Chapter 450: White Clothes Town Floods, Turtle Mountain Locks Green Ape
The once prosperous Chang'an City has now been submerged by the flood. Because the flood happened at night, many people who were still asleep were directly washed away by the flood and then became prey to the water ghosts.
There were some lucky ones who climbed up to the top of tall buildings and escaped the disaster temporarily, but looking at the strange shadows looming under the water, they could not help but tremble and pray for the protection of gods and Buddhas.
Some people were riding on wooden barrels or bed boards, floating on the water, swaying from side to side, like an untied boat that could capsize at any time.
A similar scene also occurred in Longyou County. At that time, a dragon escaped and used its magical power to summon wind and rain to bring heavy rain, flooding the entire county.
The flood that Chang'an encountered this time was more serious than the one in Longyou County. Not only was there heavy rain, but the eight rivers of Chang'an also burst their dikes, turning this vast and magnificent city into a living hell in an instant.
In this disaster that affected the entire Chang'an, there was one place that remained peaceful, and that was the temple of the Green-Robed Goddess.
This temple was built not long ago, and it experienced a surge in popularity after the Fengshan ceremony.
Today, this temple glows with the brilliance of colored glass. No matter how turbulent the surrounding floods are, once they come within a hundred feet of the temple, they will circle around it, and the water corpses in it will retreat as far as they can.
Therefore, some lucky people successfully hid in the Qingyi Temple and escaped the disaster. They knelt at the feet of the statue, kowtowed devoutly, and prayed to the Qingyi Goddess to appear and protect Chang'an.
Inside the temple, it was peaceful and calm as everyone prayed.
Outside the temple, there was a raging flood and it was hell on earth.
At this moment, someone suddenly discovered that the statue of the Green-Robed Lady actually shed a tear, as if she was sympathizing with the plight of the people of Chang'an.
"The Queen has appeared!"
"My Lady of the Nine Heavens, please have mercy on me and save my child!"
" I am willing to sacrifice my life for the well-being of my family..."
At this moment, the temple was filled with devout prayers, every voice was sad and every word was written with tears of blood.
…
Qingming Realm, Mount Yamfu.
The lady in green sat upright on the lotus platform, slowly opened her eyes, slightly frowned, and showed a look of compassion.
Through the statue, she has seen the disaster in Chang'an, but unfortunately, she cannot intervene directly. The most she can do is to protect the people around the temple.
Because this disaster was destined for the Tang Dynasty.
Having cultivated to her level, she could already glimpse the changes in the way of heaven. As early as several months ago, she had predicted that there would be a great catastrophe when she arrived in Chang'an, and that it would be related to water.
Li Shimin wanted to establish the Zhoutian Star Array to change the fortune of the Tang Dynasty and steal the power of heaven for his own use. Therefore, the way of heaven was moved and sent down a great disaster.
In addition, Li Shimin, although the emperor, killed his brother and imprisoned his father, and lacked the virtue of water, which was also his fate.
If they can get through it, it will be a phoenix nirvana for Li Shimin and the Tang Dynasty. From then on, the Tang Dynasty's destiny will be completely renewed.
If you can’t get through, you will be doomed and fall into the abyss.
The eyes of the lady in green were filled with ripples. Across the world of yin and yang, she seemed to see the handsome Taoist priest in white again. The key to surviving the disaster this time lies in Li Daoxuan.
Of course, as the protector of the Tang Dynasty, she did not do nothing. She had already made her plans several months ago.
With a thought, the clouds around the Lady in Green gathered together, forming a shimmering mirror, shining on the bottom of the Xiangjiang River in Yongzhou, Tang Dynasty.
In a certain underwater fairy palace shrouded in rays of light, there sat a flawless goddess in a plain long skirt with fluttering black hair. Her eyebrows and eyes were as cold as a painting, her nose was high, and her skin was as white as ice and snow. She radiated endless water power and flowed with the brilliance of beautiful jade.
