That night, the Heishui River God cast a spell and gave a dream to all the villagers of Xinghua Village.

"This god is the god of the Heishui River, and he will ascend to the throne of the god of the Yangjiang River in the valley. If you have repeatedly offended before, God is merciful and can not be careful. But the White Dragon Shrine is a taboo of the gods. It needs to be demolished immediately. If anyone stops them, drive them away immediately, otherwise don't blame the gods for being angry and flooding this Xinghua Village!"

In the dreams of the villagers, they saw a dragon roaring angrily and shouting, "Tear down the temple and rebuild it, and the gods will protect you." It is only necessary to sacrifice three animals and six animals once a year for sacrifice. You can keep the waters calm and calm, and the wind and rain are smooth!"

After speaking, the dragon turned into a statue of a god, a horned and angry-eyed giant, stepping on the waves and holding a halberd. Imprinted in everyone's heart.

Early the next morning, the villagers got up to work and met, and I don't know who inadvertently mentioned it, saying that yesterday they dreamed of a dragon demon and said that they were the river gods.

As soon as this man said this, the other villagers were surprised to find out how it was so similar to their own dreams?

"This is the dream of the river god, the river god has appeared!"

"The White Dragon Temple really offended the taboo of the new river god, but we are about to be implicated again. ”

Several villagers said worriedly: "It must be those monks and monks who came to kill the demon and failed, but they did evil to this river god, and now this river god has appeared, let us rebuild the temple, this is all to blame." ”

The middle-aged man who had met with Shi Zixuan and Yan Qing yesterday was a little silent, and Zuihou couldn't help but say: "The river god is doing evil, and those masters came to subdue the demons, although they didn't succeed, but the original intention was haode, and it was also to help us." How can the fault be attributed to them? ”

Several villagers were speechless and said in a muffled voice: "Chen Qing, you are now alone, it's a big deal to leave the village and live in a different place." But we are all dragged with our families, what can we do? This river god, if he is beheaded, it will be fine, but now that so many people have died, who does not know that this river god's magical powers are vast? If we disobey the river god again, he will flood our village, how many more people will die?"

Chen Qing was bored for a while, and said: "Talking so much, what's the use, can we solve the problem? Even if we listen to the words of the river god today, drive people away, and demolish the temple, one day the river god repents, what should we do? If we want to invite someone to subdue the demon at that time, will they still come?"

Several villagers also sighed, but Zuihou still said: "Usually everyone has something to do, and they all go to the village chief to adjudicate, what to do, or go and ask the village chief." ”

The village chief of Xinghua Village is a respected old man, and everyone respects him very much on weekdays.

When I arrived at the door of the village chief's house, I knocked on the door, and it took a long time to see someone coming, and it was a little girl of eleven or twelve years old who opened the door.

"Bi girl, is the old village chief at home? ”

Bi Yatou said: "Grandpa went to the White Dragon Temple early in the morning and hasn't come back yet." ”

When the villagers heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other.

Chen Qing said: "The village chief should have had the same dream, and went to the White Dragon Temple first, definitely to find out the news. Don't gather around here, just do whatever you have to do, and when the village chief comes back, he will naturally gather everyone. ”

When the villagers heard this, they all nodded, temporarily pressed their hearts, and dispersed to work.

By the White Dragon River, in front of the shrine.

A kind old man stood in front of the temple, looked at the tomb and stone tablet on the side, and sighed faintly.

Walking to the temple gate, the old man called out loudly: "Is there anyone inside?"

Shi Zixuan and Yan Qing were recuperating at this time, and when they heard the voice, they got up and walked out.

"Hello, old man. Are you here to find us?" Shi Zixuan stepped forward to salute, and Yan Qing on the side also arched his hand.

The old man said, "Good two. I am the village chief of this Xinghua Village. Dare to ask if the two masters are here to subdue demons?"

Yan Qing smiled and said, "It's not a demon, why are you here?" A certain family beheaded a fish demon yesterday, and it happened to be cooked and eaten in the morning. Old man, come in, eat a bowl of fish and drink a bowl of fish soup together. ”

When the old man heard this, his expression changed, and he didn't say anything, but nodded.

After entering the shrine, the old man raised his eyes and looked, sure enough. I saw that inside the shrine, there was a big black carp, which was huge and abnormal, obviously not an ordinary carp.

The old man's face turned slightly pale, but Yan Qing didn't pay attention, went out to find rotten wood, and dug a hole. He took water, made a fire, cut open the belly of the fish, and cleaned it. Cook in the pot, and after a while, a smell of fish overflows.

Yan Qing put a bowl in a wooden bowl, handed it to the old man, and said with a smile: "Such a big carp, it's hard to find, the old man can try the craftsmanship of a certain family." ”

The old man took it with a slight tremble, looking at the fish inside, but he didn't know what to think in his heart.

Yan Qing knew that Shizi Xuan didn't eat this, and he didn't give it to him, so he threw off his arms and ate and drank.

Shi Zixuan paid attention to the old man, his expression seemed to be happy and sad, and he couldn't help but be curious: "Old man, do you have something on your mind?" ”

The old village chief put down the wooden bowl and said, "This Taoist chief, may I ask, you weishenme came here to eliminate demons?"

