Chapter 227: Carp Demon
Fengqiu City is not far from the Yellow River, just a few miles away.
Many of the city's fishermen who depend on the Yellow River for their livelihood will go out early and return late to catch fish and shrimp on the river to make ends meet.
Therefore, the slightest change in the water of the Yellow River is the first to be noticed by the fishermen, and the news is transmitted back to the city, which naturally causes great panic.
Mo Xuan knew that the great river would flood in the next few thousand years, but he didn't expect that in the era of Dashang, the people would be terrified when they heard that the Yellow River was rising.
"It seems that the Yellow River in the Shang Dynasty has flooded...... Mo Xuan muttered a few words, riding on Xiao Hei's back, looking at the residents in the city who were packing up their belongings and going out of the city to avoid disaster, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
"The three sons don't have to be afraid, what the water god says is all nonsense. Qilong said slightly angrily: "There is a water temple by the river, and I don't know what year it was built, and it is not dedicated to our Great Shang King, but it is to worship the former dynasty Dayu!
Qilong looked angry, turned his head and asked the three of them, "The three sons are from Jinao City, they are well-informed, and they have to educate those foolish people when the time comes!"
Feng Wuxian and Zi Yu glanced at each other, not knowing what to say.
Feng Wuxian is not a person from a big business, he is not interested in the water god set by the king of Shang, although Zi Yu is a courtier, but he is only a common people, and he went to the temple and did not worship whoever the priest said, but he did not pay attention to who was worshiped on the water god.
Only Mo Xuan smiled faintly, knowing a lot about this matter.
"The god of Xuan Ming set by the king is the grandson of the sage Yellow Emperor, named Zhuan, and after his death, he was promoted to the emperor of the northern water virtue, and his status is much higher than that of Dayu...... Mo Xuan explained.
Qilong was overjoyed, "Prince Mo Xuan is really knowledgeable and talented!"
"But there is one thing that is difficult to do...... Mo Xuan glanced at the ruler dragon, "This Dayu water god is a god that the priests of the Witch God Temple often worship, you let the three of us." How do you go against the Witch Temple?"
Qilong was slightly stunned, and only then did he remember that Mo Xuan, Feng Wuji and Ziyu were all from the Jinao Academy.
Although the dean of the Jinao Academy Palace is Taishi Wen Zhong, who belongs to the military, the teachers and the secret methods of immortal magic are all taught by the wizard priests of the Witch God Temple, which means that these three people are also students of the Witch God Temple, let them criticize the priests for Dayu. It's impossible.
The ruler dragon looked slightly embarrassed, "Since it's inconvenient, then I'll deal with it......"
"But don't worry, the city lord, the three of us are martial arts cultivators, and we will definitely not help the city defense army...... Mo Xuan said lightly: "The three of us are just here to see what kind of water god it is, whether it is true or not." ”
Qilong's face softened, "Since it is my own family, of course the city lord can't force it...... Come on, protect the three sons!"
Drink it. The ruler dragon nodded and rode his horse forward.
Feng Wuji pouted and said, "I don't need us, we run fast...... They don't seem to like the Witch God Temple very much, huh?"
Mo Xuan said slowly: "It's not just them. I'm afraid the whole royal court doesn't like ......"
Ziyu's eyes widened, "How do you say this?"
"Zi Yu you have lived in Chaoge for a long time, if something goes wrong with Chaoge, you guess the common people listen to the priests. Or do you want to listen to the city lord?" Mo Xuan said with a smile.
"Of course it's up to the priests!" Zi Yu immediately replied: "The priests can divinate good fortune and misfortune, what can these city defenders help with......
"So, ah, rise to the level of the Witch God Temple......" Mo Xuan's voice lowered. Said slowly: "There is a problem with Dashang, do you believe in the king, or believe in the witch temple?"
"Wu ......" Zi Yu hesitated slightly, "The temple ......"
Feng Wuzhi's eyes burned, "This is not something we can ...... interfere in."
Zi Yu's brows furrowed, "I still want to be a general to make my mother beautiful, but now I think it's better to be a priest......"
"Hey, anyway, you also have the talent of earth immortal arts, and it's not impossible to be a wizard in the army in the future......" Feng Wuji comforted Zi and said vainly: "Look, there are so many people in front!"
Mo Xuan looked up and saw a vast corn field in front of him, with a row of willow trees several meters high planted on the edge of the field, the branches of the willow trees were bent and knotted, and the bark was rough and full of cracks, with obvious signs of cracking.
Behind the willow forest, there is a large embankment that is a little higher than the city wall of Fengqiu City, and at this time there are thousands of people surrounding the embankment, and the bustling people don't know what to see.
"Get out of the way! The city lord is here!" the guard officer next to him shouted, and the people on the embankment turned their heads to look over, but there were few people who made way for the ruler dragon.
Qilong's face sank, and he waved his hand to the sergeant beside him, "Go, take down the noisy rumor-mongers for me!"
"Yes!"
Hundreds of soldiers lined up their swords, and immediately went up to catch those sacrificial people, Mo Xuan saw from a distance, the old man who was looking for himself at the gate of the city before, would also kneel on the river embankment, and there was a three-legged copper tripod in front of him, and there was a plaque behind the tripod that they had brought thousands of miles away.
