Chapter 467: The importance of wishes

Overnight, thirteen households in Jishui Town were bloodbathed, and everyone in the family died.

When these corpses were first discovered, the people of Jishui Town were indeed panicked. After all, even the prairie people who went south to clear grass valleys could not do this kind of pure killing without leaving any chickens or dogs behind.

But soon, the people discovered that the death of these thirteen families did not seem to have any impact on everyone's lives.

No, maybe it still has an impact.

That is, everyone's life seems to have suddenly gotten better.

In the past, the seemingly venerable old man was in charge of all the affairs of the town in the name of offering sacrifices to He Bo. In addition, there were twelve families helping him. This old man was just like the local bully of Jishui Town.

But now, the local bully's family has been buried, and all the strong men who helped him are dead. Without the oppression of these strong men, everyone's life has suddenly become more comfortable.

"Could it be that...it's that Tetsuo?"

Some people vaguely thought of this possibility, but they didn't dare to admit it.

They also remembered that this iron man did not like to kneel down and worship.

"Then do it!"

In their imagination, the most ideal situation was to calm He Bo's anger and gain a brief period of peace that they didn't know how long it would last.

The first commoner raised his hand, followed by the second and third.

As for fighting He Bo, or even killing He Bo head-on... they couldn't even think of such a thing!

"It's our turn... to prove ourselves!"

"really?"

When these skeptical people cautiously approached the river, what appeared in front of them was a terrifying battlefield that could be described as a raging natural disaster.

"This just fell from the sky! The iron man asked us to do it!"

They created a small iron man with a height of nine inches.

Immediately afterwards, there was the second, the third, the fourth...

"Thank you, Immortal."

The rest of the people were stunned.

The first citizen to stand up suddenly took out a piece of paper from his arms.

Some people suddenly stood up.

With this roar, the people no longer looked at Jishui with any fear in their eyes.

Over time, they have even forgotten that they can still do these things.

This can't even be called etiquette. It's just that human beings instinctively weaken their legs when faced with tyrannical power. However, this is indeed etiquette, just because they are so convinced at this moment.

Just do what they said, and the people immediately went home to get the tools and were ready to start work on the spot - but before starting work, they still did a more important thing.

But now...

"He really..."

Also, the collapsed altar.

After all, that Tetsuo had already jumped into the river... Could it be that Tetsuo could still defeat He Bo?
"Can it be said that Tetsuo can really defeat He Bo?"

But full of ambition and pride.

"try again!"

"Then do it!"

"This……"

That is to say...

It’s not just who is the first to fall to his knees.

"Now it's our turn! It's our turn to prove ourselves!"

Or, can this kind of thing really be done?
"Yes! It must be possible!"

Until, hundreds or thousands.

"Try again! Let's try again! Build dikes, dredge canals... Let's try again! Try again!"

The eyes of the rest of the people gradually brightened.

"May God bless us and win the battle!"

"This must be what the iron man left behind! He must have killed He Bo!"

People holding notes waved their arms.

The nascent morning sun shone into their eyes, which made their eyes seem to be on fire. The fiery mood penetrated their limbs and even made their heartbeats speed up.

It's not that they haven't made efforts for this land, and it's not that they haven't tried to rectify the overflowing river, but every attempt has ended in failure. That was Hebo's stern warning to them.

The common people bowed to the iron man.

The people came forward one after another to look at the note. Many of them didn't even recognize the words - but they could still barely make out what the writing on the note should be.

……

……

……

"Bless your ass!"

Du Chengfeng, who was polishing the mountains in Datang Mountain, couldn't help but sneeze.

He naturally felt the mental energy coming from the distance. Just like the firm will shown by the parents who lost their children before when they burned incense and prayed, he could also feel the mental energy contained in these mental forces. mood.

To be fair, he still admires this spirit of constant self-improvement.

But he really didn't throw that note.

It was obvious that some people were using his name to do things. He could even guess that he was most likely using his reputation to dispel other people's fear of He Bo.

The idea is a good idea, but can you ask the parties first?

"It's really... ugh."

When his work was interrupted, Du Chengfeng simply put down his work temporarily.

Strictly speaking, this is actually a good thing. Although Jishui Town and Sanshan Town are quite far apart, Du Chengfeng can still feel the huge mental force hanging over Jishui Town in the distance - like Just like the dark clouds hanging over Sanshan Town, it is the collective effort of the local people and the embodiment of those chaotic consciousnesses.

But now, Du Chengfeng can already feel that as long as he wants, he can mobilize the power of Jishui Town for his use at any time.

It is the power gathered by the hearts and minds of thousands of people, just like the Yangtze River formed by the trickles of water. It can kill just one tenth or even one percent of the so-called rivers at will. A master of evil spirits.

"But this thing..."

Du Chengfeng started scratching his head.

This thing gave him a toothache, just because after realizing this power, he also discovered another power wrapped around him.

That comes from the will of the villagers in Wangyou Township.

Yes, he should have thought of it a long time ago. When he fought all the way from Jibei and Yanzhou, it was true that he had mastered the power at that time, but he could get this power and use it The fact that it performs perfectly is already like a divine help.

He once thought that he was able to fight his way through various dangerous murder situations just because of pure luck. But now it seems...

"It's yours, do you trust me?"

Du Chengfeng let out a long sigh.

In fact, according to his temperament, he prefers to be alone. He is indeed kind to the villagers on weekdays, but when it comes to fighting, he will inevitably regard these people as a burden - after all, they He is really not good at fighting, and once he faces a real evil spirit master, he will die very quickly, and he even needs to take care of him.

But looking at it now...

"I am too self-righteous."

