Chapter 69: The Qingmang Sword slashes the demon skull
The head was buried, and the two erected a wordless stone tablet, so that these righteous people who came to kill the demon would not have no place to bury after death.
The two of them entered the White Dragon Temple, and a layer of floating ash fell inside, apparently no one had been here for a while. Only the incense ash in the incense burner in front of the shrine shows the incense of the people in the past.
But the puppet on this clay sculpture is no longer there at this time, and there is a base and a lump of plaster. Now the villagers don't know if it's the white dragon or the Guyang River water god who has just been killed by the Patrol Heavenly King.
Yan Qing looked at the deserted temple and couldn't help but sigh secretly: "If it's really as the Taoist chief said, in this red world, nothing is immutable, even if it is a god, your god name can stay in the hearts of all living beings for a while, but one day it will be forgotten." The temple was destroyed, the idol collapsed, and how many gods could be without complaint or regret?"
With some feeling in his heart, he said to Shi Zixuan: "Dao Chief, listen to that villager." This white dragon temple was originally dedicated to a white dragon, but later the water god ascended the throne, why not re-establish the temple?
Shi Zixuan said: "The position of the water god of the Guyang River does not belong to the three mountains and five mountains, but the division of the world's water division. The Guyang River merges into the sea, but it also gathers thousands of rivers. Therefore, the Guyang River Water God Temple is in the water mansion in the center of the river, and it is not a temple in the red world. ”
looked at the empty temple, sighed, and said: "And this white dragon is the river god of the White Dragon River who was self-proclaimed by the villagers, and a shrine was set up for it. It may seem like an offense to the majesty of the gods, but in reality, it has not received any priesthood at all. For the Guyang River Water God, at most he is just a demon spirit with some ability, which is not an offense at all. ”
Glancing around, he said, "As for this destroyed idol, it should be the white dragon." As far as I can guess, the villagers themselves destroyed it. ”
When Yan Qing heard this, he couldn't help but exclaim: "How could it be? The one who asked to worship the blood-eating baby was the Guyang River Water God, what does it have to do with this white dragon?"
Shizi Xuan sighed faintly: "The god in the eyes of all beings is not the righteous god who lives above the void. It's an idol in the heart. It comes fast and goes faster. If you can give protection to sentient beings, they will naturally respect you and worship you. If you do not practice the priesthood and make waves and cause trouble, this shrine and temple will be like a clay puppet on the earth, and eventually turn into dust. ”
Yan Qing suddenly felt a sense of boredom in her heart, and sat on the ground in a muffled voice.
In the middle of the night, gusts of wind blew in, and the gate in front of the shrine creaked.
At this time, although it is already summer, the river surface is suddenly cold and full of moisture. This Bailong River is full of weirdness, and under the surface of the water, you can faintly see many white scales reflecting the moonlight, shining.
At this moment, a river breeze with a fishy smell blew into the shrine, and Shi Zixuan and Yan Qing opened their eyes at the same time!
"There are demons peeping!" Yan Qing stood up and walked to the door of the shrine, staring into the distance with a deep gaze.
On the dark surface of the river, the scales and armor reflecting the moonlight can be faintly seen, and the dark tide is turbulent, and I don't know how many demons are hidden.
"It's all just got some little demons, and they don't dare to go ashore yet. ”
Shi Zixuan glanced at it and said, "Sit down." It's all a trick to disturb people's hearts. ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw that the water of the Bailong River suddenly separated, and two fish heads and shrimp brains came out of it, and the lower body was a humanoid water demon, without legs, stepping on water vapor under his feet, and slowly walking.
Shi Zixuan was slightly stunned and said, "How can you wander on land if you haven't transformed yet?"
"There are no gods in this place, how can there be divine power blessings?" Shi Zixuan couldn't help but be taken aback.
The two water demons walked in front of the White Dragon Temple, and suddenly saw that the stake was empty, and they couldn't help but scream: "Where is the head? These mortals are too bold." How dare you take the head away!"
The two water demons were so angry that they screamed for a while, as if the heads of these people were taken away and buried, as if they had offended their taboos.
"What a man! What a boldness! Let the river god know, he must drive the water to flood their village!" the fish-headed water demon glared at the fish's eyes, looked around, and roared angrily.
