Husband is extremely regent

Chapter 126 Things in the water

"what happened?"

Looking at the water column soaring into the sky, Lu Yi was dumbfounded.

As the culprit, Lu Xu moved over quietly, without changing his expression, and said, "According to the person who happened first, they heard a loud noise, so they rushed over to see what happened."

"Why don't you come here, is the injury on your foot okay?"

Lu Yi glanced at his daughter's injured foot. In fact, for a moment he suspected that it was his daughter who did it.

Thinking of the situation in front of her, she should not have that ability, so she dispelled her worries, but it was really strange that this kind of thing happened at home.

Looking at the water vapor that almost filled the air, Lu Xu said: "Father, you see that the water is hot. If this place is converted into a hot spring, some pipes can be connected to direct the hot water to various water rooms. There is no need for water in the house anymore. It takes money and effort to boil water, but my daughter thinks it is a good thing."

"The situation hasn't been clarified yet, why are you in a hurry."

Lu Yi only thought that she had lived in Longyin Villa for a while, and was used to having hot springs in the house.

Hearing this, Lu Xu wrinkled his nose: "What could be the case, most likely the underground river diverted its course, and when it got here, it was blocked and rushed straight up."

Suzaku was dumbfounded when she heard that, the young lady had no bottom line when she lied, so she heard Lu Xu ask curiously: "Could it be that the stones that the fourth brother collected from all over the world are just to block the water below."

The old lady came over and said: "When the house was built, I went to a Feng Shui master to see it, and I built it after I was sure it could be built."

Lu Xuchao blessed the old lady and said: "Under the capital, dark rivers are criss-crossed. It took thousands of years for the river to wash out a channel, and it happened to come out from here."

The old lady seemed reasonable at first, then she heard Lu Xu say: "The fourth elder brother has been studying here all year round, and he thought he discovered something, so he built a rockery to block it, but water control has always focused on dredging, and blocking cannot be blocked. .”

Knowing daughter Mo Ruofu, Lu Yi glanced at his daughter and said: "According to what you mean, your fourth elder brother has already discovered the clue, and he didn't report it, but found something to block it."

Lu Xu didn't notice his father's expression, and talked eloquently: "Maybe it was just a tiny stream of water at first, and the fourth brother thought it was insignificant, and even wanted to use this water to raise a rockery. out of hand."

"According to what you said, what should we do now?" Lu Yi didn't know what to do, and deliberately asked her for a solution.

"We can't close such a big gap. Hurry up and get someone to clear the drainage channel in the yard, drain all the accumulated water first, and then ask the people from the Ministry of Works to see whether it should be blocked again or build a hot spring resort. .”

Lu Xu smiled and said, "Father, what do you think of my daughter's method?"

"It's just spending money to solve it. I thought you could do something better."

Lu Yi replied indifferently, and said to the steward: "Find some people to dredge the drainage channel in this yard first, and I will ask the people from the Ministry of Industry to come and have a look later."

Facing his father's cynicism, Lu Xu was so angry that he wanted to stomp his feet, and lay down on the bed sulking after returning home.

Suzaku came over and whispered: "This matter is over, but is this Fourth Young Master very powerful? Why are you so afraid of him?"

"I'm not afraid of him, but I think he's long-winded."

Lu Xu reluctantly explained the reason: "He can give you a long-term explanation for a trivial matter."

Suzaku recalled the staff of the Lu Mansion and said: "The fourth son is the second son of the third house. He is patrolling the family property along the coast, so there is nothing to be afraid of."

Lu Xu huddled under the quilt and said: "It's not going to be the end of the year soon. The New Year's ceremony for several uncles to honor their grandmothers is sent to Beijing every year by their cousins. When the fourth brother came back and saw that his study was flooded, he didn't know what happened. How long do you have to chatter?"

"It's only October, and there are still more than two months before the New Year's Day. When the young masters come back, the yard will be tidied up long ago. Miss, don't worry."

"The gap is so big, it must not be plugged." Lu Xu thought for a while and said, "If you want to convert it into a hot spring, two months is not enough... Forget it, anyway, the matter is over, and even if the fourth brother wants to talk about it, he won't have a partner. It could be me."

"Hurry up and go back to Master Liu, and tell me that something happened at the hot spring. The old lady told you to go over quickly and have a look."

Suddenly, Mama Ji's voice came from outside, and Lu Xu immediately got up and hurried out of the room, only to see Mama Ji standing outside the main house with an anxious expression on her face.

"Mommy, what's the matter, so anxious?"

Lu Xu stepped forward to ask, Ji's mother grabbed her hand and said, "Just now the steward arranged for someone to clear the drain, and someone found something moving in the water, so they followed the sound of the water, how did something jump out of the water?" .”

