Elaborate on the world of mortals

Chapter 837 The Flood is Coming

Yi Shuyuan actually felt strongly familiar with this dilapidated Taoist temple, but his knowledge of the Way of Heaven and Earth and the transformation of the Heavenly Demon also gave him a far greater insight into this demonic world than anyone else.

People who enter the devil's realm are also part of the devil's realm.

This Taoist temple, to some extent, is also a manifestation of a certain level of Yi Shuyuan's inner world.

However, this manifestation is also in the devil's realm, and of course it will deviate from the true inner heart, but it doesn't hurt to take a look.

Yi Shuyuan looked back at the leaking Taoist temple, and that feeling was indeed correct.

"This means that I have always thought highly of myself, and I think that what I feel is the truth, but in fact it is stale and dilapidated, leaking everywhere. Good scolding, good scolding!"

The changes of the Good Demon are a different perspective to look at the mind. My mind is not perfect, but the imperfections are not scary.

Yi Shuyuan put away the copper coins and stood up. He was still wearing the same clothes he wore when he was refining the elixir in Cangshan, but they had become a little worn.

Standing in front of the door of this temple, even if it is raining, the occasional lightning can illuminate everything, and wherever the sight falls, the familiar feeling becomes more obvious.

However, Yi Shuyuan did not resist at all, nor did he remind himself in his heart that everything was fake. Instead, he felt a sense of emotion.

It looks so familiar, I didn't expect to see it again.
“In memory” this time, it was Yi Shuyuan himself who found this place during his hysteria.

This Taoist temple is the one where Yi Shuyuan woke up after going crazy in the devil's realm for twenty years. However, compared to the past, the Taoist temple he saw this time was completely deserted and dilapidated.

"Rumble"

Lightning illuminated the earth again, and the silted old ditches in the dilapidated Taoist temple were overflowing with muddy water.

Yi Shuyuan looked at it this way. The wind and rain were the signs of the elixir. Thinking back to the waves and lotus flowers rolling in the elixir furnace, this heavy rain was probably one of the phenomena of the rapid gathering of spiritual energy.

This time it was caused by the pill tribulation. No matter what, it will all end up with the pill. Yi Shuyuan couldn't care less about what happened to others in this devilish realm, and he didn't have that much energy, after all, there were too many people.

As an alchemist, what Yi Shuyuan has to do is to help the Douzhuan Qiankun furnace and the elixir energy in it to survive the elixir tribulation. As long as the elixir tribulation is over, the devilish realm will be resolved and everyone will be saved. However, it is likely that some people will inevitably have sequelae deep in their hearts.

"My fellow Taoists, I wish you good luck."

After watching the wind and rain for a long time, Yi Shuyuan felt sleepy. He used the old door panel as a bed in the corner near the door of the hall, spread out the old flags in the hall, and curled up to sleep.

When Yi Shuyuan woke up, it was already dawn, but the rain had not stopped completely, but the rain had become lighter and turned into a drizzle.

Yi Shuyuan walked out of the Taoist temple and searched on the mountain path for a while. Soon he arrived at a hill not far from the Taoist temple. The grave of the old Taoist priest in the temple was still there, but the wooden board that served as the tombstone was replaced by a not very regular stone slab with words engraved on it. It was unknown how many years ago it was replaced.

"Master, I came here in a hurry and didn't bring anything with me. Please don't despise my small gift!"

Yi Shuyuan placed a handful of wild berries he picked on the way in front of the tomb, bowed and left. Before he completely got down the mountain, the rain started falling again.

Of course, it is the turn of spring and summer now, so it seems normal to have a lot of rain.

The mountain road was difficult to walk on, but Yi Shuyuan walked very fast. Even though he could not use his immortal magic power, he was an alchemist and had the transformation of the devil, which allowed him to fight against the devil to a certain extent. He was already a very unique existence in this world.

