Chapter 322: The Four Ancient Rivers, Lord of the Yi River



"Uncle Chen, have you found out which river is the source of this groundwater?"

After a long silence, Yaoyao suppressed her emotions and looked over.

Of course, there was a reason why she asked this. The old Taoist priest had taught her that a mountain is magical not because of its height, but because of the immortals living there; a river is magical not because of its depth, but because of the dragons living there.

The dragon clan is born to rule over rivers. They can control all water. Even the masters of lakes created by heaven and earth are mostly dragon-shaped.

Therefore, it can also be inferred conversely that rivers with dragons will never be unknown, such as the Yangtze River and the Yellow River.

Their rivers come from Kunlun and have direct estuaries to the sea. The remaining rivers, lakes and reservoirs need to flow into their tributaries before they can flow into the sea. They are the true four ancient rivers and the water systems respected by the world. The remaining two are the Jishui River and the Huaihe River.

The source of this underground river is naturally not as good as these four, but it is definitely not ordinary. Yaoyao must find out the origin of his opponent.

After all, if it is a dragon like He Bo and Jiang Jun, they carry the great fortune of the human race and have great merits. Yaoyao can defeat them, but he cannot take action.

"You are really amazing. You asked the key question directly."

"After tracing the source of this river, we found out that it is one of the four tributaries of the Huai River - the Yi River."

Chen Qiushi couldn't help but feel surprised when he heard this. He had never intended to hide it, so he just told the source of the underground river directly when it was mentioned.

In fact, as the head of the special operations team, he was already familiar with the legends of the four ancient rivers.

Later, due to changes in the country's territory, the mouth of the Huaihe River had to be cut off at the request of the upper level, and the two major water systems even fought during this period.

The Huaihe River was no match for the Yellow River, and its estuary was divided between it and the Yangtze River. This also made it a true tributary of the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers from one of the four ancient rivers.

Of course, the Ji River, which is also one of the Four Great Rivers, suffered the same fate.

However, the Ji River is a river of gentlemen. The state held sacrifices there, and the gods of the two major water systems stepped forward to mediate, so the merger went quite smoothly.

On the contrary, the Huai River was no weaker than the Yellow River and the Yangtze River during its heyday, and its temperament was quite aggressive, which led to the conflict.

This is actually quite normal. After all, the dispute over the estuaries of the world's water systems has always been a fundamental dispute. Destroying the latter is equivalent to losing most of the power and merit.

Later, the Huaihe River Water Lord was defeated and its main trunk was merged into the Yangtze River and the Yellow River. The Water Lord even stayed in seclusion for hundreds of years, as if he felt completely humiliated.

The three major tributaries also quickly changed their destiny, except for the Yi River. That was because it was the king of the Huai River and was born from nothingness.

In human terms, the Lord of the Huai River is its biological parent. It is difficult for it to hide its anger when its biological "parents" suffer such humiliation.

Therefore, they took the people around the Yi River as hostages and demanded that the Yellow River and the Yangtze River return to their mouths at the Huai River, otherwise they would cause floods to destroy the people on both sides of the river.

Not to mention that this move was against the will of nature, the Yellow River and the Yangtze River merged into the sea mouth not for selfish reasons, but because of siltation in the lower reaches of the Huai River, the terrain changed to a suspended river, making it impossible for the Huai River to flow back, and its navigability was in name only.

In order to benefit mankind and improve the situation of the Huaihe River, they resorted to this desperate measure. So rather than saying that the Huaihe River is merging into the Yangtze River, it is better to say that it is "diverting the Yangtze River to the Huaihe River."

However, the water king of the Yi River was stubborn and did not accept the explanation of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River. And the power can be changed easily, which is not a matter of overnight.

It can even be said that once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. The Lord of Water in Yi River refused to change his ways despite repeated warnings. For the sake of the lives of the creatures on both sides of the strait, the two great Lords of Water had to forcibly suppress him.

"The body of the Yihe dragon was dismembered. With the seal of He Bo, it is impossible for it to be reborn. I don't know what happened in the meantime."

"Of course, there's no need to dwell on this now, because it really came out."

Chen Qiushi's voice trembled a little. You know, Yihe has a "domineering" personality, and he has been sealed for so many years. I'm afraid he has been full of resentment for a long time, and he might even take revenge.

Nowadays, spiritual energy is declining. The two water gods, the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, can no longer reveal their true forms, and no one can suppress the Yi River anymore.

As one of the four major tributaries of the Huaihe River, it has a large water storage capacity, covering the entire southern part of Ji Province and most of the northern part of Su Province.

Once an outbreak occurs, tens of millions of people in the two places will be in danger, and as far as he can remember, the only one who has the power to stop the Yi River is Yaoyao.

......

"This is troublesome. There is actually such a past!"

Yaoyao's chubby face wrinkled at this moment. Although she was very confident in her own strength, the ability to control water was a gift of the dragon race.

No matter what race the dragon is, they are naturally good at controlling water. No matter how hard you try, you will never be able to catch up with them in this regard.

Moreover, the Yi River Water Lord is the "son" of the Huai River Water Lord. Although his divine power is not as good as that of the Huai River Water Lord, the difference is not too big.

Yaoyao is not afraid of fighting, but is afraid of not being able to defend the land covered by the Yi River. He cannot control the consequences of so many lives and sins.

"Alas, there is nothing we can do about it. We have already arranged flood prevention personnel for several areas where the main vein of the Yi River passes through."

"If Yiheshuijun insists on doing it his own way, we will have no choice but to arrange for people to retreat and reduce the casualties to a great extent."

Chen Qiushi also spoke very directly.

He knew clearly that this responsibility could not be borne by the master alone. This was a disaster that would affect everyone and had been the root of the disaster since the sealing of the Yi River.

Now we can only pray that the negotiations between the master and the Lord of Yi River can go smoothly and that casualties can be minimized as much as possible.

When facing a 'god' who controls the river, it is not only necessary to be able to speak, but more importantly, "strength". Only with the strength of arm wrestling can some things be discussed.

Otherwise, they will only be beaten.

"Then just go, Brother Qi, I won't go back with you!"

Yaoyao knows the priorities of things. Before the Yihe Water King is actually born, she has to make preparations in advance to ensure that she hits the target with one strike.

It is the real root of the problem. Once you take it down, all the troubles will be solved. This is what the old Taoist priest said: Capture the leader first.

"Go ahead, and be careful." Gu Yu also understood that human life was at stake, so he took over his sister's luggage so that it would not be inconvenient for someone else to carry it.

After Yaoyao let go of the luggage, he made a hand gesture with his free hand, and took Chen Qiu with him to perform the technique of shrinking the ground into an inch, and ran swiftly towards the scene of the accident.

For fear of not being able to catch up, Yaoyao tried his best to cast spells, and his speed was twice as fast as usual.

In just two hours, people appeared in the underground water where the dragon shadow appeared. Because it was underground water, the accuracy on the map was a bit fuzzy.

If Yaoyao wants to find the location, she still needs to deduce. This kind of divination and asking for directions is a small trick. She quickly calculated the direction and was about to head there.

The next moment, a shocking dragon roar resounded through the sky. Yaoyao's pupils suddenly shrank because she heard something wrong with the dragon's roar.

It was neither angry nor happy, on the contrary, the sound was faintly...painful? Or was it the howling of pain from inhuman torture?

This voice really scared Yaoyao. She didn't know what had happened to the Yi River Water God in the underground water vein.

But her sixth sense told her that it must not be a good thing and she had to do her best to stop it.

So, Yaoyao rushed towards the source of the sound without stopping.
