Chapter 608: Shipwreck

There are too many injustices in the world.

Li Xiuyuan knew that he couldn't manage the world alone, but although he knew it in his heart, if he encountered it, he couldn't sit idly by.

Perhaps this is the so-called goodness of the heart.

Sometimes goodness trumps reason, and it is natural to do things that ordinary people seem to be incomprehensible.

For many people, everything they do is driven by interests, and they will never do things that have no interests, and they will never touch things that harm their interests.

Over time, people who only have interests in their eyes feel that this is the only right principle in the world, thinking that good people who do good deeds and accumulate virtues are fools, and only fools will help others, and even harm their own interests, while they are smart people, because everything they do is for themselves and for themselves

Benefit.

But if the world wants to be stable and prosperous, what is needed most is not smart people, but groups of fools.

They may not be able to enjoy happiness in their hard lives, but future generations will get a happy life because of their efforts.

The predecessors planted trees and the descendants enjoyed the shade, but if the predecessors did not plant trees, how could the descendants enjoy the shade?

So sometimes Li Xiuyuan feels like a fool.

In fact, he can have a rich life with a group of wives and concubines, and he can become a god in heaven after death.

But he is not stupid, on the contrary, he is very smart, but he is smart and chooses a path that only a fool will take.

Three days later.

Li Xiuyuan rode to a river.

The dragon horse was painted by Zhang Seng Xuan, treading the water without sinking, he rode along the river to the north, and chased two passenger boats.

It appeared near the passenger boat, and immediately the river near the two boats was tumbling, surging, whirlpooling, and the dark tide was agitated, as if some huge monster was lurking underwater, and at this moment he was suddenly awakened by his arrival.

"Boom la la ......"

The river swelled, and a huge black rock covered with water grass and mud floated.

Li Xiuyuan raised his eyes and saw that there was a huge rock, but a giant turtle floating up from the water.

In addition to the giant turtle, there was a huge splash of water nearby, and a giant crocodile swam like a dead tree, raising its head slightly, and the crocodile's eyes were a little vigilant.

"The Eight Kings, the King of Yangzijiang, haven't seen you for a few months, how are you doing lately?" Li Xiuyuan smiled and greeted the two old acquaintances.

"Meet the saints. ”

"I've seen Li Gongzi. ”

The Eight Kings and the Yangtze River King were shocked when they saw Li Xiuyuan, and then immediately transformed into an old man and a handsome young man, and they stood on the river and respectfully saluted Li Xiuyuan.

"No need to be polite. Li Xiuyuan said: "The escort for more than two months is really hard for the two of you." ”

The Eight Kings said with a look of shame: "Although Lao Er has done his best, but he still failed the sage's entrustment, a month ago, the boat went north along the river, and encountered wind and waves on the way, Lao Er's guard was unfavorable, so that the two ships were overturned by the huge waves, and Lao Er and the Yangtze River King tried their best to only protect

There are only two of them. ”

"Really?"

Li Xiuyuan's expression moved, and he looked at the passenger ship in front of him.

True, at the time of departure there were four ships, and now only two remain.

"What kind of spirit is making waves on the river?" Li Xiuyuan asked in a deep voice.

The ship was overturned by a huge wave?

It's just ridiculous.

There are two thousand-year-old demons escorting, and he even left three thunder god orders, and there are two thousand elite armorers on the ship, led by Han Meng and Wu Xiang.

If you encounter a spirit, with the ability of the Eight Kings and the King of Yangzijiang, you will be able to repel it, and if you can't call Lei Gong to help, even the first-class evil demon of the old demon of Montenegro will not dare to attack.

If you encounter bandits, two thousand elites plus Han Meng and Wu Xiang are two fierce generals, which are enough to fight with tens of thousands of horses.

It is precisely because of such a lineup that Li Xiuyuan is willing to leave with confidence.

I didn't expect it to be like this, and something happened.

The King of the Yangtze River lowered his head slightly and said, "I don't know which big demon is making waves, the eight kings and I only saw the monstrous waves, and we didn't see the big demon haunting, but when we were guarding the boat, we noticed that there was a demonic aura in the water, it was the breath of the water demon, but we couldn't tell."

