Chapter 517: The Last Waterway, Speed ​​of Life and Death

There are eight major groups in the Buddhist "Eight Divisions of Heaven and Dragon". "Heaven" represents "heavenly people" and "dragon" represents "dragon people".

These two groups are the most powerful and have the highest status, ranking first and second respectively, so the entire Shinto group is called "The Eight Immortals".

It can be understood as "the eight groups of beings including heaven and dragons."

Pushan is a real dragon!
In his early years, he was even named "Dragon" Pushan Bodhisattva by the Buddha.

This kind of canonized "Bodhisattva" is not the same as the "Bodhisattva realm" in Buddhist practice.

Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils are originally "Shinto people" and follow the Shinto path.

Similar to Taiyi Xuanmen, the "immortal" among the five great immortals of "heaven, earth, man, ghosts and gods".

When conferring the title of deity, the deity must be granted a "Shinto Talisman". In fact, gods such as the City God and the River God are also considered "deities", the gods of the underworld and the gods of the water palace. Their status and position are much lower than those of the gods in heaven, but their "professions" are the same.

The "Bodhisattva" status granted by Buddhism is similar to the "Shinto talismans" of Taiyi Xuanmen.

Shinto talismans can be granted to you, but they can also be taken back.

Lost the Shinto talisman. Look at Chen Min who possesses the "status of City God".

His name was clearly written into the Conferred God List, and he possessed some status as a City God, but without the Shinto talisman, he had no power. Without power, even ordinary ghosts and gods could bully him at will.

If Pushan still had the status of "Pushan Bodhisattva", he would have captured Xiaoyu long ago and crushed her to death with one move.

Two thousand years ago, she committed a crime and made a mistake in the relationship between men and women.

Well, it has nothing to do with Jin Chanzi. Pushan fell in love with a mortal scholar.

Jin Chanzi only helped her and took her in as his disciple, and her status was somewhat similar to Yu Chan.

Yuchan also has the status of Arhat!
It is true that Yuchan is not as strong as Pushan, but in terms of status and position, she is no lower than Pushan, who lost his Bodhisattva status and was expelled from the "dragon group".

Pushan originally thought that "capturing and killing Yu Fengxian" was a very simple task, but after confirming again and again, he found that Yu Fengxian's "Magic Eye Confrontation" to kill Yu Chan could only be used once.

Pushan had already received the information that "Yu Fengxian wanted to use water escape to leave Yingxiang Mansion" before coming to Yingxiang Mansion.

So she threw out three "walls of Buddha's Light" at once, directly cutting off the river channel totaling twenty miles upstream and downstream.

She is a true dragon and is very sensitive to water magic.

She was sure that Yu Fengxian at the bottom of the river did not use the "water escape" among the five elements escape techniques.

In theory, blocking a 20-mile stretch of river is enough.

However, Yu Fengxian did not take the "Yangguan Road", she actually went into the underground sewer.

Pushan was only surprised for a moment, then he sneered: "Fool, if you take the Black Dragon River and I catch up with you, you can still leave the river and use that weird "Black Wind·Cold Wind Sword Escape". At that time, it will be a bit troublesome for me to catch up with you."

Now that we have entered the underground river, we can only walk along the riverbed. Isn’t that a dead end?
Without any hesitation, she immediately found the "spring" where Yu Fengxian disappeared and went in.

At that moment, she was confident that she could capture Yu Fengxian within half a cup of tea.

Because she is a real dragon, "finding spirits and catching pulses" is her instinct.

Before entering the underground river, the underground water network of more than ten miles nearby emerged in her mind, as if she had opened the "Gaode Map" and zoomed in to the maximum, so that even the "house numbers" in the river could be seen clearly.

In addition to "finding the spirit and catching the pulse", she also used a small magic called "returning the spiritual light".

It's not a magical power, but just a basic technique that most dragons know: drawing water spiritual power containing information from the water flow to form a circular mirror, which can trace back what happened in the waterway and the people who passed through the water.

If Xiaoyu had not used the awakened talent of Kunpeng bloodline to tread water, but instead used sorcery or Taoist magic to perform the "Water Avoidance Technique", her position would have been locked long ago.

However, Xiaoyu used the power of water and almost merged his body into the water flow, but did not leave any "spiritual information".

