Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 317: Dragon Walking Down the River
"The mind sinks into the Dantian and the Qi condenses naturally. The Nine Revolutions of Reincarnation hide the true spirit and the divine thoughts are restrained to avoid the secrets of heaven. The soul embraces oneness and guards the original purity."

On top of the dream platform.

Li Rui sat cross-legged.

There are words in his mouth.

This method is called Tianji Jiuyin, and it is a martial art passed down from a large sect in the north that has been wiped out.

It's not killing power.

Its only function is probably to completely conceal one's aura. Li Rui spent a huge amount of money and used his connections in the Marquis' Mansion to get it.

This Tianji Jiuyin is of extremely high grade.

The only problem might be that it is too difficult to practice. Even in the large sect back then, not many people could master it. Of course, these were not a problem for Li Rui.

Li Rui meditated every day, and was blessed with the enlightenment of the immortal in his dream.

Finally, there was success.

Li Rui raised the corners of his mouth slightly and let out a long breath.

“It should be invisible now.”

The true dragon spirit has always been a concern for him. Although the big dragon is dead, there is no guarantee that it will be discovered by other monsters. Then there will be endless troubles and he will not be able to sleep well.

Monsters are different from humans. Humans would be wary of his identity, but monsters would not care whether he is the Marquis’s coach or Jiang Linxian’s good friend. They would definitely pounce on him without caring about their lives.

Therefore, the true dragon spirit must be hidden.

As long as he hasn't mastered the technique, he won't leave the city.

Now that I have mastered the magical skill, a worry has finally been put to rest.

Dawn.

Li Rui woke up from his dream, and it was already dawn.

After learning the Nine Secrets of Heaven, I felt refreshed and happy.

open the door.

It was just like usual, eating and practicing.

This day.

The Qinghe River, which was originally calm and sunny, suddenly became turbulent.

Some fishermen downstream even saw a real dragon swimming upstream. The tourist boats floating on the Qing River were tossed left and right by the waves. Although there were waves, no one fell into the water.

A sharp-eyed person on the shore pointed at the surface of Qinghe River and exclaimed:

"Look, it's a dragon."

As the shouts rang out, more and more people gathered, and soon the shore was crowded.

Some people were even pushed into the Qing River.

It’s still okay for those who are familiar with water, but some landlubbers are in big trouble. They struggle in the water and sink to the bottom in a short while.

People who often live by the river know that you cannot jump into the water to rescue someone who falls into the water right away.

People who cannot swim will struggle unconsciously after falling into the water and will frantically grab everything they can, and the rescuer will then be dragged under the water as well.

So we have to wait until the person who fell into the water loses his strength before rescuing him, and when people on the shore are ready to jump into the water to rescue him.

An amazing scene appeared.

Those who could not swim fell into the Qing River and were washed directly to the shore by the waves. Although many people fell into the water, no one drowned.

Everyone watching felt it was a miracle.

For a while.

More and more people knelt down and worshiped in front of Qinghe River.

"Brother, a vicious dragon has appeared in Qinghe River and is causing trouble."

Tan Hu heard the news.

Hurry to find Li Rui.

One of the duties of the An Ning Guard is to suppress demonic rebellions.

Those monsters would avoid An Ning Wei as much as possible when they met them, but now an evil dragon actually dared to blatantly break into Qinghe River. It simply showed that it did not take An Ning Wei seriously and was a slap in the face of An Ning Wei.

To slap An Ningwei in the face is to slap Li Rui in the face.

These days, Cao Wei was ordered by Nie Siming to inspect the border, and Li Rui was in charge of Qinghe.

If something happened in Qinghe City, it would be Li Rui's responsibility.

So as soon as Tan Hu heard the news, he hurried to find Li Rui.

"Evil dragon?"

Li Rui raised his eyebrows slightly.

This is really a rare thing. A dragon actually appeared in Qinghe River. This is the first time I have heard of it after living in Qinghe River for decades.

"The weather in Qinghe is indeed far different from what it was back then."

As the saying goes, a deep abyss breeds dragons. The fact that dragons are willing to come to Qinghe River highlights the extraordinary nature of Qinghe River. Otherwise, how could it attract dragons?
"Take me to see it."

Li Rui became interested and immediately planned to follow Tan Hu to Qinghe to see what the evil dragon was like.

Wang Zhao and Yang Yong were also curious when they heard it.

The two men shouted at Liu Tiezhu in the backyard.

Everyone in the room ran towards Qinghe excitedly.

They were not worried at all about what trouble the evil dragon might cause.

This is Qinghe.

Apart from Yunzhou City, Qinghe's foundation can at least rank among the top three in Yunzhou.

With the thousand-year-old Earth Crane guarding the place and Nie Siming on guard, nothing can go wrong.

Since there is no major danger.

Of course I have to go and see what's going on with that evil dragon.

The people of Yu have always had some special feelings towards dragons.

Two quarters of an hour later.

Li Rui, along with Yang Yong and a few others, followed the crowd to the bank of Qing River.

I was stunned for a moment.

There is no point in this. The appearance of a dragon stirring up trouble is actually a scene of peace and tranquility. Large groups of Qinghe people kneel on the banks of the Qinghe River, each of them with a pious attitude, even more sincere than when they were offering sacrifices to their own ancestors.

"This"

Tan Hu was also dumbfounded.

He heard from his subordinates that there was a dragon in Qinghe River, but looking at the current situation, it seemed more appropriate to say that it was a sacrifice to the river god.

