Chapter 451: The Water-Rising Ape, Indestructible
Li Daoxuan concentrated all his attention, not missing any movement, but found no changes. He watched as the Three Realms Gourd gradually took away the flood, and the suffering people of Chang'an were gradually rescued by Xiao Que'er's incarnation.
Huge figures flew across the sky. They were the incarnations of little birds that performed the magic of heaven and earth. They muttered that Li Daoxuan could command them, but their bodies were honestly carrying the people.
The situation finally stabilized.
Li Daoxuan was a little suspicious. Was he being too cautious?
As soon as this thought came to his mind, the next moment he knew he was wrong, and very wrong.
The flood that had just been swept away by the Three Realms Gourd suddenly raged, and endless water vapor burst out and rushed into the sky, like a huge wave.
Crash!
Beneath the dark water, the sound of heavy chains could be faintly heard.
boom!
A huge fist burst out from the water, tied with rusty iron chains, its green hair looked like sharp arrows, and its bulging muscles were as winding as dragons and pythons, revealing an ancient and desolate atmosphere.
One punch, and a huge wave will appear.
Li Daoxuan was shocked, because the direction of the fist attack was actually the Three Realms Gourd that was collecting water!
He formed a seal with his hands and said, "Quick!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Forty-nine golden sun needles flew out from the Three Realms Gourd, surrounded by blazing spiritual fire, and dived into the water, attacking the eyes of the underwater monster, trying to force it to stop and defend itself.
Eyes are the weakness of most monsters, and Li Daoxuan's Sun Golden Needles are specifically designed to break the eyes and are the most effective in restraining pupil techniques. Even Maha, who has cultivated a golden body, has to close his eyes when facing these forty-nine Sun Golden Needles.
Li Daoxuan did not think that any random monster could compare to the golden body of Buddha.
After all, not all monkeys are called Sun Wukong.
Sizzle!
When the golden needle entered the water, the extremely high temperature caused a white mist to float on the water surface, but even so, the flame on the golden needle did not go out. It was a spiritual fire that could not be extinguished by ordinary water.
Through the firelight, one could vaguely see a turtle-shaped mountain and the majestic and terrifying green-haired giant ape at the foot of the mountain.
To Li Daoxuan's surprise, the monster did not return to defend, but continued to smash the Three Realms Gourd.
boom!
The Three Realms Gourd, which was a hundred feet tall, trembled violently under this punch. Its huge body took off directly and flew towards the sky. The light around it dimmed and quickly became smaller.
Li Daoxuan's face changed, and with his mind and spirit connected, even he seemed to be hit hard in the chest, and his body swayed in the air.
He opened his third eye and looked at the monster under the water, hoping that the Sun Needle could achieve results.
However, what he did not expect was that the green-haired giant ape's eyes were shining with golden light, blazing like a blazing fire. He did not even close his eyelids, allowing the golden needle of the sun to shine on his pupils.
Ding ding dong!
Sparks flashed, and the sharp golden needle pierced the eyeball, but it didn't leave a single scar!
roar!
At this time, the giant ape did something that Li Daoxuan did not expect. It opened its mouth wide like a bottomless pit and swallowed all forty-nine golden sun needles into its stomach.
The pair of golden animal eyes like lanterns looked at Li Daoxuan with a hint of sarcasm.
Crash~
The giant ape finally stood up. The first thing that emerged from the water was a turtle-shaped mountain, and then the upper body of the giant ape. It was actually carrying the mountain on its back!
Li Daoxuan finally saw the giant ape's appearance completely and thoroughly, and his heart sank.
I saw the giant ape carrying Turtle Mountain on its back. It had a flat nose, a bald forehead, a white head and a green body, fiery eyes, a head diameter of a hundred feet, a body as majestic as a mountain, and was tied up with several chains covered with copper rust.
It should have been unable to move, but several of the chains broke, allowing the giant ape to regain its ability to move, but it still could not get rid of Guishan on its back.
It simply tied the broken chain to its fist. It looked extremely strong, and every muscle contained breathtaking power.
Li Daoxuan looked at the Turtle Mountain and felt a chill in his heart.
