Master Yu Ding shook his palm-leaf fan, nodded and said, "Well, the matter of digging ditches should be done by someone who is not afraid of water."
After the voice fell, Cun Xin, who was pouring tea for Yao Ji, suddenly felt a burning discomfort. She looked around and found that everyone quieted down and looked at her in unison.
"What are you doing? What are you looking at me for?"
Cun Xin's behavior of "quietly showing courtesy" was stared at by everyone, and she was sitting beside Yao Ji gently and peacefully, but now she blushed suddenly, she turned her head in embarrassment and annoyance, and opened her mouth It exposed the cheerful and pungent nature.
Everyone present at the scene might be able to see her little thoughtfulness.
Marshal Tianpeng saw the truth, and stepped forward with a smile: "Third Princess, there are hundreds of thousands of dragons in the West Sea, this trivial matter shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"Huh?" Cun Xin was taken aback when he heard the words, showing a look of embarrassment.
"The Marshal doesn't know something." Thinking of Cun Xin's situation, Zhou Ji sighed softly, "It's not that the third princess doesn't want to, but she can't."
"Can't?" Marshal Canopy asked in surprise.
Cun Xin nodded, and said sadly: "I, I have been expelled from the West Sea, and I am homeless."
"It's all Yang Jian's fault, dragging down the third princess." Yang Jian pursed his lips and said guiltily.
After listening to Yang Jian's story, Marshal Canpeng knew that the Dragon King of the West Sea was timid and fearful. He learned that Cun Xin rescued the most important criminal in the Heavenly Court, and helped Yang Jian several times. Fearing that the Heavenly Court would blame him, he sent shrimp soldiers and crab generals to bring her to justice and bind the Heavenly Court to make atonement. Fortunately, Yang Jian It was only when they were present that they frightened the sailors back.
"The Dragon King of the West Sea is too"
It was inappropriate to speak ill of her father in front of Cun Xin. Marshal Tianpeng touched his mouth halfway through his words, realized that something was wrong, calmed down, and turned to comfort Cun Xin a few words. The atmosphere also became dull.
Marshal Canopy gestured towards the roller blind, but the roller blind was unknown, so he stood by at a loss, not knowing what to do.
‘Why are you standing still~Let’s go~’
Marshal Tianpeng twitched the corner of his mouth, walked to the side of Tianpeng Tianpeng calmly, bumped his shoulder, and lowered his voice.
The shutter finally realized it, and looked at the marshal of the canopy dumbly saying goodbye to everyone, and he was half a beat too late in clapping his hands.
"Marshal wait a minute."
Zhou Ji noticed Yang Chan's begging gaze towards him, and although he didn't communicate with her, he understood what she meant, nodded slightly, and called out to Marshal Tianpeng.
"Young Master Zhou Ji."
Marshal Canopy raised his cloak and turned around to put it on. Hearing Zhou Ji's voice, he put down his cloak and showed an inquiring expression.
Zhou Ji asked: "I don't know where the marshal is going on this trip?"
Marshal Canopy said helplessly: "Heavenly Soldiers and Generals can't get under the weak water, so they can only return to the Heavenly Court, ask His Majesty to send troops, and order the Dragon Clan of the Four Seas to dig ditches."
Since the Jade Emperor entrusted him with the management of the weak water, if he had no other choice, he would not want to request this imperial decree from heaven, leaving an impression of "not doing things well" in front of the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother in vain.
Because of this, after he failed to send 5,000 heavenly soldiers into the water, he would rather risk being discovered by the heavenly court than come to Guanjiangkou first to see what Daoist Yuding and the others can do.
Right now, the world is completely divorced from the prehistoric myths that Zhou Ji knew, so he could only rely on the information he had, and murmured: "If the marshal feels inconvenient about dispatching troops, please ask Miss Cunxin and the Four Princesses of the East China Sea to go to heaven to do it for you. "
"Miss Cunxin and the fourth princess of the East China Sea have been to the Heavenly Court before, and she has leaked Nezha's whereabouts to the Queen Mother of the Jade Emperor. This time, going to heaven can not only ask for meritorious deeds, but also ease her relationship with the Dragon King of the West Sea." Zhou Ji looked at it with some concern. Cun Xin was moved, and smiled, "At that time, Miss Cun Xin will return to Xihai in person with the imperial decree, which will surely relieve the Dragon King of West Sea from worrying about the future, and dare not send troops to arrest the girl again."
"Brother Zhou is right!"
Yang Chan raised her head and looked at Zhou Ji, her eyes rolled around and shone with an inexplicable light.
Cunxin opened his heart and prepared to agree, but he showed a hesitant expression, glanced at Yang Jian next to him, and said resolutely, "No, you can't let the Jade Emperor decree!"
"Why?" Yang Jian frowned and said, "If the Jade Emperor is not allowed to make an order, who else can invite the Dragon Clan?"
