I am your natural enemy.

Chapter 696 Another River God, Blocking the Door
Wen Yan still couldn't help it, he really liked this method of constructing an air space underwater.

When he was outside, he could feel that this place was roughly equivalent to a depth of thirty meters underwater, which was obviously far beyond the maximum depth of the river in this section.

At a depth of about 30 meters, the water pressure is already quite high. Generally, only advanced open water divers can reach this depth.

To construct an airy space at this depth is not difficult, but it is a matter of cost and construction.

But Wen Yan might also feel that the pressure in this mansion is uneven, and the deeper you go, the greater the pressure.

Under such an unbalanced situation, this space can still be held up steadily, which shows that it is quite technically advanced and there are many things we can learn from it.

Whether it is in the sky or in the sea, this kind of thing is of great value.

Wen Yan asked casually, as if she didn't care much, and the second lady didn't hesitate and agreed immediately.

"No problem, come with me, this thing is not easy to move."

Wen Yan nodded and followed the other person inside. Looking at his back, he thought to himself, this guy obviously didn't receive nine years of compulsory education and his brain is average.

Otherwise, even if we don't know where else this thing might be used, we should know that if the Lieyang Tribe gets it, they can learn from it and use it to deal with things in the water, which is not impossible.

Of course, it’s better to have an average brain, otherwise it’s not easy to fool.

If it were a guy like Cai Heizi, even if he possessed the true meaning of the Yellow River, it would take at least three hundred rounds. If he was exposed in one round, there would be big trouble.

A moment later, Wen Yan was brought to the middle of the courtyard, where stood a stone tablet more than two meters high.

The stone tablet and the base are integrated into one, and the base is connected to the ground. When you get here, you can clearly see that there is a thin layer of water curtain on the surface.

Wen Yan understood in his heart that this was because the things living in the mansion needed to remain in contact with water for a long time.

As long as there is contact, even if it is a water ghost, it is not considered to have left the water area.

This is indeed a way to live for a long time without much impact.

Wen Yan looked at the stone tablet, and the first thing he felt was an aura similar to that of the water god, but not quite the same.

There are a few large characters on the front of the stone tablet, "Wangyun Mansion", and on the back are long paragraphs of text, which looks very old.

What is recorded is not some method, but some life stories about a person.

The protagonist of the record was named Xie Xu, a native of Song Dynasty. It was said that when the Song Dynasty fell, he said that it would be a great shame if he could not serve the court while he was alive and accept the salary of the new dynasty, so he wrote a suicide poem.

Then he tidied his clothes, bowed to the north, and heroically jumped into the water to die for his country.

Historical records record that "because of his unrepentant loyalty and unfulfilled ambitions, his body actually floated upstream."

A hundred years later, Zhu Yuanzhang fought with the barbarian Haiya at Lulianghong. The enemy was upstream, while the wise army was below, which was extremely disadvantageous.

Suddenly, a strong wind and waves arose, sweeping the river northward and drowning the enemy army, and The Hague was defeated.

Old Zhu also dreamed of a Confucian scholar at night, who called himself "I am Xie Xu, the God-appointed He Bo, who will help the immortal defeat the enemy."

Later, Zhu Yuanzhang named Xie the God of the Yellow River and built a temple on the river.

Later, during the reign of Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty, he was posthumously named one of the Four Golden Dragon Kings.

During the Tianqi period, he was named one of the Four Golden Dragon Kings who Protect the Country and Save Fortune, and his main duty became the master of grain transport.

This monument is just a stone tablet that records all these things. It records a lot about Xie Xu's hobbies, and laments that his ambitions were not fulfilled. His body has not fallen for a long time. I think he missed the days when he watched the clouds rolling and unrolling over the Dongshan Mountain.

No one knows who the recorder is. He only said at the end that it would be impolite to leave his name on this monument to make his presence felt, so he did not leave his name.

Wen Yan read these carefully. It was the first time he heard this name. He also knew that, in theory, there was another Yellow River water god, and it was Zhu Yuanzhang who conferred the title.

The meaning of enthroning the water god is different in different eras and to different people.

It must be not easy to be conferred titles by successive generations.

Wen Yan immediately thought of the story of Bixia Yuanjun. He actually flipped through the sacrificial records. Even if he looked at it one-sidedly, it was also an extremely inspiring story of a god's promotion.

