Where the wind chimes sound, there is a god

Chapter 61 Qingshui Layman
Although it hadn't touched him yet, Sun Xingyi could feel what it would feel like if the snake scales touched his face. In this moment of extreme fear, he shouted, "God, spare me! God, spare me!"

"Uncle, uncle, what happened to you?" Sun Xingyi's eyes went dark and he fell to the ground. When he came to his senses, there was no python. Only his nephew beside him was supporting him in a panic.

"This..." He was about to speak when he heard a gust of night wind blowing, and the golden bells in the yard rang. Under the moon, the tall statue of the god looked high above with an expression of pity for all living beings on his face.

"Nephew, do you remember the old saying?"

"What old saying?"

"There is a god three feet above your head!"

Sun Xingyi was still shaking, but he still walked to the statue and bowed respectfully. "The believer has insulted the gods, and I hope the gods will forgive me. From now on, the incense and offerings will only be used for sacrifices in the temple and for charity to the people."

After saying this, he bowed three times and did not dare to stand up.

Sun Ruiqi, who was standing by, was puzzled and even sneered. He whispered, "Uncle, it's fine if you're just putting on a show for outsiders, but why do you really believe it?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, a bright black snake more than three feet long really crawled out of the statue, and a bell came out of its mouth and hit in front of Sun Xingyi.

He was extremely surprised and said: "The believers thank the gods! We will forever serve the gods in this life!"

After that, Sun Xingyi picked up the bell and put it away reverently, then turned to Sun Ruiqi and said, "How dare you speak nonsense like this in front of the God?

You should repent tonight under the throne of God."

"Uncle, uncle, I know I was wrong!" Sun Ruiqi hurriedly admitted his mistake.

"Hmph, it's too late. Go on your knees. Otherwise, you'll pack up your things and get out of the Water God Temple tomorrow morning!" Sun Xingyi cursed with a cold face.

On a moonlit night, Sun Ruiqi knelt nervously before the statue and before he knew it, he fell asleep in the second half of the night.

A gust of night wind blew by, and a man in green clothes appeared on the statue.

He stood on the head of the statue, with a sword on his back and a bell hanging from his waist. His eyebrows and eyes were fresh and bright, and his slender green shirt looked even more jade-like in the moonlight.

Chen Beimo took off the magic bell from his waist, waved it towards the statue, and wisps of incense scent were absorbed into the magic bell.

During the day, all incense and offerings would be gathered on his own statue, and only in the evening would he come to collect them personally.

The incense offered to the gods appointed by the imperial court is not the same as those offered in private. It can be summoned with just a thought.

These incense sticks need to be collected by the gods themselves. If the distance is too far, they will be affected by many force majeure and unable to be collected themselves. It can also restrict the range of incense sticks of gods from all over the world so that they do not run all over the world.

Chen Beimo looked at his home that had become someone else's residence and couldn't help but sigh. From then on, he cut off all ties with the world.

Beichen Jun wrapped his arms around his waist and lay on his shoulder, habitually wanting to sniff his master with his tongue, but found that it was difficult to extend his tongue.

Seeing its stupid look, Chen Beimo couldn't help but laugh, "Okay, let's go."

With light steps, Chen Beimo flew through the night sky like a fairy and flew out of the city.

By this time, most of the night had passed, and the early spring morning mist had spread over the river. From time to time, fish and snakes could be seen flowing on the wide river, creating small ripples that swayed in the moonlight.

Chen Beimo landed on the river, floating in the middle of the river, reached out and picked up Beichen Jun, held him in front of his eyes and said with a smile: "Well, it's time to let you practice in this big river at will.

When one day you become a dragon, I will take you to the big river."

"roar~"

The black snake growled softly and dived into the river.

The river was full of waves and then gradually calmed down.

After only a few breaths, a huge black shadow emerged from the bottom of the river. A giant python broke out of the water and circled under the moon with its head held high, protecting Chen Beimo.

Patting its head, Chen Beimo smiled and said, "Okay, go ahead.

I'll be watching you by the river, don't worry I'll leave."

After hearing this, Beichen Jun turned his snake head and sank into the water.

Chen Beimo went up to the shore. From now on, he would live on the river bank and often walk by the river, but his shoes would not get wet.

……

The morning light slowly brightened the vast white fog on the riverside. A fishing boat passed slowly on the river. Lao Hua stood on the bow of the boat, stretched his waist and called out, "Old Second, is the net ready? We are almost at the fish nest."

"Got it, Dad." A dark-skinned young man with broad shoulders and a strong waist came out from the boat shed, holding a fishing net in his hand.

Lao Hua helped his son straighten the drooping line of the fishing net, turned around and looked at the river. The light gray and dark river water was flowing and carrying the fishing boat down. He rubbed his eyes and found a faint black shadow in the mist in front.

