Wang Ruoli dispatched Luqiu Mingda, Xu Nafu and others to form a personal guard battalion of 50 people and took them to Lishan City.

After rectifying the affairs of Magnolia City, a month later, Wang Ruoli went

On the road.

"Recently, Lizhou seems to be very unpeaceful. Lu Qiu Mingda walked behind, thinking and saying.

"Oh, what do you say?" Wang Ruoli couldn't help but ask.

"The general must have heard that Dong Yong, the former garrison general of Lishan County, was assassinated on the way back to Lishan City?" Luqiu Mingda said lightly.

"This is natural. Now Ben will take his place. Wang Ruoli said lightly, a little alert in his heart.

In fact, not only Dong Yong, according to the grapevine, in the past half a month, in addition to Dong Yong, two other generals of the nine counties of Lizhou have been assassinated and one person has been injured. Lu Qiu Mingda's eyes were a little worried, and said, "My subordinates dare to guess that this situation must be premeditated." ”

"In this case, wouldn't it be very dangerous for the general to go to Lishan City, and I am afraid that he will also be assassinated. Xu Nafu, who was behind him, heard this and said worriedly.

"Yes, that's what I'm worried about, and the general should be more vigilant. Lu Qiu Mingda said.

"This matter really needs to be thought about. It was not that the assassination was leaked, Wang Ruoli was calm and not afraid, "However, as a general, how can you be afraid of the head and tail, knowing the danger, of course, you still have to go up." ”

The group continued to walk towards Lishan City.

Lizhou, named after the Lishui River, is the largest river in Lizhou, which winds through the entire Lizhou from west to east.

Lishan County is located in the western part of Lizhou and belongs to the upper reaches of Lishui.

On this day, a group of people passed through Lishui, and saw the cloth on both sides of Lishui, the gongs and drums were noisy, and the crowd was crowded, blocking the road to pass.

Is this what kind of festival is it on?

Wang Ruoli is not familiar with the local customs of Lizhou. I can't help but be a little curious, I don't know what the people are doing.

Lu Qiu Mingda, who was next to him, explained: "This is to worship the god of water and ask for blessings and disasters." ”

The god of water, Wang Ruoli naturally did not believe it when he heard the words, and he could be called a "god", but he was a great cultivator of the triple god of Nirvana, and he had seen only the Red Maple Demon Lord in his life. As for the Nirvana overhaul, don't say that this Lizhou, even the entire Chongxing is estimated to not be able to find one or two people, let alone the Taishen overhaul. What's more, how could such a strong person come to this Lishui to be a water god.

Looking at the local people, such fanfare, there must be something wrong, look at this appearance, I am afraid that it is not only a god of faith, I am afraid that this so-called "water god" is estimated to exist, otherwise it will not attract so many people.

In the twilight of the night, Wang Ruoli and his entourage were also in the local area, and booked an inn.

That night, the worship ceremony on the edge of Lishui continued, and it was more lively than during the day.

Wang Ruoxing couldn't help but sigh that when the war was raging, the lives and lives of the people were not settled, but they were more likely to be bewitched by these so-called gods. In this situation, I can't ignore it more and more.

Wang Ruoli took Luqiu Mingda and Xu Nafu to the shore.

The torches on the shore were bright, and some people of prestige and power set up an altar on the water. It is more than ten zhang long and wide, and the scale is grand.

There were many spontaneous villagers standing on it.

After kneeling and prostrating, the altar was opened, and then, at the climax, the villagers escorted ten young men to the high platform.

I saw these young men, all handsome and handsome, with extraordinary demeanor, but at this time, they were crying and crying, and they were extremely unwilling, and they were pulled up by the fanatical villagers. Tied to ten large pillars. It was useless for these young people to resist.

Wang Ruoli was a little puzzled, and gestured to Lu Qiu Mingda.

Lu Qiu Mingda hurriedly asked an elderly villager next to him: "Uncle, what are you doing here, how did you tie people up?"

"You're from other places, right?" the old villager looked disgusted, "This is a sacrifice, as long as ten handsome young people are offered to the water god every year, the water god will bless this year's abundant crops, and there will be no war." ”

"You also believe in this kind of non-existent thing, and you sacrifice human lives. Lu Qiu Mingda was puzzled.

"Nonsense, the water god has boundless power, blesses the well-being of the people, and is the god who protects us, just ten handsome young people, what's the big deal. When the old villagers heard this, they were filled with righteous indignation, "If Your Excellency makes any more disrespectful remarks, the old man will turn against you." ”

"Yes, yes, it's a gaffe. Lu Qiu Mingda hurriedly smiled and said, "I don't know, at the worship ceremony, will the water god reveal his true body and come out to purify all sentient beings?"

"Hehe, you're right, every year at this time, the god of water will come out to give grace, at this time you can boldly put forward your wishes, and the god of water will help make it happen. The old villager longed, "Soon, when the sacrifice will be made, the water god will come out." ”

"Thank you for telling me. Lu Qiu Mingda said in thanks.

The conversation between the two, Wang Ruoli has already discovered through his divine sense, and it seems that this "water god" is not a good stubble. At the very least, the cultivation should be extraordinary, and he is also proficient in water.

It's just that Wang Ruoli never wants to see such a scourge and cancer appear in Lishan County under his own control, and it must be eradicated.

After another half of the day, the sacrificial ceremony on the high platform finally began.

The villagers on both sides of the strait were extremely excited, and it seemed that it was a great honor to see the "water god" appear.

Wang Ruoli roughly inspected the villagers on both sides of the strait, and there was a large area of black oppression, at least tens of thousands of people. This is still fanatical, as for the river bank, there are still a large number of villagers who come to visit, I am afraid that there are no less than tens of thousands.