This green-haired giant ape is definitely not a water corpse ghost. Its origin is probably quite shocking!
It was recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" that in ancient times, there was a divine ape in the water named Wuzhiqi, also known as the Water-Rising Divine Ape. It had the power of a nine-headed divine elephant and often stirred up trouble in the Huai River, causing disasters to the people.
Later, when Dayu was controlling the flood, Wuzhiqi caused trouble, with wind and thunder, and the sound of wood and rocks. Dayu was furious and captured him with the help of gods and Buddhas. He tied his hands and feet with iron chains, pierced his nostrils with golden bells, suppressed him at the foot of Guishan Mountain in Huaiyin, and locked him in Huaijing.
From then on, the Huai River began to flow calmly into the East China Sea, and the famous Zhiqi Well was built on the bank of the Huai River.
It is said that when Wu Cheng'en of later generations wrote about Sun Wukong, he borrowed the image of Wuzhiqi.
Li Daoxuan stared at this terrifying giant in the water. Even if he flew a hundred feet into the air, he could only barely reach the same level as it, and it looked as small as an ant.
If it is really Wuzhiqi, then he has survived from the time of Dayu to the present, and it is unknown how many years he has lived. Even Dayu, the ancient emperor of mankind, had to rely on the power of gods and Buddhas to suppress him.
At this moment, Li Daoxuan finally understood why Moro said that he was going to die. Facing a terrifying monster like Wuzhiqi, even if he had cultivated to the Yangshen realm, he might not be able to defeat it.
This is an existence that can challenge immortals and gods!
Wuzhiqi looked at Li Daoxuan, and besides the cruelty in his eyes, there was also a very human contempt.
“Nice jerky.”
With its fiery eyes, it easily saw through Li Daoxuan's cultivation level, which was only a half-step to the Yang God realm, just enough to fill its stomach.
Every time it wakes up, its stomach becomes extremely hungry and it needs to devour tens of millions of lives to satisfy its hunger.
The stronger the creature's cultivation, the more delicious it is to it. If ordinary humans are vegetables, fruits, then Li Daoxuan has risen to the level of jerky in its eyes.
Li Daoxuan looked solemn. He said in a thunderous voice, "Leave this city!"
To be honest, he didn't want to fight. After all, he was not sure of winning. If he could force the enemy to retreat and leave Chang'an, that would undoubtedly be the best outcome.
But Wuzhiqi obviously would not miss the delicious food in front of him.
In addition to hunger, the countless years of imprisonment also made it feel filled with endless anger that it couldn't help but vent!
roar!
Wuzhiqi roared suddenly, and the surging air waves shattered countless buildings, causing the little bird incarnation flying in the air to be shocked and briefly dizzy.
At this time Wuzhiqi waved his hand, grabbed the incarnation of a small bird, and with the many people on its back, stuffed it directly into his mouth, like a giant bear eating ants.
"Help!"
"Master, save me!"
"Wow, I don't want to die!"
…
Listening to the cries of the people, Li Daoxuan knew that this battle was inevitable.
He had just become the imperial teacher of the Tang Dynasty. If he could not protect the people of Chang'an City, everything would become a laughing stock. More importantly, he would not be able to live with his conscience.
Taoist priests are those who enforce justice on behalf of heaven!
Li Daoxuan has never forgotten the teachings of his master.
whoosh!
The demon-subduing golden light shot out and hit Wuzhiqi's hand, but it only caused his wrist to shake, and a few green hairs fell off, without even a drop of blood flowing out.
Wuzhiqi chewed the 'ants' in his mouth, blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. He shook his hands at Li Daoxuan and said with a little surprise: "Yes, it hurt me."
As it spoke, it spat out a dozen bloody corpses from its mouth and fell into the water.
Those are all old people, their meat is dry and their bones are loose, and the taste is extremely bad.
Wuzhiqi roared again, summoning countless water corpse ghosts. They swarmed together and devoured the bodies of the old men in an instant.
There was murderous intent in Li Daoxuan's eyes, and cold light flashed.
Seeing this scene, how could he not know that these water corpse ghosts were all summoned by Wuzhiqi in front of him.