There was also surprise in Li Rui's eyes.

Just as he reached the river bank, the calm Qinghe River began to surge, causing the devout believers on the bank to exclaim in surprise. "It's out! It's the River Dragon King showing up."

Someone pointed at the whirlpool in the middle of the river and shouted.

The existence of the Dragon King in Qinghe River has a long history.

At least Li Rui has been listening to this for as many years as he has been in Qinghe.

When I worked as a groom in the Zhu family.

Once, a young son of the third master of the Zhu family went to play by the Qing River and drowned for no apparent reason. The old man of the Zhu family at that time insisted that the Zhu family had offended the Dragon King of the River and arranged for three animals to be sacrificed to the Dragon King. Li Rui still remembers that scene.

The main reason was that the Zhu family was very generous that time and we had a rare meal of braised pork.

But let me tell you, since that incident, no one has drowned in the Zhu family again.

The story became more and more mysterious as it spread among the Zhu family's servants.

Later, as Li Rui's horizons broadened, he realized that there was no such thing as a River Dragon King in this world. It was probably just some mountain spirit or monster causing trouble.

It's all coincidence.

The Yu State did have river gods, but they were all great monsters that had been ordained by the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Astronomical Observatory.

But there was no river god in Qinghe at that time.

The whirlpool in the middle of Qinghe River became bigger and bigger, and finally occupied half of the river surface, like a beautiful lady about to lift her veil, which was the most captivating moment.

The people of Qinghe on the shore were all looking forward to it, wanting to see what the River Dragon King looked like.

The same goes for Yang Yong and others.

Tan Hu was very excited and couldn't wait to fight with the dragon.

Li Rui's expression became a little strange.

at last.

After a whole incense stick of time had passed, everyone's appetite had been whetted to the extreme.

The surface of the river was gurgling.

Then I saw a creature with white scales all over its body, a slender body, and wings on both sides, breaking out of the water, looking exactly like the legendary dragon.

See the dragon appear.

Wang Zhao and Yang Yong's expressions also became strange.

Why does this Qinghe River Dragon King look more and more like the little white snake raised by Li Rui?
Li Rui was speechless.

Because the River Dragon King is the little white dragon.

He didn't know when the little white dragon returned to Qinghe from Yunzhou, and he was completely unaware of this.

But the Qinghe people on the shore had a completely different reaction.

"It really is the River Dragon King."

"Oh my god, I saw a real dragon."

For a while, the sounds of kowtows and prayers by the Qing River never stopped.

But see.

The "River Dragon King" swam slowly up the shore with its slender body, came to Li Rui in front of everyone's horrified gaze, and then lowered his head.

The true dragon bows its head!

Li Rui's reputation was already very high in Qinghe.

Almost everyone recognized that the person who could make the dragon surrender was General Li from Qinghe Anning Guard.

"It's Mr. Li!"

There was another exclamation.

These people all knew that Li Rui was a good fighter and was like the god of war in Qinghe. But they never expected that when the Dragon King of Qinghe saw General Li, he acted like a subject seeing an emperor.

Impressive.

A true immortal appeared in Qinghe!
Li Rui's mouth twitched:
"Okay, that's about it."

Done.

He said loudly to the people of Qinghe around him: "This is Lord Jiao, the real river god who has been canonized by the court and is responsible for guarding Qinghe."

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone suddenly realized.

Some well-informed people had long heard that the court had selected a river god for Qinghe, but he had always stayed in the Annan Marquis Mansion, so very few people had seen the river god. But judging from the rumors, it seemed to be a dragon.

Doesn’t it correspond to the present?

But for ordinary people, they would have no idea what ennobling is.

They just believe in one thing.

That is, Lord Li of Qinghe subdued the River Dragon King.

at this time.

The county magistrate also came with his fast-track constables and saw this scene. When he heard that it was the Qinghe River God, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master Li, I'm glad you're here."

The Dianshi was delighted to see that Li Rui had settled the matter.

If Li Rui hadn't been here today, there might have been a flood that had washed away the Dragon King Temple. It would have certainly been a fierce battle, and the county government would have suffered the loss and would have had to bear the consequences themselves.

Li Rui smiled slightly: "Master Zhao, tell these people to disperse."

Not long after.

All the devout believers on the shore who were reluctant to leave and looked back every few steps all dispersed.

An hour later.

The little white dragon that had just appeared in the military mansion was so majestic.

It grinned:
"Brother, do you feel very impressive today?"

Li Rui was speechless.

Today's scene should be the homecoming drama that Xiao Baijiao carefully planned, just to bring honor to him.

"Xiao Bai is really getting better and better."

Little White Dragon was very excited: "Brother, the big dragon died, and the Marquis asked me to perform the duties of the river god. I have been patrolling the river for many days. Today I arrived in Qinghe City, and I thought I must meet you."

Li Rui nodded.

The little white dragon had stayed in the Annan Marquis Mansion before to avoid being hunted by the big dragon, and Yuan Dingting had known about this for a long time.

Now that the big dragon has been killed, Yuan Dingting naturally would not turn the little white dragon, a river god of Qinghe River, into a koi in the pond of the marquis' mansion. It is only reasonable for him to release the little white dragon back to Qinghe River.

"Xiaobai, then work hard in the future and strive to become a river god or a sea god."

Little White Dragon was even more proud:
"With my elder brother here, I should at least be a Chijiang River God."
