Land god

Du Qian and his party found an open space in the woods not far from the hot spring valley, lay down under a tree and fell asleep. In the thin clouds and mist, only a halo is revealed.

When they went to the valley, they saw that the peasants had gone back to sleep in the woods, and the Taoist priests were also snoring from their reed huts.

Seeing that the time had come, Du Qian murmured in the bald head's ear. The bald head listened to the joy and nodded repeatedly in agreement. Then he gave Xiaozhu another order, and Xiaozhu was even more elated and eager to try.

After the arrangements were made, Du Qian drilled into the soil and used the earth escape to reach the bottom of the hot spring valley, where the underground water veins connect with the cracks in the rock formation.He gathered a large amount of water and earth energy, agitated the river water that was scalded by the rock wall, and controlled it to rush to the ground along the waterway at a speed a hundred times faster than before.

"Bah!" The steaming water jet sprayed into the sky from the spring like a white dragon, and under Du Qian's control, it shot towards the Ash House not far away, "Wow!" The water jet rushed directly to the weak Ash House However, those Taoist priests were low in strength, and they were all asleep, and they were scalded by the hot water falling from the sky without any precautions.

Fortunately, the boiling water had already cooled down a lot after flying several hundred meters in the air, and it didn't kill them, but the pain was unavoidable.When they ran to a distance in naked clothes, they saw a water dragon rumbling back and forth in the valley, and all the construction work was washed away. At the same time, there was a strong wind blowing from a distance. Suddenly, big stones whizzed and smashed past them, and several Taoist priests huddled together like chicks in the autumn wind in fright.

The civilian husbands who were sleeping in the woods in the distance also heard the sound, and they all ran out and stared at the spectacle in amazement.The water dragon raged for a full quarter of an hour, rushing all the buildings out of the valley, and then gradually extinguished.

Du Qian looked at his results, and was satisfied with the bald head and Xiaozhu. The two of them had put in a lot of effort just now. The stone was thrown, and the two joined forces to create a great reputation.

After the three of them worked hard, there was a commotion in the construction site, not to mention the panic of the Taoist priests, and the peasants in the distance started talking.

"God! What was that just now! A monster?"

"Fart, if you want me to say, that is the dragon god at the bottom of the water is angry. These evil ways are not good people, and they practice Taoism in the place of other dragon gods."

"Yes, this is retribution! I said a long time ago that this is not a good thing!"

"Yes, yes, let's all leave tomorrow. Don't let us be implicated. If something like this happens, the job won't be done. Even the elders in the government will not blame it."

"That's right, Er Gen, who came to deliver food yesterday, said that Mr. Zhao's garden in the east of the city pays a lot more than this, and he takes care of food and housing. Why should we stay in this barren mountain and wild forest and do something unreliable?" Son?"

The folk husbands talked a lot, and they unified their opinions after a while, and they packed up and left at dawn.Although those Taoist priests were impatient, it was useless to force them to stay. Besides, they were also worried. The momentum last night was too great, and it was far beyond what they could handle. left.

The troublemakers were all chased away, Du Qian and his party came to take a bath happily, only to see that the hot spring had been repaired by those peasants, the chaotic stones by the spring were replaced by flat bluestones, and it was convenient for bathing. It is a good thing that the bluestone steps to sit on and the bottom of the water are covered with pebbles, which are clean and clear.

The bald head happily took off his clothes and took a bath. At this time, Du Qian had some immunity, so he wouldn't be too embarrassing in front of the bald head's body, and then he also got into the water.

Finally, the little tiger jumped down with a plop, splashing several meters of water, splashing half of the water in the pool, and thumping mischievously, but was knocked on the forehead by Du Qian, This is honest.

After soaking for a while, the little tiger went to find something to eat, and practiced boxing by the water with his bald head, while Du Qian dived into the water vein to collect the real fire of the extreme earth.

Du Qian has been to the lava cave with the magma river many times before, and he is already familiar with it. Now that he is more powerful, he is not afraid of the heat of the magma, so he stands on the edge of the magma river and collects the inside The earth is really hot.

Because he was afraid of doing too much and causing the magma river to change, which would affect the hot springs on the ground, Du Qian controlled the speed, and the bright white earth fires slowly flew up one by one, like water droplets remaining on the eaves after the rain , drop by drop fell into the cupping jar, and it took two hours to gather a small half of the jar.

Du Qian persisted patiently. During this process, his spirit body also absorbed a lot of real earth fire scattered in the air, and it glowed faintly, so Du Qian would stop every hour. Come down and use the mental method to digest the earth energy inhaled into the spirit body, and then continue.

Because of his improved strength, Du Qian stayed here for six full hours, filling a cupping jar before coming out.

I saw that the bald head was already cooking on the ground, and fatty fish and tender lamb were grilled on the red-hot slate—all of which were the prey the little assistant hunted.

