Chapter 142 Xunjiang Water God
Qi Jingzhi also stood up, walked to the riverside, and looked towards the west of the river.

I saw a wave that was almost at the same level as the river bank rushing towards it at a very high speed. When the originally hazy and turbid river surged up to the top of the wave, it had turned into a snow-white frost.

Between the waves, there was a tall man with a shirtless body, and his long yellow and black hair rose high with the wind and waves.

When Qi Jingzhi saw the other party, the man also cast his eyes on the crowd on the bank, and almost instantly locked onto the silver-armored, red-faced figure by the river.

The man immediately roared, and his body rushed out of the waves, skimming across the river like flying, and rushed towards Qi Jingzhi.

Countless exclamations suddenly sounded from the crowd on the shore, and the sound was so loud that it suppressed the sound of the waves on the river.

It was because the man from the waist down looked like an animal body with four claws stepping on the water and covered with yellow scales.

For these villagers who grew up on the banks of the Xunjiang River, it is one thing to go to the Jiangshen Temple to offer incense and worship the gods, but it is another thing to see the Xunjiang water god coming on the waves.

Seeing the turbulent waves churning on the Xunjiang River, and the half-human, half-beast Jiangshen approaching aggressively, the villagers on the shore couldn't help showing horror and fear, and couldn't help but retreat in unison.

After just a dozen or so breaths, the Xunjiang Water God had already rushed forward, with long yellow and black hair dancing wildly on his head, and there was not even a single expression on his face.

He didn't go ashore, but stomped heavily on the river water with his four pitch-black sharp claws that looked like cast iron, and stopped his body suddenly.

In an instant, the river in front of Qi Jingzhi exploded with a bang, and the waves splashed three or four feet high, and it was about to turn into a downpour, falling head-on and face-on to the people on the bank.

As soon as this Xunjiangshui priest arrived at the scene, he was the first to steal the show, and wanted to give the young swordsman in front of him a blow!

Seeing this, Qi Jingzhi's heart shuddered, and a bright glow immediately appeared on his body.

Without thinking, he grabbed at his chest and tore off the smoky feather coat that had just emerged, then raised his hand and shook it, turning it into a brilliant long cloth of aura again.

The spirit cloth, which was as thin as a gauze, was stretched as far as possible, not only protecting the tops of the three people on the shore, but also covering the doctors and wounded beside them.

It was too late and then it was too fast, the pouring water of the river had already hit the long cloth of haze.

Everyone felt that they were in a dilapidated house with air leaks on all sides. It was raining heavily outside the house, and the damp and cold water was blowing in with the wind, which made people feel tight and cold all over their bodies.

Fortunately, the dilapidated house is also a house. Although some rainwater inevitably leaked down, it finally withstood the invasion of this torrential rain.

Xunjiang Water God stood expressionlessly in the river beside the bank, raised his eyes and glanced at the hazy long cloth, and immediately fixed his eyes on the red ghost mask on Qi Jingzhi's face.

He was silent for a moment, and then he spoke calmly, with a distant and cold voice: "If it weren't for the wrong breath, I would have thought that the ghosts and gods of the underworld had stretched their hands into my Xunjiang River!"

After saying a word, Xunjiang Water God suddenly stopped, frowned, raised his head and shouted in the air: "Did Yunxiang Yinsi participate in today's matter?"

Accompanied by this questioning, the white waves on the Xun River before finally came belatedly and whizzed past Jiang Shen's back, which made the majesty and majesty of this God even more.

Hearing this, Qi Jingzhi, who had been ignored, felt his heart skip a beat, knowing that his spirit mask still aroused the other party's suspicion after all.

He reached out and retracted the hazy long cloth that was almost pressed to the top of his head by the river water, so that he had time to carefully look at the Xunjiang Water God in front of him.

This god is extremely tall, handsome, and has sharp tendons.

What fluttered in the wind on his head was not long hair, but strange yellow-black tentacles as thick as chopsticks.

