Chapter 136: The Dragon King of the Han River
Five days later, Xu Daoyun rushed to the Wangsi River again, but found that the river water was a little more turbid than the last time, and it showed a dark red color, fishy smell, and extremely unpleasant.
In the past ten days, the blood of an unknown number of people has flowed into the Wangsi River, and the battle situation is so tragic that it is frightening.
Xu Daoyun did not stop a step, rode around Yushan, and rushed to the camp in Jiangdepo.
But when they arrived at the camp, they found that the tents of the guard towers here were all in tatters, the braziers were crooked, and there was no one in the village, but there was blood everywhere, attracting many flies.
Xu Daoyun tightened his sword eyebrows, and suddenly heard movement outside the village, he turned his head to look, only to see more than a dozen water demons poking their heads out from the sentry tower, and then pounced down together.
Xu Daoyun's left hand turned into a sword finger, and swept out a sword qi to cut these water demons in two on the spot, and the smelly green blood sprinkled like raindrops, but it was bounced away by the true qi that permeated his body and fell into the soil.
Xu Daoyun got on his horse and rushed towards Jiangdepo, and the villages and manors where he passed were all silent, and there was no one coming and going, only the sound of birds coming out of the mountains to forage for food came and went.
This place was originally prosperous and lively, but I didn't expect it to change overnight, it was so dilapidated and desolate, and there was no life.
It is understandable that the people here left their homes for refuge, but why did Nie Qingsheng and the others disappear. There is no way for them to escape, the only possibility is to be defeated by the water demon attack, or to retreat backwards, or to be completely annihilated.
Xu Daoyun thinks that the former is more likely, after all, the cultivation of Nie Qingsheng and Xie Zhixian is both first-class in the Qi Refining Realm, even if they can't resist the water demon, they can retreat with their whole body, and they will never die here.
Also, why did the more than 100 Pure Heaven Sect disciples led by Hang Liren disappear, even if they suffered a big defeat, they wouldn't even be invisible.
Xu Daoyun was full of doubts, and suddenly saw a white light in the sky from far and near, dragging a long tail of light through the clouds and fog, and it came in an instant, falling from the sky.
The white light dissipated, and he was a middle-aged man with a tall figure and a heroic face. The green shirt fluttered in the wind, with black hair tied and a white jade hairpin, which looked casual and decent, clearly dressed as a Confucian scholar.
The man opened his mouth and asked, "Child, you are Qingqiwei, where is Nie Qingsheng?"
Xu Daoyun was fascinated by his demeanor, and only reacted when he spoke, turned over and dismounted, and replied: "The junior doesn't know where the commander is, and the junior has just arrived." ”
The middle-aged man said: "When I was in the air, I saw many people on Nanxi Mountain, so I thought it should be Nie Qingsheng waiting." Child, the road is far away, come with me. ”
After that, the middle-aged man stepped forward and grabbed Xu Daoyun's arm, soared into the sky, and turned into an arc of light and swept towards Nanxi Mountain more than ten miles away.
In just a moment, Xu Daoyun had already seen Nanxi Mountain appear under his feet, and then he felt his body fall down. I didn't know what was going on, but I heard Xie Zhixian's voice suddenly sound, "Xie Siyuan, please see Mr. Zizheng." ”
The Confucian scholar, known as Mr. Zizheng, said with a smile: "Siyuan, you and I haven't seen each other for many years, why are you separated." ”
Xie Zhixian smiled bitterly and did not speak.
Xu Daoyun saw that everyone was lonely and demoralized, and there was a faint atmosphere of sadness. He looked left and right, but there was no trace of Nie Qingsheng, and he sighed in his heart, he already had a guess.
Mr. Zizheng asked: "What about the birthday, the commander of Qingping Mansion asked me to give him a word, this time he held his position, according to the enemy's merits, when this matter is over, he can go to Qingping Mansion to serve as the head of the small banner." ”
Xie Zhixian sighed, shook his head and said, "Commander Nie is blessed, he can't go to Qingping Mansion in this life and this life." ”
Mr. Zizheng immediately understood the meaning of his words and asked, "What the hell is going on?"
Xie Zhixian said truthfully: "The day before yesterday, the water demon attacked on a large scale, leading the river to break my camp, Nie commanded the envoy to evacuate Jiang Depo in order to protect the people, and blocked the torrent alone, and was surrounded by the water demon, and finally died of exhaustion. ”
Mr. Zizheng sighed and said: "Alas, it is rare to celebrate the birthday of loyalty and bravery, and to work for the welfare of the people, but it's a pity, it's a pity." ”
Xu Daoyun asked: "Xie Zhi County, has Lord Zhao Qi ever returned?"
Xie Siyuan shook his head, "I didn't see her, didn't she go back to Qingping County with you to gather people, why did you come back alone?"
"Xie Zhi County doesn't know anything, now Qingping County has suffered a big change, all the Qingqi guards stationed in the Yunwei Division have been slaughtered, and Qingping County is also uninhabited. ”
Xie Zhixian exclaimed: "What, who is so mad!"
