MTL - Ascend Another Day-Chapter 7 Nai River diversion incident
A loud noise like a landslide came down the mountain, and the water of the Nai River had swallowed the foot of the mountain. The turbulent river was getting higher and higher, spreading up the mountain, eroding everything along the way!
Xu Ying and the snake demon Yan Qi rushed back to the ruined temple one after the other, and suddenly felt that the weather had become extremely cold. The snake demon was dazed and almost fell into hibernation due to the freezing.
"Yu Qi, hurry up and mobilize your blood, don't freeze to death!" Xu Ying reminded loudly.
They mobilized qi and blood to warm their bodies, but the cold air seemed to penetrate into the bone marrow, and even qi and blood could hardly get rid of it.
Xu Ying trembled and urged the big sun to quench his body, and his body felt a little warmer.
He folded his hands in front of his chest and staggered violently. A flame burst out from his palms, lighting the extinguished bonfire.
One person and one snake came to the bonfire, and saw that the bonfire had turned dark green, and from time to time old faces appeared in the green flames, with white eyes hanging, making screams, but there was no sound, so infiltrating!
"No wonder this temple is dilapidated, the feng shui here is not good!" the snake demon Piqi trembled in fright.
At the foot of the mountain, a man in yellow robe led five strange men and hurried up the mountain.
"True yang, qi and blood, yin and evil do not invade!"
While running, Huang Paolang muttered, suddenly a strong true yang energy burst out from his body, forcing back the evil energy brought by Naihe.
His true yang qi and blood were extremely powerful and domineering, and his surroundings were like a big furnace, unbearably hot, but with a strong demonic aura.
Under the intrusion of his evil aura, the five strange men around him couldn't help showing their original shapes, turning into huge monsters!
This Huang Pao Lang is the mountain **** of this stone mountain, named Huang Siping, who usually lives in the mountain temple and is revered as the stone mountain god. The five monsters under him are monsters guarding the Shishan Temple.
They guarded the stone mountain and searched for Xu Ying's whereabouts under the order of the city god. They planned to return to the mountain temple in the middle of the night, but they heard the elephant's cry when the snake monster broke through, so they found it.
As soon as they went up the mountain, the Nai River surged towards them, directly cutting off their back path, so they had no choice but to continue to flee for their lives up the mountain!
The stone mountain **** Huang Siping led the demons to speed up, but the water of the Nai River rose too fast and soon engulfed a fox demon!
The fox demon fell into the water, and in an instant, its fur and flesh melted away, leaving only a dry bone that was swept away by the waves.
The demons' scalps were numb, and they ran wildly. Under the moonlight, they saw someone's figure swaying not far away. The Stone Mountain God Huang Siping looked at it and couldn't help but startled: "The Caotou gods of Dengjiapu, Wujialing, Laobutou and other villages! They Come too!"
The gods in the villages and towns are Caotou Gods, who are enshrined in the souls of virtuous people after their death and live in statues of gods. But Huang Siping is a great demon cultivator, who has become the seventh level of martial arts, and was named a mountain god. It can be said that he became a **** in the flesh.
Although both absorb the incense of the people and enjoy sacrifices, they are fundamentally different.
Those grass-headed gods ran desperately, one after another, they were drawn into the waves of the Nai River, their statues were shattered, and their souls were swept away by the Nai River without a trace.
The four monsters around Huang Siping, the God of the Stone Mountain, also failed to escape, and were engulfed by Naihe one after another.
Huang Siping was about to rush to the ruined temple, but he saw someone rushing from the other side of the ruined temple. It was a man dressed as an official, dressed in black and red.
When the two met each other, they were startled and put on defensive postures.
"So it's Mr. Wei, the jailer." The yellow hair on Huang Siping's face trembled slightly.
The official in black and red clothes was the one who rescued Ding Quan, his name was Wei Chu, and he was one of the eight wardens in Lingling County. During the day, he led two other wardens to chase Xu Ying and rescue Ding Quan. But after chasing all the way, Xu Ying was never found.
He also heard the elephant's cry when the snake monster Zanqi broke through, so he came here. He just went up the mountain, but unexpectedly, the Nai River changed its course, and the waves of the river swallowed his two colleagues!
Even Wei Chu was shocked by the death of two Nuo masters.
"So it's Shishan God." Wei Chu's eyes twitched, and he smiled.
Chenghuang and Zhou Yang, the county magistrate, did not get along with each other. They both wanted to control Lingling and fought openly and secretly for many years. Therefore, Lingling officials and the gods under the name of Chenghuang were also somewhat hostile.
Especially this time, the case of Xu Ying's murder of gods made both sides even more tense, and they both issued orders to kill each other's forces!
Wei Chu is not afraid of any grass-headed gods, but Huang Siping, the stone mountain god, is a demon king and a god, so powerful that he can be said to be his rival!
