Choose a day to soar

A loud noise like a landslide and earth cracking came to the foot of the mountain. The water of the Nai River had swallowed up the foot of the mountain. The surging river water was getting higher and higher, spreading towards the mountain, eroding everything along the way!

Xu Ying and the snake demon Zhi Qi rushed back to the ruined temple one after another. Suddenly, they felt that the weather had become extremely cold. The snake demon was dazed and almost fell into hibernation due to the cold.

"Anji Qi, hurry up and activate your energy and blood, don't freeze to death!" Xu Ying reminded loudly.

They mobilized the qi and blood to warm the body, but the cold air seemed to have penetrated into the bone marrow, and even the qi and blood could not get rid of it.

Xu Ying trembled and activated the Great Sun Tempering Body, and his body felt slightly warmer.

He clasped his hands together in front of his chest and clasped them violently. A beam of fire burst out from his palms, igniting the extinguished bonfire.

One person and one snake came to the bonfire, and they saw that the color of the bonfire turned gloomy green. From time to time, old people's faces appeared in the green flames, with their eyes hanging, and they screamed, but there was no sound, so intrusive!

"No wonder this temple is in ruins and the feng shui here is not good!" The snake demon Gan Qi trembled in fear.

At the foot of the mountain, a man in yellow robes led five weirdos as fast as flying, rushing towards the mountain.

"True Yang Qi and blood, Yin evil will not invade!"

As Huangpao Lang ran, he muttered words, and suddenly a strong true Yang energy burst out from his body, forcing back the Yin energy and evil energy brought by Naihe.

His True Yang Qi and blood are extremely powerful and domineering, and the surrounding area is like a big furnace, unbearably hot, but with a strong demonic aura.

Under the intrusion of his demonic energy, the five weirdos beside him involuntarily revealed their original shapes and turned into huge monsters!

This Huangpaorang is the mountain god of this stone mountain. His name is Huang Siping. He lives in the mountain temple on weekdays and is revered as the stone mountain god. The five weirdos under him are the monsters guarding the Stone Mountain Temple. They are nothing more than deer, wild foxes, wild dogs, lynx and other monsters.

They guarded the stone mountain and searched for Xu Ying's whereabouts under the orders of the City God. They planned to return to the mountain temple at midnight, but unexpectedly heard the roar of the snake demon Anchi when it broke through, so they came to find him.

As soon as they went up the mountain, the Nai River surged forward, cutting off their escape route. They had no choice but to continue their desperate escape up the mountain!

The stone mountain god Huang Siping led the demons to speed up, but the water in the Naihe River rose too fast and soon swallowed up a fox demon!

The fox demon fell into the water, and in an instant, its fur and flesh melted away, leaving only a withered skeleton that was swept away by the waves.

The demons' scalps were numb and they were running desperately. Under the moonlight, they saw someone's figure moving not far away. Huang Siping, the god of the stone mountain, looked at it and couldn't help being startled: "The grass-headed gods of Dengjiapu, Wujialing, Laobutou and other villages! They! Here too!”

The god in the villages and towns is the Caotou God. After the death of a virtuous person, the soul becomes a god and lives in the statue of the god. But Huang Siping is a great demon cultivator. He has reached the seventh level of martial arts and was named a mountain god. It can be said that he became a god in the flesh.

Although both absorb incense and enjoy sacrifices from the people, they are essentially different.

The grass-headed gods ran for their lives and were swept into the waves of the Nai River one after another. The idols were broken and their souls were swept away by the Nai River without a trace.

The four monsters around Huang Siping, the god of stone mountain, also failed to escape and were swallowed up by the Nai River one after another.

Huang Siping was about to rush to the ruined temple, but he saw someone rushing from the other side of the ruined temple. It was a man dressed as an official, wearing black and red clothes.

When the two met each other, each was startled and put on a defensive posture.

"It turns out to be Mr. Wei, the prison warden." The yellow hair on the face of Stone Mountain God Huang Siping trembled slightly.

The official in black and red clothes was the one who rescued Ding Quan. His name was Wei Chu, and he was one of the eight wardens in Lingling County. During the day, he led two other wardens to pursue Xu Ying and rescued Ding Quan. But after chasing all the way, Xu Ying was never found.

He also heard the elephant cry of the snake demon Anchi when he broke through, so he rushed over. Just as he was going up the mountain, unexpectedly, the Nai River changed its course, and the waves of the river swallowed up his two colleagues!

The death of two Nuo masters shocked Wei Chu.

"It turns out to be the Stone Mountain God." Wei Chu's eyes trembled and he said with a smile.

The City God and the county magistrate Zhou Yang did not deal with each other. They both wanted to control Lingling and fought openly and secretly for many years. Therefore, the officials in Lingling were also somewhat hostile to the gods named after the City God.

Especially this time, Xu Ying's God-killing case has made both sides even more tense, and both sides have issued kill orders against the other's forces!

