Chapter 178: Boliu Jiangshuijun, the one who is courting death and causing trouble
"There's no need for a welcoming ceremony!"
Seeing the ghost in front of him actually presenting the invitation, Feng Qing'an's expression suddenly became quite subtle.
Although the places where ghosts and gods live are filled with auspicious air, peace and tranquility, the legal domains opened up by ghosts and gods are still generally gloomy and filled with living creatures. If it is not necessary, it is best not to set foot in the underworld.
"Here, I will take the message back from you..."
The ghost who came to deliver the invitation bowed and then prepared to leave. It was obvious that the young man in front of him was not to be provoked. If the other person didn't want to go, he couldn't force him to go. As for the adults' orders, if he didn't complete them, he could just scold them. It didn't matter. It wouldn't be his turn for promotion anyway.
"Wait a minute, how are you going to report this when you return?"
Feng Qingan opened his mouth to stop him, saying that it would be best not to offend the local boss unless necessary. He just subconsciously refused because he didn't want to go to a place like the underworld.
"Of course I will report it truthfully. Report every word that the young master said to my superiors without missing a word!"
The ghosts and gods said respectfully.
"Have I ever offended you before?"
Feng Qing'an's expression became even more subtle. If this sentence was passed back, God knew what the ghosts and gods in the underworld would think. Those guys were all officials when they were alive.
Now that he has become a real nobleman, he is annoyed by his subordinates trying to figure out his thoughts all day long. One sentence can be interpreted in nine different ways. He has some hidden meaning behind the collapse of the Black Mountain.
"This is only the first time I've met you, how can I offend you?"
The ghosts and gods were so frightened that their faces changed drastically, because the strong and vigorous barbarians beside this young man had already begun to sharpen their knives, waiting for the young man's order to reduce them to ashes.
"Then what you said makes me offend your superiors for no reason!"
Feng Qingan squinted his eyes and looked at the trembling ghost, not knowing whether he did it intentionally or not.
"Forget it, you can go back and tell them that I am tired from the journey and cannot move around. I need to rest for a day. I will set up a banquet in the mansion at noon tomorrow and invite the City God and all the officials to come together!"
"Yes, yes, I will definitely convey your meaning truthfully!"
The ghost trembled with fear, and when he saw that Feng Qingan had no intention of keeping him, he turned into a wisp of green smoke and flew away as if escaping.
"Sir, you want to entertain the gods and ghosts?!"
After seeing the ghosts leave, Butler Zhao looked troubled.
"Well, what's the problem?"
Feng Qing'an looked at the old warrior in front of him, whose complexion was much better than before. Some of his life force had been replenished.
"What kind of wine and meat should be prepared?"
Butler Zhao had a headache. Not to mention that he was over two hundred years old, but he had basically no contact with ghosts and gods. He followed the rules, and ghosts and gods would not come to his house for no reason. They had an instinctive aversion to each other and basically did not meet each other.
"Prepare now as you normally would!"
Feng Qing'an said without hesitation that what ghosts and gods need is naturally incense, but he has no incense here.
Not to mention that he doesn't know how to worship ghosts and gods, even if he did, would these ghosts and gods dare to accept it?
As for those warriors, there is no need to say more. If they really wanted to seek help from ghosts and gods, they would not be able to cultivate to their current level. Their greatest reliance is their own fists and the invincible spirit of martial arts.
"yes!"
As soon as the young master spoke, Butler Zhao had an idea in his mind. Everything would naturally be prepared according to the young master's usual food preferences. As for the group of ghosts and gods who might visit tomorrow, they could eat them if they wanted to, or not!
The next day, the ghosts and gods of Jinling Mansion came to visit as promised. None of them had any objection to the banquet that Butler Zhao prepared purely for the sake of living beings.
It was only after the banquet that Butler Zhao discovered that the food in front of the ghosts and gods had lost its flavor and texture, and tasted like mud and sand.
“So they can eat it!”
Butler Zhao, who had lived an ordinary life for several lifetimes, couldn't help but sigh after taking a bite of the tasteless pastry in his hand.
If it weren't for Young Master Feng, he would probably only come into contact with these ghosts and gods after his death. As for when he was alive, the ghosts and gods would not come to bother him.
"If someone shows kindness without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief! The ancients were right!"
However, Feng Qing'an didn't care about those little things at the moment. When he entered the city yesterday, the ghosts and gods of Jinling Prefecture wanted to invite him to a banquet in the underworld, but he declined. After being invited back, he happily came.
