The stillness of heaven and earth only lasted for a moment.
Shu Guan raised his arms and the river stopped flowing.
Then Shu Guan clasped his palms together, and the river water resumed its flow.
It's just that it's flowing backwards.
The flood water that surged out of the river on both sides of the bank and was about to submerge the fields immediately rolled back and fell back into the river as Shu Guan closed his palms, as if being pulled by some mysterious force.
The river in front of Shu Guan continued to flow forward, but those huge waves had disappeared, and the water flow was no longer violent. Instead, it was the same as before, flowing toward the distance at a mighty but gentle speed. flow away.
Outside the mouth of the canyon, the four-legged snake was still twisting its body excitedly in the river.
Therefore, the river water rushing out of the canyon was still violent and wanton, but once all the river water flowed past Shuguan, it immediately became mellow, and no wave broke out of the river.
Not a drop!
Because Shu Guan still raised his arms high, the golden character "湓" above his head was still emitting a golden glow.
It's just that the spiritual power in Shu Guan's body was disappearing at an extremely exaggerated speed. If it weren't for the fact that his meridians were far wider than a normal practitioner, and if it weren't for the fact that he was just acquainted with the realm of the First Layer for the first time, there was still something stored in his body. The powerful spiritual power is comparable to that of a strong person in the Fetal Movement Realm. If he hadn't tempered several acupoints during this period, Shu Guan might not have been able to hold on long ago.
Even with a magical Taoist skill like Huan Shu, controlling the flow of a large river is by no means an easy task.
...How long will this guy continue to play...
…It’s so energetic, I’ll give it twice as much energy when we start the journey tomorrow…
Shu Guan helplessly looked at the four-legged snake that was still making noise outside the mouth of the canyon, and cursed a few times.
However, Shu Guan did not make a sound to urge the four-legged snake.
Since you want to let it play, you must let it have fun, otherwise everything you do before is meaningless.
This was the method Shu Guan came up with to help the four-legged snake cross the Dragon-Slaying Bridge.
We cannot allow the four-legged snake to swim obediently under the Zhanlong Bridge, as this will suppress and destroy its Taoist heart.
Of course, the four-legged snake cannot be allowed to flood the farmland and villages outside the canyon, otherwise the four-legged snake will inevitably be killed by the dragon-slaying sword, and Shu Guan himself does not want to see such a situation.
This was originally a dilemma.
But because Shu Guan learned the art of Huan by chance, he had one more choice.
Shuguan's choice was to let the four-legged snake play as much as he wanted while he was responsible for wiping its butt.
That is to say, the four-legged snake was allowed to stir up the water to cross the bridge, while he used the Huan technique to control the water flow and prevent the flood from overflowing out of the river.
Along the way, Shu Guan has tried to control the river water many times with Huan Shu. He is relatively confident that he can control the flood caused by the four-legged snake.
The only thing that made Shu Guan have some doubts was that he didn't know if this method could be "accepted" by the sword under the Dragon-Slaying Bridge.
At this moment, Shu Guan's eyes were fixed on the strange-shaped feldspar under Zhanlong Bridge.
After the four-legged snake rushed across the Zhanlong Bridge, the water level in the canyon had dropped a bit, and the bridge body of the Zhanlong Bridge was exposed to the water again, so Shu Guan could clearly see the strange-shaped feldspar.
The current situation of the strange-shaped feldspar is very strange.
From time to time it would tremble violently, and a lot of dust and stone chips would fall from it, but it would soon stop, only to start trembling again soon after.
If you compare it to a person, then this sword seems to be in a situation of logical confusion.
Because the rule set by the sword immortal at the time was that if there were any dragons that dared to cause floods wantonly, they would be killed. If they restrained the water force and crossed the bridge, their lives could be spared.
But the problem now is that this dragon obviously made waves and rushed over the bridge, but it did not cause a flood.
For a moment, I didn't know if I should kill with this sword or not.
Of course, if this sword has its own intelligence, maybe it can be easily
Judgment was made.
Too bad it didn't.
Regarding this point, Shu Guan had already asked Xiao Yi.
