Originally, according to Zhang Longhu's plan, he was going directly to the river to participate in the sacrificial ceremony. said that he was so big, and he had never seen the sacrifice of the river god, and finally had such an opportunity to gain knowledge, how could he intersect with it. But Chen Yijian said that this thing has no point in looking at it at all. How big can the sacrifice of a small river god be. Instead of looking at him, it's better to go to the weasel and nag for the truth.

Zhang Longhu naturally disagreed with Chen Yijian's idea.

Perhaps this kind of sacrifice has no ornamental meaning for others. But for him Zhang Longhu personally, the significance is still great. Not to mention anything else, just about the understanding of the gods. The more he can learn about the gods, the more he will be able to benefit from them in a lot of insights that are beneficial to his own practice.

However, Chen Yijian didn't think so and stopped moving forward. Turning to look at him, with a serious expression on his handsome cheeks, he opened his mouth and asked him, "Do you want to cultivate the way of God?"

Zhang Longhu stopped, almost without thinking about it, then shook his head and vetoed: "How could I possibly go to cultivate the Divine Dao! I still remember the rules that have been passed down from generation to generation very clearly. ”

Chen Yijian still had a serious expression on his face, and asked again, "Then why do you think this is helpful for your cultivation?"

Zhang Longhu explained with a smile: "You know my situation, and I have a natural sense of these things. I just think that if you want to destroy theocracy, you must first understand theocracy. ”

A hint of sarcasm flashed in Chen Yijian's eyes, and he said with a smile: "Could it be that in the past thousands of years, our Dongsheng Divine Continent's understanding of divine power is not detailed enough?"

Zhang Longhu was a little helpless.

For Chen Yijian's sharp words, he didn't know how to answer.

Yes, what Chen Yijian said is indeed right! For those who were born in Dongsheng Divine Continent, in the long process of fighting against divine power for thousands of years, their understanding of divine power is indeed quite a lot. Compared to the world of the other four continents, there is nothing wrong with it at all. But does this really show that they are well aware of the divine power that has existed for thousands of years? If this is the case, then why has it that for thousands of years, countless cultivation geniuses have been lurking and subsequently devoting themselves to it, and the final result is still that the divine power is still high, and they mortals have to persevere in their efforts for it?

Zhang Longhu really wanted to say it, to the people of the whole Dongsheng Shenzhou, and to the entire people who resisted the divine power. Actually, you are wrong, really wrong! You think you know very well about theocracy, but how much do you know about theocracy? Do you know how many gods still exist in the gods today? Do you know how many institutions are divided into theocracy? Can you be sure that all theocracy is just as you think?

Do you know what they think of the world?

You don't know, you don't know!

But in this case, in front of his friends, can he Zhang Longhu say it?

All the same, no!

So after listening to Chen Yijian's words, he decisively chose to remain silent. He is such a person, he will always put the friendship between friends in the first place! As for those big truths, university questions, and great feelings, they can only be placed in the back row.

Seeing Zhang Longhu's silence, Chen Yijian knew it in his heart. This guy must be tough again, but in front of himself, he is unwilling to talk to himself, because of some other things, and finally everyone blushes and has a thick neck, and he is upset. There was still a little bit of topping, but it immediately dissipated at this time.

Zhang Longhu is such a character, why is he Chen Yijian not such a character?!

Otherwise, how could two people who are obviously not in the territory of the same dynasty become best friends?!

Put away the ridicule on his face that appeared to Zhang Longhu because of divine power. The corners of Chen Yijian's mouth raised a bright smile again, changed to a relatively relaxed topic, and said to him: "Master Zhang, I didn't play with you, that weasel is really interesting." If you don't go with me to get a look at that guy, you'll regret it later. ”

Zhang Longhu, who was clever, also had a bright smile on his face. But for the monster that Chen Yijian said in his mouth, he really didn't think it was interesting in his heart.

pursed his lips and said, "Isn't it just a well-developed weasel, what's so good-looking." Over the years, I have traveled all over the world, not to mention much, I have seen no less than thousands of weasels alone. ”

Chen Yijian took a step forward and walked to Zhang Longhu's side. raised a hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "If I let you go to see it, you can go and see it, how can there be so much nonsense." I've known you for so many years, when have I ever cheated you?"

Zhang Longhu pondered for a moment and said, "There really is, and it's not once or twice!"

"!"

"Do you want me to count them for you?"

"You say!"

"In the summer of two years ago, in the capital of your Sword Qi Dynasty, the Sword Love Academy, the Tianzi Room, the Yu Girl ......"

