On the Bianhe River, there are mighty smoke waves, and the big ships are galloping with the wind from west to east. At this time, Liang Shiming and Lu Yezi had already entered Nanzhili by big boat and were at the boundary of Fengyang Mansion.

After asking the boss of the boat, he learned that there is no need to go back to Baishui Town to Wujin by land, and this return trip only needs to take a big boat all the way and go straight to Wujin along the Bianhe River.

Along the way, the two of them had already talked about their troubles, and then they began to think endlessly, and when they talked about their interest, they felt much happier.

Lu Yezi once said that when the elder brother of the immortal cultivator came out of the mountain, he would hand over the Maoshan Strange Treasure Iron Rod to him, so that he could help Master Huiwu defeat the evil way with one hand, and then only need to find the ivory mark to revive the glory of Maoshan!

And Liang Shiming wanted to send more people to Maoshan to find Buhong's remains after saving his father, and put him in the ground. In addition, Lu Yezi should stay for a few more days, one is to fulfill the friendship of the landlord, and the other is to thank the good students, and also said that they want to go to the county with him to enjoy the tour.

At this moment, on the bow of the boat, the river breeze was blowing, Liang Shiming looked at the golden autumn willows on both sides, thinking that he was about to go home for reunion, his heart was overjoyed, and on a whim, he immediately groaned: "

10,000 dragon ships are carried to Yangzhou and will not be returned.

It should be the Heavenly Sect that opens the water, and there are no mountains for more than a thousand miles. ”

On the deck, Lu Yezi sat next to the wooden box with wine and food, took a sip of wine, shook his head and enjoyed it, and then praised: "Good poetry, good poetry!

Liang Shiming arched his hand slightly, and said: "How dare you, this is the masterpiece of the 'Lumenzi' immortal!"

"Lumenzi?" Lu Yezi immediately put down the bamboo chopsticks and asked with an angry face, "What is the relationship between it and that antler-antler immortal and horse-faced Taoist?"

Liang Shiming smiled and said: "Lumenzi is the road number of Mr. 'Pi Rixiu', and this article is Mr. 'Bianhe Nostalgia'. He is a person from the Tang Dynasty, and he is willing to say to that horse's face?"

Lu Yezi pursed his lips in embarrassment, then walked to Liang Shiming's side at the bow of the boat and asked, "Where is the front?"

Liang Shiming looked into the distance, and saw that the boats on the distant riverbank were gathering and busy, so he said: "According to what the boss of the boat said, the front should be Suzhou, Fengyang Mansion!"

"Suzhou?"

Liang Shiming nodded and said: "Suzhou is the place where boats and vehicles meet, the thoroughfare of Kyushu, and it is also a military important place to control Huai. Thinking that back then, Confucius performed here, and he brought the great sage 'Min Ziqian' into his door. ”

Lu Yezi asked tightly: "Is it Min Zi, one of the seventy-two sages of Confucius, known as the 'Filial Piety Sage'?"

Liang Shiming looked at Lu Yezi in surprise and said, "Exactly, exactly!"

Lu Yezi stroked his dog oil beard, looked at Liang Shiming for a moment, and said: "Right now, from the perspective of Dao Ye and me, Liang Gongzi is trying to save his father, trekking through mountains and rivers, regardless of life and death, comparable to Min Ziqian!"

Liang Shiming said in fear: "How dare you, how dare the younger generation compare themselves to Min Xian?"

Lu Yezi pretended to be serious and said: "No, I think it's comparable!"

Liang Shiming then saw that Lu Yezi was playing with himself, and he said a few words of sarcasm, and the two of them laughed again.

Between the jokes, the big boat has come to the ferry port of Yinqiao Town, Suzhou.

Boats of all sizes are congested at the ferry, and porters and passengers shuttle back and forth.

Just because the big ship they were on was in urgent need of supplies, the captain of the ship told the two of them that they had to delay for some time, so they might as well walk around.

The two of them were tired after a day of sailing, so they took the springboard to the river bank and stretched their muscles.

Just because there is still some distance from the county seat, there are only some scattered paving around, and the two of them saw that there was nothing to buy, so they walked along the road.

The two walked and watched under the shade of the willows, and after a short time, they went into the countryside and asked a child, saying that this place was Honghe Village.

At this time, they heard many children clamoring to go to the river to see the gods, and they were so surprised that they went with them.

Following the child, the two trotted all the way, and arrived at the river after a stick of incense.

Looking from afar, I saw a stone high platform, a big apricot yellow flag fluttering in the wind, and the crowd had already gathered everywhere under the stage, rubbing shoulders and crowding.

