Delong

Chapter 70

"Tai Shang Lao Jun is in a hurry like a law!"

After a decree, the compass bounced easily, trembling slightly for a while, and then pointed straight to the upstream direction.Sure enough, there were people hiding in the reeds in the defense area, and there should be quite a few of them.

After walking for a while with the compass in hand, Zhang Xing quickly came to a reed marsh with an extraordinarily large area. After walking around several times, he had already noticed some uneasy atmosphere and movement in the reed marsh, so he chose to stick to the reed marsh. Swinging, holding the knife and walking towards the river—God knows how many people are hiding here.

This section of Yishui is not wide, and the current is not rushing, but because it is next to Dongdu and has been dredged many times, it seems to be relatively deep in the middle.It was early winter, and the wellheads and water tanks in the eastern capital city had already started to freeze. Here in Yishui, the mudflats and reed marshes on the edge were also frozen. It was only under the sun, and there were only ice flowers in the shade.

Considering that there are still deep mountains to drill after crossing the river, and there is no food yet, if the servants choose to swim across, it is undoubtedly equivalent to sending half their lives first, and those who cannot swim will die directly.

No wonder they hid in the reeds and waited.

But what are you waiting for?

Does it freeze at night?

Or is it hoping that some hero will descend from the sky, kill this wandering brocade dog with a single sword, and take everyone there one by one?
However, Zhang Xing didn't think how thick the river would be to freeze at night for pedestrians to walk on.

After thinking for a while, the knight in brocade clothes with a white ribbon hanging around his waist suddenly pulled out his knife, then cut a bunch of reeds in front of the flustered reeds, turned around and threw them at the junction of the icy mud flat and the river.Then, the brocade dog leaned over and inserted his hand into the water.

True Qi gushes out along the most basic network of main channels, and easily freezes the reed into the water, just as casual and simple as his habitual small movements in various places in his daily life.

A stream of light flashed across the air, Zhang Xing ignored it, turned around and cut a second bundle of reeds, spread it on the small mixture of ice, water, mud and reeds, and continued to release the ice in his body through his limbs Infuriating.

Liu Guang was gone forever, Zhang Xing worked more and more seriously, faster and faster, and soon his little toy had spread out a little bit, it was two lumps connected by reeds and thin ice, in fact it was already thick From the ice that can carry people, it is as if the pontoon has the first two bases.

Then came the third, fourth, and fifth blocks.

Finally, before the sun went down completely, a strange 'Ice Floe Chain Bridge' spanning more than half of the river appeared on the river.

At this time, the temperature is already very low. I believe that as time goes by, the ice in the river will only become thicker and thicker.

But it still doesn't work, it still doesn't look like a real bridge. The first half has no mechanical structure at all, and the second half is even short of two bundles of reeds.More importantly, if we continue to wait, after dark, some people will not be able to recognize where the 'bridge' is.

Zhang Xing didn't hesitate anymore. This time, he threw a large bunch of reeds accurately, and then stepped on the ice floe, staggered to the middle of the river. Then, he pulled out his knife and inserted it into the thin hole in the gap between the reeds under his feet. Under the ice, right into the running water.

In the end, the genuine energy in the dantian was unscrupulously released by this person with the attribute he is most familiar with.This was the first time since he formed the formation that he had no scruples, and even tried his best to release the storage in his dantian.

The setting sun was setting, the reeds were green, and there were no other sounds around.

And as the zhenqi surged and moved along the knife, the river water kept rippling at first, but soon, a huge white cold air came out, and the cold air filled the river, like a fog on the ground, covering Zhang Xing's figure. But in the end the water surface under the bunch of reeds was frozen solid.

Up to this point, Zhang Xing exhausted all his true energy, and could only use the last glimmer of light to stagger and prepare to turn back, but just after taking two steps, he realized something, turned around and staggered towards the other side of the river.