Wei Chu is not afraid of any grass-headed gods, but Huang Siping, the god of stone mountains, is the demon king and canonized god. He is very powerful and can be said to be his strong enemy!

Huang Siping, the God of Stone Mountain, carried a one-foot-long sword of hundred-refined steel on his back. He put the sword in his hand and said boldly: "The Naihe River changes its course, and we are all facing disaster. Mr. Wei, if we fight with each other, we will both lose." , if we work together to survive, there is still a way to survive. What do you think?"

Wei Chu frowned and looked behind Huang Siping. The Naihe River was still rising and was about to engulf the place. Now the only high ground in Shishan is the ruined temple in front of them.

If they start fighting, they may fall into the water at any time and die.

Wei Chu nodded and said: "When faced with a great crisis, we must help each other. Let's not bring up the past grudges."

The two walked into the ruined temple and saw a young man and a big snake warming up around a bonfire. The bonfire was green and ghosts kept emerging from the bonfire.

"The criminal Xu Ying, do you recognize me?" Wei Chu said in an old-fashioned way, and his official authority was very high.

Xu Ying quickly pinched the money in his sleeve and said alertly: "Master Wei, I don't have any money to give you."

He has seen officials extorting money, and the untouchables would often offer it with a smile on their face and hands holding the money. The officials would not look at the money, but they would take the money quietly with their hands and say not to do this next time. Something like that.

Xu Ying had no money in the past, but now he got a few taels of silver for the first time. He planned to keep it and flee to other places to use it as a bride price to marry a wife, but he didn't want to give it to him.

"Trickster! What do you have up your sleeve?" Wei Chu sneered, "I have a sharp eye, and I can tell if you have any money on me at a glance! But I can't accept your money. The case you committed is too big. I cannot exonerate you. The magistrate has ordered your life."

Xu Ying breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little happy, and said: "If you want me to live, I don't need money. If you want me to die, I will beat you to death. If you want money, I really don't want to give it."

Wei Chu snorted, glanced at Huang Siping, and said, "Does the Stone Mountain God want life or money?"

"I want both money and life!" Huang Siping said with an indifferent expression, "The City God ordered me to take his life. I work for the City God, so it's not easy to ask for money. Kill him, and I will collect money from his body. , we can’t work in vain!”

Wei Chu narrowed his eyes, quietly put his hand into his sleeve, and said with a smile: "The mob promised to kill Jiang Yuanwai. This is a lawsuit in the world."

The yellow hair on Huang Siping's face trembled, and he held the Bailian Saber tightly in his hand: "The god of the Jiang family is the god of the underworld, and Xu Ying's killing of the god is a violation of the laws of the underworld."

Wei Chupi smiled but took out his palm from his sleeve and said: "When the Nai River passes by, both sides will benefit from cooperation, and both will be hurt by fighting. God of Stone Mountain, how about we each take a step back and wait until the Nai River passes before we argue again?"

Huang Siping nodded silently.

Wei Chu sat down by the campfire, glanced at Xu Ying, and said, "You are quite capable as a snake catcher, so why are you a thief?"

Xu Ying stared at the screaming ghosts in the bonfire, and moved the corner of his mouth: "If the gods and officials don't give them a way to survive, the common people have no choice but to kill the gods and officials to find their own way out."

Huang Siping sat opposite Wei Chu and showed a rare smile: "Xu Dashan, you are born with the potential to be decapitated."

Wei Chu smiled and said: "This is demonic nature. Xu Ying, your demonic nature is difficult to tame. If you don't commit a crime today, you will commit a crime sooner or later. Look at the Stone Mountain God, he has been tamed very well."

Huang Siping said calmly: "Master Wei, you are a dog for the Zhou family, and I am a dog for the Yin Court. We are all in the same boat. Why should the eldest brother talk about the second brother?"

Wei Chu smiled and didn't take it seriously.

Xu Ying stood up and looked outside the temple. He saw the water was surging and still rising. It had already reached the entrance of the ruined temple. The water's rising speed is gradually slowing down, but it won't be long before the ruined temple will still be submerged!

He looked around and saw that except for the ruined temple, there was no higher place to hide from Nai He.

"Do you two gentlemen know what happened when Naihe changed its route?" Xu Ying turned around and asked.

Huang Siping and Wei Chu sat in front of the constantly haunted bonfire, warming themselves up, their faces illuminated with green.

Wei Chu's smile seemed a bit sinister, and he said: "There is an old legend that there is a river in the underworld called Nai River, which is the river that carries the souls of the dead. This long river has its own rules in the underworld and will not change its course easily. Let the Nai River flow There is only one thing that changed the route.”

Xu Ying asked: "What's the matter?"

Wei Chu's eyes glowed green by the bonfire, and he smiled and said: "There is a mass death in the world of the world."

Xu Ying was puzzled: "Why would a large-scale death of people cause the Nai River to change its course?"

Wei Chu didn't answer.

