Weicheng snow

Under the tall city gate, a group of red-clothed policemen approached Master Liu and the county magistrate, Zhilin Zhifeng held umbrellas for the two of them, and the rest of the policemen lined up on both sides of the road to intercept the excited residents , although most of them came here just to watch the fun, but there are also some people who live near the river and sincerely want the river god to repair it quickly.

Yi Qingchen stood on a small slope, taking advantage of the terrain, he could clearly see the anxiety and helplessness on Master Liu's face. He is very aware of his master's temperament, Liu Seqing has always been a conceited person, if he knows it well, he shouldn't act like this at this time.

As Master Liu and the others gradually approached the Broken Bridge, the cheers of the crowd also became orderly and loud. A red figure pushed aside the crowd and walked towards Yi Qingchen. Walking on crutches and holding an umbrella in one hand, it was extremely difficult in the strong wind. When Yi Qingchen saw someone coming, he hurried up to help him open the umbrella, "Brother Jiang, why are you here?"

Jiang Zhige looked back at the direction of the broken bridge, and walked a few steps in a muffled voice until he found a stone on which to rest, and sat down regardless of whether it was wet or dry.

Yi Qingchen felt a little nervous, Jiang Zhige has always had a straight-talking temper, and it seemed the most frightening to say nothing now, so he called Jiang Zhige twice, and blurted out the third time, Jiang Zhige Only then did he come back to his senses, staring blankly at Yi Qingchen, "Huh?"

Yi Qingchen felt even more strange, "Brother Jiang...how did you come here?"

Jiang Zhige followed Yi Qingchen's eyes to his ankle that was still aching, and smiled awkwardly, "It's nothing, everyone in the yamen is here, so I'll follow along to have a look."

Yi Qingchen sighed slightly, and instead of asking further questions, he asked about Master Liu's situation, "So did the master discuss with the county magistrate to find any solution?"

Jiang Zhige shook his head, "No. Now that the rainy season is coming ahead of schedule, it is impossible to build a temporary dam, and it is too late to build another Yanjia. The only solution for now is to repair it. It's just that the cause and location of the damage are not yet clear. Mister must see it for himself before making a plan."

Yi Qingchen's breath stagnated, "So Master, he wants to go down the river himself? Such heavy rain, such rushing water..." As he said that, he wanted to rush to Master Liu, but Jiang Zhige walked away from him. Pulling the corner of his clothes from behind, the latter stopped him, "You should trust your master."

Yi Qingchen was naturally inferior to Jiang Zhige in terms of strength, seeing that his clothes were about to be torn, he had no choice but to give up struggling, and had no choice but to explain, "Master, he is already such an old age..."

Jiang Zhige interrupted, "So? So can you go into the water for Mr. Chanji? Are you going to ignore the people of Weicheng? Mr. Chanji doesn't want you to be in danger, and he doesn't want to let Weicheng be destroyed. Today's decision. Why don't you respect him, do you know the strength of Mr. Chanji? Can you think of a better way?"

Yi Qingchen was a little confused by Jiang Zhige's questioning, and Jiang Zhige also realized that his tone seemed a little fierce, so he hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry." Regardless of whether Yi Qingchen accepted it or not, he just held it silently On the left wrist, there is a string of red strings wearing silver ornaments. Because the color is too similar to the material of the clothes, Yi Qingchen has not been able to find it.

Jiang Zhige clenched his wrists like this, lowered his head, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't blame you like this..."

Yi Qingchen didn't care about this, but was more concerned about Jiang Zhige's mental state, "Brother Jiang, are you okay?"

Jiang Zhige shook his head, refusing to raise his eyes, "It's nothing, I just thought of something from my childhood, it's okay, it will be fine after a while..."

The dark clouds above the head surged, as if a thunder dragon was shuttled through them, and the surrounding fields were filled with death-like oppression.

Yi Qingchen inexplicably recalled the scenery when he was still in the mass grave. He may have been afraid of loneliness since he was a child, and he loved the people close to him very much. Injured or killed, one day they will leave themselves.

So he will always choose to hurt himself in exchange for a peaceful life for them, but it seems that the result has not always been as he wished. Whenever he gets hurt on their behalf, they seem to be angry...

