Chapter 125: Painting the Boat
After a burst of dazzling white light, Xia Qing felt the world spinning, and then fell into the water with a thud.
"Somebody fell overboard over there. ”
"Hurry, auntie, hurry up and save people. ”
A noisy scream came, and before Xia Qing could see clearly what was going on, he was rescued on the boat. After opening his eyes, Xia Qing saw a familiar face, fair and immature, with two pigtails combed behind his head. It's none other than the little girl Zhao Qianqian who met in the small city of Xihaiyuan.
"Is that you?"
The two spoke in unison, and Zhao Qianqian also recognized Xia Qing.
Xia Qing stood up and found that he had reached the Luoshui River, and he could no longer see the Yulongmen, and he had reached the upper reaches of the Luoshui River. There was a bit of a hot stinging pain on the left arm, and when I rolled up my sleeves, I saw that there was a pattern of the Gate of Ascension on my arm, this immortal weapon was automatically integrated with the body, and it continuously exuded the breath of the fairy, slowly circulating in the body, partly melting into the limbs and tempering the body, and partly transforming into pure Yuan Force to precipitate in the dantian.
After lighting the immortal fire, the body can give birth to the Gate of Ascension, and in turn, the Gate of Ascension can also nourish the body and complement each other. Xia Qing was secretly surprised, thinking about finding time to ponder carefully and see what other mysteries there were in the Gate of Ascension.
"Hey, little painter, why did you come to Wuzhou and fall into the water?" Zhao Qianqian asked, looking Xia Qing up and down with clear big eyes, she always felt that Xia Qing seemed to be different, but she couldn't say what the difference was. The Peach Blossom Demon Queen also looked over, her face was still veiled, and her graceful figure seemed to be more attractive, as if she could hook people's souls.
"Hey, what are the eyes, ask you, idiot. Zhao Qianqian pouted, a little dissatisfied.
The Peach Blossom Demon Ji smiled, showing off the flowers, Xia Qing came back to his senses and didn't dare to look more, remembering the warning of the big butler Zhao, "Uh...... , I came to look for relatives, but I got lost, and I was chased by a group of bandits, and accidentally fell into the water. Miss Zhao, thank you. ”
"What's the use of just thanks, give money. Zhao Qianqian stretched out her hand and asked Xia Qing for life-saving money, looking like Xia Qing owed her three hundred taels, and the peach blossom demon smiled again.
"Ask for money...... No. ”
Xia Qing blinked his eyes and said, "I got lost in my search for relatives, and I almost died in the hands of the bandits, and all the luggage and packages are gone." Miss Zhao, you saved me, but you still need life-saving money at this time, can you bear it?"
"Of course bear with me, it's not bad if it's not like you, it's good to open your mouth, hum!"
Zhao Qianqian seemed to be a little worried about the affairs of Xihaiyuan, and her tone changed, and she said: "That's it, it's okay if you don't have money, paint three paintings for me, you must paint them well, and if you don't look good, you can keep painting! There are also painters on the painting boat, and they are also known as Danqing masters, but none of the paintings painted are good-looking." Come on, pen and paper. ”
Zhao Qianqian stared at Xia Qing with a fierce look of fear that Xia Qing would run away. Of course, what she wants is not Yinliang, but Xia Qing's paintings, and she has been cherishing those paintings of Xia Qing in Xihaiyuan last time.
Xia Qing smiled dumbly, and only then did he notice that on a delicate and luxurious painting boat, in addition to the accompanying servants and guards, there were also many people wearing official uniforms, stretching out their hands to release many paper cranes. In the cabin, there are rows of painters, with their eyes closed, drawing realistic landscape paintings. People kept coming up and putting together the landscape paintings of these artists to form huge landscape paintings.
These landscape paintings depict different places with mountains and rivers, but they all have one thing in common, that is, they all have a long river that meanders. Nine bends and eighteen bends, it seems that they are all depicted in the Luoshui River, or in other words, they are all landscape paintings with the Luoshui River as a reference point.
This is the map, and these people are drawing a map of Wuzhou!
Xia Qing's heart was shocked, and he suddenly understood what these painters were drawing. The boat traveled all the way upstream, and with the help of countless paper cranes, the artists drew maps along the way. Some people specialize in releasing paper cranes, some people paint, some people are responsible for putting together landscape paintings, and some people are responsible for careful scrutiny, holding tools such as rulers and compasses in their hands, as if they are looking for something. Behind the Peach Blossom Demon Queen stood a middle-aged man, wearing a first-class official uniform of the Dakang Dynasty, who seemed to be a member of the imperial court.
"Report, Lord Luo, I found a dragon vein. Someone hurriedly walked out of the cabin with a map and reported to Luo Jing, a waiter of the Ministry of Works, who was wearing a first-class official uniform.
Luo Jing was unhurried, "Where?"
"Right in front of the valley, the peak of the mountain is where the dragon looks up. "Subordinate report.
"Then what are you waiting for, let's act, in addition to the trapped dragon lock, bring the dragon nail and the dragon slashing knife, and cut off the dragon's head. Luo Jing commanded, his face calm with a hint of ruthlessness.
"Whoa!"
The subordinates bowed down and took the order. Soon, a team of guards rowed a small boat to the shore, dug a well in the valley, put in a long trapped dragon lock, and then drove a pile at the seven-inch position of the dragon vein, and drove a large iron nail more than five meters long into the ground.
The ground shook suddenly, blood seeped out of the piles, and there were faint roars and wails from deep underground.
The painters became nervous, some of them had trembling legs and stomachs, but Luo Jing, who was an official of the first grade, was as heavy as water, and at the sound of an order, another team of guards rushed up with tools and treasures, and nailed more Dinglong nails into the river valley. Then, someone raised a dragon slashing knife and volleyed into the air, slashing down a nearby mountain peak. According to Feng Shui metaphysics, that is where the dragon raises its head, and if the mountain peak is cut off, the dragon's head is gone, and this dragon vein is completely destroyed.
The guards quickly rushed back, and the painting boat continued to swim upstream, and every time they found a treasure of feng shui, someone stepped forward to break ground, or drive piles, or dig wells, and even use various tools and magical powers to hollow out the mountain, and the place passed was unrecognizable.
The people on the boat didn't react, they seemed to be used to it, but Xia Qing was shocked.
"These people are destroying the feng shui of Wuzhou, they are doing it on purpose!"
"Drawing a map of Wuzhou, measuring the land of Wuzhou, and breaking the feng shui and foundation of Wuzhou, what are they going to do?"
Xia Qing was shocked, and then, instinctively disgusted, angry, and hateful, and was thinking about how to stop these people's madness, the river suddenly rolled up. There was no wind and waves on the surface of the river, and it slapped towards the painting boat, and the waves were higher than the other.
"Be careful, there are evil dragons in the Luoshui River!"
"Where is the general of the military department, who still hasn't killed this evil dragon?"
People panicked, and Luo Jing, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, also gave an order in a hurry.
More than a dozen sturdy figures rushed out of the cabin, waving various weapons and jumping into the Luoshui River. The river tumbled even more violently, setting off huge waves more than ten meters high, and a deafening dragon roar came from below the water's surface. Soon, patches of blood were floating on the surface of the river. The Peach Blossom Demon Queen hugged Zhao Qianqian in her arms, and at some point there was an extra silver needle in her hand, looking coldly at the tumbling river.
"These people, all of them are big bad guys!"
"No, I must tell my aunt and the old shopkeeper immediately, and we must find a way to stop these bad guys!"
Xia Qing secretly retreated to the edge of the deck, and while no one was paying attention, he quietly jumped into the Luoshui River, preparing to leave quietly.
