Chapter Fifty-Nine: The First Fight River God
At the moment when the lit talisman on the peachwood sword burned out, a dark cloud happened to completely cover the seemingly lifeless sun in the sky. [Ran^Text^Library] The middle-aged Taoist in the center of the altar immediately stopped the spell in his mouth and put the peachwood sword in his hand back on the table. Then, with his right hand, he picked up a command flag from the table and waved it vigorously in the air, while shouting: "Wind, rain, thunder and lightning are all at my command." The wind rises!" As soon as the words fell, a gust of wind immediately blew in the sky, and in an instant, it stirred up layers of huge waves on the calm and mirror-like lake.
As soon as he gave the order, a strong wind was already blowing in the sky, how could this not make the middle-aged Taoist in the center of the altar who gave the order proud.
Seeing that the wind was already blowing around him, the middle-aged Taoist proudly put the order flag in his hand back on the table. Then, he picked up a token from the table and slowly lifted it above his head. Just as the middle-aged Daoist continued to raise the token in his hand, the dark clouds in the sky that shaded the sun slowly spread in the sky with the middle-aged Daoist's action, like a drop of rich ink seeping into the clear water, and in a short time, a large area of turquoise blue sky above the altar had been dyed a pale ink. When the middle-aged Dao Master in the center of the altar raised the token in his hand to the highest point above his head, he shouted to the sky again: "Lightning!" As soon as the words came out, the light inky sky faintly began to flash one after another, like a slender white dragon constantly shuttling through the dark clouds, knocking the entire dark cloud in the sky into pieces and mutilated.
These changes in the sky seemed to be under the control of the middle-aged Taoist in the center of the altar, which frightened the onlookers to kneel down and kowtow, and kept chanting: "The gods have appeared." ”
Soon, only Yu Fei'er and Wen Yiyang were still standing in the entire crowd of onlookers. For Yu Fei'er and Wen Yiyang, it is not a big deal to call for wind and rain, only what happens to those two children next is worthy of their own attention. Therefore, the attention of the two was always focused on the two bamboo baskets on the surface of the lake, and they never left for a moment.
Seeing that the onlookers all knelt down, the expression on the face of the middle-aged Taoist chief became even more proud. When he put the token back on the table, he picked up the bell made of copper from the table, and shook it in his hand as he began to chant the incantation again. After reciting the incantation in his mouth, the middle-aged Taoist shook the bell in his hand violently, and at the same time shouted in his mouth: "Thunder!" As soon as his voice fell, a thunderclap immediately sounded in the sky, and the people who were kneeling on the ground trembled, and they no longer dared to look up, but kept kowtowing to themselves.
After three thunderstorms in the sky, the middle-aged Taoist chief put the bell in his hand back on the table, and then he waved his hands and said loudly to the sky: "The wind and rain are smooth, for all of us, open the altar to worship, show sincerity, and select tributes to thank God." Before the words were completely finished, the wind was already raging around the worship site, blowing so that the people who were kneeling on the ground could still open their eyes and raised their hands to protect their eyes.
The lake in the distance is already rough at the moment, and the waves are crashing on the shore. The two bamboo baskets hanging on the surface of the lake appear and disappear in the waves, and it seems that they may be overturned by the waves on the water at any time.
The sudden gust of wind around the worship site seemed to be intended to make the onlookers unable to open their eyes, but this gust of wind could not affect Yu Fei'er and Wen Yiyang. Seeing that the two bamboo baskets hanging on the surface of the lake were about to be overturned by the huge waves constantly rising on the lake, the two guessed that the river god must be ready to do it. So, the two decided to strike first and save the two children before the river god.
"Brother Yiyang, you quickly cast a fire spell to burn the ropes on those two bamboo baskets, and I will cast an earth spell to catch them. At the same time as she said this, Yu Fei'er had already rushed out towards the lake.
After Wen Yiyang made his own response, he immediately rushed out with Yu Fei'er. While running, Wen Yiyang did not forget to take out a blank rune paper and draw a spell. When he came to the shore of the lake, Wen Yiyang immediately cast his fire spell.
At this time, Yu Fei'er had also rushed to the shore of the lake to cast his spell. Under the effect of the Earth Protector spell, two stones quickly jumped out of the shore of the lake, and then flew quickly towards the bottom of the two bamboo baskets on the surface of the lake.
