Liaozhai Great Sage
Page 589
Li Xiuyuan's eyes flashed, and he used his divine eye technique, and he saw a small river in front of him that was originally knee-high, but turned out to be uncharacteristically muddy, tumbling and surging, with the momentum of a great river going east.
"Which ghost dares to cast spells in front of me to control the river and block my way?"
He saw a demonic aura hanging over the river, so it could be seen that the river was not flooded due to the flooding upstream, but a water monster dormant in the river, manipulating the river water, which caused the river to roll and surge.
Just when he said this, the surging river in front of him suddenly calmed down, and the river was cut off from the middle of the river, revealing a pontoon bridge.
The pontoon bridge looks like it is formed of natural old wood, with uneven, ravines and textures on it.
At this moment, Li Xiuyuan saw all kinds of underwater things through the pontoon bridge.
His expression froze.
This is not a pontoon bridge, but where is a huge crocodile crawling. The pontoon bridge is the exposed back of this huge crocodile, but because it is too large, it cuts off the river and forms a pontoon bridge.
On the pontoon bridge at this time appeared a child who was thought to be about twelve or thirteen years old. He was wearing a robe and a jade crown, and he looked like a well-mannered scholar.
The childish child stood on the pontoon bridge and bowed his hands to Li Xiuyuan, who had not yet appeared in the distance, and gave a salute.
"Yangtze River King pays homage to the sage on earth."
Li Xiuyuan cast his divine eye technique and said, "Since you are the king of the Yangtze River, why do you want to control the river here and block my way?"
He had heard of the King of the Yangtze River, a thousand-year-old crocodile demon outside the Qinhuai River who had attained Taoism, possessed extraordinary morality, occupied the Yangtze River and proclaimed himself king, becoming the king of that area of water.
However, because of a battle in Jinling City, the evil spirits in the vicinity seemed to have been cleaned up by the Thunder Gate in the sky. Even the Yangzijiang King was beaten into a mud pond by Thunder God.
The ghosts and gods under Li Xiuyuan knew his position.
Unexpectedly, the king of Yangzijiang came here after not hearing the news from ghosts and gods for a day.
King Yangzijiang said sincerely and respectfully: "The sages in the world lead the army to quell the chaos. They want to clean up the world, do justice for the heavens, and do upright things. How dare the little monster do things against the sky? The little monster appeared here today, but he just wanted to worship him." Under the command of a sage in the world, it is nothing more than a saddle and a horse, although the way of the little demon is mediocre, but a demon body can also be transformed into a pontoon bridge, iron chains, and march for the sage."
Is that true?
Li Xiuyuan looked at the pontoon bridge transformed by the thousand-year-old crocodile monster, and it was indeed exquisite. With the existence of this big monster in the army, it would not be a problem to build bridges when encountering water, and to open roads when encountering mountains.
It turned out that this was not maliciously blocking him, but deliberately showing his ability and capital.
There is a taste of being up for grabs.
"The ghosts and gods under my command serve me for the same ideas as mine. They don't seek wealth and glory, they don't seek incense and morality, they only seek peace in the world and peace for all eternity." Li Xiuyuan said: "Although you are not me People in the Tao, but since you are willing to take refuge in your heart, I will not refuse your kindness, so tell me, what do you want to serve me?"
If you don't come for ideas, then you come for benefits.
Such a spirit would weigh one or two.
Just because the Yangtze River King has indeed shown a very powerful ability, regardless of this pontoon bridge, Li Xiuyuan is very clear about what it means to a large army.
Yang Zijiang Wang said: "I just ask for a few pieces of Diliu in the hands of the sage."
"Come here for the emperor's blood?" Li Xiuyuan's heart skipped a beat.
He had indeed intercepted a lot of Diliuzhi, but he didn't expect some ghosts to guess that most of Diliujiang had fallen into his hands so soon.
For spirit monsters, one piece of Emperor Ointment can add 100 years of Taoism. Before the Yangtze River King failed in the battle with Lei Gong, he was seriously injured, and his Taoism was greatly reduced. Now it is reasonable to ask for Emperor Ointment.
As for trust or something, it is not necessary.
