An Rugu nodded and said, "Go."
No matter what Wuzhiqi's plan is, we will just have to fight back against the enemy with our own strength.
Ji Xing then said to the rough water with a serious face: "Since you have invited me so warmly, I will not refuse your kindness, so I will go on this trip."
"But I'm not the only one going. She's going too, and everyone on this ship is going too."
He was not completely sure that he could defeat Wuzhiqi. There were many talented people on this ship. One more person would give him more confidence.
The voice that sounded like a bell came through the waves and reached the lake surface: "So it's your servant. I didn't expect that you have become more prominent after not seeing you for many years. Of course I can do it."
People on the boat: “…”
Wait, when did they become servants?
Ji Xing waved his hand: "It's a new era now. People are equal. How can there be servants or not servants?"
The strange voice seemed to pause for a moment and then said, "This is very strange."
Ji Xing felt relieved when he saw that Wuzhiqi didn't seem to be very aggressive towards him. He tried to get closer to him and said, "You've been underwater for too long and haven't seen the human world. You're like a country bumpkin who has come to the city and doesn't know the new concepts nowadays. I'll talk to you about it later."
The mysterious voice was silent for a long time, and finally agreed: "Okay. Thank you very much."
Ji Xing said as if it was a matter of course: "Who are we talking to? Don't be polite to me!"
On the boat where An Rugu was sitting were Ji Xing, Zhang Tianshi, Wei Ye Ning, people from the Xuanmen sect, and people from the municipal government.
Everyone was feeling uneasy, with beads of sweat appearing on their foreheads.
It is said that the Lord of the Huai River hates humans and has a violent personality. Now that the whirlpool has appeared, the Lord of the Huai River may want them to meet underwater. Will it drown people?
For a moment, the fear of the Lord of the Huai River and the dread of the underwater world filled their hearts and could not be shaken off.
But this was the first meeting with the Lord of Huai River. They represented not only themselves, but also the entire country. If they didn't perform well, wouldn't it be a loss of face for humanity?
After some discussion, no one chose to give up and everyone planned to keep the appointment.
Even ordinary people in the city government who had never practiced cultivation did not think of retreating.
Before everyone could find oxygen masks, Wuzhiqi seemed to have no patience. The whirlpool became deeper and deeper, like a monster with its mouth wide open, swallowing the entire ship.
A reporter from the official media was sitting on the opposite boat with live broadcast equipment and happened to capture this scene.
The high-hanging water current seemed to have life, enveloping the large ship, and in the blink of an eye, it swallowed up the entire ferry.
The audience in the live broadcast room were dumbfounded, and for a moment almost no one posted any comments.
[This is the Huai River, not the ocean, but I saw another scene. The storm on the ocean is getting bigger and bigger. The lonely boat can't resist the huge ocean and is swallowed up without leaving any bones. Nature is so cruel! ]
[Please, is this the time to pay attention to whether nature is cruel or not? Now we should pay attention to whether Wuzhiqi is cruel or not! ]
[Underwater rescue is definitely not as good as water rescue, wuwuwu, I'm so worried. ]
[Reporters, please go down with us. I really want to see what the monkey looks like when it is trapped under the water.]
[But only the people on that boat will go down. Don't give me any advice. If the reporter goes down, what if he gets angry? ]
[Yes, this matter is so dangerous, you are not afraid to do it yourself, why let the reporters take the risk? How unfair! ]
However, the reporter, who was thought by everyone to not want to go, touched his chest and suppressed his excitement.
If the underwater talks could be filmed, he would have first-hand information, and his career would have reached its peak, fulfilling his dreams.
He stretched out his left hand which was not holding the microphone and was about to express his opinion.
But one minute after the voice was heard, the waves on the lake became more and more violent, and the boat on the entire lake began to shake. The whirlpool under An Rugu's boat became deeper and deeper.
In front of countless people in the live broadcast room, the ship that An Rugu was on was sucked into the whirlpool and disappeared.
