Woke up and found myself a legend

It's almost lunch time, and every household is billowing with smoke.Looking carefully, there are unexpectedly more people in the village than they expected.There were fewer people on the street, and occasionally a few villagers who passed by looked at them silently, their eyes full of curiosity and alertness.

There seemed to be a lot of children in the village. Apart from the sound of shouting and playing in the wooden house, there were also many children beside the villagers on the road.

They held the child's hands tightly, and if they took something with both hands, they tied the child's waist tightly with a hemp rope and tied the child around their waist.In addition, there are many gray-haired and healthy old people in the village who are walking like flying, but they are quite friendly to them, and they often guide them in the direction enthusiastically.

Tao Yu looked around casually, Fan Hongxi looked around, walked towards a woman who was carrying a basket on her back, holding a basket in both hands, coaxing a man and a woman with two children tied around her waist in a low voice, and asked gently: " Madam, I wonder if you can answer the next few questions?"

The woman seemed to be taken aback, she stared at Fan Hongxi and the group of people behind him with wide eyes, subconsciously grabbed the two ropes around her waist with the hand holding the basket, pursed her lips and said nothing.The two crying children stopped crying and looked at them curiously.

Tao Yu looked over casually, and Fan Hongxi's tone was softer: "I don't mean any malice, I just want to ask which god is the river god worshiped here?"

The woman remained silent, with a hint of uneasiness flashing across her brows and eyes, while the little boy said loudly, "It's a dragon! The river god is a dragon!"

The woman was shocked, and immediately pulled the hemp rope around the little boy's waist forcefully, the little boy was staggered, his mouth shrunk and he was about to cry again.

Fan Hongxi knelt down, clapped his hands lightly under the vigilant gaze of the woman, attracted the little boy's attention, and asked with a smile, "Isn't Lord Dragon God very majestic?"

The little boy choked up, looked at Fan Hongxi and said in a low voice, "I've never seen Lord Dragon God... only the village head and uncles..."

"There is no such thing as a dragon. Sacrifice to the river god is just a tradition in our Gongshui village. Only the village chief can hold the official river god sacrifice in Gongshui village. This child just read too many scripts." The woman spoke very fast, She tugged on the hemp rope on the little boy's body, took a deep breath and continued, "Isn't the fairy elders here for the cannibal monster? The monster has already been chased away by the other immortal elders."

Tao Yu asked in a leisurely tone, "Then can you describe to us what that monster looks like?"

"I haven't seen it, we don't know anything." The woman seemed to be holding back to the limit, and anxiously dropped this sentence, and then dragged the two children away.

Looking at the woman's back, Tao Yu sneered and said, "It's very disturbing."

As he said that, he glanced at the seemingly invisible eyes around him, and said to Fan Hongxi from the bottom of his heart: "That monster with a head under the river really looks like a dragon's head."

Fan Hongxi thoughtfully replied in his heart: "Could it be... that monster with a head is their river god?"

Tao Yu: "Maybe."

Afterwards, Fan Hongxi and the others approached gently and wanted to ask something, but the villagers all backed away one after another, left a vague sentence of "I don't know" and then walked away quickly.

They walked all the way from the end of the village to the head of the village without asking any questions. They only learned that offering sacrifices to the river god is indeed a tradition that has been handed down since ancient times.At last they went to the river that ran round the village and observed.

The river is called the bow water, the river is wide and the water is dirty.The rushing river was very fast, and the light yellow water stirred up white waves, and the bottom of the river could not be seen at all.Spiritual consciousness spread down, and the bottom of the river was also very deep. The messy aquatic plants on the bottom of the river danced along the water flow. It was strange that there were very few fish in the river.Fan Hongxi scanned it with his spiritual sense, but found nothing unusual other than that.

"That thing is a bit miraculous, you can't discover it with your divine sense..."

Tao Yu said, his eyes swept somewhere below the river, and he frowned slightly.

This breath...although it is very weird, but it always feels a little familiar...

Suddenly, Tao Yu felt something and curled his lips.

"Oh, this is not the fairy elders, why did you come to Gongshui?"

A familiar loud voice sounded behind them. Fan Hongxi and the others looked back, and saw the old farmer from before, carrying baskets and farm tools, waving to them standing on the path not far away.

They returned to the trail from the river, and the elderly villagers looked at them and asked again with a smile: "Why did you come to Gongshui?"

Tao Yu didn't bother to talk to him, Fan Hongxi smiled slightly, and asked, "Old man, is the Dragon God in Gongshui Village effective?"

When the elderly villagers heard this, they immediately cheered up: "Immortal Master, people can just call me Old Liu. There is no such thing as a dragon god here. That is a custom passed down. Master Xianchang is listening to some bastard talking nonsense? And came here specially."

Tao Yu glanced at Old Liu and sneered.Since there is no dragon god here, how can this human being subconsciously connect the dragon god with the river god?

Fan Hongxi smiled lightly, and said calmly: "After all, most of the river gods in various places are dragons. It's just a speculation. I saw villagers offering sacrifices to the river god when I passed the bow water with the village chief. I'm a little interested in folk myths, so come and see."

Old Liu waved his hand and said, "There is nothing to see in this bow water. There are not many fish, and the river water is too dirty to wash clothes. We seldom get close to bow water."

