Chapter 1511: The Immortal’s Dream

Jiang Hao mentioned the matter of eliminating the Black Mountain Old Demon again, saying: "The Black Mountain Old Demon is the resentment of the bones piled up on the Black Mountain in the City of the Dead, so he was named the Black Mountain Old Demon. He feeds on resentment to grow stronger. I sent people to sneak in and initially find out the situation of the old demon."

"The old demon occupies the City of the Dead. Now he has three generals under his command, all of whom are at the high level of ghost kings. He also has three thousand ghost generals and five thousand ghost messengers. There are also 100,000 wronged souls in the city for the Black Mountain Old Demon to drive. His strength is very strong."

Everyone's face is heavy. Just from the situation they have found out, they can know that the strength of the Black Mountain Old Demon is very terrifying.

At this time, the head of the Jindan Sect said loudly: "Exterminating demons is the unshirkable responsibility of our generation of cultivators. Now we have joined the City God Mansion. Please ask the City God for instructions if there is anything."

"Yes, such a demon is causing chaos in the underworld and harming lives. He must be eliminated. Our 72 immortal sects are all here now. Can we still be afraid of him?" Someone else said.

Many sect leaders and elders stood up and all agreed to kill the demon. Even the Shushan, Longhushan, Maoshan and other major sects that had not yet promised to join the City God agreed to send people to kill the demon. This matter was settled, which was much easier than Jiang Hao thought.

Jiang Hao bowed his hands, "In this case, please go back to the mountain gate and arrange for the people who will participate in the battle to gather in Jinhua Mansion within a month. I will arrange to receive you there. In addition, I will give seals and seals to those who want to join the City God Mansion."

After saying this, Jiang Hao bowed to several real people and said, "The Black Mountain Old Monster is transformed by resentment and is very powerful. I would like to ask several Jindan masters to help eliminate the demon."

Several real people nodded together.

"How about this battle? Let's go to the back hall to discuss it in detail." Xuanji Taoist nodded.

Two days later, Jiang Hao left Laoshan and flew back to Jinhua Villa on a sword for three days. After meeting Zhuge Wulong, he told him about his gains from the trip to Laoshan. When Zhuge heard that Jiang Hao had actually brought the entire Taoist sect into the City God team, he was immediately overjoyed.

"That's great. The City God is really generous. When you were traveling before, I thought you just wanted to learn some skills. I didn't expect that you had such a big plan in your heart. If we integrate Taoism into the City God, our strength will be a hundred times stronger."

"Those Taoist sects are relatively loose and their forces are not unified. There will not be a situation where the king is weak and the ministers are strong. The various immortal sects are scattered all over the place and are familiar with local affairs. If we recruit some local officials, the City God's government office will be established as quickly as possible."

"Although those big sects have not made direct statements, I believe that even if they will not join all of them, they will send some people to the conditions you offer. After all, the bait you put out is too fragrant and fat."

Jiang Hao smiled and shook his head, "The word bait is like I deceived them."

"Haha, I didn't deceive them, but I am eloquent." Old man Zhuge said with a smile.

Jiang Hao did not argue with him and said, "This matter is new and complicated. I will trouble Mr. Zhuge to arrange the rest."

"No problem, leave the rest to me."

Old Zhuge patted his chest and said, he had been in the officialdom for decades and was very clear about these things, and he did not feel embarrassed.

After Old Zhuge left, Jiang Hao summoned the housekeeper Laogui and ordered, "I will give you a task. There are hundreds of villas along the Jinhua River. No matter what method you use, whether you rent or buy, the more the better. Within a month, other immortals will come one after another. You must prepare a residence for them. You are responsible for this matter."

After hearing this, Laogui rolled his eyes a few times and bowed his hands and said, "Don't worry, young master, Laogui will definitely do it."

Jiang Hao did not expect Laogui to answer so confidently. This task was not easy to complete, but Laogui just rolled his eyes and agreed without showing any embarrassment.

"Oh, do you have a way?" Jiang Hao asked curiously.

The old turtle smiled, "I plan to send a dream to the owners of those villas in my identity as the river god, saying that there is a dragon causing trouble recently, which may cause a flood and destroy the villa. I send a dream to ask them to stay away from the river bank to ensure safety."

"After sending a dream, they will definitely not believe it. Tomorrow I will urge the river water to rise by three or four feet and overflow the river bank. Now they will definitely believe it and move out quickly. I can find someone to negotiate with them to rent for a period of time."

Jiang Hao laughed. This old turtle is really old and cunning. He is a river god. It is very easy to do these things, and he has earned reputation. I am afraid that his river god temple will be more prosperous in the future.

If it is a formal city god, he will never agree to the old turtle to do this, because this is a violation of the rules and disturbs the people, and he will be punished by the city god.

