Chapter 590 Liangshui River God
"Master Kurumu, the worshiper you mentioned died decades ago for unknown reasons. It was rumored that he was about to die, but he was unable to make it and passed away long ago!"
Gu Lianggong explained: "The current Zhu family worshiper came later!"
"impossible!"
Taoist Xuanqing opened his mouth to refute: "With the capital of the Zhu family, there is no way to recruit a Jindan stage to serve as his family's offering!"
"Master Kurumu, you are right. According to common sense, the Zhu family does not have the capital to recruit a Jindan-stage cultivator!"
Gu Lianggong nodded with a complicated expression. It was unknown what he was thinking about. He sighed and said:
"But it's because they have a good daughter. The eldest son of the Zhu family has a good aunt, so the Zhu family can recruit Jindan-stage cultivators!"
He is an ordinary person, not a cultivator, but he has grown old and has seen many ups and downs and heard a lot of gossip. The affairs of the Zhu family are like a leaky window, spreading throughout the county from time to time. Not to mention him, I am afraid that most people, as long as they are willing to inquire, will know the situation of the Zhu family.
"The Zhu family has a good daughter?"
Taoist Xuanqing thought about it, and thousands of distracting thoughts emerged in his mind. He said thoughtfully:
"You mean, the Zhu family has a girl who showed extraordinary talent for cultivation and was noticed by a certain master who accepted her as his disciple, or maybe she was noticed by a certain sect and with the help of this girl, the Zhu family was able to recruit a Jindan-stage cultivator?"
"You can say that, or you can say it isn't!"
Gu Lianggong said with a strange expression.
"what is going on……"
Before Taoist Xuanqing finished speaking, Le Zhuang beside him could not help but explain: "Uncle, you don't know that Zhu Xing has an aunt who is as beautiful as a flower. When she was in her teens or twenties, she was killed by a monster..."
"Xiao Zhuang, don't talk nonsense, that's not a monster!"
Gu Lianggong's face changed drastically, and he quickly said, "He is a god, the god of our Liangshui River!"
Their Liangshui Town is located next to the Liangshui River. However, the Liangshui River is very large and connects all the towns in the county. Their Liangshui Town, relatively speaking, occupies a unique geographical location.
There is a river god temple in the town. Although the weather has not been good in recent years, the Liangshui River god has a very big appetite after all.
No matter how wealthy their Liangshui Town is, it is difficult to satisfy the Liangshui River God. However, because of the Liangshui River, their Liangshui Town has also survived many natural disasters and man-made calamities.
"Gu Lianggong, what you mean is that the Zhu family married their daughter to the Liangshui River God, and the Zhu family relied on the power of the Liangshui River God to recruit Jindan-stage cultivators to serve as worshippers?"
Taoist Xuanqing had a gloomy face and spoke in a bad tone.
He grew up in Liangshui Town, so how could he not know about the Liangshui River beside Liangshui Town? Not only does it flow through a large area, but it also has a lot of products that cultivators want. It is said that the god of the Liangshui River is very smart and built an underwater market under the Liangshui River to trade with cultivators from all directions!
However, the Liangshui River God himself is a giant snake of unknown origin who has cultivated successfully and occupied the Liangshui River. Later, he took over the Liangshui River and killed the previous Liangshui River God, refined the River God Order, and became the current Liangshui River. He is smart, but has many shortcomings, one of which is lust.
When he was still living in Liangshui Town, he often heard that some people married their daughters to the Liangshui River God as concubines.
This matter.
He once asked his master why his master didn't care. His master told him in detail at that time that it was not that he didn't care, but that he couldn't do it. First, his ability was not as good as that of the Liangshui River God, and second, the Liangshui River God took a concubine, not out of bribery or coercion.
It's because some people are not fit to be parents. As long as they can get money, they will have no problem selling their daughter, or even their own wife.
"Exactly!"
Gu Lianggong nodded. He knew the details of the Zhu family's current offerings. The news was spread by the Zhu family themselves. It was not to intimidate those who hated the Zhu family, fearing that they would do something wrong, that they deliberately spread the news to intimidate them. He sighed slightly and said:
"It is said that the Zhu family's worshiper is willing to come to the Zhu family to serve as a worshiper because he can use the Zhu family's connections to get good things from the Liangshui River God!"
Taoist Xuanqing said thoughtfully: "It seems that the girl from the Zhu family is not ordinary beautiful!"
Gu Lianggong looked at Taoist Xuanqing strangely. He never thought that Taoist Xuanqing would say such irrelevant words. Moreover, Taoist Xuanqing was already old. What did the beauty of Zhu's daughter have to do with him? He couldn't help but ask:
"Master Ku Mu, you are right. The daughter of the Zhu family is very beautiful, but is there any problem with this?"
"When I lived in Liangshui Town, I also heard my master mention that our Liangshui River God is lustful, but also very ruthless. The human girl who married him would only fascinate him for ten days or half a month at most..."
Taoist Xuanqing snorted, his face full of murderous intent that was difficult to conceal. He did not say the rest of the words, but anyone with a normal mind would be able to guess what the consequences would be when a monster got tired of playing with him. He changed his words and said:
"If the daughter of the Zhu family was not beautiful, she would have suffered the same fate as other human women. However, the Zhu family was able to establish a relationship with the Liangshui River God, and even attracted a Jindan-stage cultivator to serve as a worshiper. This shows that the daughter of the Zhu family is not only beautiful, but also fascinates our Liangshui River God!"
"That is……"
Gu Lianggong opened his mouth subconsciously, wanting to tell Taoist Xuanqing about the affair between the god of Liangshui River and the daughter of Zhu's family. However, when the words were on the tip of his tongue, he suddenly realized that he was already old, and if he mentioned such gossip in front of Taoist Xuanqing, it would be easy for people to scold him for being "disrespectful to the elderly", so he quickly changed the subject:
"Master Ku Mu, I have told you everything I need to say. I advise you to wait until Le Wenmao's funeral is over and take Xiaozhuang away from Liangshui Town as soon as possible!"
"I see!"
Taoist Xuanqing nodded.
"No way, my master is not really going to take me, his junior brother, away from Liangshui Town, right? Then wouldn't our family have come here to avoid disaster for nothing?"
Wang Pingan looked at the backs of Gu Lianggong and Zhuo Tie leaving, subconsciously retracted his gaze, and looked at Taoist Xuanqing. Before he finished speaking, he noticed that Taoist Xuanqing's face was filled with murderous intent that was difficult to conceal, and said:
"No, my master is not planning to take my newly recognized junior brother away, but is just fooling this old man. But, who is he targeting with his murderous intentions? Is it Zhu Xing, who killed my junior brother's father and mother, or the Liangshui River God who I just found out about?"