Shi Zixuan was slightly stunned, and then said: "Passing by here, I heard that the water god of the Guyang River has fallen, and the water demon has no one to suppress it, and it is a disaster everywhere. There are two purposes for this time. One is for selfishness and is not easy to speak clearly, and the other is for the public, and also wants to eliminate harm for the people and protect the peace of the other. But in general, there is more selfishness and less publicity. ”

Shi Zixuan speaks according to his heart, and he does not say lies and beautiful words.

If it weren't for Yan Qing and learning that Han Hou Zhang Bang begged the master to get rid of the demon, Shi Zixuan might not have come, but would have gone all the way to the Lingyang Mansion, and first went to see the two immortals of Hehe.

The old man sighed and said, "The Taoist chief is a real man, and he didn't say anything to a bad old man like me. ”

looked at Shi Zixuan and said seriously: "Dao Chief, do you know that last night, the Heishui River God came in a dream, and let us overthrow this temple today and reshape the statue of the god for him." promised to shelter us, or else flood our village. ”

When Yan Qing heard this, his eyes widened, and he sneered: "This guy is really shameless, he doesn't dare to come up and fight us, but he does something sneaky." A certain family was really panicked for him. ”

Shi Zixuan's expression changed slightly, and he secretly screamed that it was not good, and said to the old man: "Old man." Since the river god is dreaming, what do you want to do?"

The old man said: "Once, when the water god of Guyangjiang was there, he asked us to offer blood and food to him, three livestock and six animals, and we agreed. Later, he intensified his efforts to make us worship the virgins. We should not have at first, and he stirred up trouble. We were afraid, how could people fight with the gods? Now that the river god is here again, what else can we do?"

Shi Zixuan sighed: "Seeking perfection is connivance." If you are united in your heart and feel heaven and earth with sincerity, you may not be able to knock this god down from the altar. ”

The old man sighed faintly: "What the Taoist said is good, but as long as you are human, you have a heart of fear. Who would dare to give it a go?"

The old man got up and said, "Dao Chief." I just want to ask for the right words, can we surrender this river god? ”

Shi Zixuan said: "The future is unknown. I can't make a promise, I can only promise you, and I will do my best. ”

Yan Qing said: "You old man, you are a good mother-in-law." We're here to help, and we don't want you to be grateful to Dade, so why are you blaming us?"

Shi Zixuan patted Yan Qing on the shoulder, shook his head, and motioned for him to stop talking.

He said to the old man: "Old man, since you are the village chief, everyone must respect you very much on weekdays, and please go back and tell the villagers that I will meet in front of this shrine after making an appointment with the river god for five days, whether it is success or failure, and I will know at that time, please rest assured." ”

The old man sighed softly, arched his hand, and without saying anything, got up and took his leave.

Yan Qing saw the old man walking away, and couldn't help but scold: "Turtle son, what kind of world is this." Is it still wrong to help people?"

Shi Zixuan said: "But I don't blame them. People's hearts change, but the world is just a situation. This is also the first test for me to enter the red world. Everything came together. ”

Yan Qing said, "Fellow Daoist, what should we do then?"

"You can't hide, you can't avoid it, just don't think about it, let's wait and see what happens. Shi Zixuan didn't say much, closed his eyes, and went to observe the scriptures and practice the Fa.

This day passed in the blink of an eye, and in the water mansion, the black water river god summoned the river patrol Yaksha and asked, "How is it on the shore? Are those two still there?"

Yaksha said, "Lord River, the people are still there, and the temple has not been demolished, it seems that those villagers did not take the words of the River God seriously." ”

The Heishui River God sneered and said, "I didn't expect these Diao people to really dare to take the words of this god as a deaf ear and not listen to persuasion. In that case, don't blame God for being unjust. Someone!"

The river god was furious, and the waves were terrible, and the entire water house shook.

A group of water demons rushed in and bowed one after another: "I've seen the river god grandpa." ”

The Heishui River God said: "The villagers of Xinghua Village are under the rule of this god, but they do not know how to worship God, and if they repeatedly offend, they will be punished by God!

The water demons were ordered, received the magic weapon, and went out of the water mansion to practice.

That night, the villagers of Xinghua Village dreamed of this black water river god again.

I saw that this river god was very angry, and said that he would rain heavily and flood Xinghua Village, so as to be the sin of disrespecting the river god by everyone.

Early the next morning, the villagers got up, and sure enough, they saw dark clouds rolling in the sky, just shrouding Xinghua Village.

And when he saw this dark cloud, there was no thunder or lightning, and when there was a bang, it was like a downpour, and raindrops the size of beans fell and poured down.

The rain fell, but it fell along with some dead fish and stinky shrimp, and fell to the ground, with blood and flesh blurred, and corpses everywhere.

"The river god was angry. It's really the river god who is angry!"

The villagers had never seen such a terrible scene, and they were so frightened that they didn't even dare to leave the house.

The torrential rain did not stop from the morning until the afternoon, and the water was so large that it almost sank into the homes of the villagers.

"We can't wait! If we continue like this, let alone five days, I'm afraid that one more day, our house will be washed away by water. ”

"I still listened to the words of the river god, demolished the shrine, and drove away the two cultivators. Even if you suffer some sins in the future, it is better than being homeless. ”

The villagers talked a lot, and most of them agreed to drive people away and demolish the shrine.

The old village chief persuaded everyone to wait a few more days and get through this while.

Someone said, "The village chief." Everybody believes in you. But who knows if those two people will be able to do it? If we survive for five days and they give up their lives, what will we do? Who will bear the wrath of the river god?"

The old village chief opened his mouth, but after all, he was speechless, only a long sigh.
