Chapter 247: The Toad Army
"Ahh
In the morning, Ying Wuxin was woken up by a woman's scream, put on a piece of clothing and rushed out, in the corridor of the inn, Li Zhengdao stood there in white clothes like snow, comforting Sun Xiaoman in his arms.
"What's going on?" Wang Banxian woke up in a daze, walked to the door, rubbed his eyes, looked outside, just glanced at it, and couldn't help but jump up in surprise.
"Oh my God. ”
Bang –
Then Wang Banxian closed the door.
Ying Wuxin stood at the door, looking at the corridor outside, his brows furrowed deeply, on the ground of the wooden plank, there were more than a dozen toads lying there, full of pimple skin, which looked particularly terrifying, coupled with bulging big eyes, it made people feel uncomfortable looking at it.
Toads are generally big and small, the big fists are as big, and the small ones are only as small as eggs, which are common, but the toads here are all fist-sized sizes, and they look a little abnormal.
At this moment, Sun Xiaoman hid in Li Zhengdao's arms, hugged Li Zhengdao's waist, and closed her eyes with satisfaction, just now she went out and suddenly saw so many toads, she was not mentally prepared, she was indeed taken aback, but she was comforted by her senior brother and held in her arms, those frightened fears suddenly disappeared, and at this moment in her heart, only the warmth and sweetness of being spoiled.
Bai Miaozhen then came out of the room, and when she saw the situation in the corridor, her face changed, and she was surprised: "How can there be so many toads?"
Ying shook his head unintentionally, the inn here is in the center of the town, and logically speaking, there shouldn't be so many toads.
Although it is now summer, it is the peak period of toad activity, but it has not rained recently, so there should not be so many toads, not to mention that they have all run into the corridor.
"Ah, what's the situation, why are you such a toad?"
"I'll go, what the hell is this?"
"Boss, come and help. ”
"Little Er, Little Er, get rid of these things. ”
The whole inn was noisy above and below, and the boss and Xiao Er also ran over in a panic and shouted: "Oh no, there are a lot of toads outside, don't go out for the time being, be careful of being injured by mistake, these toads can still secrete venom on their heads." ”
"Is there also outside?" Ying Wuxin glanced at Li Zhengdao, knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly walked to the end of the corridor, opened the window, and looked outside.
It's okay not to look at it, but when I saw that both of them had their faces changed drastically.
On one side of the inn is a street, and at the moment the street is full of toads, and in other places, there are also screams of men and women, and you can know by listening to the sound that there must also be toads.
The two of them flew out one after another, got on the roof of the inn, stood on a high place, and looked down, only to see that the streets, alleys, and yards of the whole town were full of toads crawling, and the number was so large that it was difficult to estimate.
"Qi Lookout. ”
Li Zhengdao's eyes shone with golden light, looked around, returned to normal after a while, and frowned: "There is no evil aura, it doesn't look like there is an evil spirit nearby." ”
Ying Wuxin's ears moved, and after a while, he said helplessly: "I didn't hear any abnormal sounds." ”
The two of them looked at the crawling toads in the whole town, and they both fell into thought, so many toads appeared together, and they also appeared in the town where humans gathered, it was too abnormal.
"Why don't you ask the locals first?" Li Zhengdao suggested.
Ying nodded unintentionally, and the two returned to the restaurant and asked the boss about the situation.
The fat boss, who was fat and a little short, said with a panicked face: "I don't know what the specific situation is, but I heard that there are a lot of toads in the mountains near here, and I think these toads came out of the mountains." ”
"In the mountains?"
The two of them remembered the nearby mountainous area they had seen at the entrance of the town, which was very steep and not low, and there were lush trees on it, which looked lush.
If there is enough water, this mountain may indeed be a paradise for toads.
But it was very strange that the toads of Paradise suddenly appeared and arrived in the town of humans.
"Did there be a situation of toads here before?" Ying Wuxin asked.
"Yes, but there are very few, only a few, this time it must be who angered the mountain god, so he sent a toad to punish him, and I don't know who caused the evil and did bad things, and now the whole town is unlucky. The boss grumbled with a sad face.
"We are Daoxia, maybe we can investigate clearly, and tell us in detail what else you know. Li Zhengdao said gently.
The boss nodded, "Looking at your outfits, I know that you are Taoist heroes, but that's all I know, and I don't know the rest, so you better hurry up and think of a way to get rid of these toads." ”
Although these toads do not hurt people, but there are too many of them, and the frightened people dare not go out, it is indeed a disaster, the two glanced at each other, exchanged meanings, and returned to the second floor.
In the room of the two women, the five of them gathered to discuss countermeasures.
