Rumble!

Rumble!

Rumble!

The river god was killed, symbolizing the authority of the river god, like a talisman of nine meandering flowing water suddenly turned into ashes.

A trace of black, like a filamentous substance strangely floated from the huge corpse of the river god, and finally converged to form a black tide.

Where they passed, the river suddenly became cold and bitter, and both the fish and plants in the water were instantly squeezed dry and turned into lifeless existences.

And the river, which was already somewhat calm, suddenly became undulating under the impetus of these black silk threads, and waves of turbid waves rushed towards the river bank like a vanguard.

It looks unusually spectacular, as if ten thousand horses are in unison.

Everyone on the shore was stunned, not knowing what to do.

There seemed to be several huge craters on the riverbed, and countless rivers were mercilessly swallowed up because they were swallowed up so fast that they formed huge whirlpools that were visible to the naked eye enough to swallow the bodies of passing ships.

Rumble!

Rumble!

Rumble!

The huge whirlpool is spinning rapidly, and both the dead wood floating on the river and the fish and shrimp living in the river are all sucked in.

An osprey swept through the air, and suddenly, as if he had seen something, his round eyes revealed a hint of surprise, like a stray arrow.

When he flew again, there was a crucian carp under his claws that was black, with a flat head, and writhing desperately.

However, he did not rejoice for long.

Because he found that no matter how hard he flapped his wings, he did not fly away from the water, but under the action of an inexplicable suction force, the distance between him and the water surface became closer and closer.

"What's going on?"

Before the osprey's tiny brain could come up with an answer, it was torn off and devoured by the whirlpool.

"This... ”

"What's going on?"

Fan Gou'er and the others looked at the uncontrollable river like a wild horse, and the slight tremor coming from the soles of their feet, and their eyes suddenly showed shock.

"What the hell is going on, how can the river be so agitated?"

"Not good!"

"The river is going to be diverted... ”

"Everyone, back off!"

The people who live by the river are extremely experienced, and they hurriedly shouted loudly when they saw the raging appearance of the river.

When Situ Xing and the others heard the shouting, they all subconsciously retreated.

At the moment when everyone's footsteps left the embankment, the section of the embankment that had existed for hundreds of years appeared as hollows like honeycombs, and the yellow water overflowed from the holes, making the soil soft.

"Retreat!"

"The embankment is going to collapse!"

Feeling the tremor coming from the ground, whether it was Situ Xing, or Fan Gou'er and the others, their faces changed greatly, and their feet seemed to be equipped with springs.

Rumble!

Rumble!

Rumble!

Pieces of sediment became soft in the soaking of the river, and under the action of water pressure, the water ejecting from the holes became more and more powerful, and large patches of sand and gravel were directly washed down by them.

The embankment was relentlessly washed by the flowing water, thinning at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally becoming even more fragile, and with just a little more strength, it would be like a domino that had been overturned, and it would be reduced to ruins in an instant.

"Keep the levee!"

Looking at the thinner and thinner embankments, thinking of the diversion of the river and the sight of thousands of miles of oceans, Situ Xing's eyes couldn't help but shrink.

"The three armies are dispatched!"

"We must keep the levee!"

"No!"

"No!"

"No!"

Looking at the crumbling embankment, the faces of Fan Gou'er, Xue Li, Li Ling and others couldn't help but change greatly, after hearing Situ Xing's order, they nodded heavily without any hesitation, and led the soldiers to find huge stones nearby, trees that had been broken, etc., they stood in a long column, like gears, and like worker ants to cooperate with each other.

The boulders and fallen logs in the recesses of the mountains were quickly transported to the embankment and then tossed heavily into the raging river.

However, all this, in the face of the raging river, seems to be such a drop in the bucket.

The dikes are still decreasing at a visible rate, and it may not take an hour for the entire dikes to be completely washed away.

"Your Excellency!"

"The water is so fast!"

"We don't have enough people!"

Fan Gou'er looked at the raging river and the shrinking embankment, and couldn't help but have an anxious look in his eyes, looking at Situ Xing who was standing on a high place and roared loudly.

"All the guards are on the embankment!"

"The levee must be kept... ”

Situ Xing looked at the raging river and the thinner and thinner embankments, his eyes couldn't help but show anxiety, and he waved his hand heavily, saying without any hesitation.

"Your Excellency!"

"Our guards exist to protect the safety of adults. ”

"If an adult is injured because of a moment's negligence, I will not be able to escape the guilt of a hundred deaths. ”

The guards subconsciously glanced at the precarious embankment, and then looked at Situ Xing, and his eyes couldn't help but show hesitation.

"This official is standing here, what danger can there be?"

"Go!"

"You all go up to the levee!"

"It's an order!"

