Chapter Twenty-Six: The Pentateuch
Under the bonfire, the crowd surrounded the ancestral hall of Shiqiao Village on three floors and three layers outside.
One by one, the people of the River Temple were trapped tightly and knelt down in front of the ancestral hall, and everyone looked at them with eyes like ignited flames, just waiting for an order to burn them to ashes.
Among these people, some family members died at their hands, some children were taken away by them, and some were looted and bullied by them and had to sell their land and daughters.
If it weren't for the order of the immortals, the people of the ten miles and eight towns would be eager to skin and extract their bones and eat their flesh raw.
While everyone was waiting, the door of the ancestral hall suddenly opened, revealing a Taoist sitting on his back.
"Yu Daxian, General Donkey returned victoriously, and none of the demons in the River Temple could escape, and they were all caught. The donkey protector general licked his face and stepped forward to ask for credit.
Only then did the Taoist turn around and look outside.
"It's done well, and it really lives up to the expectations of this great immortal. The Taoist rarely touched the donkey's head and nodded with satisfaction.
This donkey was extremely useful, holding his head high, as if to announce that he was the first protector of the Great Immortal Sect.
The Taoist stepped out of the door and stood in front of the flames, facing the disciples of the River God Temple and the temple blessings who were kneeling neatly in front of them.
Everyone lowered their heads, and the people in front of them could only see the boots of the Taoist and the shadows rippling with the firelight.
Behind them, everyone could vaguely see that under the blazing bonfire, there was a Taoist who looked a little thin, but no one dared to have the slightest other thoughts.
Seeing this person come out, dozens of strong men and the temple ministers and servants who were rampant and domineering in the past trembled more and more.
The fierce and monstrous donkey demon just now is the same as a dog's leg under this person's door, so you can imagine how terrible this person is.
With a wave of his hand, he took away a few booklets placed in front of the temple of the river temple, and simply opened them and read them, and sure enough, it was the secret method of sacrificing the river demon.
Gao Xian shook his head after reading it, his face was cold, as if he didn't care about it: "It's all some side ways, and it's difficult to become a big tool." ”
After finishing speaking, he tied his hands behind his back and quietly put the booklet in his sleeve.
"Who is behind you, who is driving the sacrifice of boys and girls to this river demon?" Gao Xian directly asked the old man of the temple of the river temple, and everyone present seemed to have the highest status and should know the most things.
Hearing the Taoist ask, the old man dared to speak, and kept kowtowing excitedly.
We are disciples of the River Altar of the Five Gods Sect, and we were sent by the top to come to this ten miles and eight towns along the river. ”
"In the past, those things were instructed by the main goddess of the altar to do, we are innocent!"
This old man cried and grabbed the ground, and if others did not know what he had done, I am afraid that at this moment there would be compassion and sympathy.
However, the Taoist directly ignored the old man's excuse and directly grasped the key.
"Jianghu Sect, the Chuhe Altar is unexpected, how many altars do you have?"
The old man shook his head again and again: "No, we rarely deal with the Jianghu sect, but in Jiangzhou, we specialize in dealing with high-ranking officials and nobles, selling goods by boat, and developing believers." ”
"In addition to the River God Altar, there are also Mountain God Altar, Poison God Altar, Gu God Altar, and the General Altar, each of which has its own functions, our River God Altar is responsible for the operation of the river, the Mountain God Altar is responsible for the merchants' goods, the Poison God Altar is responsible for intelligence, the Gu God Altar is responsible for dealing with dignitaries, and the General Altar dispatches everything. ”
"As for the details, I don't know. ”
After careful inquiry, Gao Xian also knew what he wanted to know, and he had no interest in the people in front of him.
Gao Xian raised his hand and beckoned the villagers and villagers: "These people will be handed over to you to deal with, knowing that they have lives in their hands and are in trouble, everyone in the township can come forward to testify, and they will be tried here, don't say that they are not guilty and killed." ”
"There is a murderer who kills someone to pay for his life, and a heavy punishment that helps to torture a broken leg, and a coercion who abolishes his martial arts, and a whip of thirty. ”
The villagers didn't dare to disobey, and one by one the young men stepped forward and dragged these disciples of the River God Altar who were tied up like zongzi.
Everyone stepped forward and cheered in unison.
These people cried and begged for mercy, and their voices gradually faded behind, and what awaited them was the retribution of the past.