Master Yuding waved his cattail fan, as if he had seen through everything. Reminiscent of the previous method of drawing the "underwater topographic map", he tentatively said: "The third princess wants to ask the fourth princess of the East China Sea to help her?"
Cun Xin was surprised, her eyes seemed to say 'how do you know? ’ Five big characters.
A woman in love~~
Marshal Canopy curled his lips and couldn't help pouring cold water on him, "Third Princess, digging canals and drawing topographic maps are completely different things. I know you want to give Yang Jian the credit for managing the weak water, but even if you can talk The Fourth Princess of the East China Sea will help you, but with the little navy under her command, how can she shoulder such a heavy burden?"
Cun Xin showed hesitation when he heard the words.
"Third princess, it's all because of me that you are in this situation. If it weren't for the third princess, Yang Jian might have been buried in the bottom of the sea or drowned in the weak water. Even if Yang Jian was smashed to pieces, he would have to repay the princess for this kindness." "
Yang Jian looked at Cun Xin with a complicated expression, knowing that she still wanted to help him until now, so she moved her with sincerity first, and then persuaded her: "The three princesses have paid too much for Yang Jian, but Yang Jian never thought of being pardoned by the Heavenly Court. It is impossible for the Heavenly Court to Pardon Yang Jian"
Yang Jian turned his head to look at Yang Chan and his mother Yao Ji, Yao Ji and Yang Chan also persuaded Cun Xin.
Cun Xin saw that their family had made up their minds, so she didn't insist anymore, and followed the canopy marshal and the roller blind to walk outside.
Before I knew it, it was almost noon.
Zhou Ji leaned against the fence under the eaves for a rest, felt the footsteps approaching, opened his eyes slowly, and saw a strand of hair dangling in front of him, with a faint fragrance lingering at the tip of the hair, Zhou Ji flicked the hair, the crystal clear His eyes met his four.
Yang Chan was like a little rabbit who had been frightened all the time. She subconsciously took two steps back, rolled up the hair hanging by her ears to ease the panic, and said embarrassedly: "Brother Zhou, did you disturb your rest? I have a few places I want to ask you for advice about my practice."
Realist Yuding was still in Kunlun to guide Yang Jian to realize the new power before, so Yang Chan always asked Zhou Ji to answer her questions about cultivation.
Over time, Zhou Ji gradually got used to it.
Zhou Ji shook his head, didn't think too much, and followed her topic to ask what she didn't understand.
In order to lie, Yang Chan racked her brains to come up with several questions about the spells. Zhou Ji asked in surprise, "Didn't I tell you about the illusion projection a few days ago?"
Yang Chan suddenly showed an embarrassed expression.
Zhou Ji taught Yang Chan the essentials of illusion projection in detail. This girl's cultivation qualifications are far inferior to Yang Jian's, and even her IQ is not very good. She can only retain a human-shaped afterimage after an afternoon of practice.
"It doesn't matter, practice makes perfect. As you improve your cultivation and practice more, you will definitely be able to transform into a lifelike phantom in the future. Maybe you can talk and play chess with you."
Yang Chan covered her mouth and smiled, "Isn't that just talking to yourself, playing chess with yourself?"
Zhou Ji chatted with her for a few words, and then talked about Cun Xin, Yang Chan walked to Zhou Ji's side, sat on the fence on the other side across the pillar, picked her fingers and said: "The third princess has helped the second brother so much, I also Knowing that she really likes the second brother, it’s fine if the second brother also likes the third princess. But you said, the second brother already has someone he likes. With my own emotions, I will agree to be with the third princess."
Yang Chan said in a depressed mood: "I don't want him to choose such a way of repaying because of guilt."
Zhou Ji is actually not optimistic about Cun Xin and Yang Jian.
Cun Xin belongs to the dragon clan, the third princess of the West Sea. She is spoiled and pampered in the West Sea on weekdays. There are many servants at her mercy. No one dares to contradict her.
But she still has the temper of that willful and jealous young lady.
Although Zhou Ji hates the so-called 'right family', she was born as a dragon princess and Yang Jian, whose family background changed suddenly, is really not the same.
In the long lifespan of a practitioner, "like" alone is not enough to sustain a marriage.
When the danger of weak water is resolved, everything is settled, and there are no external conflicts, and internal conflicts will accumulate a little bit.
Cun Xin is deeply influenced by the environment in which she grew up, and she seems to act recklessly, but in fact she is far more "traditional" than ordinary girls in the world.
The idea of official standard is destined to run counter to Yang Jian's rebellion. When all the conflicts break out, marriage will be endless torture for both of them.
Zhou Ji sighed and withdrew his divergent thoughts.
Noticing the dull atmosphere between the two, he took the initiative to joke and enliven the atmosphere: "Speaking of which, I also helped you a lot, right? How will you repay it?"
"!!" Yang Chan was taken aback when she heard the words, and looked at Zhou Ji with wide eyes.
