Chapter 53: Shishi River God, Shishi King Statue
Xu Yanran looked towards the center of the lake and said with a smile, "This is the Stone Lion King Statue. According to records, there was a flood here during the Guangyu period, and this Stone Lion King Statue was erected. Since then, there has been no flood here again.

It has been more than three hundred years. The altar was offered by people from the nearby villages on their own initiative.

This stone lion king statue can almost be said to be the river god of the Shishi River. Every summer solstice, sacrifices are held here.”

"Three hundred years?"

Qin Jiang muttered to himself, stepped forward, and stepped directly on the water. The evil energy under his feet surged, but it did not cause any ripples.

This is the benefit of cultivating the Earth Dragon Body at the same time. His control over his own body has reached a very high level.

When you come to the stone platform and walk to the stone lion king statue, you can clearly see that the statue is covered with gullies and shows signs of heavy rain erosion and weathering.

The fingertips gently touched and stroked the rough and uneven statue, and a cool breath rushed into the body.

[Potential points absorbed. 0.20.50.60.5]

[Potential Points: 10.5]

A total of 5.2 potential points were added! It is worthy of being revered as a river god after standing for three hundred years.

But when he looked around, he found that there was no negative energy gathered in this place, so the strange creature might not be here.

Tap tap tap! Tap tap tap!
Just as he was wondering, the sound of rapid and heavy horse hooves was heard, and a black horse, much larger than an ordinary horse, was galloping at high speed.

Qin Jiang looked over and recognized that it was a warhorse belonging to the county soldiers. The figure sitting on the horse was very eye-catching, and the iron tower-like body was none other than the county lieutenant Long Yuesheng.

Hurry——!
Long Yuesheng stopped his horse, holding the blood-flame golden spear in his hand, and looked around with his eyes.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xu Yan and nodded slightly.

Then he turned to look at Qin Jiang, and was suddenly a little surprised. When he saw clearly that Qin Jiang was wearing a fox fur cloak, his eyes changed from surprise to shock.

Qin Jiang walked from the center of the lake to the shore. Long Yuesheng sat on his horse and looked at Qin Jiang with a complicated look.

"Lord Long." Qin Jiang called.

Long Yuesheng reacted, turned over and dismounted, and casually stuck the blood-flame golden spear into the ground, with a look of relief and sigh on his face.

"I originally thought that you were a commoner with no background. After you became a county soldier, I would be transferred back to the county city one day and let you follow me as a personal soldier. This would be considered a good future for you.

But I never thought that you have already put on the fox fur cloak of the Red Tiger Gang. I am afraid that it won’t be long before the Red Tiger Gang will have another leader.

If I had known this earlier, I would not have let you go to the banquet that day. Please don't bear a grudge against me."

Qin Jiang smiled and said, "Master Long, you must be joking. Why would I bear a grudge against you for this?"

Long Yuesheng also laughed, "I was overthinking it."

"I wonder why Lord Long is here?" Qin Jiang asked.

There have been many weird things happening recently, and the Red Tiger Gang has mobilized many people to deal with it. Even the gang leader rarely stays in the gang. This Lord Long should also be busy eliminating the weird things.

"Oh, yes, I'll take care of things here. I think you have probably guessed that this incident was caused by something strange.

I got the news that this weird creature here is very powerful. In Black Mountain City, besides me, only Gang Leader Lu is confident that he can deal with it. Even the county magistrate cannot do it.

In fact, it's all thanks to you for bringing back the blood gold. This blood flame golden spear has a restraining effect on weirdness, which makes me feel a lot more relaxed. "Long Yuesheng said with a smile.

As he said this, he looked at Xu Yanran and said, "Besides, the Xu family has given me great support, so I naturally cannot be ungrateful, haha."

"Lord Long, you are too polite. You have contributed a lot to Black Mountain City, and my Xu family should do our part." Xu Yanran said with a smile.

"Hahaha, Miss Xu is a good person. I know something about your Xu family. Although I can't help you much, if you are in the county town in the future and have the chance, we can visit each other more often." Long Yuesheng said with a smile.

Xu Yanran was delighted when she heard this, "Thank you very much, Master Long."

