Chapter 708 Something Wrong, Wanli Gate
The development of the matter was beyond everyone’s expectations.

If nothing unexpected had happened during Lu Xingwei’s revival, his amnesia might not have been so severe that he would have forgotten something as important as the jade box.

If he hadn’t forgotten, Wen Yan wouldn’t have taken it out and opened the box again.

If the box hadn’t been opened, Luoshen would definitely not have revived, and none of these things would have happened.

The Lieyang Tribe had been working on the matter of the River God’s wife for quite some time, mobilizing a lot of manpower and resources to continue digging.

But there must be far more than eighteen backup wives of the River God, and this matter has not been resolved yet.

To be more precise, there is actually no accurate number of how many female water ghosts are the wives of the river god, or the candidates for the wives of the river god.

This is despite the presence of the Goddess of Salvation and many water-related people secretly defecting. If it were in the past, water-related issues would have been really unsolvable.

Mind your own business, that’s exactly what it means.

These are just the tugs of war between the land and water systems. If a big shot in the water system wants to do something, the nature and difficulty will be completely different.

Be it the Lieyang tribe or the Three Mountains and Five Peaks, when it comes to the Huai River, Wen Yan is allowed to do as he pleases, as long as he can appease the Water Lord.

Shuijun has woken up. Even if he doesn’t care about anything and doesn’t do anything, Wen Yan will just run over whenever he has time, and every now and then he will call a King and bring a cart of wine over.

It seems that nothing has been done, but the result is that the Yellow River is in chaos, but the Huai River is really fine.

The effect is much better than the Lieyang Tribe and the various mountains and temples that invested so much manpower and material resources.

Now, the power of the Goddess of Luo River in the Yellow River is really incomparable to that of the God of Water in the Huai River. No one in the whole world can compare to her.

But in the Yellow River, if He Bo did not come out, there would actually be only a few people who could stand on the same level as her.

But among these, they are basically similar to Xie Xu, who is also the Yellow River god in theory, and the Four Golden Dragon Kings.

Strictly speaking, Luoshui is a tributary of the Yellow River, and the Goddess of Luo River is her legal wife no matter how you look at it.

When He Bo is not around, Luo Shen has the final say at home.

No matter who is this, if he dares to secretly give a concubine to He Bo, he can’t even have the title of concubine without Luo Shen’s approval.

Luoshen rode on a lone boat, and Wen Yan followed obediently as a pendant, sailing all the way on the Yellow River.

When you reach the place you sensed, go into the water and look for the water palace.

After being found, those who showed their teeth and harmed others will be turned into statues on the spot. Those who have good thoughts in their hearts or want to be freed, and want to go back and take a look before being liberated, will be given a chance.

Along the way, from time to time, a water ghost or a monster would float up on the river.

The two of them killed people all the way. Wen Yan just had to follow them and didn’t need to do anything. His biggest role was probably to be a witness.

Luoshen appears gentle and virtuous on the surface, but she is actually vigorous and efficient in doing things, which is completely different from what Wen Yan imagined and what he saw in the classics.

Of course, Wen Yan also felt that maybe in everyone’s impression, Luo Shen was just good-looking and a good dancer.

To be honest, she is good-looking, but it’s a very classical kind of beauty, without any sense of weirdness or stunningness.

It took half a day to capture seven water palaces, or rather, things that could not be considered water palaces.

The whole process was bloodless, and most of the time the opponent was petrified before a word was even spoken.

Wen Yan helped and threw the petrified guy out.

Wen Yan wanted to capture more people alive and interrogate them properly when he returned, but after seeing more than ten water ghosts or water monsters, he lost interest.

Just throw it out anyway. If there are any survivors, let the Lieyang Tribe fish them out. If not, forget it.

The cleaning process was uneventful, and the time spent on the road was more than the time actually doing the work.

At the same time, after receiving the message, the three mountains and five peaks also sent people to Zhongyuan County and gathered on the right bank.

Everyone was waiting, but no one had any objections.

Between the three mountains and five peaks and the water system, you have your way and I have mine, and no one has got in each other’s way. In fact, there is no connection between them.

This informal gathering can be regarded as the first formal interview after the revival of spiritual energy.

Luo Shen personally took action to clean up the River God’s wife, and no one had any objection. They all hoped that Luo Shen would do a good job.

The temporarily arranged meeting place was quiet and peaceful. It was a venue reserved by the Lieyang Tribe. At this time of the year, when the branches and leaves were lush and green, it did not look deserted at all.

