Perhaps even the people in Chengjun City didn't know that Zhang Bai, whom they had always scolded as a ridiculous prefect, would be willing to sacrifice his life to awaken their conscience and get rid of the Baiyang Sect's bewitchment.
Jiang Gu also felt sorry for Zhang Bai's death, but Chen Daoshu and Feng Erpi did not feel sad for his death, but more admired and envied him.
When he saw these two people wanting to celebrate him, Jiang Yan even wondered if he didn't feel the same way because he was not a good person by nature.
"If you were Zhang Bai, what would you choose?" Su Kou asked.
Jiang Yan put himself in Zhang Bai's position, thought about it carefully, and then shook his head firmly.
"I am a person with a strong sense of justice. It is no problem to draw a sword to help when there is injustice. If I am asked to save the people in Juncheng, I may spare no effort, but if I am asked to sacrifice my life, that will not work. I am afraid of pain and even more afraid of death.
My grandfather told me since I was a child that you must be a good person, but not a dead person. If you can't have both, then do neither."
"No wonder others say you are greedy for money and lustful, greedy for life and afraid of death," Su Kou said with disdain.
"What about you?" Jiang Yan asked.
"I...I'm probably the same as you"
There are good people and even saints in this world. In front of such people, both Jiang Gan and Su Kou can feel ashamed, but no matter how many times they choose, the final result is the same. On the premise of ensuring their own lives
Come on, do more good deeds!
"Maybe that's why we can become friends."
The two groups of people separated after burying Zhang Bai. Chen Daoshu received the task of finding the altar in Hong Dangu. It was from their mouths that Jiang Gu was convinced that there was really a mastermind behind this great drought.
Hong Dangu was originally one of the most powerful people in Tianxin Mansion, but due to unknown reasons, he defected and joined the Baiyang Sect. In Tianxin Mansion, there was a technique of fasting and praying for rain. After Hong Dangu improved it, it became an evil spirit.
Technique, this time the purpose is to mess up Yunzhou and take advantage of it.
Jiang Yan's goal was Longmen, which was less than a hundred miles away from Chengjun City. There were no other disturbances along the way, and he arrived at his destination in just half a day.
The entire Yunzhou was desolate, and the Qing capital was not greatly affected because of the gathering of strong men, but Longmen was also not affected by the drought due to evil magic.
Jiang Yan and Su Kou stood on a high ground, looking at the vast mist not far away with sparkling waves, flowers like brocade and green grass.
Longmen is the source of three rivers in Yunzhou, and Jiang Yan has never seen such a vast water source.
After observing the terrain here, the surrounding mountains surround Longmen Water.
"This is the legendary land of Yique."
Su Kou lamented the grandeur of this place. Although there are many special places in Xuanguo, such as Xuanpu Mountain, Ziwu Valley, etc., if there were a ranking of these places, the land of Yique would definitely be at the top.
"Yique? Isn't this called Longmen?" Jiang Yan asked.
"When I was a child, I heard my father say that the water here is Yishui, the mountain here is Queshan, and the only exit between Queshan and Yishui is Longmen. Yishui comes out of Longmen and transforms into three rivers, moistening it for thousands of miles.
"Su Kou introduced.
“No wonder you come to Longmen to borrow water.”
"However, there is a myth about this Dragon Gate that has been circulated since ancient times. There is a black carp in the deep pool under the Dragon Gate. It has practiced for thousands of years and traveled upstream. After thousands of years, it finally jumped over the dragon gate and transformed into a dragon. It became the only dragon left in the Xuan Kingdom."
"Master Lu also told me that there is an old dragon with boundless power living here. If you want to borrow water, you must have the old dragon's consent."
Now that the rivers of Sanchuan have dried up, the water from the land of Yique should have been injected through Longmen, but a huge rock as big as a mountain peak blocked Longmen, so that all the water could only gather in Queshan.
Even Lu Daoxuan was extremely afraid of the old dragon in the land of Yique, so Jiang Yan naturally did not dare to force him.
"Disciples of the Wen Mansion came to Longmen to borrow water on the orders of their master Lu Daoxuan!"
Generally speaking, the disciples of the Wen family would only call him sir when they were outside, and they would give instructions, teach, learn, etc., but Jiang Yan said that the master just wanted to reveal his origin to Yishui Laolong and use Lu Daoxuan's name to bluff him.
"Disciples of the Wen Mansion came to Longmen to borrow water on the orders of their master Lu Daoxuan!"
But Jiang Yan called out several times in succession, but his voice was drowned by the roar of the water, and he did not receive any response.
"Forget it, if we delay for one more second, the situation in Yunzhou will become even more difficult to deal with."
Of course, if there is an emergency outside, Jiang Yan cannot wait here forever. Since the old dragon remains silent, he can only take risks.
When Jiangsu Kou came to Longmen, the size of this boulder was not much larger than that of the surrounding mountains, and it just blocked the gap.
"Zhu Yan..."
Jiang Yan summoned Zhu Yan, the most powerful of all his painting spirits. After Zhu Yan appeared, he began to attack the boulder crazily.
This boulder was much harder than ordinary rocks, but it still swayed under Zhu Yan's punch after punch.
"It works," Zuko said excitedly.
Zhu Yan's terrifying power was their biggest reliance. Just when Jiang Yan thought he could open a gap, Su Kou tugged on his sleeve.
"Where are you looking?"
Jiang Yan looked up and saw a large group of unknown strange birds in the clouds coming quickly. These strange birds with white wings, red heads and bodies several feet long were extremely fast.
"Their target shouldn't be us."
Just as Su Kou finished speaking, these white-winged and red-headed strange birds swooped down, targeting the two of them.
"crow's mouth"
Jiang Yan cursed in a low voice. Zhu Yan's character was responsible for opening a gap in the Dragon Gate, allowing Yishui to flow back into Sanchuan, so it could not be stopped.
Not only are the number of this group of strange birds staggering, there are nearly a hundred of them, but most of them have the cultivation level of the Spiritual Realm.
"Su Kou, leave these strange birds to me. You are responsible for protecting Zhu Yan from being disturbed," Jiang Yan shouted.
"rest assured"
Su Kou also knew the importance. After the spiritual power and poison powder were fused, various poison spirits appeared on the Longmen boulder.
And Jiang Gu took out a scroll, which was exactly the hunting picture he had painted on the top of the snowy peak of Mount Song.
This hunting picture is full of inspiration. Crested eagles flew out of the painting one after another. There were nearly thirty of them, and they collided head-on with a group of strange birds.
Crested eagles are snowy mountain raptors, with sharp claws and sharp beaks that are extremely powerful in attack. These strange birds are incredibly fast but their overall strength is at a disadvantage. In just one confrontation, several were seriously injured and fell into the sea.
Su Kou watched from the sidelines. In the eyes of others, Jiang Yan, whose "qi sea was destroyed", was equivalent to a useless person, was showing off his power.
If there were any painters or scribes here, their jaws would definitely drop.
If a person with a level of cultivation in the spirit realm wants to control multiple spirits in one painting, he can only control three or four painting spirits at most. However, Jiang Yan is currently controlling thirty painting spirits, which is simply unheard of. His spiritual power is staggering.
