Chapter 226: Shen Cheng
Forty miles outside Shencheng, next to a winding river, a simple small temple is quietly bathed in the morning sun. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Looking closer, it can be seen that this is a river temple, and the statue of the god enshrined in the temple is the god of Yuxi water!
At this time, in front of the temple of the Yuxi Water God, a group of people dressed up for temple blessings and sacrifices were waiting anxiously.
The people gathered in front of the temple gate, old and young, were faintly led by a slightly chubby middle-aged man with white face, who were whispering to each other, guessing the intention of the gods they served to invite them here.
"Who does my God want us to wait for here this time?"
"Why haven't you come yet?"
"This Hunhe River is a river that is directly connected to the main vein of Yuxi, our god has asked us to wait here, is someone going to rush from the main vein of Yuxi?"
......
"Okay, everyone don't quarrel, my god will naturally have his intentions when he summons us, we just follow the will of my god, don't think so much useless!"
The chubby middle-aged man saw that everyone in front of the temple was noisy, so he frowned and scolded twice, making everyone quiet.
But the crowd had just been quiet for a short while, and then there was a commotion again.
"Coming, coming......" Several sacrifices near the river suddenly shouted loudly, and the people in front of the temple rushed up and crowded to the river.
Grunt......
I saw that bubbles suddenly boiled in the calm river water, and a young man in green clothes slowly rose from the river.
"Villains Zhang Cheng and Wang Yan...... Wait to welcome the divine envoy!" Seeing the young man rising from the river like a god, the crowd gathered in front of the temple gate knelt down one after another.
"This son, Dong Rengui, has come here to solve your problems by the Yuxi Water God, who among you can call the shots?" Dong Rengui walked from the river to the riverbank, looked at the believers of the Yuxi Water God who knelt on the ground, and began to say lightly.
"The villain Zhang Cheng is the high priest of my god in Shencheng, where the villain can call the shots. Hearing Dong Rengui's question, the slightly chubby middle-aged man hurriedly walked out of the crowd and replied respectfully.
"You?" Dong Rengui looked at the white-faced and beardless Zhang Cheng, nodded slightly, and said, "Very good, this son is going to leave for Shencheng now, you can arrange it." ”
"Yes. Zhang Cheng lowered his head very low, and didn't dare to look at Dong Rengui's appearance at all, and responded loudly: "The villain has already prepared the carriage and horses, and the divine envoy can leave for Shencheng now." ”
As he spoke, he hurriedly commanded the people behind him to pull up the gorgeous carriage that had been prepared a long time ago, and respectfully invited Dong Rengui to get into the car.
"Good. Looking at the gorgeous carriage pulled by four horses prepared by Zhang Cheng, Dong Rengui nodded with satisfaction, boarded the carriage, and said, "That Zhang Cheng, right? ”
"Yes. Zhang Cheng respectfully agreed, hurriedly ran to the carriage, sat on the wheel like a servant, nodded and told Dong Rengui about the origin of this incident.
It turned out that half a year ago, the devout disciples of the Yuxi Temple, and the largest financier, the Shen family, suddenly caused a fox disaster, which made his family restless, and the temple repeatedly sent sacrifices and mages to drive away the foxes, but they were all in vain, and even the runes given by the Yuxi Water God could not drive away the fox demon that plagued the Shen family, and they were helpless about it.
And in this failure after failure, the Shen family's belief in the Yuxi Water God gradually wavered, and they actually began to privately look for other transcendent forces to help drive away the fox, and the worship of the temple also decreased, reducing the support for the temple.
Thinking that the belief of the Yuxi Water God could spread widely in this Shen City, it was originally relied on the support of the Shen family, at this time, the Shen family had doubts about the temple, and the temple lost a lot of manpower because of the Shen family's affairs, and the situation of the temple in Shen City became more difficult......
When Zhang Cheng told what happened, Dong Rengui's carriage rushed towards Shencheng under the hugs of the sacrifices.
The carriage and horse went out of the forty-mile shop, went onto the official road, walked for a long time, and after just turning a few times, they were suddenly attacked.
Whew......
Suddenly, the sky and the earth changed color, and a strong wind rose from the ground, rolling up the sand and stones, and hitting Dong Rengui and his party like flying sand and stones.
"Huh?" Just when the wind was about to form, Dong Rengui, who was sitting in the carriage listening to Zhang Cheng's introduction, looked up at the top of the mountain in the distance, and disappeared into the carriage as soon as his body moved.
"Who dares to harm people in secret?"
Dong Rengui broke through the sky and landed on the top of a big tree on the top of the mountain, and looked coldly at a person wearing a big black cloak in the clearing above the mountain.
This person's whole body was wrapped in the black cloak that could cover his divine sense, and he couldn't tell that he was tall, short, fat or thin, but he was holding a small black triangular flag in one hand and pressing a small leather bag on his waist with the other, and he was looking at Dong Rengui very vigilantly.
After Dong Rengui observed the black cloak up and down for a while, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, revealing a mocking smile, and said: "Sure enough, it is a person who hides his head and shows his tail, today you dare to sneak attack this son, then leave it for this son!"
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and eight translucent water cables snaked out towards the black cloak.
"Hmph, don't be ashamed!" The black cloak snorted coldly, and with a wave of the small black flag in his hand, a black wind appeared out of thin air, wrapping ten zhang around him, and as soon as the water rope released by Dong Rengui entered the range of this black wind, he immediately lost his senses.
"There is no disrespect!" "After the black cloak summoned the black wind, he did not stop, but threw a small black flag, quickly played a series of fingers, and turned the small black flag into a black dragon with teeth and claws and pounced viciously at Dong Rengui.
"You have the courage to sneak attack this son, and you really have some fame!" Looking at the black dragon Dong Rengui who pounced viciously, he was not surprised at all, only to see that he seemed to raise a hand slowly, stretched out a white jade-like finger, and gently pushed it into the air.
Recite......
A melodious sword roar sounded, and a sword shadow flew out from Dong Rengui's fingertips, instantly penetrating the black dragon and shooting towards the black cloak.
"Not good!" The black cloak immediately exclaimed when he saw that the black dragon conjured up by his magic weapon was instantly broken, and wanted to take other countermeasures, but he didn't know how to deal with it, but he hurriedly touched his body for a while, and found seven or eight magic weapons of all kinds.
It's just that before he could activate these magic weapons, the sword qi shot out by Dong Rengui had already flown in, and in an instant, it pierced through his eyebrows......
