Chapter Seventy-Five: Greed
Who am I?
Where am I?
What the hell did I do!
Looking at the gods everywhere in front of him, the ghost Taoist only felt that his brain was blank, and his mind almost stopped.
You're really brave.
Bai Changsheng couldn't help but feel happy, he had been wondering why the other party hadn't made a move a few days ago, and he thought to himself that he didn't wait until after the banquet, he was going to leave Donglai Country at that time.
As a result, I never thought that this ghost Taoist would choose to do it tonight, in front of so many gods on the scene, I can only say that this ghost Taoist will pick time.
And the subsequent fate of the ghost Daoist naturally does not need to be said, Cui Chenghuang directly started to search for souls.
After making sure that there was no one else behind the ghost Dao man, he was just a casual cultivator who wanted to beat Bai Changsheng, and after cultivating demon skills, he directly beat the ghost Dao man on the spot.
After the ghost people were resolved, the banquet continued, and the gods continued to drink wine, eat food, and talk about Amaterasu.........
At the same time, the Dongjiangyan, which gathered more than 30 miles in Tanglin City, was finally successfully emptied after several days of drainage and discharge, especially with the secret assistance of the spirit turtle.
"Big brother, look, what's that?"
At this time, a soldier suddenly pointed to a shallow puddle not far away, only to see that in the puddle, a crystal white jade thing was blooming in the night, and several soldiers on the side suddenly looked in the direction of the soldier's finger when they heard the sound.
"It looks like a piece of jade!"
Several soldiers immediately took three steps and two steps to quickly surround them, and when they looked closer, they immediately saw something in the puddle of water, which was a jade turtle the size of a palm, with a crystal white body like a jade.
"Jade Turtle?!"
Several people were shocked, and then the soldiers who first discovered the jade turtle couldn't help but burst into a scorching light in their eyes.
"It should be worth a lot of money."
"Goodong~"
As soon as they heard this, several other people couldn't help but swallow their saliva, and their eyes couldn't help but show a hot color.
As the saying goes, scarcity is expensive, and he has seen a lot of turtles, but such a jade turtle is still the first time in his life, if it is taken out and sold, how much is it worth.
"Not good!"
The jade turtle listened to the words of a few people, especially felt the hot eyes of a few people, and his mind changed dramatically, knowing that his body had aroused the greed of several people, and he was afraid that he would be robbed, and the most important thing was that it was now losing all its mana, and its body had shrunk to the size of such a palm, if a few people were greedy for him, it would not even have room to resist.
And this jade turtle is not anything else, it is the old spirit turtle in this Dongjiangyan, it originally kept the agreement with Gu Xiuwen, and went all out to help Gu Xiuwen drain the water in the Dongjiangyan, so that his own mana was lost, and even his body was reduced to the size of a palm now.
Originally, it was also planning to retreat to Nirvana next, but after Gu Xiuwen rebuilt the Dongjiangyan Dam and impounded the water, it would be able to receive new water spirit qi and break through the limit of Nirvana's rebirth.
It's just that it never thought that now he had just assisted Gu Xiuwen to complete the discharge of the water in the entire Dongjiang Weir, but he was targeted by these soldiers.
"No, the prefect has an order, after the water is drained, no turtles in the Dongjiang weir will be arrested or harmed."
At this time, one of the several soldiers suddenly thought of Gu Xiuwen's order, and his face changed.
The other soldiers' faces also changed when they heard this, Gu Xiuwen, as the prefect, still had a certain deterrent effect on the orders given by them.
However, as the saying goes, people die for money, birds die for food, as long as the benefits are large enough, some people take risks.
"What are you afraid of, support the bold, starve the cowardly, anyway, no one else sees the brothers here, this jade turtle is definitely a rare thing, if it is sold, the brothers are afraid that they will not be able to spend it in a few lifetimes, and his prefect eats and drinks spicy food, can't the brothers be......"
Finally, after a long silence, the soldier who first noticed the jade turtle spoke again, and the other people looked at each other as if they heard this, and finally reached an agreement and nodded to each other.
"Not good!"
When the spirit turtle heard this, it quickly crackled and rushed out of the puddle with all its limbs, using the most strength of its body to escape, but it had just rushed out of the puddle.
"Poof~"
With a flash of knife light, the entire head of the spirit turtle has been cut off by the sword light, and he was killed on the spot.
It was one of several soldiers who struck.
"How did you kill it?"
"Didn't you see it running?"
"It's better to kill, it's easy to carry and hide, it's easy to be found alive, if you really want to be discovered, when the time comes, you won't be able to eat a few fatty meats, and the prefect will blame it, and you won't be able to eat it and walk around."
"The eldest brother is right, it's better to kill it, besides, such a jade turtle is rare in the world, and it is still worth it when it dies."
“.......”
A few people said quickly, and quickly wrapped up the corpse of the spirit turtle and put it away.
However, at this time, a few people didn't notice that just above the heads of several people, a huge jade turtle phantom floated in the air, staring blankly at the jade turtle corpse in their hands.
This jade turtle phantom is the soul of the dead spirit turtle, and at this time, his heart is also full of pain and grief.
It never thought that it would die like this, in the hands of a few mortals, so aggrieved.
If it fails to achieve nirvana, it will admit it, but it cannot accept such a death.
Why!
It thinks that he has done his best, especially worthy of these people, and abides by the agreement with Gu Xiuwen, he does not hesitate to exhaust his mana to help clear the flow of water from the Dongjiangyan, which is a great favor for the people of the entire Tanglin Mansion.
But these people, not only did not want to repay, but also killed it directly for their own greed.
Bite the hand that feeds one!
Full of grief and indignation filled the spirit turtle's heart, especially looking at the soldiers below who were still talking and laughing triumphantly after killing it.
Slowly, the turtle's eyes turned red.
"Since you will take revenge and not let me live, then you will all die."
Immediately, the huge soul phantom of the spirit turtle suddenly turned into a streamer and rushed into the ground, it directly burned its own soul, burst out with its last strength, and used its natural supernatural power to attract the four water veins under the Dongjiangyan ground.
It wants these people to bury themselves.
Bang~!
Above the heavenly dome, there was a sudden thunderous explosion, and at the moment when the spirit turtle directly burned its soul and rushed into the ground.
The sudden thunder also startled everyone.
Then, in everyone's sight, the originally clear night sky suddenly rolled dark clouds, surging from all directions like a tide, and the sky and the earth were also suddenly stormy, looking like a storm was coming.
"What's going on?"
"It's a different day."
"Everybody ashore!"
“......”
Someone realized that something was wrong and began to call for everyone to come ashore, but the words had only fallen for less than a few breaths.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! .....”
In the upstream direction of Dongjiangyan, suddenly there is a loud roaring sound, and even accompanied by the vibration of the entire ground, giving people the feeling that there are thousands of troops and horses rushing from the upstream.
Hearing the sound, everyone's eyes couldn't help but turn their heads to look upstream, and soon their expressions couldn't help but turn into horror.
Because from the upstream, there is a huge rolling torrent, a torrent dozens of feet high like a tsunami rushing down from the upper reaches of the Dongjiang Weir, no one knows where this torrent came from, and how could such a big flood suddenly appear.
"Run!!"
In an instant, a cry of terror rang out.
But immediately, all the sounds were gone, and all was drowned out by the torrent, leaving only the sound of the great flood breaking through everything.
"Boom!"
And all the people who were in Dongjiangyan were also buried in the torrent.
