After finishing speaking, the goddess simply closed her eyes, fell to the ground from exhaustion, and passed out. It was obvious that she had been in a state of being "caught up" before.
Fang Linyan pondered for a while, then waved his hand to signal the team to retreat.
More than ten hours later, Fang Linyan arrived outside the Dragon King Temple again.
It was just after midnight, almost 0:15. The third watch defined in China is from 11:00 to 1:00, which is in line with the previously agreed time.
The purpose of people building Dragon King temples is to suppress floods and pray for good weather. Therefore, most Dragon King temples are located facing rivers or lakes. They hope to use the majesty of the Dragon King statue in the temple to suppress floods.
.
At this time, the night was as cold as water and there was no moon, but there were many stars in the sky, so the visibility was not bad, but everything around was covered with a hazy starlight.
Although Li San and Li Ju tried their best to object, Fang Linyan still came alone. After all, he was in a hurry, but the initiative was still in the hands of the other party at least for the time being.
What's more important is that the other party made an appointment to meet at the pier outside the Dragon King Temple. Coupled with the package of things he did in the underwater city, it is most likely that he is a spirit in the water. After confirming the identity of the other party,
Fang Linyan felt that he should have a trump card that he could use.
After Fang Linyan arrived at the pier, he saw a white figure in the distance. It was the goddess standing there. When he saw Fang Linyan coming, he got on the boat next to him and motioned for him to sit on it.
Seeing this scene, Fang Linyan's heart suddenly moved. The mastermind behind this stupid thing seemed to have some evil intentions.
It's not enough to meet on the shore, but you also need to completely plunge yourself into the water?
He pondered for a moment and said to the goddess:
"We can't talk here, we have to go into the water?"
The goddess said coldly:
"Come if you want to come, and leave if you don't want to."
After finishing speaking, he simply took the oar a little closer to the shore, and the boat had already swung leisurely towards the center of the lake.
Seeing this scene, Fang Linyan couldn't help laughing angrily:
"Hoho? You've got it figured out! It seems like you haven't understood the situation yet. There are eight pieces of tiles that you handed out. Believe it or not, tomorrow I will pull out all the details inside this thing, so that you can
You have a bad reputation!"
"Besides, the temple blessings and goddesses you want to protect can't stay on the lake all their lives. If they dare to go ashore, I can deal with them with my backhand, so that they can live and die!"
After finishing speaking, Fang Linyan turned around and left.
Obviously, the other party did not expect Fang Linyan to react so violently. It was not until Fang Linyan walked more than 20 meters that the goddess said coldly:
"This god made Yin Wa because he saw how difficult people's lives were and how they were suffering from diseases, so he wanted to save them from fire and water. It was a great act of kindness to benefit the people. What nonsense are you talking about!"
Fang Linyan looked up to the sky and smiled:
"Hahahaha, this trick of yours can be used to deceive these foolish women and people in the countryside, but you still want to pretend in front of me?"
As he spoke, Fang Linyan took out a piece of paper and read loudly:
"According to the information I collected, I have found a total of 82 people who have used your Yinwa decoction. Among them, 11 people's medicine has no effect, and the people who have no effect are all without exception. They are all lingering on the bed and dying.
people."
The goddess sneered:
"Medicine and medicine are destined for people. If these people don't believe in this god and are not pious enough, they deserve to die! Aren't there still seventy-one people saved by this god's medicine?"
Fang Linyan sighed and said:
"It's very impolite to interrupt someone else's conversation. Haven't I finished speaking?"
"Among the 71 people for whom the drug took effect, as many as 53 relapsed in the next year, and this time the disease was so serious that they died directly."
"Even the remaining eighteen people who are not in any condition have become very weak and obviously aged."
The goddess said:
"What does this mean? They are already sick. Isn't it normal for the old disease to relapse?"
Fang Linyan said coldly:
"Do you have to tell me all your tricks? This yin tile should be a demon weapon you refined. After you put it in and cook it, it can temporarily stimulate the patient's vitality to a large extent. A small part of the stimulated vitality is useful.
To fight against diseases, this is the reason why most people will improve or even be cured after using Yinwa decoction, but in fact the upper limit of their life span has been greatly reduced."
