In addition to being mountainous, Liangzhou also has a well-developed water system. Except for some areas in Liangzhou, most transportation methods in other places are by water.
Jiang Li used his sword light to find a nearby river, and using Shushu as a guide, he headed all the way to Shu County.
However, the further we flew towards Shu County, the worse the weather became. There was still sunshine before, but then the weather gradually became gloomy, and the river below became more and more turbulent, with angry currents lapping at the shore from time to time.
The river below flowed for dozens of miles and then merged into a large river. The current became more and more rapid, rolling with sand and sand, and it seemed that it was threatening to flood and cause a disaster.
"This is much worse than the heavy rain we encountered in Yuzhou before."
As soon as Jiang Li saw the water flow, he knew that there must be some cultivators at work, otherwise as it was approaching the twelfth lunar month, the chances of flooding would be minimal.
Eighty percent of it was caused by the water demon mentioned by the two Taoists earlier.
The demon cultivators of the Huaishui Dragon Palace are not half-hearted snake-transformers secretly raised by the Taiping Sect. They live underwater, and in terms of habits, they are no different from real water demons.
Once these water monsters cause chaos, they can cause floods throughout Liangzhou.
And now it is approaching the twelfth lunar month, and the weather in Liangzhou is definitely not good, although it is freezing cold. Floods at this time will push people to a dead end.
While I was thinking about it, I had already flown over a hundred miles when a loud noise suddenly came, shaking the river water and causing large splashes.
Looking up, I saw a building in the distance, with city walls standing tall. It was a city. The river outside the city was surging, and a huge body rose up from the water. It was covered with scales and horns, and its body was like a giant snake. It was a giant body.
Dragon.
The dragon made waves, rolling up waves several feet high. Wave after wave hit the river embankment ahead, colliding with a golden air shield.
Jiang Li glanced away and saw a figure wearing official robes standing on the river embankment. His whole body exuded divine power, with bits of golden light swirling rapidly, giving him a majestic look.
This should be the official here.
The cities of the Great Zhou Dynasty were basically built near mountains or water, which not only made life easier for the people, but also made it easier for officials to perform the Taoist deities of mountain gods or river gods. If foreign enemies invaded, not only could they use their divine domain to suppress the enemies, but they would also have the best terrain available.
That official should be the river god of the river beneath his feet.
As a river god, he should be able to control the river like an arm. However, the dragon also has the ability to control water, and his level is higher than that. So the river is used by the dragon instead.
The River God can resist because the God's Domain is here. If he wants to fight back further, it is absolutely impossible.
Even now, the river god has shown signs of decline, and the dragon is making waves, one wave after another, and it is about to break down the protection and flood the surrounding areas.
At this moment, the sword energy flew through the sky, the sword light transformed, and countless sharp swords fell like a heavy rain. The fierce force made Jiaolong forget about what was ahead and turned back suddenly.
"Roar!"
With a roar, the turbid yellow water spurted out from the dragon's mouth, rushing towards the sword rain like a mad tide.
In an instant, the sword light was seen flying back and forth, countless sword rain broke through the water flow, and turbid waves stirred up in the air. The sword light moved forward with almost no resistance.
Master!
The dragon immediately twisted its body and was about to plunge into the river.
Practitioners who can be promoted to the sixth level are basically experienced and know when to advance and when to retreat. Although it is a pity that he cannot flood the surrounding area and interpret the Tao and Fruit, he still decisively retreated at this moment.
Covered by the turbid waves, the dragon will escape through the water.
However, those sword lights surrounded them as if they had eyes, and the transformed swords surrounded them heavily, turning into sword wheels facing inwards, whirling and cutting. The dragon scales were like thin paper under the sword blades, easily
Tear apart, the sword wheel spins rapidly, and flesh and blood fly everywhere.
"Ouch——"
After letting out an angry cry, the dragon's body split in two, and a rain of blood burst out in the air.
"Bang!"
The two bodies hit the water, causing large clouds of turbid water.
And those sharp swords gathered into a river, folded in mid-air like a dragon and snake, fell on the bank, spread out layer by layer, and revealed a figure with outstanding bearing.