When he boarded the Dragon-Slaying Bridge during the day, the first thing he did was to ask Xiaoyi to communicate with the sword to see if he could get the Dragon-Slaying Sword to raise its noble hand and let the four-legged snake pass.
At this time, Shu Guan really thought of the first method.
If the matter can be solved so easily, Shu Guan naturally doesn't want to make himself too tired.
However, Xiaoyi told him that there was no real intelligent spirit in this sword, only a simple thought.
In their artificial intelligence terminology, it is:
After setting certain preconditions, the only options for this sword are 0 and 1, which means it can be cut without cutting.
Shu Guan's current behavior was tantamount to exploiting the loophole in the precondition, so the sword fell into logical chaos.
...Then let it slowly become chaotic...
Shu Guan smiled like this.
It's just that the spiritual power in his body is almost exhausted at this time, and the word "湓" above his head is gradually dimming.
Fortunately, at this time, the four-legged snake seemed to have finally had enough fun, flicking its tail, and swam towards him.
And in such a short few minutes, the appearance of the four-legged snake has changed a lot.
Its body became longer, about twenty meters long, and its huge head became more square, looking like a camel's head.
"Hunchback", another form of the dragon's nine shapes appears on the four-legged snake.
Moreover, long whiskers began to grow on the neck, and at the same time, the single horn on the top of the head had grown to about two feet long.
The four claws under the abdomen also become thicker.
This guy looks more and more like a real dragon.
Perhaps it is no longer appropriate to call it a four-legged snake. Should we give it another name?
Shu Guan began to consider this issue.
On the Dragon-Zhanying Bridge, Han Biao nodded to the young man next to him who still seemed to be petrified, and then jumped off the Dragon-Zhanying Bridge.
The four-legged snake below suddenly jumped up and picked up Han Biao on his back.
At this time, the four-legged snake has passed more than half of its journey across the river, and is infinitely close to the real dragon.
The back of a dragon will never be easy for people to stand on or ride on, unless it is willing to surrender to you and be your mount.
Of course, the four-legged snake catching Han Biao at this moment was definitely not out of surrender, but out of gratitude.
Thanks to Han Biao for blocking the young man just now, so that he could not be disturbed while he was rushing through the water and the bridge.
Following Han Biao, the four-legged snake swung its long body and arrived in front of Shu Guan in an instant.
Then it turned its head towards Shuguan and motioned for Shuguan to come on its back.
The look in its eyes when it looked at Shu Guan was not just gratitude, but gratitude and thanksgiving, with many more emotions.
At this time, the water waves in the river had completely calmed down.
The strange-shaped feldspar under the Dragon-Slaying Bridge no longer trembles. It seems that between 0 and 1, the sword has finally made its choice.
Shu Guan smiled slightly, then took a step forward and stepped on the back of the four-legged snake.
The four-legged snake raised its head high and let out a clear and long dragon roar. The dragon roar was so joyful and pleasant.
Then the four-legged snake flicked its tail and swam away into the distance.
"who are you?"
A confused and confused question came from behind.
Shu Guan looked back and saw that the young man also jumped off the Dragon-Zhan Bridge and came to the side of another girl. He looked at him hesitantly and slightly nervously, and asked in a loud voice.
Academy disciples...
Looking at them, Shu Guan seemed to see his senior brothers and partners in Jingcheng.
Although the appearance is completely different, the temperament is exactly the same.
That's a disciple of the Seven Immortals Alliance
Unique temperament.
I used to be one of them, but unfortunately I can't go back.
Shu Guan had no regrets at this time, but he had some indifferent regrets.
Shu Guan did not answer the academy disciple's question, but smiled and waved to the young man and woman, turned around and rode the dragon away.
One dragon and two people floated away along the river.
The river flowed eastward, and soon the two figures were no longer visible.
Xu Jingsheng and Xia Xiaohong were still standing on the bank of the river in a daze.
This experience should be something they will never forget.
After a long time, Xia Xiaohong asked in a low voice.
"Brother, who are they?"
"...I don't know, that person...that person...is so strange..."
