Volume 1 The Little Boy Who Seeks Knowledge, Chapter 39 Remedy
The sudden collapse of the Broken Water Mountain surprised everyone.
For example, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu who was busy dealing with political affairs in the capital, such as General Zheng Da who was anxiously waiting for reinforcements at Chongling Pass, and the Hubu Shilang who was anxious in Longquan County.
Chu Qiu stood on the flying sword, watching the flowing clouds and birds on both sides continue to flash in front of him, and his mood was extremely complicated.
If Mrs. Xiao really broke the glass cup, what could she do now?
Kill the female ghost in order to reduce the punishment?
Find out the culprit and exonerate yourself?
These are no longer of much significance, and now unless the Broken Water Mountain stops collapsing, he Chuqiu will definitely be blamed.
As for Ye Fan and his party, there is no time to take care of this problem that they don't want to think about, and it is only right to run for their lives quickly.
Although Ye Fan had not yet fallen into a coma, when the wisps of Haoran Qi rushed out of his body, he also brought out all the spiritual energy in his body. Under the exertion, the mind was already greatly consumed, and without the support of the aura, there was no strength in the whole body. Now it was like a loach being carried by Chen Yi on his shoulder, swinging constantly, and quickly escaping down the mountain.
Li Jin waved his long knife and chopped a boulder not far from several people into pieces, turned his head and asked loudly, "How far is it?"
Chen Qiaoqian, who was held back by Wei Cheng, looked at the talisman that was still floating in the sky, calculated silently, and replied: "There are still thirteen miles to escape!"
Li Jin ran at the back of everyone, blocking the speeding boulders one by one for a few people, and then said loudly: "No, we can't run through the thirteen-mile road at all, we have to find a way!"
Zhongli was injured a little, but it was not too serious, and when he heard this, he said, "The old man's flying sword can take away five people, what about the rest?"
Ye Fan, who was lying on Chen Yi's back, rose and fell with his pace, and said to Zhong Li with all his strength: "Elder Zhong, how long can you and Uncle Li stop these boulders with all your strength!"
Zhongli slashed a boulder elsewhere, then replied, "At most, it can only block half an hour!"
Ye Fan nodded, and said to a few people: "Can you dig a big pit that can accommodate more than a dozen people in half an hour?"
Wei Cheng is basically equal to a mortal now, but his running speed is not too slow, he thinks silently while running, and then replies loudly: "It's feasible!"
When several people heard Ye Fan's words, they all thought of what his solution was, and they couldn't help but show joy.
Although the young man's body was weak, his brain was running at great speed, and he said loudly: "Uncle Li, Elder Zhong, and everyone." I will count three times in a while, and as soon as the three sounds arrive, I will immediately dig the ground with all my strength at Brother Liu, remember not to dig too deep, the height of being able to squat is enough. Zhong Lao and they can only block half an hour, so they must dig within half an hour, and after digging, Zhong Lao's flying sword must be covered on it to be considered a complete success, and the action must be fast, do you understand?!"
Everyone galloped and replied, "Understood!"
The boulder rushed in, and it was not far from the group, and it was about to catch up.
Ye Fan took a deep breath and counted out the first sound loudly: "One!"
Zhongli's flying sword was full of light, and the sword body was full of sword qi reflecting red light.
"Two!"
Li Jin lifted the long knife, and the knife qi gushed and was ready to attack.
"Three! Let's go!"
As soon as the words fell, Zhongli and Li Jin immediately flew behind everyone. The flying sword increased in size, nearly two zhang long, and it blocked the galloping boulders one by one in front of Zhongli. Li Jin swung his long knife and chopped the oversized mountain stone into pieces, saving Zhongli some energy and aura.
The rest of the people immediately stopped, and all of them walked in front of Liu Dapeng and began to dig a hole. Chen Yi placed Ye Fan on the ground and also put it into the project of digging a hole.
Liu Dapeng is a monk of the Three Realms, and he is naturally the main force in digging holes. I saw the flying sword swinging quickly in his hand, and it kept flying out with the snow and dirt and gravel.
Zhongli's whole body was full of aura, and he was stubbornly resisting the boulder that was constantly impacted, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.
Li Jin's face was covered with sweat, and he smashed a boulder again, turned around and asked loudly, "How long will it take?"
Wei Cheng didn't stop, and replied while digging a hole in the ground: "Hold on a little longer, and it will be fine right away!"
Zhongli didn't say a word, his feet pressed against the ground, and two deep marks slid out. Each of the boulders in front of him weighs a thousand catties, and the rapid impact is even more powerful, and the energy in the body must not be removed. If you don't block it, everyone behind you will die.
At this moment, at the highest point of the Broken Water Mountain Range, a super boulder about five zhang wide slowly descended from the top of the mountain, and then rolled faster and faster, and actually went straight to the giant sword in front of Zhong Li.
Li Jinling was above the giant sword, and saw the extremely huge boulder rolling towards him, and a sword qi flew away, but only a small piece was broken, which was insignificant compared to the huge volume.
Li Jin suddenly shouted: "Senior Zhong, this boulder is too big to be blocked, what should I do now?"
Zhongli didn't take a step back, but gritted his teeth against the long sword, and used his actions to tell Li Jin his way.
If you can't stand it, you have to top it!
