Volume 3 The Beginning of Sorrow Chapter 098 The Roof Leak Happened to Rain Overnight
Since the farewell of Fuyang County and Huanzhou, Mei Yuanchen and Begonia have been separated for ten days.
"We arrived in Jinzhou six days ago, no matter how slow the journey of Begonia is, the 1,400 miles of travel in these ten days should have arrived a long time ago, why haven't we arrived yet?" In the past two days, Mei Yuanchen's uneasiness in his heart has gradually increased, "Is it raining continuously, and the road is blocked? Begonia doesn't have any effort, isn't it in a hurry, his body and bones can't bear it, and he is sick? Or did he meet some bad people on the way?" Thinking of this possibility, Mei Yuanchen became more and more anxious, and the more anxious he was, the more he couldn't stop thinking about the worst.
The rain stopped for a long time, the roads were muddy, and it was difficult for cars and horses to walk.
Before the rain stopped, Zhankong led the group on the road. Since the farewell of the Huanzhou Inn in the middle of the night, the rain has not stopped for six of the ten days, and everyone is trapped in their residences and cannot make the trip. Now, although the rain has not stopped, fortunately, there is no worry about getting wet, and everyone is on the road with their needs. Although the journey is not fast, it has traveled more than 100 miles in more than two hours, and has reached the boundary of Luanzhou, which is only 300 miles away from Jinzhou.
"Master, why is Yanshui the messenger of the Heavenly Dao?" Zhi Cheng drove slowly, and asked Zhan Kongdao on the side. The continuous heavy rain on the way, and the surging flood on the road, made Zhicheng have an indescribable awe of the water.
Zhankong Daoist smiled and replied: "Among the five elements, metal, wood, earth, and fire are all born on the earth. Gold can be coined and refined, wood can be chiseled into a boat, a house can be built, soil can be built into a building, a plastic wall can be built, fire can drive away darkness, and heat can be obtained. These four elements can be used by people, and they are for the benefit of others. The so-called humanity comes from goodness, and deeds come from goodness, so these four acts are said to be humanitarian. The water in the five elements can be good, evil can be evil, and it is in line with the way of heaven and not with people. Out of the earth is called spring, for the water of the earth, and out of the sky is said to be rain, for the water of the sky. How is it that good water is like a long drought and rain, which revives all kinds of droughts, and bad water is like a monstrous flood that destroys vitality, and how is this not as inexplicable and irreversible as the way of heaven? ”
"Oh, I see, the disciple understands. Zhi Cheng was instructed and replied happily.
Suddenly, there was a strange sound from the end of the team, and Zhi Ji, the eldest disciple of Zhanxu Daoren, rode up. I saw him say eagerly: "Master, the disciple saw that there seemed to be a humanoid thing on the driftwood in the middle of the river. ”
"Oh, where is it?" asked the Zhankong Daoist anxiously. Taoism reveres nature and never preaches the righteousness of goodness. And the people in the Taoist sect never seem to lack benevolence. Kindness comes from the heart, let it be, why not do good naturally?
"It's there, uncle, do you see?" Zhi Ji stretched out his hand and pointed to the river on the side of the road.
Zhan Kong Dao people looked in the direction of Zhiji's fingers, and saw a person lying on a driftwood in the middle of the river, and exclaimed: "Ah! There is one person!"
Zhan Jue and Zhan Cheng had already heard the report of Zhiji, and they were already ready to make a move, the three of them nodded at each other, jumped up from their horses, and rushed to the river in a few big steps. I saw a person lying on a section of driftwood in the river, stuck more than 100 zhang away from the river bank. Seeing that there was a pile of huge dead wood by the river, Zhan Kongdao had a plan, and said: "Throw the dead wood here into the river as a foothold!" Zhan Jue and Zhan Cheng understood it, and the three of them each lifted the dead wood and threw it from near and far. There are more than a dozen sections of this dead wood, and the small ones are about 100 catties, and it is not difficult for everyone to throw them. The remaining seven or eight sections weighed six or seven hundred catties, and although the three of them had deep internal strength, they couldn't throw these dead trees away.
Just in distress, Zhan Cheng shouted: "Senior Brother Zhankong, you go to save people first, and Zhan Jue and I will work together to break the dead wood into small pieces, and then throw it over!"
When Zhan Kong heard this, he said happily: "This method is very good!" Immediately activated the internal force, lifted his qi and jumped out, stood on the driftwood on the water surface, and then jumped to another section of driftwood. Zhan Jue and Zhan Cheng by the river did not dare to delay, separated the two sides of a big dead wood, and slapped a palm on the dead wood together, and suddenly "snapped" and broke a small section. Then he slapped a palm, and then slapped another piece, and so on four times, and a large dead wood was broken into four small dead trees. The two of them lifted the small dead wood and threw it far away one by one, forming a pontoon bridge on the river, connecting the humanoid objects in the middle of the river.
