The family of three devoured white flour steamed buns and drank hot water.
Although the scene was a bit embarrassing, it was very warm.
After eating and drinking, the lean man told the whole story.
The lean man's name is Liu Dafu, nicknamed Buffalo. He grew up by the Changling River and his urine has been surprisingly watery since he was a child.
I usually make a living by fishing, and my family still has two acres of fertile farmland. Although I am not very wealthy, my life is not bad.
Just five days ago.
He went down to the river to fish as usual, and saw a floating corpse not far away.
I originally wanted to do a good deed out of kindness, fish out the floating corpse, and let it rest in the ground.
Later, I saw that the clothes on the floating corpse were of good quality, and although the jewelry he wore was a bit weird, it was probably worth a few dollars.
The buffalo thought that it would be a pity to bury this thing in the ground if it was brought alive or dead, so it took some thought and took off all the clothes and jewelry from the floating corpse.
The clothes were washed and cut by my wife, and a new dress was made for the child.
Except for the black stone bracelet on his hand, he took all the other jewelry to a pawn shop in the town and sold it.
Later, he felt that his body was getting weaker and weaker, and finally he fell into a coma completely.
Jiang Chen and others already knew what happened next.
"Floating corpse?"
"Floating corpses on the Changling River?"
"I seem to have heard about this matter. It is said that corpses have been floating on the Changling River recently. The governor of Jialing County sent people to search for the source, but found nothing."
"These floating corpses seem to appear out of thin air. No one knows where they came from."
"However, most of these floating corpses were intercepted by Jiang Cheng's corpse-retrieving team, then saved by the monks of Baoxiang Temple, and finally cremated on the spot."
"It seems that some fish that slipped through the net came down the river and came near our Flower City, and they were met by you."
"The floating corpse is unknown. If you encounter it in the future, you must stay away from it, and you must inform the neighbors and villagers about it. Don't lose your life in vain just for a small profit."
"If you find anyone in your situation, you can tell them to come to Chunyang Taoist Temple for treatment in time."
Jiang Chen said seriously.
"I know Taoist Master!"
"Thank you, Taoist Master, for saving your life!"
"My great kindness and virtue, I will remember it in my heart!"
"Gouwazi, hurry up and kowtow to the Taoist Priest!"
Liu Dafu took his wife and children and kowtowed to Jiang Chen several times.
"No need to be polite, these are what I should do!"
"Please get up quickly!"
Upon seeing this, Jiang Chen quickly pulled them up.
After sending away the family of three, Jiang Chen fell into deep thought.
Are the floating corpses on the Changling River related to the wandering dragons?
Isn't this dragon that walks a dragon a demonic dragon?
The demons have their own way of practice, which is called the devil's way.
Humans, monsters and other races can also practice and become demonic monks.
However, once they become possessed, it is difficult to reverse. What awaits them is either being killed, or endless killing, which will not end until the moment of complete death.
Therefore, generally speaking, even if human monks practice heretical ways, they rarely come into contact with demonic ways.
To cultivate demons in the human body is to take the path of death!
Demons who practice evil ways and become more violent are destined to cause endless bloodshed!
If the dragon walking around this time is really a demonic dragon, then when he completes the walking and turns into a demonic dragon, he is destined to be a master who is not afraid of heaven and earth!
However, this is just a speculation in Jiang Chen's own mind. After all, it is still unclear whether this floating corpse has anything to do with his main mission this time: Walking the Dragon!
After Liu Dafu's family of three left, several more cases of people infected by demonic energy appeared in Huacheng and their lives were hanging by a thread, but most of these people were treated.
But a small number of people died.
Jiang Chen and others have reported this matter to the Huacheng Yamen. Recently, the Yamen issued an announcement that the floating corpses on the Changling River are cursed and should not be offended. If you encounter them, report them to the government immediately.
Anyone who picks things off the floating corpse should immediately send the things to several Taoist temples in Huacheng, where a Taoist master can cast a spell to break the curse, so that his own life can be saved.
A few days later, an earth-shattering event happened in the entire Jialing County!
The Changling River, the largest river in the Zhou Dynasty, actually stopped flowing!
It is not that the entire river basin is completely cut off, but that a section of Jialing County is cut off.
And this section happens to cross Huacheng, Jiangcheng and Mountain City.
The area where the flow has stopped is gloomy and gloomy. All the fish and shrimps in the river are rotten and emit a foul smell. Some people can even hear the roar of dragons at night.
Some people say that this place was originally the Juelong Ridge. A true dragon fell here countless years ago. This broken part of the Changling River is actually a section of the true dragon's body.
Now that the true dragon's wronged soul has awakened, there may be a catastrophe in the entire Jialing County.
The governor of Jialing County, Wang Jinglue, issued a recruitment order overnight and sent the recruitment documents to the well-known cultivating forces in Jiangcheng, Huacheng and Shancheng.
The Holy Monk Nanwu who presides over Nanwu Temple has lived in seclusion for many years. Unless something earth-shaking happens in Jialing County, he will not take action easily.
However, in the face of the Jialing County Sheriff's request for help, they did not remain indifferent. Instead, they sent Xuan Xin, a close disciple of Namo Saint Monk, a young visualization monk to come.
In addition, many Buddhist temples and cultivating forces within the three cities have more or less sent people to Jiangcheng to wait for the governor's orders.
The Four Avenues Temple in Huacheng also received a handwritten letter from Wang Jinglue.
Chunyang Taoist Temple.
Jiang Chen held a letter written by Wang Jinglue, the governor of Jialing County, and browsed it briefly before speaking.
"Wang Jinglue, the governor of Jialing County, wrote a personal letter, inviting me to go to Jiangcheng to discuss the matter of cutting off the flow of the Changling River."
"Since we want to take root in Jialing County, we must deal with him. If we don't go this time, then if we need to use him for anything in the future, I'm afraid he won't look good on us."
"Furthermore, monks like us should take it as our duty to be chivalrous and righteous. Now that the Changling River is cut off, it has directly affected the three largest cities in Jialing County, and also indirectly affected us in Huacheng."
"So I have to go there for both business and personal reasons!"
The word "immortal" means that people are in front of the mountains!
In other words, a practitioner is still a human being before he reaches the peak. Since he is a human being, he cannot avoid dealing with others.
If you want to completely cut off the world of mortals, you must at least know a great monk in the Free Realm like Namo Saint Monk.
Even if you have majored in the visualization realm, you will inevitably struggle in the world of mortals, not to mention Jiang Chen and others who have not yet entered the visualization realm!
"Junior Brother Chunyang, the cutoff of the Yangtze River involves not only the demons but also the real dragons. No matter which party it is, it is not easy to provoke. Why don't you let me go there for you?"
After Jiang Li heard the words, he spoke.
"Taoist temples are inseparable from people, and Wang Jinglue asked me to go there by name. Senior brother must still be staying in the Taoist temple!"
"I may not be as proficient as my senior brother in Taoism, but I am a dual practitioner of martial arts, and my defensive ability is still very strong. Even if I encounter some emergency situations, even if I can't defeat them, at least I can escape!"
"Besides, I'm not the only one investigating the Changling River cutoff incident this time. I think Chongxu, Baimei, and Yuheng should also have been notified."
"Furthermore, senior brother, please don't forget that there is also a Nanmo Temple in Jialing County. After such a big thing happened, I don't believe that Nanmo Temple will remain indifferent."
"If there's danger, the taller one will get on top first. I guess it won't be my turn to take action then!"
Jiang Chen tried to persuade him.
"Well, junior brother, you must be extremely careful."
