After that, the young men went to row the boat and hoist the sails with a mixture of awe and fear, but occasionally they could not help but secretly glance at the immortal's heroic figure and exclaim in admiration.
Others inhaled rapidly, as if if they took a few more breaths, the immortal energy from the immortals would float into their stomachs and prolong their lives.
An Yanxia didn't know what to say, but in the end both sides remained at peace.
As for the Snow Lion...
The cat fell asleep while rocking.
..................
..................
The Ziya River is a tributary of the Hai River. The river surface is only twenty or thirty feet wide, which is not considered vast. Rice fields on both sides of the river are far away, and undulating green mountains are in sight.
People say that the light boat has passed through thousands of mountains, but An Yanxia did not have such a mood. She sat at the stern of the boat and fished with Yu Qinghuai.
The passenger ship was moving fast, making fishing a bit challenging. But luckily, there were some silly fish that liked to chase after the stern of the boat, so she could catch them even without bait.
When I caught it and took a look, wow!
A giant creature three fingers long!
The fisherman was ecstatic.
After catching it, Yanxia painted it with paint and threw it down. After a while, she caught it again.
Yanxia picked it up and saw that the little fish was jumping around in her palm. The paint had not fallen off yet. It was the same fish as before.
Wondering, "Why is it you again?"
Yu Qinghuai looked back and saw that Xue Shier was still sleeping soundly, so he quietly came over and bit his ear.
"Senior, you are mistreating this little fish. You have already caught it four times."
Yan Xia was unconvinced, "Are you kidding me?"
Yu Qinghuai chuckled and said, "Does a fish have any wisdom? Why would it take the initiative to play with a senior?"
"You're not a fish, how do you know it doesn't want to play with me?"
"You're being unreasonable. You deserve to be punished!"
"Punish where?"
Yanxia threw down her fishing rod with an excited look on her face.
Here, two girls were playing and fighting, and the passenger ship dragged a long ripple.
The waves were shimmering, and a fish jumped out of the water, but was caught by a blue kingfisher and flew high into the sky.
After flying over seventy miles, we entered Zhuo County and arrived at the ferry crossing of Youzhou Prefecture.
At the port, people were coming and going, and the noise was deafening.
A monk in a khaki robe disembarked and, upon seeing the lively scene, exclaimed, "This is truly a land of blossoming flowers."
The two monks accompanying him laughed and said, "Elder Faming, there's nothing like this in Jinshan Temple! This bustle isn't even half as lively as in previous years!"
As they were talking, the two monks became angry and said, "It's all the fault of that flooded dragon."
Elder Faming smiled but said nothing, only looking back at the boat. A young novice monk came down from the boat, and he called out, "Jiang Liu! Come this way! Don't get lost."
"Yes, elder!"
This little novice monk has red lips and white teeth, and his eyes seem to contain a divine light, making him very handsome.
The two accompanying monks praised him, "This precious statue is truly complete! Our Great Tang will have another great monk in the future!"
"I dare not, I dare not. Jiang Liu has had a rough life, and all he wants is a good life in the future. He doesn't seek the reputation of a great monk." Elder Fa Ming smiled and shook his head, then said, "Didn't the governor ask me, an old monk, to perform a water and land ritual? The dragon has been on the water for so many days, and we shouldn't linger here. Take me there quickly."
“The elder is truly merciful!”
The monks exchanged a few polite words and then led Fa Ming and Jiang Liu on the way.
They had just walked a few steps after getting off the boat when another large passenger ship came in from a distance and stopped at the ferry.
A bright-eyed and graceful immortal walked down from the boat, followed by a girl in gorgeous clothes who was struggling to support a sleepy, cat-like little girl.
Fa Ming saw it by accident and was surprised.
"This is an immortal!"
He was still surprised when a white mist floated out from the forehead of the young monk Jiang Liu.
A guardian, Jie Di, quickly descended from the sky, unnoticeable in the crowd. Jie Di walked up to Fa Ming, clasped his hands together, and said, "Elder Fa Ming, that is a master of the Dao of Alchemy. I was just patrolling the heavens as a guardian and saw him conversing with a fish demon. I also vaguely heard about the dragon."
"This Immortal should be here to slay the dragon."