Xu Daoyun said: "I went to Mingyue Building to inquire, Mrs. Fengxian said that it was the remnants of the Innocent Sect, taking advantage of the emptiness of Qingping County, attacking in a big way, and spreading doctrines to confuse the people in the city, laying down an enchantment, but not out, and two soul hooks wandered in the city, all of which were killed by me." ”
Xie Zhixian clenched his fists and rebuked angrily: "This group of cult remnants is really haunted. ”
Mr. Zizheng said: "Recently, the sky has been in turmoil, and the demons in the Sijiang River are gathered, which is not a good sign. ”
Xie Zhixian asked: "Looking at the peace of the Sijiang River for decades, why is it suddenly out of control?"
Mr. Zizheng sighed: "It's all because of a disaster twenty-three years ago. ”
"A disaster?"
Everyone in Xie Zhi County looked at each other, puzzled.
Mr. Zizheng looked at the Sijiang River from afar, and said: "Wangsi River, formerly known as the fallen Dragon River, when the Dragon King of the Hanhe River was beheaded, the head fell here and smashed out a big pit, when it rained heavily, connected to the river, it became today's Wangsi River. ”
Xie Siyuan said strangely: "The Dragon King of Hanhe, Lord Zizheng, what is going on?"
"At that time, the Dragon King of the Han River was entrenched in the Han River in Qingbao County, Jiangzhou, and there was a village named Yangbai Village by the river, and the name of the village lived by the river, and he made a living from fishing. If so, it will be fine. It's just that there is a dilapidated family in Nayangbai Village, and the ancestors passed down a book of divination, and the second son of this family learned the art of divination in order to make a living, and was able to calculate the location of the Hanhe River Aquarium, and he could return with a full load every time. ”
"The grievances of the Han River Water Tribe deepened, and finally one day, the Dragon King of the Han River became angry and flooded Yangbai Village with the water of the Han River, and none of the hundreds of families in the village were spared, all died in the torrent. ”
This incident alarmed the Taishou of Qingbao County, but he was afraid of the dragon king's supernatural powers, and he did not dare to go to Hanhe to ask for the crime. It happened that the Sect Master of the Pure Heaven Sect was passing by Qingbao County at that time, and after learning about this, he personally went to the Hanhe River to capture the dragon. The Dragon King refused to accept and fled from Qingbao County and came to our Yuan'an County, but in the end he was beheaded by the Pure Heaven Sect Master. ”
Xu Daoyun listened attentively, and muttered: "It turns out that there are so many twists and turns, but Zizheng's predecessors, why are there so many water demons gathered here, some time ago I also saw a tail several feet thick rising in the river, could it be that the dragon head was still alive and grew out of the dragon body?"
Mr. Zizheng said: "No, just because the old dragon of Hanhe was not convinced, he was angry after his death, and he insisted on introducing the severed dragon head into the leyline." After decades of accumulation, this resentment has become stronger and stronger, and it has actually achieved the fish, shrimp and crabs in the river, helping them to open their spiritual wisdom and cultivate into refinement. As for why these water tribe demons suddenly came ashore to commit murder, I don't know, and the black giant tail you mentioned, I don't dare to speculate. ”
Xie Zhixian took Mr. Zizheng down Nanxi Mountain and went to Wangsi River to inspect.
Xu Daoyun came to the cliff alone and stood still, his heart was like numbness, worried about Zhao Sijie's safety.
Now that Nie Qingsheng has unfortunately fallen, the former entrustment is still echoing in his ears, when he is in a desperate situation, Zhao Sijie is the most relieved in his heart, Zhao Sijie is the most indebted, and Zhao Sijie is the most reluctant.
His love for his daughter, Xu Daoyun saw it in his eyes, and he was extremely envious in his heart, but he felt sorry for the fact that their father and daughter had not yet released their previous suspicions, let alone enjoyed the joy of family, but they were separated by yin and yang, and people and ghosts had different paths.
Things in the world are unpredictable and cannot be changed by human beings.
Xu Daoyun couldn't help but think of the unsolved death calamity on his body, if everything has a fixed number, and everyone has their own destiny, then he entered the world to find the "World Journey Xuanpu" with the intention of changing his life, is he going against the way of heaven and against the sky.
Xu Daoyun laughed at himself, took a sip of the gourd, and said to himself: "Why worry about the sky, the first catastrophe is still far away, and the second catastrophe is not known how many years later, there will be wine today and drunk tomorrow." ”
"Good one day, one day, one day, one day, one day, one day ”
The words sounded, Xu Daoyun turned to look, only to see Zhu Bo limping over, and said with a smile: "Brother Daoyun, you are finally here." ”
"Brother Zhu, what is the injury on your leg?"
