Emperor's Landing

The situation in the world came from my generation, once I entered the rivers and lakes, the time has passed, and Huang Tu dominates talking and laughing, and I can't help but get drunk.Lifting the sword and straddling the horse, swinging the ghost rain, the bones flew like a mountain bird.Things in the world are like tides and people are like water, only a few people in the rivers and lakes will return.The hero's road is far away, and the applause is near. Don't ask the common people and the stars.The world has bounds and the wind has faith, and the sea is boundless without seeing people!

—— "Journey to the Rivers and Lakes"

On the Yuhuatai, they all dispersed.Wuqing and the two young apprentices stand under the setting sun of the mountains and rivers. In front of them, the surging river water disappears into the skyline with the air of an emperor, and the gentle twilight melts into a piece of light and shadow.

"Master, do you believe that the water demon didn't do evil intentionally?" Wild cat Zihui asked Bing Xin, and after everyone left the venue, Fang raised his head and asked the standing Daoist.

"Whether monsters are good or evil, I have no intention of judging. But I believe that everything in the world has its own heart. People have a kind heart, so they are virtuous and good, and they are disgusting, so they are born villains. People are like this, let alone other things! Everything has its soul, There is a heart, so there is a feeling, and there is a reason for its existence in the world. We should not use human cunning and prejudice to observe the dispositions of other living beings. Only by being unattached, unbiased, and unbiased can we realize the happy state of the world." Dao Zunte stands in the world and doesn't follow others' words, so his thoughts are profound and different from ordinary people. Because of this, mediocre people don't understand his meaning, often far-fetched, and even curse and insult behind his back, and use extreme words.Dao Zun also didn't explain, only a confidant is hard to find between heaven and earth, the more transcendent and refined the person, the more so.

"Master, I believe in your faith!" Wild Maozi looked up to encourage Wuqing, Wuqing looked down at his apprentice, but said nothing.Mo Suyi listened to Wuqing's words, although he was confused, but seeing his senior sister's attitude, he also hurriedly pulled Wuqing's sleeves and said, "Master, I also believe in you!"

Wuqing usually has a lot of helplessness and worry about the two little disciples, but he also gets a lot of happiness that he never had. For the first time in a hundred years, he felt the tenderness.Love can increase people's helplessness, add people's melancholy, and can also bring people incomparably sweet and happy, like a pot of poisonous honey wine, which cannot be given up, and it will disturb the heart.

"How does Master plan to investigate?" Ye Maozi was very considerate.

"The water town is vast. Along the way, I have faintly noticed that the degree and proportion of the distribution of the demonic aura is quite different in different regions. We need to draw a distribution map of the water demon tomorrow to find the source of the water demon's disaster." Wuqing said.

"Let's split up! Tomorrow morning, I will go to the crowd to inquire about the situation of the water demon cannibalism, and find the place where the demon is most serious and where it is scattered. Master, you have sharp spiritual power, and you can track the demon energy from the waterway. At night, we will stay at the inn Let's meet." Yemaozi has always been eccentric, calmer and more mature than others, sometimes he speaks logically, and sometimes he speaks unconstrainedly.

"A feasible strategy." Dao Zun replied.

"What about me?" Mo Suyi asked, "Why don't I go with Senior Sister!"

Ye Maozi looked disgusted when he heard this, "Originally, I could do a somersault for thousands of miles. If I took you with me, I would be at the same speed as a snail. You should follow Master."

Mo Suyi listened to her senior sister's words, her originally bright eyes dimmed along with her drooping head.

Hearing this, Wuqing lightly brushed Mo Suyi's shoulders, and said comfortingly: "Tomorrow, I will need your help as a teacher, so I will go with you. My clothes, remember to be careful."

With the bright moon hanging high, a stalwart figure gradually disappeared into the night along with the two squabbling teenagers.

Early the next morning, one water and one land, the soldiers were divided into two groups.

Mo Suyi didn't exert much energy, so he took a day trip by boat easily.He was not yet ten years old, his skills were shallow, and his lightness skills could not last long, so he sat in the boat, looked around to enjoy the scenery, and waited for the master to come back by the way.Relentless uses boats, and every time he travels to a water area, he flies in the air and senses the severity of the evil spirit.Wuqing was like a captain, "Suyi, go to the next place." Then Mo Suyi carried out the task and rowed forward.At the end of the day, each of the two roads swept away the area around them.

When Wuqing opened the door and entered the inn, he saw Ye Maozi was already waiting.

At a glance, Ye Maozi saw the master approaching slowly, and picked up a piece of straw paper from the table case and jumped towards it. "Master, this is my harvest today!" Ye Maozi laughed.

After scanning it ruthlessly, he said, "It's roughly the same as what I did. It's just—"

"Just what?" Ye Maozi's eyes widened, thinking he had missed something.