This is not because the ghosts and gods in this city feel that they are a threat or something. The ghosts and gods from all over Dajin will pass on information to each other. If they can stay in other cities and don't cause any trouble, they will generally not be refused when they go to the next city.
The reason why the local ghosts and gods are so diligent is because they have something to ask for, but it is not that they are in trouble, but that the neighboring house is in trouble and they are asked to convey it on their behalf.
As for why they asked him for help, it was because this matter had many twists and turns and was actually related to him, and he did have the possibility of solving it.
The neighboring prefecture of Jinling Prefecture is Nanshao Prefecture. The land in its territory is fertile, with hundreds of thousands of hectares of good farmland. It is one of the important grain-producing areas of the Jin Dynasty. The reason why it has so many good farmlands is entirely due to the river that runs through its territory.
Boliu River!
It is the Boliu River that is ruled by the elder brother of Hongxi, the Lord of the Bailang River!
Unlike the Bailang River controlled by Hongxi, the Bailang River flows through the mountains, and the only animals and birds in the mountains depend on this river for survival. However, the Boliu River, where it flows, has fertile land on both sides, directly or indirectly affecting the livelihoods of tens of millions of people.
To control the river that is closely related to the livelihood of the human race, one only needs to put in some thought and naturally there will be no worries about incense. Therefore, the position of Boliu Jiangshuijun has always been very stable.
However, the Lord of Water of Boliu River, who had always lived in peace with the people on both sides of the river and maintained a relatively peaceful state for the past hundreds of years, became a little abnormal after the absence of the Lord of Water of Cangjiang River.
But it was just not right, as he still performed his duties as the Lord of Water one by one, if the people on both sides of the strait had villages and towns praying for rain, he would also make it rain, although it seemed that he was following the rules, the grain production could not deceive people.
Although it was a year of good weather and good harvests, Nanshao Prefecture, one of the important grain-producing areas in Dajin, has seen a decline in grain production in recent years. This year's spring ploughing has begun for a long time, but the rain that has fallen is less than last year.
At first, the government of the Jin Dynasty thought that some officials were embezzling money and concealing or under-reporting grain production in order to gain personal benefits. However, after an investigation, it was discovered that the problem did not lie with the officials.
Of course there were officials who pursued personal gain, but they only dared to secretly conceal a small part of the output and absolutely did not dare to allow the grain production in Nanshao Prefecture to decrease by nearly 20%.
And because of the decrease in grain production, they didn't even dare to do these little tricks, for fear that they would be found out. But even so, they were still caught.
But the root of the problem did not lie with them, but with the fields. The abundant rainfall from the Boliu River was all intercepted by an invisible force. Although the water god also sent rain according to the needs of various places, the amount of rain was much less than in previous years.
Considering that Suicune's biological father died suddenly, it seems understandable that he behaved like this. After all, his own father was hacked to death by humans, so what's wrong with him getting a little angry at humans?
But the river he controls is too important to the human race. Even a little temper can affect millions of people.
Although the current grain output is quite considerable, if it continues like this, it will affect the government's granary reserves. Once a major disaster occurs somewhere, the government will not be able to provide enough grain for relief, and there will inevitably be a tragic scene of starving people everywhere.
The local officials were so anxious about the food problem that they even turned to the gods for help, but what could the gods do? They were powerless.
Powerful ghosts and gods can influence the celestial phenomena and force rainfall, but they cannot compete with a dragon-type water god for the power to control the clouds and rain. They simply cannot win.
Originally, both the officials of Nanshao Prefecture and the ghosts and gods had given up. After all, the reduction in grain production was still within the tolerable range and was not impossible. They could hold on by gritting their teeth.
However, after the City God of Anqing Prefecture reported the news that the Water God of Bailang River had been beheaded, the ghosts and gods of Nanshao Prefecture could not help but become suspicious. They indeed could not do anything to the Water God, but that did not mean that others could not do anything to the Water God.
Therefore, this group of ghosts and gods used their connections everywhere to invite the Second Young Master Feng to visit Nanshao Mansion. If possible, it would be best to meet with the Lord of Water, Boliu Jiang, to discuss the issue of rainfall.
A decrease in grain production can affect the foundation of the country and the livelihood of the people. If the grain that could originally feed ten people can only feed nine people, it does not mean that the ten people will no longer be hungry if the grain is distributed evenly. Instead, at least one person will go hungry and have no food to eat.