Trekking through mountains and rivers was no problem for Yi Shuyuan. He drank dew and ate wild fruits to satisfy his hunger, observed the rain and water levels, and occasionally observed the stars and celestial phenomena. In addition, his own divination was enough to keep Yi Shuyuan from losing his way and keep moving forward towards the direction in his mind.

Compared to other Taoists who live a peaceful or comfortable life in this world, it is normal for Yi Shuyuan to cross mountains and rivers and sleep in the open air, which is relatively full of hardships.

On this day, a pair of rough and scratched hands were trembling as they grasped a rock on the cliff. Under the arms was a body wearing tattered clothes, and beads of sweat covered Yi Shuyuan's face.

Suddenly, Yi Shuyuan missed a step and almost fell down.

As the rocks fell, Yi Shuyuan held on to the rocks above with both hands.

After a long time, Yi Shuyuan finally climbed to the top of the steep mountain.

"Ho ho. Ho."

After panting for a long time, Yi Shuyuan finally stood up and looked into the distance. He was in a special circular basin mountain. The location he chose was one of the highest spots. The terrain was so steep that even some skilled herbalists could not come up.

At this moment, looking from far and near, this circular mountain seems to be vaguely like a lotus.
Yi Shuyuan reached out to hold onto a tree beside him, looking down at the deserted area surrounded by mountains, with a deep pool of water in the center.

Before I came here, the herbalists nearby said that this place is extremely dangerous, especially the interior of Lotus Mountain, which must not be entered, otherwise no one, whether human or animal, can come back.

"Rumble"

Thunder sounded in the sky again, and it seemed like it was going to rain again. Yi Shuyuan frowned, knowing that he had to go down the mountain before the heavy rain came, otherwise he would definitely be trapped here.

But Yi Shuyuan did not leave, and he was not worried that he would be struck by lightning, because after seeing the terrain here, he knew that the location he calculated would not be wrong, so at least here, the lightning would not fall on him.

"Wow, wow, wow."

The heavy rain started to fall again. Yi Shuyuan huddled under a tree and stared at the pool of water over there. He had several guesses in his mind, but only by seeing it with his own eyes could he confirm the "temperature" and "direction" at the moment.

"Crack. Boom"

A thunderous sound like an explosion sounded, and lightning fell from the sky directly below, which scared Yi Shuyuan. However, his eyes never left the deep pool. The lightning fell directly into the pool water, illuminating the darkness of the deep water below in an instant.

"Huh, sure enough!"

At this moment, Yi Shuyuan stood up directly. There was a monster like a giant snake lurking in the deep of the pool, but it was obvious that it looked more like a dragon than a snake!
But it wasn't a pure dragon, because it was actually a large amount of Dan Qi that was gathering into a pill! Yi Shuyuan took a deep breath and realized something, or at this moment, he truly understood the nature of this Dan disaster!
So sinister!

Is there only one giant dragon or are there more? Yi Shuyuan tends to think there is only one.

But there cannot be only this one stream of Dan Qi, so there must be more than one place where Cheng Jiao's Jedi can be found. Or, to some extent, this world itself can be regarded as being in the Dan furnace, and Cheng Jiao's Jedi may be distributed in all directions.

Yi Shuyuan took out a handful of copper coins from his body and threw them immediately, but the coins were still in the air. Lightning flashed in the sky again. At this moment, the sense of crisis was extremely strong.

"Rumble--"

This ray of lightning was not attracted by the giant dragon in the deep pool, but fell directly on the copper coin thrown by Yi Shuyuan. The lightning caused Yi Shuyuan to fall to the ground and slide out, and his whole body fell directly onto the cliff.

It was thanks to Yi Shuyuan who grabbed the edge of the cliff at the critical moment that he did not fall off the cliff directly, but now he was staring at the pool over there.

"Boom boom. Boom."

It's like there's a big fish tumbling in a bucket full of water, causing the deep pool to stir up huge waves, which are becoming more and more intense.

Lei did not fall directly into the deep pool, and the current situation made Yi Shuyuan extremely frightened. Is he going to escape?

