Chapter 55: Fifteen River Gods Looking at the Moon
Who dares to bet on this?
He was willing to die under the pretext of being forced by the river god, rather than letting others know that he actually died of lust.
With just a few words, Ye Xingzhou made Xiao Xu, a hollow man, so angry that his blood boiled and his face turned red.
Of course, Ye Xingzhou was prepared to use the spirit stone as a photo stone to fool people.
Before this happened, the people of Xiaohe Village rarely had contact with monks.
Even if you come into contact with cultivators, you don’t know what the spirit stone looks like.
Therefore, Ye Xingzhou took out the spirit stone as evidence to deceive people.
Xiao Xu will only tell the truth if there is evidence.
After a long time, Xiao Xu finally uttered a word.
"Did I tell you that you would destroy the photo stone?"
"Of course, an upright monk never tells lies."
Ye Xingzhou agreed immediately.
Only then did Xiao Xu hold the quilt in her hand and confide the secret story with difficulty.
"Before I dreamed of the River God, I always thought he was a terrifying being."
"Until last month, the person chosen to be the groom was Adong."
"Adong has been my playmate since childhood, so I'm naturally worried about him."
"Adong told me mysteriously that he was actually doing it of his own accord. The river god had six daughters, all of whom were extremely beautiful, and he and the fifth daughter enjoyed themselves every night."
"I didn't believe it at first. The corpses in the ancestral hall were more terrifying than the last. But A-Dong said that it was the river gods who helped them shed their mortal skins and replace them with immortal bones."
"Adong said that the Sixth Miss had taken a fancy to me and asked if I would be her husband. I got curious, so..."
Xiao Xu's voice became softer and softer, and he almost tore the bedding apart.
"So you agreed." Ye Xingzhou continued, "How did Adong know that the River God's daughter was seeking a husband?"
Xiao Xu was a little shy. "Adong and the village girl Zhang were originally engaged, but Zhang suddenly came to Adong and said she wanted to break off the engagement. She also said there was a girl who was better than her and she could introduce her to him..."
"Where's that girl Zhang?"
"Girl Zhang has a good friend, A-Mei..."
Well, needless to say, everyone knows it.
There are some things that children would rather lie to each other than tell adults.
What's more, he is only seventeen or eighteen years old.
So, there is no such thing as a river god choosing someone. It is obvious that these foolish kids are being fooled one by one.
A relay race to death!
"Silly boy, wake up! That's not some detached skin at all. It's clearly been eaten away."
Ye Xingzhou's words immediately made Xiao Xu nervous.
"Don't accuse Sixth Miss of this with empty words. Sixth Miss treats me very well. I volunteered to be your husband!"
"Don't worry, I'm not stopping you."
Ye Xingzhou raised his eyes and asked a key question, "Does the River God have six more sons?"
"Yes, what's the matter?" Xiao Xu was surprised. "How did you know?"
"Not only do I know I have six sons, I also know that the sixth son is single, and I'm asking you to help me find a husband."
Xiao Xu was surprised, "You actually got it right."
Twelve months, twelve sacrifices, and the river god's children are six boys and six girls.
Ten bodies were sacrificed, five male and five female.
In the last two months, Xiao Xu was sacrificed, and what was left was a baby girl.
Ye Xingzhou rolled his eyes at Xiao Xu.
"How did you communicate with the river god through dreams?"
When asked this, Xiao Xu instantly became alert.
"I can't tell you that. I've already promised my father-in-law."
Fool, you are about to die, but you still call that loach spirit your father-in-law.
"Okay, how about I play a riddle with you? If you guess it right, I'll destroy the photo stone."
Xiao Xu frowned, "No need to guess, you just promised me that you would destroy the photo stone after I asked you."
Ye Xingzhou grinned, and Xiao Xu instantly had a bad feeling.
"I said an upright monk never tells a lie, and I'm not upright."
“…You liar!”
Xiao Xuhong is warm.
