Between seas

Early the next morning, when Shen Boru opened his eyes, he saw Jiang Yizhou standing by his side.Jiang Yizhou's complexion was not very good, his eyes were slightly black and blue, and he looked a little tired, as if he hadn't slept all night.Seeing Shen Boru sitting up, he brought clothes and put them on him: "It's cold in the morning."

Seeing that Jiang Yizhou was not in good spirits, Shen Boru asked, "Did you not sleep well last night?"

A smile slowly appeared on Jiang Yizhou's face, and he moved to Shen Boru's side without saying a word.

"Pretentious, I'm not dead yet." Shen Boru pushed him away calmly.

At this time, there was a light knock on the door outside, and Bao Chunyan whispered: "Is the god awake?"

Jiang Yizhou said happily: "Hey, this little girl is clever, and she is on the right track."

Shen Boru fastened his coat and walked to the door.He pushed open the door, but saw Bao Chunyan's eyes were red, her face was disfigured from crying, and she stood in front of him with aggrieved expression.The little girl was short in stature, Shen Boru bent down to look at her, hurriedly handed over a handkerchief, and said softly: "What's the matter, early in the morning, who bullied you?"

Bao Chunyan was crying and hiccupping, her expression hesitated, and she murmured: "The superiors and the subordinates have notified me that my supervision is not effective, and I have been dismissed from my post and asked me to leave Yecheng. I have nowhere to go... Shenjun , do you still want to be a waiter?"

Shen Boru thought for a while: "What's your name?"

This is tacit consent.

Bao Chunyan shook her head: "I don't have a name."

"You little girl, it's fine if you don't monitor these shitty things. Swallow, you should be free. I'll give you a name, Sanbao." Jiang Yizhou walked over, he patted Shen Boru, and pointed He and Bao Chunyan laughed and said, "Da Bao, Er Bao, San Bao, from now on the three of us will be an auspicious family."

Bao Chunyan wiped away her tears indiscriminately, she smiled before answering.But then he thought of something again, stopped crying, gritted his teeth and said, "Don't try to take advantage of me with the surname Jiang, who wants to be your daughter."

Jiang Yizhou giggled and said, "That's right, I'm not crying stupid yet."

Shen Boru had to admit that Jiang Yizhou's unique persuasion method was quite effective.Hearing the two of them joking around, he really felt like a lucky Ruyi family in a trance.

He was suddenly satisfied, and the corners of his lips raised slightly unconsciously, revealing a warm smile.

Outside the window, two or three chicks are singing and apricot blossoms are in full bloom.

The scenery is boundless.

The three of them tidied up and left the inn.When they left the city, they met Jiang Yanwan. She closed the clinic and planned to take her younger brother to other towns to do some small business.

fair enough.

It was a good time for Fangfei's second visit. They walked and stopped all the way, admiring the flowers and picking willows. It took about two days before they arrived in Linzhang County, which is not far from Yecheng.

They found an inn to stay, because Jiang Yizhou was thinking about looking for Xi Rang, so he asked the waiter in the inn if there were any strange things happening here.

Don't say it, I really made him ask one thing.

Along the Zhanghe River in the east of Linzhang County, there is a Zhangjia Village, in which there is a custom of "Hebo marrying a wife".The so-called "Hebo marrying a wife" is a sacrificial activity to avoid floods.However, this kind of activity uses a beautiful virgin as a sacrifice, and it must be a girl from a good family.The local witches choose a good day and auspicious day, dress up the girl who will be used as a sacrifice as a newlywed bride, and throw it into the bottom of the Zhang River.

This kind of bad habit has been explicitly banned, but it is a pity that it has been repeatedly banned.

Regarding "Hebo Marries a Wife", the most famous person was Ximen Bao, the magistrate of Yecheng during the Warring States Period. He severely punished a group of liars and sorceresses to curb this unhealthy trend.

However, in recent years, floods have occurred frequently, and many villages along the Zhanghe River have raised "Hebo marrying wives". Most villages use noodles instead of living people as sacrifices.

But this Zhangjia Village uses living people.

The girl who was selected as a sacrifice this year was named Fu Tao, she was just 16 years old, and she was engaged to her childhood sweetheart.However, being chosen by Wu Zhu, the great marriage had to fall through, and He Bo was sacrificed.Not long after Miss Fu's death, the Wu Zhu who chose her died in Zhanghe, his stomach seemed to have been cut open by the sharp claws of a wild beast, and all internal organs were gone.

The matter is not over yet. Since then, people in Zhangjia Village will die in the Zhang River every day, and the death conditions are various, and all of them are miserable.Many villagers in Zhangjia Village fled to save their lives.But this is of no use, no matter how far they escape, their bones will definitely appear in the Zhanghe River.

Therefore, Zhangjia Village was called "Waiting to Die Village", and entering the village was equivalent to registering on Yan Wangye's book of seduce the soul.

