Whoop –

In the sound of flowing water, the Qi water from south to north is like a jade belt in the night, reflecting the silver light of the stars and the moon, rolling up a sparkling wave.

Outside the rippling reeds, on the dirt road, the creaking axles groaned one after another, and several men drove the donkey cart up the river.

The moonlight shone on the clear light, and four or five people were faintly seen on the river beach in front of them, standing at the ferry with torches.

"Caught back?"

"I was caught, and I almost ran to Sikouguan to cross the river and escape! Fortunately, she didn't have the money to take a boat......

As he spoke, the man walked across the body, untied the rope from the sack, and ripped open the upper end of the sack, revealing a childish little face, delicate in appearance, at most thirteen or fourteen years old, with a mouth full of strips of cloth, many bruises around his eyes and cheeks, and a broken cut on his head, and half of his face dyed red.

Woo woo~~~

The girl in the bag shook her head vigorously when she saw the night outside and the light of the torches, begging the other party to let her go, but the man pulled the bag back and frowned.

"How can you marry Qi Shuishen, call a few mothers-in-law to come and dress her up. ”

"I've sent someone back to call. A few men who were driving the car said.

"Trouble!"

The man with the torch waved his hand and told them to drive the donkey cart to the ferry, and then walked to the four men who were still standing there, and bowed respectfully to one of them, clasping his palms together.

"Daxian, the person has been caught, but she is a little injured, and when the mother-in-law in the village comes over, she will be groomed and dressed...... I just don't know if Qi Shuishen will blame if he has an injury. ”

Among the four people, one was wearing a blue robe, with a high bun and a hairpin on it, holding a whisk in his hand and facing the river, and the other finger kept pinching.

Hearing the voice of the man behind him, he shook off the dust, turned around, stopped his fingers, shook his chin and goatee, and said with a smile:

"Don't be in a hurry, the time has not yet come, Qi Shuishen will not blame, just wait for sincerity, by the way, the sacrifice of livestock and the dowry can be prepared?"

The man nodded again and again: "It's complete, just wait for the great immortal to cast a spell and marry this woman to Qi Shuishen." ”

"Okay, this immortal will discuss with Qi Shuishen first, and you urge the village woman to come over and dress her up quickly. ”

The immortal stroked his chin and long beard, and after speaking, he turned around again, facing the long river reflecting the moonlight, closed his eyes, and his lips moved quickly, as if he was talking to someone, the man looked at the Taoist boy who was holding his arms on both sides of the great immortal, and his hair was scattered, he didn't dare to disturb too much, and ran quickly to the ferry, changing his previous respectful look, and scolded the few men who were driving the car.

"Why haven't the people in the village come yet, hurry up and urge them!"

"Ergou has already gone back, and he should be notified door-to-door, come soon. ”

Wow Wow..... Barking.....

Across the acres of fields, the village immersed in darkness in the distance was startled by the barking of dogs, and the man who had run back earlier was knocking on the door from house to house, and did not shout, but slapped three times on the door panel, and then ran to the next house.

Bang bang .....

The dilapidated courtyard door rang, and there was still a dim fire light in the hall opposite, Lu Liangsheng turned his head when he heard the door, and the old man who spoke also turned his face to look at the wooden door outside, got up and cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks and took them to the earthen stove outside.

"That Qi water god, anyway, it works very well, I didn't believe it at the beginning, once, I went out to work in the morning, the ridge was hooked out of a small ditch, and the crops have been irrigated, not only my family, but also a few households, son, do you say it's magical?"

Lu Liangsheng frowned and glanced at the night outside, his fingertips were on the table little by little, what the old man said coincided with what he thought just now, it should be that the little monsters and monsters nearby used demon magic to do something for the villagers, 'earning' some incense, in order to achieve Taoism.

It's just, what's going on with the knock on the door just now?

Just wanted to ask the old man over there, the old man put the dishes and chopsticks into the pot, wiped his hands and came out, saw the scholar walking to the door, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him and push him in.

"Childe, go to bed early, get up early tomorrow and hurry, this is what we agreed before, did you forget?"