The head of Wudang and the head of Qingcheng had nothing to do recently, so after receiving the news, they came over in person.

Qingxuzi’s face was flushed with joy, and he looked relaxed and at ease. He drank some pretty good green tea and felt like he was tasting a tribute.

“You should restrain yourself a bit. You are the only one who is showing off among all the people here.” The head of Wudang couldn’t stand it anymore.

“I, the Taoist Master Bu Yu from Qingcheng, am working with the Goddess Luo to eliminate the evil ways of the Yellow River and the wife of the River God. We are clearing out this evil feudal superstition project. As an elder, I have a good reputation. Do I have to put on a long donkey face?”

Qingxuzi’s face was flushed, almost bright red, and he shouted in a loud voice with his eyes wide open.

“…”

The Wudang leader immediately felt very regretful and thought he should have held back.

Qingxuzi, this old bull nose, is just waiting for someone to dislike him, say something to him, and help him to be funny.

“Wen Yan’s identity this time is the representative of Fuyu Mountain! He represents Fuyu Mountain, not himself! He has nothing to do with your Qingcheng!”

“Then he is also from my Qingcheng. I personally worshipped the ancestor and left his name on him.” Qingxuzi didn’t care at all and was still in a very good mood.

“Don’t be so cocky. Don’t you think there’s something wrong with the sudden resurrection of the goddess Luo and her being different from the legend?”

After hearing this, Qingxuzi took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and laughed strangely.

“Ever since the spiritual energy revived, and since the spiritual energy revived and accelerated ten years ago, and accelerated again last year, aren’t there enough wrong things going on?”

The Wudang headmaster was stunned when he heard this and let out a long sigh.

Comparing with what happened before, the guardian beasts of Wudang are actually the incarnations of Taotie.

Luoshen, who had disappeared for a long time, suddenly appeared for some reason, acting like a lady, decisive and swift. Actually, there was nothing strange about it.

“You’re right, there’s really nothing strange about it.

Classics are something that should never be followed blindly. Besides, the records about the Goddess of Luo River are very old.

The most recent record in Wudang was more than 800 years ago. It only recorded things not related to worldly affairs and said nothing else.

What I want to say is, didn’t you find it strange that Wen Yan was dragged along?

Have you ever thought about what impact this will have after it gets out?

Everyone knows the grudge between the scorching sun of Mount Buyeo and the many water gods in the north.

Now that He Bo has not returned, Luo Shen appears and takes Wen Yan to walk along the Yellow River.

To those who don’t know the situation, it looks like the wife is taking her younger brothers who will definitely not side with He Bo to catch the mistress.”

Qingxuzi’s expression froze, his smile disappeared, and he became a little angry.

“What nonsense are you talking about? You are a true Taoist practitioner, but why do you say things like a gossipy auntie in the market?”

“I come from a martial arts background, so I always speak directly. I can’t help it if you don’t like what I say. Anyway, this is how it is. Just tell me if I’m right or not!”

Qingxuzi couldn’t refute it. After these words entered his mind, they seemed to be true no matter how he looked at them.

At least it is difficult to find a better explanation, and most people would probably prefer to believe this kind of gossip.

Seeing that Qingxuzi stopped talking, the Wudang headmaster lowered his voice.

“I mean, we all know that this is definitely not about catching a mistress, but on the surface it looks like it. So, what exactly does this Luoshen want to do?
Why do you have to drag Wen Yan along? Have you ever thought about this question carefully? “

Qingxuzi pondered for a moment and his expression became serious.

“I don’t know. I don’t know either. I can’t guess. You should just ask Wen Yan directly later. Why are you guessing blindly here? I hate you Taoist priests who guess about others behind their backs the most!”

Qingxuzi stretched out his hand, drank the tea in the cup, then stood up and left.

The Wudang headmaster pointed to the chessboard on the table.

“Fuck you, Wuliang Tianzun, can you finish your game? I’m only three moves away from winning, can you please have some shame!”

But Qingxuzi didn’t even turn his head, he took two steps at a time and quickly disappeared.

They came to the top of a mountain and looked at the river in the distance with Qingxuzi frowning.

He didn’t care about that. He just felt that it was really hateful for Wen Yan to be dragged around like this.

There may not be many people who dare to show their teeth to Luo Shen, after all, her status is there, but there are many people who dare to show their teeth to Wen Yan.

If Wen Yan followed along, if they wiped out the wife of the river god in the Yellow River, it would destroy the interests of not just one or two people.

