We said we would experience life, fairy, how did you become real?.

Chapter 74 Why not?

Changqingshan, Chengping County.

At the mountaintop, an old man opened his eyes.

In the mortal dynasties, some officials possessed innate talent and were capable of cultivating themselves.

These officials who were capable of cultivating themselves, if they had done many good deeds during their lives and were admired by the people, and if the people built temples to worship them after their deaths, could be appointed by the emperor as gods of mountains, rivers and streams.

Unless the dynasty collapses and the land changes hands, these mountain and river gods can exist forever.

Of course, under normal circumstances, most officials would not make this choice.

Because no matter what, reincarnation symbolizes new hope. If you reincarnate several times, you might one day ascend to the Great Way.

But if you become the god of mountains, rivers, and lakes, then you are bound to the dynasty.

Moreover, after the dynasty collapses, you will perish, with no possibility of reincarnation.

Looking at the world as a whole, no sect can last forever, let alone the ever-changing dynasties of the mortal realm.

However, some officials are willing to become gods of mountains, rivers, and lakes.

Who can say for sure what will happen to you in your future life?

Who knows, he might perish in his second life.

Moreover, some officials are truly devoted to the people and cannot let go of their concerns.

This old man named Wei Yuan was the mountain god of Changqing Mountain in the State of Qi.

Wei Yuan looked at a stream not far away.

In the stream, a giant white python is charging toward the Dragon-Slaying Sword hanging under the arched bridge.

The Dragon-Slaying Sword flew out and slashed at the body of the white giant python.

"hiss!"

The white giant python's body was slashed several times by the longsword, leaving several bloody marks.

"Zheng!"

As if enraged, the Dragon-Slaying Sword thrust towards the giant python's brow.

However, with a flick of her long tail, she knocked the dragon-slaying sword away, which then stuck into a rock on the shore.

Seizing the opportunity, Bai Ruxue quickly crossed the arched bridge and swam towards Siming Lake.

"This giant boa constrictor has quite a bit of talent."

Wei Yuan stroked his beard and nodded.

But this is only the first hurdle.

There is more than just this one Dragon Slayer Sword.

Bai Ruxue swam across the arched bridge and glanced back; the Dragon-Slaying Sword had indeed not followed.
Xiao Mo is right. Just keep swimming forward, passing each level one by one.

After swimming across Sixian Creek, Bai Ruxue successfully entered Siming Lake.

As Bai Ruxue immersed herself in the waters of Siming Lake, she felt the scales on her body gradually heating up, and the blood in her body churning.

Moreover, my body seems to be gradually getting bigger, and it feels like something is growing out of four places on my abdomen.

Bai Ruxue recalled the lesson Xiao Mo had given her and realized that she was regressing to her ancestral nature.

At each stage, one's body will evolve into a part of a dragon.

Once you enter the sea, you will transform into a dragon, also known as a hidden dragon. At this point, you only need to undergo the Nine Dragons Profound Thunder Tribulation to obtain the Dragon Thunder Liquid.

Taking a deep breath of water, Bai Ruxue crossed Siming Lake and swam into the Chunsong River.

"Why is this snake in such a hurry to undergo its tribulation?" Wei Yuan asked in surprise.

He had encountered snake-clan members undergoing tribulation before.

Normally, the snake race will take a break after each level they pass.

This was the first time he had ever seen a white python so eager to undergo its tribulation.

"Very well, it's time for me to make my move."

Wei Yuan shook his head, stopped thinking about it, and prepared to fight the white python.

Admittedly, this white python appears to be relatively docile, unlike other vicious snakes that cause floods and devastation on both banks of the river.

but.

If this snake is killed and brought to one's own territory, its corpse will nourish the land for thousands of miles, which is far more beneficial than the dragon rain that follows.

"Boom!" As Bai Ruxue entered the Chunsong River, large raindrops poured down, and thunder roared incessantly in the sky.

The waters of the Chunsong River surged incessantly.

Huge waves crashed against Bai Ruxue's body.

Bai Ruxue was clearly swimming downstream, but the river was flowing backward, preventing her from swimming any further.

In Chunsong Town, every household stayed indoors.

Everyone looked at the lightning and thunder in the sky, and at the torrential rain.

Everyone was terrified, as if the world had come to an end.

"Mother, why is the rain so heavy today?"

A little girl with pigtails nestled in her mother's arms.

This was the first time she had ever seen such heavy rain in her life.

"Mother doesn't know either." The young, beautiful woman shook her head and gently patted her daughter's back.

"Mother, Grandpa Wang heard that heavy rain will cause floods. Will we be in trouble?" the little girl asked anxiously.

"No, it won't happen," the girl's father replied. "Our Chunsong River was dredged and the Chunsong Weir was built more than ten years ago under the personal supervision of Prime Minister Xiao. Although the rain is heavy, it can withstand it. Besides, the county magistrate has already taken the soldiers there. Don't worry, my dear."

"Oh wow."

The little girl nodded.

The little girl couldn't understand what her father was saying.

But the little girl knew that the old Prime Minister Xiao was very powerful. It was because of him that Chunsong County had become a fertile land, and she could have enough to eat every year.

At Chunhe Weir, the county magistrate, along with two thousand soldiers transferred from the prefecture, were carrying bags of clay oxen back and forth, ready for battle.

"It's all thanks to the projects left behind by the late Prime Minister Xiao!"

Looking at the surging river, the magistrate of Chunsong County sighed inwardly.

Otherwise, this downpour would really wash away his official hat.

"Speaking of which, how did the Prefect know that there would be torrential rain in the next few days?" the magistrate of Chunsong County pondered, stroking his chin.

"Look, sir!"

Just then, a county magistrate standing nearby shouted.

The magistrate of Chunsong County looked up and saw a white python, over twelve zhang long, rising from the Chunsong River!

A flash of lightning illuminated the enormous snake head.

"Oh my god!"

The magistrate of Chunsong County was so frightened that he fell to the ground.

And in the next instant, the Dragon-Slaying Sword and the Dragon-Binding Lock under the Chunsong River Bridge flew out backward.

All that could be seen were two illusory old men appearing.

They are imbued with the fortune of the mountains and rivers and the incense offerings of the people.

Each of them gripped a dragon-slaying sword and a dragon-binding lock, and stepped into the air towards the giant serpent.

The two elderly men are Gai Sanqiu, the river god of Chunsong River, and Wei Yuan, the mountain god of Changqing Mountain.

"You beast! Stop your arrogance, we're here to take you down!"

Gai Sanqiu and Wei Yuan manifested their Dharma forms, each over twenty feet tall, and attacked Bai Ruxue.

"cough cough"

Just as Bai Ruxue was preparing to fight, the sound of an old man coughing echoed throughout the land.

"Hooo!"

In an instant, the thirty-zhang-long black dragon knocked the river god and mountain god to the ground.

An old man dressed in a blue robe appeared in the air, looking calmly at the mountain and river god.

"Xiao Mo!" Gai Sanqiu stood up, recognized the newcomer's face, and roared, "You, a mortal saint of the human race, holding the position of prime minister, actually helped a beast to cross the river!"

Xiao Mo raised his head, his hands behind his back, the rain soaking his blue robe.

Between heaven and earth, only the old man's calm voice could be heard:

"Why not?"
