No one thought that a simple sacrifice to the gods could actually invite the legendary God of Thunder in the sky. No, it should not be the God of Thunder, but a thunder general under the command of the God of Thunder.
But no matter how you say it, the person invited is a god.
This made the ignorant villagers of Dahu Village turn pale with fright, lying on the ground shivering, and even stopped reciting the Shunliu prayer before.
Everyone seemed to be in a daze and didn't know what to do at this time.
Even the old village chief was trembling and kneeling on the ground, sweating all over his body. He didn't know whether it was nervousness or fear.
Li Xiuyuan understands this phenomenon among the villagers of Dahu Village. After all, they are ordinary villagers with little knowledge and limited experience. It is normal to be scared, nervous and at a loss when encountering such situations.
"I am the thunder general in the sky. How could you have been wronged? Please tell me quickly. I will definitely uphold justice for you." The loud voice in the clouds continued to sound.
The villagers were frightened at this moment, and the old village chief also looked at Li Xiuyuan secretly.
None of them dared to talk to each other, and they felt that they were not qualified. Only Li Xiuyuan, Mr. Li, who invited the Thunder God here, was qualified to talk to the Thunder God in the sky.
"It was blocked by the clouds and couldn't see clearly." Li Xiuyuan looked closely at the clouds, hoping to see the true form of the thunder general.
But it was blocked by the clouds. Even if his eyes could see through all illusions, if his vision was blocked, he couldn't see clearly what was hidden in the clouds. Just like he couldn't see the people behind the wall, he could only hear.
sound.
"Maybe he really is a thunder general under the command of the God of Thunder in the sky. Maybe I am too worried."
He thought secretly in his heart, but still felt something was wrong.
How can a god appear and hide in the clouds without appearing?
Immediately he said: "Thunder General in the sky, I am Li Xiuyuan from Guobei County. I just burned incense and prayed, burned sacrificial inscriptions, and invited Thunder General. I only hope that Thunder General can do justice for heaven and help the villagers of Dahu Village to kill the big lake in front of them."
Among them, the water demon who has done many evil things will give the villagers of Dahu Village peace."
"I already know about the rebellion caused by the Great Lake Water Demon, but the sacrifices from your Great Lake Village are not enough and your sincerity is not enough. I cannot eliminate the demon for you today." The voice in the clouds continued to sound.
Not enough sacrifices, not enough sincerity?
Li Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment. Not only him, but also all the villagers in Dahu Village froze.
You must know that the poor villagers of Dahu Village have already given out all the sacrifices they can afford, and there is really nothing they can do. This water monster has been causing trouble for several years, and they have lost the source of fish from Dahu Village. These villagers are living day by day.
He is becoming poorer every day.
At this time, the old village chief could only look at Li Xiuyuan helplessly, hoping that he could think of a way.
Li Xiuyuan also learned about the situation in Dahu Village before and knew that Dahu Village's financial resources were limited.
"Thunder General in the sky, the villagers of Dahu Village are poor and cannot afford extra sacrifices. If Lei General is willing to kill this water demon, I can replace the villagers of Xiahe Village to build a temple for Lei General.
The incense continues." Li Xiuyuan said.
"How can a temple be enough? I am a thunder general in the sky. If I kill demons and only get a temple, wouldn't it make the gods laugh? You need to know that when you invite people to do things in the mortal world, you also need to feed them, not to mention the people you invite.
God." The voice of the thunder general in the clouds continued to sound.
Li Xiuyuan frowned.
The words of Lei Jiang among the clouds were extremely vulgar and full of philistine spirit. Was this said by humans or by gods?
"I wonder how General Lei would be willing to help the villagers of Dahu Village get rid of the evil spirits." Li Xiuyuan asked again.
The thunder general in the clouds said: "I need a thousand sheep, a thousand cattle, and a thousand pigs to be thrown into the lake to worship the god, plus ten temples, with constant incense every day. If it can be done, this god will
I will kill this monster for you right away. If I can't do it, I will leave and no longer care about the water monster in the Great Lake."
"This, so many sacrifices?" When Old Man Luo heard this, his eyelids twitched and he almost fainted.
