North of Chenzhou City, on the Lingshui River.

Three huge tower ships sailed on the wide river surface. This kind of sailboat is as tall as a city, with a wide head. There are tall steel brackets at the bow. There are three layers of buildings built on the ship, with crossbows, windows, spears, and stone-capping tools, which are like fortresses.

The hull is painted with bright red and black colors,

The firepower of the crossbows and firearms installed on both sides of the ship can easily tear apart the small wooden boats, let alone ordinary whale sharks.

The thin sailor with dark skin quickly climbed up the mast, looked into the distance, shouting to guide the commander below,

Dozens of soldiers standing on the deck were wearing strong and sharp faces, with a firm face, and their bodies swayed slightly along the deck.

These are soldiers from Wudewei, who are wearing strong and well-trained,

Although he does not have the ability to be extraordinary, he can rely on his orders to prevent him, be brave and good at fighting, and use his horizontal sword and spear to hunt demons.

But today's protagonists are not them.

"My monk Zhu?"

The young soldier ran over the deck and came to Zhu Xuemin and others who were leaning against the railing and overlooking Lingshui. He bowed and said, "We will be at the fish demon right away. General Du is summoning you to discuss countermeasures."

“…”

Zhu Xuemin looked at the vast rugged water surface and murmured: "The water in Linghe is so turbid..."

"Where is the monk?"

The young soldier smiled and said, "The water in the Linghe River is full of mud and sand, and it has always been turbid. Otherwise, there would be no such thing as Linghe River and Weihe River is clear."

"Um."

Zhu Xuemin nodded without comment, turned around and said calmly: "What's the way you come."

It has been several days since Luo Siyuan asked him to kill the fish demon that day.

In the past few days, Luo Siyuan has found many more people.

He also successfully convinced the governor of Chenzhou and asked him to send troops to assist Luo Siyuan in killing the demons.

The person who commanded the three tower ships this time was the nephew of the governor of Chenzhou, General Du Tinghuai.

Zhu Xuemin and others followed the soldiers into the tower,

In the cabin, General Du Tinghuai, wearing bright light armor, sat in the first seat. He was tall, handsome, and had a beard, and vaguely similar to the governor.

Several deputy generals sat beside him.

There were dozens of monks from Chenzhou City sitting in the two rows of seats in front of him.

Including the Wudewei Captain, Taoist Priest Longhushan, several great monks, and Luo Siyuan wearing purple Taoist robes, Zhuangzi scarves, and whisks.

Seeing Zhu Xuemin walking into the cabin, Luo Siyuan smiled kindly at him.

General Du Tinghuai, who was sitting in the first seat, also nodded, not expressing his delay in coming to him - Zhu Xuemin had saved the wife of the governor of Chenzhou, that is, General Du's aunt, and he was kind to him.

"My monk Zhu, please sit down."

Du Tinghuai waved his hand and asked his subordinates to bring chairs for Zhu Xuemin and others.

Wait until Zhu Xuemin sits down,

He coughed lightly, glanced at the monk below, and said slowly: "There are a few who were invited to kill the fish demon today.

To facilitate you to understand the situation, please let Master Luo explain the origin of the fish demon again."

Luo Siyuan waved his whisk and stood up, and said calmly: "A few days ago, a ragged boy found me and asked me to pay justice for him.

According to him, his surname was Xu Youqi, and his father Xu Wencai was a merchant in Nanjun.

One month ago, Xu Wen hired a ship to carry cargo through Lingshui River and reached the middle of the river.

Suddenly, a strong wind suddenly erupted, black clouds pressed, and lightning and thunder were heard.

The waves are stirred up on the calm river surface,

A black fish head, like a hill, emerged under the water, opened its bloody mouth and bit the cargo ship in the waist, swallowing all the goods with people.

Xu Wenqian was eaten by the fish demon. The bad news was sent home, and his wife and children were heartbroken.

Several eldest sons of the Xu family vowed to avenge their father, so they went to Fu County, a location where the Lingshui River was in trouble to report the case."

Luo Siyuan paused, glanced at the Wudewei Captain sitting opposite, and said lightly: "In the past few years, there have been many fish demons injuring people in Fu County.

Originally, patrolling the world's evil spirits should be the main job of Wu Dewei.

However, the Lingshui River has a vast surface, winding and winding water, and deep and turbid water.

It is difficult to detect and search, and the fish demon is cunning and has a treacherous whereabouts.

Wudewei was dispatched several times, but he still couldn't find the whereabouts of the fish demon, so he simply put it down - anyway, the fish demon did not appear frequently,

The number of ships that hit the reefs and sank in the Lingshui River every year is far greater than that of ships destroyed by fish demons.

When reporting to superiors, you only need to blame all the ships destroyed by the fish demon on the reefs in the river.

The Xu family reported the whereabouts of the demon without success.

He sold his property, raised funds, and prepared to go to Longhu Mountain to seek help from experts, kill the fish demon, and avenge his father."

Luo Siyuan sighed and said slowly: "The brothers of the Xu family left the house and took their money to stay at an inn in Fu County.

Unexpectedly, a fire broke out that night, and the inn was completely burned.

All the elder brothers of the Xu family died, but only the younger brother Xu Youqi escaped, and came to Chenzhou to find me.

He said that on the night of the fire, he had heard the sound of gold and iron slashing.

It is suspected that someone set fire secretly, deliberately killed the Xu brothers, and attempted to make money.

He was afraid that it was done by the Fu County government, so he did not dare to report to the official, so he asked me to uphold justice for him.

Although I am absent-minded and poor in my cultivation, how can I stay out of trouble when encountering unfair things?

Then he followed him back to Fu County, and used the method of Tongyou to call the soul of the elder brother of the Xu family to interrogate the case.

Sure enough, I found something strange. Following the clues, I found Huang Silang, a local wealthy businessman in Fu County."

"I took the Longhushan token to find the Fu County Magistrate and asked him to arrest Huang Silang and arrest him for interrogation.

The county magistrate didn't believe it.

Huang Silang was originally just a poor fisherman. He didn't know what luck he had been away a few years ago, so he dug out a piece of dog-headed gold by the river.

By selling gold, doing business and doing business, he accumulated a fortune in just a few years.

He often donates money and materials on weekdays to pave bridges and roads for Fu County, and has a great reputation in the local area.

After I was persuaded by a kind word, the magistrate of Fu County sent a police officer to arrest Huang Silang.

Unexpectedly, a horrifying case was involved under the torture."

Luo Siyuan said with a sad face: "Huang Silang said that he had met the Lingshui River God in his dream a few years ago. The river God promised that as long as Huang Silang paid tribute to him, he would be able to reward him for his wealth and honor for the rest of his life.

Huang Silang woke up and was half-believing and half-doubted. Just a few days later, his wife gave birth to a baby girl.

The bad habit of urinating babies has existed since ancient times.

Yue, a villain in the fields in E, usually only raises two men and one woman, and then kills them after this.

Often, when the child is produced, the water is stored with a vessel, and the child is drowning. This is called washing the child.

As a poor and humble fisherman, Huang Silang was overwhelmed with raising two sons.

Seeing that a baby girl was born, he simply drove a boat to Lingshui River and put the new baby girl in a wooden tub and let it drift.

The wooden basin floated heavily in the water and was eventually flooded by the river.