Soon, the water surface returned to calm, with only a light drizzle falling on the water, causing puddles to form.
The place where the ship was was completely empty, as if the ship had never been there.
..........................
Guishan Underwater
Although the people in the city government were mentally prepared, they were still extremely panicked when they were actually dragged under the water.
Many people had the same thought.
Oops, they were only wearing the required life jackets and no oxygen masks at all!
This so-called King of the Huai River, Wuzhiqi, is indeed not a good guy. I'm afraid he will not stop until he drowns them!
But what people didn't expect was that the horrible feeling of suffocation didn't come for a long time. They twitched their noses and were surprised to find that the water didn't rush into their nasal cavities.
They seem to be able to breathe underwater...
An Rugu inquired about it and saw that everyone was panicking, so he explained: "Don't worry, don't panic. Now it seems that this is the same principle as the Water Avoidance Technique. You can breathe underwater temporarily."
When the government officials heard this, they felt relieved.
It would be great if we didn't drown.
The huge current carried the ferry forward. Like a submarine, the ferry moved straight ahead at a steady pace.
Guishan Mountain is in the water, the water is in the mountain, and the mountain, water and trees are connected.
Most of Guishan Mountain is submerged by sea water, while the upper part is shaded by green trees and has beautiful scenery. It is a famous local scenic spot and people often visit Guishan Island.
Little did we know that the beautiful Guishan Island is gloomy.
Soon, the ferry arrived at the southeast of Guishan Mountain, where a huge stone gate was carved out of the mountain. The gate was inlaid with gold, silver and jewels, reflecting the light in the water, shining brightly and dazzlingly.
This is the only bright color in the dim underwater.
The people from Xuanmen, the Special Management Bureau and the government were very surprised and stared at the stone gate intently.
"How was this excavated? It's truly amazing!"
"This gold, silver and jewelry is too prosperous. I didn't expect there would be such a beautiful scenery at the foot of Guishan Mountain."
An Rugu recalled the legends he had read before and explained, "It is said that Wuzhiqi proclaimed himself the God of the Huaihe River and built a Dragon Palace in the Huaihe River. This should be his Dragon Palace, right?"
Ji Xing had been here before and was familiar with the place. He nodded and said, "Yes, this is his Dragon Palace. In terms of prosperity, I think it is no worse than the Bohai Dragon King's."
Wei Ye Ning was also on the boat. After barely recovering from the shock of rain falling just after he started dancing, he asked curiously, "The God of the Huai River is a natural-born monkey god, and he is the prototype of the Monkey King. Why is the palace he built called the Dragon Palace?"
Ji Xing said: "I'm not a worm in his stomach, how do I know why he named it like that?"
The other people present had all sorts of guesses in their minds.
Could it be that Wuzhiqi worships the Dragon God and wants to be like him? Or is Wuzhiqi close to other Dragon Gods?
That's bad. One Wuzhiqi is difficult to deal with already, what if there are a few more dragons behind him?
As he finished speaking, there were bursts of laughter from inside. The laughter was like the sound of drums, echoing in this small area of water.
"Don't you remember? My wife is a dragon girl, so this place is called Dragon Palace."
People present: “…”
Just, it's that simple?
I didn't expect Wuzhiqi to be a man who loves his wife, no, monkey.
The ferry was pulled by the current, entered the stone gate, passed through the corridor paved with luminous pearls, and came to the magnificent hall.
When they saw the scene clearly, everyone's pupils shrank and they stood there in a daze.
An ape-like creature sat cross-legged on the ground.
His head was white, his teeth were snow-white, his claws were golden, and his eyes were closed as if he were dead, motionless.
When the ferry came in front of him, he suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were shining like lightning, a true pair of sharp eyes.
Everyone had never seen such a strange creature before, and they were suddenly speechless. No one spoke for a long time.
Ji Xing felt as if he was in another world: "Wuzhiqi, long time no see."
Wuzhiqi still sat cross-legged, looking into the distance, and sighed in a human way: "Yes, I can't remember how many years it has been. Before, I said I wanted to invite you to have a chat, but I actually wanted to invite you to drink, but I don't have any wine here."