"It's true that the water monsters gather at the place where Qiantang enters the sea. Why do water monsters attack the most inland rivers? Are the water monsters in the two places not of the same species?"

"No. The local people said that it is rumored that water monsters often haunt the deep sea. They should have spread from the mouth of Qiantang to the inland. How could there be any difference? What's more, Jiangling is far more troubled than Xiaoxiang in the same inland waters. Why is this?" Wild Maozi's words were to the point, like enlightenment.

"Unless there is some reason for the spreading water demon to mutate ferociously?" Dao Zun was thoughtful.

The two were brainstorming quickly, Mo Suyi couldn't get in a word, seeing that the two were silent, he quickly asked, "Is the water demon sick?"

Ye Maozi and his ruthless eyes stared at the ignorant Mo Suyi, causing Mo Suyi to lower his head.Yemaozi laughed loudly, breaking the silence, and patted his head with his hand, "Unexpectedly, my little brother's head is quite bright."

"It's not impossible for some external factors to cause the water monster to go berserk." Ruthless speculated.

"Then there is only one possibility: there is a problem with the water." Ye Maozi boldly reasoned.

"Someone poisoned the water?" Mo Suyi's mind opened up.

"It's unlikely to be specially poisoned, after all, this water nourishes one person." Dao Zun said.

"Yo Ho! Now that we have the direction, let's go to investigate the cause of water. We can have another day of fun." Ye Maozi danced happily and floated away from the ground.

"Remember not to dive into the deep water area to disturb monsters, safety first." Ruthlessly instructed the disciples.

On the third day, check the water quality.Ye Maozi left the residence early in the morning, rented a small boat to swim in the water, poured some wine and prepared some fruits and vegetables when passing by the market, and enjoyed the beautiful scenery in the middle of the lake while eating snacks.Her reflection reflected on the water surface is soft and graceful with the water light.After floating for a long time, the calm lake has no waves.

Suddenly, a peeping gaze seemed to hover over her.

She moved forward with the boat, did not make any new movements, but continued to taste the food on board.Not far away, the water flow is about to descend into the dangerous stream.Grasping the moment when the boat was tilting, she swung the two swords swiftly and slammed into the depths of the water, only to see a water monster exposed at the bend of the river bed, and then the impact of the swords forced it into the air.

Before taking a closer look at the appearance of the water monster, Wild Maozi immediately made a somersault in the air, kicked hard, and pushed the center of the boat under the water monster, and the dizzy water monster landed in the center of the hull.The water demon was about to escape, but Mo Xie was forced by the chivalrous swordsman to make him unable to move, and hissed and moaned under the sunlight.

Wild Maozi stood at the bow of the boat, watching the water monster carefully.The human body has a fish tail and long hair is loose. The difference from the legendary mermaid is that it has no arms. Except for the head, body, scales, and tail, it has a sense of extreme disharmony. The face is stiff and the eyes are slightly creepy. Looking forward to love like that.Presumably, he mistook it for a woman in a trance in the water that day, and her voice was clear and sharp like a baby.

Yemaozi stood in a stalemate with him for a moment, the water monster seemed to be drying on the boat for a long time, coupled with the power of the sword light, it was in extreme pain, and it showed a fierce look between its teeth, wanting to break through all the shackles.When Ye Maozi saw its eyes, a trace of fear arose in his heart, and those eyes seemed to be pleading. "Take it!" Before he realized it, Wild Maozi had already issued an order to withdraw his sword, and the water demon fled away just as the sunlight hit his eyes for a moment.

"It—is it crying?" Wild Maozi was even more puzzled, and when he went to search underwater, he had already disappeared.

"Have you heard? The Sword Sect has already built a dark iron cage, which can lock the captured water monsters under the scorching sun one by one, and within a day of exposure, they will be wiped out."

"When will so many water demons be caught one by one?"

"I heard that the medicine pill of Penglai is thrown into the water, which can attract water demons to gather."

"Then why wasn't it used before?"

"Why haven't I used it before? Don't use a large amount of medicinal pills. Use less will be beneficial for catching monsters, and use more will pollute the water source."

"Then it's better to use it sparingly! Don't be afraid that the water demon didn't attract it, it poisoned people first."

……

Wild Maozi marched to a ferry, and the conversation between a boatman and a boatman resounded.

"I don't know where the black iron cage is?" Wild Maozi stepped forward and asked.

"Jiangling Ferry."

Ye Maozi wanted to go to find Dao Zun first, but felt that his master was hard to find, so he decided to go to Jianglingdu alone.

On the other side, Dao Zun and Mo Suyi went northward from Qiantang Haikou to Penglai Sea without knowing it. At a glance, the mighty sea surface reflected red and black mist under the impact of light.

"What is this?" Wu Qing was puzzled.This black mist is from far to near, from deep to shallow, the head-on sea breeze hits the face, and there is a slight suffocation feeling in the nose.

