The old beggar watched Liang Du leave with Fang Xiu. He wanted to stay here first, after all, the people in the village still needed him to deal with.
Fortunately, these Jianghu people obeyed the rules under the suppression of the old beggar, and the city guards and Caobang helped explain the cause and effect to the people, so they were able to enter the city.
However, after these people returned to the inn, the more they thought about it, the more wrong they became.
I have such a good drinking capacity and my cultivation level, how could I get drunk so easily?
etc!
I was clearly drinking tea in a teahouse before, so where did I get the wine!?
Then why did he go to Tongning Village to run wild?
What is going on? Is someone plotting against me?
Yes, it must be Ma Laosan. This guy is jealous that he married his senior sister, and this time he must be taking revenge on himself.
Each of these people came up with a story of love and hatred. When the old beggar saw them suddenly fighting, he looked confused.
What the fuck is going on?
After he separated everyone and figured out the reason, the absurdity of it all made him speechless.
Tell me, what's all this?
…
Yongcheng.
The sun is rising in the east, and the weather is cool in autumn.
Sanwei Restaurant.
An old beggar sat in the middle of the lobby, but the table was full of delicacies.
What about Wuming lemon duck, Hengxian fish...
The first table is full.
The old beggar drank a sip of wine and ate a sip of vegetables, feeling very happy.
But the shopkeeper and the waiter stood behind the counter, seemingly not worried at all that the beggar would eat the Overlord meal.
In fact, they were a little worried two days ago and almost didn't even let him in.
But after the beggar finished his meal several times, several fierce-looking charlatans took the initiative to pay the bill, and the old beggar became the boss of the restaurant.
This is not a beggar, it is clearly a rich man here to experience life.
At this time, the old beggar burped. The waiter stepped forward very discerningly, but before he even took a step, he was dumbfounded.
If you want to flatter someone, you need to be agile.
No, someone is already tapping his shoulders and back behind the old beggar.
Pooh.
A bunch of sycophants.
…
Just then, there was chaos on the street.
The old beggar was still enjoying the service of the people behind him, but suddenly he opened his eyes.
Something happened.
In other words, the people are crazy.
Yongcheng already has the Yongjiang River, and the ferry of the Yongjiang River has also created the prosperity of Yongcheng.
However, just now, a cargo ship suddenly sank, but no one died.
No one died.
This is a strange thing.
You know, among those men working for a living on the banks of the Yongjiang River, which one is not good at water?
But when a shipwreck occurs, people will die, or even the whole army will be wiped out.
But things are so strange. This time the boat capsized, no one died.
The people all said that the river god protected them, and even the survivors said that they were rescued by the river god.
Those who make a living on the water are most taboo about this, so people flocked to worship the river god.
The old beggar knew immediately that this matter was not simple.
When he came to the edge of the Yong River and saw Liang Du among the crowd, he sighed to himself, Liang Du was already here, so this matter was just as he expected, and it would definitely not be simple.
Liang Du was really confused at the moment. Not many people died at the ferry every year, but today there was a shipwreck, but all the boatmen were fine.
strangeness.
At this time, the people had already begun to bring three animals to worship the river god and thank him for saving the lives of the people.
There was a burst of playing and singing, which was very lively.
Many people knelt on the ground and swore that they were rescued by the river god.
The old beggar pushed aside the crowd and slowly walked towards Liang Du. Liang Du frowned and opened his mouth to stop him.
"Don't come close."
The old beggar was stunned and at a loss. What's going on?
"The smell of alcohol is so strong, how much have you drunk?"
Hearing this, the old beggar felt relieved.
It turned out that it was just because I drank too much wine and the taste was too strong, and it was not because I wanted to draw a clear line with myself.
"Hehe, I actually didn't drink much, and I can get drunk too, so it won't delay things."
The old beggar laughed naively, then exhaled, and all the smell of alcohol disappeared.
Liang Du had no time to talk to the old beggar at this time, because the people were already carrying three animals and preparing to go into the water.
Liang Du looked at the scorching sun in the sky. He wanted to see if there was any so-called river god who dared to appear at this time.
If it is really a cross-dressing god and a ghost, then you will make a fortune just by looking at it.
The evil that can appear during the day must be at the level of evil spirits. That is a silver mark!
At this time, some people knelt on the ground and prayed, wishing them good luck this year.
The ferry is still lively and has turned into a bustling city.
At this moment, the people from Caobang had also come to the side, and the leader was Fang Xiu.
They have also received the news, but they are dubious about it.
Fang Xiu also saw Liang Du. He gave a look, but Liang Du shook his head.
Fang Xiu understood immediately and asked the Caobang gang not to act rashly for the time being.
The whole team of worshipers was still sailing on the boat, and soon they reached the middle of the water. An old man on the boat began to recite the sacrificial words.
Liang Du narrowed his eyes at this moment.
There is really some movement.
What's even more strange is that the thing that appears clearly has a Yin aura, but it also has some other aura.
The strength is not at the level of an evil spirit!
Liang Du has already killed two evil spirits, one suppressed by the City God's Temple and the owner of the Ghost Palace.
And what appeared here was obviously inferior to these two, not even the half-disabled evil spirit of the City God's Temple.
So how dare it appear during the day?
You know, when Du Zhishan introduced it, the ones that could appear during the day were at least evil spirits.
This made Liang Du a little confused, "What do you think this is?"
"ah?"
The old beggar was stunned, what is that?
