Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 230 The New Water God
Li Xiuyuan was sitting in the lobby with the blind Taoist, his master at the moment.

He didn't say a word and waited quietly.

The blind man held the book of life and death in his hands, and kept flipping through it. The papers on it seemed endless, no matter how much he flipped through, he couldn't finish it.

Several hours have passed since the beginning.

It wasn't until this time that the blind Taoist put down the book of life and death, a light flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled a little.

"What happened?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

The blind man smiled and said, "It is indeed a great merit to quell the plague this time. A total of 12 people have been saved. I remember it clearly in life and death. You are right, the number of days can be changed. .”

Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said, "It's not that the number of days can be changed, but that someone falsely claims the number of days."

"That makes sense," said the blind man.

"But you are betting against the gods in the sky, how do you plan to govern this Yangzhou boundary?" the blind Taoist said again.

Li Xiuyuan said: "I don't have a clue yet, I need to think about this matter more."

"If you manage it well, this is a matter of merit. If you don't manage it well, you may suffer a lot of disasters, but this is normal. You are a natural saint, so how can you not experience disasters." The blind Taoist said.

Li Xiuyuan said: "I don't have a clue about what happened in Yangzhou, but I have a general idea about what happened in Guo Beicheng."

"Oh, tell me about it with me as a teacher." The blind man said.

"Mu Daoren is the next City God, and Tieshan and other eight hundred Yin soldiers will assist him, which is believed to be enough to control the boundaries of Guobei City."

The blind Taoist nodded and said: "There are plenty of manpower, this place can't be messed up, the temple will be rebuilt in that dilapidated temple, the original Town God's Temple has been occupied by the government, I'm afraid it won't be taken back, but someone is in charge of the land boundary, what about the waters?" ?”

"The Eight Great Kings can be in charge of the waters of this boundary. It has saved many people in Guobei City before, and has done a lot of good deeds. It is enough to be the water god of this boundary." Li Xiuyuan said.

The blind Taoist calculated with his fingers, and said with a smile: "It turns out that it is a turtle spirit, and it can also become the water god of this land, so this is the end of this city, but there is more than one city in Yangzhou. The situation is much more complicated.”

"I know, but it will take some time. Besides, didn't the gods in the sky give me a year? Within this year, I should be able to come up with a perfect plan." Li Xiuyuan said.

After that, I discussed other things with the blind Taoist, most of which were ghosts and gods.

"Young master, when the monthly money was distributed just now, someone took ten taels of silver. I don't know how to deal with it?"

The account manager came to the lobby at this time, and told what happened just now, while looking a little nervous and cautious, for fear of being punished.

"Someone pretended to be paid?"

Li Xiuyuan frowned and said: "However, there are so many people here, it is normal for there to be false leaders, but this trend cannot be long, otherwise there will be more false leaders. You should inform the people first, who will catch the false leaders Go to the government, who will get the twelve taels of false wages on him, I believe that at this time, Mr. Song Yuansong really hopes to use this to build his prestige."

The plague is over.

The rest is governance. If that Song Yuan doesn't want to work in vain, he will definitely be eager to perform at this time, and catching bandits is one of his achievements.

"What are you still doing here? Why don't you continue to pay monthly money?" Li Xiuyuan said.

"Yes, yes, it's the eldest young master." The account manager quickly responded, and then withdrew.

Li Xiuyuan said again: "Be careful when distributing wages. Although the people are simple, they can't condone those who have evil intentions."

The account manager nodded again and again, and then retreated just now.

Soon, when the account manager went out of the mansion and told about this matter, immediately there were rogues and idlers in the city, their eyes lit up, and then they left aggressively, obviously to arrest the horse who pretended to claim money. Hill.

After all, Mr. Li has spoken, whoever can catch him and send him to the government will be able to take the money from him.

Although Guobei City is big, there is nothing unfamiliar to the idlers in the city. I believe that Ma Qiu will soon be in trouble.

A few days passed after the aftermath.

The plague in the city has completely dissipated, and order has begun to gradually restore.

A city that was originally lifeless, now like an old tree sprouting, sprouted vitality again.

But on this day, Li Xiuyuan was already preparing to pack up and salute, and with his guards, he was about to leave Guo Beicheng and return home.

This time he came to Guo Beicheng to participate in the courtyard examination, and now the courtyard examination has already ended, if something like this happened halfway and it was delayed for so long, he should have gone home long ago.

Although there are family letters every once in a while to ensure safety, but Li Xiuyuan believes that he will not be able to for a long time, and his parents should be very worried.

"Master Lao will take care of the affairs in the city. I will go back to my hometown to report safety, and I will come back after a while." Li Xiuyuan said.

The blind Taoist stroked his beard and smiled; "If there are any difficulties that cannot be solved, you can ask the Yin soldiers to inform the teacher, and the teacher will help you."

