Chapter 206: The Great Vortex
Because she thought too much, the woman barely slept all night. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info and also didn't sleep, there is also Fang Hong.
In the center of the Luotang River, a circle of water flows, as if controlled by an invisible force, rotated around a point. And in a place that everyone couldn't see, Fang Hong's divine body stood there.
"Shhh Fang Hong opened his mouth and inhaled, and from above the water, a cool breath rose, and he couldn't stop wrapping around his divine body.
Tonight, he used the possession technique more than a dozen times in a row, and his mental consumption was a bit large. At the same time, Yang Jingye's blood qi was too condensed, although it couldn't hurt his divine body, but it was not good to burn on his body.
Fang Hong swallowed on the surface of the water for nearly half an hour before he felt that the burning sensation on his body had subsided. Water destroys all things, but it also nourishes all things. This is mainly because he failed to completely refine the Luotang River, if he truly becomes this river god, the river imprint will be condensed in the depths of his soul. At that time, the cool and nourishing qi will be endless, even if Yang Jingye's blood is strong, it will not hurt him.
After the divine body returned to normal, Fang Hong's thoughts once again expanded endlessly, enveloping the entire river, and continued to refine.
Now, he has refined about sixty percent of the Luotang River, although he has not obtained the position of the river god, but the power of the water flow that he can control far exceeds that of before, as long as he wants, he can flood Changning County at any time.
However, this matter is too hurtful to the heavens, although Fang Hong doesn't know if there is any heavenly punishment or anything like that now, but the luck of the imperial court will definitely not allow him, and he will not be stripped of his divine position alive.
The night passed in a blink of an eye. As soon as the sky was bright, on the Gongjiang River, a black trough boat slowly rowed across the water and came in the direction of Changning County.
On the bow of the boat, there stood a man wearing a black veil and a blue official robe, about forty years old, with three locks of long beard under his chin, and the river wind blew on his body, blowing his clothes uncontrollably.
Behind him stood a number of officials, armed with waist knives, with serious faces.
"Liu Yushi, the front is the Luotang River, but in recent days, there is a whirlpool at the junction of the Luotang River and the Gongjiang River, the boat is not easy to pass, we will get off the boat in front of the place for a while, and change to a sedan chair into Changning County. At that moment, a servant came from behind and spoke in a low voice.
"Whirlpool? I've also been to Changning, and I used to be able to enter the Luotang River directly from the Gongjiang River, how could a whirlpool suddenly appear?" Liu Yushi was a little surprised, so he asked curiously.
"I don't know, but some people rumor that it was Changning County that built a barrage dam to block the river, resulting in a whirlpool here, and merchant ships from all over the country were not allowed to enter, and many people had to transfer to land from here. The servant told him some of the news he had heard.
"This Changning County is quite good at tossing, and it started to build the embankment without making a sound, and I don't know how much people's fat and ointment were used. Liu Yushi chuckled, his eyes looked into the distance, and in his line of sight, a bifurcated estuary could be faintly seen.
"Yes, fortunately, you, Liu Yushi, are here, otherwise, the people here don't know what they will be tossed intos. The official nodded and slapped a sycophant quietly.
"I'm here to investigate Li Baiqing's death, and I'll take a look at the matter of building the dam. "A few days ago, the new Changning County Commander died, although the county government reported that he had fallen into the water and died accidentally. But after all, it was the sudden death of the imperial court official, and someone must be sent down to check it.
"You Liu Qingtian can't rub sand in his eyes, if Changning County really oppresses the people, you will definitely not care. The official smiled and continued to pat his ass.
"Well, don't say that, you sail to the whirlpool, I want to see it. Liu Yushi waved his hand and commanded below.
"What are you doing, the whirlpool in front is quite big, if the ship approaches, I'm afraid it will be sucked over, and you can't advance or retreat. The official hurriedly stopped and said.
"Drive over. Liu Yushi glanced at him, and his voice became a little heavier.
"Yes. Seeing that Liu Yushi was a little unhappy, the official immediately nodded and ran down in small steps.
Since Liu Yushi has spoken, of course the people on this ship have to obey, and the ship continues to move forward. After about half an hour, he was less than three hundred feet away from the whirlpool.
Of course, the water volume of the Luotang River is far from that of the Gongjiang River, but at the place where the river is divided, it is still about 30 zhang wide. And in such a wide place, a huge whirlpool, not much about the same, was slowly spinning.
The vast river was propelled by a tremendous force, and the center of the whirlpool was invisible, pitch black, as if everything that came close would be swallowed up.
Everyone watching from the boat was shocked. Such a huge whirlpool is really terrifying. If you get involved, there is no way to escape.
"Let's go, let's go by land. Liu Yushi was also shocked, in such a dangerous place, he didn't dare to risk his life. He immediately gave the order to go down, and the man at the helm immediately changed direction and prepared to land from one side.
Just as they were about to change direction, the river wind suddenly increased considerably, blowing the ship in the direction of the whirlpool. In this summer and autumn, the weather is changing.
In other places, they could have taken it in stride, but here it was close to the whirlpool, and when the wind blew, it could easily capsize.
Everyone on the boat was unstable, and if Liu Yushi hadn't held the side of the boat with one hand, he would have fallen down just now.
"Quick, lower the canvas!" the helmsman hurriedly ordered a few people to lower the canvas that blew the wind. Originally, the river was blowing a light wind, and the sails were fully open, so that they could borrow their strength to walk. But if you dare to hang the canvas at this time, you are looking for death.
"Lord Liu, hurry into the cabin to avoid injury. Several officials helped Liu Yushi and walked inside. At the same time, they are also so as not to hinder the boatmen's work.
"Good...... Good. Liu Yushi helped his crooked black gauze hat, his face was a little frightened, and he couldn't help but curse in his heart, if he had known that this place was so dangerous, he wouldn't have come to see this whirlpool if he was killed.
While the ship was in chaos, the wind grew stronger and stronger, and even though the sails were lowered, the ship was still firmly leaning towards the whirlpool. In fact, this is not only due to the river breeze, but also related to the river water here. When it was about two hundred feet away from the whirlpool, the river water had been affected, and it kept dragging the things around it, and the closer it got, the greater the force of this drag.
