Chapter 145: Endgame
Rumble!
Rumble!
Rumble!
The surging river was like the Milky Way above the nine heavens constantly falling, and the range of the sea of fire that was still turbulent just now was reduced by nearly half, revealing black stones on the ground, and a trace of river water, when it was hot, was scorched, and white steam rose. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
These stones are volcanic rocks formed by the cooling of magma, and they are the hardest, leaving only a white mark even if they are cut by a knife.
Looking at the sea of fire that is only half the size left, as long as it continues to be watered, it is only a matter of time before the sea of fire is extinguished.
But neither Du Chenghuang nor the river god Yu Mo's faces were relaxed, because just a moment ago, they drained several rivers in Zhibei County.
Large areas of farmland will be cut off because there is no river water to irrigate. Countless people will be affected by this, and there will even be a tragic situation of "cannibalism among sons, selling sons and daughters".
Thinking of this, Yu Mo's heart couldn't help but tremble, and the water that fell above the nine heavens disappeared in an instant. And the falling water level in the sun suddenly stopped.
"Come again!"
Du Chenghuang's hand was holding the big seal, and his pupils were a little bloodshot, as if he was a gambler who had pressed all his net worth, and his face was indescribably crazy.
"My lord, I can't come again, the water and gas in the territory are cut off, and the people of Zhibei County must have barren land and no food. When the time comes, the king of people will definitely be investigated, although the minor gods will be severely punished, but even the gods will not be able to escape the involvement. ”
The water god Yu Mo bowed and saluted, and said with some pleading.
"If you don't do this, what else can you do? ”
"The lesser of two evils!"
Du Chenghuang closed his eyes in pain and muttered helplessly.
"Venerable God, we can first seal off the blessed land with our will, and then mobilize all the people to dig up the land where life can be done, so as to change the way of the earth. ”
The water god Yu Mo thought for a long time, and said tentatively.
Du Chenghuang's eyes froze, and his face showed surprise. He didn't expect that the water god Yu Mo would be able to put forward such a high-level suggestion, and he really had a feeling of being impressed by the three days of Shibi.
"This method is feasible, but we don't have such a big influence!"
Du Chenghuang suddenly felt that his eyes lit up, but soon his eyes became dim again, and he said helplessly.
Since the founding of the country, the Great Qian's Shinto has been both a woo and a defense, and the Great Qian's Taizu once had an edict: Shinto must not interfere in politics, otherwise God and man will be punished!
Therefore, although the gods are revered, their influence in the government is really limited.
The suggestion of the water god Yu Mo is good, but Du Chenghuang does not have such a right to mobilize all the people, move mountains and seas, and chisel through the leylines of the earth.
"We don't have this right, but the Divine Venerable must not forget that the biggest beneficiary of this matter is not our Shinto, but the people, and the Yang Shiguan Mansion should cooperate. ”
The water god Yu Mo's face darkened, but soon hope burned again in his eyes.
"This god will send a letter to Beijun, hoping that they can dispatch the power of the government, mobilize all the people, move mountains and seas, and chisel through the leylines of the earth. ”
"I hope this liao can give me enough time to wait. ”
"I also hope that the princes of the northern county will approve it. ”
Du Chenghuang looked at the sea of fire that rolled from time to time, and said with some expectation.
Rumble!
The sea of fire churned again, as if there was a behemoth trying to stand up. Du Chenghuang's heart couldn't help but twitch.
Fortunately, calm returned after the flames tumbled.
。。。。
Shi Jianqiang and others held clay bowls, dragged their daughters, and stood behind people.
The early arrivals in front of him had long since formed a long line. At the end of the long dragon is a cauldron with firewood burning underneath, the boiling water is constantly boiling, and bursts of fragrance waft out of the cauldron.
Everyone subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and their eyes looked a little green.
"Don't squeeze it, everyone has a share. ”
"The county lord is merciful, worried that you will starve, and specially ordered someone to open the official warehouse and give alms food. ”
Hu Buwei stood on the city wall with a headache on his face.
Master Hu Xuezhi, who prides himself on being brilliant, is also entangled, and he has not many goatees, and he pulls out several of them after a while.
"Master, is there a way to arrange these Li Min?"
Hu Buwei looked at the displaced people who were camped below, obviously planning to live for a long time, and said with some concern.
"The best thing to do is to let them return to their hometowns. ”
Hu Xuezhi was asked by Hu Buwei, so he could only say stubbornly.
"This official knows, the question is how do they return to their hometown?"
Hu Buwei looked at Hu Xuezhi, who was a little cramped, and waved his hand a little irritably.
Hu Xuezhi also knew that he had said a word of nonsense, so he could only smile wryly, retreat to the side, and wait for the county lord's command.
"Report, my lord, according to the observation of the small ones, the water level in Zhibei County has no longer dropped. What a joy!"
A man in a soap suit ran up to the city with small steps and said excitedly.
"Thanks to the blessing of the lord, the people of the county are all grateful. ”
Hu Buwei looked at the homeless people who were in a mess and were sharing food below, but the haze in his eyes was reduced a lot.