Looking more closely, it turned out to be a house facing the river.

"Hey, how come there is an extra house?" He asked in surprise, "We have only rested for four or five days, how come a house suddenly appeared by the river?"

The second brother looked up and said in surprise, "It really is. I remember that there was no such house before. The house was built too quickly."

After hearing what his son said, Lao Hua looked uncertain and said, "Go row the boat. Let's go to the middle of the river and don't go to the shore."

"Ah? There are a lot of turbulent currents in the river. Dad, why did you..."

"Just go when I tell you to!" After a glare from his presbyopic eyes, his son immediately shut up and obediently rowed towards the center of the river.

Lao Hua stood at the bow of the boat, staring at the house. As he got closer, he discovered that there were two or three small houses built along the river, and there was even a wooden embankment.

When the sun came up, shining bright yellow through the mist, Lao Hua suddenly saw a man sitting on the embankment, who seemed to be fishing.

The Ying River is a big river with a dense network of waterways. The river is more than ten feet wide. Lao Er rowed the boat to the center of the river, which was about seven or eight feet away from the shore. Just then a gust of river breeze blew away the fog, and Lao Hua could see clearly that there was a man in a blue shirt sitting on the shore, holding a book in one hand and a long pole in the other, and he was obviously fishing.

After seeing the person clearly, Lao Hua finally breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to speak, the boat suddenly shook and almost threw him upside down into the river.

"Dad, be careful, there's an undercurrent!"

The second brother said urgently.

"Hurry to the shore and don't worry about anything else." Lao Hua urged urgently, and picked up the oars and started rowing.

But the undercurrent was turning back and forth, causing the fishing boat to rise and fall unsteadily.

On the shore, Chen Beimo was reading an ancient book intently. Hearing the sound of waves, he couldn't help but look over and found the father and son on the boat.

I couldn't help but laugh, put down the book, picked up the bamboo pole in my hand and lifted it out of the water, and a fish with its tail wagging was caught.

Chen Beimo laughed and said, "You greedy fish!"

He took the fish off the bamboo pole and put it into the wooden basin at his feet. Then he swung the pole again, creating ripples on the surface of the river, and the water became calm and still.

He frowned and said, "Be honest. You have taken all the fish away. How can I fish?"

The next moment, the wind was calm and the morning mist dissipated.

Lao Hua on the boat looked at the waves in the river with some uneasiness. Having spent most of his life on the river, he knew clearly that this was not an undercurrent, but most likely there was something unknown at the bottom of the river.

But Lao Hua didn't dare to say anything, as there were strange things happening in the river and talking would only cause trouble.

He felt that there would be unrest on the river.

When the fishing boat sailed away, a giant python head suddenly appeared on the calm river surface near the shore, raised its head and growled a few times at the fisherman.

Chen Beimo waved the bamboo pole, "Go away, go and play somewhere else. How can I catch any fish with you here?" Beichen Jun twisted the snake's head nonchalantly. The front jaw of its head had become flat, and the snake's tongue could not be extended much, so it could only move inside its mouth.

"You are a water creature now, you have to abide by the rules of the river." Seeing his nonchalant look, Chen Beimo sighed helplessly and said, "It is difficult to transform into a dragon, and it is against the will of heaven to change your fate. You must not stir up trouble in the water. I have opened a snake official statue for you in the temple. As long as you do some good deeds and save people, it is best to save more noble people, which will be of great benefit to you.

Also, don't go out too much during the day, or you'll be in trouble if you're seen. Don't mess with the water general at the bottom of the river, he's a third-grade psychic demon general! I'm two levels lower than him, so don't cause trouble."

Upon hearing this, Beichen Jun looked towards the river with a fierce look in his eyes, but he still sank his body and buried himself in the water, making a few splashes before becoming silent.

Chen Beimo laughed and turned his head to look at the fish in the basin. The fish had a green tail and white scales, and they were shining brightly. If an ordinary person saw it, they would just exclaim that it was such a smart fish.

"Pa bang bang~"

The fish's tail swung violently, splashing the water in the wooden basin onto the bamboo board.

"Great Immortal, please spare my life! Great Immortal, please spare my life! This little demon has never harmed anyone, but I beg you to spare my life!"

The fish's gills are opening and closing to breathe, and the fish is speaking, but not in human language.

Chen Beimo frowned and said, "But I have only caught this fish in the past three days!
Well, if you are willing to obey my orders, I can spare you this time. But you must obey the orders of the black python in the water palace.

Is it possible? "

"I can do it! I can do it! Great Immortal, please be merciful! From now on, I will follow the Black Python King wholeheartedly!"

The fish with a green tail and white scales responded by wagging its tail desperately.

Just then, a cat's cry was heard.

