Chapter 180 The tide rises in the Yinyi River! The Water Goddess!
Five days later.
Hua Hua——
Hua Hua Hua——
The sky was dark and dark, and it was raining continuously.
After the plum rainy season comes July, which is also the rainy season most prone to floods. It rained for five days.
Yinyi River.
Boom!
With frequent rains in the upper reaches, the water level of the Yinyi River rises, and the river surges like a yellow turbid dragon churning over the river and the sea, with a shocking momentum.
After the yellow and turbid dragon that was turbulent in the river reached the open space in Fucheng, the river became calm again as if a dragon had subdued the tiger and subdued it.
It seems like the location of this city.
It is the eye of the great power of heaven and earth.
Can trap evil spirits.
Suppress all evil causes.
But despite this calm, it still cannot prevent the upstream rainwater from flooding, causing the downstream water level to rise every day.
If the upstream floods are not blocked or diverted in time, the floods will sooner or later reach Fucheng, which has an open terrain. By then, Fucheng, which is a flat plain, may turn into a land of thousands of miles of red water.
At this time, many people were kneeling down to the Yinyi River on the bank of the river, praying to the Dragon King to calm down and not bring floods that would destroy crops and food.
Most of these people are elderly.
Their old eyesight is dim, and most of their ears are not working well. They do not listen to others' advice, and those with stubborn temper must kneel down to worship the Dragon King and pray for him to appease his anger.
It added a bit of depression and uneasiness to the hearts of the people in the city.
First, the Yinyi River continued to dry up, and then it rained continuously. The weather was abnormal, which may be an ominous sign.
Even the ferry business on the Yinyi River has been affected.
The ferryman changed course and went fishing.
The fishermen turned to fishing for corpses.
The business of passenger ships and merchant ships has declined a lot, and they are all worried that the Yinyi River will flood. This year, the Yinyi River will be in trouble.
Today, the masts on the Yinyi River are still in twos and threes. Even the boatmen and boatmen on the merchant ships looked listless on the empty river, and they were bored and wanted to doze off.
suddenly.
A frightened shout broke the calm on the river bank. Someone shouted that there was a dead person in the river! There was a dead person in the river!
The screams of fear came from a merchant ship.
When the yamen servants rushed over and found a fishing boat to help fish out the dead people, the people around him were so frightened that they took a step back after seeing the dead people clearly.
This is a bride wearing a bright red wedding dress.
The bride's head covering has long been lost.
It can be seen that she is a young girl, with a childish face, she may not be sixteen years old.
It's scary to see a dead person, but the dead person is still wearing a red wedding dress as a bride. Whose bride fell into the water and drowned?
The most dangerous one is the female ghost in red.
This bride is really evil enough to die.
Just when everyone was panicking, suddenly, an old man in the crowd knelt on the ground, bang, bang, bang, kowtowed to the female corpse, and shouted with fear in his mouth: "This is a sacrifice to the Dragon King.
Goddess of Water, the Dragon Prince needs a wife to quell the flood. We can’t salvage. If we can’t salvage, we will offend the Dragon Prince.”
"Several officials, hurry up and send the Dragon Prince's bride to Huijiang again."
"If we offend the Dragon King, the Dragon King will send a flood and drown us all."
Your old man was so frightened that he went crazy and shouted, shouting to send the Water Goddess to the river quickly, hoping that doing so would appease the Dragon King.
I hope the Dragon King can forgive their unintentional offense.
"Damn it, Lord Dragon!"
"This is human life!"
"Whoever continues to f*cking mislead the public with their lies will be arrested and no one will be spared!"
The government official, who was soaked by the rain, turned blue with anger and shouted loudly at the people watching around him.
"Master Guan, it's really hard to find the body of the Water Goddess..."
"It's going to rain, and the Dragon King wants to get a wife..."
The old man was still shouting like crazy, but the head catcher shouted loudly that he was stubborn and ordered the government officials to take away both the man and the woman's body.
On the way back from the arrest, his face kept looking ugly.
The thing that worried the Yamen the most finally happened. Since the Dragon King came ashore, rumors about the appearance of the Dragon King became more and more widespread among the people. As expected, some ignorant villagers began to use people as animal sacrifices and secretly sacrificed people to the Dragon King.
