Jiangshan Fengwuzhi

Chapter 165 Water and Fire (Part )

When Bai Ji was very young, he couldn't clearly feel his special abilities. He just felt very comfortable staying in the water and would cry loudly when he left the water.

His father Bai Yuze would deliberately put him in a very dry place, put a basin of water next to him, and let him feel the water himself.

This is how perception is developed little by little.

Bai Yuze would also tell him stories about his ancestors.

"Our hometown is in Baiyuan, south of the Great Wilderness and east of Zhuanxu. Dongzhou Mountain and Baishui Mountain face each other. The Baishui River flows out from there and converges into Baiyuan. Our clan is called Kunwu, and we are good at controlling water."

"Thousands of years ago, the Baiyuan flood swept our ancestors to Zhongzhou. However, in Zhongzhou, we almost lost the ability to control water. It was not until we repeatedly intermarried with people from Zhongzhou and continued to practice that we finally regained our strength bit by bit."

"Remember, only when you don't give up on yourself can you become stronger..."

Bai Ji remembered clearly the feeling when he first felt the power of water.

That was when he was five years old. He stood in the river and closed his eyes, but he could feel the extremely fine water floating around his body.

They are so tiny that they cannot be seen with the naked eye and can only be felt with the heart.

The five-year-old Bai Ji slowly raised his hand, squeezed the tiny drops of water, and felt further away, feeling the river and the powerful force contained in the river.

Time flies and more than ten years have passed.

Bai Ji stood there, already able to skillfully master that extremely powerful force.

He roared in his heart and poured the water towards Gu Jingnian.

……

Gu Jingnian closed his eyes and tried to feel the subtle flames floating around his body.

In the past, if he wanted to spread his wings of fire, he had to let his body be burned directly by the flames, but this time, he tried to control the flames himself and condense the fire in the air.

He had never thought of doing this before, but since others could control water, he thought that fire could also be controlled.

It's hard.

At first, he felt nothing at all, until he calmed down completely and put aside all distracting thoughts.

Win or lose, honor or disgrace, gain or loss... He even forgot who he was. His body seemed to have become a part of the world and its mountains and rivers, and his heartbeat resonated with the magma beneath the ground.

Finally, he seemed to see a tiny flame floating above the boiling magma, which soon went out.

He began to try to use his fire wings to condense those tiny flames.

This is an extremely long process and requires great patience.

Gradually, his inner vision followed the flames farther and farther, and Gu Jingnian suddenly found that he was in a sea of fire.

Under his feet, a raging fire was burning.

But there was still some distance between him and the fire, so it didn't burn him.

"Come!"

He shouted silently at the fire, concentrating all his energy and letting the fire under his feet burn towards him.

His physical strength and energy were exhausted, and there were countless times during the process when he thought he could no longer control the flame, until it moved and surged towards him.

"Zi-"

Gu Jingnian did not hear the sound ringing in his ears. He stood in the mist and did not fight against the water that was constantly pouring on him. Instead, he focused on himself.

A golden round sun gradually set behind the western mountain.

It was already dark.

"you lose!"

On the stone platform, You Yan raised his finger and pointed at Gu Jingnian, shouting, "If you don't light up the forest before dark, you've already lost!"

I don’t know if Gu Jingnian heard it, but the winning or losing of the small game set by You Yan did not have any impact on others.

"Brother Bai, what are you doing?" You Yan asked, "He has already lost, why is he still continuing?"

Bai ignored him and continued to gather his strength, even to the point where veins popped out on his forehead.

Even Hao Pangshui didn't care about winning or losing, and kept spitting water in Gu Jingnian's direction.

"you……"

You Yan then turned to Pei Nian and Yin Wanqing and said, "What about you? Did you see it? I made a bet with Gu Jingnian, and he has already lost."

The two girls ignored him and stood there, staring at Gu Jingnian. Even though Gu Jingnian hadn't shown anything, in their opinion, it was even more powerful than Bai Ji's demonstration of flooding a volcano with water.

Seeing that no one listened to him, You Yan stomped his feet in anger and simply turned around to help Bai Ji and Hao Pangshui.

Just as he stretched out his hand, he thought of something else. He grabbed a handful of red pills from the box and stuffed them into his mouth, chewing them and swallowing them. They drew water in the air and pushed them towards Gu Jingnian.

At this point, no one cared about the rules anymore. They just wanted to see if the fire wings on Gu Jingnian's body could be extinguished.

Bai Ji had consumed the most physical and mental energy, and finally he was exhausted and fell to the ground, but he did not give up. He picked up a bowl of red pills and poured them directly into his mouth, then immediately stood up again.

"This won't work. Let's work together to move the river water!"

"Come!"

Hao Pangshui shouted, opened his mouth towards Yongjiang and sucked hard. Bai Ji and You Yan cooperated, and the three of them used their special powers together.

It was visible to the naked eye that a water dragon emerged from the Yongjiang River, flying in the air and attacking Gu Jingnian.

Many aliens can control water dragons, but due to the terrain restrictions, it is difficult to do so at such a long distance. In fact, the three of them are much stronger than the mermaids.

The water dragon flew above Gu Jingnian and swooped down.

however.

