On top of a hill.

Gu Dan stared solemnly at the rolling flood below the mountain, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

The flood came so suddenly and quickly that it was completely beyond expectations.

"The last flood disaster in Yuzhou dates back to the 22nd year of Zongming"

Gu Dan thought of the time when he was chatting with Moqiu in the restaurant, when Da Yue was not as dangerous as it is now, but it also caused a lot of damage.

Tens of thousands of people were displaced, hundreds of thousands of people were left homeless, which indirectly led to a large increase in the number of bandits, and the White Lotus Sect was also known at that time.

In a blink of an eye for more than 20 years, he went to Yuzhou for the first time, but Gu Dan didn't expect to be so coincidentally hit by a flood.

With such the power of heaven and earth, even the great grandmaster has no ability to turn things around, so he can only lead everyone to retreat to the mountain.

"It's not normal."

Beside Wang Mang, the White Lotus Holy Maiden Xu Wanrong frowned, and said seriously: "There should always be some signs of flooding, it did rain a lot some time ago, and the water of the source river has risen a lot, but that level of rise is not dangerous, almost every year."

Even if there is a flood, it should not be so sudden and violent, and there is always news from all over the world before that. What's more, Akino Village is located under a high mountain, and the terrain is outstanding, so even if there is a flood, it should not start here! ”

The basic plate of the White Lotus Sect has always been in Yuzhou, and the White Lotus Holy Maiden has grown up in Yuzhou since she was a child, and she is more familiar with everything here.

The flood in front of you is completely different from the normal appearance of a flood!

"How can this flood still intensify?"

Wang Mang also noticed that the water flow below the mountain did not decrease at all, and even became more and more rapid and terrifying, and even the water level rose a little more - as if something was pushing the current to become more and more powerful!

Generally speaking, even if the water rises, the first wave is the most terrifying, but after surviving the first wave, the subsequent water will inevitably be as fast and unstoppable as the beginning.

But after waiting for a long time, the flood under the mountain became more and more intense, and there was no reduction at all.

According to the people of Hongyang Hall who gathered, there was no news of the water canal bursting around! Not to mention the burst of the canal, there is not even news of the overflow of the embankment, where did this flood come from?

"The operation of heaven and earth has its own reason, that is, the law between heaven and earth. The flow of yin and yang, the five elements, and the meteorology and astronomy all come from this, and I have never heard of the ears of rice that grow on their own without nutrients, and I have never heard of people who understand all things without learning. The reason for all things is hidden between heaven and earth, which is born from the form and transformed into the formless, all of which have their own reasons and depend on each other.

Everything is connected, and this can be a 'sign', and if you see the truth first, you can know what will happen next. There was no sign of this flood before it came, it did not conform to the law of the development of things, and it did not look like a natural disaster. ”

Zou Dan said thoughtfully.

It's not like a natural disaster.

Gu Dan stared at the waves and floods rushing wantonly, and his eyes suddenly became fierce.

The next moment, as if he had turned into a bird of the Roc, he jumped down from the mountain, as if out of thin air, and flew towards the river as an arrow from the string.

When he was about to fall into the river, Gu Dan's figure suddenly froze, and he lightly stepped on the rushing water, like a weightless feather.

The big hand condensed by the true qi grabbed it in his hand, stirring up some waves of water, and it didn't stop for too long, and the next moment it turned back with the thing that the big hand of the true qi grasped.

Everyone didn't have time to be surprised by the strength shown in this weightlift, and their eyes fell on the thing that the real qi grasped with his big hands.

That's the one. Corpse!

To be precise, it should be a corpse that has been swollen by blisters and cut a little by various unknown things.

If you really look closely, I'm afraid that people will vomit all the food they have just eaten.

Fortunately, several people are very human, and they can still endure the discomfort in their hearts and take a look.

"This man has been in the water for at least four days."

Gu Dan glanced at it, and immediately said firmly.

Anyway, I was born in a hospital, and I don't know how much I have read medical books, so I am still very sure of judging these things.

"Look at his clothes, this is Huang Tianjun's outfit!"

The White Lotus Holy Maiden was the first to determine the location of the corpse's camp.

"Huang Tianjun?"

