"The Supreme Lord is as urgent as the law!"
After giving the order, the compass bounced up easily, and after trembling slightly for a while, it pointed straight upstream. Sure enough, there were people hiding in the reeds in the defense area, and there should be quite a few of them.
After walking for a while with the compass in hand, Zhang Xing soon came to a particularly large reed marsh. After walking several times, he noticed some uneasy atmosphere and movement in the reed marsh and chose to stick close to the reeds. Swinging, holding the knife and walking towards the river - God knows how many people are hiding here.
This section of Yishui is not wide and the current is not fast, but because it is close to Dongdu and has been drained many times, it seems to be deeper in the middle. It was early winter, and the wellheads and water tanks in Dongdu City had begun to freeze. Here in Yishui, the mudflats and reed swamps on the edge were also frozen. It was only under the sun for a day that there were still ice flowers in the shade.
Considering that there are still deep mountains to drill through after crossing the river, and there is no food, if the servants choose to swim across the river, it is undoubtedly equivalent to giving up half their lives first, and those who can't swim will die directly.
No wonder he hid in the reeds and waited.
But what are you waiting for?
Will it freeze at night?
Or are you counting on some hero to descend from the sky, kill the wandering dog in golden clothes with one sword, and then take everyone there one by one?
However, Zhang Xing did not think that the river would be iced thick enough at night for pedestrians to walk on it.
After thinking for a moment, the patrolman in brocade clothes with a white ribbon hanging around his waist suddenly pulled out his sword, then cut a bunch of reeds in front of the reed swamp, which was already a little flustered, and turned around and threw it at the junction of the mudflat and the river with some ice residue. Then, the golden-clad dog leaned over and inserted his hand into the water.
The true energy gushes out along the most basic network of positive channels, easily freezing the reeds in the water, just as casual and simple as his habitual small actions in daily life.
A stream of light flashed through the air, but Zhang Xing ignored it. Instead, he turned around, cut a second bunch of reeds, and spread it on the small mixture of ice, water, mud, and reeds, and then continued to release the ice in his body through his limbs. Infuriated.
As soon as the light was gone, Zhang Xing worked more and more seriously and faster. Soon his little toy had spread out a little. It was two lumps connected by reeds and thin ice. It was actually thick. To the ice that can carry people, it is like the pontoon bridge has the first two foundations.
Then the third, fourth, and fifth pieces.
Finally, before the sun completely set, a strange 'ice chain bridge' spanning most of the river appeared on the river.
At this time, the temperature is already very low. I believe that as time goes by, the ice in the river will only become thicker and thicker.
But it still didn't work. It still didn't look like a real bridge. The front half had no mechanical structure at all, and the back half even lacked two bundles of reeds. More importantly, if you continue to wait, some people will not be able to recognize where the 'bridge' is after dark.
Zhang Xing no longer hesitated. This time, he accurately threw a large bunch of reeds, then stepped on the ice floe and staggered to the middle of the river. Then, he pulled out his knife and inserted it into the thin reed in the gap under his feet. Under the ice, right down to the flowing water.
Finally, the true energy in Dantian was released by this person without any scruples using the attributes he was most familiar with. This was the first time since that formation that he had no scruples, and even tried his best to release the reserves in his dantian.
The setting sun was setting, the sky was full of bamboo, and there was no other sound around.
As the zhenqi surged and followed the knife, the river rippled continuously at first, but soon a huge white cold air emerged. The cold air filled the river surface, like fog rising from the ground, covering Zhang Xing's figure. But eventually the patch of water beneath the bunch of reeds froze solid.
At this point, Zhang Xing had exhausted all his energy and could only use the last glimmer of light to stagger back. However, after just two steps, he realized something and turned around again and staggered away to the other side of the river.
Facts have proved that even though he came to the river, he still stepped into knee-deep icy water... This clearly proved his strength and the instability of the ice bridge... But overall, he still successfully walked across the river.
After walking over, Zhang Xing didn't dare to stop for a moment. He immediately turned to the opposite side of a small slope facing the river and lay down with his back to this side.
At this time, the sky was completely dark, but someone finally took the risk to get out of the reed swamp, imitating the strange knight in brocade clothes before, and crossed the river on a mixture of ice and reeds.
But these had nothing to do with Zhang Xing. His legs once again returned to the worst feeling at the beginning, which reminded him of the strange feeling he had about the world when he first arrived.
It's like the world has become unreal again.
Of course, this was most likely due to pure exhaustion, to the point of blurring consciousness.
But not long after, before Zhang Xing fell asleep or passed out, someone suddenly spoke above his head: "You can try running Lihuo Qi on your legs... you should be able to do it, right?"
Zhang Xing remained silent, but directly began to try to activate the Lihuo Qi, which made him feel a little better.
"Is it worth it?" The man above him said coldly.
Zhang Xing finally looked up, but only rolled his eyes.
"Yes." The man above him continued, but with a smile that was either mocking or appreciative. "Speaking of which, the first time we met was also by the river. It was by the river. You were leaning against a big tree with a corpse. You were wearing dirty clothes with blood stains that were almost in pieces. You had an unkempt beard, and your hair and face were all covered. It was dust, and then he was gnawing on a piece of cornmeal, but towards me, Li Shu, and Xu Dalang, they all had a condescending attitude, as if they were so noble... Even now, I still can't change it."
"The inspection team is also very arrogant..." Zhang Xing thought thoughtfully. "To this day, I still remember the proud look on my face when the inspector took me across the river and looked at me with shock."
"It's different. You are arrogant in your heart, but I am arrogant on the surface." The person standing on the small slope above Zhang Xing's head, Bai Yousi, responded with a sigh. "Just like now, when you do this kind of thing, you are basically counting everyone out and taking on this kind of thing by yourself... It's like saying, look, there are no good people in Jing'an Terrace. Yes, I, Zhang Sanlang, am the only one willing to treat these common people as human beings and willing to risk my life to save them... right?"
