Chapter 138: The Lock

Qi Jing lifted the golden-eyed water claw in one hand, supported the witch goddess in the other, and kept stepping on his feet fiercely, and finally broke through the river and saw the light of day again after half an hour.

At this moment, both sides of the Xun River are already crowded with people, and there are people in the distance who are coming in an endless stream, seeing Qi Jingzhi and several people stepping out of the water, the crowd is sensational and noisy.

However, as the young swordsman stepped foot on the river bank step by step, many people saw his green ghost armor clearly, and saw the golden-eyed water claw with a shrivelled body and a weak breath in his hand.

The shouting and chattering gradually weakened, and finally fell silent.

The goddess stumbled two steps, and suddenly fell to the ground as if she had no bones, and spat out the murky river water from her mouth.

Not far in front of her, more than a dozen wounded people were lying on the river beach, and several doctors were busy around these people, who should be medicated, bandaged and splinted, looking extremely busy.

Among these doctors, there are not only the doctors who are sitting in the museum, but also the wandering Lang Langzhong who sells medicine in the rivers and lakes.

Qi Jingzhi looked around and saw that although the people gathered on the shore were silent, the expressions on their faces were different.

Most of them didn't dare to look at the silver-armored ghost-faced young swordsman, so they set their eyes on the golden-eyed water claw.

In the strange silence, some people looked resentful, some people looked happy, some people were frightened and even quietly burrowed into the crowd behind them, and more people were curious and excited, stretching their necks and squeezing their feet forward.

Together, hundreds of eyes seemed to become extremely heavy. Rao is temperament is ferocious and obedient like a golden-eyed water claw, but he also felt a little uncomfortable, his body twisted slightly, and he closed the golden strange eyes.

Qi Jing took a few steps forward, let go of his right hand, and let the golden-eyed water claw fall to the ground, lying side by side with a bloodstained boatman.

Seeing this scene, someone in the crowd, who had been quiet for a long time, suddenly shouted, "Good fight!"

When the words fell, the onlookers were quiet for a moment, and suddenly there was a tsunami and cheers.

Qi Jingzhi couldn't help but be surprised, and immediately saluted the crowd, which immediately attracted a cheer, from near to far, for a long time.

Wei Yingdian and Otter Gong hurriedly greeted them, the former was in high spirits, and the latter was gloomy.

Wei Yingdian held a bowl of rice wine in his hand, and laughed loudly as he walked, "Brother Xian fought well! These water gods have been domineering for a long time, and they are the ones who give the Ministry of Rites the most problems every year, but there are few water mansions that are a little bigger, and now they dare to wantonly oppress the people, it is long overdue to learn some lessons!"

As he spoke, he handed the wine bowl to Qi Jingzhi with both hands: "I haven't had time to do a great job for the virtuous brother, so now I will congratulate the virtuous brother with this bowl of Qu'a Huang wine!"

Qi Jingzhi also took it with both hands, handed the wine bowl to his mouth and drank it all, the green ghost mask on his face was completely unhindered, and Wei Yingdian was amazed.

The otter on the side bent down first to look at the golden-eyed water clam, and saw that although it was miserable, it couldn't die for a while, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

He straightened up, half happy and half regretful, and said, "Finally, you have a measured hand, and there is still room for redemption in this matter."

"Brother Wei wait, wait until this matter is over, and then drink with my brother!"

Qi Jingzhi handed the wine bowl back to Wei Yingdian, and smiled at the reed father: "I don't dare to be honored when I am young, but the reed master still calls me Qi Jingzhi." At present, there are wounded people on both sides everywhere, and it is really inconvenient to go to the county to report to the officials, and the county is afraid that it will not be able to make decisions. I also have to work hard to inform the county guard, the demon suppressor and the Xunjiang water god, so that these adults can come here to discuss a charter."

"Qi is sitting here today, I will bear the consequences, and I will never pat my ass and run, so that the people of Qu'a Town will be affected in vain."

So he went and found a square stone and sat down.

"What did the virtuous brother say?"

Wei Yingdian stomped his feet and immediately followed: "Xunyang County is the land of the foolish brother, and the virtuous brother is the head of the father and elder in my township, how can you bear it afterwards?" It's still the same sentence, if the god of Jiang condemns the crime, the foolish brother is willing to share it with you!"

The otter also followed

He shook his head and said, "I'm afraid those adults won't come!" The old man had said before that the position of the lake god in Qujiang Houhu was a chess piece laid by the imperial court in the Xunjiang series."

