Liaozhai Great Sage

"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.

Chapter 1 Ghost City

"Ha chirp~!"

A sneeze sounded, and a drenched scholar covered his body and shivered.

Although everyone was sent ashore by the Eight Great Kings before, avoiding the possibility of falling into the river and drowning, but after being drenched by the river water, and now the evening wind blows, these weak scholars who have no strength to restrain the chickens began to catch a cold, one by one. Sneezing.

It's not winter, it's just autumn. If it's winter, I'm afraid people will die.

"Let's go back to the city quickly. I was delayed for a while, and it's already very late." Li Xiuyuan looked at the sky and said immediately.

Zhu Yu twisted his wet clothes, looked at him and said, "Everyone here fell into the water, why is it that Brother Li didn't fall into the water? Even the maid beside him didn't fall into the river, I'm so envious."

Everyone on the boat was drenched, only Li Xiuyuan and his maidservants Xiaodie and Du Chunhua were fine.

And it was thanks to Li Xiuyuan that they were fine.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Maybe I was lucky, so the eight kings in the river temporarily rescued me, saving me from the danger of falling into the river."

"No, let's not talk about this, go back to the city quickly, I'm afraid the city gate will be closed if it's later." Wang Ping also said coldly.

"Yes, I almost forgot about closing the city gate." There were also scholars who slapped their heads and remembered.

"Quick, pack up and salute, let's go back to the city quickly."

If it was too late to go back, the few of them could only spend the night in the wilderness.
