Jiu Ling

When Jiu Ling and Mo Mo arrived in the human world, they naturally didn't know how much the gods in the heaven world would gossip after being idle for so many years.

In the beginning, it was only the innocent Suzaku God Sovereign, and then, because of Feng Huang's reprimand, the scope of the gossip became larger and larger...so big that Taihao had to call everyone together again!

"Suzaku, what's the matter with you!" Taihao had a headache.Most of these gods are not under their own jurisdiction, they are all at the same level.

Suzaku is a handsome man. Hearing this, he was also wronged, so he said angrily: "I just didn't realize who was next to Daoist Meng Hong at first, so I said a few more words and praised him for being good-looking. Who knows What will it look like!"

"What about you?" Taihao looked at Fenghuang again, "Brothers fight? Fight? Four-cornered love?"

Feng Huang's air-conditioning made Geng Chen beside him take a few steps back, and said in a cold voice: "The heavens are now full of smog, it's time to clean it up!"

"So, it's all fake?" Taihao also gossiped.

Suzaku pouted, Feng Huang was even more unhappy.

"Where there is no wind, there are no waves?" Nine-Tailed Fox desperately said, "The two Daoist Lords, Daoist Lord Wuqing really looks so good-looking."

"I haven't seen it before." Fenghuang said coldly: "I'm going to rectify the atmosphere here, you discuss it slowly, and leave!"

After finishing speaking, Feng Huang went out, Geng Chen pulled him, but was glared at him instead.

As for Suzaku, he gave Nine-Tailed Fox a cold look, "It's good-looking, it's really good-looking, and look at Daoist Meng Hong's attitude towards him, Nine-Tailed Fox, stop pestering him."

"You..." Nine-Tailed Fox was unhappy.

"Okay!" Taihao was busy trying to smooth things over, he didn't want his palace to become a place of quarrels.

"Suzaku, what's the matter with your attitude towards Wuqing?"

Only then did Suzaku seriously answer, "I haven't communicated much with them, but with just a few words, I feel that Daoist Meng Hong said something well."

Suzaku seemed to think carefully about the wording, and then added: "I feel that Daoist Wuqing and Daoist Menghong are somewhat similar. Of course, they have different appearances and temperaments. This is just an abstract feeling. They, how to say, are all kind person."

"Kindness?" Few could understand what that word meant.

Suzaku nodded earnestly, "Meng Hong treats people with gentleness and has a heart for the common people; while the Ruthless Taoist Lord, although relatively indifferent, will not change his attitude towards the people around him, no matter how high or low he is."

"The little immortals who have just ascended look up to Menghong's mythology. Every time Menghong travels, someone will ask him for advice on cultivation. They don't know Wuqing, so when I came back, I saw Wuqing and Menghong guiding them together. Lord Ruthless, very patient, he should be the kind of person who can look at you indifferently, but when you ask him for help, he will definitely lend a helping hand."

"The evaluation is very high." Taihao said.

Suzaku nodded, "Heavenly Emperor can say hello to Meng Hong, and observe their itinerary with the Qiankun Mirror..."

After Jiuling received Taihao's message, he discussed with Momo. Momo didn't care, and Jiuling would naturally not refuse.

Mo Mo wanted to look around, but Jiu Ling didn't look for any destination, and just went with the situation.

The place where they landed was an ordinary small place, with no villages or shops in front of them.

"Are we going to sleep in the wilderness?" Jiu Ling's tone was full of curiosity.

Mo Mo answered calmly: "Meng Hong Daoist needs to sleep?"

Jiu Ling was helpless, "Didn't I bring you here to experience life!"

In the end, they still didn't sleep on the streets.After walking for a while, the two saw an ox cart coming back from the town. After discussing it, they took a ride to their village.

Longshen Village, there is a river in front of the village. It is said that a dragon god once appeared in the river, hence the name.

Two handsome young men came from the village, they were generous in their actions, their clothes and conversation were extraordinary, naturally many people came out to watch.

However, when Jiu Ling said that he wanted to stay for a period of time, the expressions of these people changed slightly, and no one responded. Even though Jiu Ling said that he could be responsible for the accommodation fee, no one agreed.

In the end, the old man pulling the ox cart sighed, "Young man, follow me first, alas!"

The surrounding villagers all had some pity in their eyes, and left with a sigh.

"There is a monster around this village." Momo whispered.

Jiuling nodded, "I feel it too. I don't know if you have noticed, Momo. When they saw us, they had some surprises in their eyes, as well as some fear and sadness. I guess these have something to do with the evil spirit."

Mo Mo said "um", and the two of them didn't speak any more, they quietly followed the old man to his house.

The houses of the elderly are not small, at least it is not a problem to live in the old, middle and junior generations.However, the whole house was empty, apparently only the old man was alone.

The old man brought them into the house, poured them a glass of water, and sighed: "Young man, I will clean up for you tonight. At least you will have a good night, and you don't need to pay. But tomorrow morning, you have to leave!"