He had been imprisoned for too long and had slept for a long time before that. The Dragon Palace was deserted and he had few subordinates.
There was no way to offer Ji Xing the best wine and food.
Ji Xing asked curiously, "It doesn't matter whether there is wine or not. I don't like drinking anyway. By the way, what do you want me to do?"
Wuzhiqi stood up, and the iron lock made a clinking sound.
Everyone was attracted by his appearance and came back to their senses when they heard the voice.
He had a golden bell on his nose and a large iron chain around his neck, which extended all the way to the back door and disappeared.
Judging from the direction, it should lead to Guishan Mountain behind.
According to legend, Dayu pierced Wuzhiqi's nose with a golden bell, put a large iron chain around his neck, and locked him at the foot of a mountain.
The image of Wuzhiqi in front of him was almost the same as in the legend.
Wuzhiqi didn't care about the strange looks from humans because he never took these humans seriously.
He dragged the chain and stood on the high platform in the hall, looking down at the people below, laughing loudly, with a very arrogant attitude: "I have practiced for so long, and my skills have become more and more advanced. Dayu and Gengchen must pay the price!"
Zhang Tianshi and others felt a chill in their hearts. Oh no, Wuzhiqi really hates humans!
And he said he had been practicing for a long time, could it be that his strength had increased many times? That would be even more terrifying than before!
Faced with life and death, Zhang Tianshi gritted his teeth and withstood the pressure, his eyes rolling: "Master Wuzhiqi, I know you hate the imprisonment of your King Yu, but King Yu is dead, right and wrong have returned to dust, please don't vent your anger on me."
"Why, Dayu has passed away?!"
Zhang Tianshi said: "That's right. As for Gengchen, we don't know where he is. Maybe he is in the sky. But I heard that many star officials in the sky are sleeping. Maybe he is also sleeping."
In the end, he just wanted Wuzhiqi to find his target for revenge. His target is dead now, so he must not vent his anger on him!
Wuzhiqi did not believe that Zhang Tianshi was a human being. After getting a positive answer from Xiaobailong, he sat back on the ground in a daze.
What? His most hated enemy was dead?
But in order to defeat Dayu and Gengchen, he endured loneliness and practiced hard for a thousand years.
If Dayu died, all his efforts over the years would be in vain!
Ji Xing didn't want Wuzhiqi to disrupt his life, so he persuaded him: "Although Dayu has the help of various gods, he is still a human being after all. Humans are born, grow old, get sick and die. Isn't it normal that they can only live for so many years?"
"In my opinion, that happened thousands of years ago. Let the past be the past."
As the saying goes, if you try to persuade someone to be magnanimous, God will strike you with lightning. Ji Xing understood this truth, but Dayu was already dead, so who could he avenge?
"How can this be allowed?" Wuzhiqi's golden eyes turned red, and he was obviously extremely angry.
He was the god of the Huai River and dominated the area, but he was imprisoned for so many years by the humans he once looked down upon. He lost his reputation, his wife and children left him, and both his career and love were ruined.
How could he let Dayu and Gengchen go?
Ji Xing was stunned: "Then what are you going to do?"
Wuzhiqi stood up suddenly, his mind moved slightly, and the Huai River suddenly rioted.
The water squeezed everyone, and many people fell to the ground. At the same time, the water level of the Huai River surged and was about to burst the dike, and many cities set up cordons.
Seeing everyone's horrified faces, Wuzhiqi smiled happily and said, "The reason why Dayu imprisoned me under Turtle Mountain is because I obstructed him when he was dealing with the flood. Wasn't his wish for the Huai River to be calm?"
"Then I don't want this Huaishui Anlan!"
"If he were still alive, he would probably die of rage!"
The Taoist priest and the government officials were as panicked as ants on a hot pan.
Zhang Tianshi covered his beard and sighed in his heart.