As he spoke, his eyes looked at the golden-eyed water claw on the ground on the side: "It and the old man who guards the lake are naturally the pawns of the river god and the lake god. Now that our chess pieces are not damaged, and our faces have not really been torn, even if this matter is not a big problem, how can the chess player behind it personally end the game?"

Qi Jingzhi was stunned when he heard this, pointed to the golden-eyed water claw and asked, "This is also called undamaged?"

He pointed to the wounded again, "Isn't that a big deal?"

The otter nodded reasonably: "The reason why the chess pieces are chess pieces is only because they are on the chessboard and stand in the position where the chess player fell at the beginning.

"It's easy to break the tacit understanding between this river and county, but it's hard to repair it. Either the adults will come together, or none of them will come, at least until the situation becomes clear, and I am afraid that no one will come rashly because of the message of the old decay."

The otter also stretched out his hand to the wounded: "Now I have only injured so many people, and I have only injured but not died, so it is not a big ...... in any case."

Wei Yingdian on the side had been a Beijing official after all, and he had a lot of knowledge, and he understood what the Otter Gong meant when he heard it, but when he looked at the other party, he couldn't help but be suspicious, and immediately interrupted: "It's a good situation before it is clear! The otter didn't want to pry my brother and give that evil obstacle to ......."

Wei Yingdian made a gesture to wipe his neck: "In this way, won't the chess pieces of the Xunjiang Water God be damaged? Isn't it clear that things are getting bigger? Naturally, those adults can no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb, and they must rush over in a hurry!"

"What is that? Is the old man such a wicked villain?"

Hearing this, the Otter Gong couldn't help but be angry: "If Brother Qi had killed this divine servant by mistake for a while out of righteous indignation, or on the boat or at the bottom of the river, it would be somewhat excusable, and the county princes and the demon suppressor would still be able to turn around on his behalf. If we want to do it now, we won't take care of it! Are you really afraid that the Jiang God will be angry, and there will be a flood that will be monstrous and eroded for hundreds of miles?"

"Don't think that the old decay is alarmist, it is only a matter of one or two hundred years that the two sides of the Xun River have really stabilized! The current Jiang Shen is a rare good temper, but no matter how good his temper is, he is also the Jiang God, the lord of the Xun River and the god of the country!"

As he spoke, he glanced at Qi Jing with some concern, and his tone was full of reminder and persuasion: "Compared to the real tearing face, now it is just a divine servant and a dozen ordinary people begging for a living on the river, it is really nothing!"

Qi Jingzhi couldn't help but be silent when he heard this.

Although there is a coldness soaked in the bone marrow in the words of the otter man, it makes sense when you think about it. No matter what those big people think about in their own official hats and positions or the lives and deaths of more people in their jurisdiction, I am afraid that they will not act rashly and cause misunderstanding on the other side, but will restrain the struggle between each other at the bottom and maintain a fight without breaking, which is the safest.

"Based on righteous indignation...... Missed in the minute? In the future, when I meet someone who wants to die, I will know what to do!"

Qi Jingzhi nodded at the otter man, and saw the old man looking at him with his mouth open, his face full of indescribable expressions.

Qi Jingzhi didn't wait for the other party to speak, and suddenly changed his words: "Otter Gong, what if there is a chess piece that is selfish and deceives the master, and almost overturns the chessboard? Can these chess players still sit still?"

He said and pointed to the water of the river: "There is a monument to the town of Jiaojiao hidden at the bottom of the river here, which is erected by Pang Mei, the capital of the Great Qi Hook Chen Yuan. Somehow, the inscription was damaged, and it was discovered and occupied by this evil barrier, and it did not allow the people to fish nearby, not necessarily for its caviar, but to cover up the traces and monopolize its profits!"

Regarding the so-called "selfishness and betrayal of the master" in Qi Jingzhi's mouth, the otter was originally a little unimpressed, only saying that he was talking about the rules of banning fishing.

He immediately said in a deep voice: "If Brother Qi's words are true, it should be the act of opening the lake that has changed the topography of the surrounding water veins, which has caused the town to make a mistake. Once the slightest misdisposal is made, it will be brewed

A catastrophe of natural disasters has made this river and a lake a ghost!"

As he said this, the otter turned his head sharply to look at the golden-eyed water cricket, and his eyes were already a little fierce. Xun River and Qu Ahou Lake are connected, and they are so close to each other, he bears the responsibility of guarding the lake, and there are no eggs under the nest?

Qi Jingzhi stood aside, carefully observing the changes in the face of the otter man, and saw that his expression did not seem to be fake, and it was indeed not like he had known it for a long time.

