Wow—

In the sound of flowing water, Qishui from south to north is like a jade belt in the night, reflecting the silver light of the stars, moon and silver, rolling up a stream of sparkling waves.

Outside the rippling reeds, on the mud road, the creaking wheel axles moaned one after another, and several men drove a donkey cart up the river along the road.

The moonlight shines brightly, and four or five people are vaguely seen on the river beach ahead. They stand at the ferry with torches. When they see the donkey cart coming here, someone quickly approaches them.

"Have the person been caught?"

"I was caught and almost ran to Sikou Pass to cross the river and escape! Fortunately, she had no money to take a boat..."

As he spoke, the man walked past the car, untied the rope from the linen pocket, pulled open the upper end of the pocket, revealing a childish little face, looking pretty, at most thirteen or fourteen years old, his mouth was filled with strips of cloth, his eyes, and his cheeks were covered with a lot of bruises and swollen around his cheeks, and his head was broken, and half of his face was dyed red.

Woo woo woo woo woo ~~~

The girl in the bag saw the night outside and the torch light, shook her head hard and begged the other party to let her go. However, the man pulled her pocket and frowned.

"Why are you injured? How can you marry Qi Shui Shen? Ask a few mothers to come and dress her up."

"I have sent someone back and called," said several men who drove the car.

"trouble!"

The man holding the torch waved his hand and asked them to drive the donkey cart to the ferry. Then he walked to the four people who were still standing there, closed his palms and bowed respectfully to one of them.

"The great immortal, the man has been caught, but he was a little injured. When the women in the village come over later, they will dress her up... I just don't know if the injury will blame the God of Qi Shui."

Among the four, one of them was wearing a green Taoist robe with a high bun, and a hairpin was inserted on it. He held a whisk in his hand and faced the river with his other fingers constantly counting.

Hearing the man behind him, he shook the whisk, turned around, stopped counting fingers, his chin and goatee shaking, and said with a smile:

"No, no hurry. The time has not arrived yet. The God of Qi Shui will not blame you. Just be sincere. By the way, can you prepare the tributes of animals and the betrothal gifts?"

The man nodded repeatedly: "It's complete, just wait for the great immortal to cast the spell and marry this woman to the God of Qi Shui."

"Okay, I will discuss with the God of Qi Shui first. You urge the women in the village to come over and dress her up quickly."

The immortal gently stroked the long beard of the chin and beard. After saying that, he turned around and faced the long river reflecting the moonlight. He closed his eyes and his lips quickly stammered, as if he was talking to someone. The man looked at the Taoist boy holding his arms on both sides and his hair was disheveled. He did not dare to disturb him too much. He ran to the ferry, changed his previous respectful expression and scolded the men who were driving the car.

"Why haven't the people in the village come yet? Hurry up and urge them!"

"Ergou has gone back, and should have been notified from door to door. Come soon."

Wow wool...Wow wool...

After crossing a mu of land, the village soaked in the darkness in the distance was startled by dogs. The man who had run back was now slapping the door from house to house, without shouting, and then slapped the door three times in a hurry and slow manner, and then ran to the next house.

Bang bang...

The dilapidated courtyard gate sounded, and there was a dim fire in the main hall opposite. Lu Liangsheng turned his head when he heard the door sound. The old man who was speaking also turned his face and looked at the wooden door outside, got up to clean up the dishes and took the earthen stove outside.

"That Qi Shui God is very effective anyway. I didn't believe it at the beginning. Once, when I went out to work early in the morning, the ridges of the fields were hooked out of a small ditch, and the crops had been irrigated. Not only my family, but also several households were like this. Young Master, do you think it's magical?"

Lu Liangsheng frowned and glanced at the night outside, his fingertips were on the table little by little. What the old man said coincided with what he thought just now. It should be that the little monsters nearby used magic to do something for the villagers and "earn" some incense in order to gain enlightenment.

But, what happened to the knock on the door just now?

Just as I was about to ask the old man over there, the old man put the bowls and chopsticks into the pot, wiped his hands out, and saw the scholar walking to the door, he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him and pushed him in.

