At the beginning of the second year of Lin Gong's reign, the Lion Kingdom outside Guan Wai came to visit. Eight hundred monks of the Supreme Yoga Sect of Buddhism came by boat with the envoy. The group was headed by the Seven Treasures Glazed Boat, the sacred vessel of Buddhism. There were twelve high-rise boats and nearly a hundred boats.

The Huangsha River flows westward into the Nishui River and reaches Xuandu.

In order to welcome the fleet, Xuandu renovated two major ports, and also reorganized the water transportation, and consolidated the more than 40 water and land docks in Xuandu into seven. After the envoy from the Lion Kingdom arrived in Xuandu, they made some adjustments.

Then he went to Yujing. The Buddhist monks who came with the envoy stayed in Xuandu and held a Dharma meeting at the foot of Fuyu Mountain.

Practitioners from all over the world gathered at the foot of Fuyu Mountain to discuss Taoism for half a year. Numerous eminent monks emerged from this event, and the ranking of holy places was determined, which had a profound impact on the spiritual world.

But for ordinary people, these things are far away in the clouds.

However, the life trajectories of some ordinary people have undergone major changes. For example, Qinghefang lost its water and land pier and began to build a bridge.

Jiang Hehe watched stone carpenters and strongmen going back and forth along the Pu River every day, and occasionally ferried people across the river. She had an excellent memory and could basically recognize the passengers on the boat, but the only thing that impressed her deeply was the man squatting on the bank.

The person who asked her name.

Unfortunately, that person never appeared again.

The Dharma Festival at the foot of Fuyu Mountain was another big topic after the saint moved the capital. Jiang Hehe heard from the storyteller in the old warehouse that those gods flew to the sky and escaped from the earth, moved mountains and reclaimed the sea, as if they had seen it with their own eyes. But soon.

, this topic was suppressed by a strange incident-the Qinghe Bridge was halfway repaired, but the bridge foundation could not be laid down no matter what.

Before this problem was solved, several more people died. It is said that someone saw with their own eyes that these people did not fall into the river. The fog came up when they died, and those men who were good at water walked straight into the river.

, it never came out again, and the bones could not be recovered.

Everyone said that the construction of the bridge touched the cave of the River God and angered the River God. As soon as this happened, Aniang did not dare to go out of the boat. Jiang Hehe was free and had no source of livelihood. He looked forward to this matter all day long.

solve.

Some people said that they wanted to hire people to exterminate the demons, while others said that they could not be disrespectful to the river god. In half a month, two wanderers and a traveling monk volunteered to exterminate the demons. No one dared to get out of the boat, so he took a fisherman's boat and went out.

No trace left.

Jiang Hehe heard that it was the Cui family who moved from Beixiang who funded the bridge construction. The Cui family was a prominent family in Dayong, and they would probably let the government resolve the matter soon. Sure enough, an official from Shenqisi came forward and said that the river

If the demon is rampant, someone must be offering sacrifices and calling for questioning.

Sacrifice to gods other than the righteous gods is obscene worship, and this crime can be serious or minor. Jiang Hehe and A Niang were very worried. Until the demon hunting officers from the Shenzha Division came to the door, she still expected that these officers were just here for questioning, but

The old fisherman came with the messenger.

Grandma was heartbroken for a moment.

However, the messengers from Shenzhaosi did not arrest them. Instead, Cui of Beixiang invited someone to confer a title to the Lord of Pushui Prefecture. He also said that he would send someone close to the Lord of Pushui Prefecture to deliver the order.

For some reason, Jiang Hehe was chosen to be sealed, and she was given the title of goddess along with it.

Jiang Hehe suddenly became a celebrity in Qinghefang. Who among ordinary people has ever seen a living god? The old fisherman who testified that my mother-in-law worshiped the river god was quite proud and said everywhere that he was half responsible for the birth of the goddess.

Until the stage was set up by the Pu River and the Ceremony of Conferring Gods would be celebrated tomorrow, Jiang Hehe still felt like he was in a dream. Others said that after becoming a god, he would be aloof and worshiped by others. But some inexplicable scenes emerged in his heart, cold and cold.

A shadow swam across the river, and she only felt scared.

…

A stage was set up on the river bank, and there were Huadans singing operas. The lion dancers in the audience shook their huge lion heads, causing bursts of applause. This is a Nuo dance from the country of precious lions. It is said that it can drive away evil spirits and bring auspiciousness to Xuandu.

It's a new thing for people.

The title of the Ceremony of Conferring Gods sounds deceptive, but in fact it is not a big event. There are big and small princes, as big as the Lord Taishan suppressing a ghost sect. He is a god on an equal footing with the emperor. And this Ceremony of Conferring Gods by Lord Pushui

, the only people who came to watch the ceremony were Zhang Mingfu of Taiping County, Fuguo County, where Qinghefang is located, and the steward of the Cui family in Beixiang, and a few guests.

The winter in Xuandu was very cold. Jiang Hehe was wearing a red felt cloak and a thin pleated skirt of green silk, and sat on the sedan chair. When he saw his mother wiping her tears, her expression seemed happy and sad. Jiang Hehe felt a little bit.

At a loss, the people in Qinghefang envied her, but she didn't know what would happen after becoming a goddess. She would not have to worry about her livelihood all the time, and she would no longer live in Qinghefang, so where should she live?

Four men lifted the sedan chair. Jiang Hehe's position was suddenly high up, and she could see everyone around her. She looked past the crowd, and slowly she could see the water surface of Pu River. There was a light mist on the water surface.

The mist felt familiar to her, but also made her feel palpitations. She turned back to look at her grandma several times, and couldn't help but ask the bearer to stop. She wanted to go back and say a few words to her grandma, but the sedan didn't stop.

Her will wavered.

"It turns out my heart is tied up here."

Li Chan looked past the black mass of heads and looked at the slowly moving sedan.

"It has not destroyed humanity and is still worth saving."

"Stop!"

Jiang Hehe shouted.

"I don't want to be a god anymore, I want to accompany my grandma!"

"Stop! Stop!"

Jiang Hehe struggled to shake the sedan chair and grabbed the bearer's shoulders, but the bearer's movements were as steady as a rock. She was panic-stricken and looked at the people watching for help. The smiles and comments made her feel blank.

"What a filial child."

"With such filial piety, you will be blessed after becoming a goddess."

"It's rare."

Jiang Hehe came back to her senses and explained to the people around her in a hissing voice, but the more she explained, the louder the praise from others became. She tried hard to jump off the sedan, but the sedan stopped, and she was invited up by a group of people. Everyone saw

The grief-stricken look of the goddess and her birth mother expressed their deep affection for mother and daughter. Some people in the opera garden said that after today, a big drama of "The Goddess Says Her Favors to her Mother" will be staged, which will definitely be deeply touching.

Jiang Hehe shouted until her voice became hoarse and her body was exhausted. She fell limply in the sedan chair, her eyes were blank, and her face was pricked with tears. Her screams turned into murmurs, her saliva dried up from crying, and her mouth opened.

The lips are sticky between the joints.

"You don't want me to be a god...Don't be a god. I'm afraid I won't be filial, so I don't want to be a god anymore...let me go back and don't..."

"It's your choice."

A voice appeared in Jiang Hehe's ears.

"I don't want to be a god anymore, and I don't want to be a demon anymore..." Jiang Hehe replied subconsciously.

"That's good."

Jiang Hehe came to her senses for a moment. Her vision was still a little blurry, and she vaguely saw that the crowd in front of her had dispersed. A man stood in front, blocking the road to the bridge. Amidst the noisy gongs, drums and cheers, he

The voice was calm but clearly audible.
