Chapter 97 Legend of Jiang Shen

Although the God Meteorite Thunder is strong and the Heavenly Tribulation Sword is sharp, they are only powerful for one strike.

After one strike, they become ordinary divine weapons.

Moreover, the God Meteorite Thunder has a long period of incubation.

Compared with this, Lu Heng feels more secure with the Netherworld Soul Seal, a magic weapon that can be used routinely.

Walking along the Pangshui River with Xiao Ai, watching the surging water and the ships coming and going on the river bank, Lu Heng and his friends did not wait long, and soon Huo Feng's voice came from behind.

"Lord Wolf God, the boat is coming."

Lu Heng and Xiao Ai stopped and looked back, only to see a small boat that was not too big approaching the shore.

Huo Feng was standing at the bow, waving at the man and the wolf on the shore.

Soon, the boat approached the river.

Although there was no pier here, the boat could not really dock. But Lu Heng and Xiao Ai did not need the boat to dock. They walked directly on the water and stepped on the surging river water to step on the boat.

However, after Lu Heng and Xiao Ai boarded the boat, they found that the pony was missing from the cabin.

The pony that always accompanied Huo Feng was nowhere to be found. The bags that were originally on the pony's back were piled in the cabin.

Lu Heng asked curiously, "Brother Huo, where is your horse?"

Huo Feng sighed and said, "That guy hates taking a boat, so he left by himself. We take a boat down the river, and it goes south along the wilderness, and will go to Fushan City to find me when the time comes."

Lu Heng laughed, "Your pony is also good at self-management, which is really convenient."

Huo Feng smiled bitterly, thinking that the wolf god was teasing him.

Lu Heng stood at the bow and took a quick look at the small boat in front of him.

The hull was not big, about three feet long, and the two sides of the middle hull were built with wooden boards to look like a house, which could be used to shelter from wind and rain. Moreover, there were tables, chairs, windows, and curtains in the cabin built like a small house, which looked like that.

Lu Heng nodded, very satisfied.

"Yes, this boat is light and convenient, really good, but this boatman..."

Lu Heng looked at the stern helplessly, and said to the "boatman" wearing a straw hat and rowing the boat, "Girl, what are you doing?"

Lu Heng's words shocked Huo Feng.

Xiao Ai stood in front of Lu Heng without saying a word, staring coldly at the stern.

Amid the gaze of the crowd, the boatman who was originally standing at the stern rowing the boat shrugged his shoulders, and stopped pretending after his whereabouts were exposed.

She took off her straw hat, revealing her fiery red long hair, and smiled at Lu Heng and others.

"I didn't expect that we would meet you again here after just a few days apart... Hahaha... The word fate is really amazing."

The red-haired woman smiled brightly, wearing a straw raincoat and straw hat. If it weren't for her good temperament, she really looked like a fisherman making a living on the river.

Lu Heng was somewhat amused, but also somewhat helpless.

"The girl has profound cultivation and noble status, why bother to be a ferryman here to play tricks on us? If there is something important, just speak directly, why do you have to do this!"

Lu Heng was really completely defeated by this woman.

This woman's childishness far exceeded his expectations.

When he was in Hanyu Mountain, the masters he met were traditional masters such as Gongshu Jie, Li Po, and Li Ju, who were serious, mature, and upright.

Where have you seen the current scene?

Is this woman a three-year-old child? Must she compete with me?

Not only did she chase me all the way from Baishi City, but now she even pretended to be a ferryman. She is simply haunting me.

Lu Heng had a headache, but the red-haired woman was talking and laughing.

She smiled and said, "Sir, you are wrong. I make a living on the water, and ferrying is my way of making a living. My reunion with you is just a coincidence."

"And it was clearly Brother Huo who took the initiative to hire me, why do you now make it sound like I am pestering you?"

"I am not married yet, and my reputation cannot be tarnished. Sir, please stop making such teasing remarks. If I cannot get married in the future because of this, you cannot take the responsibility."

The red-haired woman laughed lightly, but Lu Heng smiled bitterly.

"Yes, yes, it's my fault. Since I have hired the girl, I will trouble her to continue to steer the boat," Lu Heng said helplessly.

After that, he ignored the childish red-haired woman and sat down directly at the bow.

Seeing Lu Heng's attitude, Huo Feng and Xiao Ai temporarily let down their guard and stopped talking. But both of them stayed by Lu Heng's side, not daring to stay too far away.