But now the city god is in front of him, and Jiang Hao is not a formal city god. His philosophy is that as long as the means are useful, it is okay. Small violations are nothing. Sticking to the old rules will only restrain himself.

Jiang Hao narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, then said, "In this case, why not give the Jinhua prefect and other officials a dream, saying that this time the dragon was warned by the gods, and it was originally going to hurt thousands of Jinhua people. In order to save the people along the river, the city god decided to invite many Taoist immortals to live by the river and suppress the dragon so that it would not cause harm. Let him make good arrangements when the time comes."

The so-called dragon is a big snake that has cultivated successfully, swimming through the waterway to the sea. After reaching the sea, it can turn into a dragon. This is called a dragon.

However, the dragon is a disaster for the people along the river. Although the Jinhua River is wide and has sufficient water, it is very calm and rarely floods. But if the dragon is gone, even a small river can cause huge floods and waves, submerging villages and farmland on both sides, and the casualties of the people under the flood are inevitable.

Hearing what Jiang Hao said, Lao Gui said with a smile: "Young Master is still very good. This saves you the trouble of renting a house, lets the prefect arrange it, saves interrogation, and makes it easier for the monks of the Immortal Sect to settle down. It does more than one thing with one stone."

"Go and make arrangements!" Jiang Hao said.

The old turtle hurriedly went out to do things.

Jiang Hao summoned Zhu Guang and Guixie again, took out two kits filled with Taoist talismans, and gave them detailed instructions for an hour. After making sure that they had memorized everything, he ordered: "You two, do this well." After this incident, there is no need to come back and hide in the City of Fusui to wait for my signal."

"Yes, sir."

After accepting the order, the two men chanted the spell and entered the underworld.

Jinhua City.

That night, Ma Dahu, a grain merchant, had a dream. He dreamed that the Jinhua River suddenly flooded, and a huge wave hit the other courtyard, immediately washing the other courtyard to pieces, and he was involved in the flood.

Just as he was rising and falling with the flood, shouting for help and about to drown, an old man with a white beard came over, lifted him out of the river, and placed him on a high ground far away.

Ma Dahu kowtowed to thank the old man. The old man said: "I am the God of the Jinhua River. Only because a formed dragon wanted to enter the sea and transform into a dragon, this flood was caused. Remember, from tomorrow on, you must not go to the Jinhua River." I have reported this matter to the City God and asked him to make a decision."

After the white-bearded old man finished speaking, his figure disappeared. Ma Dahu was still kneeling on the ground at this moment, his body was wet, looking at the flood in the distance, countless houses were washed away, countless corpses were floating in the river, and he didn't know what happened to his wife, family, and children. , I'm afraid it's hard to survive.

He was sad in his heart, and suddenly woke up at this moment, and started working all of a sudden, breathing heavily.

He hadn't woken up from the dream just now. At this moment, he saw his old wife sleeping beside him still struggling with her hands and whining. It was obvious that she had a nightmare.

"Madam, madam!"

Ma Dahu pushed his wife hard, and the woman suddenly woke up. When she saw her husband, she was so frightened that she grabbed her husband's arm.

"Master, I just had a nightmare. I dreamed that the Jinhua River surged and washed down the flood. Our house was washed away by the river and everyone was involved in the flood. I struggled hard, but fortunately the master woke me up. Otherwise I might really drown in the flood."

After hearing what his old wife said, Ma Yuanwai's eyes widened and he said with some surprise: "You, you also dreamed about the flood of Jinhua River?"

The old wife was stunned, "Why, did the master dream about it too?"

Ma Yuanwai nodded blankly, "Yes, I dreamed about it too. I not only dreamed about the flood, I also dreamed about an old immortal with a white beard who claimed to be the God of the Wujiang River and rescued me from the flood. The old immortal told me I think this flood happened because of the wandering dragons.”

"Oh, I remembered." Ma Yuanwai slapped his thigh.

"What did the master remember?" the old wife asked.

"The white-bearded old god in the dream is exactly the same as the river god statue in the Wujiang River Temple that was just erected a few months ago." Ma Yuan said.

At this moment, there was a loud knock on the door outside the horseman's house. The old wife got out of bed, walked to the door and asked who it was.

"Mom, it's me, I just had a nightmare." His son's voice came from outside the door.

The old wife quickly opened the door, and outside the door was their youngest son, Wuzi, who was only fourteen years old. The younger son told his father and mother about his dream in panic. Both of them looked shocked because the younger son's dream had nothing to do with them. The dream was exactly the same, there was a flood in Jinhua River.

The wife hugged her son, looked at the master who was standing in the hall wearing pajamas, and said: "Master, this is a strange time. I'm afraid it's a dream from an immortal. We might as well move to the city tomorrow."

