Back to the yamen, the sky was almost dawn, the master and apprentice cleaned up, covered their heads and slept soundly, they were sleeping sweetly, they heard two thunders and deafening, so frightened that the two of them sat up in a daze, looked at each other and looked out of the door, but saw that the sky was as gloomy as the night, and the wind was howling outside...... Blow the overhead tiles. Silver snakes fell from above the nine heavens, forming curtains of light, dazzling in the gloomy and dark sky.

The door slammed open with a strong wind, boom! Bang Dang! …… Hitting back and forth, the wind poured into the house, blowing Zhou Xing and Lin Qi into despair, Lin Qi jumped out of bed, hurriedly went to close the door, and when he was in a hurry, he felt that he had stepped on a small but soft thing, and when he looked down, he saw countless mice on the ground chattering and running outside. At his feet was a big gray mouse.

Mouse Lin Qi has seen a lot, but has never seen such a thing today, these mice do not avoid people, there are two mice are very interesting, the one in the back lies down and holds an egg in his arms, the big mouse in front drags his tail to the outside, and some mice have small mice in their mouths, and some also carry small cloth bags on their shoulders, standing upright like people, in short, they are varied, strange.

Lin Qi was amazed, and shouted to Zhou Xing: "Master, look, these rats have become fine." ”

Lin Qi didn't know how bad, but Zhou Xing was a person who understood, seeing the rat running outside like a house, his face changed, and he secretly screamed badly, pulling Lin Qi to follow the rat outside, and when he arrived in the yard, he saw the rat twisting along the wall on the roof, Zhou Dian looked around, there was an ancient tree on the right side of the yard, with thick branches, and pushed Lin Qi and said: "Quick, go up the house along the tree!" ”

Lin Qi's cheeks hurt from the strong wind, his eyes couldn't open, and when he heard the master shouting, he didn't come back to his strength, and asked loudly, "What?" Zhou Xing, who had never beaten him, scolded him, or even said a cruel word, kicked him in the ass and said loudly: "Hurry up and climb the roof along the tree, it's too late." ”

Lin Qi was kicked and staggered, and now he heard the master's words clearly, and hurriedly climbed up the tree, he grew up in a mountain village, and climbed a tree really fast, and went to the roof three times and two times, and looked down, and the master also climbed up, but this time to the roof, the wind was more violent, blowing the two of them staggering, Lin Qi stretched out his arm to block the wind, but saw that there were some small animals around him, mice, rabbits, weasels...... Their eyes trembled with horror.

Lin Qi didn't understand what he was doing in the room, so he shouted at Zhou Xing curiously: "Master, what are we doing in the room?" ”

Zhou Xing stretched out his hand and pointed forward: "Look! ”

Lin Qi looked forward, and saw a white line in the sky with a roaring sound from far to near, and in an instant, it was in front of him, and in the midst of the raging waves, those houses in the distance were like piles of mud and sand, and they were crushed and washed away by this huge wave...... Then the heavens and the earth were mighty, the heavy rain was pouring down, and in the dark clouds, Lin Qi saw a long insect-like monster tumbling and dancing.

As the waves got closer and closer, Zhou Xing lifted a few tiles, grabbed a pillar on the roof, and shouted to Lin Qi in a hissed voice: "Grab my hand, don't let go." Lin Qi hurriedly reached out and grabbed the master's right hand, but felt that these old hands had become clammy and slippery at this time.

The sky was cloudy, the turbid waves were rolling, and the monstrous waves were rolling in, mixed with a lot of beams that were washed away by the flood, broken bricks, dead people, and even large animals such as cows, horses, donkeys and sheep were also among them, accompanied by a loud bang and smashed down overwhelmingly, Lin Qi's face was pale, and he only felt that the whole sky had collapsed.

Then a huge force slapped on his back, and Lin Qi's internal organs were boiling, and he felt that he was about to die, his weak body was like a leaf in the huge waves, with the ups and downs of the waves, fortunately, Zhou Xing grabbed him tightly, he didn't let go, and he didn't know how long it had been, the flood quietly receded, Lin Qi lay on the edge of the eaves, and his whole body trembled.

"It's okay, it's okay, the master's arm is about to be broken by you." Zhou Xing leaned over and patted Lin Qi on the back, and slapped out the turbid river water he swallowed, Lin Qi vomited in the dark, his eyes were black, and the donkey face of the master in front of him became extremely kind, and for the rest of his life, Lin Qi was really a little afraid.

Lin Qi struggled to climb up, felt safe, lay down, gasped and asked, "Master, are you okay?" ”

Zhou Xing said with a sad face: "It's okay, it's okay, I was flooded once yesterday, and I flooded again today, what kind of sin is Lao Tzu doing......

Zhou Xingfa scratched Lin Qi a lot, and he didn't care, he looked around, and saw that the flood came and went quickly, but in this Jiyin County, the terrain is different, the roofs are not submerged in some places, and the water is only up to the knees in some places, and the people in the county who can run out have fled to high places, and many people are trapped on the rooftops and can't get up and down.