"Why is it weird?"
"I can't tell. I just feel familiar, but I've never seen him before..."
Xu Jingsheng murmured, with endless doubts in his eyes.
Xia Xiao looked at him with a pair of bright and round almond-shaped eyes, feeling that the third senior brother was so cute when he was in a daze.
...Well, compared with that person, my third senior brother is better looking...
Xia Xiaohong thought so, and then asked one last question.
"Senior brother, is that person more powerful than the master?"
She had become a practitioner not long ago, and she only felt that the master was very powerful, and the young man was also very powerful, but she couldn't tell who was more powerful.
Xu Jingsheng was silent for a moment, then said softly:
"He is more powerful than Master, much more powerful..."
At least the master would never be able to do it. He could stop a river and then flow backwards by raising his hand.
Xu Jingsheng thought so.
…
Yuzhang City.
In a dark and secluded alley, a man wearing a homespun cloth with a dagger on his shoulders, dressed like an old farmer who had just come to the city from the countryside, slowly walked down the alleyway where sewage flowed and the smell filled his nose. Walking.
Deep in the alley, there were several ruffians with disheveled clothes and slanted eyes, lazily leaning against the wall, smoking cheap cigarettes, talking and laughing loudly.
When Paper-Paper Man passed by them, several local gangsters looked at Paper-Paper Man and their eyes became a little strange, as if they were judging whether they could squeeze some oil out of this old country man.
Then they noticed the bulging gauze on Bai Zhanweng's shoulders, and their eyes suddenly lit up.
Several gangsters exchanged glances with each other, and then one of them, who seemed to be the leader, threw away his cigarette butt, laughed strangely, and strode after White Paper Man.
But before he had taken a few steps, he suddenly let out a scream, then fell down holding his legs, wailing and rolling on the ground in pain.
Several other gangsters quickly gathered around, but suddenly the sole of one of their boss's feet had been severed from the ankle. Blood spurted out, and the incision was extremely smooth, as if it had been cut by some sharp blade.
But the problem is where did the sharp blade come from on the ground, and the boss was walking well just now, why did his foot suddenly break?
For a moment, these gangsters were inexplicably horrified, looking around in panic and fear.
In the dim alleyway, somewhere beyond their sight, there was a small blood-stained paper figure, quietly hiding in a corner.
But Paper Old Man didn't look back, and still walked slowly, as if he couldn't hear the harsh screams and exclamations behind him.
This is the hidden place of Yuzhang City. Occasionally, it will teach a few short-sighted mortals, and the Seven Immortals Alliance will basically not know about it.
Paper Old Man walked to the deepest part of this alley.
At the deepest part of the alley is a house with a thick iron door.
Paper Man walked to the iron door, grabbed the round handle on the iron plate, and knocked it a few times.
After waiting for about ten seconds, a small window on the iron door was opened, and the face of a big man with one eye appeared in the iron window.
The one-eyed man with a ferocious and ugly appearance looked at the paper man up and down and asked coldly:
"What's up?"
"I'm looking for an old knife handler."
The white paper man said this.
Then the one-eyed man's expression suddenly changed, becoming extremely polite and respectful.
The iron door was quickly opened, and the one-eyed man respectfully welcomed the white paper man in.
Behind the iron gate is a long passage.
"You come with me."
Then the one-eyed man led the paper boy towards the inside.
After walking through the passage, there is a hall. The furnishings in the hall are extremely simple. There are more than a dozen gambling tables in it. At this time, each gambling table is crowded with people, most of whom are wearing shabby and worn clothes, and each of them stares with blood-red eyes. There, they drank, drank, and gambled money.
The hall was full of smoke and extremely noisy.
The one-eyed man did not stop and led the paper-white man further inside, through the hall and into another passage.
This passage is wider than the previous passage. On both sides are rooms with thick curtains hanging down. In some rooms, the curtains are opened, and you can see people lying on the bed and smoking cigarettes. The whole passage is filled with the smell of ** *The peculiar smell of smoke.
