Kuangke was ordered by Xuchang to find a warlock. This warlock was originally a young master who was born into a relatively wealthy merchant family. One day, a beggar who looked like a beggar came to his house, and his father, because of the loss of business, thought that it was the beggar who brought bad luck, so he beat the beggar badly and threw him out, causing the beggar to have a lame right foot. The beggar henceforth wandered around his house every day, spreading vicious curses during the day and at the gate of his house in the dead of night, sitting cross-legged, lighting a few candles in front of him, burning some rune paper, chanting words in his mouth, waving his hands in the air, and shaking his head in a strange way.

The family would wake up early every day to find a lot of remnants, and many of the unburned runes were painted with terrifying patterns and vicious words written on them. Finally one day the beggar was caught, so that he was beaten to death, was thrown in a pit and buried, since then the family is even more doomed, first the family declined, and then the disaster to the people, the night often heard the terrible sound, the old man died of a violent illness, the seven orifices bleed, the body was swollen and died very miserably! After that, the family gradually died and only he was left alone, although he was left alive, but he was in a trance all day long, so he scattered all his wealth to visit the Tao to seek immortals, because he hated evil spirits, so he finally followed a Maoshan Taoist priest to practice exorcism and evil spirits, in recent years, he became famous in the Jiangnan area, Jiangnan was Kuangke's hometown, he often heard some strange things, so he heard about it, and he would rather believe it than believe it, so he didn't believe it, so he respected this warlock very much, so he invited him.

Although there was a Taoist chief in charge, Ran Kuangke was still extremely frightened when he saw the scene in front of him - there seemed to be hundreds of burning people in front of him, burning their bodies, like dense ants on the ground, and everywhere they went was burned into a scorched earth. All of them were trembling, their eyes were full of fire, and the blazing light seemed to eat away at their whole bodies, and they felt their bodies swell dramatically.

"It's... This is the head of Meishan Road. Kuang Ke said to Liu Yuan, "Yes... Commander Xu ordered me to take the Taoist chief forward... I'm here to help. ”

Liu Yuan didn't hear anything, he listened attentively to the front line.

"It's still 500 meters from the river!" The sentry on the tower said tremblingly.

"Evacuate the river for 100 meters." Liu said.

With a command, the wall moved back a hundred meters.

"What, what to do? Governor. Kuangke asked.

The Dao Chief's eyes were bright, and he stared at the sea of fire, sometimes pouting, sometimes frowning.

"These fire men should be refined from living people, I have never seen them, strange and strange, wait for me to catch one!"

As he spoke, he kicked his legs slightly, stepped over the human wall, and came to the front of everyone.

"Hey, Dao Chief—" Kuangke shouted.

Liu Yuan finally saw the crazy Taoist priest in front of him - skinny, fairy-winded bones, so cold, he was only wearing a clear cloth robe. He does not dress like a man of the dynasty, with no braids on his head, but a loose bun interspersed with a black wooden shuttle.

"Daoist, stand down!" Liu Yuan was worried that the Taoist priest was a human after all, so how could he not be on fire.

The head of Meishan ignored him, kicked a few steps, and flew across the river.

"Three hundred meters to go!"

"Retreat another hundred meters!"

The wall moved back another 100 meters.

Everyone watched as they disappeared into a blaze of fire.

"One hundred meters to go"

"Retreat 100 meters, open a 2-meter gate - release water!" Liu Yuan ordered.

Upstream, there is a levee that was originally used for flood control, but now it has been widened and reinforced, and a large amount of water has been stored, and the two-metre-wide sluice gates have been opened enough to cover a 50-metre-wide area on either side of the river.

Suddenly, a rumbling sound from the upstream poured down with a huge flow of water, and the downstream gradually became a sea of water.

On the opposite side is the sea of fire, and on this side is the sea of water! The fire shines in the water, reflecting an orange-red sky.

"It's so hot, it's not good to burn." Meishan Daoren exclaimed.

He immediately jumped forward, retreated dozens of meters, and slowly landed on the surface of the river.

From this side of the river, the sky and water were connected, showing a dazzling orange-red, and all Liu Yuan could see was a black figure, floating on the water, but it seemed to be in the fire.

The people of Meishan Dao held their breath and condensed, and recited the mantra, "Eliminate the demon and defend the way, and the sword is unsheathed!" He raised his hands upward, and a wooden sword on his back soared into the air, spinning in the air.

