Chapter 129: The Dragon King Takes a Wife
Minjiang River is one of the four rivers that pass through the sky, thousands of acres of glaze, sparkling and rippling, starting from the southern foot of Minshan, flowing through Songpan, Wenchuan and other counties to Dujiangyan out of the gorge, dividing the inner and outer two rivers to the estuary compound, collecting the Dadu River and the Qingyi River through Leshan, flowing into the Yangtze River from Yibin, traversing Sichuan Province, making the water and drought from the people, the land is fertile, and the whole land of abundance is fed.
The river ferryman is also a group, Lao Li Tou is one of them, although he is eighty years old, but his hands and feet are steady, he is quick to do things, he is quite famous in this area, today he picked up a guest, but he feels quite strange, like a scholar is not a scholar, like a rich young master is not a young master, looks like he is in his twenties, but his temples are half white, a gourd hangs around his waist, and he is holding a willow cane-
"Uncle, do you want to cross the river?"
"Since you have crossed the ground, can this job be a penny?"
"Okay, okay. ”
Put the rope, the pole, the old foot force, the bamboo row slid smoothly into the water, this work has been done for decades, it is proper, turned his head and quietly looked at the boat man, yo he, he is still a handsome boy, seeing that his face does not look like a thief cutting the path, he accosted -
"Where is the son, he doesn't look like our waterlogged man, he must be the son of an official eunuch, Lao Li Tou guessed right?"
"In the next week, a native of the Northland, he is not a talented scholar, this time he is going to Chengdu Mansion to visit a friend. ”
"Chengdu Mansion is good, there are eight streets and nine mo, all of them are wearing brocade clothes, and there is a lot of silver!" Lao Li Tou sighed, but saw that Zhou Qian only cared about enjoying the scenery on the river, the clouds and smoke were everywhere, and the twilight was blank, obviously he was not interested in talking, so he stopped, but although the nearby scenery was beautiful, he had already seen it countless times, and he had no feeling, and he was a person who couldn't stop talking, so he started to talk again.
"It's good to go to the east, but don't go up, Dujiangyan is not peaceful!"
It really caught Zhou Gan's attention, and he inquired: "Why is it not peaceful?"
"About last month, there was a sudden flood under Yulei Mountain, flooding several Zhuangzi, and a dragon king came out of the water, leading the shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and named a few young and beautiful sisters-in-law to serve, otherwise they would destroy the village and kill the blood and pestle, you said it was shocking!"
Zhou Qian was stunned for a moment, although the villagers are good at exaggerating words, but no matter what, they will not make up at will, could it be that there are really demons doing it?
"Did you give it away in Zhuangzi?"
"But it's not, no one dared to provoke the Dragon King, so he sent it over, you didn't see the appearance of those daughters' fathers and mothers stealing the sky and the earth, it's really miserable!" Lao Li Tou sighed, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.
"The water is receding?"
"The water has retreated, but I didn't think that a few days ago, the dragon king appeared again, and he wanted three children as sacrifices, and even the government didn't dare to take care of this matter......
"When will the sacrifice be handed over?"
"Next month fifteen. ”
"Isn't there still fifteen or sixteen days?" Zhou Qian estimated and asked.
"That's it. ”
"Thank you for the reminder, the kid knows. Zhou Qian nodded, closed his eyes and pondered, it is not uncommon for spirits to eat people, but there are many doubts about this kind of behavior, if you want to take people, you can take them directly, why do you need to make such a complicated thing, and you still need the villagers to make offerings?
After a long time, the boat docked, Zhou Qian took out a dime of silver, handed it to the old Li Tou, said goodbye, and hurried to Chengdu Mansion, three or four days later, finally saw the capital of the ancient Shu Kingdom, this is also the second time to come here, the last time I came, or with Zhang Fu, this kid is looking for Mapo, picked the seventeen most famous restaurants in Shu, thinking of this, smiled slightly, was really young and ignorant, nonsense, and then sighed, I don't know if the kid is still alive.
Entered the city, went straight to the heavenly dining hall, the shopkeeper Tang could be tossed by his own family enough, and finally invited Kou's mother-in-law to go out to stop the two boys, familiar with the door, turned seven or eight streets, and arrived in front of its door, about not to lunch time, only three or three two of the guests sparsely sitting, tasting wine and chatting, just entered the door, there was a small house to greet -
"Guest officer, please, do you want to stay in the hotel?"
"No, I'm looking for your shopkeeper Tang. ”
"Looking for the shopkeeper, what do you have to do?" asked the little guy suspiciously, as if thinking of something.
"Haha, it's been about four or five years, but you still have an impression of me?" Zhou Qian smiled.
"It's you!" the little guy's eyes widened and his face was frightened: "You are the one who picked the scene back then!"
"I'm not here to pick a scene this time, I'll call your shopkeeper for me, and I'll say that Zhou Qian is visiting. ”
The little guy hurriedly ran inside, almost hit the doorpost, and after a while, the shopkeeper Tang hurriedly came down from the upper floor, saw Zhou Qian was startled, brought him into a private room, and after the guest of honor was seated, he said: "After learning that Luodu City was destroyed, I thought you were ......."
Zhou Qian shook his head and sighed: "It's just a life that barely escaped, but you are a lot older." ”
As he said, Tang's shopkeeper was wrinkled and in his twilight years. "The years are not forgiving! What is Xiao Langjun doing when he comes this time?"
"I was going to Yangzhou, thinking that the graves of Master Yishan and Kou Jingxiang's mother-in-law were here, so I wanted to pay respects, as well as Mapo's predecessors, and I didn't have time to visit her old man all these years. ”
"Sister Kou, she went to the Crane Immortal. ”
Zhou Qian was taken aback: "Mapo's senior, she ......"
