Chapter 10: The River God's Dream

Qinghe River is a tributary of Wei River, the river surface is dozens of zhang wide, the river channel is gentle, the water flow is stable all year round, because the river water is clear as jade all year round, so it is named Qinghe. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Qinghe River leads out from more than 200 miles below Weicheng, spans hundreds of miles, flows into the East China Sea, there is a small village called Qinghe Town along the coast, there are about hundreds of families, living by farming and fishing all the year round, the people of the village have little contact with the outside world, and live a semi-closed life. But since a month ago, this peaceful life has been shattered.

The originally clear sky that day was suddenly covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and in an instant, it rained heavily, and monstrous waves rolled up on the Qinghe River. The fisherman on the river had no time to dodge, and was directly knocked into the water, leaving no bones. Heavy rain fell for three days and three nights, and the raging waters of the Qinghe River overflowed the riverbank, flooding the farmland on both banks.

A day later, the river receded, but since then, the river has not been clear, and from time to time it has rolled up stormy waves and flooded the surroundings. It's like there's some monster at work in the water. The people of Qinghe Town scraped together some silver taels, went outside and invited a Taoist priest to come back to get rid of the demons, but they recited a few spells they didn't understand, and burned a few cinnabar paper talismans before saying that the monsters had been eliminated by him. That night, the Qinghe River was so choppy that people didn't dare to sleep all night. The next day, I went outside to find a Taoist priest again, this time I looked for it more directly, and when I came to Qinghe, I said that I was weak in saying that I was shirking, and I ran away. Qinghe Town found a total of more than ten Taoist priests or monks to get rid of demons, but the result was useless, but Qinghe directly turned into a dangerous river, and the embankment broke at both ends in three days.

Five days ago, when the mayor was sleeping at night, he had a dream about a monster with a fish head that claimed to be the god of the Qingshui River. He said that he wanted Qingshui Town to contribute sacrifices to him every month, otherwise he would flood Qinghe Town, and the sacrifices he wanted were not three animals and six animals, but boys and girls. The mayor immediately woke up and summoned everyone to tell them about the river god.

Although the people in the village were reluctant to leave this place, after all, it was where their ancestors had lived for generations, but they were even more reluctant to take their children as sacrifices to some river god. They did not believe that the river gods were at fault. But in the next few days, the torrential rain did not stop, and the water of the Qing River rolled up waves again and crossed the river bank, almost flooding the entire village, and as soon as the people in the village fell asleep, they would see the river god in their dreams, urging them to sacrifice sacrifices, otherwise they would all drown, and now everyone believed that what the river god said was true, and they all panicked, and finally the mayor made up his mind that if the river god had to sacrifice the village, the village would be moved.

The next day, the whole village was packing their belongings, and everyone had sadness on their faces, leaving here was a departure from their homeland, and they didn't know how to live in the future, but if they wanted to stay on, they had to sacrifice their children, which was even more unacceptable to them. It happened that at this time, a man who was doing business outside came back, and saw that the people in the village were packing their belongings, and hurriedly came over to ask the reason. He has been outside for a long time, and he knows more things than the people in the village, and this river god is clearly a monster. He immediately stopped the behavior of the people in the village: "Don't clean it up, this river god must be a monster, I will go to the six doors to report to the official, someone will definitely come to get rid of it." ”

The other villagers shook their heads, even the mayor of the town, in their image, where would the officials care about their life or death, let alone help them get rid of demons.

That person was determined, he didn't know what the officials in other places were, but he knew that there were six doors in Jiangnan that were the head catcher Han Li, slaying demons and destroying demons, and treating evil as hatred.

Seeing that he was so confident, others couldn't help but have a glimmer of hope in their hearts, if the government didn't care about it, it wouldn't be too late. So the man took three strong men and hurried to the six gates.

Weicheng Six Doors Headquarters

Han Li was training the ten major guard commanders, and although the ten of them had just broken through the innate realm, their aura was steady and heavy, and they were not vain at all.

On the granite-paved martial arts arena, Han Li stood proudly with a three-foot simple sword in one hand, and the ten major commanders each held a waist knife to surround him, and the ten people moved in unison, and ten sword lights full of murderous aura slashed from all angles, as if the heavens and the earth were shrouding him. Han Li chuckled, his face unchanged, and a simple knife turned into dozens of sword lights, breaking through the waist knives of the Ten Commanders impartially. He only defended and did not attack, he was completely feeding the ten people, and the ten commanders also knew that this was a rare opportunity, and they all showed their tricks to let him guide. Half an hour later, they had collapsed to the ground from exhaustion, but Han Li's face still didn't change, not even the corners of his clothes were torn in the slightest.

At this time, the catcher outside the door suddenly ran in quickly, and half-knelt down and said, "My lord, there are four people outside the door who want to report to the official!"

Han Li inserted the Pu knife back into the scabbard and asked, "Why do you want to report to the official?"

"It's said that it's because of the youkai there!"

"Youkai?" Han Li frowned, turned around and walked towards the door, the half-kneeling catcher hurriedly followed.

The villagers of Qingshui Town, who were wandering anxiously at the gate of the six gates, suddenly saw a handsome man wearing a gorgeous official robe come out, hurriedly stepped forward and knelt on the ground, crying and saying, "Please also ask the adults to call the shots for the grass people!"

With a wave of Han Li's sleeves, the four of them were immediately held up by a soft aura, "Say something slowly, don't be in a hurry." ”

Seeing that he was so easy to speak, everyone was not nervous, so they told the whole thing one by one, and finally said sadly: "My lord, the river god entrusted us with a dream and asked us to sacrifice our own children and children, otherwise it will flood our Qinghe Town!"

After listening to their words, Han Li had already determined in his heart that the river god was definitely a water monster, and a trace of killing intent flashed in his heart, he didn't have the ability to take care of other places now, but Jiangnan would definitely not allow any demons to cause chaos. At that moment, he went back and talked to Xiang'er, ordered the ten major commanders and rushed towards Qinghe Town, and the big-name Wujiang horses galloped all the way, and they arrived in Qinghe Town in just two hours. The mayor and the villagers hurried over.

"Village Chief, the Lord has come to help us get rid of the demons!" several sturdy men hurriedly said to the villagers.

"Thank you, my lord, the old man must be grateful to Dade!"

"Thank you, sir!"

“......”

The residents of Qinghe Town said with joy on their faces.

Han Li asked them to pretend to promise the river god to lure it out of the Qing River first, if it didn't come out, Han Li would really have to work hard.

Sure enough, in the evening the river god gave everyone a dream, and the mayor of the town pretended to be sad and promised to contribute a pair of boys and girls to him, and the fish-headed river god was very happy, and promised that the wind and rain would be smooth within a year, and the time for the tribute was set a day later.

。。。。。 The time of the day passed in a flash, Han Li lived in the mayor's house with the Ten Commanders, and at this moment, in front of him were a pair of beautifully dressed little boys and little girls, and there was a trace of fear on their immature little faces.

The mayor of the town asked a little worriedly: "My lord, is it really okay? If something happens to them, I won't have the face to see Lao Chen Tou and Lao Zhang Tou again!" The old Chen Tou and Lao Zhang Tou in his mouth are the parents of the boys and girls.

"Don't worry, just a river monster can't turn over my palm!" Han Li didn't care, let alone a river monster, even if it was a dragon, he could kill it.

The old mayor didn't say anything more. Three o'clock in the afternoon was approaching, and according to the appointed time, the river god was about to come out.
