Feng Xiyan turned to the soldier and said, "Inform General Fan to send a patrol to guard the river outside the west gate and block both ends of the river with sandbags. Anyone who dares approach—kill without rcy!"
"This subordinate accepts the order." Accepting the order, the soldier bowed and left swiftly.
At the sa ti, Feng Wu and his team had just received the new order and were on their way to the west gate’s river.
Afraid of wasting water, Feng Wu channeled his internal energy to its limit and used his lightness skill to speed through the city.
As he jumped across the rooftops, water splashed down from the bronze mirror, causing an uproar among the people below. As more and more water rained down, it drew citizens’ attention, and they ca out to see what was happening.
A thin, middle-aged man looked up as he felt the cold water fall on his face. Touching the water on his face, he exclaid in shock, "It’s raining?!"
Not far from there, a young man also felt the cold water and quickly knelt on the ground. He bowed and shouted, "Heaven has rcy! It’s finally raining after two years!"
Seeing this, more and more citizens knelt on the ground and bowed.
While the crowd below knelt and thanked the heavens, Feng Wu continued leaping across rooftops at lightning speed.
However, after he passed, the water stopped. The people kneeling on the ground waited for a while, but no more rain ca.
Looking up at the bright, scorching sun hung on top of their heads, one person finally realized there was no rain at all. Slumping to the ground in despair, the man fell into a daze.
anwhile, Feng Wu and his team had reached the river outside the west gate. Without wasting ti, he commanded, "Quick, set the mirror’s stand on the ground!"
One of his subordinates rushed forward, placed the mirror’s stand securely on flat ground, and stepped back.
Once Feng Wu ensured the stand was stable, he set the bronze mirror facing the dry riverbed and let out a sigh of relief.
As water poured from the bronze mirror and began filling the river, Feng Wu glanced at his soaked clothes. Then, he looked at his equally drenched subordinates.
They stared at each other in silence for a mont, then, more than a dozen dripping n silently wringing water out of their clothes.
While Feng Wu and the shadow guards were guarding the bronze mirror, the soldiers blocked the river with sandbags.
Soon, the news that soldiers were guarding the river outside the west gate had already spread throughout Xiqiang City. Out of curiosity, more and more citizens went to the west gate, but they could not leave the city without permission and had to return disappointed.
anwhile, Bai Hanyun and Hua Yuyu have just arrived at ho.
Carrying bags of souvenirs, Bai Hanyun looked at Hua Yuyu and said, "Brother Hua, I have transferred the money to you for the investigation fee. If you need more, please don’t hesitate to tell ."
Hua Yuyu nodded, then handed her a small communication device and explained, "This is the tracking device I bought two days ago, and it just arrived today. I have already connected it to my phone. If you need anything, just press the button on the back, and I will co find you."
Bai Hanyun took the star-shaped tracking device. Seeing that it was attached to a necklace as a pendant, she silently praised Hua Yuyu for his thoughtfulness.
Putting on the necklace, she said, "Understood."
Seeing that she looked tired, Hua Yuyu added, "Then I will head back to my place. Rember to call if you need anything."
"Alright."
After Hua Yuyu returned to his capsule house, Bai Hanyun brought the souvenirs into her ho. Placing them on the couch in the living room, she headed to the backyard to check on the bronze mirror.
When she arrived at the riverside, she noticed that the water level hadn’t decreased at all.
Looking at the mountain in the distance, she muttered, "The waterfall from that mountain must be pretty strong. I have been sending water to Feng Xiyan since last night, and the water level hasn’t changed at all. Looks like there won’t be any problem continuing to send water to Feng Xiyan for now."
After confirming the river’s water level was normal, Bai Hanyun grabbed the rope tied to the tree and pulled the antique mirror out.
As usual, she checked the antique mirror carefully. After making sure it was undamaged, she brought it inside.
While she used a clean cloth to wipe the water off the antique mirror, Feng Wu and the others saw that the water had stopped spewing from the bronze mirror.
Knowing that Fairy Bai usually looks for his Master after sending water, Feng Wu said to his subordinates, "I will bring the bronze mirror back to Master. You guys stay here until further notice."
"Yes, Captain." With that, more than a dozen shadow guards disappeared at once, leaving only patrol soldiers to guard the river.
Two minutes later, Feng Wu arrived at Feng Xiyan’s tent and placed the bronze mirror back on the altar.
Before leaving, he burned three sticks of incense and prayed sincerely, "Heaven, the food you gave before was very delicious. If Heaven deems worthy, please grant more. Feng Wu thanks Heaven in advance."
After his prayer, he stuck the incense in the burner and waited.
In the modern world, Bai Hanyun had just brought the antique mirror and the souvenir bags to her bedroom.
Before she could place the antique mirror back on its stand on the bedside table, it suddenly shone brightly. Caught off guard, she almost dropped it.
"Aiyo!"
Bai Hanyun reflexively closed her eyes and scolded, "Hey, did you forget what I said before? Don’t suddenly shine like a lightbulb! Otherwise, I will lock you back in the basent! You better be care—"
Before Bai Hanyun could finish scolding the antique mirror, Feng Wu’s voice suddenly echoed through her bedroom.