Tap tap tap! Tap tap tap!
The sound of horse hooves was heard, and Tian Shangfei came quickly. At this time, in addition to riding a horse, Tian Shangfei was also holding another horse in his right hand, which looked a bit funny.

Hu~~
When they got closer, Tian Shangfei stopped his horse and said, "Boss, these two horses are going together, Lord Long?!"

Before he could finish his words, he saw Long Yuesheng standing next to Qin Jiang.

When I saw the black warhorse from afar just now, I felt that it looked familiar. I didn't expect that it was Long Yuesheng. "Who are you?" Long Yuesheng asked.

Tian Shangfei quickly dismounted, "I was a small leader of the Red Tiger Gang's Sixth Hall. Oh no, no, no, I'm a big leader now, working under Boss Qin."

Long Yuesheng nodded, "You are Brother Qin's man, I will remember you."

Upon hearing this, Tian Shangfei shrank his neck in surprise. He knew that this was County Captain Long giving face to his boss.

Tatata!
There was another round of horse hoofbeats, this time it seemed neither hurried nor slow, but rather orderly.

After a few breaths, the butler drove his horse through the woods. When he saw Long Yuesheng, he was slightly stunned, and then he quickly adjusted himself and stopped the horse.

"Lord Long." He greeted softly.

"Butler Xu, long time no see. How is Mr. Xu doing recently?" Long Yuesheng asked with a smile.

He knew some details about the Xu family, and also knew that although this butler seemed to have little presence, he was actually a master in the realm of divine will.

The Golden Flame Sword has been cultivated to the fourth level and is not far from the grandmaster realm at the pinnacle of divine will.

In terms of strength, it is enough to rank among the top five in Black Mountain City, and even he is not sure of being the best.

"The master is fine. Thank you for your concern, Lord Long." Butler Xu bowed slightly.

"You've come at the right time. Come and do something with me." Long Yuesheng said, as if he was asking, but not in a questioning tone.

Butler Xu looked at Xu Yanran, who thought for a moment and nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Long Yuesheng smiled and said, "Brother Qin, you and Miss Xu go back first. I will go with Butler Xu to find this strange thing."

Qin Jiang nodded, "Then we will go ahead and wish Lord Long a triumphant return."

On the way back to the city, Tian Shangfei made an excuse to leave, leaving only Qin Jiang and Xu Yanran riding slowly forward.

"Does Mr. Qin have any relatives at home?" Xu Yanran asked.

"And there's my sister." Qin Jiang said.

Xu Yanran nodded slightly, her eyes a little lonely, "Yanran is the only one of her generation left in the family."

If not for this, she wouldn't have to take on the responsibility of managing such a huge Xu family.

They were silent all the way until they arrived at the west gate of the inner city and said goodbye. Xu Yanran suddenly called Qin Jiang.

Qin Jiang turned around and asked inquiringly.

Xu Yanran tilted her head slightly, with an imperceptible blush on her face, "Master Qin, don't forget the Lantern Festival on the 15th of next month. You promised me."

Qin Jiang smiled when he heard this, "Haha, of course."

It was almost noon when we returned to Anxin Villa. Several disciples of the Red Tiger Gang were standing at the gate of the villa.

After seeing Qin Jiang, one of them quickly came over to lead the horse, "Deacon Qin, I am Liang Wei, a subordinate of Elder Chen. The elder is waiting for you in the courtyard now."

Qin Jiang raised his eyes slightly, "What does Elder Chen want to see me about?"

"It seems to be about the hall master." Liang Wei said.

After getting off the horse and walking into the yard, Chen Feng was lying comfortably on the seat of the pavilion, holding a bunch of grapes in his hand.

Seeing Qin Jiang coming in, he waved his hands repeatedly and pointed at the table in the middle of the pavilion, "Come and try it, these are top-quality purple jade grapes, they are delicious!"

Qin Jiang sat down, picked one and tasted it. It was chilled, crispy and fragrant, and cool and refreshing.

"Elder Chen, are you looking for me?"

Chen Feng sat up and said, "It's not a big deal. The matter of the hall master has been decided. Five days later, on the first day of July, you will fight with another deacon from the fourth hall who has mastered the Red Tiger Fist.

Whoever wins will be the new Fourth Master after the merger of the Fourth Hall and the Sixth Hall. "
