Chapter 54 The Flood
Thunder rolls and waves surge, the Milky Way releases its waves and the lonely city dims its lights.
The heavy rain still continued, and the promised rain turned into a savage beast that wreaked havoc on the earth. Now Emperor Tang didn't have to worry about the rebellion of the people. A flood would definitely kill most of the refugees who couldn't survive in the first place. If the rain stops and the sun comes up, there will be another exposure.
I'm afraid that the plague will sweep through the disaster area, and how many people will be left after a few struggles.
The living refugees stood on the low city wall of the county seat and looked at the rolling river and sobbed, the water and fire were merciless.
In the half-burned and incomplete city gate tower, a group of Chunyang Palace people and snakes looked at the flood and were speechless.
Bai Yujun knows more than others.
The flood peak in the upper reaches has not yet arrived. When the flood peak reaches the county town, it will be difficult to protect it. The banks of the river are all covered with high mountains. Only the county town is a tidal flat basin, which is like a natural flood discharge channel. In the past, it was considered a geomantic treasure land, but when the flood came, it was difficult to escape.
Tribulation.
Heavy rains in the upper reaches gathered floods. The high mountains on both sides of the river restrained the floods, but at the same time left a gap in the county.
Run? Where can so many half-dead refugees with old and young children escape? It rains heavily everywhere and mountains are more prone to landslides. If you stay in the city, you still have a place to take shelter from the rain. The reality is always cruel.
Yu Baotou, the county official, ran into the city gate tower wearing a raincoat.
"Chief Immortal...save us...the water is getting bigger and bigger and is about to overflow the dam. There are more than 10,000 people outside..."
Yu Baotou begged Senior Sister Wei, in his eyes, the people of Chunyang Palace were like land gods, there was nothing they could not do.
Senior Sister Wei sighed.
"It's difficult, I'll try my best."
"Thank you, Immortal, for saving your life!"
Yu Baotou thanked him profusely, then turned around and rushed back into the rain to organize flood control and shelter. In such a large county, only the imperial court, an unscrupulous catcher, was still running around in the rain. There were no so-called talents in the past who opened their mouths to educate the people.
Senior Sister Wei frowned. Monks are not gods, and they cannot move mountains and fill seas. The legend of holding a gourd in hand and sucking up all the water in the river is purely a storyteller's fiction.
When the power of kung fu is limited, not every monk can master all kung fu and be good at doing everything.
He is good at refining elixirs, can forge the best magic weapons, is proficient in all kinds of magic of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, thunder and lightning, and is also a master of formations. This kind of person is either in the fairy world or has a low level of cultivation. He can multi-purpose and finally rise to the top, which is rare in the ages.
Most monks know all the five element spells, but apart from those they specialize in, most of them know a little bit about it. For example, those who specialize in water spiritual power can also tinker with fire spells, but they are more elementary.
To put it bluntly, Senior Sister Wei's cultivation in the golden elixir stage was able to cut off the river with one sword, but it was useless to cut off the water with a sword and make the water flow again.
Using certain special moves can indeed block Hongfeng.
The problem is that she cannot continue to block it all the time. Mortals look up to the power of heaven and earth. It can block it for a while, but it cannot block it all. Sooner or later, the flood peak will rush to the county.
"Look! The flood is coming!"
Exclamations came from the city wall. Looking up, the water in the direction of the river had already overflowed the dam...
The turbulent and cold river water rushed towards the county seat carrying debris floating down from the upper reaches...
Without saying a word, Senior Sister Wei pulled out her sword and lightly kicked on the city wall with her toes, flying up into the sky. The protective aura blocked the rain, and her white blue-patterned robes swayed in the wind. The people on the city wall were stunned and shouted that the gods were coming to earth.
Two consecutive sword energy hit the water, causing waves several feet high, and the turbulent water slowed down.
Then Senior Sister Wei started to perform sword moves. A dozen thick shields composed of spiritual energy hit the river water and set off huge waves. The water slowed down slightly and pushed most of the flood towards the river!
The strength subsided and the floods returned.
