Chapter 8: The Night of the Beast Rain (8)
Xu Yi beckoned to Qi Bei: "Golden Crow Divine Envoy, please get on the horse." Then, sighing to himself, "Master has been in retreat for a long time and refuses to show up. I wanted to ask her to teach her how to get rid of insects, but it didn't work. β
Qi Bei looked at the birds that landed on Mrs. Bailing's arms, three or two of them chirped non-stop, and the speed and accuracy of the birds preying on poisonous insects were obvious to all. What did she want to do for Wind Landing Cityβ
"Wait! And so on and so forth! β
He yelled excitedly!
"I've figured out a way to get rid of the bugs in the city!"
Xu Yi hurriedly turned over and dismounted and rushed to Qi Bei. This time, even Xiao Xiao's head didn't turn as fast as Qi Bei, and he followed up and asked, "What did you think of?" Let's hear about it. β
Qi Bei grabbed Mrs. Bailing's hand: "Follow me!" β
"Huh-" Lady Bailing was startled, "where are you going?" β
"Taishi Mansion!"
Xiao Xiao was anxious: "What kind of solution have you come up with?" β
Qi Bei quickly rushed out of the door, without stopping at all: "Baiyu, Bainiao, yes, there are also Baihua!" Xu Yi, go wake up Miss Xin! β
--------
Taishi Mansion.
The city lord of Fenglin called himself sick, and left the pest control and other matters to the second master.
Xu Yi thought secretly: "I haven't seen Master Taishi for several days." Disasters after disasters, coupled with the death of Mrs. Taishi, Master Taishi must have been deeply affected. β
The second master first asked about the attack of poisonous insects outside the west and north city walls. Gongzi stepped forward and said, "There are still some poisonous insects that are still gathering towards the wind, but they are not allowed to advance a few feet away from the city wall, which shows that the formation is effective." β
Xu Yi said: "The only difficulty in defending the city wall now is that the remaining golden crow stone statues have not yet been found. Although Xu Yi had the formation map left by the Star Tower Lord in his hand, the stone statue left behind was not very complete, and it was not easy to find it. The western and northern walls alone take a lot of time. As for the east and south walls, the stone statues are even more broken, and it is very difficult to find them. β
The second master asked, "Is there a solution?" β
"You can only dig and rummage slowly." Xu Yi shook his head regretfully.
"It's a big project." The second master asked, "Is there any other way to resist Baiyu?" β
At this time, on the contrary, Qi Bei, who is not very bright in his head on weekdays, stood up, and he first launched Xin Xiaomei: "There is a way!" β
When everyone heard this, they were all very surprised: "What good idea did the Golden Crow Divine Envoy come up with?" β
Qi Beidao: "I saw that many pharmacists kept configuring insect repellent incense and pills, and after asking, I learned that plants such as mint and tansy have the effect of removing insects. Although the ten golden crow statues used for the defense of the city wall are not complete, if you can plant a circle of insect control plants along the wind in the city, the insects located outside the city will not come in. β
"I see! That's wonderful! Wonderful! Only then did everyone understand why they had to wake up Miss Xin overnight to discuss important matters, "Miss Xin is the god of flowers in the city, and she can make the flowers of the wrong season bloom immediately. A circle of herb flowers around the city walls is sure to be useful to ward off swarms from entering the city. As long as more time is gained, the search for the Ten Golden Crow Statues will be more likely. β
The second master immediately allowed Xu Yi to take Xin Xiaomei to consult the pharmacist first, and then plant flowers and plants under the city wall.
Don't look at Miss Xin's young age, but she is very well-behaved and sensible, and she said very decently: "As long as you can get rid of all the pesky bugs, Xin'er is willing to do it." And was praised by a lot of people.
When Mrs. Bailing heard this, she was a little sad: "Xin'er is really sensible. It was a blessing to be able to adopt her. Such a young child can still contribute to Fenglin City, but I am even more useless. β
Beside him, Qi Bei's comforting voice came: "Don't worry, the next one is you." β
"Huh?"
The problem of blocking poisonous insects on the city wall has been solved, but there is a more critical one: "Then, how to deal with the poisonous insects that have entered the city?" Could it be that he will also be forced back by the formation? β
"That's right, whether it's the Ten Golden Crow Array or Miss Xin's Hundred Flowers of Deworming, it can only block those that are still outside the city wall, and cannot eradicate those that have already entered the city."
The second old man pondered for a moment and continued to ask, "How is the situation in the city?" β
Xu Yi said: "There is a little suppression during the day, but it can be repeated again at night. These insects are all feminine and like to hide in corners that are not easy to find, and it takes a lot of effort to get rid of them one by one. β
"Hey, what is the best thing to do, do you have any plans?"
Qi Bei pulled Mrs. Bailing forward and said, "Second master, I still have a way!" β
"The Golden Crow Divine Envoy was indeed sent by the Golden Crow God to save Fenglin City! The idea just now, asking Miss Xin to plant flowers, is very wonderful. I don't know what else the Golden Crow Divine Envoy can do? Everyone hurriedly asked the Golden Crow Envoy to take a seat. Qi Bei insisted on giving up his seat to Mrs. Bailing.
"Me?" Mrs. Bailing still didn't understand why she insisted on dragging herself to the Taishi Mansion to discuss insect repellent countermeasures, and this seat was very unsteady.
Qi Bei's eyes were firm, and he solemnly pushed out the confused woman beside him: "This method is not feasible, it all depends on Mrs. Bailing!" β
Everyone was very puzzled when they heard this: "May I ask the Golden Crow Divine Envoy, what can Lady Bailing do?" β
Qi Bei, whose eyes were shining, was willing to answer the doubts of the people present.
"Just now, I found out that there were a lot of people in the porridge shed that Lady Bailing was in charge of. The large number of people gathered did not meet the city's anti-insect rules, but strangely, until now, the porridge shack had not been attacked by poisonous insects. β
The second master hurriedly asked, "Is there any secret?" β
"Of course!" Qi Bei happily showed off his secret weapon to eliminate Baiyu, "Lady Bailing was able to communicate with the birds in the sky, so she invited Huangli and sparrows to guard the porridge shed. Birds are much more efficient at catching insects than we are. Wouldn't it be a great help if you could help with the help of a hundred birds? β
Xiao Xiao was the first to understand Qi Bei's thoughts, and secretly shouted, "Yunju, you are so smart!" And on the side, he added: "What the Golden Crow Divine Envoy said is right. Everything in the world is in a state of equilibrium. In other words, there seem to be countless poisonous insects that are highly poisonous, and there are also species that can be treated in heaven and earth, which is the so-called 'natural enemy'. β
It turned out that he was really interested.
Mrs. Bailing's heart was full of warmth, and she was even a little flattered.
She only casually mentioned to Qi Bei that she wanted to do something to expel Baiyu, and he remembered it firmly, and specially made a formal suggestion to the second master in the name of the Golden Crow Divine Envoy on such a serious and important occasion.
She was very grateful to Qi Bei for his efforts, and thought happily: I am not a vase with nothing to show for me, I can really do something for Fenglin City.
Unfortunately, there are not a few voices of doubt.
The second old man half understood: "Could it be that what the Golden Crow Divine Envoy said is that birds can be invited to get rid of insects?" This method has not been used before, and every year in the farmland where the wind is close to the land, from the time of sowing, there are farmers who use birds to repel insects. But what is there in the city is a hundred dragons, highly poisonous things, can the birds deal with it? β
