Treasure of Xiangjiang River

The aquatic monsters pointed at by the sword did not dare to act rashly.

They took the boat down the Xiangjiang River obediently. Originally, they thought that if Wei Yuan was not good at swimming, he could take the opportunity to slip away. However, when the water flow approached Wei Yuan, it actually split into two sides and avoided him. Sitting on the boat steadily, it was more comfortable than on the shore. So they gave up the idea immediately.

Feeling sad, they became underwater boatmen obediently.

Obviously, these monsters are stronger in the Xiangjiang River than on the water.

The speed of the boat going down was much faster.

And this kind of water area with hidden legends, just like the Huaishui River system where Wuzhiqi is located, has a layer hidden under the human world itself, similar to the existence of a paradise. People who have not practiced, or those who are not good enough, will turn a blind eye to it.

Wei Yuan retracted his gaze and asked casually: "How did you know I would be on the shore today?"

The crab monster hesitated and said: "In fact, we didn't know you were going there today."

It felt bitter in its heart. If it had known that he was such a fierce monster, it would not have joined in the fun.

Seeing Wei Yuan looking up, the crab monster hurriedly raised a precious jade and explained:

"It was a jade stone that Madam Nvying secretly gave to me after she woke up two hundred years ago. She said that there was the breath of some people in it, and asked me to wait on the shore. If I saw them, I would take them to the water palace to meet the two ladies."

Wei Yuan's mouth twitched. He never thought that Nvying would let her men guard here all the time.

This is too vengeful.

He didn't ask anything else immediately, and the altitude was constantly decreasing.

The surrounding water flow gradually became quiet, and the temperature was constantly decreasing. Wei Yuan's blood was surging, and he drove away the coldness around him. After about fifteen minutes, he passed through a barrier built purely by magic power. Wei Yuan's eyes lit up, and he had already entered the cave under the Xiangjiang River from the human world.

Seeing the clear river water, he could even see decorations similar to deep-sea corals.

Many fish that were already difficult to see in the outside world swam slowly, emitting gorgeous colors in the colorful light naturally emitted by the corals. The pressure here was a little bit high. Wei Yuan relied on what he had gained when he acted as the divine power of the Huai River before, pinched a water avoidance formula, and then followed the crab monsters to the palace at the bottom of the river.

In fact, he was still a little strange in his heart. Although Ehuang and Nvying were the daughters of Emperor Yao.

But they did not have any particularly great achievements, nor did they belong to the ancient heroes of that era who fought against the heaven and earth. After death, they could actually become the origin of the Xiangshui mythology and legend. Something special must have happened.

As he was thinking, the palace was getting closer and closer. Wei Yuan felt something strange and frowned slightly.

How...

Is there a demon?

......

Outside the not-so-luxurious Xiangshui Water Palace, there was a circle of water monsters that originally belonged to the Xiangshui area. They all looked at the palace with some trepidation. Wei Yuan and the crab monsters came over, but they didn't attract their attention.

The crab monster glanced at Wei Yuan, and asked with a tense face:

"What's wrong? Why are you all gathered here?"

"Isn't there a grand festival for the two ladies today? There is a temple fair on the mountain outside, and there will be distinguished guests coming later. What are you doing here instead of helping?"

One of the maids with a gauze on one shoulder and a pair of drooping hair turned her head, her face pale, and whispered:

"Some guests have come."

"But, but the bad guests have also come..."

"Bad guests?"

The crab monster was stunned.

Wei Yuan raised his hand and pulled aside the pearl curtain. He looked over and saw a desk in the ancient-style lobby. Behind it sat men and women in long robes with clear auras.

Based on Wei's experience of cutting down mountains and destroying temples for at least three lifetimes, these were all spirits transformed from the pure air in the mountains and waters. They had some magical powers and could manipulate some of the water divine power within a range of ten or thirty miles. They were worshipped as pseudo-gods such as the water god by the people in the mountain villages.

If they were conferred by the dynasty, they would be proper earth gods.

Now, it was considered a wild worship.

