Hanging pot to help the world, I just want to live forever

Chapter 186
On top of a hill.

Gu Dan stared solemnly at the rolling flood below the mountain, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

The flood came too suddenly and swiftly, completely beyond expectations.

"The last flood in Yuzhou dates back to the 22nd year of Zongming"

Gu Dan thought back to the time when he chatted with Mo Qiu in the restaurant. At that time, Dayue was not in such danger as it is now, but it also caused a lot of damage.

Tens of thousands of people were displaced, and hundreds of thousands of people were homeless, which indirectly led to a large increase in the number of bandits. The White Lotus Sect was also known to Gu Dan at that time.

In the blink of an eye, it was the first time he went to Yuzhou in person for more than [-] years. Gu Dan did not expect that he would be hit by a flood by such a coincidence.

With such a majestic power, even the great master has no ability to turn the world around, so he can only lead everyone to retreat to the mountain.

"It's not normal."

Beside Wang Mang, the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus Xu Wanrong frowned, and said seriously: "There must be some signs of flooding. It did rain a lot a while ago, and the water in the Yuan River has risen a lot, but the rise of that level It's not dangerous either, it happens almost every year.

Even if there is a flood, it shouldn't be so sudden and violent. Before that, you can always receive news from various places.What's more, Qiuye Village is located under a high mountain, and the terrain is superior. Generally speaking, even if there is a flood, it shouldn't start here! "

The base of the White Lotus Sect has always been in Yuzhou, and the Saintess of the White Lotus grew up in Yuzhou since she was a child, so she is more familiar with everything here.

The flood in front of me is completely inconsistent with the appearance of a normal flood disaster!

"Why is this flood still getting worse?"

Wang Mang also found out that the water flow under the mountain did not decrease at all, and even became faster and more terrifying, and even the water level rose a little - as if something was pushing the water flow to become bigger and bigger!
Generally speaking, even if the water is rising, the initial wave is the most terrifying, but after surviving the first wave, the subsequent water flow must not be as fast and unstoppable as it was at the beginning.

But after waiting for a long time, the flood at the foot of the mountain became more and more intense, showing no signs of abating at all.

According to the people from the Hongyang Hall who gathered here, there is no news of the canal breaking the embankment!Not to mention that the canal burst its embankment, there is no news of flooding the embankment. Where did this flood come from?

"The movement of heaven and earth has its own principles, which are the laws between heaven and earth. The circulation of yin and yang, the continuity of the five elements, and weather and astronomy all come from this. I have never heard of rice ears that grow by themselves without nutrients, and I have never heard of A person who understands all things by learning. Because the principles of all things are hidden between the heaven and the earth, they are born with forms, and transformed into intangibles. All have their principles and depend on each other.

Everything is connected with each other, and this can be used as a 'symptom'. If you gain insight into the truth in one step, you can know what will happen in the next step.Before this flood came, there was no sign at all. It didn't conform to the law of the development of things, and it didn't look like a natural disaster. "

Zou Dan said thoughtfully.

It's not like a natural disaster.
Gu Dan stared at the Taotao flood rushing wantonly, his eyes suddenly became sharp.

The next moment, he seemed to be transformed into a big roc bird, leaping down from the mountain, as if out of thin air, he turned into a flying arrow and flew towards the river.

When he was about to fall into the river, Gu Dan suddenly stopped, and lightly stepped on the rushing water, like a weightless feather.

The big hand condensed with zhenqi moved towards it, stirring up some water waves, and did not stagnate for too long. The next moment, it turned back with the thing grasped by the big hand with zhenqi.

Everyone had no time to be amazed by Gu Dan's strength shown in this effort, and their eyes fell on the thing that was grasped by the powerful hands.

That's a dead body!

To be precise, it should be a corpse swollen with blisters and slightly cut open by various unknown things.

If you really want to look carefully, I am afraid that people will spit out all the food they just ate.

Fortunately, several people are very human, and they can still bear the discomfort in their hearts and watch them for a while.

"This person has been in the water for at least four days."

Gu Dan glanced at it, and immediately said firmly.

In any case, he was born in a hospital, and he has read a lot of medical books, so he is quite sure about judging these things.

"Look at his clothes, this is Huang Tianjun's outfit!"