Facts have proved that even though he came to the river, he still stepped into the knee-high icy water... This clearly proved his low strength and the instability of the ice bridge... But overall, he still managed to walk across the river.

After walking over, Zhang Xing didn't dare to stop for a moment, and immediately turned to the back of a small slope facing the river, and lay down with his back facing this side.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, but finally someone ventured out from the reeds, following the example of the strange brocade-clothed patrolman before, crossing the river by stepping on a mixture of ice and reeds.

But these had nothing to do with Zhang Xing, his legs once again returned to the worst feeling at the beginning, which reminded him of the strange feeling he had when he first arrived in this world.

It was as if the world had once again become unreal.

Of course, this is likely to be purely tired, tired to the point of unconsciousness.

But not long after, before Zhang Xing fell asleep or passed out, someone suddenly spoke on top of his head: "You can try running Lihuo Zhenqi on your legs...it should work?"

Zhang Xing remained silent, but directly tried to activate the Lihuo True Qi, which made him feel a little better.

"Is it worth it?" The person on the head looked at each other coldly.

Zhang Xing finally looked up, but only rolled his eyes.

"That's right." The person on the head continued, but with a smile that he didn't know whether it was ridicule or appreciation. "Speaking of which, the first time we met was by the river, it was by the big river, you were carrying a dead body, leaning against a big tree, covered in dirty clothes with blood stains, unshaven beard, hair all over your face... It's dust, and then I gnawed on a cornbread, but when facing me, Li Shu, and Xu Dalang, they all obviously had a condescending attitude, as if they were so noble... Until now, I still can't change it."

"The patrol inspector is also very arrogant..." Zhang Xing was thoughtful. "So far, I still remember the triumphant look on my shocked face after the inspector took me across the river."

"It's different, you are the arrogance in your heart, and I am the surface." The person standing on the small slope above Zhang Xing's head, that is, Bai Yousi, responded with a sigh. "Just like now, when you do this kind of thing, you simply count everyone out and take on this kind of thing by yourself... It's like saying, look, there are no good people in Jing'an Tower Now, only I, Zhang Sanlang, are willing to treat these Li Shu as human beings, and willing to risk my life to save them...isn't it?"

Zhang Xing opened his mouth to speak.

"I know, but when you do good deeds, don't ask too much... If you are poor, you will be good for yourself, and if you are rich, you will benefit the world... Do as much as you can, and do great things... Everything is people-oriented... The people you save are priceless, no matter what else ?” Bai Yousi opened his mouth in a set manner. "These words are all from you, and I can almost recite them."

Zhang Xing was silent for a moment, and finally asked back: "Aren't these words wrong?"

Bai Yousi shook his head slowly at first, but stopped for a while, and finally nodded slightly in Zhang Xing's expectation:

"Correct."

The voice was very short and crisp, and a little bit of white air was rolled up by the way—it was very strange, which meant that the master of the alchemy stage suddenly let go of the body-protecting true energy, allowing himself to face everything on this winter night.

"I try to let fewer people know that I'm doing the right thing, isn't it right?" In the early winter night, Zhang Xing, who was also breathing white, felt slightly relieved, and continued to lie there to ask.

"Of course it makes sense." Bai Yousi turned her head to look elsewhere, but she didn't know what she saw in the dark night, or what she was avoiding, only a trace of white air flashed past her mouth.

"Finally." Zhang Xing turned over and sat up, looked at the person above his head, and asked seriously. "How did the inspector know who I deliberately deceived by my actions today?"

Bai Yousi was startled for a moment, then realized: "Are you waiting for me? Did you guess that I would come?"

"Not bad." Zhang Xing answered seriously. "But I did it anyway, because I have always regarded the inspector as one of the few people I can rely on in this world, and I am on a par with Qin Erlang. It was then, and it is today... There are some things that the inspector doesn't know about. , The inspector knows, and I am also very happy."

Bai Yousi was silent for a while, then replied softly, "Thank you."

