Chapter Seventy-Two: The Human Tribulation is coming, Xuanzi is the demon in the river first

On the thirteenth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar, there is a strong wind.

On the official road, two healthy horses galloped past and stopped at the tea shed at the intersection.

The two men on horseback turned over and dismounted. Suddenly stopped, a thin steed actually bent its legs, sat on the ground and suddenly gasped.

Zhang Su and Sun Huai entered the tea shed and said to the boss: "First come two pots of tea, and then ten steamed buns and five catties of beef." Hurry up, we'll be on our way in a moment. ”

The owner of the tea shed answered, seeing that although these two people were wearing civilian clothes, they couldn't disguise the murderous aura on their bodies. After serving two pots of herbal tea, I immediately went down to prepare for food.

Sun Huai picked up the teapot, didn't use the cup, poured it hard, and exhaled heavily.

"What the hell! After chasing for so long, he hasn't found any trace of this person, could it be that he didn't take this road?"

Zhang Su and Sun Huai calculated Shi Zixuan's foot strength and tracked it all the way, but they didn't know the magic of the immortal family, so naturally they couldn't be measured by ordinary people.

Zhang Su had a gloomy face and said, "There is only one way to Lingyang Mansion. It is impossible for this person to go from any other place. Unless he has something to do and goes somewhere else. ”

Sun Huai frowned and said, "This is difficult." ”

For a moment, the two sat speechless.

At this time, the owner of the tea shed brought the food and said, "Two officials, please use it slowly." ”

Zhang Su's hand holding the teacup suddenly paused and said, "Boss, how do you know that the two of us are from the government?"

The owner of the tea shed said with a smile: "I have opened a shop here for so many years, who has never seen anyone from all over the world? ”

Zhang Su's heart moved, and asked, "Boss, let me ask you something." Have you ever seen a Taoist priest passing by here in the past few days?"

The owner of the tea shed said, "Yes, why not? ”

Zhang Su said, "Oh?

The owner of the tea shed said: "Recently, there have been floods near the Guyang River, and in Xinghua Village, not far away, I heard that there is a water demon making trouble, and the Quartet is not at peace. Those Taoists, monks, rushed to subdue demons every day. It's just that I heard that the monster is very powerful, and it can't be subdued, but a lot of people have died. The last two days have been rare. ”

"Is there a water demon making trouble?" Zhang Su and Sun Huai glanced at each other and said incredulously: "Boss, you're not talking nonsense, right?" Lingyang Mansion has always been peaceful, when did there be a demon and evil disorder?"

The owner of the tea shed hurriedly said: "Official, I'm not talking nonsense. It is said that Han Hou also made a list, if anyone can get rid of the water demon in the White Dragon River, he will be crowned as the new water god. I heard it from a swordsman and a Taoist, and I can't be wrong. ”

Zhang Su's heart moved, and he asked, "Daoist, what kind of Taoist?"

The owner of the tea shed described Shi Zixuan's appearance.

When Zhang Su and Sun Huai heard this, they were immediately overjoyed, and couldn't help but secretly say: "It really didn't take any effort to get here, this person originally went here." ”

After carefully asking the address of Xinghua Village, the two quickly ate a few mouthfuls of food, and then rode their horses in the direction of Xinghua Village.

Clouds were rolling and torrential rain was pouring down.

Outside the White Dragon Temple, it was foggy and difficult to see.

Yan Qing looked up at the sky and couldn't help but say, "Fellow Daoist, this rain is so weird. ”

Shi Zixuan said: "It's been raining for a long time and it's not small, this rain is really strange, wait for me to take a look." ”

Shi Zixuan ran his mana in his eyes and looked into the air.

Scold!

Good guys, I saw hundreds of water demons, hiding in the dark clouds, shaking a black and strange flag.

As soon as the black banner shook left and right, I saw that the water in the Bailong River was pulled by a nameless force, swept into the sky, gathered in the clouds, and fell with the sound.

Shi Zixuan retracted his gaze and said: "What a water demon, he actually made a treasure to resist water, and the river water was made into clouds and rain, no wonder it rained continuously." ”

Yan Qing was surprised: "This heavy rain was caused by those water demons?"

Shi Zixuan nodded and said, "There is a treasure in the hands of those water demons, which should be a magic weapon for measuring rain." Generally, the righteous spirits under the water department must measure the rainfall before the clouds and rain, and then rain an equal amount of rain according to the laws of heaven and earth. ”

After pondering for a moment, he said: "It's just that this magic weapon has always been in the hands of the Water Righteous God. It seems that although the Guyang River Water God has been cut down, the magic weapon has not been destroyed, and it has fallen into the hands of this Black Water River God, which is really incredible. ”

"As soon as the water god died, some magic weapons remained, what's so strange?" Yan Qing couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Fellow Daoist, you don't know anything. This magic weapon for measuring rainwater is related to the question of how much rain falls. Not even a penny is missing. If there is a deviation, it will cause many variables, and it is not known how many karmic consequences will be generated. ”

Shi Zixuan said with a somewhat ugly expression.

Yan Qing scratched his head and said, "This river god is really a gutsless bastard. I don't dare to show my face and come out, so who will I show if I get some river water to come down?"

Shi Zixuan sighed: "Of course it's not for us to see. But it's even trickier than coming to us in person. ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw a lot of people outside.

Shi Zixuan walked out of the door, and the villagers outside were all braving the rain, holding wooden shovels and pickaxe hammers in their hands, and gathered in front of the shrine.

Shi Zixuan glanced at it, and he probably knew it in his heart, sighed secretly, stepped forward and arched his hand, and said, "It's polite." ”

said to the old village chief: "Old man, I already said it yesterday, why did you go and come back?"

