(Ten thousand words chapter)
A short woman wearing imperial robes appeared out of thin air on the bank of the Buried River, walking slowly.
As her realm of cultivation has risen sharply, the Goddess of Buried Rivers has become more and more skilled in controlling the water transportation on both sides of the bank. It is like a military general opening up territory and expanding the territory. Wherever the horse's hooves go, it is the territory.
The Buried River is a large river that almost crosses most of the Daquan Dynasty from east to west. In the past, she could barely maintain the power of the Buried River with the help of her refined weapons. Facing a troublesome river monster that has not yet reached the Golden Core realm, she would already have a hard time. If she took the risk
Biyou Palace was rashly promoted to Biyou Palace, but the Daquan court was unwilling to spend part of the national fortune and asked the monks of Qin Tianjian to bring it and put it in the Water Temple.
This is also one of the reasons why the Water Goddess is unwilling to agree. Once the plaque on the palace is replaced by Biyou Palace, everyone will be jealous and coveted from all directions. Maybe the two plaques on the palace will be used as firewood one day.
She is naturally bold and has a violent temper. This is true. She could have been buried in a river for hundreds of years. She has firmly grasped every opportunity in her hands. Naturally, she is definitely not an idiot.
She squatted down and picked up a handful of water from the buried river. Under the moonlight, the river water rippled slightly in her palms. Compared with before, she felt much more energetic.
Before rushing to the post house, many incense essences that the water temple could not bear first flowed backwards and poured into the temple. The originally silver-white incense essence turned into pale gold and floated towards the main hall in strands.
The clay sculpture and golden body are not the gilding craftsmanship of some statue craftsmen, but the foundation of the divine way of a landscape deity. It is a manifestation of the great avenue, and the rich light golden incense slowly suffuses the altar.
The golden statue on the statue is known as "gold-painted" in Shinto. There are only two situations where such a phenomenon will occur. One is that the monks of the Qintian Supervisor carry the emperor's will and act according to the order.
An imperial brush dipped in gold depicts the golden body of a certain god. Most of them are just "several enlightenments". There is also a kind of Confucian saint who "points the country" to the golden body, and these Confucian saints must be at least seventy-two.
The Master of Academy Mountain and his ilk.
In addition to the great blessing that the Buried River Water Temple inexplicably received, Biyou Mansion was even more blessed by water transport, and auspicious clouds gathered like a canopy.
It can almost be regarded as a paradise for spiritual practice.
This move is considered a formality!
Truly recognized by the orthodoxy of Haoran Heaven and Earth!
No matter how arrogant the River Goddess is, she still knows that this great favor that caught her off guard is no less than the first time Mr. Chen taught him a lesson and solved his doubts.
In the post house, she joked that she had given her body to him, but the reason for this was that she really didn't know how to repay her.
The jade slip itself is actually what she calls the treasure of Biyou Mansion.
In ancient times, the Mihe River was once the main trunk of one of the three major rivers entering the sea in Tongyezhou. Since then, changes in the sea, river changes, siltation, blockage and other changes have made the rules of that major river smaller and smaller, and finally only the
One section is the buried river. The predecessor of Biyou Mansion is the ruins of the "Hedu Dragon Palace", and the jade slip is the treasure she found from the ruined Dragon Palace. It has not changed its color for thousands of years, and is the essence of the river water.
Condensed into substance, it is a concrete representation of the water movement of heaven and earth, and then refined into a jade slip by the old Dragon King. Presumably in the distant years when the Dragon Palace was still there, this jade slip was also a treasure that the Dragon King couldn't put down.
She asked Chen Pingan to write down the Taoist secrets of the Xian family and destroy the jade slips immediately. In fact, she was just teasing.
Only Chen Ping'an could destroy the jade slips unless he was a god in the fifth realm.
However, after refining it into a natal object, and now that she has the secret to "reach immortality in one step", she believes that as long as Chen Ping'an works hard, he has a lot of hope.
She stepped into the buried river in one step and walked on the water, like a goddess in a fantasy novel.
