The night wind turned and moaned, like weeping and complaining.

Qingfeng Li's clothes were fluttering, and a low voice sang from his mouth, "The soul is back."

The ant-nosed money was stuffed back into the human head's mouth, and the fingertip poking at the forehead glowed faintly.

The surrounding wind suddenly stopped and calmed down in an instant.

The stumps and severed limbs scattered around were put together like building blocks and joined together with the human head.

In the blink of an eye, a neat living person, covered with stitching seams, appeared in front of Zhong Sheng

Li Shenhan bit the ant's nose and knelt down towards Li Qingfeng, "County Magistrate Li."

"Time is running out, come quickly."

Li Shenhan bowed down and told the origin of the story.

It turns out that the county where Li Qingfeng once worked is located on the side of Luoshui River, with river irrigation and a unique environment.

Since the Tang Dynasty pacified Henan, the fleeing people have returned home one after another and finally entered a peaceful life.

However, after the military disaster broke out...

"Dig embankments to flood the city."

Qingfeng Li was furious and thought, "It's a clever trick, but it's too poisonous."

Li Shenhan kowtows on the ground, "General Lu insists on digging up river embankments to divert Luo water to the city, but how can the people of this county survive?"

The cause of the incident was that a Zheng army occupied the city and refused to surrender.

The county town has high walls, plenty of food, excellent ordnance, and the morale of Zheng's army is strong, so the defense is impregnable.

The Tang army attacked several times and lost troops and generals, but was trapped inside the city and could not advance.

At the time of the battle in Luoyang City, the commander-in-chief of the Tang Army issued orders everywhere, urging soldiers and horses from all over the place to converge. If he failed to do so, he would be killed.

If the date of the rendezvous is delayed, everyone in the Tang army will inevitably be spared.

"General Lu, the commander-in-chief of the Tang army, is determined to dig out the Luoshui dikes and flood the city?"

Li Qingfeng is familiar with history books and knows the essentials of the art of war using fire and water, but behind every glorious battle, countless people have been displaced.

It is said that water and fire are merciless. Once they are allowed to wreak havoc, they will destroy countless fertile fields and houses, and cause countless deaths and injuries.

Li Shenhan said, "The local squire wanted to enter the camp to persuade, but he was detained by General Lu and taken to the embankment to dig soil."

"Although I am a sage who only works for a living, I also know that human life is of paramount importance, so I thought of using witchcraft to scare away General Lu."

Hearing this, Li Qingfeng scolded, "Absurd! Foolish!"

How can a commander-in-chief with thousands of soldiers and horses under his command be shaken by a little witchcraft?

Magical powers cannot be displayed in front of others, otherwise they will suffer backlash.

When Zhong Sheng heard this, his heart moved. It seemed that his second uncle had also mentioned a similar iron rule.

As a result, before Li Shenhan could sneak into the military camp, he was broken into by soldiers. His witchcraft failed and he died without a complete body.

"I prepared ancient coins and put them in my mouth. After death, my soul will never die. I wandered to unknown places. God was kind to me and I met Magistrate Li."

"Magistrate Li, the whole city is counting on you."

Li Shenhan kowtowed again and again. As soon as he finished speaking, his breath suddenly died.

Just look at his whole body, the skin is cracked with red lines, and the intact body is scattered into stumps and broken arms.

A human head falls to the ground and rolls around for a few times.

After this time, the fragmented corpses could no longer fly.

When Zhong Sheng saw this, he knew that this Li Shenhan had tried his best to tell the story of the cause and effect, and finally his soul was gone and he was completely dead.

"Brother Zhong, I can't drink anymore."

Li Qingfeng looked at Li Shenhan's broken body with compassion in his eyes.

"I'm going to take a trip, what do you think?"

Zhong Sheng held his waist and said without hesitation, "Go, why not?"

Qingfeng Li looked at him seriously and nodded.

At dawn, the residents of the town accidentally went out and saw scattered limbs on the ground, and they exclaimed.