The one-eyed man reached the end of the passage first. At the end of the passage was a wooden door. The one-eyed man knocked on the door, and the wooden door quickly opened from the inside.
The person who opened the door was an extremely charming young woman. Not to mention her extremely graceful figure, just her eyes could make men think of this woman in bed.
"Master, please come in."
The one-eyed man bowed to signal.
The white paper man did not go in directly, but squinted his triangular eyes and wandered around the woman's graceful body.
But he didn't think of the bed, his eyes were extremely cold.
Paper Man is not interested in women. He only likes money and things that can make him stronger and make more money, such as the dragon.
...The person who succeeded in channeling qi just now should be the new female disciple of Lao Dao Gao Zi...
Paper Old Man made a judgment on the woman's identity.
And he knew this woman wouldn't live long.
Lao Daobaozi is such a person. He likes women very much, but will quickly lose interest.
The problem is, Lao Dao Baozi also has a quirk, that is, he will never let anyone else touch a woman he has touched again. As for how to ensure this, it is naturally to kill the woman.
Paperbag has always felt that he is not a good person, but compared with Lao Daobaozi, he is at least a normal person.
Then he stepped into the room behind the wooden door. The woman smiled coquettishly at him and handed him a mask and a black burqa.
On the mask was a long machete.
Paper Man put the mask on his face and then put on his burqa.
Then the charming woman twisted her waist and led him to the other door of the room.
"How many people are here?"
Paper Old Man asked this question.
"There are more than a dozen, and there are five or six more people coming."
The woman responded with a sweet voice.
Paper Old Man nodded, then opened the door and walked in.
The room inside is very spacious and extremely luxuriously furnished. It is equipped with a crystal chandelier and a thick wool carpet below. Dozens of hand-sewn velvet sofas are scattered around the room.
There is a mahogany low pole placed in front of each sofa, with exquisite snacks and fruits placed on the crystal tray.
Every furnishing in the room has nothing to do with taste, but its value can always be seen at a glance.
Compared with the cheap casinos and simple smoking rooms outside, this room is full of an atmosphere of wealth and luxury.
Because the smoke pipes in the casino outside are just used to hide people's eyes and ears, and everything in this room is the real life of the owner here.
Now on those sofas in this room,
There were already more than a dozen figures sitting there, all wearing black robes and masks with the long sword painted on their faces.
And everyone's body is also filled with fluctuations of spiritual power.
This is a gathering of practitioners.
Just like Jingcheng Yinle City, there will naturally be similar gatherings of practitioners in large cities like Yuzhang City.
However, the party that Paper Old Man came to attend was slightly special in that not all practitioners could attend.
The people in this room today actually all have the same identity.
That is, they are all people who sell their lives.
In other words, practitioners who can do some things similar to those who work hard for their lives.
As for the reason why they gathered here, it was because there was an old knife handler here.
Lao Daobaozi is not a life-saver.
If he is a sacrificer, then the Seven Immortals Alliance in Yuzhang City will never allow him to have such a hidden place.
But almost all those who work hard cannot do without the old sword.
Because Lao Daobaozi can bring them business.
The vast majority of people who sell their lives are loners, just like white paper men, with no friends or family, and many of them even have no fixed place to live.
How could someone come to buy such a person's life?
So they need an intermediary.
Lao Daobaozi is their intermediary, and in addition to introducing them to business, Lao Daobaozi can also help them solve many problems that they cannot solve or are unable to solve.
Therefore, although Lao Daobaozi is not a life-saver, in a sense, he controls almost all the life-savers in Jiangzhou.
Of course, his identity is very secret, and even the Seven Immortals Alliance in Yuzhang City still doesn't know that he is actually the actual controller of the Jiangzhou Shouren.
And today is another day when an old swordsman introduces business to a life-saver.
Paper Old Man walked into this luxurious room and found a sofa in the corner to sit down.
He didn't touch the exquisite snacks and fruits on the table in front of him, he just sat there and waited quietly.
After him, several more desperate people wearing masks and black robes came to the room.
And after about ten minutes, no new slaves came in, so with a hearty laugh, the old man walked in with his arms around the charming woman just now.