Elder Fa Ming sighed and said, "Thank you for the Dharma Protector's advice. However, the Water and Land Dharma Assembly is approaching, and I really can't leave. The Dharma Protector might be able to go and intercede on my behalf. It would be best if the Immortal could show some mercy."
"There are still many strange things going on. Although the dragon is guilty, he is definitely not the only one to blame. We need to discuss and find out the truth first."
Jie Di nodded and said, "I'll be right there."
After saying this, Jie Di walked through the crowd. He did not see any of the pedestrians, merchants, boatmen, fishermen, or even the two accompanying monks and Jiang Liuer.
Even Xue Shier and Yu Qinghuai didn't notice it.
Only An Yanxia made Jie Di feel creepy at the sight of her.
It's a Good Place to Cultivate in the Mortal World: Chapter 241 [When Enemies Meet, Enemies Respond]
"Greetings, Immortal! Immortal, I am Jie Di, the guardian of Jinshan Temple on the island."
"Very good, very good, great god, please don't be polite. Great god, if you don't go to protect the Dharma, why are you looking for me?"
"It's a long story. Does the Immortal know about the dragon drinking the white rainbow?"
Yanxia and the guardian Jie Di chatted intermittently, and the passers-by around them seemed to be unaware of them. The two of them were like a gentle breeze blowing past the tourists and merchants, and even Xue Shier and Yu Qinghuai were unaware of them.
It was not until Xue Shi'er smelled a different scent that he remembered: Where is An Yanxia?
The guardian Jie Di saw that An Yanxia had profound Taoist skills and her concealment skills were amazing, so he clasped his hands together in greeting and praised her.
Yan Xia said, "I know that Yin Baihong is the son-in-law of the Bohai Dragon King, but so what? Are you Buddhists trying to rescue the demon again? It's true that the dragon's escape brought about torrential rain and strong winds, breaching dikes and flooding fields, and blocking trade routes."
Jie Di immediately laughed and said, "The Immortal only knows to drink the white rainbow and move the water, but he doesn't know that the timing of this movement of water can be said to be the right time, the right place, and the right people."
"Last year, the various water lords met in Chang'an and determined the number of rain points for this year. The northern capital had the most, followed by Youzhou. This year, since the beginning of spring, there have been continuous rains, and the river water has risen significantly."
"And the Youzhou governor is a corrupt official who's lining his own pockets. The dams of the Haihe River, Ziya River, and the Grand Canal have all fallen into disrepair and are heavily silted. A single heavy rainstorm would immediately bring about a massive flood."
"How could he, the Dragon Lord of Bohai, not know this? Yet, he carelessly left the Bohai Sea Palace, giving Yin Baihong, who was already on the verge of becoming a dragon, an opportunity to take advantage of it. He has disliked these four princes for a long time."
In conclusion, the Dragon King of Bohai Sea did this on purpose, deliberately leaving to allow Yin Baihong to transform into a dragon. Yin Baihong's transformation into a dragon would certainly connect to the water veins, causing wind and rain, and the water veins would inevitably rise and burst the dam.
This is somewhat of a conspiracy theory.
Yan Xia questioned, "If you say that, then the dam broke, the fields were flooded, and the people were forced to flee. Doesn't that mean the Dragon King of Bohai should also be held responsible?"
Jie Di laughed, "The Immortal has been in seclusion for too long and doesn't know how precious incense is in the human world. The main responsibility for this matter lies with Yin Baihong, and it was Yin Baihong who was to go to the Dragon Slashing Platform. How much responsibility can the Dragon King of Bohai have? After a great disaster, the people of Youzhou will burn two more incense sticks for him!"
"Look, Master! Didn't the Governor of Youzhou summon my Jinshan Temple to hold a water and land ceremony?"
Yan Xia was also slightly stunned.
This Dragon King did something really great! Killing two birds with one stone!
The annoying son-in-law died, but he was still worshipped for nothing.
But this was only Jie Di's one-sided account. An Yanxia had seen enough of the Buddhist virtues in the past, and didn't believe them all.
He just said, "I understand this matter. I will consider the action."
Jie Di smiled, clasped his hands together, said "Amitabha", and said goodbye.
Putting this matter aside, An Yanxia, Yu Qinghuai and Xue Shier found an inn in the city to stay in.
The sea was still rough, so their inland passenger ship couldn't sail out to sea. If they wanted to sail out to sea, they had to find a seagoing merchant.
