Talk about the world of mortals in detail

The sky had darkened, and Yi Shuyuan did not return directly to Fucheng, but followed the wind southward along the Kaiyang Grand Canal.

The distance that the ship needed to sail through the water for many days did not take long at the speed of the wind. Soon Yi Shuyuan arrived at the approximate river section of Shuishen Shuifu, and then fell directly from the sky.

There was water flow on the river that separated the two sides. Yi Shuyuan escaped directly into the river, leaving only some traces of splashing water.

This is the first time Yi Shuyuan has moved forward underwater by relying on water control. It is still very novel. He does not need to swim, but relies on the current to carry him along. In fact, it feels similar to the wind control.

Yi Shuyuan moved along the current. Looking at the bottom of the river, he could not see where the water house was. He could only vaguely see a layer of looming foam.

The Water Mansion is actually easy to find, but it's restricted from entering casually, but Yi Shuyuan is also sure that the Water Mansion is here.

"May I ask which of the gods in Shui Mansion is here to visit Yi Shuyuan?"

Yi Shuyuan did not directly break the restriction, but his voice easily penetrated into the water mansion.

Nowadays, the entire water palace of Kaiyang Water God seems very deserted. Although the death of Water God did not say that all his subordinates would be implicated, it still scared away many water tribes.

If there is anyone else who can speak, it is General Crab. His mortal enemy was destroyed by the Five Thunders of Heaven, but he really couldn't be happy and has been feeling uneasy for some time.

But after practicing to this day, General Crab is reluctant to part with his current status, and even if he escapes, where can he go? Are you going to the sea?

At this moment, Yi Shuyuan's voice came in from outside, and soon spread throughout the entire Shuifu Mansion.

General Crab suddenly woke up from his sleep.

Yi Shuyuan?

Isn't that Yi Daozi!

When the Heavenly Court beheaded the Water God, there was a writing down, explaining the cause and effect.

The words "Yi Shuyuan" appeared to General Crab at this moment, and it was just like an evil ghost seeking his life in the minds of ordinary people. He rushed out of the palace where he was resting and was about to escape through the water.

But after escaping from the room, it gradually slowed down.

The Emperor of Heaven even gives a person who is the pinnacle of immortality some face. If the other party comes to seek revenge, how can I, a small Water God general, escape?

Recalling that Lord Water God took the initiative to complain to heaven, which caused the final fatal disaster, General Crab also had some other thoughts in his mind.

People in the Immortal Way should not be bloodthirsty, right?

If the person who comes here is really evil, he can just come in directly. Who in the Shui Mansion can stop him?

After thinking about all this, General Crab went to the outskirts of Shuifu alone despite the fear in his heart.

Across the restricted water film of the Water Mansion, General Crab looked outside. It was a man with long hair scattered in the water. The man's water-avoiding spell seemed to be stuck to his skin, like a normal person standing in the water.

Yi Shuyuan felt something in his heart and turned his head to look in the direction in front of him. General Crab's heart skipped a beat and he quickly dispersed the water film in front of him to reveal his figure.

"Xie Qing, the crab general in Xiashui Mansion, pays homage to Immortal Yi Daozi!"

Although one of General Crab's hands is still a crab's claws and his lower body is still a crab's body, he tries his best to maintain his courtesy.

However, his title is actually a bit strange. Strictly speaking, it is Yi Daozi, so there is no need to add another immortal.

"General Crab, there's no need to be polite. Is it because Yi came here so casually? There doesn't seem to be anyone in Shui Mansion?"

Yi Shuyuan looked behind General Crab. Not only did General Crab come alone, but the water house behind him was also quiet.

General Crab smiled bitterly.

"The death of Lord Water God has made people in the mansion panic, and many of them have run away."

There is one emperor and one courtier, one generation of water gods and one generation of generals. Even if a new water god appears in the future, the situation will probably be very different.

"I wonder what the immortal is doing here?"

Yi Shuyuan thought for a moment and told the truth.

"General Crab, Yi suspects that there are monsters hiding in the section of the river in Chengtian Mansion. It is difficult for Yi to distinguish the smell in the water. I hope that the divine general in the water can help. Is it convenient?"

Upon hearing this, General Crab's eyes immediately lit up as he was still worried.

