"Boy, they just mentioned the water tribe's vanguard. Isn't it the white dragon? If we follow them, we will definitely find the ghost tribe's vanguard."
Xiaowo lowered her voice and said.
In this ancient city, streets and alleys crisscrossed each other. The two of them were unfamiliar with the place. For a while, they really lost sight of Yang Jiao.
"Um."
Chen Shaojun nodded and agreed with Xiaowo's opinion:
"But there's no need to go to such trouble."
Before the voice fell, swish, swish, swish, Chen Shaojun flicked his wrist, and a flying sword immediately burst out. Chen Shaojun poured the thick energy of the earth's veins into the long sword, and these long swords immediately weighed over the mountains.
The power surged.
Tsk-tsk-tsk, I saw a few flashes of cold light. This was the vicious Shui Tribe. Before they even had time to react, Chen Shaojun's flying sword directly pierced through the vital points of their bodies, and they were all frozen there, unable to move.
Bang bang bang, in less than a second, the escorting aquatics fell down one after another like wooden piles.
"!!!"
Xiaoshuai was stunned.
"You brat, don't you think I'm right? What's going on?"
However, before it could question him, wow, there was just a splash of water, and Chen Shaojun had already shot out like a swimming fish. He walked out from the place where the two were hiding and headed towards the detained Shui Tribe.
.
"Brat."
Xiaowo cursed secretly and immediately followed him from his hiding place.
In the distance, as several elite soldiers of the Shui Tribe fell to the ground, the old and young of the Shui Tribe were in a panic. They were completely confused about the situation. When they saw Chen Shaojun suddenly emerging from the darkness, everyone was panicked, as if they were afraid that Chen Shaojun would kill those people.
Kill them like the water tribe.
"Yes, it's human!"
Suddenly, someone shouted.
These aquariums have been living with humans for a long time and are very familiar with human scents and tastes.
"Don't panic, everyone, this young master is here to help us."
At this moment, among the detained Shui tribe elders and children, an old man who looked like a highly respected gray-clothed Shui tribe suddenly said.
As soon as he opened his mouth, all the water tribes who were originally in a panic suddenly became quiet and all looked at the old man in gray in front of them.
The latter had a calm expression and sharp eyes. When he saw Chen Shaojun approaching, he just straightened his robes and walked forward calmly.
"Looking at the handsome appearance of the young master, he has an elegant temperament and a literary spirit. He should be a Confucian and Taoist, right? The old man Lin Zhongzheng once attended the lectures of Master Hongdaolin, a great scholar in Jiangnan. He has read some scriptures and has some spiritual understanding.
I’m here to meet you, Sir.”
This old man has a graceful demeanor, neither humble nor arrogant. Even Chen Shaojun couldn't help but show a look of surprise when he saw this.
"I'm sorry, it's my classmate."
Chen Shaojun bowed and returned the salute.
Regardless of whether they are human race or water race, if they have learned the etiquette, education, and scriptures, they cannot simply be distinguished as water race or human race. What's more, this old man from the water race used to listen to the Confucian disciples, and his knowledge is probably better than
Many humans are still taller.
Bang bang, Chen Shaojun flicked his fingers, and a stream of finger energy flew out, immediately shattering the shackles and torture instruments on these people.
"Old sir, there have been floods in Jiangnan before, but they were generally within control. Why are they so violent this time? And I heard several people mention Shuifu Lord. What is going on?"
Chen Shaojun spoke politely and treated each other with courtesy, but as soon as his voice fell, the eyes of the Shui tribes behind him clearly showed a gloomy look, especially when the words "Shuifujun" came out, everyone's eyes showed a hint of sadness.
"It's a long story. The young master's ability to enter here must be related to the flood."
The old man from the water tribe sighed:
"The issue of floods in the south of the Yangtze River is actually a long story. Floods occur every few years. This is a rule set by our ancestors."
"Why is this? Is there such a rule?"
What the old man in gray clothes said aroused Xiaowo's interest.
"Who, who is talking?"
Hearing the sudden sound but not seeing anyone, all the aquatic tribesmen were startled. Xiao Wu didn't hide it, and directly revealed his figure in front of everyone's shocked eyes.
The old man in gray clothes from the water tribe also showed a hint of surprise when he saw the small snail with a colorful volute shell, but it only took a moment before he came back to his senses.
"In ancient times, a great flood swept through all the worlds, and the human world was even more flooded. We, the water tribe, assisted Emperor Yu in managing the water together, and introduced the water from the world's water network into the water realm. However, the water realm could not contain enough water.
There is also a limit. Over thousands of years, a lot of rain has washed away, and there has been too much rainfall in some places. In order to avoid flooding, we will divert it into the water realm in advance."
"Humans in the human world have been building reservoirs in response to major floods, hoping to avoid floods, but they don't know that our water world is the largest reservoir for mankind, but such reservoirs also have limits. So every once in a while
, all need to be released to relieve the pressure, which is the origin of the Jiangnan floods."