"What happened two years ago, the years are not forgiving!" said the shopkeeper Tang with a sad face.
Zhou Qian was also silent, and suddenly felt that his family might have less and less involvement with the world, except for Brother Hu'er, friends on the rivers and lakes, there are not many familiar people, and after a few decades, I am afraid that it will be even more insignificant, this is probably the real reason why Senior Brother let his family enter the world to practice, but it is a dust-
"Sister Kou, her tomb is in Luoyue Slope, and she is with Yishan and his wife, if you want to go, go there, and do your best. Shopkeeper Tang didn't have the heart to speak.
At noon, the number of diners gradually increased, almost full, and gradually a little too busy, Tang shopkeeper looked out of the door from time to time, Zhou Qian saw this, and said busily: "Tang shopkeeper, you go to take care of the business, I'll sit for a while and leave." ”
The shopkeeper Tang excused himself, and Zhou Gan persuaded him a few more words, but the business was really inseparable, so he had to be busy; Zhou Qian drank himself for a while, and the crowd was boiling, and he actually felt out of place, drank the last glass of wine, and got up to leave.
Out of Chengdu Mansion, into the small forest, walked ten miles to the west, you can see the murmuring of water, it is a stream, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, it is very beautiful, the small slope is full of white flowers, under it, there are three graves, and there is nothing else.
Zhou Qian sighed, lit the incense candles, inserted them in front of him one by one, and bowed solemnly three times......
Suddenly, Zhou Qian's expression changed, and he turned his head, but saw a black gas shuttling between the pines and cypresses, and his target was his own family! The willow staff in his hand was thrown upward, turning into a white light to meet it, and the two intersected, and suddenly roared like thunder, and the willow sword of the old white ape shot back, but the black gas turned in a direction, and disappeared into the stream, but it was evenly matched.
Looking at the sword, it was stained with blood, presumably in a hurry, but the enemy was injured, and he wanted to catch up, but in front of the grave of the elders, he had some scruples and had to give up.
There are two major immortal sects in Sichuan Province, Qingcheng and Emei, when did the demons and ghosts become so rampant, Zhou Gan's face was slightly gloomy.
There was another sound of footsteps, hurriedly holding a sword on guard, there were three figures out, the leader was a young monk, holding a bowl in his left hand, a cane in his right hand, his face was delicate and majestic, a Qiang woman on the left, there were three marks on his left and right cheeks, and the last person was a young Taoist priest, brushing the dust slightly.
When the three of them saw Zhou Qian, Gu was stunned, and the monk asked first, "Can you see a demon fox?"
Zhou Qian nodded: "I fought with her, and I disappeared after getting into the stream." ”
"Damn! The demon fox escaped again!" said the Qiang girl, stomping her foot.
The young Taoist priest persuaded: "Forget it, Sister Feng, that demon fox refining is innate five escapes, and you can't catch up with it." ”
"But she robbed me of the treasures in the village......" The Qiang girl stomped her feet and said angrily, probably because she was afraid of Zhou Qian, a stranger, and her words were not finished.
"Your Excellency?" the young Taoist priest asked.
Zhou Gan saw that the three of them were immortals, and they didn't look like villains, so he had nothing to hide: "Qingcheng sent Zhou Qian to see a few. ”
"Zhou Qian, are you a dog brother?!" the monk suddenly shouted.
"Who are you!?" Zhou Qian was stunned, there were not many people who knew his nickname.
"Remember that I don't, I'm abstaining from sex! Back then, I asked you to eat noodles! In the little novice in the Changzhou Temple, you lived next door to me back then-"
"You are, quit sex, quit hate!" Zhou Qian suddenly remembered that six years ago, his family opened a noodle stall in Changzhou, didn't he live in his temple, but he traveled all over the world with his master back then, and he didn't see him for six or seven years, so he lost his impression.
It turns out that the master of this little novice is a Buddhist monk Qing Cicada, who was called Yunyou, but in fact, he went to practice with the master, and now the sword fairy has entered the world, and he himself has been sent out.
“...... Let me introduce to you, this girl is Feng Feifei, the owner of the Zhejia Village, and the little Taoist priest next to her is a disciple of a different faction of the master Tieguan Taoist, called Hu Ke, my childhood playmate has now entered the Qingcheng faction, and he is a teacher of wine Taoist. ”
Several people greeted each other, all of them were not very old, and Zhou Qian did not put on a famous show, so they soon chatted.
"Why did you chase that fox spirit just now, and what is its origin?" Zhou Qian wondered.
"Hmph! The fox spirit took advantage of my absence, stole the treasure Tianling Pearl in my village, and the three of us chased her for more than half a year, but unfortunately the demon fox was cunning, and let it escape, this run, and I don't know when I can meet it. Feng Feifei said indignantly.
'I see,' Zhou Qian thought to himself, and then asked, "Quit sex, what are your plans next?"
"I can't live in peace for half a year, so let's rest for a few days. "Quit lust and laziness, and no longer the image of a monk.
Zhou Qian hesitated for a moment, and said: "I have one thing, which may not be possible with my strength, and I want to ask a few people for help." So he told the three of them about the dragon king's wife.
"Huh, could it be that there is a problem with the Sanyang Demon Formation in Jiangyan, Chengdu? This is strange!"
"What's so strange?" asked the little Taoist priest Hu Ke.
"This Sanyang Demon Formation is the great array of heaven and earth arranged by Li Bing's predecessors who gathered in Shuzhong to build a dam with water and dams, and gathered the water power of the Minjiang River, with the sixteen treasures of his own family to subdue demons and demons as the eyes of the array, and it stands to reason that there should be no mistakes. Jiese glanced at Zhou Qian, and said: "Moreover, that Li Bing's predecessor was the Qingcheng master back then. ”