What on earth does this Luoshen want to do?
Luo Shen had just woken up, so he certainly didn’t know much about the current situation, and he certainly didn’t know much about Wen Yan either.

She definitely wouldn’t be trying to use Wen Yan to bring the Three Mountains and Five Mountains and the Lieyang Tribe along to do anything.

At the same time, in Shanghai, a person was video chatting with someone else. The person on the other end was in the deep mountains and forests, but the signal was always smooth.

“Have you figured it out? What exactly happened?”

“I’m not sure, but you know, the sudden appearance of Luoshen, who hasn’t appeared for nearly two thousand years, and bringing Wen Yan with her, is very strange in itself.”

“I remember there was a passage in the middle section, right?”

“Ah.”

“Hasn’t it been discovered?”

“There is no news of him being swept away, so he probably hasn’t been discovered. Otherwise, given his current behavior, he must have been swept away.”

“So what on earth does she want to do by recruiting a bunch of people?”

“I don’t know. I don’t understand. But at least one thing is certain. The ancient books that can be found and handed down, even the slightly detailed ones, are not credible.”

“Find a way to send a message. We can’t wait any longer.”

“All of us don’t dare to get close now.”

“Oh, don’t tell me that this is the only way you can send a message. This matter is of great importance and must be carried out according to the plan. Is that Lu still in Nanwu County?”

“exist.”

“Okay, let’s talk about it tomorrow when we meet.”

For a while, the situation, which had been undercurrents recently, became unsettled because of the Yellow River incident, making many people feel uneasy.

Even if it has nothing to do with these things, I still want to find out what happened.

On the solitary boat, Luo Shen was sitting there. Wen Yan leaned his head out and observed the water flow under the boat. He wanted to learn this.

Anyway, he wants to learn everything he sees now, especially things that he has the potential to learn.

Luo Shen had a calm expression and watched quietly.

There was no fancy reason for her to bring Wen Yan along; she just simply hoped that Wen Yan could witness it.

After Wen Yan opened the box, he was able to recall and identify what happened. Nothing happened afterwards and his memory was obviously not confused.

That only means that what Wen Yan remembers cannot be changed or erased.

Luo Shen was not so confident about this. She felt that she might not remember something, and she needed Wen Yan to remember.

Another problem was that she also knew that some of the rumors circulating outside were somewhat inconsistent with her understanding, so she personally brought Wen Yan with her to convey something.

Wen Yan can come to the Yellow River whenever he wants. Even if the River God is there, he cannot do anything to Wen Yan.

She also felt that the fact that Wen Yan possessed the true meaning of the Yellow River should not be known to everyone, but she could take Wen Yan with her.

We pushed forward smoothly all the way and passed two hydropower stations. Luo Shen looked at the hydropower stations for a long time.

She took Wen Yan on the journey back home. After two days, when they arrived at Xihai County, Wen Yan keenly sensed that something was wrong.

He stood up and looked ahead.

“Sister, are we almost reaching the source?”

“Well, did you notice?”

“It just feels weird, like I’m about to leave this world. I’ve fallen outside this world too many times before, so I’m already very sensitive.”

“Yes, if you continue to go upstream and go back to the source, you will leave this world and go to other places.”

Luo Shen stared ahead, with a hint of seriousness in his tone.

“Were you wondering before why there is a maze cave under the Yellow River that leads to the wilderness?”

“Yes.”

“Because the Great Wilderness is deeply connected to the present world.

There used to be two portals.

One of the portals was destroyed by Jue Tian Di Tong.

But there is another part of the connection that is so huge that it is impossible to destroy or close it.

Just as it is impossible to stop water vapor from evaporating and turning into clouds and rain, it is also impossible to stop the coming of spring and autumn.

Therefore, that kind of connection was integrated into the entire Yellow River at a very early time.

The entire Yellow River is actually a gateway.

There are no locks, no obstacles, and anyone can actually cross it.

From east to west, upstream, across thousands of miles, you will cross from one end of the gateway to the other.

This one step distance was stretched to thousands of miles.

There are surging waves and waterfalls along the way, plus all those dams you built.

Basically, there are no aquatic creatures that can make this leap.

Don’t worry that we will make the leap, we are still far from going ten thousand miles.

I just remembered all this when I followed you here.

I remember it seemed like Ha Bo told me that.

It seemed that year, he seemed to be helping Yu control the flood.

I can’t remember clearly.”

Luo Shen seemed to be talking to herself, repeating everything she had just remembered.

But to Wen Yan, these words sounded more and more strange.
