Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 167

"Oh, as Yin soldiers, is it dangerous to catch a few ghosts?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

The dark-faced Yin soldier also said with a sad face: "The young master doesn't know something. Although we two brothers have become Yin soldiers, it is still difficult to deal with some high-level ghosts, let alone the ghosts in that place. The raging, almost all of the dozen or so ghost servants under the younger brother were destroyed, and only a few ghost servants who were greedy for life and fear of death ran away. Even the younger two brothers violated the order of the city god and ran back. If not, I’m afraid I won’t be able to come back.”

Listening to the words of these two Yin soldiers, Li Xiuyuan immediately thought of what the City God had done before.

This Guobei City God is indeed a bit tricky, because he wants to calculate himself, knowing that the two yin soldiers under him have taken refuge in him, and he is afraid of leaking the news, so he has all these two yin soldiers and the dozen or so ghosts under his command. dispatched.

Its purpose is naturally very simple, that is to exclude dissidents.

As for the raging ghosts in that place, the City God probably knew about it, and they just killed the two ghost soldiers and the dozens of ghosts by the hands of those ghosts.

This kind of trick of borrowing a knife to kill people, this city god is very skilled in using it.

"You disobeyed the order of the city god and came to my place. Are you taking refuge here?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

The blue-faced Yin soldier hurriedly said: "No, not dead, the young master misunderstood, we escaped not only because we couldn't deal with those ghosts, but also for another very important reason."

"Is it the reason?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

The blue-faced Yin soldier said: "Didn't it rain here all the time? I'm afraid the young master didn't know something. The torrential rain in the upper reaches of the Wujiang River was heavier some time ago, and the villages and towns near the Wujiang River have been submerged at this moment." Quite a lot, look at the trend, the flood of the Wujiang River is probably going to spread all the way down."

"That's right, the flood of the Wujiang River is rushing down like a dike. I thought it didn't rain here, and the flood would be fine, but, but" the black-faced Yin soldier said, but he didn't dare to say any more.

Li Xiuyuan's expression became solemn in an instant; "But it's been raining heavily here, and now the vicinity of Guobei City is full of water, and even half of the city is full of water. If the flood of Wujiang River rushes over, the entire Guobei City may be destroyed flooded."

"Yes, it is."

The blue-faced Yin Soldier said in a trembling voice; "The two young brothers have been walking all the way, and the road is full of water, and the road has been submerged. If you look at this trend, when the Wujiang River floods, the nearby rivers will collapse instantly. I'm afraid the city will be flooded by then."

"Wujiang Dragon King, how dare he do this?"

Li Xiuyuan suddenly became furious, and slammed the desk with such force that the room seemed to shake.

Could it be that the Dragon King of Wujiang didn't have a brain, did he really dare to flood Guo Beicheng?
To do so is not to bear a little bit of karma, it is to suffer a boundless murder, even if he is spared by himself, the gods will not be able to spare him.

"Big, young master, young one, when they passed by the Wujiang River, they asked a water ghost, and the water ghost said that the reason for the flooding of the Wujiang River was not because the Dragon King of Wujiang River was casting spells, but because the Dragon King of Wujiang River was not in the Wujiang River. The Dragon King quelled the flood and dredged the river, which caused the Wujiang River to swell." The blue-faced soldier hurriedly said.

"Is that so?"

Li Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment.

Could it be that the flood in Wujiang River was not controlled by the Dragon King of Wujiang River.

"Mr. Li, I know about this matter. It is probably because the Dragon King of Wujiang has been spreading clouds and rain unreasonably these days, so that the river is full and the water is spreading. Now I am afraid that the flood will spread to the extent that the entire Guobei City boundary The waters are completely out of control."

I don't know when the Eight Great Kings crawled outside the door, stuck out his head into the room, and said.

"What a big old turtle." The black-faced soldier said in surprise.

"It's not the turtle, it's the turtle." The Eight Great Kings said.

Li Xiuyuan waved his hand as a signal, and said in a deep voice: "Eighth King, you continue."

The Eighth King continued: "Before I should have told Mr. Li that the Dragon King of Wujiang sealed off the large and small waters around Wujiang because of the disappearance of his son. In order to find his son, so many spirits in the waters were persecuted. , Many of these spirits are small gods who are responsible for calming a certain water area, and the Dragon King of Wujiang has persecuted them all. Now that the heavy rain is falling, there is no small god in charge of managing the water area, so there will inevitably be a tendency to flood."

"It doesn't matter if there are a few little gods missing, but this time there are too many. There are too many flooded waters. Since ancient times, the water has flowed to the lower places. Now the water in these lakes and rivers may have gathered together. If, as the Yin soldier said, the Wujiang River also flooded, then all the big water and small water will gather together, even if the Dragon King of the Wujiang River comes in person, it will not be able to stop such a huge flood, and Guo Beicheng will be flooded by then. Nine out of ten."

Speaking of this, the Eight Great Kings sighed again: "I'm afraid the Dragon King of Wujiang didn't realize this. His domineering style will bring such great harm. This is a catastrophe."

After listening to what the Eight Great Kings said, Li Xiuyuan immediately understood the seriousness of the matter.

