The Monk

Chapter 238 Ice surface

The old man saw Zhang Weifang's face was as dark as water and his eyes were cold. He felt a little scared. He wanted to leave but didn't dare. It took him a long time to say: "Sir, if nothing happens, I'll leave." He didn't have the guts to ask Zhang Weifang directly for help. Finishing the story is considered your best effort, and God will decide the rest.

Zhang Awei nodded slightly: "Yes." After saying that, he felt a little cold and added: "Wang Li is dead, and the prefect must also die. You don't have to worry anymore. Do more good deeds in the future." After hearing what Zhang Awei said, the old man I was very happy and said repeatedly: "Thank you, thank you." With the help of the middle-aged man, he walked to the soft sedan, then got on the sedan and left.

There were many people standing on the street, watching and talking and refused to leave. The bodies of Wang Li and Wang Li had been burned to ashes. There was nothing in front of the door, and they didn't know what they were looking at. Zhang Ain closed the courtyard door, greeted Song Yunyi and others, and quickly came to the prefect's Yamen. When the prefect got the news, he knew something had happened and was packing his things to escape. Zhang was afraid that he was not talking nonsense, so he went over and slapped him to death, and then went to find the admiral.

The admiral was a foreign general who didn't know about the old events in Yong'an. Seeing the unexpected development of things, the soldiers returned in fear. He scolded the soldiers and generals who had fled back, and then sent people to the capital to ask for help. More than 200 of his soldiers were unable to deal with Zhang Afraid, and the admiral was even less sure of him. He could only turn to others to stand up for him. Little did he expect that the prefect was busy escaping at this time, and he had not yet managed to escape. Has been killed by Zhang Afraid.

Zhang was afraid of killing the prefect, so he went to the military camp again. After finding the Chinese army's tent, he also slapped the admiral to death to give himself some vent. So far, the three biggest scourges in Yong'an City have all been killed by Zhang Awei, but they did not embarrass their family.

Zhang Weijing hung the two bodies high at the city gate to act as a threat and as retribution for their offending him.

He did this, but he didn't expect that someone brave would take advantage of the situation to cause trouble. The top official died, subordinate officials were panicked, the army was out of control, and there were riots and gangs of ruffians to rob. Zhang Wen was even more angry when he found out, and he was not polite at the moment. His consciousness covered the entire Yong'an City. Anyone who took advantage of the chaos to do evil would be killed without mercy.

Of course, these are just a few emergencies. Most people don't care who is in office or who conflicts with whom. No matter how violent your troubles are, as long as they don't involve you, it's nothing more than tomorrow's talk.

In one day of turmoil, dozens of people died. Anyone who did evil that day, whether stealing, robbing or cheating, would be killed by Zhang Awei. Zhang was afraid that after killing, he would destroy the body on the spot without leaving any traces. It did not cause more chaos, and Yong'an quickly calmed down.

The three ringleaders were killed, and those who had been bullied were all decorated with lights and colorful decorations and rejoiced. Early the next morning, the old man who had been here yesterday came to the house again to express his gratitude and pay for someone to repair the ancestral hall outside Nancheng.

From that day on, Zhang Wen and others lived in Yongan and lived a peaceful life. The corpses of the prefect and admiral were hung at the city gate for seven days before being burned by Zhang Wen. There are always troublemakers in the city, who want to take advantage of the chaos to rob, and want to take advantage of the situation to take Wang Li's place. Anyone who made any unusual move would be killed and burned by Zhang Awei.

Time flies, the seasons change and winter comes. Yong'an is located in the south. Winter is just a little colder. It doesn't snow and the water doesn't freeze. For the people, it's just about wearing two more clothes. There are no other changes.

Yong'an's high-ranking civil and military officials were killed together. The Qi court attached great importance to it and sent people to conduct a detailed investigation. However, since the matter involved immortal cultivators, they could only let it go. In addition, the people were harmonious and the peace was good, there were no riots or abnormal situations, and the scene was peaceful and happy. The imperial court simply followed the trend and sent another official to assist Yong'an to learn about the matter in a hurry.

At this time, the new magistrate had already taken office, and the first thing he did when he took office was to come to see Zhang Ping. Zhang was afraid that he would have to chat nonsense with him for a while to make him feel at ease, and then everyone would do whatever they were supposed to do.

There is a large lake fifteen miles south of Yong'an County, with a radius of a hundred miles. There are several villages beside the lake, and the people in the villages make a living by fishing. Yong'an County has a convenient terrain, so there is no shortage of delicious fish all year round. But as the New Year is approaching, there are fewer and fewer fish in the market, and the prices are getting more and more expensive, making people all over the city curious, where have the fish gone?

Interested people asked around and found out that the lake was frozen.

As soon as the news came out, the whole city was in an uproar. How could it freeze on such a hot day in Yong'an? Anyway, fifteen miles is not that far, and many people go to the big lake to find out.

The lake has the same name as the city, also called Yong'an. In the past, there were rippling blue waves and endless scenery of lakes and mountains, but now they have turned into pure white. White hard and thick ice covers the entire lake, and you can't see the edge as far as the eye can see.

After Zhang Wen and others heard about it, they came to join in the fun. The weather was warm, but the lake could freeze, which was always a little abnormal. When we arrived at the lake, we found that there were quite a lot of people coming to join in the fun. Hundreds of people stood along the lake, stretching out for miles.

As soon as they stood by the lake, a kind person reminded them: "Don't go on the lake, it's very cold."

cold? Zhang Ai looked around and saw that everyone was standing on the shore and no one was playing on the ice. However, I couldn’t see anyone suffering from frostbite. I guess the cold was limited, so I strolled onto the ice.

The man muttered: "How come you don't know good intentions? You don't believe me when you say you're cold."

As soon as Zhang Wen stepped on the ice, he immediately felt the temperature difference. The biting cold hit his whole body, and his shoes and clothes couldn't stop him at all. The cold was like standing naked in an iceberg. It was bone-piercing, but not fatal for a short period of time.

Stepping back to the shore, the cold feeling disappeared immediately. The contrast between hot and cold felt like a spring breeze, very warm and comfortable.

Strange, one step away can make such a huge difference. Thinking about the cold, it's not just the coldness of the ice surface, it's like the lake surface and the land are two different worlds, it's winter on the lake surface and summer on the shore.

The man next to him saw that he didn't say anything, thinking that he was frozen, and kindly suggested: "It's cold, right? Don't believe me, go back and drink a few sips of soju, warm up your body and you'll be fine."

Zhang Pa smiled at him: "Thank you, I'm fine." He squatted down to take a closer look at the ice surface. He felt that it was slightly different from normal ice, but he didn't know where the difference was. He thought of comparing it with frozen ice, but it was inconvenient to do so with someone around.

Zhang Tianfang didn't care about that, he laughed and said: "I'd rather freeze you to death." As he said that, he jumped onto the ice surface, shouting: "It's not cold, not cold." Zhang Pa rolled his eyes at him, too lazy to talk nonsense with him. That guy used spiritual power to protect himself, so it was strange that he felt cold.

The kindhearted person next to him was so scared that he shouted, "Come back quickly, be careful of frostbite." Zhang was afraid and said, "He is a lunatic, he has thick skin and flesh, he will be fine." The kindhearted person muttered, "Thick skin and flesh cannot keep out the cold." Zhang Tian put it on the ice for a while, then jumped back and said, "No, how thick is this ice? Why can't I see the bottom?"
