talking.

Wen Zhong looked at him and said, "You are my old servant of the Wen family, and now you are doing things by my side, you don't have to be so restrained in front of me, just say what you have to say." ”

The old servant nodded and whispered: "It was after you lost to the water god, sir, that the Zhu, Wu, and Bu Zheng of Linzhuanguan began to collect money and materials from the people in the city again......"

Hearing this, Wen Zhong already understood what he meant, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "If I said this, it was because of me that I caused this situation." ”

At the moment, he didn't know what it was like.

Originally, he had only heard that the banks of the lower reaches of the Huaishui River were originally rich, but in the past hundred years, they had suffered to marry a wife for the water god, and the people were poor and displaced, so he had the heart to eliminate harm for the people.

He traveled thousands of miles from Chaoge to Linzhuanguan on the north bank of Huaishui, just in time to see the gongs and drums in the city, the lanterns were colorful, and many wealthy gentry took the lead in donating money and materials, attracting the people inside and outside the city to donate together.

Wen Zhong was suspicious, so he asked the old servants who accompanied him to investigate everywhere, and he also went to visit the homes of the wealthy gentry in the city, and finally found out the matter clearly.

It turned out that the officials and gentry in Linzhuo Pass forced the people to donate money and materials on the grounds of sacrificing to the water god, and they had to collect millions of dollars every year.

After that, the money donated by the wealthy gentry was returned, and tens of thousands of dollars were used to marry a wife for the water god, and the rest was shared with Zhu, Wu and others.

Under their coercion and temptation, the people of Linlianguan were impoverished, but they were afraid of the power of the water god and did not dare to speak.

Although Wen Zhong was born in a wealthy family, he was upright by nature, and he couldn't rub sand in his eyes, how could he bear it when he heard such news, so he lifted the table on the spot, rode Dangkang into the air, and wanted to kill the water god.

It's just that...... The water god was much more powerful than he had imagined!

Although he has practiced in Penglai since he was a child, he has never ascended to the immortal path.

It stands to reason that his qualifications are not bad, and he has eaten a lot of purple-veined peaches that are ripe once in 9,000 years, so he should have become an immortal a long time ago.

But he has not been able to usher in the test of becoming an immortal tribulation.

Later, I asked Shizun to know that he had a red dust heart, and the immortal tribulation was not an ordinary thunder tribulation, but needed to be walked in the mortal dust.

Knowing one's own heart, you can get the right result.

So, he took advantage of the peach festival to come out to see the world, and then returned to the song to save his relatives.

He wanted to realize Hongchen and become an immortal.

I never thought that the immortal had not yet become a ghost, but he almost became a ghost.

Recalling the "vicious battle" between him and the Huaishui Water God, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

His performance in that battle can only be described as "powerless", and even the water god did not really make a move, but just ordered his mounts to come forward to fight him, and easily defeated him......

If it weren't for the water god who saw that he was "outstanding" and stopped the mount, he was afraid that he would have to "die of incense" on the spot.

It's too embarrassing for the teacher!

Every time he thought of this, Wen Zhong's face felt a fever.

When the water god asked him about the origin of his master, he didn't even mention it, but just rode back to Linzhuan Pass in embarrassment.

The reason why he didn't dare to ask for help from the Holy Mother of Jinling, but found his senior brother Yu Yuan, was because the loss was too ugly.

In addition, the request made by the water god really made him ashamed to speak.

It's just that he didn't expect his embarrassing performance, but he made those Dazhu, Si Wu and others in Linzhuo Pass intensify their exploitation of the people.

"Alas~"

Wen Zhong sighed heavily and said with a wry smile: "The current situation is indeed caused by me, and I overestimated myself!" But even so, I won't run away! ”

He looked at the old servant and said in a deep voice: "When my senior brother arrives, I can make the water god walk around without eating!" ”

The old servant said worriedly: "But tomorrow morning is the god sacrifice ceremony, can your senior brother make it in time?" ”

"Time isn't a big deal, but it's ......"

