At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 714 The Earth Dragon Turns Over
The mountains of Wu Gorge are steep and beautiful, the water of Wu Gorge is fast and dangerous, and the clouds of Wu Gorge are full of romantic colors. For example, the word Wushan Cloud and Rain comes from here to describe a certain kind of intimacy between men and women. comminicate.

Therefore, to see the clouds in Wushan, it is best to have cloudy and rainy weather, but the weather is not beautiful. Gao Bufan and others have been driving in the Wu Gorge for the past few days. It is sunny and cloudless, but I have no chance to see the legendary Wushan clouds and rain. up.

On this day, the cargo ship was finally about to sail out of Wu Gorge. A boatman pointed to the highest mountain in front of him and said, "Look, you two, that is Wushan, and Wu Gorge got its name from it. After passing Wushan , Qutang Gorge is in front of it, Qutang Gorge is the shortest, only a dozen miles, and it can be completed in half a day, and the waterway behind is much easier to walk.”

Sure enough, within half a day, the cargo ship sailed out of Qutang Gorge. The mountains on both sides of the strait began to become lower, and the river surface became broad and gentle. There was a feeling of enlightenment, and everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhong Laoliu said with a relaxed expression: "Finally out of the gorge!" After speaking, he pointed to a lush mountain peak on the north bank, and introduced: "There is Baidi City where Liu Huangshu Tuogu lived."

Uncle Liu Huang is Liu Bei, the lord of Shu. He suffered a disastrous defeat in the battle with Soochow. He fled from Jingzhou downstream to Badi in embarrassment. When he sailed to Baidi City, he was seriously ill. The prime minister Zhuge Liang was summoned, and before his death, he entrusted his son Liu Adou to Zhuge Liang, and the latter also did his best and died. The incident of Liu Huangshu Baidicheng entrusting Gu to Gu became an allusion.

Gao Bufan and Yang Qingruo couldn't help being fascinated, so they decided to visit Baidi City.However, just as the cargo ship was heading towards the mountain where Baidi City was located, a boat sailed in front of it, with a pale goat skull hanging on the bow, it was the boat of the Miao brothers and sisters.

Gao Bufan couldn't help but have a weird idea in his heart, but in the next second, an extreme sense of crisis suddenly emerged, so that Gao Bufan's hair was blown up, he grabbed Yang Qingruo next to him subconsciously, and shouted: "Be careful!" !"

Yang Qingruo was taken aback for a moment, but immediately drew out the sword at his waist. At this moment, the originally calm river shook violently, setting off endless waves, and the big boat also swayed crazily. Caught off guard, a boatman fell straight down and overturned into the river.

"This is... what's going on?"

It was obviously the first time that Yang Qingruo had encountered such a situation, her complexion changed drastically, and there was a trace of fear in her beautiful eyes, there was no way, the scene was too terrifying, the originally calm river suddenly became like boiling water, and the torrent surged wildly , and in some places, a huge vortex appeared, as if a giant beast was making waves under the water, so that even the huge cargo ship lost control, and kept throwing and falling, as if it would capsize at any time.

"The earth dragon turned over, the earth dragon turned over, hold on fast!" Zhong Laoliu panicked and grabbed the rudder of the boat. Some boatmen tried to rescue the companion who fell into the water, but they failed.

Suddenly there was a muffled sound, it turned out that the cargo ship of Gao Bufan and others collided heavily with the boat of the Miao brothers and sisters, and people on both boats fell into the water, including one of Gao Bufan's personal soldiers.

Fortunately, the river suddenly stopped shaking at this time, and the two sides hurriedly rescued people onto the boat. However, at this moment, there seemed to be a muffled thunder in the sky. Gao Bufan looked up and saw white smoke rising from the nearby mountain peaks. Suddenly, my heart was shocked, and I shouted: "Beware of falling rocks!"

As soon as Gao Bufan finished speaking, he saw a huge rock rolling down from a high place, and there were countless small stones mixed in it.

Obviously, there was a violent earthquake. No wonder the river was overwhelmed, and even the boulders on the mountain were shaken down. Tsk tsk, human beings are too small in front of nature. Although Gao Bufan and Yang Qingruo are extremely A master, but if he is hit by a falling rock from the mountain, he will be turned into a meat paste in an instant.

"Abandon the boat!" Gao Bufan didn't even think about it, he took Yang Qingruo by the end and plunged into the river, desperately swimming far away.

