Dust and prehistoric

Xianjun Jiangze walked for a while and saw some common people putting on airs. Although he was curious, he thought that he was not a mortal. It's all about people's sophistication, and I don't want to cause unnecessary communication troubles, so I walked past these busy people incognito.

Walking into a town called Yanhe City, just after entering the city gate, I met a group of people chasing a woman in red, and the woman was caught after running for a long time.

The woman in red cried and begged while struggling: "Please, let me go, I don't want to pay homage to the river god, I don't want..."

"It's such an honor to send you alone to the river god in exchange for the safety of the whole city. You should feel honored!" The person holding the woman did not forget to tie the rope around the woman.

"No...don't...please!"

"You, save your energy and obediently be the bride of the River God tomorrow!"

"No...no...you will be punished...don't..."

"The river god? The bride? There is such a saying, and I don't know who the river god in this area is, he is so rampant. There is also such a river god who has a wife!" Jiangze hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to follow These people went to see what was going on.He muttered, "It's good to see the excitement!"

A lot of people gathered at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion in Yanhe City, only the screams were heard in the crowd, the onlookers pointed and pointed, the woman who was dragged just now knelt in front of the City Lord, grabbed his robe and begged bitterly .But the city lord threw her away mercilessly, "Let you go, if you let you go, the God of the River will not let the people of Yanhe City go. Take it as a contribution to your father and fellow countrymen!" After speaking, he instructed his subordinates Tie her up.

Jiangze appeared among the crowd, walked to the side of the crowd and asked softly, "What's going on, why is that woman crying so sadly?"

The man looked at Jiangze and wondered, "Is the young master a foreigner?"

Jiang Ze nodded.

"Young Master, I don't know. This girl is going to be sent to the River God as a bride. It's hard to say. Every time it comes to the rainy season, I have to send a girl to be a bride to the River God. Otherwise, the River God will be angry. Then there will be a flood that will submerge the entire Yanhe City!"

"The God of the River marrying a wife, well, this is a new thing!" Jiangze became more and more interested in this matter! "But I don't think this woman seems very willing!"

"Who would be willing to die like this! But there is no other way, who made the River God so powerful! If you don't send a girl to the city, everyone in the city will suffer!"

"Well, it's worth exchanging one person's life for your entire city. When did this kind of sacrifice start? Can you see the God of Crossing the River?"

"I remember that it was three years ago, and two of them have already been sent. Hey, the young master asked so many questions, maybe he wants to intervene at this time!"

Jiang Ze hastily denied, "Where is that, my lord...I am just curious, just come and see the excitement!"

Walking on the street, holding the jade flute in his hand all the time, he smiled and muttered: "This matter has nothing to do with me, why bother to join in the fun, if you get into trouble, it's not easy to deal with it." Ze Xianjun never likes trouble, but he will choose to avoid it if he can choose to avoid it, because he is too lazy to waste energy.

After walking for a while, I don't know why but turned around and returned the same way, "It's just to watch the excitement, so you should see the last one!"

Passing by the sacrificial altar incognito, it seems that the arrangement has been completed, and there are still a few people checking the follow-up on the altar, a gust of wind blows through, making several people shiver. "Hey, let's go quickly!"

"Hey!" Jiangze shook his head, he just flicked his sleeves just now.

The setting sun is infinitely good, but it is near dusk, Jiangze is standing on the lake, the breeze is blowing, the hair is flying, and the melodious flute sound is floating on the lake, mellow and ethereal.The light at dusk elongated the slender figure of Xianjun Jiangze.There were schools of fish surrounding Jiangze one after another, and some fish sighed, "It sounds good, it sounds good, it sounds good, I haven't heard such a good song!" They even jumped out of the water from time to time, quite pleasant.

At the end of the flute, Jiangze put away the jade flute, and was very happy to see the fish boiling around him.Enjoying many adoring gazes, of course it is a joyful mood.

"Peacock Immortal?" A fish came out of the water and called. "Didn't you already leave?"

"Xianjun, this person is actually a Xianjun, no wonder he is so handsome."

"That's right, this is the Immortal Peacock who can fly to the sky, or the Immortal Peacock with white feathers. Naturally, it cannot be compared with others."

Jiangze just stood in the school of fish enjoying the purest compliment.Laughing, "The memory of all fish is very short, and it seems that they are not all. You guys still remember me!"

"Fish's memory is short, these are fabricated by those ignorant humans, they must not be taken seriously!"

Jiangze nodded thoughtfully: "Well, that makes sense! By the way, how about the song just now?"

"That is simply the sound of nature, the sound of flowing streams is not so beautiful!"

"Hahaha..." Jiangze became more and more complacent. "Before, there was the prince playing the qin, and three birds were dancing in the court. Later, there was me, Xianjun Jiangze, playing the flute, and the fish jumped in the water. Hmm, interesting, interesting !"

"Who is Prince Changqin? Is it very powerful? It must not be as powerful as you, Xianjun!"

Jiangze smiled awkwardly when he heard the words, Prince Changqin is a figure who exists like a god of war, how can he be beyond the reach of a little fairy like him.Jiangze decided to avoid such embarrassing things: "Why don't we talk about this topic, I actually came to ask you for help with something!"

"What is the matter with the fairy, as long as the fairy speaks, the little ones will definitely do their best, and they will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

"Uh...hehe, it's serious to go through fire and water, but it's just a trivial matter! Have you heard of the river god marrying a wife in this water area?"

A fish jumped up and said: "The river god married a wife, of course I heard about it, I saw it with my own eyes last year, the so-called marrying a wife is just to teach these humans a lesson! These mortals are so cruel, there should be a river god Such a monster race will punish them!"

