The people from Nanny State went down the river, found a ferry to cross the river, and entered the neighboring Sanyang County. They did not stop in the county seat, but changed direction and went all the way to Yukou Town.
Sun Changming saw through the magpie's eyes that the incense in the river temple on the riverside pier was getting more and more prosperous.
People from Nanny Kingdom temporarily settled in Yukou Town.
Most of the people stayed in the inn and sent one person out, probably to find out information. Sun Changming controlled the magpie and followed the person who went out.
Yukou Town is more prosperous than before, and a new commercial district has been formed around Jiangshen Temple, with various shops lined up and bustling with people coming and going.
Ah Chao is now respected as "Chao Shi" by the townspeople. If he is willing to use Jiang Shen's name to make money, he can become rich in a short time.
But Ah Chao was full of piety and only wanted to spread Jiang Shen's reputation far and wide, and he was dedicated to serving the public good.
Due to his busy schedule, Ah Chao accepted three disciples, all of whom were young believers who were extremely devout to Jiang Shen after his strict inspection. Today, a believer quietly entered the house and reported to Chao Chao: "Master, there are some evil sycophants in the town recently.
, making false accusations against the God of the River, saying that he has never protected our merchant ships."
Ah Chao snorted coldly: "I know that those merchant ships that were attacked by ferocious creatures are not devout believers on board! Those fat-headed ship owners thought that as long as they sacrificed a few pigs and sheep in the Jiang Temple, they could get Lord Jiang God.
His blessing? Too naive.
I repeatedly emphasized to them that what Jiang Shen wants is our whole-hearted dedication, not simple animals.
What kind of existence is Lord Jiang Shen? How can these ordinary animals come into his eyes? Those people are unbelieving and have no respect. They deserve to be abandoned by Lord Jiang Shen!"
After he became a "chaoist", strange to say, he originally didn't know a word of Chinese characters, but his speech was clear and somewhat literate.
The apprentice said worriedly: "That being said, those ignorant people do not have the great wisdom of Master to see through the essence of all this. They can easily be incited by those evil sycophants."
Ah Chao thought for a while and said: "In fact, we don't need to worry about these things. I think Mr. Jiang Shen will make arrangements for himself."
"But as believers, we must also reflect our own value. In this way, you can collect part of the believers' donations, recruit people, and set up a team of guardians to secretly attack these evil sycophants."
"Yes." The disciple accepted the order and asked: "Master, please let me know how far this kind of 'strike' will go."
Ah Chao said without hesitation: "These evil sycophants who slander Jiang Shen have committed heinous crimes, and of course they must be completely destroyed!"
The apprentice nodded: "That's exactly what it should be."
…
A large iron-hulled ship set off from the pier in Yukou Town yesterday and sailed upriver all night, arriving near Juehu Village.
There were so many dangerous creatures in the Mengjiang River that the sailors did not dare to relax for a moment. However, this ship was different from the others. There was a small shrine fixed on the bow, and inside was a statue of the river god brought from the Jiang Temple.
It was shaped like a dragon, flying in the air, showing its teeth and claws, majestic!
The captain burns incense three times a day, but to be honest, he doesn't know if it is of any use.
During the time before and after the construction of the Jiangshen Temple, the Mengjiang River around Sanyang County was indeed relatively calm, and there were few vicious attacks. But then slowly began to spread in the town: The River God could not protect everyone, and some ran away a little further.
Iron-hulled ships are still attacked by vicious creatures, and recently I heard that several ships capsized and no one came back alive.
However, the ship owner was not rich and could not afford to hire monks to protect him on the ship, so he could only pray to the River God for protection.
The boat owner looked ahead and ordered: "Ahead is Juehu Village. Drive the boat farther away from the shore. The cold poison in Juehu Village is no joke. Don't infect us."
The iron-hulled boat slowly moved toward the center of the river. Suddenly something jumped out from under the water, and a series of "eight"-shaped ripples appeared on the river. Everyone on the boat was startled. The thing in the water seemed huge.
ah.
The boat owner secretly said "Bless the River God". If this thing really made a fuss under his boat, not to mention easily overturning his iron-hulled boat, it would definitely be very dangerous.
Fortunately, there is a statue of the River God enshrined on the bow of my boat!
However, this happy mood could not last for a moment. A dull and strange "buzz" sound came from the bottom of the river. The entire river shook violently. Everyone on the boat felt severe pain in their heads and fell to the deck together.
The captain secretly exclaimed, "What's going on? Didn't I agree that the River God would bless me?"
In a daze, everyone on the boat saw a hazy light slowly rising from the water. When it reached the surface of the river, it turned out to be a giant clam as big as a two-story building!
The clam shell opened, and in the middle was a light orb the size of a washbasin. At this moment, it looked like a vicious evil eye, staring at a boat of people.
From under the orb, countless slender fleshy thorns protruded, dancing all over the sky and reaching out to everyone on the boat.
The captain and the sailors are ordinary people, not to mention that they are so dizzy now that they can't even stand up, and they are completely unable to resist.
The boat owner wailed: It turns out that the giant thing in the water that he scared away just now is this guy's prey. If it fails to hunt, it will use his own boat to feed itself!
The boat owner couldn't help but glance at the statue of Jiang Shen, and was extremely disappointed: It was indeed useless, but it was too late to regret it...
The countless slender thorns had already enveloped the entire iron-hulled boat. Just when they were about to pierce down, a thin golden thread suddenly flew out from the water, wrapped around all the thorns, and strangled them.
tight!
The flesh was tingling in pain and he struggled hard.
Another thin line of pale gold sneaked up from behind and quickly entangled the evil eye from the root!
The giant clam struggled in great pain, but he also knew that he had encountered a strong enemy this time, so he closed the clam shell fiercely and cut off the fleshy spines. It didn't matter. He would recover slowly in the future, but the evil eye of the orb could not be missed.
The giant clam desperately sank into the river, but suddenly a giant tail raised up and slapped the giant clam's shell to pieces...
The giant clam once again sent out that strange sound wave vibration. Countless dead fish turned up on the surrounding river surface. Everyone on the boat held their heads and rolled around in pain.
But it has no effect on the small loach.
The little loach pulled the two beards, and the flesh thorns were cut off together; the evil eye of the orb was also separated from the body!
The giant clam shivered in pain, and the little loach swung its tail down again, completely ending its pain. After it died, it stopped shaking and was in no pain.
The little loach was so happy that it swam several times around its prey. Coincidentally, the iron-hulled boat was right next to the prey, as if it was guarding its followers and swam several times!
Little Loach encountered this giant clam when he first entered the Mengjiang River. At that time, for Little Loach, this guy was too powerful and could not be provoked.
But now and then, I, the little loach, am no longer Wu Xia’s Amen! I’ll take a look at you after three days of separation—I’ll scratch your single eye to see!