"This is a decision made by our water tribe and the strong humans in ancient times. And every year during floods, the floods will wash up the silt in the water onto the land. In this way, when the floods recede, fertile soil will be left in the future.
Thousands of miles away, this is why Jiangnan has a bumper harvest of food and is known as the land of plenty."
The old man slowly told a story about the past between humans and the aquatic tribe.
Hearing these words, even Chen Shaojun couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and showed a look of surprise. He only knew that there had always been floods in the south of the Yangtze River, which was a close concern of Dashang, but he didn't know that there was such a reason and background.
"So, wouldn't floods be a blessing rather than a disaster for mankind?"
Small wormhole.
"It's hard to say whether it's a blessing or a curse, but every time there's a flood, we, the water tribe, are always involved in it, controlling the direction of the water flow and trying to minimize the harm of the flood. If some orphans and widows fall into the water, we will still find ways
Push them to the high ground. These are what Mr. Shuifu taught us, and we try not to be discovered by humans to avoid disturbing the lives of ordinary humans."
The gray-clothed water tribe old man said.
Hearing the words Shuifujun again, Chen Shaojun's heart skipped a beat.
"Old sir, so that Lord Shuifu is——"
"Master Shuifu is the ruler of our Shui Tribe, equivalent to your king in the human world."
The old man in gray clothes said, and the answer to the riddle was revealed in one sentence:
"For so many years, we, the Shui Tribe, and humans have been living in peace and harmony, all because of Shuifu Lord's restraint. In addition, when the Human Emperor went south, our Shuifu Lord personally hosted a banquet for him. The word "Shuifu Lord" means that he is still your great merchant emperor.
It was given personally and has the official seal given by the emperor, which is equivalent to the governor of your human world."
"I remember that in the seventeenth year of the Emperor's reign, Lord Shuifu once left the bottom of the water, transformed into a human form, and entered the palace with hundreds of officials to congratulate the Emperor on his birthday."
The old man in gray clothes said.
"ah!"
Now it was Chen Shaojun's turn to be shocked. This king of the Shui Tribe actually took on this human form and went to the palace to pay homage to the emperor. This was something he had no idea about.
An emperor of the water tribe is actually related to the emperor of the human world, which is completely beyond the imagination of ordinary people. However, when thinking of the plum blossom goddess who greeted the empress dowager of Dashang during the Luyuan Poetry Recital, Chen Shaojun seemed to understand something.
In this world where humans, demons, and ghosts exist, and all kinds of creatures exist at the same time, the relationship between humans and other races is probably far from simple black and white. It's just because the level is not enough, it may be difficult for ordinary people to get in touch with it.
"In that case, what about Mr. Shuifu? This flood is far beyond the normal scope, and now it has exceeded the area of Jiangnan."
Chen Shaojun frowned and said.
Chen Shaojun's body was still on the steel building, heading south. As far as he could see, there were broken houses and ships everywhere, and the entire Jiangnan realm was about to turn into a vast ocean.
"Oh, if Mr. Shuifu were here, why would the situation be like this? How could we become prisoners and suffer torture? How could this city become like this?"
The old man in gray clothes looked sad and sighed deeply.
"It's because of Lord Black Dragon."
At this moment, there was someone behind the old man.
"Black Dragon Lord?"
Chen Shaojun looked surprised. This was the first time he heard this name. It could be seen that along with the floods in the south of the Yangtze River, great changes seemed to have occurred within the Shui Tribe.
"Black Dragon Lord is Shuifu Lord's younger brother. The so-called nine sons of dragons are different. Shuifu Lord is generous and kind, but the black dragon is extremely evil. More than a thousand years ago, the black dragon broke out once and devoured a large number of Shui people.
Our water tribe suffered heavy casualties."
"Yes, the Black Dragon is extremely powerful. He can control the sky, move clouds and rain, and his physical body is also extremely powerful. He can move mountains and seas. In the great battle that year, the Black Dragon was suppressed by Shuifu Lord in the Water Realm. However, not long ago
, for some reason, the black dragon suddenly broke out of the seal, and Mr. Shuifu fought with the black dragon to protect us, and then disappeared."
"It's no longer time for the Shui Tribe to be Lord Shuifu now. The Black Dragon is domineering and has conquered a lot of Shui Tribes. Yang Jiao is one of them. What's even more outrageous is that this bastard actually feeds on the Shui Tribe. In this city,
Many aquatic people were eaten alive by him."
…
Everyone talked to each other and told each other in detail what happened to the Shui tribe. When they talked about the black dragon and Yang Jiao, everyone was very angry.
"Could it be that Mr. Shuifu was killed by the black dragon?"
Xiaowo was anxious and spoke directly.
"Shut up, don't talk nonsense!"
"Shuifu Lord is so powerful, how could he lose to Black Dragon? He must be hiding and recuperating somewhere!"
"Yes, when Lord Shuifu returns, the rebellion of the Shui Tribe will be completely put down!"
All the water tribes glared at Xiaoshuai and said one after another.
Even though the little coquettish expert was so bold, he couldn't help but feel frightened when being stared at by so many aquatic tribes. He shook his head and backed away.