Seeing Du Qian coming out, the bald man smiled and handed him a well-baked apple.The baked apples have a special aroma, and they are carefully made by the bald head, so Du Qian happily took them and inhaled them with relish.

Xiaosuke maintains the ethics of a carnivore, and is not interested in vegetables and fruits, and squats aside wholeheartedly waiting for grilled fish and lamb.

The valley is as warm as spring, but there is too much water vapor. At night, they found a dry place nearby to rest for the night. The next day, Du Qian went down again to collect the real fire of the extreme earth. This time he will fill another one. Cupping.

Because he came here to collect real fire not only to fulfill his promise to the Vesta, but also because he needed a large amount of real fire to smelt the gold nuggets to refine the huge golden treasure tree.

A few hours later, Du Qian collected another can of Earth's Real Fire as he wished, and returned to the ground the same way. However, as soon as he got his head up, he saw the bald head wearing armor, riding a little helper chasing a white-bearded old man in the air. The white-bearded old man was flying in the air in a wooden boat, avoiding the palm of the bald head while attacking with a green jade sword.

As soon as Du Qian saw that his bald head was being attacked, he immediately drew out the golden whip, but at the same time he struck out, he found that the old man had no killing intent, and the attack was often done with his hands behind him, so when he changed his mind, the force on the golden whip suddenly Recovered three points.

"Crack!" The golden whip that turned into a golden rainbow struck the jade sword swiftly and precisely. Since Du Qian withdrew his force, the jade sword was just repulsed.

Seeing Du Qian's appearance, the bald head and the old man withdrew their hands at the same time, and the bald head shouted at him: "Du Qian, this old man is here to grab the territory, and he also arrested Lao Liu and Xiao Qi!"

"Cough!" Hearing what the bald head said, the old Taoist coughed in embarrassment, and then said loudly to Du Qian: "Your Excellency is He Fang Zunshen, I am not here to grab the territory, but I just heard from my disciples that there are monsters that harm people here. , so let’s check it out.”

Du Qian looked carefully at the old Taoist's wooden boat, and sure enough, he saw two monsters in the hot spring, one old and one young, imprisoned by the old Taoist's feet with talisman papers, so he flashed his eyes and said with a smile: "The Taoist priest So, is it possible that someone was killed here?"

The old Taoist paused, shook his head and said, "That's not true."

"Since no one has ever been killed, where did the monsters that harm people come from? The two on the Daochang's boat are little monsters that were born and raised nearby. Because they looked honest, I kept them by my side to serve them. Why did the Daoist catch them for no reason? go?"

The old Taoist looked embarrassed and said: "It turned out to be a demon servant of the god, but the poor Taoist offended him. I just heard many folks say that there were many visions here last night, and a Taoist temple was destroyed. The poor Taoist couldn't help feeling suspicious." I thought it was a monster." Saying this, the old Taoist tore off the talisman papers on the two little monsters and let them go. The old one and the young one immediately ran over tremblingly and stood behind Du Qian. They were imprisoned, but they could hear what Du Qian said, so they understood that the god wanted to save their lives.

Du Qian laughed, waved his hands at the old Taoist and said: "It's a reckless thing to say, because this is a place where I and my friends often come to play. Yesterday I saw someone digging and digging, and I threw everything away in a moment of anger. It was scraped away, why is this Taoist temple built by the Taoist priest? If so, I’m sorry, just ask how many Taoist priests have lost, and the god will compensate according to the price.”

The old Taoist looked at Du Qian with embarrassment, but he didn't expect that this god would take the initiative to take the matter down, so it would be difficult for him to pursue it, so he said: "So it turns out that the Taoist temple is not poor, it's just that some juniors are messing around. That's all, but they came to start the work in a fair manner with the documents of the government's fief, why did the gods destroy things without saying hello, and injured them all."

Du Qian pretended to be surprised and said: "Why did the Taoist priest say that? My god didn't beat them, but just accidentally let them be splashed by the hot spring water. Could it be that they got cold because of this?"

The old Taoist also understood in his heart that his apprentices were too ineffective, and the mere hot spring water could burn a practitioner, which really made him feel ashamed.

The old Taoist didn't reply yet, but Du Qian said again: "The Taoist priest just said the government's documents? Are you joking? The mortal government only manages the cities, towns and towns, but these lofty mountains belong to practitioners. What's the matter?" It’s a government document that can decide.”

The old man's face turned pale.Whether this place is far or near from the mortal city, no one can say clearly that the government can ignore it, but it is indeed a bit embarrassing for a cultivator to talk about official documents.The meaning of this god's words is very clear - if you want this place, you have to fight it out in the way of a cultivator.And this place is just a thin fire vein, and only his disciples and grandchildren who can't reach the level will take a fancy to it. It is not worth it for him to tear his face with a powerful god, and the old man said nothing more at the moment. After a few vague words, he took his leave in a wooden boat and left.
