The two soldiers stepped cautiously onto the trunk of the tree, step by step. Both of them stretched their hands out from side to side to keep their balance, they didn't want to fall into the water, and the hundred corpses in front of them had already told them what would happen if they touched the water.

The two soldiers walked safely across the stream, not even their feet were wet, and as soon as they reached the opposite bank, they couldn't help cheering, and the soldiers on the other side also shouted happily.

Before the cheers fell, the two soldiers suddenly fell together! A green line appeared on their feet, spreading rapidly upwards, and in a few moments, their faces were already green.

On this side of the river, the cheers of the soldiers disappeared all at once.

What's going on? Everyone looked at the river in amazement. Those two people didn't touch the river at all, why are they still like this?

"Stand back and report to the general!" Seeing that the situation was not right, the little capital hurriedly restrained the soldiers from retreating, while reporting to the general.

The news spread all the way to Wei Changfeng.

Wei Changfeng was checking the god locomotive at this time, wanting to see if the god locomotive had been damaged after many days of marching, Li Quan accompanied, the two of them checked it, and saw that the god locomotive was well maintained, and both of them were very happy, and at this time, they received the news from the front.

Wei Changfeng was taken aback. He immediately remembered the knife drawn on the map.

This is really a knife, an invisible knife, and it actually killed more than a hundred people like this!

"Tell the soldiers to stand back, away from the river, and wait for me to take a look." Wei Changfeng immediately ordered.

"The last general will also go and have a look." Li Quan hurriedly said.

Wei Changfeng nodded, and the two of them walked forward, seeing that several Dingyuan generals and Bai Qi had already come, obviously receiving the news.

Everyone came to the vicinity of the river bank and looked at the river from a distance, but in fact it was nearly noon, and the fog on the river was steaming, but other than that, there was nothing unusual.

Everyone was at a loss for a moment, what was this invisible knife? Why did not only the soldiers who were touched by the river fall, but also the soldiers who were not touched by the river?

Wei Changfeng didn't know if it was hot or if he was wearing too much, and he felt a little sweaty on his forehead.

Li Quan looked at the river, pondered for a while, reached into his arms, and slowly took out a thing.

Wei Changfeng and An Ran, who was standing on the side, said "huh" at the same time.

"General Li, are there any monsters in this river?" An Ran asked.

Li Quan smiled: "Where there are so many monsters, not to mention that there are monsters who dare not come out even if they are in the daytime." ”

"So what do you do with cinnabar?" An Ran asked puzzled.

Li Quan smiled and said: "One law leads to ten thousand laws, although there are no monsters in the river, but looking at this situation, there must be some strange evil thing, I will use our Central Plains method to make this monster on the grassland show its original form." ”

Wei Changfeng was very strange and asked, "General Li, you can even subdue demons and eliminate monsters?" ”

Li Quan shook his head and said: "This last general will not, but the last general did work as a Taoist priest for a few years in his early years, and learned some yin and yang five elements or something, but what about the situation in front of him......" He stopped talking and slowly walked towards the riverbank.

Wei Changfeng suddenly felt that this Li Quan was really unfathomable.

This person said that he had worked as a carpenter, and then he could repair and improve the god locomotive and repeater, which was not something that ordinary carpenters could achieve, it was simply the reincarnation of Lu Ban. Then, he used wolf oil to refine the explosives, relieving the danger of the Han army being surrounded before and after. Now, he actually said that he had been a Taoist priest, but I don't know what else this person has done?

It is easy to understand that he has cinnabar in his hand, and he has specifically asked Wei Changfeng for permission to take cinnabar from the doctor's hand, and the reason was later revealed: in order to make explosives. But now, what is he doing with cinnabar? Do you really want to pick up the spells he used to be a Taoist priest to slay demons?

"General Li be careful!" Wei Changfeng saw Li Quan walking towards the river and hurriedly reminded him.

"General Li be careful!" Wei Changfeng hurriedly reminded.

"General Wei rest assured, the last general has his own measure." Li Quan replied as he slowly approached the riverbank. When he reached a distance of about three feet from the shore, Li Quan stopped, raised his hand, and splashed the cinnabar water in his hand.

"Oops!" An Ran shouted, "General Li was so confused that he didn't even draw the talisman, so he splashed the cinnabar!" ”

Li Quan ignored An Ran, but looked at the river intently, suddenly, his face changed, he took a few steps back, pointed to the river and shouted, "Look! ”

Everyone followed Li Quan's fingers and looked forward, only to see that on the surface of the river, countless vermilion thin lines were gently shaking, one end of these thin lines was on the surface of the river, and the other end was about two or three feet upward, gently swaying like willow branches in the wind. These thin lines are so tiny that they are so transparent that they can only be seen when they are splashed with cinnabar. It's just that when the cinnabar was splashed, everyone found that the fog on the river surface was not fog at all, but these small thin lines like a dense forest, but they were all transparent, and the sun shone through, as if they were foggy.

"What is this?" An Ran asked in some surprise.

