From the Carp that Brings Children to the Celestial Officials

Chapter 71: Prayer for Water to Relieve Disasters (Please read on!)
The sky was overcast, and the rain continued. The trees on Yuanling Mountain drooped, looking rather disheveled.

However, this kind of weather is the most comfortable for aquatic creatures.

In the wishing well at the entrance of the Niangniang Temple, a yellow carp leisurely swished its tail. The cold water was filled with abundant spiritual energy, which almost completely healed the burns it had suffered a few days ago.

The little mouse, Cang Zhao'er, held up a small umbrella and carried a bamboo basket, occasionally scattering some fish food into the water.

The yellow carp opened and closed its mouth, and swallowed the spiritual food on the surface of the water in just a few bites.

These spiritual foods contained a faint spiritual energy and were made from a mixture of various spiritual plants. They also tasted very good, and the yellow carp ate them with great pleasure.

Compared to its tumultuous life a few days ago, when it almost ended up in someone else's stomach, this place is practically paradise.

Now it can be considered a fish with powerful backing. At least after witnessing the ghost soldiers patrolling the mountain, the cultivators at the foot of the mountain have once again experienced the power of Yuanling Mountain.

Not only was the carp spirit god very powerful, but his subordinates were also extremely strong.

The yellow carp was about to eat a piece of food on the edge of the pond when suddenly the water seemed to boil and surge. It was startled and darted away with a flick of its tail.

"Hachihachi".

A little white dragon rushed up from the bottom of the pool, excitedly placing its paws on the edge of the pool, its tail swishing back and forth in the water, splashing only the little mouse girl with water.

"It's been raining for so many days now. If this continues, all the villages around here will be flooded."

You Ming stood on the edge of the cliff, gazing into the distance.

Because of the continuous rain, there have been far fewer worshippers at the temple. These days, the number of worshippers is only about 30% of what it used to be, and Wu Mo is frowning all day long.

The ledgers are almost worn out from all the cross-cutting, but the amount of incense offerings keeps decreasing.

"Sir...sir."

After feeding the little white dragon some spiritual food, the little mouse girl hesitated for a moment before walking up to You Ming and speaking timidly.

You Ming raised his head and looked at the other person.

"My lord, I heard from home that many warehouses have been flooded, and I would like to go back and help out."

The Cang Zhao family has been guarding the warehouse at the river wharf for generations in place of the Shinto priests. If the goods are damaged, their family's ancestral job will probably be ruined, so she is quite anxious.

"Alright, don't go back alone. Let Wu Mo and Barefoot Ben'er go with you so they can look after you."

You Ming waved his hand. Now that the temple is deserted, there's nothing for Wu Mo and Barefoot Ben'er to do in the temple. It would be better to send them out to help out.

Cang Zhao'er was naturally very grateful, and then led the two away from Yuanling Mountain in a hurry.

Looking at the heavy rain outside, You Ming thought, "How can it rain so heavily even with the gods residing in the world? There must be something fishy about this."

"Meow meow meow!"

The Dreamfire Fox, who usually sleeps soundly, was squatting at the entrance of the Niangniang Temple, looking somewhat agitated.

Faced with such a natural disaster, You Ming had no better solution. He was a deity of the Cizi lineage, but he had no authority over the water veins, so he could only watch helplessly.

"Heavy rains are falling, and floods are imminent. From this day forward, the decree for praying for water to quell the disaster will be activated, mobilizing the power of water officials from all directions to quell the disaster..."

Suddenly, a "humming" sound came from the void, and the incense smoke rising above the entire Niangniang Temple trembled slightly.

The voice of the City God resounded like thunder throughout Changning County, echoing in the streets, alleys, fields, and rivers of the county.

"Wow."

The Feng River, which had been rising for several days, had overflowed its banks and was approaching the nearby farmland. The moment the City God's decree was issued, the wide river suddenly rose and parted to both sides.

An old man dressed in an official robe and carrying a turtle shell slowly emerged from the water. Behind him were four generals: a black snake, a silver carp, a green shrimp, and a red crab.

Further on, there was a continuous line of sailors, roughly numbering no less than five hundred.

However, each of them only partially transforms into human form, with most of their bodies still retaining the characteristics of aquatic creatures.

"Fengshui River God, quickly open the water gates and pour the river water into the Cangyuan River and Bibo Lake!"

A crimson ray of light flew from afar and landed above the Feng River, where the River God reached out and caught it.

In an instant, the radiance transformed into a document in the hands of the River God, surging with immense power, as if carrying the prayers of all people.

"Boom."

With a wave of his hand, the River God created three whirlpools nearly ten feet wide on the entire Feng River.

Amidst the swirling eddies, a large volume of water surged inwards. Meanwhile, hundreds of miles away, at the bottom of Bibo Lake and Cangyuan River, three cavities suddenly appeared.

A massive amount of river water, mixed with some silt, rushed out wildly, frightening some aquatic creatures into fleeing in all directions.

"All well gods and spring gods, transform water into streams and guide it into the Feng River; there must be no mistakes."

The voice of the City God continued to echo, and in the ancient wells of various villages, or in some springs at the foot of the mountain, some monsters such as eels, loaches, and toads emerged. They transformed themselves into poor and shabby deities.

Each of them channeled their meager magical power, guiding the moisture in the air to transform into trickles that continuously flowed into the Feng River, and then were introduced by the River God into Bibo Lake and Cangyuan River.

Because the White Dragon was also appointed as the river god of the Yangjiao River, he also received a decree to continuously gather the water flow near the Yangjiao River and pour it back into the Feng River.

At this moment, the power of the dragon race is revealed.

As expected of a born master of water, even a young dragon, as its body surges, causes water vapor within a radius of dozens of feet to rise, and even continuous rain is attracted to it, all gathering on its head and pouring into the river like a waterfall.

But the rain continued to fall relentlessly, the torrential downpour seemingly threatening to cover the world, creating an environment that easily evoked feelings of loneliness.

The little white dragon tilted his head and looked up at the rain curtain in front of him, where a lonely shadow seemed to appear.

The next moment, its pupils widened, staring straight ahead.

In the pouring rain, a slender figure slowly emerged, exuding an aura of danger.

The little white dragon looked at the other party curiously, wanting to get closer to see who it was.

But the next moment, the other party simply pointed a finger, and the water and blood in the little white dragon's body seemed to freeze instantly.

"Ouch."

The little white dragon let out a miserable cry and then ran away, but in an instant, spikes burst out from its body, piercing through its scales.

"Ouch."

It was terrified. What the hell was this weird thing? The dragon race were the ancestors who controlled water, so how could this woman control water more powerfully than it?

"Kakakaka."

The next moment, the water that was spreading around seemed to freeze completely, as if it were fixed in the void, and the little white dragon found that his body was also fixed in mid-air.

"Ow..."