The Seal of the Xiaoxiang Water God was suspended above her head, combing the water veins of Yongzhou and absorbing the rich water power.
There is a ninth-grade red lotus mark between her eyebrows, which makes her look even more sacred, bright and glorious.
As she became more successful in her practice and completely mastered the Xiaoxiang water veins, she became the new Xiaoxiang Goddess. The entire Xiangjiang River was filled with blooming lotus flowers and a distant fragrance.
It was fate that tortured Chen Ziyu when she was young. Because she was beautiful, her jealous stepmother pushed her into a water tank and tortured her. Even after she turned into a ghost, she was still afraid of water.
Once, when Li Daoxuan was practicing his water-walking ability, he pretended to fall into the water. She jumped into the water to save him, but she sank herself and was at a loss as to what to do.
But she didn't expect that after she cultivated the Lotus Dharma Body, she would hold the divine seal and become the new Xiaoxiang Water God.
An unknown amount of time had passed before Chen Ziyu's eyelashes trembled slightly. She slowly opened her eyes, and a hint of anticipation appeared in her glass-colored pupils.
The voice of Lady in Green rang in her ears.
"The time has come, hurry to Chang'an."
Chen Ziyu's eyes were rippling, and her three thousand black hair fluttered in the water like silk. The originally calm Xiaoxiang River suddenly became turbulent, disturbing the sweet dreams of countless fish and shrimps.
…
Chang'an City.
Li Shimin, armed with sharp weapons and with a resolute gaze, led the bad guys in a lone boat deep into the water, shooting the water corpses under the water with bows and crossbows imbued with dragon energy.
For a moment, the fishy blood of the water corpse ghost floated on the water surface, like a layer of blue-red grease.
A large number of water corpse ghosts gathered, watching with eager eyes, but facing Li Shimin who was protected by dragon energy, they did not dare to attack at all and could only swim around the boat.
Once they get close to Li Shimin, they will become soft and powerless, turning from ferocious beasts in the water into sheep that can be slaughtered at will.
And with the bad guys like Li Shimin, they are naturally invincible.
Unfortunately, not everyone can hunt these water zombies, and more people become food in the mouths of water zombies.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Li Shimin had no idea how many times he had bent his bow and shot arrows. He changed his quiver again and again. Those demon-subduing arrows that had been modified by Li Chunfeng himself were made of black iron and engraved with formations for storing dragon energy. They were extremely expensive, but now he shot them into the water as if they were free.
Li Shimin's archery skills were very superb, and he was ranked among the best in the chaotic late Sui Dynasty when many heroes emerged.
Yuchi Gong once commented on Li Shimin's archery skills, saying that the King of Qin holds a bow and I hold a spear, and if they work together, no one in the world can get close to me.
With Li Shimin's superb archery skills, the water corpse ghosts were shot to death , saving many people who were on the verge of death.
But the sweat on his forehead was getting more and more, and his arms were becoming more and more numb.
Li Shimin looked up at the people in the distance who were either being eaten by water ghosts or drowned in the water. He listened to the crying of children and the calls for help from the elderly, and his heart felt like it was bleeding.
Chang'an was his pride. Since he ascended the throne, what made him most gratified was that Chang'an had achieved its current prosperity and that the people of Chang'an had gradually led a stable life. But today, all of it was destroyed.
"General, please save us!"
"The bad guys are coming!"
A mother was about to be drowned, but she held her child high up and pleaded with Li Shimin, "General, please save my child!"
…
Li Shimin had never felt so powerless as he did today. He suddenly realized that human power seemed so small and fragile in the face of the mighty power of heaven, earth and nature.
Is there really no solution?
At this moment, a shadow fell from the clouds, and as it fell, it grew larger and larger, until it even covered the sky and the sun.
It was a huge gourd that fell from the sky, as high as a mountain. It seemed to have spirituality, avoiding the people of Chang'an and smashing heavily into the flood full of water corpses and ghosts.
