Chapter 49: This River God's Giant Pit
In the past few days, Li Si has also met many great cultivators above the fourth level, such as Black Dragon, Wei Zheng, Sun Xiaoman, Liu Bowen, and River God. However, he always felt that none of these people were normal.
I won't say much about Black Dragon; he's completely out of his mind and starts killing people at the drop of a hat.
Wei Zheng wasn't quite normal either. Li Si originally thought that this old scoundrel was just a little thick-skinned and shameless, but it wasn't until the moment Hei Long died that he discovered that Wei Zheng actually had a masochistic tendency.
Especially the heartfelt conversation between Wei Zheng and the Black Dragon at the end, with lines like "I'll be waiting for you in the next life," gave Li Si goosebumps.
But Wei Zheng, that old scoundrel, actually acted as if he wanted to refuse but didn't, and even seemed a little resentful, which really startled Li Si.
No wonder this old scoundrel has lived for nearly fifty years without getting married; it turns out he's interested in Black Dragon!
Heilong's attitude towards Wei Zheng was quite hostile, which led to their relationship remaining distant and ambiguous.
To summarize their relationship in two sentences, for Heilong it would be something like, "He was oblivious to everything else and only wanted to kill Wei Zheng."
For Wei Zheng, it was a case of "The black dragon has tormented me a thousand times, yet I still love the black dragon as if it were my first love."
How utterly perverse!
Sun Xiaoman didn't need to say much; Li Si still couldn't equate the identities of Sister Monkey and Brother Monkey in his mind.
Monkey Sister and all that, it's just so morally reprehensible, isn't it?!
Well, there's a certain charm to it...
Liu Bowen seems to be the most normal one among them, but once you hear about what he did back then, all the cultivators in the world would want to jump out and kill him!
As for the River God, well, that guy is the most abnormal one!
Let's rewind to an hour earlier...
Fu Jiu's consciousness communicated with the system in his mind, a hint of anticipation in his eyes, and he slowly uttered two words.
"call!!"
A flash of golden light appeared, and a hazy golden figure materialized out of thin air. The person seemed not to have reacted yet, still muttering incantations.
"Hardworking fisherman, did you catch this golden tuna, this silver tuna, or this ordinary tuna...? Huh? Where am I?"
The River God blinked, his eyes somewhat confused, until a ray of white light shot into his consciousness from the system. He then slapped his forehead, as if he had remembered something.
"Oh, so it's the Bureau of Myths and Gods. I've been waiting for so long, why is it only my turn now?" The River God said with a hint of resentment.
Staying in the mortal realm was too boring. He seemed to have heard a voice tell him that it could take him to an interesting place, and he agreed without thinking.
To the River God's surprise, the system made him wait in line, saying it wasn't his turn yet. Damn it, he could only continue drifting with a resentful look on his face until today when Fu Jiu summoned him.
"River God Bai Luo has come to pay his respects to the Director!!"
Fu Jiu was taken aback. In ancient mythology, weren't those who controlled rivers called He Bo? Could there be an official position called River God in the heavens?
"River God?"
"Yes." The river god squinted and nodded.
Liu Bowen looked at Fu Jiu with a slightly questioning gaze, wanting to hear an explanation. As a capable minister who was the founder of the Ming Dynasty, he lived more than 600 years ago, so it was understandable that he did not know the legend of the River God.
Although the system instilled a certain amount of modern knowledge into the summoned members, it was only the most basic, limited to making it easier for them to integrate into this world.
Some obscure knowledge, like folk tales, cannot be fully absorbed by the bureau staff. After all, cramming too much knowledge at once would be detrimental to their mental well-being, and would be counterproductive.
Fu Jiu understood, closed his eyes, and began to delve into the system to check the information about the River God.
You wouldn't know unless you checked, and when you did, Fu Jiu was immediately stunned.
It's him! !
Li Si was quite quick-witted. When he first heard the words the river god recited upon appearing, he was reminded of a story he often heard as a child.
But when did the woodcutter become a fisherman? And the gold and silver axes turned into two tuna?
So Li Si raised an eyebrow and asked, "The River God? The one with the gold and silver axes?"
River God Bai Luo was a little embarrassed after hearing this, and scratched the back of his head, saying, "So you know me? You were talking about the axe on that lazy woodcutter, right?"
"Isn't he a hardworking woodcutter?" Li Si was also puzzled. Why was the story of this woodcutter different from the ones he had heard before?
"Diligent?" The river god sighed.
“I gave the two axes to the woodcutter, but he sold them right away and became a rich man with a lot of money. He was served by people all day long, and eventually became lazier and lazier. He couldn’t even lift the axes anymore. After he spent all his money, he starved to death.”
Li Si: "..."
This story is definitely different from what I heard!
"It's not your fault," Bai Qi said, offering words of comfort and also greeting the River God.
"Really?" River God Bai Luo was somewhat moved. He wished that the inhabitants of the original world could understand him like Bai Qi did.
He only wanted to reward honest people, but he inadvertently cheated the woodcutter, the fisherman, the boatman, the hunter, the carpenter...
Well, thinking about it, there are quite a few people he has rewarded, but it seems that none of them have had a good ending.
The hunter obtained a bow and arrows made of gold and went to sell them, but he was robbed on the way. In grief and anger, he committed suicide.
The carpenter was reluctant to use the golden saw after obtaining it, but was eventually discovered by his neighbor, who reported him to the authorities for theft. He was not only beaten several dozen times, but his property was also confiscated.
There were also merchants, scholars, boatmen...
Ah, there are so many coincidences in the world. Mr. River God attributed all of this to those people's bad luck, without realizing it himself.
Fu Jiu transmitted the general history of the River God to Li Si, Bai Qi, and Liu Bowen through the system. After reading it, the three of them remained silent, and a thought arose in their minds at the same time.
This river god... he's a bit of a liar!
Because the river god's origins are illegitimate, his divine position is not recognized by the gods of this world. Therefore, anyone who possesses anything blessed by his divine power will be cursed by fate.
Fortunately, this world is not the one he comes from, and the laws are different. After the system was modified, the River God's abilities also changed. Otherwise, Fu Jiu would not have dared to use such a "dangerous" person so easily.
The people chosen to go to the Black Dragon Society's lair this time are River God and Li Si. Although River God Bai Luo is not strong in direct combat, he is still a fourth-level fighter. He can easily defeat three or five third-level fighters, let alone the remnants of the Black Dragon Society who are left with only a few members.
However, there are always unexpected things in this world. When Li Si arrived, the White Shark Gang had already taken the lead and started fighting with the Black Dragon Society.
Li Si applauded the White Shark Gang's friendly assistance, wishing that both sides would perish together.
Of course, this is obviously impossible. The Black Dragon Society has already suffered heavy losses and is likely to be wiped out by the White Shark Gang.
However, it wouldn't be a bad thing if these people could delay White Shark and the others before they died, giving them some time to search for the treasure.
Coming to his senses, Li Si quickly slipped into the Black Dragon Society's treasury.
Spirit stones were the first thing that caught Li Si's eye upon entering the treasure vault; their crystalline brilliance almost blinded him.
Li Si curled his lips. Although he was somewhat tempted, he knew that what was on display were just ordinary items, while some precious treasures could be worth hundreds or even thousands of spirit stones each.
Just as Li Si was earnestly searching for the treasure, a gust of wind came from behind.
Li Si was startled and instantly drew the Dragon Horn Sword from his waist, blocking it with a backhand.
Upon seeing the attire of the person who attacked, Li Si raised an eyebrow.
"One-eyed?"