The heavy rain kept falling, pouring people lost their souls, and there were a lot of houses around the waterway yamen, and there were not a few people who found that the water was making trouble, and there were not a few people who carried the old and young on the roof, but they were separated by the flood, no one could go down, no one could leave, although they could hear each other, but they couldn't get together.

Lin Qi gathered the eaves of the roof with water, and saw a blistered corpse floating along the water, looked up at the sky, and felt that this thief was really ruthless, how could he bear to kill so many people?

It will be late autumn, and the rain will not end, Lin Qi's face will become blue and purple from the cold, and the upper and lower rows of teeth will fight right, so he will wait for the flood to recede, and wait for more than an hour, the water will gradually calm down, but the rain is getting heavier and heavier, everyone is soaked, and there is no place to hide in the heavy rain, starving, and crying bitterly.

It was not until the afternoon that Feng Tisi was seen with two servants, rowing a small boat to save people, and more than a dozen fishing boats behind him, those fishing boats went around to save people, Feng Tisi rowed the boat straight to pick up Lin Qi and Zhou Xing, Zhou Xing got on the boat and hurriedly asked: "Tisi, is my son okay?" ”

"Don't worry, I sent him to the county jail early this morning, where the terrain is high, and the water can't flood there."

Hearing Feng Tisi say this, Zhou Xing was relieved, and Feng Tisi said to him with a bitter face: "Dao Chief, the matter of removing Jiao can't be delayed any longer, Jiyin County is being washed away by floods, but it is really Zeguo, and I don't know how many people will die." ”

Zhou Xing saw the miserable appearance of the people around him crying and shouting, and he couldn't bear it in his heart, so he nodded and said: "I'll do it tonight, but it's not a matter of a while, it takes three days to succeed, in these three days, I eat and drink enough, I also need a quiet place to practice, but not here." ”

"Everything depends on the Tao, as long as you can get rid of the evil Jiao, what you say, it is what it is."

The two of them were muttering and discussing, when they suddenly heard someone shouting: "Oh no, the water is here again!" Everyone was shocked, and they all looked in the direction that the man was pointing to, and sure enough, there was a white line in front of them, with a roaring sound, pressing the water surface and overwhelming the sky, looking at the direction, it should be the second wave.

The torrent was so fast that before I could see it clearly, the big waves, which were higher than the roofs of the houses, were already rolling in front of me, and immediately overturned several fishing boats full of people. Feng Tisi's small boat, surrounded by the waves, suddenly flew up, Feng Tisi was so frightened that he screamed, danced with his hands, and then fell down with a bang, fell on the deck, and smashed a huge splash at the bottom of the boat, but this boat is an official boat used by the waterway Yamen to govern the river, it is very strong, and such a violent collision did not fall apart.

Even so, the hull of the ship was swept away with the undulations of the waves, until it hit the local city wall, and it was considered to stop, but this collision also caused everyone to twist and turn, embarrassed, and cry bitterly. Lin Qi was thrown out even more, and fell into the water, he didn't hurt very much, he could also water, his hands and feet moved the water, close to the official boat, his body jumped up, grabbed the boat gang, and was about to climb up.

At this time, Lin Qi felt itchy feet, he didn't care, thinking that it was a leech at the water's edge that caught his feet, so he looked at the root of his feet, it turned out that two leaves and a ball of mud stuck to the root of his feet, he turned over and got into the boat, stretched out his feet into the water and thought about washing the rotten leaves and river mud, just kicked the water twice, and saw a black mist floating on the water, to be precise, it was not a black fog that looked like a black shadow in the water and quickly rushed over to this side. But there was nothing to be seen, no sound of water and no fluctuations of water. Lin Qi didn't care, seeing that the black shadow moved in front of him, he also stretched out his feet that were sticky with leaves and black mud into the water and swung them twice, wanting to wash off the leaves and dirt at the roots of his feet like this. As he was posing, he felt a pair of hairy hands grabbing his feet and neck, and he was pulling hard to the bottom of the water.

This pull pulled Lin Qi almost into the water, and he was suddenly startled, and hurriedly turned around and grabbed the boat gang, and grabbed it tightly. But the hands in the water were also tightened, Lin Qi was shocked and sweated, and hurriedly shouted: "Master, come and save me!" ”

The ship was loaded on the city wall, and Zhou Xing's old bones were almost upside down, and he sat up dizzily, still a little confused, but he heard Lin Qi shouting, turned his head to look, and saw him grinning and kicking his legs upward, and suddenly asked in shock: "Apprentice, what are you doing?" ”

"Master, save me, there's something in the water to pull my feet." Lin Qi struggled fiercely, and several officials also saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly came up to pull him, but the thing in the water seemed to be extremely powerful, and everyone couldn't pull it even if they tried together.

Zhou Xing strode over, took out a copper hairpin taken out of the ancient tomb from his arms, lowered his head and stabbed the black shadow in the river fiercely, and he heard a squeak! With a strange scream, the black thing in the water let go of its hand and disappeared, Lin Qi was dragged onto the boat by everyone, sat and panted, and asked Zhou Xing: "Master, the strength of that thing in the river is so great, what is it?" ”

Zhou Xing sighed and said, "That's a water monkey." ”
