Volume 1: The Taoist Priest Descends the Mountain Chapter 17 The River God Marries the Sword and Retreats the Giant Tortoise

Waiting for the two to finish chatting, in order not to disturb the two of them talking about sex, Lu Ping had been waiting at the door for a long time, and when he saw the two of them getting up and walking back, he hurriedly ran over, and said to the two of them sincerely: "Thank you for the help of the two heroes, this kind of high righteousness Lu Ping has nothing to say, he can only always remember in his heart, as long as the two of them need to summon Lu Ping in the future, he should go all out." ”

Mu Qingyi just smiled freely: "Lu Gongzi doesn't need to be like this, I just hope that Lu Dashuai will assess the Yanzhou Rebellion as soon as possible, and return the people to peace." ”

"Although Han Tong'er was beheaded today, Manichaeism must be more dangerous next time, and Poor Dao thought that it was better to leave as soon as possible. Liu Zhenquan also had no intention of asking for anything, but slowly expressed his opinion.

"What the Taoist chief said is extremely true, but Uncle Liu and the others are all injured, and they are afraid that it will be inconvenient to walk, and it is not safe to stay here. ”

Seeing Lu Ping's hesitation, Liu Zhenquan said with a smile: "Although the others are injured but walk unharmed, wait for the poor road and Mu Daxia to make a stretcher and carry Liu Daxia, stay here and can't heal the injury, just entrust them to the name of the village at the foot of the mountain, Manichaeism wants to arrest Gongzi and Miss, as long as you two go to a safe place, the others are in danger and solve themselves." ”

Hearing this, Lu Ping thought for a while and said: "Ping is confused in the game, thank you for your doubts." ”

After thanking Lu Ping for hurriedly running to arrange, Mu Qingyi said: "This Miss Lu is old but rude, but this Lu Gongzi is young but old, it's really a strange thing." ”

"Brother Shepherd, the burden of escorting along the way is not light. ”

"Who's to say no, may I ask where the chief is going, can you stop by the way?"

"The poor road wants to go to the east of the river. ”

"It turns out that the Taoist chief is Hedong Liu, that is the disrespect and disrespect of the family. ”

"It's a big family, it can only be regarded as a small family in Hedong, and there is no kinship with that Hedong Liu. ”

"That's just the way, you need to go to Heluo to the east of the river, and Tsing Yi can just go with the Taoist chief. ”

"That's good, poor people don't know the way. ”

The two chatted for a while, only to see that Lu Ping had already made arrangements, and turned around to help carry people.

Because of the drag of the wounded, the group walked for four days before leaving the mountain range, fortunately, this time just killed the Manichaeans, and broke their protectors, and the Manichaeans couldn't integrate their strength for a while to trouble Liu Zhenquan and his party.

After entrusting the injured family to the name of the honest village under the mountain, the group hired two carriages to travel all the way, planning to go up the river from the Jialing River to Heluo as soon as possible, Lu Wanrong learned that Liu Zhenquan needed to walk with them all the way to Heluo, although there was no way but he couldn't be happy, he had always been angry that Liu Zhenquan didn't give her face, you must know how much effort the children of the major clans in Jiangling spent in order to make her laugh.

On this day, I happened to arrive at the Jiangling Ferry, the ferry was prosperous Lu Wanrong begged Lu Ping to get off the car to breathe, and the other two were also willing to rest here for a day, anyway, they wanted to change boats here and simply take a rest, Liu Zhenquan also hated this kind of carriage without shock absorption, and the bones of the whole body were scattered due to the bumps along the way, and as soon as he arrived at the inn, he found a room and went to rest.

The next day, the four of them chartered a medium-sized ferry boat to go up the river, and after a long time, they saw a strong wind blowing on the river, and the river was turbulent, and the boat boss immediately wanted to dock and anchor when he saw that it was wrong, but no matter how the experienced boat boss took the helm, there was no way to make the ship change direction, and saw that the other ships had left the wide river, and shouted to the sailors urgently: "Call everyone out quickly and worship the river god." ”

The movement at this time had already alarmed the people in the cabin, Liu Zhenquan looked at the turbulent river and frowned, and there was no problem in his heart at the moment.

I saw a huge whirlpool appear in the river, and a giant turtle slowly appeared from the whirlpool, everyone lost their temper for a while, and the boat boss took the sailor to kneel and bowed: "The river god grandpa is gracious, and the villain will definitely offer wine and food in the future." The giant tortoise looked at it and said: "Today, the river god marries, and the boat is all the relatives of the river god, as long as the bride Baoer is sacrificed, it will be fine." ”

"There are only female dependents on the boat, and there is no bride to be married to the river god, I wonder if there is another secret?" asked Liu Zhenquan.