Gao Dahe, Zhong Laoliu, the boatman, Miao brothers and sisters all jumped into the river one after another, swimming frantically with all their strength.

boom……

With a loud noise, a huge boulder weighing more than a thousand catties fell from a height of [-] meters. The power can be imagined. Zhong Laoliu's cargo ship was smashed into pieces in an instant, setting off a huge wave nearly tens of meters high. Smaller rocks fell like raindrops, smashing the boat of the Miao family brothers and sisters. A Miao man and two boatmen were unfortunately hit by the falling rocks and sank to the bottom of the river without a sound.

Gao Bufan dared to stay there, and led Yang Qingruo to swim quickly to the flat ground on the south bank, and then turned back to save others.

Gao Bufan was very good at water, and quickly rescued Gao Dahe and two soldiers ashore. One of the soldiers was hit on the forehead by a small stone, his head was bleeding, and he was dying. I don't know if he can be saved.

"Dahe, stop the bleeding and bandage him!" Gao Bufan ordered, and plunged into the river again to save Zhong Laoliu. The latter was hit by falling rocks on his left hand, and his two heads were rotten, bloody and bloody.

"Thank you, Mr. Gao!" Zhong Laoliu gritted his teeth and looked pained.

"Brother, brother!" Miao girl Aunt looked at the river and screamed in panic.

At this time, most of the people in the middle of the river have gone ashore, and the Miao girl Auntie seems not to have been injured, but there are two bloody Miao people lying on the ground next to her. Then he disappeared, and it is estimated that it is more than auspicious.

Gao Bufan glanced across the river like lightning, and suddenly saw a figure floating down the river a few tens of meters downstream. It seemed to be that A Qing, so he hurriedly said to Yang Qingruo, "I'm going to save people."

After Gao Bufan finished speaking, he plunged into the river and quickly chased after him. Yang Qingruo knew Gao Bufan's nature against the sky and water, so he was not too worried, and the Miao girl was obviously concerned about the safety of her elder brother, and jumped into the river.

However, at this moment, the ground began to shake violently again, and the river boiled again, setting off huge waves, which immediately submerged Gao Bufan's figure. Yang Qingruo's heart immediately rose to her throat, and she cried out in surprise.

Suddenly a huge vortex appeared on the surface of the river, sucking Miao Nu over at once. The latter was clearly aware of the danger, and desperately paddled his limbs, trying to break free from the suction of the vortex, but it was in vain. The vortex was like a terrifying bird With a bloody mouth, he sucked her in bit by bit.

Yang Qingruo has always been cold-hearted and soft-hearted, so how could he see death without saving him? There happened to be a bamboo pole on the bank, so he hurriedly picked up the bamboo pole and plunged into the river, and quickly swam towards the Miao girl's concubine.

"Catch it!" Yang Qingruo stretched out the bamboo pole, and Miao Nu's grandmother hurriedly grabbed the bamboo pole and used her strength to break free from the vortex, and quickly swam back to the shore, but at this time the vortex was getting bigger and bigger, making people daunting. Obviously, either there was a huge crack in the bottom of the river, or there was a huge rock blocking the water flow, so the turbulent vortex was formed.

Seeing the huge vortex in the river, Aunt Miao's complexion was pale, and she said to Yang Qingruo after a long time, "Thank... thank you!"

Yang Qingruo was still in the mood to pay attention to her at the moment, but looked down the river anxiously, but seeing the surging river, rocks constantly falling from the cliffs on the bank, and smoke and dust rising up, there was no trace of Gao Bufan?

Yang Qingruo's complexion was pale, her whole body was cold, and her tender body trembled slightly. Although Gao Lang's water quality was against the sky, it was too scary for the earth dragon to turn over, especially the rolling rocks. Even the bones can't resist it.

"Don't worry, they'll be fine!" Miao Nu's concubine comforted Yang Qingruo in turn.

"It's all your fault, Gao... If something happens to my elder brother, I won't forgive you!" Yang Qingruo was anxious, her eye circles were red, and she glared at Auntie Miao and said sharply.

Auntie Miao couldn't help but look aggrieved. She wanted to refute a few words, but thinking that the other party saved her life just now, she could only bear it silently, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry!"

It was only then that Yang Qingruo realized that she had lost her composure, but it was obviously impossible to apologize. With a sullen face, she unfolded her body and chased downstream.

Auntie Miao hesitated for a moment, then followed suit.
