Liaozhai Great Sage

When I opened it, there were six shining golden command arrows inside.

"To get rid of evil, we need to get rid of everything, just in case I'm afraid I'll have to bother you Thunder Gods again." He took all the six Thunder God Orders and carried them with him, not because he was afraid of how powerful the ghosts and gods were coming, but because It was because of the lack of manpower that those ghosts and gods would run away.

At the same time, Li Xiuyuan also changed out of the brocade robe, put on the armor, put on the cloak, and hung the Tai'a sword on his waist.

Since there is a high possibility that the ghost foreman will fight, there is no reason not to be more prepared.

Less than an hour later.

Two dark clouds floated over the capital.

It seemed strange that two dark clouds suddenly appeared in the clear sky, which attracted the attention of some ghosts in the capital.

"Two thousand-year-old monsters have entered the capital..."

"Is it a big monster from the south? There are a lot of big monsters who have entered the capital in the south during this period of time. Is there another disturbance in the capital?"

"There was movement on the side of the canal last night, and there was a ghostly atmosphere. Could it be that the ghost foreman is planning something again recently?"

Churches, Taoist temples, temples and other places are full of hopeful people.

Although they were paying attention, they did not stop it.

The forces in the capital are always in a delicate balance. Although there are frictions between everyone, in the end it is still the same.

Suddenly two thousand-year-old monsters entered the capital, who would be idle to offend them?

The two dark clouds did not go deep into the capital, and disappeared without a trace when they drifted to the south of the city.

At this moment, someone in the Shunfeng Escort Bureau in the capital suddenly knocked on the door.

The head of the bodyguard, who had healed better, opened the door listlessly, only to see an old man with extraordinary bearing and a child about twelve or thirteen standing outside the door. They all have abnormal temperament, which makes people quite noticeable. .

"Are you two escorts? I'm so sorry, the escort agency is closed today, and it's no longer accepting business, ahem." The escort coughed weakly.

The Eight Great Kings smiled and patted him on the back: "You are very sick, are you okay?"

The head of the dart was hit by this, and the cough suddenly became worse, but he spit out a foul-smelling thick phlegm, and then he felt refreshed, his limbs gradually regained strength, and the sudden illness that had troubled him for a long time seemed to have been cured. .

Yang Zijiang Wang said: "We are under Mr. Li's command. We have received orders from Han Meng to come to visit Mr. Li."

"So it's my family, hurry up, please come in, the young master is waiting for you two in the lobby." The escort said happily.

"Thank you." The Eight Great Kings saluted.

When the two came to the lobby, they saw Li Xiuyuan wearing armor, with a sword on his waist, standing with his hands behind his back, looking here.

There was a faint smell of water in the lobby.

Although the ghost aura here has been washed away by the aura of the saint, the traces of the water ghost's troubles are still there.

"The sage has a murderous aura, which ghosts and spirits in the capital are going to be unlucky?" The Eighth King and King Yangzijiang trembled in their hearts. Li Xiuyuan had only seen such a posture in Jinling City last time.

It was fighting against the King of Nine Mountains and all the ghosts and gods under Dongyue's command.

"I've met Mr. Li." The two saluted respectfully.

Li Xiuyuan stretched out his hand and said, "Please sit down, both of you."

The Eight Great Kings and the Yangzijiang King looked at each other, and sat down with some trepidation in their hearts.

As soon as he sat down, Li Xiuyuan immediately said, "I'm going to make a long story short, so as not to waste time, today I'm going to kill an evil ghost. You should know a little bit about it. It's the famous water ghost, called Ghost Foreman."

really.

Their hearts sank, but they were not surprised by this result.

When a sage is angry, there must be ghosts and gods, and ordinary demons and goblins are not worthy of this sage's anger. Only a giant will be valued by him so much.

"I've already prepared the rough layout. If I'm not mistaken, there must be the ghost foreman's lair under the canal in the capital. Although I'm not sure whether the ghost foreman is there, the ghosts and gods under his command must be hiding there. I want you to cut off the water in the upper reaches of the canal at a certain time, so that the bottom of the river will be exposed, and then I will wipe out the evil spirits in the water in one fell swoop."

Li Xiuyuan looked at them and said, "You are all water gods, can you cut off the canal?"

The Eight Great Kings thought carefully for a while before saying: "Back to Mr. Li, with our way of doing things, we can cut off the upstream water for at most half an hour. If it takes longer, it will easily cause the river to flood, and there is no guarantee that it will not cause harm to other places."

The Yangzijiang King also nodded and said, "Half an hour is the maximum time limit that can be controlled. After all, cutting off the river will bring many effects. It can't be cut off for too long, otherwise the upstream will skyrocket, and the downstream will also suddenly flood, which is prone to flooding. .”

"I can still vividly remember the flooding of Guobei City. How can you cause floods? Since you can guarantee that you will not be affected for half an hour, then I will give you half an hour. Now you can prepare. When the time comes I will tell you when to start casting spells to cut off the flow of the canal in the capital." Li Xiuyuan said.

What the water ghost relies on is that it is easy to hide in the water and it is difficult to deal with.

I remember that it was the same when Lei Gong was invited to kill demons in Dahu Village. If a man-eating black fish hid in the bottom of the lake, even Lei Gong would have to work hard to kill it.

But without the protection of the river, how could those ghosts in the water jump around?

Chapter 6 Seventy

In the afternoon, everything that was ordered before was ready.

The Eight Great Kings and King Yangzijiang went to the upper reaches of the canal in the capital, and followed his orders to cut off the water in the canal at any time. Han Meng also returned to the Escort. Sha Jin was carrying a big basket full of altars cut out of yellow paper. Sacrificial offerings, joss sticks, and so on.

But Wu Xiang had already woken up, he just sat on the steps beside him and ate and drank with a piece of roast leg of lamb. The matter of the water ghost didn't affect him at all.

"Han Meng, take all the escort heads and soldiers in the escort agency and send them to the backyard to rest temporarily. Without my order, you are not allowed to go out of the backyard for half a step." Li Xiuyuan looked at the sky and said immediately: "If someone doesn't listen If you are advised, you can take it directly."

"Yes, young master." Han Meng clasped his fists in response, and immediately got busy.

"Shajin, bring a few people to spread the things you bought in the yard, put a sacrifice on each altar table, and get dozens of torches for later use after you're done," Li Xiuyuan said.

"Yes, Master."

Sha Jin responded, and immediately took a few escort leaders who had recovered from illness and started to do things according to the orders.

After everything is arranged properly.

Li Xiuyuan moved a chair by himself and sat outside the lobby alone. He was wearing armor, with a sword across his thighs, holding the sword with both hands, and resting his eyes with his eyes closed.

Time passed little by little.

From morning to afternoon to evening.

Watching the setting sun set little by little, the sky gradually darkened, and the cool night breeze began to rise.

At this moment, near the canal pier in the capital.

The cargo ships here have stopped transporting goods, and Lifu on the pier has gone home to rest. Except for some shopkeepers who are still busy, the cashier is counting the goods. If it is to keep accounts and receive them, there are only pedestrians who pass by here by chance.

Ordinary people in the capital also follow the living habit of working at sunrise and resting at sunset.