Miss Yu was quick-witted and asked around in the inn, and she found a few people. But when they heard that they were going out to sea, they immediately shook their heads and smiled bitterly.
The shadow cast by Yin Baihong's disappearance on these merchants was indeed deep.
In the guest room, Yanxia sat cross-legged on the floor, letting Xue Shi'er guard her. A golden light flashed at the back of her head, and her spirit left her body.
The trouble should end it.
If the dragon drinks Baihong and walks into the water, then if we want to solve the problem of sea waves, we have to start with drinking Baihong.
No matter whether he is beaten to death or not, we must find him first.
The Yin Spirit was not restricted by the terrain. She passed through the wall directly and reached the pier at the estuary in a thought.
The sea is not as rough as the legend says, but the many merchant ships anchored on the shore for repairs give us a glimpse of the situation.
Yanxia searched for a quarter of an hour, but there was no sign of anything.
Another thought passed through Youzhou City.
The Sun God, who was patrolling the city, suddenly looked up and asked in surprise, "What just flew past?"
After walking for thirty or forty miles, Yanxia patrolled around Youzhou City and even checked the wells in the villages outside the city.
——Maybe Yin Baihong is a hotshot, hiding in the well and becoming the Dragon King of the Well?
We worked hard from noon to dark, but unfortunately, we still got nothing.
But just when Yanxia gave up and wanted to go back to the inn:
On the water, a large ship was hoisting its sails, heading westward with the wind. However, it seemed unfamiliar with this area of water, and it ran aground on the reefs before it had sailed far.
At first, it was okay. The damage to the hull was not serious, and the boatmen were all experienced. They used wooden boards and canvas to patch it up, and the ship turned west again.
But before he could turn his head, there was a crash! A crash!
Several large holes appeared on the bottom of the boat, and water poured in, causing it to capsize in an instant.
Yan Xia pinched the Dui position with her hand and cast a water-repellent spell to help block the holes.
But when the power of the spell fell into the water, Yan Xia saw dozens of shrimps, crabs and fish poking at the bottom of the boat with their claws and tails, making a hole with each poke.
In the distance, a giant red-backed shrimp general was in the water, shouting, "Hurry up and get to work! The boat has sunk, let's move all our treasures to the cave!"
Well, it turns out there’s a monster causing trouble!
Yan Xia sighed, stretched out her hand, and conjured up a handful of mung beans and threw them into the water.
Splash! Many small waves splashed.
The mung beans soaked in water grew bigger and taller, expanded, and blossomed one by one.
When the crabs, prawns, breams, barbels, and carps saw the mung beans, a strange light shone from their lifeless, dull eyes. Schools of fish gathered around to eat the mung beans like they were competing for food.
The large ship on the water didn't know what happened, but the hole was suddenly repaired, and they quickly raised the sail and rowed to escape.
General Big Shrimp cursed from a distance: "You lazy bastards, keep on drilling the boat, what are you doing!"
General Shrimp swam to the side of a carp and was about to pierce it with his sharp tail.
The carp suddenly burped, and three golden knives flew out of its mouth. The extremely sharp blades instantly cut off the shrimp tail, leaving only a smooth incision.
Dangdang Dangdang!
The golden knife chopped on General Shrimp's back shell, and the red back shell suddenly cracked. He screamed in pain and ran away.
The big shrimp yelled, "Who is so blind! We are retainers of the White Rainbow Drinking Dragon King's family! This is the treasure that our king has set his eyes on. If you hurt us, you are slapping our king in the face!"
Yanxia dived into the water, clenched her five fingers into a fist, and the water around General Shrimp solidified.
"The king of your family?"
When Da Xia saw the real boss coming, he thought to himself that he was a Taoist priest with no sense of sight. He shouted, "Exactly! Kill me if you dare. My king will use your head as a sacrifice!"
Yan Xia said happily: "That's great, where is your king? Take me to find him!"
General Shrimp was completely stunned.
Not bro...
The big shrimp hesitated and couldn't explain clearly, so Yan Xia asked, "Are you really Yin Baihong's retainer?"
General Shrimp fell silent. He had only wanted to take advantage of the tiger's skin, but he had never expected to encounter a tiger...
He said aggrievedly: "Great Immortal, I just said the wrong thing."
