The sudden sound immediately woke up He Shijing and Shi Zong from their sleep.

"Who is it?" Shi Zong jumped up from the haystack and touched the knife on the side like a conditioned reflex.

But he immediately remembered that the knife had been taken away by He Shijing a long time ago.

"Chen Daojun?" He Shijing didn't hear the previous words when he woke up, but only faintly heard the following words.

The two looked outside the door.

The light rain did not stop, and there was also a faint sound of thunder coming from the distance.

Outside the door, a figure kneeling in the darkness was holding a lantern, and the light from the lantern illuminated the outline of his figure.

He was respectful and motionless, like a stone.

If the people inside don't speak, they won't dare to get up.

The two of them looked outside through the crack in the window, and there was a large ship on the bank of the boundary river further away.

This scene is really weird.

With such strong wind, waves and heavy rain, no ship dared to sail on the river. In this ruined temple in the wilderness, someone suddenly came to visit. The person was still kneeling in the heavy rain holding a lantern.

All kinds of unusual things made He Shijing and Shi Zong feel that something was wrong.

"Looking for you?" He Shijing asked Shi Zong, who quickly waved his hand and shook his head.

"It's probably not asking me." He Shijing also felt that he wasn't here to find the other party, but he also probably wasn't here to find himself.

The two of them looked at the Taoist sitting in front of the fire and under the altar.

The donkey who was originally lying on the ground raised his head at this time, with a red light in his eyes and two rows of white teeth.

It seemed that as soon as the Taoist gave the order, he immediately rushed out of the Chuanzhu Temple and punished the evildoer with fire.

The Taoist finally slowly opened his eyes and emerged from the state of meditating and enlightening.

If sitting there originally, it felt like a painting scroll. Now that they opened their eyes, He Shijing and Shi Zong really felt like the immortal in the painting stepped through the long scroll and came out.

Those eyes reflected the vicissitudes of life in their dreams.

He Shijing finally realized what the last four words he heard in his sleep were.

He read out the name of the Taoist in front of him: "Kongchen..."

"Master Dao?"

Daojun Kongchen sat under the altar and looked at the figure sitting motionless in the wind and rain outside.

Open your mouth and speak.

"You little devil really have some courage. You know I'm here, but you still dare to come to your door."

The figure outside replied: "Master Dao is a true moral immortal, so the little demon dares to come here."

"Today on the boundary river, the little demon saw the golden chariot of the gods passing through the clouds, and knew that it was the immortal Dharma driving through the border."

"The little demon took the liberty to go up the boundary river and saw golden auspicious clouds falling here. He knew that the Immortal Saint favored my Fengzhou and came here."

"The little demon was overjoyed and came to see me in the middle of the night despite heavy rain."

"Please forgive me for disturbing the Immortal Saint."

Daojun Kongchen asked directly: "What's going on?"

The monster outside the door replied cautiously and seriously: "For the boundary river! For the life and death of the people on both sides of Fengzhou."

Daojun Kongchen narrowed his eyes: "Come in!"

Hearing the call from the immortal, the monster outside the door dared to open the door and enter.

"Squeak!"

When the door is broken open, a strong wind blows and rain comes in.

He Shijing and Shi Zong already knew from their previous conversation that there should be a monster outside the door. They also knew that the divine chariot they saw driving through the clouds on the mountain was actually the Dharma Chariot of Lord Kongchen in front of them.

.

They are involved in the affairs of immortals and gods.

Both of them were a little excited.

He Shijing and Shi Zong looked at the door intently, watching the shadows walking in intently.

I want to see what kind of monster is outside this door.

But when the other party pushed the door open and entered, they both took a breath of cold air and took a few steps back.

It's not because the other person's appearance is weird and unusual, but because the other person's appearance is too normal.

How could he be the little demon that Taoists call him?

But it is a god who has transformed into a human form.

Many people in the Wei Dynasty know that any monster that can take the form of a human is one of the top Yin gods in the state.