"What's wrong with the seawater blowing from Penglai?" Wuqing felt even more puzzled in his heart. The water monster is not like an ordinary beast or bird, but a creature of the deep sea. How could it dive into the shallow sea in large numbers.But what is even more puzzling is, "Why did my clothes quickly divert to Jiangling? Could something have happened?"

"Master, what are you mumbling about?" Mo Suyi asked.

"Let's go! Let's go to Jiangling to explore." Wuqing said.

Beside Jiangling Ferry, a huge black iron cage stands on the river.The water is light and sparkling.Looking carefully, the water near the cage seems to be blood-stained, slightly reddish.

Ye Maozi walked to the shore of the ferry and looked at the airtight cage.This magnificent man-made building is in dazzling opposition to the rivers, seas and lakes.

At this time, Dao Zun also traveled to Jianglingdu with Mo Suyi.Ye Maozi told Dao Zun what he saw and heard.

"I suspect that the pollution from Penglai's refinement of elixir flows into the river and sea, and flows into the mouth of Qiantang along the direction of the water flow. These suffocating poisons soak into the deep sea, and those sea monsters have to go to the shallow sea to find fresh air and food for their stomachs. Cannibalism."

"Then let's ask Penglai and we'll know. If the deep sea can be purified, maybe the water monsters can enter the deep sea again. After all, this is not their home. I met a water monster on the way, and it wasn't as vicious and cruel as I heard." Ye Maozi also I agree with Master's views on the equality of all living beings.

"I'm afraid—" Dao Zun ruthlessly frowned, hesitated for a moment and said, "Forget it, how will you know if you don't try?" The three of them went to pay a visit to Penglai Fushige.

On the Yuhuatai, it happened that Ukishige, head of Penglai, Fei Ranzi, head of Sword Sect, and Fu Qiusheng, head of Jiange, were discussing the matter of killing the water demon.

"The dark iron cage has been cast, now we are not afraid of the water monster escaping." Ukishige said with a smile.

"I don't know if Zun came here today to help us wipe out the water demon?" Fei Ranzi asked hurriedly when he saw Wuqing coming.

"I have something to ask the Immortal Floating Head." Ruthlessly changed the subject.

"What's the matter?" Ukishige asked.

"I wonder if Penglai has the elixir to purify the deep sea?" Wuqing asked.

"I don't know why Zun asked such a question?" Ukishige asked puzzled.

"A few days ago, after my investigation, I found that the sea area of ​​​​Qiantang was polluted by something. As a result, a large number of water monsters who lived in the deep sea fled to the shallow water area in search of food and air. If the deep sea can be purified, it may be possible to guide the water monster back to the deep sea. The misfortune of the water demon can be eradicated." The ruthless words were reserved, and did not mention the root cause related to the waters of Penglai.

"You mean to release the water demon back into the deep sea?" Ukishige said bluntly, slightly annoyed.

"It's to help him return home." Wuqing added.There was an explosion on the Yuhuatai, and there was a commotion.

"Dao Zun actually indulged the water demon, and even helped him escape, with suspicious intentions."

"Could it be that Taoist disregarded the life and death of the people?"

……

Fei Ranzi then persuaded, "Daoist, now that we have a black iron cage, and Penglai's Yao Gathering Pill has been successfully refined, why don't you help us eradicate the evil spirits!"

"Since you have a complete plan, it is useless for me to intervene. Farewell!"

Ying Woyi followed Dao Zun and left with Mo Suyi.On the way down the mountain, listening to the roaring sound of the surging river on the edge of the cliff, I couldn't help but compose a poem loudly:

"The common people are suffering together, but how can they fall into the world. It's a pity that I have no confidant, and I am drunk and lying in the rivers and lakes!"

On Yuhua Mountain, the tragic poems, mixed with helplessness, shake the waves and spread all the way to the distance.

In the land of water, in the beautiful and warm scenery, countless water monsters were wiped out in black iron cages, and there was a desolate and bloody smell in the air.Zhengdao cheers and is proud of the success of the joint efforts to kill the evil. The result of this victory shows that the name will be left in history and the youth will last forever.

Go back to Kunlun again, away from the hustle and bustle.Dao Zun gently patted the dust on his sleeves, and walked to the Buxi Pavilion.On the other hand, the deputy, Ling Rufeng, walked towards him with the worldly dust in his arms.

"There are many rumors in the world. I would rather be a villain than speak honestly. You are sympathetic to the common people and have far-reaching thoughts, but who can understand?" Ling Rufeng persuaded.

"I do what I want, so why not be afraid of what others say! You are the first person to worship me as a teacher, so you should know my heart." A firm figure gradually faded away.

"Even if you become an enemy of the world's rumors, why bother?" Ling Rufeng said in his heart.