The Holy Maiden of the White Lotus was the first to determine the camp of the corpse.

"Huang Tianjun?"

Gu Dan nodded slightly, turned the man around with his powerful hands, and came to a conclusion, "There are no obvious injuries on the body, and some wounds and ulcers caused by blunt instruments are also caused by the long time of tossing in the water. Injured by stones, sand and branches. The person must have been swept away by a sudden current and drowned alive in the water."

"If we calculate the time of the flood according to the time when he died in the water, wouldn't that mean that a certain place was affected four days ago? So far in four days, Huang Tianjun can't be Huayuankou, right?!"

Wang Mang muttered to himself, startled.

"Huayuankou?"

Gu Dan looked around.

"Huayuankou was originally the place where the Yuanhe River changed course. It is one of the largest ferry crossings in Yuzhou. It stretches for dozens of miles. It looks like an ocean at first glance, so it is called Yuankou, which means that all the water flowing into Yuzhou from the Yuanhe River comes from From there, Yangzhou and Yuzhou also conduct shipping trade through Huayuankou, which is a crucial place.

The people of the imperial court will repair and reinforce such a place that is so related to the lifeline of a state every year, and absolutely dare not have the slightest problem.The flood in Zongming's 22nd year was nothing compared to Huayuankou. "

The Holy Maiden of the White Lotus immediately helped to answer.

"It should be impossible! There are many embankments at Huayuankou, and the materials are solid. The depth of the root stone is nearly ten feet! There are more than a hundred embankments and revetments. How can it be said that it will collapse?"

Wang Mang shook his head again and again, not agreeing with this possibility.

Are you kidding me, if Huayuankou collapsed, wouldn't that mean that half of Yuzhou would be affected?
The consequences of this matter are completely unimaginable!

"Huayuan Mouth Flooding"

Gu Dan frowned deeply, and a bad premonition emerged in his heart.

He had written a letter to Mo Qiu before he came, and judging from the time, Mo Qiu should have heard from him anyway.

Now, where is Mo Qiu? !
There was a sudden "click" in my heart.

Huayuankou Huayuankou Huayuankou.
Gu Dan's face suddenly became extremely ugly, staring at the rolling mud and sand in front of him, his fists were unconsciously clenched together.

His changes were naturally seen by everyone, Wang Mang secretly took a breath, and said cautiously: "Brother Gu, I may be talking nonsense."

"You gather the victims here, and when the flood recedes, you can control it, and if you can't control it, try to save people. I'll go to Huayuankou to have a look first!"

Gu Dan's eyes were slightly cold, and before anyone could speak, he galloped down from the top of the mountain like a roc.

The turbulent sand and water were still washing away, and his soles of his feet lightly tapped on the water, walking against the waves, stepping on the waves like flying.

In just an instant, it was gone.

"This"

Wang Mang was a little dazed, and several people on the mountain looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

As far as the eye can see, it is all mud and water.

The further you go, the more you can see how serious the flood disaster is.

If there was some expectation in his heart before, after running on the water for a period of time, Gu Dan can almost say with certainty that this is definitely a big collapse of the dam.

The swift and violent current swept away everything, making the whole world appear dark and difficult to see, with no dry shore to be seen at a glance.

The sky and the earth seem to have fallen into the rolling sand, and the endless sound of water is everywhere.

Something in my heart became heavier and heavier, and Gu Dan's speed became faster and faster.

The pure white qi streaked across the air, and his figure was flying over the flood like a shooting star. The mud, sand and water flowing below were forcibly split into a gully-shaped gap by the air flow driven by the violent zhenqi. Texture, with a starting point of smoke.

It's just that compared with the filth all over the place, a little mist disappeared in the blink of an eye, and there was no sound in it, and the muddy water covered everything again.

I don't know how long I have been running forward, but at a certain moment, there are dense raindrops falling in front of me!

Yuzhou is very big. Even in the same place, it is normal for one place to be sunny and one place to be thunderstorm.

Dazzling thunder slashed down continuously between the sky and the earth, and occasionally everything around was illuminated brightly, as bright as day.

The further forward, the faster the flood below. Gu Dan found several corpses while running forward.

Fortunately, there were no Mozhe among those corpses—after all, Mozhe was wearing short brown clothes, so they were easily recognizable in this season.

