23. Water floods the golden mountain
Right now, the flood is raging.
The rushing water mixed with yellow, with the non-stop rain, swelled to a terrible distance, carrying a large amount of mud and earth stones, along the best route formed by natural selection for thousands of years - the river, mercilessly crushed down from the heights!
Thundered......
Yong'an Village stands at the foot of the mountain, and there is a river running through the villageββ
Either way, it was destined that this small village would face this sudden disaster, flash floods, mudslides...... This kind of disaster, which has traditionally only occurred on television and newspaper broadcasts, caught the villagers off guard, who live with loess crops every day.
If it weren't for Han Jiujiu, maybe last night, people would have been swallowed up by the flood in their deep sleep......
"Edict, wood and stone take rootβ"
With a clear drink, the divine power shot like an arrow in all directions, submerging into the many trees, dirt and stones.
In front of the roaring waves, rows of green trees grew like soldiers who had received orders, intercepting the flood peaks with their trunks, branches, and even dense leaves! And the root system, shrouded in pale golden divine power, stretched out the roots vigorously, grabbed the soil and stones under the body, downwards and in all directions, and used the roots to weave a shocking net, guarding the water and soil with their bodies to fight against the raging flood!
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! β¦β¦
Not only that, but there are also those stones that are rooted around the river, no matter how big or small, are instantly huge under Han Jiujiu's divine power, and even some pumice stones that should have been swept away by the current seem to have taken root, stationed next to the river, facing the impact of the flood with their heavy bodies!
Wood and stone take root, based on divine power, and use the body as a fortress, weakening the impact of the flood and weakening its power every minute!
"Edict, mountains and rivers open the way-"
There was another scolding, and another divine light flew out from Han Jiujiu's body, and he sank into the land between the mountains and tombs-
In the roar of the flood, the earth and rocks shifted, and the trees gave way - Han Jiu Jiusheng opened another river between the mountains and tombs!
Al-la-la, the flood peak diverted - the mixed yellow river water came out and rushed towards the newly opened new river channel, and the torrent of people was reduced by one point!
"Whew...... Whew......"
The sound of heavy breathing echoed.
In the mixed yellow flood, the towering trees are firmly guarding the mountains and rivers, and the green canopy at the top is particularly eye-catching in the vast yellow water, Han Jiujiu stands on it, his jade hands are covered with mud, and he is holding on to the moist branches, and he can't tell the rain and sweat, half sitting and half kneeling, and his sour limbs show the horror of the night.
The heavy rain poured down, and the trend of weakening at all was not at all, and Han Jiujiu's half-kneeling body was small, but it was like a pillar that shielded the people behind her who knew or did not know her existence......
Under the sweep of divine thoughts, whether it was the devastated mountains and forests or the noisy and busy villages, they were all collected into the bloodshot eyes, and turned into a tired and annoyed voice:
"I'm running out of power, I'm going to ...... Can't hold on......"
The words fell, Han Jiujiu sat paralyzed on the ground for a long time, the pale golden divine light surrounding his body dimmed, and in an instant, those big trees and boulders that had made great use of their divine power suddenly paused-
The giant trees were reduced to small trees, the boulders rolled back into rootless pumice, and the original flood defense line was wrapped in the flood, and the muddy water turned into a more terrifying mudslide between the earth and rocks, and crushed down with amazing power!
Starting from the distant mountains, without the support of divine power, countless green trees and rocks are like dominoes, facing the flood peak that continues to accumulate strength, and they collapse in a bang!
"Oops!"
Sensing the form in the distance, Han Jiujiu's face became more and more pale, and the rows of flood defense lines that had been forged all night were like paper paste after losing their divine power, and they would be broken with a single stab!
"How can this be ......"
Han Jiujiu's body was cold, and he watched the natural disaster grow to the point of terror in an instant, like a suppressed spring rebounding!
The hairband on her head glowed with a warm red light, and at that time, the living beings fed back the power of faith to the gods, wanting to warm their own gods, but for Han Jiujiu, they couldn't pull her out of the dizzy hell-
For a whole night, the edict was used to make the wood and stone take root and protect the water and soil; The royal decree ordered the mountains and rivers to open their channels and divert the torrents; Expelled the beasts with an edict to avoid the flood peak...... With the slight divine power of a newly promoted land, guarding his territory, Han Jiujiu has already achieved his limit.
