Chapter 20 The Mysterious Targeting of A-Yue
"I will obey the divine decree."
Lady Shenyuan respectfully knelt before Muyuan, then rose and waved her hand. The two yakshas were swept away by the water and turned into white light, disappearing into the river.
Watching her figure sink into the depths, Mu Yuan made a rough judgment about the strange strength of the Calamity-level.
Calamity level, indeed powerful.
To them, the Yaksha was no different from an insect.
With the current strength of the water soldiers, they can handle monsters below the intermediate level, but when facing high-level monsters, these few water soldiers alone are far from enough.
To truly bolster the combat power of the aquatic team, we need the Water Ghost General.
However, recruiting the water ghost requires a thousand incense points, which is still a bit too much for him at the moment. But everything is difficult at the beginning, and the river god temple has just been built, so it is normal to be poor in incense points.
Things will get better later! The most important thing is that I've already made contact with the Bureau of Anomalies. I'll help them solve some of the strange occurrences and get them to build the River God Temple.
Establishing official power would be much easier.
Looking up, I realized it was already night.
A light rain fell, hitting the river surface and creating ripples.
Mu Yuan emerged from the center of the river, materialized into a human form, and slowly walked across the water to the shore.
Bathed in the glow of the streetlights, the River God Temple appeared exceptionally tranquil.
He entered the temple and his gaze fell on the stone tablet.
The carvings on the stone tablet have quietly changed under the daily nourishment of incense offerings during this period.
The originally blurry outline is gradually becoming clearer, and the basic features of the face are faintly visible, as if they have grown out of the stone on their own.
If things continue like this, it won't be long before his true face appears on this stone tablet.
"It's time to go see my temple keeper." Mu Yuan's lips curled up slightly as he prepared to enter the dream with his divine power.
His brows suddenly furrowed.
He sensed something.
His face darkened.
"How dare you." The voice was calm, yet carried a hint of coldness. "Knowing this is my territory, you still dare to act so presumptuously."
No sooner had he finished speaking than he transformed into a stream of water, appearing in a tributary of the old city in the next instant.
This tributary is where he first merged with the stream spirit in this world, and it's also where he saved the mother and daughter from the vengeful spirits.
The divine power spread out, and the vision penetrated through layers of brick walls, finally settling on a room with a dim light.
There was a family of four inside the house.
An elderly man, a couple, and a child.
He knew that child.
Ah Yue.
The younger daughter from that mother and daughter pair.
At this moment, the little girl was fast asleep, her brows furrowed and a hint of fear on her face.
Beside her, a black figure covered in tentacles was silently approaching.
[Intermediate Mystery: Mountain Ghost]
[Danger Level: Low]
[Ability: Fear Release - Shadow]
Mu Yuan did not pause.
The next second, he appeared in front of the mountain spirit, grabbed its tentacles, and used his divine power to crush them into pieces.
The vengeful spirit was startled, and after realizing what was happening, it lunged at Mu Yuan with its gaping maw.
[Suppress evil spirits and exorcise demons]
A majestic voice came from Mu Yuan's mouth.
A dazzling golden light burst forth, landing on the vengeful spirit in the mountains, like an invisible fire, burning its body inch by inch.
The vengeful spirit let out a mournful scream.
"You stinking Taoist! You've ruined my plans! You just wait, I won't let you get away with this!" An old voice burst from its mouth, and then its entire body was burned to ashes under the erosion of golden light, leaving not even a trace.
[Slaying a controlled vengeful spirit: Merit +200]
Driven by.
Mu Yuan stared at the ashes, his gaze darkening slightly.
Therefore, the lingering yin energy on the little girl's body did not seem to be a trace left by a strange encounter from the beginning, but rather a mark left by someone deliberately.
That aged voice was not the voice of the vengeful spirit from the mountains.
Someone is manipulating it.
Mu Yuan lowered his head, his fingers, radiating golden light, gently stroking A Yue's forehead.
The little girl's tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed, her face, which had been filled with fear, gradually calmed down, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.
[Blessing]
A wisp of divine power landed on her silently.
Free from all diseases, with a clear mind and spirit.
Now that he had become the water god of this area, it was his duty to protect the safety of the people.
This concerns the merit points he earns daily. If anyone under his jurisdiction is harmed by something strange, those 500-plus points of daily merit will be lost.
Moreover, this is the second time.
The person who can command a mid-level supernatural being and target this little girl is no ordinary person. Killing him might bring a lot of merit!
Mu Yuan straightened up, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.
When you come back, don't even think about getting away unscathed.
However, the most important thing right now is to increase the number of sailors patrolling and prevent this from happening again.
He made a mental note of it, then sank into the current and headed to another location.
……
Meanwhile, at the other end of the old town, there are residences.
Old Liu has already gone to sleep.
The elderly man, who is over eighty years old, usually has a very regular daily routine, but today is an exception—the matter of the River God Temple has kept him busy until this hour, which is really not easy for him.
The only thing that kept him preoccupied was that unresolved issue.
The river god temple has been built, and some people say they saw the stone tablet glowing, saying that the river god was manifesting his power.
Is this story true or false?
He closed his eyes and silently recited the mantra in his mind.
I hope the river god is real.
I hope the water in the old town will remain clear forever.
Before this thought had even faded, a faint golden light suddenly appeared on Old Liu's forehead.
In his dream, Old Liu looked around blankly.
The endless river water enveloped him completely.
"Where am I? How did I end up in the water?" He instinctively tried to struggle, but found that although the river water submerged his mouth and nose, it did not hinder his breathing, and it felt no different from being on land.
He paused for a moment, then curiously reached out and gently touched the water beside him.
It's cool, but not cold.
"Liu Sanping".
A majestic voice resounded from all directions.
Old Liu was stunned.
"Who? Who's calling me?"
He turned his head and looked around; there was only flowing river water all around, and no one else was there.
Just as he was looking around blankly, the river in front of him suddenly began to surge.
As the water converged and the light gathered, a giant, hundreds of meters tall and radiating golden light, slowly emerged from the river.
"The river god has appeared! The river god has appeared!" After seeing the giant formed by the water flow in front of him, the words "water god" were the only words that came to Liu Sanping's mind.
Overwhelmed with emotion, he immediately knelt down, muttering to himself repeatedly.
