Chapter 510 Bronze Sparrow
Dongfang Nuannuan took the state chronicles on the ground and pointed to one of the pages and said, "I turned around and there was a page missing in the article "Shuixiang Geography, and it was obvious that the witch took this page away before leaving."
Soon, an official sent another provincial journal. Through comparison, he found the lost page. It was the water survey map in Dingzhou City, which marked the detailed locations of the fifty-seven wells in Dingzhou City. These wells are spread all over the corners of Dingzhou City and are necessary for the people of Dingzhou to obtain water. Although the provincial journal is a little old, the locations of these wells did not change much when Dingzhou was rebuilt. Most of them were either the original wells or the locations of the original wells were dug again.
Sun Sheng asked: "What did the witch take away the water love map?"
Yu Wenshuang analyzed, "Oh no, she wants to tamper with the water source in the city!" Thinking of the previous incident of Jile Grass outside Dingzhou City, if it were not handled in time, I was afraid that the ingredients of Jile Grass were mixed in the food of the people in Dingzhou City at this moment. If one plan failed, another plan was created, but it was just to contaminate the water source in Dingzhou City.
What a vicious plan!
However, it is not easy to poison all the fifty-seven wells. Yuwen Tianlu took the water picture and checked it for a long time, but did not speak.
Sun Sheng asked: "What should I do next? Please make clear what the Grand Governor will do."
Yuwen Tianlu said: "You are the lord of a city."
Sun Sheng was not vague and ordered his subordinates to say, "From now on, Dingzhou City will enter a state of emergency. There will be 57 wells, and thirty elite soldiers will be sent to guard each place. The people will take turns day and night. They will also take water to collect water. They will also be allowed to collect water and then distribute it. No outsiders are allowed to approach the water source in the city. Before the crisis is lifted, the water source distribution will be controlled. Among them, the four largest wells in the city, the city will be sent to guard it, and two thousand soldiers will be sent to search the city from door to door. Even if the ground is dug three feet, the witch will be found!"
After deploying the order, Sun Sheng came to Yuwen Tianlu and knelt down on the ground: "Please ask the Grand Governor to uphold justice for his dead son of the lower official."
Sun Sheng understood that he was the lord of a city in name, but in Dingzhou City, Yuwen Tianlu was the real person. Although he did not interfere in the city's government affairs, the formation in Dingzhou City was presided over by Yuwen Tianlu. Without Yuwen Tianlu, Dingzhou City was nothing. Therefore, even if he lost his beloved son, he still remained rational and maintained some respect for Yuwen Tianlu.
He also understood that this witch was not an ordinary person in the world, but one of the only masters of Tongxiang in the world. Only Yuwen Tianlu could preside over him.
Yuwen Tianlu helped him up, "It's probably not that simple. Do your part and leave the rest to me."
A potential threat shrouded in Dingzhou city.
It was dawn, and when everyone went out to draw water, they realized the seriousness of the matter.
The well guarded by heavy troops and the soldiers searching the streets made people wonder what happened. Rumors were also spreading in the city, and everything was said. However, at this time, the city lord's mansion was busy and had no time to pay attention to these rumors.
The main streets in the city were covered with notices of chasing Dongfang Nuannuan.
Those who provide clues to the suspect in everything will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver. Those who can capture the suspect alive will be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold.
Under heavy rewards, there must be brave men.
The government had gathered crowds before, and they all said that they had clues about the witch, but most of them were false news, which caused the officers and soldiers of Dingzhou.
It's so miserable.
Dongfang Nuannuan, wearing a hat, stood in front of a notice and couldn't help but sneer, "This girl's life is worth a hundred taels of gold? Yuwenshuang, you underestimate this girl too much."
However, Dingzhou was in chaos. Her purpose had already achieved. She took out the water survey map from her arms, kneaded it into a ball, shattered with internal force, and slapped it in the air. She turned around and was about to leave when she suddenly heard someone shouting behind her: "Stop!"
Looking back, two officials walked towards Dongfang Nuannuan.
Dongfang Nuannuan stopped, "Official!"
"You just littered?"
"Uh..." Dongfang Nuannuan was stunned for a moment, "I slipped my hand for a while, and I accidentally won't dare to do it again next time."
The official sent an official: "Now the city is capturing the witches, and all the idle people are going to be investigated. You wear a hat in broad daylight, and there is a ghost!"
Dongfang Nuannuan said sweetly: "The little woman has a strange disease and cannot see the light. I would like to ask the official to let her go."
"Please take off your hat and let us check it out."
Dongfang Nuannuan said, "You really want to see?"
"I'm sorry, I'm in public office, please cooperate with the girl."
Dongfang Nuannuan took off her hat and showed an ugly face, full of scars, and there were cysts and blisters on her face. Her facial features were squeezed and deformed, and she was distorted. Dongfang Nuannuan said timidly: "Official, I am afraid of light!"
The two officials took a look and waved their hands, "It's okay, you go."
Dongfang Nuannuan put on her hat and walked towards the city.
A official looked at her back and said, "I didn't expect that a woman with such a hot figure had a terrible face. She was killed by her back!"
