The terrain of Houguan Gorge is just like its name.

This canyon seems to be stuck in the throat of this boundary river, steep and rapid.

On the cliff of the canyon, Kong Chenzi overlooked the situation here.

Look down.

The water flow above the boundary river is rapid, forming one whirlpool after another here.

Many trees, turf, and debris fell down with the mighty water.

The flood season has arrived.

Although the water has been rising higher and higher in the past two days, farmland has even been flooded in various places.

However, hundreds of river workers have been continuously reinforcing the embankments along the river in recent days. Once problems arise, they will swarm in and block the gaps.

In addition, the chief officials of the counties and counties along the river also worked hard to prevent floods and waterlogging, and they were able to control the floods and prevent them from getting out of control.

The Taoist on the cliff of the canyon asked: "So, tomorrow is the time when the flood peak will be greatest?"

Lord Sichuan nodded: "What Mr. Dao said is right."

"As long as it passes tomorrow, it should be fine."

The Taoist looked at Master Sichuan: "Can the current situation be able to cope with tomorrow?"

Lord Sichuan immediately hesitated: "This..."

The Taoist also knew that he was not sure whether the embankment could withstand it.

In the past few days, repairs have been made everywhere, and the river engineering ghosts have been used to barely maintain the situation in the hundreds of miles downstream of the river, but who knows how serious the situation will be tomorrow.

but.

Kong Chenzi had already anticipated this situation and had already made preparations.

The wind in the canyon follows the waves through the narrow place.

"Crash! Boom!" The sound of the water was like thunder.

"Whoosh!" the wind howled.

The Taoist raised his eyes slightly and said calmly.

"tomorrow!"

"Get ready!"

Lord Sichuan, who was standing on the edge of the cliff, was stunned for a moment.

Then, I immediately understood what this meant.

Daojun Kongchen recognized his contribution to the flood disaster in Fengzhou during these days.

Tomorrow will be the day when he ascends to the position of the master of this hundred-mile river and turns into a ghost and god for thousands of years.

Even though Lord Sichuan had lived for nearly a hundred years, he still felt a tremor that made his whole body tremble. He quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Lord Kongchen.

"Thank you, little demon, for the gift."

"As long as the little demon is here."

"This river of hundreds of miles will never flood again, and this golden waterway will remain prosperous."

The Lord of Sichuan obviously understood the preferences of Taoist Lord Kongchen and knew how to guess his intentions. He immediately swore that he would be the master of this hundred-mile river.

Kongchenzi doesn't believe these words, and he doesn't even care whether their hearts are true or not, he only believes in what they do.

Let him become the master of ghosts and gods of Baili River tomorrow, and more importantly, use the power of this water demon to control the water disaster. If he does a good job, he can continue to do it. After all, he is the master of managing this Baili River.

There is no one more suitable than this Lord of Sichuan.

Wait until the path of merit is introduced in the future.

Those who are distinguished by their merits and deeds are better than those who are riddled with sins.

I am not afraid that any of these ghosts and gods would not seriously respect their priestly duties. You must know that being dismissed by ghosts and gods is not like being dismissed from office in the mortal world. They can still go home and live their lives.

There is only one ending when ghosts and gods are deposed.

That is the death of God and the death of soul.

At this moment, the sudden movement below caught the Taoist's attention.

"Um?"

A section of the washed-out bridge fell down with the water, and with it, there was a body.

The Taoist waved his hand, and the corpse floating in the water immediately floated up.

Climbing up the cliffs, we finally landed in front of Kong Chenzi.

He has died, but he died not long ago and his soul has not completely dissipated.

The Lord of the River became nervous all of a sudden. He had just been confirmed as the Lord of the Baili River, and he encountered this incident head-on. Could it be that something big happened upstream?

Master Sichuan stepped forward to identify it carefully, and suddenly felt that the body looked familiar: "Whose body is this?"

But Kong Chenzi recognized him at a glance. This was one of the two people he saw in the main temple of Furuchuan when he came to Fengzhou.

His name is Shi Zong, and he is a wanderer.

The Taoist said.

"Jun Yun! Find out why Shi Zong's body appears in the river?"

"Why did you die?"

The jade pendant hanging on the waist turned into a human form, bowed and saluted: "Jun Yun, obey the order!"

Gone away in smoke.

———————

Half an hour ago.

Jiexia County.

There were people all over the embankment, carrying hoes and shovels, carrying baskets and poles, and they were all busy.

There are not only solid stone embankments on the entire river bank.

In some places where problems are likely to occur, earth dams were also built at the same time.

All embankment reinforcement and earth dam construction in the entire river were carried out under the guidance of the old river worker.

On the river embankment, County Magistrate He Shijing watched the torrential river water rolling down, and the embankment under his feet was as stable as Mount Tai, and he felt a sense of pride.

He turned around and said to the old man holding a bamboo hat beside him, his feet covered with mud.

"Old Guan! All this is thanks to you!"

“If it weren’t for you, this county would really not know where to start.”

The old river worker Guan Lao waved his hands quickly, but there was a look of contentment on his face.

"Don't dare!"

"It's all the work of the county magistrate, and the little old man is just assisting."

"However, today's young people have forgotten these things from our ancestors."

He Shijing thanked him again and again: "This truly great achievement is all thanks to Mr. Guan."

"I would like to thank you on behalf of all the people in the county."

After bowing, Mr. Guan immediately stepped forward to stop him.

Unexpectedly, an accident happened. The old man's feet were covered with mud. In his haste, he slipped and fell directly from the river embankment.

It rolled into the boundary river.

"Not good!" He Shijing stood up and saw this scene, his face turned pale with fright.

"Guan Lao fell into the water!" Many people around him also exclaimed.

"Hurry and save people!" More people gathered.

However, the current of the boundary river is extremely fast at this moment. Anyone who dares to enter the water easily will be killed.

When several people were hurriedly looking for ropes.

"That's too late!"

"I come!"

Shi Zong shouted at the side.

He jumped up and jumped directly into the river.

His bronze skin stood out in the river, like a fish chasing Guan Lao's figure in the river.

It really looked like a fish, and finally floated out of the water, bringing out the old river worker.