Wen Zhong hesitated.

Senior brother, will he deliberately hide aside and watch the play, and wait until I am ...... by the water god?

"Huh~"

Although Shizun has always said that his senior brother has no rules for his behavior, he has always taken good care of me as a junior brother, so he shouldn't see me in trouble, right?

Should...... No way?

Right?

No way?

……

The more Wen Zhong thought about it, the more unconfident he became.

I couldn't calm down all night.

If it weren't for the fact that he only had that one sound transmission orb, I am afraid that he would have been unable to help but confirm with his senior brother a long time ago.

The night is over.

The people of the entire Linzhuan Pass all came to the shore of Huaishui early, and even the people of several nearby city passes also ran over to watch.

Worship to the river god is an annual event, which is related to whether the coming year will be smooth or flooded and drought.

Huaishui Temple is on the shore not far from Linzhuanguan, and it is magnificently repaired and beautiful.

In the middle of that temple, there stood a clay statue of a god painted with gold lacquer, its strange shape, the upper body was the image of a human man, and the lower body was eight thick and round tentacles.

The incense table in front of the statue of the god is in the golden furnace, and the purple mist rises.

Incense is in full bloom!

As the fiery sun rose over the horizon, an old temple priest shouted, "The ceremony of worshipping the gods begins!" ”

A group of young men and women in white robes walked out of the temple in a neat procession, each holding a variety of rare treasures with wooden trays in their hands, and walked slowly towards the surging water in the distance.

Hundreds of people, led by the gentry, respectfully awayed a way and watched these young men and women walk into the water.

And on the surging water, there were also many shrimp soldiers and crab generals, Yaksha water demons, which frightened many people and hurriedly retreated.

However, these water tribes did not go ashore, but just floated on the water, looking condescendingly at the Terran people on the shore.

Subsequently, a fierce monster with a long head of ten feet, a human face, a jackal body, and two wings on its back rose from the water, and a tall figure sat on its back, and the appearance of that body was the Huaishui water god worshiped in the temple.

With His appearance, all the gentry and the people on the shore bowed down.

In an instant, everyone fell to their knees...... Except for Wen Zhong!

He stood tall in the middle of the kneeling crowd, his tall body standing straight.

Huaishui Water God's face was green, the fangs on his lips were slightly protruding, his eyes fell on Wen Zhong like lightning, and he couldn't help but sneer: "This seat spared your life a few days ago, and you thought you would run away with your tail between your legs?" ”

Why hasn't the senior brother come yet, shouldn't he really hide in the dark to watch the excitement?

Wen Zhong's heart was anxious, but his face was extremely cold.

"You and other evil gods are worshiped by the people with incense, but they oppress the people and bring harm to the world...... This is the way to die! ”

Before the words fell, a group of white-robed wishers reprimanded one after another:

"How daring!"

"You dare to slander the god of water, what a big guts!"

"Who the hell are you, you dare to be wild in front of the god of water!"

“……”

Not only them, but even the people also shouted loudly.

"What the hell are you thinking?"

"Spring ploughing is coming, which angers the water god, and not a drop of rain will fall at that time."

"Get on your knees!"

"Don't hurry up and make amends to Lord Shuishen, or even we will be implicated!"

"You yourself are not afraid of death, but don't implicate us!"

……

As he spoke, several people rushed up and wanted to hold Wen Zhong.

The latter had to rise into the air and come to the middle of the air to look at the Huaishui Water God from afar.

"Hehe~"

The Huaishui Water God sneered, looked at Wen Zhong contemptuously, and said: "This seat allows the people on this side to have smooth weather and abundant food and clothing, so what's wrong with receiving some offerings?"

It's you...... As soon as my brain is hot, I want to cut off the gods, have you ever thought about cutting this seat, who will blow the wind and rain, and who will channel the water conservancy?

Without this seat, this fertile and fertile land will be destroyed by floods or droughts in a few years!

Is that what you want to see? ”

"This ......"

Wen Zhong's face changed slightly, and he was speechless for a while.

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