"Qin Ganluo worships Shangqing for the twelve, Cao Cangshu can be called an elephant at the age of six, Uncle Sun must not underestimate me, how do you know that I can't achieve a career?"

"Haha, good boy, these two sentences to you, slow talk about more than a month, that is, in two or three years, if you can really make a little way, I will admit your son-in-law.

But I don't know, what does Brother Liu think? Sun Yuanqing turned his head and looked at Liu Yanchang solemnly.

Along the way, under the disguise of Chen Laogou's success, Sun Yuanqing really looked at him as a flawless jade, such a smart and clever son-in-law, with a family education background and impeccable appearance and character, who doesn't want it?

Sun Yuanqing thought that with Liu Shenxiang's cleverness and his Sun family's funding, even if he couldn't roll call Donghuamen in the future, with this kid's head, he would definitely not be too bad.

And the baby parents who have been set since childhood, and then have their own funding, their daughters will definitely not suffer when they marry in the future.

At this moment, Sun Yuanqing was also heartbroken for his daughter, and he really wanted to accept this son-in-law, so he looked at Liu Yanchang solemnly.

Liu Yanchang just reads too much, and the world is slower, he is not stupid, when it comes to his son's marriage, he is not ambiguous at all:

"The dog can be valued by Brother Sun, that is his blessing, but my Liu family is poor and poor, but I am afraid that I will be wronged."

"Haha, Brother Liu, don't worry, it's not Sun who is boasting, the little girl is gentle and lovely, virtuous and virtuous is by no means the kind of person who hates the poor and loves the rich, besides, the words of the parents have been the same since ancient times, where can they be helped"

"That being the case, but it's my Liu family who has climbed high"

"Brother Liu, what do you say, Agarwood, don't learn from your father's appearance"

"Remember the teachings of Old Taishan" Chen Laogou's milk voice was milky, and the little adult arched his hand.

"Hahaha"

Verbally agreed on the baby's parent, Sun Yuanqing saw that Chen Xiang was becoming more and more pleasing to the eye, and when he asked for warmth, he invited Liu's father and son to arrange for someone to come to exchange eight characters as soon as possible after arriving in Yangzhou, and settled this family business.

Liu Yanchang naturally nodded and agreed, and stayed overnight like this for another day.

..

On this day, the convoy departed from Sihong County, Xuzhou, headed south to Xuyi (xūyí), stayed in Xuyi for one night, then went south to Tianchang County for one night, and then arrived in Yangzhou in the evening of the third day.

Everyone in the caravan was homesick, and their footsteps couldn't help but be a little faster.

They come and go, go back and forth, when they go from Yangzhou, the spring breeze is only on the south bank of the Green River, and now they are back, and the lotus flowers bloom in midsummer.

How can you not want your parents, wives and children at home?

But as soon as the convoy left Sihong County, it had to stop when it reached the shore of Hongze Lake.

Hongze Lake is in the southeast of Sihong County, the lake surface is more than 1,000 square kilometers, rich in fishery specialties, feeding many people in Wudi.

But at this time, the convoy had to stop!

Because at this time, the lake on the official road overflowed, flooded, the fields on both sides of the road were flooded, the houses were destroyed, and hundreds of people cried on the side of the road.

"What, what's going on?" Liu Yanchang was shocked, and said that Yangzhou is a treasure in the world.

That doesn't look like it!

"Hey, I didn't expect Hongze Lake to flood again this year," Sun Yuanqing sighed on the side.

When I set off from Yangzhou to Chang'an, the lake was still calm.

"Flooding again?"

"Yes, it was flooded like this last year, but I didn't expect it to be like this this year, and the people nearby are afraid that it will be difficult to live this year."

There is another thing that Sun Yuanqing didn't say, that is, the lake is flooding, and the caravan walking is afraid that it will also be affected.

"The government doesn't care?"

"Anyway, but last year, the imperial court had already issued disaster relief money, and this year, I'm afraid that no one will dare to report it anymore."

"Why hasn't anyone reported it?" Liu Yanchang was even more puzzled.

"Last year, I already asked for silver for disaster relief, and this year it is flooding again, what do you think of it? Where did the money go? If it is traced, this is a big deal to lose your head.

Fortunately, it is better to leave it at that, if it does not flood again in the coming year, this matter will be over."

When Liu Yanchang heard this, he couldn't believe it for a while.

Why, is this?

Could it be that the lives of thousands of people are not as important as the black gauze hat on their heads?

Then

"Look, what's that?" Chen Xiang suddenly pointed into the distance and said.

Everyone looked at it, and in the knee-deep muddy water, there was a wooden altar one foot square, on which lay two children of five or six years old, a man and a woman, who were crying ignorantly.

