Chapter 26 The River God Marries His Wife
In the end, Chang Jin had completely understood the mystery of walking in the water. As soon as his body stopped, he stood firmly on the water. He just went deep into the water with his feet one foot, and could only see above his knees.
More than ten miles away is Laolongtan, where the River God Water Mansion is located. Although he didn't know whether the other party could sense his existence, he did not intend to take risks. He had already intentionally eliminated the Baishui River River God, but the other party's luck was still strong, so he pressed his intention to kill. However, since he had the plan to kill the River God, it would be bad to alert the snake.
After looking at Baishuihe for a few glances, Chang Jin pulled back.
In less than a month, most of the burnt River Temple was renovated.
But before people could breathe a sigh of relief, the river god once again asked a dream: "All the people in Qingshan Town listened to it. On the day of sacrifice, not only should we offer three incense, but we should also offer a girl to be my bride. The day of sacrifice is when my river god gets married..."
"Looking for Death" When people talk about the River God's marriage, Chang Jin sneered. This thing is really impatient for living, afraid that he will not lose his incense, and he actually wants to learn from humans to marry.
God is still pitiful; God is guilty of sin, and one cannot survive. It is better to take this opportunity to completely get rid of the other party.
As he imagined, most people were opposed to the marriage of the River God. After all, this was not something that could be solved by dozens of cents of silver, but a living life. Who would have the heart to let their daughters go to the tiger's mouth?
Therefore, the people on both sides of Qingshan Town went to the River God Temple to burn incense and pray, hoping that the River God could take back the matter and give up the matter.
They were disappointed. One night, heavy rainstorms were pouring, and the Baishui River suddenly flooded, rising three feet a day and rising more than one feet a day in three days, flooding all the scattered farmland opened by some farmers in the river berth, only one line away from the river embankments on both sides.
The people of Qingshan Town were frightened and hurriedly offered three animals, then knelt on the river bank to pray.
However, after the three animals were sent into the river, they soon returned to the shore in a vortex. Obviously, the river god was dissatisfied and did not intend to accept this sacrifice.
When the river flooded, Chang Jin also observed the river bank, but he didn't want to attract attention. He chose a corner without anyone. But he saw the turbid waves in this section of the river, with many black shadows in the waves, as if countless creatures in the water were agitating among them.
***
At this moment, at the bottom of the Baishui River, an ugly monster sat upright on the coral throne, and an illusory river area appeared in front of him, and countless people were shaking and talking.
After listening to their discussion, they agreed and opposed the matter of the river god marrying a wife. However, in the flood, many people are concerned about their lives, for fear that the river god will be dissatisfied and flooded Qingshan Town. Therefore, during the discussion, most of them agree that the river god will marry a wife.
Seeing this scene, the flower fish general standing under the coral throne shouted excitedly: "King, the people are willing to be in their hearts, and the marriage is done!"
"Haha," the ugly monster also had a hint of joy on his face. He felt itchy when he remembered that there would be a charming woman in the water palace soon after.
I was having a beautiful dream, but suddenly I was shocked and shouted "Not good!"
But the waves of Baishui River were rolling, and the people on the embankment were anxious to look around. No one noticed that there was a section of the embankment under his feet that had been hollowed out by termites.
It's okay usually, but unfortunately, the river water has been soaking in the past few days, and the water flow gradually penetrates into the termite holes, and the soil becomes softer little by little.
When a wave hits it, it is like the last straw that crushes the camel.
"Crash!" A dull sound broke through a crack as thick as a finger in the river bank. Before everyone could react, the river bank suddenly collapsed. Without the constraints of the river bank, the Baishui River rolled and rushed out in an instant along the gap, and the turbid waves rushed out.
"The river god is angry and breaks the embankment, save people quickly..." Someone shouted first, and the other people on the embankment reacted, rushing to jump off the embankment, and no longer dared to stand on the embankment.
When he broke through the dike, Chang Jin immediately reacted. He was shocked. He originally thought that the river god was just intimidating, but he dared to actually flood Qingshan Town.
Immediately rushed over, jumped into the rolling river, grabbed two children who fell into the water and sent them to the shore.
At this time, the river god finally arrived at the water surface. Seeing the rolling flood water gushing out along the gap several meters wide, it was extremely angry. It just wanted to intimidate the people and ask them to send the bride as soon as possible.
But I knew there was a termite hole here, and the river water really broke through the embankment...
He was angry in his heart that those people who didn't know where to stand, but they just stood on termite holes.
Whether it is a god or a human, it is instinct to repel the mistakes they have made on others. Little do they know that if the river god had not done anything wrong, how could their luck be exhausted? This coincidence happened. It was really the heaven that the river god was about to die!!
The floods in the upper reaches of the early summer surged, and the water level of the Baishui River was much higher than usual. At this moment, the dike broke down and was extremely surging and unstoppable.
In the blink of an eye, all the fertile fields on the opposite side turned into a vast sea of white.
Although the river god wanted to follow the waves and rescue the people who fell into the water, he also knew that it was more important to block the gap.