Huang Siping, the stone mountain god, carried a zhang-long fine steel saber knife on his back, put the knife in his hand, and said boldly, "The Nai River diverts, and we are all facing a catastrophe. Master Wei, if we fight each other, we will both lose." , if we join hands to cross together, there is still a way to survive. What do you think?"
Wei Chu frowned, and looked behind Huang Siping, the Nai River was still rising, and it was about to engulf this place. Now the only high ground on Shishan is the ruined temple in front of him.
If they go to war, they may fall into the water at any time and die.
Wei Chu nodded, and said: "In the face of adversity, we really need to help each other, and don't mention the past grievances."
The two walked into the ruined temple, and saw a young man and a big snake warming around the bonfire. The bonfire was very green, and ghosts kept coming out of the bonfire.
"The criminal, Xu Ying, do you recognize this officer?" Wei Chu said in an old-fashioned way, with a strong official authority.
Xu Ying quickly pinched the money in the sleeve, and said vigilantly: "Master Wei, I have no money for you."
He has seen officials extorting money, and the untouchables often smile all over their faces and offer the money with both hands. The officials don't look at the money, but they take the money quietly with their hands, and say that next time, don't do this and so on.
In the past, Xu Ying had no money, but now he got a few taels of silver for the first time, and planned to keep it and flee to another place as a bride price to marry a wife, so he didn't want to give it to him.
"Troublemaker! What's in your sleeve?" Wei Chu sneered, "I'm a sharp-eyed officer. I'll know if you have any money! But I can't accept your money. The crime you committed is too big. I can't exonerate you. The county magistrate ordered you to die."
Xu Ying breathed a sigh of relief, a little joyful, and said, "It's fine if the master wants his life without money. If he wants his life, I'll kill him. If he wants money, I really don't want to give it."
Wei Chu snorted, glanced at Huang Siping, and said, "Does Shishan God want money or life?"
"Money and life, I want it!" Huang Siping said indifferently, "The Lord of the City God ordered his life. I work for the City God, so naturally it is not easy to ask for money. Kill him, and I will search for money from his corpse." , can’t work in vain!”
Wei Chu narrowed his eyes, put his hands into his sleeves quietly, and said with a smile, "The mob Xu Ying, killed Jiang Yuanwai, this is a lawsuit in Yangjian."
The yellow hair on Huang Siping's face trembled, and he held the Bailian Saber tightly in his hand: "Jiang's family **** is the **** of the underworld, and Xu Ying's murder of the **** violates the law of the underworld."
Wei Chupi smiled, pulled his palm out of his sleeve, and said, "Naihe River crosses the border. If we cooperate, we will benefit, and if we fight, we will lose both. Shishan God, let's take a step back and wait until the Naihe River passes, then we will argue, how about it?"
Huang Siping nodded silently.
Wei Chu sat down by the campfire, glanced at Xu Ying, and said, "As a snake catcher, you have some skills, so why are you a thief?"
Xu Ying stared at the screaming ghosts in the bonfire, and the corners of his mouth moved: "The gods and officials don't give us a way to survive. The grassroots can only kill the gods and officials and find a way to survive."
Sitting opposite Wei Chu, Huang Siping rarely showed a smile: "Xu Dashan, you are born with the potential to be decapitated."
Wei Chu laughed and said, "This is demonic nature. Xu Ying, your demonic nature is difficult to tame. If you don't commit a crime today, you will commit a crime sooner or later. Look at Shishan God, he has been tamed very well."
Huang Siping said flatly: "Master Wei, you will be a dog for the Zhou family, and I will be a dog for Yinting. We are all the same. Why should the eldest brother talk about the second brother?"
Wei Chu smiled and didn't take it seriously.
Xu Ying got up and looked out of the temple, only to see the torrential water still rising, and it had already reached the gate of the ruined temple. The rising speed of the water gradually slowed down, but it would still submerge the ruined temple in a short time!
He looked around, except for the ruined temple, there was no higher place to hide from the Nai River.
"You two masters, do you know why the Nai River diverted?" Xu Ying turned around and asked.
Huang Siping and Wei Chu sat in front of the constantly haunted bonfire, warming up, and their faces were reflected green.
Wei Chu's smile seemed a bit sinister, and he said: "It is said that there is a river in the underworld called the Nai River, which carries the souls of the dead. This long river has its own rules in the underworld, and it will not change its course easily. There is only one thing that diverted."
Xu Ying asked: "What's the matter?"
Wei Chu's eyes were glowing green from the bonfire, and he said with a smile, "Massive death in Yangjian."
Xu Ying was puzzled: "Why would the Nai River be diverted due to mass deaths?"
Wei Chu didn't answer.
