Chapter 195 The Dragon King turns over (please subscribe)
The early spring in May and June is the time for sowing in Heshan Town.
As long as you are close to the farmland, you can hear the loud folk songs. The farmers take pleasure in this and look like they are in a prosperous and peaceful age.
The farmland could not be seen to the end, and Heshan Town became extremely deserted at this time, with only some children and the elderly enjoying the cool under the shade of the trees.
The tea stall stopped near the official road. The hawker was selling tea in a voice that was as good as that of a farmer, immediately attracting a dozen people.
Each bowl of tea is not expensive and is made with roasted barley.
The rich fragrance spreads.
After wiping his hands, Old Man Li slowly walked into the stall.
There are seven or eight long benches placed in a small place. Farmers sit on them and drink tea. They rest for a while before going back to work.
Old man Li greeted the farmers he knew well and couldn't help complaining.
"The weather is getting hotter and hotter. It was winter not long ago, but now why is there not even a breeze?"
A Liang, a younger farmer, answered: "As long as the Yu River does not dry up, the food harvest in hot spots will be faster."
"This is the reason."
Old Man Li thought of the white money that the government came to collect when the rice was harvested, and he couldn't help but smile.
The tax rate in Heshan Town is low, and the rice seeds are provided by the government every year. At most, with a little hard work, you can earn enough money to build a house and start a family.
A few people were chatting while drinking tea, and the porcelain bowl was about to bottom out.
At this moment, a strange voice came from the corner: "My father-in-law, has the weather gotten warmer during the cold winter months?"
Old Man Li looked a little surprised. Suddenly, there was a man in the corner. It seemed that he had been in the candy shop for a long time.
When he saw the other party dressing up like a gangster, he didn't take it to heart.
In the past two years, more and more martial arts masters have been traveling throughout Xiangxiang, and escorts are more frequent.
"That's not the case. On the contrary, I feel that winter is getting colder."
Ren Qing frowned after hearing this. The abnormal weather must indicate some kind of sign. Could it be related to the water?
Old Man Li saw that Ren Qing had a black cloth tied to her arm for the funeral of her relatives. He was a little surprised as to why he had traveled so far, but he was sensible and did not ask any questions.
Ren Qing noticed the eyes of others and did not cover up the black cloth deliberately.
Half a month ago, Mrs. Chen's life span ran out and she was finally buried in the backyard of the village.
He had mixed feelings about it.
No matter how much Ren Qing looked at her, she was still her predecessor's mother, and even when she was dying, she was still telling her about those complicated things.
Ren Qing almost couldn't help but take out corpse food to extend Chen's life.
But in the end, I still respect the old man’s ideas.
People in this world take the death of their loved ones very lightly. After all, the upper limit of lifespan is set, and no one can live past fifty.
The relatives in the village did not cry. They buried Chen next to old man Ren's grave with great ceremony.
Ren Qing followed the rules and left for Shuize after seven days of wearing mourning and mourning.
On the one hand, we went to Shuize because of the lack of sand and soil resources, and on the other hand, the Jailer Hall was really short of people.
After the death of Water Hyacinth, Master Dameng was promoted to the realm of Yangshen, and the little person in the bottle stayed in his stomach, making it impossible for the same body's head in the bottle to leave.
Because of its large size, Tenon is different from ordinary people and is not suitable for appearing in the outside world.
The only Yin Chaos that the Prison Hall can dispatch are Song Zongwu and Li Tiangang.
Although there are several guards in the jailer hall who have changed three times and may be promoted to Yincai one after another, water from afar cannot quench the thirst of the nearer.
Ren Qing originally thought of continuing to grow, but suddenly and unexpectedly discovered that in the ghost market, except for Dameng Forging, the other shops no longer charged longevity yuan for transactions.
This situation shows that after Dameng Zhenren reaches the Yangshen Realm, the life extension of the Dream Butterfly Technique is likely to have no effect.
While Ren Qing was distracted chatting with Boss Liu, she took a sip of tea to calm down her shock.
To be fair, Dameng Zhenren is a strong man in the Yangshen realm. It is really difficult to manage the ghost market every day when he is distracted, so why not...
Ren Qing is ready to find an opportunity to obtain the Dream Butterfly Technique, and finally use it to control the ghost market.
So after checking the task posted in the notice, he resolutely accepted it.
The mission is just to rush to the north of Heshan Town.
There was still plenty of time now, so Ren Qing decided to find out if there was anything unusual in the area first, and then it would not be too late to leave.
The two became more and more speculative, and Old Man Li also became chatty.
"By the way, what do you call the young hero?"
"The surname is Ren, and the single name is Yi Qing."
A Liang came over and interjected: "Brother Ren Qing, you have such a wide range of experience, I'm afraid you have been to many places."
Ren Qing didn't dislike the smell of sweat on the farmer's body, and helped A Liang fill up his cup of tea: "Fortunately, it's mainly around Sanxiang City."
A Liang's face showed envy, and then he asked: "Recently, the Yuhe River has risen a lot for no reason. Lao Li has always said that the Dragon King turned over the soil. What do you think, brother Ren Qing?"
Ren Qing paused for a few breaths before replying: "It is indeed possible. Dragon Kings are easy to emerge from small rivers and lakes."
Old Man Li smiled and said, "I'll just say it."
"It hasn't rained for more than half a month, but the water level has been rising, and it's so turbid. It must be the Dragon King turning over the soil."
Ren Qing didn't pay much attention at first, thinking it was due to desertification at the source of the Yu River.