"Stop, stop, when I didn't say, when I didn't say. ”

Zhang Longhu, who had already been wrapped around Chen Yijian's shoulders and walked forward, turned his head to look at Chen Yijian beside him with a sly smile on his sallow face. He asked proudly, "Do you want me to give another example?"

Chen Yijian smiled to hide the embarrassment on his face and said, "No need, no need." ”

But at this time, in his heart, he was really happy.

It's not just the two of them who can meet in a foreign land tens of thousands of miles away. It is also because the friendship between them has never been involved in any foreign objects.

The two of them talked and laughed like this, walking leisurely all the way forward.

The scenery of the town along the line is under the eyes of the two.

Step out of the town's green brick streets and step onto the loess path by the stream. Although it is autumn, on the side of the river, you can still see a little green from time to time from a piece of dry yellow.

The big yellow dog, dressed in yellow hair and shiny yellow hair, who was still lying on the street basking in the sun before, appeared not far in front of the two of them at some point. Stepping on leisurely steps, he stopped from time to time and sniffed at the withered grass on the side. Even if it found out about the arrival of Chen Yijian and the others, it didn't react at all, and still went its own way, strolling forward with a calm attitude.

In this regard, Chen Yijian and the others couldn't help but smile at each other.

Just as he was about to say something, he saw the big yellow dog not far in front of him. A yellow light suddenly flashed out of thin air, revealing the figure of a weasel.

Chen Yijian was stunned for a moment, and then said to Zhang Longhu with a smile: "That's the guy!"

Zhang Longhu naturally also saw the weasel that appeared, after hearing Chen Yijian's words. I couldn't help but look at it carefully. But after watching it for a while, Zhang Longhu couldn't see anything special from the weasel. was about to ask Chen Yijian with a straight face, but suddenly found that Chen Yijian beside him was looking at him and motioned him to continue to look at the weasel.

Zhang Longhu, who didn't know what was going on, had some doubts on his face. But after seeing the strange smile in Chen Yijian's eyes, he still decided to temporarily suppress his words, turned his head and continued to look in the direction of the weasel.

The next moment, a bright smile also appeared on Zhang Longhu's face.

Originally, there was no clear perception of the weasel, but at this moment it was completely subverted. Not only did I have interesting thoughts about it in my heart, but I couldn't help but have a good impression of it.

Seeing that he didn't know how to persuade the big yellow dog, and let it willingly carry his weasel, Zhang Longhu almost didn't laugh. Especially when I saw the weasel riding a big yellow dog, I also learned from the human battlefield generals, riding horses and whips on the battlefield, charging into battle. He felt that this guy was indeed very 'talented'.

Perhaps because of the rise of play, the weasel did not notice Chen Yijian's arrival at this time.

Riding on the back of a half-human-tall yellow dog, with its legs clasped around its belly. One paw firmly grasped the hair on the yellow dog's erect neck, and the other paw was raised high, spreading its five paws, like a real battlefield general, making the final preparations before charging into battle.

The big yellow dog under him has long lost the laziness of Fang Cai. The weasel on his back is holding a huge dog's head high, with his chest and ears standing up. Strong limbs, stepping on the ground, muscles tense. It seems that as soon as the weasel gives the order, it will immediately rush forward like an arrow.

"Kill!"

Raised arm, slammed down!

A loud cry came from the mouth of the weasel who was waiting for him.

The big yellow dog, which was ready to attack, was just like the arrow that opened the bow and was like the moon, and with a snort, it rushed forward.

However, just a few steps away, before the weasel sitting on the back of the big yellow dog learned to scold the generals heroically. Chen Yijian's figure appeared in front of them, forcibly intercepting the two people who were running.

Looking at the weasel that had a series of screams in his mouth, he finally stopped the big yellow dog. Chen Yijian was amused, and asked it with a smile: "What's the matter, the jade-faced little yellow wolf called by the people in the rivers and lakes, is this preparing to join the army?"

Quickly rolled over and jumped off the back of the big yellow dog, and motioned for it to leave first. The weasel smiled all over his face, looked at Chen Yijian and said, "How can there be, big brother, I'm not really bored, and I just happened to see that guy, so I wanted to play tricks with it to relieve my boredom." ”

Chen Yijian nodded, but a hint of evil appeared in his eyes. said: "I thought you took a fancy to it and thought about taking it into the harem." ”

The weasel was stunned for a moment, and an angry expression immediately appeared on his face. said: "That guy is a male, and I don't like this." But if you like it, big brother, I can talk to him about it. If it doesn't agree, I'll coerce and lure it, and with its current intelligence, it's still easy to get it done. ”

Chen Yijian just smiled at this, and instead shouted at Zhang Longhu: "Master Zhang, there are monsters here that are only for the sake of harming the world. Don't you hate monsters the most in your life, why don't you hurry up and finish it off with a sword? If you run away in a while, I'm not responsible. ”

"I can't run, in front of my Zhang Longhu. Even if he is the great demon of the Upper Six Realms, don't think about leaving alive. "Before the words fell, the person had arrived.