Huang Siping said: "The Nai River is a long river that receives and guides the souls of the dead. Originally, there were tributaries of the Nai River in various places in Yangjian, and the number of dead people is countless every day. It is enough to follow the steps in the tributaries of the Nai River. But if there are large-scale deaths, it is far away." If the original number is exceeded, the tributaries of the Nai River will not be able to divert, and the main trunk of the Nai River will be diverted!"
He paused, and said: "In other words, in the direction of the Nai River, a large-scale death occurred."
Xu Ying looked in the direction of the Nai River, which was the west.
"What happened to the west of Lingling? Why did Naihe from the underworld come to the underworld?"
Xu Ying continued to ask, "Didn't you say that yin and yang are orderly? The underworld is the underworld, and the yang is the yang, each has its own principle of operation. Why did the Nai River invade the yang?"
"Good question!" Wei Chu praised, but didn't answer because he didn't know the answer either.
Huang Siping also fell silent.
He Qi couldn't help it, and said: "The underworld invaded the yang world, and it happened a long time ago. The diversion of the Nai River also happened frequently. As early as 800 years ago, there was a diversion of the Nai River, and the underworld invaded the yang world. Later, Tianbao ten In four years, there was also a diversion of the Nai River."
Wei Chu and Huang Siping looked at him together with puzzled eyes.
In the 14th year of Tianbao, the king of Dongping County rebelled, and many people died. It would indeed cause the Nai River to divert, but what happened 800 years ago, even Huang Siping and other old monsters don't know.
How could a little snake demon like Xiqi be so clear?
"My family has a lot of books, and I like to read." He Qiwen said politely, "Three generations of our grandparents and grandchildren all like to read, and we have collected countless books in the past three hundred years. My family has a long history of learning, and it is a scholarly family..."
Wei Chu interrupted him and said, "What's the use of studying? Can you be an official?"
He Qi was a little aggrieved and stopped talking.
The water level of the Nai River rose and finally poured into the ruined temple. Xu Ying and the others immediately got up and jumped to the roof of the temple.
However, they all know that if the water level of the Nai River rises further, the ruined temple will be submerged, and the water of the Nai River will melt their flesh and blood!
Wei Chu's eyes flickered, he glanced at Xu Ying, Huang Siping, and the snake demon Piqi, and said in his heart: "Although the Nai River can swallow flesh and blood, it seems that it can't melt bones. If the river rises again, the only way to kill them is to kill them." Their bones are used as stepping stones!"
He suddenly noticed Huang Siping's eyes flickering, secretly looked at him, and said with awe in his heart: "The Stone Mountain God must also think like I do!"
The water potential rose higher and higher, and gradually invaded the Daxiong Hall of the ruined temple, and the water of the Nai River also surged in the backyard, and the water potential was about to reach the well under the bell in the pavilion.
Just as Wei Chu was about to kill someone, he used the dead body as a foothold, when suddenly the radiance in the ruined temple shot up into the sky, so that everyone could barely open their eyes!
The radiant divine light rushed into the air and exploded violently!
"Boom—"
There was an incomparably loud bell, and the exploding light turned into a huge bell-shaped halo, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com buckled upside down around the ruined temple, and as the bell vibrated, the water of the Nai River in the surrounding area was forced back!
On the roof of the ruined temple, Xu Ying and the others were horrified. They looked around, but saw that the big bell around the ruined temple was a thick wall of light!
Various strange textures emerged on the light wall, flashing and disappearing continuously, forming different patterns.
Outside the big radiant clock, the Nai River was surging and getting higher and higher. Under the impact of the flood, fierce ghosts with ferocious faces kept hitting the wall of the clock, and were turned into green smoke repeatedly by the big clock!
Xu Ying and the others felt that the weather had warmed up again, not as cold as before.
"It's the bell in the gazebo in the backyard!"
Xu Ying came to his senses and looked towards the gazebo, only to see the bright light shining from under the gazebo, shooting from under the surface of the rusty copper bell.
Everyone came down from the roof and came to the gazebo. Wei Chu asked suspiciously: "I didn't expect such treasures to be found in such a ruined temple, but why are these treasures hung here and no one takes them away?"
Suddenly, the rocky mountain under their feet shook violently, and the ground shook!
The three of Xu Ying hurriedly stretched out their hands to support the pillars of the gazebo, and then stabilized their figures, each of them was in shock.
The big copper bell hanging in the gazebo was even brighter and more dazzling. The light shone into the well, illuminating the dark bottom of the well. Xu Ying suddenly caught a glimpse of huge black iron scales sliding at the bottom of the well!
It was a huge body!
He leaned over to the well and looked carefully.
Suddenly, the black iron scales stopped moving, and the scales retreated to the sides.
In the pitch-black well, a blue eye with pricked pupils filled the bottom of the well, staring at him faintly.
Countless whispering voices filled Xu Ying's mind, causing thousands of thoughts to pop up in his mind in an instant.