If this matter is not handled well, the public sentiment in Wuzhou Prefecture may be in chaos.
This public sentiment is almost unstoppable.
There was a village upstream that sacrificed young girls to the Dragon King, and the government office salvaged the body of the Water Goddess from the river, and soon the news spread wildly among the people in the city.
This incident really caused a sensation.
Actually, many people said that the government should not recover the body of a woman. The hatred of killing her father and seizing his wife is irreconcilable. Today, the government has recovered the goddess of water who was sacrificed to the Dragon King in a village. This is a complete offence to the Dragon King.
When the people are not afraid of the government.
Instead, he began to fear the evil forces and heresies of ghosts and gods.
This is a sign that people's hearts will be in chaos.
…
…
Taoist temple of the five internal organs.
Under constant observation day and night.
Swallow the "Qingxin Yangshen Bawei Wan" that has been used for three hundred years to nourish the mind continuously.
Jin An's spiritual martial arts has made great progress.
It has been a month and a half since he practiced the spiritual martial art "The Holy Art of the Demon".
In just one and a half months, he had perfected the "Heavenly Demon Sacred Technique". This rapid progress was truly astonishing.
Be replaced by ordinary people.
I'm afraid that even if you spend a lifetime of hard work, you may not be able to achieve perfection.
And now he.
The Jianghu martial arts he has practiced include "The Forty-Two Levels of Blood Sword Sutra", "Baji Xingyi Quan", "Seventh Level of Black Mountain Kung Fu", and "Fifth Level of Heavenly Demon Sacred Kung Fu".
There is also the Taoist practice "The Five Zang Secret Sutra".
There is a knife trick.
There is horizontal training in Kung Fu.
There are both internal and external skills.
There is spiritual martial arts.
There is also the miraculous healing effect of Zang Qi in the Five Zang Immortal Temple.
He is now considered to be the same inside and out, perfect, and has deduced himself to perfection without any shortcomings.
Great achievement in martial arts!
During the five days that Jin'an was in seclusion and cultivating, Fucheng was also full of uproar.
The impact of the Dragon King's disembarkation case on the common people has not only not faded over time, but has intensified.
It seems that someone has been adding fuel to the fire.
The folk influence never fades.
In just a few days, the case of the Dragon King coming ashore has spread from the capital city to all the major counties in Wuzhou Prefecture, and everyone is aware of it.
This is the time when the storm is about to come!
The atmosphere in the city is even more tense! It’s chilling!
Every day, you can see government officials cooperating with the military men in the military camp outside the city to hunt down suspicious people in the city.
This tense atmosphere.
It has been going on for several days.
People are panicked.
But the government and the military have been searching the city intensively for so many days, but there has been no new progress.
Compared with the storm in the city, the Bailong Temple, a grand Buddhist temple on a low hill in the city, was unusually calm, and there was no news of the death of Master Shanneng.
On the contrary, the Dragon King came ashore and made the people in the city panic. The incense in the temple became more prosperous. Every day, people came to Bailong Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings.
Even the incense and candle business in Taitai City is booming.
The abnormal calmness of Bailong Temple made Jin An feel that Bailong Temple must be hiding something. He wanted to go to Bailong Temple several times to take a look.
But his current identity is the new leader of Wu Zang Taoism and the master of a temple. Taoist disciples go to Buddhist temples to contribute incense money to the Buddha. Jin An is worried that his uncle and master will come to see him in his dreams at night.
As peaceful as Bailong Temple.
There is also a Taoist temple with five internal organs.
But the peace of the Five Zang Taoist Temple is really peaceful, and the incense is even.
Because the expansion of the Wuzang Taoist Temple has not been completed and it has been affected by rain for several days, the completion date has been repeatedly delayed.
The expansion of the Wu Zang Taoist Temple has not been completed, and even the incense in the Taoist temple has been affected. There have been no new incense believers for a long time.
Those who come to burn incense and pray every day are all old acquaintances, such as the scholar whom I rescued a few days ago;
Another example is the diners at the bun stall who were treated to a treat that day;
Then there are the third young lady of the He family, the maids beside the eldest lady, the servants in the laundry room, the servants of the He family, and the old lady and daughter-in-law of the Xue family.
