September is full of flowers

Seeing that Shen Man ran away, Xiaoxin hurriedly followed with her skirt.Chasing all the way to a river, there is a painting boat on the river, but it floats lightly on the river, as if there is no one there.

Shen Man stood by the river, staring at the painting boat.

Could she be on this boat?

Xiaoxin gasped for breath and was about to speak, but she heard a woman's exasperated cry from behind, approaching from far away.

"Stop! Do you hear me, stop!"

Shen Man also heard it, and at the same time as Xiao Xin looked back, they saw a woman in red running from the other side of the alley angrily, holding a gleaming kitchen knife in her hand.With an oval face and slender eyebrows, she looks very pretty and pleasant, but she holds a kitchen knife like a female general who goes to the battlefield to kill the enemy.

Shen Man and Xiao Xin were dumbfounded.

"Cuckoo-"

A dark mass suddenly spread its wings and flew in front of Shen Man, and threw itself on Shen Man's face. Shen Man only smelled a foul smell, and then was fanned back all the way by the wings of this thing.

"Where did you get a chicken?!" Shen Man yelled and was forced to back up.

"Girl, be careful! Behind is the river!" Xiaoxin screamed.

Shen Man tried his best to keep his feet steady, but the black-feathered chicken was running for its life, as if it had a divine power, and it forced Shen Man, a living man, to retreat all the way.

Shen Man's eyes darkened, he grabbed one of the chicken's wings indiscriminately, and then tore it away.Looking at the pair of mung bean eyes of the chicken, the chicken looks very innocent.Shen Man just stopped on the shore and let out a long breath.

Luckily it didn't fall into the water...

"That little thief in front, let go of my chicken!"

Hearing this angry voice, Shen Man trembled all over, grabbed the chicken with both hands and looked over there, barely connecting the voice with the beautiful woman holding the kitchen knife, before he could react, he saw that Jia angrily ran towards her.

Shen Man held the chicken with his left hand, and waved at the woman with his right hand, signaling her not to rush over again, but who knew that the woman didn't even care about it, and rushed forward recklessly all the way, as if seeing some opportunity .

Shen Man was extremely helpless, and secretly said: Bad luck!Then he felt an impulsive force from the front, and he was thrown back into the river behind.

"Miss Shen!" Xiaoxin covered her eyes and dared not look.

But after listening to "plop, plop", there was the sound of two people and a chicken falling into the water one after another.Then, a woman who did not belong to Shen Man was heard screaming for help: "Help, I can't water! Help! There is still a chicken here!"

Even at this time, this person still does not forget her black feather chicken.

Shen Man knew some water at least, and knew that those who survived were the most dangerous.So he went around from behind, strangled the woman's neck and pulled the water, and brought the beautiful woman to the bank.

"Are you okay?" Shen Man went ashore, regardless of his wet body, he asked the pale beauty first.The red dress worn by the beauty was ironed on her body, outlining her voluptuous body curves, which should be convex or concave.The hair was stuck to the face, and a pair of misty eyes gradually gathered the spirit just now.

Then his eyes sharpened, he pointed the kitchen knife in his hand, pointed at Shen Man and asked viciously, "Why didn't you save my chicken?!"

Shen Man really couldn't laugh or cry, first he met a man dressed as a woman, and then he met a beautiful woman who treats chickens like her life, what happened in this world?Could it be that the strange things happening in this city will also lead to a series of strange and bad atmosphere?

"I can only save one, do you want me to save you or your chicken?"

The woman was stunned for a moment, then slightly raised her eyebrows, and said with great interest, "What's your name?"

"Sink full, three points of water sink, three points of water are full."

"Are you short of water in the five elements?" The woman seemed to have no intention of asking, but it made Shen Man feel a little strange.The woman continued, "Those who lack water, you owe me a litter of chickens."

"I owe you?" Shen Man pointed to his nose, "A litter of chickens?"