Everyone looked pale, some wanted to leave, some were angry, but they didn't dare to show it. They could only stay in their original positions stiffly. It was not right to leave, and it was not right not to leave.

These are harmless. What attracted Wei Yuan's attention was the group of people, or monsters, sitting in the middle. The leader was a big man with bulging muscles on his shoulders and arms. There were faint traces of tattoos on his upper arms.

A closer look revealed that it was clearly a dark green fish scale.

"Fish monster?"

And it was a spiritual one that had tasted flesh and blood.

Wei Yuan narrowed his eyes. He really didn't expect to see this scene after coming down. The crouching tiger waist badge whistled softly. He buckled the waist badge and turned to look at the crab monster next to him, who looked unhappy after understanding the current situation. He said, "How can the dignified Xiangshui River God not take down a powerful fish spirit?"

The crab monster was embarrassed, but didn't say anything.

The girl with long hair didn't know the identity of the man in front of her. She just sighed and said:

"Who made our two ladies wake up not long ago?"

"In the past, they slept more and woke up less. Nowadays, few people are sincere in burning incense and offering sacrifices. They only burn a few thin incense sticks during festivals and treat temple fairs as places for fun. In this way, the incense is definitely not enough."

"That monster is different. It has grown for more than 800 years and has thick skin and flesh."

Wei Yuan frowned and said:

"...What about the other monsters in the Xiang River? Let this fish monster that has existed for more than 800 years dominate alone?"

The pretty maid sighed and counted on her fingers:

"Originally, although our Xiang River is not big, it is connected to the Huai River system, one of the four great rivers. There were originally many powerful gods. But two thousand years ago, the Black Ice Platform under the First Emperor went crazy and not only killed all the monsters in the water, but also cut down all the tree monsters on the mountain. OK. "

"It turns out that Xiangjiang, which is still a holy land, is in a slump."

"We were not born at that time, we just left a few portraits."

"The Crab Commander is still alive, but it is difficult to achieve Taoism. Taoism cannot beat the fish."

Wei Yuan: "..."

The crab lowered his head and dared not speak. Wei Yuan looked away embarrassedly and said:

"Then in the past two thousand years, there will never be a monster that has not grown up, right?"

The girl said sadly, "Something is there."

"Apart from this big fish spirit, there are also many aquatic spirits who have mastered the Tao, and they can check and balance each other, which is okay."

"But they often do evil things that make trouble on weekdays. A while ago, I went to Huai River and I don't know which evil god master was provoked. All of them were beheaded and blood flowed for hundreds of miles. Alas, our lives are not going to be easy."

Wei Yuan: "..."

The crab demon quickly grabbed the maid and turned her eyes wildly to tell her not to ask any more.

The maid didn't understand what she meant. Seeing that Wei Yuan looked uncomfortable, she comforted him and said:

"But you don't have to worry."

"Although the two ladies are not as strong as they were in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, if they really fight, these monsters will definitely not be their opponents, not to mention that there will be a distinguished guest of high status coming later."

The maid's voice was soft and comforting. Wei Yuan smiled and thanked her.

The maid felt kind, but scared the crab half to death.

Wei Yuan glanced at the two big claws of the crab. It was autumn now, and the crab looked really fat. If he took off the two crab claws, didn't do anything else, just steamed it, cut the young ginger into thin strips, soaked it with fragrant vinegar, and dipped it in it, it would definitely taste good.

What a pity...

During the Shanhaijing period, there was no vinegar or ginger...

The crab monster wanted to pull the maid, but he felt a chill all over his body.

It felt like being stared at by a top predator in the Xiangjiang River before becoming a spirit. The hair on my body stood up. I took a few steps back and turned my head. I saw Wei Yuan raising his hand to sweep away the pearl curtain and walked in openly.

......…

Wei Yuan dispersed the illusion he had just cast and was still dressed in a modern style.

The sound of the pearl curtain colliding attracted the attention of some monsters, but the fat fish monster with 800 years of Taoism was still feasting. After walking in, Wei Yuan noticed that in addition to the obviously rough fish monster, there were two other monsters, both of whom were somewhat Taoism.

