The moment Xia Yuyang came out, the rain did not stop. Instead, it became even more intense.
The torrential rain seemed to be really planning to swallow J-City. If it dragged on any longer, not only would the residents in the lower areas have to move, but even the entire J-City would have to evacuate.
After Xia Yuyang came out of the Mysterious Peace Temple, he immediately released the paper donkey that Third Grandmother Wang had given him. The donkey shook its hind hooves and shook its head in a rather human manner to signal him to come up. He reached out and stroked the donkey's head." Donkey, oh Donkey, J-City is in a critical flood situation now. I need to know exactly where the tribulation is to try and stop the rain. If you can understand me, please take me to your master."”
After saying that, he turned over and got on the donkey. Seeing that he had already sat down properly, the donkey immediately started running. Xia Yuyang only felt the wind blowing past his ears with the rain. The donkey ran faster and faster. In the end, it soared into the sky like stepping on clouds and ran in the direction of the capital.
Xia Yuyang looked down from the sky and had a deeper understanding of the rain disaster that was no less than a sudden disaster for the people of J-City. The city, which was originally filled with high-rise buildings and roads, now looked like it was in the middle of a vast ocean. Many low-lying buildings had been flooded to the point that they could only stick their heads out. The accumulated rainfall in the past few days was at least 2000 millimeters. The water level of the river in the city was rising crazily, and it could burst at any time. Fortunately, the weather station in J City had given a timely warning and evacuated some people in advance. So far, Xia Yuyang had not seen any casualties caused by the rain in the news.
However, although there were no casualties, all kinds of economic losses were incalculable, especially for the farmers who relied on the weather to survive. Their farmland and orchards were all flooded, and the houses of the poor families collapsed after being soaked in the rain. Countless people saw the " foreigners " cry.
Looking at J City that was in the midst of a rain disaster, Xia Yuyang made up his mind. As long as he found the culprit behind the storm, he would do his best to stop the disaster from spreading. Only in the face of natural disasters did he truly understand how fragile humans were.
From the map, J City and Beijing were nearly 1500 kilometers apart. Under the full speed of the donkey, the magnificent outline of Beijing was soon in front of them.
After entering the capital city, the donkey did not stay for long and headed straight for Mount Miaosi without hesitation. Under the influence of the heavy rain in J City, many cities in the country experienced varying degrees of rainfall. However, the rainfall was within the normal range. Some dry areas even eased the drought. It was drizzling when they arrived in the capital.
When they reached the foot of Mount Miaosi, Xia Yuyang wanted to get off the donkey and walk up the mountain like last time, but the donkey shook its head and tail angrily, refusing to let him down. At first, he didn't know what it meant, but after repeating it a few times, he realized something." Little donkey, are you trying to carry me up the mountain? Is this faster?"
The donkey did not know how to speak, but after hearing Xia Yuyang's words, it finally calmed down and began to speed up towards the top of Mount Miaosi.
"Thank you." Xia Yuyang reached out and patted the donkey's head. Indeed, all things had spirits. A donkey that had yet to truly gain intelligence actually knew how to worry about the human world. The irony was that the fallen god race was not even as sincere as a donkey to the common people. Instead, for their own selfish desires, they abandoned the safety of the human world.
When he arrived at the main hall on the top of the mountain, Xia Yuyang realized that Third Madam Wang was already waiting for him there.
He hurriedly got off the donkey and bowed deeply in front of Aunt Wang. Before he could say anything, Aunt Wang spoke first.
"Good child, get up. I already know about the situation in J-City. Don't be anxious. The situation is not irreversible.”As Third Aunt Wang spoke, she gently stroked the fur on the head of the donkey that had come up to her happily.
"Grandma, J-City is in dire straits right now. I wanted to ask the Taoist priest of the Xuan An Temple to perform a divination, but the human warlocks are not up to par and could not determine what is going through the tribulation in J-City.”
Xia Yuyang bowed deeply to Third Aunt Wang again. The donkey snorted and lowered its head to rub against Xia Yuyang's shoulder, as if to calm him down.
"The rain disaster in J-City was caused by a thousand-year-old flood dragon spirit undergoing a tribulation in the river of J-City. It wanted to use the storm and flood to escape into the sea.”
" Flood dragon spirit?!" Xia Yuyang cried out in shock. He had never thought that such an ancient creature would still exist in this era. He had always thought that creatures like flood dragons either existed in myths and legends like the Classic of Mountains and Seas or in the Cultivation Era when the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was overwhelming. Who knew that he would still be lucky enough to see a flood dragon in the 21st century? It was even possible to see it transform into a dragon?
" That's right. Last night, I observed the strange phenomenon in the sky. It was a sign that an ancient relic had appeared. I did a divination. It was indeed a flood dragon that was transcending the tribulation, but..." Third Aunt Wang paused for a moment.
"But what?" Xia Yuyang asked anxiously, holding his breath as he waited for an answer.
"However, this flood dragon spirit seems to have been injured. There was no blood in the celestial phenomenon last night, which proves that the flood dragon spirit did not enter the path from the devil. It should have cultivated according to the orthodox method. This kind of monster cherishes its feathers the most and should not let the flood of the tribulation harm the mortal world. If it unintentionally committed a massacre, it would be no different from its future cultivation. Perhaps it was injured and could not control itself from affecting the water source.”
Hearing what Third Madam Wang said, Xia Yuyang's heart was on tenterhooks.
The Southern Dynasty's Shu Yi Ji once wrote: Water Venomous Snakes turned into flood dragons after 500 years and hid in lakes, deep pools, dams, rivers, and caves.
Water Venomous Snake was a kind of poisonous snake. It had to cultivate for 500 years to grow claws and become a flood dragon. If the flood dragon cultivated for another 1,000 years, it would grow horns on its head and its dragon bones would be formed. Only after passing the calamity of the walking flood dragon entering the sea could one truly transform into a dragon, with dragon horns, dragon scales, and four claws.
Now that the flood dragon spirit had begun to transcend the tribulation, it was enough to show that it had at least 1,500 years of cultivation. No wonder the divination that Priest Zhang had measured was completely unclear! Such a mythical creature was injured and out of control. Could he really stop it?
"Child, don't worry. Grandma has a Dragon Suppressing Whip. It was obtained by chance in the past and has never been used. However, it has gained some spiritual wisdom in Bluecloud Progenitor Hall day and night. Although the flood dragon spirit is injured, it still has some rationality. Go and help it transcend the tribulation. Don't let it go berserk. Otherwise, when the demon dragon appears, it will truly be a disaster.”
Third Aunt Wang reached out and grabbed the air with her bare hands. A long, pitch-black whip appeared in her hand. The whip was carved with coiling dragons, and as it swayed, dark light flowed. The giant dragon circling on the whip seemed to be about to break out of the whip at any moment and soar into the clouds.
"Grandma has divined the Dragon Subduing hexagram for you. It's a good omen. Don't worry and go. Remember to use the power of virtue well.”
