We didn't rush to the Tianhe Mountain Fort villa in Luliang, Shanxi, but stayed in the hotel for another night. After all, we found out that the Fen River was not very peaceful, and we asked the fishermen who lived near the Fen River.

Fishermen told us that several people drown in this section of the Fen River every year, and they also told us that a man who escaped death once said that a huge water snake lived under the river, which often hunted for tourists.

I also made a point of keeping an eye on it and asked how big the water snake was, but the fishermen only said that it was very big, and they had fished the water snake by boat. However, there is no trace of it in the Fen River......

At present, there are so many clues, it is difficult to say whether this snake is a demon or not, but I know that this big water snake has harmed many people.

A group of five of us came to the bank of the river, looking at the turbulent river, our hearts were churning, and I asked Xu Chengcheng again: "Second Senior Brother, can your water belong to the Dao Law affect this river?" If we can, we can force the demons in the water to come out. Then, slay the scourge. ”

Li Huhu answered for him, "Yangsheng, the Dao Law can only affect the attributes in a small area, and it can't control the flow of water, if you really want to get the big snake in the water." I don't think we can do it, so let's go to Tianhe Mountain Fort to find the Yamamoto brothers first. ”

"I have my own measure about Jun Yamamoto and the enemy. The reason why I want to stay is to solve the evil in the Fenhe River first, and there is a certain reason, just listen to me. ”

After I finished speaking, Su Crazy stood up and said to me again: "Yang Sheng is right, it is our responsibility for the Dao family to eliminate demons and defend the Dao. Now, we have seen the evil that is harmful to people in the Fen River, and we can't sit idly by, we must get rid of it as soon as possible. ”

Geng Biaobiao deliberately coughed twice and said, "Ahem, let me add, when we chase and kill Yamamoto Jun and the enemy, we still have a task, that is, to collect the fragments of the Yin Spirit Pill." The more Yin Spirit Pill is collected, the greater the temptation to the enemy demons, and besides, Yamamoto Jun is not necessarily in that villa. Because, the person who wrote the letter was his brother Tsuyoshi Yamamoto, and maybe it was a trap set for us again. The enemy demon is so cunning, I want to slowly collect the Yin Spirit Pill, and the enemy demon will take the initiative to find the door sooner or later. ”

Xu Chengcheng also spoke, "Well, what the fifth junior brother said is also true, we were too passive before. Led by the nose by the enemy, although we are all eager to get rid of it, we must recognize the actual situation now. Now we have to hunt down Toshishi Yamamoto and the enemy demons, and secondly, we have to collect the fragments of the Yin Spirit Pill along the way, which is the best bait for evil spirits. ”

Li Huhu saw that the opinions of the other four of us were surprisingly unanimous, so he no longer expressed different opinions, but just said stupidly, "Well, the minority obeys the majority, and I listen to you." ”

"Senior Brother Xuansheng, I know your thoughts very well. You've hunted down an enemy, so you're especially keen to get news of the enemy as early as possible and then eliminate him. I said.

"Yes, it's Yangsheng who knows me best. However, now we don't have the slightest clue about the water demons in the Fen River. Li Huhu voiced his doubts, then squatted aside, lit a cigarette, and smoked silently.

At this moment, Geng Biaobiao suddenly pointed to the distance and said loudly: "Brothers, look, there is movement on the other side of the Fen River. ”

We looked in the direction of his finger, and there was a small shrine in the middle of the river.

"Did you see that shrine in the middle of the river?" Xu Chengcheng asked.

"See, someone must be worshipping the river god, is it this river god who harms people?" Li Huhu asked with a skeptical tone.

"Let's go to the riverbank over there first, and ask the fishermen nearby." Sue made a good suggestion.

We all got into the car and drove to the nearest village to the river shrine.

As soon as we got out of the car, we saw a mess, the river bank at the edge of the village was washed to pieces, and the big sturdy willow trees on the bank were also staggered. If the water were a little more violent, it would definitely sweep a lot of people down.

The villagers who had been washed away by the water were working hard to repair the village, and their faces were full of sorrow, and it seemed that they had been persecuted by the river.

Not far away, a group of villagers were carrying a sedan chair to the river, and this group of people all had solemn expressions.

I asked a villager, "Uncle, what's going on?" Since it's a send-off, then they're all crying and mourning? ”

"You don't know, young man! It was a palanquin for the offerings, because this year's floods were so bad. We often threw cattle into the river. I don't know who sent it this time? ”

Su Mamad felt that it was incredible, it was the 21st century, and there was such a feudal and backward place, so he asked: "The river is tyrannical, this is a natural disaster, why do you want to throw sacrifices into the river?" ”

"Hey, it's not peaceful! Our village chief has no choice, in order to protect the village, he can only send sacrifices to the river god. Every time, the village chief integrates the strength of the whole village and throws the whole pigs, cattle and sheep into the river, which is a matter of course. ”

I asked again, "What about your village chief?" ”

The villager pointed to the mustache that was leading in front of the sedan chair and said, "That's our village head, Ma Muri." ”

I walked up to them and stopped them, and said loudly, "You shouldn't give the animals you have worked so hard to buy to the so-called river gods, the river gods you offer are actually just monsters with some skills." ”

At this moment, the people who gave the sacrifices were all panicked, I looked at their expressions and smiled helplessly, "If you want me to say, the river god you worship may be some kind of spirit that has increased its strength because of the fragments of the Yin Spirit Pill!" Before, you must have not been seriously flooded here, that is, it has only become more and more severe in recent years. You guys, don't be fooled by monsters who aren't river gods. ”