Situ Xing felt the hesitation in the eyes of the guards, and couldn't help but be angry in his heart, and shouted loudly.

"We must keep the levee!"

"Otherwise, the villages downstream will become swamp countries!"

The people on the shore were also aware of the possible disaster caused by the diversion of the river, and did not worry about their own safety, so under the leadership of the village elders, they carried shovels and other materials to the embankment, and kept throwing stones, sand, and wood into the river.

With the joint efforts of the soldiers and the common people, although the flood peak was still raging, it seemed to have weakened a lot. However, there was no relaxation on everyone's faces.

Because, the dikes are still decreasing, and their efforts are only slowing it down.

It is foreseeable that if this continues, after a few hours, the entire embankment will inevitably be ruthlessly swallowed.

"Your Excellency!"

"I can't stand it, let the people downstream run quickly!"

Mura, who had been working in the fields for many years with a dark complexion and a face covered with ditches, looked at the raging tide and the dwindling dredikes, and his eyes couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

"yes!"

"My lord, I don't know what these black things are, they are very difficult, and I will try my best, but there is no effect!"

Fan Gou'er looked at the substance floating on the surface of the water, like black crude oil, and said with some despair.

"If you don't get rid of these substances, the river will never be calm!"

"Then what we are doing now is nothing more than cold water to stop boiling!"

Xue Li, who was wearing silver armor, was still a little pale because of the relationship between the "Three Arrows Determine the Heavenly Mountain", and he stood with Fang Tian's halberd and said helplessly.

"These black threads are resentment ... ”

"The river god has been powerful and blessed over the years, and I don't know how many living beings have been killed. ”

"When the river god did not fall, because there was a court edict and the river god rune jointly suppressed it, it was peaceful. ”

"Now that the river god has fallen, there is no suppression, and resentment has suddenly erupted, which is why a black wave has formed... ”

"Because these are resentments, they are formless and insubstantial, so there is no way to get rid of them by ordinary means. ”

Situ Xing looked at the existence of the black in the water, like a carpet of crude oil, his eyes were gloomy, and he said in a deep voice.

"How's that okay?"

"Can we just watch the flood rag and swallow everything?"

Xue Li, who was wearing silver armor, looked at the raging flood and the soldiers who were slowly retreating, and his eyes couldn't help but rise with worry.

"Sacrifice!"

"There is no other way but to sacrifice!"

"This official once saw such a record in a miscellaneous book, the river was drumming and whimpering, and he should be sacrificed with his head!"

Situ Xing paused for a while, and only then did he say faintly when everyone thought that he had no choice.

"What!"

"Sacrifice with human heads!"

"How is this possible?"

"Isn't this a blood sacrifice?"

"Only obscenity can be like this!"

"How is this possible?"

Hearing Situ Xing's answer, whether it was Xue Li, Fan Gou'er, Li Ling, or the others, their faces all showed shocked and unbelievable looks.

The outspoken Fan Gou'er blurted out even more.

"Isn't this a matter of carelessness?"

"If we do, what's the difference between that bastard and that bastard?"

The dark-faced Muramasa couldn't help but show fear on his face, his eyes kept flickering, and he looked around with some fear and pleading, as if he was afraid that Situ would throw him and the villagers into the river as sacrifices.

"My lord... ”

"Don't worry!"

"This official is not the kind of cold-blooded person. ”

"There will be no sacrifice of human heads!"

"I won't slaughter the people for blood sacrifices!"

Situ Xing looked at Murazheng's pleading eyes, and immediately knew what he was thinking, shook his head lightly, and said with a smile.

"Whew!"

Listening to Situ Xing's assurance, although the furrowed Muramasa didn't say anything, his originally tense expression obviously became a lot more relaxed.

"What do you mean?"

Xue Li looked at Situ Xing with some curiosity, not knowing how he planned to deal with it.

"Don't worry!"

"This official has his own plans!"

Situ Xing looked around and took in everyone's curious eyes, then nodded lightly, and said with a smile.

"Muramasa!"

"The little old man is here!"

Muramasa, whose face was full of ditches, heard Situ Xing shouting his name, hurriedly stepped forward, and asked cautiously after saluting.

"I wonder what your lordship commands?"

"Is there flour in the village now?"

Situ Xing's eyes were gloomy, as if he asked casually.

"Yes!"

Muramasa's eyes couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect Situ Xing to ask about flour, but he still nodded heavily and said seriously:

"This year's severe drought and waterlogging of the Jishui River have severely reduced grain production. But, if you put it together, you can find a few bags of flour!"

"A few bags of flour!"

"Enough!"

Situ Xing's eyes lit up, and he nodded heavily.

"What do you want flour for?"

Xue Li and the others looked at Situ Xing with a curious expression, and asked in a low voice.
