However, the soil here is dry, and they have been digging the soil for half a day but they have not been able to find a single earthworm. I had to ask Bai Xiaoshi and Bai Xiaojiu to dig out some in the spiritual realm.

In the past six months, these two have not often appeared in front of the world because of her southern tour. Therefore, most of the time I stay in the spiritual realm, and I am about to grow hair.

Even so, Bai Xiaoshi still refused: "Let me let such a noble and elegant machine spirit go to give you such a disgusting thing as an earthworm, are you crazy?" ”

The humble realm lord has no way to take the arrogant machine spirit, and he can't always beat it for these trivial things.

had to go and enslave Bai Xiaojiu. Fortunately, Bai Xiaojiu is a handsome, handsome, hardworking and empathetic tiger.

As soon as Jiang Yuqing said it, he immediately agreed, took a small bamboo jar in his mouth and went to dig the soil. It didn't take long to dig a small half jar.

Jiang Yuqing looked at the mollusks in the jar, densely coiled, and felt a wave of discomfort in his stomach. I hurriedly picked up some dirt and covered it, and took the jar out of the spiritual realm.

Before leaving, he threw a bottle of elixir to Bai Xiaojiu, which was regarded as a reward.

Let's say, everyone took a small bench and a simple fishing rod that had just been made to the Jinghe River, picked a place where the water was slow, sat separately and hooked the earthworm and began fishing.

Because Yu Erbium is produced in the Spirit Realm, it is simply very attractive to ordinary fish.

Not long after the hook was thrown off, there were fish on the hook one after another, and they were all big fish of more than five or six catties. After a while, everyone caught five or six.

Such a big harvest really made everyone happy. The small bucket he brought could no longer be filled, so Jiang Yuqing simply took out a large water tank, which was enough to fit.

At this moment, a team dressed in red and green in the distance, carrying a small red sedan chair, came to the Jinghe River, and at first everyone thought it was to pick up the bride.

But the more I looked at it, the more wrong it became.

The pedestrians were not going in the direction of the ferry, and they actually stopped the sedan chair by the river and did not move, as if they were holding some kind of ceremony.

After Jing Yan looked at it for a while, his face suddenly changed, and he said angrily: "Damn, they are actually sacrificing children to the river." ”

When everyone heard this, they were all startled, and they all thrust the fishing rods in their hands into the ground at will, and ran to the sacrificial place with their legs, intending to prevent this tragedy from happening.

Everyone hurried and hurried, but it was still a little bit worse. I watched as the group of fools rowed two five or six-year-old children into the middle of the river in a small boat, and pushed them into the river with a small wooden basin.

The river was turbulent, and when a wave hit, the basin capsized, and the two children were instantly covered in the water.

Jing Yan didn't think much about it, flew directly into the sky, picked up the two children from the water, and flew back to the shore.

Others followed. Jiang Yuqing stuffed his son into Canghai's arms, and he and Doctor Qiu were in charge of one to do emergency cardiopulmonary resuscitation for the children.

Fortunately, the two children did not fall into the water for a long time, and there was not much water in their lungs, and after some rescue, the children coughed up quickly.

Because of the severe fright, both children cried profusely.

Jiang Yuqing shouted: "Whose child is this?" Don't hurry up and take it back. ”

shouted twice in a row, and then a few adults with tears on their faces ran out of the crowd, each holding their own children, and kept coaxing and comforting.

This sudden change made the sacrificial crowd stunned on the spot. After reacting, they all kowtowed to Jing Yan and shouted: "Immortals, I saw immortals today!" ”

Jing Yan scolded angrily with a cold face: "Whose idea was it to sacrifice to the river god? Stand up for yourself, don't let me do it! ”

An old man walked out tremblingly and said, "Immortal, it's a horse half-immortal." She said that by using children and men to worship the river god, the Jinghe River can be avoided from flooding, and the wind and rain will be smooth. ”

"Ridiculous!" Jing Yan was furious: "How long has this matter lasted?" ”

The old man said: "It's been three sessions, every three years, and each session needs a pair of boys and girls. ”

"Good!" Jing Yan was furious. When Emperor Taizu founded the country, he strictly forbade the use of living sacrifices. The royal family abolished the system of burial of the living.

I didn't expect that after many years, there were still people who dared to sacrifice living people, and they really ate the gall of an ambitious leopard.

"Which one is Ma Banxian?" Everyone hurriedly turned back to look for Ma Banxian, but found that she was no longer here.

But it turned out that the old goddess found that something was wrong, and took advantage of everyone's inattention, and quietly ran away.

But after a while, he had already run out of more than half a mile.

Jing Yan gave a look, and Wuya immediately chased after him, but it took more than a dozen breaths to catch Ma Banxian back.

The wrinkles on the old goddess's face were like air-dried orange peels, and the red cinnabar was painted with mysterious runes that others could not understand.

The nails of a pair of hands were all painted blood-red.

Wearing a patchwork, nondescript "magic robe", with a piece of black gauze on his head. At first glance, it looks like that.

After the old woman was arrested, she immediately screamed in an attempt to incite the people again.

"You will be punished for breaking the sacrifices. The river god would surely be angry without the worship of virgins and boys, and then the flood of the Jing River would flood all the fields and houses. ”

Sure enough, when the people heard this, they immediately panicked. Wuyan used his internal strength and shouted: "Silence"! The crowd was silenced again.

Jing Yan walked in front of the horse half-immortal, glanced at her up and down, and burst into a sneer: "It doesn't matter if there are no children, just have you."