Qingshuang asked: "The water here is so fast, how come there are no fish?"

Old Liu Tou laughed, and replied loudly: "How do I know that, if there is no fish, there is no fish."

Because they met Old Liu Tou, it was difficult for them to go near Gongshui, so they simply went back to the small courtyard to have a simple lunch, and then went to explore the deep mountains behind the small courtyard.

After walking a few steps, Tao Yu suddenly raised his eyebrows and said, "There is a human in front, who fell into a pit."

Fan Hongxi and the others swept their consciousness and found a young girl struggling in a pit beside the forest. She immediately said in a deep voice, "She may have fallen into a trap for hunting wild animals. Get her out quickly."

They immediately rushed towards the girl. The girl was not far away from them, but they couldn't hear the cry for help, only the abnormal shaking of some branches and leaves.Their consciousness also found that the girl did not call for help, but gritted her teeth and tried to reach out and shake a short branch above her head.

They rushed to the pit, pushed aside the thick bushes, and saw a gray-faced [-]-year-old girl crookedly leaning against the edge of the pit in a pit nearly one person high.She was stunned when she saw Fan Hongxi and his group, her tear-filled eyes opened wide, and she opened her mouth anxiously, but she could only make a few inconspicuous breath sounds.

Tao Yu and the others immediately understood that it wasn't that the girl didn't call for help, but that she couldn't call for help.

After rescuing the girl from the pit, she sat crookedly on the ground, clutching a big swollen lump on her ankle with a painful expression.Qingsong knelt down and touched the big bag, and said calmly: "It's dislocated, bear with it."

After speaking, he grabbed the girl's foot and broke it hard.Hearing a crisp "click", the girl hissed in pain, tears flashed in her eyes, but she was determined not to shed tears.

Qingzhu quickly took out a bottle of healing liquid to dilute it, and then poured it on the girl's swollen ankle. After a while, the swelling of the ankle quickly subsided, revealing fair skin.

The girl twisted her ankle tentatively, looked up at them in surprise, her clear eyes sparkled.

Fan Hongxi bent down and asked gently: "Are you from Gongshui Village?"

The girl looked up at him, nodded, and tried to stand up.

Fan Hongxi smiled peacefully at her, turned to Qingzhu and said: "Qingzhu, you send this girl back to Gongshui Village first..."

"An'er...An'er—! Where are you?"

A few anxious calls came from afar. When the girl heard it, her eyes widened immediately, and she struggled to walk in the direction of the sound. However, her feet slipped and she tripped over a branch that grew across her body. She almost fell down again. , was held firmly by the arm of the green bamboo closest to her.

Tao Yu glanced over there, and found that it was an anxious woman in rather rich clothes. She was running around like a headless chicken while calling, fiddled with the branches and leaves to find.The girl responds fiercely to the woman's call, so she should be the "An'er" the woman is looking for.Qingzhu helped the girl to go down the mountain, when the woman saw the girl, she rushed towards her in alarm, and the girl also threw herself into the woman's arms with tears in her eyes.

"An'er, An'er, are you okay? You scared me to death..." The woman hugged the girl, checked up and down anxiously, and was relieved when she found that she was fine. Haggard thanked them again and again: "Thank you so much, thank you so much, great kindness..."

As she said that, she noticed the strange faces of Tao Yu and Fan Hongxi, and she couldn't help but startled, subconsciously hugged the girl in her arms tightly, and asked in a low voice: "Who...are you the Master Immortal who came today? "

Fan Hongxi nodded: "Yes, I came here just for that monster, may I ask your Excellency?"

There was a trace of hesitation and struggle on the woman's face, and she gritted her teeth after a while and said, "I am the wife of the village chief, you... you should leave quickly, that monster is no longer here, and it is useless for you to stay here."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Fan Hongxi to speak again, the woman bowed to them and hurried away with the girl.

Fan Hongxi frowned slightly as he looked at their backs.Tao Yu folded his arms and said, "It seems that the village chief's purpose is not pure."

Qing Yu wondered: "Could it be that something happened to the monster with the dragon head they worshiped in the past, and suddenly became mad, and the village chief left us because he was afraid that the dragon head would hurt people again?"

Qingsong shook her head, her tone was slightly cold: "If only it were that simple."

Fan Hongxi was silent for a moment, then said, "Let's continue to look up the mountain."

Tao Yu pointed in the direction of the deep mountain: "There are also three humans over there. There is another one I have seen, and the bone girl is also inside."

Fan Hongxi paused for a moment before realizing who the bone girl was talking about. He smiled helplessly and said, "Maybe they can know something, let's go and see."

The person Tao Yu mentioned was separated from Gongshui Village by a hilltop, in the upper reaches of Gongshui.They crossed the hill and headed in that direction.

Tao Yu pushed aside the branches and leaves with a wave of his hand, and his eyes fell on a small black beetle lying on a tree. He immediately sneered, and split the beetle in two with a wave of his hand.

On the riverside upstream of Gongshui, a young man in a black robe with bare arms and a magic weapon covered in bones rolled his eyes and said flatly, "Eight monks have come and killed my worm."

The girl who was lying on the riverside staring at the rushing water immediately turned her head and asked excitedly, "Who is who?"
