Prehistoric: Senior Brother Xuanmen

Chapter 417 The Wanted Criminal with Ten Taels of Silver (seeking subscription, monthly pass)
"Eight hundred quicksand rivers, three thousand weak water depths, goose feathers can't float, and reed flowers can't see the bottom!"

Because the brocade cassock used for body protection was pawned, the young monk in gray robe stood on the bank, looking at the four lines of small characters on the stone tablet in front of him, his eyelids jumped suddenly.

There are three seal characters on the top of the stele - Liushahe.

Not far away is a turbulent water area that can't see the edge, and behind it is a continuous barren mountain and bad water. It takes several months to see a group of business travelers on the rugged trail.

"Eight hundred li Liusha River... After crossing this river, there will be Xiniu Hezhou!"

Shangjia looked at the river surface and sighed.

Tens of days ago, he was just a small general guarding the gate of Chentangguan General Military Mansion, but now he is involved in the struggle between immortals and gods, and has become the envoy of a great religion.

Biography?

He himself is ignorant of the so-called Mahayana Buddhism!

What pass?

Alas, if I knew it earlier, I would not have agreed to be a preacher of the scriptures.

I really want to turn around and go back to the Great Xia Dynasty...

After hearing about this quicksand river, there are monsters, ghosts, gods, gods and gods everywhere!
It's dangerous!
I don't have mana or supernatural powers like others, and I let myself be the only cassock that can protect my body.

If you really want to encounter danger, you are afraid that you will be the first to suffer!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help sighing again.

At this time, a carefree voice said, "I said, little monk, why are you sighing at the river? Why don't you hurry up and have a drink!"

Shang Jiawei recognized Ao Jia's voice and didn't dare to offend him. He turned around and said, "We, Sakyamuni Buddha, bestowed the dharma name Chang Er, you should call me Master Chang Er!"

Ao Jia was kind, "Okay, okay, does the long-eared monk want to come for a drink?"

Shang Jia turned his head slightly and just saw Yuan Hong and Ao Yi opened their mouths and swallowed two large vats of wine into their stomachs like a whale, and then hiccupped. He said "happy"!
"Eat and drink well. The poor monk is too strong to drink, so he needs to rest for a while."

Shangjiawei resolutely admits.

How many lives does he have to drink with these three guys?

Ao Jia didn't try to persuade him anymore, he turned around and joined the wine fight.

Shang Jia curled his lips slightly, and just as he was about to find a place to lie down, there was no wind and waves on the Quicksand River, and a small boat floated out of the stormy waves with a burly man on a pole.

Good guy!
Even though Shangjiawei is a mortal with naked eyes, he also knows the allusion that the three thousand weak waters of the Liusha River are difficult for gods to cross.

Now there is actually a small boat floating out of the waves, so it goes without saying what the composition of the boatman is.

The boatman sang a long song while pole-holding.

"Natural by nature, mad love to kill, disrespecting immortals and Buddhas, disrespecting gods, former guest of Lingxiao Temple, now a destined person to come here."

As the boat approached, the boatman let out a strange "Huh".

"Why is the monk missing?"

Shang Jiawei, who was hiding behind the stele, was a little happy, if only the boatman couldn't find him.

But in the next moment, the boatman laughed loudly and said: "Monk Wuna, what are you doing hiding behind, don't you want to cross the river?"

The wind is screaming!

Shangjiawei didn't hesitate any longer, and ran towards the direction where Yuanhui and Aojia were.

While running, he yelled: "Help, Lao Yuan! There are monsters who want to eat people—"

Seeing his vigorous figure, the boatman was stunned for a moment, and said angrily, "Monk Wuna, don't spit blood! First, I'm not a monster! Second, I don't want to eat people either!"

Before he finished speaking, three rainbow lights shot towards him, they were Yuan Hong and his brothers Ao Jia and Ao Yi.

Seeing that the helper had arrived, Shang Jiawei stiffened immediately, looked at the boatman and said, "Monster, it's still too late for you to surrender, otherwise..."

Before he could speak, the boatman shook his head in disappointment, and gradually sank with the boat into the water.

"Boatman!"

Yuan Hong took two steps forward quickly, "Don't be in a hurry to leave, the boatman, it's my companion who speaks without restraint..."

"Who is outspoken?"

Shang Jia glared at Yuan Hong dissatisfiedly, "Old Yuan, what do you mean?"

Yuan Hong said unhappily: "This boatman used to be the curtain-rolling general of the Heavenly Court. He was sent to the lower realm because he accidentally broke the glazed cup, and he became a river god in this Liusha River. In this Liusha River of [-] miles, except Da Luo Jinxian can Except for crossing, the rest needs to be ferryed by the river god!

