The daily life of the river god

Chapter 15

One day, when the spring was in full bloom, the scholar was invited by his friends to go out for an outing to enjoy the flowers. He played until the sun went down and then returned home. When he passed by the incense-filled Dragon King Temple, the scholar saw the colorful peach blossom branches beside the road, and he went I broke one and took it into the Dragon King Temple.

When no one was paying attention, he placed the burning peach blossom on the altar, among the table of cooked food.

For the first time in his life, a scholar who did such a bold act, blushed and lowered his head before leaving.

Under the peach tree in front of the Dragon King Temple, the passerby was lazily standing under the tree, waiting for the scholar who had done something bad and wanted to escape to pass by, and bullied him to block the other's way.

"Don't send eggs this time, but peach blossoms again?"

That day, one person and one spirit stood under the peach blossom tree, when a newly bloomed peach blossom fell from the treetop, landed on 虺's shoulder, rolled twice, and landed at the scholar's feet again.

………………

"Huh, your work attitude is not good, take it." Lu Wenren stuffed the large garbage bag in his hand into the hands of this non-human who was distracted all the way.

Hui came back to his senses, looked down at the extra black bag in his hand, and raised his hand to throw it away.

"Don't throw it!"

Lu Wenren saw this scene with sharp eyes, and rushed over to stop him.

He patted down the garbage bag that was about to rise up, and stuffed it back into the palm of the 虺, "You are obedient, if you really like the dragon scale necklace, I will make a new one for you when I go back tonight."

He thought that Hui was distracted all the way because he was thinking about his necklace, and since he had never worked part-time, he coaxed him a few words in a nice voice.

On the side of the old stone bridge, there were two rows of cleaners standing on the left and right, besides that, Nine-Tailed Fox and General Xia Bing also came to help.

"I don't know how to pick up trash." Xun looked at the river where the trash was higher than the mountain, with a black line floating across his forehead.

"I don't know how, so let's learn together." Lu Wenren said that these were all minor problems.

The ten specially invited cleaners first divided their territory, and then began to put on waterproof rain boots and go down the river to collect garbage.

Lu Wenren led Xia Bing to thank General, and dragged up the small garbage that was readily available on the bank of the river, and put them into their own garbage bags.

"We start from the right, and you and Jiuwei start from the left. Let's see who picks up the most garbage." Lu Wenren stood on the old stone bridge, pointed at this 卝-shaped river, and with a big wave of his hand, everyone was responsible. Area.

He turned around on the spot and went to the river on the left leading to the small western-style building.

Kyuubi followed behind him, carrying a garbage bag and ran all the way to catch up with him.

"Boss, Maria hasn't come back yet. I haven't seen her since yesterday's accident. I went to the Nanhua community to inquire, and the child named Jiang Jiujiu hasn't come home either. The couple are still looking for the child everywhere. Why? What to do?" Kyuubi didn't intend to pick up trash at first.

When she was working at the neighborhood committee in the morning, she overheard her colleagues discussing the Nanhua community. She asked a question and found out that the child hadn't come home yet.

Kyuubi asked for leave on the spot and went to Maria's house, but the door was locked and there was no one inside.

He looked up at the figure on the other side: "How far have you customized your tools?"

Across the five-meter-wide river, Lord River God, who was walking on the river bank on the right, was leading two disciples from Yuqing Palace, and they were also discussing the same issue.

Xia Bing picked up the plastic bottle on the ground and said: "The kid named Jiang Jiujiu is currently living in the Yuqing Palace. The wounds on his body have all healed after being treated by the elder brother, but he said he would rather become a monk and become a Taoist priest." I also don’t want to go back to Nanhua Community, and said that if his parents see him back home intact, they will definitely force him to go to hobby classes as before, and they will beat him if they disagree.”

"We'll go see him later, what about the other non-human?"

Lu Wenren remembered that at the construction site yesterday, there was another man who was dressed like the statue in the living room.

Mentioning the other non-human, Xie Jiang’s head started to hurt, "My lord, this non-human was smuggled from the Western God Realm, and she was chanting Hallelujah to Sanqing all day long in Yuqing Palace, singing The so-called hymn. The Taoist priest in the temple said that if he doesn’t take her away today, he will join the Western God religion with this goddess.”

The Taoist priests in the sub-construction of the Yuqing Palace had learned Qimen Dunjia all their lives, but when they were old, they were blocked in the Taoist temple by a Western god who was full of hallelujah, and they were forcibly brainwashed and converted to believe in Jesus.

Let's do it, the other party is a girl and a western god, many Taoist priests can't do it.

Don't do it, if Yuqing Palace is sung by the goddess again, everyone will open their mouths and change their surnames.

Lu Wenren didn't expect that the non-human who seemed to only be able to sing and cry yesterday had such great abilities.

Decided to go to Zengcheng Fenguan of Yuqing Palace in person in the afternoon.

One morning, with the help of ten cleaners and a few non-human beings, they dragged all the shared bicycles in the river to the shore, loaded a whole truck, and Lu Wenren even dragged three refrigerators from the river together. Two old-fashioned TV sets, six jars of pickled vegetables, and all kinds of unrecognizable wood corroded by river water.

After the large garbage was swept away, the water level of the entire river dropped by ten centimeters.

In the afternoon, the cleaners continued to use fishing nets to salvage the remaining rubbish in the river, and Lu Wenren took Xu, Xia Bing and others to Yuqing Palace.

Nine tails were worried that if they went to Yuqing Palace, they might all be wiped out, so they found an excuse to slip away, and only Xun followed Lu Wenren.