And not far from this altar, there were two monks in purple monk robes standing in the muddy water.

Where the naked eye can't see, on the surface of this flooded and turbid muddy lake, there are bursts of ghosts and resentment.

These two monks of Jinshan Temple, originally went to the White Horse Temple to participate in the Lotus Society, on the way back, they saw that this place was full of resentment, and they came with a compassionate heart, chanting scriptures here, and surpassing the soul.

"Daughter, my daughter, please, let my daughter go, she's not yet four years old."

"What are you crying about, it is Xiaoju's honor to be a tribute to the Lord of the Lake God, you must not dare to talk nonsense, if you annoy the Lord of the Lake God and are unhappy, I will let your whole family make amends"

At the altar, a soaked, muddy and grief-stricken woman fell to her knees in the muddy water and cried, and several times she tried to rush to save her daughter, but was stopped.

In addition to her, there were several ragged and unkempt old peasants kneeling in the muddy water and bowing down to her.

"Amitabha, donors, this lake is clearly a monster, don't be so self-mistaken, let the child go home quickly.

There is a poor monk here, and he will not let the evil man do it."

After the old peasants worshiped the god of the lake, when they heard the monk's words, they got up and glared angrily, and shouted evilly:

"Bald donkey, don't die here, chant the scriptures elsewhere, this is my family matter, what do you have to do with it?"

"When you are in trouble and close the mountain, you beg in the prosperous era, you bald donkeys are talking about"

"Don't talk to him too much, if you give him two forks again"

"Shut up, the lake god is coming out"

This official road, outside the Xu Xu is Hongze Lake, the lake stretches for thousands of miles, calm and waveless, like a mirror.

And at this moment, the mirror-like surface of the lake rippled, undulating, and with a bang, a dark figure as thick as a vat rose from the water of the lake, and in the blink of an eye, it came to the altar.

"Evil obstacles, Hugh is presumptuous"

"Oh, you evil obstacle was sacrificed by people but flooded the lake, for the sake of the world, today look at the poor monk's means"

The two monks shouted in unison, the old monk only had the third realm Jin Dan cultivation, he knew that he was not the opponent of this black light, but he still threw the bowl in his hand into the air, and the bowl made of ebony actually hovered in mid-air.

The old monk saluted the Buddha with his left hand, recited the mantra scriptures in his mouth quickly, and waved his right hand:

"Look at the bowl!"

The ebony bowl rose several times in the wind, turning into a big black bowl, and the black light that rushed out of the lake in the air!

"Hehe, I don't know what to call it" A voice that seemed to laugh but not laugh, and seemed to cry but not cry came from the black light.

While!

With a wave of black light, only a crisp sound was heard, and the big black bowl that emitted golden light burst into a large hole, and then turned into its original size and fell into the muddy water.

burst

"Master," the little monk exclaimed.

The old monk was struck by lightning, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and his face was suddenly as pale as paper, he forced a breath, stood up straight, and shouted:

"Demon, poor monk Jinshan Temple Fahui, cough, you are cultivating rampantly, I can't accept you if I can't do anything, there are righteous people who do the right thing for heaven, come to collect you, you will be punished by God"

Only then did everyone see that the black figure hanging in the air was actually a black python with a head as big as a cow.

The python head is hideous and terrifying, with a single horn on its head and a pair of chestnut-purple vertical eyes, which are as cold as ice.

this

This turned out to be a Jiao!

Under the hideous head of the python, it has all four limbs like a human.

At this moment, its chestnut purple vertical pupils narrowed slightly, its face was full of mockery, and it said: "Bald donkey, how can you be a frog at the bottom of the well worthy of talking to me, for the sake of your Buddha, call me grandpa, and today God will spare your life."

Of course

You can also shout again, and then I will send you to the Buddha and find him to complain, how about it? ”

cough

The old monk coughed up another mouthful of blood, and before he could speak, the little monk on the side knelt in the water with a puff.

"Grandpa, grandpa, grandpa, please spare me and the master" The little monk just wanted to survive for himself and his master.

The old monk looked down at the little monk kneeling in the muddy water, raised his head and shouted to the black demon:

"Demon, you flood the lake and bring havoc to the world..."

Burst!

Heijiao slapped his palm in the air, the old monk stood in place, a mouthful of blood spurted out, his entire chest was dented, his front chest was against his back, he was already dead and could not die anymore.

"Division..."

Burst!

Before the little monk finished shouting, the bare brain melon seeds cracked like a broken watermelon, and his whole body plunged into the water and fell on the old monk.

"Huh"

The black Jiao in mid-air let out another hehe, and in an instant, a pair of young children on the wooden altar disappeared, and it turned into a black light again and disappeared into the lake.