What a blessing!
If two things break out at the same time, Hu Buwei doesn't know if he can handle it.
"Send some more grain from the official warehouse, and we must appease them. In addition, Hu Tingyu led the soldiers to clean up the demons, and made sure to let these people return to their hometowns. ”
Hu Buwei stood at the head of the city and watched for a long time, and finally came up with a solution that was not a solution.
He also knew that the government's encirclement and suppression was only temporary, and after all, the symptoms would not be cured, but at the moment, he really couldn't think of any good solutions.
One can only hope in Shinto. repeatedly asked Hu Xuezhi to draft an official document and write to Yin Si Du Chenghuang, asking him to send Yin soldiers to assist the government in cleaning up the demons.
But his official documents seemed to sink into the sea, and there was no response at all.
This incident also made Hu Buwei feel worried, and he always had a bad premonition.
He had a hunch that this matter was not over yet, and sooner or later there would be even greater chaos.
Zhibei County, Fu Juren's mansion
After Situ returned to the city, he did not go to the county government or go home, but was dragged to his mansion by Fu Juren.
Fu Juren's mansion is not far from the county government, not a few steps out of the road, in the walk through an alley is the market, every day from the south to the north, indescribable prosperity and liveliness.
But when Situ Xing really stepped into Fu Juren's mansion, he didn't hear a trace of hustle and bustle, and there was an indescribable freshness and tranquility, and there were two worlds inside and outside the door.
"Quiet in the middle of nowhere!"
"The teacher is really blessed to have found this treasure. ”
Situ Xing looked at the lush greenery, as well as the slender and green bamboo forest that had already become a patch, and said with some envy.
Fu Juren's praise of Situ was very useful, and he smiled and guided him up a stone path.
The whole stone path is made of pebbles, zigzag in the bamboo forest to shoot into the distance, the stone path also makes the bamboo forest look extraordinarily deep, although it is not a deep mountain, but it gives people a sense of cloud depth and no return.
"That's wonderful!"
Looking at the bamboo forest moving with the wind, and the stone path that is as quiet as Wolong, movement and stillness, yin and yang, the two are so harmonious and unified.
Even if you look at it with the most demanding eyes, you have to say that although this design is deceptively simple, it is original.
"The teacher is really a blessing, and living here will definitely be able to cultivate one's self and prolong one's life. ”
Situ Xing looked at Maolin Xiuzhu and praised it sincerely.
"Bamboo is one of the four gentlemen in flowers, and it has the most integrity. Therefore, I love bamboo, and I would rather eat without meat than live without bamboo. Eating without meat makes people thin, and living without bamboo makes people vulgar. ”
Fu Juren smiled and guided Situ Xing to walk towards the depths of the bamboo forest on the stone path.
Fu Juren's house is not small, there are four courtyards, but there are not too many rooms, so there are not many people.
Situ Xing and Fu Juren walked for a long time before they saw an old man in linen clothes cleaning the fallen leaves of bamboo with a broom.
It didn't take long to sweep a big pile.
"Although this bamboo is good, it just likes falling leaves. It's just that these subordinates of mine have worked hard. ”
Fu Juren also saw the large pile of fallen leaves, and the servant who had worked hard said with some embarrassment.
The subordinate stood respectfully on the side of the road, and waited for Situ Xing and Fu Juren to pass before picking up the broom again, but he still couldn't help but glance at Situ Xing curiously and secretly.
Although Fu Juren's rank is not high, he is very high. Just like bamboo, it values integrity the most.
has a stubbornness that would rather not bend, so although Fu Juren has served as a student in Zhibei County for many years, he does not have many friends, and there are very few confidants who really bring him home.
In his impression, it is Bai Zicong, the head of the case in Zhibei County, and Li Chengze, the chief bookkeeper, do not have this honor.
Situ was able to win Fu Juren's favor and invite him to his mansion as a guest, which is enough to show that Fu Juren attaches great importance to him.
With such a person, it is only a matter of time before he soars.
If you have the opportunity to meet it in the future, you must definitely make some good karma.
Situ Xing doesn't know what his subordinates think in their hearts, and even if they do, they won't have any reaction, although such a person is suspected of being opportunistic, but it is also human nature.
He followed Fu Juren along the stone path for a few more twists and turns, and finally stopped near a pavilion made of green bamboo. Inside the bamboo pavilion is a stone table carved in stone, as well as two stone benches.
Because of the frequent use, the surface of the stone is extremely smooth, and it can even reflect the shadow of a person.
There is a chessboard on the stone table, obviously someone has just played here, the black and white wolf teeth are staggered, as if two giant beasts are fighting in square inches, and it is actually an endgame that has not been decided.
When Fu Juren saw the endgame on the table, his eyes froze at first, obviously he didn't expect someone to play here so early.
But when he saw a flash of red in the bamboo forest, there was a flash of clarity in his eyes.
Situ Xing didn't know much about the way of chess, but after crossing, it was inevitable that the vassal Fengya would accompany people to talk about a few games, and there would be wins and defeats from time to time.