As Jiang Shen stopped walking along the river, these tentacles gradually changed from floating behind his head to vertically upward, swaggering in the air like water plants.

As for the animal body with yellow scales and black claws on his lower body, it is quite burly and majestic, but it is a pity that Qi Jingzhi's knowledge is limited, and he really does not know what kind of strange animal body it is.

Just looking at it like this, a voice in the air not far away replied respectfully: "Xun Hou Mingjian, my uncle will never dare to violate the ancestral system of Daqi and the strict order of the lord, and intervene in the affairs of the world without authorization."

The voice paused, and then added: "There has never been an order from the county town god."

"Hmph! It sounds good, do you still have little meddling? Qu'ahou Lake has not yet finished opening, but the mountain next to it has been taken into the pocket of your city god first! If it weren't for the jade milk spring that is now surrounded by lake water, among them It's really hard to say where the water spirit energy belongs!"

Xunjiang Water God sneered, but his brows were already relaxed.

His eyes paused for a while on Otter, and then turned to the golden-eyed water slug lying on the ground not far away.

"What a waste snack!"

Xunjiang Water God cursed in a low voice, stretched out his hand to grab the golden-eyed water squirrel, and immediately captured it.

He grabbed the neck of this servant of God, looked up and down carefully for a moment, and a look of shock and anger appeared on his face.

Then, the Xunjiang water god suddenly turned his head to look at Qi Jingzhi, with a grim smile on his face, his fangs gleaming coldly: "The magic academy in Linzhou town is so majestic, that I came to Xunjiang from a thousand miles away to teach me a lesson. Here come the house slaves!"

"What? Now that the Marquis has personally come to accept the crime, is this lord unwilling to even show his face?"

As soon as these words came out, the audience was silent, except for Yu Jiang's wind, as if a heavy rain was coming.

Qi Jingzhi stood with his head held high by the river, only to feel a huge coercion rushing towards his head, and in a trance, it turned into a strange yellow-black wind, which slammed into the red ghost's mask fiercely.

The small world in the spirit mask suddenly changed color, the hazy red color was shrouded by yellow and black demon winds, and one mountain and three peaks shook together.

At the next moment, the figures of many young men in Xianyu Mountain, who had just subdued the tiger with a single blow, or who were swinging their blades to surpass the silver minion, paused in unison, and then turned around at the same time, or stretched their fists, or held their weapons, as if they were all angry. The red-winged cranes bravely pounced against the strange wind blowing from outside the mountain.

At the same time, a cry of angry cranes reached the sky and spread widely.

In the eyes of everyone outside, the red ghost mask of the young swordsman suddenly turned yellow and black, like rain clouds covering the sun.

However, in an instant, a touch of red appeared in the dark and thick layer of yellow-black rain clouds, and then the red color spread even more quickly, turning a large number of rain clouds into pieces like Danzhu. Tong Yun.

At the end, it seems that there is a big red sun emerging from the clouds, and the sun is rising, and its light shines through all the haze!
The scarlet ghost's mask is completely reminiscent of the old days, with ferocious eyebrows and bright red light.

"Ok?"

Seeing this, Xunjiang Water God finally looked squarely at the young swordsman in front of him who was clearly only in the second realm and hadn't even manifested his mind.

In his opinion, no matter whether it is the extremely sublime kung fu practiced or the weirdness of the red ghost mask, it can dispel a ray of coercion from the third-level gods in such a short period of time. This man who claims to be from Linzhou The juvenile swordsmen of Zhenmoyuan must be extremely extraordinary.

So, Xunjiang Water God restrained his smile and looked Qi Jing up and down carefully.

He was about to speak, but was preempted by the young swordsman in front of him.

Immediately, the god on the river and everyone on the bank heard Qi Jingzhi's calm and dignified voice: "Dare to ask the god, where does this Xunjiang water god come from?"