"Did that thing hurt someone?" Lu Xu asked curiously.

"It almost scared people to death."

Mother Ji opened her arms and gestured, "According to the person who came back to report, that thing is as big as a bucket, and its head is as high as a fence."

"Is it a snake?"

"There was too much moisture, and the people around couldn't see clearly."

Lu Xu immediately said to Suzaku: "Go and call Qingluan and the others, remember to bring your weapons."

Before Mama Ji could recover, Lu Xu had already rushed towards the courtyard with her skirt in hand, wanting to see what kind of monster it was.

Mother Ji was so frightened that she shouted from behind: "Miss Six, it's dangerous, don't go there, be careful not to be hurt by that thing."

Lu Yi arrived quickly upon hearing this.

Followed by Qingluan and the others, each of them held a long sword.

"Master Six..."

"I see, let's go and have a look."

Mother Ji said anxiously again: "Miss Six has already passed, and this old slave is worried that she is in danger."

As soon as Lu Yi heard this, he immediately performed lightness kung fu, and the four maids followed closely behind. From a distance, he saw Lu Xu standing still on the gate tower, and the five of them also landed on it.

"Xu'er, did you see that thing?"

"There was too much water vapor, I couldn't see anything, but I could hear movement in the water."

Lu Xu stared intently at the surface of the water and said, "No wonder the dark river connects to the Lu Mansion for no reason, it must be caused by these monsters drilling holes."

Suzaku almost couldn't stand still, and secretly complained: "It's so late, the lady is still busy throwing the pot away, but the lady is really lucky!"

The last time Nanchengmen assassinated Prince Ding, Liu Zhaoran helped her exterminate the corpse intentionally or unintentionally, and even took the blame for her, unexpectedly even monsters came out to help her out.

"Master Liu, the person who was stunned just now has woken up." The person in charge stood below and said, "He said that the thing is transparent in the water and can only be seen when it is out of the water. It’s also like a snake, with wings growing on its back, and he can’t tell what it is.”

"I see." Lu Xu yelled, "It's a snake, a mythical beast recorded in the "Shan Hai Jing."

"Water beast: human face, jackal body, winged, snake-like, with a voice like screaming." Lu Xu recited the contents, and then heard Lu Yi coldly said: "Everyone can understand."

"It means that there is a monster in the water, with a jackal body with a human face, a pair of wings growing from its back, and a snake-like lower body, which walks like a snake. Its voice is like a baby crying loudly, or like a woman scolding. "

Lu Xu briefly explained: "This thing is something recorded in the book, how could it appear in real life."

"That's what that person said." The manager thought for a while and added: "Maybe he was frightened and didn't see it clearly at the time. He added fuel to everything."

"It's not necessarily fake, maybe I didn't see the full appearance." Lu Yi stared at the spring water that kept gushing out, and slapped a few times to clean up the artificial rocks near the gap, and finally saw how big the gap was.

Seeing that it was as big as a round dining table, Lu Xu originally wanted to use armlets, but thought he was not familiar with it so he had to switch to a big stick.

The four girls also pulled out their long swords. Lu Xu closed his eyes and listened intently, but he didn't hear anything except the sound of water. Could it be that the monster had returned to the gap.

Due to the lack of time to clear the water, more and more water accumulated in the yard. Fortunately, there is a gap between the yard and the outside, otherwise the water would have already flowed out. If the monsters also swim out along the water, it would be a disaster without thinking about it.

Lu Xu thought for a while and said, "Father, monsters are well versed in water, and the deeper the water, the harder it is to deal with them. Let someone cut a hole from the bottom of the wall over there and let the water out first."

Looking at the water that was about to cover the stone steps, Lu Yichao nodded to the steward and said: "Do as Miss said, I would rather dig two more holes than dig too big, lest the monster escape from the hole and harm the innocent people outside. people."

Before the steward left, he asked again: "Master Liu, do you want to inform Shuntian Mansion about this?"

Lu Yin said yes, and saw Lu Xu slapping the water with a big stick, and asked, "Xuer, what are you doing?"

"My mother said that most of the creatures that live in the dark environment for a long time are blind. They can identify their direction through sound and smell, but they can only vibrate through water waves in the water..." Before Lu Xu could finish speaking , Suddenly a jet of water rushed out of the water, rushing towards the gate tower like thunder.

After Lu Yi saw it, he swung his sword without hesitation. The invisible sword energy hit the water column, and the water column retreated a few feet, still standing on the water.

