"Master Dao, you actually believe that?"

"True faith."

"Haha, you're really funny."

Qin Luo knew he was fearless. "When you were defeated by the tiger demon back then, were you ever afraid?"

"No, the tiger demon can kill me, can eat me, but it will never subdue my will. The only one in this world who can defeat me is myself." Wu Shashen stood tall and proud.

"That makes sense."

Qin Luo said earnestly.

The little dumpling thought Wu Shashen looked very cool with a blade of grass in his mouth, even though he wasn't very powerful, he spoke in a very arrogant way.

"Chu mi".

The little dumpling flew to the roadside, picked up a blade of grass, and, imitating Wu Shashen, held its head high and puffed out its chest.

Weeds grew rampant in front of the mountain god temple.

Wu Shashen led the way with his long sword, saying, "Most temples are on mountains, but this water god temple is at the foot of the mountain. It seems that this water god cares a lot about the people!"

"yes!"

Qin Luo nodded slightly.

He could sense that the Water God was good.

There were no signs of battle in front of the Water God Temple. Wu Shashen pushed open the temple door and found that the Water God statue inside had been shattered, with only half of its body remaining, and the ground was covered with rubble.

Wu Shashen looked around the Water God Temple, shook his head and sighed, "I thought I could pick up some valuable things to sell."

Qin Luo took out a stick of incense.

"Master Daoist, where did you get this incense?"

"It's something I carry with me."

"Indeed, you are a Taoist priest after all."

Wu Shashen took out a tinderbox, blew on it gently, and a wisp of fire rose. "Daoist, here's a fire for you!"

"Thank you for your trouble, Brother Wu!"

Qin Luo used a tinderbox to light the incense.

He bowed to the broken statue of the water god and then placed incense in front of it.

The smoke from the incense stick did not rise, but lingered in the temple, some of it being absorbed by the broken statues of gods. Golden light intertwined, these were threads that Wu Shashen could not see.

Boom!

A thunderclap resounded.

Wu Shashen frowned. "Is it going to rain?"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a dripping sound rang out, and a torrential downpour began outside the temple.

"What bad luck!"

Wu Shashen sat on the ground waiting for the rain to stop.

Qin Luo stood at the temple entrance, looking at the rain curtain that stretched like silk threads, in which a tall figure appeared. "Thank you, young friend, for allowing me to take another look at this world."

"Senior, are you the water god of the Luo River?"

Qin Luo transmitted his thoughts telepathically.

"Exactly."

The water god was handsome.

No wonder Linglong is so beautiful.

Qin Luo smiled and said, "I've met your daughter, Linglong. She's at Mirror Lake and doing very well."

Upon hearing Linglong's news, the Water God's eyes rippled. He bowed respectfully, "I'll have to trouble you to take care of my daughter! I can bestow upon you an immense fortune!"

"Senior, Linglong is kind-hearted. I will help her if I can. I don't need any favors." Qin Luo had agreed to help Linglong seek justice in the capital, but he didn't ask for her dragon pearl.

The water god's eyes were filled with appreciation and gratitude. "Young friend, I thank you no matter what. You should be able to obtain that great fortune in the old water god temple."

Qin Luo nodded slightly, "Senior, I would like to know why the Imperial Advisor attacked you."

The Water God sighed softly, "Back when the Heavenly Dao collapsed, I was fortunate enough to obtain a fragment of the Heavenly Dao. What the Grand Preceptor actually wanted was this fragment of the Heavenly Dao."

"Did the Imperial Advisor obtain that fragment of the Heavenly Dao?"

"No."

The Water God continued, “I did not refine that fragment of the Heavenly Dao because I was afraid I would no longer be myself. So I hid the fragment of the Heavenly Dao in the old Water God Temple and suppressed it with water. The water is still there, which proves that the Grand Preceptor could not find that fragment of the Heavenly Dao.”

"I see."

Qin Luo nodded slightly, "Senior, why does the Imperial Preceptor want to obtain the Fragment of the Heavenly Dao?"

The Water God shook his head; he didn't know either. "The fragments of the Heavenly Dao possess power that countless strong individuals dream of. Perhaps the Imperial Advisor also covets the power of the fragments of the Heavenly Dao."

"Young friend, please tell Linglong not to seek revenge and to live a good life."

The water god waved goodbye to Qin Luo. He was just a lingering obsession, not even a remnant soul, and would eventually dissipate. The rain outside the temple gradually lessened and finally disappeared.

Wu Shashen stood up and looked outside the temple. "This rain is really strange. It starts and stops just as suddenly!"

The rain stopped and the sun shone brightly.

The incense stick that Qin Luo had lit went out, and he and Wu Shashen left the Water God Temple and returned to the small boat on the shore.

Looking at the dry wooden boat, Wu Shashen asked in confusion, "Boatman, why isn't this boat wet?"

"It's not raining!"

Yao Qingshan asked with a puzzled look.

Wu Shashen looked at Qin Luo and said in a serious tone, "It's possible that you moved the Water God to tears."

"Chu mi chu mi".

After hearing this, the little dumpling dropped the grass in its mouth to the ground. It covered its belly with its wings, its head almost tilted to one side from laughing.

Qin Luo smiled slightly, "Old Yao, I'd like to visit the old Water God Temple. Could you take me there?"

"no problem."

"It's on the way anyway."

The small boat set off again.

...

I've been very busy lately, so I'll only be updating once a day!

Have fun, everyone! Good evening!
