Yushui Night Walk

According to Xuan Ming, the flow of water and air in rainy days is messy, and it is difficult to judge their positions with the perception of Chi Chi.And if there is any eyeliner in the city, it is obviously not Ling Yun's opponent.

Xuan Ming didn't know when Ling Yun inquired about the news and how he recognized the route.After turning out the window, he led him to jump up and down, turn around, and turn out of the city from a low wall without a sound.

To the north of Sunset Valley, it entered the jurisdiction of Shecheng.The official road was indeed much easier to walk. Within half a day, the two of them had walked out of the hilly area and entered the open plain area.There are large farmlands on both sides of the road, and there are still crops that have not yet been harvested in the fields, which are watered by continuous rainy days.

After walking a short distance, the city walls of Shecheng can be seen in the distance.There is still some distance from the city gate, Xuanming sighed that it is worthy of being the capital of Shangtu, the city wall was built in a very grand style, not to mention compared with the Luoying City he walked through, even compared with the supernatural workmanship of the demon world downwind.

Ling Yun next to him seemed not so leisurely, Youdao was more timid because he was close to his hometown, and it was inconvenient for Xuanming to bother him.

"Did you... feel anything?" Ling Yun suddenly asked.

Xuan Ming was slightly taken aback, and replied, "Shecheng is in front, so I can't perceive it."

"That's it." Ling Yun nodded.

The two hurried all the way, and now they have reached the edge of the city, but they saw many people standing densely on the towering city wall, all wearing common clothes, obviously common people.Everyone was pale and looked very frightened.Many soldiers in brown light armor were shouting hoarsely in the drizzle, calling for more residents to climb up the city wall.

Xuan Ming was looking up at the situation, when he saw a soldier who was looking around on the turret seemed to have discovered something, suddenly bent down and stretched out half of his body, bumping into Xuan Ming's line of sight.

"Under the city! Who is it!" the soldier yelled at them, and his question could hardly be heard through the wind and rain.

Xuan Ming looked at Ling Yun, but saw that he had strode close to the base of the city wall, apparently not intending to answer at all.

"Passing by to visit relatives!" Xuanming did not know what to do, and also shouted towards the wall, "Excuse me, what happened?"

"The mountain in the north is flooded!" the soldier shouted, "There is a ladder over there, hurry up!"

North hill?Getting wet?

This description made Xuanming confused.

"What's the situation?" Ling Yun also frowned, "Go up and have a look."

After going up the city wall, Xuanming finally saw clearly what the soldier was saying by "water from the mountain".

Literally, there is a mountain at the north gate of Shecheng, and the top of the mountain is continuously gushing water.The water flow looked extremely clear, not mixed with sediment like the torrents in the Sunset Valley.But the water is huge, and it is pouring down from the towering hills at this moment. I am afraid that the society city will turn from the capital of the land into a vast ocean in a short time.

Before Xuan Ming could turn around to communicate with Ling Yun, he suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder.

"Earth vein water." Ling Yun's hurried voice sounded from the side, "Go to the city lord and help them divert the water."

"What?" Xuan Ming didn't quite understand, but when he turned around again, he found that the people around him had disappeared.Instead, there was a small blue butterfly lying on his waist.

Xuan Ming frowned, and took out the Fire Cloud Jade Pendant from his waist.I saw the little butterfly flying around the jade pendant twice, and finally landed on his shoulder, like a piece of embroidered clothes.

That's it.

Xuan Ming sighed helplessly, and decided to do what Ling Yun told him first.

It's just that the city lord, how can I find him?

Xuanming looked around, and the residents of the entire city of Shecheng were climbing up the walls in a hurry, in a hurry but not chaotic, orderly.

Looking closely, these people seem to be climbing the city walls in three directions: east, west, and south.Only there were no people on the city wall to the north, it was full of soldiers, scattered monks.Right above the city gate is a figure, dressed luxuriously, but standing resolutely in the rainstorm.

On the north side of the city wall, that is the closest place to the incident.Even if this is not the city lord, he is probably an extraordinary person.

Xuan Ming thought about it truthfully, and was about to walk north, but suddenly an old woman grabbed her belt.

"Young man, are you here to visit relatives?" The old woman had gray temples, hunched over, but her eyes were very clear, "You don't look like a local."

"I'm from Yancheng in the southeast. The lady is homesick, so I accompany him back." Xuanming looked at the old woman, thinking about replying, "The situation was chaotic just now, and I got separated for a while. I heard the lady said that she lives in the north of the city, so I wanted to look there. "

The old lady nodded after hearing this, and her expression softened a lot, "I know you are anxious, but the whole city is taking refuge on this wall, so it is not appropriate to walk around. Just listen to the official. It is not too late to find relatives after the water subsides." .”

"You're right." Xuan Ming replied with a bow. "Ma'am, what's the matter?"

"I don't know." The old woman shook her head.

"Hey, Xu Niang hasn't heard of it yet?" The other end was talking, but a few middle-aged men and women beside him interrupted, "I heard that there are people on Yunshan Mountain who are practicing the sorcery of water control. Damn it!"

"Yeah, I heard it's called Yunmen's crooked way?"

