Chapter 5 There is a river god beside the couch

"Qingping Town is at the foot of Qingping Mountain, but peace is hard to come by in Qingping Town."

Jiang Sheng said this 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 two natural treasures, Qingping Mountain and Taiping River, and their lives are worry-free.

But in a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, if there is no power to protect it, it will definitely attract covetous attention.

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 decrees from the court, they basically all pass through this river.

The prosperity of Qingshan County is inseparable from the Taiping River; and the people of Qingping Town are inseparable from this river.

Whether it is grain, oil, salt, cloth or other commercial goods, they are basically transported through the Taiping River.

It can be said that this Taiping River is the source of supplies 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: "It's okay if it's just three animals or six animals. Every year, the river god sacrifices are made by living people, and they are all children under the age of six."

"One year, six pairs of boys and girls must be sacrificed to the River God."

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 throughout the year?"

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 nodded slightly: "I understand."

Tian Guofu looked expectantly at Jiang Sheng who was walking in front: "Director Jiang, can you help Qingshan County get rid of this serious problem?"

Jiang Sheng smiled and said: "Mayor Tian, ​​you are really..."

Seeing Tian Guofu's confusion, Jiang Sheng shook his head and said with a smile: "Mayor Tian, ​​you are wrong."

"It's true that this matter is a major event for you and the entire Qingshan County, but what does it have to do with me?"

"I am just cultivating in this mountain. I have no grievances with the river god in the Taiping River in the past and today, so why do I have to ask for trouble?"

"Mayor Tian, ​​please don't mention this matter again."

Seeing that 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, what does this matter 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 gentle Mr. Jiang so cold? !

"Mayor Tian, ​​I am very grateful to you for building a Taoist temple for Pindao. But if you expect that Pindao will fight for you, Mayor Tian is wrong."

Jiang Sheng said, stretched out his hand, and spiritual power shot out from his fingertips and cut off a large tree as thick as three people's arms. "If I am willing, I can establish a tree in this mountain in one day." The next Taoist temple, Mayor Tian, ​​do you understand?" Tian Guofu was a little lost: "Yes, I was rash."

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."

With that said, Jiang Sheng took advantage of 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 big tree that had been knocked down next to him.

"Mayor, how's it going? Did Chief Jiang agree?" someone asked eagerly.

Tian Guofu shook his head and looked confused: "Director Jiang, what does Director Jiang say about this matter?"

A wealthy businessman was anxious: "Well, we have already built a Taoist temple for him. How can this happen?"

Tian Guofu pointed to the downed tree and said, "Director Jiang just knocked down the tree as thick as the three men's arms with just one finger. He also 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 thinking, 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!"

A wealthy businessman surnamed Li also said angrily: "Humph, we won't repair it!"

When Tian Guofu heard this, he became anxious and said quickly: "No, no!"

Seeing the doubtful looks from these rich gentry, Tian Guofu quickly explained: "Taoist Master Jiang said that he wants to see the Taoist temple completed. If we really don't repair it, wouldn't we offend Taoist Director Jiang again? Don't forget it. , he was able to kill the evil tiger that became a spirit with just one sword!"

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 Daoist priest Jiang killed the evil tiger in Qingping Mountain with one man and one sword!

Director Jiang is a truly capable monk!

Rich gentry, you look at me, I look at you, and in the end I just sigh: "This Taoist temple cannot be completed without cultivation."

"And it still needs to be repaired. If we cut corners, I'm afraid that Director Jiang will get angry and cause trouble again."

Another sigh, then silence.

At 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.

The 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 a monk who opened up the Zifu.

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 monsters are not absolute opposites, under Qingping Mountain and in the Taiping River, with a water demon in the Purple Mansion Realm by the side, how can Jiang Sheng be allowed to practice safely?
"It's hard for others to sleep soundly on this side of the bed."