Not to mention a thousand cattle and sheep, even ten pigs cannot be brought out.
Besides, with such a rich family background, the villagers of Dahu have already gone out to make a living, so how can they cling to this small village?
"Also, please ask the God of Thunder in the sky to reduce the number of sacrifices. The village is poor and cannot afford so many sacrifices." Old Man Luo supported his shaky body. He didn't know where he got the courage to kneel down.
He kowtowed heavily on the ground and begged.
The voice of the thunder general in the clouds sounded again: "Don't you still have a hundred thousand taels of silver in your village? This is almost enough to make sacrifices."
One hundred thousand taels~!
Hearing this, all the guards of the Li family were stunned.
General Lei actually knew about this.
Immediately, Tieshan and others all looked at Li Xiuyuan.
"Okay, I promise you, after slaying the Great Lake Water Demon, a thousand pigs, sheep, cattle, and ten temples will be sacrificed to the God of Thunder in the sky." Li Xiuyuan said immediately.
One hundred thousand taels of silver bought the water demon's life and saved a village. This business was not a loss.
"You are a scholar and you keep your word. I believe in you." The voice of the thunder general in the clouds returned and agreed to Li Xiuyuan's request.
"Boom~!"
At this time, the clouds split, and a bolt of thunder fell from the clouds, instantly piercing the sky and falling into the large lake in front of them.
"Crash..." A stormy wave exploded on the calm lake surface, and the waves splashed up to a height of five or six feet, as if a bomb had been dropped into the lake.
Several timid villagers from Dahu Village were so frightened that they fainted immediately.
Even though the Li family's guards were more courageous, their hands and feet felt weak during such a scene and it was difficult to control themselves.
But Li Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment. He saw that after the clouds split, what was hiding in the clouds was not the God of Thunder at all, but the shadow of a black fish.
Yes, the shadow of a black fish.
The black fish opened its mouth and spat out a ray of light, which landed on the lake water. Just then it exploded into a huge wave. It was not a thunder at all, but a deceptive illusion.
"Could it be that...the gods were not invited at all, but the water demon Yinshen from Dahu Village came out of his body, pretended to be a god, and deceived everyone." Li Xiuyuan suddenly realized this.
Only then did he understand why the black fish had been hiding in the clouds and refused to show up, and why the black fish demon needed more sacrifices and asked for three thousand pigs, cattle and sheep.
Emotions are not meant as sacrifices to the God of Thunder, but as food for oneself.
The black fish demon was injured and needed food supplies urgently, so he made such a condition.
Its purpose is to plan the one hundred thousand taels of silver that Li Xiuyuan brought, and use the financial resources of this one hundred thousand taels of silver to support himself.
As soon as he thought about this, Li Xiuyuan immediately thought clearly.
After the huge splash of water exploded on the lake, it quickly calmed down again.
At this time, the water surface rolled, and various fish and shrimps were killed and surfaced. In the center of the waves, a huge black fish floated on the surface of the water with its belly swollen, motionless.
"Dead, dead, that black fish demon is dead." Some villagers exclaimed when they saw this scene.
"He's really dead. That monster is dead. That's great."
"Finally dead, my son's revenge is finally avenged, woo woo."
The villagers of Dahu Village were excited, happy and shed tears.
The water monster that had been harming Dahu Village for several years and killed more than 20 people was finally dead.
"The water demon is not dead at all. It is pretending to be dead to cooperate with its own evil spirit."
Li Xiuyuan saw that although the black fish demon was floating on the water with its belly turned upside down, it actually had no injuries at all.
If it was struck to death by lightning, it would definitely not be so intact, and a charred corpse would definitely be left behind.
"What a water monster. Not only is he wise, but he is also very smart. He is even smarter than humans. He can use this method of substituting things for others. However, if you dare to leave your body and pretend to be a ghost, you just happened to hit my hand.
I'm still thinking about how to deal with you." Li Xiuyuan's face suddenly turned cold.
He immediately turned around and walked a few steps to the side, grabbing the golden goose bow and wolf fang arrows from the guard's hands.
With a click of his finger, a wisp of blood stained the wolf-fang arrow.
"Wha~!"
Without much thought, he raised his hand and shot an arrow.