Liang Du reacted immediately, his expression became serious, "You didn't feel anything in the water?"
The old beggar was stunned for a moment, then used his senses to detect it several times, and finally shook his head.
He really didn't find anything strange under the water.
At this moment, a white light suddenly flashed, and all three animals on the boat disappeared, which also made the crowd completely crazy.
The river god appeared.
This time, no matter how Fang Xiu and the Caobang gang tried to maintain order, no one listened to them.
From time to time, there will be people who push up a carp and jump directly into the water, shouting: "River God bless you."
Because of this, Liang Du was even more afraid to take action at this time.
You must know that if he wants to attack in the water, it will be an indiscriminate group attack. One by one of these common people, no one will be spared.
"Fang Xiu, drive the boat and give chase quickly."
After Fang Xiu heard Liang Du's order, he immediately asked his gang to drive the boat and rush directly into the water.
There are so many people talking now. In order to ensure that his identity is not exposed, Liang Du cannot take the initiative for the time being.
Who knows if there is an informant from the Yin Division here? You know, even the Guigang Swordsman can take refuge in the Yin Division, what else is impossible?
After a while, Fang Xiu came back with the Caobang gang with an ugly face. Liang Du immediately knew that he had lost track of him.
This is Fang Xiu, a descendant of Xiangmen who is in the realm of Night Traveler. He has even lost track of him. It is conceivable how powerful this thing's concealment ability is. It is simply outrageous.
Liang Du gave Fang Xiu another look. The old beggar also heard Liang Du's message, nodded slightly, and watched the crowd continue to make noise.
The carnival lasted until the sun was almost setting.
Now the curfew time in Yongcheng has been advanced again, and they have to return to the city before the sun sets.
When the blood moon rose into the sky, the ferry was quiet.
A small boat floats on the Yong River.
In an old pot, the red soup was boiling. The old beggar raised his knife and dropped the fish fillets, as thin as cicada wings, onto the plate.
Liang Du picked up the fish fillet, put it in the soup pot for three seconds, dipped it in the dipping sauce, and put it in his mouth with a satisfied look on his face.
"One of the great pleasures in life is three meals a day. I still need to work hard."
Fang Xiu kept using his chopsticks and enjoyed eating.
After hearing Liang Du's words, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Aren’t we just eating three meals a day now? Why did Liang Du say that?
The old beggar was also a little confused.
These two idiots.
Liang Du couldn't help but be speechless. This day is not the other day. When can he find his other half who lives happily every year?
Now, I am so powerful that women cannot affect the speed at which I draw my sword.
Liang Du felt melancholy and ate a few more pieces of fish to comfort himself.
"Okay, it's time to get down to business. Remember, don't do anything heavy-handed when you find that thing later."
"good."
The reason why Liang Du said this was actually because he remembered the familiar aura on the so-called River God.
Incense.
In other words, merit!
This is the reason why Liang Du didn't let Fang Xiu and the others take heavy action.
Seeing today's situation, he had to guess whether this thing really received the people's sacrifices and generated merit.
Du Zhishan has said before that there is no essential difference between evil spirits and gods. The difference lies in whether they accept human incense and become gods through merit.
"Walk."
Fang Xiu was the one who punted the boat. He had been in Caobang for so many years and driving the boat was a special skill. With him here, Liang Du naturally didn't have to do anything.
The speed of the boat was very fast, but as time passed, the faces of Liang Du and the others became increasingly ugly.
Because they did not sense any aura, Liang Du harvested several wandering souls on the Yong River.
However, he did not sense the so-called aura of the River God today.
By the time it was almost dawn, they had explored almost half of the Yongjiang River and passed several cities, but still found nothing.
Seeing this, they had no choice but to return.
During the day, boats are coming and going on the Yongjiang River, which is really not the time to look for traces of the river god.
After returning to Yongcheng Ferry, the three of them went directly to the Chenghuang Temple after getting off the boat.
Du Zhishan frowned after listening to the three people's stories.
Since the sudden change in the world, the situation in Yong City has become more and more complicated.
In all these years, he had never heard of any river god.
Although people occasionally say a few words verbally, most of them come to the City God Temple when they encounter petitions to worship gods.
Occasionally, there will be wealthy people from the countryside who go to Faquan Temple on the mountain, but most of them focus on the City God Temple.
"Liang Du, are you sure you feel the breath of merit?"
Liang Du nodded, "Yes, and I also saw the sunken ship. The whole ship turned over. Under the water pressure, the boatman should not be able to escape."
However, according to the surviving boatman, they were rescued by the river god.
During the sacrifice held yesterday, we also saw something eating three animals and bringing with it the aura of incense and merit.
Coupled with the crowd around me, I didn't take action at the time and thought of looking for it again at night.
But I didn’t expect that I worked all night last night and got nothing.”
Du Zhishan nodded, he already understood the situation, but since this river god seemed harmless for the time being, he should ignore him for the time being.
When Liang Du heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned. Then Du Zhishan spoke, and he understood Du Zhishan's thoughts.
The special envoy of the Great Xia Dynasty has arrived at Yongning Mansion, and many experts have come.
Du Zhishan secretly stretched out five fingers.
The meaning is very simple.
This vision of heaven and earth in Yong City made the Xia Dynasty even more interested, and this time they sent a total of five envoys.
I'm afraid that the general war configuration is nothing more than this.
However, in this way, Liang Du also understood that the battle in the secret place would probably be a big event.
The more experts there are, the more urgent the situation becomes.
