Chapter 167 Birds and Beasts, Return Quickly

He Lingchuan was startled, as if he didn't hold it firmly, and the remaining half of the scallion root fell to the ground: "What does it have to do with us?"

"It's okay for the monsters in the country to stir up trouble. The biggest hidden danger is in the north."

When these words were spoken, Mo Zhe Niansheng and Wu Shaoyi's expressions tightened, and they almost said in unison: "Monster Country!"

The monster country bordering Dayuan in the north is the monster country.

He Lingchuan's original body liked to listen to books, and he might not know much about major domestic events, but he had heard a lot of strange stories, many of which mentioned the monster country in the north.

When humans set up a country, it is called the human country, and when monsters set up a country, it is of course the monster country.

Humans and monsters have been entangled since ancient times, with humans killing monsters and monsters eating humans, and the cycle repeats. When humans set up a country, they can gather the strength of all directions to resist monsters, especially after learning how to use Yuanli, monsters fighting alone are no match for humans.

So the monsters also gathered together and learned to build their own country like humans.

There are many demon kingdoms in this world. There is one in the north of Dayuan, which is almost the strongest one in the world. Its name is "Beijia Kingdom". But the Yuan people only call it the Northern Demon Kingdom.

The life span of great demons is generally very long, so the national destiny of demon kingdoms is often far better than that of human kingdoms.

The Northern Demon Kingdom has existed for 600 years and has been standing till now, and the land under He Lingchuan's feet has changed its owner several times.

But there are exceptions to everything, especially the appearance of Emperor Liujiang, which often breaks the rules.

"Every time the Emperor Liujiang appears, the Monster Kingdom will experience violent turmoil, which will inevitably affect the surrounding areas." He Chunhua frowned, "The crocodile monsters in Xianling Lake entered the Yuan Territory and caused trouble in our country because the Monster Kingdom changed its master. The situation in the Monster Kingdom has changed not long ago, and suddenly the Emperor Liujiang appeared again. I am afraid that the internal chaos will be exacerbated."

While talking, someone outside reported: "Sir, Kuzhu County has sent a letter."

He Chunhua took the letter and looked at it twice: "Reply and say that we will definitely raid the formation tomorrow morning."

After the messenger left, He Yue asked: "Raid the formation? Do you want to perform a ritual or hold a ceremony?"

"The Emperor Liujiang appeared, and the monsters are stirring. Kuzhu County will issue a monster notice tomorrow morning." He Chunhua said seriously, "As an official appointed by the royal court, I , we should help them. "

Mrs. Ying came over and said, "I just heard that a village fifteen miles away was attacked this morning, and the beast entered the house and stole the child."

He Lingchuan added, "In the afternoon, someone in Shuanghe Town was attacked by a mongoose and lost two toes."

"This is still the densely populated area near Woling Pass, not to mention the remote areas." Mo Zhe Jingxuan sighed, "The Emperor's flow of blood has come, and the consequences are not all good."

"That's why Kuzhu County has to draft good articles to drive away evil monsters, first explain the reason, and warn the new monsters not to be rampant. If they don't listen, the next step is to use force." He Chunhua stood up, "Go to bed early tonight and set off before the cock crows."

...

The next morning, the support army arrived at Fenglingdu on time.

The people had been waiting here for a long time, ready to watch. The magistrate of Kuzhu County led the gentry to greet them and had a chat with He Chunhua.

Then, it was three quarters of the morning.

The magistrate of Kuzhu County ordered people to take five fat pigs, fifteen roosters, and nine baskets of live fish, and placed them by the water. He stood on a large rock at the ferry, unfolded a document and read it aloud.

His voice was not loud and was a little hoarse. But when he spoke, the Sheji Order on his waist emitted a bright light.

Today was a cloudless day with the sun hanging high. He Lingchuan saw a faint green air gathering above Fenglingdu.

Looking closely again, these green air came from the civilians and militiamen of Kuzhu County below, and also from the supporting army led by He Chunhua.

Yang Qi was strong.

The magistrate of Kuzhu County suddenly shouted loudly, and the sound waves exploded in all directions, which actually pushed the forest and trees to tremble continuously, and the surface of Hongchuan was also turbulent, as if there were large and small whirlpools and rapids underneath.

He Lingchuan didn't really try to remember what he said. He only knew that it was all four-six parallel prose with neat parallelism and clear rhythm. The only problem was whether the birds and beasts who had become monsters could understand it.

It seemed that the cultural level was not low.

Not to mention monsters, some words and sentences were not even clear to him.

Anyway, He Lingchuan translated it by himself and it was that Kuzhu County warned the newly grown monsters nearby not to run wild on the villagers' land, especially not to eat people, so that monsters and humans could coexist peacefully. In particular, the responsibility of restraining birds and beasts in various mountains, swamps and water spirits should be further implemented. Whoever owns the land should be responsible for it. Whoever gives up will be laid off, and there will be no offerings and Yuanli.

The more he recited, the thicker the green air above Fenglingdu became.

When the last few words of the Kuzhu County Magistrate were finished, he lit the document and threw it to the river in front.

The green air in the sky suddenly sank and swept over the document with a "whoosh" sound.

The document also turned into sparks in the sky in an instant.

When the two met, the green air caught fire, illuminating half of the sky.

He Lingchuan then realized that it was a huge green kite phantom, twenty feet long and with a wingspan of thirty feet. After being quenched, it turned into a burning fire kite. With a long and shocking cry, it swept across the mountains, forests and rivers.

