Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

The scorching sun is in the sky, although it is not yet a hot summer day, but the weather at this time really makes people feel a little hot and unbearable.

Xu Lin carried his bag, wiped the sweat on his forehead, licked his lips that were a little dry, and touched the kettle hanging on his waist.

Out of Lingzhou City, there are no people on this official road, only occasionally you can meet merchants who are in a hurry, and the appearance of the three people also attracts the attention of passers-by from time to time. The focus is, of course, Li Junyi and Lu Jiaorong, one handsome and chic, the other glamorous and moving, and Xu Lin is often regarded as their followers.

After walking for another distance, Lu Jiaorong was a little tired, so she pulled Li Junyi to a big tree to take a cooler, looking at Xu Lin's dirty face mixed with sweat and dust, and couldn't help but show a trace of disgust on his face. And when Li Junyi waited for Xu Lin to approach, he took the kettle handed over by Xu Lin as a matter of course, and then handed it to the beauty beside him with a smile, Lu Jiaorong showed a happy face, and then sweetly raised his head and took a small sip of water.

Xu Lin glanced at the kettle in Lu Jiaorong's hand, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and turned around, sat on a mound not far from the big tree, squinted his eyes, looked at the winding road, and didn't know what he was thinking.

Li Junyi and Lu Jiaorong sat next to each other, saying some sweet words from time to time, and the laughter of the two of them came into Xu Lin's ears in bursts, but Xu Lin still looked at the scenery in the distance as if he had never heard it, just stuck out his tongue from time to time and licked his somewhat dry lips.

"Xu Daoyou!"

Xu Lin was stunned, turned around, and saw that Li Junyi had stood up at this time, and Lu Jiaorong was still sitting under the big tree, but he didn't look at Xu Lin, but looked away intentionally.

"What's the matter with Li Daoyou?" Xu Lin said as he stood up.

"Come here, I've got something to ask you. Li Junyi said very casually.

Xu Lin frowned, and then a smile appeared on his face, and when he walked quickly to the two of them, Lu Jiaorong, who was sitting under the tree, frowned, and seemed to be very reluctant to stay too close to Xu Lin, and the expression on his face was cold and indifferent.

"Xu Daoyou, do you know about this gathering in the Golden Wheel Dharma Temple?" Li Junyi showed a smile on his face.

In Xu Lin's eyes, such a smile is very fake, at least it is not very pretended, in his heart must be extremely disgusted with himself! Because of the suspicion and suspicion generated by the previous events, it is with this mentality that Xu Lin knows that no matter what he does, the two people in front of him will not like him because of this, but do he need them to like him?

"Daoyou is talking about the death of Master Zhiqing. Xu Lin pretended to be serious, and then replied.

"Well, it seems that you know, I don't know who Kunlun sent to this conference. ”

Looking at Li Junyi, Xu Lin thought about it, this guy still seems to want to investigate himself, presumably this Li Junyi is still very uneasy about himself, and always wants to check his true body from the side, but then again, Xu Lin is a real Kunlun disciple.

Smiling, Xu Lin tried his best to make his expression more natural, and told Li Junyi about what happened to him this time when he went down the mountain, because Xu Lin felt that there was nothing to hide about these things, if Qingming Zhenren and others were not killed by those two old devils, these things would sooner or later be known to the world, and at this time, telling this matter from Xu Lin's mouth could help Xu Lin a lot.

Gradually, Lu Jiaorong, who was looking to the side, was also attracted by what Xu Lin said, and after the two listened to the whole thing, Li Junyi was silent, but Lu Jiaorong sighed for a while, and scolded the two old monsters of the Demon Sect even more.

"It just so happens that after we meet with the elder immortal masters of Shushan, we will go to the Golden Wheel Dharma Temple together, I believe that we will meet the elders of Kunlun at that time, and we will definitely make the Demon Sect pay the price for this matter. ”

Looking at Li Junyi's righteous words, Xu Lin sneered in his heart, this Li Junyi said it well, but I don't know if I will have the opportunity to go to the Golden Wheel Temple again after seeing the elder immortal master of Shushan.

Xu Lin didn't poke it either, and while saying yes again and again, Li Junyi had already pulled Lu Jiaorong to stand up and continue to hurry.

Looking at the backs of the two of them, Xu Lin's eyes, a trace of cruelty flashed, and then he picked up the kettle under the big tree and put it on his shoulder again, and couldn't help but think again, this Li Junyi's previous words were mostly prevarication, if it is really like what he said, why not untie the prohibition in his body now?

The three of them walked all the way, walking and stopping, unconsciously walked to the edge of the Yellow River, looking at the rushing Yellow River, looking at the rolling waves, Xu Lin and the three couldn't help but stop, looking at the majestic scene in front of them with emotion.

