On the streets of Jincheng, there are many people.

Qiao Xuan and Xi He walked side by side along the street, and the shouts of the vendors came and went.

On a high platform, a masked singer is stroking the piano and singing, and a dancer in a bright red dress is dancing happily.

There was a circle of people in the audience.

Qiao Xuan and Xi He couldn't help but stop when they walked from afar, this lively scene seemed to be celebrating a certain festival, which made people feel happy.

Suddenly, the crowd became agitated, and someone shouted, "The river is starting to rise again, the river is starting to rise again!" ”

Then the people began to run in one direction, and the music and singing on the stage were intercepted, and several women fell to the ground as if they had lost their souls.

Qiao Xuan glanced at Xi He, "Follow and have a look!" ”

They followed the crowd and didn't run a few steps before they heard a movement behind them, and the two of them turned their heads at the same time to see several big men rushing up to the stage and tying up several women on the stage.

What's the situation? Qiao Xuan frowned, several women didn't struggle at all, and obediently let others tie them up.

This scene is full of weirdness.

"Let's go!" Xi He and Qiao Xuan had the same doubts, and when several women were taken off the stage and thrown on the board car, the two did not hesitate to turn around, gave up following the large army, and followed the board cars that were pulling the women.

The road became more and more deviant, and the two followed cautiously.

Several small boats by the river were full of flowers, a black sedan chair was parked by the river, and the men pulled the cart and walked over and whispered something next to the sedan chair.

Then the women were tied hand and foot and placed on the flower boat.

Not far away, a large crowd of people was standing, looking this way with their necks outstretched.

Qiao Xuan and Xi He pretended to be watching the lively people and mixed in.

A carriage rushed over and stopped next to the sedan chair, someone in the carriage got down, and Qiao Xuan's eyes widened.

Xi He's face was also surprised at the same time.

One of the people who came down was Qiao Yuan, and the other was a Taoist priest in a Taoist robe.

Qiao Xuan had a bad feeling in his heart, and when no one noticed that he felt a talisman from his sleeve, the talisman paper spontaneously combusted without fire, turning into ashes in the blink of an eye.

She frowned, and her scrutinizing gaze fell on the surface of the Dayuan River, which was not calm.

"What's wrong?" Xi He asked.

"I'm afraid there's something in this river, look" She stuffed another talisman into Xi He's hand, and her finger swiped it in front of Xi He's eyes, and then Xi He saw that the surface of the river was surging and churning, and bursts of black gas were overflowing.

"Not good!" Suddenly, Qiao Xuan's lips moved, and his body rushed out at once.

Xi He saw her rush to Qiao Yuan's side in the blink of an eye, and threw out a long whip in her hand, which seemed to be given life in her hand, swinging flexibly in the air.

Several boats that had been pushed out and immediately swept into the river were pulled back by her one by one.

The face of the man in a Taoist robe darkened suddenly, and he wanted to step forward to stop it, but was flexibly avoided by Qiao Xuan.

"Nonsense! Monkey business! Where did the troublemaker come out, city lord, you can't let her go, if Jincheng is flooded, all blame her. ”

The people in the sedan chair couldn't sit still, and they lifted the sedan curtain and came out, he was Cao Yongan, the city lord of Jincheng in the mouth of the Taoist, with white hair, a majestic complexion, and the momentum of the superior was very strong.

Qiao Yuan's heart was about to jump out on the side, "Xuan'er, stop it!" What are you doing? ”

"Who came up with the idea? To sacrifice a living human life to that thing in the river? ”

After Qiao Xuan saved someone, he looked at Cao Yongan with a cold expression, and his tone was more reproachful and questioning.

"Is that you?"

She glanced at the Taoist priest, the Taoist priest was dodged by her eyes, and the next moment he was tied up and thrown on the boat, Qiao Xuan pushed the boat hard, and the boat had already floated out a short distance under the action of the water waves.

"Ah~ Help! Help me! Help, city lord! ”

Cao Yongan was unmoved by the hoarse shouts on the river, and his scrutinizing gaze fell straight on Qiao Xuan's fearless face.

"It's a ghost idea you came up with, so let's give it to yourself as a gift!"

Qiao Xuan hooked his lips and sneered.

Qiao Yuan's legs were frightened, and he knelt straight down, "City Lord spare your life!" My daughter is still young, please don't worry about her. ”

"Let's quickly let someone rescue the Wang Daoist!"

Qiao Xuan then turned his head to look at Qiao Yuan, "This is what you call water control?" ”

"At the cost of innocent women's lives?" She disagreed, and although she was angry, she still stepped forward and pulled Qiao Yuan up from the ground.

"The river demon's desires are endless, could it be that you are still planning to send a few little girls over every year or every month?"

She didn't ask what they had done before, because the answer was obvious, and even the people of the city were familiar with it.

"Then what should I do with the girl?" Cao Yongan finally spoke, his thin fingers caressing his white beard, looking scheming.

"Except for it, of course, once and for all."

Qiao Xuan's face was by the river, and his eyes were full of coldness.

She can't talk about this kind of thing, she must get rid of the ghosts in the river.

"But your water really should be cured, and the river is not all because of the things in the river and the topography."

After a pause, Qiao Xuan added.

"You might fix it?"

Cao Yongan glanced at the lonely boat in the river, the Taoist priest had disappeared and was swallowed by the river.

"Nature is okay" Qiao Xuan looked at the riverside and found that the riverside that should have been a turquoise area turned out to be yellow flowers and plants, without any vitality.

"Xuan'er, don't mess around! Hurry up and go back with Xi He" Qiao Yuan glanced at Qiao Xuan vigorously, not wanting Qiao Xuan to be involved.

At this critical moment, he seemed to have forgotten that the person in front of him was different from his daughter, and wanted to do his best to protect Qiao Xuan.

"Qiao Bo, believe Xiao Xuan, she said that if she can, she will definitely be able to!"

Xi He walked over and chose to believe Qiao Xuan without hesitation.

Qiao Yuan was about to die in a hurry, and because the city lord was not good at saying too much beside him, he could only be in a hurry.

"That's it! Old Joe, since your daughter said she could, let her give it a try! It doesn't matter if it doesn't work, I won't bother with her. ”

Cao Yongan's eyes are so vicious, he has already seen Qiao Xuan's ability in his eyes when Qiao Xuan rushed over.

Besides, what Qiao Xuan said was right, Jincheng really couldn't always use the method of sacrificing young lives to stabilize the monsters in the river.

This time, if you succeed or not, you have to give it a try.
