Chapter 1365 Recruiting talents and eliminating crocodiles
After hearing Long San's words, Tieguai Li was silent for a moment, and finally said, "The Third Princess is right. Let's report this to the Jade Emperor first. After the Jade Emperor's will issuance, we will make a decision!"
As the leader of the Eight Immortals, Tieguai Li is always very stable in dealing with things.
"Why do you have to ask the Jade Emperor again? It is a matter of destiny to eat people and swallow souls of the ancient crocodile god. Eliminating demons and defending the way is what we gods should do. If we ask for instructions, then we ask for instructions. What is the meaning of what we gods do? In my opinion, there is no need to ask the Jade Emperor again. We will just take action to get rid of the ancient crocodile god's descendants."
Lu Dongbin, who was beside him, said loudly, and it seemed that his sense of justice was very strong!
"Dongbin is right. Everyone can kill evil deeds. Why should we ask the Jade Emperor for instructions?" He Xiangu also expressed his attitude.
"Okay, just follow what you said. I thought things too complicated. I think the ancient crocodile god, as an ancient god, should understand our painstaking efforts." Tieguai Li said.
Han Zhongli also said: "Well, I also support what Dongbin said. If you ask for instructions on everything, it would be boring to be a god. However, the ancient crocodile god is a powerful person after all. It is not very easy for us to touch his descendants. I think we need to make a long-term plan..."
...
In a tavern in Chaozhou, Chen Hao was sitting upright drinking.
Han Yu's guess that day was right, Chen Hao did come to Chaozhou.
Chen Hao's purpose in coming to Chaozhou was also to preach.
Preaching is actually difficult and simple.
If you preach for no reason, no one will believe it or learn it.
But if some miracles appear, it will be completely different. People who study Taoism may flock to it.
And there is a "miracle" that Chen Hao can do in Chaozhou, and this miracle will be used on the ancient crocodile god who has done many evil things!
Chen Hao has been in Chaozhou for three days. During these three days, he has been wandering around the city and has not shown his miracle in front of the people!
Compared to Chen Hao, Han Yu came very quickly. He has been here for five days.
Of course, there is a reason why Chen Hao is slower than Han. He has not used spells along the way, and he has been using walking.
He walked all the way, traveled around the mountains and rivers, tasted various delicacies, and understood the customs and cultures of various places, which was also considered to have achieved the goal of his transformation into a world.
"Oh, Brother Zhang has heard of it? There is another disaster in this bad water!"
Chen Hao was drinking while on another table in the tavern, a middle-aged man sighed.
"Did you say that crocodiles eat people again?" asked Brother Zhang, who was drinking with the man.
The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Yes, those crocodiles ate hundreds of people this time!"
"So many?" Brother Zhang was extremely surprised.
The middle-aged man said, "I guess hundreds of people have said less, and some even said they have eaten 200 people!"
The brother Zhang cursed, "When will this damn crocodile be removed? To put it bluntly, it is all the government's inaction!"
The middle-aged man said, "It's no wonder that the government has done evil for a year or two. In order to wipe out them, the governments of all dynasties sacrificed countless soldiers, but it was useless, and those soldiers lost their lives in vain."
"During the Qin Dynasty, Emperor Qin's reunification of the six kingdoms and pacified the world. How domineering it was? It's not that there was no way to use these crocodiles in the bad water!"
"During the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of Han was very talented and stubborn, and he drove the Huns out of the Great Wall. He couldn't do anything about crocodiles!"
"During the Three Kingdoms period, Emperor Sun Quan of Wu tried to kill crocodiles several times, but failed again and again, and lost troops and generals!"
"Let's not talk about the distance, let's take the nearest one. From the third year of Daye to the demise of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang Guang of Sui sent large troops to kill crocodiles three times, which cost 300,000 troops. Isn't it useless!"
"Since the Emperor of Sui, why hasn't the emperor wanted to deal with those crocodiles? Don't you know that crocodiles are monsters and cannot be beaten by humans! If humans can get rid of them, do you think they will survive until now?"
After hearing this, the brother Zhang shook his head and said, "Oh, I'm wronged. These crocodiles are indeed difficult to deal with!"
"Two brothers, are you talking about the Evil Creek Crocodile?" At this time, a young man of twenty-five or six years old stood up from a table in the distance and walked to the table where the middle-aged man and Brother Zhang were.
"Hello, little brother, we are indeed talking about the Evil Creek Crocodile." The middle-aged man and Brother Zhang both greeted the young man.
The young man said, "I am from the north. I have been traveling to the south this time and want to see the beautiful scenery of the south. After coming to Chaozhou this morning, I heard that there were crocodiles in this evil stream and ate many people. This made me feel both painful and puzzled!"
"Oh, why are you confused?" asked Brother Zhang.
The young man said, "My doubt is that the people here know that there are crocodiles raging in the evil stream, so why do they still enter the evil stream repeatedly? Wouldn't it be better if they don't enter?"
The middle-aged man said, "I don't know anything about this evil stream. There is a rare treasure called the Night Pearl. It is as crystal clear as jade. It can illuminate a room at night, which can be said to be priceless."
"In history, a total of nineteen night pearls were found in the evil stream. All of these people who found the night pearls were rich and honored for life!"
"So, there are people who are desperate for life in all dynasties. In order to search for the night pearl, they came to this evil stream to find treasures!"
"So that's it. I'm just a little bit uninformed and ignorant. It seems that reading thousands of books is far less than traveling thousands of miles." The young man sighed.
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "In fact, it is not just the reason for Night Pearl. Another reason is that water and land are more convenient than dry roads."
"Some people who do big business will probably not make much money if they transport goods on dry roads."
"But you can reach the location where the goods are traded at the fastest speed when traveling through water and land."
"Of course, the most important thing is that crocodiles in Evil Creek do not eat people every day. These crocodiles only eat more than a dozen people in a year. Most of the time, there is peace on Evil Creek."
"So, these people are all traveling to the water and land with the mentality of luck. The hundreds of people who died yesterday are really unlucky. Evil River has not had a crocodile eater for two or three months. Those people are really unlucky, but they just bumped into it!"
The young man sighed again: "Ah, the bustling crowds are all for profit. These people die for profit. The word "profit" has killed too many people!"
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "My little brother is a person who is sad and pity for others, and he is almost the same as me, Brother Zhang."
The brother Zhang laughed and said, "Isn't Brother Li a person like this?"
The two looked at each other and smiled slightly.
The young man saw that the two of them laughed, and he also smiled.
"Dong!Dong!Dong!"
