"You have one thing you haven't dealt with." Zhou An remembered something and said, "Just Ahmadai just fled halfway through the siege."
The official immediately stopped running away, turned his head and showed an ugly smile and said, "Sir, what else do you have to tell me?"
"Take all these corpses away." Zhou An said coldly.
"I'll take the body away now," said the official.
The official and his two subordinates left with the bodies lying underground.
Zhou An turned his head and looked at the seriously injured old couple. They were beaten very badly, and were injured everywhere. Moreover, they were old. If they were not treated in time, they might leave a root of the disease and would be tortured by the pain in the future.
Zhou An used two prayer skills in a row, and two white lights fell to the old couple's bodies. The white light penetrated into their skin. Gradually, the scars on their bodies disappeared and they returned to their usual appearance.
The couple who were screaming in pain stopped screaming, and even started to scream comfortably. When the white light disappeared, they completely recovered. They even stood up immediately to express their gratitude to Zhou An.
Then Zhou An used prayer skills to the couple's daughter and Qingwu, so that they could recover.
The couple knew that Zhou An was not an ordinary person, so they naturally did not treat Zhou An as they used to, and they became much more respectful to Zhou An.
Their daughter was not as close to Zhou An as when they first met, and she had some distance. The main reason was that although Zhou An saved them, Zhou An was too cruel to kill everyone, which made her a little scared.
.
Zhou An didn't care much, he just lived here temporarily. The couple was just a passerby in Zhou An's life, and he might not see each other again in the future.
After looking at the weather, it was already dark and it was almost dark. Zhou An planned to stay for another night and leave tomorrow.
The couple gave up the room they lived in and asked Zhou An to stay. Zhou An refused but had to stay with Qingwu.
After Zhou An settled down, he took the box from Ke Qilu. The box was square with blue patterns on it. There was a small stone lock on the opening and closing of the lid and the body of the box.
.
Zhou An used the silk to split the silk in the air, raised his right hand slightly, merged his five fingers, and slashed towards the stone lock in the air, and the stone lock was immediately cut into two halves.
Zhou An opened the box and there was a wooden box inside. This wooden box was a machine box. Zhou An did not open it. He knew that the mechanisms of the machine box were very sinister, either poisonous or had fatal hidden weapons. If you were not careful, you would die.
If the mechanism is damaged, the things inside will also be destroyed.
However, the box is so well protected, which also shows that the things inside the box are very important. Judging from the color and breath of the box, it has a history of at least several hundred years and is very ancient.
Zhou An knew nothing about the mechanism and could not open the box. It seemed that he had to find a mechanism engineer to crack it.
At this moment, a middle-aged man suddenly flew down from the roof. He held a knife in his hand and slashed towards Zhou An's body.
Zhou An pulled out the sword from his waist and slashed it with one sword. Suddenly, a sword energy that was two feet long shot at the man.
This sword energy was very fast and very Lingli. The person who attacked the enemy held a knife to block it in front of him. The knife was cut off. The remaining sword energy slashed into his chest, leaving a long blood mark.
The middle-aged man was no longer attacking Zhou An and fled to the distance, without a trace.
Looking at his back as he ran away, Zhou An did not chase him. Although this middle-aged man was covered in a mask, it gave Zhou An a sense of familiarity and always felt that he had seen him somewhere.
Zhou An thought about it but couldn't remember it, but Zhou An was sure if he was from Fengyue Villa, so where was it from.
Zhou An didn't think about it anymore, but covered himself with a quilt and started to fall asleep.
The next day, Zhou An woke up and left with Qingwu.
The two rode their horses and rushed towards the distance.
Zhou An did not plan to go to Guiyuan City, but to Songhua City, which is similar to Guiyuan City.
The reason why Zhou An did not go to Guiyuan City was that Zhou An did not want to hand over the things in his hands to the third elder of the Jinwu Sect for the time being, but wanted to ask the master of the agency to untie the agency and see what was inside.
The road was quite calm. When he met a small group of robbers, Zhou An also killed them back and came to Songhua City safely.
