Elaborate on the world of mortals

178 The Flood Recedes

Yi Shuyuan looked at the picture scroll in front of him with emotion, this treasure is not yet fully completed and cannot be used immediately, but the rest is just a waste of time.

It can be said that time is fate, if it happens again, Yi Shuyuan himself is not sure that it will be successful.

But looking at the picture scroll with hazy brilliance in front of him, while Yi Shuyuan sighed, infinite joy rose in his heart.

I am not only happy to have such a peerless treasure, but also happy to have a breakthrough in my practice in this desperate situation.

"Sometimes Dao's appearance is often unexpected, and sometimes it is expected but lacks courage. Today is a combination of both."

There are times when practice goes with the flow, and there are also times when it is necessary to fight. Today, Yi Shuyuan fought bravely while going with the flow, fighting for his own vitality and the vitality of the common people.

When Yi Shuyuan thought of this, he muttered to himself almost immediately.

Waves of hazy aura emerged from the depths of my mind. This kind of change, which ordinary people and even many monks can't detect, may be the result of merit.

In this case, when Yi Shuyuan looked at the dragon on the edge of the underground lake in the distance, the sense of terror seemed to fade a bit, and it seemed a little brighter than before, but the dragon obviously didn't notice it.

Seeing the immortal looking over, although Jiaolong's whole body looked like he was falling apart at the moment, he still endured the pain and swam over, and soon came to Yi Shuyuan's side.

"I didn't expect you to have such magic power. You really showed mercy to me that day?"

Jiaolong was both emotional and horrified. Looking at the picture scroll that Yi Shuyuan was still unfolding in front of him, he understood that it was an unimaginable treasure, and it was almost forged under his nose.

But after going through the previous crisis together, Jiaolong is also convinced, that kind of life-and-death situation, can take advantage of the situation and make such a response, it can only be said that the way of immortality is indeed extraordinary.

"My name is Jiang Lang. I don't know your surname or name. Which immortal mountain and blessed land is it?"

"I, Yi Shuyuan, is just a generation of idle clouds and wild cranes."

At this time, there is no problem in saying the name openly.

During the speech, the scroll in Yi Shuyuan's hand was closed, and he put it in his sleeve, and then swam towards the exit of the underground lake.

"Let's go out, we don't know what's going on outside yet!"

Jiaolong also followed at this moment, since the stone pagoda was gone, he naturally didn't have to stick to it.

After a while, one person and one dragon flew out from the octagonal well.

"hold head high--"

The water mist covered the dragon's shadow, but a loud and distant dragon chant still spread out, and even ordinary people could vaguely hear the strange chirping sound.

It's just that not many people in Changfeng Mansion now care about any special noises, because there are crying and screaming everywhere, and there is chaos everywhere.

The dark clouds in the sky are still as thick as lead blocks, hardly letting in much sunlight. Although the rain has become lighter, it is still pouring rain compared to before.

The entire city of Changfengfu was flooded. The places with higher terrain were fine, but the houses with lower terrain were almost half submerged.

Fortunately, although there was a flood, the water was very scary at the beginning, and it was not too fast in the end, and it rose slowly, leaving room for many people to escape.

Someone was holding that kind of big wooden tub, on which children were paddling, and someone was relaying each other, sending some important items and the old and weak out of the low water area.

Some of the old city walls became temporary shelters for many people, and they were filled with temporary shacks, and a large number of people gathered in the high terrain in the north of the city.

Seeing this scene, the joy of cultivation in Yi Shuyuan's heart also faded.

Yi Shuyuan didn't know what Jiaolong thought, but Yi Shuyuan thought of the last life, if it was the last life, the soldiers might have arrived.

But here, the Changfeng government office can't even take care of itself, most of them rely on the common people to help each other.

In the darkness, it seemed even more difficult, even the torches and lanterns could not be lit.

This kind of catastrophe also obscured the sky, and some evil spirits appeared. In some places of Changfeng Mansion, some ghosts and gods searched around, and some cast spells to stabilize some rapids.

There was chaos everywhere, but it seemed that only the Changfeng Mansion was dealing with it alone, and there was no help from the Dragon Clan.

"I'm exhausted too much, and my magic power is not enough. I still hope that brother Jiang can control the water with the magic method of the dragon clan!"