But...... Still no, the mountains and rivers are the result of nature's choice for thousands of years, no matter how much she diverts the flood and intercepts the soil and rocks, it is just a delay for a while.
What should come, you still have to face it!
"The mudslide is coming!!"
A frightened shout almost made the team retreating to the cave in the back mountain with their families panic for a moment.
Rice bags are dropped, luggage is scattered, and children are crying......
But people didn't have time to notice it anymore, and the rumbling mudslide drowned their front and back feet! Caught with one's pants down!
"Ahh Yes! "Run!!" "Helpβ"
In the muddy water, the last few people in the team fell to the ground, and were quickly dragged and fled by the people in front of them, and they couldn't even take care of their precious luggage - the road met the stone steps, and they swooped over at once, and they could avoid the mudslide that came from the overwhelming pressure!
"Ho...... Ho ......"
The few people who picked up their lives suddenly collapsed to the ground, and there was a shocking heavy gasp in their throats, and several tall and rough men all revealed the deep happiness of the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, and they looked at each other, and couldn't help but let out a few dry laughs of unknown meaning-
"Smack!" "Smack!" "Smack!"
"Ouch! Who hit me! β
A bamboo cane in exchange for a few annoyed and angry cheers, a few people turned their heads to see that it was an angry old man: "Old grandfather?!! β
Several people suddenly paused, covered their heads that had been knocked out, and said aggrievedly: "Why are you beating us?" β
"Beat you bumbling idiots! What are you doing here, do you think the muddy water can't catch up, why don't you hurry up and help move things! There are so many grandmothers and little babies, you young boys can't do it, let me, an old man, do you do it for you! β
"Hey, I know, I know!"
A few young men who had been taught a lesson looked at the old grandfather who was wearing a robe, holding a bamboo cane, commanding back and forth in the wind and rain, and then looked at the luggage and materials behind him that were too late to be rescued, his face was red, and he hurriedly patted his ass and stood up, regardless of the crooked raincoat on his body, he went to the front to take the weight of the old and weak women and children, supported each other, and walked to the cave in the back mountain.
The old grandfather touched his beard with relief, a pair of eyes that should have been cloudy flashed with clear light, looking back at the village behind him that was swallowed by mud, twitching the corners of his lips, but in the end he couldn't say anything!
With a heavy sigh, the old grandfather looked at the mud that had caught up with the stone steps again, raised his legs again, and followed the team that was gradually moving away, and disappeared into the place where he had raised his life......
"It's good if people are okay......"
The distant divine thoughts came back to induce, and Han Jiujiu, who was exhausted by the consumption of divine power, sighed softly, and washed the mud with the rain in the sky, revealing a beautiful jade carved posture underneath, bathed in rain, and his clothes were wet, like a hibiscus out of the water.
Han Jiujiu brushed the hair that was hit by the rain, and the large consumption of divine power made her unable to use even the most ordinary rain shelter technique, and the soaked clothes stuck to her body, outlining the mysterious curves, which also made her feel a little more pitiful.
"The rescued materials are enough for the villagers to spend a month and a half in the cave, and when the time comes, the flood should be gone, as long as we pay attention to disease prevention and epidemic prevention, and wait for the government's rescue to come in, it will help them get through the most difficult hurdle."
Han Jiujiu looked at Yongshan Village, which was destroyed under the mudslide, and his eyes were gloomy, but then he recovered and calmly analyzed the current situation:
"There is a well-informed old man in the cave to stabilize people's hearts, there should be no problem, I will send some herbs for disease prevention and epidemic prevention from Sheji Yuanmingli, there are a lot of messes left when I found medicine for Qiao Shi last time, and this time it can come in handy!"
"The beasts in the mountains have also been placed in place, and the foundation of the living beings of the 100,000 mountains has not been damaged, and the ecological reconstruction will be much easier in the future...... The torrents will gradually stabilize after the torrents, and the mudslides have already inundated the village, and no amount of means will be used...... The reconstruction of the village requires the participation of the human government, and although I am for the land, it is not good for me to intervene directly......"