Gao Xian looked at the giant snakes piled up into a small mountain, this thing was useless to him, and it was a waste to put it here.
The green dragon sword came out of its sleeve, and the street of swords slashed it into several pieces.
"Everyone is tired tonight, let's eat the meat of this river demon, let's share it.
"Eating it is also beneficial, it can detoxify, brighten the eyes, and strengthen the body. ”
Hearing that this snake meat still has such an effect, the villagers present were overjoyed, and immediately shouted: "Thank you for the gift of the immortals." ”
One by one, they gathered around the giant serpent, as if they had seen some rare treasure.
Several villagers in each township even quarreled over this, fighting over who would share more and who would share less.
Sleepless tonight, the entire Shiqiao Village of Linjiang Township is brightly lit, and the fragrance is floating for ten miles.
People from ten miles and eight towns set up feasts all night, singing and dancing in front of the ancestral hall in Shiqiao Village to celebrate.
Since then, this day has become an important festival in Shili Baxiang.

Gangjeong-gun.
The river passes through the city, and the place of fireworks on both sides of the river is also the most prosperous place in the Great Zhou.
Jinzhulou is the most famous spring building on both sides of the strait, but it is different from the ordinary fireworks and willow lane, almost all the courtesans and girls in Jinzhulou are full of poetry and books, and they are all good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
In the past years, these courtesans and girls have even been used as students to teach them to read and take the exams.
Therefore, the status of the courtesans and girls in this Golden Pearl Building is still very high in Jiangting, and they are not as despised as ordinary flower street women.
This golden pearl building is a seven-storey splendid flower building, and the top is a huge golden spider statue, blooming with golden light in the sun, and it is extremely graceful and luxurious at a glance, and ordinary people dare not enter it when they see this battle.
The people who went were either powerful and magnates, or scribes.
On the top floor, at this moment, a richly dressed old bustard knelt in front of a door painted with mountains and rivers.
"Sect Master, the river god was beheaded, and the goddess died, and was killed by a young Taoist who rode a donkey. ”
"The people of the River God Altar are ten miles and eight towns along the river, all the forces we have cultivated are all finished. ”
Behind the door, a figure was dancing and singing in costumes, as if he had not heard it.
The old bustard didn't dare to stop, and then said: "The old slave has already checked, and I heard that there is a sword fairy from the previous dynasty in Gongzhou who has come down the mountain, and it is rumored that the sword fairy is a young man, and he is also riding a donkey, and it should be this person who killed the river god." ”
"The palace master and deputy palace master and elders of the Silver Flower Palace, most of the masters, all died under his hands, and what is even more terrifying is that I heard that he is good at flying sword skills, but he can take people's heads thousands of miles away. ”
The figures with makeup on their faces who couldn't tell the difference between men and women finally stopped moving, and looked back at the screen.
Two delicate girls kneeling in front of the door on the left and right opened the delicate wooden door, revealing the gorgeous scene behind it.
The old bustard knelt down and stepped forward, cautiously as if there was a mountain of knives on the ground, and it took a long time to hold a portrait in front of the leader of the Five Gods Sect.
If you look up carefully, you can faintly see transparent silk threads connecting to the ceiling from the body of the sect master, and the same is true of the two beautiful girls guarding the door.
Throughout the ornate pavilion, there are silk threads hanging from the ceiling that cannot be seen by the naked eye, hiding mysteries.
This is also the reason why the bustard is so scared and cautious.
This is the latest portrait on the list of this month's Heaven Interceptor, which is marked with the name of the first immortal in the world.
On the portrait is the appearance of Gao Xian, and even the carefree temperament of non-worldly people is vividly copied.
Seeing the young man on the portrait, the leader of the Five Gods Sect suddenly couldn't help laughing.
"Hahaha...... Hahaha!"
The whole person danced in the hall one after another, and the long sleeves were like clouds skimming through the air, and it took a long time to stop.
The laughter stopped.
"Swear, you finally can't help but go down the mountain?"
"Didn't you say that there are no immortals in the world, just some ghosts and ghosts, and they will no longer set foot in the world?"
"Or have you become an immortal?"
After talking to himself for a long time, the leader of the Five Gods Sect looked at the old bustard.
"Don't worry about him, he will come to Jiangting County sooner or later, just let the Poison God Altar keep an eye on him, and tell me when he comes to Jiangting." ”
