Chapter 302: Variables by the Canal

Not to mention that Jiang Lang went to Longjun to ask for instructions, at this moment in Lingdong, on the ground, a heavy rain just after it made everyone from the officials down to the people happy.

Qi Zhongbin and Ash Mian had already gone to an old farmer's house in the village to hide from the rain.

The old farmer's wife disappeared in the flood, and the body has not been found, the daughter married to the village is safe, and the son has not yet married a wife, and is digging ditches and wells everywhere with the team of Zhenxing Sima.

During this time, the old farmer was at home alone, and today Qi Zhongbin was sheltering from the rain, and he could be regarded as a person to talk to.

But at this moment, the rain has stopped, and Qi Zhongbin has also said goodbye and is ready to go out.

Hearing that Qi Zhongbin was leaving, the old farmer was surprised.

"Alas, brother, are you going out so late? It's getting dark, so stay overnight and eat at home! ”

By the time the rain stopped, it was already getting dark.

Although life is difficult now, on the one hand, the imperial court has some relief, and on the other hand, many people have laborers at home to work for the imperial court, and it is not a big problem for people to sustain themselves with the money and food they earn, and they also have spare energy to entertain guests for a meal.

"No, I still have something to do, and it will be delayed if I don't leave for a long time, thank you brother for leaving me sheltered from the rain!"

Qi Zhongbin solemnly arched his hand at the door, went out in the old man's retention, and made another salute outside the courtyard before striding away.

The rain filled the village with a joyful atmosphere, and even made many village men take a luxurious bath shirtless in the rain, and some chatting voices in the village were also full of joy at this moment.

As soon as Qi Zhongbin, who said goodbye to the old farmer, left the village, the speed under his feet suddenly became faster.

The body turned into the wind and blew along the road into the distance.

"The water vapor is dissipating quickly, that thing is doing trouble again, Qi boy, this is a good opportunity to find it, the insect demon is not a climate, you can put it off for the time being!"

Gray Mian has a very keen grasp of damp water vapor.

"Hmm!"

Qi Zhongbin naturally knows the difference between the importance of things, and he understands the current situation better, this heavy rain can only quench his thirst for a while.

Even if there is no cloud, but Qi Zhongbin is already familiar with the road when he turns into the wind, and the speed can even be compared with the ordinary wind, but it is inconvenient for the wind to blow too high.

Gray Mian stood on Qi Zhongbin's shoulder, feeling the change in the qi of Shuize, and also looked up at the sky in the distance, how did this rain fall, it was clear in its heart.

Listening to the distant dragon chant reveals a sense of familiarity, needless to say, it must be that the gentleman has changed into a dragon to give rain, which is not only to solve the urgent need of the dry earth, but also to show the way to the apprentice.

"Qi boy, it's hard for the rain to drift north, it must be in the north, most likely in Dengzhou!"

Qi Zhongbin's body turned into wind at a very fast speed, but when he was about to reach the boundary of Dengzhou, he slowly slowed down.

"What's wrong, Qi boy?"

Qi Zhongbin's figure manifested from the wind, frowned at the silent road on the barren plain in front of him, and then looked back at Yunzhou.

"If we look for it like this, we may not be able to find it, although that thing is tired of water, it also dissipates water, and now the whole Lingdong is the most abundant in Yunzhou and the south, will it come?"

"So where are you going to wait? This thing can't be counted."

Qi Zhongbin thought for a moment and looked at the hills to the south.

"The entire route of the Lingdong canal has been completely measured by Sima Fu, and once it rains, the place where the water flows together must be a drought-resistant canal."

Sima Fu temporarily blocked some small rivers and connected them with canals, so that the water could be used to the greatest extent and would not be scattered into the large river full of silt and difficult to irrigate, although it was still a network, it was definitely not a needle in a haystack.

β€”β€”

Next to the woodland on the outskirts of Qiancang County, Yunzhou, a group of five people are resting here.