The Eight Great Kings are also the little gods of a water area, so they naturally know very well about water conservancy matters, so their deduction at this moment should not be false.

But thinking that Guo Beicheng would be flooded, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but feel his heart sink.

Floods, even before coming to this world, were a catastrophe, let alone ancient times.

"Mr. Li, don't hesitate. Take your family and flee to a place with mountains. You still have time before the flood comes." The Eighth King said.

"When will the flood arrive?" Li Xiuyuan took a breath and asked.

The Eighth King turned to ask, "Where did the Wujiang River overflow?"

"We two brothers passed by Wujiang Town when we came back, and the water has already flooded the street and entered the houses." The black-faced Yin soldier thought for a while and said.

"How many houses have been flooded?"

"Waist-high."

The Eight Great Kings made a calculation in their minds, and stretched out their heads to look at the sky outside. Although the sky outside was dark, it was because of the rain, and it was almost the time of day.

"With this amount of water, the flood will reach Guobei City before noon."

"So there are still two hours left." Li Xiuyuan said.

The Eighth King shook his head and said: "No, that's not how it is calculated. It's only one hour. Although there is not much water in the upper reaches, it will continue to accumulate power all the way down. After an hour, the big water will become The flood is raging, and even if the flood does not reach Guobei City by then, it will be too late, and one hour is not enough to take refuge in a safe place."

Li Xiuyuan understood what the Eight Great Kings meant.

Although the flood didn't arrive until two hours later, you would have no chance to take refuge after one hour, because you couldn't outrun the flood at all.

"Eldest young master, it's better to take refuge as soon as possible without delay." The two Yin soldiers immediately cupped their hands.

Li Xiuyuan was silent, he didn't have the urge to take refuge immediately before the catastrophe came, on the contrary, he wanted to vent his killing intent.

This killing intent was aimed at the Wujiang Dragon King.

If the Dragon King of Wujiang hadn't acted so recklessly, how could such a catastrophe have come.

But right now, Li Xiuyuan knew it was not time to waste, he looked at the two Yin soldiers and said: "We may be the only ones in the whole Guobei City who know that the flood is coming, and now there is still an hour to go, you guys The two went to the City God's Temple to find the City God, asked him to entrust a dream to the people of the whole city, and informed the people to take refuge."

"Eldest young master, the younger one has been to the City God Temple before, but the Lord City God has been hiding in the statue and has not shown up. I don't know why." The blue-faced Yin Soldier said.

"What, there is such a thing?" Li Xiuyuan was furious.

"Yes, it is."

Li Xiuyuan gritted his teeth and said, "None of these goddamn gods can be relied upon in critical times. Go and inform the people in the city as much as you can, and let them take refuge. As for the city god, I will turn to him to settle the score."

"Yes, young master."

The two Yin soldiers responded and left immediately.

However, it is not known how many people can be notified and how much effect can be achieved with the power of these two Yin soldiers.

It's just that right now, Li Xiuyuan feels that he can do as many things as he can.

At this moment, he strode out of the study and came to the bedroom, woke up the two servant girls, Xiaodie and Du Chunhua, and then summoned the guards who had not slept for a long time.

"I don't have time to explain. Guo Beicheng will be submerged in the flood soon. You go to the Escort Bureau to inform the others to evacuate quickly. The rest of you immediately escort Xiaodie and Du Chunhua to Wangchuan Mountain. Wu Fei's place is high and will not be submerged by water, so you go there to take refuge."

"No, it's not right, young master, there's going to be a flood here." The guards were shocked.

Even Xiaodie and Du Chunhua beside them also turned pale with fright.

Li Xiuyuan nodded solemnly: "Could it be that I will lie to you about this matter, act immediately, you only have one hour, after an hour, don't leave the city before you leave the city, run to the city wall, Guobei City Wall Tall, not to be submerged in the flood.”

"Yes, young master."

All the guards were startled at this moment, they woke up from their doze, and hurriedly acted.

Even Lu Bo's hands and feet became nimble all of a sudden, and after giving a salute, he immediately ran out of the mansion.

After a while, the guards came back with their horses.

"Master, let's go."

Li Xiuyuan said: "You take Xiaodie and Du Chunhua away, and I will stay here."

"Master, the flood is coming, what are you doing here?" The guard was startled.

"Of course I have my plan, you guys leave quickly." Li Xiuyuan said.

"Master, this flood is so dangerous, what are you doing here, go with your servant." Xiaodie was about to burst into tears.

Du Chunhua next to her was also grabbing her young master's arm, looking anxious.

Li Xiuyuan said: "I stay here because I still have things to do."

"But."

At this time, the Eight Great Kings crawled over and said, "Don't worry, you can leave. Mr. Li is here with me. Although my morals are damaged, it is not a problem to protect a person when the flood comes."

"Take them away." Li Xiuyuan said.

The guards gritted their teeth and said, "You two girls, I've offended you."

After speaking, he forcibly took the two away, regardless of how they cried and struggled.

They knew very well that even though Xiaodie and Du Chunhua were maidservants on the surface, they would actually be the female relatives in the eldest and young master's room from now on, so they had to be taken care of.