After thinking about it, Han Jiujiu stretched out his palm, looked up at the sky, looked at the endless lewd rain falling from the sky, and slowly spoke:
"Now, there's only one thing left β how...... Let this rain stop! β
The source of the disaster is this rain, and if the rain does not stop, no one can predict what kind of tragedy will occur!
"Dansheng...... Python ......"
Han Jiujiu's mind crossed the words of the winged snakes that he had seen not long ago, and he fell into deep thought......
"Dansheng belongs to water, it is an ancient beast, it has the ability to stir up the wind and rain and cause floods, but there are legends of Dansheng to repay the favor in ancient times, this kind of creature is not like the poor Qi, Han Qi and other ferocious beasts or simply suppress good and promote evil, why will it suddenly stir up the wind and rain in the world? When the world is humane, the mortal world is dominated by people, and the demons and demons are all avoided, although the burden is a divine python, it should not bear such cause and effect! β
"What's more, the wind and rain strategy involves the mandate of heaven, and with the supervision of the Heavenly Dao, it is not afraid of getting into the heavens?"
Han Jiujiu recalled the day he accepted the seal, which almost exploded the terrifying existence of the entire Zhihai - Heavenly Prison, supervising the nine heavens and ten earths, and disrupting the order of heaven and earth.
Looking at this increasingly severe disaster, this unscrupulous behavior will sooner or later lead to those who are in the clouds!
"So, is it going to be a fuss even if you don't want to die? What is the meaning......" Han Jiujiu stood up from the canopy, puzzled.
Suddenly, an old voice emerged from behind: "The significance of what the Dansheng Python did is that he wants to rely on such wind and rain to connect the water veins and get out of the seal!" β
Who is it?!
Han Jiujiu turned around suddenly, and a pair of pale golden pupils reflected an ancient road looming in the wind and rain, as well as the figure of the white-bearded mopping the floor standing at the end of the road!
The old man with a cane with willow leaves bent down slightly, bowed to Han Jiujiu, and said, "The old decay Xingma Mountain thousand-year-old willow spirit has seen the mother-in-law of Yongshan Land. β
Willow Spirit? Could it be the "Grandpa Liu" in the mouth of the little monster who delivered medicine last time?
Han Jiujiu didn't dare to slack off, and immediately returned the salute, saying: "I have admired Grandpa Liu's name for a long time, I don't want to see it here, dare to ask Grandpa Liu what he just said is true?" β
"There is nothing false in what the old man says."
The white-bearded old man who mopped the floor smiled slightly, pointed in the southeast direction, and said: "A thousand years ago, the place where the Dansheng Divine Python was sealed was there, and the old man could see it with his own eyes!" β
It turned out that on the edge of Yichuan County, not far from Han Jiujiu's territory, there was a mountain, and there was an ancient tower on the mountainside, called the Shuangjue Tower, which had been left in the world for a thousand years, and the original reason why it was built was to suppress a bearish python!
The python belongs to water, and when it encounters water, it is born, and the power of the gods rises. In order to avoid this incident, the people who repaired the tower deliberately built the sealing tower under a cliff in the mountains that was sheltered from the wind and rain - huge rocks supported the sky and isolated from the rain; Mountains and rocks are the base, and the earth and water are cut off - this is a double separation, in order to isolate the life from the source of its power, so as to suppress it in this place forever.
However, thousands of years have passed, and I don't know if there is something wrong with the Twin Towers themselves, and the seal of good life has been torn a little, waking up the python that has been sleeping for thousands of years.
"The Dansheng Divine Python used its natural powers to call for wind and rain, and wanted to let the flood flood flood up the mountainside and help it get out of trouble!"
The whole realistic version of the water flooding Jinshan......
Han Jiujiu was powerless to complain.
At the same time, the province of Gui was hit by widespread flooding, triggering a number of severe disasters, and the government's disaster relief department had to appeal to the military for help, and the message for help was placed on the table of the commander of the Southern Military Region, General Zhou Lao.
"Major Qiao," General Zhou rummaged through the paperwork on the table and said to a young man with a straight figure in front of him, "This time, because the affected area is too large and the local troops are understaffed, our Southern Military Region will send teams to support, and these teams will be led by you." β
snapped and saluted, Qiao Shi's expressionless face was full of determination, and he said, "Yes!" β
But his eyes fell on the corner of the rescue map, an inconspicuous name: Yongshan Village......