Sure enough, it was Ji's mother who said that the body of the bucket has wings but not a human face. The whole body is transparent and there is only a white mass on the chest, so this thing is not a snake, but a creature that has never been seen in the dark river hot spring.

"Where is the white supposed to be the heart?"

Lu Xu asked uncertainly, now that is where the monster's vitals are.

Facing the creature that he had never seen before, Lu Yi's face was a little dignified. The sword energy just now couldn't hurt the monster in the slightest.

"Qingluan, send a distress signal."

Lu Yi calmly ordered: "We may not be able to deal with this monster."

Qingluan quickly took out the signal flare and threw it into the sky, the red fireworks could be seen clearly even in daytime.

At the capital, the crown prince and Fanxing were discussing matters, when suddenly Bao Guang came in and said, "Your Highness, Prime Minister Lu sent out a red distress signal, and the location is inside Lu's mansion."

The red signal represents confidentiality and urgency, which means that outsiders should not be informed of urgent matters.

Immediately, Fanxing thought that something might have happened to Lu Xu, so he didn't even need a carriage, and went directly to Lu's mansion with lightness kung fu.

"Bao Guang, tell Bai Ying to lead someone to protect him outside the Lu Mansion, and not allow any suspicious people to leave, let alone allow irrelevant people to enter the Lu Mansion."

After Mo Jinli hastily confessed, he also rushed to the Lu Mansion. It was definitely not Lu Xu who was in danger, but something unusual happened to the Lu Manor that could cause Lu Yi to send such a signal. Someone should tell his father and let the Lu family People in the capital see if there are any changes in Kyoto recently.

"Let people enter the palace and report to the emperor."

"The slave obeys."

Baoguang answered while running, and when he got to the door, he jumped on his horse and went to inform Bai Ying first.

In Lu's mansion, everyone heard the movement, but Lu Yi reminded them early that no matter what happened, they were hiding in the house.

Although the old lady was worried, she remained calm and knelt in front of the Buddha statue to pray.

The fourth and fifth wives hid in the room with their daughters and a lot of maids and wives, while the men guarded outside with sticks.

Lu Yi used all his strength to make a few moves, but he didn't hurt the monster at all. He was very shocked. He was afraid that today's things would not be good. He turned his head and wanted his daughter to leave immediately, and saw a transparent giant sword.

"You all stand back."

Lu Xu spoke calmly, and once again activated his internal force, a terrifying force emanated from his body.

Lu Yi was shocked when he saw his daughter's strength, so he retreated to a fence near the gatehouse without thinking much, and watched her daughter's move quietly.

Facing a powerful unknown enemy, Lu Xu no longer concealed his strength, and condensed the water as a sword to push forward unambiguously, stabbing at the white part of the monster like a sharp arrow, and the monster still did not dodge or evade as before .

The giant sword stabbed directly at the white part of the monster, but collapsed instantly upon impact, and did not cause any damage to the monster.

Seeing this scene, both father and daughter took a deep breath. Unexpectedly, this monster was so difficult to deal with. Lu Xu turned his head and said, "Father, did mother leave any powerful firearms behind? Hurry up and take them out for emergency."

"With firearms, do you want to blow up the Lu Mansion?"

Lu Yi asked coldly, Han'er left behind a lot of powerful things, but once used, the consequences would be more serious.

Lu Xu had no choice but to wait for the firearms, "Then we can only delay the monster from leaving the courtyard, and let people go to the palace to ask if there is any record about the monster."

Back then, this place was the capital, and it must have gone through many inspections before construction. I remember clearly how many underground rivers there are below, and there should be relevant records on it, and even the method to decipher what is in the underground river.

Lu Yi immediately gave Suzaku a wink...

Suzaku flew away immediately and hurried to the palace to check.

Lu Xu stared at the monster, took off the bracelet on his arm, and pressed the mechanism to turn it into a soft whip.

There was no extra movement, the inner force was running and the true energy was swung out with the soft whip, and a crackling sound could be heard clearly, as if the whip hit a monster.

The huge body of the monster swayed slightly in the air.

He fixed his body and opened his mouth to spray Lu Xu, a jet of water rushed towards Lu Xu faster than an arrow.

Lu Xu immediately moved to the side.

When he turned his head and saw the water column, his scalp felt numb.

The monster's water column pierced directly through where she stood and the ground below.

Faced with such a powerful force, Lu Xu was secretly glad that he did not take it hard, and gave the monster another whip without thinking twice.

The power was stronger than the previous two shots, and a crackling sound could still be clearly heard, and the huge body of the monster remained motionless.

Lu Xu suddenly felt something was wrong.

Just now when my father took out the sword, the sword energy could still make the monster retreat, why did she not move at all when she made the move.