He was well-informed and knew the cruelty of ancient times. The theme of society at that time was not the struggle between people, but the struggle between people and cruel nature. The gods of that era were also extremely primitive and indifferent.
Wuzhiqi was a god from ancient times who had a deep hatred for humans. He was almost the most difficult god he had ever encountered.
He was unwilling to give up and continued to persuade: "You are now the God of Huai River, and countless people admire you. We should not be opposites, please think twice!"
Wuzhiqi's eyes fell on this unfamiliar human, and he laughed in anger: "You still know that I am the God of Huai River? If so, then you should know my past self."
"I am the Lord of Huaiwo. I have countless mountain spirits and water monsters under my command, and I sleep in a huge dragon palace. But what about now? I have been imprisoned under this bottomless Turtle Mountain for a thousand years.
He who does not take revenge is not a gentleman. Dayu is destined to pay the price for his decision! "
When he finished speaking, everyone felt extremely anxious and frightened.
Oh no, the negotiations broke down. Are they going to die for their country today?
The government took out their mobile phones and tried to send signals to the people on the shore, asking them to prepare for defense as soon as possible. However, the Dragon Palace was too deep and there was no signal at all.
Wuzhiqi felt that Zhang Tianshi was extremely noisy. Unlike those people in the past who were scared to death when they saw him, he became interested in humans and was willing to pay attention to them.
However, he looked around for a long time but didn't see any powerful humans: "You humans are really going backwards as time goes by. You don't have any of Dayu's style at all..."
The Taoists and government officials fell silent.
King Yu was a human king who could get help from many gods. It was too much to compare them with King Yu.
Wuzhiqi said as he looked to the right. Suddenly he saw something and his pupils shrank: "Wait, you..."
An Rugu's figure was reflected in his golden eyes. He didn't care about the dazzling golden light of merit, but only cared about the fact that he couldn't see through An Rugu's cultivation at a glance.
Having fought for many years, he has an extremely sharp intuition. This person is probably... unfathomable!
Seeing him looking at An Rugu, Ji Xing explained, "You mean her? This is my boss, and his cultivation is very strong. If he continues to cultivate like this, he may be able to ascend to heaven."
Wuzhiqi's eyes widened when he heard this. What? She could actually ascend as a human?
He was immediately aroused to warlike spirit, and jumped down from the platform dragging the chains, and the ground of the Dragon Palace rumbled.
His eyes flashed scarlet, his hair stood up, and he rubbed his hands together, "Human, I know you are here to stop me. Let me see how capable you are and whether you can stop me."
The other people looked at him with more or less fear in their eyes, but this man's eyes were extremely clear, without any fear in them.
This human made him vaguely see the shadow of Dayu.
Ji Xing thought it was not good. He looked in front of An Rugu and separated her from Wuzhiqi: "Wuzhiqi, she is the boss of the job I found in the human world. She is my friend after all. Can you give me some face?"
"If you want to fight, then come at me and I'll fight you!"
So far, An Rugu has never fought against gods. However, only gods can fight against gods, and no matter how powerful she is, she may not be able to defeat Wuzhiqi.
After Wuzhiqi heard his words, he was stunned for a moment: "I haven't seen you for many years. You have changed a lot. You can get along so well with humans."
Ji Xing said: "Time is changing, and I must change too."
Wuzhiqi thought about it and decided to give him some face: "Okay, I promise not to hurt her, but I may not be sure about others."
However, at this time, An Rugu said: "I don't need your guarantee."
Wuzhiqi was furious when he saw that An Rugu dared to refute him just like Dayu, and said, "I am the God of Huai River. Do you know that everyone must submit to me when I give an order? You don't have Dayu's ability, but you have the same 'guts' as Dayu."
An Rugu said, "You flatter me. I just want to tell you to stay out of Dayu's business. Do you know that the Huai River's estuary is gone? You can't create a big storm."
Wuzhiqi: “!!!!”
"How is it possible? How could the Huai River not have an estuary?!"