On the outside of the woodland is a five-foot-wide canal, and beyond that there are patches of farmland.

At night, there are insects chirping and birds chirping from time to time in the fields and forests, but this makes the place more secluded, because the rain and the weather are cooler, so that these little creatures are rejuvenated.

"Bang la la lah."

A woman dipped her feet into the flowing canal and felt a burst of coolness.

"Ah, it's so comfortable, I haven't felt like this for a long time since I came to Lingdong!"

The woman said this by kicking the water, and a relaxed look appeared on her face.

The rest of the people were just smiling, some were resting with their eyes closed, some were eating, and one of the men in the power suit was simply tied with a hairband, with a short beard, looking up at the stars in the sky.

If Yi Shuyuan was here, he would definitely be able to recognize that this is Mai Lingfei, who he hasn't seen for ten years, and now he is more mature and has more vicissitudes.

"It's finally raining heavily!"

One of the people on the side also laughed.

"Those people who pretend to be gods and ghosts will deceive the people, hey, obviously God can't see it, slaughter a few, but it rains!"

"Yes, look at how they still deceive and hurt people!"

Naturally, some of them are pure liars, and some are slightly capable, but the degree of harm is comparable, and even some pure liars ask for boys and girls to sacrifice to the sky, and they don't know the evil law they have heard.

However, you can fool and scare the people, but it is impossible to fool everyone, you boast of your ability, but a "kill" word falls, a human head hangs, and I don't see how powerful you are.

"But brother, is this Lingdong really a catastrophe from the sky, there is a flood in front, a plague in the back, and now it is a drought, and there are still places where I heard that many locusts have been born, and there may be a locust plague."

The man looking at the starry sky sighed and looked at the woman by the canal.

How can such a thing be explained in a few words? Some people say that the emperor does not cultivate virtue because of the catastrophe that falls from heaven, but when today's son is a well-deserved good emperor, how much can such superstitious words be credible? ”

"Also, even my father said that today's son is a rare good emperor throughout the ages."

Mai Lingfei smiled.

"Why don't you stay at home if you listen to your father so much? You listen to your father so much, why don't you get married in your twenties? ”

The face on the woman's face suddenly froze, and the other three people on the side couldn't help but smile.

"Hmph, I used to listen to it, but now when it comes to martial arts and experience, I don't lag behind, why can't I do something? As for getting married, okay, I don't ask for anything else, even older, but at least you can beat me, right? ”

As soon as he heard this, Mai Lingfei couldn't help but sigh again.

One misstep turned into a thousand years of hatred, he shouldn't have been so serious about his sister's martial arts in the first place.

Now after many years of hard work, a daughter's family, which is not bad, is now difficult to meet opponents.

To say that no one can beat Mai Ake is naturally nonsense, but now she is indeed extremely high in martial arts, who can beat her? Martial arts celebrities, older people, and families account for at least two or even three points.

Mai Lingfei couldn't help but look at the three people around him, these three are also good at the rivers and lakes, and their martial arts character are outstanding, although they are not Ah Ke's opponents, but they may be able to fall in love for a long time, which is one of the reasons why he agreed to take Mai Ah Ke out.

However, when he saw Mai Daxia in the moonlight, the three of them avoided his sight one by one.

Obediently, none of them was moved when they first saw Mai Ake, but now they don't dare to think anything about Miss Mai.

To put it mildly, it is better than Mai Ake, and there will be no harmony between the bed.

Seeing the reactions of these three people, Mai Lingfei couldn't help but sigh silently, alas, but he was going to be blamed to death by his elders.

Suddenly, Mai Lingfei's face changed slightly and he looked into the distance.

Seeing his brother's reaction, Mai Ake immediately grabbed the boots beside him, and then went barefoot on the ground a little and quietly jumped to a tree in the forest.

Almost at the same time, several people by the canal had disappeared, and there was no superfluous sound during the whole process.

