Sitting on Taxue Wuzui, Wang Liangyu looked at the undulating water in the distance, with a happy face, and couldn't help but say: "This is?!"
"Back to you, sir, this is the river of Sidu!" Lu Qi stopped the carriage with a solemn expression, looking worried.
Wang Liangyu didn't pay attention to Lu Qi's expression. He grabbed the horse's belly and galloped towards the river.
When Lu Qi saw this, he shouted repeatedly, with an anxious look on his face: "Sir, the river is dangerous, don't go near it!"
Wang Liangyu, who was running wildly on his horse, when he heard this, he pulled the reins suddenly, his front hooves were flying in the snow, he stood up, and barely stopped his pace. The excitement of seeing the Yangtze River suddenly disappeared, leaving only worry.<
/p>
In this era, there are always dangers in the wild, especially in the inaccessible mountains and old forests. No one knows what monsters and monsters are hidden inside.
Although the Yangtze River is not deep in the mountains and old forests, as one of the four rivers, the myths and legends on the Yangtze River that stretch for thousands of miles are longer and more mysterious.
Likewise, more dangerous.
Therefore, as soon as he heard Lu Qi's shout, Wang Liangyu stopped subconsciously.
Returning to the convoy, Wang Liangyu looked at Lu Qi and asked, "What's the danger?"
"I heard from nearby villagers that there is a water monster making trouble in the river, and it has killed many people!" Lu Qi lowered his voice and told the news that his men had just found out from nearby.
"What should we do?" Wang Liangyu frowned and asked urgently.
Lu Qi grimaced, unable to do anything.
"You don't have to worry, there is a ferry ahead for us to cross the river." Yu Xin concentrated on writing and did not hear the conversation between Wang Liangyu and Lu Qi. Seeing everyone suddenly stopped, he looked around curiously and pointed ahead.
Tao.
Lu Qi cupped his hands towards Yu Xin and explained: "Senior Yu doesn't know something. There is a water monster in the river causing trouble, and the ferry has been closed a long time ago."
"How could this be so?" Yu Xin's expression suddenly changed, he put down the letter, stood up, looked at the vast river in the distance, and asked puzzledly, "The river has the river god, and the river has the river god. How can we tolerate the water monsters here?" Lu Qi shook his head, expressing his ignorance, and then added: "The villagers by the river are about to offer sacrifices to the River God and pray for blessings."
"Who is this River God?" Wang Liangyu interrupted and asked.
As a novelist, Yu Xin knew the myths and legends of various places very well. Before Lu Qi could speak, he answered first: "There is a god named Tian Wu, with eight human faces, a tiger body and ten tails. He is Shui Bo.
Wu people regard him as the god of the river." After a pause, he added: "The river is long, and all countries have sacrifices. Tianwu is just the god of the river in Wu."
"Eight human faces, a tiger body and ten tails, are you sure this is a god and not a monster?" Wang Liangyu asked in disbelief with a look of surprise on his face.
Yu Xin shrugged, with a nonchalant look on his face: "That's what the legend is."
Wang Liangyu curled his lips and did not continue to dwell on the legend. Instead, he asked: "Sacrificing sacrifices to the River God is really useful?"
"Young master, don't talk nonsense!" Lu Qi quickly reminded him.
Yu Xin also looked at Wang Liangyu solemnly and warned: "Improper talk about gods will be punished by heaven!"
Wang Liangyu was stunned and kept silent.
Lu Qi and Yu Xin's expressions of awe and fear made Wang Liangyu realize that his understanding of this era was still not deep enough. I am afraid that this place is not just fantasy, but immortals and gods do not seem far away.
"What should we do now? Wait until the villagers' sacrifices are over?" Wang Liangyu asked again after a while.
Lu Qi pondered for a moment and nodded.
With no choice, Wang Liangyu and his party could only find a nearby town along the river to stay and rest temporarily.
The town is adjacent to the river and is the most prosperous area nearby.
As soon as he entered the town, Wang Liangyu heard the people talking about the water monster in the river.
It is said that the water monster is a dragon that is about to turn into a dragon. It is more than thirty feet long, has four claws as sharp as swords, and is covered in scales like iron armor. It has the ability to control the wind and water, soar into the clouds and spit out mist. It has a cruel and ferocious temperament.
People-loving.
In just one month, dozens of people along the river were devoured by it, and hundreds more fell into the river and drowned because of its troubles.
"What an evil dragon!" Yu Xin was furious when he heard the rumor.
Wang Liangyu also had a look of astonishment on his face, and it took him a while to recover, and looked at Lu Qi: "Is there no one in charge? This is the border of the Wu Kingdom, and the Wu Army doesn't care about it?"