The horseman nodded solemnly, "Yes, there is no need to wait for tomorrow to move to the city. Move now, wake up everyone, and we will go to the city immediately. As for the things here, the valuables will be moved away, and the rest will be moved away. Leave it here."

The head of the family made a decision, and all the servants were called up. They were confused after hearing the order, especially the housekeeper.

"Master, we are moving overnight, this and this..." The housekeeper looked at the master in surprise, and then at his wife, hoping that she would persuade him.

But the lady opened her mouth and said: "Don't look at me, move now. This is what the master and I decided together."

"But Master, even if we move now, we can't get in unless the city gate is opened." The housekeeper said with a sad face.

The horseman snorted, "We have to move. Even if we wait in the carriage to the city gate, we have to move now."

"It's Master, I'll ask people to move now." The housekeeper quickly agreed.

"Only move valuables, nothing else, and move quickly. I will only give you two sticks of incense time." Ma Yuanwai said.

Two sticks of incense are probably only enough to hitch a carriage.

It didn't take long, and several carriages, surrounded by maids and servants, were heading towards Jinhua City with torches. It was not far to begin with, only two or three miles, and soon they arrived at the gate of Jinhua City. The housekeeper was surprised to find that it was not just his master who was crazy. Four or five fleets have already accumulated here.

The horseman knew that there was someone else, so he immediately got out of the car to check, and found that the carriage in front was familiar, so he shouted, "Is that carriage in front of you Brother Liu Jun?"

Someone quickly got off the carriage and came to the horseman, "Brother Ma, what are you doing?"

"What about Brother Liu Jun?"

The two looked at each other and said in unison: "You didn't dream about the flood in Wujiang River, did you?"

After the two of them finished speaking, their bodies trembled and their eyes widened at the same time. It turned out that they were not the only ones dreaming about the great flood.

"Did an old fairy with a white beard save you in your dream?" Ma Yuanwai asked.

"Yes, that old god calls himself the Wujiang River God. Do you think so too?" Liu Jun asked quickly.

The two of them nodded together and said, "The river god told me in his dream that there is really going to be a flood in Wujiang!"

As time went by, more and more people flocked to the Jinhua City Gate. Because it was still a few hours before the city gate opened, they could only stand in the spring breeze. Some people shouted at the city gate soldiers if they could open the door. How dare the gatekeepers dare? He opened the door privately, but looking at the dense crowd of cars and horses outside, he didn't know what big thing had happened, so he immediately ran to the city to report to his superior.

Afterwards, the report was reported level by level, and the Jinhua Prefecture’s colleagues ran to report the matter to the prefect. After listening to the report, the Jinhua Prefecture’s eyes couldn’t help flashing, and he looked at his colleagues and knew: “To tell you the truth, I also received a dream from the River God. , it is said that floods will occur in Wujiang River and may even harm the lives of thousands of people. Is this true? "

Tongzhi frowned and said, "I didn't believe it at first, but now that so many people are being entrusted with dreams by the river god, I'm afraid it's true. Lord Magistrate, I think I'd rather believe it."

The magistrate nodded, "The river god also said in his dream that the city god has already made arrangements for this matter. He will invite many immortal sects to come over and suppress the dragon. We still need to make arrangements for this matter."

Tongzhi bowed his hand and said, "I will fully cooperate with you to do this well."

The city gate finally opened, and all the people who had accumulated outside were let into the city. In the blink of an eye, at dawn, there were still convoys entering the city one after another. They were all wealthy people who lived in other courtyards outside the city and were moving.

Throughout Jinhua City, there was a lot of discussion in the streets and alleys, and one thing was being spread, and that was the river god's dream last night.

Not only one person received a dream from the River God, but so many people had the same dream. Even if it was not true, it was true. Therefore, now the entire Jinhua City, from ordinary people to high-ranking families, to officials at all levels, and even the two prefects share the same dream. Officials, all believe in this matter.

While people were still talking, a young man hurried into the city, shouting as he ran, "Oh no, go and take a look, the water in the Jinhua River has started to rise!"

People were shocked. Many people ran out of the city and went to the river to check and found that the water in the river was rising rapidly.

At this moment, people's last trace of doubt was gone.

At this time, someone shouted: "Let's go quickly and offer incense to the River God and ask for His blessing!"

When people heard this, they all ran to the River Temple. Lao Gui's River Temple was not big, and could even be said to be simple. It was not much better than the Earth Temple. There was a stone-carved incense burner outside the small temple, which was very shabby.

But at this time, the incense burner was filled with incense, and a group of people were kneeling outside and praying.

For a time, the small temple of the river god by the Jinhua River was surrounded by incense and green smoke flew three to five miles away.
