Traveling to Xianwu

Chapter 522 I don't know the rules

"Grandma, don't talk nonsense with him, it's raining heavily outside, let's go in quickly!" Seeing this, the girl took the rein, pulled the donkey and walked inside. Three people and one donkey entered the temple, directly occupying most of the place.The girl tied the reins of the donkey to the door bolt of the temple, and helped the old lady walk towards the bonfire.

When they saw the bonfire lit by Shen Chengping, they leaned against the corner and sat by the bonfire, and Shen Chengping didn't say much when he saw this, and sat beside the bonfire, but when the girl saw Shen Chengping sitting next to her, she couldn't bear it. He couldn't help saying: "Oh, how come you came here!" Although there is no defense between men and women in the world of Liaozhai, there are differences between men and women.

However, Shen Chengping was displeased with the girl's performance just now, so he said: "This is the fire I lit, what else do you want? Do you want me to give up the fire?" Although Shen Chengping didn't care about the wind and cold at all, But we just met by chance, so it would be nice to let you warm up. I am willing to help you out of my kindness, but it is not my duty. Shen Chengping has never been used to this kind of problem.

Seeing this, the girl knew that she was in the wrong, so she stopped talking. Because of this conflict, the atmosphere between the three of them was not good. For a while, no one continued to say anything. The sound of rain outside came, and after a while , There was a faint sound of sheep bleating outside.

The girl heard the sheep bleating outside, and looked subconsciously, and saw a shepherd driving a flock of sheep in the heavy rain, approaching the mountain temple.

"It's actually a sheep driver!" Looking at the approaching sheep, the girl frowned slightly.

Shen Chengping didn't say a word when he heard the sound, he reached out to add firewood to the fire to keep the fire going strong.

"There are quite a lot of people here, and there is even a donkey!" Not long after, a shepherd in Tsing Yi walked in.This shepherd looks to be in his thirties, but he has a pair of triangular eyes, which gives people a very gloomy and cunning feeling, as if he is not a good person.

As soon as he entered the door, the shepherd first looked at Shen Chengping, and then at the girl beside him.Sensing the gaze of the shepherd, Shen Chengping felt a little puzzled. The status of a shepherd is inferior, but this shepherd in blue has a faintly superior posture, which makes him a little strange.

Seeing that there was still space, the shepherd in Tsing Yi moved directly to Shen Chengping's side and sat down. He even squeezed towards Shen Chengping. He wanted to squeeze some space, but Shen Chengping shook him slightly, causing his body to tremble. pain.

He looked at Shen Chengping in amazement, a look of fear flashed in his eyes, and he didn't dare to make any more moves, but at this moment, a dozen goats brought by the shepherd crowded around the door and looked inside, their eyes full of It is the color of pleading.

"Hey, this sheep..." Suddenly, Shen Chengping saw a sheep licking the door frame with its tongue. After the sheep left its head, the word "help" appeared on the door frame.

Seeing this scene, Shen Chengping was stunned for a moment, and then he looked at the shepherd beside him. He remembered that in the story of Liaozhai, there was an article "Building Animals", which was about a person who knew evil methods and possessed The means of becoming a beast, the sheep outside could write with its tongue to ask for help, and seeing the performance of the shepherd, Shen Chengping stood up and walked towards the outside of the temple.

"What are you going to do?" Seeing Shen Chengping's actions, the shepherd's heart skipped a beat and he couldn't help asking.

"People have three urgencies, what do you think I'm going to do!" Shen Chengping replied bluntly.

The shepherd then warned: "Run away, and don't touch my sheep, or it will make you look good!"

Shen Chengping didn't answer either, the goat at the gate of a temple, which was writing for help, bit his shirt with its teeth.Biting his clothes, he pulled and pulled at Shen Chengping, looking a little impatient, but Shen Chengping didn't move, but put his hand on the goat's head, felt a little, and said: "It really hit the goat!" Sorcery, if this is the case, then... break it!"

Shen Chengping immediately began to recite the mantra, but after a while, all the goats turned into people, Shen Chengping had already seen it in the temple, the shepherd was at most an ordinary person, he didn't even have mana, Being able to transform into a sheep mostly relies on sorcery, so he said to those who had just turned back into human bodies and were inexplicably surprised: "As the saying goes, good and evil will be rewarded, you all go to revenge!"

These people were turned into goats. During these days, they were often bullied by the shepherd. Seeing that Shen Chengping miraculously directly broke the spell of the shepherd, they immediately became courageous and rushed into the temple one after another.

"My god..." Seeing so many people rushing together, the shepherd wanted to escape.But before the shepherd could escape, a dozen young and old men rushed in and threw him to the ground together.

For a while, there were endless screams.The old lady and the young girl in the mountain temple were already stunned by such a change, and watched helplessly as the shepherd was punched and beaten to death on the spot.

……

After meeting the corpse ghost and the shepherd, in the following days, apart from encountering some bandits, Shen Chengping didn't encounter anything special. Shen Chengping also changed into a rich man's attire. I changed the donkey into a horse and drove on the road. After more than half a month, I came to a town by the river. This town is a typical small town in the south of the Yangtze River. There is a decayed old man standing next to the road into the town. The one-person tall wooden sign, with the three big characters 'Zhoujia Town' written on it, is obviously the name of this town.

But after entering the town, Shen Chengping frowned secretly, because he found that there were few pedestrians on the road, and everyone he saw on the road had a bitter look on his face, as if he had encountered something embarrassing.

Shen Chengping felt strange, found an inn, ordered some side dishes, and then asked the waiter: "I said, waiter, I think your town seems a bit strange here, what is the reason?"

The waiter looked at Shen Chengping and found that Shen Chengping was dressed like a rich man, so he said: "My lord, you are probably from a foreign country. This happened only last month. On the first day of last month, our Zhou family At night, the whole town got a dream from a man with golden light on his body, he claimed to be the local river god, and asked us to offer various sacrifices of cattle and sheep."

"At first we thought it was just an ordinary dream, but after waking up, we found that everyone in the town had the same dream, so we decided that it was the manifestation of the river god, so the mayor and the village elders in the town discussed Immediately after that, sacrifices were offered on the same day, hoping that the river god would bless us and be safe.

Unexpectedly, the next day, the river god conjured up his dream again, and still asked me to offer more sacrifices. This has never stopped for more than a month. The wife of the river god, and if she neglects anything, the river will flood into the town immediately, and all the people who cross the river by boat in the town will be destroyed and killed, making us miserable.

I waited to report to the government, but the government said that the court can't control the affairs of ghosts and gods. If this continues, I will not be able to support the river god. Hundreds of families in a town may have to leave their homes and go to the inland to earn a living. "Speaking of this, the Xiao Er has already sighed. As the saying goes, people who leave their hometowns are cheap. If it is not a last resort, the people are actually not willing to leave their hometowns, but Zhoujia Town can't afford this kind of daily offerings.

But after hearing what the little girl said, Shen Chengping frowned, and said: "I didn't expect the river god here to be so ignorant of the rules!"