"Sooner or later, let's take a look at it!"

"Stop talking nonsense!" The old woman called Xu Niang shouted suddenly, and the gossiping men and women around her fell silent.

"I have always respected keeping our feet on the ground in the city of Shangtu. The children are anxious and talk too much. It's ridiculous." Xu Niang stopped those people and turned around to explain to Xuanming.

The gossip and gossip of these people is not too mindful, after all, it is not something that I should worry about.But there was one detail that inevitably made him a little suspicious.

There are very few people in the human race who can control water, and all monks who control water are regarded as honored guests by various forces.This can be seen from the Huayulou dancer.And in this city, why does Yushuishu be called sorcery?

Someone is always instigating trouble, right?

And this old woman doesn't seem to be simple.

"Auntie, Xiaosheng is from Yancheng by the water, and he has a little knowledge of... sorcery." Xuanming said, the little butterfly on his shoulder flapped its wings at the right time, "Today is a natural disaster, can you let Xiaosheng do his best?"

When Xu Niang heard this, she didn't change her expression.After staring at Xuanming for a long time, he suddenly possessed himself and bowed reverently.

"Then please, save the people of our city from the fire and water." Xu Niang said respectfully.

Seeing this, Xuanming didn't say much, "Where is the Lord of Shecheng?"

Xu Niang pointed to the north city wall, "I'm dispatching monks in Luan Qingguan in the north of the city."

After hearing this, Xuan Ming nodded slightly, stepped on the edge of the city wall, and rushed towards the north city wall amidst the exclamation and onlookers of the citizens and soldiers.

"Xu Niang, who is that? Do you want you to salute him?" On the other side of Nancheng, a few people who had just been reprimanded just now gathered around and asked Xu Niang, "It looks extraordinary, is it some kind of emperor?" Relatives?"

"Presumptuous!" Xu Niang glared at them, and they had no choice but to walk away and sit back on the ground under the wall.

"Do you know where Yunshan is?" Xu Niang looked at the top of the mountain where the water was gushing, and her tone of voice was no longer angry.

Where do monsters live?Several people looked at each other, but did not dare to speak.

"The Yunxian came down to earth, that is, he settled down from Yunshan Mountain, in order to bestow the art of creating fire and controlling water in the world." Xu Niang ignored them and said to herself.

As for that man just now, his wife lives in the north of the city, and he has to do his best in a natural disaster. Who is this man... the royal relatives and relatives may only be on par with him.

Xu Niang shook her head, but she didn't want to think about it anymore.

I just hope that my child will not be too negligent for a while.

It was only after Xuanming climbed up the north city wall that he realized that the city lord was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a tall and straight figure and a heroic look between his brows.Probably also an imperial monk.Seeing Xuan Ming, several attendants beside the city lord took the initiative to give way for him and led him all the way to the city lord.

"Young hero is good at martial arts." The city lord glanced at Xuanming from a distance, then turned his gaze back to the city.Xuan Ming followed his line of sight and saw dozens of monks busying themselves around the city, as if they were setting up a formation.

"It's just that the young man doesn't seem to be from our Shecheng." The city lord continued to speak, but he didn't look at Xuanming again, "What do you want to come to me at this time?"

Xuanming rolled his eyes, and from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the little butterfly on his shoulder flapping its wings, and suddenly had a plan in his mind.

So he took out the Fire Cloud Jade Pendant.

"The young master of Yunmen." Xuanming said, "I am here to help the city master smooth the dragon's veins."

When the city lord heard this, he turned his head immediately, and when he saw the Huoyun jade pendant, his eyes almost fell out.

"Yun...yun...yun..." The city lord stretched out his finger, pointing tremblingly at the Huoyun jade pendant in Xuanming's hand, "Are you really from the Yunmen?"

"It's absolutely true!" Xuanming gritted his teeth, and simply kept on doing nothing.

"Heaven will not perish my community city!!"

As a result, the city lord of Shecheng, who was still majestic just now, suddenly wailed, and his whole body seemed to be discouraged and calmed down.

A group of monks in the city looked back neatly.

The city lord quickly corrected his posture and shouted down the city, "Continue to fortify!"

A group of monks under the city turned their heads neatly and continued their work.

"You are, the young master of Yunmen?" The city master eased his emotions, turned around and said to Xuanming, "May I ask if you know what happened to this mountain? But there is..."

"There are monsters in trouble." Xuanming replied resolutely, "These water monsters covet my Yunmen fairy's secret art, and while I'm not at home, they join forces with Xiaoxiao from the clan to create trouble, disturbing the earth vein water."

Who would have thought that the city lord nodded complacently after hearing this, "It's true. It's exactly what the fortune teller said."

"What do you mean by that?"

"A few months ago, a fortune teller told me that there might be floods involving the earth veins in the future. Let me contact Luanqingguan and prepare to repair the dragon veins. If the floods are serious, there must be disciples of the Cloud Gate. Come to help with the Fire Cloud Order in hand. Otherwise, there is nothing to worry about."