A fuzzy face flashed across his mind, Yi Qingchen felt his heart jump up suddenly, then fell hard again, the gap between the two phases seemed to experience life and death in an instant, he clutched his heart, desperately trying to catch that auspicious feather, but in the end And it doesn't stop there.

He vaguely felt that this person was Hua Shenchi, but he couldn't see his face at all. He only remembered that there seemed to be blood on his lips, and he was very embarrassed. His usual low and steady words were also broken by the panicked footsteps, "Hold on!" It’s almost here, wait a little while, the pain will go away after a while.”

The fragrant wind from Peach Blossom brought peach blossoms, one of which was facing Yi Qingchen's face, he stretched out his hand to hold it, the petals just hit into his palm, there was a moment of consonance in his heart, and then suddenly passed away.

Jiang Zhige watched Yi Qingchen's movements from the side, afraid that he would make some unexpected moves, but Yi Qingchen just smiled softly, and said in compromise, "It's true that I pushed myself too hard. Now, I can't do anything right now, and I can't do anything..."

"I will cherish my life..."

Master Liu and the county magistrate walked to the Broken Bridge. The county magistrate held his hands behind his back, held his chest high, and made a promise in front of all the residents present, "Don't worry, everyone. After discussing with Mr. Chan Ji several times, the magistrate has made a promise. With a plan, the flood will never happen again!"

Some people in the crowd applauded, while others were skeptical. The county magistrate didn't explain too much, and only said a few words on the occasion, and retreated under the bridge, leaving Liu Seqing alone on the broken bridge.

The fine rain beat on the iron wheelchair, and the entire broken bridge was shaking in the wind and rain, as if it would collapse into the rushing water at any moment. Liu Seqing was holding a strange bronze thing in his hand, which looked like a compass, but the pointer was missing. The fine lines meander and coil on it, forming an exquisite grand picture of astrology. Liu Seqing caresses the surface of the disk over and over again, chanting words in his mouth.Everyone was guessing what the compass was, Jiang Zhige was also curious, but Yi Qingchen recognized it, "That's Yan Jia's 'half heart'."

That is, the organ that manipulates Yanjia.

Liu Seqing only inadvertently mentioned the "half heart" of Yanjia with Yi Qingchen in a conversation, although it is very popular now, but in those days, it was the highest skill that Yanzong Yanshi pursued.

When Yanshi manufactures this kind of Yanjia, it will first put a precisely designed copper ball into a specific position in the Yanjia. The structure inside the copper ball is as complicated as a maze. Involvement, but the silk thread affects every joint on the Yanjia, and the copper ball only needs to change its position a little, and it will drive the Yanjia to move.

There is also a special magnet in the compass. Specially trained Yanshi can manipulate Yanjia from a long distance through exquisite manipulation, but this technique requires extremely high attainments. Provoking Yanjia to run wildly, not to mention hurting people in the end, the painstaking work may also be destroyed by itself.

Although Yi Qingchen believed in his master's ability, he was a little worried about the condition of the river god. The magnet had been buried in the water for so long, would it still be controlled by the compass?

Master Liu is not a person who likes to whet people's appetites, so he picked up the compass and began to gather strength.

At first, I couldn't see why, and it caused a lot of discussion among the residents. Zhilin and Zhifeng looked at each other, and one of them went to the bridge to hold an umbrella for Master Liu and persuade him to rest for a while, but he didn't want Master Liu to shout at him. With a voice, "Forgot what the old man said earlier? Back off!" The man flinched, then retreated to the side of the county magistrate, shrugging helplessly.From beginning to end, the county magistrate just stroked his beard and said nothing.

After a while, in the rushing water, a dark shadow gradually protruded from the water surface, and when it broke through the water, everyone recognized that it was the hand of the river god Yanjia.Everyone rejoiced at the achievement in front of them, but Yi Qingchen saw Master Liu's clothes and hair on the temples that were drenched in rain. He looked at it for a moment, then resisted to look away, and Jiang Zhige patted his arm to express his comfort , but Yi Qingchen could only smile wryly.

When half of the Yanjia came out of the water, the water level in the moat dropped by half in an instant. Zhilin Zhifeng and the two couldn't help being excited, and even Jiang Zhige stood up to watch in shock.

The River God Yanjia looked much more spectacular than Yi Qingchen looked at underwater, it was actually a section higher than the city tower of Weicheng, the scales on his body were broken and peeled off, and the ravine was filled with stones However, it can still be seen that it was gorgeous when it was first built. The water plants and mud cover its original color, and the holes in the joints are also seeping water outside, like a waterfall, which makes the residents below dodge. .