Gu Dan nodded slightly, and his true qi turned the man around, and made a conclusion, "There are no overly obvious injuries on the body, and the wounds and ulcers caused by some blunt instruments are also scratched by those stones, mud, and branches because of the slightly longer time spent in the water. This person should have been swept away by the sudden flow of water, and finally drowned alive in the water. ”

"If we calculate the time of the flood by the time he died in the water, does it not mean that there was a disaster somewhere four days ago? At this point in four days, Huang Tianjun won't be Huayuankou, right?! ”

Wang Mang muttered to himself, startled.

"Huayuankou?"

Gu Dan's eyes searched.

Huayuankou is the source river diversion place, is one of the largest ferries in Yuzhou, stretches for dozens of miles, at a glance looks like an ocean, so it is called the source, which means that the water of the source river flowing into Yuzhou is all gathered from there. Yangzhou and Yuzhou also carry out shipping trade through Huayuankou, which is a vital place.

Such a place related to the lifeblood of a state, the people of the imperial court will repair and strengthen it every year, and they will never dare to have the slightest problem. Compared with the flood in the twenty-second year of Zong Ming, it was really a small thing. ”

The White Lotus Holy Maiden immediately helped to answer.

"It shouldn't be possible! There are many embankments in Huayuankou, the materials are solid, and the depth of the root stone is nearly ten zhang! There are more than 100 stacks and revetments, how can it be said that it will collapse? ”

Wang Mang shook his head again and again, not agreeing with this possibility.

What are you kidding, Huayuankou collapses, doesn't that mean that half of Yuzhou will suffer?

The consequences of this matter are completely unimaginable!

"Huayuan Mouth Flood"

Gu Dan's brows furrowed deeply, and a bad premonition appeared in his heart.

He had written to Murchu before he came, and judging by the time, Murco should have received his message.

Now, what about Murky?!

There was a sudden "chuckle" in my heart.

HuayuankouHuayuankouHuayuankou.

Gu Dan's face became extremely ugly for a while, staring at the endless rolling mud and sand in front of him, and his fists were unconsciously clenched together.

His changes were naturally seen by everyone, Wang Mang secretly took a breath, and said cautiously: "Brother Gu. Maybe I'm talking nonsense. ”

"You guys are here to collect the victims, and when the flood recedes, you can treat it, and if you can't manage it, try to save people, I'll go to Huayuankou to take a look first!"

Gu Dan's eyes were slightly cold, and without waiting for everyone to speak, he galloped down from the top of the mountain like a Dapeng bird.

The rolling mud and sand water was still washing, and the soles of his feet lightly touched the current, walking against the waves, treading the waves like flying.

In an instant, it was gone.

"This"

Wang Mang was a little stunned, and several people on the mountain looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a while.

As far as the eye can see, there is mud and sand water.

The further you go, the more you can see how serious this flood has become.

If there were still some expectations in my heart before, when I ran above the water for a while, Gu Dan could almost say with certainty that this was definitely a dam collapse.

The swift current swept away everything, and the whole world seemed obscure, and there was not a trace of dry shore in sight.

Heaven and earth seemed to have fallen into the billowing mud and sand, and the eyes were filled with the endless sound of water.

Something in my heart is getting heavier and heavier, and the speed of Gu Bao is getting faster and faster.

The white true qi streaked through the air, and his figure was like a meteor speeding above the flood, and the mud and sand flowing below were forced to split a ravine-like pattern by the air flow driven by the fierce true qi, bringing a little smoke wave.

It's just that compared to the filth all over the ground, a little smoke and waves died out in the blink of an eye, and there was no sound in it, and the muddy water covered everything again.

I don't know how long I ran forward, but at a certain moment, there was a dense raindrop in front of me!

Yuzhou is very large, even in the same place, a sunny day, a thunderstorm is normal.

The dazzling thunder light continued to slash down from heaven and earth, and occasionally everything around was illuminated brightly, as bright as day.

The further he went, the faster the flood became, and several corpses were found as he ran forward.

Thankfully, there were no ink figures among the corpses - after all, the ink people were all dressed in short brown cloth clothes, which were still easy to identify at such a time of year.

But the faint euphoria did not last long.