This made Qi Jing's heart slightly relieved, but he still didn't rush to inform the lake keeper of the matter that Jiao Sha had been eliminated, but shook his head: "If it is really as the otter said, it may not be a natural disaster, it may not be a man-made disaster!"

"Huh? Man-made disaster!"

Hearing the word "man-made disaster", the face of the otter became more and more pale, obviously thinking of a more terrifying possibility, that is, when the lake was originally opened, someone harbored evil intentions, deliberately concealed the existence of the Zhensha Monument, and even made the relevant insiders keep silent, and took advantage of the sound when the lake was opened to cover up, moved on the terrain of the water veins, and quietly released the Jiaosha.

The Laker immediately shook his head firmly, and even said a little violently: "This is absolutely impossible! I don't know how many people are staring at such a big thing as opening a lake, and it is as difficult as climbing to the sky if they want to do something in it without being discovered! It must be because this monument is so old that no one can remember it, so something went wrong......

The otter suddenly paused, his face became extremely ugly, even if the matter was really as he said, no one was making trouble behind his back, but once the matter became big and reached the ears of the lord of the country, the former county guard and future lake god who personally checked the terrain and invited the lake to open the lake would have to fall into a crime of negligence!

Although there has been no disaster yet, the position of the lake god is in front, and impeachment and attack are indispensable in the court!

This change in the mood of the Otter Gong is not something that Qi Jingzhi can figure out in a hurry.

He just said that this matter was a man-made disaster, but in fact, it was not as far-reaching as the other party thought.

He just felt that the two most critical words on the Zhensha Monument had obviously been deliberately destroyed, the word "Pang" on the dragon court and the word "eyebrow" on the forehead were obviously worn compared to other places, which was definitely not a coincidence.

As for who did it, it may be the evil obstacle of the golden-eyed water clam, or maybe someone else, but in short, there is no good intention.

Fortunately, there are not many remnants of the Jiaosha, and they were secretly eaten and monopolized by the golden-eyed water clams, and did not set off any waves.

From this point of view alone, although the golden-eyed water claw may not have the heart to protect the people, it has invisibly fulfilled its duty of guarding.

It's just that looking at the actions of the group of Jiao Jiao who is desperate to devour the host, you can know how big the hidden danger of the "conscientious" of the golden-eyed water claw is, if there is no bronze small mirror plough court to sweep the holes, Xunjiang will definitely have many things in the future.

Thinking of this, Qi Jingzhi shook his head and said, "What is the inside story of this matter, there is no way to know in a hurry, but after all, the stakes are very high, so the otter should send the message first, and then make plans when you adults come, just to solve the two things of concealing this evil obstacle and not reporting it, and recklessly hurting people."

Hearing this, the otter immediately shook his head and lowered his voice, "The old man thinks that it is better not to publicize this matter. In my opinion, since this town monument is at the bottom of the Xunjiang River, we can't manage it too widely, and it is enough to inform the Xunjiang Water God in private......

Qi Jingzhi was immediately stunned, it could be said that it was a tacit understanding at the top and tried to avoid conflicts, even if he sent a message, he would not come, but now that he has told part of the inside story, this Laker also knows that Jiao's dispersion is very important, and he is still unwilling to pass on the letter?

Qi Jingzhi couldn't help but be suspicious, and immediately turned his head to look at Wei Yingdian: "Brother Wei thinks this matter should be handled properly?"

Wei Yingdian listened quietly for a long time, and he had heard more or less of the court battle, and at this time, he knew better than Qi Jingzhi in his heart.

He glanced at the reed man with a strange face, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, how could the lake-keeper in front of him still have the appearance of such a worldly master before?

The smiling white hair is still entangled, and the red dust is not enough to fish!

This lakekeeper is already full of gray hair, but he is still tightly bound by fame and fortune, and he seems to be fishing by the river every day, drinking rice wine and white chickens, and he is free

Live a tight life, but the red dust that should be contaminated has never been less than half of it, even more than ordinary people!

After a little mover, this open-minded and free temperament, who had resigned from his official position and returned to his hometown in the prime of life, sighed lightly, and said with a very rare solemn face: "This is a big matter, and it is a matter of life and death for hundreds of people, how can my generation be selfish and arbitrary? The otter said that he wanted to inform Jiang Shen, which is naturally good, please act quickly!"

He paused, and then looked at Qi Jingzhi: "Since the virtuous brother is a member of the Linzhou Town Demon Academy, and this time he is going out on business, if you want to come here, there must be an emergency communication method, please use it immediately, please Xunyang County Town Demon Commander hurry up!"

"As for the county guard, he may not be willing to wade into the troubled waters of his predecessor, it is the same whether he comes or not!"
