Moreover, as the water level rose higher and higher, the waves became more and more violent. Many adults were knocked down by the waves. Many people could only lean on each other and form a human wall to avoid being washed away by the flood.
Seeing this scene, the village head muttered: "It's over, it's over, Bixi Town is finished."
Fang Jian smiled and said, "Since it's almost over, there's nothing left to say."
Upon hearing this, the village head hesitated for a moment, then looked as if he had made up his mind. He said to Fang Jian, "Black Dragon Mouth was formerly called 'Black Python Mouth.' Legend has it that a giant black python, transformed into a spirit, lived there. Later, we often had floods here, and the floods often originated from Black Python Mouth. So the elders believed that the black python was causing trouble. So they built a temple at Black Python Mouth to worship the black python and changed the name of the place to 'Black Dragon.' That's how the name Black Dragon Mouth came about."
As soon as the head of the village finished speaking, a huge wave suddenly hit him and he was knocked over in an instant, but was quickly supported by Fang Jian.
The village head thanked Fang Jian with a pale face. At this time, the entire Bixi Town had been flooded more than one meter deep, and the screams and cries of fear from the people were everywhere.
At the same time, the surging flood surged with the waves, and even a series of dull roars were heard, like a buffalo roaring in the flood, which was extremely terrifying.
At the same time, the waves of the flood also showed the shape of snake scales, and the appearance of the flood waves was like a giant python rolling forward.
Fang Jian patted the rain off his hat. At this moment, except for his head and shoulders, his entire body was soaked by the heavy rain.
Then Fang Jian said to the village head, "This is a walking dragon."
"Walking dragon?" When the village head heard this unfamiliar word, he immediately looked at Fang Jian with a puzzled look.
Fang Jian nodded and said, "That's right, walking on a dragon. After a python becomes an immortal, if it wants to continue to seek advancement within a period of time, it will follow the path of 'transformation into a dragon'. To transform into a dragon, it must first 'transform into a dragon'. And whether it's a dragon or not, it must walk on water and enter the sea. Anyone walking on a dragon must enter a river from the tributary of the place where it was born, and then from the river into the sea. If there is any accident along the way, all the previous efforts will be wasted and they will have to start all over again."
At this point, Fang Jian stared at the flood before him and said, "When a dragon moves, there will be a flood."
After hearing Fang Jian's words, the village head was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Master, are you saying that the frequent floods in Bixi Town are because the black python in the Black Dragon's Mouth is wandering around?"
"Yes." Fang Jian nodded.
The village chief suddenly realized what had happened, but was also shocked. He had never imagined that the legend of the black python becoming a spirit was actually true. A glimmer of hope suddenly emerged in his heart, and he immediately bowed to Fang Jian and said, "Since Taoist priest knows all this, he must have a solution. I beg you to show mercy and save the over 1,300 lives of Bixi Town!"
The people around the village head also followed suit and bowed to Fang Jian, "Master, please have mercy and save us."
Fang Jian chuckled and said, "This isn't difficult."
After saying that, Fang Jian held the vine in his left hand and pointed his right hand at the vine with his sword-like fingers. A flash of fairy light passed by, and the vine suddenly turned into a copper sword about as long as an adult's arm.
Fang Jian pointed at the bronze sword in his hand and said to the stunned village head, "Hang this bronze sword at the bottom of the bridge, and you'll be able to block this waterway, so that the black python won't dare to escape through it. Once the waterway is blocked and the snake can't escape, the flood will naturally subside."
The village chief had seen Fang Jian transform a vine into a sword and was convinced by his words. Upon hearing this, he immediately took the bronze sword and said, "Thank you, Taoist Priest. If Wubixi Town can be free from the disaster of wandering dragons and live and work in peace and contentment, we will always remember your kindness."
After saying this, the village head turned around and shouted, "Bixi Town is saved. This sword can stop the disaster of the wandering dragon and subside the flood, so that Bixi Town will never suffer from floods again. Now, those who are willing to join me to hang the sword at the bottom of the bridge, please stand up."
Fang Jian saw this scene without saying anything. If he encountered such a thing, he would definitely help the living beings to eliminate the disaster, but there must be a limit to the gods helping mortals. It is the responsibility of the gods in heaven to protect all living beings, but all living beings must also bear their own responsibilities.
As the ruler of the Three Realms, Heaven has the duty to provide peace and protection for all living beings. However, Heaven is not a babysitter, and all living beings cannot be "giant babies"; they must also strive to strengthen themselves in order to survive.
The bronze sword Fang Jian conjured contained the power of his Thirty-Six Thunders, enough to intimidate the black python. However, Fang Jian had given the sword, which was his responsibility. But hanging the sword was their own responsibility.