The cooperation between the two was quite tacit, and at the moment when Wen Yiyang's fireball burned the rope on the bamboo basket, the two stones under Yu Fei'er's control had also come to the bottom of the bamboo basket. It seemed that it was only a matter of time before the two children in the basket were rescued, and the two immediately laughed heartily.
As long as Wen Yiyang's fireball burns the rope on the bamboo basket, the two stones below will catch the two bamboo baskets, and then Yu Fei'er can use his spell to retract the two stones along with the bamboo basket on top. Yu Fei'er's idea seemed to be leaky, but the story didn't develop as he thought. Seeing that the two bamboo baskets were about to fall on the two stones below them, two thin rope-like arms suddenly appeared under the water, grabbed the two falling bamboo baskets, and then quickly dragged the two bamboo baskets under the water.
"Oh no! there's something going on underwater. Brother Yiyang, let's quickly cast a spell to save those two children. Things developed too suddenly, Yu Fei'er reminded Wen Yiyang while quickly forming a finger with his hands, and his luck became more concentrated. After Yu Fei'er concentrated all the mana in his hands, he quickly transformed the Dao fingers in his hands into palms that were close to the surface of the lake, and then performed his Five Elements Mutual Birth Technique. As Yu Fei'er smashed all the five elements qi gathered in his palm into the surface of the lake, he immediately shouted: "Look at my water resistance technique." As soon as the words fell, the entire lake was immediately pulled out by a powerful force and a long crack was forced. Under the continuous action of the water resistance spell, the crack on the surface of the lake was pulled wider and wider, and finally the bottom of the lake leaked out.
Yu Fei'er didn't expect that those two arms as thin as ropes would go straight to the bottom of the lake, and under the ground, there was no trace of what the owner of these arms was. In order to let the owner of these arms appear, Yu Fei'er immediately said her suggestion to Wen Yiyang: "Brother Yiyang, while the bottom of the lake has been opened now, you can quickly cast a fire spell to attack the piece of dirt on the ground at the bottom of the lake that sticks out your arm, and see what kind of monster is hidden under the soil?"
Wen Yiyang responded to Yu Fei'er at the same time, and quickly cast a spell to gather the two fireballs that had been shot earlier, and finally turned into a more powerful fireball, and then he controlled the big fireball to smash down on the piece of dirt below the bottom of the lake with his arm outstretched.
Sure enough, there was a monster hiding under the dirt. When Wen Yiyang's fireball hit the dirt on the ground at the bottom of the lake, the monster under the dirt immediately threw out the two bamboo baskets containing children in his hands, and quickly retracted his hands back into the dirt. Then, he kicked up a splash of dirt on the bottom of the lake, and quickly escaped from the leaking lake floor.
Seeing that the monster under the dirt threw the bamboo basket in his hand, Yu Fei'er hurriedly controlled the two stones before to catch the two bamboo baskets that were about to fall into the water, and then he controlled the two stones and slowly returned to the shore of the lake.
As soon as the two bamboo baskets containing the children returned to the shore of the lake, Yu Fei'er and Wen Yiyang immediately stepped forward and took out the pair of boys and girls in the bamboo baskets, and then the two of them carried the pair of boys and girls to find their families in the crowd of onlookers. After the two young women with red eyes from crying took their children from Yu Fei'er and the two of them, the families of the two children all knelt down and kowtowed to Yu Fei'er and the two of them to thank them.
Seeing that Yu Fei'er and Wen Yiyang actually rescued the two children hanging in the bamboo basket on the lake, the people around stood up one after another, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what happened just now?
Just when the onlookers began to whisper and discuss, the Suzhou prefect officials standing outside the crowd quickly came to Yu Fei'er and Wen Yiyang, and reprimanded the two loudly: "Where did the two little Taoist priests come from? Go, come with us to meet the immortals, and see what the immortals do with you. After saying that, the officials escorted Yu Fei'er and the two of them to the center of the altar.
The middle-aged Daoist standing in the center of the altar saw what had happened before, and knew in his heart that the skills of these two little Daoists were extraordinary. Therefore, before he could wait for the Suzhou prefect officials to open their mouths, he had already taken the lead in asking Yu Fei'er and Wen Yiyang: "The two of you are friendly with the little way! I don't know where the two little dao friends are cultivating now? Why do you want to interrupt the poor way of doing so?"
