Having lost the trace of Ba Snake, Dong Zhongshu and Wen Weng did not expect that they would also lose Zhang Xuezhou.
Wen Weng was not too interested in Zhang Xuezhou, after all, he was just a cultivator who wandered into Shu County.
If it weren't for Dong Zhongshu's relationship, Zhang Xuezhou wouldn't even have the qualifications to enter the county governor's mansion.
As Zhang Xuezhou taught Dong Zhongshu Feng Shui, there were more connections between them.
But it is difficult to make Wen Weng look at it differently. After all, this is the reward he has paid for a lot of medicinal materials.
In their relationship with Zhang Xuezhou, the two adhered to the principle of exchange between monks, and in the end neither owed the other.
But at the moment, Wen Weng feels that Zhang Xuezhou may owe him a little too much.
He activated his body's senses, but found that it was difficult to detect the location of Dingshan Stone within a radius of ten miles.
This can only prove that they have lost Zhang Xuezhou and even the Dingshan Stone.
The thought of Zhang Xuezhou's absconding with the treasure came to Wen Weng's mind, which made his heart go up and down.
Among the many things faced, in addition to the threat of Ba Snake, the academy was advancing in an orderly manner and the Taiping Weir was excavated. Wen Weng felt that the next step in the queue was to recover the Dingshan Stone, the imperial standard magic weapon.
There is more than one Dingshan stone magic weapon in the world, but there is only one that belongs to Wen Weng.
It’s not that monks only have one magic weapon after another. In fact, for many monks, it is normal to only have one or two magic weapons in their lives. Many monks even have no magic weapons in their lives.
Wen Weng felt that half of his fortune was gone.
This made him feel a little depressed, but he couldn't just talk about the possibility of Zhang Xuezhou's escape until he could prove it.
He stared at the endless muddy slopes and the turbid river water, his head shaking unavoidably.
"It would be much easier for us to do this if we had Shui Xing Sect's water avoidance technique," Weng Weng sighed sadly.
"Shui Xing Sect only has the ability to fight in water, but they want to fight with people on land. They have been beaten to ashes and annihilated. How can they avoid water?" Dong Zhongshu replied: "Some fragments of the book still exist, but
Not many people are successful in practice."
"Could it be that Brother Zhongshu also looked for the Shui Xing Sect's water avoidance technique?" Weng Weng said.
"I only got a broken copy, and I can barely hold the breath of a stick of incense in the water." Dong Zhongshu said: "But it can only hold my breath. If you want me to fight in the water, it is almost impossible!"
"What our Han country is facing is a completely broken Eastern Land!"
Wen Weng shook his head.
The most important benefit for a monk is practical. If you enter into practice, you will have practical skills that you can use. Most monks will definitely develop practical abilities.
When the monks of the Han Dynasty fell into the realm of cultivation, it was obvious that only those with a high enough realm could learn useful techniques.
At least for most monks, this is the current situation.
There is no certain realm, and many monks even lack the qualifications to practice magic.
If we want everyone to practice some imperfect skills, it would be better to fight with a knife.
Wen Weng, as a solipsistic monk, had weak control over his spells, while Dong Zhongshu, who had numerous methods, still lacked practical spells even though he had many methods. This was all the pain left behind after the previous dynasty cut off everything.
Although he clearly knew that he would have to face it in the future, Emperor Qin still made this decision.
As a latecomer, Wen Weng had no right to criticize Emperor Qin's choice.
For Emperor Qin, that may be the choice of the times.
In their time, Wen Weng felt that there were many needs.
Just as he opened a school to change the difficulties faced by the Han Dynasty, Weng Weng also hoped to have more places where everything could be renewed.
He put aside all the distracting thoughts in his mind and finally returned to matters in the academy.
Although Ba Snake was not killed, Ba Snake escaped from the lower reaches of Taipingyan, and his water conservancy project can also be put on the agenda.
As for the whereabouts of Ba She and Zhang Xuezhou, many things will happen simultaneously.
Eliminating the hidden danger of Ba Snake hiding in Taipingyan, many things can be handled at the same time without conflict.
"Sir, there seems to be a person floating over there!"
When Zhao Liang's voice came, Wen Weng suddenly came back to his senses. He stretched out his hand and looked around and saw a corpse lying in the flood at the corner of the river.
He was startled by the vague familiarity coming from the figure.
"It seems to be Zhang Xuezhou, why did he fall into the water!"
Dong Zhongshu's surprise made Weng Weng even more convinced.
"Quick, quick, quick, he didn't swim around here to help, he fell into the water and was washed away!"
Wen Weng exclaimed.
He never thought that a monk in the True Spirit Realm would be washed away by the flood on the riverside.
The low-level monks were very useless, but he didn't expect them to be so useless.
He had previously speculated that Zhang Xuezhou had absconded with the treasure, but now it seemed that his Dingshan stone had also fallen into the flood that swept across the Mianjiang River.
As long as the Dingshan Stone is in the river, he will be able to retrieve it sooner or later by looking for it along the river, but it will be difficult to save the monk's life.
None of the real owners of Daba Snake died, and the people watching the fun were gone. Wen Weng couldn't help but have a big headache.
"I'm jealous of Yingcai, hurry up, hurry up! Go over and get him!"
Wen Weng shouted repeatedly, and Zhang Shu, who was practicing martial arts, immediately walked a few steps faster with Zhao Liang on his back.
"I'll go fish it out, I can hold back the breath of a stick of incense!"
Dong Zhongshu took a long breath, inserted the magic fan back into his body, and then jumped into the river.
His body floated downward along the river, which was a few minutes faster than walking on the dirt road.
"Hurry up and help Dr. Dong find people!"
Wen Weng used a half branch as a crutch and tramped through the mud step by step. He had no choice but to urge Zhang Shu, who had some strength.
"We've been walking for an hour. I'm afraid that Brother Zhang would have drowned long ago." Zhang Shu whispered, "We don't have to rush to retrieve the body."
"This is not just fear, but affirmation!"
Looking at Zhang Xuezhou prostrate on the water, Wen Weng sighed.
"Come here and help me drag it, this guy is still breathing!"
After Wen Weng and others walked for nearly half a quarter of an hour and arrived at the roundabout of the river, Dong Zhongshu's words came, which surprised everyone.
Before Wen Weng could urge him, Zhang Shu put down Zhao Liang and jumped down.
"I'm really panting and my body is not cold!"
When Zhang Shu touched Zhang Xuezhou's body, he felt that there was still a touch of warmth in the cold body, but it was not completely cold.
He looked at the row of small bubbles emerging from the water, and felt that Zhang Xuezhou's breathing was really tenacious, and he was still breathing when he fell into the water.
"He is probably born with an innate body of water and has the ability to avoid water." Dong Zhongshu gasped: "It's a pity that the Shui Xing Sect is gone, otherwise this would be their sect's Qianxun Wanxun student."
“This innate body of water is amazing, but it’s just too difficult to find!”
Seeing that the person was not dead, Wen Weng felt relieved.
"I have never seen a shortage of talents in China." Dong Zhongshu gasped: "It's just that the Shui Xing Sect is gone, and the innate water body can only be used as a fisherman."
"Pity!"
Wen Weng sighed.
"Brother Zhongshu, we still have a long way to go!"
He sighed with deep thoughts. He felt that the road ahead for the Han Dynasty was difficult and long, and he did not know when he would be able to return to the once prosperous moment of the Eastern Land.