"And most of the vitality stimulated is absorbed by Yinwa. Therefore, after Yinwa decoction, most people will relapse. Even if they don't, these people will be obviously old and weak. Originally, they only have
At the age of forty, his body is already as weak as that of an old man in his seventies or eighties."
"As for those whose Yinwa decoction is ineffective, it is of course because the vitality in their bodies is extremely weak and cannot be stimulated at all."
"Finally, these yin tiles will be taken back by the Dragon King Temple's temple blessings every once in a while, and they will be given to you as blood sacrifices. You will take the opportunity to absorb the vitality collected and stored in them, and enjoy the blood food from the sacrifice. At the same time, you will also get a local
good reputation!"
"enough!"
The goddess's voice suddenly turned sinister:
"It seems that you are much smarter than your father!"
Suddenly, the water splashed everywhere! Fang Linyan felt a huge suction coming from him, trying to pull himself into the water.
He took a closer look and saw that the "little boat" the goddess was sitting on turned out to be a huge red forked tongue. It must have been a blindfold or something like that.
At the end of the tongue, there is a huge bloody mouth, which looks like a deep cave. It exudes endless suction and an indescribable disgusting stench, trying to pull Fang Linyan in.
And the attraction continued to increase, Fang Linyan hurriedly grabbed the tree next to him to temporarily stabilize the stake under his feet.
Seeing this scene, Fang Linyan thought to himself that it was a good thing that I didn't get on the boat, otherwise, wouldn't it be like letting the mermaid be eaten?
After taking a few more glances at this time, Fang Linyan was sure that the mastermind behind this was probably a huge water monster, but he couldn't tell the specific species. Some looked like snakes, some looked like snakeheads, and the mouth looked a bit like...
toad.
Feeling the attraction in that huge mouth getting stronger and stronger, Fang Linyan calmly took out something and put it in front of him:
"You are so bold! Look what this is!"
After taking this thing out, there were no strange things like landslides, lightning and thunder. To outsiders, it looked like an ordinary box was thrown on the ground.
"Haha, idiot, is this just a broken box?"
Then the sound suddenly stopped! After a few seconds of silence, he simply shut his mouth and turned around and ran away! A huge splash of water splashed out, and the goddess collapsed to the ground and passed out on the dock.
Faced with this situation, Fang Linyan felt a little dumbfounded for a moment. He didn't expect that the trump card he prepared would have such immediate results.
What is this box? Of course it is the iron-ruyi box that Fang Linyan sent to him after he worshiped the river god at the Yellow River!
This box was brought ashore by the giant Yellow River dragon, the steward of the Dragon Vein Spirit of the Yellow River. In addition, the Ruyi inside the box must have been played and appreciated by the Yellow River God, so there must be something on this box.
It smells of giant dragons and dragon veins.
The monster causing trouble in front of it must have very strong senses. It sensed it as soon as Fang Linyan took out the human skin bookmark, so under normal circumstances, it would definitely detect the aura on the box.
Of course, Fang Linyan also made two preparations. What if the other party is a fool and refuses to sell his account?
That's okay, in the haystack thirty meters away, Miao Zhu, who was tied up and gagged, was hidden inside.
When necessary, Fang Linyan could aim at him with a flying blade, and then use it as a springboard to escape smoothly, leaving himself with no way out. Fang Linyan would never do such a thing.
However, it turns out that the aura of the giant Yellow River dragon is still very powerful. The monster in the lake really fled in a hurry without even saying a harsh word!
How to evaluate such behavior?
Low EQ: bullying the weak and fearing the strong
High emotional intelligence: calm and rational
Fang Linyan felt angry and funny about this. This guy had put a lot of pressure on him before, but now he seemed to be a bit of a bully.
Of course, the occurrence of such a crushing effect also shows that the old butler - the giant Yellow River dragon is very powerful among these water monsters and has a high status.
In an instant, there was no trace of the giant monster on the lake, only the waves that kept swaying, and they were still rushing against the stone shore on the pier. Fang Linyan simply walked over.
On the pier, he shouted directly to the lake:
"I know you haven't gone far. Come out and let's continue chatting."
It was quiet all around, except for the extremely noisy frogs, which seemed to be mocking Fang Linyan for thinking nonsense.
The corner of Fang Linyan's mouth twitched, and then he continued to shout:
To be continued...