"Young Master, go to bed earlier. Get up early tomorrow and you'll be on the way. This is our appointment before. Have you forgotten?"

I remembered that when I was staying in the afternoon, a man in the village said this. Lu Liangsheng thought that he was just guarding against the rules of outsiders, so he was not relieved. Now that the old man mentioned it again, he couldn't help but feel suspicious.

"Of course I still remember, then I went to bed."

"Okay, my son will sleep on my bed. When I come back, I will be putting two benches to make do with one night."

The old man waved his hand with a smile, rushed the scholar to go to bed, walked quickly across the courtyard, opened the yard door and ran out, seemingly worried, and turned around and inserted a wooden stick into both sides of the door. The neighbors in the village were already close. When the old man passed by, except for the sleeping children, the adults almost rushed out of the village entrance and ran to the river bank.

The sound of human voices and footsteps caused the dogs in the village to bark wildly. Lu Liangsheng, who was sitting in the old man's house, did not make a bed and sleep. Under the shaking oil lamp, the toad Taoist walked out of the cubicle with a frog webbing. He could hear everything inside clearly.

"Master, do you feel the evil spirit?"

Lu Liangsheng reached out and pushed the two short legs hanging on the edge of the table onto the table. The latter didn't care too much, so he yawned, wrapped it in a ball, and opened his eyes.

"Mediating on other people's business... I didn't feel the evil spirit."

No evil spirit?

Looking at the burning wick, Lu Liangsheng knew that his master was the most sensitive to demonic energy. If he said there was no demonic energy, there would naturally be no one. Is it completely different from what I thought before?

"If you want to go out and see what you want, just go, what are you worried about?" Taoist Toad understood his disciple's thoughts and was unable to wave the frog's webbing. "Go and go early and come back early, so let's sleep for a while."

Lu Liangsheng didn't say anything, got up and opened the door of the main hall, jumped up, stepped on the earthen wall, splashed a little mud and dust, and pulled it up again, sinking into the night.

On the mud road outside the village, villagers rushed to the river bank ferry. Even the elderly at home squeezed into the crowd with crutches, and followed everyone to bow to the "big immortal" standing on the big rock on the river bank in front.

"Blessed by the God of Qishui, the bride will be sent to the fairy palace later!" "I hope that the crops will be harvested in the coming year..."

"Bless, Zhao Daxian start quickly!"

In this voice, the Taoist priest, known as the Great Immortal, turned around with a whisk, slowly opened his eyes, and smiled at the dark and bowed and kowtowed villagers.

"I have already communicated with Qishui Shenshui. He agreed to this marriage. All the villagers relaxed and married the bride to the Immortal Lord's Mansion. In the future, your village will be in good weather every year and you will not have to worry about food and drink! However, the communication between the gods and the spirit needs to be strict, so are there no one in this village here?"

Among the villagers worshipping below, someone shouted: "There is only a scholar who is staying in bed and has already fallen asleep."

The Taoist stroked his long beard and thought about it. It was nothing for a scholar. He had no power to tie a chicken and could not make any messes. He just smiled and nodded.

"Since that's the case, then the immortal began to do it and took the bride to the ferry!"

"Thank you, Zhao Daxian, for asking for blessings for my Lijia Village!"

"On there, dress up the bride quickly and send it to the ferry!"

In the direction of the donkey cart, the burning torch light range, the iron chains thrust, and the girl in red wedding uniform was dragged by several thick village women.

"Please...I don't want to marry...please don't throw me down...please...please..."

The man guarding the bridge brought a millstone, ignored the crying girl, tied the iron chain on her neck off the stone mill, and waved: "Send it to the bride!"

"Don't make a noise!"

Several strong women roared with the girl and walked straight to the front of the bridge.

The wind blew through the night, on a lonely tree in the fields, Lu Liangsheng stood lightly on the branches and leaves, staring at the Taoist on the rock and looking at the girl who was carried to cross the bridge.

"I thought there was really a monster, but it turned out to be a person who pretended to be a ghost!"

Under the blue shirt and white robe that was stroking in the wind, starlight appeared on the skin of the back. The river that was moving far away, a series of bubbles rose up on the flowing water.