When he broke into the stormy land, it didn't take long for Gu Dan to see a lonely hill.

There are a few ant-like people moving on it.

Without any hesitation, Gu Dan rushed directly towards the mountain.

The white light stood out in the stormy world, and the people on the mountain noticed him.

"Inkman?"

When he got close to the hill, Gu Dan saw several ink figures at a glance, the physique, the qi and blood, and the clothes, you can see it at a glance.

"I don't know who you are?!"

The eldest ink artist stepped forward and looked at Gu Dan with a surprised look in his eyes.

This person is really like a rainbow, treading water, fast as a meteor, like an immortal, his cultivation is afraid of reaching the realm, but his eyes are very raw!

"Where's Inkhill? I had an appointment with him."

Gu Dan glanced at it, and found that there was no ink mound among these people, and immediately asked.

"It turned out to be a friend of the giant."

The elder ink man arched his hand slightly, and said without any nonsense: "A few days ago, we and Juzi were helping to guide the people who fled from Yuzhou and Yangzhou, when suddenly a big flood came to us, and Juzi went away alone against the flood, and he has not returned yet. ”

Alone in the flood and has not returned.

"How long have you been there?"

As if he had been hit hard in his heart, Gu Dan's face sank like water, and he asked in a cold voice.

"It's been more than five days now."

The inkman replied immediately.

More than five days, plus the time he took to travel, was about the same time as the death of the body he fished out of the river.

His judgment was not erroneous.

"Five days and no news?"

Gu Dan gritted his teeth and asked.

"Nope!"

The ink man shook his head helplessly and said: "Such a swift and violent flood, even those who practice dirty masters are not easy to resist, only the grandmaster can come and go freely, and my generation has no choice but to wait." ”

The impact of the flood is beyond the reach of ordinary people, let alone the mud, sand, rocks and even broken wood hidden in the water.

If you don't advance or retreat, you can be used to advise people, but it is also an established fact.

In front of the great power of this heaven and earth, the individual seems so insignificant, only the martial arts master can still swim against the current under such circumstances, but he can't change anything.

"Is it Huayuankou?"

Gu Dan asked abruptly.

The ink man was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly, "On such a scale, it should be." ”

"Farewell!"

Without saying anything more, Gu Dan began to hurry again.

The white true qi pushed through the wind, broke the torrential rain, and paddled the water, and the film did not stop for a moment, only the speed became faster and faster, and the waves were thrown high behind him.

Faintly, under the mud and sand, it seems that some behemoth is lapping the waves of yellow sand and muddy water, and is about to be born.

Everything was left behind, and it was impossible to tell the exact time in such a sky, and I don't know how long it had been running, as if the scene of the sea had finally changed a little.

There was a high levee in front of it, like a giant who had been submerged in a flood raising an arm strong enough to hold the sky, leaving an island to inhabit in the unbridled ocean.

And on the side of that isolated island, the current has swallowed everything, as if falling into a bottomless whirlpool, and there is no more daylight.

Huayuankou, arrived.

At first glance, it was empty.

In this situation, Gu was secretly relieved when he was worried, and only a little expectation rose in his heart.

It should not be too late.

He sped away without stopping, and the embankment, which had been in sight before, had reached in an instant.

Gu Dan's face froze in an instant.

On top of the heavy embankment, there were dense cracks like spider webs, and there were marks that looked like sharp swords.

That's the traces of the battle.

It belongs to the traces of the martial arts master after the battle.

There was a grandmaster who fought here.

Gu Dan landed on the embankment, and his eyes sank completely.

He walked towards the place of battle, and there were red blood stains on the ground, even the rain could not erase the bright red color, as if it was still alive.

At the end of his line of sight, he saw a small tomb.

The little tomb looked so out of place on the embankment, so unseemly.

And in front of the tomb, there is also a stone tablet that is not very smooth, which should have been cut directly from the embankment, and stands there silently.

【Mojia Giant, Tomb of Moqiu】

When his eyes touched the eight words on the stone tablet, Gu Dan was like being struck by lightning and froze there.

Thousands of thoughts poured into my heart together, but my mind was empty.

Like a deer caught in headlights.

There are thousands of regrets in the world, and silence hurts the most.