"The Yellow River is thousands of miles of sand, and the waves are blowing from the end of the world. The poets of those days should have seen such a magnificent scene as the Yellow River, so they would write such poems!" Li Junyi couldn't help but sigh at this time.

Lu Jiaorong on the side couldn't help nodding again and again, while Xu Lin behind him looked silent, but there was not much fluctuation, on the contrary, his eyes were looking in the other direction at this time, which was the upstream position.

As if sensing Xu Lin's strangeness, Li Junyi glanced back at Xu Lin, then followed Xu Lin's gaze, and couldn't help but show a look of surprise between his eyebrows.

I saw that at the location of the two of them, the upper reaches of the Yellow River, on its bank, there were many villagers wearing red jackets, blowing trumpets, beating drums and gongs, shouting and drinking along the way. The most conspicuous thing is that in the middle of the team, there is a big red sedan chair carried by eight people.

Attracted by the sound of gongs and drums, Lu Jiaorong also showed something unusual, and couldn't help but be surprised: "What a good day is today, there is a marriage." ”

"Marriage?" Xu Lin sneered at this time, and then said to Lu Jiaorong: "Have you ever seen a paper figure in front of you when you got married?"

Hearing Xu Lin's words, Lu Jiaorong's face suddenly turned cold, and she looked extremely unhappy, but when she saw that in the front row of the queue that seemed to be sending off relatives, there was a paper figure holding a pair of children, boys and girls, and she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment and said, "What's going on?"

"Sacrifice to the river god!" Li Junyi suddenly said at this time, seeing that this team was getting closer and closer to his own, Li Junyi whispered to Lu Jiaorong: "I remember that the master said before that there is a custom of worshipping the river god along the Yellow River. Now it seems that it is not bad. ”

"What kind of sacrifice?" Lu Jiaorong asked curiously.

"Put the boys and girls in the big red sedan chair, then burn the paper-tied boys and girls, then set the offering table, burn incense and pray, and then put the big red sedan chair in the river, which is roughly the process. ”

"Ah!", Lu Jiaorong looked at the team that was about to be close with a look of disbelief, and couldn't help but say, "Senior brother has to stop them." ”

"I'm afraid it's not that simple!" Li Junyi shook his head thoughtfully and said, then turned his head to look at Xu Lin and said, "Xu Daoyou has just seen the clues at a glance, and he seems to be very familiar with this river sacrifice, can you tell me about it in detail?"

"Not really. Xu Lin smiled humbly, and then Lu Jiaorong couldn't help but hurriedly interject on the side: "Let you say, you will say, what so much nonsense!"

Xu Lin's smile was still on his face, but he nodded a little apologetically, and inadvertently, a fierce light flashed in the depths of his eyes, which was not seen by Li Junyi and Lu Jiao.

"People living on the edge of the Yellow River have a close relationship with the Yellow River in every part of their lives, especially in sowing grain. If the Yellow River floods, the season's efforts will be in vain, and the year's lives will be ruined. Therefore, the Yellow River is the heaven of the people here, and the Yellow River is the food and clothing of the people here, and in order to make the 'parents' happy, we must always be filial to them, as you see now. ”

"What is this? Lu Jiaorong looked at these people who had already walked to her side in disbelief, and those people were also stunned when they saw Xu Lin and the others, and the team stopped.

"What are you doing?" An old man with a white beard in the team, with a crutch in his hand, a fold on his face, and a bronzed skin, in the ravines left by the years, patches of brown old age spots, densely crawling all over his face. At this time, he was carefully looking at Xu Lin and the others with a pair of small eyes.

Clasped his hands into fists, Li Junyi made a salute and said: "Uncle, we are just wanderers from all over the world, and we pass by here by chance, and we have no other intentions." ”

Lu Jiaorong wanted to say something, but before she could say anything, she was stopped by Li Junyi, who pouted a little reluctantly, and looked at the big red sedan chair in the team in a daze.

"Who is sitting in the sedan chair?" Xu Lin actually stood up at this time, pointed to the sedan chair and asked.

Li Junyi frowned, and glared at Xu Lin with some displeasure, but Lu Jiaorong, who was beside him, saw that Xu Lin was talking at this time, and couldn't help but say, "Are you going to sacrifice people to the river god?"

Hearing this, Xu Lin's heart was in ecstasy, looking at the old man, his face gradually turned cold, and he thought to himself, the more chaotic the better!

"I don't know the so-called doll, how dare you be so presumptuous? Don't get out of the way quickly, delay me and other big things, and I can't wait around you!" for the old man, he knocked the cane on the ground hard, and then said a little fiercely.

Lu Jiaorong chuckled, her expression was extremely contemptuous, and then she pinched her waist with both hands, and her voice rose: "If you don't make this matter clear today, no one wants to walk over from your aunt!"