"I am a disciple of the Zhengyi Sect of Longhu Mountain, and this Taoist brother of mine is from Putuo Mountain. You ask the two of us why we are interrupting you? Xiao Dao has to ask you first, what kind of spell you are doing, what kind of immortal you worship?, why do you have to have a pair of boys and girls as a tribute?" Wen Yiyang asked sharply.
In order to express the gratitude of the people of Suzhou City to the river god, a pair of boys and girls were sacrificed to the river god. ”
"What kind of god would do such a hurtful thing? What river god? I think he's clearly a monster, and you're a demon who aids and abets abuse. Aren't you able to call the wind and rain? Okay! Then let me test how good you are. As soon as Wen Yiyang's voice fell, he immediately threw his hand and shot a fireball at the middle-aged Taoist in the center of the altar.
Seeing that the fireball that Wen Yiyang shot was about to hit him, the middle-aged Taoist leader hurriedly squatted down and hid under the table. Wen Yiyang's fireball burst into the air and hit the table in the center of the altar directly, instantly igniting the table, and then the fire on the table had already ignited the altar as well. The middle-aged Taoist who was hiding under the table hurriedly crawled out from under the table and staggered out from the fire with the young Taoist priests in the altar. Several of the young Taoist priests ran a little slower, which caused most of their hair and eyebrows to be burned.
Seeing the embarrassed appearance of the Taoist priests who escaped from the altar, Wen Yiyang laughed, and the ordinary people who were watching also secretly applauded in their hearts. But Yu Fei'er was not happy at all, and said to Wen Yiyang with a twisted eyebrow: "Brother Dao, you still can't change your impulsive problem, this time it's a big trouble." ”
Wen Yiyang just wanted to reply to Yu Fei'er: "I won't be afraid of any trouble." But before he could say this, he heard the middle-aged Taoist who ran out of the fire shouting: "You two little Taoist priests who don't know the height of the sky and the earth, dare to make such a mistake, the river god will never let you two go." Before he could finish his sentence, two tornadoes suddenly appeared on the lake in the distance. As the two tornadoes rolled up two high columns of water on the surface of the lake, the two columns of water immediately rushed towards the crowd of onlookers on the shore.
Seeing that the two pillars of water rolled up on the surface of the lake were rushing towards this place of worship on the shore of the lake, the onlookers on the embankment fled in all directions. But how can these onlookers escape faster than those two waterspouts. I saw that everywhere the two waterspouts went, people turned on their backs, and the crying stopped. When those who had been swept to the ground by the waterspout got up, they immediately fell to their knees on the ground again, kowtowing and chanting, "The river god is angry, the river god is angry." ”
After some rage, the two waterspouts eventually collided in the center of the worship site and disappeared, and the huge splash they produced after their impact also extinguished the fire burning on the altar.
After the raging fire on the altar was extinguished by the splash produced by the collision of two waterspouts, the middle-aged Taoist master immediately walked up to the altar again, and proudly said to the people who kept kowtowing: "You have also seen how terrible the consequences of the river god's wrath are. Those two waterspouts just now are just a small punishment given to you by the river god, if you let these two little Taoist priests make trouble, then don't blame the river god for not giving you a chance. What are you officials still doing in a daze? Why don't you hurry up and take down those two troublesome little Taoist priests for me and hand them over to the prefect of Suzhou to deal with. As for this worship of the river god, I think it can only be held on a later date. ”
Although the Suzhou prefect officials standing on the edge of the crowd were not scratched by the two waterspouts just now, they also looked frightened, and they were stunned in place. When they heard this reminder from the middle-aged Taoist, they came back to their senses, and hurriedly tied up Yu Fei'er and Wen Yiyang, and then escorted Yu Fei'er and Wen Yiyang to the Suzhou Prefect's Yamen with the middle-aged Taoist and his disciples.
The onlookers who were kneeling on the ground did not dare to make a sound at the moment, for fear that they would anger the river god again.
So, after Yu Feier and Wen Yiyang were taken to the Suzhou Prefect's Yamen, will they have a prison sentence?