They are all gods who rule over all living beings.

The other party was a young man wearing a silver divine robe. He didn't look like a monster, but more like a frail scholar.

He appears to be polite and well-mannered.

The only thing that doesn't look very human is the two strands of flesh on the mouth.

It feels a bit like a catfish, but also like a dragon's whiskers.

The monster is holding a lantern in one hand and a food box in the other.

There were delicious food, wine, and some rare snacks from Fengzhou in the box. He respectfully stepped forward and placed them next to the fire.

Then he stepped back and knelt on the fire.

He directly told his origins in detail.

"The little demon was originally the envoy of the water god of Fengzhou Riyou Shenfu, named Lord Sichuan."

"The responsibility is to govern the water area of ​​100 miles of the Fengzhou boundary river, control the water monsters of the 100 miles of boundary river, and be responsible for maintaining the stability of water transportation, river flood warning and management."

He Shijing was even more shocked. Unexpectedly, he just mentioned the ancient god of Sichuan Lord Temple. In a blink of an eye, the other party arrived: "Are you the god of this temple, the ancient Lord of Sichuan?"

Shi Zong, a strong man in civilian clothes, looked at the statue on the stand, and then at the silver-robed monster in front of him. He pointed at the statue excitedly and said, "Master Sichuan? You are this..."

This monster did not dare to put on airs, but instead introduced the origin of his name to He Shijing in detail, or mainly to Daojun Kongchen.

"I am not the Lord of Sichuan in ancient times, but the new Lord of Sichuan."

"However, my name does come from this ancient Sichuan Lord. It can be considered as my admiration for this old god, and I hope to be remembered by all living beings like him."

"I just let you two down."

"This temple is an ancient temple, and the one enshrined in it is the ancient Lord of Sichuan, not the one below."

The two nodded, understanding the relationship.

Daojun Kongchen asked: "What are you talking about about the boundary river and the people on both sides?"

The Lord of Sichuan raised his hand and said, "To the Lord Dao!"

"The Taoist Lord established the way of ghosts and gods. Now all the ghosts and gods from the seven states and forty counties in the south have withdrawn. All the water monsters in this boundary river have also retreated and fled north."

"In the past, many water monsters guarded and cleaned up this boundary river. Therefore, over the past hundred years, water transportation has been stable and there has never been a flood."

"But it's different now. There are no water monsters guarding the entire Baili River area."

"There will be a lot of rain this summer. There are heavy rains in Fengzhou. The flood season is coming."

"The little demon dares to say that it won't be long before there will be a flood. Once the boundary river bursts its banks, it will be a tragic disaster for the world."

"The little demon couldn't bear to see the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait suffer this misfortune, so he came here to tell Mr. Kongchen Taoist."

Daojun Kongchen's eyes were solemn, but he also looked at the Sichuan Master with a hint of amusement.

"If the boundary river overflows again, it has nothing to do with you. Why did you come to tell me?"

"More!"

"All the water monsters in this hundred-mile river area are crossing north, why don't you go with them?"

Master Sichuan knew that his little thoughts could not be hidden from Taojun Kongchen, so he spoke frankly.

"The little demon is indeed not just for the people on both sides of the strait, but the Lord of Sichuan has guarded the boundary river for hundreds of years. I can't say that it has been flawless during these hundreds of years."

"But it can also be said that he fulfilled his duties and never slacked off for a moment."

"The little demon also watched the land on these two banks become increasingly prosperous, and watched this river become the golden waterway it is today, where merchant ships and official boats are constantly coming."

"I really can't bear to see the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait suffer such unforeseen disasters, and watch the boundary river overflowing."

"As for why the little demon stayed."

Having said this, the Lord of Monster River kowtowed and shouted.

"The Tao Lord opened the supreme road to save all sentient beings. The little demon believes that this road is the true road that all living beings have longed for for thousands of years."
