Chapter Twenty-Three: The River God?
Huanniang found that the man in front of her was not indifferent, once she started talking, she was naturally not so scared in her heart, and continued to ask: "Seeing that you haven't woken up for half a month, and your body is fine, even if you are not a god, you will definitely use spells, right?"
Li Chengfeng couldn't help but smile bitterly, this body is okay now, starvation will not starve to death, no matter how good the Earth Realm Demon King is, it is impossible to be defeated by hunger, but the serious injury in this body is not easy to recover now.
However, Li Chengfeng didn't plan to tell her this, he was a monster, and the other party was a human being, no matter whether he was close to humans in his heart or not, he should not be involved with her too much.
Seeing that Li Chengfeng no longer spoke, Huanniang didn't ask any more, but secretly brought a bowl of fish soup over in the evening.
Li Chengfeng's demonic qi was exhausted earlier, although he recovered after eating Jindan, but after that, he fought with the pseudo-heavenly Hongyangzi, and at the moment of falling off the cliff, he was hit head-on by Hongyangzi and injured his lungs, and this is the time to recuperate from his injuries.
When his injuries healed, he had to leave here and have a good walk in this vast and atmospheric world of gods and demons.
The next day, Huanniang came again, still followed by a group of curious children.
They always asked strange questions, and seemed to have decided that Li Chengfeng knew how to do magic, and through conversation, Li Chengfeng understood that the river here was called Tianlu River, and this village was called Jiangjia Village, and most of the people in the village were surnamed Jiang.
For several days, Li Chengfeng was silently recovering from his injuries, although his injuries were serious, but they were not fatal, otherwise, it would be impossible to survive under the washing of the river.
The children don't seem to be afraid of Li Chengfeng, and they all ask questions one by one, asking some legendary stories, but Li Chengfeng himself now knows little about the world, although he understands the plot of Journey to the West, but now that the monkey has not been born, where can he know more things?
As the sun sets, the canopy falls, the children go home one after another, and the river temple returns to its ruins and calm.
Li Chengfeng breathed a long sigh of relief and slowly walked out of the River Temple, most of his injuries had recovered, and it was time to leave.
The moon in the sky was bright, cloudless, and the river was sparkling, but just as Li Chengfeng walked out of the river temple, a fog suddenly rose above the river.
The dense fog almost instantly covered the entire surface of the river, and under the shroud of the moonlight, it looked very strange.
Li Chengfeng looked intently, a huge carp loomed in the thick fog, the huge fish head closed one by one, and the moon was uncertain, and in the mist, a red demon pill pulled the essence of the moon.
Li Chengfeng shook his head, he didn't expect that there was a carp in this small river that had become a refinement, looking at it like this, this carp had even reached the cultivation of the earth realm.
Just when Li Chengfeng saw this carp, the carp obviously also discovered him, instantly took back the demon pill, and shouted angrily: "What kind of demon, dare to peep into the way of immortality of this god!"
The voice fell, and a huge wave rose out of thin air.
To be honest, Li Chengfeng didn't take this carp essence in his eyes, because generally speaking, when the demon clan cultivated to the earth realm, it could already turn into a human form, but this carp spirit was obviously still the body of the demon clan, and even the casting of spells relied on the demon body, and when this guy cultivated, he also relied on instinct to absorb the power of the moon essence, and there was no systematic cultivation method.
"You are also the way of immortality?" Li Chengfeng couldn't help laughing: "It's just a superficial devouring heaven and earth aura, and you dare to claim immortality!"
Li Chengfeng didn't have any other thoughts, and he didn't mean to make fun of it, but as soon as he said this, the carp spirit was obviously angry: "This god can swallow clouds and spit out fog, make waves, and the Tianlu River is all within the palm of this god, how can you, a demon, understand." β
Although Li Chengfeng is in human form, but the faint demonic aura exuded from his body, he naturally can't hide it from his kind, this carp spirit has never seen anything in the world, and he doesn't think that on his territory, there can be other monsters who can fight him.
"Swallowing clouds and spitting fog?" Li Chengfeng naturally sneered when he heard that the other party was not polite: "What you swallow is just the water vapor on the surface of the river, and what you vomit is just demonic energy, and you dare to say that it is swallowing clouds and spitting fog, and making waves is just the instinct of the creatures of the water tribe, so what is there to be proud of." β
"I'm angry with this god, you demon An dare to look down on this god, this god can start to attract wind and waves, anger can flood the border of the river bank for a hundred miles, a radius of a hundred miles, sacrifice to this god every year, you demon An dare to look down on me!"
Li Chengfeng frowned, and said in a cold voice: "You have the opportunity to go to heaven and don't know how to concentrate on cultivation, but you make waves, and you dare to call yourself a god, aren't you afraid of being punished by heaven!"
Li Chengfeng is not afraid that the other party is a real god, if it is really a god with a heavenly edict, he will definitely not be so arrogant and naΓ―ve.
The carp spirit didn't care: "This god has even killed the river god, and what kind of damnation are you afraid of!" If it weren't for the fact that the god thought that your little demon was dead, where would he allow you to go ashore, and now that he sees the true face of the god, he won't leave quickly, otherwise, see that the god has drowned your little river temple and left you with nowhere to stay!"
Li Chengfeng frowned, but he didn't say anything more, he didn't want to make more strong enemies in this place, and he couldn't do anything with this carp spirit, besides, he was a tiger, but the king of the mountains and forests, if he was in the water, he couldn't play fifty percent of his skills, and he couldn't fight to the death with this carp spirit.
As the sky gradually brightened, Huanniang and a group of children came to the River Temple again, wanting Li Chengfeng to perform a spell to show them.
Li Chengfeng suddenly spoke: "Have you ever seen a monster?"
As soon as he spoke, the chattering children suddenly fell silent.
Seeing that the children didn't speak, Li Chengfeng shook his head, and continued: "Do you know that there is a carp spirit in the river?"
The other children didn't speak, but Huanniang suddenly nodded: "I know." β
A child pulled the sleeve of the zipper and whispered to Li Chengfeng: "My father said that it is not a monster, it is a river god." β
Li Chengfeng frowned, he naturally understood that within a hundred miles on both sides of the riverbank, he was afraid that he had already regarded the carp essence as the river god sealed by the heavenly court.
But this is also normal, no one stipulates that monsters can't be gods, and when I think about it, Li Chengfeng suddenly felt funny, he preconceived that it was a monster, but he didn't think that maybe it was really a river god?
Thinking about this, Li Chengfeng suddenly felt that he was troubled, a river god, cultivating in the river, isn't this a normal thing, why should he mention this to these ordinary people.
Who knows, Huanniang shook her head, and suddenly looked up at Li Chengfeng: "It's not a river god, it's a carp spirit! If it's really a river god, it won't ask a boy or girl to sacrifice him every year." β
Li Chengfeng was stunned and looked at Huanniang, although Huanniang was talking to herself, her eyes looked at the already dilapidated statue of the river god, and there was deep resentment hidden in her eyes.