The only fly in the ointment is that the river demon must have colluded with a nearby mountain god, landed on the shore, and hid in the mountains somewhere, without a trace.
The Water Goddess fell backwards and lay on the surface of the river, drifting downstream with the current.
The water ghosts drowned in the river followed the Water Goddess at the bottom of the river, drifting towards the Water God Temple.
She suddenly covered her face, looking shameless and coquettish, "Those embarrassing words are not something that a young girl can say."
Fortunately, she quickly regained her fighting spirit. She sat up and said happily: "Hurry up and ask the craftsmen to go to Mirage City to reshape the statue of the god! People rely on clothes and gold makeup! The curve on the chest of the statue should be exaggerated.
Well, the legs can be longer!"
Some water ghosts wandering at the bottom of the river who have enlightened their intelligence really gained their knowledge. There is such an interesting water goddess in the world.
————
The Yao family's team encountered many ridiculous things on their way north.
A well-known martial artist came here with an exquisite eight-treasure gun made of fine iron, saying that he wanted to learn about the Yao family's gun, which was so powerful at the border.
This man called his friends, and dozens of horses roared over, all stopping on the official road. He sat high on the horse and shook out a fancy gun. It can't be said that he is a three-legged cat Kung Fu, and he is a second- or third-rate person.
Martial arts masters can still develop skills that have been honed for more than ten years, but the fighting skills of such martial arts people are certainly not on the same level as those of the Yao family's iron spear, which can make the difference between life and death in the blink of an eye.
Yao Zhen was sitting in the carriage and reading military books. He just thought it was funny and had no experience with these heroes who were crazy about fame. When Yao Jin gave an order, the Yao family's cavalrymen silently took off their light crossbows, scaring the group of people.
He immediately ran out of the official road and waited until the Yao family's team had gone away, chattering endlessly, complaining that the Yao family's cavalry was like an embroidered pillow, with a false reputation, and no confidence to even compare the results with his marksmanship.
As a result, this group of people were arrested and brought to justice by the prefecture and city officials that day, and the brothers and sisters suffered a solid meal in prison.
Later, there was a wild cultivator from the Lower Five Realms, who was not very old, in his early twenties, and tried to become a military follower of the Yao family, but he did not dare to make any mistakes. He explained his general life background and touted his magical skills appropriately.
Fa, squatting outside the inn where he was staying, eating dry biscuits and drinking bad wine, waiting for his defeat. Yao Zhen asked someone to give him a hundred taels of silver. Ye Xiu blushed, but he accepted the money before leaving.
.
As we got closer and closer to Mirage City, the news that Yao Zhen was about to take up the post of Minister of War spread like wildfire, spreading throughout the government and the public.
There was another frustrated military monk who was in his prime, tall and tall, blocking the way. He threatened that if anyone from the Yao family defeated him, he would get out immediately. Then Shao Yuanran showed his hand, and he got out.
What really aroused the curiosity of the Yao family team was that the mountain god waded into the water and the water god went up the mountain. Two strange things happened in succession.
It's just that these two mountain and water gods are far inferior to the rank of the river god, and they are the lowest-ranking local gods. The mountain god governs a land with a radius of a hundred miles, and the water god is the Hebo who is responsible for a river of two hundred miles. The mountains and rivers on both sides
They are neighbors, so the relationship is not harmonious, and there are frictions from time to time. But in the past, it was just a small fight, just shouting at each other at the border of the mountains and rivers. However, recently, because of a big pilgrim, the incense burning gate was changed, and the temple was moved from the mountain temple to the water god temple.
, it was related to whose pocket a small amount of one hundred thousand taels of silver went into every year. The little mountain god asked a tugong under his command to secretly persuade the pilgrims to change their minds. Unexpectedly, He Bo bumped into him and beat the tugong to shame.
In a fit of anger, he directly crossed the border and waded into the river. With two big axes, he hit the river for more than ten miles and set off huge waves. The people were horrified. How could the water god afford such shame? He carried the river water back up the mountain and rushed directly to the mountain temple.
