Mountain God's Wife

Chestnut cakes, bean paste rolls, golden cake rolls, horseshoe cakes, rock candied walnuts, honey peanuts and various candied fruit, Ruan Yan has not been idle since she settled in her new home. Living in the city, the ingredients are much more abundant than those on the mountain. Ruan's mother also believed in the fact that the name of the dish tester was faked for his own benefit.

But after she watched the trays of pastries disappear inexplicably, her eyes were not right.

She couldn't believe her daughter would dump them, much less that she could eat them all!

Under her questioning, Ruan Yan hesitated and said, "I'll find someone to try it."

"Who? You just arrived here. Mother doesn't know what close friends you have."

Facing her mother who was not easy to fool, Ruan Yan had no choice but to tell the truth.

"Mountain God?" Even if you dote on your daughter like Ruan's mother, when she heard her daughter ask the mountain god to try the dishes for them, she was shocked and wanted to hit her on the head with a rice spoon. The daughter has been with the mountain god for a long time, and she has no courage. When you grow up, you dare to command the mountain god?

"You asked Master Shanshen to taste it for us? Including those things that failed?"

The things that Ruan's mother said failed were actually dishes that didn't look very good when they were formed, or dishes that were slightly off-seasoned.

But for the god who saved her daughter, Mother Ruan couldn't enshrine these defective products to the mountain god.

"Sir Shanshen doesn't choose anything." Of course Ruan Yan also wanted to give Zixi the best, but Zixi took the plate away, and it was too late for her to stop it.

"It won't work next time. The one that is enshrined to the mountain god must be the best." On the one hand, to worship the mountain god is to thank the old man for saving his daughter, and on the other hand, he hopes that she can protect his house.

Although the goals are different, Ruan Mu and Ruan Yan have reached an agreement on the result.

"Got it, mother..."

The inn is about to open, and the mother and daughter have endless things to do. Ruan's mother established a good relationship with the neighbors in the surrounding area in just a few days. The neighbors all said that they would come to help or cheer on the opening day.

Originally, the opening of the new store was considered the most lively event in this small county, but before that, there was another event that stole the limelight.

A Taoist priest set up an altar by the Wangshui River, waving a mahogany sword, muttering something.

The surrounding river bank was full of people, all of them came to watch the fun. Many things happened in this ordinary small county town of Wangshui County recently. The first was the serial murder case. Weak Miss Han!

Now that the murderer has not been found, the uncle of the Han family has also died of illness, Mrs. Han has been bedridden by repeated blows, and Master Han seems to have aged dozens of years all of a sudden.

Immediately after this wave of incidents has not subsided, a strange thing happened in Wangshui River. The daughter of the old tofu seller Zhangtou disappeared by the Wangshui River a few days later, naked but without a trace of scars. Said that she saw a water ghost in the river!

This is a big deal, the magistrate of Wangshui County is about to explode, and Han Wuxi started haunting again before he caught it, he felt that the black hat on his head was about to lose its hold!

Of course, he can't deal with the haunted matter. This kind of matter can only be handed over to Taoist priests. For his own black hat, he invited a highly respected Taoist priest to open the altar with a lot of money, so this scene happened.

After experiencing the fake Taoist priest in her own village, it was difficult for Ruan Yan to have a good impression of the Taoist priest, and it was the same for Ruan's mother.

So even if most of the free residents of this small county went to watch by the river, the mother and daughter did not join in the fun.

Ruan Yan heard about what happened by the Wangshui River from others.

"I heard a bang, and the water on the river exploded several feet high! Then a black fish monster jumped out, and the Taoist volleyed in the air, cutting the monster fish in half with a sword. Returning to the river with the body of the fish monster, that Taoist robe has not been touched by a drop of water, it is really a living god!"

This matter has become the talk of the people in Wangshui County after dinner.

Ruan Yan heard the conversation of passers-by, and couldn't help asking: "There are really monsters?"

"Wangshui River is the same as Linshan Mountain. There are many small monsters. But Wangshui River's river god disappeared somehow. Without the governance of the river god, the little monsters here are more chaotic. The fish monster Unfortunately, it wasn't the one that came ashore, but unfortunately it was caught by a Taoist priest."

Yan's ear rang.

"The fish monster is just a scapegoat, so what about the real murderer?" Ruan Yan was used to Zixi suddenly whispering in her ear.

"I've seen the little monster who actually did this, but neither the scapegoat fish nor it has any malice towards humans.

Otherwise, the little human girl would not have appeared on the bank of the river intact, and it was as simple as being a little frightened. "

The little ghost that wandered to the door of Ruan Yan's house that night was actually very timid. Zixi took the time to observe it for a while, but after being frightened by himself, it never appeared at the door of Ruan Yan's house again.

But whenever night falls, it will run from the river to the place where humans live, as if looking for something.

"But those little elves will be more naughty without the restraint of the river god. Don't go there when it's dark, and be careful not to be frightened by them."

"Don't worry, Lord Zixi, I'm not a child, why would I run around at night? But... Lord Zixi, why did the river god who looked at the river disappear?"

Mentioning the disappearance of Wangshuihe River God, Ruan Yan's hand picking vegetables and leaves could not help but slow down.

"This... I'm not very clear." Zixi pondered for a moment and said, "Before I fell asleep, I could feel that Wangshui River already had a river god.

But when I woke up last time, I couldn't feel the divine power here, maybe it was a feather? "

"Fathering? Is it falling? But isn't the god immortal, living as long as the sky?" Ruan Yan was puzzled.

"Silly girl, although the lifespan of immortals is long, it also has an end. Most of them fell because they failed to survive their own catastrophe."

Ruan Yan didn't even notice that the vegetables in her hands fell to the ground. For the first time, she knew that even gods would die.

"Master Zixi, have you survived the catastrophe?"

"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have lived till now." Zi Xi understood Ruan Yan's thoughts, and said, "Don't worry, I will try my best to live longer than the old birthday star of Nanji Zhenjun!"

"Master Zi Xi can definitely do it!" Ruan Yan was amused by Zi Xi's half-joking words, and the tension in her heart disappeared without a trace.

"But it's a little strange, if the river god is gone, the heavens should arrange for a new god to take over, but why hasn't there been any movement in the past few hundred years?

I don't know what else the new Emperor of Heaven can do besides making wild suspicions and forming cliques to make things that can't be put on the table. "Zi Xi muttered to himself.

"You... seem to be very dissatisfied with the Emperor of Heaven?" Ruan Yan thought that the Emperor of Heaven, the head of the gods, was equivalent to the emperor of human beings, but she felt that Lord Zixi did not respect him at all.

"A little brat who relies on the merits of his ancestors to pretend to be extraordinary, and provokes the bottom line of the ancient gods everywhere...

Forget it, what do I tell you about this, forget what I just said, and don't say it out loud. "

Master Zixi really hated the Emperor of Heaven, and the disgust in his tone was undisguised.

Ruan Yan knew from her observations of Zixi these days that she is a very gentle and magnanimous god, and something that can make the other party show disgust is definitely not a fun thing, and she decided to hate it too. .