Ye Xingzhou shook the spirit stone and said, "How about it? Do you want to guess?"
"Guess!"
"Okay, guess why I know that the River God has six sons seeking a wife."
"What kind of riddle is this? How should I know?"
Xiao Xu was so angry that he wanted to reach out and grab it, but the movement was so big that he could hardly support his empty body.
"Congratulations, you guessed wrong."
Ye Xingzhou touched his chin and said, "I know this because I'm smart! Come on, tell me."
"Who would come up with such an answer?"
Xiao Xu gritted his teeth and took a long time to remove the red thread from his wrist.
"On the fifteenth day of the month, wear this red thread and silently recite 'The fifteenth river god looks at the moon.'"
Fifteen river gods look at the moon?
The nursery rhyme clearly said that on the fifteenth day of the lunar month, there was a monster at the bottom of the river looking at the moon.
"What if it's not recited in the fifteenth minute?"
"The river god won't appear."
"Thank you." Ye Xingzhou grabbed the red rope.
Xiao Xu was anxious, "Hey! What are you going to do?"
"Didn't the Sixth Son of the River God ask you to find a husband? I want to be your husband, but I can't!"
Xiao Xu was stunned. "But aren't you a man?"
"Men can't do that?"
"I came here because of destiny. God said that I was born to enjoy happiness, so he guided me to marry the Sixth Young Master."
Ye Xingzhou ignored Xiao Xu's confusion and used a trick to put away the spirit stone.
If Xiao Xu knew that the spirit stone was fake, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood.
Look how kind he is. He even told a white lie to take care of the sick and weak.
Ye Xingzhou sat down on the chair and asked, "How much do you know about the village chief's daughter Xiaorong?"
Xiao Xu is now bewitched by the river god and doesn't even care about his own mother. If he forcibly interferes, it will only be a thankless task.
Instead of interfering, it is better to replace the person on the day.
When he was speaking just now, Ye Xingzhou injected a trace of spiritual energy into his body.
There are only three days left until the end of the month. This strand of spiritual energy can protect Xiao Xu's heart.
The red line has the scent of Xiao Xu, and Ye Xingzhou is waiting to come and replace it with another one that day.
Caught that old loach and roasted it alive!
Xiao Xu shook his head, "We rarely come into contact. The village chief doesn't allow Xiao Rong to play with us."
"Xiaorong went to the town to learn needlework and etiquette since she was young. The village chief used to say that Xiaorong was beautiful and would marry into the town and become Mr. Liu's concubine."
concubine?
Would a father who went crazy because of his daughter be willing to send his daughter to be a concubine?
Ye Xingzhou's eyes flickered slightly and he patted Xiao Xu's shoulder.
"Please bear with me. From now on, we will be relatives with no blood relationship."
Xiao Xu shuddered and got goose bumps all over his body.
Who wants to be related to you!
Who are you trying to annoy?
Ye Xingzhou continued, "Also, please don't tell my father-in-law about this. On the fifteenth of next month, I want to give the Sixth Young Master a surprise."
Before I even met the person, my father-in-law called me.
Xiao Xu now has no doubt at all that Ye Xingzhou has the possibility of killing the River God.
Which monk would do such a shameless thing to capture the river god!
"...I won't tell you, just leave now."
Xiao Xu covered his body with a quilt. He felt uncomfortable being in the same space with Ye Xingzhou. Even a glance from Ye Xingzhou was an offense.
Even the air Ye Xingzhou breathed was dirty!
Ye Xingzhou shrugged and slowly walked out of the courtyard.
Sister Li just came back with something in her arms.
"Xiao Ye, is this really okay?"
"Don't worry, Aunt Li. Just wait until that day and do as I say."
Only then did Sister Li hurried into the east room to tinker with it.
Ye Xingzhou turned around and his eyes were blindfolded.
At the same time, a familiar voice came from behind a wall.
"Ye Xingzhou, are you still breathing?"
