Chapter 135 Down the Mountain
"That's good."
"Junior brother, when will you take that step?" Monk Kongkong said.
"Wait a moment." Monk Kong raised his head and looked at the Bodhi tree above his head.
At the foot of the mountain, Wu Sheng didn't feel that his mood suddenly got much better after coming down the mountain. There was no sense of relaxation or letting go of oneself. He was still thinking about the conversation Monk Kong had with him.
"Lanruo Temple has many stories!"
He did not continue to ask, but kept it in suspense, fearing that he would not want to go back if he really went down the mountain.
This time when he went down the mountain, he took with him the stick, the treasure made of unknown material, and a suitcase. The wig was changed, and it was a little shorter. This was because Monk Kong Kong personally disguised him, and with Monk Kong Kong's craftsmanship,
It made his complexion a little yellower and added a few pockmarks to his face. There were not many changes, but there was another person. Now the Taoist priest Zhang Zhen who fought against Changsheng Temple last time was standing in front of him.
You probably wouldn't be able to recognize who he is, let alone the sea arrest warrant that he painted doesn't really look like him in the first place.
Even so, he was still very careful and tried to avoid crowded places along the way. He traveled slower during the day and faster at night.
Pengze is hundreds of miles northwest of Jinhua, much farther than Kuaiji.
There are many mountains and rivers along this road.
He traveled very quickly at night, but he reached the vicinity of Kecheng in just one day.
This is also a traffic hub, known as the thoroughfare of four continents and the head of five roads.
There are many people coming and going.
However, when he arrived at Kecheng, it was already dark and the city gate was closed. He found an abandoned house outside the city and spent the night, before entering the city in the early morning of the next day.
When I entered the city, I met a group of people outside the city, beating gongs and drums, wearing red and green clothes, carrying cattle and sheep, walking towards the east. It was very lively.
Wu Sheng asked a passerby and found out that they were preparing to sacrifice to the river god.
"River God?"
"Yes, you are a foreigner, right?"
"yes."
"No wonder."
This man told Wu Sheng the reason for the incident. It turns out that there is a Qujiang River near Kecheng, which can be regarded as a big river. There are many direct currents on this big river. The nearest tributary to Kecheng is called Wuxi. Recently, it has been
One after another, fishing boats sailing on the river sank into the river, causing people on both sides of the river to be frightened. People on the riverside, who depended on the water for drafts, did not dare to approach the river. How would they live in the future? Many old people said
The river god was angry and needed to be sacrificed. Hence the scene in front of him.
"River God, are you afraid it's a monster?" Wu Shengxin said.
After looking at Kecheng, which was very close at hand, and then turning to look at the sacrificial procession in the distance, Wu Sheng turned around and entered Kecheng.
The incident with the River God was just a chance encounter in passing and had nothing to do with him.
After entering Kecheng, he walked around Kecheng, looking for a place that sold information similar to the "Sanxiang Tower" in Kuaiji City. After walking around for a whole morning, he actually found a place, but it was
There was a teahouse. There was also a restaurant nearby. When it was time to eat, Wu Sheng ordered some food from a nearby restaurant and ate and watched.
In just one meal, Wu Sheng figured out some of the ways. Sixteen people went in, but only fifteen came out.
"This is it."
Just when he was about to go in and take a look, suddenly a group of people hurriedly ran past on the street.
"what's up?"
"Hey, someone outside the city was offering sacrifices to the God of the Wuxi River. As a result, a big wave suddenly arose in the Wuxi River. Not only the sacrificial animals were swept down by the waves, but also seven people."
"seven people!"
"No, the wave came suddenly, and the man and the animals were swept down and disappeared."
"There's no one left?"
"At that time, anyone who dared to get close would run away and disappear. According to me, they were not river gods at all, but river monsters!"
"Look, it's a real person with the concept of immortality!"
Someone in the crowd shouted. Wu Sheng looked up and saw three figures standing several feet high in the air, flying across the sky like big birds.
"Were they alerted too?"
Wu Sheng looked up at the teahouse diagonally opposite, thought for a while, and walked in.
"Hello, sir, would you like to sit inside and have some tea?" As soon as we entered the teahouse, a waiter came to greet us.
"If you don't want to drink tea, let's inquire about something."
"What's going on? Tell me." the waiter said with a smile.
"You may not know what I'm asking about. You have to ask other people."
"Others?" After hearing this, the waiter in the shop looked at Wu Sheng.
"That will cost money."
"Isn't it money to drink tea?"
"Please wait a moment."
Not long after the waiter left, a man came over and took Wu Sheng to the back hall, and then passed through a corridor to a courtyard. The layout was almost exactly the same as in Kuaiji Mansion.
Walking in the corridor, I also felt something brushing over my body. It was someone hiding in the dark.
The man took him to a room and asked him to wait for a moment. Soon someone brought him a cup of fragrant tea. He didn't drink it, so he just sat there and waited quietly. After a while, a man in his forties came.
The man is wearing a green shirt and a Confucian crown, dressed like a teacher.
"What information does this young master want to inquire about?"
"What happened in Wuxi outside the city?" Wu Sheng said.
"This news is cheap, one hundred taels."
Wu Sheng took out a banknote from his sleeve and handed it to the man.
"In the Wu River, a black fish turned into a monster."
"Black fish? I thought it was a dragon."
"Jiaolong is a rare big monster. If it is really near Kecheng, it will be a big trouble." The man opposite, dressed as a teacher, said with a smile.
"The second question is, if it is really a dragon, how should we deal with it?"
This is a question that Wu Sheng had thought about before he came. He had considered the possibility that he went to Pengze but did not get the dragon binding rope. What should he do? You can't put your eggs in one basket.
, to be prepared for a rainy day, he had to make plans early, so he came to Kecheng and found this place. Of course, he could also ask when he went to Pengze, but he thought it was better to ask here. After all, it was so far away. If something happened,
, which is also safer.
"Can you be more specific about how to deal with it?"
"Treasure, a magic weapon that can subdue the dragon." Wu Sheng said clearly.
"To be more specific, whether it is a dragon or a dragon, the two are completely different concepts." The man opposite him was very serious.
One dragon and one dragon are different in Taoism for more than 500 years, just like a giant and a human immortal. The difference is only one realm, but a world of difference.
"Jiao."
"Please wait a moment." The man left the room.