The name of Songhua City is truly worthy of its name. A big river runs through the entire Songhua City from left to right, as if it divides Songhua City into two. However, with such a scenery, Songhua City has become famous for a long time.
Zhou An and Qingwu entered the city.
"It's so lively here. Is there any festival?" Qingwu said.
"Think about it, today is Dragon Boat Festival." Zhou An said with a smile.
"I'm eating rice dumplings, I don't know what the rice dumplings here are. Let's have a look." Qingwu said.
"Okay." Zhou An said.
Zhou An and Qingwu found a lively restaurant and asked the waiter to take the horse to feed the feed, while Zhou An and Qingwu walked into the Salou.
Find a seat by the window, Zhou An and Qingwu sat down. Zhou An called Xiaoer to order food. The Xiaoer took out a menu and handed it to Zhou An. Zhou An did not look at it, so he gave it to Qingwu.
, let Qingwu do some.
Qingwu lit up happily.
I ordered a pot of sake, a few plates of side dishes, and ten rice dumplings of different flavors.
Zhou An and Qingwu started eating, especially Zhou An ate three rice dumplings, which tasted pretty good.
After dinner, Qingwu said, "I heard that there is a custom of dragon boat racing in places with water. Why don't we go and have a look."
"I want to go and have a look, go," said Zhou An.
Zhou An put down five taels of silver on the table and headed towards the Songhua River with Qingwu.
Songhua River is the water of life in Songhua City. It nurtured thousands of people in Songhua City and was known as the mother river. Therefore, every time the Dragon Boat Festival is held, a dragon god sacrifice is held, and many people are invited to race dragon boats to express their respect for the dragon.
God's respect.
When I arrived next to the Songhua River, I saw more than a dozen men pulling ropes, walking step by step in the distance with difficulty.
"Brother An, what are they doing?" Qingwu asked.
"They are pulling dragon boats. The dragon boats usually sink to the bottom of the water and will only be pulled up during the Dragon Boat Festival." Zhou An said.
"Is this dragon boat just a rowing competition between two boats?" Qingwu asked.
"Of course not. Dragon boats are also called dragon boat racing: four parts: invite dragons, traveling dragons, collecting dragons, and worshiping dragons. Invite dragons means pulling up the dragon boats under the sea. Dragons refer to the competition between dragon boats, and collecting dragons is
The dragon boat reaches the other shore, and the Dragon Sacrifice God is to worship the Dragon God at the bottom of the river after rowing the dragon boat." Zhou An said.
"You are so talented, you know that." Qingwu said.
"I usually read a lot of books." Zhou An said modestly.
The dragon boat was pulled up, and five people walked out of the crowd. The five people reached out to press the dragon boat. A white heat spread out from the top of their heads, and the wet wooden boat that had been soaked for a long time gradually
It became dry and refreshed.
Zhou An was surprised to see this scene. There was a warrior at the level of urination to clean up the accumulated water for the dragon boat.
After clearing the accumulated water, all the dragon boaters boarded their own boats, picked up the oars, waited for the priest's instructions, and prepared to row.
Seeing that everything was ready, the priest said loudly: "The dragon starts!"
I saw the people on the five dragon boats rowing the oars quickly and rowing forward. Whenever they rowed out, they would have a sound of panting.
When the boat was halfway through the rowing, the dragon boat stopped, and all the fifty men on the boat were bleeding from their seven orifices and fell to the boat and died.
Seeing this scene, the people watching the dragon boat racing all made a sound of horror. What's going on? Why did people die? Everyone fled to the distance and stayed away from here.
The county yamen runners appeared, and several yamen runners used their light skills to come to the dragon boat and checked the dead's bodies. There were no traces of poisoning and no wounds on these people. Could it be that they died of divine punishment?
The divine punishment here refers to the dragon god descending his power and killing people.
But this was just a speculation. The officials of the Case Detection Office immediately invited the coroner to come for an autopsy to see how they died.
After the coroner's belly was broken and the fur and blood was tested, the coroner said: "I found that there was a small hole three inches behind their heads. This small hole was their fatal injury, but it was strange that it was small.
There was only a trace of water in the hole, and there were no hidden weapons or anything like that. As for how they died, I don’t know."
