Traveling to Xianwu

Chapter 523 Demonic Qi
In the world of Liaozhai, there are also priesthoods such as river gods and city gods, but Shen Chengping has heard from his master that this kind of priesthood is also subject to control and cannot be enshrined too much, and generally speaking, for these river gods and city gods, The most important thing is not the offerings, but the incense, because most of these priests take the road of becoming gods with incense, and incense is equivalent to the aura of the immortal cultivators to them. Naturally, the more the better, and those offerings are important to them. On the contrary, it has little effect, so in Shen Chengping's view, the actions of this so-called river god are really weird.

Hearing Shen Chengping say that the river god doesn't know the rules, the little boy was shocked and said: "Don't talk nonsense, this river god can control the river, but half a month ago, the river flooded the entire Zhoujia Town, you So if the river god hears it and makes the river god angry, it will be even more difficult for me to wait!"

Seeing the little girl's expression, Shen Chengping didn't answer the conversation, but instead said to the little girl: "I was just talking nonsense out of anger, I didn't expect such a thing to happen, so I don't know you guys When do you worship the river god every day? I have never seen ghosts and gods, my lord?"

When Shen Chengping mentioned the God of the River, the second boy still had an expression of daring to speak out, and said, "Every time the God of the River entrusts us with a dream, I wait for it to be prepared to worship at the River God Temple by the river in the north of the town during the day and in the morning. The god of the river will come every day before noon, the sun is about to set today, and the sacrifice has already ended, my son, if you want to see it, you have to wait until tomorrow."

Originally, Shen Chengping felt that the river god was strange, so he wanted to find out the origin of the river god at this time, so he decided to stay here for one night and wait until tomorrow to see the situation.

"Since that's the case, it just so happens that it's getting late today, so please arrange a good room first, my young master. I'll stay here first, and it's better to go to the Heshen Temple tomorrow to see it." Shen Chengping thought He wanted to see who the god of the river was, but he only asked about the road in detail, and then asked the little girl to prepare the room after giving him a tip.

When the little girl left, Shen Chengping said in his heart: "I can dream in this whole town without being affected, and I don't feel any sneakiness around. It is very likely that it is the righteous god with the seal. Being so inconsiderate of the power of the people, he even dared to manipulate the river to pour water into the town without permission. This is already a violation of the rules. If the river god was officially pardoned, he would never do this. Could it be that some monster is really causing trouble? It's weird, I still need to investigate carefully, and I don't know exactly who the river god is or what his cultivation level is, so it's not a wise person to directly hit the door."

After thinking for a while, Shen Chengping suddenly smiled lightly and said: "But maybe we can see each other tonight instead of tomorrow."

It turns out that according to what the Xiao Er said before, Shen Chengping has confirmed that the river god will give dreams to the people in Zhoujia Town every night, so as to ask for various sacrifices. Shen Chengping also wants to see the river god. There is some reason, so as soon as he lay down, he took off his instinctive protection, and gradually fell into sleep.When Shen Chengping fell into a deep sleep, the scenery in front of him suddenly changed, and he felt that he did not know when he had come to the bank of the river.

The wind was very strong, and the big river seemed to be angry. The turbulent waves crashed on the shore, the waves rolled, and the roaring sound was amazing.Suddenly, the waves swirled, and a man emerged from among them, wearing golden chain mail all over his body, tall and mighty, holding a jade talisman in his hand.

Seeing Shen Chengping, the man condescended and shouted: "Listen to the people of Zhoujia Town, I will marry a new wife tomorrow, and you must present the woman who is waiting to be married in time, and prepare three offerings of incense, otherwise it will be a disaster." If you disrespect my God, there will be floods, and then it will be too late to regret, do you remember?" After speaking, with a bang, a wave several feet high roared and smashed towards Shen Chengping viciously.

Shen Chengping was also very surprised when he saw it, he got up abruptly while dodging, opened his eyes, and saw that he was still in the room of the inn, and heard a rooster crowing, it was almost dawn .

After waking up, Shen Chengping didn't wash up, but sat on the bed and meditated: "At first, I thought that the river god was just a mountain spirit and wild monster, who knew the spell of holding a dream, and then made trouble in Zhoujia Town. Now look at that The jade talisman in the dream contains divine power, it is the orthodox river god talisman, and it is precisely because of this that the river god can entrust dreams to everyone in the town at the same time."

Speaking of which, the gods in this world are all practitioners who follow the way of the gods. Among them, the orthodox ones are recognized by the world. He was strongly suppressed, and this river god has a canonized jade talisman, presumably he is a righteous god who has been officially canonized, otherwise he would not have been recognized by the jade talisman, but Shen Chengping always felt that there was something weird about it.

"No matter what, let's go and have a look first. After all, even though the river god has been canonized, it's still too much to squeeze the power of the people, and it's also against the rules to ask the people to give women. I still have to go and see the situation. That's good." Having made up his mind, Shen Chengping didn't hesitate anymore, and after washing up, he came to the Heshen Temple in the north.

Shen Chengping looked at the vermilion walls and blue tiles, obviously it was repaired recently.The god statue inside was also very solemnly decorated, just like the image of the golden-armored god-man Shen Chengping saw in his dream, and looked majestic.

The most important point in worshiping the river god is to offer three animals.However, it is different from worshiping the Land God, the three animals are not placed on the altar in the temple, but transported to the riverside, filled with a bamboo raft, and sent to the river.

Today the river flow was calm, but when the bamboo raft full of three animals and a fifteen or sixteen-year-old woman just floated to the middle of the river, a storm suddenly broke out. , the three animals above are gone long ago, and the woman is also gone.

Seeing this scene, the people in the surrounding towns all kowtowed, tremblingly hoping that the river god would be satisfied, but Shen Chengping, who was watching from the bank, felt something was wrong:
"Strange, why do I feel a strong demonic aura? If you say that this river god was canonized, although many of them were formed by this goblin after accepting Zhao'an, when they were canonized, they should have been washed by divine power to remove them. The demonic aura on his body, but the river god's demonic aura is obvious, no different from ordinary wild goblins, even the talisman can't completely cover it up, it's really suspicious!"

Thinking of this, Shen Chengping suddenly became suspicious, and thought: "No matter what, I'll go see this river god first, I always feel that there is something wrong with this river god."

Thinking of this, Shen Chengping avoided everyone's sight, came to a secluded place, cast a spell to avoid water, and sneaked into the river.
