Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 103 Eight Great Kings

The big waves beat over and wanted to overturn the painting boat.

Li Xiuyuan was shocked when he saw this scene.

Although this is the Dragon King of the Wujiang River, he may be the righteous god who manages the river region, but you must know that there are a lot of scholars on this boat, and the scholars are all people with a certain destiny. Although they may not be very tall, they are definitely not poor people. Comparable.

This is going to knock everyone into the water, the Dragon King of Wujiang is really domineering enough, don't give him any face?

But right now, I don't have time to think about it. At this moment, the painting boat has turned over on the river with a bang, and everyone on board has fallen into the water.

"Help, help."

The scholars suddenly panicked and called for help.

Li Xiuyuan also fell into the water, but he was a martial artist, he reacted very quickly, kicked a board of the boat away immediately after falling into the water, and then jumped out with Xiaodie and Du Chunhua.

Don't worry about anything else, first take care of the people around you.

Li Xiuyuan, who was ready to fall into the water, suddenly found that he had fallen into the river after jumping off the painting boat, but suddenly stepped on a black stone and did not fall into the water.

When was there a reef above the river?
"Whoa~!"

The river swayed, and a head poked out from under the black stone.

"What a big turtle." Li Xiuyuan said in surprise.

Only then did I realize that the rock under my feet was not a stubborn stone in the river, but a tortoise floating on the river. I stepped on the shell of the tortoise, so it didn't fall off.

"It's not a tortoise, it's a turtle." The bastard actually spoke out.

"The turtle has spoken." Xiaodie fainted from fright, but fortunately Li Xiuyuan had quick eyesight and quick hands, and hugged her.

"I've said it all, it's not a turtle, it's a turtle."

Du Chunhua also covered her mouth and was frightened.

Li Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, he didn't seem to find it strange, after all, he had encountered a lot of monsters, black fish spirit, Polygonum multiflorum spirit, Black Mountain Monarch, it's not unacceptable for Wang Bahui to speak now.

Of course, it is quite acceptable for ordinary people to speak this bastard.

"I am the great king of this water area. You can call me the Eight Great Kings. Just now, the Dragon King of Wujiang River was traveling. This water area was blocked, so your painting boat stopped on the river and did not move. I thought I could take you along. After crossing the Dragon King of Wujiang River, I never thought that the Dragon King of Wujiang River was still so narrow-minded, he would overturn your boat and let you fall into the water after swimming past." The Eight Great Kings sighed.

"If I knew it earlier, I should have waited for this domineering Dragon King to pass first."

"It turned out to be like this. It seems that we were impatient. Thank you Eight Great Kings for your rescue this time. Otherwise, all of us will fall into the river. I'm afraid we will feed the fish in the river." Li Xiuyuan said Thank you for a salute.

The Eight Great Kings said: "I read your manuscript, and there is purple energy on it. You must be an extraordinary nobleman. A nobleman like you should not be thrown into the water by the Dragon King of Wujiang River. That's why I showed up to save you. I don't know what happened today. Will this move cause the Dragon King of Wujiang to retaliate? If I encounter retaliation at that time, please don't forget today's kindness."

"Please don't worry about this. If the Dragon King of Wujiang really comes to take revenge on you, you can come and find me, and I will protect you well." Li Xiuyuan said.

"You are a man of integrity, I believe in you, now I will take you across the river." Eight Great Kings said.

Li Xiuyuan hurriedly said: "My guards and friends who were traveling with me also fell into the water, and I ask the Eighth King to rescue them."

I'm fine, but I can't forget that other people are still in the water.

"This is a trivial matter, please rest assured, my lord." The Eight Great Kings said.

At this time, several big turtles appeared on the surface of the river. Although they were not as big as the Eight Great Kings, they were also very unusual. One could tell that they were not ordinary turtles. The turtle dived into the river and carried all the fallen scholars, guards, boatmen, and singing girls on board.

"They are my descendants. I let them accumulate some merit so that they can survive the disaster in the future." The Eight Great Kings said.