In other words, if we want to cross this quicksand river, General Rolling Curtain must be willing to take us across the river! "

While Yuan Hong was explaining, Ao Jia bowed his hands to the boatman, "I hope the boatman will not take offense and take the four of us across the river."

"The three of you want to cross the river..."

The boat stopped sinking, the boatman smiled slightly, glanced at Jia Jia and said, "But he can't board my boat."

Shangjia's complexion changed slightly, and then he put on a smiling face, put his hands together and said: "The poor monk has mortal eyes, why should General Rolling Curtain have the same knowledge as the poor monk? The poor monk shoulders the important task of preaching scriptures, so he has to go to Lingshan. Please also invite the general It's convenient..."

This remark was both soft and hard, not only apologizing for the crime, but also pointing out that his background is not easy to provoke.

Although Shangjiawei's character is questionable, its ability to observe words and emotions is very good.

The boatman froze for a moment, then glanced at the four of them one by one, "Are you the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures that have been widely spread recently?"

"Exactly!"

Shangjia raised his head slightly, as if "there is someone above me".

He originally thought that the boatman would obediently send him across the river after hearing his background, but he never thought that the boatman would laugh out loud, "So it's you four wanted criminals!"

As he said that, he turned his eyes to Ao Jia and Ao Jia, his eyes glowed with golden light, "The two five-clawed dragons in the Golden Wonderland, compared to you two, are Ao Jia and Ao Yi who escaped from Suolongjing, right? The Great Xia Dynasty offered a reward of ten Ten thousand merit coins want to capture you alive, it seems that this merit is going to fall into my pocket."

The faces of Yuan Hong, Ao Jia, and Ao Yi changed abruptly, and they glanced at Shang Jiawei unkindly.

Fleeing from Xincheng to Liusha River, they hid their identities along the way and escaped the great Xia Dynasty's surveillance envoys. They never thought that they would blew their identities in front of Liusha River. What was even more surprising was that the former rolling shutter general in front of them actually They should be exchanged for meritorious deeds.

This is the rolling shutter general guarding the Lingxiao Palace, the confidant of the Emperor of Heaven!

That kind of magic power has been tempered and practiced, and its Taoism is profound. If it is fought, it will definitely not be easy to deal with!
Just when the three of Yuan Hong were feeling uneasy, Shangjiawei asked curiously: "Ao Jia and Ao Yi were offered a reward of [-] merit coins, so how much was the reward offered to me and Lao Yuan?"

The boatman was stunned for a moment, "Aren't you all in the spiritual realm? It's clearly written on the information platform... Those who capture Yuan Hong alive will get one thousand merit coins; those who capture the long-eared monk alive will get ten taels of silver!"

"Ten taels of silver? They are all merit coins. How come they become ten taels of silver?"

Shangjia was stunned for a moment, and then yelled furiously: "Who issued this reward? It's too contemptuous of people!!!"

"You still have the mind to care about this."

The boatman smiled and said, "But you are of no value to me, and I will not arrest you. As for the three of you..."

His eyes flicked over Ao Jia, Ao Yi and Yuan Hong one by one, making the three of them tense up as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Ao Jia and Ao Yi each pulled out Kui Yi to divide the water thorns, and the other sacrificed colorful ice cloud feathers, and Yuan Hong also sacrificed his own iron rod.

The three of them each held a spiritual soldier in their hands, and they seemed to strike at the slightest disagreement.

The boatman smiled slightly, and his Thoreau staff appeared in his hand.

This spirit weapon is from the Tiangong Workshop, and it was crafted by several master craftsmen from the Moon Palace Thoreau Immortal Wood. Xiangguang!
Just when the spiritual soldiers of the two sides were exhausted and were about to fight, Shang Jiawei suddenly said: "Hold on! The poor monk has something to ask the general."

The boatman froze for a moment, then said impatiently: "It's none of your business here, step aside, lest you accidentally hurt your life with your hands, and let me add another crime for nothing."

Hearing this, Shang Jiawei, who was still a little nervous at first, became more determined, and laughed loudly: "General, please listen to the poor monk, we don't really need to do anything... aren't you just seeking merit?
It happens that we don’t have many other things, but we have many merits!

As long as you take us across the river, we will pay you [-] merit coins. Wouldn't this be much easier than capturing us and going to the Great Xia Dynasty to receive the reward? "

Hearing this, Ao Jia, Ao Yi and Yuan Hong looked at Shang Jiawei at the same time, but saw that his expression was normal, as if a hundred thousand merits were just a drop in the bucket to him.

