Tomb of Immortals

Chapter 285 Shama Town

"Ah! Ah! I don't want to die, don't..."

"Lord River God, please forgive me—"

The two monks in the Valley of No Cares woke up almost at the same time. Before they passed out, the shock caused by the Toad River God was too strong. After waking up, they were still terrified. The toad river god who was showing off his power has disappeared.

"Where is the Lord River God?" The two looked around in shock, but saw the boatman shaking the oar leisurely, but they didn't see the toad River God, let alone the white-robed young monk.

The boatman woke up one o'clock before them, because Baotian came back for a trip, so he woke him up first and told him that the river god was gone.Let him publicize this matter, lest there are still pedantic people who use virgin boys and girls to sacrifice to the river god when crossing the river.Bao Tian didn't want to make a name for himself, so he left without leaving his name.

Seeing the appearance of the two Wuyougu monks, the boatman couldn't help secretly contemptuous. They are both monks, how can there be such a big gap between immortals?

"There should be no river god now, presumably he was killed by that monk master." The boatman's eyes were full of awe and faith: "The old man asked me to publicize this matter, lest there are people who don't know the truth continue to use it." Boys and girls sacrifice to the God of the River, so as to avoid people with ulterior motives from asking past monks for spiritual sand. He is a living god, and the people on both sides of the strait will never forget his great kindness..."

The two Wuyou Valley cultivators stared wide-eyed, envious and jealous of the white-robed young man. Although they practice Taoism, how can they escape the word "name".The so-called literati look down on each other, and the monks may not be much better, one of the Wuyougu monks couldn't help but said: "Even if we don't need to use boys and girls to sacrifice to the river god, even if we don't ask the monks for spiritual sand, what does it matter to you? Why should you not forget his great kindness forever?"

The boatman took a deep look at him: "Do you know why there are only a few large ferries and a few small boats on the riverside of our border? That's because whoever of us can catch fish and whoever can ferry is the god of the river." Under the control of the evildoer, we can’t do whatever we want. When the evildoer, the river god, forbids us to fish, even if our whole family starves to death, we can’t fish.

"Where do you think those virgin boys and girls come from? It's because those of us who have been fishing for generations can't go fishing and sell them for money, so those who can't survive will sell their children. If If you don’t sell the child, the whole family will starve to death!”

The two Wuyou Valley monks couldn't help being speechless, and after a long while, someone said: "When you took the ferry, you charged a tael of silver per person! Why do you still need to sell the child?"

The boatman shook his head: "Do you think I spent the three taels of silver alone? The villages on both sides of our bank used to be thousands of households, living on water and fishing. But the evil spirit of the river god is moody. We are allowed to fish for two days. When we are unhappy, we are not allowed to go down the river for several months. There are too few days when fishing is allowed, and there are only a few companies that allow ferrying, so those with a little ability and wealth have moved away. Now There are only a few hundred households left, all of whom cannot be moved away and can only wait to die here.

"The money collected by our boatman has to be distributed by the village head to everyone when we go back. To maintain the whole village, it can only be regarded as lingering. Although it seems that three taels of silver is a lot, hundreds of households get one cent, and each family can share it. It's not bad to live on a penny. What's more, how many monks and masters can there be across the river?
"We have been praying, praying that there will be a fairy to get rid of this evil, and give us fishermen a way of life. Otherwise, it will not be a few years if this continues, and our life will not be able to go on. But there has never been... Gradually We are all numb, thinking about living like this every day is a day. Who knows that a living god really got rid of this evil for us today, how can we not be grateful?"

The two Wuyougu monks looked at me and I looked at you, one said: "Why don't you change to another industry, do you have to go fishing?" The other also said: "Or move!"

There was sadness in the boatman's eyes: "The so-called relying on mountains to eat mountains depends on water to drink water. We live by the river. What else can we do without fishing? We also want to move, but the government doesn't give us directions. How can we get there?" Come on? Wouldn’t it be a refugee if there is no way to lead to another place? Like us who have no property, no savings, and no other skills, what is the difference between a beggar and a beggar when we go to a foreign place? Changing industries, moving, haha, it’s easy to say... ..."

The two Wuyou Valley cultivators hesitated to speak, they always thought how could a person be trapped to death like this, it was the wisdom of mortals.But they may never be able to understand the distress of mortals, after all, after they practice Taoism, they are no longer in the same world as mortals.

But they were still not convinced by Baotian, one of them said: "He asked you to publicize this matter, he is just a person who wants to make money by drawing names."

"What fame and fortune are you trying to do?" The boatman finally couldn't help but angrily said: "He didn't even leave his name, how can you two seek fame and fortune?"

"This..." The two Wuyou Valley cultivators couldn't help being ashamed, they really didn't expect that the white-robed boy didn't even leave his name.This made them feel ashamed. It's really a villain's heart to judge a gentleman's belly.

Suddenly, one of them clapped his hands together: "Junior brother, I seem to remember! A white robe, beautiful boy, powerful! Do you think there is someone who seems to fit all these points!"