The Eight Great Kings and the other big turtles carried Li Xiuyuan and other scholars who fell into the water on their backs, and quickly rowed towards the shore.

Seeing this scene, the scholars turned pale with fright and were at a loss, letting the big turtle in the water carry them to the shore.

After docking, Li Xiuyuan held Xiaodie in his arms, carrying the frightened and trembling Du Chunhua onto the shore.

After stepping on the solid ground, everyone's hanging heart just relaxed.

It is estimated that after today's incident, these people will probably think twice if they want to take a boat in the future. Maybe if they fall into the water again, they will not be so lucky, and they will be rescued by a turtle spirit.

Fortunately, they are doing good deeds, cultivating spirits, if they encounter evil spirits, the whole boat will become food for fish monsters.

"I'll send you here. The Dragon King of Wujiang River is not often encountered when traveling. You may not encounter it like today when you cross the river in the future, so don't worry too much in the future." The Eighth King said.

"Thank you, the Eight Great Kings." Li Xiuyuan was still very grateful.

I finally met a monster who looked kind and friendly.

The Eight Great Kings nodded. At this time, another turtle spirit came ashore with a boatman who was already dead and was covered in water plants.

"The boatman was caught by the Dragon King of Wujiang River and thrown into the river. Although I rescued him in time, I couldn't rescue him. I can only hand over this corpse to you. I hope you don't mind." The Eighth King said.

Li Xiuyuan looked at the boatman whose face was already pale, and his heart twitched.

A life that was fine before just collided with the Dragon King of Wujiang River and fell into the water and died.

This Wujiang Dragon King is too domineering, and even the eight kings of this water area respect and fear him, and they are afraid that the Wujiang Dragon King will retaliate afterwards.

"Your salute, I also asked my children and grandchildren to bring you here, so I will leave." The Eight Great Kings ordered a group of big turtles to carry everyone's bags and put them on the bank, and then turned back to the river.

"Uh, the tortoise can actually talk."

Wang Ping just came back to his senses at this moment, when he saw the Eight Great Kings uttering words, he pointed at the Eight Great Kings tremblingly.

"It's not a turtle, it's a turtle."

The Eight Great Kings turned around and said something again, just now they took their children and grandchildren and dived into the river.

Following the ripples, a group of big turtles quickly disappeared.

"Really, there really are monsters." Zhu Yu also stammered in fright.

Before, everyone was still talking about the strange power and confusion, but in the blink of an eye, it was a water ghost, a Wujiang Dragon King, and a turtle spirit.

It's almost like arriving at the monster's lair.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Ghosts and spirits have existed since ancient times. It is not surprising to encounter them today. You should thank the Eight Great Kings. If it wasn't for him, we would still be swimming in the river right now."

"It's a pole, it's a pole."

Everyone said something in shock, and hurriedly bowed to Dajiang to express their gratitude.

Li Xiuyuan looked at the calm river, but he didn't think too much about the Wujiang Dragon King. Instead, it was the Eight Great Kings that made him think.

I would rather take the risk of offending the Dragon King of Wujiang to save people.

I'm afraid it's not as simple as earning merit.

But if all the ghosts want to become immortals and Taos, they just follow two paths: become gods by burning incense, and become immortals by practicing.

The former needs to build temples, manifest spirits, and accumulate incense. Although it is easy to become a god, the starting point is too high and it is very difficult.

Although the latter is easier to get started, it is very difficult to practice and needs to go through disasters, so spirits and monsters will accumulate merits and virtues in order to resolve disasters.

The path taken by the Eight Great Kings must be the latter.

If it is the latter, it is absolutely impossible to cause catastrophe for the sake of accumulating merit and virtue because of a small loss.

This is a losing trade.

"I'm afraid the Eight Great Kings are hiding something from us." Li Xiuyuan couldn't help guessing in his heart.

However, no matter what plans the Eight Great Kings have, he is still more grateful to this turtle spirit, at least others have offered to help.