The shrimp head water demon stroked his beard, glanced into the White Dragon Temple, and said, "Go inside and take a look, maybe those cultivators are making trouble again." ”
The fish-headed water demon sneered: "There are so many heads hanging here, they still dare to come? The river god is still too merciful. If you want me to see, why don't you take all these people into Shuifu and raise them in captivity, just like people raise chickens, ducks, pigs and dogs?"
The shrimp head water demon laughed twice and said, "The river god is compassionate. I don't want to do it too much. Besides, now that the water god of Guyang River is dead, the entire water area is in chaos. The foundation of the river god is not yet stable, and he wants to fight for the position of the water god, so he has no time to pay attention to it. Otherwise, you think it's as simple as cutting off a few heads and hanging here as a warning?"
At this time, a cold voice with infinite anger came: "Listen to you two brutes, that 'River God' eats people and kills people, stirs up trouble, but is merciful?"
The two water demons were startled, and they all lifted the water splitting thorns in their hands.
When I looked up, I saw a swordsman with a sword, coming out of the temple, his eyes like thorns, staring at the two demons.
"Another one to die, or a sword-wielder!"
The fish-headed water demon stared at the imperial sword in Yan Qing's hand, and said greedily: "What a beautiful baby." Take it and offer it to the river god, how can you get a little god of the river bay and ditch to do it. ”
The shrimp head water demon drooled, swallowed and said, "Baihuahua's human flesh." Although I am a little older and my skin is a little rougher, I can still eat it. ”
Yan Qing laughed angrily: "What a demon, I also feel that I cannibalize people with vain words!"
The shrimp-headed water demon sneered: "You humans are allowed to fish and eat shrimp, but we are not allowed to eat people? What is the reason? Don't you cultivators say that all beings are equal? Why can't you hear or see us water demons eating people?"
The fish-headed water demon also muttered: "What is the difference between a dish and that cow, sheep, pig and dog? ”
Yan Qing was choked by the two water demons singing and harmonizing, and wanted to say something more, but he felt like he was stuck in his throat and couldn't speak.
But after all, this person is a sword cultivator, and what he does is killing, chopping, and transforming, and what he seeks is happiness and revenge. I can't figure it out for a while, I just don't want to, and all the distracting thoughts are put in the back of my mind.
"Full of gossip, but also dare to show off. A certain family is not good at words, but can only respond with a sword!"
Yan Qing took out the Imperial Sword, lifted the sword and killed it.
The two water demons were not afraid, raised the water thorn in their hands, and rushed forward with their swords.
Good demons, all of them are very fierce. Under the surface of the river, the big fish eat the small fish, and the small fish eat the shrimp, but they are more naked than the red world.
Yan Qing's sword broke the enemy, but he was stopped by the two demons for a while, and he couldn't help but secretly shocked: "It's just two water demons, which can stop the sword in my hand for a while." If it's thousands of water demons, how can they resist it? And how powerful should the river gods under the river be?"
I was shocked in my heart, but my hand was even stronger.
The internal breath was running, and the Imperial Sword burst out with three inches of blue light, and slashed in the air. The fish-headed water demon was taken aback, and the water-splitting thorn in his hand was immediately cut in half like a quick knife cutting vegetables.
"What a powerful sword!"
The fish-headed water demon was about to dodge sideways, but it was not as fast as the sword in the swordsman's hand, and he went down and was stabbed in the right shoulder.
The scale armor on the body of this fish-headed water demon is a talisman treasure made from its own fish scales, which was swept by the blade of the sword, although it was not pierced, but it also left a blood hole.
screamed in pain, and the fish's eyes couldn't help but reveal a trace of fear.
"Baby, don't fight him!"
The shrimp-headed water demon screamed, pulled his legs and ran.
The fish-headed water demon was a step slower, and when he saw this swordsman, a small cyan sword suddenly drilled out of his eyebrows, attached to the sword in his hand, and waved his hand, and the white light shimmered, giving this demon the illusion that the sky was full of cold edges.
This water demon, the frightened soul, wrapped a mouthful of water from his abdomen, spit it out, made a water arrow, and hit Yan Qing directly.
"Slash!"
Yan Qing didn't look at it, he shouted angrily, and the blue light on the blade of the sword also turned from virtual to real, and a spiritual light flew out, first crushing the water arrow, and then circling around the head of the fish-headed water demon.