Although the person in front of me is not as famous, his trajectory is somewhat similar.

After reading it all carefully, a prompt suddenly appeared in front of Wen Yan.

"Cloud Watching Monument."

“The anchor of Xie Xu’s achievements, the God of the Yellow River, cannot be erased, tampered with, or destroyed.

After a long period of time and being conferred titles from generation to generation, it has become magical.

If you read it carefully and remember it, and you are not a northern barbarian, you can reach out and touch it, and you can receive a gift according to your own situation. "

Wen Yan's face became serious, and he immediately stood up, straightened his clothes, bowed, and then stretched out his hand to touch it.

In an instant, an indescribable breath rushed into his body through his fingers, and new clues appeared.

"Your Water Official Talisman for Relieving Evil has gained an additional new special effect: Water Palace."

"Water Palace: You can create a space in the water that can allow non-aquatic life to survive. The specific size is directly related to the progress of the Water Official's Talisman and the depth of the water.

When you are in a specific location and are connected to the true meaning of a specific water vein, there will be additional effects. "

Some more information appeared in Wen Yan's mind. After taking a quick look, he couldn't help but be surprised.

What he cares about is not the addition of a special effect, but the fact that this special effect comes with some basic things.

These basic things are considered the basis for the existence of special effects, or part of them.

These basics include how to utilize water-related powers, how to utilize divine power, how to cast this kind of stone tablet, and other methods.

What Wen Yan lacks most are these things. His progress in the Water Official Talisman for Relieving Disasters has already been very high.

If a normal Taoist priest develops the Taoist talisman to this extent, in addition to those special effects, the basic powers can also be used to their full potential.

Unfortunately, Wen Yan did not undergo a long period of study, nor did he follow the normal path of ordination, and his subsequent development was completely non-mainstream.

As for the basics, it's basically non-existent.

Occasionally, the forum is held, but it is basically just a formality and is completely useless.

In Wen Yan's opinion, these basic things are much more useful than special effects.

He was satisfied, but on the surface, he still frowned.

"Just this?"

"It is indeed this. I don't know the details, but this thing has always been here. It was like this when I came here."

"Forget it then. It's better to have it gone. I've seen that it's related to a god. If the Blazing Sun Tribe takes it, there might be some trouble."

"Actually, I've heard that after understanding the talisman of the Goddess of Evil, having it or not no longer has much of an impact." The Second Lady regretted it after she said that, but she remembered that this matter was related to Wen Yan.

Sure enough, Wen Yan's face changed drastically after hearing this. He had been maintaining a calm face and acting like a riddle teller, making up stories to scare people, but it seemed that he could no longer maintain his composure and started to curse. "Fuck Cai Heizi, he doesn't do anything! If it weren't for the conspiracy of that bastard Cai Heizi, none of this would have happened!"

Wen Yan gritted his teeth, his eyes widened angrily, and cursed with all his heart, as if he wanted to beat the guy to death.

The Second Lady did not dare to speak. At this moment, she felt it clearly. The intense emotional fluctuations and the resulting power fluctuations were too clear.

The last bit of uncertainty in her heart disappeared at this moment.

Wen Yan is definitely in cahoots with them!

Perhaps it was because of the incident with the Goddess of Salvation that Wen Yan, in order to avoid being suspected, worked hard to clean up a lot of other non-water things and achieved a lot.

I'm afraid there really was something else going on behind what happened at that time.

She had heard of it before. Wen Yan seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, and everything that happened before became a mystery. There were probably many unknown stories involved.

Seeing this thing, Wen Yan didn't want to take it back to help the enemy. The second lady changed her mind and gave Wen Yan a lot of information considerately, asking Wen Yan to go back and report.

It just so happened that the two had seen Wen Yan and knew that Wen Yan was a water ghost among them. To be on the safe side, they had to kill him, so they started with the two of them.

After a moment, Wen Yan looked at the two water ghosts, stretched out his hands with a smile, pressed them on each other's heads, and silently changed himself to the title of the natural enemy of water ghosts.

After thinking about it, he didn't act immediately. Instead, he took out two small jade cages and stuffed them in.

Then he recorded the burial place of the corpses as told by the two water ghosts themselves and left Wangyun Mansion.

Wen Yan quietly appeared at the riverside. After getting ashore, he contacted the Lieyang Tribe and started digging according to the coordinates.

That place is for those who were accidentally pulled into the water and died. Some of them have never been seen alive or dead.