The boatman glanced suspiciously at the four of them, "Do you really have so many merits?"

"Of course!"

Shang Jiawei picked up the nine-ringed tin stick that fell to the ground because of panic before, and lightly knocked it on the ground. With the ringing sound of "jingle dong dong", he put his palms together with one hand and said naturally: "Poor monk!" But the disciples of Mahayana Buddhism, if they don’t have profound merits and virtues, how dare they go west to preach?”

The boatman narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "If that's the case, then I'll believe you once!"

Ok?
Actually agreed!
Yuan Hong, Ao Jia, and Ao Yi looked at each other, but they were all confused.

The family knows their own affairs.

Among the four of them, only Yuan Hong has accumulated some merit, but it is still far from the number of one hundred thousand.

Not to mention the brothers Ao Jia and Ao Yi.

They are all karma-ridden goods.

But Shangjiawei is the old god, with an attitude of "don't panic, I have everything".

At this time, the boatman had already lifted the boat out of the water as promised.

Yuan Hong and the others looked at Shangjiawei, who boarded the boat without hesitation.

Although they were at a loss, they had no choice but to follow.

The boatman put on a long pole, and the boat immediately turned into a rainbow and flew to the opposite bank.

A moment later, Hongmang stopped on the other side of the Liusha River.

The boatman leaned on the long pole, looked at Shangjiawei with a half-smile, "It's time to pay the boat fare."

Shangjia nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "It's easy to say, easy to say... I don't know how much the boat cost?"

He had stepped off the boat when he spoke.

The boatman narrowed his eyes, and Thoreau's staff appeared in his hand.

"We agreed, one hundred thousand merit coins!"

"Ok?"

Shangjia's complexion changed slightly, and he sternly shouted: "It takes one hundred thousand merits to cross the river? You are blocking the river and robbing! I will report to the heavenly court and let the Judiciary Tianshen Temple investigate the fact that you have been the river god in Liusha River all these years. What did you do when…”

Before he finished speaking, the boatman sneered and said, "So you plan to renege on your debt?"

Shang Jiawei also sneered, "I'll pay now, do you dare to take it? Are you not afraid that I will go to heaven?"

"You are a wanted man! No one will believe you!"

"Do you think the Heavenly Court will care about the wanted criminals who offer a reward of ten taels of silver? What's more, it's even worse for you to privately collect the merit coins of the wanted criminals to help them escape!"

"you wanna die!"

"Why are you afraid? Lao Yuan, Lao A, Lao B, you can do it now!"

Only then did Yuan Hong and Ao Jia come to their senses, and one after another they sent out their spiritual soldiers to fight against the enemy.

Ao Yi was a little slow to react, and asked strangely: "Why can't we do it before, why do we have to do it now?"

Shang Jia rolled his eyes at him, "If we couldn't win the fight just now, or killed him, how can we cross the river?"

Ao Yi: "... makes sense!"

"its not right……"

Ao Jia asked curiously: "If he does something on the boat, wouldn't we suffer a lot?"

Shangjia smiled and said: "He dare not do anything on the boat."

"Why is this? Liusha River is his territory!"

Ao Jia was even more puzzled, and even Yuan Hong looked over curiously.

Shang Jiawei said: "It is precisely because Liushahe is his domain... He is a close minister of the Emperor of Heaven, and he was demoted to Liushahe because of a mistake, so he must always be thinking of atoning for his sins so that he can return to heaven!
That's why he is greedy for merit and wants to arrest you in exchange for rewards!

But he doesn't dare to kill anyone, even if it's me, a wanted criminal!
That would increase his karma, and the day of his return to the Heavenly Court would be even more distant... Am I right, General Rolling Shutter? "

"So you've been plotting against me since you knew my identity?"

The boatman panted heavily, glared at Shangjia and said slightly: "Are you so sure that I dare not kill?"

Shangjia smiled and said: "The Liusha River is the traffic link between the two continents. As the river god of this place, if you dare to kill or injure people, I am afraid that you will be sent to the god-killing platform by the human supervisor!"

The boatman almost exploded with anger, but he had to admit that the other party was right!
He really didn't dare to kill people, and they didn't have the certainty of winning against Yuan Hong!

Although he is the strongest among the people present in terms of Taoism, he has a numerical advantage on the opposite side.

If he was sure of winning three, he would have done it directly before, so why would there be so much nonsense!
After hesitating again and again, the boatman still gave Shangjia a slight look.

"This time I admit it, but I will remember the karma of one hundred thousand merits!"

Shang Jia breathed a sigh of relief, put his hands together and said with a smile: "Then wait until the poor monk becomes a Buddha, and then pay back!"

Boatman: "..."
