Chapter 124 The Saint’s Enlightenment (Page 12)
The 350th year of King Wu's succession to the throne.
The Xingyun Buyu Department, one of the eight departments of Heaven, received an imperial edict from the Jade Emperor, requiring it to rain for a month in Nanzhan Buzhou, the lower realm.
The Xingyun Buyu Department belongs to the lower four departments of Tianting, consisting of the Thunder Department, the Water Department, and a small part of the Fighting Department.
Therefore, Lei Zhenzi, the Nine Heavens Yingyuan Universal Transformation Heavenly Lord, sent out the Thunder God and the Lightning Mother, the Twelve Heavenly Lords.
Huanglong Zhenren, Lord of Water Destiny, sent out the four stars of Ji Water Leopard, Bi Water Dogfish, Ginseng Water Monkey, and Zhen Water Earthworm, as well as the Dragon King of Dongting Lake, Dragon King of Poyang Lake, Dragon King of Taihu Lake, Dragon King of Chaohu Lake, and Dragon King of Hongze Lake. Dragon King.
Boom!
A bolt of thunder flashed across the sky, a heavy downpour drifted down, and the sky and the earth suddenly became white.
The wind howls and the golden snake dances wildly.
If you are a successful monk, you can see many golden-armored gods faintly appearing in the depths of the clouds very high and far away.
There are also several huge golden dragons looming.
But it was the Dragon King of the Five Lakes who showed up in his true form, leading a group of gods such as Ji Shui Leopard, Bi Shui Mu, Shen Shui Yuan, Zhen Shui Earthworm, Feng Po, Tuiyun Tongzi, Thunder God, Lightning Mother, Shui Shi, etc. to spread clouds and rain. .
There were three major rivers in the ancient world, which suppressed the luck of the three realms.
The heaven is the Milky Way.
The human world is the Yellow River.
The underworld is the River Styx.
These three major rivers are countless billions of miles long and have existed since the founding of the world.
At this time, the Yellow River water overflowed a large area, like a vast ocean.
The sky was covered with clouds and thunder was rolling, and the sky over half of the Great Zhou Dynasty, covering hundreds of millions of miles in radius, was filled with cumulonimbus water vapor, so heavy that it was about to fall down at any time.
Continuous heavy rains for many days caused the water level of the Yellow River to rise significantly, inundating a large number of nearby cities and towns.
In addition, the Yellow River had many dykes and floods, turning hundreds of princely states into a swamp.
Densely packed corpses of humans and animals floated on the raging floods, among which many huge water monsters appeared and disappeared, churning wantonly, rolling up huge waves, and sending ferocious auras straight into the sky.
Some of these water monsters are covered with scales and horns, and their body length is unknown. They look like water monsters such as snakes, pythons, and giant dragons.
Some are as big as hills and can swallow up a village in one bite.
Tan State was a small vassal state in the Zhou Dynasty, with an area of thousands of miles, surrounded by dozens of cities, and a total population of several million.
Because it is not far from the Yellow River, the people there make a living by fishing and drying salt.
But now there is a sound of wailing in the territory, and there are victims everywhere with sallow faces and thin skin and ragged clothes.
Some carried carrying poles and carried children in baskets.
Some were sitting in the muddy yellow soup, covered in mud, feebly begging for food.
There were also old people who were dying of hunger and fell to the ground motionless, leaving only their last breath.
It was also mixed with the cries of children, which sounded heart-wrenching.
A boy of sixteen or seventeen years old, carrying a five-year-old girl on his back and leaning on a wooden stick, was struggling to move forward in the mud soup.
The girl wore a pair of braids, her face was dirty, and her big eyes were as pure as black gems, making her look pitiful.
The clothes on his body were patched and tattered, and even his shoes had holes in their toes.
The boy's face was pale, his lips were chapped, and he was looking for help from people everywhere.
But many people around are refugees and have too much to take care of themselves. There is no extra food for outsiders.
After begging for a long time, a kind person gave me an unknown dried flat fruit.
The boy hurriedly gave food to the girl behind him.
The girl saw something to eat and quickly took a bite.
"Cough cough..."
Although it was very sour and bitter, she still tried her best to eat it.
"Brother, eat!"
The girl handed the remaining half of the fruit to the boy in front of her.
The young man opened his mouth with difficulty and said with a smile: "Brother is not hungry, so let me eat!"
"No, brother, eat it!"
The girl pouted and handed the fruit over.
The young man carefully took a bite, then handed the fruit to the little girl and said, "Brother, eat it, daughter, eat it!"
Just as the little girl was talking, the sound of horse hooves came from ahead.
A group of soldiers wearing armor and well-armed horses came on horseback, exuding a powerful aura.
There is actually a state of bringing Qi into the body.
Many refugees moved out of the way.
However, some refugees who were too weak to get out of the way were trampled to death by horses.
"There's one over there!"
The leading general raised his whip and pointed eastward.
Not far away, I saw a village girl holding a three or four-year-old child. Her hair was messy and dry, and her eyes were dull.
Immediately, soldiers dismounted and snatched the village girl's child.
"My son!"
The village girl came to her senses and cried out to snatch her child back.
The soldier scolded: "Why are you crying? The Marquis is going to sacrifice to the Dragon God, and your child is chosen as the soul boy. This is a great thing. You should kneel down and thank God!"
The village girl didn't care about this, she just kept begging, hoping to get her child back.
"Noisy!"
The whip in the leader's general's hand suddenly grew longer, like a spiritual snake.
With just one blow, the village girl was knocked to the ground, not knowing whether she was alive or dead.
Not long after, three more children were arrested.
The young man was alert, and he already knew something was wrong as early as when he caught the first child.
He quickly picked up the little girl and limped away from the area.
But his legs and feet were weak, so even if he could walk, he wouldn't be able to walk for long.
Soon, a group of war horses surrounded him.
The boy hugged the little girl tightly, his eyes firm.
The little girl also sensed the crisis and burst into tears.
A soldier dismounted and snatched the little girl.
The young man wanted to resist, but he was no match for the soldier. He was kicked a few meters away and fell heavily to the ground. His eyes became dark and he fainted.
When I woke up, my daughter was gone.
His heart was ashen and his eyes were empty, as if the hope of life had been taken away.
I don't know how long it took before the boy struggled to get up.
He looked at the vast flood not far away and staggered forward.
Just as he was about to jump into the water, he suddenly heard someone from behind saying, "If you die, who will save your sister?"
The young man turned around suddenly and saw a Taoist priest in green sitting on the empty stone.
He was so blessed that he knelt on the ground and was about to beg for help when he suddenly saw the Taoist's eyes.
For an instant.
Boom!
The young man seemed to see a big world in the Taoist's eyes, hazy, like chaos, and then violently shattered. The earth, water, fire and wind surged, and four ancient swords cut through the void. The earth, water, fire and wind calmed down and turned into black and white airflow. One is clear and the other is turbid, the clear one rises and the turbid one sinks.
I don't know how long it took, but the young man suddenly woke up.
He bowed to the Taoist, prostrated himself on the ground, kowtowed three times and said, "Tianchenzi thanks the sage Pangu Tongtian for his guidance."