After all, the Chongqing River extends in all directions, and it may be bordered by water somewhere upstream.
But he learned from the chat between the two that the Yuhe River is actually a river with accumulated water. There is no difference between the upper and lower reaches. The water in the river was still crystal clear before.
Ren Qing couldn't help but frown.
Maybe it's because of the underground river?
If there is an underground river leading to a swamp near Heshan Town, then the jailer must be alerted to be careful.
After the farmers rested for a while, they then went to the fields to sow seeds, and the vendors also moved their positions to attract business.
Ren Qing walked towards the so-called Yu River.
If the environment of Heshan Town is affected by the Yu River, it is likely that the grain harvest in Xiangxiang will be sharply reduced.
There are many hills in Xiangxiang, and Heshan is one of the few places suitable for large-scale sowing. If you want to find a new area, you will inevitably have to move mountains and rivers, which is too troublesome.
The sound of water flow is like a waterfall.
Ren Qing came to the main stream of the Yu River, several miles away from the town.
The size of the Yu River is not small at all, and the waves are constantly scouring the river bed.
The river water was slightly yellow, and Ren Qing couldn't help but reach out and touch it, and found that it was obviously mixed with gravel, indicating that desertification had definitely occurred.
There was a boatman rowing a wooden oar in the middle of the Yu River. He noticed Ren Qing on the bank and thought he wanted to take a boat.
The boatman controlled the boat and headed towards the shore.
But just when he was getting close and wanted to call out to ask, Ren Qing suddenly jumped into the flowing Yuhe River and disappeared without a trace.
"What a hell it is in broad daylight..."
The boatman was startled and suddenly found himself in a dilemma.
There was no sign of any ripples in the river. It was possible that this person was washed away somewhere unknown, and his behavior seemed to be seeking death.
While the boatman was thinking a lot, a huge black shadow about ten meters covered the river.
"Dragon King...Master?!!"
The black shadow sank to the bottom of the water, and the fish swam quickly upstream while its tail swayed.
Ren Qing's Kun shape was like a fish in water. He could feel the current dragging him forward, and his speed gradually became faster and faster.
However, there are fewer fish in the river and scattered aquatic plants. As a result, the residents of Heshan Town do not have the habit of fishing.
He came to the point where the current was the strongest.
With the help of Kunpeng's perception, Ren Qing quickly determined that the source was at the bottom of the water, but the strange thing was that the river seemed to appear out of thin air.
The fish's fins shook and it swam towards the target.
But what appeared in front of him was not the entrance to an underground river, but a mess of aquatic plants from which the river water gushed out.
The double-eyed scan is really a bit too common.
Ren Qing increased his vigilance and stretched out his dragon-snake spine to push aside the water plants.
What came into view were several huge rocks, with water flowing through the gaps, giving an inexplicable feeling.
Ren Qing swung the snake spine, tied up the rock and moved it away bit by bit.
The river bed is exposed.
After he saw the object in the gap, his pupils suddenly shrank.
The source turned out to be a little finger. The flesh and blood remained on the white bones, and the bones were pale green with a light green color.
Three dream seeds appeared on Ren Qing's forehead at the same time.
The Yu River in his field of vision became so detailed that he could even detect a few water bugs clinging to the stone walls.
Ren Qing carefully observed the finger bones, and his expression became more and more solemn.
The finger bones are melting.
Melts at an extremely slow rate.
Each particle of bone powder, which is like a fine dust, will form a raging current mixed with gravel. This phalanx alone can increase the water volume of the Yu River several times.
This is also the reason why the water level has risen after it has not rained for a long time.
But the finger bone is not a strange object, nor is it a magic weapon.
How could such an anomaly occur?
Ren Qing was stunned. Because he maintained the Kun shape for a long time, the strange objects of Kun Peng Jue began to erode his body.
He imprisoned the strange object in the prison in his belly, then tied the finger bones with dragon and snake spines, and then swam toward the surface of the water with the finger bones.
When the finger bones came out of the water, they stopped melting, and the Yuhe River immediately became calm, sparkling under the sunlight.
The gravel gradually sinks to the bottom, and the original clarity will return to the bottom in a moment.
Ren Qing looked at the finger bones carefully.
The time of death was a month ago. She was probably a woman. Her bones were green and she was probably practicing the art of controlling plants.
"Lu Xiaoyu? No, the alienation of the finger bones is relatively slight."
After taking out the tenon feather and contacting Li Tiangang, he swam towards the boatman he met before.
The boatman stared straight at the suddenly calmed water, looking a little at a loss. Could it be that the man just now was really the Dragon King of the Chongqing River?
"Boatman, let me ask you a question."
Ren Qing's voice suddenly came to mind, and he was so frightened that he almost fell into the water.
"You...you said..."
The boatman said respectfully.
He found that half of Ren Qing's body was exposed in the water, with traces of alienation still remaining on his face, which made him more convinced that his judgment was correct.
"Half a month ago, was there anyone acting strangely passing by the river?"
“…”
The boatman thought hard for a long time, and then said hesitantly: "There is indeed one. It was too late at that time and I couldn't see it clearly. He seemed to be wearing green clothes."
"I know, thank you."
Ren Qing plunged into the water and didn't even notice the boatman bending over and knocking his head.
The turquoise clothes should have made it difficult for the boatman to see clearly, but in fact, the jailer lost control of his magic and wrapped his whole body with plants.
But if the corpse touches water, it will turn into water. If the person's bones are scattered around Heshan Town after death, once it rains...
Ren Qing glanced at the clouds gradually gathering in the sky, smiled bitterly and shook his head.
