Chapter 4: The River God Water Dragon

In recent years, a new river temple has been built in the south of Liuyuan City, built along the river, a large altar is set up in front of the temple, and the statue of the river god who is a person on the fish is neutral. In the summer solstice of that year, the first ten thousand fish drifted in the Wei River, and the people who believed in evil spread that "this is the troubled times of the river god", and the watermelon was rumored to be fiercer than the tiger, and then the day of the summer solstice was set as the day of the river god, and the river god was sacrificed. But who knows that the river god of the Weijiang River is moody, and there is no fixed day when the vision of ten thousand fish drifting in the river, and the people are worried, and the day of the river god is faint in the hearts of the people, that is, the three days after the ten thousand fish drifting the river is the day of the river god. This year, the river god is angry unprecedentedly, there is no living creature in the Wei River for a hundred miles, the people are panicked, I don't know which soothsayer in the city from the mouth of the river god is angry and needs the living people to throw the river sacrifice to make it angry, a spread of ten to a hundred, and finally the people raised funds to invite a profound soothsayer to calculate a hexagram, saying that it is the need for a girl in the Year of the Rabbit or a woman in the year of the rabbit 471 or 3721 women to be sacrificed to the river god, people believe it.

The whole family who heard the news that they had a daughter was anxious, and even several families hurriedly packed up and prepared to leave, but were intercepted halfway. A total of 17 people were investigated for a few days, and none of them were willing to be sent to death, and finally decided by drawing lots, the daughter of the old Li family in the south of the city was unfortunately selected, and the old Li couple, who had only one daughter, cried and wailed, pulling and clutching the dead and refused to send their daughter out, and their daughter was also frightened by the large group of people who "came to visit" and turned pale with fright, crying so much that the pear blossoms brought rain. Fortunately, some people volunteered to replace the daughter of the old Li family as a sacrifice, and the matter suddenly made a fuss, and when people learned the identity of the substitute, they were even more surprised, who could have thought that Xiao Qing'er, who was in the prime of life and was the head of the hundred Oiran in the city, was willing to give up his glory and wealth to kill himself? Everyone sighed, and many regular customers of Fengyuelou came to the door, and the sons and buddies who wanted to kiss Fangze and love Xiao Qing'er rushed to Fengyuelou, but they were all rejected by Xiao Qing'er. And the old bustard in Fengyuelou was so angry that she smoked in seven holes, and persuaded her own god of fortune not to be confused and ridiculous, and she could go to Xiao Qing'er, who was obedient to the, to be stubborn about this matter, and she couldn't pull it back, and the old bustard fainted alive, and then Fengyuelou did not accept guests for three days.

The news of Xiao Qing'er as a sacrifice disappeared, and tens of thousands of people who were reluctant to do so were Jinmanmen.

Jin Manmen with his mother and the state people's family, Jin Yu is a gentleman who likes to travel in the mountains and rivers, but he swims in the green buildings of Liuyuan City, and his footprints are involved in various green buildings in Liuyuan City, and he often writes poems in wine, uses the sword as a pen, and even once asked someone to move to the stairs in a drunken family to engrave on the plaque of the Qinglou "Wine Xing on the ladder is like going to bed, and the house is in the middle of the night". Jin Manmen smiled in order to please the Qinglou Red Lady, what he really did was to spend a lot of money at all costs, and he would lose his family's great cause, otherwise he really couldn't stand his cynical prowess.

Her mother, Liu Yu, is a rare female businessman with a lot of wealth, and she is rich in Hezhou. His father, Jin Hanzhong, was the envoy of the festival and concurrently served as the head of the sect, and had a lot of contacts with prominent people, but he had the most relationship with Yang Hu, the general of the general's mansion and the head of the Liuyuan Tianwang, Lin Chong, who was like a brother, responsible for training soldiers, coaching martial arts, and being straightforward and loyal. Jin Manmen is the second in the family, the eldest Jin Mantang was born stupid, and the two younger sisters Jin Jirong and Jin Jimei are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, each with its own merits. Sister Jin Jirong is good at dancing, music, calligraphy and chess, but the others are not as good as her sister Jin Jimei.

Jin Manmen, who is a complete loser in the eyes of others, no matter where he goes, always brings two martial artists who begged him from Jin Hanzhong, and he changes it every six months every month, and he doesn't repeat his old face again, and no one who is familiar with him knows what he thinks.

The south head of the city is a good place to watch the river and enjoy the scenery, when the tide rises, you can see the hundred fish Tengjiang, when the autumn harvest can look at the northeast golden rice waves with the wind, the flower season looks down and can see the willow garden like the flower city looking up to the sky and can enjoy the hundred birds circling. The bustling area with the least rules is even the south of the city, and men, women and children will visit here when they have nothing to do, and there are a variety of styles of eating, drinking and playing.

Today, the south of the city is dark and noisy, because it will not be long before the river god sacrifice will begin.