Their bodies were stored in a fixed place, and over time, it became a man-made haunted place.

The water ghosts raised there, or the power generated there, will be used by these water ghosts.

The two water ghosts captured by Wen Yan were the water ghosts that had harmed many people in the surrounding area and were also the water ghosts responsible for the burial site.

After Wen Yan reported the location, he no longer needed to be involved in the preliminary investigation.

He just asked the two water ghosts to confess everything they could on the pretext of reporting back, so that after finding the body, he could identify the person and get the job done perfectly.

After recording everything, Wen Yan slapped the water ghost while equipped with the title of the natural enemy of water ghosts.

With one slap, the two water ghosts disappeared on the spot, directly triggering complete annihilation.

A day later, near midnight, Wen Yan and some people from the Lieyang Tribe were already waiting by a river with a slow flow.

The location has been determined, but the place is somewhat dangerous and most people cannot go down to retrieve the bodies. If they are not careful, they will get killed in it.

Wen Yan volunteered to handle the matter personally.

He walked straight into the river and disappeared on the surface.

Walking down all the way and coming to a bend, I realized that the resentment and evil spirits were like streams of water, swirling and trapped here and unable to dissipate.

He walked under the mud at the bottom of the river, step by step. After a while, Wen Yan floated up with a bag of bones.

Some have been together for so long that they are no longer a whole and the connections between the bones have separated.

After working all night, we fished up an unknown number of remains.

The people from the Lieyang Tribe were still helping with the sorting. Wen Yan sighed and didn't sleep either. When the day broke, he joined in to help with the sorting.

Although it is difficult to distinguish who is who, these bones all carry resentment, and he can more or less sense the subtle differences in strength in each bone.

Since you are doing something, do it well.

Compared to fighting, he still felt that he enjoyed doing this more.

After another busy day, Wen Yan compared the black box with the missing persons report based on what the water ghost had told him, and confirmed the identity of each corpse.

Finally, he ran to the local cooperative funeral home of the Lieyang Tribe. Looking at the invited family members, who were all crying, Wen Yan squatted outside the crematorium, holding a cigarette, feeling quite melancholy.

"From dust to dust, from ashes to ashes, I have avenged some of your grievances for you. I will continue later. Now, please do not hurt your family members. Just go wherever you need to go."

When all the remains were burned and the urns were placed together, Wen Yan recited the sutra for the salvation of souls three times.

When he came out, several family members forced several red envelopes on him. He didn't want to take them, but an old lady stubbornly said, "If you don't take them, I will burn them here today."

Wen Yan had no choice but to accept the red envelope without even looking at the amount. After seeing the family members off, he turned around and gave the red envelope to the funeral home at his feet.

Tell the people at the funeral home that if there is a poor family and no one comes to see them off when they pass away, then this money can be considered as hiring someone to see them off.

As for the money for cremation, those who really have no money can all have local funds, so it is not the turn of outsiders to pay.

After finishing all these things, I felt that I had completed a beginning and an end. When I came out of the funeral home, I saw the professor sitting in the car outside, looking forward to it.

"Are you done?"

"kindness."

"Get in the car quickly."

"I have to take a shower first."

"Why waste time talking? Get in the car. I'll take you to the bathhouse. We can chat while we take a bath."

Half an hour later, Wen Yan and the professor sat together in the sauna room of the bath center, enjoying the sauna.

"Are you sure those things you posted before are true?"

"Of course they are all true, but, Professor, which ones are you talking about?"

"Thank you for that."

Hearing this, Wen Yan's eyes widened and he suddenly reacted.

"Oh my, Professor, you don't know!"

"There are so many things I don't know. Isn't this normal? If some things are deliberately downplayed, erased, or distorted, what I know may not be true."

Hearing this, Wen Yan immediately thought of Master Yu. Uh, could it be that Master Yu did this again?
If you think about it carefully, it seems possible.

After all, if these gods who were conferred upon us later were forgotten by people, it would be a big problem, and it is not impossible for them to disappear directly.

Even if it cannot be completely erased, if it is directly marginalized and other water gods are diluted to the point of having almost no presence, then as one increases while the other decreases, there will only be one He Bo in the Yellow River.

"You specifically waited for me, didn't you just want to confirm the truth of this?"

"This is of course the most important thing. I want to hear you say it in person. Only then will it count."