"I am still the God General of the River, and it is my duty to clean up the waters. What's more, the Immortal Chief has spoken. This matter is unshirkable. Immortal Chief, don't worry. The water palace seems desolate, but there are still many people. I will immediately summon the remaining people. Brother!"

Yi Shuyuan glanced at Shuifu again.

"How many more people are there?"

Since he was helping the immortals get rid of evil spirits, General Crab had no scruples.

"Immortal Commander, if nothing else, I still have soldiers and horses under my command. I can have eleven Yakshas and eight hundred sailors. These are all people who are capable of conquering and fighting. They can set up an array to trap the demons. Immortal Chief, although there are also Yakshas, ​​but they They are all my subordinates, and there will be no evil spirits mixed among them."

Yi Shuyuan nodded. Normally, Yaksha should be free from the shackles of ghosts, so he would naturally not be picky.

"Thank you, General Crab, for your generous help. But don't alert the enemy yet. Go quietly to that section of water. This can be considered a meritorious deed for you!"

"Don't worry, Immortal, we will never be careless!"

Yi Shuyuan nodded, then said goodbye and left. Although this General Crab looked a little strange, he was actually not a bad person, and he could show his abilities better in the water.

The originally anxious General Crab seemed to be radiant again, and he made a general sound directly in the water palace.

"My sons—call your troops and assemble—"

The Water God Water Mansion is bustling again.

——

On a street in Chengtian Mansion, Yi Shuyuan, who had just returned from the canal, landed outside the City God's Temple. Since he had already invited soldiers and horses in the water, he would also know about the Chengtian Mansion City God. There were ghosts and gods watching him. Be more at ease.

Yi Shuyuan did not choose to go to the Gate of Hell. This act of crossing the boundary between Yin and Yang at will was actually considered trespassing. He went directly into the closed City God Temple and looked at the statue of the City God outside the main hall.

"Yi Shuyuan asks to see Lord Chengtian Mansion City God!"

Just a few breaths after he finished speaking, the eyes of the City God statue began to glow with divine light, looking at the person standing outside the temple.

Then a blur of divine light appeared from the position of the statue, and gradually gathered into a tall figure in front of the statue. It was the Dharmakaya of Chengtian Mansion City God. He walked towards the door and looked at the people outside.

Is this person Yi Daozi?

The matter of beheading gods in heaven, not to mention the fact that many storytellers in the world make up stories and tell them, and become people's talk after dinner, is not a trivial matter in Shinto. After all, it is the righteous god of Kaiyang Waters!

Therefore, Yi Shuyuan's name cannot be said to be extremely famous, but at least it is no longer unknown.

"Yi Shuyuan has met Lord Cheng Huang!"

Yi Shuyuan saluted first, but the city god did not dare to neglect and walked out of the hall quickly and returned the salute with his hands.

"Mr. Yi is so polite. I wonder why you are here?"

Ghosts and gods in the underworld value virtue the most. Yi Shuyuan's worship directly shook the temple to pieces and even damaged the golden body of the Kaiyang Water God. This kind of immortal must have great merits and virtues regardless of his immortal cultivation.

Therefore, even when he met Yi Shuyuan for the first time, the Chengtian Mansion City God showed more respect to him.

Seeing that the City God was easy to talk to, Yi Shuyuan stopped talking nonsense and talked about his past dealings with the cat demon and his feelings and suspicions today. Hearing this, the City God couldn't help but raise his brows.

Nine-lived cat demon Xuanji?

This thing is still alive after being killed many times, but it’s very weird!

After listening to Yi Shuyuan's words, the Chengtian Mansion City God thought deeply and then spoke bluntly.

"Even though Sir is just guessing, it seems that there must be a demon in the Thirteenth Floor. If there is not the nine-life cat demon, there are other things. And if the cat demon is really hiding nearby, we can't let her run away again. This evil obstacle is a disaster. Common people can also spread demonic diseases, which is very insidious!"

"Lord City God, it's best to catch that evildoer this time instead of killing him directly!"

Hearing Yi Shuyuan's words, the City God looked surprised.

"Why is this? Does Mr. Yi still want to seek credit from the Heavenly Court?"

The city god's words were of course a joke, but Yi Shuyuan had to explain it carefully.

