Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 610 Shipwreck
There are too many injustices in the world.

Li Xiuyuan knew that he couldn't control the world by himself, but although he knew it in his heart, he still couldn't sit idly by if it happened to him.

This may be the so-called good heart.

Sometimes kindness is better than reason, and it is natural to do things that ordinary people seem to have no way to understand.

For many people, what they do is driven by interests, and they will never do things that are not beneficial, and they will never touch things that are harmful to their interests.

Over time, people who only see benefits in their eyes think that this is the only truth in the world. They think that good people who do good and accumulate virtue are fools. It's for yourself, it's for yourself

interest.

But if the world wants to be stable and prosperous, what it needs most is not smart people, but groups of fools.

They may not be able to enjoy happiness all their lives through hard work, but future generations will get a happy life because of their hard work.

The predecessors planted trees and the descendants enjoyed the shade, but if the predecessors did not plant trees, how could the descendants enjoy the shade?
So sometimes Li Xiuyuan felt that he was a fool.

In fact, he can live a rich life with rich clothes, rich wives and concubines, and become a righteous god in the sky after death.

But he is not stupid. On the contrary, he is very smart. It's just that he is smart and chose a path that a fool would take.

three days later.

Li Xiuyuan came to a river on horseback.

The picture of the dragon and horse was drawn by Zhang Sengyou, and it will not sink under water. He rode his horse northward along the river and caught up with two passenger ships.

He just appeared near the passenger ship, and immediately the river near the two ships was tumbling, turbulent, vortexed, and the dark tide was turbulent, as if there was some huge monster dormant under the water. At this moment, he was suddenly awakened because of his arrival.

"crash"

The river surged, and a huge black rock covered with water grass and river mud floated up.

Li Xiuyuan looked up, it was not a huge rock, but a giant turtle floating up from the water.

In addition to the giant turtle, there was another huge splash of water nearby, and a giant crocodile swam towards it like a dead tree. When it raised its head slightly, the crocodile's eyes were somewhat vigilant.

"Eight Great Kings, King Yangzijiang, I haven't seen you for a few months, how are you doing?" Li Xiuyuan greeted the two old acquaintances with a smile on his face.

"Meet the saint."

"I've seen Mr. Li."

The Eight Great Kings and the Yangzijiang King were shocked when they saw Li Xiuyuan, and then they immediately transformed into an old man and a handsome young man. They stood on the river and saluted Li Xiuyuan respectfully.

"There's no need to be too polite." Li Xiuyuan said, "The two-month escort has really worked hard for you two."

The Eight Great Kings looked ashamed and said: "Although I have tried my best, I still failed the sage's entrustment. A month ago, the boat went north along the river, and encountered a storm on the way. The old man was not good at guarding, so that he was overturned by the huge waves. The two ships, the old man and the Yangtze River King tried their best to protect them.
Just two ships. "

"Is it?"

Li Xiuyuan's expression changed, and he looked at the passenger ship ahead.

Indeed, there were four ships when they set out, but now only two remain.

"What kind of ghost is making waves on the river?" Li Xiuyuan asked in a deep voice.

Ship capsized by huge waves?

Simply ridiculous.

There were two thousand-year-old demons escorting him, and he even left behind three Thunder God Orders. There were two thousand elite soldiers on board, led by Han Meng and Wu Xiang.

If you encounter spirits and monsters, you will be able to repel them with the abilities of the Eight Great Kings and King Yangzijiang. If you really can't do it, you can call Lei Gong to help out.

If you encounter bandits, two thousand elites plus Han Meng and Wu Xiang are enough to fight tens of thousands of horses.

It was precisely because of this lineup that Li Xiuyuan was willing to leave with peace of mind.

I didn't expect it to be like this, and something happened.

King Yangzijiang lowered his head slightly and said, "I don't know which big monster is causing the waves. The Eight Great Kings and I only saw the huge waves, but we didn't see the big monster coming and going. But when we were protecting the boat, we noticed that there was a big monster in the water. There is a demonic aura pervading, it is the breath of a water demon, but it cannot be determined

Where did it come from. "

"That is to say, there are monsters who hid your investigation and made waves on the river, overturning my two boats?" Li Xiuyuan said with a cold expression.

