The sudden roar made everyone turn around in shock. The sound of wind and water waves swept over, the willow bushes swayed wildly, and the rapid water surface rolled up waves and rushed to the river bank.
The river quickly swept through the entrance of the village. In front of everyone's horrified eyes, a fishing boat was carried by the waves and rolled directly onto the bridge. It was smashed into pieces. The roaring waves rolled over the bridge and spread to the fields below the river embankment.
"Oh, my crops are only sown with seeds!"
The white-haired old woman beat her chest, and the stout woman who recovered from the fright rushed to the village entrance regardless of her husband's pull. For a time, no one in the village could sit still, and they all rushed to the village entrance.
Fortunately, the terrain here is higher, and the overflowing river water has not reached the insteps of people, but there is already a vast ocean outside, and the fields, roads, and bridges are all submerged.
When many people saw this scene, their hearts went cold, and they sat down in the water and cried.
Xu Dazhuang was among them. Although his farmland was not close to the river, it was so flooded that he couldn't even see the field edges. He couldn't care less about Chen Yuan, who ran towards the fat monk over there with his mother on his back.
"Master! Master! Please do something quickly to reduce the flood!"
The village elder who reacted quickly came over to beg, but the fat monk had no ability. Looking at the waves outside the village and the waves in the middle of the river made his heart tremble.
"Two donors, this is the way of nature. I can't defy God's will. I can only lower the water monster that makes trouble in the river, and the water will probably recede."
Xu Dazhuang and the old man nodded repeatedly, cupped their hands and bowed, "Master, please hurry up and subdue the demon."
"Well, then you go with me."
The fat monk would not dare to run to the river alone. If he missed the mark, he would be swept away by the rapid waves.
At this time, no one paid attention to Chen Yuan behind everyone at the entrance of the village.
He frowned slightly and looked at the sky. The clouds were still dark with thunder, but not a drop of rain fell. It was impossible for the river to swell.
Unless there is a monster causing trouble in the mountains.
‘Could it be that I cast a spell just now and alarmed the monsters in the mountains, and they mistakenly thought that Xujiacun invited an expert? Then the flood was raised as a warning?’
Chen Yuan felt that this kind of behavior did not look like that of Bai Susu. Although she was a snake demon, she had no bad intentions towards Fang Xiang. When she surrendered, she just wanted to scare away the herb collectors, rather than really
of killing.
Looking at the crying villagers in the village, Chen Yuan sighed. As a mortal, he would never see such a scene. His thoughts went to the ox cart far away in the small courtyard.
"The divine power of Lingzhuan is borrowed from the water god of Fawu River."
Thinking together, Xiang Yumu's eyes lit up with Dharma light in the bullock cart in the courtyard. At the same time, Chen Yuan looked at the surging water outside the village and pinched the Dharma in his sleeve.
The rushing river suddenly stagnated as if it had heard the order.
Outside the entrance of the village, the fat monk carefully hugged his cassock. In the sight of the villagers, he was walking in the water to his feet, holding up his dharma seal and chanting words randomly.
"Mommy, mommy, whoever has good food and rice, the Buddha will appear in his house, whose courtyard wall is high and whose gate is wide, the Buddha will appear in his house..."
Mother, recite it faster, and leave as soon as you finish reciting it. If the water rises again, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back to the temple tonight. Those cattle and sheep won't last long in this weather. It would be a pity if they broke down.
The monk thought to himself, walked back and forth a few steps, suddenly opened his eyes and shouted loudly: "Go!"
The string of Buddhist beads in his hand was thrown into the middle of the river, splashing some waves. It was a pity to see the floating beads floating away with the water. Then he turned around, returned to the entrance of the village, and bowed to the Buddha in front of everyone.

[To tell you the truth, I have been using the Changing Source app recently to read and catch up on updates. Changing sources allows me to read aloud with more sounds.
"Dear benefactors, the monsters in the river have been saved by the mercy of our Buddha, and the water in the river will be collected in the next two days after receiving the decree."
"Master, can you urge the monster in the river to take the flood away now? It is impossible to save the crops now." A man who could hold on to his breath asked in a low voice, and the monk shook his head solemnly.
He shook his head and said, "The monsters in the water are also alive..."
When he was about to continue talking, a person next to the man who asked the question suddenly pointed at the river and shouted: "Hey, look, everyone, the river has slowed down."
As soon as he finished speaking, the other villagers looked around excitedly. Even the fat monk turned around and looked at the river. The turbulent water waves just now calmed down a lot. The slowing down of the water meant that the water level would soon drop.
'How come I don't know that I have this ability? Could it be that Buddha really appeared and gave me this ability?'
The monk looked at his hands. When a villager came over to express his thanks, the astonished expression on his face suddenly disappeared. He changed to his previous enigmatic expression and smiled at everyone.
"Dear donors, the Buddha's Dharma is boundless. The Buddha has sensed your pious heart, so he has asked the monster in the water to quickly cast a spell to retreat from the water."
"I see!"
"Amitabha, thank you very much, Lord Buddha."
Many people clasped their hands together on their chests like the master, and bowed their heads outside. However, Chen Yuan behind them did not relax his brows, and vaguely felt a demonic aura coming from the river, but it was well hidden.
, it was difficult to tell where it was on the river bed for a while.
'This demon is still a little cautious.'
…
The water was undulating, and under the turbulent water, the sand was rolling and the water plants were falling.
'Wave.'
A group of bubbles appeared in the water, quietly creating a circle of ripples, pushing around, and a long black shadow slid through the diffuse mud. In the gaps between the gradually falling mud, dense scales could be seen.
.
At a certain moment, the black shadow raised its head and looked at the twisted water pattern. It was a group of people at the entrance of the village, and a monk wearing cassocks in front. His thick long body moved, pushing through the mud and twisting towards that direction, surging.
The rising silt suddenly turned the water surface into darkness.
…
"Master, the Dharma is amazing!"
"That's right, if I have a surplus of food this year, I will go to the temple to buy more sesame oil money."
At this moment, everyone gathered here. Yellow dogs and black dogs from every household were also here, but they were restless, whimpering and barking at their owners several times.
Woof woof! woof woof woof!
"What are you beasts called? What will you do if you disturb the master!?"
Someone bent down to pick up stones on the ground as a gesture to beat the dogs away, but the moment he bent down, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the darkness coming from a mass of mud and spreading towards this direction.
"Hey, look what's in the water?!"
"Ouch, coming this way."
"Could it be a monster in the water?"
Many villagers looked over there and vaguely saw something under the water. When they got closer, some with sharp eyes suddenly shouted "Ah!"
"There are really monsters in the water!"
The fat monk in front also saw clearly underwater at this time. In the turbulent mud, there was a thick, long and bloated snake. He was so frightened that his face changed wildly, and the blood faded from his face in an instant. He hugged his cassock and turned around.
He ran towards the crowd at the entrance of the village.
The monk stepped on the water and ran over quickly. Before he could react, he was pushed back by several hands. Xu Dazhuang shouted: "Master, the monster is coming. Go and slay the monster!"
"I...I surrender..." The monk was pushed and stumbled back into the water. Before he could curse, the people at the entrance of the village screamed again, and then there was a loud sound of water waves breaking. The monk hurriedly turned around and looked back.
A smelly wind hit his face.
A curtain of splashing water fell.
In the monk's field of vision was a snake head that was larger than half of his body, staring straight at him while spitting out letters.