"And me, and me, I saw it too. I saw the river god eat the sacrificial woman with my own eyes."

Jiang Ze stared: "The River God is so cruel?"

"Hmph, cruel, those humans are even more cruel than the River God. They always arrest us back without any scruples and kill us in all kinds of cruel ways. Speaking of which, we have to thank the River God. We should let the River God educate them!"

"Eh..." Jiangze looked at the fish in the water in disbelief, but was speechless and could only smile awkwardly, "Hehe...it makes sense, it makes sense!" After all, the position he was in Different, what can be thought of is naturally different.

"Isn't the fairy asking about this matter like meddling in this matter?" You Yu'er asked.

"Hehe, I just want to see what kind of river god this river god is!" Yu'er's words made Jiangze dare not directly admit that he wanted to intervene in this matter.

"Xianjun must want to help those cruel humans"

"My way of cultivation is to bless all things, and I will definitely not favor any side!" Jiang Ze didn't know that he would speak such an official language. "It's just that this is a human life after all! If no one cares about it, more innocent people will lose their lives at the mouth of the so-called river god. It's okay if I didn't meet him, but if I did, it must be." It can’t be treated as if it didn’t happen.”

"Hmph, those people's lives are their lives, isn't our fish's life our life?"

Jiangze replied: "Even for the creatures in the world, life is equally important!"

"Then why didn't Xianjun come to rescue us when we were caught and eaten by the mortals?"

Jiangze smiled awkwardly again and said, "Hehe, I haven't met you yet."

Yu'er: "Then the fairy came to us because he wanted us to help you and those mortals?"

"Are you willing to help?" Jiang Ze was not used to these fish's quick change of mind.

"The fairy has said so, what else can we do, besides, if all human beings are eaten up by the river god, then the next target of the river god will be us weak fish! Anyway, the result is the same, so what else can we do?" It’s better to help Xianjun do this.”

"Uh..." Jiangze couldn't help admiring the fish's insight.

Yu'er exclaimed: "Isn't the fairy asking for a man to disguise himself as a woman to marry the river god instead of that woman?"

"Hahaha, of course not! Actually, all you need to do is help me keep an eye on the girl who sacrificed tomorrow. As for the river god, I will deal with it."

In the early morning of Liri, Jiangze always liked to lie on a soft couch, but Immortal Jiangze, who was not used to sleeping on a hard bed, actually lay down on a branch all night.In a daze, he was awakened by the people who came to see the sacrifice.Holding the jade flute, he shook his head helplessly, "Hey, how can it be so easy to do favor to all things!" He jumped up and landed on the ground.

Both sides of the road leading to the sacrificial carrier are full of onlookers, big and small. The woman who was used for the sacrifice was carried on a raft and walked through the crowd solemnly. The woman was still in fiery red clothes, and was used The rope tied her limbs and waist, and the woman in red could only look at the blue sky with her eyes open.From time to time, a few birds flew by in the sky.She didn't want to accept her fate, but there was nothing she could do. Tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes and wet her hair.Looking forward to someone falling from the sky to save her from fire and water, but she might be disappointed.

On the sacrificial altar, there was a lot of incense, and a wooden stake was planted next to the incense burner. There were several skulls on it. A wizard in a strange dress was swinging and jumping wildly with a rattle, and he was chanting nonsense. , Maybe he himself doesn't know what he is writing.Jiangze didn't join the crowd, but stood on the treetops on the nearby mountain, climbing up and looking into the distance, watching the movement on the lake.The woman was pushed into the lake by several men with a raft.Some stones were also placed on the raft. The strange thing is that the raft has been floating on the lake without falling into the water. Jiang Ze smiled, "Not bad! It's quite reliable."

Noisy gradually appeared on the shore, no one knew why the woman did not fall into the water, but no one knew that the hundreds of fish under the stretcher supported the woman and the stretcher.Jiangze stroked the jade flute in his hand, and the rope tied to the woman's body was instantly untied.

In the scorching sun, instead of falling down, the raft began to float back to the shore.This frightened the crowd: "What the hell is going on?"

After the raft slowly landed, I don't know what the wizard on the altar said to the city lord, so he added some stones to the raft and pushed it back into the lake.After floating for a while, the raft floated back again, and the onlookers became more restless.With the scorching sun on his head, Immortal Jiang Ze, who was waiting by the side, was also a little irritable. "River God, you are disappointed by other people's Immortal Monarch, so show up quickly if you have the ability."

"Could it be that the God of the River is dissatisfied with sending this woman back?" Someone beside him made such a voice.

"I see, it must be that she has done something shameful, she is not clean, and the God of the River knows how to dislike her!"

"Oh, if this is the case, then what should I do? It would be bad to anger the River God!"

"Hey! People's hearts!" Jiangze shook his head helplessly, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a faint light in the wizard's robe. Jiangze felt strange and looked towards the light. He saw that the hands in the wizard's robe were no longer ordinary people. His hand was a sharp claw, and the long nails were very conspicuous under the sunlight, and there was a cluster of blue smoke on the palm.Jiangze frowned, "The river god who has been waiting for a long time is actually right in front of his eyes!"

The wizard stared straight at the red-clothed woman floating in the lake with red eyes and muttered, "The weak school of fish dare to fight against me!" The claws in the repair robe moved slightly and opened, and the green smoke quickly moved towards the lake. Flying up, straight to the bottom of the raft, it seems that he found the fish at the bottom, Jiangze broke a branch at random, and quickly threw it out, the two phases collided on the lake surface to emit a bright fire, so the onlookers were even more stunned of the people.The wizard didn't expect that someone would intervene. Just as everyone was still having different opinions, Jiangze was already flying and standing on the top of the wooden stake on the altar, smiling lightly, looking magnificent.