The weasel barely glanced at Zhang Longhu, and when he first appeared, he had already knelt down to the ground. He kept kowtowing and begging for mercy: "The immortal spares his life, the immortal spares his life." The small ones have succeeded in their own cultivation, and they are lucky to be wise. He was devoted to goodness and never harmed anyone. Even if I ate in the past, it was also a cabbage and radish every day, and the meat had never been opened. Especially after following my eldest brother, the younger one always has good thoughts, respects the old and loves the young. Sometimes with my eldest brother, I saw those old men and women in the deep mountains, and my legs and feet were inconvenient, and I also stepped forward to carry them across the river and stream, and climbed down the mountain. Sometimes when they see that I am pitiful, they will give me a candy or two to eat. Daxian, you must be aware and never kill innocents by mistake!

The small ones are wild and weird at any time, but there are also elderly mothers at home, who are ignorant of their children. If you kill me by mistake, what will happen to my old mother and child? They are still waiting for me to go back to support my family and teach my children to become talents!"

Listen to the weasel chatter, endless tirades. I thought that Zhang Longhu, who had seen it ride a dog and charge, was already very interesting. At this time, I couldn't help but feel more interesting about it, and I didn't interrupt its words. With a smile on his face like this, he stood in front of it with Chen Yijian, listening to the nonsense that it didn't know where it came from.

It was only at this time that Zhang Longhu found out that Chen Yijian really didn't lie to him. This weasel is really interesting.

It's so much fun compared to the ones I've encountered before!

——

At noon, Huang Ye took the three members of the Yuan family to the Yishui River on time.

As soon as she saw the arrival of the Yuan family, the black-robed old woman who was serving as a sacrifice immediately waved her hand to the four young men behind her. Motioned for them to hurry up and bring the sacrifice this time, Yuan Xiaoshan.

The four young men nodded, and strode towards Yuan Xiaoshan without any expression on their faces. Even when they walked in front of Huang Ye, the four of them did not show any performance to him. Just look, the four of them didn't look at him, and they completely treated him as an air. went straight to the front and back of Yuan Xiaoshan, lifted her up from the ground, and turned around to walk back.

When Yuan's mother saw this situation, where could they let them take away their daughter like this. Immediately walked around in front of the four men, and reached out to stop them.

The ordinary face that had not been smeared with any rouge was full of anger at this time. The simple and bright eyes, a little cloudy, are also the endless anger. The corners of the eyes that have been devastated by the years, and the wrinkles on the cloth that are difficult to spare. White-skinned but no longer tender hands, calloused eyes. Lifted in the air, there was a slight tremble.

She opened her mouth and said, "I beg you, you want to go, you will take me with you, please spare my daughter, she is still young!"

The four men who stopped carrying Yuan Xiaoyi still did not speak.

She spoke again, "I beg you, I kneel for you!"

"Poof!" she dropped to her knees.

Yet, they did not speak.

Yuan He, who saw this scene on the side, couldn't help frowning. After thinking about it, he still stepped forward to his wife, and reached out to help her up from the ground.

But she seemed to be connected to the ground, no matter how hard Yuan He tried, he never pulled her up from the ground, which made Yuan He's face a little angry. On the way before I came, didn't I already make it very clear, why did this old lady get sick again now? You said that you look at her and miss your daughter, and you feel uncomfortable, and you can just cry, why do you still kneel down?

If a man has gold under his knees, will a woman have nothing?

Almost in a reprimanding tone, Yuan He opened his mouth and yelled at her in a deep voice: "What are you doing, hurry up for me." ”

Mother Yuan raised her head and glanced at her husband. He did not speak, but he did not get up.

The anger on his face became more and more intense. Yuan He roared again: "I asked you to get up, did you hear it?"

This time, Yuan's mother didn't look at him. With a crying tone in his tone, he said: "Do you have a little conscience, you, isn't she your daughter." Can you really watch her die, step by step?"

frowned, and involuntarily trembled a little. Faced with his wife's words, Yuan He was almost not angry. He no longer deliberately lowered his voice, and shouted at her directly: "I don't care about my daughter? Can you touch your conscience and say it again, all these years, when did I not run around outside for your mothers to make a living? Now you actually say that I have no conscience and don't care about my daughter." Do you think I'm usually too nice to talk to you?"