Seeing this, Lu Yezi's face was stunned, and he exclaimed: "This dojo is not small!"

Liang Shiming asked puzzledly: "What is not small?"

Lu Yezi nodded his finger and said: "Look! Tai Chi is nine feet nine feet high, the apricot zodiac flags are planted all over the octagonal, and the Dao children are standing on all sides, such a formation is not huge for such a village!"

When the two approached, they saw that there was an incense case in the middle of the high platform, a magic instrument on it, and a large wax with the thickness of the wrist "poo" green smoke. There was a thin underworld man standing next to the incense case, this Taoist was wearing an apricot yellow Tai Chi robe, holding a vermilion mahogany sword in his right hand, and pointing at the ground with two fingers in his left hand, and his mouth was chattering.

Because they were blocked by the stone platform, the two of them couldn't see what the thin underworld man was referring to, so they squeezed into it again, and then they saw along the gap in the stone platform that the thin underworld man was referring to a ...... who was tied up with five flowers

Girlish!

This girl has fair skin and red makeup, and at the moment she lowers her head and eyebrows, and her face is not very clear.

Seeing that he actually used a living person to sacrifice to the gods, not only Liang Shiming, but also Lu Yezi couldn't help but be surprised.

Not understanding the reason for this, Liang Shiming hurriedly asked in a loud voice beside him, "Why do you want to tie up that woman!?"

Before Liang Shiming's words fell, a fat middle-aged man in front of him turned his face and said, "Why? Of course, it is a sacrifice to the river god! Recently, the river has a strange whirlwind, and soon after all, fishermen die tragically in the water, and the torn corpses always float to the shore, making people panic!"

Before the white fat middle-aged man's voice fell, Liang Shiming saw a small man with a sharp beak on the cheeks on his right: "Yes, according to what the immortal chief on this high platform said, it is caused by the wrath of the river god!

At the same time, standing on Liang Shiming's left hand, a white-haired old man who was old and vicissitudes sighed: "Alas, this woman is so pitiful!"

The white fat middle-aged man reprimanded: "If she doesn't die, someone must die in order to pacify the river god! It is better to let her die as a foreigner than to let us die as a native woman!"

The old man glared at the white fat middle-aged man and reprimanded, "Hmph!

The little man with the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks said with a wicked smile: "Yo, Uncle Zhang, I'm afraid you're taking a fancy to other girls, right!?"

Seeing the little man's words and jokes, the old man raised his eyebrows and scolded: "I'll beat you little brute!

The little man hurriedly laughed and dodged, and said tightly: "Uncle, don't fight, the little one is wrong, isn't it okay if it's wrong?"

At this moment, the white fat middle-aged man shook his head slightly after thinking about it, and said, "Alas, Uncle Zhang is right, no matter where this woman is, now she has sacrificed to the river god, but she is pitiful!"

The little man said tightly: "It's a pity, it's a pity! Don't you see, this woman looks good, tsk...... If you can kiss Fangze, it's worth dying!"

The white fat middle-aged man said disdainfully: "What do you look like, you say that you are so exaggerated?"

The little man glared at him, and refuted: "Exaggerated, you wait......" After that, he stood on tiptoe, jumped twice, struggled to look out of the crowd, and said, "The king glanced at this woman, and ran home in a hurry, presumably to take two taels of silver, and he should come back soon! He said that he would buy this woman for a lot of money and make his stupid son a daughter-in-law......

Hearing the little man say this, many people gathered around him and asked if what he said was true.

At this point, Liang Shiming and Lu Yezi also understood the reason.

Lu Yezi couldn't help but scold: "What kind of river god? According to Dao Ye, in my opinion, it is a river demon!"

Afraid that Lu Yezi would provoke right and wrong, Liang Shiming asked him to be quiet, and then looked at the woman on the high platform. Honghe Village

Looking at the woman who was tied up and waiting to be killed, thinking that she must have a miserable background, otherwise she would not have been selected to sacrifice the river demon, Liang Shiming was heartbroken at this time. At the same time, it is better to think that if any rich family is willing to buy her home, it is better than dying in the river and feeding fish and shrimp, which is also a matter of virtue. But after thinking about it again, even if someone saves this woman, it will only be another woman with a tragic background to die, that's all.

At this time, looking at Lu Yezi, who was looking up at the high platform, Liang Shiming patted him on the shoulder and said, "Dao Chief, why don't I wait to report to the official!"

The next moment, without waiting for Lu Yezi to speak, someone shouted loudly outside the crowd behind him: "Hurry, hurry! Throw it down! The official army is coming, the official army is coming!"