The image in the water mirror that Pushan saw was very blurry.

Once they reach the fork in the road, the water spiritual power containing Xiaoyu's information will flow into all the forks in the road.

Pushan had to stop and enter one of the forks in the road, continuing to perform the "Spiritual Return".

If Yu Fengxian really entered this waterway, the image in the spiritual light reflected back would be stable and unchanged.

If Pushan took the wrong path, as she moved forward in the river, the spiritual power containing the information of Yu Fengxian would gradually dilute, and the blurry figure of Yu Fengxian seen in the "reflection of spiritual light" would become even more blurry until it completely dissipated.

Therefore, Pushan is most afraid of encountering a fork in the road. Every time he encounters one, he will be delayed for some time.

As soon as she entered the river mouth, the strong water spiritual power on her body aroused Xiaoyu's vigilance.

Realizing that someone was following him, Xiaoyu of course had to take the underground river with more forks and more complicated road conditions.

Why did Xiaobailong eat Elder Tang’s horse?
Because he is hungry.

Xiaobailong is the son of the Dragon King, and his bloodline should be more noble than Pushan.

Xiaobailong gets hungry and tired, and Pushan will of course also get hungry and tired.

If she just traveled in the water, she wouldn't feel tired even after several days and nights.

But she had to do more than just hurry on the road. She had to concentrate and use the "Spiritual Light Returning" to search for Yu Fengxian's trace.

"Return of Spiritual Light" is just a minor magic trick, not a great magical power. It consumes very little energy and is very easy to perform.

However, no matter how small the magic was, after performing it countless times for several days and nights, Pushan still couldn't bear it mentally.

Moreover, Pushan encountered a big trouble that Xiaoyu had not considered: Xiaoyu was continuing to move southward, and was obviously leaving the territory of Shu!
To the south of Southern Shu is the Shiwan Mountains, which are sparsely populated and full of evil spirits.

It is no longer under the joint management of humans and gods.

There are all kinds of monsters and demons, it is the real "Xiniu Hezhou style".

Yingxiang Prefecture and Tianmen Town, where Xiaoyu lives, are said to be in Xiniu Hezhou, but in fact they are not much different from the cities in the south of China, and their "laws and regulations" are too sound.

Pushan is very powerful and is not afraid of evil spirits, but now she is chasing someone.

If she ran into a big monster in the waterway and the two sides started fighting, her pursuit would have to be stopped.

Yu Fengxian's aura is extremely restrained, and the probability of her being discovered in advance by a big monster in the underground river is much smaller than that of a real dragon that exudes rich water spiritual power.

For a real dragon to rashly enter the waters controlled by a "demon fairy" without saying hello is tantamount to a naked provocation.

Therefore, Pushan was very pressed for time and could not continue to waste time with Yu Fengxian. At first, she really planned to kill Xiaoyu because she was a real dragon and a real immortal, while Yu Fengxian was a mortal.

In theory, it would be easy and natural for a real dragon to kill a mortal underwater. But the reality is cruel.
So, Pushan's soul left her body and quickly ran around the places where Yu Fengxian might appear, within a radius of 500 miles, in lakes, rivers, wells, etc. As long as there was an "underwater god's way", she would go there and forcibly drive it away.

The killing of two river shrimps in Taoyuan Lake immediately alarmed her.

In other words, the killing of the two river shrimps first alarmed "General Gua Gua" of Taoyuan Lake.

In addition to leaving a "water talisman", Pushan also left a piece of dragon scale for the leader of the river monster.

Her own true dragon scales.

At that time, General Gua Gua poured water spiritual power into the dragon scales, which immediately alarmed Pushan.

Pushan’s soul arrived at the scene almost instantly.

Logically speaking, the fat grandson disguised as a "wild crab spirit" should not attract Pushan's attention.

Unfortunately, Pushan only started commanding the monsters last night.

So far, there has been only one "patrol water demon murder case".

After summoning all the water monsters and river gods to surround Yu Fengxian from all directions, they encountered the first murder case, and Pushan paid a little more attention to it.

Then she used her "spiritual reflection" to find Xiaoyu's trace in that underground sewer!

"There's a crab spirit beside Yu Fengxian!"