Another official smiled and said, "Brother has too high requirements. For me, it's the same if the light is turned off."
When Dongfang Nuannuan heard this, she looked like a murderous intent in her eyes and then she hid her head without looking back and turned into another street. The whole city was blocked, and there were not many people on the street. Dongfang Nuannuan came to a rice shop, and the four-character plaque "Old City Rice Shop" was hung on the shop. She knocked on it a few times in the secret words of the Light Cult. Soon, someone opened the crack in the door.
The guy said: "It's closed today and it's not open."
"I want to buy two pounds of sesame oil and one pound of tung oil."
"We are a rice shop and don't sell sesame oil."
"In times of troubled times, the price of oil and rice is the same."
The guy welcomed Dongfang Nuannuan in. Soon, two merchants dressed in a dressed man came out of the backyard, saluted Dongfang Nuannuan, and said respectfully: "Duan Yucheng, Li Renjie has met the saint."
After the arrival of the Heavenly Way, Dongfang Nuannuan sent two people from the Light Sect to sneak into Dingzhou to carry out a secret mission.
"No gift."
Duan Yucheng said: "Today we saw the notice posted on the street and knew that the saint had entered Dingzhou and had been waiting for the saint to arrive."
Dongfang Nuannuan said: "You have been here for several months, but what have you discovered?"
Duan Yucheng took out a stack of books from his arms, "In the past six months, we have secretly visited the craftsmen who built Dingzhou City. According to their description, we recorded some characteristics of the Dingzhou formation. Although it is not accurate enough, it is enough for us to use our actions."
Dongfang Nuannuan browsed Duan Yucheng's documents briefly and said, "The whole city is searching outside, be careful and don't expose it."
Duan Yucheng smiled and said, "Our rice shop is a regular businessman. He has a registered account in the government and has a household registration."
They all entered Dingzhou City and came to drink with their chief clerk not long ago."
Dongfang Nuannuan said: "According to the clues I left behind, they are now blocking the water source in the city. You send someone to find a way to create some chaos for them and divert their attention. Remember, don't forget that we only have one goal!"
"When will we do it?"
“Waiting for the opportunity.”
Dongfang Nuannuan stood in the courtyard, looking at the huge iron pillar two or three feet high above the city wall not far away, and fell into deep thought. This Dingzhou formation could interfere with the practitioner's sense of true energy. Even when the way of heaven came, he did not notice this place. However, it was a defensive fortification after all. She did not understand what the purpose of Wang Banxian was trying hard to seize this formation.
...
Dingzhou South City Gate, Looking Tower.
A pavilion was made of red copper. The iron pillars wrapped in copper wire on the four walls were finally connected to the copper tower.
Yuwen Tianlu praised Cao Mengde in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, so he named this bronze tower "Bronze Quetai". However, he built the bronze tower not to "lock the two Qiaos" like Cao Cao, but to monitor and prevent Dingzhou City and even the entire world's cultivators. Because of this, Wangcai came to Dingzhou City and saw this bronze tower, and chose not to enter the city.
Inside the Tongque Tower, there is a screen wall, about ten feet in size, with a map of the mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty on it.
On the map, there are some subtle green, yellow and red dots that are constantly flashing. The screen wall is made of white marble. If Xiao Jinyan is here, he will definitely exclaim. This is almost a copy of the fortune map of mountains and rivers, and the densely shining small dots represent people who practice in the world.
Yuwen Tianlu stood in front of the screen wall.
Yu Wenshuang came behind him and looked at the screen wall together. She said, "Father, there is no whereabouts of Dongfang Nuannuan."
"She suffered a loss before and was captured by the formation. Now that she knows this formation, she will inevitably hide her cultivation level. It is not easy to find her in Dingzhou City."
It’s a pity that the screen wall is too small. Even if she reveals her feet in Dingzhou City, she can only judge her approximate location. Before, they stared at her as soon as they entered the city. Now that she is hiding in the dark, it’s not that easy to find her.
Yuwen Tianlu said again: "The last incident of Jilecao almost caught us off guard. This time, Wang Banxian must have come prepared. But we are in the open and in the dark. If we want to fight wits and courage with them, it will take some effort. Unfortunately, with the soul-summoning banner, this bronze bird platform still cannot capture his whereabouts."
Yuwenshuang asked: "Why can't you notice Brother Xiao's existence?"
Yuwen Tianlu said: "The method of his practice is different from that of ordinary people. The string force he uses cannot be sensed by the formation, not to mention that he has already jumped out of the three realms and is not controlled by the heavenly way. It is normal for the formation to not be able to detect him. However, estimating from the fluctuations of the true essence, his last appearance should be in Shu."
"Shuzhong?"
"Not bad." Yuwen Tianlu said: "The method of mobilizing the true energy of string power is also a fixed pattern, but this is just my speculation."
At this moment, I suddenly saw the true energy flowing between heaven and earth on the screen wall. Although there was no trace of human beings, the speed of the true energy flowing was absolutely extraordinary. Only people outside the three realms could gather so many dense true energy in an instant.