If commitment is karma, you have to pay back if you owe karma, otherwise you will lose your merit and disaster will come from heaven.
If the merit is insufficient and the cause and effect are too heavy, one will die in a catastrophe.
But to make a promise to him, a sage in the world, and forge karma, the catastrophe will be even greater, and the thousand-year-old demon who has survived the 600-year catastrophe cannot bear it.
"I do have Emperor Ointment in my hands. That thing is useless to ghosts, gods, and mortals. It is only useful to vegetation spirits. Since you work for me for Emperor Ointment, it is equivalent to doing a long-term job under my hands. How about it? I'll give you a piece of Emperor's Ointment, and you'll work for me for ten years, how about that?" Li Xiuyuan offered a salary.
"The little demon wants to ask for five pieces of emperor's ointment." Yangzijiang King said with some joy when he heard the words.
He wants to add 500 years of Taoism in one go.
Li Xiuyuan said calmly: "Then wait until after the first ten years of service. I won't give you 50 years' salary in one go. There is no such rule in my Li family."
King Yangzijiang also felt that it made sense when he heard the words, so he couldn't continue to force him, so he took out a simple book from his arms, on which three large characters appeared: Book of Life and Death.
"I don't know how many pieces of emperor fluid can I get in exchange for this treasure?"
Life and death book?
Li Xiuyuan's eyes were fixed, he did not forget the words of the long-tongued ghost king, the book of life and death is in the hands of Dongyue Shenjun, Lu Pan, West Lake Lord, Heishan old demon, and the Yangtze River King.
He got the two books of life and death in Lu Pan's hand and the book of life and death in Guo Bei's Chenghuang, a total of three books.
It is expected that the Yangtze River King has a book of life and death.
"I can only give you the emperor's ointment for offering the book of life and death. This thing is the treasure of the underworld. If you take it inappropriately, it will only lead to death. I am willing to give it to you for the sake of offering the treasure, otherwise , even if you don't take it out today, I will take it away." Li Xiuyuan said in a deep voice.
He gave both kindness and power, neither showing himself to be overbearing, nor letting the Yangzijiang King borrow flowers to present Buddha so smoothly.
Originally, the book of life and death was a thing of the underworld, and sooner or later he would return to the underworld, even he just borrowed it and never thought of occupying it.
"The little demon is willing to serve the saints in the world."
King Yangzijiang thought about it for a while and found it acceptable. He held the book of life and death in both hands, and knelt on the pontoon bridge transformed by the thousand-year-old crocodile monster to welcome the arrival of the saint on earth.
Seeing this, Li Xiuyuan withdrew his divine eye technique, and then gave an order: "There is a pontoon bridge in front of you, pass the order down, and the whole army will cross the bridge."
Although the surrounding commanders had different expressions and didn't understand why the flood suddenly flooded and there was another pontoon, as subordinates, they still believed in the commander's decision, and immediately passed on the order to move on.
And when the army walked to the side of the river, they saw a pontoon bridge suddenly appear on the river, and there was a young child kneeling on the pontoon bridge. It was unknown which family's child it was.
The child is holding the thing above, welcoming someone's arrival.
Seeing this, Li Xiuyuan's expression was calm, and he took the lead on the pontoon bridge on his dragon colt, then got off his horse halfway and walked towards the King of the Yangtze River.
Chapter 474 I'm Not Here
Li Xiuyuan actually took a certain risk when walking alone on the pontoon bridge transformed from the body of the thousand-year-old crocodile.
If King Yangzijiang harbored evil intentions, his body would drag him into the river and swallow him in one gulp, maybe his life in the world would have ended prematurely.
But such concerns were necessary in the past.
But now that Li Xiuyuan has obtained divine power, he can perform some spells and Taoism, and now he is no longer just relying on the Immortal Sword.
"I'll take the book of life and death, and I'll give you the two emperor ointments." Li Xiuyuan reached out to take the book of life and death without dragging his feet, and then he handed over the two emperor ointments.
After taking over the emperor's pulp, the Yangzijiang King gave a respectful salute: "From now on, I am willing to do the work of a dog and a horse for a saint."