"If you can't control it, you can't control it!" Lu Qi shook his head, with a calm expression, as if he was used to it, "Small towns like this are spread all over Jiuzhou. It's good enough that the Wu army can protect the city. How can they protect these places!"
This world is full of dangers.
Humans have built cities and established armies, using towering city walls and powerful sergeants to protect themselves.
Outside the city, human beings can only seek happiness for themselves.
Wang Liangyu found it hard to accept, but didn’t know what to say.
After staying at the only inn in the town and taking a short rest, Wang Liangyu started shopping.
However, after a while, Wang Liangyu hurried back again.
Ignoring Lu Qi's greeting, Wang Liangyu rushed straight into Yu Xin's room.
Lu Qi's face was full of curiosity and he followed closely.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I heard Yu Xin's exclamation.
"You want to kill that evil dragon?"
When Lu Qi heard this, he left and barged in without caring about anything else.
Wang Liangyu looked back at Lu Qi, then looked at Yu Xin, stared at him, and said through gritted teeth: "Yes, I want to kill that evil dragon, and I need your help!"
"You're crazy, that's a dragon!" Yu Xin looked at Wang Liangyu in shock.
Wang Liangyu looked solemn and said coldly: "They are going to sacrifice living people to the river god!" As he spoke, Wang Liangyu went crazy and shouted, "Living people, three hundred boys and girls!!!"
Yu Xin paused for a moment, then sat down on the chair with a dejected face, silent.
Seeing this, Lu Qi on the side coughed slightly and comforted him: "Sir, this matter has nothing to do with us."
Human sacrifice has a long history. Since the rise of Zhou rites, human sacrifice has been replaced by cattle, sheep, and pigs. However, human sacrifice has been repeatedly banned. Some nobles, including ordinary people, increasingly respect human sacrifice.
Wang Liangyu suddenly turned around and looked at Lu Qi with sharp eyes: "What do you mean it has nothing to do with us? That's three hundred lives, three hundred children less than three years old!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Lu Qi had never seen Wang Liangyu so angry. He opened his mouth to explain, but for a moment he didn't know what to say. In the end, he could only choose to remain silent.
Yu Xin on the other side let out a long sigh, seemingly feeling endless helplessness.
When Wang Liangyu saw this, he became even more dissatisfied. He felt that the two of them were evading and said angrily: "You just don't care about anything that has nothing to do with you. What if there are your children among those three hundred children! Will you just sit back and do nothing?"
?"
Wang Liangyu's moral level may not be very high, and his heart may not be very kind, but he still has the minimum bottom line and conscience.
It's okay if we didn't meet him, but if we did, Wang Liangyu would save these three hundred children no matter what!
Otherwise, Wang Liangyu will not be able to sleep, nor will he sleep peacefully!
Yu Xin pondered for a long time, then raised his head and looked at Wang Liangyu, with a heavy expression on his face: "That evil dragon has great supernatural powers. I'm afraid we can't kill it with our strength!"
Seeing that Yu Xin seemed to be trying to change his mind, Wang Liangyu's face suddenly softened, and he quickly said: "Those are just common people's ignorance and exaggeration, but they are just monsters with successful practices!" After a pause, he talked about the killing of the giant eagle in Kuaiji Mountain.
Full of confidence, "I have a thunder method, which has the power to destroy the heaven and the earth. I will definitely be able to kill that evil dragon!"
Wang Liangyu plans to recreate the method of killing the giant eagle on Kuaiji Mountain, using gunpowder. No matter how powerful the evil dragon is, it will be wiped out!
Gunpowder was of great importance, and Wang Liangyu was not prepared to expose it, so he used thunder to cover up.
Yu Xin looked at Wang Liangyu with some suspicion. Seeing his confident look, Yu Xin asked hesitantly: "What do you need me to do?"
"My thunder method still needs some time to prepare, so I would like to ask senior for help to delay the sacrifice for a few days!"
Preparing gunpowder takes time, but the sacrifice will begin in three days.
When Yu Xin heard this, he understood why Wang Liangyu had come to him. He pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Novelists cultivate the minds of all sentient beings, and naturally they can also influence the minds of all sentient beings.
Of course, it is impossible to control people's hearts, but it is not a problem to slightly disturb some people and postpone the sacrifice for a few days.
After that, Wang Liangyu began to make gunpowder with all his strength.
With his previous experience, Wang Liangyu worked very quickly, and in less than a day, he used up all the raw materials he had collected.
However, the gunpowder produced was not much, only about two or three kilograms.
"This little gunpowder isn't even enough to stuff between your teeth!"
Wang Liangyu was a little depressed. It was obviously impossible to kill the dragon with this little gunpowder.
After racking his brains for a moment, Wang Liangyu silently took out his mobile phone and began to search for information, looking for other ways to break the situation.
Not to mention, Wang Liangyu soon discovered a good thing!