"Thank you, Master, for your concern." Li Xiuyuan said.

"Lu Bo, I will ask you to take care of the house."

Lu Bo next to him was a little flattered and said: "This is what an old slave should do. You are welcome, young master."

"Master, the horses are ready to go." At this time, Xing Shan strode outside the lobby and said with clasped hands.

"Okay, it's time to work, master, my apprentice is leaving."

After speaking, Li Xiuyuan set off.

With the guards, the group quickly left Guo Beicheng and headed towards the county.

However, when he got to the river and was about to cross the river, Li Xiuyuan discovered that because of the flood some time ago, there was no ferry on the river, and the original ferry had been washed away, and there was no sign of repairing it.

It is feared that the people ferrying near the ferry will be more seriously affected.

"Hey, why are there no boats? When I passed by here before, I saw a few scattered ferries." Wu Fei wondered.

"There is a boat, there is a boat, how can there be no boat." At this time, an abrupt voice sounded.

"Who, who is talking?" Wu Fei shouted immediately when he heard the voice sound strange.

Xing Shan next to him also frowned, subconsciously becoming vigilant.

"Hehe, it's me, it's me, Mr. Li doesn't know me anymore."

At this time, a middle-aged man about 50 or [-] years old came out of the river.

The river water automatically parted from his side, and his whole body didn't get wet at all, which made people feel miraculous.

"A monster?" Wu Fei exclaimed.

"Oh, the Eight Great Kings?"

Li Xiuyuan recognized the voice when he heard the voice, and then said with no surprise.

The Eighth King gave a salute with a smile: "Greetings, Mr. Li."

"I was going to look for you, but I heard that you are no longer hiding in the moat, and you must have returned to your own waters." Li Xiuyuan said.

"Exactly, I don't know why Mr. Li is looking for the little god? The little god was wandering in the river today, and saw Mr. Li was worried about crossing the river. He just showed up and wanted to send Mr. Li across the river." The eight kings said.

Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "I have a good thing for you. You should also know that the Dragon King of Wujiang is dead. No one is in charge of the large and small waters of this land."

"Yes, so the little god returned to the waters ahead of time to tidy up the river, lest the river be blocked by silt and cause another flood." The Eight Great Kings said.

Li Xiuyuan said: "There are too few rivers to sort out. I want the Eighth King to sort out all the rivers in this land and take charge of all the waters in this land."

"How did this little god do it?" The Eight Great Kings asked in surprise.

"Is the Eight Great Kings unable to do it, or are they afraid to do it?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

The Eight Great Kings smiled sheepishly: "I can't do it, and I don't dare to do it. Little gods are mediocre, how can they control so many waters, and being a little king in this small piece of water is enough."

Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said, "Taoism will increase, but this is the only chance right now. The Dragon King of Wujiang caused more harm than that. Not only did he lose his life, but the water gods in the nearby waters were also persecuted because of him. It is the best time to restore order, so this land boundary needs a manager, if you agree to the Eight Great Kings, from now on you will be the king of this land boundary and waters, and you will become a veritable Eight Great Kings."

"Of course, if you don't want to accept this appointment, I can only find another water god."

The Eight Great Kings were immediately moved when they heard the words, but then hesitated and said: "This promotion and appointment is naturally good news, but without the imperial seal from the Heavenly Palace, the name of the little god has nothing to do with it."

"I don't need the edict from Tiangong. Tiangong has already agreed to let me appoint the gods of this land. As long as you can secure this position, you can replace the Dragon King of Wujiang, and there will be no problem." Li Xiuyuan said .

"Master Li, are you serious?" The Eighth King's eyes lit up suddenly.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Of course it is true. If Tiangong troubles you, you can come to me and I will take responsibility for it."

The Eight Great Kings said that when they saw Li Xiuyuan, and as a saint in the world, they would not deceive themselves, so they immediately gritted their teeth and said, "Okay, then the little god will take the order, and I wish to be the water god of this water area."

Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said, "It's not this water area, but this land boundary. As long as you can manage as many water areas within this land boundary, you are the water god of as many water areas."

"The little god understands." The Eight Great Kings were stunned, and then saluted again.

"If the Eight Great Kings are capable, you can manage the entire waters of Yangzhou, but please keep in mind that the Eight Great Kings must not allow a second Wujiang Dragon King to appear in their own waters," Li Xiuyuan said.

"My little god understands."

The Eighth King's heart trembled, and he understood what Li Xiuyuan meant, but it was hard to conceal his inner excitement.

Because no one knows more about the waters than he does.Now that the Dragon King of Wujiang River has been killed, and the previous water god has been persecuted by the Dragon King of Wujiang River, it can be said that the position of the water god of all rivers and lakes is vacant.

Although I am not good enough, there are not many powerful spirits in this water area, and I am enough to occupy a place.

In addition, with the nod of the sage in the world today, Tiangong will not intervene, and this last worry is gone.