As soon as she heard this, the anger in Yuan's mother's heart was also completely aroused. Raise your head with tears on your cheeks. Looking at Yuan He's eyes, he was a little lost. What's more, it's sad: "Are you the only one who works around for this family? I'm at home every day, laundry, cooking, and taking care of the fields, isn't it for this family? Xiaoyi Zhengqing has been sensible since he was a child, and he never has to worry about me. But Xiao Xin's character, don't you know? She was bullied outside, and I didn't go there one time. When did I not solve the problem when she was stubborn? Did you really care about her? Do you know what kind of psychology I had at the time? Have you asked me?"

A series of questions made Yuan He a little unsure of how to answer.

On his simple face, he was a little distracted.

The long hair on the sideburns, gently blown by the river breeze, revealed the wisps of white silk inside.

It turned out that he also had Huafa.

The crowd in the distance did not have a lively mood on their faces because of the quarrel between Yuan and the couple.

Because they all know in their hearts that every family will be like them at this time!

So there's nothing to see and be buzzy.

The black-robed old woman who had already walked up to the high platform temporarily erected next to the Qishui Temple looked at the sky and hours. couldn't help frowning, turned to the four men and shouted: "Don't hurry up and bring people over, if you miss the auspicious time, the river god will blame you, who will carry it?"

The four men nodded in silence, and the two who walked in front walked around the kneeling woman without looking at her.

The woman was in a hurry, knelt on the ground, and threw herself forward. He hugged his hands forward, just in time for the feet of one of the men walking behind.

The man who was suddenly grabbed by his feet almost tripped over it. A hint of anger appeared on his face, which was as deep as ice. He turned his head to look at the woman, lifted his other foot, and stomped on the woman's hands that had held him.

Fortunately, Yuan He, who was quick to see the opportunity on the side, had already taken the lead and desperately broke the woman's hands away from the man's feet. Otherwise, it is estimated that she will suffer this merciless kick in vain.

With one foot in the air, the man did not continue to target the woman. With a cold snort, he strode over with three other men in the direction of the high platform.

The woman who broke away from Yuan He wanted to catch up and stop her again, but was unexpectedly stopped by Huang Ye reaching out. The woman looked at him with some confusion in her eyes and asked, "Lord Huang?"

Huang Ye sighed, lowered his voice and said to her, "Mrs. Yuan, don't forget the arrangement of the two Immortal Venerables. ”

The woman was visibly stunned.

Look at Huang Ye, and look at the girl who was taken away. The tears in his eyes slipped silently again.

Huang Ye reached out and patted her on the shoulder, comforting, "Mrs. Yuan, you really don't have to be so sad. That Yuan Xiaoshan, not the real Yuan Xiaoshan, the real Yuan Xiaoshan, is still in the county office, have you forgotten?"

The woman shook her head, but did not speak.

How could she not know in her heart that the real Yuan Xiaoshan was staying safely in the county government at this time? It's just that whenever she saw this illusionary Xiaoshan, thinking that she was going to replace her daughter for no reason and be sent to sacrifice, her heart was like being cut by a knife, which made her feel painful. Especially when I thought that on the way here, she would smile and nod to herself when she looked at her several times. She felt extremely uncomfortable, as if she had been cut with a knife, which made her feel painful.

The same quiet smile, the same intoxicating dimples, and the same cute tiger teeth.

Her smile and her smile are carved out of a mold. How can people distinguish clearly, and how can she, as a mother, not be saddened? !

Where love goes, how can a single fake word in the world be exposed?

The sacrificial drums sounded on the high platform.

The old woman under the black robe danced the ancient dance steps. An incomprehensible spell slowly came out of her mouth.

The people in the distance knelt down in the direction of the Yishui River.

Even many officials who were in the public gate but were born in the local area bowed their heads and knelt down at this time. With the voice of the old woman, she sang reverently in her heart.

The four men carrying Yuan Xiao's shirt began to walk towards the water's edge with strange steps. Whenever the black-robed old woman finished reciting a spell, they would chant in unison, looking up to the sky. It was as if to call on the god of the river, to remind him that the sacrifice had begun, and to let him come and enjoy it.

The turbulent river suddenly calmed down. Then, in a more turbulent manner, it rushed downstream.

In the temple on the shore, the clay statue of the god slowly opens its eyes. A pale golden glow flashed through it. On the majestic cheeks, the corners of the mouth curled slightly, as if he was laughing at some upcoming opportunity.

The fragrance on the table, the green smoke curls. At a speed visible to the naked eye, it quickly burns out.