But this slight joy did not last long.

After breaking into the windy and windy place, it didn't take long for Gu Dan to see a lonely hill.

There are some ants-like people moving on it.

Without any hesitation, Gu Dan rushed directly towards the mountain.

The bright white light was particularly conspicuous in the stormy world, and the people on the mountain also noticed him.

"Inkist?"

When he got close to the hill, Gu Dan saw several Mozhe at a glance, the physique, the blood, the clothes, you can tell it at a glance.

"I don't know who you are?!"

The oldest Mohist stepped forward, sizing up Gu Dan with surprise in his eyes.

This person's true energy is like a rainbow, he walks on water, he is as fast as a shooting star, he looks like an immortal, his cultivation is probably at the top of the realm, but it is strange to his eyes!
"Where is Mo Qiu? I had an appointment with him."

Gu Dan took a glance and found that Mo Qiu was not among these people, so he asked immediately.

"It turned out to be Juzi's friend."

The elder Mohist cupped his hands slightly, and said without any nonsense: "A few days ago, Juzi and we were helping to guide the people who fled from Yuzhou and Yangzhou. , have not returned yet.”

Facing the flood alone, he has never returned.
"How long have you been there?"

As if he had been hit hard in the heart, Gu Dan's face sank like water, and he asked in a cold voice.

"It's been more than five days now."

The inkman replied immediately.

More than five days, plus the time he spent on the road, was about the same as the death time of the corpse he fished out of the river.

He was right in his judgment.

"For five days, no news?"

Gu Dan gritted his teeth and asked.

"no!"

The inkman shook his head helplessly and said: "Such a swift and violent flood, even those who have mastered viscera, can't resist it. Only the master can come and go freely. We have no choice but to wait."

The impact of the flood is absolutely unbearable for ordinary people, not to mention the mud, sand, stones and even broken wood hidden in the water.

Sailing against the current can be used to persuade people, but it is also an established fact.

In front of the mighty power of the world, individuals seem so insignificant, only martial arts masters can go upstream under such circumstances, but they can't change anything.

"Is it Huayuankou?"

Gu Dan asked abruptly.

The ink man was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly, "It should be of such a scale."

"Farewell!"

Without saying anything more, Gu Dan started on his way again.

The pure white qi defied the strong wind, broke through the heavy rain, and swung the water. The film didn't stop for a moment, but the speed became faster and faster, and the water waves were thrown high by Zhang Xu behind him.

Vaguely, under the mud and sand everywhere, it seems that some huge monster is slapping the yellow sand and muddy water, and it is about to be born.

Everything was left behind. In such a sky, I couldn't tell the specific time, and I didn't know how long I had been running forward. It seemed that the scene of the sea was finally a little different.

There is a high raised embankment in front of it, like a giant submerged in the flood raised its arms enough to support the sky, leaving an isolated island in this wanton ocean.

On the other side of the isolated island, the current has swallowed everything up, as if falling into a bottomless vortex, with no sun to speak of.

Huayuankou, here we come.

At first glance, there was no one there.

In this situation, Gu worried secretly heaved a sigh of relief, only a little expectation rose in his heart.

It shouldn't be too late.

He galloped away without any pause, and the dam that was still far away before had arrived in an instant.

Gu Dan's face froze instantly.

On the rather thick embankment, there are numerous cracks that look like spider webs, and there are also engravings that look like sharp swords.

That is the trace of the battle.

It belongs to the traces of the martial arts master after the battle.

There used to be a master who fought here.

Gu Dan landed on the embankment, his gaze completely sank.

He walked towards the place where the battle was fought, and there were dark red blood stains on the ground. Even the rain could not erase the bright red color, as if it was still full of vitality.

At the end of his line of sight, he saw a small tomb.

The small tomb looked so out of place on the embankment, neither fish nor fowl.

And in front of the tomb, there is also a stone tablet that is not very flat, it should be cut directly from the embankment, standing there silently.

[Mohist giant, the tomb of Moqiu]

When his eyes touched the eight characters on the stele, Gu Dan stood there frozen as if struck by lightning.

Thousands of emotions flooded into my heart at the same time, but my mind was emptied.

transfixed.

There are thousands of regrets in the world, and silence hurts the most.