That's impossible! The temperature is not high enough!
"Woohoo. Woohoo woohoo"

The wind and rain grew stronger in a short period of time, with lightning and thunder roaring randomly. Yi Shuyuan held on to the cliff with both hands and climbed up with all his strength.

"Crash, clatter, bang."

The flood water on the other side of the pool directly collapsed a mountain wall, and the flood water continued to fall along the mountain.

"hold head high--"

The giant dragon in the pool let out a dragon roar, and a dragon shadow between visible and invisible rushed out of the deep pool in the mountain along with an even more turbulent current. The water was so huge that it even reached the heights of Lotus Mountain.

"crash"

Yi Shuyuan had just climbed up the cliff when he was nearly washed down by the flood. He struggled to keep his balance and hugged the tree tightly before he finally stabilized himself. Looking towards the outside of the crater, the water had gathered into a mountain torrent and was rolling away!

The dragon is gone?
wrong!

Yi Shuyuan struggled to stand up and looked towards the deep pool over there.

"Rumble"

The thunder struck again, and the lightning illuminated the pool again. The vague shadow of the dragon was still there below, and what just left was a small amount of Dan Qi!

The heavy rain was still falling. Yi Shuyuan didn't dare to make any big moves on the mountain. He rested for a long time and recovered some strength before he went down carefully from a relatively flat side in the heavy rain.

Human power is limited, and perhaps I cannot keep too many pills this time, so I can only do my best.

As for other fellow Taoists, it is already a rare opportunity for them not to get lost in the devil's realm, so most of them cannot be relied upon.

Yes, Yi Shuyuan didn't even have high hopes for the real dragon, unless he had time to find them one by one and find ways to wake them up according to the situations they were in. This time might be just a few days, or it might be several years, dozens of years, or even until the twilight of life.

But this is not just a simple calamity of the inner demon, it is a calamity of the elixir, and the trend of the calamity is determined by the temperature of the elixir. The struggle of each party's state of mind in the calamity is just a means of changing the demonic realm.

There's no time for that!

At this moment, Yi Shuyuan went down the mountain carefully but quickly, with thoughts flashing rapidly in his mind.

To say something conceited but realistic in my heart, from the perspective of the pill tribulation, except for Yi himself, the outer sects can't even fight against this devilish realm!

Many fellow Taoists in the outer sect are only fighting against the changes in their own evil thoughts.

They cannot save Dan Jie. At most, they can only save themselves in the devil's realm. Even then, they cannot save themselves!

Running all the way in the mountains, collecting some herbs along the way, Yi Shuyuan's footsteps never stopped for a moment. He also calculated the direction of the mountain torrent. Even if it was just a burst of Dan Qi, it would not be simple.

Just as Yi Shuyuan expected, the floods gathered and became more and more serious. The mountain torrents gathered mud and rocks. When Yi Shuyuan arrived at the place he had passed before, nearly half of the villages in the mountain villages had been hit by the mountain torrents. However, the floods seemed to be still increasing. Wherever they passed, there was a mess and wailing everywhere.
Yi Shuyuan felt heavy in his heart. Although it was just a drop in the bucket, he still tried his best to help.
-
The same flood did not only break out in the Lotus Mountain area where Yi Shuyuan was located, which confirmed Yi Shuyuan's calculations and thoughts. How could there be only one place where the Dan Qi gathered?

In Shifang Town where Feng Yan is located, Feng Yan is dredging drainage ditches for the fields with his family in the rain today. There has been too much rain in recent days. The paddy fields are fine, but other crops are about to be drowned.

"Rumble, rumble, rumble."

A strange noise seemed to come from a distant place. Feng Yan felt a palpitation in his heart, as if he knew it was some kind of horrible thing, and he just subconsciously looked into the distance.

Shifang Town is located in a flat area in the middle of the mountainous land. Someone in the outer area seemed to have heard the noise. He just glanced over there and his pupils couldn't help but dilate.

When he reacted, the man let out a hysterical roar towards the town.

"The flood is coming—"

"Boom, boom, boom."

The roar was completely drowned out by the flood.
