Chapter 310: Water Palace Layout, People's Hearts Are With Me
However, he had just arrived and did not have real power.
The troops under the command of the Wujiang Water God are still quite strong, and there is no place for Gong Mengbi to contribute for the time being.
Gong Mengbi knew in his heart that it was not that he had no room to contribute, but that the water god of Wujiang River had not yet seen his loyalty and did not want to entrust him with important tasks.
To put it bluntly, although Shuiyue, a dragon with good appearance and high level of Taoism, is really likable, his origin is unknown after all, and it is difficult to gain trust. It takes a long time to drive him before we know whether he can be reused.
The way to break the deadlock is very simple... become one of the Wujiang River God's own people.
It is also called a pledge of surrender.
However, Gong Mengbi was not in a hurry to show himself. The more anxious he was, the more likely he would reveal his flaws.
When the Wujiang River Water God reaches the fifth level, even a pig can cultivate extraordinary wisdom, let alone a dragon. If it is too deliberate, it will often fall into the lower level.
He managed the image of Shuiyue well. After entering the mansion, he had frequent interactions with the original soldiers and generals of the Shui Mansion, and was able to learn some information from them.
The Wujiang Water God is a fifth-level Taoist master, and Gong Mengbi couldn't pry any words out of him. How could other water monsters stop him?
By inviting people to drink, eat, or discuss Buddhism, it is easy to get their private money out wherever it is hidden.
His illusions now no longer require the form of magic and can often reach the realm of God.
You can't tell that he's casting magic, but his every word and action is part of the illusion.
How could the monsters in the water palace resist his ability? He answered almost everything he asked, but forgot everything he answered.
The water god of Wujiang River only knew that the new arrival, Mirage Dragon Shuiyue, was extraordinary and willing to work, but he had no idea that almost everyone in the Water Palace had become his spies.
On this side, Gong Mengbi was making arrangements in the Wujiang Water Palace, while on the other side, Chen Xi and Fu Xin also started to take action.
Tangxi Dragon God Temple was once very popular.
Last year, disaster struck and flooded Tangxi River, leaving the people in dire straits.
Later, Gong Mengbi, Chen Xi and others subdued the disaster demon and quelled the flood, allowing the people of Tangxi to survive.
During the battle, Gong Mengbi and the others hid very well, and only Chen Xi used his dragon form to break through the clouds to fight, which was known to the people.
Naturally, the people all thought it was Chen Xi's achievement, so they built temples to worship him and offered incense to him.
Chen Xi did not slack off either. Just as he had hoped, he understood the way of the dragon. According to the law of the four seasons, he prayed for the clouds to rain when they should, and drove away the rain when they should. Over the past year, the weather has been good and there have been no more disasters.
Water and soil are the foundation of agriculture.
Chen Xi regulates the water vapor and protects the area, so of course he is more respected by the people.
There was a severe drought this year, and Chenxi did a lot of rain to provide disaster relief. Although it was limited by moisture and could not do much, it was much better than other places.
The people of Tangxi respected his kindness and efficacy and often offered sacrifices to him.
Chen Xi also has his own temple keeper, an elderly woman who was born with a pair of yin-yang eyes and can see many things that others cannot see.
Some time ago, the Wujiang navy attacked and Chen Xi was defeated accidentally, so the old woman took advantage of the chaos to escape.
The next day, the Dragon Temple collapsed and Chen Xi's statue was smashed to pieces.
Officials and two shamans from Jinhua spread the news that the Tangxi Dragon God was an evil god and asked the people to worship the Wujiang Water God instead.
Of course wizards have some skills, otherwise they can't convince people.
But what the people are thinking is unknown.
Now that the Dragon God has disappeared, who can resist the government, who dares to resist, who dares to resist?
Everyone knows that the sky is three feet high, but we can only swallow our anger.
Chen Xi's old temple keeper escaped and hid in a house.
This family was originally possessed by an evil spirit, which was dispelled by the old woman with the help of Chen Xi's magic power. The family took him in because of the old woman's kindness.
The old woman had witnessed the Wujiang River God's troops and dared not say anything. When officials and sorcerers came to discredit the Tangxi Dragon God, she could only hide and weep, afraid to be discovered for fear of being reported to the authorities.
The old woman was distracted and soon fell ill.
The man asked a doctor to examine the patient. The doctor recognized the cause but said nothing. After examining the patient, he said, "This is a heart disease. The mother-in-law needs to mediate it herself."
The doctor hesitated for a moment and said, "Mother-in-law, I don't understand the difference between righteous and wicked gods, but I do know what is good and what is bad. I still can't forget the day when the Dragon God dispelled the evil clouds and brought down light from heaven."
The family also comforted her: "Don't worry, mother-in-law, just stay at my house and wait until the storm has passed, and then we will think of other ways."
The old woman shed tears, with great fear in her heart.
The dark sky, the huge soldiers, and the bleeding dragon became her lingering nightmare.
The doctor had no other choice but to prescribe some tranquilizers and leave without asking for any money.
The old woman drifted off to sleep, but she couldn't rest for a moment. In her dreams, she seemed to be constantly questioning her: why didn't she help? Why did she run away? Why didn't she redress the Dragon God's injustice?
Who is asking her? No one.
One day, she was still having nightmares, but suddenly she heard a dragon's roar. The surging black waves in her dream subsided, and a dragon covered in blood with one horn broken appeared in her dream.
The Dragon God said, "Don't blame yourself. I'm no match for the Wu River God, so how could I blame you for running away?"
"I shouldn't have come looking for you, burdening you with your old age and making you run for me. However, I was severely injured by the Wu River water spirit. Without sacrifices, I am afraid I won't be able to survive for long. I dare not embarrass you, so a few wisps of residual incense will be enough to help me restrain my body and soul."
The old woman woke up from her dream, and it was still dark.
She was born with the ability to see ghosts and spirits, and lived a miserable life. Only after she was enlightened by the dragon god did she have a peaceful life for a while.
Tears welled up in her eyes as she climbed out of bed. As the white light of day appeared, she said, "I don't have many years left to live."
She made up her mind and began to secretly visit the people of Tangxi.
Chen Xi escorted her in secret, and within a few days, he had gathered many people.
People did not dare to offer sacrifices openly, but only offered sacrifices in secret using small statues of the Dragon God.
The mist of incense lingered over Tangxi and gathered around Chenxi.
Chen Xi's heart was filled with a thousand thoughts, but he suddenly laughed and said, "My suffering was not in vain."
Fu Xin sighed, "You serve as the water god here, benefiting the people. The people have not forgotten your kindness and are willing to take the risk of offering sacrifices to you at this time. To be a god to this extent is truly a lifelong joy."
Chen Xi collected these incense sticks and put them in his sleeves with great care and attention.
No matter whether he can stay in Tangxi in the future, he will never forget the incense tonight.
With the people's support, great things can be accomplished.
Seeing this scene, Chen Xi was delighted and told Fu Xin, "You can tell Mingfu and see how he sets up the plan."