However, from that day on, there were no more ghost whistles at night, and people gradually became more peaceful.

"Daoshi Li, you have been away from home for many years, do you still know the people and customs of your hometown?"

On a bumpy bullock cart, Li Qingfeng and Zhong Sheng sat side by side.

The ape is riding a little donkey, with Peipidianpidian following behind.

"The scenery of the past can be seen now, but I'm afraid things have changed and people have changed."

Qingfeng Li squeezed his hands tightly, this goal was not easy.

The Tang army is as powerful as a rainbow, and it is a foregone conclusion to occupy Heluo. At this time, trying to block the movement of the army is tantamount to using a mantis' arm as a chariot.

I'm afraid that even if he sacrifices his life, he won't be able to save the people of the county.

"Brother Zhong, you don't know, back then, I led the whole county, young and old, to dig earth and carry rocks to repair dikes and dams for the people."

"The surging Luo River is like a wild horse. Once it is tamed and put on a bridle, it can feed all the people. But if it breaks free, it will inevitably destroy the fields and houses, and the people will become the prey of fish and turtles."

"Years of hard work, only to be seen wasted in one day."

Qingfeng Li's tone was filled with infinite melancholy.

Seeing his suffocated look, Zhong Sheng thought that it would be bad if he studied too much. He was always so sentimental and suffocated himself to death.

It's better for me to do this. If I don't understand the things in the world, I can just kill them with a sword.

"The county magistrate is back, the county magistrate is back."

Qingfeng Li's local mass base is beyond words.

As soon as the oxcart entered the countryside, old men rushed to tell the news, and many people carried egg cakes in bamboo baskets, vying to offer them to Qingfeng Li.

"The folks have all dispersed. I am not the county magistrate now, just a monk."

When digging embankments to irrigate the city, Li Shenhan secretly negotiated military secrets.

The common people don't know yet and are still living in ignorance. As the saying goes, ignorance is bliss.

The white-haired old man parked next to the bullock cart and kept complaining to Qingfeng Li.

"County Magistrate, life has become increasingly difficult since you left."

"An army came from the east, and a group of thieves came from the west, shouting and killing, asking for money and food. The young men, the daughters-in-law, were taken away and never came back."

"Although it is safe to hide in the mountains, the whole family cannot stay without food and water."

"When we get outside, there are fights everywhere. If you scatter some seeds in the ground, everyone will come to grab and take what grows."

"To tell you the truth, all the members of my family were starved to death and taken away. Now I am the only one left with old bones!"

The old man grinned with a complicated expression, not knowing whether he was laughing or crying.

Qingfeng Li patted the back of the old man's hand, not knowing what to say.

Perhaps at that moment, he felt a little regretful for walking away and leaving the people of the county behind.

"Where is Li Shenhan's family?"

The white-haired old man pointed in the direction and muttered, "Li Shenhan hasn't seen anyone for four or five days. Could it be that he is also dead?"

The bullock carts were pounding, but Li Qingfeng kept silent on the road.

Li Shenhan's house, with its grass roof, is no longer inhabited.

Li Qingfeng knocked on the door tentatively, and a... dog paw stuck out from inside.

"Who?"

Gougua's owner asked, and Zhong Sheng was so shocked that he drew out his ancient sword.

The wild dog became a spirit and actually occupied the house and opened its mouth to talk to people.

The broken door opened, and a citizen with a sad face showed great joy after seeing Li Qingfeng.

"County Magistrate Li, you are finally back."

Qingfeng Li's eyes fell on his wrist. Where his left hand used to be, there was a dog paw instead. The dog paw man who opened the door just now noticed something and covered the dog paw with his tattered sleeves.

"Please, please come in quickly."

There are many people hiding in the room, and there is also a bald man who is talking softly.

When Qingfeng Li saw the bald head, he sneezed on the spot. He had an occupational disease and was allergic to monks.