[Daoguo has made some progress, although it is insignificant, but for Jiang Li, any progress now is extremely valuable.]
【That means he is one step closer to perfection.】
[Floods are a disaster to others, but not necessarily to Jiang Li. He should not be far away from reaching the sixth level of perfection.]
Jiang Li's gains were reflected on the Cause and Effect Collection, and he could accurately sense that his Dao Fruit ability had become more harmonious.
"Thank you for your help."
The official who could hardly hold on anymore breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. He used the power of the River God Dao Fruit to stop the river water, then quickly walked over and saluted Jiang Li to thank him.
He looked to be about thirty years old, with a short beard and a high-spirited air on his face. He didn't seem to have solidified his appearance through cultivation, but he really was that old.
In the official circles of the Great Zhou Dynasty, this is generally synonymous with background. Those who can be promoted to the seventh rank at a young age basically have a good background. Otherwise, no matter how talented you are, you will have to enter the official system of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Work hard to gain qualifications.
"My Excellency Li An, as the local county guard, I would like to thank you for your life-saving grace on behalf of the county and city."
Li An thanked Jiang Li, then looked at the dragon corpse on the river, and sighed: "Due to the Taiping Religion, the governor has no time to deal with the flood. If it hadn't been for your help, our Luonan County might have been attacked by this monster."
The wave in front of us has not subsided and is still surging. We can foresee what kind of tragic situation it will be if it rushes into the county town.
Ang Lee seems to be very responsible.
"The governor has gathered all the people in Shu County?" Jiang Li frowned.
From the perspective of severity, this kind of behavior is correct. After all, the Taiping Sect is the biggest scourge, but from the perspective of urgency, it is completely inappropriate.
If we don't suppress the evil and floods, what's the point of targeting the Taiping Sect to death? Something will happen when it should.
If no one can live anymore, then all that is left is to rebel.
The Taiping Sect would probably die of joy when they saw this result.
‘Liangzhou is really full of sieves. No wonder it was chosen by the Taiping Sect as a starting point. I just wonder if the governor is from the Taiping Sect or someone else?’ Jiang Li thought.
If you can be the governor of a state, then in theory you must be a person with a good foundation in the court. However, the people in the court may not be upright now. There are still people who want to help establish the Huangtian era, but it is useless to have a good foundation.
"It is said that the King of Shu has an order to prevent the Taiping Sect from gathering people to cause chaos," Li An showed an unhappy look, "When things come to pass, I will definitely write a memorial and send it to the capital of God, and refer to the King of Shu's book. And the Taoism Sect, established
Zong is not upright, and this traitor has escaped the law. If it hadn't been for him, the Huai Shui Dragon Palace might not have caused a flood."
"After the floods subside, I will definitely..."
Li An wanted to say something, but an afterimage suddenly appeared in the distance.
A monk seemed to be walking slowly and swiftly, his steps were calm and his energy was not obvious, but wherever his feet passed, mud and water splashed up, faintly forming the shape of lotus petals, which was quite strange.
The monk only wore a piece of cloth, but he didn't feel cold at all in this cold weather. As he walked a few steps, his scorched face came into the eyes of the two of them.
"Amitabha, it seems that the young monk is late."
The monk saw the corpse slowly losing its demonic form in the river and chanted the Buddha's name.
"Not sooner or later."
Li An suddenly became angry and said, "If it weren't for the help of a noble person, the dragon would have washed up on the shore. Master actually came at the right time."
When the water floods the county and the monks subdue the dragon, it will be a good story and a good time to harvest faith.
What Li An said is true.
The monk smiled bitterly after hearing this. He shook his head and said, "This is the fault of the young monk. However, donor, please be careful. Although the dragon is dead, the crisis may not be gone."
He looked at Jiang Li with a solemn expression, "A noble person is a noble person, but whether an enemy is a friend or not is unknown. Senior Li Qinglian."
"Li Qinglian?!" Li An's expression changed.
This name is not unfamiliar to him, after all, he just scolded someone.
Li Qinglian is free from the law and thanks to someone's blessing. Now these two names are completely equated.
When Jiang Li, who was wearing a waistcoat, heard the words, he smiled slightly, "Why are you here? I didn't have it before, but now, I have it."