In this regard, some people speculate that Fu Tao was not a virgin before his death, and he provoked He Bo, which caused such a disaster.Others speculated that it was because of the liar Wu Zhu that he forced Fu Tao to commit herself to a non-existent He Bo, and let her turn into a ghost after death to take revenge on the villagers.

After hearing this, Shen Boru said softly: "It's not the first theory, and the second one is also wrong." As a god, he knew that there is indeed a god in the Zhang River, but it's not Hebo, but a goddess.

Shen Boru and the Goddess of Zhanghe belong to the same water god, and they have had a relationship on several occasions.A person's death in the water is considered a futile death. According to common sense, one cannot leave the water, nor can one step into reincarnation.And the Goddess of Zhanghe is a gentle woman, and for those "little daughter-in-laws" given to her by mortals, she tried her best to arrange for them to reincarnate.

"He Bo" will not take revenge on mortals, and Fu Tao will not leave the water.

What would that be?

The more Shen Boru thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. He was agitated for a while, rubbed the center of his brows, and said slowly: "I want to go to this Zhangjia Village to have a look." His voice is very soft, like spring wind and rain, it is easy to make people feel good.

The waiter in the shop was shocked when he heard the words. Although many Taoist disciples have gone to Zhangjia Village recently, the few in front of him are not suitable for hunting ghosts and demons.Especially the young master who spoke, he was clear and weak, and his stature probably wasn't enough for a ghost to bite his teeth.

Xiao Er couldn't help persuading: "Young master, don't go to that ghost village, it's too dangerous, the fairy master who went there a while ago didn't come out. No one can say what's going on in that village right now."

Shen Boru knew that Xiaoer was kind, thanked him, and said softly, "Brother Xiaoer, where is Zhangjia Village?"

The waiter in the shop was stunned when he saw that he was rushing to die like this, not knowing whether he should tell him or not.After hesitating for a moment, he hesitated, and said, "It's in the southeast of Linzhang County! The three guest officials have a good rest, let's say goodbye!"

After Xiaoer left, Shen Boru asked: "Sanbao, when you were monitoring Xiaoxian in Yecheng, did you hear any news about Zhangjia Village in Linzhang County?"

Bao Chunyan resisted the name "Three Treasures" at first, but after being called for two days, she reluctantly accepted it.Anyway, it's a name, much better than "Hey that who".

Sambo showed shame: "No."

Jiang Yizhou's eyes narrowed slightly, and his smile became a bit sinister: "It seems that the matter of Zhangjiacun was deliberately concealed, and he is quite courageous."

Shen Boru thought for a moment: "Go back to the house first, I need a mirror to see if I can find the Goddess of Zhanghe."

When they returned to the guest room, Jiang Yizhou closed the door, found a small bronze mirror for dressing, and handed it to Shen Boru.Shen Boru took the bronze mirror and put it in a washbasin filled with clean water.

He bit his middle finger and dripped a few drops of blood into the center of the water.Ripples suddenly appeared on the calm water surface, and the small copper mirror that had sunk into the basin was lifted out of the water by several small streams of water, and the smooth side of the light mirror was facing Shen Boru's face.

Shen Boru stared at it with a serious expression: "Zhanghe."

The scene in the mirror changed suddenly, instantly drawing people's attention to the Zhanghe River.Through the picture in the mirror, you can clearly see the situation in the river, and all the algae and fish are visible.

But at this moment, the picture suddenly dimmed, as if it was deliberately blocked by someone.The bronze mirror suspended in mid-air trembled violently, and fell into the water with a bang, the mirror surface was completely shattered, and it could no longer be used.

Before Sanbao could react, he asked in surprise, "What's going on?"

"I was discovered." Shen Boru sighed softly, and he picked up the bronze mirror in the water: "I don't know if the one who stopped me was Zhanghe Goddess, if it wasn't her, it would be terrible."

Sanbao was stunned: "Is there anyone else who dares to fight the gods?"

Shen Boru smiled and said: "There are many people who dare to fight with gods. How many times have there been incidents of smashing temples in history? Especially gods like Zhanghe." He paused and said calmly: "Zhanghe and I It's different. A water god like her exists on the basis of faith. It's not so much that people believe in her, but rather that people like to trade with her.

"People give tribute to the Goddess Zhanghe, and the Goddess will fulfill their wishes. If their wishes are not answered for a long time, smashing is one thing, and the other is the loss of faith. Zhanghe who lost the faith of mortals will die, and then Change to other immortals to inherit the god position."

Triple Treasure said: "Then, does anyone believe in a god?"

If people believe in a god, first of all the god must bless something.Shen Boru is the god of returning to the ruins, if he wants to say bless, he can only protect people from falling into the puddle.This attribute is too tasteless, even if a temple is built, no one will visit it.

Just as Shen Boru was about to answer, Jiang Yizhou beside him patted himself and chuckled: "Yes, I am."

loquacious.