A ball of flame suddenly sprang up from the rock ash, swept towards Gu Jingnian, and set him on fire.

The moment the water dragon rushed down, the fire wings on Gu Jingnian's back extended at an extremely fast speed, and raging flames rose from the rock ash.

I don’t know whether it was the fire wings that ignited the rock ash, or the rock ash that ignited the fire wings, but in any case, they became one.

"what is that?!"

Yin Wanqing murmured, her eyes full of disbelief. She was not mistaken.

Almost half of the volcano was ignited and became Gu Jingnian's wings. He spread out a pair of wings as big as a mountain.

"Pour him out!"

Hao Pangshui shouted, urging Bai Ji and You Yan not to give up.

The three of them ate all the red pills and kept driving the water dragon towards Gu Jingnian.

However, the fire was too big.

Although water can put out a fire, it is just a drop in the bucket at this moment.

As another wave of mist rose, it was as if a water dragon let out a sad cry, and it completely dissipated in the volcano.

Three people fell to the ground on the stone, their eyes were lifeless and they looked distraught.

They had completely exhausted their physical and mental strength. Even if they took more red pills, they could not make up for the overdraft. They were unable to open their mouths for a long time.

Gu Jingnian was still standing in the volcano, with a pair of flaming wings raised high.

"He's... so strong."

Yin Wanqing couldn't help but mutter to herself.

Pei Nian said: "He is really strong."

You Yan was very unconvinced and said with red eyes: "He has clearly lost to me. The sun has set, but the forest is still there. He lost..."

However, just looking at Gu Jingnian's appearance at this moment, no one thought that Gu Jingnian had lost.

Although the sun had set, Gu Jingnian almost became the sun. His flaming wings were brighter than the afterglow, illuminating half of the sky like a colorful cloud.

The next moment, everyone was stunned again.

What happened next made them even more dumbfounded.

The river in the distance was like a silk thread, and it was completely floating up.

It was a whole river, hundreds of steps wide, and endlessly long, with turbulent water and vast waves, and waves rising into the sky like a waterfall going against the current.

The mist was flying like rain.

The water of Yongjiang River was rushing in the air, roaring violently, as if Gu Jingnian had ignited a volcano and angered it.

The mighty river flows across the sky, changing the colors of the mountains and rivers.

"boom!"

"boom!"

The waves crashed with thunder, and the water poured down towards the volcano like a flood.

The fog suddenly grew hundreds of times thicker, covering the entire sky and earth. Even the stone platform was shrouded in fog, and one could not see one's hand in front of one's face.

This is the real grand spectacle of watering Shushan Mountain with Yongjiang water. It was suddenly displayed in front of everyone after sunset when there was still a faint light in the sky.

When the fog cleared, the hair of everyone on the rock was wet.

The sky had darkened, a bright moon was in the sky, and the direction of the volcano had become completely dark, and no fire could be seen anymore.

"What about others?"

Everyone looked far away, but could no longer find Gu Jingnian in the darkness.

Pei Nian and Yin Wanqing were both worried, but they were both rational people and did not run down the stone platform to look for him.

Pei Nian said, "Don't worry, he will be fine."

The world has calmed down.

The moonlight was quiet, illuminating the Yongjiang River in the distance, where shallow water was already flowing from upstream.

Everyone turned around and saw a man in his fifties standing on the steps with a tired look on his face and one hand on the railing beside the stone steps.

Despite this, no one would think that he was weak, as they all knew that he had simply exhausted his strength after "turning the rivers and seas upside down".

"father!"

Bai Ji shouted, "Did you stir up Yongjiang just now?"

Bai Yuze nodded, climbed up the stairs, and said, "Practice is practice, but don't set the Millet Mountain on fire. If it causes a volcanic eruption, it will be a disaster for the people around."

"But we didn't, it was Gu..."

You Yan wanted to explain the cause and effect, but Bai Ji had already responded, "I know I was wrong."

Bai Yuze walked on the stone platform and saw Yin Wanqing at this time. He bowed and said, "Greetings, Princess. I didn't know you were so honored to come. I will order someone to prepare a banquet."

Yin Wanqing said meaningfully, "I didn't know that Mr. Bai had such powerful means."

Bai Yuze coughed twice and replied, "I am just familiar with the water in Yongjiang River, so I am doing my best...Princess, please."

"Marquis Chengye is still over there," Yin Wanqing said, "I'll wait for him."

Although Shushan Mountain can be seen with the naked eye from here, it is a long way to go. If Gu Jingnian were to walk this long distance, he might not be able to get back even after a day and a night.

"I am the one who has offended you." Bai Yuze said, "Send a flying car to pick up Marquis Cheng Ye right away."

"Good work."

While people were still talking, Hao Pangshui suddenly murmured something.

"what is that?"

I saw a little fire light up in the darkness in the distance, and gradually flew towards this side, like a firefly.

It was Gu Jingnian himself who ignited the fire wings and flew back.

This matter seemed nothing, but Bai Yuze was the only one who felt deeply shocked.

The surface of Shushan Mountain was extremely moist due to the water from the river. Under such circumstances, how did Gu Jingnian ignite the fire wings?