Several more sword energy flew towards the river and exploded, causing splashes of more than ten meters high. The flood receded and then returned again.
The place that was originally a refugee shack has now become a battlefield. Senior Sister Wei fights against the flood alone, but no matter how hard she stops, the flood always overflows and submerges the shack. Miscellaneous things float in the water, and corpses that were buried too shallow float to the surface. Human beings
The excrement is floating in the air, as well as the floating objects washed down from the upper reaches, and the turbid floods carry these things along.
"Should we go over and help?" Xu Ling asked.
Yang Mu shook his head.
"My cultivation level is too low to help. Do you want to swim over?"
Xu Ling looked at the bubbling flood water below and felt that going into the water was not a good thing, but it felt really bad that she couldn't help.
Time passes minute by minute...
Senior Sister Wei is still resisting the flood peak, and the water level spreading over is getting higher and higher.
Suddenly, Bai Yujun's infrared sensor detected that Senior Sister Wei's body temperature had dropped slightly, which meant that she could no longer maintain the protective spiritual energy and rain on her body, and her spiritual energy was consumed too quickly by performing the technique for a long time.
Gradually, more and more floods came.
Senior Sister Wei in the air looked at the flood below and the endless water upstream. She sighed helplessly and returned to the city wall. Without the obstruction, the water became even more turbulent.
Xu Ling quickly brought a towel to help Senior Sister Wei wipe the rain from her face.
"I can't stop it."
Senior Sister Wei's face turned pale as she looked at the flood. She was deeply tired from the long hours of consumption. Her manpower was sometimes scarce, and that was right now.
Bai Yujun looked at the heavy rain and the endless floods as if he had something in his heart. The water hit the city wall and stirred up high waves. The water splashed on his face with a cool feeling.
For some reason, Bai Yujun instinctively felt that he could control water.
It was a very strange feeling, a bit like a genetically inherited ability such as hunting. It seemed that one was born with it but was not very proficient. Rain and floods made the whole body feel particularly comfortable. The direction of evolution seemed a bit skewed...
It's over, it looks less and less like a snake.
"I...I want to give it a try." Bai Yujun said weakly.
"You want to go?"
Senior Sister Wei looked at Bai Yujun in confusion.
"Um."
"It's okay. Don't force anything. If you can't do anything, come back. Anyway, with your ability, you won't drown." Senior Sister Wei nodded. She had never heard of snakes being drowned in water.
Bai Yujun took off the heavy ruler and horizontal knife hanging from his waist, and took a deep breath while looking at the flood of water and sky.
He jumped up on the wall and jumped a long distance with one strong kick. The moment he landed in the water, he stepped on the driftwood again and lifted into the air. He stepped on various floating objects all the way up the water and rushed towards the river where the flood came!
It's impossible to move forward without jumping. The water under the city wall is too deep. Swimming in it is the greatest torture for snakes.
The people on the wall stared blankly at the petite white figure rushing out...
He jumped up high with his toes on a piece of driftwood, and then his body transformed into a huge white snake and fell into the water in the blink of an eye! The snake raised its head high, opened its mouth, popped out two sharp fangs, and screamed at the river!
"Hiss~!"
People on the city wall in the distance saw a huge white figure rolling up in the flood! The huge body raised its head high from time to time and then plunged into the water!
It was also very strange, Bai Yujun discovered that he could move the water flow to exert his water-bending ability.
He immediately chose to relax his soul and let his instinct drive him to control the surging river.
People who have experienced floods know very well that floods are actually very cold. When the cold flood water combines with the warm air, it will cause water mist to rise on the water surface. It is more appropriate to call it cool air or water vapor. The huge white figure is looming in the thick fog.
, causing rising water from time to time...
As time goes by, Bai Yujun has begun to mobilize part of the floodwater to resist the flood peak, trying to fight fire with fire.
On the city wall, the people who witnessed all this knelt down and kowtowed one after another despite the heavy rain. In their opinion, it was the legendary dragon that turned the rivers and seas upside down...
"Shenlong..."