When Jiang Shen heard the words, he immediately raised his eyebrows, and anger appeared on his face: "What do you want to say when you ask this question?"

Qi Jingzhi smiled brightly, and pointed at the silent villagers behind him: "These people are living on both sides of the Xunjiang River, drinking the water from the Xunjiang River, eating the fish from the Xunjiang River, and some relatives were buried in the river, or turned into fish and turtles. They may have become the water ghost Jiang Yu under the rule of Jiang Shen. These people respect and fear the gods, and they set up temples to worship and burn incense."

"Now in front of them, I dare to ask again, where does the honorable title of Marquis Xun come from?"

Xunjiang Water God followed the young swordsman's finger and glanced at the crowd, his eyes exuded a faint power, which scared the villagers back again.The people standing in the front row had no choice but to retreat, and many of them immediately softened their knees and knelt on the ground.

The Jiang God, who controls the lives of countless people on both sides of the Xunjiang River, and even life and death, withdrew his gaze, and said in a deep voice: "This river god, my lord, is naturally favored by Xunjiang, who gave birth to the spirit body, favored by the lord of the country, and sealed by the golden book! As for you The people referred to..."

His tone turned indifferent: "This Marquis is born with natural cultivation and self-cultivation. The incense of the common people is insignificant, but it is just icing on the cake."

Hearing this, Qi Jingzhi knew that although this Xunjiang water god was rebellious, under the eyes of everyone, there was especially a ghost of the Yin Division, a lake guard of Qu'ahou Lake, and him, the so-called visitor of Linzhou Town Demon Academy. On the side, the other party did not dare to disrespect the King of Qi.

The young man felt relieved, and nodded immediately, his tone still solemn and solemn: "Although it is icing on the cake, those incense offerings are after all the sincere respect of the people!"

"Since the god has accepted it, he should take good care of the people on both sides of the river. Why do you allow the servant of the god to be a disaster and not allow the people to fish in the river near Qu'a town?"

Hearing this, Xunjiang Water God immediately frowned.

Although the opening of the lake a few years ago was beneficial to the strengthening of the Xunjiang River in the long run, in the short term, the water of the Xunjiang River will inevitably fill the newly developed land of Qu'ahou Lake, which should belong to the Water Palace. The honor of the lake god was taken away by the imperial court again, and as a near-separatist party god, the Xunjiang water god naturally clung to this point and won a lot of benefits for himself.

As for the fact that He sent the golden-eyed water scorpion to guard the mouth of the lake to ban fishing in Qu'a Town, neither the Xunjiang Water Mansion nor the human officials of Xunyang County actually regarded it as a big deal.The left and right are just a trivial addition. How can it be worth the distraction of the big shots to ruin the big event of opening the lake and dividing the water?

It's just that, after all, this is not a document contract signed by both parties in black and white. In fact, no matter whether it is legal or reasonable, the Xunjiang Water God who has accepted the king's golden book and enjoyed the incense and offerings of the people is actually unreasonable.Now that this matter has been brought up on the stage, and there are so many eyes staring at it, it's really hard to refute it directly.

Although the water god of Xunjiang is rebellious, he is not stupid, so he naturally does not want to be a rafter in his early years and attract extra attention from the court.

He immediately ignored Qi Jingzhi's question, and asked back: "What is your surname, and what is your position in the Linzhou Town Demon Academy? This god is a marquis who was conferred by the lord of the country. You just saw me, and you are not polite. [-]. Don’t say hello, the Marquis has never questioned you, but you questioned me first, is this the rules of the Zhenmoyuan?”

Since he couldn't avoid the fact that the position of god was conferred by the ruler of the country, Xunjiang Water God simply put up the airs of Lord Hou and came to suppress others with power.

Hearing this, before Qi Jingzhi could reply, Wei Yingdian who was standing behind him suddenly took two steps forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with the young man.

With a smile on his face, he sang deeply to Xunjiang Water God: "Your Majesty, Wei Yingdian, the doctor of the Ministry of Rites, is so polite!"

