You cultivate immortality, I cultivate merit

"Sister Lan, you have experience in dealing with foreign enemies. You have fought off monsters before."

After Xia Yu reminded her, Shi Zelan remembered those things. She nodded and said, "Yes, it's all because those monsters were weak. I had forgotten everything that happened."

Xia Yu looked at her and sighed, "The days are long. I wonder if there will ever be a day when you will forget about Xiaoliu and me."

"Will not.

Xiaoliu is my brother, you are my partner who has been through thick and thin with me. Even if I forget others, I will never forget you."

Xia Yu's mood improved a little, and he said to Shi Zelan: "I have never encountered such a difficult formation. If I can solve this formation with my uncles, I have a good chance of becoming a great formation master."

Shi Zelan glanced at him and said, "In Xiaoliu's and my heart, you are already a formation master."

Xia Yu quickly shook his hand and said, "No, I am just a cultivator who likes formations now, and I am still a long way from being a formation master."

In the following days, Shi Xiaoliu and his two companions came to guard the city gate again, and Master Decheng and his two companions would come and take a look outside the city gate from time to time.

After Shi Xiaoliu and the other two had guarded the city gate for half a month, Xia Yu said to Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan, "I suspect that the formation was adjusted according to the changes of the four seasons.

We have now changed the direction of two array points, and I am afraid there will be other inappropriate things. We must quickly find a way to make up for it."

The three of them were outside the city for half a month, but they were not completely without gain.

This year the government is going to arrange corvée laborers to clean up the river, but when this task was assigned, every household complained bitterly.

Shi Xiaoliu and his two companions wanted to restore the original height of the flattened mountain to some extent, but they did not want to dig another mountain to add to the gap.

After the government announced the work that the corvées would do this year, Shi Xiaoliu and the other two exchanged glances and immediately had new ideas.

After they went back and told Master Decheng and the other two their ideas, Master Deyi said to them, “You can give it a try.

But I want to tell you that the topography and landforms here cannot be restored to their original state."

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two nodded, and Xia Yu said to Master Deyi, "Uncle Master, we are just wondering if the wind will be weaker if the original height of the mountain is restored."

Master Deyi thought about it seriously and said to Xia Yu, "It's hard to say."

The next day, Shi Xiaoliu and his two companions entered the city. They went to read the government's announcement and found out where the river was that the government wanted to clear.

At night, the three of them went to clean up the river. The river mud was very smelly, so smelly that the three of them wanted to give up.

However, since they had already started digging, the three decided to try the work for a whole night.

When they were clearing the river, they also found that it was severely blocked. It was also God's blessing that no danger occurred during the last heavy rain.

They transported the river mud up the mountain, and the stench was so bad that Master Decheng and his two companions retreated directly to the city gate.

The men from various villages came to the river and felt that this work was too difficult. Before they started working, they could already smell the stench in the river.

When they started working, they found that the river was cleaned very cleanly and they could hardly dig out any silt.

When the officers came, they thought they were too lazy, after all, the river was too smelly.

But when they went down to the river themselves, they found that this section of the river seemed to have been cleaned particularly cleanly.

Naturally, they had to report such strange things to the prefect.

That night, the government arranged people to guard the river.

Just that night, Shi Xiaoliu and his two companions went upstream along the river and cleared the silt.

And the more they did it, the more they felt that there was something in the center of the river that was attracting them.

But the three people's goal now is to dig out the silt and restore the mountain. During the day, the government arranged five people who were good at swimming to dive directly to the bottom of the river to take a look.

After the five men came up, they shook their heads at the officials and said, "Nothing has changed in the middle of the river."

Government officials came in waves, but the men who came to perform labor service still stayed by the river.

At night, they knelt down to thank the river god for his kindness.

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two were busy clearing the river, so they were unaware of these things.

They also cleared out a batch of rocks from the river, which were just enough to pile on the top of the mountain.

They worked for five or six nights and finally restored the mountains to their original appearance.

Master Decheng and the other two covered their mouths and noses and looked at the wind vent for most of the day. After looking at it, they shook their heads at Shi Xiaoliu and the other two.

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two sighed, but they were not disappointed.

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two told Master Decheng about what happened in the middle of the river and said that they would go to the center of the river to check it out when there were not so many people around the river.

After listening to what the three of them said, Master Deyi clapped his hands and said, "Yes, even the city gates can be set up as formation points, so what about the river?"

Zhenren Deyi and Zhenren Qicheng immediately rushed to the riverside. When they arrived, they saw that the riverside was full of people.

After listening to some gossip for a while, the two of them could only follow the crowd from one end of the river to the other.

After they came back, they said to Master Decheng, Shi Xiaoliu and the other two, “Maybe there is something in the center of the river.

But we didn’t feel anything this time.”

Qi Cheng Zhenren said to Shi Xiaoliu and the other two, "You three are lucky. When this excitement is over, you three can go check the situation."

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two nodded. They listened to what Master Deyi and Master Qicheng said about what happened along the river.

The three were very surprised and asked, "People all think that the river god has appeared?"

Master Deyi and Master Qicheng nodded. Shi Zelan asked curiously, "I have been busy on the river for several days, but I didn't feel the presence of the river god?"

"Perhaps the Lord River God is busy with other things."

Shi Xiaoliu casually replied, and Xia Yu nodded in agreement: "The river is full of silt. If the Lord River God were here, he would definitely be angry."

The three people of Decheng Zhenren listened to three small topics, and the more they talked, the more irrelevant they became.

"Humph."

Qi Cheng Zhenren reminded: "Don't you three need to meditate and practice?"

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two immediately said, "Yes, we will go back to the top of the mountain to meditate and consolidate our state of mind."

After the three of them left, Master Deyi said to Master Decheng and Master Qicheng, "There is something in the center of the river, and it is also destined to be with the three of them."

Master Decheng smiled and nodded, saying, "Brother Yi, you don't need to explain to me.

If the three of them go, maybe they can find a special opportunity."

Master Qicheng was even more straightforward: “Our Yu’er was originally a lucky person.

Now that Xiaoliu and Lan Jie'er are by his side, I think his luck is getting better and better."

Master Deyi looked at the two of them and smiled: "Sometimes I envy the deep friendship between the three of them." (End of this chapter)