There are several open spaces with excellent views in the crowd, and pavilions are built, most of which are exclusive to the rich and noble. In one of the few open spaces, in a pavilion, a boy in brocade clothes was lying on a rocking chair, with a cold face, and he usually liked to drink and enjoy the light, but he actually had no appetite for eating and drinking at the table in front of him, as if a family owed him a hundred taels of silver and did not pay it back. The two of them who stood quietly next to them were silent, they all knew that their little master was in a bad mood, and no one dared to speak, for fear of touching the mold.

But isn't it, now Jin Manmen, who is poor in donkey skills, has tried his best to try his best to block the road and rob people by unscrupulous means, come out to save the beautiful heart, and then hide it in the mansion as a cage canary to raise, how can such a peerless beauty be said to have it? Unfortunately, these methods of his have been dismantled by the people of Skynet, and even Jin Hanzhong, who has always loved his children, ignored his ghost crying wolf crying pleading, and in the end he was severely taught by Lin Chong, the head of Skynet.

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, Jin Manmen Huo Ran got up, kicked over the stone table in front of him, and spilled the wine and dishes on the city, I don't know who was sprinkled all over the head and pointed at the city head and scolded, Jin Manmen was unhappy and scolded. What's funny is that the person doesn't seem to know the identity and background of the person who is scolding him, and the spittle is flying. After yelling for a long time, Jin Manmen, who had a dry mouth, was so angry that he directly sent two martial artists from his entourage to go down and beat that person hard, which was really a man looking for teeth all over the ground.

At the beginning of the sacrifice, Jin Manmen, who never believed in Buddhism and believed in evil, was so anxious that his eyes were red, he walked left and right, tending to go crazy, and he threw it when he saw it, and threw it away, punching and kicking the pillar, but it hurt so much that he called his mother, scolded and scolded, and scolded the group of culprits where there are any ghosts, gods, rivers and gods and messy things.

But no matter how much you scold, it won't help.

The two martial artists looked at each other, the corners of their mouths twitched, and they were silent.

Finally, the tedious sacrifice came to an end, and the eight people carried the Hualien of Xiao Qing'er, who was as beautiful as a fairy, on a huge seat, and slowly walked to the riverside and put it into the river.

Hualien flows with the waves, and the beauty gradually disappears into the water.

The gritted Jin Manmen roared in a low voice, but then he was stunned.

This is true of the two martial artists, and even more so of the others.

There was an uproar around them, and they scattered and fled.

"Mother, tomorrow I will go to burn incense and worship the Buddha. ”

Jin Manmen muttered, his face full of surprise.

A huge whirlpool swirls on the surface of the river, traversing both banks, Hualien and people reappear in everyone's field of vision, and then a heavenly water column slowly rises in the center of the whirlpool, holding up Hualien, not so much a water column, but a water dragon condensed by water!

The water dragon bent over, gently put Hualien on the shore, and then roared up to the sky, spitting out water, wetting a large number of people, leaving a letter to shrink back into the whirlpool, disappearing, and the river surface is the same as ever.

Everyone woke up in shock.

The woman on Hualien stared at the water dragon from beginning to end, with a faint flush on her face, and she saw a group of people drop their jaws.

Someone opened the letterhead that the river god threw to the shore, and opened it to see: live and rest in peace, do not disturb.

After that, there was no more river god sacrifice, only a river temple in the south of the city.

After the birth of Wei Jiangheshen, it became a topic of conversation for the old and the young, and the more it spread, the more evil it became. Some people are happy and some are worried, what they are worried about is that they are jealous of Xiao Qing'er's oirans, I thought that Xiao Qing'er would become a sacrifice to the river god today, and what he said was good and life and death were uncertain, and what he said was ugly was not much different from death, Xiao Qing'er's appearance and the various Qinglou Oiran who had competed for the first place were very clear, I am afraid that the next round of Oiran will still be Xiao Qing'er's hand. Contrary to people's wishes, Baiyan was overshadowed. As soon as the tenants who were fond of Xiao Qing'er heard that Xiao Qing'er was safe and sound, Fengyue Lou rose again, there was no empty table, it was overcrowded, and people who came to Fengyue Lou even set up tables outside the door. And the joy is nothing more than Jin Manmen, after the day and then Jin Manmen in the Fengyue Building to hold a banquet, where those who come do not refuse, sit down to eat and drink.

The old bustard in Fengyuelou smiled incompatibly, and even called out the maids who did not leave the boudoir in the past to entertain. And Xiao Qing'er was not as happy as others imagined after she escaped from danger, staying alone in the boudoir without going out for half a step, and the came to the door three times to call and were turned away, but there was no angry words, and she left. Xiao Qing'er's personal maid Xiaolan couldn't be more happy, she was usually quiet and surprisingly chattered in front of her young lady.

Xiao Qing'er sat on the dressing table and looked at the bronze mirror in a daze, not moving for a long time.

A riverbank of the Weijiang River is full of towering ancient trees, lush forests, and small roads criss-cross.

The young man was covered in water, as if he was wet by heavy rain, and walked leisurely on the road, suddenly stopped and looked up.

A detached yellow dress stands proudly on the branches.