Li Zhengdao said solemnly: "What the boss said is indeed reasonable, we still have to think of a safe way, first drive away all the toads, otherwise the people in this town will not be able to go out, and it will be inconvenient for us to investigate." ”
Ying Wuxin looked at Sun Xiaoman and said, "Senior Sister Sun, can I do anything to disperse these toads?"
"You can use poisonous smoke, but it will also be harmful to the people, with some other methods, the effect is not estimated, these toads obviously have their own intentions, not simply intrude by mistake, I think we may have to use more tough means to get rid of them." Sun Xiaoman said.
"A tough way?"
Several other people frowned and thought about it, and shook their heads helplessly for a moment, although Li Zhengdao can trigger lightning, but the power of lightning is too violent, even if it is guided into the water, the power is also very powerful, then it will not be driven away, but killed.
It should be unintentional, it can attract air currents, form a strong wind, and drive away the toads, but this kind of driving has no effect if it is light, and it is estimated that the houses of the villagers will be gone.
"Maybe we can use water streams. Bai Miaozhen said: "When we came, didn't we see a waterfall in the mountain range next to us? If we can divert the water and rush into the town, we should be able to wash away most of the toads, as long as the water volume is controlled, the house should be fine, because there is a layer of gap under the house here, but let the water flow through without harming the house." ”
Sun Xiaoman said: "If that's the case, maybe I can add a little medicine to the water to make the toads more irritable, so that they won't hide in the middle of the town and come out." ”
"This is a good plan for flooding, but we'll have to talk to the mayor. Li Zhengdao nodded.
Later, Li Zhengdao and Ying Wuxing went to find the mayor and discussed a plan to drive away the toad.
The mayor of the town is in his fifties, it is said that he is a showman, his name is Hong Yu, and he is also the patriarch of the Hong tribe with the largest population here, after hearing the suggestions of the two, he frowned and thought for a long time, but there was no result.
"I'm going to talk to the other family representatives. ”
After speaking, Hong Yu said goodbye, went to another courtyard, and did not come back until noon, and brought a few old men who were also old enough.
"These toads don't seem to show any signs of leaving, we have tried the usual methods to drive them away, but it has no effect, it seems that we can only use your methods, but using the water in the mountains to wash the town is not a joke, are you sure?" Hong Yu's swarthy and wrinkled old face was full of worry.
"We are Taoists, just to attract some water, not to use the strong impact of the water to drive the toads away, but to drive the water flow, to wash the toads out of the town little by little, and find a way to drive them out into the wild. Li Zhengdao explained with a smile.
"Well, there's a low-lying area under the town, and you can drive the toads there, and there's a ditch, and the toads can go back to the mountains on their own. Hong Yu thanked.
"The survival of our town depends on you Taoists. The other old men also bowed and thanked them.
Li Zhengdao and Ying Wuxin got up and returned the salute, and then the two left, returned to the inn, and told the situation again, Sun Xiaoman and Bai Miaozhen both nodded a little excitedly, saying that they could act together.
This was the first action of the two of them to enter the third stage of the first realm of cultivation, because they were a little impatient and wanted to show their strong strength after their cultivation was improved.
"I'll go too, I'm also a cultivator now, and I can just be proficient in the method. Wang Banxian volunteered.
The five of them prepared some things and flew out of the town towards the nearby mountains.
The mountain is only a few miles away from the town, and it didn't take long for the five of them to reach the front of the mountain, and a waterfall in front of them was obviously not small, and the majestic water rushed down from above, bombarding the pool below with a huge sound, and countless splashes.
Streams of water vapor came from the surface, with a stream of freshness.
"Brother Dao, let's fight in the battle formation, the terrain here is a bit high, it is not easy to control, and there is farmland in the back is relatively low, so it is much easier, and Senior Sister Sun and Senior Sister Bai can be in the middle. Half-immortals are free to see where there are loopholes, plug them, and sprinkle medicine in the water. "There should be no heart.
Li Zhengdao nodded in agreement, flew backwards for some distance, stood between the farmland and the waterfall, and performed the formula.
Boom –
With the roar of the water, a stream of water poured out of the pool, over the barren meadow, and towards the farmland on one side.
Strangely, the currents did not disperse and flow towards other low places, but like a water snake, they snaked towards the front, crossing a distance of several hundred meters, to the canal for irrigation of the farmland outside the town.
The water entered the canal and flowed forward, and Sun Xiaoman and Bai Miaozhen controlled the flow of water towards the entrance of the town.
Wang Banxian checked whether there were any omissions in the middle, and sprinkled the medicinal powder prepared by Sun Xiaoman into the water.
Ying Wuxin stood at the entrance of the town, drew the water from the canal, and rushed towards the entrance of the town.
The water continued to spread, flowing towards the streets and alleys of the town, driving away all the toads they encountered along the way, and kept running forward with the current, and some even chirped and jumped.