However, these servants and servants usually don't have time to leave the house every day. They occasionally come to the Taoist temple to burn incense, and then go to the old Taoist priest to ask for fortune-telling.
On the other hand, the Xue family's husband, wife, and daughter-in-law, because they miss him too much, come to the Taoist temple to chant sutras for Xue Xiong every day, praying that he will be reborn into a good family in the next life.
At the end of the day, the daughter-in-law of the Xue family supported her father-in-law and mother-in-law, who had aged much overnight, out of the Wu Zang Taoist Temple and got into the carriage. As soon as they left, Mrs. He's Qingluan-carved carriage stopped at the entrance of the Wu Zang Taoist Temple.
Today's lady is dressed in a slightly plain and elegant style. Her black hair is tied into a woman's bun. A jade hairpin and a gold hairpin are randomly tied on the bun. She is loose and loose yet still looks like a lazy lady.
Wealthy temperament.
Perhaps it was because it was a cold rainy day and the lady was afraid of the cold. She wore a pink and crispy long skirt, and also wore a smokey white gauze. She tied a peony belt around her waist, and her waist was not full.
It has the conservatism of a married woman but also gives people the soft pinkness and playfulness of a 28-year-old girl. Coupled with the well-maintained skin of a lady, even if time flies by, it still sets off the skin like snow.
Mesmerizing.
The eldest lady's outfit may seem plain and casual, but she actually put a lot of thought into it.
When the eldest lady arrived at Wu Zang Taoist Temple, the first person to receive her was an old Taoist priest who had just sent away Mr. Xue's wife and daughter-in-law and was about to return to the main hall to continue drawing yellow talismans.
When he heard that the eldest lady had come to see Jin An by name today, the old Taoist priest murmured in his heart, and then took the eldest lady to the private backyard of the Taoist temple.
Normally, if nothing happens, Jin An would practice in his private backyard.
The eldest lady is an old acquaintance. Even the Five Zang Taoist Temple was fully funded by the eldest lady. No one can offend the eldest lady, a big benefactor, so the old Taoist priest did not avoid suspicion and brought the eldest lady here directly.
Taoist temple private backyard.
"Little brother, the eldest lady is here to see you again."
The old Taoist priest shouted towards Jin'an's house.
Not long after, the door opened and Jin An walked out to greet the eldest lady. Then, the eldest lady walked into Jin An's house, leaving two personal maids outside to guard the door.
"The eldest lady and the little brother are chatting slowly. I will draw the talisman in the front hall. If you have anything to do, little brother, you can ask the eldest lady's maid to come to the front hall to find me."
"Taoist Chen, you don't need to retreat. I'm here today mainly to find you and Taoist Jin'an. The governor has made up his mind and finally wants to recruit masters from all the Taoist temples and Buddhist temples in the city to prepare to go to the Yinyi River and Qian'an.
Cave! Looking for the Dragon King!" The eldest lady explained her purpose.
The old Taoist priest looked surprised and asked Fu Yin why he suddenly decided to go down to the Yinyi River?
The eldest lady looked solemnly and said: "Taoist Chen and Taoist Jin'an are both worldly masters who have escaped from the world and practiced spiritual practice. Maybe they don't know that a big event happened in the Yinyi River this morning... A dressed-up bride was salvaged from the Yinyi River this morning.
The corpse of the woman in the big red robe, some people are sacrificing a living person to the Dragon King to serve as the Water Goddess..."
"The people's hearts began to be in turmoil, and the negative impact of the Dragon King case began to become more and more severe. The governor began to prepare for the Dragon King to calm the people's hearts."
"Because I knew this matter was of great importance, I came here to inform Taoist Jin'an and Taoist Chen."
Jin An's eyes flashed: "It's the rainy season now, when the river is swollen. If you want to go down to the Qianku Cave of the Yinyi River, you must first stop the flow of the Yinyi River. Fu Yin is sure to control the power of heaven to stop the flow of the Yinyi River.
?”
The eldest lady looked at Jin An with eyebrows that seemed to be frowning but not frowning: "I wonder if Taoist Jin'an has ever heard of Hanba?"
"It seems... Fu Yin found a drought demon."
A small drought cuts off the flow?
"!"
Jin An and the old Taoist priest looked at each other.
