After Master Lu's explanation, Chu Yu understood the story of Qingqiu County.

He said that the reason why this place could develop into such a large county was all thanks to Xuangong.

"Xuan Gong is our first county governor. He is a well-known good man from all over the country."

Xuangong led the people of Qingqiu County to build dams, control floods on the rivers, and benefit the whole place. He was a man of great merit and was worshiped by the local people after his death. Qingqiu County can also be regarded as a place with mountains and rivers and outstanding people.

Xuangong is also revered as the "Water Control God" by the local people, and Qingqiu County has never had any floods.

"The most common thing Xuangong said during his lifetime was the couplet hanging at the door of the temple, but the people changed the word "qiu" to the word "worship" to show the majesty of the temple."

"It's just that Duke Xuan likes new things, so we often repair the temple. Now it seems that he is tired of living in this house."

When Chu Yu recalled those ruins, he couldn't help but sigh that those were all good wood. It was a pity that they were broken into pieces and could only be used as firewood.

"Hey, but later, we actually had a drought." Mr. Lu sighed: "We are so close to the river bank. We actually had a drought in early spring this year. The drought came strangely. The river dried up almost overnight, so huge The dam cannot hold water..."

drought?

Chu Yu's heart almost jumped out of his chest as his suspicions were almost confirmed.

"The drought didn't last long, and within half a month, water came."

Mr. Lu's face was deeply wrinkled, but his eyes were still clear and his brows were furrowed, as if it was a very bad memory: "There is a flood."

"There was a lot of water, but our county guard was still there at the time, and the county guard was also a monk like a girl. He dispersed the water, so we were not affected much."

"But,"

Chu Yu continued what he said: "Later, your county guard disappeared."

Mr. Lu nodded lightly with a sad and sorrowful face, his eyes filled with tears, as if the painful memories were flooding back into his heart. That night was like a nightmare to him. Whenever he recalled it, a chill rose up his spine, making him tremble involuntarily.

Mr. Lu pointed to a magnificent mansion. The door of the mansion was ajar and creaked when the wind blew. There was no trace of life inside.

The plaque reads [County Sheriff's Mansion].

"That day, the young man who was on duty came to my house in a panic to look for me. He said he heard the shrill cry of a baby coming from the county magistrate's house!"

Speaking of this, Mr. Lu opened his eyes wide in horror: "As soon as he finished speaking, do you know what happened? I also heard the shrill cry. Everyone in the city heard it. It was so harsh and miserable that everyone was extremely scared. , it took half an hour for the crying to stop. We all rushed to the Sheriff’s Mansion, and then we found that it was gone, all gone! "

"Everyone is gone. There is blood all over the ground. The county guards, guards, and those guarding warriors are all gone. There was a heavy rain that night, and the water on the river came up again. From that day on, every time Before a flood occurs, rivers will dry up, and when a flood occurs..."

Mr. Lu’s grandson next to him looked about eleven or twelve years old. He interrupted: “When there is a flood, the water will freeze!”

freeze?

Chu Yu didn't expect this.

She thought about the appearance of a snake in Qingqiu County. After all, many of the characteristics matched it - its voice was like a scream, and it could see the floods of its towns.

The sounds of babies crying and floods after drought almost indicate that there are snakes here.

But freezing?

Mr. Lu then said: "When there is no flood, just like last night, there are some invisible evil things that will capture the people in the village."

In short, everything is strange, it all started from that drought.

"It's a pity that our county governor, Song Hao, is such a good man. He and I are close friends, but I don't have the ability to practice like you. I don't know what happened, and I don't have the ability to save them. There are people in the city. All the capable people disappeared together that day, what can we common people do?”

After saying that, he started to kneel down to Chu Yu again, but Chu Yu quickly stopped him.

"Don't worry, Mr. Lu, I will find the culprit of all this and help you get rid of it." Chu Yu said comforting words, and Mr. Lu was grateful.

Chu Yu looked up at the sun. The sun seemed to have no temperature on his face, and it was as cold as the wind blowing on his face.

Thinking that the huge Burning Sun Talisman last night consumed too much of her energy, Chu Yu wondered what was the difference between Mu Ye's set of mysterious methods and hers?

Except for Mu Ye, she seemed to have never encountered the power of light attribute before.

Chu Yu tried several times, but to no avail.

Forget it, if you can purify the light attribute spiritual power casually, will it be Mu Ye's turn to become the master's disciple?

Chu Yu naturally wanted to quickly find the source of the baby's crying, but although the evil things that appeared at night were not strong, they were numerous and it took a lot of energy to drive them away.

I have no skills, Chu Yu lamented.

Her little spirit king is too weak.

Why don't you call Xiao Yuan out?

"It's not good, Mr. Lu!" Someone came to report in a panic.

"Jiang, the water of the river has dropped again!"

"Did you read that correctly?" Mr. Lu asked hurriedly.

"It has dropped half a foot..." The voice of the person who came to report could be heard trembling.

Chu Yu grabbed the man and said, "How many entrances do you have to the city?"

"Including three locations in the east, west, north and south, and other scattered drainage outlets, there are a total of thirty-one locations."

"take me."

"it is good."

Chu Yu explained again: "Master Lu, please tell the people in the city to collect enough water. I want to seal the city."

"Okay, okay, we can still do this." Mr. Lu said quickly.

Chu Yu blocked water-proof talismans in all places that could cause the river to flow back. When she blocked the south gate, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind her:

"What are you doing? Why is the city closed?"

When Chu Yu turned around, he was surprised to find that it was a group of "old acquaintances".

Minglan Sect!

Su Luan recognized Chu Yu at a glance and opened his mouth in surprise: "Senior Brother Song Yi, look, it's her!"

The entire Minglan Sect felt like they were facing a formidable enemy, and Su Luan even subconsciously protected the storage bag around his waist: "You, why are you following us here? You don't want to steal the Water Moon Stone again!"

Chu Yu was helpless: "Girl, if I really wanted to rob it, I would have robbed it with you last night. And didn't your actions clearly tell others that the Water Moon Stone is in your storage bag?"

Su Luan tilted her head and thought for a while, she was right!

Then she pursed her lips and put her hands down from her waist.

The people from Qingqiu County around Chu Yu were sharp-eyed. They were very excited when they saw the people from Minglan Sect, especially Song Yi.

"Master Yi! Master Yi, it's great that you are back!"

The young man who had just led Chu Yu ran towards Song Yi excitedly. He couldn't help but burst into tears as he held Song Yi's hand.

Song Yi looked at him and thought he was crying with joy after not seeing him for a long time, with a smile on his face as if he was reminiscing with an old friend. But Chu Yu thought of Master Lu's words that the missing county guard was named Song Hao, and he had a vague idea in his mind.

It seems that the people of Minglan Sect know nothing about everything, and I am afraid that they will find it difficult to accept the news.