The river god told me that he prefers older, chewy, especially those who can communicate with ghosts and spirits, such as you. ”

Feeling the killing intent in his words, Ma Banxian was frightened and struggled desperately: "You are talking nonsense, the river god likes virgins and boys." The old man is disgusted with his teeth, so you let me go quickly. ”

Jing Yan didn't want to give her a superfluous look, and turned her head to ask the people participating in the sacrifice: "Apart from the boys and girls, did you give anything else?" ”

The old man who spoke before said: "Yes, each family also gave another tael of silver, saying that it was to buy other sacrifices for the river god." ”

"How many households, how much money?"

"There are more than 1,300 households in the three villages."

Jiang Yuqing sneered and laughed: "More than 1,300 households are more than 1,300 taels of silver."

The three sessions totaled 4,000 taels of silver. What sacrifice, so expensive, worth so much money?

She is here in the name of sacrificing to the river god, and she is taking you as a big cash cow.

It's just that you are still in a hurry to send money to the child, and you are really being sold and still helping her count the money, which is stupid. ”

Another woman said suspiciously: "But since the priest became the river god, there has indeed been no particularly big flood in the Jinghe River, and the wind and rain have been smooth for the past ten years."

"That's because we're in good time, not because of your sacrifices. There is no sacrifice to the river god in other places in Great Xia, and it is not the same as the wind and rain.

Besides, is the one who needs a priest of a boy or a woman called a river god? The water monster goblins are pretty much the same! Wake up, don't let people fool you anymore. ”

The sacrificial crowd was reprimanded by her, and their faces were red and silent. Thinking of the money I paid, and the children who were thrown into the river to die, I was really ashamed, ashamed and sad.

Jiang Yuqing turned his head and stared at Ma Banxian and said: "After deceiving so many people and killing so many children, aren't you afraid that the souls of those children will come back to you in the middle of the night to ask for your life?" ”

"You, you talk nonsense. I'm not lying, that's what the river god told me. ”

Jiang Yu snorted coldly: "The dead duck has a hard mouth, it seems that you don't cry when you don't see the coffin." ”

As he spoke, he pinched the trick in his hand and set up a phantom array to cover her.

Then a wonderful and weird scene appeared.

Ma Banxian didn't know what terrible scene he saw, his expression was frightened, he waved his arms and shouted: "Don't come, don't come here, don't look for me."

I didn't kill you alone, and Wei Lin, he made me do it.

In this way, a large sum of money can be received. We split the money in half, and he bought two houses in the city."

Now the truth is revealed, and there is no need to say anything.

Jiang Yuqing withdrew the phantom array with a wave of his hand.

Feeling fooled, the angry people rushed up and held down the horse and half immortal to fight to death.

Canghai hurriedly stopped everyone and said, "It's easy to kill her, and when she has explained all her crimes, it's not too late for us to settle accounts with her." ”

Jiang Yuqing was also afraid that the treacherous and cunning Ma Banxian would not tell the truth, so he directly pasted a mantra on her.

Ma Banxian couldn't control himself, and poured beans into the bamboo tube, and explained the facts that he had made up lies with the chief Wei Lin over the years, acted in embarrassment, and defrauded the villagers of their money.

The villagers hated to kill her on the spot.

In particular, if there are children in the family who have been selected to sacrifice to the river god as a boy and a woman, they can't wait to peel their skin and bones and eat their flesh raw.

Fortunately, everyone still had some sense, and said that they would send a team of people back to tie up Wei Lin and confront him.

Jing Yan asked Canghai to follow them on a trip, don't let people run away, and the villagers must get back the money they were cheated of.

Not long after they went, they came back with a lean goatee. Come to think of it, this is that Wei Lin Wei Li is long.

In the face of the accusations of the angry villagers and Ma Banxian, it was useless for Wei Lin to deny it, so he had to make a 1510 move.

Lynching was not advisable, Jing Yan pressed the people again, let Canghai run to the county office, and slipped the county order over.

When the county magistrate first saw the golden imperial decree in Canghai's hand, the whole person trembled.

I also heard that there was a goddess by the Jinghe River who deceived the villagers into marrying a huge amount of money, and when they took the child to sacrifice to the river god, they suddenly broke out in cold sweat and soaked their backs.

As the magistrate of a county, he has to bear a lot of responsibility for such an inhumane thing under his rule.

Any "unfavorable for educating the people" or "responsibility for failing to investigate" is enough for him.

The county commander took the master and a cadre of officials, and hurriedly followed Canghai to the river.

When he saw Jing Yan, he leaned over and bowed: "Long live Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, the queen mother is a thousand years old, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a thousand years old!" ”

Jing Yan asked him expressionlessly: "This matter is in your jurisdiction, what do you have to say?" ”

The county ordered: "Minister, you know that you deserve to die, and you have nothing to say." ”

"In that case, let me excuse myself! Now, waiting! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Only then did the people know that it was the Heaven of Great Xia, their Emperor His Majesty, who saved the two children in front of them and exposed Ma Banxian's tricks.

Holding a child over there, the fairy-like beautiful woman is their queen mother, and the little highness. Niangniang also helped to save people together.

The people who reacted immediately knelt down and shouted long live. Jing Yan asked them all to get up, and neatly and decisively sentenced Wei Lin and Ma Banxian to "waterboarding".

Without them having to make a move, the villagers rushed up and tied the two men with hemp rope.

He rowed into the middle of the river and kicked them into the river, and watched them not even struggle in the water, and soon sank. Finally let out a depressed breath.

In order to cheat money, fool the neighbors, and kill so many children, these two scumbags finally got their due retribution.

The matter was settled, and it was already past noon. The old man who spoke earlier was bold and invited Jing Yan to their village for a light meal.

Jing Yan looked at the nervous and expectant eyes of the villagers, and nodded in agreement.
