Liaozhai Great Sage

It's just that people who practice Taoism use this magic power on Taoism and talismans, so it produces many magical effects, while people who practice martial arts use it on fists and feet, so there are not many changes, but it can double the power of fists and feet.

However, cultivating Dao and practicing qi is only the foundation, but martial arts practitioners have already reached the end of their strength, and it is impossible to go any further, unless they use martial arts to practice Dao.

Not without such people.

Li Xiuyuan knew that this was the way to go alone, and that was Yan Chixia.

"Why such a sudden change?" He frowned, a little puzzled.

But he knew that this change occurred after he beheaded the Wujiang Dragon King.

Right now, the flood was still raging, but he didn't have time to think about it.

Even after beheading the Dragon King of Wujiang, the flood still could not be subsided.

The water has gotten out of control.

Even if the Dragon King of Wujiang is alive, there is no way to stop the raging flood.

Li Xiuyuan beheaded the Dragon King of Wujiang. Although the anger in his heart had been vented, it was useless right now.

"You don't have to think about it. The flood is flooding and there is no one to take care of it. You can only wait for the flood to recede."

At this moment, Taoist Mu descended from the sky and landed on the city wall. He stretched out his hand, and the wooden crane shrank rapidly, and finally hid in his wide Taoist robe: "Fortunately, you killed the Dragon King of Wujiang and stopped the rainstorm. Come down, the flood can end early, you see, the water has weakened now."

"Is it?"

Li Xiuyuan stood on the city wall and looked at the submerged Guo Beicheng with a silent expression.

Although the city has been flooded right now, the water in the city has not continued to rise due to the decline in the water potential of the flood. Some roofs on higher grounds have not been submerged, and many people have saved their lives by standing on the roofs. .

There are also many people standing on the city wall, and they live in peace.

Coupled with Li Xiuyuan's previous efforts, many people left the city ahead of time to seek refuge.

Quite a few people in the city should have survived.

But Li Xiuyuan knew that there were more dead people.

Because this time not only Guo Beicheng was affected by the disaster, but other places were also affected by the disaster.

As for the extent of the area affected this time, it is unknown.

In the evening, the flood has begun to subside slowly. Although the speed is very slow, it is a good sign.

This means that this flood has passed.

As long as they survive these two days, the flood will completely dissipate, and the surviving people will not have to worry about suffering another disaster.

However, there is still a lot of water in the city, and the people on the city wall still cannot enter the city.

The Mu Taoist next to him didn't know when he left, and then jumped up from the stagnant water below the city in the evening, and landed on the city wall, covered in muddy water.

"Bah, bah, I ate a mouthful of mud, but fortunately I found those few sections of the dragon's body. This is a rare treasure, so don't let it go to waste."

Mu Taoist was satisfied and patted the ghost king's bag on his waist.

The body of the Dragon King of Wujiang is all contained inside.

"Hey, where's my nephew?"

Mu Taoist took a look, but found that Li Xiuyuan had disappeared.

At this time, Li Xiuyuan walked all the way along the city wall, passing by many people, and finally found some acquaintances among the people.

"That's great, Brother Li, I knew you'd be fine, and you'll definitely be able to save the day."

A scholar in a long gown stood up happily when he saw Li Xiuyuan.

"Brother Zhu, the flood is about to recede right now, and the government has also suffered disasters. At that time, there must be no hope for disaster relief. The court is also high and the emperor is far away. It will be difficult to send people over for a while. We need to save ourselves, otherwise the flood will hit us." After that, it will be a man-made disaster, and more people will die by then."

Li Xiuyuan said solemnly.

Zhu Yu put away his smile and said solemnly, "How to save?"

"Gather the surviving Tong Sheng in the city, scholar, listen to my order, you can save people." Li Xiuyuan said.

The imperial court and the government can't count on it at this time, they can only rely on scholars with fame and reputation. In the eyes of the common people, a child born and a scholar are equal to half an official.

If they stepped forward, they would be able to manage the situation.

Although many scholars are not capable of handling affairs, they can't control so much now. What Li Xiuyuan needs is their identities.

Don't let the people in the city mess up.

Once there is chaos, it cannot be stopped. When the time comes, natural disasters will turn into man-made disasters, and there will be more casualties.

This has been the case since ancient times, the catastrophe is not terrible, what is terrible is the turmoil after the catastrophe without the restraint of the imperial court and the control of the yamen.

Chapter 171

Although the surviving scholars all had lingering fears, they were not stupid. Hearing that the imperial court was out of control at the moment, Li Xiuyuan wanted to call all the scholars together to make suggestions and rescue people. They rushed over immediately.

The passionate scholar thinks that this is an opportunity to save all the people. How can he avoid or postpone the mission that has come down from heaven at this moment.

Of course, there are still some scholars who think that this is a good opportunity to spread their reputation and establish their prestige. If they can succeed, their status in Guo Beicheng will be extraordinary in the future.

At this moment, it was already dark, and only a few bonfires were lit here and there on the city wall.

And beside a weak bonfire, all the surviving scholars on the city wall gathered here.

The number of people is not too much, only less than 20 people.

Among them, Li Xiuyuan also met many acquaintances, such as Zhu Yu, Wang Ping, and Ning Caichen.

As for Zhong Qingxu, he was lucky. Because of his mother's serious illness, he gave up the hospital examination, so he returned home. At this time, he was neither in the city nor encountered a flood. It was a blessing in disguise.

"According to this trend, the floods in the city can enter the city in two days. At that time, there will be no one in the government, and the first thing to bear the brunt is the security problem in the city. disciples, so as not to cause chaos in the city.”

Sitting by the bonfire, Li Xiuyuan said slowly: "Secondly, the corpses of the people who died in the disaster need to be cleaned up. The weather is still hot now, and it is necessary to bury the corpses of the people who died in the disaster in time, otherwise the corpses will rot and cause diseases. most serious."

"The last thing is food and drinking water. Food is easy to handle. Although it has been flooded, the food of each household has not been soaked in the past few days. The key is drinking water. The well water in the city will definitely be polluted, but I have one day. The Dharma can purify the water, take charcoal and wrap it with gauze, pass through the sewage to get clean water, and then boil it to ensure no worries, but there are many things, I need you to share them for me."

After finishing speaking, the scholars around fell silent for a while.

Each of these things is difficult when you really talk about disaster relief.

For example, the law and order in the city, how to organize the manpower, how to calm the victims, and how to deal with the villains are all worth thinking about.
