There were layers of clouds in the sky, as if the mountains were hanging upside down, giving people an ominous feeling that the sky was collapsing.
Lei Boyang stood on a slender Ruo leaf, which undulated on Tangxi against the tide.
He stepped on Ruo leaves with a pair of mango shoes, put his hands in his arms, and closed his eyes, as peaceful as if he was in trance.
The wind is strong and the waves are rough, and the clouds are low.
Lei Boyang's green clothes were fluttering in the wind, giving rise to a Zen feeling as calm and motionless as the earth.
It may seem like this to outsiders, but Lei Boyang's heart is far from as calm as he shows.
Since handing over the disaster relief work to Shen Ji Company, Lei Boyang has been slaying demons in Tangxi County, subduing the cannibals in the water one by one, either suppressing or killing them, with little mercy.
But it still cannot solve the problem of Tangxi.
The clouds in the sky are not retreating at all. Tangxi is called a stream, but it is actually a river. The water is vast, and there are countless monsters hidden in it.
Killing them all will not solve Tangxi's dilemma.
To resolve Tangxi's predicament, the first step is to drive away the rain and stop increasing the water level. The second is to build dikes and dams to take advantage of the situation and dredge floods.
Lei Boyang cannot do the latter, this is what the county magistrate has to do.
Even the former is not so easy for Lei Boyang to solve.
Lei Boyang is not proficient in the magic of calling wind and rain, so he can't control the clouds in the sky.
Moreover, although the dark clouds in the sky are celestial phenomena, they are not without evil spells.
When he looks at it with his inner eye, he can detect something ominous and strange. There must be a demon working secretly, but Lei Boyang has never been able to find where the demon is hiding.
He went upstream from the lower reaches, closed his physical eyes, and looked at it with his mind's eye, looking for the demon's movements, but found nothing.
Lei Boyang recited a Buddha's name in his heart to wash away the anxiety in his heart. His heart gradually became clearer and his eyesight became sharper.
The river was surging, and the Ruo leaves under Lei Boyang's feet suddenly changed direction, taking Lei Boyang around in circles in the river.
Under the leaves, the river seemed like a huge mouth, sucking out a huge whirlpool and sucking Lei Boyang towards the center of the river.
Lei Boyang opened his eyes, with a look of coldness on his face: "Monster! You dare to mess with me when you don't hide yourself!"
He did not avoid it at all. Instead, he shrunk and ran into the whirlpool. The river water rolled in, stirring up his clothes, revealing his powerful limbs. It scattered his bun and washed away the dust on his face, revealing his sharp edges. face.
His eyes were closed, but it was more frightening than opening them. He held the lotus seal in his left hand and held it empty in his right hand. He could clearly see nothing, but it was like an irresistible sharp sword.
Under the whirlpool, a strange fish was swimming, with a pair of wings flapping on its side, rolling up the whirlpool.
Seeing Lei Boyang coming along the whirlpool, the strange fish spread its wings, like a silver line cutting through the river water, and rushed towards Lei Boyang.
Lei Boyang twisted his body, centered on Kong Zhi's right hand, turned into a ray of green light, and killed towards the silver thread.
Green light and silver lines intersected and staggered, and the next moment, the blood in the water escaped.
At the place where the dam broke, on the low slope in the north of the stream, the magistrate of Tangxi County stood at the forefront of the storm, with a middle-aged man with a compassionate face standing next to him.
After the county magistrate was killed by the water demon, the county magistrate was temporarily in charge.
The rain hit his face. The county magistrate just wiped his face and said to the middle-aged man next to him: "Thank you very much, Mr. Shen, for your generous donation to help us relieve the people. The river embankment collapsed from here. We relied on the mountains to build stone walls." Embankments can divert water and divert it, thus relieving flood problems."
Several county officials gathered around Shen Shan and explained to him the feasibility of building a dam.
Now he is a big benefactor. Without his help, many people would starve to death. Recruiting civilians to build dams left countless mouths to fill, not to mention the support of Shen Ji Company.
Chen Shan went to the site in person to build the dam. He is well-informed and is used to people making fortunes from disasters. If you don't see it with your own eyes, you won't be willing to pay easily. Moreover, the current difficulties in Tangxi cannot be solved with money. What is needed is food.
The county magistrate talked to him until his mouth went dry, and then he looked at Shen Shan expectantly, and the meaning he expressed was self-evident.
Although Chen Shan doesn’t know how to control water, there are people who do. Behind him was an inconspicuous middle-aged man. Shen Shan looked back and the middle-aged man nodded.
Chen Shan smiled and said: "Don't worry, sir, we will never stand idly by."
As soon as these words came out, all the county officials immediately beamed with joy and thanked Shen Shan for his kindness.
Whether it is providing relief or building dikes, we must consider the long term. Shen Shan is a veteran and will not put himself in danger.
Not anxious to discuss how to support money and food in the wind and rain, Shen Shan looked at the river down the slope and said: "It's difficult for several county officials. I heard that all the county magistrates died here, which is really sad."
The county magistrate's face showed a bit of sadness: "That day, there was wind and rain, and the floods broke through the county town. The county magistrate took the lead and blocked the gap in the city wall. Unexpectedly, the demon in the water was at work, and the magistrate was swept into the water, and he disappeared in the blink of an eye. "
Another county official said sadly: "The demon in the water ate the county magistrate and wanted to eat us again. Fortunately, the city god protected us and we survived."
Chen Shan said: "Have you hired a mage to subdue the demon?"
The magistrate said: "Please, if the magician had not driven away the demons, how would we have dared to come here. I heard from the magician that the city god led his soldiers and horses to fight with the demons in the water, but the demons took advantage of the water's power to occupy the geographical advantage, and the city god was helpless. You can only stick to one place.”
The county magistrate said: "Fortunately, a living god came two days ago. What a chivalrous man! He has great magical powers when he enters the water to catch monsters, fights water monsters, and flies across a leaf. If he hadn't cleaned up the monsters around him, how would we have dared to go to the water?" Come over here."
Chen Shan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, otherwise building the dam would be extremely dangerous."
The county magistrate said: "Mr. Shen, the rain is getting heavier and heavier. Come with me to the county seat to repair it."
Chen Shan said: "Please."
Everyone was about to leave, but they saw water suddenly rising under the hillside.
Everyone's expressions suddenly changed. The county magistrate grabbed Shen Shan and said, "Go to higher ground quickly!"
The group of people rolled and climbed, running towards the mountain.
The floodwaters rose sharply, and a huge wave was set off from nowhere, hitting several people who were fleeing.
The water waves rushed towards them, like five fingers pinching together, pinching several people together, and they were about to return to the water.
Chen Shan was so frightened that he lost his mind and shouted: "Fox Fairy, help me!"
A flash of spiritual light suddenly flashed in his waist pouch, and the spiritual light rushed out and hit the wave.
In just an instant, the waves solidified into ice crystals, falling onto the mountain with a crash and shattering into pieces.
Blood suddenly gushes out of the tide, and a wailing sound is heard in the water. The tide comes and recedes even faster, returning to its original water level in the blink of an eye.
Only bright red blood was left floating in the water, which quickly dispersed.
Chen Shan and others were in shock. Looking at the shattered ice blocks in front of them, they saw a severed finger suddenly appearing in one of the ice blocks.