Seeing that I was so rude, the village chief Ma Muri opened his mouth and asked, "Who are you?" Why did you come to us? Whoever you are, I'll tell you! Our village has always had the habit of worshipping the river god, and our whole village is counting on the Fen River to live. It was because of the worship that we caught more fish. Although, lately, the temper of the river god has become a little fiercer. However, for the sake of our village's honest sacrifice, the river god is only attacking people outside his village. Our village has been blessed by the river god. ”

Geng Biaobiao walked up and scolded angrily: "You stinky old man, what do you know? My brother said that the river god you worship is a monster, so you can't be wrong. ”

Su Crazy also came over and said, "We're not strange people, let's tell you the truth." We are Taoists, all Taoist feng shui onmyoji, and we are very good at seeing feng shui to drive away evil spirits. We're here for some reason, and we're all kind feng shui masters who help others. ”

Xu Chengcheng followed and said: "We have heard about the matter of Fenhe, if you worship the true god." Then the god will not be so willful, if you don't mind, this false god will be left to us to defeat. ”

At this time, a swarthy villager stood up and said, "You say that you are a feng shui onmyoji, then show us your hand." ”

"What's so hard about this, look at me." After Li Huhu finished speaking, he sealed his hands and used his fire method, so that these ignorant villagers all gained knowledge.

"Fellow villagers, please let me use a compass to show you Feng Shui." I was just about to take out the compass and compare it to the feng shui of the place, when I was interrupted by the village chief.

"No, I don't. You guys don't come to fool us. You are just mortals, how can you fight against the river gods? ”

Another tall villager stood up and said, "Village chief, I think these people look like people with two brushes, otherwise let them try it." Perhaps, we can really give ...... what pits and bullies us."

"Hmph, don't talk to any of you, rather than leave it to our strangers who don't feel at ease. It's better to worship the river god well, if they really succeed, it's fine, if they don't succeed and anger the river god, our village will really suffer. Before the villager could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the village chief.

Then, he said, "The river god has a bad temper, and if he really angers the river god because of them, our village will cease to exist." With a wave of his hand, the river god can destroy our village, and it's powerful, you don't know it! ”

I laughed, pointed at this guy named Ma Muri and said, "Hmph, you would rather believe in the monsters who bully and oppress you than believe in us Taoist disciples who help you." In the final analysis, you don't dare to try, it's like a coward who is used to being bullied by the underworld forces, and he doesn't dare to resist. But the more you don't dare to resist, the more the evil monsters that bully you will become. You keep saying that you are afraid of the revenge of the river god, so why don't you dare to resist boldly? It's just an excuse to use the safety of the village. ”

"I won't tell you, anyway, before the sun goes down, I must take everyone to send the tribute to the river, and throw it into the river. Alright, alright, you guys are on your way! Stranger, I thank you for thinking of us villagers, but I can't take any chances! Ma Muri was still stubborn and insisted on doing what he said.

Looking at their distant figures, Li Huhu said helplessly: "That bearded man is really too pedantic, obviously he worships monsters, but he says what kind of river god he is." ”

I said: "He is obviously pushing the responsibility outward, Su Zhe wrote "The Theory of the Six Kingdoms", and people think that serving Qin with the land is like fighting a fire with a salary, and the fire will not be extinguished if the salary is not exhausted." This village chief is going to feed the whole village to the monsters in the river, and if you can't feed it cleanly, you won't stop. ”

Xu Chengcheng said helplessly: "Hey, kindness is treated as a donkey's liver and lungs, and we are treated as people who are in the way." In the final analysis, people are still afraid of the monsters in the river, that is, the villagers upstream said, the big water snake. ”

"If you want me to say leave it alone, these pedantic guys, stubborn. We are obviously kind enough to help them, but people are good, they don't have a good word to be obedient, and they still look down on us. Besides, they sacrificed animals and not living people. After Geng Biaobiao complained boredly, he spread his hands and looked like he had nothing to do with himself.

Su Mamad denied his words and said, "Huang Sheng, what are you talking about?" Whether people appreciate it or not, we have to get rid of that evil water demon. We can't be so casual. ”

"Yes, I support Senior Brother. As the head of the house, I decided that we would get rid of the demons! ”

"Guys, are you all serious?"

I don't know where a sentence came out, this voice is very unfamiliar!

A little boy dressed in tatters suddenly jumped up to us, "If you guys are really willing to help us get rid of that monster in the water, then please come with me!" ”

After saying that, he took my hand and led me away, urging him from time to time: "Hurry up and follow me!" ”

"What's that little ghost going to do?" Li Huhu thought it was ridiculous.

After he complained, we followed the little boy all the way to a low-lying area.

I saw that he skillfully dug open the land, took out a large box, and then opened it in front of us, and said, "I have given you all the things in it, and I have hired you." ”

I picked up a jade wrench and looked at it, it was an authentic Hetian jade with excellent color, and I knew that it was worth a lot of money at a glance.

Su Crazy even picked up a pure gold wine jug, played with it in his hand, and said, "This wine jug looks like an antique, and it's quite valuable." ”

"Very well, you all like my stuff, then I hired you. From now on, I'm the boss, and you're all my workers. "That little boy, who is not very old, is quite a thief, and he is ashamed to call himself the boss.

When Xu Chengcheng saw so many priceless things, he asked with a suspicious tone, "How can you have such valuable things?" Where did all this stuff come from? Your village is so poor, and you have such valuable things, which can improve your life, but you only take it out now? Is it not the right way? Tell me, where did the stuff come from? ”

The little boy knew that we would be suspicious of him, and replied unhurriedly: "Hmph, this is a passing tourist, and it just so happened that his boat was sunk by a monster in the water, and the thing floated to the shore and was picked up by me." In short, whoever picks up the ownerless property is his. Okay, you're hired by me, remember. ”

And just like that, a little boy of seven or eight years old became the boss of the five of us adults.
