After crossing over, he has no taboos among the zombies.

In the spring of March, the grass grows and orioles fly.

The world is still not peaceful, but no matter how not peaceful it is, the people still have to live their lives.

It seems to be due to the change of emperor, or the alternation of drought and flood. After the spring, the north has been rainy and cloudy, and there is no longer the drought of previous years.

With the nourishment of rain, the wild grasses in early spring have sprouted tender buds, and peach and plum trees are blooming in the forests on the hilltops.

However, even if natural disasters disappear, disasters will not end.

On the south bank of the Wei River, Yucheng.

This is an earthen city surrounded by water on both sides and with open terrain.

Thousands of people carried the three kinds of animals and tributes and paraded along the river, playing music.

This should have been a lively scene, but these thousands of people were ragged and lifeless.

Everyone followed the team with expressionless faces.

At the front of the team were three sedan chairs. Leading the way was a wizard wearing a feather hat and covered with all kinds of jingling objects. His face was painted with black paint, and he looked very strange.

The second sedan chair carried an official wearing a green robe with a patch.

The third sedan chair was carried by a country gentleman with Buddhist beads around his neck and a large green ring on his thumb.

Further on, there was a musical band and three kinds of sacrificial animals.

Among the tributes, in addition to the three animals of cattle, pigs, and sheep, there were also two beautiful girls. They were tied to a carriage, their mouths gagged, and were located in the middle of the three animal tributes.

This is the annual River God Festival in Yucheng.

The wizard built an altar and performed a ritual, then jumped into the water to fight the fish monster, but was defeated miserably and brought back the fish monster's three conditions.

Yucheng is open and low-lying, and is most vulnerable to flooding. About ten years ago, the water surface near Yucheng became very turbulent, with river levels often rising and falling sharply, and even dike breaches occurred several times.

As a result, Yucheng was flooded and the people suffered greatly.

Moreover, it occurs not during the rainy season of summer and autumn, but during the peach season in early spring.

The so-called peach flood refers to the rising water level caused by the warming weather in early spring and the melting of snow that has fallen over the winter.

Generally speaking, the momentum of peach flood is not as rapid as that of summer flood and autumn flood.

A fisherman once saw a huge silver carp monster in the river, which pierced the river bank with its tail.

And since then, more and more people have witnessed the silver carp monster, and the descriptions have become more and more vivid.

The people of Yucheng could not bear the harm, so they asked a wizard to exorcise the demon.

The wizard built an altar and performed a ritual, then jumped into the water to fight the fish monster, but was defeated miserably and brought back the fish monster's three conditions.

First, build a temple for him and worship him as a river god. Second, donate 20,000 taels of silver every year. Third, contribute two young girls to the annual peach festival.

The people were reluctant to agree at first, but they could not resist the fish monster's repeated breaking of the river bank. Under the persuasion of the gentry, they agreed to the fish monster's conditions.

Thus, there was the annual Taoxun River God Festival, praying to the river god not to bring disaster to Yucheng.

Soon, the sacrificial team arrived at the largest backwater bend near Yucheng.

The river here is wide and the water is the most turbulent. It is the designated location for the annual Yucheng River God Festival.

The wizard stood up, set up an altar, and performed a ritual. After chanting a series of incantations that no one could understand, he said in a loud voice: "The people of Yucheng offer the river god three animals, gold, silver, and women as an offering, praying for peace."

After saying this, a group of wizard disciples threw three animals and boxes of gold and silver into the water.

"Woooooo~~"

Seeing this, the two women's faces were filled with horror. They sobbed and cried, but because their mouths were blocked, they could not speak at all.