"That's right!" The other person recalled it, and blurted out: "The two of us are at the psychic level. He is stronger than us and can kill the River God. At least he is also a great monk at the legendary level! Thinking about it, I seem to be really I have seen such a person in the book of immortals!"

As they spoke, the two hurriedly opened the book of immortals that they carried with them, and sure enough, after opening it, they saw Baotian, the No.

"Bao Tian, ​​about 20 years old, at the beginning of the legendary realm, was born under Lei Badao's sect of Tianjianzong, and was once the elder of Liejianfeng who held the sword. Now he is the elder of Yujiantang Wanren, and he likes to walk in white robes without seals world...

"... once killed Xiang Nanfeng, a mid-stage monk in the Legendary Realm, in the Heavenly Sword Sect's Battle for the Front Stage. There are thousands of witnesses, and it is true...

"... once defeated Zheng Wenhui, a middle-stage cultivator in the Nirvana Realm, in the Danding Sect Heaven Judgment Field. Thousands of witnesses have witnessed it, and it is true...

"...The author's evaluation: the only genius in history who can leapfrog and defeat a monk in the Nirvana realm!"

"Oh my god..." The two monks in the Valley of Worry were so frightened that their wits flew out of their wits. You looked at me and you, and you could see the deep fear in each other's eyes: "We actually spoke rudely in front of this evil star... ..."

At this time, Baotian was walking in the first town belonging to the Central Plains after crossing the boundary river, 【Shama Town】.Chama Town is not big, but it is an important place for transportation. Bao Tian and Guo Delong, the leader of the Holy Ring Sect, made an appointment to meet in Chama Town.

As a town, this place is really too rustic. Even the city walls are dilapidated earthen walls, and dust is flying on the road. The people who walk are covered in dust no matter they are rich or poor. It can be seen that the economic development of this place is still quite backward.On the contrary, there are a lot of hotels and inns, but the grades are not very good, and they only rely on the location to attract passers-by.

A person in white clothes fluttering and spotless like Baotian is really eye-catching. Not long after Baotian walked into the town, someone came to greet him, and said to Baotian, "Dare you ask if the guest is from the east?"

Bao Tian nodded: "Who are you?"

"The villain is the waiter of the Yuelai Inn. A guest gave the villain a tael of silver and told the villain to wait here for a beautiful boy in a white robe to come from the east, and then lure him to see him. The villain Dare to ask, what is the guest's name?" The waiter in the shop nodded and bowed, his words were quite sharp.

Bao Tian said: "Let me ask you first, the guest who gave you a tael of silver has a broad forehead, a square mouth, and thin eyebrows and eyes?"

"The customer has a broad forehead and a big mouth, but not thin eyebrows and narrow eyes, but thick eyebrows and big eyes. You remember the customer wrong..." The waiter in the shop doubted: "Could it be that the villain made a mistake?"

"You're not mistaken." Bao Tian smiled, he made a mistake on purpose, since the waiter was right, it was obviously Guo Delong who asked the waiter to wait for him, so he waved his hand and said, "Let's go, take me to see him .”

"Yes." The shop clerk thought it was impossible for someone to fake it, after all, he was going to meet someone.He led Baotian to Yuelai Inn, knocked on the door of Tianzi No. [-] room on the second floor, and said respectfully: "Guest, I brought you the person you asked me to wait for!"

A cold and cold voice came from inside: "Let him in."

Bao Tian couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard this, the voice didn't seem to be Guo Delong's, and the tone was vaguely unkind.Could it be that things have changed?
Hearing this voice also made the waiter in the store shiver uncontrollably, he didn't dare to stay any longer, he hurriedly said to Bao Tian: "Please welcome the guest!" Then he turned around and wanted to leave.

Bao Tianyi was brave enough to scan his consciousness first, only to see that there was no Guo Delong in the room, only two men in it.One of the two men is dry and thin, with a figure like a six-year-old urchin, but he has thick eyebrows and big eyes. If he is not small, he would really look a bit heroic.

But it wasn't him who spoke, but another man in black.The man in black was thin and thin, with thin but long eyebrows that flew obliquely into his temples.A pair of long and narrow eyes are cold and gloomy, although he looks like a white-faced scholar, but the whole person's temperament gives people the feeling that they will shudder when they see him.

Bao Tian grabbed the waiter at the inn and confirmed again: "The person in this room is the person I just mentioned?"

"Yes!" The waiter nodded.

"He's not the only one, right?" When Bao Tian said this, he thought that Guo Delong had mentioned that he would find a few fellow Taoists to help him. He thought that Guo Delong would not be there at this time, and the ones inside were the fellows that Guo Delong had found.

"Yes!" The waiter nodded again.

Bao Tian let go of his hand, let him go, walked to the door without stretching out his hand, his chest slightly raised, and an invisible wind force gently pushed the closed door open.

As soon as the door opened, a huge centipede with a head as big as a millstone suddenly poked its head out, opened its fangs like two serrated knives and grinned at Baotian.