Where did it come from? ”

"In other words, there are monsters who have concealed your investigation, made waves on the river, and overturned my two ships?" Li Xiuyuan said with a cold expression.

"And ask the saint to condemn his sins. The Eight Kings said in shame.

Li Xiuyuan didn't rush to ask about the crime, but said, "How are the casualties?"

The king of the Yangtze River said: "Although the passenger ship was overturned to the ground, fortunately, there were many descendants of the Eight Kings who traveled all the way, and they rescued people in time, and there were no casualties, only some property was lost." ”

If that's the case, then the result is acceptable. Li Xiuyuan nodded and said: "The survival of the person is the key, the loss of some property is nothing, the eight kings, your vigilance saved the lives of the people on the ship, it is not that your defense is unfavorable, it is that this matter should exceed your ability."

Outside, I won't blame you. ”

Being able to do such a thing without the two thousand-year-old demons shows that the enemy is extraordinarily powerful.

When the Eight Kings heard this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and said as if they had been pardoned: "Lao Er is very ashamed. ”

"Li Gongzi, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not. Suddenly, the king of Yangtze River said solemnly.

"Say it. Li Xiu said from afar.

The king of the Yangtze River said in a low voice: "The ghosts and gods in the world know that the saint is not close to the ghosts and gods, and can avoid ten thousand laws, but he is only afraid of water, fire and sword soldiers, and the monstrous waves encountered on the waterway this time are only afraid that they are not coming to the boat, but to Li Gongzi, maybe the monster in the dark finds that Li Gongzi is not there."

The ship quickly retreated, and as for not drowning the same ship, it was because there was no need for it. ”

"What is the value of the lives of ordinary people in the eyes of such a spirit, that is, to drown all the people on the ship, and to attract nothing more than the wrath of the saints, which is a thing that outweighs the loss. ”

"Spare the lives of the two ships, just to not anger Li Gongzi, you, at that time, even if Li Gongzi you find the evil demon, you can't find the crime to kill him. ”

Li Xiuyuan groaned when he heard this: "In this way, the enemy is not only very fierce, but also cunning? With his ability to overturn two ships in front of you, then it is easy to drown the people on the two ships? The reason why he didn't do it was because there was no need for it, and he couldn't do it for two

Human life to provoke me?"

"Exactly. King Yangtze Jiang nodded.

Li Xiuyuan's expression became solemn, it seems that it was because of his absence that a catastrophe was avoided, if he was on the ship at the time, the situation would be different.

Maybe you're in danger.

"There aren't many spirits in the world who can do this, who do you think is the most suspicious?" he asked.

The king of the Yangtze River said: "The waters of the official road extend in all directions, connecting the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, together with various large lakes, many spirits are suspicious, such as the ghost foreman of the Yellow River, the river god of the Yangtze River, the dragon king in the major rivers, and the master of the West Lake who has the book of life and death." These are all big demons, big gods, them

They may all be murdered along the waterways. ”

"However, the Lord of the West Lake is the most suspicious, and the waterway is very close to the Great Lake of the Lord of the West Lake...... And it just so happened that on that day, the torrential rain poured on the big lake of the main lake of West Lake, and the water waves were monstrous. ”

Li Xiuyuan said calmly: "The most suspicious thing is not necessarily the murderer, it may be just an illusion cast by others, used to confuse our eyes, so as to kill people with a knife." ”

What Li Gongzi said is extremely true. King Yangtze Jiang said in his heart: "I almost forgot that there was a possibility of framing and killing people with a knife." ”

"But it's also possible that it's just a trick directed and acted by yourself to deal with smart people. Li Xiuyuan said again: "Who knows how many years these big people have lived, and their minds are extremely cunning, you can't find out why, how can I tell the difference in a period of time." Since this matter is not

If there are casualties, then make a note of them for the time being, and talk about them later. ”

"There is already a lot of delay now, it's time to go north to the capital, and I'll trouble you again, so speed up the trip. Li Xiu said from afar.

He felt that compared to the capital, the matter of the water demon making waves could be forgiven for a while.

"Yes. ”

The Eight Kings and the King of the Yangtze River responded.

Immediately, an undercurrent was set off, engulfing the boat, and speeding up.

And Li Xiuyuan also jumped up on the dragon horse and landed on the boat.