"But I'm still quite curious." Zhang Xing continued to sit on the ground and asked. "How did the inspector know that I can use Lihuo True Qi? Did your omniscient father tell me, or did you guess it, or saw with your own eyes that I can use Longevity True Qi, so you tried to ask?"

"I saw it with my own eyes." Bai Yousi seemed embarrassed, but luckily the night covered everything. "But I'm also curious, when did you know I was watching you?"

"It was the second day after the Yanqingfang case happened. It was said that Yanqingfang might be a master of alchemy, so I could only think of inspecting you." Zhang Xing explained briefly. "After all, alchemy masters are the most difficult people to control in the world. Sometimes they are even more difficult to control than grandmasters and grand masters... And a master of alchemy is willing to be so naive and principled, but it is against the laws and regulations." The general trend is coming to kill, I guess you are the only paranoid, arrogant, naive, and ungrounded Bai Yousi in the world." At this point, Zhang Xing seemed to want to laugh. "And don't forget, the patrol inspector had peeped at me on the roof before, and after I was reciting a poem, he suddenly interrupted me..."

"I've already become a pill." Bai Yousi interrupted him suddenly.

"What?" Zhang Xing was puzzled for a moment.

"I became a pill in less than half a month after the list came out." Bai Yousi finally looked back at the people under his feet again.

"Then congratulations to the inspector." Zhang Xing sincerely bowed his hand. "Can I do it more recklessly?"

"That's not what I mean, I mean... Zhang Sanlang?"

"I'm here."

"I'm already visualizing, engraving the external scene in the inner alchemy."

"Oh!"

"I have studied art for more than ten years. I was invited by Zhong Cheng to enter Jing'antai shortly after I left the mountain. I thought that I would be like Emperor Bai and Zhong Cheng, who would visualize laws and rules, or enforce the law like a mountain. The concept of human beings, but I also thought about it, I will throw away these shackles, and visualize a sword, just like the god general who sat down by the Bai Emperor to visualize a history book..." Bai Yousi's tone seemed a little confused .

"Actually, let me tell you a word of conscience, looking at a sword is quite suitable for inspecting you." Zhang Xing couldn't help but interjected.

"But, after you came to me, everything changed." Bai Yousi shook his head repeatedly. "Zhang Sanlang, no one around me has ever acted like you, and no one has said these words or done these things like you... So, by accident, after I heard your words, it is you and The sentence Li Shu said was also the first time I heard you say something interesting, 'everything is based on people'..."

"I know."

"You don't know, you don't know anything." Bai Yousi responded quietly, seemingly a little angrily. "Because the more I think about it, the more I feel that this sentence is true, so after the success of congealing pills, I visualized people!"

Zhang Xingben wanted to say, so what about visualizing people?It is obviously stronger than visualizing a sword, and you want to become a dragon, visualizing a toad might even become a real god.

However, the next moment, he suddenly realized something, shut his mouth and stood there motionless.

"The first person I visualized was not my father, not Zhongcheng, not anyone else in the inspection team...it was you!" Bai Yousi finally sighed. "Zhang Xing, I'm visualizing you, and I'm going to engrave you into my inner alchemy...but it's too difficult."

Zhang Xing was dumbfounded.

After a while, he hesitated: "Actually, I'm not that complicated... It's not that the world is bad, and something is wrong with the court recently, so I stooped a little and hid it to do some copywriting, which made the inspection hard I'm actually quite proud."

"That's right, even if you're a copywriter, you're more heroic than others." Bai Yousi suddenly laughed. "I didn't see the wrong person."

After saying a word, Bai Yousi leaned over and rolled up Zhang Xing with one hand, just leaped in the air, and floated across Yishui, just like he was by the big river that day.

The reeds are green, and the white dew is frost. The so-called Iraqi people share one side with me.

When floating across the reeds, Zhang Xing inexplicably remembered this sentence.

PS: Happy New Year to everyone in advance.