Jiu Ling took a sip of water, "Thank you, old man, but can I ask, what happened? I can feel that the old man is doing it for our own good."

The old man sighed, "These are all matters of our village, you should stop asking about them."

"Is it because of the so-called 'Dragon God'?" Mo Mo said directly, to the point.

The old man was startled, and hurriedly closed the door, "Be careful, be careful!"

Seeing that these two people had a tendency to break the casserole and ask the end, the old man was also helpless, sighed again, and slowly explained the reasons for everything...

The villagers of Longshen Village have always believed in the Dragon God. According to legend, the Dragon God is indeed protecting the villagers here. The weather is good, there is no war, and people live a long life...

However, since the old man was born, what he saw did not quite match the rumors.

It can't be said that way, it should be said that it is a legend, and a part is missing.

The Dragon God protects one side of the world, but there are conditions.Every year in mid-August, Longshen Village holds an event to worship the Dragon God.Dragon God likes beautiful boys and girls, he will inform his favorite people in advance, and then, in the sacrificial ceremony, send them to the water and offer them to Dragon God...

"I don't know if you have seen that the rest of the people in our village are all tall, and they are much different from the two brothers." The old man's voice was sad and weak, "It will be August soon, Dragon God People will be selected at the beginning of the month, two little brothers, you should leave tomorrow!"

"Then why don't the people in your village leave?" Jiu Ling was a little confused.

"How do you get there?" The old man smiled wryly. "The war is raging outside. If you go out of the village, you have to spend money to do everything. We farmers can't survive outside! On the contrary, in the village, as long as you don't grow well, you will be safe."

"Then what if there is no one the Dragon God likes in the village?" Jiu Ling continued.

The old man sighed, and his voice became a little numb, "Use cattle and sheep as sacrifices, but the harvest in the village will be reduced by half that year. Save a little, and you can live. Anyway, the powerful ones who can live outside , are all gone. The rest of us are used to it.”

After the old man finished speaking, he emphasized again, "The two young brothers should not have a family, right? If so, then hurry up and leave. The Dragon God doesn't care whether you are from the village or not. There was a new daughter-in-law who came to her at this time The prospective in-law’s family, but the dragon god took a fancy to it and took her away personally. The family of the mother-in-law has been here for a long time!”

"Presumptuous!" Jiu Ling was a little angry, "Where is this a god? This is obviously a demon! Didn't any of you find a Taoist priest to take him in!"

"Oh, darling, you can't talk nonsense! The Dragon God forgives the sin, forgives the sin..." The old man hurriedly stopped Jiu Ling, cupped his hands in prayer, and muttered something in his mouth.

Jiu Ling frowned and wanted to say something, but Mo Mo pulled him and shook his head slightly.Some things are engraved in your bones and you can't change them.

"Old man, I was wrong." Jiu Ling could only pull the old man and apologize softly, "Since Lord Dragon God didn't blame him just now, he must not care. If you are worried, old man, my brother and I can leave now!"

The old man sighed again, and waved his hand, "Forget it, I'm a widowed old man, I don't have a few years to live, and I'm not afraid of the Dragon God's blame. It's not until August, and the Dragon God probably won't come out. It's dangerous to travel now, Take a good rest tonight, and leave quickly tomorrow morning."

Jiuling nodded, "Then thank you, old man, for disturbing me."

The old man shook his head again, led the two of them to the bedroom, and walked to an obviously dilapidated hut next to them.

After closing the door and looking at the furnishings in the house, Jiu Ling looked a little depressed, "Here, the children of the elderly should have lived here. Looking at the furnishings of these houses, they should have been a very happy family. Mo Mo, tell me, they are left, or..."

"It doesn't make any sense to think about it any more." Mo Mo said coldly: "If you don't like it, you just take that monster away."

Jiu Ling shook his head, "It's different, even if I kill the monster, the dead people can't let them come back."

"If you want to, there's nothing you can't do!" Mo Mo was still indifferent.

Jiu Ling was completely helpless, and poked Mo Mo's head, "Life and death are up to the sky, I can indeed find the souls of those people, and even reshape such a person. However, so many people die in vain every day, and everyone dies. Help, I can't do it either."

"Then you shouldn't be here to feel sorry for the useless work. You can't save so many people. Kill that evildoer, you can save more people."

"Are you comforting me?" Jiu Ling looked up into Mo Mo's eyes.

There was a flash of astonishment in those black, pure and beautiful eyes like ink, and then a rare dodge.

Jiu Ling laughed out loud: "Okay, since Mo Mo has said so, let's stop thinking about what's there and what's not. Go to bed, and after leaving here tomorrow, we'll go check on that Dragon God. What kind of monster is it!"

Mo Mo wanted to refute Jiu Ling's words, but suddenly felt as if... really comforting someone?

Mo Mo has never been a person who dare not face himself, but some emotions are too strange to understand.