I saw this fish-headed water demon, there was an extra gap in front of the neck, and a big fish head fell to the ground in a daze, rolling far away.
As soon as this demon died, it immediately showed its original form, but it was a large black-scaled carp, weighing twenty or thirty pounds.
The shrimp-headed water demon was very cunning, and when he saw Yan Qing's swordsmanship, he knew that something was wrong, and immediately smeared oil on the soles of his feet.
Yan Qing's killing intent rose, and when he killed the fish-headed water demon and turned around to look for the shrimp-headed water demon again. The demon had reached the river, jumped down, and disappeared into the surging waves.
"Good demon, escape quickly. ”
Yan Qing's eyes narrowed, he put his sword back into the sheath, and stared at the river for a long time, then he carried the fish corpse and turned back to the shrine.
But it was said that the shrimp head water demon entered the river and went all the way downstream. Then I saw that in the depths of the river, there was a water house, which was located in it.
In front of the gate of Shuifu, a yaksha patrolling the river stopped the shrimp head water demon and said, "Master shrimp, didn't you go to the river bank? Why did you come back so soon?"
"There's a murderer on the shore, and his swordsmanship is very good. I killed when I met, and the old black guy resisted in order to save me, but he was beheaded and lost his life. ”
The shrimp-headed water demon whined twice, and then said: "This is a master who has come, and a big disaster! I am going to see the river god, and the tired brother will go in and pass it on to me." ”
When the Yaksha heard this, he hurriedly said, "If it's a disaster, what else is there to spread it? Come with me and meet the river god." ”
The shrimp-headed water demon nodded again and again, and followed the yaksha into the water mansion.
In it, I saw many river mussels transformed into banshees, in this water mansion, singing songs, dancing, warblers and swallows, a good river god mansion, but it became a place of fireworks and red powder.
And behold, there was a man lying on the throne of God. The dragon's head and human body are actually a dragon (the same as the camel). Squinting at the dragon's eyes, listening to the music, and enjoying the dance, it is comfortable.
At this time, the Yaksha and the shrimp-headed water demon walked in, bowed their heads all the way, and when they arrived in front of them, they heard the Yaksha kneeling down and saying, "Lord River God, something is wrong!"
The dragon, who proclaimed himself the "Black Water River God", frowned, waved his hand to stop singing and dancing, asked these mussel girls to retreat, and said casually: "What kind of disaster? Could it be that the old loach from Jingling Bay is calling?"
The shrimp-headed water demon hurriedly said: "Lord River God, it is a ruthless man who has come to the shore, and he is a sword-wielder. Just in front of the White Dragon Temple, I bumped into me and the old black fish, and without saying a word, I killed the old black fish with my sword, but in three or two rounds, I cut off the head of the old black fish. ”
"Oh, it's a monk in the human world again?" the black water river god frowned and said, "That old black fish, although he is a mongrel, has a little black dragon blood, and has a bit of magical powers. This person is only afraid that he is a sword immortal, and it is not easy to deal with. ”
He snorted and said, "These monks are really full and have nothing to do, killing a batch, and coming again, it's really annoying." This god is now refining a treasure, if it is refined, it will be easy to ascend to the position of the water god. At this time, I can't leave the water mansion, what should I do?"
Captain Ba on the side suddenly stepped forward and said, "Lord River, these human monks have always boasted of their morality and wanted to save face. Why don't we take a step back, talk to them well, make a step, and fool them back first. If they are not interested and refuse to go, then they will do their own thing. ”
When the Heishui River God heard this, his eyes lit up, and he said: "Okay! ”
After hesitating for a moment, he said, "It's just that this messenger wants to choose someone who can speak well, I don't know which of you would like to go?"
The water demons in the water mansion looked at each other, but they heard this captain Yu say: "It is said that being old and not dying is a thief, and the older you are, the more shrewd you are." If we talk about longevity, who has the longevity of the turtle elder? If the river god asks him to go, he will definitely be able to perform miraculous feats!"
The Heishui River God was overjoyed when he heard this: "This is a great good. Not if it's the old turtle. ”
After deciding on the candidate, the river god sent someone to take the divine decree, went to the turtle old man, and went ashore to say that he would negotiate.