"No, the last time Yi killed the cat demon directly, and there was no breath after that, so I thought I had removed it. If it was really her this time, then if I killed her directly, I would probably lose her trace again, so , it’s best to catch her and trap her without killing her before cracking her secret!”

After thinking about it, the City God nodded slightly.

"It makes sense! However, these evildoers have suffered losses several times and are extremely difficult to deal with. It is inconvenient for my underworld department to suddenly strengthen the supervision of the Thirteenth Floor. It would be a warning. Mr. Yi needs to pay more attention."

"Well, Yi knows it well!"

Yi Shuyuan was slightly relieved at this moment. He found helpers in the water and on the shore, which was better than doing it alone. Moreover, the city god also made it clear that he would go to the earth god.

It would be great if the cat demon could be captured alive. Yi Shuyuan's concerns were true, but at the same time he also had his own selfish motives in practice. But if things couldn't be done, he would not be soft-hearted when it was time to take action.

After bidding farewell to the City God, Yi Shuyuan could finally find a place to rest.

——

The days in the capital passed as usual, and what surprised some people was that Muxin Tea House continued to talk about "The River God Falls" on the second day.

Yi Shuyuan's story is different from other storytellers. It is divided into three chapters, namely "Sacrifice to the River God", "Trapped Carp", and "Behead the River God".

The third chapter is the climax of the story, and it is also the part with the most versions compiled by other storytellers.

In Yi Shuyuan's story, it is naturally exciting, starting from the appearance of the immortal, to the river god's appeal to heaven, and finally to the demon-slaying stage. The previous depression was released in this chapter, which also made the audience hooked.

Muxin Tea House is just like the Qingyuan Tea House in Mingzhou. It is full of tea customers inside and the streets outside are crowded with people. Even the inspectors from the capital who come to maintain order often stand there and listen for a long time.

It can be said that Yi Shuyuan has attracted the jealousy of all his colleagues, but some colleagues discovered that Mr. Yi was not afraid of his stories being overheard and copied by his colleagues. You know, storytellers usually do this when the story is popular. People are very wary of their peers.

It was also when Yi Shuyuan was talking about the third chapter that this spring had finally begun. Gongsheng students from all over Dayong had to spend several days in the Gongyuan, eating, drinking, having sex, and sleeping inside. You can't leave until you finish the papers.

The martial arts competition will begin at a later time.

For many candidates, this is a major event that affects their life and destiny, and the tension involved cannot be explained to outsiders.

As for today's Emperor Dayong, the past few years have also been a time for him to show off his grand plans, aiming to become a figure comparable to the founding emperors and ancient emperors.

The four words "working hard to govern" have been spurring the emperor almost since he ascended the throne.

After reforming the military, regulating officials, adjusting taxes, and adjusting people's livelihood, Dayong gradually cleaned up the mess, and gradually began to have a somewhat prosperous atmosphere.

That night, Emperor Dayong was still reviewing memorials in the imperial study. This year, he attached great importance to imperial examination fraud, so he just had to watch it personally.

"Your Majesty, it's time for you to rest!"

The eunuch on the side looked distressed, while the emperor waved his hand.

"It's still early. By the way, is Li Qian back?"

"Your Majesty, I'm back. The memorials have been placed on the table. You haven't had a chance to read them yet."

"oh."

The emperor nodded. He was indeed a little sleepy, so he searched first and took out the memorial. This was the official he sent to check along the canal.

Looking at the memorial, the emperor's brows rose slightly.

"It turned out that the statue of Wanli God fell down. Did the sky really kill the Kaiyang River God? Liangxi, do you think there are gods? Are there immortals?"

As a ruler, you need the people to be in awe, to believe in the things about ghosts and gods, and to believe in the emperor's orthodoxy. But as a person, especially the emperor, if you understand some of the emperor's inner thoughts, you will naturally be curious about ghosts and gods you have never seen before.

However, charlatans do exist, and some spells do exist, but if these people are considered immortals, the emperor will not recognize them.

"Oh, Your Majesty, how could this old slave know about it? It's just that this thing is indeed very strange, and there are many people who make up stories and publish them in books!"

The emperor also smiled.

"Tan Yuanshang even came to invite me, saying that he wanted to invite me to listen to books. How can I have such free time?"