"Well," the woman stood up, pulled her clothes, frowned her pretty brows, walked a few steps, turned her head and said to Shen Man, "Now everyone can't go out, I'm not afraid of you running away. At noon tomorrow, you I'll send ten identical black feather chickens, otherwise I'll make a fuss, I'm not afraid of losing face, but I'm afraid you will lose face. My surname is Ya, and if you ask someone about Ya's house, you will know where I live."

Shen Man shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm a foreigner, and when I'm away from home, I lose face if I don't have face. You're a big girl, why are you so shameless?"

The man said: "What do you know..." Then he raised his head and walked away generously.Shen Man and Xiao Xin were left looking at each other.

Shen Man asked, "What's going on?"

Xiaoxin muttered, "That girl must have regarded you as a son-in-law."

"what?"

"The monsters in the city only catch men, and those who die are also men. There are still many girls in the city who have not left the court. Many of them are engaged to be married but their future husbands died. Therefore, they are a little anxious to catch men... I think girl——" Xiaoxin paused, blushing, and said, "It's probably because someone else has taken a fancy to you."

After hearing this, Shen Man slapped his forehead in annoyance and said, "Could it be that you want me to bring a chicken to propose marriage?"

In the clear river, the painted boat swayed slightly, and a shadow inside was sitting quietly.She rested with her eyes closed, and only the breeze dared to brush the tips of her hair.Through the gap in the window of the painting boat, she was able to see the scene just now. She never thought that she would meet Shen Man here. Didn't she tell her not to travel far? Why did she come here...

wow...

A burst of bubbles suddenly appeared in the river, startling the woman in the boat.The woman suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes were extremely sharp, staring at the place where the bubble came out.

Could it be—

The woman looked awe-inspiring, she flew out of the boat with one foot, and landed on the water like a leaf, her figure was like flowing clouds and flowing water, handsome and beautiful.

Looking down, I saw that the bubbles were getting denser and denser, and the things at the bottom of the water were about to emerge from the water.

The woman waited in full force, and when she saw the target and was about to make a move, she saw a small, bald head popping out suddenly. A pair of mung bean-sized eyeballs were turning towards her, and the black crown on top of her head was still dripping with water. beads.

This is the black-feathered chicken that the woman chased and killed just now.

Her toes were a little more, and she returned to the boat again, without a drop of water on her body, and returned to the silent practice.

At night, Chenzhou City at night is really different from that in daytime.The wind is blowing, it seems that all the flowers, plants and trees have lost their color overnight, and there is darkness everywhere.Even the magistrate's mansion did not dare to light the lights rashly.

Chen Zhi hid in the cellar with a group of men.

Ning Tao casually took out a luminous pearl, and the magistrate Chen Zhi exclaimed, "Could it be the Beihai luminous pearl that the emperor bestowed on the prime minister?"

Ning Tao appreciated his knowledge, put his shoulders on his shoulders and said generously, "It's exactly this thing. If Mr. Chen likes it, I'll give it to you."

Chen Zhi hurriedly said, "This is not acceptable, the lower officials dare not."

Ning Tao was bored, so he played with it casually.

Chen Zhi occasionally looked outside, as if he was worried about something.

The people in the room can only see who is who by the cold light of the night pearl. If an open flame is lit, it will only make the monster find them faster.At night, Chenzhou City is a huge Shura field, the monster is that Shura, and if he finds a man, he will kill that man.The only thing the man can do is to find a hidden place to hide and spend the night tremblingly.

And the woman is not much better, if the man is hiding, the monster will come to the door and it will startle the woman, at the slightest, she will lose her mind, and at the worst, she will be frightened out of her wits and die on the spot.

Ning Xu frowned and said, "Master Chen, how many men are left in the city, have you ever counted the number?"

Chen Zhidao, "Originally there were more than [-] strong men in the city, but now there are less than [-] left... There are only a dozen or so people left in my prefect's mansion."

Ning Xu's face darkened.Originally there were more than 2000 people, that is to say, the monster has already killed [-] people...

Now trapped in the city, people outside can't know what's going on inside, even if the Yin Yang Prison doesn't come so fast, how can I protect myself and others when I'm here?