If there are unscrupulous businessmen who take advantage of the situation to cause chaos and seek profit, a human disaster will be imminent and a great famine will be brewing.
"Sir, are you going to Nanshao Mansion?"
Seeing Feng Qing'an sighing softly, Butler Zhao, who was serving at the Banquet of Ghosts and Gods and had satisfied a lot of his curiosity, asked.
Even for a warrior like him, mountain gods and water gods are just legends and too far away.
According to the description, the warriors in the Shendan realm who could go into the water to fight with a dragon and go up the mountain to subdue the tiger were also just rumors to him and he had never seen them.
"Well, rest today and set off tomorrow!"
Feng Qing'an made a decision. He didn't have any destination in the first place, so he just went wherever he wanted . Now that he had received a request from ghosts and gods, he naturally didn't mind going over to take a look. It wouldn't get in the way anyway.
"Sir, that's Yijiangshuijun!"
Butler Zhao couldn't help but remind him.
"It's just Suicune. It's not like I haven't killed one before. I've even tasted it myself!"
Feng Qing'an behaved calmly and calmly, and spoke lightly.
As soon as these words came out, the many warriors who followed him looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment. Butler Zhao also didn't say anything at this time, and looked at Feng Qing'an with eyes full of awe. Obviously, this young man also mastered powerful means that they didn't understand.
"Then I'll go down and arrange it!"
"Well, go ahead!"
Feng Qing'an didn't seem to care until his horse, with its hooves stepping on the snow, walked into the hall and its warm blue eyes reflected his figure.
"Sir, are you sure you can handle Boliujiangshuijun?"
"Not sure!"
Feng Qing'an raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows. Although they are both rivers, the Boliu River and the Bailang River are incomparable. The Bailang River is just a river that stretches for hundreds of miles and passes through the mountains, while the Boliu River stretches for thousands of miles, and there are countless incense offerings on both sides of the river.
Just by knowing this from the map, Feng Qing'an knew that compared with his brother, Boliu Jiangshuijun was not even worthy of carrying his shoes, and they were completely not on the same level.
"Then you still want to go?"
Sen Miao was a little confused. If Feng Qingan had a way to deal with Boliu Jiangshuijun, she would be willing to be his mount, and even if she had to travel a thousand miles a day, she would take him all the way to Nanshao Mansion.
"Let's wait and see. It's not like there's really no other way. If he goes too far, I might take this opportunity to kill him!"
Although he knew that the level of this Boliujiangshuijun was far beyond the limit of what he could currently handle, Feng Qingan still had more than one way to kill him, but the only difference was whether it was worth it and whether it could be used.
"If you want to slay Bo Liu Jiang Shui Jun, please bring Sen Miao with you!"
"Don't worry, if I really need you, I won't be polite to you!"
Feng Qing'an smiled. No matter whether Donghuang's true body came or he pulled out the sword that could kill gods and slay dragons, Sen Miao would be of no use. Of course, that was not the case.
"Thank you, sir!"
This Qilin beast did not hide its hostility towards the dragon clan at all. After all, this Boliujiangshuijun was from the same family as the enemy who killed her father. Even if he did not take direct action, he was still an important part of Hongxi's background.
Chant
After Sen Miao retreated, a slender golden-scaled dragon emerged from Feng Qing'an's sleeve, looked at Feng Qing'an, and uttered a low cry filled with joy.
The Sea-Suppressing Seal of the Nine Kings of the Wild Sea!
Ming Longjia has always been thinking about it. He has never forgotten it and now he has finally got the chance. Originally, his master had no intention of taking the initiative to confront the Water God, but now the ghosts and gods have come to him.
"Little glutton!"
Seeing the Minglongjia's obvious intention, Feng Qingan flicked its head in anger.
"Why do you want everything?"
Chant
"Okay, I got it. If there's a chance, I won't let you down. The divine weapon belongs to the virtuous. If the Water Lord loses his virtue, he will lose the divine weapon!"
As he spoke, Feng Qing'an glanced at the Minglong Armor.

The exchanges and battles with warriors had a huge impact on this little guy. Not only did it greatly increase its combat power, but it also increased its potential a little bit.
Not only did Minglongjia improve greatly, but Heishan and Baiyao, who had been following him for a long time, also changed a lot.
