Chapter 5 There is a river god beside the couch
“Qingping Town is under Qingping Mountain, and there is no peace in Qingping Town.”
This is what Jiang Sheng said yesterday.
Facts have proved that what Jiang Sheng said is correct.
Qingping Town is in an excellent location, with mountains and rivers. It can be said that the people in the town have Qingping Mountain and Taiping River, two natural treasures, and their lives are worry-free.
But a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters will attract covetous people if it is not protected by strength.
This is the current situation in Qingping Town.
According to Tian Fugui, the biggest threat to Qingping Town is actually not the tigers in Qingping Mountain.
After all, Qingping Mountain stretches for thousands of miles, and the tiger monster eats and drinks freely in this mountain. As long as mortals don't enter the mountain, there is basically no danger.
But the Taiping River is different. The Taiping River is the only way from Qingping Town to the county seat, and it is also the most important hub in the county.
Whether it is merchants traveling from south to north or official documents and orders from the imperial court, they all basically pass through this river.
The prosperity of Qingshan County is inseparable from the Taiping River; and the people of Qingping Town are even more inseparable from this river.
Whether it is grain, oil, salt, cloth and other commercial goods, they are basically transported through the Taiping River.
It can be said that this Taiping River is the source of materials for Qingping Town and even the entire Qingshan County, and it is also the only way to the outside world.
But now, if we want the Taiping River to be windless and waveless, and if we want the whole town and even Qingshan County to continue to be peaceful, we must hold a grand River God Festival every year.
After listening to Tian Guofu's words, Jiang Sheng already had an idea in his mind: "River God Festival, what should be used to sacrifice to the River God? Three animals and six animals?"
Tian Guofu said quietly: "If it is three animals and six animals, that's fine. . Every year, the sacrifices to the River God are made by living people, including children under the age of six. "
"Six pairs of boys and girls are sacrificed to the River God every year. . ”
Twelve children under the age of six will be sacrificed in one year!
A glimmer of light flashed in Jiang Sheng’s lowered eyes: “Can the River God really ensure that you have good weather all year long?”
Tian Guofu nodded: "As long as six pairs of boys and girls are sacrificed every year, the river god will not cause turmoil, and there will be no big winds and waves in the Taiping River. This indeed ensures smooth weather for the entire county."
Jiang Sheng He slightly nodded his head and said, "I understand."
Tian Guofu looked at Jiang Sheng who was walking in front of him expectantly: "Chief Jiang, can you help Qingshan County get rid of this serious problem?"
< br>Jiang Sheng smiled and said: "Mayor Tian, you are really awesome"
Seeing Tian Guofu's confusion, Jiang Sheng shook his head and said with a smile: "Mayor Tian, you are wrong."
>
"It is true that this matter is a major event for our entire Qingshan County, but what does it have to do with me?"
"I am just practicing in this mountain, and I have no grievances with the river god in the Taiping River in the past. If you don’t have any hatred, why do you have to ask for trouble?”
“Mayor Tian, let’s not mention this matter again.”
Seeing Jiang Sheng was about to leave, Tian Guofu said quickly. : "Director Jiang, Director Jiang, but this year, it is our turn to bring out those six pairs of boys and girls in Qingping Town!"
Jiang Sheng paused and turned to look at Tian Guofu: "But, this matter What does it have to do with Pindao?”
Tian Guofu looked at Jiang Sheng blankly, shouldn't it? This Taoist priest is so young, shouldn't it be the time when he is eager for justice?
Why, why is the gentle and jade-like Director Jiang so cold? !
"Mayor Tian, you built a Taoist temple for Pindao, and Pindao is very grateful. But if you expect that Pindao will fight for you, Mayor Tian is wrong."
Jiang Sheng said, stretched out his hand and made a move, spiritual power shot out from his fingertips and cut off a big tree as thick as three people's arms. "If I am willing, I can do it in one day," he said. There is a Taoist temple in this mountain, Mayor Tian, do you understand?" Tian Guofu was a little lost: "Yes, I was reckless."
Jiang Sheng nodded slightly: "Since Qingping Town is willing to build a Taoist temple for Pindao, then Pindao will wait for the day when the Taoist temple is completed. It is difficult to entertain Mayor Tian in this mountain and wilderness, so I forgive Pindao for not accompanying him."
< br>With that said, Jiang Sheng took off in the wind and headed straight to the top of the mountain.
Tian Guofu didn’t come back to his senses for a long time after watching Jiang Sheng go away. When the wealthy people in Qingping Town hurriedly came to find him, they only saw Tian Guofu standing there in despair, with a quilt next to him. Fallen tree.
"Mayor, how's it going? Did Chief Jiang agree?" someone asked eagerly.
Tian Guofu shook his head, with a confused look on his face: "Director Jiang, what does Director Jiang say about this matter?"
A wealthy businessman was anxious: "This, this, we have built a Taoist temple for him, this, how could it be like this!"
Tian Guofu pointed to the downed tree and said: "Chief Jiang just started With one finger, he knocked down the tree as thick as the three men hugged each other, and said that if he was willing, he could build a Taoist temple in one day. "
Hearing this, these rich people were dumbfounded.
According to their ideas, they first built a Taoist temple for Jiang Sheng, and then asked the mayor to complain and asked Jiang Sheng to lend a helping hand. The young Taoist leader Jiang should have readily agreed. Why is his attitude so indifferent?
A wealthy gentleman named Wang said angrily: "It seems that this Taoist temple was built in vain!"
The wealthy businessman surnamed Li also said angrily: "Humph, let's not repair it!"
When Tian Guofu heard this, he became anxious and said quickly: "No, no!"
Seeing these wealthy gentry coming to vote With doubtful eyes, Tian Guofu quickly explained: "Director Jiang said that he wants to see the Taoist temple built. If we really stop cultivating, wouldn't we offend Director Jiang again? Don't forget, he has one man and one sword. Just kill the evil tiger that became a spirit!"
Only after hearing this, these rich gentry came back to their senses.
A gust of mountain wind blew, and each of these rich gentry felt that they were covered in sweat and their hands and feet were cold!
yes!
That Taoist priest Jiang killed the evil tiger in Qingping Mountain with just one sword!
Dao Zhang Jiang is a truly capable monk!
You rich gentry, look at me and I look at you. In the end, I only left a sigh: "This Taoist temple cannot be built unless it is repaired."
"And it must be repaired. If it is If you cut corners, I'm afraid that if Director Jiang gets angry, trouble will happen again."
Another sigh, then silence.
On the top of Qingping Mountain, Jiang Sheng stood with his hands behind his hands, quietly looking at the Taoist temple under construction halfway up the mountain.
When Tian Guofu told him that the river god in the Taiping River ate six pairs of boys and girls under the age of six every year, Jiang Sheng did feel angry in his heart.
But anger will not affect Jiang Sheng's reason. Even if the river god of the Taiping River can only control this section of the Qingshan County basin, its magic power is enough to make people wary.
This section of the Taiping River in Qingshan County is hundreds of miles long. Being able to control hundreds of miles of river to cause trouble is not something that a foundation-building monk can do. At least it is a person who has opened up the purple The monks of the mansion.
But if there really is a water demon in the Purple Mansion Realm in the Taiping River, it will be difficult for Jiang Sheng to live in peace.
Although human beings and demons are not absolutely opposed, under the Qingping Mountain and in the Taiping River, with a water demon in the Purple Mansion Realm beside it, how can Jiang Sheng be allowed to practice safely?
“It’s hard for others to sleep soundly on the side of the bed.”