In this way, the boat went down the river, the two men and the wolf sat at the bow, while the red-haired woman stood at the stern, rowing and steering, singing from time to time. The songs she sang were water ballads, and she really sounded like an ordinary fishing girl.

Huo Feng whispered, "Lord Wolf God, why don't we just leave?"

Lu Heng opened his eyes and looked at him, sighing, "It's a blessing, not a disaster, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided. Relax, it's okay."

If something really happened, at most he would invite the red-haired woman to visit the netherworld, which would have no effect on Lu Heng.

Now that he has the Heavenly Tribulation Sword and the Soul-Suppressing Seal, Lu Heng has enough confidence to deal with the red-haired woman.

And since the other party is so entangled, he also wants to see how childish this woman can be.

Thinking of this, Lu Heng gradually relaxed.

Looking at the surging Pangjiang River in front of him and the boats coming and going on the river bank from time to time, Lu Heng smiled and said, "The traffic on the Pangjiang River can be considered prosperous."

"It's just that I see that most of the people on the boat are ordinary people. Could it be that there aren't that many monsters in the southern wilderness? Otherwise, how could they dare to travel like this?"

Lu Heng was full of surprise, while Huo Feng explained.

"What the Wolf God doesn't know is that there is a river god in the Pang River, named the Ancient Zhou Empress. It is said that the Ancient Zhou Empress was noble and compassionate. After attaining Taoism three hundred years ago, she made a love with the late Emperor Huotong. Make a promise to take care of the living creatures on both sides of the Pang River."

"She restrained the water tribes in the river, drove away the evil spirits on both sides of the river, and built the Pangjiang River into a water hub connecting many large cities in the southern border of Huotong Country."

"Above the Pang River, there is no need to fear evil spirits and cannibals. Although there are strange beasts entrenched in the wilderness on the shore, as long as there are few ships docking, they will hardly be attacked."

"So even ordinary people dare to walk on the Pangjiang River."

Huo Feng explained with a smile, "It is precisely to appreciate the protection of the River Goddess that most of the river temples are erected on both sides of the Pangjiang River, and the incense is very prosperous."

Huo Feng's explanation surprised Lu Heng.

"There is such a great river god in the Pangjiang River? It is indeed worthy of admiration to work so hard to protect the tranquility of this place."

Huo Feng's admiration came from the bottom of his heart.

After all, it is indeed not an easy task to be able to protect such a long river for a long time, restrain the aquatic people in the river, and drive away the evil spirits on both sides of the river. It is worthy of admiration.

But just as Lu Heng finished sighing, the red-haired woman at the stern of the boat sneered disdainfully and said.

"Gu Zhou? Compassionate heart? That's just a false story passed down through false rumors."

"How could the ancient Zhou Dynasty in the Pang River be a water god with a noble nature and a compassionate heart? His nature is vicious, his mind is narrow-minded, his temperament is jealous, and his personality is low. It is rare even among monsters."

"Before it became enlightened, it was an evil beast that loved to eat living people. It lived in the Pangshui River. It attacked ships on the river all year round and occasionally killed living people on the river bank. The living people it ate were... The head is enough to build a Beijing temple."

"Three hundred years ago, when it was just beginning its path, it had evil thoughts in its heart and wanted to bring trouble to Youzhi City, so it led the aquatic tribe in the river to rush ashore."

"If the late Emperor hadn't happened to be meeting friends in Youzhi City at that time, encountered this incident, and repelled this vicious monster in time, Youzhi City would have shed blood like a river."

While the red-haired woman was rocking the oar leisurely, she talked disdainfully about the old secret, "And the most ridiculous thing is that after this Gu Eagle was seriously injured by the late emperor, not only did he not feel resentment, but he actually felt love and entangled himself with the late emperor. endlessly."

"It's such a despicable act, it's really eye-opening."

"In order to entangle the late emperor, it threatened to protect the people's livelihood on both sides of the Pang River, forcing the late emperor to build temples and ancestral halls for it, open incense and help it rectify its name."

"Afterwards, they even went further and wanted to forcefully marry the late emperor. They even went so far as to cause trouble in the capital, causing the late emperor and his wife to lose face."

"The brazenness is unparalleled in the world."

Above the Pang River, the woman at the helm mocked the water god in the river with disdain.

The unscrupulous look made Huo Feng's face turn pale, fearing that the river would explode in the next second and capsize the boat in the river.