Hearing Wei Yingdian's official position, Xunjiang Water God was stunned, immediately threw Qi Jingzhi aside, glared at Wei Yingdian and said with hatred: "This Marquis has never been short of yearly respects to the Ministry of Rites every year! My water palace hall is just an extra. A few pillars and two extra doors were just opened, why do you insist on such a trivial matter, and send someone to find out the fault of this Marquis?"

Fortunately, this Jiangshen was angry and had a sense of propriety. He only spoke out and asked questions, but did not attack Wei Yingdian.

Wei Yingdian straightened up, with a wider smile on his face, he quickly shook his head and said, "What did you say! Xunjiang Water Mansion has always had a good reputation in the Ministry of Rites! Regardless of the water mansion's palace, I have heard about it. The Jiangshen Temple outside, which was newly completed a few years ago, was built according to the rules, and the standing beast on the eaves was only one more than the Marquis's regulations!"

"There are few water gods who are as humble and respectful as Lord Hou! You can't find many in the whole world! The officials talked about this matter with their colleagues, and they are full of praise!"

Hearing what he said, Mr. Otter, the lake guard, couldn't help but look weird, and it took a lot of effort for Qi Jingzhi not to look at this man whom he had just introduced as a fellow Taoist.

On the other side, Xunjiang Water God's face immediately softened, and he was [-]% convinced of Wei Yingdian's identity. After all, except for those guys in the Ministry of Rites who are full and have nothing to do, who would stare at the eaves of other people's houses every day?

As for the newly built shrine outside the city of Xunyang County, it was naturally one of the rewards that Xunjiang Water God promised to open the lake.

At the beginning, the two sides argued for a long time, but when it came time, the former governor of Xunyang County backed down a step and secretly agreed to those few innocuous little overreaches. ridiculed for decades.

Being interrupted by Wei Yingdian, Xunjiang Water God's prestige deliberately weakened before he knew it, and he couldn't help asking: "Then why did Langzhong Wei come here?"

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the lake guard who had been silent all along, and asked suspiciously: "The old county guard is in good health, and there are still many years before the temple is built and returned to his throne, right?"

Mr. Otter immediately bowed and replied: "Of course the old governor is healthy! Regarding the site selection of the lake temple, the Ministry of Rites sent people to look at it last year. I think this year the king will first set the regulations and give the blueprints to the The counties and counties are slowly preparing for the construction, and when the old county guard ascends to the gods in the future, he can directly welcome the dharmakaya into the temple and be enthroned."

Xunjiang Water God nodded slightly, then turned to look at Wei Yingdian.

The doctor of the Ministry of Rites, who had just "reinstated his official position" on his own, gave another salute in a calm manner: "Master Hou, the ancestral home of this official is Xunyang County, and this trip to Beijing is due to a foreign mission from the Ministry of Rites , just happened to go back to the hometown to worship the ancestors.

His expression suddenly became very dignified, he pointed at the river, and said solemnly: "A year ago, the Ministry of Rites cleaned up the old volumes, and suddenly found an old file of the Chenyuan, saying that there is a shovel under the Dao Xun River. Jiao Town Monument!"

Speaking of this, Wei Yingdian's expression became more and more worried: "It doesn't matter if you look through the old files. The Zhensha stele set up by Gouchen Yuan is more than 500 years ago. During this period, neither Gouchen Yuan nor the Ministry of Rites has ever sent anyone to repair it. ! If monsters like Elf Elephants take advantage of the situation and enter, I'm afraid there will be unforeseen disasters!"

"At that time, Lord Hou will be questioned by the king, and it will be fine if he eats something, but once he is turned into a climate by that dragon and shakes Lord Hou's divine power, it will be extremely bad!"

Hearing this, Qi Jingzhi finally couldn't help turning his head to look at Wei Yingdian, and secretly exclaimed in his heart: "This old man is really a fucking character!"