Yanjia lifted one leg and landed heavily on the shore, causing Jiang Zhige to sit back on the rock, grinning in pain.

Yanjia was about to go ashore, Yi Qingchen took off his coat and hung it on his arm, and trotted to deliver a piece of dry clothes to Master Liu, just when he ran halfway, a sudden change occurred, amidst the exclamation of everyone, a mass of A black shadow descended from the sky and kicked the river god heavily on the head. Yan Jia's center of gravity was unstable and he tilted backwards. Seeing that he was about to fall back into the water, Master Liu tried his best to hold on.

The black figure stood high above the River God, and was covered in black gauze and satin, like a proud black phoenix. With just one glance, Jiang Zhige roared, "Jiang Jiuqu!"

The ghost-faced gentleman covered his mouth and laughed, glanced at the behemoth under him, then at the crowd of ants, and finally turned his gaze to Jiang Zhige, "What's so interesting? Yanjia? I've never seen it before." over this big."

After saying that, he jumped down, strangled the neck of the river god with a piece of silk, and made a knot like a swing. The whole person sat on it, stagnant in mid-air, and the big hole in Yanjia's abdomen was on the right hand side.He probed inside and looked in, curiously said, "I heard that there is a 'heart' in such a delicate Yanjia? It's a good thing, I will definitely play with it."

"Jiang Jiuqu! Stop it!" Jiang Zhige rushed a few steps while leaning on crutches, but staggered because of his disordered steps. He wanted to look for a knife with his right hand, but realized that he was in the cultivation period and didn't have a knife at all. go out.

The ghost-faced gentleman saw Jiang Zhige's desolate appearance, and was very happy, so he sat on the swing and started to swing, "Oh, my good brother, what can you do like this? Why don't you look at the slave carefully?" How to steal this Yanjia Heart and let your Weicheng be destroyed!"

Jiang Zhige stood up again and rushed forward a few steps, but the old injury hadn't healed, and a new injury was added after falling several times. After falling like this for seven or eight rounds, he was so painful that he couldn't stand up anymore. It was a threat that still gritted its teeth, "How dare you!"

"Of course I dare." Ghost-faced Lord said, he threw out a strip of silk and wrapped it around the heart of Yanjia. However, the heart of Yanjia has a special structure, and it is attached with a chain of locks, which is much stronger than he expected. The time couldn't be pulled out, he tried several times, but still couldn't, he was annoyed for a moment, so he didn't pull it out at all, instead he collected the silk and satin, flew around the river god for two weeks, and threw out a silk wrap with all his strength. The stone lion in front of the city gate of Shangwei City, with another throw, sent the stone lion into the air and smashed it straight at Yanjia.

The river god suddenly raised his fist and collided with the stone lion. With the huge roar, the stones shattered by the stone lion scattered all over the ground. The dust filled the air and was soon suppressed by the rain. The ghost-faced gentleman covered his mouth and coughed a few times, laughing Looking in the direction of Liu Seqing, "It is worthy of being the leader of the robbers in the past, and his reputation is well-deserved, but it is a pity that he is old after all." After speaking, using his energy, dozens of silks flew out around him, wrapped around the pillars of the tower, and surrounded by everyone. Amidst the exclamation, the roof of the city tower was actually overturned.

Not only were the onlookers surprised, but Jiang Zhige was also really taken aback, "When did he cultivate such strange strength?" As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the ghostly face and Mr. Wang looked at him triumphantly, and then He covered his mouth and sneered, "The slave family is very happy now."

The silk and satin fluttered wildly like a spirit snake in the wind. Before the crowd watching the excitement had time to see its trajectory clearly, they saw several black shadows rushing towards their eyes.

The people who were lucky enough not to be selected by the ghost-faced man looked at the headless corpse beside him whose head had already flown out but was still groping around, panicked and fled in all directions like an ant nest. Excited, the silk danced even more crazily, and even the frequency of attacking the river god and harvesting heads increased a lot.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Zhige desperately wanted to stand up, so he tied a few pieces of rotten wood with a wristband to protect his injured ankle, and ran forward regardless of 21, ignoring the pain, just wanting to save Take the lives of those innocent people.
