Under the sun on the horizon, a young man was dancing in the wind, extremely fast, his body was like a lightning bolt, but in the blink of an eye, he had crossed several mountain peaks.

He seemed to be very urgent, and he did not stop for a moment, but sometimes he looked, sometimes he searched, as if he were looking for something.

This young man is Feng Yi, and he and Nu Ai recuperated in the mountains that day, and had a dispute, but later finally persuaded her, so that Nu Ai promised him to go to find the rangers first, and tried his best to persuade them to give up the assassination of Fei Hanxun, join the command of Great Xia, and wait for everything to be planned, and then attack the Han Kingdom.

After Feng Yi left Nu Ai, on the one hand, he was worried about the ranger and rushed to Luoshui with all his might. On the one hand, he was freed from the shackles of Nu Ai and the kings of Great Xia, like a fish returning to the sea and a bird going to the sky, and it was only then that he truly felt the preciousness of freedom.

For a moment, he really wanted to drop everything, go to Kunlun Mountain to find the Yuxi Fairy, and live in seclusion with her in the mountains......

"Hey, if the fairy is willing, stay away from the chaos of the great wilderness, live in seclusion on the legendary Kunlun Immortal Mountain, eat Ganoderma lucidum fairy grass every day, maybe you can still be with the dragon and phoenix, what a happy life!"

Just as I was thinking about it, the scenery in front of me suddenly changed, and the previous green mountains and surging green water disappeared, and a plain appeared. Several villages appear on the plains.

Feng Yi thought secretly: "Naluoshui is in this direction, but I can't find it?" ”

I want to swoop down and land on the path outside the village. Looking ahead, the village was quiet, and there were not many people entering or leaving in broad daylight. Feng Yi was a little strange and walked in.

As soon as he crossed the small river outside the village, he saw a stone statue on the other side of the river, very burly, with a strange face and long hair, which looked like a man and a beast.

And in front of the stone statue, hundreds of people, old and young, bowed their heads one by one, and followed an old man at the front to read something.

Feng Yi was stunned for a moment, didn't know why, and secretly thought: "Is it worshipping the ancestors?"

He hesitated for a moment, but finally stepped on tiptoe and flew over.

The old man was looking at the stone statue reverently, when suddenly a young man suddenly appeared beside him, and sat on the ground in fright, until the man beside him helped him up. He leaned on crutches and said tremblingly, "You...... Who are you?"

Feng Yi thought that he had scared him, so he hurriedly changed his smiling face and said, "Don't be afraid, old man, I'm just a passerby." I can't find a way to Luoshui if I want to, so I'm going to ask. ”

A man beside the old man exclaimed, "You want to go to Luoshui?"

Feng Yi was a little surprised, and said, "Yes, did you go the wrong way?"

The man didn't speak, just looked at the old man. The old man seemed to have seen the world, and after a while, he returned to normal, and said, "This is Zhaojia Village, and the old man is the village head." Shaoxia wants to go to Luoshui, but he must not go. ”

Feng Yi wondered, "Why?"

Before the village chief could speak, another man said: "Village chief, if he wants to go, let him go, we can't take care of it ourselves, and we can take care of others?" ”

Feng Yi felt strange in his heart, but since others had evicted the guests, he didn't want to stay long, so he arched his hand and said: "Since this is the case, then I will leave." ”

He was about to go away against the wind, but he suddenly heard the voice of the village chief behind him: "Young man, listen to the old man, don't go." ”

Feng Yi turned his head, saw the village chief drink away from everyone, and said: "Shaoxia, you should have also heard that in a few days, the Son of Heaven of the Great Wilderness will come to Luoshui to hunt, and this radius of hundreds of miles is strictly investigated." ”

Feng Yi smiled and said, "How does the old man know that I was not invited by the Cold Country?"

The village chief smiled: "Although the old man is old, he has seen many people. The young man's temperament is not vulgar, his eyes are different, he is a young talent at first sight, such a person is rare in the cold country, you are not a ranger, or the son of a certain tribe!"

Feng Yi was surprised and said with a smile: "The old man has a unique vision, I admire it very much." But I must go to this Luoshui. ”

The village chief sighed: "The old decay can't stop you, but if you want to go, you have to wait until after dark, and you can't even climb the mountain in front of you, and you will be caught." ”

Feng Yilian said: "Thank you for reminding me!" He was grateful in his heart, but secretly thought: "My current cultivation, it is not easy for them to arrest me." ”

Having said that, Feng Yi stopped and looked for some water to drink, and by the way, he wanted to inquire, had there ever been a ranger passing by?

After standing for a while, I saw that the villagers had been worshipping the stone statue by the river, and they were chanting words.

He was a little strange and couldn't help asking, "What kind of god are you worshipping?"

A man said coldly: "This is not a god?

Feng Yi was shocked when he heard this, so he took a closer look at the stone statue, and he didn't know if the person who carved the stone statue was not skilled or what, this stone statue looked extremely strange, obviously very powerful, domineering, but there was a recklessness in his eyes, as if he was extremely disdainful of anything. Feng Yi changed several angles, and was surprised to find that no matter which direction, the eyes of this stone statue were slanted at themselves, never facing them squarely.