I don't know what I thought of, the blush visible to the naked eye extended from the white tenderness exposed by the neckline to the cheeks all the way, Yang Chan turned sideways in panic to avoid sight, and pulled the hair that had slipped from the side of her face, her crystal clear earlobes were as red as drops It was blood-like, giving people the urge to take a bite.
Aware of a slip of the tongue, Zhou Ji coughed lightly and looked away, "Then what, I just said it casually, but it didn't mean that, don't get me wrong"
Yang Chan hummed unobtrusively, and sat beside her with her head down, holding the lotus lamp in her hand, slowly rubbing the surface of the lamp with her fingertips, wondering what she was thinking.
The two fell silent again, Zhou Ji stood up first, and said: "By the way, Master Yuding deduced the ninth form of splitting the palm of the gods, and asked me to come over and use the illusion projection. Remember to practice hard, and I will go first .”
‘Hey~’
Yang Chan raised her head and was about to call Zhou Ji to stop, but saw that he had turned into a streamer and disappeared into the corridor.
the other side.
After Cun Xin found her cousin Ao Ting Xin, after several persuasions, she finally agreed to accompany him to the sky to meet the Jade Emperor.
The queen mother heard Tiannu's announcement, turned her head to look at the Jade Emperor, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it seems that the three princesses of the West Sea have regrets~"
"Hmph~ It's a pity that she used the wrong idea."
This is the second time for Cun Xin and her cousin Ao Tingxin to go to heaven. The last time Cun Xin rescued Yang Jian, it can be said that she did not know that the person who fell into the West Sea was a repeat offender in the Heavenly Court. Now she knows the identities of Yang Jian and the others, but she is still mingling with each other.
The Jade Emperor showed disdain, snorted coldly, and immediately sent Tian Nu to capture Cun Xin.
Seeing this, the Queen Mother hurriedly dissuaded her, "Your Majesty, the fifth elder brother came to surrender first, and now the third princess of Xihai has come to show weakness. The three princesses of the West Sea and the four princesses of the East Sea are here to control the weak water, if they are taken down, I am afraid that the hearts of the people who have worked so hard to win before will be ruined again."
Jade Emperor thought about it for a moment, and felt that what the Queen Mother said was reasonable, so he nodded his head as a signal to Heavenly Nu, declaring Cunxin to listen to him.
Combining the previous water potential map and Cun Xin's proposal, the Queen Mother saw that the Jade Emperor was still thinking, and she took the initiative to propose: "Your Majesty, you should immediately issue an imperial edict to the Dragon Kings of the four seas, ordering one hundred thousand sailors from each sea to cooperate with Marshal Canopy to dig Ditch, manage weak water."
The Jade Emperor nodded in satisfaction, and said in a deep voice: "Rolling the curtain, go to the four seas in the southeast, northwest, and convey my will to ask the Dragon Kings of the four seas to send 100,000 sailors each to assist Marshal Tianpeng in digging ditches."
No one responded after finishing speaking, Jade Emperor thought that this idiot was playing the trick of 'shut up' again, and impatiently glanced sideways, but found that there was no one around him.
The Queen Mother whispered: "Your Majesty, don't you remember? You have sent the Rolling Curtain Heaven General to the lower realm to deliver the decree to Marshal Tianpeng."
Only then did the Jade Emperor come to a sudden look, looked around Yaochi, and found that there was only a few maids and guards available in Nuo Da's heavenly court, a trace of indescribable frustration suddenly rose in his heart, he waved his hand in a disinterested manner, and looked at Cun Xin in the audience. Ting Xin said: "Forget it, Ao Cun Xin Ao Ting Xin Ting Zhi"
Cun Xin's eyes lit up, she cupped her fists respectfully and bowed to receive the imperial decree.
With the will of the Jade Emperor, the Dragon King of the West Sea dared not neglect it. He immediately contacted several other Dragon Kings, counted the manpower, and went to join the Marshal Tianpeng.
More than 400,000 sailors dug ditches from both sides at the same time. At the beginning, the progress was very smooth, and they dug more than 100 miles in just a few days.
However, as the excavated ditches gradually penetrated into the inland, it was inevitable to come into contact with various monsters entrenched in the mountains.
Among them, the Xihai Ditch passes through a stone mountain. On the mountain, a thousand-year-old weasel spirit stopped the Xihai navy and prevented them from getting through the stone mountain. Dozens of sailors were killed in a blink of an eye.
Xihai Dragon King hurriedly asked Marshal Tianpeng for help, and Marshal Tianpeng went out in person, and the mere monster naturally succeeded.
However, this is only the beginning.
The more the ditch is advanced, the more amazing the resistance will be. Sometimes, within a day, dozens or even hundreds of monsters will consciously unite to resist digging.
At first, Marshal Canopy and Heavenly Curtain General could solve the problem. Later, there were more and more monsters and their strength became stronger and stronger. The two were exhausted, and the Aqua army began to suffer a lot of casualties.