She continued to track along the underground river, and at the same time notified "Sai Qinglong" to arrange people to intercept nearby (after she completed the task of killing Yu Fengxian, she would definitely come back and crush this ignorant green snake spirit to death - when Pushan first heard this name, he immediately made a secret decision in his heart).

Wu Lao San and Cao Er are not the only water monsters that have been assigned the task of “targeted search and capture”.

Starting from the place where the two prawns were killed, the area spreads to the surrounding areas. There are many underground rivers where traces of the Feather Fairy may appear.

River monsters are arranged to block every intersection in advance.

Even if Xiaoyu doesn't take the current path, he will meet "Wulaoer" and "Caoda" in another waterway.

After the fat grandson fought with the "yellow bones", only a cup of tea later, a green dragon as long as a meter and as thick as a bowl also followed the underground river and drilled into the "small underground lake".

Pushan is here!

The underground lake connects several waterways.

Just like before, she used her "reflection of spiritual light" to look for Xiaoyu's vague figure and find the correct underground waterway.

This time, she chose the target almost immediately, because she vaguely sensed that Yu Fengxian was sneaking into a deeper underground water vein.

"Yu Fengxian, I can smell you, you can't escape!"

Xiaoyu has been soaking in the water for several days and nights, and its taste is gone.

In other words, there was no smell from the beginning. What Pushan smelled was blood, the blood flowing from his fat grandson.

The fat grandson was no match for "Yellow Bone" and was pierced through the chin by the water-dividing thorn.

The blood entered the water, leaving traces.

But the fat grandson must have been hidden in Xiaoyu's sleeves.

Another half hour passed.

Although Pushan didn't really catch up with Yu Fengxian, he felt that he was getting closer and closer to her.

Perhaps, there was only a waterway between her and her?
Perhaps, they are in the same waterway, and Yu Fengxian is ahead?
Suddenly, a light spot the size of a grain of rice appeared on her right front paw.

Someone is calling her through dragon scales!
She took a dragon scale from her right claw and handed it to the other party. The other party used water magic power or divine power to inject the scale, and the original position of the scale on her body would be sensed.

"It's that stupid green snake, looking for me at this time."

A look of hesitation appeared in Pushanlong's eyes.

The one who summoned her was Sai Qinglong, the river god of Xiaoman River.

Since "Sai Qinglong" summoned her, he must have news related to Yu Fengxian.

But she felt that she had caught up with Yu Fengxian.

Do you want to pause and go to Xiaoman River to take a look?
After hesitating for a moment, Pushan ignored "Sai Qinglong".

Another half hour passed.

Pushan failed to catch up with Xiaoyu.

Her right front paw kept flashing with green light, which meant that "Sai Qinglong" had been calling her!
"If you just say some useless nonsense, I will not only skin you alive, but also eat you alive!"

A hint of murderous intent flashed in Pushan's bright dragon eyes, and the dragon's body hovered in the underground river. A small dragon as thick as a chopstick flew out from the dragon's forehead and directly penetrated the earth. In a breath, it crossed nearly three thousand feet (about ten thousand meters).

Suddenly, I came from the dark and cold underground river to the sunny land.

In fact, Pushan’s feeling was not wrong at all.

Xiaoyu was only two forks in the road away from her, and the distance of the waterway was no more than twenty miles.

If we chase him for another half an hour or at most an hour, we might be able to catch Xiaoyu's tail.

"Grandma, I feel Pushan is catching up soon. She is right behind us."

Even the fat grandson's sense of crisis was triggered.

"She's not always behind us."

Xiaoyu pursed her lips. Her two legs were treading water so frantically that the movements could not be seen clearly. Only a residual shadow was left.

The fat grandson said anxiously: "It's different from before. I think after killing the two shrimp soldiers of 'General Gua Gua', Pushan chased after us.

Just now we killed Wu Lao San and Huang Gu, who were under the command of Sai Qing Long. Alas, we shouldn't have let Cao Er go.

If Pushan really catches up and meets Cao Er, he will learn from him that I have inquired about the abyss waterway where the battle took place that day.

Will Pushan be alert and wait for us near the waterway in advance?"

Xiao Yu glanced at the "yellow bone fish" in his right hand and said calmly: "Don't worry, I let Cao Er go on purpose. He will only buy us more time."