After looking at it for a moment, Feng Yi couldn't help but have a strange feeling, as if this stone statue was not a person, but two completely different people together.

The more he looked at it, the more strange it became, and he couldn't help asking, "Is this Yu Hanxun?"

The man said, "Of course, otherwise who else could it be?"

Feng Yi shook his head and said, "I don't think so." ”

When the man heard this, his face changed greatly, and his eyes involuntarily looked at the village chief. The village chief walked over slowly and said, "Why did the young man say this?"

Feng Yi said: "I just feel, don't be surprised if you say something wrong, I just think that this stone statue looks like it has a momentum that overrides people." But this is not the case inside, just this look and expression, it seems to be unrestrained, empty of everything, but it makes people feel no sense of oppression......"

The village chief was shocked, and after a while, he said: "Shaoxia, your eyesight is excellent, better than ordinary people." The old man will not hide it from you, although this stone statue is carved according to the appearance of Yu Hanxun, but when the master carved it, he thought of another hero who stood up to the sky. ”

Feng Yi was also surprised and asked, "Who is that?"

The village chief said: "I don't know if the young man has heard of the water god Wuzhiqi?"

Feng Yi's heart jumped: "I said why does it look so familiar, it turns out that this carver has hidden Wuzhiqi's mind in this stone statue." Although he was very surprised to hear Wu Zhiqi's name, he just said lightly: "I've heard of it." ”

The village chief said: "Wuzhi Qi Ke is a great hero, and his deeds have been circulating in our village. ”

Feng Yi said deliberately: "But I heard that Wuzhi Qi had a great flood and a great famine, which was against the former Great Xia Dynasty's Ji Wenming. ”

The village chief said: "That's all rumors. Back then, Ji Wenming conquered countless tribes in the Great Wilderness by controlling the water, killing many powerful characters and spirit beasts. Wuzhiqi couldn't stand it, so he competed with him. Although Wuzhiqi used the power of the flood, he split the mountains into lakes and pointed to the land into rivers, which benefited the people of the Great Wilderness. On the contrary, it is Ji Wenming, since the flood control, he has not done anything good to the people. ”

Feng Yi was silent, and after a while, he asked again: "Then what are you doing with Wuzhiqi?"

The village chief said: "Don't hide it from the young man, our village is small, and we all rely on the river at the entrance of the village to make a living." But in recent months, the river has skyrocketed, more than ten times wider than before, often flooding the villager, we worship the water god Wuzhiqi, in order to let him suppress the flood, bless our villagers. ”

Feng Yi nodded when he heard this, and thought secretly: "Hey, since the last goodbye, there has been no news from Wuzhiqi's seniors, and I don't know what happened to him?"

Feng Yi wanted to do something for the villagers, but although his cultivation was strong, he didn't know anything about this water control. If it is a small river stream, you can also try it with Kanshui Ding, but the river in front of you is menacing, and I am afraid that the strength of a few people will not be able to stop it. ”

He thought about it and said: "Old man, in my opinion, worshipping Wuzhiqi can't cure the flood for a while, so you might as well move to another place and take refuge." ”

The village chief sighed: "How can the old man not know? But here there are hundreds of miles around the Shanglin Hunting Garden of the Cold Country, and there are many fierce beasts, although our villagers have great strength, they can't beat jackals, tigers and leopards." ”

Feng Yi was also embarrassed when he heard this, so he had to think to himself: "When I find those rangers, I will persuade them to come and protect the villagers and leave here." ”

Just thinking about it, I suddenly heard a neighing of soldiers and horses in the distance, and when I looked up, the smoke and dust were billowing out.

Feng Yi was very strange, this place is deserted, the village is scarce, how can there be an army here?, but seeing that the faces of the village chief and the villagers changed greatly, they became frightened, and hurriedly gathered a few young and strong people, covered the stone statue with cloth, and prepared to carry it into the house.

Before Feng Yi could ask, the group of dozens of sergeants had already galloped over on horseback.

The villagers had no time to dodge, so they fell to the ground in shock, the old man screamed repeatedly, and the woman protected her child, trembling.

Feng Yi saw that they were soldiers of the Cold Country, and secretly cursed in his heart: "A group of bullying dogs." ”

The sergeant at the head rode on his horse, looked at him condescendingly, waved his whip, and said, "You guys, have any strangers come to the village lately?"

When the villagers heard this, their eyes subconsciously glanced at Feng Yi behind them, and they were silent. The sergeant was about to get angry, but he saw an old man come out and said with a smile: "My lord, the old man is the village chief here, and the river has been flooding recently, and we are all busy protecting the crops, and we have not seen any strangers." ”

The sergeant said coldly: "Listen, His Majesty the Son of Heaven is coming to Luoshui recently, if you find something abnormal, report it immediately." ”

The village chief said, "Yes, yes." ”

The sergeant said: "You untouchables are also blessed by three lifetimes, this time His Majesty the Son of Heaven wants to recruit people to build Shanglin Palace, you go with me quickly, if Your Majesty is happy, you may be exempted from taxes for life." ”

When the villagers heard this, they were not happy and shocked, and they were so frightened that they took a step back.
