Chapter 34: Eat some lightning at the bottom
For Li Xuan, saving people is like a little ripple in the river, leaving no trace. He continued along the Mudan River, strolling into the distance.
When he walked out of Mudan City, both sides of the Mudan River gradually became wilderness, and there were basically no people in sight in front of him.
The weather was originally sunny and windy, but suddenly large dark clouds poured out from the sky. Boom, dark clouds mixed with lightning roared across the sky. The weather in the middle of summer is like this, it can change, and a storm is coming.
In an instant, the heavens and the earth were eclipsed. The heavy rain poured down, falling rapidly from the sky, constantly hitting Li Xuan's shoulders, falling on the sheep intestine path by the river, falling in the winding ditch by the river, falling on the barren grass at his feet, and falling on every corner where the rain could reach, making a crackling sound.
This heavy rain came so suddenly and fiercely, as if it broke out in silence, neither as gentle as the spring rain, nor lingering as the autumn rain, but with its rough and heroic wildness.
The raindrops the size of beans rushed to the ground from the low clouds like loose horses, as if they were looking for something, and they slammed into each other from the east and west, and like a huge waterfall falling from nine heavens away, striking everything in the world, as if it were about to swallow it all.
Li Xuan just let the raindrops the size of beans fall on his body, and still silently walked forward against the storm, listening to the sound of the rain and feeling the passion of the rain.
And with this rain, it is the dust that has been drifting for thousands of years, the mood that has wandered for 10,000 years, and the impetuous heart of Li Xuan in the past.
This long-lost heavy rain squandered the strength it had accumulated for a long time in the summer. The rain became heavier and heavier, and then mixed with thunder and lightning, and the raindrops seemed to turn into columns of water, raining smoke and dust, whistling and rushing, unstoppable. Especially the thunder kept roaring, and the lightning was like a big sword that wanted to tear the sky apart.
Suddenly, the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda spontaneously flew out from Li Xuan's upper dantian, suspended above his head, and emitted hundreds of millions of millimeters of light. The rain in the sky seemed to have found a home, and they all converged on the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda of Heaven and Earth, and there was no trace of rain falling on Li Xuan's head.
The lightning in the sky is also converging towards the pagoda, and the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda of Heaven and Earth is like a lightning rod hanging above Li Xuan's head, specifically attracting lightning. And as soon as the furious lightning approached the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda of Heaven and Earth, it turned into a gentle kitten, crawling slowly along the pagoda.
And with the continuous convergence of lightning, the pagoda also shines brightly, and the billions of millimeters of light emitted are even brighter. It's in the middle of a rainstorm, and it's in the middle of nowhere. Otherwise, I don't know how many onlookers will be attracted.
It turns out that the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda of Heaven and Earth is born from the intersection of the merits of opening the heavens and the Xuanhuang Qi outside the heavens when the heavens and the earth are opened, and they like the great power of heaven and earth the most. If it was before the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda was not damaged, this little lightning would not be enough for the pagoda to plug the teeth. Now the pagoda has not fully recovered, and it can only eat some lightning to cushion the bottom.
Li Xuan saw the pagoda swallowing rain and lightning, stopped and watched for a while, and then continued to walk forward. The pagoda was suspended above Li Xuan's head, like an extra-large umbrella, following Li Xuan.
This storm comes quickly, but it doesn't go quickly. Although the wind gradually became lighter, the rain did not slow down, and it continued to fall.
It is "a night of rain in the mountains, and a hundred springs in the branches". The rain flowed and spread in the empty wilderness, like countless small streams, rushing towards the river. And the river water also keeps rising and rising with the rain falling.
Li Xuan walked by the river, listening to the sound of the rain, listening to the whimpering and roaring of the river, and feeling the vicissitudes of the sea for thousands of years. Li Xuan kept moving forward in the wind and rain, and unconsciously came to the confluence of the Mudan River and the Songjiang River.
Here, the water is even more violent, and the two rivers meet, stirring up countless whirlpools and waves, like two giants fighting each other. And the result of the confrontation is that they are undefeated and undefeated, and finally merge together to form a huge torrent that rushes downstream, destroying everything that stands in their way.
Stopping at the confluence of the two rivers, Li Xuan realized the ferocity and ruthlessness of the water, and there was no longer the usual gentleness. Water is fickle, but it is suitable for change, and only righteousness lies! As long as it is in line with morality and as long as it is in line with the nature and people, there will be change.
On the surface, the water is so docile, tranquil, and indisputable, but on the inside there is a tenacity that can bypass all obstacles, move forward bravely, unstoppable, and go straight into the arms of the mother sea.
Li Xuan remembered that the ancients said: "The wise man enjoys water." "Why do wise people like water so much? What do they like about water? That is, water is fickle.
"Flexible, fun time". Fickleness is a kind of wisdom, which changes with the times, and if you are poor, you will change, and if you change, you will be able to do it for a long time. Just as a person's career wants to last for a long time, it must adapt to change and change with the times. "Achievements see change", if you don't know how to adapt, you can only stick to poverty, and change can bring success to your career.
However, the fickleness of water can bring disaster to people. When Li Xuan continued to walk downstream, he saw that the river had gradually overflowed the riverbed, and the rain had no intention of stopping.
Although the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda sucked the rain above his head. However, the rain was so heavy that it almost covered the Mudan and Songjiang basins, and all the water from the big rivers and small streams converged into these two rivers. When the two rivers met, the flood finally broke out and became out of control.
When Li Xuan walked a few miles downstream, he saw that there were already houses washed away by the river, and some firewood, grass and livestock corpses washed down from the upstream began to float in the river.
At this time, Li Xuan no longer cared about shocking the world, sacrificed the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda of Heaven and Earth, and began to swallow the raging river with all his might. Now, the water absorption function of the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda has been greatly improved, and it has become a lot larger in the air, and the flood in the Songjiang River quickly converges to the pagoda, forming the wonder of "dragon absorbing water".
In the area covered by the pagoda, the water surface of the Matsue River is falling rapidly, and although it has not bottomed out, there is basically not much water flowing downstream after the river water from the upper reaches of the river rushes in. From the time when the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda absorbed water, the water level downstream basically stopped rising, and began to show a downward trend.
Dozens of miles downstream, there is a county seat called Lan County. In the past few days, the military and civilians of the county have been mobilized to fight the flood and rescue people, and many people have been fighting on the river embankment for two days and two nights, and the sandbags have been used up for many days.
However, these people did not dare to relax in the slightest. According to the report of the water conservancy department at a higher level, this is a once-in-a-century flood. It is said that the last time there was such a big flood, the entire county was flooded, and hundreds of people died. Now, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, these people will do everything in their power to save their homes behind them.
However, the increasing floods have caused many people to despair. Because, the freshly piled sandbags have begun to seep water, and the water is still rising. The people guarding the embankment could only mechanically stack sandbags up and down.
When he was thirsty, he looked up to the sky and drank a sip of rainwater. When you're hungry, take a few bites of dry food that has been soaked soft. I just want to be able to stack an extra layer of sandbags to stop the flood for even one more minute, and let the relatives behind me be more prepared and evacuate to safety as soon as possible.