The boulder rolled down at a rapid pace, bringing up bursts of smoke and snow, which was huge and intimidating.
It was less than half a mile away from the long sword.
Li Jin could only try to block one or two with his sword qi, but it was in vain, and he used his mantis arm as a car.
The boulder is rolling faster and faster, getting closer and closer to the old man, if it collides here, Zhongli, who is injured, will be seriously injured on the spot.
In the blink of an eye, it was less than 100 meters.
That's when it happened.
A white glow descended from the sky and flew swiftly towards the boulder.
It turned out to be a flying sword carrying sword energy.
It's thundering.
The sword landed on a boulder not far from the red greatsword.
The boulder exploded, and smoke and dust rose into the sky.
The flying sword quickly retreated, and a sword qi fell into the hole dug by several people, and the area of the hole was directly blown up several times.
"All in, quick!"
A slightly urgent voice came from the sky.
Everyone was stunned, and then hurried into the cave.
The flying sword saw that all the people had entered the hole in the ground, and the volume quickly increased to several zhang, covering everyone under the sword.
"You two can leave. ”
The voice from heaven sounded again.
Li Jin soared directly into the sky and took off.
Hearing this, Zhongli did not hesitate, directly put away the long sword, and then quickly flew into the air.
Countless boulders and dirt and snow rolled down on the giant sword, and smoke and dust gradually rose. Zhongli and the others could no longer see the situation on the ground, and they were both a little worried.
A handsome young man in a long robe and a sword-eyed man descended from the sky, surrounded by a thin layer of mist, and stopped beside them.
The man in the long robe saluted slightly and said: "Under the Red Leaf Country, the squire of the household department, surnamed Chu Mingqiu." This is Jiulongling Sword Cultivator Tang Yu. I don't know who the two are?"
Zhong Li saluted with his sword and replied: "The branch of the Hundred Treasure Pavilion of the Red Leaf Country enshrines Zhong Li, this is the Li Jin brother. Our group escorted a batch of supplies to Chongling Pass by order of the imperial court, but we never wanted to go to Broken Water Mountain but encountered a female ghost, and had to fight with it. After that, the mountain range suddenly collapsed, and the old man didn't know why. Here, the old man still thanked the two for saving his life, if he didn't dislike it, he would be thanked afterwards. ”
Tang Yu looked down at the huge momentum below him and the purple qi remaining in the distance, and said slowly: "Do you know that once the Broken Water Mountain Mountain Range collapses, tens of thousands of people will be in great trouble, and even Guliujiang will be implicated, and one-fifth of the creatures in the territory of the Red Leaf Country will suffer great disasters because of this. If the Criminal Department is tried and the case board is finalized, it will not be enough for the officials involved to punish the nine clans. It started because of you, so you just tell me that I don't know why?"
He suddenly shouted in an aggravated tone: "Those ordinary people and officials who died because of this, hundreds of thousands of living beings, do you also want to say something I don't know why?!"
Chu Qiu sighed, knowing that what he said was a little too heavy, but he didn't blame Tang Yu for it.
This person's character is upright and tough, if he thinks that this thing is wrong, even the senior teachers in the sect are right, but he has also offended a group of people because of this.
When Li Jin heard this, he wanted to go up to theorize a thing or two, but was pulled back by Zhongli.
Whether it was the fault of the group or not, the collapse of the mountain range was always related to a few people. Compared with the thousands of living beings who died because of this, what is it to be scolded twice.
Tang Yu's expression was still indignant, but seeing that the two did not refute, he also flicked his long sleeves and did not speak.
"No," Chu Qiu looked at the purple qi in the distance and said, "That purple qi, is it formed by Haoran Qi?"
Li Jin thought of the oath he had made, and he was a little hesitant when he heard it.
Seeing this, Chu Qiu knew that there was a play, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said anxiously: "Brother Li Jin, I know that you have something unspeakable, but this matter is related to the survival of the Broken Water Mountain Range and tens of thousands of people, you must not hide anything from me and miss a big matter." ”
Li Jin sighed, then nodded slowly.
Chu Qiu's face was overjoyed, and he let out a sigh of relief, "Huh~ The road of heaven and earth is endless, it is really the road of heaven and earth." The glass cup was broken for a short time, and as long as it could be repaired by the sage in Haoranqi, it was possible to remedy it. The most important thing now is to find the owner of Haoran Qi to repair the glass cup, Brother Li Jin, do you know who its owner is?"
Li Jin pointed to his body and said, "Among the more than ten people who were rescued by you, there was a young man named Ye Fan. ”
Chu Qiu was slightly surprised when he heard this, thinking that a monk who could have a wisp of majestic aura should be the head of a clan or a sect master, but he didn't expect it to be a teenager.
But thinking about it carefully, Chu Qiu felt a little relieved in his heart. This young man should be the unicorn of a big family, and Haoran Qi should have been rewarded by the ancestor of the clan.
Since this is the case, then the heat of this matter must be well handled, and we must not use power to suppress people and lose good feelings.
At this time, the boulder on the top of the mountain had already rolled down, and several people quickly swept to the ground when they saw this.
If one looks down from a higher altitude, they will see a large hole in the highest part of a mountain range that stretches for hundreds of miles, creating a huge canyon, which is quite a spectacular sight.