Remembering that when he spent the night in the afternoon, a man in the village really said this, Lu Liangsheng also thought that it was just a rule to beware of outsiders, so he didn't feel at ease, and now there was a knock on the door, and the old man mentioned it again, and he couldn't help but be suspicious.

"Naturally, I remembered, so I went to sleep. ”

"Okay, Childe will sleep in my bed, and when the old man comes back, he will put together two benches for one night. ”

The old man smiled and waved his hand, after driving the scholar to sleep, his footsteps walked quickly through the courtyard, opened the latch of the courtyard door and ran out, as if he was not at ease, turned around and inserted a wooden stick into the handle on both sides of the door, the village was close to the neighbors, when the old man passed, in addition to the sleeping children, the adults almost hula poured out of the village entrance and ran to the riverbank.

The sound of human voices and footsteps caused the dogs in the village to bark wildly, Lu Liangsheng, who was sitting in the old man's house, did not make the bed to sleep, and under the shaking oil lamp, the toad Taoist walked out of the cubicle with frog flippers, and he also heard the things in this room clearly.

"Master, do you feel the demonic energy?"

Lu Liangsheng stretched out his hand and pushed the two small short legs hanging on the edge of the table onto the table, the latter didn't care too much, yawned, coiled up, and opened his eyes.

"Nosy...... As a teacher, I didn't feel the demonic spirit. ”

No demonic spirits?

Looking at the burning wick, Lu Liangsheng knew that the master was the most sensitive to demonic energy, if he said that there was no demonic energy, naturally there would be no demonic energy, was it fundamentally different from what I thought before?

"If you want to go out and see what is going on, just go, what to worry about. The toad Taoist understood the apprentice's thoughts, and waved his frog flippers weakly, "Go early and return early, and sleep for the teacher first." ”

Lu Liangsheng didn't speak, got up and opened the door of the hall, jumped up, stepped on the earthen wall, splashed a little mud and dust, and then rose again, and disappeared into the night.

On the dirt road outside the village, the villagers rushed to the riverbank ferry, and even the elderly people in the family crowded into the crowd with crutches, and followed everyone to kowtow to the 'great immortal' standing on the big rock on the river bank in front of them.

"The god of Qi water blesses, and the bride will be sent to the immortal mansion in a while!" "I hope that in the coming year, the crops will be harvested....."

"Bless, Zhao Daxian start quickly!"

In such a voice, the Taoist priest known as the Great Immortal, pillow and dust, turned around, slowly opened his eyes, and smiled at the villagers who knelt down and kowtowed.

"This immortal has been channeled with Qi Shuishen, his old man agreed to this marriage, all the villagers relaxed, and married the bride to the Xianjun Mansion, in the future, your village is smooth every year, eat and drink without worry!

Among the people in the village who worshipped below, someone shouted: "There is one, but a scholar who has spent the night, and he has already fallen asleep." ”

The Taoist stroked his long beard and thought about it, a scholar is nothing, he has no power to restrain the chicken, and he can't make any mess, so he just smiled and nodded.

"Since this is the case, then the immortal will start to do it, take the bride to the ferry!"

"Thank you Zhao Daxian, begging for blessings for my Lijia Village!"

"Over there, hurry up and dress up the bride and send it to the ferry!"

There was the direction of the donkey cart, the glow of the burning torches, the rattling of the iron chains, and the girl in a red wedding dress was dragged over by a few stout village women.

"Please..... I don't want to marry...... Please don't throw me down the river...... I beg you to ......"

The man guarding the bridge brought a grinding plate, ignored the crying girl, directly tied the iron chain around her neck to the stone mill, and waved: "Send the bride!"

"Don't make a noise!"

A few strong women roared with the girl and walked straight to the front of the bridge.

The wind blew through the night, and on a lonely tree in the field, Lu Liangsheng stood lightly on the branches and leaves, staring at the Taoist on the rock, and the girl who was carried to the bridge.

"I thought there was really a demon, but it turned out to be a ghost pretending to be a god!"

Under the green shirt and white robe caressed by the wind, the skin on the back was covered with a little starlight, and a series of bubbles rose on the flowing water surface of the distant river and the flowing water.

There was a chill.