Ning Xu pondered for a while, and then asked, "Master Chen, is there anyone in the city who studies Yin-Yang Dao?"

Chen Zhi replied, "There are a few of them, but they are all hiding, so I'm afraid we won't be able to find them so quickly."

Hearing this, Ning Xu couldn't help but be disappointed. He learned a thaumaturgy to calculate the direction of disasters from "Determining the Heavens", but unfortunately, his qualifications are still young and he doesn't have magic tools to help him. People who practice Yin-Yang Dao may still have a chance.

Because if you use this thaumaturgy, you may be able to find out the crux of the matter, and catch it when it is weakest during the day.

This monster did not dare to come out during the day, so it should be afraid of the yang qi, and the yang qi is at its strongest in the afternoon, so if he gathers the strength of everyone, he does not believe that he cannot subdue it.

But now this technique cannot be implemented, which is the crux of the problem. For a while, even Ning Xu has nothing to do.

Ning Tao said, "Whatever monster it is, as long as we plan to lure the snake out of the hole, and when it comes out, all of us will rush forward, and we will definitely catch him by surprise."

"It's not that the lower officials haven't thought of this method, but the monster is so powerful, more than a hundred of us went to get it, and more than a hundred of them broke it, and there was no return." Chen Zhi seemed to recall the tragedy of that night, sad face. "On the second day, the dead trees were covered with corpses, and the blood on the ground flowed into rivers, which merged into streams and flowed into the ancient well that was level with the ground..."

"You can see clearly, is that really a monster?" Ning Tao asked.

Chen Zhidao, "If it wasn't for a monster, how could it be possible to kill so many people overnight?"

Ning Tao fell silent.

He has never believed that there are monsters in the world, but after listening to Chen Zhi's description, he actually believes a little bit in his heart.Just now I remembered my terrible situation now, if I am not careful, both myself and my elder brother may become dead souls in the hands of this monster.

"Big brother..."

Ning Xu patted his brother on the shoulder and said calmly, "Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you." He walked out of the room and came to the courtyard.Looking up at the stars, God didn't show much face today, and there were layers of overcast clouds covering most of the night sky.

Although there are yin and yang ways in the world, there are no monsters. The so-called "monsters" are "monsters" because they have extraordinary abilities. The person of art.

Ning Xu silently recited the record about "Seven Luminaries and Three Lights, Stars Divide Years" in "Ding Tian Lun" in his heart, and wanted to calculate the position of the monster by himself, and then destroy the monster in one fell swoop when it was weakest in the daytime.

"Master Chen, please prepare a stick of fresh incense and a basin of clear water, and a mat to spread in the outer courtyard." Ning Xu ordered, "Brother Tao, you stay here and don't let the stick of incense burn out before it burns out." People bother me."

"Yes." Chen Zhi immediately ordered someone to prepare.

Ning Tao also knew that this was not the time to mess around, so he obediently stood by the side with folded arms.

Chen Zhi quickly prepared his things and took a bench for Ning Tao to sit on.Ning Xu sat cross-legged on the mat spread in the middle of the yard, watching the movement of the astrolabe through the clear water.

After half a stick of incense passed, Ning Xu remained motionless and maintained his original posture, and Ning Tao yawned.

After a stick of incense passed, Ning Xu still had no intention of getting up, and his brows became tighter and tighter.Ning Tao was already snoring softly.

At this time, Shen Man passed by back home and saw them, and while slowing down his steps, he observed Ning Xu's expression and posture.

She has heard that when practicing Yin and Yang, one should be calm and burn a stick of incense to help get rid of distracting thoughts.But hearing and seeing are different, just like now, when she looked at Ning Xu who was concentrating on calculating, and saw the thin beads of sweat on his forehead, she felt that the way of yin and yang was really unfathomable.

For example, at this time, if one could really figure out where the evil monster was hiding, it would be equivalent to saving everyone's life.

At this time, Shen Man was also a little fascinated by the book called "Determinism".