Boom!
The water surface shook violently, and countless water corpses were smashed into pieces.
The next moment, the mouth of the gourd opened and burst out with infinite suction force, like a giant whale sucking water, rolling up streams of water and swallowing them into the gourd.
For a moment, the surging flood in Chang'an came to a halt, and the water level not only stopped rising, but began to gradually drop.
The huge gourd was like a bottomless pit. It not only rolled up the flood and water zombies, but also swept in the heavy rain that had not yet landed.
The scene was so shocking that Li Shimin was stunned.
Soon he discovered that the gourd looked very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before...
"This... this looks like the gourd that the Imperial Master uses to drink?"
"Hiss, now that you put it that way, it really does look like it!"
The bad guys started talking excitedly.
After their reminder, Li Shimin finally remembered that this was clearly the wine gourd that Taichong hung around his waist all day long. It looked ordinary and even a little shabby.
I remember one time, Li Shimin wanted to reward Taichong with a treasure gourd made of gold and jade, but Taichong politely declined, saying that the gourd around his waist was not gorgeous but practical.
Thinking of this, Li Shimin laughed and said, "You are so good, Taichong, you are clearly making me look bad without even realizing it."
He complained on the surface, but his laughter was extremely hearty. The anxiety in his heart was suddenly relieved a lot with the appearance of the gourd.
"Look, there's someone on the cloud!"
"It's the Imperial Master. The Imperial Master is finally here!"
"Haha, the Imperial Master has taken action, Chang'an is saved!"
The bad guys cheered enthusiastically. After Li Daoxuan defeated Maha in public, he gained a high reputation among the bad guys.
Although Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng are highly skilled in Taoism and have made every possible effort, they are not good at fighting. Among the bad guys, they are extremely eager for a leader who can dominate the world with his fighting skills.
The appearance of Li Daoxuan undoubtedly gave many people hope.
At this moment, Li Daoxuan was standing in the void, stepping on the wind and rain, with his long hair fluttering and a cold light in his eyes.
He threw the dust in his hand away, and it turned into a black jade unicorn. It dived into the water like a tiger into a flock of sheep. No water corpse ghost could stop it.
In addition, a hundred-foot-long green dragon flew out from behind Li Daoxuan, hovering in the dark clouds and roaring, as if confronting some invisible force.
Although the heavy rain did not stop completely, it did ease the intensity of the rain a little.
This was not enough, Li Daoxuan blew a few green bird feathers, turning them into huge skylarks, and ordered them to rescue the people trapped in the water.
clang!
The Dragon Roar Sword Box was fully opened , and the three swords, Chixiao, Bailong and Juque, came out at the same time, transforming into thousands of sword shadows, like crisscrossing lightning. Every time they shuttled through, they would take away the lives of countless water corpse ghosts.
For a time, the sword energy in Chang'an City was surging, and dragons and tigers were fighting. Li Daoxuan suppressed the chaotic situation almost single-handedly. Seeing that the flood in Chang'an City was getting less and less, the water corpses also suffered heavy casualties and dared not show up again.
The situation seems to be gradually improving.
But Li Daoxuan became more alert and solemn.
Because with Moro's handiwork, it is impossible that there are only these ordinary water corpse ghosts. According to what he said before, it is obvious that he has set up a killing trap for himself in Chang'an.
If it was only to this extent, how could it threaten Li Daoxuan's life?
…
Daxingshan Temple.
This place was also submerged by the flood, and many monks without magical powers floated on the water, calling on Buddha for help.
But in fact, there are also statues of Buddha and Bodhisattva floating on the water.
But it seemed that their cry for help was really answered, and a huge...bowl floated on the water?
Xuanzang, wearing a brocade robe, stood on a bowl, reached out and pulled up monks one after another, and saved civilians one after another.
Some water ghosts wanted to get close to the purple gold bowl, but were blocked by the brocade robes on Xuanzang.