The giant turtle heard this and said angrily: "Bald, that person doesn't know anything, how can the river god make a mistake, quickly call the bride out, and be careful that the river god is angry in time if you mistakenly make a mistake, so that you and the others will be buried under the water." ”

Liu Zhenquan was not annoyed and asked calmly: "Since the river god is sure, can you tell me what happened, so that I can also know." ”

"Yesterday the river god saw a woman in the river temple incense, willing to marry with it, today saw this woman on this boat sent the old turtle to greet the family, quickly invited the woman to come, do not delay the old turtle errand, otherwise you will have a good time. ”

Liu Zhenquan basically guessed the matter after listening to it, but he still said to the giant turtle: "Don't be annoyed by the turtle seniors, let the poor go in and ask the female relatives, if the situation is true, you will definitely give a satisfactory explanation to the seniors." ”

"Don't let me wait long, old turtle. ”

Liu Zhenquan turned around and entered the hatch, only to see Lu Wanrong lying on Lu Ping in pain, "Brother help me, I don't want to marry the river god." Thinking that Liu Zhenquan's conversation with the old turtle was already known to them, but it was also much more convenient, Liu Zhenquan asked: "Dare to ask Miss Lu if she went to the River Temple yesterday to make incense?" "Yesterday, I got off the car and saw the lively sacrifice of the River Temple, so I ran over to take a tour, who knew that it would cause such a disaster." ”

After listening to Lu Wanrong's sure words, Lu Ping said: "Dao Chief, can you do it?" Liu Zhenquan looked at Lu Ping, who was panicked but still held himself up, and said with relief: "Poor Dao will first ask the boat boss about the character of this river god, and then take care of it." ”

At this time, Mu Qingyi came over and whispered: "Brother Liu is so sure? I have only killed people in my life, and I have never seen monsters, so I will accompany you on a trip to see if my sword can kill demons." ”

After listening to Mu Qingyi's words, Liu Zhenquan was very moved, and saw a real hero who valued life and death lightly. When I got to the door, I saw the boat boss who was still kowtowing and asked softly, "Uncle, is this usually the same as this river god?"

The boat boss sighed and said, " There was no river god in this Jialing River, at the beginning someone accidentally fell into the water, there was a big herring fish that would save people ashore, and over time the Jialing River wharf had the tradition of worshiping the river god, about 30 years ago, when I was still a big guy, with my father running the boat, that day was also like today, the water surface rolled not long when the water surface was flooded with a large area of blood, a large piece of blood water on the water surface when the waves rolled not long, a large herring corpse of more than two zhang long was washed to the river, since then I heard that the river god changed, requiring us to sacrifice three animals on the fifteenth day of the first month of each month, otherwise the water must rush to the embankment。 Today, the river god wants to marry, and beg the Taoist chief to discuss it objectively with the inside, otherwise we will die in the belly of the fish with a boatload of nine people. ”

Looking at the trembling appearance of the boat boss, Liu Zhenquan said to Mu Qingyi: "I'm afraid there is no way to get good about this matter, I'm going to talk to that monster to see if I can scare it back, and when we get started, you can protect the second sister and brother of the Lu family first." ”

Liu Zhenquan came to the bow of the boat and said: "Senior turtle, can you pass through the river god master, the mortal marriage needs three media and six hires, and it also needs the order of the parents, can you let me wait for the past, and wait for the parents to come to get married?"

The giant turtle was furious: "You little Taoist priest is not a good person, don't want to coax me, when your old turtle grandfather is easy to deceive, since you don't want the old turtle, I will take it myself." After that, controlling the river water and turning into multiple water columns, he rushed directly to the boat, Liu Zhenquan took out the yin and yang umbrella, and secretly said in his heart, "Good baby, I have to rely on you this time." "Running the mana and converging on the umbrella, the umbrella surface flashed with bursts of spiritual light, and automatically flew out of his hand to the top of the ferry, emitting bursts of blue light from under the umbrella to put the whole boat in the blue light. The water column was just about to approach the ferry, the yin and yang umbrella rotated slightly, and the water column immediately changed direction and fell to the river, Liu Zhenquan laughed, "Why doesn't the old turtle have strength?" The old turtle was even more annoyed when he heard the bloodshot in his eyes, and a number of water columns appeared on the river, rushing to the ferry boat from all directions at once, Liu Zhenquan played a trick, and put a few more mana into the yin and yang umbrella, only to see that the speed of the umbrella surface accelerated, and those water columns were like a rainstorm hitting the high-speed rotating umbrella surface, and they were thrown aside one by one.

"Old turtle, what else do you have to do, just use it. Liu Zhenquan looked at the old turtle's annoyed and angry appearance, and became more calm. The old turtle then retreated and slammed straight into the boat, but as if it had hit cotton, it was not stressed at all. The old turtle was unwilling to fail and hit the bow of the boat again and again, but every time it was in vain, this ferry boat was like a fallen leaf floating on the water, and no matter how big the wind and waves could not overturn it.

Liu Zhenquan leaned out of the bow of the boat, looked at the panting old turtle and shouted, "Tired, you're not tired, I'm tired when I look at it." The old turtle was also aroused to be ferocious, whether it was the river god who ordered to take the bride back, and directly sank the boat and no matter what the marriage was, the surrounding ferry swam away quickly, and slowly a whirlpool appeared in the center of the ferry, Liu Zhenquan felt that the boat would really be dragged into the bottom of the water if it went down like this, at that time he really couldn't protect everyone, removed the parasol, held the sword in his hand and paid attention to a large amount of mana, only to see the peach wood sword seemed to have a spirit straight towards the old turtle, the old turtle felt a terrifying aura approaching, looked up and saw the frightened three souls out of the sheath and seven spirits out of the body, the body that had been locked, reluctantly deviated, a sword flew over and cut off a forefoot, and fled into the bottom of the river with a painful roar in his mouth, bringing up a pool of blood.