Lying on the mountain ground, Du Chengfeng looked up at the clouds passing by in the sky.

The thick sword that had been with him for a long time was inserted in his hand, and he seemed to be enjoying this moment of tranquility.

After resting for a moment, Du Chengfeng stood up. Although the time he had just recalled was short, he had already fully understood what the so-called incense and will power was like - but understanding is understanding. When it comes to using it, he still has to give it a try.

Although he had enjoyed the benefits of this power in the past, he still had no awareness of it at that time. In other words, he was just passively pushed by this power without even realizing it.

But now, after wiping He Bo's steel fork, he has understood that there are still some people in this world who can take the initiative to use this power.

He was a little curious about what would happen if this power was actively activated by him.

"Then go try it!"

With this in mind, Du Chengfeng flew high into the sky again, all the way to Jishui Town.

The high platform used for sacrifices had been destroyed in the battle, and now it had been completely demolished. The coast of Jishui had turned into a huge construction site, and people were busy carrying tools. Looking down from the sky , the scene was like ants moving.

Only this time, the eyes of the people were no longer the despair before, but full of hope.

They all know that they are working for their own safety and future.

That's why this scene is so exciting.

Du Chengfeng did not show up in a hurry, but waited until night. After the people dispersed and went back to their homes, he fell from the sky.

Yes, since we are ready to give it a try, isn't this Jishui, which needs to be renovated, the best test product?
"First...the knife."

Du Chengfeng waved down the sword in his hand.

The wide river surface was immediately cut off, and the silt at the bottom of the river rose up under this terrifying impact - but there was no chance of these silts falling into the water again, just because they were greeted by a more fiery wave. flame!

Under the burning flames, the originally soft mud instantly became hard, and a dam was built on the huge river in an instant!
"It's as simple as playing in the mud..."

In the past, if he had to do something similar to splitting a mountain, although he could indeed do it, it would not be as easy and comfortable as it is now.

With the blessing of this will, he seemed to have truly become a legendary god. He could turn his hands into clouds, turn his hands into rain, soar into the clouds and ride in the mist, and scatter beans into soldiers.

"Can you really spread the beans and make an army?"

Du Chengfeng was suddenly a little curious, mainly because he did carry some fried soybeans for snacks. He didn't finish them when he was watching the construction site in the sky during the day, so he could try them now.

"Go away!"

With this in mind, Du Chengfeng simply poured out the remaining half bag of fried soybeans.

The fried soybeans with a slight aroma were scattered on the muddy ground without any reaction.

This made Du Chengfeng a little embarrassed.

"Hey, I knew this was impossible!"

After scratching his head, Du Chengfeng stuffed the bag of fried soybeans back into his arms without leaving a trace. Although it was true that no one would see it now, it was still a bit embarrassing to fail in the attempt.

But just when he used the most basic mental operation method to levitate the fried soybeans all over the floor so that he could throw them into the river to feed the fish, these fried soybeans suddenly became restless.

"you……"

Du Chengfeng suddenly felt that some power descended from the mental vortex in mid-air in Jishui Town.

If Du Chengfeng flew to Jishui Town at this time and found a family named Zhang Laowu, he would be able to see Zhang Laowu lying on the bed, his eyelids twitching constantly.

This extremely rapid eye movement is often considered to be a sign of dreaming, and this old man is indeed having a strange dream now.

Zhang Laowu dreamed that he turned into a soybean.

"Is it still fried? Why do I smell so good?"

Zhang Laowu's consciousness was still a little chaotic in his sleep, and he instinctively began to look around to see where he was.

Fortunately, this place is not unfamiliar to Zhang Laowu. This is the construction site where he works during the day.

"Then keep doing it!"

Zhang Laowu didn't care whether it was day or night. After repairing the dam and the diversion canal, the water in Jishui would no longer flood, and the few acres of land he cultivated would be much safer.

However, it seems that the dam has been repaired a long time ago. Although the shape of the repair is a bit too unsophisticated, since the work has been done, Zhang Laowu's attention has shifted to the construction of the aqueduct.

Can a fried soybean build a canal?

According to common sense, this is absolutely impossible, but there is no common sense in things like dreams. Zhang Laowu didn't even have any doubts about his helpless state. He only thought about himself. Just do it and it's done.

No matter what he does, as long as he does it, he will definitely get results.

Just do it and that's it.

"Just do it!"

On the shore of Jishui, Du Chengfeng felt the unified will.

All the fried soybeans started their actions, and each fried soybean found its own position. Even though these fried soybeans have no hands or feet, the impact from the essence of the mind is far greater than any hand or foot tools. More effective!
A firm will can change everything. Nothing is impossible in this world.

"This, this, this, this..."

After being stunned for a long time, Du Chengfeng finally couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

"How powerful!"

Du Chengfeng was stunned as he looked at the fried soybeans that were constantly flying through the construction site like shooting stars.

He thought that he had a sufficient understanding of power, mental strength, will, and the nature of the world. He thought that he had almost explored the end of the world.

But now it seems...

"That old guy is really right."

Du Chengfeng couldn't help but think of what the mountain god of Sanshan Town once said about him.

At that time, he thought that the old guy was just trying to show off his power, but now it seems that he is indeed a frog in the well.

This may be the true application of mental power.

He finally got a glimpse of it, the tip of the iceberg.

"but……"

Thinking of this, Du Chengfeng looked into the distance.

That was the direction of Liuhua Mountain in He Bo's memory.

He is not the first person to come into contact with this power. There are many more people who have already used this power skillfully.

For example, the tiger of Liuhua Mountain who almost drove Jishui Hebo to death.
