The sword is the devil

Chapter 137
The people of Xiaoqianbao finally waited for the season of spring and flowers blooming.

The large pond in front of the castle has turned into a huge pit with a radius of fifty feet and a depth of ten feet. If it is really filled with water, even in the dry season, it will be enough to support the entire population of the castle for a year.

The preparatory work for the breach of Bailian River has basically been completed, and the bell mouth of the embankment and embankment has been seen in scale.

There are three practitioners guarding here, and the whole winter was safe and sound, occasionally monsters harassed them, all of them were repelled and beheaded without mercy; not only Wang Mian Fang Yazi was ruthless, but also the one who was a Ming Daoist who was in the realm of bigu. The shot is also sharp and extraordinary.

The three of them cooperated tacitly to ensure that the river workers could work with all their strength under the utmost safety, and this is how the current progress was made.

In mid-March, the earth began to thaw, but unfortunately, the weather was not good, and the rain came very early. Almost every day was cloudy and rainy, and it was difficult to see a sunny day. Anyone with a little experience in the Yinling Wasteland knows that , which is preparing for the next rainstorm.

The three of them stood by the embankment of Bailian River, watching the river workers finishing up; in fact, most of the river workers had already left, and there was not much earthwork left, just some work to reinforce and mend leaks.

"When the water rises, the Bailian River is quite large. Pindao has traveled to and from the Bailian River many times, but it is the first time he has seen such a spectacular scene of the river flowing." Wei Ming couldn't help but sigh.

Wang Mian smirked, and after being together for a long time, he spoke more casually, "Is there anything spectacular? It's just that the water is shallow! During the rainy season, the water flow accelerates and washes away the beach rocks. It's a superficial scene, but in fact it's only a few feet deep. Only up to the waist."

Daoist Ming didn't take it seriously, knowing that most of these Quanzhen disciples were outspoken, either they were dull gourds like Fang Yazi, or outspoken like Wang Mian, or, um, that Hou Niao was a little strange?
"I just found out today why it took so much effort to break the mouth of a river. It turned out that I was worried that the river would swell during the rainy season and the flood would occur. The two fellow daoists have insight!"

But Wang Mian didn't take credit for it, "What insight do we have? We don't even know about water in the state of Shan. This is all brother Hou's plan. He said that all water conservancy projects in Anhe state need this. The most dangerous thing is to break the river's mouth." That section, if not done well, will affect the livelihood of the surrounding people, so it is better to make the embankment stronger and take precautions, and it must not cause a catastrophe!"

Daoist Wei Ming expressed his deep admiration, "Yes, especially in this rainy season. But since it seems that the rainy season is coming, how can we dig these tens of miles of canals? Although I don't know water conservancy, I also know that this is not just digging a canal The ditch, how to reinforce the ditch so that it will not turn into a stinky mud ditch is not an easy job, now that the earth has basically melted, and the thaw is especially fast under the rain, do you have a plan when to dig the ditch?"

Wang Mian shook his head, "You don't understand, and I don't understand either! Only senior brother Hou who was born in the south understands this, so wait for the news, he is the senior brother and he is in charge, so I can just do my best."

Shaking his head and smiling wryly for Taoist Ming, these two sticks are completely brainless, everything is based on that senior brother Hou, and there is no independent judgment of a practitioner.

To be honest, he has some opinions on these dams at the Bailian River breach. They are indeed complete and thoughtful, but they are a bit fussy?
Anyway, this is just a middle river in Yinling. It may be a small river in the south. The water is shallow and small. Even if it overflows, how much land can it flood?Besides, the land here is sparsely populated, so how much impact can it have?

In his opinion, this is the performance of Hou Tiao's imitation of cats and tigers, and imitation of the Anhe water conservancy project; in terms of water conservancy, he is an expert to a layman, but he is an outsider in front of an insider, and he is completely ignorant. It is the weakness of the people who are eager to think about water, which is why they are so aggressive.

It is simply a waste of money and people. It can be kept simple and simple, and it can save many people the hard work of day and night.

But fortunately, it's finally finished.

Because of the constant rain, the rest of the reinforcement project seems to be a bit procrastinated, slowly consuming time in the procrastination, so that people in Wei Ming have the urge to ignore it, but they have persisted for several months. Let go until the end is finished, right?
In this torment, the rain was getting heavier and heavier. The Bailian River, which was originally three feet deep, had now surged to six or seven feet, and there was no sign of stopping.

On this day, the sky was thundered and lightning flashed, the wind was strong, and the clouds were as low as lead, as if they could be reached by jumping up.Even an inexperienced person can tell that a heavy rainstorm that may leave a mark in the history of Yinling's hydrology is coming!
The rest of the river workers had already evacuated yesterday, and now there are only three lonely figures left in the empty Bailian and the breaching embankment!
Daoren Wei Ming was very puzzled, "You guys are waiting for seniors to hug left and right in Xiaoqianbao, and there are three beauties waiting for you, leaving the two of you here to guard the embankment in the rain? And I don't understand what we are guarding? With such weather, monsters won’t come out, right?”

Wang Mian smiled mysteriously, "Fellow Daoist is wrong, especially at this time, the more we have to stay together! I have doubts, why not wait and see?"

People who are enlightened are uneasy, but they don't know where the uneasiness comes from?The only thing he could do was to stay. These two Peiyuan Xiaoxiu dared to be alone in the wilderness under such bad weather. How dare he, a Bigu realm cultivator?

Thinking of it this way, I felt calm, but I wanted to see what these Quanzhen disciples were going to do!This is also the purpose of his hard work here!

The rain began to intensify in the evening, from the rainy rain at the beginning to the light rain later, it has turned into a downpour in the second half of the night, and it is getting bigger and bigger!

Under the confluence of streams and ditches upstream, the Bailian River has surged to more than one foot, and some low places have overflowed. The approach embankment where they stand is less than two feet away from the rushing river below their feet!
When the time came to Mao, the rain could not even be described as pouring, it was simply dumping the vat, pouring the lake!The waterline was rising at a speed visible to the naked eye. Only at this time did Bai Lianhe truly have the momentum of running like a dragon and never returning!
"With such a heavy rain, the dam will collapse! Our efforts for the past few months have been in vain!" Daoist Wei Ming shouted.

Wang Mian and Fang Yazi looked at each other, "Is it time?"

"It's here, let's start!"

The two walked towards the breach, and casually took out a few things from the treasure gourd, being a sharp-eyed Taoist Ming, even in the dark and difficult-to-see environment, he could recognize what it was at a glance!
It's an earthquake!It is something that is specially used for mining in the cultivation world. It doesn't have much technical content, but it has only one advantage. It is so powerful that it can blow up mountains, open roads, and smash walls and cities!

What are you going to do with such a thing at this time?Weiming's mind was a little messed up for a while, he didn't dare to think about it,
"You guys are crazy! Do you still want to break the embankment with this kind of water? Aren't you afraid that it will cause the people of Yinling to die?"

The two of them didn't look back, only Wang Mian laughed loudly: "It's not that we want to do it, it's all brother's idea, you can find him!"

Wei Ming's heart sank, and when he looked back, a familiar figure came out of the rainstorm!

... The night was full of stars, moon and mist, and the clouds were low and the thunder was flying.Pingling suddenly saw the turbulence, and knew that it was raining from other mountains!
