There is an extremely flat area of ​​water in the upper reaches of the Xu River, which the locals call "Pingkou". It is a ferry crossing and also the area where the water flow is the slowest in the 7,000-mile Xu River.

However, the cave of the "Green Crocodile King" is just below this flat entrance.

This caused great suffering to the people of the entire Xujiang Prefecture. The Xujiang Prefecture was divided into two halves by the 7,000-mile Xujiang River. If people wanted to travel back and forth, they had to pass through this Pingkou.

Because except for this flat mouth, the entire Xu River is an area with fast-flowing water, making it difficult for people and boats to cross.

The former governor of Xujiang Prefecture wanted to build several bridges across the Xujiang River, but each time ended in failure. Either the half-built bridges suddenly collapsed, or the bridge builders fell into the river and died one after another.

Later, the "water god" Green Crocodile King appeared in person, causing panic in Xujiang Prefecture and the bridge construction project came to an end.

To put it simply, the water god of the Xu River doesn't allow the common people to build bridges. If you want to cross the river, you have to go through Pingkou. Pingkou is a section of slow-flowing water that the water god mercifully opened up from the Xu River. So, you mortals who have received the water god's favor should at least give something back, right?

What is the reward? It is simple: every year offer a pair of young boys and girls.

Young boys and girls have pure yang and pure yin bodies, which are of great benefit to demon cultivators. Although the Green Crocodile King has become an immortal, he still likes to eat the flesh and blood of young boys and girls, because each pair of boys and girls can bring him nearly a hundred years of cultivation growth.

On this day, a generous Taoist priest came from Yuanshi County, located on the south bank of Pingkou of Xujiang River. He said that he wanted to open up Xujiang River for the people of Xujiang Prefecture and kill the evil spirit.

But whether it was the prefectural officials, county officials, or the common people of Xujiang Prefecture, they all avoided this Taoist named Fang.

The Green Crocodile King was the water god of the Xu River and had ruled the Xu River for hundreds of years. During this period, the people of the Xu River had sought surrender from Taoist priests and monks, but all the Taoist priests and monks were killed in the end. The people suffered severe revenge from the Green Crocodile King and suffered countless casualties.

So over the years, the people have submitted to the Green Crocodile King and dared not cause any more trouble.

Offering a pair of boys and girls every year is not a big deal. With a population of six million in Xujiang Prefecture, all we need to do is have more children.

In response to this, the prefect of Xujiang Prefecture also formulated a policy that any citizen of Xujiang Prefecture who could give birth to three children would be rewarded with fifty taels of silver, and ten taels of silver for each additional child thereafter. Therefore, the population of Xujiang Prefecture was still very prosperous.

Although they did not dare to pay attention, when the generous Taoist came to Pingkou to subdue the Green Crocodile King, many people still followed him, gathered in the mountains and plains, and watched from afar.

When they saw the generous Taoist perform magic and fly into the Xu River on the spiritual light, their eyes widened.

Soon, waves began to roll in the Xu River, and roaring sounds and magical lights were heard from time to time.

After an unknown amount of time, the people around suddenly saw a surge of waves in the Xu River, followed by a wave rushing onto the shore, bringing up a corpse.

The people all groaned in unison, then they quickly stepped forward, set up an incense table on the bank of the Xu River, offered three kinds of animals, and then kowtowed towards the Xu River to apologize.

Then the turbulent waves in the flat mouth slowly subsided, and then a deep and ferocious voice came from the water: "I am the Green Crocodile King, the water god of the Xu River. How dare you sit here and offend my water palace? The Xu River Palace must offer two pairs of boys and girls as sacrifices this year, otherwise I will not forgive you."

After he finished speaking, Pingkou became completely calm, and the people all kowtowed in response. After a long time, they dared to go forward to see the corpse.

The corpse had turned into a mummy, with only a thin layer of skin attached to the bones. The flesh and blood had been sucked dry by the Green Crocodile King, but from the Taoist robe he was wearing, it could be seen that this was none other than the generous Taoist priest.

"Take it back." An old man with white hair and beard looked at the body of Taoist Dafang, shook his head and sighed.

The people immediately carried the body of Taoist Dafang back for burial, but what no one knew was that after they buried the body of Taoist Dafang, the body immediately turned into a clear and spiritual divine light and disappeared without a trace.

This generous Taoist is one of Fang Jian's countless incarnations. These incarnations are all formed by Fang Jian's infinitesimal divine consciousness and magical power (equivalent to a cell in the body). Their sole function is to descend into the mortal world and experience various means to comprehend the laws of nature. They travel the four corners of the earth and experience the ups and downs, honor and disgrace, wealth and poverty, birth, old age, sickness and death.

After the death of these incarnations, they will return to their origins and return their experiences and insights to Fang Jian's soul.

When the real Xuanjiang River God Xuanlie arrived at Pingkou Waters, three hours had passed since the battle between Dafang Taoist and Green Crocodile King.

At this time, the atmosphere in the Pingkou Demon Mansion was extremely tense. Inside the cave, a group of demon cultivators in the Yangshen realm surrounded a burly demon fairy wearing black armor and serving him diligently.

The demon fairy was none other than the Green Crocodile King. At this moment, half of his black armor was taken off because a very deep and difficult-to-heal wound appeared on his left chest.

"Hiss!" The Green Crocodile King poured the powdered elixir on the wound. As the elixir glowed, the Green Crocodile King also took a breath of spiritual energy.

The Green Crocodile King glanced at the broken sword on the ground, which had been broken into several pieces by him, and said gloomily, "Damn it! He is clearly just a cultivator in the Yangshen realm, but he was able to pierce through my protective immortal light and black armor. If I hadn't reacted quickly, he would have almost injured my heart."

The Green Crocodile King couldn't understand how a Yangshen Realm cultivator could break through his protective immortal light. Not only did he break through the protective immortal light, but he also broke through the black armor on his body.

At first he suspected that the problem was with the sword held by the Taoist priest, but after killing the Taoist priest, he found that the sword was just an extremely ordinary magic weapon and there was nothing special about it.