The old village chief said apologetically: "Dao Chief, we regretted it. But he had to regret it. Yesterday, the river god gave us a dream, if we don't demolish the temple and drive you away, it will rain heavily for three days. On the first day, the water had reached the house, and if it had rained down for three days, our village would be completely destroyed. ”

Yan Qing laughed angrily: "Then what do you want? Just listen to that water demon and let him be unscrupulous?"

A village woman suddenly said, "We don't care if he's a demon or a god, as long as we can live peacefully." The river god said that as long as we worship three animals and six animals, everyone can squeeze and get together, and they can still make it up. But because you want to kill demons, but we want our families to be ruined, tell me, who do we listen to?"

The village woman's words attracted a chorus of approval.

Yan Qing's face turned pale, and his fists clenched tightly.

Chen Qing was in the crowd and couldn't help but stand up and said, "Aunt Wang, you can't say that. These two are also well-intentioned. As long as we kill the demon, we don't have to be blackmailed by this river god anymore, why don't we let them give it a try?"

"Give it a try?" the village woman sneered: "For such a long time, how many people have come, and they keep saying that they are going to kill demons? It's been two days since they've been here, and if they could kill the demon, they would have done so a long time ago, so do they have to wait until now?"

"Enough!" Yan Qing suddenly shouted angrily, interrupting the village woman's words, and shouted: "Don't wait for those five days, a certain family will go and kill the water demon now." ”

After speaking, he lifted his sword and strode towards the riverbank.

On the bank of the river, there was already a patrol river yaksha peeping in the dark, and when he saw this swordsman coming, he was not surprised and rejoiced, and said with a smile: "This guy dares to enter the river, he is really looking for death." ”

He took a horn from his bosom and blew it with a whining sound.

In just a moment, a cold mist rose from the river, and two or three hundred water demons came out, put on a formation, and killed them.

Yan Qing's heart burned wildly, stepping on the waves, the Imperial Sword in his hand unfolded, turning into a match-like blue light, and went straight into the water demon array.

Everyone on the shore, seeing this swordsman fighting alone against the demons, all sweated for him.

These water demons, although there are many people, they are all rabble. I saw the sword light flying, the waves roared angrily, and many demons and demons died under the sword for a while, and the blood stained half of the river.

Chen Qing looked at this Yan Qing from a distance, and raised his sword to kill the demon skull, like chopping melons and vegetables, and was very happy, as if he had cut it with his own hands.

casually glanced at Shi Zixuan, and saw that this person was silent, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

Chen Qing's heart couldn't help sinking, he walked over and said, "Dao Chief." Who do you think can win?"

Shi Zixuan sighed: "My fellow Daoist, who is proficient in swordsmanship, is invincible in swordsmanship in the world, but I am afraid that no one can beat him, even if it is these water demons." But under the White Dragon River, there is a dragon, this dragon is unknown, but I am afraid that it is not something that can be killed by swordsmanship in the world. ”

After Shi Zixuan finished speaking, the water demon on the sea had been slaughtered by Yan Qing, and his murderous aura was permeated, it was really like a killing god descending into the world.

Drawing his sword and looking around, but no demon could be seen, there was a long roar, and a fierce man pierced in.

All the villagers exclaimed in surprise, and their faces showed shock and expectation.

About a quarter of an hour later, a sudden sound of a dragon's groan came from underwater, as if with infinite anger.

Suddenly, a huge wave rose from the river, and a figure rolled out of the waves, flew down to the shore in the air, and smashed out a deep pit.

"Who won?"

The villagers all had questions in their minds, and they stepped forward to see it, but they were a little afraid.

After a while, I saw a person crawling out of the dirt pit, it was Yan Qing. It was covered in blood, and there was a black scale on the sword.

Shi Zixuan stepped forward, pulled Yan Qing up, and said, "Fellow Daoist, are you okay?"

Yan Qing shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I'm fine." Only one sword came out. cut off a piece of scales, but was whipped away by the dragon's tail. This demon is really powerful, and his real body has not come out of the water mansion, only his tail is exposed, and I will be defeated. ”

Listening to his words, the villagers, who had just given birth to a little expectation, poured down like a basin of cold water.

"Alas. It's empty joy again. ”

The villagers let out a long sigh, and the old village chief also spoke: "You two, you have tried, please leave." ”

Yan Qing pursed her lips, and a hint of unwillingness flashed in her eyes.

Shi Zixuan said: "Old man, you blind date, can you listen to me?"

The old village chief sighed: "What else is there to say now?"

Shi Zixuan said, "I just ask you to wait a few more days." ”

Aunt Wang sneered: "Little Taoist, do you really want us to be homeless before you are willing?"

Shi Zixuan glanced at her, not annoyed, and said, "This aunt, how can I think so?

Aunt Wang smiled and said, "Little Daoist, don't brag casually." This rainstorm, but the river god is angry and punishes us, you say let it stop, can it stop?"

Shi Zixuan said: "Of course I can't. But you can. ”

Aunt Wang was stunned and said, "What can I do?"

Shi Zixuan said indifferently:

"People have their own laws, and the heavens have their own rules, and the gods naturally have precepts to follow. The river god in the White Dragon River is just a dragon making trouble, claiming to be a god, but in fact he has no priesthood, but a false god.

As the saying goes, what is fake can't be true, and what really doesn't do it is fake. Since the false gods are now doing evil, we will ask the true gods to appear and let him take care of them, and take care of the rain. How?"

When everyone heard this, they all showed unbelievable expressions.