"So that's how it is." Xuan Ming knew that this "counter" was probably the real young master of Yunmen. "City Master, it's useless to talk too much. At this time, the monster on the top of the mountain is fighting fiercely with our people. The outcome is unknown. We still need to seize the opportunity to repair the damaged dragon vein first."

"What the young master said is true." The city lord wiped off his sweat, "I will make the monks of Luanqing get ready. If the water flows down, they will use the earth to block it. Build seven diversion dams to prevent the water from damaging the surrounding farmland and villages. "

"It's so good. The surrounding terrain is still clear to the city lord." Xuan Mingxin said that the city lord has two tricks, and he also knows that the water in the veins is pure water, which does not melt in the soil. The water potential. At that time, the city lord is also requested to send some monks who control the earth to cooperate."

"Okay, okay, I'll do my best to help." Seeing Xuanming's confident look, the city lord felt more at ease.

"However, whether it is diverted or suppressed, it can only be resisted for a while." Xuan Ming continued, "If the source of the collapse of the dragon veins is not found and suppressed as soon as possible, the water of the ground veins will continue to gush out. At that time It’s not as simple as flooding your entire city.”

"Ah! What, what should I do?" Hearing this, the city lord began to sweat profusely again.

Just as Xuan Ming was thinking, the butterfly on his shoulder shook its wings suddenly, which made him anxious.

Xiaoyun...

"Block the water in front of the mountain, and I will go up the mountain to check." Xuan Ming said decisively.

"That's good, that's good." The city lord nodded and looked up at Yunshan again.

At this time, the water flowed up to the middle of the mountain, and the monks under the city had already been arranged. There was nothing to do for a while, but to wait for the opportunity.

The city lord secretly glanced at the "Young Master of Yunmen" who was standing beside him with a serious but very calm expression. After much deliberation, he finally gritted his teeth and opened his mouth.

"This little butterfly is a water spirit?" the city lord asked cautiously.

Who would have thought that the man would turn his head with interest after hearing this, "What?"

The city lord was very pleasantly surprised. While looking at the position of the water flow, he quickly explained, "I was also a monk who majored in 'Earth Spirit' in Luanqingguan. Unfortunately, I have little knowledge and never created such a vivid spiritual creature."

After speaking, he stretched out his palm and clenched it, and a beetle the size of a fingernail appeared on his hand.After running a few laps along the palm prints, it turned into a piece of dirt again.

"If today's difficulties can be passed safely, the young master is willing to have a lesson or two with me?"

"Naturally." Xuanming nodded casually, "I hope all the living beings in the world can be spared from such unreasonable disasters."

The city lord responded with a few words, and stopped bothering.The two watched the water gradually fall together, and they were about to reach the foot of the mountain.

"City Lord." Xuanming suddenly said, and bowed to the City Lord, "In recent years, the Shui tribe has not been peaceful, and there are always little monsters who take advantage of the chaos and do not abide by morals. Make an apology to the City Lord."

After finishing speaking, he jumped off the city wall and hurried towards the foot of the mountain.

The city lord stood on the north wall, looking at Xuan Ming's back, suddenly startled, and hastily returned a salute to the front of the mountain.

"In recent years, the world has not been peaceful anywhere. I just wait...to protect my people well."

Xuanming went down the city wall, passed many monks all the way, and frowned when he saw that they had drawn extremely complicated formations on the ground.

The Imperial Soil Formation is naturally suitable for drawing on the ground, but whether the Imperial Water Formation is painted on soil or paper, its effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

... how did he do it?

While thinking about it, the mountain that has come is hanging.The leyline water pouring down from the top of the mountain is like a waterfall. If it is an ordinary person, the force of this water is afraid that it can smash people to pieces.

Earth vein water, pure water, incompatible with soil.In other words, it is pure "water".

"The shore of the land, could it be the king's ministers." Xuanming looked awe-inspiring, and hurriedly drew a few water lines in the air, it was actually a formation.

"So, listen to me!"

The voice fell, and the formation took shape.In an instant, the rising water suddenly sank as if being suppressed by something invisible.

When the cultivator in front of the city saw it, he was overjoyed, and quickly launched a formation to manipulate the land to separate to the two sides.Wait for the water to sink to the surface and push the land back into place.

Some of the unreturned ground vein water flowed down. Although it was dispersed by the earth dam, some water flowed straight down, and there were some waves at the foot of the city wall, barely reaching the ankles.

The monks in the city were about to breathe a sigh of relief when they heard a voice behind them.

"How?" This person is none other than the city lord of Shecheng who was standing on the city just now.

"Guard Master!" Seeing the city lord descending from the city wall, a monk hurried forward, but he shouted in his mouth that it was the temple master of Luanqing Temple, "The turbulence of the ground veins and water is too strong, and our formation may not be able to suppress it for long... ..."

"Leave it to him." The visitor looked at the figure that had long since disappeared on the top of the mountain, and sighed deeply.

The water is falling.

Xuan Ming stretched out his finger, and the butterfly lightly landed on the fingertip.The veins on the blue wings are actually flowing water.

"Where is Xiaoyun?" Xuanming asked.

The little butterfly flapped its wings, circled a few times in the air, and flew towards the top of the mountain.

The faint blue light passed through the numerous barriers in the mountains, spotless.