The two of them followed the sound and looked at everyone together, only to see in the distance, where the smoke and dust were flying, there were more than a dozen tall horses galloping towards this side. In the meantime, two fast horses came up first, and immediately two vicious soldiers came out of the crowd and whipped passers-by to make way for the horses.

After a short time, the crowd withdrew to both sides, making way for a direct road to the high platform, and then a dozen tall horses arrived.

At this time, Liang Shiming saw that the dozen or so people who arrived later were not all officers and soldiers, but the first row of people on horses were five Taoist priests.

Among the five Taoist priests, except for the first one who rode a white horse in the middle, the rest were all around 50 years old, and they looked weathered and experienced.

Located in the center, the leader sitting on the white horse is a young Taoist priest, dressed in a blue Taoist robe, wearing a brocade yellow robe, and wearing a nine-beam Taoist crown inlaid with treasure and jade.

The young Taoist priest is in his early twenties, with thick eyebrows and small eyes, a square nose and mouth, and his appearance is quite standard, but those small eyes, no matter when they look, they seem to have never opened.

At this time, after the two soldiers who arrived first shouted a few words, the audience fell silent, and then the soldiers shouted: "Anyone in charge, get out of one!"

After a while, a middle-aged man who looked like a squire came running over, and asked tremblingly, "Master Jun, I don't know what to order?"

The soldier shouted: "Bold! This is Taichang Temple, Lord Shaoqing!

Unexpectedly, the young Taoist priest in front of them was actually a high-ranking official of the fourth grade, and immediately knelt on the ground. Lu Yezi, who was full of disdain, was reluctant at first, and then he was pulled down by Liang Shiming and squatted down together.

At this time, the young Taoist priest raised his horsewhip, pointed to the high platform, and asked blankly, "What are you waiting for?"

The squire replied: "The river god here is furious, and the villagers have been killed repeatedly. ”

"Just a method?" the young Taoist priest asked tightly.

The squire was stunned and said, "Return, return ......"

"Say!" exclaimed the soldier.

"They're going to throw that woman into the river to worship the gods!" Not only someone in the crowd shouted, Liang Shiming could vaguely hear it, and the voice seemed to be the white-haired old man who had just gone through the vicissitudes of life.

At this shout, the middle-aged squire who fell to his knees trembled.

The young Taoist priest snorted coldly and said: "My Ming National Master is a sect of 'to a real person', he adheres to the law of the day, helps the world and saves the people, how can you ignore the law of heaven and easily bow to the demon in the water!?"

When everyone present saw this divine law, they were all dumbfounded and shocked.

Seeing everyone's surprised appearance, Lu Yezi pursed his lips disdainfully and said in a low voice, "What world have you seen?"

Liang Shiming hurriedly stopped him and asked him to make less trouble.

At this moment, the young Taoist priest, with the support of the soldiers on the left and right, got off the horse, and then walked towards the high platform with the admiring eyes of everyone.

On the high platform, the thin underworld man who was wearing a magic robe and holding a wooden sword was already frightened like chaff at this moment, kneeling on the ground and trembling.

The young Taoist priest walked up to the high platform, and then sent soldiers to convict the thin underworld man for harassing the villagers, and forcibly took him away, and then personally untied the rope for the woman in red.

When the tie was loosened, when the young Taoist priest saw the woman's face, his body was suddenly stunned, and he was busy whispering a few words to the soldiers beside him, and then picked up the woman and walked to the high platform.

At this moment, the soldiers beside him shouted loudly: "There is an evil way today, and it is already a crime to disturb the villagers. This innocent woman, Lord Shaoqing brought back to the yamen for temporary placement. And the evil matter in the river, Lord Shaoqing has already responded, and he will come to investigate this matter thoroughly tomorrow!"

Some people applauded, some people were annoyed and angry, and even said that the young Taoist priest was not kind and oppressed people with power, and actually abducted the woman in broad daylight.

But Liang Shiming was grateful to this young Taoist priest in his heart, and now he not only let the woman in red live, but also took the matter, so that no woman died innocently.

Thinking of this, Liang Shiming looked at the high platform with everyone's eyes, and at this moment, the young Taoist priest was slowly walking down the steps with the woman in red in his arms.

And when Liang Shiming's gaze swept over the young Taoist priest, and then fell on the face of the woman in red......

"Ah!!h

On a sunny day, Liang Shiming was instantly shocked in place.

Just because he saw it really and really, at this moment, the woman in red in the arms of the young Taoist priest was exactly ......

Jin Jiao!