Zhankong arrived smoothly, stabilized himself on the dead wood, and looked closely, knowing that this was a soldier. Before he could think about it, the Zhankong Daoist picked up the soldier and hurried back. At this time, the pontoon bridge has been washed away by the current, and the dead wood is gradually separated from each other, which has reached three or four zhang, and the clear sky is carrying one person, obviously a little weak, and gradually feels difficult after crossing the seven sections of driftwood. Zhan Chengdao had already realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly said to Zhan Jue on the side: "Senior Brother Zhan Jue, I'll go to pick up Senior Brother Zhankong, and in a while, you will come to answer me again!"
Zhan Jue already understood, and replied, "Go!" After finishing speaking, he walked to the front of the big dead wood, and slapped it with one palm, and finally slapped it again, and hurriedly threw it near Zhankong's foot.
Zhan Cheng had already rushed to the nearest piece of dead wood to the Zhankong Dao people, and said to him: "Senior brother, throw people over!"
Zhan Kong has been accumulating strength to stabilize his body and prevent the two of them from sinking, but at this time he felt quite weak and did not dare to be strong, so he said "catch!" and threw the soldiers on his back.
It is really difficult for people to float on the water, and it is far from the same as being on land. As soon as Zhan Chengfu took over the soldier, his body shook violently and almost fell. Fortunately, he had deep internal strength, hurriedly stabilized the next plate, and jumped to another piece of dead wood along the swing. At this time, Zhan Jue had already thrown several pieces of dead wood over, and they were landing in the sparse places in between. Zhan Cheng lifted his breath, kicked up hard under his feet, and jumped to another piece, not daring to take a break, he jumped up again with strength, and then fell on another dead wood...
When the soldier was rescued ashore, Zhan Cheng was already tired and sweating profusely, which was worse than Zhan Kong. Zhan Jue hurriedly took over the soldier and drained his air.
"Senior Brother Zhan Cheng, it's been a hard work!" Zhan Kong gasped and laughed.
"Haha, if in the past few years, I didn't take a breath of air, but now I'm old!" was saved, Zhan Cheng was also quite relieved in his heart, and laughed at himself.
"The power of water, the power of man!" sighed Zhankong. Zhan Cheng remembered that the right talent was dangerous, and couldn't help nodding yes.
"Vomit~~~" Shicai saved the soldier and spit out a big puddle of water, and woke up leisurely. "Give me a horse... Give me a horse..."The man woke up, and before he could thank him for saving his life, he asked Zhan Jue Daoist for a horse.
"Little brother, you are very weak and have no way to go, what do you want horses to do?" asked Zhan Jue. Zhan Kong and Zhan Cheng saw that the man was awake and hurriedly surrounded him.
"Please... Ask the three Taoist masters... Find me a horse... I... I have important military information to send... Sent to the Fuyang outpost, no matter how late it is... It's too late!" The soldier stretched out his hand to support his body, but where could he hold it, and he cried out in a hurry, "Hurry... Hurry..."
"What is the important military situation?" asked Zhan Kong anxiously.
"The military situation is victorious, and the small ones can't... Unable... Tell each other. The soldier gritted his teeth and said reluctantly.
Zhankong Daoist understood and explained: "Little brother, we are Taoist priests of Zhenwuguan. You should know that the true martial arts concept is the national view, and if you tell us, it doesn't matter if you want to come!"
"Oh... That's good... God have mercy on me... ... "The soldier burst into tears, and said again, "Please go to the Fuyang outpost quickly... Look for... Find General Gu and talk to him... Said, Shatuo country led 200,000 troops to invade... On the 17th it was attacked... Descended to Tianmen City and Yanzhou...... General Xu Shen has led the ... 28,000 people at the Xian outpost...... Go to intercept it. The enemy is strong and I am weak... Please take care of the general introduction... It's too late, Anham... The whole county is about to fall!" The soldier became more and more anxious, and tears were already running down his face.
"What? is this?" the three of them were so frightened that they couldn't believe it.
"Hurry, hurry!" begged the soldier, feebly.
Among the three, Zhan Kong was the leader, and at this time he immediately decided: "At this time, it is raining heavily, and the official post is not passable, but I am afraid that I will miss the military situation." Zhan Jue, you should personally go back to the capital and report this matter to the senior brother in charge, and it is most appropriate for him to report this matter to the emperor. In addition, the two of them will be sent to the Fuyang outpost for help!"