It hurriedly offered the imperial edict to make the river water fade away quickly.
Chang Jin kept jumping into the water and saving people ashore. For a while, people with good water nature joined in, and people were constantly rescued.
When the Baishui River disappeared, everyone had rescued most of the people who fell into the water. Unfortunately, some of them had been delayed for too long and had turned into cold corpses when they were rescued.
Seeing the situation where those families cried and snatched the earth, Chang Jin's murderous intent increased a little.
When they left, many families saluted him and shouted, "Thank you, Xiucai!" Many people saw that Chang Jin was the first to jump down regardless of his safety.
"No need to thank you." Chang Jin showed a bitter expression on his face. If he hadn't been that far away at that time, perhaps these people would not have died.
As more and more people saluted, Chang Jin was surprised again. He found that the red air flow on the magic pen was growing. Could it be that the magic pen could also absorb the incense and thoughts?
The flood receded and the gap in the river embankment was repaired again. However, the fear in the hearts of the people was not so easy to eliminate. Many people have begun to discuss raising money to buy a woman as a wife for the river god. Otherwise, there would be another flood, it would probably be more than just flooding a few acres of fertile land.
In this regard, Chang Jin could only regret his misfortune and anger him for not fighting. He knew that the people in this world were extremely awe of gods, but he did not expect such a change to happen. No one in Qingshan Town had the courage to resist, but instead responded to the ridiculous request of the God of the River.
***
This was the first time Chang Jin saw the ritual of worshiping the River God when he was reborn in this world.
After Guo Shenpo died some time ago, no one in Qingshan Town dared to preside over the sacrifice. The white-haired witch in front of the River God Temple was said to have been found from a nearby town.
After taking a few big men to place three animals on the bamboo raft, Zhang Xuli, who had just taken office in Qingshan Town, led the landlords and gentry of all sizes in the town to kneel down and burn incense.
In front of them, the sage of the sage, Wang Shenpo was lying on the turbid river. Then she waved her hand and the bamboo raft was pushed into the turbid river by several big men.
It's strange that the bamboo raft just entered the water, as if a pulling force was driving it to swim quickly towards the heart of the river.
When he reached the heart of the river, a whirlpool of two feet in a circle suddenly appeared, as if he was a bloody mouth, directly wrapping the bamboo raft and three animals into it.
Seeing this strange situation, many children sobbed in fear, but were covered by their parents beside them, for fear that their children would be too loud and would cause the Heshen to blame them.
Several great Han people took a few steps back and lifted another bamboo raft.
On the bamboo raft, a slim girl was wearing a wedding dress, tied tightly, and a ball of red cloth was stuffed into her mouth.
This look was obviously because she was afraid that she would struggle to speak out.
"The world is so ignorant. Even though it is a monster, it is a god!" Chang Jin sighed in his heart. There were about a thousand households on both sides of the Baishui River, and none of them dared to stand up to resist the monster. Instead, they wanted to raise silver and buy a woman to worship the river god as a bride. If this situation continues, they will probably meet the ridiculous demands of the river god next time.
Seeing the great men carrying bamboo rafts and approaching the river, Chang Jin knew that he could not wait any longer and it was time to take action.
He pulled away from the river beach, looked for a reed to cover it, quickly changed out of his clothes, and then covered his face with a gauze.
When they returned, several great men had already put the bamboo rafts into the water. In this moment, the sky above the Baishui River suddenly covered the dark clouds, and the river water instantly surged three points, rolling and splashing turbid waves three or four feet high.
In the turbid waves, several black shadows appeared and disappeared from time to time. It seemed that the aquarium monsters should come to pick them up.
Chang Jin rushed over, stepped out with his feet, and was already on the waves.
The spiritual energy surged under his feet, forming an upward buoyancy, holding Chang Jin's body.
At this time, the people on the shore were attracted by bamboo rafts, and no one noticed the abnormality in the distance.
Chang Jin wore a hat and a long gown, exerted force under his feet, and walked on the waves. Step after step, every time he stepped on the waves, there would be continuous spiritual energy flowing out from his feet and hit the river.
From a distance, I saw a bunch of water blooming behind him, and suddenly it looked like white lotus growing step by step.
Finally, a child discovered Chang Jin and broke free from the shackles of the adults and exclaimed: "Dad, look at that person running on the river!" After hearing his shout, many people nearby turned their heads and looked, and then couldn't help but scream, guessing what the mysterious figure who suddenly appeared wanted to do.
Chang Jin had no time to pay attention to the thoughts of the people on the shore. He stepped on the water with his feet. When he was still two feet away from the bamboo raft, he jumped up, swung out with a sword, and shot a red light, and murderous aura was everywhere.
The monster in the water was killed before it could react, leaving only a trace of blood mixed in the river.
Swish swish swish! Three swords killed three water monsters. The remaining one finally reacted, shrank his head and drilled into the deep water.
There was a noise on the shore, and the faces of the sacrificial lords and the gentry who were in charge of the sacrifice became strange and strange.
Chapter completed!