Yi Shuyuan is telling the truth. He is almost exhausted of mana. Now he maintains his figure by a stream of aura in his body. He can cast some spells, but he doesn't have any great mana to affect the earth and sky.

Seeing this scene, Jiaolong, who was floating beside Yi Shuyuan, was also touched. Hearing this "Brother Jiang", he was overjoyed and looked up at the sky.

"I'll stop the rain first!"

After all, the dragon body was wrapped in mist and ascended to the sky, flying towards the lead cloud in the sky.

However, this cloud is not an ordinary cloud. Jiaolong realized after reaching the sky that this kind of dark cloud cover is caused by the terrifying mass of water essence.

This group of clouds formed a vortex in the sky, absorbing all energy, and even swelled with water vapor, it looked a bit like a cloud of catastrophe.

"hold head high--"

Amidst the dragon chant, the dragon's body stirred several times in the sky, but the heavy lead cloud did not disperse for a moment.

Jiaolong suddenly became angry, and he had already boasted in front of Yi Shuyuan. If he couldn't stop the rain, would he still lose face?
The next moment, Jiaolong didn't care about his own body condition anymore, he opened his dragon's mouth to endure the pain, and swallowed the thick water vapor.

"Ahhh-"

I swallow, I swallow.
The dragon shadow kept churning in the sky, the sound of the dragon's roar and the sound of thunder mixed together, but the clouds seemed to keep spreading farther away, without any effect.

But in the eyes of Yi Shuyuan in mid-air, it has already worked, because the clouds have obviously faded, and the light on the ground has increased a little.

Correspondingly, the terrifying watery aura finally stopped converging and began to spread.
At this moment, the aura was revealed to the outside, and some related old dragons of the Dragon Clan, as well as some people with a certain level of Taoism, suddenly noticed the abnormality.

Some people are horrified, some are puzzled, some are counting variables, and some are confused after finishing the calculation, but the most dangerous time has long passed, and now is just the end.

As soon as the rain fell, the water level in Changfeng Mansion immediately showed a downward trend.

Until the rain stopped completely, a hole broke somewhere in the sky's clouds, and the sun was able to shine down, illuminating Changfengfu City a lot at once.

"Sun! The sun is out—" "The rain has stopped—"

"The sun is out, woo woo woo."

"The rain stopped, the rain stopped!"

Many people in the city immediately shouted, and there were not a few who cried with joy when they saw the sun rising.
A flood dragon in the sky felt that it was about to explode, but fortunately, it finally looked forward to the aura of the dragon clan coming from the other end of the cloud layer. Even though it understood the reason in its heart, it still couldn't help cursing in its heart after the joy.

Damn it's so slow, if it wasn't for my life, I'm afraid I wouldn't see a complete scale when collecting the corpse!
"hold head high--"

Along with the sound of the dragon's chant, there were also questions echoing in the sky.

"What happened? Why are you in the sky and not guarding the forbidden place?"

I almost died!
Qi to Qi, Jiang Lang still responded.

"The ban was loosened and the stone tower was broken, which caused disasters and catastrophes, but it has been resolved. This matter is a long story, please help me control the water first."

A few new dragon shadows joined in, the water vapor in the sky quickly dissipated, and the entire Changfeng Mansion soon ushered in a sunny day.

At this moment, Yi Shuyuan had landed somewhere on the city wall, beside some people who were weeping with joy, he looked into the sky and could clearly see more than one dragon shadow.

I was looking forward to seeing the Dragon Clan before, but this time I saw a few things.

Then Yi Shuyuan looked at the ground inside and outside the city wall, and the water level was also dropping rapidly.
Half a day later, except for some low-lying areas where there was still water that was as deep as a calf, the flood in the entire Changfengfu City finally receded gradually, leaving the city in a mess.

The post reporter soldiers who were trapped by the flood rushed to Chengtian Mansion to report the flood situation of Changfeng Mansion to the emperor.
-
The Chu Mansion was also flooded, but because it was located on a higher ground, the deepest part of the water was down to the calf of a person.

However, the people in the Chu Mansion basically all retreated to a higher place, after all, the previous posture was obviously a situation where the water was getting more and more exaggerated.

In the past two days, everyone was very anxious, and Chu Hang couldn't eat or sleep. Together with his servants and friends, they brought some rice from home. Although many of them were damp or even soaked, the time was short. Set up the pot to cook porridge.

