"one two three!"
"Hey yo!"
"one two three!"
"Hey yo!"
On the bank of Renjia River, forty or fifty men stood in a row, carrying iron chains on their shoulders and working hard.
In the middle of the river, there was a big boat parked there, full of people standing on it, all with anxious looks on their faces, some even crying.
The big ship did not move at all. The river water was rushing down. There were forty or fifty men on the shore pulling at the iron chains, but the big ship did not move at all.
Whether it was the people on the shore or the people on the boat, their expressions were solemn, because they all knew what was going on.
When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong!
Maybe there is a big creature in this river!
The kind that can only be heard from opera performers in theaters and storytellers in teahouses.
The rain was falling harder and harder, and the water in the river was flowing faster, darker, and deeper, making it impossible to see what was in it.
The mayor was furious. He threw off his hat and, ignoring the objections of people around him, continued to beat the drum loudly.
After a few knocks, he felt his arms a little sore. After all, he was old and not as strong as when he was young.
When the mayor thought of the lives of dozens of people in Renjia River, he suddenly gained strength and beat the drum more densely and quickly.
This is no longer a matter of dozens of people on the big ship, but the lives and safety of tens of thousands of people in the entire Renjia Town!
God knows what's in that river!
Once this ghost thing lives in Renjiahe, the entire Renjia Town will be in turmoil and unable to sleep or eat.
Even if we don't go fishing, washing clothes, or fetching water from the river, who can guarantee that the evil creatures in the river won't come ashore
Renjia Town is the foundation of our ancestors, and the lives and safety of tens of thousands of people are at stake!
He knocked hard twice, panting. The heavy rain soaked his hair and made him stagger, almost unable to stand steadily.
The person nearby was quick to support the old man in front of him.
He took a deep breath and shouted loudly, "Men of Renjia Town! You are all strong men. Don't be afraid. Those things in the water are nothing!"
“Even if that fucking water monkey has the strength of ten bulls, and a few dozen of us can’t pull it, we can just use a hundred or two hundred of them!”
He roared hysterically, "I swear to get rid of the water monster!"
"Swear to get rid of the water monster!"
More and more strong men came from all directions, and one rough hand after another grabbed the chain.
These bankers have nothing else but strength!
"one two three!"
"Youyo!"
With everyone pulling together, the large ship parked in the river finally began to move.
Everyone on the boat and on the shore couldn't help but cheer loudly.
The mayor stood on the platform, looking at the slowly moving ship with a serious expression. He seemed to have underestimated the monster in the water!
This was not the so-called water monkey he had seen before. He had seen water monkeys several times, but none of them had such great strength!
His heart sank, he tilted his head to one side, and asked in a low voice, "Uncle Jiu, are you here?"
"It's raining heavily and the roads are slippery and hard to walk on. The charity cemetery is far from here, so it will probably take some time!"
"Send someone else to invite them!" The mayor looked anxious, but he was not as calm as usual. "If it's too late, someone might die."
The big ship was moved, and the people on the shore were struggling with the monster in the water, and the monster suddenly jumped up.
The consequence!!!
The mayor suddenly felt dizzy. All the people on the shore were from Renjia Town. Three or four out of ten of them were of Ren family bloodline.
No matter what happens, he will not be able to face his ancestors in the underworld!
The big ship was getting closer and closer, and was about to reach the shore, when suddenly splashes appeared in the water and the surface of the water became even more turbid.
The mayor immediately knew that something was wrong and shouted in surprise, "Be careful! The big guy in the water is coming out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a long, blood-red, ribbon-like object shooting out from the water, directly sweeping up four or five men on the shore and forcing them to retreat back into the water.
The men showed fear on their faces, their whole bodies tightened and their feet left the ground. They had no way to free themselves from the restraints and had no where to gain leverage.
They were swung into the air, and as they got closer and closer to the river, despair appeared on their faces.
Once they get into the water, no matter what big thing in the water is, they will not survive!
This is a huge thing that requires hundreds of men to pull!
A roar came from a distance.
“Bold!”
A golden flash came from a distance, and everyone felt a flash before their eyes. A roar was heard, and the men fell heavily to the ground.
There was a huge splash on the river surface and nothing could be seen.
The mayor showed a look of joy, for he could see clearly that the golden light was a talisman which directly hit the blood-red belt, causing the monster in the water to run away.
There is only one person in the town who uses the spell!
"Uncle Nine!"
Countless people shouted respectfully. The heavy rain hit them, but they didn't care at all. They just stared at Uncle Jiu who came in a hurry.
Seeing this scene, even though Uncle Jiu had seen big scenes before, he couldn't help but feel deeply moved for a moment. This is what it feels like to be a Taoist priest and protect a place!
He walked quickly to the shore and looked at the men who were thrown to the ground. Seeing them holding their chests in pain, he couldn't help but look guilty.
"Lin Jiu is a step late."
"Thank you, Uncle Jiu, for saving my life!"
The people lying on the ground raised their hands with difficulty and saluted. If it weren't for Uncle Jiu's rescue, they would have died long ago.
Be grateful and repay kindness. The favor of saving a life is greater than heaven. This is the simplest truth, and even these bankers understand it!
You must not be that kind of ruthless person who resents Uncle Jiu for coming late.
After all, this incident happened quickly. The charity cemetery was originally located in a remote area of Renjia Town, and it had to pass through Renjia Town to get here. This incident happened really quickly!
A small group of people came from a distance, led by the mayor. When he saw Uncle Jiu coming, he hurriedly ran down from the platform.
The mayor fell to his knees in front of Uncle Jiu with a thud. Uncle Jiu was shocked and quickly moved away, holding up the old man with his left hand.
"Mr. Ren, why is it so? I am grateful to you for taking care of me for the past ten years. It is my duty to slay demons and monsters. Please don't do me such a great favor!"
Mr. Ren didn't know what to say for a moment. Although Uncle Jiu was a Taoist priest, it was obvious at first glance that the creature in the water was not something to be trifled with.
Asking Uncle Jiu to exorcise demons and monsters is simply pushing him to a dead end.
Of course I won’t go. The entire Renjia Town is full of outsiders and no one understands it.
While others are sleeping soundly beside the couch, this water monster in Renjia River is like a tiger lying beside the bed, looking at them with a smile, ready to eat them when they are fat.
"Don't worry, Mr. Ren!" Uncle Jiu seemed to see his worry, "It's just a toad. Lin Jiu will take its head right away. I'll be back in no time!"
Uncle Jiu walked to the riverside and pointed his arm to the center of the river. Before he said anything, people came rushing over in their boats.
Uncle Jiu held the peach wood sword in his hand, his expression somewhat moved, "Exorcise the demon!"
Everyone on the shore shouted loudly.
"Get rid of the demon!"