This cassock made from the seven treasures of Buddhism emitted a pure and warm Buddhist light, which kept the water corpse ghosts out and provided everyone with a safe place to stand.
At this moment, Xuanzang was extremely grateful to his elder brother.
If his elder brother had not forced him to give the cassock, even if he had accidentally discovered the magical effect of the purple gold bowl, he would probably not be able to stop these aggressive water corpse ghosts.
As more and more people got on the purple gold bowl, the space became increasingly narrow, and it seemed that it was about to be unable to accommodate them all.
Xuanzang bit his finger and let the blood drip onto the bowl. The next moment, the purple gold bowl became a little bigger again.
This was a secret that Xuanzang discovered accidentally. He found that the purple gold bowl was actually a magic weapon with the ability to make it as big or small as he wished. Although he had no magic power, he could barely activate this magic weapon by dripping blood.
As the space in the bowl became larger, Xuanzang could continue to save people.
But what he didn't know was that as the blood dripped, a faint strange fragrance floated in the surrounding air, making the water corpse ghosts even more crazy and constantly crashing into the purple gold bowl.
Although the brocade cassock had the ability to protect, as the purple gold bowl grew larger, the Buddha's light from the cassock gradually became unable to cover it completely.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Under the crazy impact of the water corpse ghosts, the purple gold bowl kept shaking, and the monks and people inside were all panicked and trembling.
Just when Xuanzang was frowning, the sound of a dog barking suddenly rang out.
A majestic black dog came walking on the water, like a tiger descending from the mountain, and in no time it bit several water corpses to death, exuding a fierce aura from head to toe.
"Roaring Sky!"
Xuanzang let out a cry of surprise, the greatest surprise of his life.
Xiaotian shook his tail and said proudly, "Little monk, don't worry. I am here to save you on the orders of the Immortal Master."
As it said this, it rushed towards the fleeing water ghosts and chased them to the depths of the water. Xuanzang's worried voice could still be faintly heard.
"careful……"
Xiaotian wagged his tail and thought, how could these chickens and dogs really hurt him?
What a joke.
It chased all the way with great power, biting countless water zombies to death in the water. It was truly exhilarating and satisfying, but unfortunately no one saw it.
After feeling satisfied, Xiaotian prepared to go back to find the little monk again, but he didn’t know if it was an illusion, but he seemed to hear a muffled thunder in his ears.
Then, muffled thunder sounded continuously.
How can there be thunder underwater?
Xiaotian was confused and swam towards the direction of the muffled thunder. He didn't know where he swam to and ended up in a big dark hole that was bottomless.
After diving for dozens of feet, Xiaotian suddenly stopped, his hair stood on end and he felt cold to the bone.
It finally understood why there was thunder under the water, or rather, it was not thunder, but... the snoring of a monster!
I saw a mountain shaped like a giant turtle in the underground cave. Under the turtle mountain, a huge monster shaped like a green ape was tied with an iron chain hundreds of feet long. It closed its eyes and slept, and its snoring was as loud as thunder, which kept stirring in the water.
Xiaotian immediately tensed up.
In a trance, it seemed to have turned into a weak wild dog again, trembling under the suppression of its blood, as if facing a terrifying behemoth that dominated the ancient times.
Xiaotian slowly retreated, fearing to disturb the sleeping giant ape.
But at this moment, dozens of water corpses rushed in, making sharp sounds from their mouths, as if trying to wake up the giant beast.
Xiaotian's scalp suddenly felt numb.
Fortunately, the giant beast snored again, and the surging suction force swallowed up the water zombies in one gulp, as if it was eating in a dream.
Xiaotian hugged a huge rock beside him and finally breathed a sigh of relief after the suction disappeared.
It was about to escape quietly, but was horrified to find that the giant ape's eyelids were trembling slightly after swallowing dozens of water corpses.
Crash~
As the sound of chains rattled, the giant ape slowly opened its eyes, revealing a dazzling golden light, like a blazing flame.
