Chapter 74 Why not?

Changqingshan, Chengping County.

On the top of the mountain, an old man opened his eyes.

In the Fanchen Dynasty, some officials have the potential to practice cultivation.

If these officials who were allowed to practice cultivation had done many good deeds during their lifetime and were admired by the people, and if they were worshipped by the people after their death and temples were built for them, they could be canonized as gods of mountains, rivers and streams by the emperor.

Unless the dynasty collapses and the mountains and rivers change, the gods of mountains, rivers and streams can continue to exist.

Of course, under normal circumstances, most officials would not choose this.

Because no matter what, reincarnation symbolizes new hope. If you reincarnate a few more times, you may be able to reach the great path one day.

But if you become a god of mountains, rivers, or mountains, you will be bound to the dynasty.

And after the dynasty collapses, you will disappear and there will be no possibility of reincarnation.

Looking at the entire world, no sect can last forever, let alone the fleeting mortal dynasties.

But there are also some officials who are willing to become gods of mountains, rivers and streams.

Because who can say for sure what will happen to you in the afterlife?

It is possible that he will die in his second life.

Moreover, some officials are truly devoted to the people and cannot let them go.

This old man named Wei Yuan is the mountain god of Changqing Mountain in Qi State.

Wei Yuan looked at a stream not far away.

In the stream, a giant white anaconda was rushing towards the dragon-slaying sword hanging under the arch bridge.

The dragon-slaying sword flew out and slashed at the body of the white giant anaconda.

"hiss!"

The white giant anaconda's body was cut by the long sword, leaving several bloody marks.

"Zheng!"

The Dragon Slaying Sword seemed to be angry and stabbed at the giant boa constrictor's forehead.

However, she swung her long tail, knocking the dragon-slaying sword away and sticking it into a rock on the shore.

Seizing this opportunity, Bai Ruxue quickly crossed the arch bridge and swam towards Siming Lake.

"This giant anaconda has quite a talent."

Wei Yuan stroked his beard and nodded.

But this is just the first level.

There is more than one dragon-slaying sword.

Bai Ruxue swam across the arch bridge and looked back. Sure enough, the dragon-slaying sword had not caught up with her.

Xiao Mo was right. Just pass each level one by one and keep swimming forward.

After swimming across Sixian Creek, Bai Ruxue successfully entered Siming Lake.

When Bai Rushue was soaking in the water of Siming Lake, she felt the scales on her body gradually getting hot and the blood in her body was surging.

Moreover, his body seemed to be gradually getting bigger, and something seemed to be growing out of four parts of his abdomen.

Bai Ruxue recalled the lesson Xiao Mo had taught her before and realized that she was regressing to her roots.

At each stage, part of your body will evolve into a dragon.

Once you enter the sea, you will turn into a dragon, also known as a latent dragon. At this time, as long as you experience the Nine Dragons Mysterious Thunder Tribulation, you can obtain the Dragon Thunder Liquid.

Taking a deep breath, Bai Ruxue crossed Siming Lake and swam into Chunsong River.

"Why is this snake so anxious to pass the tribulation?" Wei Yuan said in surprise.

It’s not like he hasn’t encountered snakes going through tribulation before.

Generally speaking, the snake clan will rest for a period of time after passing each level.

This was the first time he had seen a white anaconda so anxious to survive the tribulation.

"Forget it, it's time for me to take action."

Wei Yuan shook his head, stopped thinking about it, and prepared to kill the white anaconda.

Indeed, this white anaconda seems to be relatively docile, unlike other evil snakes that cause floods and lead to the devastation of life on both sides of the river.

but.

If this snake is killed in one's own territory, her corpse will moisten thousands of miles, which is far more beneficial than the subsequent dragon rain.

“Boom!”

When Bai Rushue entered the Chunsong River, raindrops as big as beans poured down and thunder roared in the sky.

The water of Chunsong River keeps surging.

Huge waves hit Bai Rushue's body.

Bai Rushue was clearly swimming downstream, but the river water was flowing backwards, preventing her from swimming forward.

In Chunsong Town, every household stayed indoors.

Everyone looked at the lightning and thunder in the sky and the violent raindrops.

Everyone was terrified, as if the world had come to an end.

"Mom, why is it raining so hard today?"

A little girl with pigtails leaned in her mother's arms.

This was the first time she had seen such heavy rain since she was a child.

"Mother doesn't know either." The young beautiful woman shook her head and patted her daughter's back gently.

"Mom, Grandpa Wang heard that if it rains heavily there will be floods. Will we be in trouble?" the little girl said nervously.

"No," the girl's father replied, "Our Chunsong River was regulated and the Chunsong Weir was built over ten years ago under the personal supervision of Prime Minister Xiao. Although the rain is heavy, it can withstand it. Besides, the county magistrate has already led the troops there. Don't worry, my daughter."

“Oh.”

The little girl nodded.

The little girl didn't understand what her father said.

But the little girl knew that the old Prime Minister Xiao was very powerful. It was because of him that Chunsong County became a fertile land and she could have enough food to eat every year.

At Chunhe Weir, the county magistrate had already brought two thousand officers and soldiers from the county, carrying bags of earthen bulls back and forth, ready for battle.

"It's these projects left by Prime Minister Xiao that are so good!"

Looking at the surging river, the magistrate of Chunsong County sighed in his heart.

Otherwise, this rainstorm would really wash away his official hat.

"By the way, why did the county magistrate know that there would be heavy rain in the next few days?" The magistrate of Chunsong County thought, stroking his chin.

"Look, sir!"

At this moment, a county magistrate next to him shouted.

The magistrate of Chunsong County raised his head and saw a white anaconda over twelve feet long rising from the Chunsong River!

Thunder flashed, illuminating the huge snake head.

"Oh my god!"

The magistrate of Chunsong County fell to the ground in fright.

And at the next moment, the Dragon Slaying Sword and Dragon Binding Chain flew out from under the Chunsong River Bridge.

Everyone saw two illusory old men appear.

They are surrounded by the fortune of mountains and rivers and the incense of the people.

The two men held a dragon-slaying sword and a dragon-binding chain respectively, and stepped into the air towards the giant snake step by step.

The two old men are Gai Sanqiu, the god of Chunsong River, and Wei Yuan, the god of Changqing Mountain.

"Evil beast! Stop being so arrogant, I'm here to take care of you!"

Gai Sanqiu and Wei Yuan showed their Dharma images that were over twenty feet long and rushed towards Bai Rushue.

"Cough cough cough"

Just as Bai Rushue was preparing to fight the enemy, the sound of an old man's cough spread throughout the world.

“Roar!”

In an instant, a thirty-foot-long black dragon knocked the river god and the mountain god to the ground.

An old man in a green shirt appeared in the air, looking at the God of Mountains, Rivers and Mountains indifferently.

"Xiao Mo!" Gai Sanqiu stood up, took in the newcomer's appearance, and shouted angrily, "You are a mortal saint of the human race, a prime minister, and yet you helped a wicked beast escape the river!"

Xiao Mo raised his head, put his hands behind his back, and the rain soaked his blue shirt.

Between heaven and earth, only the old man could be heard saying calmly:

"Why not?"
