Chapter 208
208 "It's not a flood."
As the sea level rose again, he stared straight ahead, looking at the waves several feet high in front of him and secretly exerted strength. Xiang Jiannan heard his master's comment at this time.
He felt that what the old Taoist said was right, but he didn't know if this time would be the same as before.
Although the previous waves were extremely fierce, only the people standing on the shore were affected, and the eroded ground was no more than a hundred meters. Even if it lasted for a whole day, it would not cause any substantial damage.
It is far from the real flood.
"Keep an eye on one line."
With one hand behind his back and his right hand nodded again, he told Xiang Jiannan to take good care of Wang and his party. When he looked again, Gao Yuan found that his registered disciples had spontaneously retreated far away.
Wang Yihang was badly injured by the previous water wave. After he got up from the ground, he naturally knew what was going to happen next. He knew that he could not get involved in it and at best he could only watch the fun from a distance.
Since I can't help, I won't make trouble. The second time the sea water rose up, it looked more ferocious than before. Although I was far away, my heart was still shaking.
It was not just the king and his entourage that were like this, the soldiers who retreated with him were like this as well. Those adults seemed to be emitting white light, looking very mysterious, but they seemed vulnerable in front of the sea that was reaching the sky.
"The people in this area all depend on the water for their livelihood. Such a raging water has completely destroyed their livelihood. We thought it was a small matter at first, but after arriving here, we found that it was very strange. Dozens of lives have been lost during this period."
The voice was intermittent due to the surging sea water, and it told Gao Yu'an that Li Si had been very anxious these days.
Because he had not found the cause for a long time, the court later sent more people, led by the adults around him. Things became more complicated after they arrived, and he had to argue with them for a long time every day. In the end, it was still their Demon-Suppressing Division that put in the most effort.
I had not thought of Gao Yuan at first, but when I was corresponding with Lord Zhang a few days ago and heard him mention the old Taoist priest, I immediately thought of giving it a try.
"How many hands were lost?"
Hearing a sigh from Li Si, he asked again, seeing him hold out four fingers, Gao Yuan then looked at the people around him, the power of the sage...
Then he lifted himself up into the air with both feet, and his graceful movement surprised everyone on the shore.
This Taoist priest wanted to fight against the huge waves by himself? Just a few seconds after he was surprised, he saw another change. A human face appeared on the water curtain in the air, and the old Taoist priest who was about to stick to it suddenly turned around.
When he landed, he patted his chest to comfort himself, staring at the face that suddenly appeared, complaining: "I almost scared the old Taoist priest!"
"Since you're here, why didn't you show up earlier?"
A pale-faced scholar?
As soon as the human face appeared, he immediately thought of the pale-faced scholar. Seeing that the face formed by the water was not very clear, Xiang Jiannan thought to himself on the shore. It was a giant human face. When the old Taoist returned to the shore, his eyes had already opened. At the same time, the huge waves moved forward a little. In the air, several voices emerged: "Taoist, are you here to join in the fun again?"
"Who would run so far to join in the fun?"
It really is the voice of a pale-faced scholar.
When his master talked to him, he felt a little relieved. Not knowing what the white-faced scholar was doing this time, Xiang Jiannan felt that Li Si had made the right choice in finding the right person.
If it was the pale-faced scholar, things would be much easier, as they have a long-standing friendship with him in Ping'an Temple.
As I was thinking, I felt countless water splashes suddenly coming down, and I was drenched by accident. When I looked up again, I heard that the white-faced scholar seemed very happy:
"I was wondering why there are always people who are upset during this period. It turns out that they are the ones you voted for."
These words made Li Si's face look extremely unhappy. As he was not familiar with the pale-faced scholar, he could only listen and could not speak.
Where did the person they sent down come from? Where did this monster who spoke come from? "What's the reason this time?"
Not a drop of water could get on him, so he continued to ask questions, Gao Yuan's tone was gentle when he spoke again.
I had just received some benefits from the pale-faced scholar not long ago, so I had already thought about this when I was invited.
"I suddenly had some realizations recently. Once I complete this calamity, everything will return to normal. Don't worry too much!"
"But you have cut off many people's livelihoods!"
He looked up and said to the pale-faced scholar. This time, the master's tone was much stiffer. Xiang Jiannan felt that the conversation might have to stop. After waiting for a while, he heard the pale-faced scholar laugh and said a few words with confidence: "Taoist, what nonsense are you talking about? This sea area belongs to me. What does other people's livelihood have to do with me?"
The officials who heard this looked unhappy, and Lord Wang immediately took the lead, intending to correct the pale-faced scholar:
"How dare you! The whole world belongs to the king, yet you dare to speak so arrogantly in front of us!"
Xiang Jiannan felt familiar with the scolding. Just as he was about to express his feelings, he didn't expect that the pale-faced scholar got angry first.
"Where did this talkative person come from?"
As his words fell, the waves that had been accumulating in the air for a long time suddenly pressed down.
Please...you...collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠBar (Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\Bar!)
This time it continued uninterruptedly, so when Xiang Jiannan realized something was wrong, the first thing he thought of was to run, and before leaving he did not forget to pull Wang and his group behind him.
This junior brother was absolutely terrified, he stood there motionless, not noticing that everyone had activated self-preservation mode. Fortunately, you have a good senior brother.
They had not run a few steps when they felt their bodies lighten. When they turned around, they saw that it was the old Taoist priest who lifted them into the air.
The water beneath their feet was rushing violently, and walking alongside the three masters and apprentices were Li Si and the other adults.
"This is really a flood. Lord Wang, can you control your mouth next time you speak?"
"There is a time to speak."
"The old Taoist priest really loves to joke. Was there anything wrong with what I said just now?"
Keep pace with the water flow. At this time, he wanted to reiterate it again. Lord Wang's kung fu was not weak. Xiang Jiannan just lowered his head after listening to him. After a while, the ground under his feet completely changed color.
Just as the master said, the flood that was originally not considered a flood has now officially become a reality.
"What should I do now?"
Fortunately, the nearby residents had evacuated several miles away early. Li Si spoke with worry. He did not expect things to turn out like this. He was too lazy to argue with Lord Wang and the others, so he just turned his head to look at Gao Yu'an.
As soon as he finished speaking, the old Taoist priest suddenly stopped and stared at his disciple, as if he had come up with an idea.
"The monster causing trouble this time has a connection with my disciple..."
"Jiannan, do you mind filling the sea once?"
Xiang Jiannan was stunned by the extremely serious questioning. After calming down and analyzing the situation, he suddenly felt that he was the person that Tang Ning had held before.
Did you hear it right?
What a joke, old Taoist priest! At such a critical moment, you are still thinking about your own people fighting against your own people.
I, Xiang Jiannan, do not agree with land reclamation!