"The water god sacrifice ceremony has begun, who dares to make noise!" shouted in the crowd, and a bald head dressed in a moon-white robe walked out slowly.
Mo Xuan recognized it at a glance, this person was wearing the priest's robe of the Witch God Temple, and he didn't know if it was Yabu or Buzheng.
Suddenly, at this time, the voice of the witch slave came, "Master, this priest is a demon clan of about three rounds......"
"Demon Clan?!" Mo Xuan glanced up and down at the bald priest, the priest's eyes were glowing with a slight orange-yellow luster, and the two slender eight-figure beards on the side of his mouth were like two fish whiskers, plus the bald head and cheeks were quite swollen, at first glance, he thought that the face of this life was square, but the witch slave reminded Mo Xuan in his heart, "This thing is a fish demon, right?"
"It's a carp demon...... the witch slave said slowly.
Mo Xuan glanced at the cultivation of the ruler dragon, his cultivation was higher than his own, and the specific realm could not be directly detected according to the breath, but the divine thought had an impression of other wheel-level cultivation masters, and he could compare the degree of the ruler dragon, which was the benefit of the divine thought being strong enough.
"The breath is stronger than Bukit...... Much lower than Yu Heng'er...... "Mo Xuan didn't need to ask Wu Nu, he secretly felt it, and then deduced that the cultivation of the ruler dragon was about the late second round......
In this way, there is no chance of winning against the carp demon, especially under the premise that there is a rolling Yellow River next to it, the fish demon can enhance the water system demon at any time with the help of water power, and everyone is even more difficult to fight.
"Let's see what this fish demon plans to do first......" Mo Xuan said to the witch slave.
"Master, the Duobao toad seems to have sniffed something...... Wu Nu said.
Mo Xuan raised his eyebrows, "Okay, I haven't used it since I received the Duobao Toad, so let him go out and find it this time!"
"Please ask the master to delay the fish demon and don't let it go into the water, the witch slave guessed that it was probably this fish demon who had collected some good things that attracted the Duobao toad ......"
Mo Xuan nodded, it seemed that he had to intervene.
......
"Where are you, priest?" Qilong frowned and glanced at him, seeing that he was wearing a priest's robe, he didn't dare to force him.
"Me?" the bald head smiled faintly, "I am the Bu Zheng of the Witch God Temple, and I have a jade plate as proof!"
As he spoke, the bald priest took out a jade plaque from his bosom, and the purity of this jade plaque was indeed an identity certificate that only the Witch God Temple could afford.
Mo Xuan squinted and looked at it, the jade plate said Golden Carp Wu Zheng, the workmanship was quite fine, and it didn't look like a forgery.
Qilong glanced back at Mo Xuan with some hesitation, as if he didn't recognize the authenticity of this identity card, and had the intention of asking for help......
Mo Xuan shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't know whether it was true or false.
Spiders like Flame Spider Dabu, and Tiger Demons like Vice President Baihe can all be priests and wizards of the Witch God Temple, and I really don't dare to be sure if this carp demon is a person from the Witch God Temple.
Qilong looked calm, and pointed to the priests on the river embankment: "I heard that there are people here who pray to the river god to flood Fengqiu City?
Mo Xuan glanced at the old man on the riverbank, at this time he was kneeling down and bowing to the west bank of the river, where there was a golden-domed temple faintly in the willow forest, and I don't know what material it was built of, which was quite dazzling.
"Heh, Lord of the City, haven't you always believed in the miracles of gods, why do you believe in it now?" In the priest procession, some young men sneered at the ruler dragon.
Qilong is also the lord of the city, and he is ridiculed by the ordinary people like this, of course, his face is not good-looking.
At this time, the bald priest stretched out his hand slightly, signaling everyone not to make a noise, and without even saying a word, the young men immediately shut up and followed the priest team slowly in fear, not daring to raise their heads again.
When the ruler dragon saw that he had no prestige among these people, he was immediately a little annoyed and angry, "Jin Libu Zheng, these chaotic people are confusing the people, I will take them down today!"
"You dare!" The bald priest's orange eyes glared, and he waved his hand A misty water light shot out from the Yellow River, coiling on the priest's arm, and would attack at any time, "You detain those water gods' human animals, I haven't looked for your trouble, you dare to interfere with my sacrificial ceremony!"
When the ruler dragon saw this momentum, he suddenly lost his breath, and secretly gritted his teeth and did not dare to respond.
Mo Xuan saw the bald priest's smug face, and was about to follow the sacrificial procession, so he shouted at him, "Since you have a water immortal technique, how can you become a priest?
The bald head turned his head and glanced at Mo Xuan, "Who are you?"
"I'm Jinao City, a student of Jinao Academy......" Mo Xuan smiled slightly: "Yan Spider Dabu should be somewhat famous in the Witch God Temple, I don't know if you can recognize it?"
The bald head was stunned for a moment, his face suddenly relaxed, and he looked at Mo Xuan with a smile and greeted him, "It turned out to be someone from the Jinao Academy, how is the Flame Spider Dabu lately?"
"It turns out that it's really a person from the Witch God Temple...... Mo Xuan was slightly happy in his heart, so he had an excuse to delay this carp demon to find the treasure for the Duobao Toad. (To be continued......)