There were too many people affected by the disaster, and many people had no time to carry food. There were not a few people like the Chu family who built huts on the city wall to cook porridge.

This kind of busyness can give Chu Hang some psychological comfort. After all, under the reminder of Hui Mian, he feels that this flood has a lot to do with him. Even if he is heartless on weekdays, these two days are still very painful.

This is my hometown, and many of them are familiar folks.

"There is not enough dry firewood!" "Bake it by the fire, it will dry up in a while!"

"Sprinkle some salt in the porridge, sprinkle some salt!"

Chu Hang and several kiln craftsmen are cooking porridge.

While he was busy, he suddenly heard someone shouting "The sky is clear" from the top of the city. He looked at the crowd and then at the sky, and the clouds had already begun to dissipate before he knew it.
People stopped what they were doing one after another. Many people stared blankly at the city, and some cheered together.

"I don't know what happened to Mr. Yi?"

Chu Hang murmured, and Hui Mian, who was hiding on his body, said confidently.

"Mr. will be fine for sure. When the weather clears, it means that Mr. will be back soon!"

The water receded faster than people imagined. In just half a day, many streets in the city that hadn’t seen the sun for a long time were bathed in the sun again, but most of the places were washed with broken debris, and the city looked very messy. .

Just like other people in the city, the people of the Chu Mansion went to their home very eagerly, wanting to make a remedy as soon as possible.

The water in the Chu Mansion has also receded, and the impact on the mansion has been relatively small.

Half a day later, Chu Hang and Yang Bencai each took a big broom to clean up the silt and sundries in the yard.

Chu Hang, who had been keeping an eye on the gate from time to time, suddenly found a familiar figure, and immediately lifted his spirits, and greeted him with a broom.

"Mr. Yi!" "It's really Mr. Yi!"

Yang Bencai also raised his head, and was surprised when he saw Yi Shuyuan, but Hui Mian had rushed back to Yi Shuyuan's side like a ray of gray light.

Although Yi Shuyuan was a little tired, he still looked normal in the eyes of outsiders, and he also smiled when he saw Chu Hang and Yang Bencai.

"Mr. Yi, are you okay?"

Chu Hang was extremely worried, for fear that the catastrophe in his dream had not yet passed.

Yi Shuyuan nodded.

"It's all right!"

These words were addressed to the two of them, but in Chu Hang's ear, Yi Shuyuan's whispering voice came again.

"The hidden danger in Changfeng Mansion is gone, and you won't have nightmares anymore, but you'd better not mention this to outsiders in the future."

Just after Yi Shuyuan finished the sound transmission, he suddenly felt something and looked towards the sky.

A dragon shadow hovered in the air and landed on the street, turning into a man wearing a blue-collared white-bottomed dark coat and walking over quickly.

"Mr. Yi, it's good that you come back, I thought something happened to you!"

Yang Bencai said this from the side, but saw Yi Shuyuan looking outside.

The man walking quickly was Jiang Lang transformed by Jiaolong. He also heard the people from the Chu family address Yi Shuyuan, so he opened his mouth when he got close.

"Mr. Yi, it's easy for me to find! You have to testify for me, hiccup, otherwise I will, hiccup."

"Brother Jiang, are you okay?"

Yi Shuyuan said something concerned, but Jiang Lang hurriedly waved his hands. Although his body was uncomfortable, it was nothing compared to what happened next.

"It's okay, it's okay, the next thing is more important, hiccup, do you need to help?"

Of course Yi Shuyuan understood what Jiang Lang was referring to. The dragon guarding the tower was to blame for such a major incident. He and this dragon were also friends in trouble, and he should help out of reason, so he nodded in response.

"Don't worry, Yi will definitely clarify this matter for you!"

"Well, hiccup, that's good! Hiccup, hiccup, hiccup"

Receiving Yi Shuyuan's promise, Jiang Lang felt relieved, and hiccupped several times with a slightly painful expression. Chu Hang and Yang Ben, who couldn't see the situation clearly, were worried for a while.

"Mr. Yi, who is this?" "Is he all right?"

"Hi's okay, I'm sorry, hiccup, Jiang Lang, and Mr. Yi's fateful friendship, hiccup."

Jiang Lang did not forget to hand in hand with the two people in front of the door.

"Oh, nice to meet you!"

Yang Bencai and Chu Hang also returned the gift together, but they didn't know that the person in front of them was a dragon.