Huang Siping said: "The Naihe River is a long river that attracts the souls of the dead. Originally, there were tributaries of the Naihe River in various places in the world. The number of dead people every day was countless. It was enough to collect the souls of the dead on the tributaries of the Naihe River step by step. But if there were large-scale deaths, it would be far away. If the number exceeds the original number, the tributaries of the Nai River will not be able to divert it, and the main trunk of the Nai River will change its course!"

He paused and said, "In other words, in the direction where the Nai River flows, a large-scale death event occurred."

Xu Ying looked towards the direction of the Nai River, which was the west.

"What happened to the west of Lingling? Why did Naihe from the underworld come to the upper world?"

Xu Ying continued to ask, "Isn't it said that Yin and Yang are orderly? The Yin world is the Yin world, and the Yang world is the Yang world. Each has its own operating principle. Why did Naihe invade the Yang world?"

"Good question!" Wei Chu praised, but did not answer because he didn't know the answer either.

Huang Siping also fell silent.

An Qi couldn't help but said: "The invasion of the underworld from the underworld has happened a long time ago. The Naihe River changed its course frequently. As early as 800 years ago, there was a change of course of the Naihe River and the underworld invaded the light world. Later, Tianbao Ten In four years, there was also a diversion of the Nai River.”

Wei Chu and Huang Siping looked at him with doubts.

In Tianbao's fourteenth year, Prince Dongping rebelled, and many people died. This would indeed cause the Nai River to change course, but what happened eight hundred years ago, even old monsters like Huang Siping didn't know.

How could An Qi, a little snake demon, know so clearly?

"My family has a lot of books, and I like to read." An Qi said politely, "Three generations of our ancestors and grandchildren have loved reading, and we have collected countless books over the past three hundred years. My family has a rich academic background and is a scholarly family..."

Wei Chu interrupted him and said, "Studying is useless? Can you be an official?"

An Qi felt aggrieved and stopped talking.

The water level of the Nai River rose and finally poured into the ruined temple. Xu Ying and others immediately got up and jumped to the roof of the temple.

However, they all know that if the water level of the Naihe River continues to rise, it will inevitably submerge the ruined temple, and the water of the Naihe River will definitely dissolve their flesh and blood!

Wei Chu's eyes flashed and he glanced at Xu Ying, Huang Siping and the snake demon Gan Qi, and thought: "Although Naihe can swallow flesh and blood, it seems that it cannot dissolve bones. If the river water rises again, then the only option is to kill them and put them away." Their bones were used as stepping stones!”

He suddenly noticed Huang Siping's eyes twinkling and looked at him secretly, with awe in his heart: "The God of Stone Mountain must also think like me!"

The water is rising higher and higher, gradually invading the main hall of the ruined temple. Water from the Nai River is also coming from the backyard, and the water is about to reach the well under the bell in the pavilion.

Wei Chu was about to kill someone and use the corpse to step on his feet. Suddenly, the light in the ruined temple soared into the sky, illuminating everyone so hard that they could hardly open their eyes!

The bright divine light rushed into the air and exploded suddenly!

"Bang——"

The extremely loud bell sounded, and the exploding light turned into a huge bell-shaped halo, surrounding the ruined temple. As the bell trembled, the water in the surrounding Naihe River was forced back!

On the roof of the ruined temple, Xu Ying and others were horrified. They looked around and saw that the big bell around the ruined temple was a thick wall of light!

Various strange textures appear on the light wall, constantly flashing and disappearing to form different patterns.

And outside this big bell of light, the Naihe River was surging, getting higher and higher. Under the impact of the water, ferocious-looking ghosts kept hitting the wall of the bell, and they were shaken by the big bell and turned into green smoke!

Xu Ying and others felt that the weather was getting warmer again, not as cold as before.

"It's the bell in the gazebo in the backyard!"

Xu Ying woke up and looked towards the pavilion, only to see bright light under the pavilion, shooting out from under the surface of the rusty copper bell.

Everyone came down from the roof and came to the pavilion. Wei Chu wondered: "I didn't expect that there would be such treasures in a ruined temple. But why are these treasures hung here and no one takes them away?"

Suddenly, the stone mountain beneath their feet began to shake violently, and the ground shook!

Xu Ying and the other three people hurriedly stretched out their hands to hold on to the pillars of the pavilion, and then stabilized their bodies, each in shock and uncertainty.

The big bronze bell hanging in the pavilion shone even brighter and dazzlingly. The light shone into the well, illuminating the dark bottom of the well. Xu Ying suddenly caught a glimpse of huge black iron scales sliding at the bottom of the well!

That's a huge body!

He moved closer to the well and took a closer look.

Suddenly, the black iron scales stopped moving and moved away to both sides.

In the dark well, a blue eye with an erect pupil filled the bottom of the well, staring at him faintly.

Countless whispering voices filled Xu Ying's mind, causing thousands of thoughts to pop up in his mind in an instant.