It is not surprising when you think about it. Wuzhiqi is the water-raising monkey god, which is equivalent to the master of the water. Even the dragon is no match for him. In this era when gods and Buddhas do not appear, he is enough to command all the water monsters in the world.
Therefore, all the water corpse ghosts from all over the world were summoned by it, and first gathered in Xuzhou, an important road where the canal intersects, and then followed the river into the eight rivers of Chang'an. After the heavy rain washed away the river and flooded Chang'an, the water corpse ghosts would take the opportunity to kill into Chang'an and turn the most prosperous city in the Tang Dynasty into a hunting ground!
These water corpse ghosts look somewhat similar to Wuzhiqi, perhaps they have a trace of Wuzhiqi's blood in their bodies?
Seeing the angry Li Daoxuan, Wuzhiqi smiled, with a mocking look in his golden pupils.
"It doesn't hurt to tell you one more thing. In fact, there are not so many water corpse ghosts in this world. Some of them were transformed by me using the souls of you humans. They are the lonely ghosts who cannot be reincarnated and are forgotten by their relatives."
After a pause, a hint of satisfaction appeared in its eyes, and it said: "Turn them into water corpse ghosts, and then let them eat their relatives. Haha, it's a pity that Dayu is dead. Otherwise, if he saw this scene, I wonder what he would think?"
He was not satisfied with just eating humans, he also wanted to turn humans into water corpses and then kill each other and eat their own kind. This abnormal mentality shows his hatred for Dayu.
After all, Dayu who suppressed it back then was a human.
Hearing this, Li Daoxuan lowered his eyes. He remembered the little girl named Yan'er who disappeared by the river. No wonder Xiaotian said that there was the breath of water corpse ghost by the river.
The little girl who missed her parents, watched silently from the window and then left quietly, has now turned into a water ghost?
“You deserve to die…”
Li Daoxuan suddenly raised his eyes, his gaze was extremely sharp, like a divine sword drawn from its sheath.
clang!!!
The three swords, Chixiao, Bailong and Juque, seemed to sense the anger of the sword master, and burst out with amazing sword energy, flying towards Wuzhiqi.
Ding ding ding ding!
Faced with thousands of sword shadows, Wuzhiqi did not block them at all, allowing them to hit his body. Apart from sparks, there was not even a scar left.
"cut!"
Li Daoxuan pointed his sword together, and the Juque Sword turned into a heavy sword nearly a hundred feet long, flowing with the essence of the Five Mountains, and smashed down on Wuzhiqi's head.
Wuzhiqi showed some surprise and said, "This sword is quite interesting."
boom!
The heavy sword slashed down, Wuzhiqi did not dodge or evade, but punched the Juque heavy sword.
Crash~
As he threw a punch, huge waves suddenly rolled up all around, layers of white air waves exploded in the air, and the surrounding space was slightly distorted.
This punch makes the body immortal!
clang!!!
The Juque heavy sword that swooped down was unexpectedly knocked away by Wuzhiqi's punch. The sword spirit let out a mournful cry, and the huge sword body spun and smashed into the water, causing a huge wave.
Wuzhiqi just swayed slightly and took half a step back.
Li Daoxuan clenched his fists, and lightning flashed in his eyes, but eventually disappeared.
Now that Wuzhiqi was standing in the water, he could not use thunder magic, otherwise it would easily harm the innocent people who had not yet escaped or the bad guys who were still saving people.
In fact, even if he used thunder magic, he might not be able to hurt the other party.
"Haha, do you know why Dayu defeated me with the power of gods and Buddhas but didn't kill me?"
Wuzhiqi's golden pupils revealed a hint of pride, and he said, "It's not that Dayu doesn't want to kill me, but he can't kill me!"
"Whether it's lightning, fire, or divine weapons, none of them can hurt my body, so he can only suppress it, trying to trap me forever. Haha, but he doesn't know that even if the chain rusts and rots, my body will still be intact!"
Indestructible body of Vajra!
Wuzhiqi's physical body is so strong that it is even stronger than the golden body of Arhat and can be compared with some Buddhas. Even after countless years of suppression and exhaustion, his blood energy has declined, but it is still comparable to a spiritual treasure.