"Meow~"

When the fish monster heard the cat's cry, it was so scared that it didn't even dare to swing its tail and shrank into the wooden basin without moving.

A yellow civet cat about a foot long walked in a straight line on all fours, with its tail raised high behind it and the tip of the tail slightly curled. Its light yellow face and round eyes walked towards the river with caution.

"Meow~"

"Hmm?" Chen Beimo asked curiously, "Where did the mountain cat come from? Go away, don't bother with my fish!"

"Meow~"

The yellow cat stood still, more than three feet away from Chen Beimo. It stretched out its paw and licked it near its mouth, looking quite cute.

"You are a fish demon, you can't be eaten by a wild cat, right?"

Chen Beimo looked at the fish in the basin with interest.

"Help me, Immortal! This vicious raccoon wants to eat me! I'm scared!"

Hearing this, Chen Beimo couldn't help but laugh twice, and decided not to torture the fish anymore. So he pushed the wooden basin to the riverside and said, "Go by yourself, remember your promise. I have planted a seed of trust in you."

"Yes! Yes! I, the little demon, thank you, Immortal!"

The fish jumped up quickly, swinging its tail and jumping into the air.

But the civet cat, which had been waiting for a long time, pounced on it like lightning and tried to catch the fish.

However, Chen Beimo just stretched out his hand and placed the bamboo pole in front of the raccoon, forcing it to jump back.

Because of this delay, the fish monster fell into the water, made a few bubbles and then left.

So the man and the cat were left alone on the shore, staring at each other.

"Meow~"

"Meow~"

"My fish!"

Chen Beimo smiled and said, "This is my fish, not yours."

Among the priest's hundred magics, there was the magic of hearing the language of animals. He had learned it a long time ago. In addition, he could also hear the language of snakes, so it was naturally easier for him to hear the language of animals.

"Meow!"

The raccoon turned around angrily and left. After three or five jumps, he disappeared into the bushes.

Chen Beimo continued to swing the bamboo pole, and the long fishing line hung down into the river. One end of the line was connected to the bamboo pole, and the other end was empty.

It's not empty, at least there's some water spirit in it, which is much more useful than a fish hook.

The sun gradually rose. The spring sunshine was warm, making people feel lazy. It was soft and warm, and while fishing, it brought out his sleepiness.

So Chen Bei leaned his head back, leaned on a small wooden chair and fell asleep.

The wild grass on the shore was green and the wild flowers were blooming, attracting bees and butterflies to frolic. A pale white butterfly flew over like a fallen leaf and landed on the young man's shoulder.

"gentlemen!"

"gentlemen!"

"gentlemen!"

"Oh, who?"

Chen Beimo was awakened from his sleep by several calls, and he answered them before he turned around.

"I am a scholar who came to the provincial school to take the exam. I don't know the way very well, so I disturbed you rashly. I hope you can forgive me!" A young man's voice sounded with a hint of apology.

Chen Beimo stood up, stretched towards the river bank, turned around and saw that it was indeed a scholar carrying a bamboo basket, but he had a tall and straight figure and did not look thin at all.

"Oh, you are going to Yunzhou City." Chen Beimo smiled and pointed, "Walk three or five miles northwest and you will probably see the city wall. There are many people on the roadside, so if you can't find it, just ask a few more people."

"Thank you, sir, for showing me the way! I thank you very much." After expressing his gratitude, the young scholar performed all the formalities before preparing to leave.

Seeing his kindness, Chen Beimo couldn't help but raise his mouth. "Little brother, you should pay more attention to your diet and spend less time with others these days. It will always be beneficial."

"Hahaha, sir, you are also an expert in fortune telling?" the scholar asked with a smile upon hearing this.

"I call myself Qingshui Jushi. I live by the Ying River and feel quite at ease."

Chen Beimo replied to him.

The scholar thanked him again and continued on his way.

Chen Beimo turned around, raised the bamboo pole, and as soon as he took it, he shouted, "Who ate it?"

He couldn't help but wonder which water monster had eaten the water energy on his bamboo pole while he was distracted, and then ran away.

"Bullying a novice fisherman like me."

Chen Beimo smiled and did not get angry. He just retracted the bamboo pole and then used Kanshui Qi to connect the fishing line. If any other monster came to eat, it would definitely be entangled by his Kanshui Qi. Unless it vomited out its intestines, or had the Li Fire that could break the Kanshui Qi, it would not be able to escape.

He changed his appearance and became an ordinary layman, living by the river for a long time. First, it was convenient for cultivation. Second, he could observe the magical nature of water in the world. Third, he could keep an eye on Beichen Jun in the river and prevent him from causing any trouble. Fourth, it was also for refining his mind, for the sake of combining with Kanshuizhu's future situation, and for watching the world and thinking about the future, so as not to fall into the big plot of Qianyuan again.