Zhang Xing opened his mouth to speak.
"I know, but when you do good deeds, don't ask for unnecessary things... If you are poor, you can be good for yourself, if you are rich, you can help the world... You can do great things as much as you have the ability... People are the first thing in everything... The person you save is priceless, no matter what else. ?" Bai Yousi opened his mouth and said one thing after another. "I heard these words from you. I can almost recite them."
Zhang Xing was silent for a moment and finally asked: "Aren't these words wrong?"
Bai Yousi shook his head slowly at first, but after a pause, he finally nodded slightly amidst Zhang Xing's expectations:
"right."
The sound was very short and crisp, with a little bit of white air rolled up by the way - this was very strange, it meant that the master of the Dan Condensation stage suddenly let go of his body-protecting energy and let himself face everything on this winter night.
"I try to let as few people know that I am doing the right thing, isn't it right?" On the early winter night, Zhang Xing, who was also breathing white air, felt slightly relieved and continued to lie there and asked.
"Of course it makes sense." Bai Yousi turned her head to look elsewhere, but she didn't know what she saw in the dark night, or what she was avoiding. Only a trace of white air flashed from her mouth.
"Finally." Zhang Xing turned over and sat up, looked at the person above his head, and asked seriously. "How does the inspection know who I deliberately hid from you today?"
Bai Yousi was startled for a moment, then realized: "Are you waiting for me? Did you guess that I would come?"
"Not bad." Zhang Xing answered seriously. "But I still did it, because I have always regarded the inspection as one of the few people in the world that I can rely on, alongside Qin Erlang. It was then, and it is the same today... There are some things that the inspection does not know about. , the inspection team knows about it, and I’m very happy too.”
Bai Yousi was silent for a while, then said softly: "Thank you very much."
"But I'm still quite curious." Zhang Xing continued to sit on the ground and asked. "How did the inspector know that I can use Lihuo Qi? Did your omniscient father tell me, or did you guess or see with your own eyes that I can use Immortality Qi, so you tried to ask?"
"I saw it with my own eyes." Bai Yousi seemed a little embarrassed, but luckily the night covered everything. "But I'm also curious, when did you know that I was watching you?"
"It was the second day after the incident in Yanqingfang. They said there might be a master of pill condensation in Yanqingfang, so I could only think that he was inspecting you." Zhang Xing explained briefly. "After all, a master of condensing pills is the most difficult person to control in the world. Sometimes he is even harder to control than a grandmaster or a grand master... And a master of condensing pills is willing to be so childish and principled, yet he violates the law and The only person in the world who comes to kill people is you, the paranoid, arrogant, naive and ungrounded Bai Yousi." At this point, Zhang Xing seemed to want to laugh. "And don't forget, the inspector had peeped at me on the roof before. After I was reciting a poem, he suddenly interrupted me..."
"I have already become a pill." Bai Yousi suddenly interrupted the other party.
"What?" Zhang Xing was confused for a moment.
"After the list came out, within half a month, I became an elixir." Bai Yousi finally looked back at the person at his feet.
"Congratulations on the inspection." Zhang Xing sincerely handed over his hand. "Can I be more wanton?"
"That's not what I meant, I meant... Zhang Sanlang?"
"I am here."
"I'm already visualizing, carving the exterior scenes into the inner alchemy."
"oh!"
"I have been studying art for more than ten years. Soon after I came out of the mountain, I was invited by Zhongcheng to join Jing'an Terrace. I originally thought that I would be like Emperor Bai and Zhongcheng, visualizing laws and rules, or enforcing the law like a mountain. Such concepts, but I also thought about throwing away these shackles and visualizing a sword, just like when Emperor Bai sat down and visualized a history book..." Bai Yousi's tone seemed a little bit... confused.
"Actually, I have to be honest, watching a sword is quite suitable for patrolling you." Zhang Xing couldn't help but interjected.
"But everything changed after you came to me." Bai Yousi shook his head repeatedly. "Zhang Sanlang, no one around me has ever acted like you, and no one has said these words or done these things like you... So, by some strange coincidence, when I heard what you said, it was you who What Li Shu said was also the first time I heard an interesting thing you said, 'Everything is people-oriented'..."
"I know."
"You don't know, you don't know anything." Bai Yousi responded quietly, seeming a little angry. "The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this sentence was correct, so after I successfully condensed the elixir, I visualized people!"
Zhang Xingben wanted to say, what about visualizing people? It is obviously more powerful than visualizing a sword, and if you want to become a dragon, visualizing a toad might even become a god.
However, the next moment, he suddenly realized something and shut up and remained motionless.
"The first person I visualized was not my father, not Zhong Cheng, or anyone else in the patrol team...it was you!" Bai Yousi finally sighed. "Zhang Xing, I'm visualizing you and preparing to carve you into my inner alchemy... but it's too difficult."
Zhang Xing was stunned.
After a long while, he responded with a twist: "Actually, I'm not that complicated... Isn't it because the world is not good, and there is something wrong with the court recently, so I bowed down a little and hid to do some copywriting, which made the inspection work hard. Yeah… I’m actually quite proud.”
"Yes, even if you are a copywriter, you are much more heroic than others." Bai Yousi suddenly laughed. "I didn't misjudge the person."
After saying that, Bai Yousi leaned over and rolled up Zhang Xing with one hand. He just jumped in the air and floated across Yishui, just like he was on the bank of the river that day.
The jianjia is green and the white dew is frost. The so-called Yi people are on the same side as my Yi water.
While floating across the reed swamp, Zhang Xing inexplicably remembered this sentence.
ps: Happy New Year to everyone in advance.