A key factor in determining whether a river is powerful is whether it has an independent estuary. The Huai River is one of the four great rivers in ancient times, flowing into the sea with great majesty. If the estuary is gone, how can the Huai River still be considered a great river?
"How could I lie to you? The Huai River's estuary is gone. If you don't believe me, you can search online for information or go and see it for yourself.
The Yellow River took over the Huai River and robbed it of its estuary. Now the Huai River cannot flow into the sea independently and has to merge with the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and flow into the sea together.
Wuzhiqi: “!!!!!!”
He turned around and sneered, "How could that bastard He Bo be so bold? You, a human, would dare to make up anything to prevent me from taking revenge on humans."
He was strong and had a bad temper. Hebaek always treated him with courtesy and never disobeyed him.
How could he steal from his house secretly?
However, Ji Xing slapped his forehead, frowned, and said indignantly: "I was just about to tell you about this, but you interrupted me and I almost forgot. The Yellow River took away the Huai River's estuary, and the territory you are in charge of now should be greatly reduced!"
He opened his phone to search for information about Huaishui and read the text and picture information to Wuzhiqi.
Wuzhiqi's head was buzzing after hearing this. He would never believe what humans said, but in his impression, Ji Xing was a kind person, there was no reason for him to lie to him.
Could it be that the Huai River’s estuary was really taken away by the Yellow River?
Seeing that he was deeply moved, An Rugu added: "Dayu is dead, but the Yellow River is still there."
What she meant was that Wuzhiqi's enemy was not humans other than Dayu, but the Yellow River.
She had observed for a long time before. Wuzhiqi was melancholy for a long time after learning of Dayu's death. It was only after a long time that he decided to take revenge on humans. Maybe he was just looking for trouble.
As long as he finds another outlet for his emotions, all problems will be solved.
For the water god, taking away territory is like taking away people's money, which is as serious as killing their parents. Even though the Jishui River has returned, Xiao Bailong still complains to her all day about the annoying things about the Yellow River God.
Similarly, Wuzhiqi would also not be able to tolerate the actions of Hebo, the god of the Yellow River.
As expected, Wuzhiqi gritted his teeth, trembled all over, and his hair stood on end. The surrounding rivers followed his wishes and set off huge waves, proving how upset he was.
"He Bo, he actually dared to do this to me, how audacious! No wonder I felt something was wrong with the territory."
"What's the point of dumping me into the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River? It's not enough to make up for me!"
An Rugu saw that his emotional fluctuations were even greater than when he was with humans before, and knew that the matter was settled.
She thought silently that she could only shift the blame to someone else, which was really unfair to He Bo. But even if she didn't say it, Wu Zhiqi would find out sooner or later.
An Rugu took out his phone, searched for information and said, "The Huai River didn't have an estuary before, and it was because humans artificially diverted the Huai River and merged it with the tributaries of the Yangtze River before it could flow into the sea... This was not done by the Yellow River God, but by humans."
Wuzhiqi was stunned when he heard this. After all this time, it was the Yellow River God who harmed him, but it was the humans who helped change the course of the Huai River and flow it into the sea.
The human beings today seem to be different from Dayu who imprisoned him at the foot of Guishan Mountain.
Ji Xing persuaded him, "Yes, Wuzhiqi, you don't have to fall out with humans. Instead, you can cooperate with humans like me. I was also deceived by He Bo before. He was even more cruel to me than to you. He directly swallowed up the entire Ji River and I almost died."
It was the first time Wuzhiqi heard about this: "...So what happened in the end?"
Ji Xing said happily: "I worked with them to revive the Jishui River, and the area they planned for me is very large, more extensive than before, and the estuary has also changed. I think it is better than before."
"Why don't you ask them to help you transform the Huai River estuary!"
Wuzhiqi fell silent, feeling somewhat moved, but then he thought again, his hatred towards the Yellow River God overwhelmed his inner desire for an estuary.
He thought for a long time, as if he had made up his mind, and then said seriously: "It doesn't matter if it enters the sea. If you can agree to one condition of mine, I will not vent my anger on you."