A lobster became a Taoism and turned into a handsome young man, holding a glass of wine.

There was another one who seemed to have a bit of dragon spirit on him.

It is natural that the blood is thin, but in this era, this little bit of dragon blood is enough for it to be proud for a long time. With these two monsters, Wei Yuan also knows the situation of Ehuang and Nvying. They became the gods of Xiangshui for unknown reasons, and the sacrifices and incense are getting weaker and weaker year by year.

Perhaps they are not afraid of one monster, and they can deal with two.

But if three big monsters come together, they will inevitably fall into the disadvantage.

Wei Yuan sat down on the table on one side in a dignified manner.

He looked up and saw Ehuang and Nvying at the top, smiling and nodding, as if he didn't know the grudges between them at all. Ehuang was just surprised and maintained her composure, but Nvying widened her eyes, and her dark eyes seemed to be burning with fire. She gritted her teeth and looked at Wei Yuan and sat down like this.

When he saw that Wei picked up a few grapes on the table and bit them, the flames almost burst out.

That calm and composed look and expression seemed to be talking to her.

'Come down and beat me if you can. Come on.'

Nüying, who was originally a lively person, gritted her teeth.

There was a water snake spirit next to Wei Yuan. It sniffed the smell, lowered its voice, and asked curiously:

"Brother, what kind of fish are you? Why don't you smell fishy at all?"

Wei Yuan retracted his gaze and laughed casually: "Human."

The water snake spirit suddenly realized and said: "Oh, mermaid spirit."

"I didn't expect that there are mermaid spirits in our inland waters. I thought there were only mermaid spirits in the sea."

"Then brother, do you have any mermaid sisters in your family? Introduce them to me?"

"No, my family is all male."

The water snake spirit regretted, then glanced at Wei Yuan and added:

"If it is a mermaid family, males are not impossible."

? ? !

Wei Yuan's mouth twitched, and he fooled the snake spirit casually.

The fish demon over there gulped down the wine, and after finishing a jar of wine, he suddenly smashed the jar with force and shouted:

"Ladies Ehuang and Nvying, we have given you two gifts. Today is the day of the grand sacrifice, and now we have brought the wine ourselves, not to mention the dishes. What are these? We have to come here early, and you treat us like this?"

"Why don't you bring out some real good things? Do you look down on us?!"

The surrounding monsters slapped the table and shouted.

"Yes!"

"That's right!"

"That's right!"

Ehuang and Nuying frowned. The fish demon seemed to see that no one could control him, so he laughed even more wantonly, deliberately speaking rudely and winking: "If you don't want to take out the treasure, there are other ways."

"In fact, I am more than 800 years old, and I only have some concubines, not a wife. I think Ehuang and Nuying are really beautiful. If you don't mind me, we can make do with each other."

"I will also be a brother-in-law with the ancestor of the human race."

All the demons laughed together.

Wei Yuan, who was drinking carelessly, raised his eyes slightly.

A slight chill flashed in her eyes, and she pressed her palm on the hidden hilt of the sword. The sharp blade came out of the sheath an inch, and the cold light was restrained in the sheath. The coldness of the sword energy emitted made the water snake spirit next to her feel uncomfortable, shivering, and her body was a little stiff.

Ehuang and Nvying had died for love after Emperor Shun died, so they were naturally strong-willed. Nvying was furious when she heard this, raised her hand and slammed the table, saying:

"You are so presumptuous!"

She was about to do it regardless of everything.

However, Ehuang was still able to keep her composure, holding her sister, and sweeping across the demons in the hall, she said in a cold tone: "There have been many people who want to covet the treasure of my Xiangjiang River from ancient times to the present, but no one has succeeded. If you want to try, it's fine, but I have to say that if you fail, you will bear all the consequences yourself."

She flipped her hand and took out an object, and the powerful and simple magic power wave escaped, causing ripples in the water.

All the demons and monsters present looked over there.

The treasure was hidden in a stream of light.

Wei Yuan paused for a moment and looked over there subconsciously.

He sensed a very familiar aura on the Xiangjiang treasure.
