"Hey! Why are you still following me?" Lu Zheng said in surprise.

At this time, Guangyue had three big bumps on the right side of his head, which have not subsided yet. There was a dark circle on his left eye, which was black and purple, and there was also a little swelling under the right cheek. There was a small cut at the corner of his mouth.

Looks like... like someone just beat you up?

"Amitabha!" Guang Yue said with excitement, "I didn't expect that Taoist friend not only practiced Taoism and martial arts, but also had extraordinary attainments. With such a talent, how could he delay his children's personal relationship?"< br />
Lu Zheng: (´°Δ°`)

Guangyue said, "I know brother won't understand me now, but I must urge brother Dao not to I've wasted all my talents. Brother Tao, you will know my intentions one day."

"Thank you! I won't!" Lu Zheng said helplessly, "Master, I'm actually very self-disciplined. We will not lose our fighting spirit because of the affair between our children."

"But the fox girl is charming, and the Taoist brother is nostalgic for his hometown and does not go out. This matter will happen sooner or later." Guang Yue said with a serious face, "And Only by traveling with a poor monk can a Taoist brother be brave and diligent and polish his cultivation."

Lu Zheng narrowed his eyes and held the handle of the knife with his backhand.

　……

Linhe Village is a small village with a very common name. It is exactly the same as the names of countless villages facing the river in Da Jing Dynasty, except that this Linhe Village is next to The river is called Lanshui River, and there are three villages close to it.

These four villages are blocked from the outside land roads and are blocked by mountains. The only way out is to go down the Lanshui River and enter the main river to connect to the outside world.

It’s just that the Lanshui River is narrow and fast, with surging undercurrents and dangerous shoals everywhere.

If that’s the case, relying on the villagers’ water skills passed down from generation to generation and the hydrological conditions of the Lanshui River passed down, they can get out smoothly.

But this is the world of Xianxia! There is a demon!

So... since a "river god" was added to the Lanshui River decades ago, the four villages have sacrificed a pair of boys and girls every year, so that the river god can keep the Lanshui River calm. , calm and calm.

This year, it was the time for Linhe Village to offer sacrifices again. Two pairs of parents were unlucky enough to draw lots and sacrificed their children. They cried as they watched their children being dressed up and sacrificed by the four villagers. The villagers surrounded and carried him towards the Lanshui River.

Beating gongs and drums, the noisy team came out of the village entrance and walked to the river bank not far away. At the same time, an undetectable black shadow loomed in the Lanshui River.

Just then...

　The sound of "Bang! Bang! Bang!" came, and two figures came out from the depths of the mountain. A golden light, a green shadow, separated and reunited.

Seeing the crowd here, the green figure said "Hey", stopped immediately, and then rushed over with flying steps.

The villagers looked closely and realized that the green figure was a young man wearing a blue Confucian robe. His face was like a crown of jade, his eyes were like stars, he was handsome and handsome, and his appearance was graceful.

And the golden light also followed, but it was a monk who looked quite strong, but at this time he had big bumps on his head, a bruised nose and a swollen face, and he looked very miserable.

"I have seen two...immortal masters!"

The villagers saluted one after another. Those who had seen the world just bowed, and those who were timid knelt down directly.

"No gifts, no gifts, what are you..."

Lu Zheng glanced at the villagers who were surrounding him on the wooden mat in the middle, holding toys and looking confused. The ignorant boy and girl looked at the two families who were following the team and kept crying, and they already had guesses in their hearts.

"Back to the Immortal Master, we are worshiping the river god and wishing the Lanshui River good weather next year..." the leader of the old man bowed and said.

"Sacrifice to the River God..." Lu Zheng smacked his lips, "How did you sacrifice? Besides burning incense, what was the sacrifice? Is it steamed buns, fruits and vegetables, or livestock?"

"This..."

Dajing law, it is strictly forbidden to use living people in sacrifices. What the ghosts and gods of Jing Dynasty want is incense, not human blood food.

“Amitabha!” Guang Yue’s eyes flashed, “Eating people? Pretending to be a river god? Is this an evil god’s obscene sacrifice?”

To be honest, it’s just about eating people It's okay, just stay away a little, don't take the initiative, don't take the initiative to attack, Da Jingchao may not be able to take care of it, such as Yelang Mountain.

But if you dare to think about incense, it is a matter of principle. As long as Da Jingchao knows about it, it will definitely be destroyed and kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.

“It’s either a monster or a water ghost.” Guang Yue said in a broken voice, “I’ll punish you!”

“I’ll definitely punish you!” Lu Zheng nodded.

"Immortal Master, wait a moment! Immortal Master, wait a moment!" The old man in charge hurriedly advised, "The River God cannot be angered! A few decades ago, an Immortal Master also came here, and not only did he lose his life, , and the Lanshui River has been rough all year long, and we haven’t been out for a year!”

“Yes, yes!” Several elderly people also looked frightened.

"So you just watched them shed tears?" Lu Zheng pointed to the two families behind the team.

“That’s better than having everyone die in several villages, right?” The leader, the old man, looked sad and angry.

Lu Zheng nodded, "What you said does make sense."

After hearing Lu Zheng's words, many villagers breathed a sigh of relief, and those who fell behind the team The anticipation on their faces instantly turned to despair.

Of course, Guangyue didn’t believe that Lu Zheng would just let it go, so he looked at Lu Zheng curiously, only to hear Lu Zheng continue, "But no matter what you say makes sense, can you stop me? ?”

The leader of the old man:? ? ?

"Amitabha!" Guang Yue looked pleased, "Brother Taoist should really travel with the poor monk."

"I will travel with you!" Lu Zheng He scolded angrily, then turned towards the Lanshui River, and saw a black shadow swimming upwards in the water. At the same time, his body sank, hiding his shadow on the water.

"Do it!"

Lu Zheng's blood and energy surged, and he was above the Lanshui River in an instant, and then he shot straight to the bottom like an arrow.

"Brother Taoist, are you going to enter the water?" Guang Yue was surprised, and then he saw Lu Zheng twisting a seal in his hand, and then the river automatically discharged to both sides three feet away in front of him. open.

"Water Avoidance Technique?!"

"You are on guard from above, and I will explore the way below to prevent him from hiding in a dark cave under the water and not being found." Lu Zheng As he spoke, he pushed the water in, clinging to the bottom of the Lanshui River, all the way upstream.

"Okay!" Guang Yue was not pretentious. He was holding a wooden stick and galloping with Lu Zheng by the river. He held the Buddha's seal in his hand and could deliver a fatal blow at any time.

　……

The two of them went up three miles and saw the dangerous terrain ahead and the rapid water flow. At this time, there were countless waves rising out of thin air, and then a majestic voice sounded. In the ears of the two of them, "You are going your way, I have no grievances against you, we don't offend each other, so why do you want to seek misfortune on me?"

"There is no reason. Lu Zheng walked leisurely at the bottom of the river, his speed not slowing down at all, "I just remembered that I haven't eaten river food for a long time, and I miss it a little."
