209 Aftermath
Dingzhou.
On the west shore of Dongting Lake, there are already a lot of people bustling around the lake at this moment, and even the officials of the nearby counties have come a lot, because the movement here last night was too big, and some fishermen who were close to it were directly awakened, and now there are a few fishermen talking about something around a steward-like official.
"Really, my lord, what my man said is true! It's really a dragon! My mother, I was almost scared to death last night, I haven't seen such a thing when I'm so big, it's just across the sky above this lake, my mother, God knows how big the dragon is! It's been covered for half the day, and I can't see anything when I look up! My mother, if we hadn't fainted from being scared directly, maybe we would have been dragged away and eaten by the evil dragon now! My lord, this is really not my nonsense, you ask them, last night so much noise everyone heard it, Uncle Wang, second cousin, did you say it? My mother-in-law! The loud voice sounded like it exploded into the sky, and it directly shook my man out of bed! My mother-in-law, I'm afraid it wasn't the old dragon king in Dongting Lake who was powerful! My lord, this matter is not a joke, and we must talk to the county magistrate! The dragon king temple in the south of the city hasn't sent anyone to sweep it for some years, right? These eight achievements are because the old dragon king is unhappy! You see, this morning, there is not even a decent fish and shrimp in the lake, how can we live like this? This must be someone who angered the old dragon king of Dongting, so this old dragon king has just appeared, we must check it carefully, otherwise the dragon king in this lake will not reward us with food!"
The fisherwoman said dryly, and the more she talked, the more excited she became, and at the end she mentioned that the Dragon King of Dongting was angry and angry with the fishermen and did not give the water a way to live, and one by one she was even more anxious as if she had lost a relative.
And these officials are also helpless, there was indeed a lot of movement on the side of Dongting Lake last night, and they were sent to investigate early in the morning, how do they know that when they opened their mouths and asked about the appearance of the old dragon king of Dongting, the fish and shrimp in this Dongting Lake were gone.
Who can believe this kind of thing? But there are still many people who have seen it with their own eyes, so they are also a little at a loss for a while, whether they should continue to investigate this matter, or go back and report it to their superiors first?
At this moment, a fast horse broke into the crowd, and immediately got down, ran to the consul in three or two steps and whispered a few words, and the consul's expression was grim, and he nodded again and again.
As a result, no one at the scene asked what the movement was last night, but opened their mouths to comfort the frightened fishermen, and as for the appearance of the Dongting Dragon King, they kept silent, and if others wanted to say it, they just listened, just made a guarantee, and the county would soon send someone to take a look at the situation of this Dongting Lake, check the situation in the lake and make a decision.
Not to mention the civil disturbance on the shore of Dongting Lake, as for Wang Shen and the others, they had already left the scene early, and they were afraid of another incident, so they went directly to the nearest Yin Division. And not long after they went back, the remaining two people and Dong Sanpo and others finally heard from them.
It was only after all the people from all walks of life rushed back to the assembly and several parties met that what happened last night was clear and conclusive.
Whether it was the people of Jingjiang Dao or Chongqing Dao, they were all ambushed by the masters of the Demon Dao Blood Demon Palace last night, and there were at least two Blood Demon Palace masters on each road, so they each issued an urgent order for help, and after Dong Sanpo and the others arrived, the people of the Blood Demon Palace only delayed, and the two sides were entangled until the people of the Blood Demon Palace retreated after dawn. However, fortunately, there were not too many casualties on both sides of this head-to-head confrontation, and it seems that the Blood Demon Palace is still afraid of the Spring and Autumn Mansion, and when the two lantern guards were ambushed, they didn't even take out the blood beads they brought with them, but they only injured a few Spring and Autumn Mansion masters.
In other words, last night's incident was a ploy arranged by the Blood Demon Palace, not only did the six hall masters in the palace come at once, but even the left and right protectors came, and the people of the Imperial Ghost Sect just acted as a helper, and its purpose seemed to be to suppress the Mo family's disgusting hall at the bottom of Dongting Lake. As for the terrifying dragon soul that was suppressed by the Disgusting Palace, I am afraid that it was not the purpose of the Bloody Demon Palace's trip, perhaps even they didn't know what this Disgusting Highness suppressed at all.
After all, that big dragon was really too terrifying, if the people of the Blood Demon Palace had known about it earlier, I am afraid that this trip would never be as simple as just one or so protectors.
Fortunately, the soul of the great dragon did not bring any terrible consequences, and it was suppressed and destroyed by Tianguang not long after it was suppressed by the Temple of Disgust. As for what the light was, no one could say clearly, and no one present, including Yu Lian, could remember what the light pattern looked like.
And what they didn't know was that at the same time as the light appeared, in a mysterious corner between heaven and earth, there was an ordinary room, and everything in the room looked ordinary, except that on one side of the room against the wall, there was a simple bronze mirror about one person high, and on this bronze mirror was clearly showing everything that happened on Dongting Lake.
In the mirror, the big dragon is churning, the arrogance is monstrous, and it is impossible to live, and even wants to swallow the mighty 800-mile Dongting Lake in one bite.
However, the next moment, a light eerily lit up on the bronze mirror, and the position where this light appeared happened to be the location where the sky light appeared, and the next scene was just as Wang Shen and others saw, the sky light turned into a strange picture and suppressed the dragon soul.
As a result, the scene in the bronze mirror gradually faded until it disappeared, and finally only a shallow faint soul light flashed in the depths of the bronze mirror and disappeared, and then the bronze mirror returned to its original lifeless and dim appearance.
On the opposite side of the bronze mirror, on the other side of the room, there was a large bed, and on the bed was sleeping a gray-haired old man, but this old man was sleeping all the time, no matter how drastic the world in the bronze mirror was, it seemed that it had no effect on him, and he slept soundly, and he did not even turn his body over.
For the impact of this overnight accident in Dongting Lake on the world, Wang Shen can't imagine it now, of course, he himself has naturally been affected by some influences, such as after this battle, the abnormal movements of the Demon Dao factions have caused the Spring and Autumn Mansion to worry, causing some changes in his next itinerary.
Therefore, after a discussion, the person in charge of each road decided that everyone would be repairing in Dingzhou for three days, and the team of the four soul-guarding lamps was still preparing to take the waterway along the Yangtze River all the way east to Maoshan according to the original plan. And Dong Sanpo took the elite of the Spring and Autumn Mansion on the Xishu Road to leave Dingzhou by land, and went directly to Jiankang City to report what happened on the way to the Spring and Autumn Mansion for decision.