The Yao family team happened to be on their way near the river bank at that time. The two worshipers and the Yao family monks who accompanied the army protected Yao Zhen and the three Yao people to watch the fun.
Among the group of people following Chen Ping'an, only Pei Qian and Zhu Lian followed.
Then I saw the scene of the Hebo Temple on Jiji Mountain.
The two sides fought hard, and the mountain god took advantage of the position and pushed He Bo back into the water. He Bo once again controlled the turbid water, becoming more and more courageous the more he fought.
You come and go, each showing his magical powers, and a beautiful mountain peak is completely flooded by the flood, and countless towering trees are broken and collapsed.
Outside the battlefield, the land lords and mandrills on the mountain, the shrimp soldiers, crab generals and water ghost servants by the river were waving flags and shouting, all hoarse, looking more tired than fighting in battle, and competing with each other. A red drum was set up by the river.
They beat drums to cheer for their master He Bo, and the drums beat like thunder. They quickly brought out a flag several feet high from the mountain and waved it vigorously, making a hunting sound.
Shao Yuanran stood next to Yao Jinzhi and explained to her the inside story of the landscape gods. His words were humorous. The girl Yao Lingzhi listened with interest, but she didn't know what her sister Yao Jinzhi was thinking under the curtain.
Pei Qian was busy picking up the lively river fish on the shore, which was much easier than fishing by herself.
This farce was interrupted by a livid-faced Zhoucheng City God, who came in the wind, hovered in the air, and cursed the two gods bloody.
This City God is wearing an official uniform specially made by the Daquan Rites Department. The front and back official patches are the same as those of officials in the underworld. The specific rank is determined by the pattern. However, the official uniforms of the City God are all black, which means walking in the underworld as a human monarch.
, restraining the many ghosts and ghosts that haunt the night. Compared with the obscene temples that are scattered all over the world and have been repeatedly banned, the City God needs the imperial edict more, and there is almost no case of "incorrect name". Any surname in charge of the country has certain surnames.
The City God who is rooted in the city is naturally the easiest to control, and the City God is naturally loyal to the court.
Chen Pingan looked at the commotion in Fangshanshui and felt at peace.
Compared with my experience in Longquan Town and what I saw and heard during my two trips, these scenes before me are ultimately trivial and far from ridiculous. It’s just that it’s hard to climb up to Piyun Mountain in my hometown again. It’s the first time.
It feels like seeing the majestic river.
Zhu Lian was standing next to Chen Pingan. Among the four retinues, the Yao family was deeply impressed by this man because compared to the other three, this rickety old man really looked like a follower. In addition, they all heard that there was a fight in the inn.
From the performance of the four of them, it was vaguely known that the stunning woman carrying the sword was a swordsman, the majestic Mr. Lu was a master of swordsmanship, and the silent Wei Xian stood in front of him and blocked the group attack of the royal qigong practitioners.
This little old man with a kind look was the most brutal in his attacks. When the battle came to an end, the ground around where the old man was standing was full of broken limbs.
Zhu Lian did not go to see Chen Ping'an.
Many times, the human heart does not need to be seen with the eyes.
Zhu Lian became more and more curious about what kind of hidden dragons and crouching tigers there were in Longquan County and the Lizhu Cave, the predecessor of Longquan County, so that such a young Chen Ping'an seemed to have seen the great winds and waves of the world long ago, and it was difficult to feel the ups and downs of his mood.
.
At a young age, there is no wave in the ancient well.
It is inevitable that there is a twilight atmosphere and the suspicion of the city government.
But Zhu Lian didn't think so. Chen Ping'an, who was always kind to others, gave him a vague feeling, like deep in the ancient well of his mind, there was an evil dragon swimming vaguely at the bottom of the water.
It's just that this unknown dragon is probably bound to the bottom of the well by etiquette and rules, and the distinction between good and evil. Even if it wants to surface, it can't do it.
Zhu Lian did not dare to speculate on anything else. He was only certain of one thing. Deep in Chen Pingan's heart, there must be one or two great obsessions that he could not let go.
To be continued...