"Come!" Meishan Taoist shouted, and then stretched out his hand, the sword just fell into his hand, he raised the wooden sword, slashed towards the water, a small wooden sword instantly expanded several times, smashed on the water surface to stir up a few zhang high water curtain, the Taoist immediately lucked, the water curtain stagnated in the air.

"Life and life are mutually restrictive, water and fire are incompatible!" He stabbed the wooden sword through the water curtain, and the wooden sword turned into a water sword, and volleyed away, piercing through the sea of fire. Where a person with a fire is stabbed, his body makes a "zizi" sound, and then the fire light weakens, and his whole body shrinks several times, but he can still move forward.

"Launch the water cang!" Liu Yuan ordered.

The front row retreated, and the soldiers in the back row pushed a launch vehicle forward, and each person placed the water tank in the shooting basket, and launched the water tank to the other side of the river through catapulting. At this time, the fire is getting smaller, the fire man is struggling to walk, Meishan Daoist people shouted, pushed down the water curtain, the water poured down, and a thick white gas rose from the ground, carrying ashes to the sky.

Meishan Daochang was pounced on a white face, retreated dozens of meters, at this time the residual red rekindled, the ground rose a few meters high flames, the sea of fire that stretched for hundreds of meters instantly became a momentum, the ground seemed to be covered with oil, and the fire burned violently wherever it went.

"Commander, the embankment is about to collapse."

"What?"

"It was too narrow to drive only 2 meters, and there was too much water left, which broke the embankment."

The water that has been stored for a few days has all been washed down, but I am afraid that it will endanger the people: "Evacuate the people nearby, everyone retreat!" ”

Just about a hundred meters away, the levee was completely breached, and the surging flood roared like a wild beast, rushing down the river violently.

"Quick! Hurry back! Liu Yuan shouted, because he saw that the water level was rising, and it was already submerged to his ankles! Thousands of people were immediately at a loss for what to do, and abandoned their weapons and fled.

The fire spread, and the wall of fire in front of me was as red as a cloud of fire in the evening, and it could even cross the water.

"It seems that this fire cannot be extinguished by water." Daoist Meishan thought to himself, and then silently recited a mantra, and a cold ice sword behind his back suddenly came out of its sheath and hung in the air, the sword body shining.

"This—it's extremely hot here, and it's cold for a thousand years!"

The head of the Meishan Daoist saw that there was a cold air in the city that gathered into the body of the cold ice sword, making the sword cold to ice, and the head of the Meishan Daoist felt a little cold.

"Go!" Meishan Dao Chang gave an order, and the cold ice sword carried a cold air and went straight into the air, pointing directly at the heart of the fire, everywhere he went, the ice and fire were intolerable, and the fire was declining, and then the fire finally retreated faintly under the approach of the fierce cold air, leaving a scorched ground with white smoke.

The flood was so great that hundreds of soldiers were drowned and many houses were washed down, and the water level slowly dropped after about an hour.

After hearing this, Xuchang sent an additional 500 infantry to clean up the mess, and reported to the authorities according to the system to seek material assistance, but with little effect. And because I heard that there was a Meishan Taoist to help this time, only to avoid a greater disaster, I wanted to meet this magical Taoist, plus the appointment, Meishan Taoist not only did not see him, but also said goodbye to Kuangke, but was particularly curious about the cold in this city, so he went into the city to find it.

Hungry, Meishan Daoist wants to find a place to eat.

"Oops!" Meishan Daoist said angrily, "You should take some silver and go!" ”

He touched his pockets up and down, and there were only a few copper plates.

But how do you get some food? He thought about it, and there was no other way but to rely on his old profession. So he bought a piece of cloth with a few copper plates, bought a pen, and wrote on it: One is to get rid of evil spirits, and the other is to subdue demons, and if it is not spiritual, it does not need money. He put it on the wall and stood aside and shouted loudly. At one time, a few people surrounded him, but they were just whispering and ridiculing his image. More people walked by indifferently and without squinting, after all, the streets were full of people and bustling, and few people heard him shouting.

In the evening, a woman noticed him.

She stood by the wall and said, "Rid the evil spirits..."

She thought, "The old man in my own family doesn't look like he's evil, I wonder if it's true?"

"If you don't want money." Meishan Taoist said.

The woman saw that he was a man of bones, that his temperament was different from that of ordinary people, and that a dead horse should be regarded as a live horse doctor, so she said, "Then you will go and see my old man." ”

"Howler!"

Meishan Daoist tore off the cloth on the wall, folded it and put it in his arms, and said with a smile, "Can you eat first?" ”

"Xingle." The woman said.