Although Li Daoxuan, who is half a step away from becoming a Yang God, has countless magical powers and magic weapons, it is difficult for him to hurt the Xingshui Divine Ape, which possesses the indestructible magical power of Vajra.
Li Daoxuan took a deep breath, looked at the people suffering and praying below, and made a silent decision in his heart.
It seems that I have to use that trick.
That was the trump card he prepared to deal with Moro. Since he was unable to use the Fantian Seal, it was the strongest means he could use so far.
In order to achieve this goal, Li Shimin did not hesitate to sacrifice the national strength and mobilized a large amount of manpower and material resources within several months before he finally succeeded.
Li Daoxuan stared at Wuzhiqi, looking at the blood stains on its mouth that had not yet dried. His long hair fluttered in the wind, and his Luoyue Immortal Robe moved without wind.
"Today, I will kill you!"
…
Outside Chang'an City, Shenheyuan, Ziwu Town.
This place was also affected by the flood. The once peaceful and quiet town has now become a disaster area. Those dilapidated huts were simply unable to withstand the flood and were washed away and collapsed in an instant.
But compared with the people in Chang'an City, they were still lucky because there were not many water corpses in the water.
At this moment, a middle-aged couple was sitting on a floating bed. The mother was holding her young son, and the father was holding a harpoon, alert to monsters in the water.
If Li Daoxuan were here, he would find out that this couple were Yan'er's parents.
Perhaps the child's crying attracted the attention of the water ghost. A figure floated under the water, seemingly swimming around them, looking for a loophole.
puff!
After a while, the water corpse ghost finally couldn't wait any longer and crashed into the thin bed, causing the couple to almost fall into the water.
Just then, another water corpse swam over, slightly thinner in size.
The couple looked at each other and could see the despair in each other's eyes.
I can't even deal with one, let alone two?
However, to their surprise, the slender water corpse ghost actually pounced on another water corpse ghost at an extremely fast speed, bit the other's throat and refused to let go.
After a few breaths, the water corpse died.
The slender water corpse stared at the middle-aged couple, with a strange light in its dark eyes, and it slowly swam forward.
"Don't come over here!"
The middle-aged man pointed the harpoon at the water corpse ghost and said viciously: "If you come any closer, I will stab you to death!"
The light in the water corpse ghost's eyes dimmed little by little.
It gradually retreated, as if preparing to leave.
The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment, the water corpse ghost suddenly pounced over, jumped high from the water, and actually grabbed the child in the woman's hands!
The middle-aged man roared and thrust the harpoon forward.
Blood splattered.
Faced with the harpoon, the water zombie, which moved as fast as lightning, did not dodge, allowing it to pierce its body, while its sharp claws pierced into the throat of another water zombie that was rushing towards it.
The middle-aged man stared at the scene blankly.
This water corpse... is protecting his children?
The child started crying, as if he was frightened. His mother held him in her arms and looked at the water corpse in front of her with a strange look.
He looked confused and uncertain, as if he had vaguely sensed something but couldn't be sure.
The slender and thin water corpse looked deeply at the middle-aged woman, then stretched out his left claw and gently put something down.
That's a candy.
When the little boy saw the candy, he stopped crying.
"Isn't this our candy?"
The middle-aged man found it unbelievable, but he still held the harpoon and did not dare to relax.
The water corpse took a look at the bloody harpoon, then covered his wound and slowly swam away.
Looking at the direction where the water corpse ghost left, the middle-aged woman seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.
Their son put the candy in his mouth and finally stopped crying.
"It seems... to know us?"
The man frowned and asked in confusion.
The woman hesitated for a moment and said, "I think it...it looks a bit like Yan'er..."
"Impossible, Yan'er has been dead for a long time!"
The middle-aged man shook his head to deny it, but after hesitating for a moment, the voice rang out again.
"This time, if our family can survive, let's go to Yan'er's grave together. Bring Xiaohu with you and let him kowtow to Yan'er."
In the distance, after seeing the family escape from danger, the slender water corpse finally ran out of strength and was too seriously injured, and slowly sank to the bottom of the water.