And a few people restrained all their breath, and even the pores around their bodies were closed, just like some cultivators concealed their breath, this method was also taught by Mai Lingfei, and it was invincible to deal with some demonic warlocks and evil ways.

If a cultivator looks at the woodland, it is even difficult to notice that the path is poor or not paying attention.

"Buzz, buzz."

At this moment, a strange sound came from afar, as if there were many insects flapping their wings.

The people on the trees looked into the distance by the light of the stars and the moon, and could see that the black pressure was flying towards this direction, and the woods and fields here were full of delicious food.

Locust?

Mai Lingfei and the others were shocked, and they already understood.

Well? Wrong!

"Everyone, be careful, it's weird!"

The eyesight of several people is very amazing, especially Mai Lingfei is almost equivalent to reaching the innate realm, although he has not really broken through, but because of the pure heart technique, before that layer of bottlenecks comes, a considerable part of the internal force has been transformed into innate true qi.

So Mai Lingfei saw that there was a deep shadow in the black and oppressive insect swarm.

"Buzz, buzz."

Insect swarms flew all over the world, and soon, locusts were everywhere in the forest, on the ground, and at the water's edge, and even insects flew over the hiding places of several people.

The shadow also reached the edge of the canal, and one by one the locusts fell on several people.

At this moment, the shadow seemed to shake a little, and suddenly looked up at the tree.

On several big trees in the forest, the five of them all looked almost terrified, and the shadow on the ground turned out to be a huge locust more than two feet long!

It's a youkai!?

At the moment when the monster raised its head, the originally dilated pupils of Mai Lingfei and the others all shrank suddenly, and they reacted immediately.

Mai Lingfei directly shot three darts downward, one shot at the top of the door, two shot at the conspicuous compound eye, and then broke the big tree with one palm, holding the trunk and throwing it down.

"Whoosh~" "When~" "When~"

"Poof~"

Two darts were screened by the insect hand, and one dart actually hit the compound eye.

"Roarβ€”"

"Boom~"

When the trunk of the big tree shot down, the insect demon in place had already disappeared and appeared next to several people who fell elsewhere.

Several people showed their blades one after another, one of them crossed his long sword and his broadsword, holding up a swept insect leg, and the other and Mai Ake dropped their swords left and right, and all the cooperation was just a matter of the same moment.

"When~" "When~"

The sword slashed on the locust's leg and made a sound of gold and iron clashing, and it was directly shaken away!

"Warrior. I ate you."

"What a monster!"

"Let's goβ€”"

Mai Lingfei roared and attacked again from behind, and the insect demon had already avoided ten zhang in one leap, followed by endless locusts flying into the sky.

Don't say it's night, even if it's daytime, the locusts at this moment are covering the sky and the sun, blocking all the sight of the five people.

"Oh no, runβ€”uh"

The shouter had already let out a cry of pain before his words fell, which made the rest of the people frightened and anxious, but except for Mai Lingfei who left for a sound, the rest of the people avoided the distance left in their intuition before their sight disappeared!

Fighting against monsters made several people feel a sense of fear and powerlessness, even Mai Lingfei was extremely eager at the moment, and a kind of killing intent and crisis always surrounded him.

There are even more locusts that come and go, as if they have become a wall that envelops all sides, making it difficult for Mai Lingfei to move an inch.

Hmph, youkai don't necessarily mean you can't fight!

At this moment, Mai Lingfei knew that he must not be afraid, and the internal force in his body was surging, and an astonishing momentum rose from his body, and this aura was so terrifying that the locusts avoided it one after another, and even more shocked the insect demons in the dark.

An innate martial artist among mortals? In other words, innate martial artists are not pure mortals!

"Woo."

A strange wind blew from the north, and some locusts fell from the sky in the distance without a sound, and the water in the canal seemed to shallow at a speed visible to the naked eye