"Schistosomes!" Li Quan said hatefully, "This thing is as thin as a hair, floating on the surface of the river for many years, once it sticks to the human body, it immediately burrows into the skin, because it is too small, so it is difficult for people to feel it immediately, as soon as it enters the human body, it desperately sucks human blood, and the green color you see is the shape of the schistosomiasis after sucking enough human blood!" ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but shudder. The green could be seen clearly through a stream, three or four inches wide, and the schistosoma on the surface of the river was as thin as a hair. How many times is the difference in between? I'm afraid that the blood on the human body has been sucked dry!

"These abominable Huns!" An Ran couldn't help but scold angrily.

"I'm afraid this was not done by the Huns." Li Quan replied, "They themselves can't see that such evil things are planted on the surface of the river, and they also want to drink water, and they are afraid that they will not stop themselves from doing so." If you look around, are there other people's footprints besides our footprints? If my guess is correct, I am afraid that there are no Huns in this area. They knew that there was this thing in the river, so they did not dare to cross it. ”

"Come on, take a look around!" Wei Changfeng immediately ordered.

The results of the inspection were as Li Quan said, except for their troops, there were no other footprints, and there was no sign of anyone coming to the river. Obviously, the Huns drew a knife on the map, but it did not mean to remind everyone that they could approach here.

Wei Changfeng groaned for a moment, and asked Li Quan with a solemn face: "Then what should I do?" ”

Li Quan smiled: "The five elements are mutually reinforcing, since there is water here, of course there can be things that restrain each other." ”

Wei Changfeng was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Yes, fire!" ”

"Get on the torch!" Enron couldn't wait any longer and immediately ordered.

Torches were tied to the bamboo of the long tents and stretched out to the river, and as soon as each torch entered the river, the mist disappeared immediately, and the soldiers waved the bamboo back and forth, and the mist disappeared one by one. However, only one piece was cleared, and another piece flowed down from the upper reaches of the river, and the soldiers burned it for a long time, but it burned out one by one, and the stream was endless.

Seeing that he couldn't burn these schistosomes, An Ran had to order to rest first. At this time, several generals gathered together, all facing the river, but no one could think of a good way.

After sitting for a long time, everyone was helpless, but they could hear someone behind them shouting and scolding.

"What's going on!" An Ran was annoyed, and his voice couldn't help but carry eight points of sternness, "Who is disturbing military discipline?" Bring it on! ”

Two guards came up with a soldier in tow. "General, this person disturbs the ranks, makes a loud noise, and does not listen to dissuasion." One of the guards glared at the soldier disapprovingly.

The soldier's anxious face was sweating: "Wrong, I saw a few generals sitting here, thinking that they couldn't cross this river, so I came to come up with an idea." ”

An Ran smiled and said, "You actually have a good idea?" A good thing. If you have a way to let us cross the river smoothly, I will personally toast you, if you don't have a good idea, military law is ruthless! ”

The man couldn't help but panic a little when he was taken aback, and hurriedly replied, "Definitely a good idea, definitely a good idea!" ”

"Then speak quickly!" An Ran roared.

The soldier had barely mustered up his courage, but at this time, An Ran's roar made his courage fly away, and he couldn't speak for a while, his anxious face turned white, and he opened his mouth a few times before he replied: "The little one, the little one was a ...... selling sugar gourds before joining the army."

"I didn't ask you what you did before you joined the army!" An Ran said angrily, "I don't care what you sell!" ”

"Sugar gourd!" On the side, Wei Changfeng suddenly shouted, jumped up suddenly, and shouted repeatedly: "Sugar gourd, wonderful, it's really a good way!" ”

An Ran and the soldier both looked at Wei Changfeng dumbfounded.

Wei Changfeng laughed and said to the soldier: "Take a big bamboo, insert the torches on the bamboo in rows like sugar gourds, and then cross the river, and the soldiers cross the river from downstream, so the schistosomiasis upstream will naturally be blocked by this row of torches, isn't it?" ”

"General Wei is really a god!" The soldier had nothing else to say but amazement.

Wei Changfeng smiled: "I'm not a god, if you don't say the sugar gourd, I really can't think of this." Still, I can count that someone is going to pour you a drink. ”

An Ran laughed: "Come on, serve the wine!" I'm going to pour the wine myself! ”

The fire flickered, and rows of large bamboos filled with torches were laid horizontally on the surface of the river, and for the sake of insurance, the three rows of the racks were spaced about one zhang apart. Before crossing the river, two roosters were specially tied to the big bamboo, and they stretched out to the other side of the river close to the water, and after observing for a while, the soldiers crossed the river after seeing that the roosters were normal.

From under the torches, along the river for dozens of feet, the soldiers were hurrying across the river, and the sound of wading through the water was loud.

"Hurry, hurry!" Several generals were in charge of a section, each shouting at the soldiers. Although the torches are safe enough, after all, the number is limited, and if the supply is not available for a while, it will be troublesome, so they keep urging.