"I also ask the sage to punish me." The Eight Great Kings said in shame.

Li Xiuyuan was not in a hurry to ask the crime, but said: "How about the casualties?"

Yang Zijiang Wang said: "Although the passenger ship was overturned, fortunately, there were many descendants of the Eight Great Kings who traveled along the way, and rescued people in time. No one was injured or injured, but some property was lost."

"If this is the case, then this result is acceptable." Li Xiuyuan nodded and said: "The key is people's survival, and the loss of some property is nothing. Eighth King, your vigilance saved the lives of the people on board. You are not good at guarding, this matter should be beyond your ability
Besides, I don't blame you. "

Being able to do such a thing without telling the two thousand-year-old monsters shows that the enemy is unusually powerful.

The Eighth King breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and said as if he had received an amnesty: "I am extremely ashamed."

"Mr. Li, there is a sentence that I don't know if I should say it or not." Suddenly, King Yangzijiang said solemnly.

"Let's talk." Li Xiuyuan said.

The Yangtze River King said in a low voice: "All the ghosts and gods in the world know that the sage is not close to ghosts and gods, and can avoid all kinds of magic, but they are only afraid of water, fire, swords and soldiers. The huge waves encountered on the waterway this time may not be directed at the boat. It's for you, Mr. Li, maybe the dark monster finds that you are not there
That's why they retreated quickly. As for not drowning the soldiers on the same ship, it was because there was no need for it. "

"What is the life of an ordinary person in the eyes of such a spirit? If everyone on board is drowned, it will only attract the anger of the saint. This is a matter that is not worth the loss."

"The purpose of sparing the lives of the people on the two ships is to not offend you, Mr. Li. Even if you find the evil monster, Mr. Li, you will not be able to find a crime to kill him."

Li Xiuyuan murmured after hearing the words: "In this way, the enemy is not only fierce, but also very cunning? With his ability to overturn two ships in front of you, it is easy to drown the people on the two ships? Why not Do it, just because there is no need for it, and there is no need for two ships
Human life to anger me? "

"Exactly." King Yangzijiang nodded.

Li Xiuyuan's expression became serious. It seems that it was because of his absence that a catastrophe was avoided. If he was on the boat at that time, the situation would be different.

Maybe you will be in danger yourself.

"There are not many ghosts in the world with such abilities, who do you think is the most suspicious?" He asked.

Yangzi Jiang Wang said: "The waters of the official road extend in all directions, connecting the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, together with all the big lakes, many spirits and monsters are suspicious, such as the ghost foreman of the Yellow River, the river god of the Yangtze River, the dragon king among the major rivers, and the master of the West Lake who holds the book of life and death. .These are big monsters, big gods, they

It is possible to murder along the waterway. "

"However, the West Lake Lord is the most suspicious. The waterway is very close to the West Lake Lord's big lake. And it just so happened that on that day, the West Lake Lord's big lake was poured with heavy rain, and the water was surging."

Li Xiuyuan calmly said: "The most suspicious person is not necessarily the murderer, it may be just an illusion created by others to confuse our eyes and kill people with a knife."

"What Mr. Li said is very true." Yangzijiang King said with a shudder in his heart: "I almost forgot that there is the possibility of framing and killing with a knife."

"But it's also possible that this is just a self-directed and self-performed trick to deal with smart people." Li Xiuyuan continued: "Who knows how many years these big men have lived, their minds are extremely cunning, you can't find out why, how can I It will be clear within a period of time. Since this matter has not
If there are casualties, then write it down for the time being, and let's talk about it later. "

"There's been a lot of time wasted right now, it's time to go north and enter the capital, I'll trouble you one more time, let's speed up the journey." Li Xiuyuan said.

He felt that compared to the capital city, the incident of the water monster making waves could be tolerated for a while.

"Yes."

The Eight Great Kings and King Yangzijiang responded.

Immediately, an undercurrent was set off, engulfing the ship and speeding up.

And Li Xiuyuan also jumped up on the dragon horse and landed on the boat.

　Some people ask why subscriptions are sometimes expensive. It is because of the large number of words. When I update every day, I have a chapter of [-] words, which is worth two chapters for others.