Wherever it passed, everything was burned, including forests, soil, rocks and water.

The place where everyone was standing was originally a beautiful place with green mountains and clear waters, but in the blink of an eye it turned into a world of fire.

Immediately, hundreds of beasts fled from the mountains and forests, flocks of birds flew into the sky, and fish jumped out of the water, all in fear.

However, the fire kite circled and flew into the sky, and the fire in Fenglingdu was extinguished, without even a trace of green smoke.

He Lingchuan looked closely and saw that the burning small tree two feet away was intact from branches to leaves.

The magistrate of Kuzhu County shouted: "Birds and beasts, return to your positions quickly!"

This happened again and again, and the sound shook the four fields under the blessing of the Sheji Order.

The magical thing is that the beasts seemed to understand, turned around, and slowly returned to their original positions.

Only two big bears came out, opened their bloody mouths, and roared around.

The civilians around saw this and quickly stepped back.

This thing is too scary.

But the two giant bears did not attack people, but just nodded to the county magistrate and took away a piece of fat pig each.

They stood up nearly two feet tall, their bodies were slick and smooth, and they could not be described as big and strong. Even a fat pig weighing nearly 400 kilograms was easily caught by them.

He Yue whispered: "Generally speaking, the first to come out and take away the offerings are the local mountains and swamps. This shows that they have accepted the notice of the Kuzhu County Magistrate." Then they will do their duties well.

With the example of the mountains and swamps, the monsters in the forest came forward to take the food. A group of wolves worked together to take away a pig, and several weasels caught chickens. What puzzled He Lingchuan the most was that a large group of goats walked out of the forest and ate more than a dozen fish and two chickens in front of everyone...

"Wait, do goats also eat meat, or do goat monsters eat everything?"

Wu Shaoyi whispered: "It's not strange. Someone from the Western Regions told me that in their customs, goats are illusions created by evil spirits."

The birds in the sky also landed and took the fish in the basket. It was a large group of them, with wings carrying the wind.

Ordinary birds didn't dare to get so close to people.

Only the water was quiet.

He Chunhua stepped forward and asked, "Shuiling didn't come?"

"The Shuiling in this section of Hongchuan may have died in the battle of Woling Pass a while ago." The magistrate of Kuzhu County sighed, "The Shuiling tablet has been broken, and the position is empty. We need a new Shuiling."

After that, he ordered the soldiers to move the remaining live animals to Wuxintan, not far away.

There is also a lagoon there, far away from the main channel.

He Lingchuan followed and saw the soldiers walk onto the trestle and push all the live animals into the water, leaving only one fat pig.

The originally calm water suddenly boiled.

From time to time, huge fins and mouths turned out of the water, and before others could see their bodies clearly, they went down again.

Whirls of various sizes appeared in the pool.

Now He Lingchuan understood that this was a fight between water monsters below.

Sometimes bubbles came out, and sometimes blood came out!

Dark red or dark green blood.

He asked He Yue: "Could the original water spirit here be bitten to death by our old acquaintance?"

He Yue smiled bitterly: "Eighty percent is true." The giant crocodile was invited by Hong Xiangqian to participate in the battle at Woling Pass. Although it is an amphibious monster, its home field must be in the water.

Hongchuan's original water spirit was officially canonized and opposed the rebels. The crocodile monster must not tolerate it.

This thing is so fierce that it killed at least two water spirits.

It was driven out of the Northern Monster Kingdom. Thinking of this, He Lingchuan was a little fascinated. I wonder if those extraordinary giant monsters heard when listening to books really exist in the Northern Monster Kingdom.

He Chunhua also tilted his head and joined their discussion in a low voice: "The original mountain swamp in Kuzhu County was not the pair of black bears."

"The original mountain swamp was also killed?" He Lingchuan was shocked, "It's really a high-risk job to be a mountain swamp water spirit here."

"No, it's not dead. It's a spotted tiger."

He Yue asked curiously: "Then why didn't it come out today?" It's not appropriate, today is such an important day.

The spirits of mountains, swamps and waters must help local officials maintain stability and demonstrate their dominance over their territory, so as to deter new monsters and stop causing trouble.

The magistrate of Kuzhu County previously used the Sheji Order and consumed a lot of energy to create such a big battle as the Fire Kite, which was also aimed at knocking those new monsters who were ignorant of the world, so that they would know how powerful humans are and dare not feed on humans again.

This is not only for the official and for humans, but also for the smooth governance of the future, so the spirits of mountains, swamps and waters will generally cooperate actively.

"It is said that he resigned and left to go to the northern monster country."

He Lingchuan asked curiously: "Why?"

"Then you have to ask it in person." He Chunhua smiled, "But if I say, the hidden dragon will not stay in the abyss forever."

As everyone was talking, the turmoil in Wuxintan gradually subsided. Many lines appeared on the water surface, sometimes with high fins, and it seemed that many aquatic creatures had left.

At this time, a big black fish swam to the shore, with its head as big as a basket facing the magistrate, motionless.

He Lingchuan saw that it had many scars on its body.

The magistrate of Kuzhu County asked it: "Are all the other aquatic creatures convinced?"

The big black fish nodded up and down.

"Are you willing to take over the position of the water spirit and ensure the safety of the boats at Fengling Ferry?"

The big black fish nodded again.