Zhu Bo waved his hand and said, "Compared with other brothers, I am considered to be a cultivator. Don't you know, the day before yesterday, the Sijiang River was overwhelmingly pressed against my camp, and the water tribe demons came to commit a large crime, and the brothers either died in the chaos, or were swept into the flood and there were no bones left, and I should burn high incense if I could save my life. ”
"I'm ashamed, at that time, you were waiting for a bloody battle, but I was living a hundred miles away, not only failed to complete the task of commanding the envoy, but even his instructions were not fulfilled, and I was really shameless to face Brother Zhu and the brothers. ”
Zhu Bo said with a smile: "Brother Daoyun, where is it, how can I not know that you have done your best? The Innocent Sect is the number one cult that has taken root in Jiangzhou for thousands of years, and although it has disappeared in the past few years, its power has been constantly expanding, and there are many strange and talented people in the sect. With your own strength, it is not easy to get out of the way, how can you blame the fault on you. ”
"Brother Zhu is really comforting, and I feel much better. ”
Zhu Bo sat on the edge of the cliff, looked at the clouds rolling under his feet, and said: "This time, Mr. Zizheng is out of the horse, and I hope that the trouble of the water demon in Sijiang will be solved, and we can breathe a sigh of relief." It's just that Yun Weisi has suffered a big change, and the commander has unfortunately fallen, and after returning to Qingping County, I am afraid that it will be another trouble for all parties to fight for power and land. ”
Xu Daoyun asked in a low voice: "Brother Zhu, who is this Mr. Zizheng, even Xie Zhixian has to call him Mr., I think he must have a great background, right?"
Zhu Bo said with a smile: "It's not just a big deal, this person is the head of the Confucian family of Zhongmiao Xuanmen in Qingping County, his full name is Cao Zizheng, he was a scholar, but unfortunately he failed in the scientific examination, and he wanted to become a monk in frustration, but he went to Tingshan Dongyu Academy by mistake and worshipped Mr. Zhang Fu as a teacher. After learning and succeeding, he regained his confidence, entered the WTO for several years, and was appreciated by the old Confucian master of Miaoxuanmen, and took over as the head of the new generation. ”
Xu Daoyun sighed: "If he is really a legend, he took me to space just now, which is really comfortable." ”
"He is a great cultivator of the Qi Gathering Realm, and it is rumored that his cultivation has reached the first level, and he is not far from the Guiyuan Realm. ”
Xu Daoyun smiled bitterly: "I am worthy of being a senior master, when will I reach his level?"
Zhu Bo pouted and said, "Be content, you can become a Qi Refining Realm cultivator at the age of sixteen or seventeen, I don't know how many people will envy your outstanding talent." Look at me again, I'm twenty-two years old, but I'm still hovering at the peak of the Innate Realm, I'm really ashamed. ”
Xu Daoyun grinned, handed him the wine gourd, and said, "Brother Zhu, you have never tasted this wine, it has a different taste, it is no worse than drunken immortal wine, you can taste it." ”
"Really, fake. Zhu Bo was suspicious, took the gourd and took a sip.
The liquor melted in his mouth, rolled in his throat, and swallowed into his stomach. Zhu Bo's eyes widened, and he said incredulously: "Sure enough, it's a good wine, rare good wine, Brother Daoyun, where did you buy this wine?"
Xu Daoyun smiled proudly, shook his head and said: "Unintentionally, you can't ask for it, just this pot, you won't drink it after drinking, and you won't be able to drink it in the future." ”
"It's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity, if you can't drink such a good wine in the world, wouldn't it be a regret in life?" Zhu Bo said as he poured the peach blossom brew into his mouth vigorously, not ambiguous at all.
The corners of Xu Daoyun's eyes twitched, his heart was dripping blood, he hurriedly snatched the wine gourd, hid it in his arms like a treasure, and said, "Brother Zhu, this wine is not much." ”
Zhu Bo hurriedly said: "Brother Daoyun, there is no such thing as you, give me another drink." ”
"Just one bite. ”
"Just one bite. ”
A big bite.
Xu Daoyun hung the gourd on his waist in pain, and suddenly saw a tide rising in the west, covering the sky and the sun.
"Brother Zhu, look at it!"
The tide rises dozens of feet high and then crashes down, smashing down a large area of mountain forest, causing landslides and mudslides.
All the officials on Nanxi Mountain, the Qingqi Guards, and the Pure Heaven Sect disciples all looked intently to the west.
I saw a white light break through the tide of water and rise into the sky. Immediately after that, the dark tide of the Wangsi River was surging, and suddenly the sky was full of splashes, and a concave tortoise taller than the mountains flew up from the river and chased straight to the white light in mid-air.
The white light continued to rise, piercing through the clouds and fog at an extremely fast speed.
The concave tortoise chased after it, but it was not slow.
When Nanxi Mountain climbed, it was shrouded in the shadow cast by the giant tortoise, and it did not see the light of day.
Xu Daoyun was dumbfounded, dumbfounded, and couldn't say a word.
Although they are monks, they have limited contact with each other, when have they ever seen such a behemoth? At this moment, they were all shocked by the scene they saw in front of them, and they were stunned for a moment, speechless.
Zhu Bo and the others all secretly swallowed their saliva, and when they thought that they were actually fighting against such a monster these days, they felt a chill down their spines, cold sweat on their foreheads, and a sense of happiness for the rest of their lives.
