The Immortal Monarch Xia was deceived

After waiting for half an hour, the shadow of the boat gradually became clear, and it really was a ferry.

After a few scattered people got off the boat, the boatman asked the four if they wanted to cross the river.

"One liang of silver per person." The boatman saw the horse behind the four of them again, "Each horse costs one liang of silver."

Xie Guanhe took out the broken silver and was about to hand it to the other party, but Yang Wentuo pinched his arm to stop the transaction.

Yang Huiyu crossed his arms and looked at the boatman with a slight sneer of arrogance, obviously, like Yang Wentuo, he laughed at his price.

A prince traveling in modest clothes, and a senior official of the third rank began to haggle with the same boatman for a few taels of silver.

"It only costs a few pennies to cross the river on weekdays, why do you need two taels of silver per person today?"

The boatman saw that these four people were dressed in brocade robes and had extraordinary appearance, so he knew at a glance that they were from high families.

He originally thought that he was from a wealthy family and he was an outsider. He didn't know the local price, let alone cared about such a small amount of money, but he didn't expect to be an expert.

"That was the price in the past." The boatman said eloquently, "The Xiangjiang River has risen recently, and the only people who dare to cross the river in such rapids are members of our Fen Shui Gang."

"In this way, Ma, I won't charge you money. It's still one tael per person."

He sternly said again, "If you don't want to take my boat to cross the river, you won't be able to reach the other side in three days."

"Two taels of silver." Yang Wentuo's modest and polite tone revealed a natural majesty.

"Two or three. If you want to sit, you can sit. If you don't sit, you can find another way by yourself."

Yang Wentuo smiled slightly, and Yang Huiyu took out three taels of silver and threw it into the hands of the boatman.

The four got on the boat, Xie Guanhe whispered: "It's not easy to sail in big water."

He believes that it is normal for boatmen to sit on the ground and raise prices when the water in the Xiangjiang River rises, and there is nothing wrong with this.

Not to mention that the two would bargain with the boatman.

Yang Wentuo snorted and didn't answer.

Yang Huiyu snorted lightly: "These people always watch the dishes, you can watch them later."

"Why don't you sail?" Chi Si didn't care about money at all, but just watched Aji bargaining with others, and found it very interesting.

They boarded the boat, and the boatman collected the money, but he just stayed at the bow and did nothing.

"The national teacher sits high in the court, and he really doesn't eat the fireworks of the world." Yang Huiyu smiled contemptuously with a bit of sarcasm.

Yang Wentuo explained: "He has to wait for a few more guests before sailing."

Several people waited on the shore for more than half an hour.Finally, I waited until the other guests who wanted to cross the river.

A few locals didn't inquire about the price, but directly gave the money and boarded the boat.

Ten cents per person—this is the cost of crossing the river after the water rises.

After the boat passed, Yang Wentuo took a playful look at Xie Guanhe.

Whether it is a hero of the rivers and lakes or a high official in the temple, at this moment, he is only allowed to be slaughtered by black-hearted boatmen.

"But it's okay, he's just defrauding foreign merchants of their money, but it's still a serious business." Cold fingers swiftly passed Chi Si's jaw, intentional or unintentional temptation is the most deadly.

"It's difficult to supervise the river, and it's not uncommon for boats to go to the middle of the river to seek money and kill. They like you the most, you can sell it to the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, and you can earn more than three years of hard work on the boat."

In the public, such a subtle but grandiose molestation quickly ignited the evil fire in Chi Si's body and mind.

He hadn't eaten for several days and was already hungry.The sharp jade food is still deliberately tempting in front of my eyes.

He was so hungry that he was full of evil thoughts and stood upright, but he had no choice but to grind his teeth aside, suppressing the evil thoughts in his heart.

Yang Wentuo kept Chen Cang in secret, and set fire to it quietly, but on the surface, he was humble and polite, and asked the passengers on the same boat about the local situation.

He was of good quality and good in speech, and all the fellow passengers scrambled to answer his questions.

The theory of the Dragon God descending to earth is widely spread in the local area, not to mention that everyone in the local area knows it, even in several nearby counties.

But when the beginning of spring comes, it will be very different from now.

The Dragon King appears when he begs for rain in spring.

"How did it appear? What were the signs?"

The passengers shook their heads, expressing that they had never seen the scene with their own eyes.I just heard that it rained after worshiping in the Dragon King Temple, and then the wind and rain in Linxiang were smooth. Even though the surrounding counties were dry and rainless in spring, the place was stable and peaceful.

"I heard that someone saw the Dragon King's transformation. He is a Taoist priest with a fairy appearance." A boat passenger said.

I don't know who the source of this rumor came from, but it was passed on one after another, and soon everyone knew about it.

The people in the city didn't know that the Taoist priest was transformed by the Dragon King, and they respected all the Taoist priests.

They also often visit the Dragon King Temple, and the temple is full of incense.

But other than that, the life of residents has not changed in any other way.

Spring passed smoothly and smoothly, and then summer ushered in.

The Xiangjiang River swelled, and there was heavy rain on the ground, and the city would be flooded every three to five days.The water came back two days later, and the people were miserable.

The common people entered the temple to worship the Dragon King one after another. At this time, a vision appeared in the temple—someone heard the stone dragon king speak.

The Dragon Lord can help ordinary people control the water, but he needs to enshrine a beauty for him.

"Who heard the stone carving speak?"

No one saw the boat passengers, but the residents of the city said so.Rumors passed through the mouths of the people, adding salt and vinegar to life, and portraying the scene of the Dragon King speaking miraculously.

But no one dared to agree to the request for tribute.

It has only been a few months since the Dragon King came down to earth, and the offering of a living person has never happened before, and the government ignored it.

However, waterlogged once every three days, and the embankment that the government asked people to build couldn't be blocked for some reason.

So some people paid tribute to the beauty in private.

"Who offered it? Who did it offer? What was the situation at that time?"

The long and slender fingers deliberately slid across the stunning chin beside him, the provocative meaning was blatantly vague: "Does the beauty you present have such beauty?"

Chi Si was burned with hunger and was tortured secretly.

The passengers are still asking three questions.No one knew about it at the time.

The frequent waterlogging suddenly stopped.The water in the Xiangjiang River subsided temporarily, the torrential rain stopped raging, and the people's lives returned to peace.

Everyone felt strange. Several days later, there were rumors in the neighborhood that someone had enshrined a living person.

The boatman glanced cautiously at the boatman, and said in a low voice, "It is said that people from the Fenshui Gang did it."

They can't say much about other things.

Everyone doesn't know which girl the Fen Shui Gang enshrined to Lord Long, and they don't know what the tribute is like now.

But when the flood was eliminated, the people who paid the tribute had nothing to do with their own families, and the people were just happy to sit back and enjoy the benefits.

Not long ago, the news spread from no one knows where it came from, and it spread all over the streets and alleys overnight, and everyone knew it.

The Dragon Lord wanted the beauty of the world as a tribute again.

On this month's offering, Linxiang will continue to be peaceful and peaceful.If there is no tribute, the Dragon King will not keep peace next month.

How should the people respond to such a strange event?Do you want to continue worshiping this beauty in the world?

The county magistrate of Linxiang County is a good official who cares about the people. He does not want to pay tribute to living people, but he is worried about floods.Suddenly it occurred to him that there was a national teacher in Beijing, so he reported the matter to the imperial court.

At this moment, the people in Linxiang don't know that the true immortal from the upper realm has arrived in Linxiang, and is being tortured in secret on a boat, enduring the torture of being burned by the evil fire.