The Yuqing Palace is located in the North District. Xia Bing got out of the car with his new boss, and pointed proudly at the Taoist temple with verdant cypresses and pink and mud walls in front of it. .

"The child and the goddess live in the wing room in the backyard."

Xia Bing led the way for them, and they bypassed the visiting pilgrims and went to the backyard of the guest room.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Lu Wenren heard that somewhat familiar voice.

"Hallelujah, the Lord will forgive all your sins, and all your actions are under the watchful eyes of the Lord. As long as you believe in the Lord and swear to become his believers and promote his teachings, you will be free from all suffering. Amen."

The courtyard door was pushed open, and the blond girl in a long white dress knelt on the ground praying with clenched fists in front of her body.

Directly opposite, Jiang Jiujiu, who had just healed his wound, was kneeling there in a dignified manner. Maria said a word, and he read a word, and closed his eyes and knelt there in confession after reading.

"Why do you have to repent and ask for forgiveness if you didn't do anything wrong?" Lu Wenren stood in front of the big and small, looking at Jiang Jiujiu who opened his eyes in puzzlement.

"So you think your parents beat you, punished you, enrolled you in nine interest classes, and installed poisonous dragon scales in your palms. All these things are your fault?" Lu Wenren bent over and squeezed This little human who just had a wound had a cold smile: "If you think so, why do you still stay in the Yuqing Palace? You are waiting for me to call your parents to come over and beat you up again. Pressing you to go to nine interest classes?"

The child who was kneeling on the ground and following Maria’s confession opened his eyes wide and listened to Lu Wenren’s words that were more than a devil, and refused without thinking: “I don’t want it! I don’t want to go back! I don’t want to go home, I want to become a monk As a Taoist priest, my sister will help me."

Maria hugged Jiang Jiujiu, who was rushing forward, and glared at the new river god who interrupted their prayer again: "My lord, God has rules, please don't question other people's beliefs casually."

"Your belief is to allow a human being who has been hurt to admit that he deserves everything he has suffered. Xia Bing, tell her what your teachings of Yuqing Palace are." Lu Wenren waved and asked Xia Bing to stand up and tell these suffering Be a blessed non-human.

Xia Bing held his head up and said, "The Supreme Master said that good and evil are rewarded like a shadow, so there is a god in heaven and earth who punishes mistakes, and according to the severity of the crime, it is counted as taking people away." (Note 1)

Lu Wenren smiled: "She doesn't understand, let's talk to her more simply."

It was the first time that Xia Bing taught another god in front of the gods. His whole body was so excited that his neck turned red. Hearing this, he said in a loud voice that could be heard in the whole backyard: "Our Taoists still say that my fate is up to me. ! Your own destiny should be in your own hands."

Sitting in Maria's arms, Jiang Jiujiu looked at the scene in front of him, and his ignorant eyes gradually became brighter.

"Jiang Jiujiu!" Maria looked at the child who broke free from her arms.

Jiang Jiujiu stood up, and the nine-year-old boy unswervingly broke free from the embrace of his kind sister, walked up to Lu Wenren and looked up at the fairy.

He lived in the Taoist temple for a day, and he heard from Sister Maria that this person is a newly descended god who specializes in governing the entire western region of humans and non-humans.

"Brother, I figured it out. I don't need to repent, and I don't need God's forgiveness, because I didn't do anything wrong at all."

"So go home quickly!" Lu Wenren said with a disgusted face.

On the way here, Xia Bing told him explicitly and secretly that he had to pay for the living expenses of these people in the Taoist temple.

Jiang Jiujiu refused, "I want to become a Taoist priest, and when I grow up, I will guard the West District with my brother, just like these two Taoist priests."

He pointed to the location of Xia Bing and General Xie.

As the current god of the river in the West District, a certain fairy refused without thinking: "No, when you grow up and help me, I will support you for at least 20 years. I can't afford it."

"My parents are rich, they will pay for it." Jiang Jiujiu turned around and betrayed his parents.

The new river god of the poor god raised his eyebrows, "Continue talking."

Encouraged, Jiang Jiujiu really went on: "I watched TV, brother, you can pretend to kidnap me, and then ask my parents for a ransom, then the money can be used to raise me, I am very easy to raise, It can help you for up to 15 years."

Jiang Jiujiu introduced himself to him with his fingers, "Actually, my grades are also very good. The last exam was No. 3 in the whole school. I also kept in the top five of the nine interest classes. Brother, you don't need to spend money, just cooperate with me." , you can get a smart and hardworking labor force after 15 years for free."

General Xie, who was standing aside as the background board, looked at the magical scene in front of him, and whispered into his friend's ear, "Is this fairy a bit seriously ill?"

Just teaching bad kids.

"Is there? Xie Jiang, you were not academically active when you were young. Every time you were beaten by the master, you would steal the master's hookah and add chili powder in it. If I didn't stop you at that time, would you think I was seriously ill? ?”

Xia Bing asked him with a smile.

"I believe Lord River God has deep meaning in every decision he makes."

The author has something to say:

Note 1: From Taishang Induction (Taishang said. The retribution of good and evil. Like a shadow.

Therefore, there is a god of justice in heaven and earth.Depending on the severity of the crime committed by the person.It counts as taking people away. )

It means that good is rewarded with good and evil is rewarded with evil, like a shadow, so there is a god in charge of faults in heaven and earth, which means that life is shortened according to sin, or people become poor and wasted.

Maria's prayer was made up by me. After checking the information for a long time, they all said sincere prayers, and it was enough to express my thoughts without distracting thoughts.
