one person's life

Chapter 201 The Sun Also Rises
Tang Muzhi thought about it for a while, and realized that the body of this snake fairy was dead but his soul was still there, but the blood flowing out of the python corpse had the ability to freeze rivers. If a flood broke out, it was indeed possible to help him, so he negotiated good terms with it and agreed. Come down.

"It's just that my senior's soul left with me, what should I do with my body?"

Yao Qi hissed twice, turning into a black cloud and hiding on the python corpse. After a moment, the writhing headless python corpse began to tremble violently, and then the python body of more than ten meters broke through the ice and soared into the sky. Under the dim night, flesh and blood turned into snake-like monsters. Scarlet eyes stared at Tang Muzhi on the ice, flipping in the air for a week and then pounced on his body.

"Don't...resist..."

Qi Muzhi faced Tang Muzhi's face and penetrated all the seven orifices. Tang Muzhi only felt a cold air coming down from the seven orifices and running through his body. Tang Muzhi felt that every part of his body except the spine went soft, and he felt that all the bones in his body were being pulled away. As if he was dead, one of Tang Mu's eyes had lost the white of his eye, and it was so black that it seemed like it could swallow up all the sunlight.

Upper body!
"Hmm..." Tang Muzhi rolled his left eye, raised his cold arm and looked at it, "This power - surprisingly not bad."

"Your physical body with dual cultivation of life and life is enough for me to release all my strength..."

The words of the Mang Immortal came out through Tang Muzhi's mouth. When he saw the snake letter spit out from his mouth, Tang Muzhi snorted coldly. The Mang Immortal knew that Tang Muzhi didn't like the feeling of being controlled by others, so he actually let go of the control. , one person and one python communicated with each other with their thoughts, and Tang Muzhi also took advantage of this gap to swim towards the shore.

It turns out that the name of this Python Immortal is Xuan Chen. He is a spiritual being who has mastered cultivation in Huama Lake. He has been practicing silently for 300 years. Before the flood broke out, he foresaw the danger in advance. Knowing that the disaster was coming, he was on land. He found a cave to hide and hibernate. Unexpectedly, a flood destroyed a nearby village. More than a hundred people in the village went up the mountain to hide. They happened to meet Xuan Chen who was sleeping.

Farmers would not show mercy when encountering a rare boa constrictor. Dozens of strong men picked up hoes and sickles and spent a whole day and night decapitating its head, burning it to ashes and enshrining it in the nearby Lotus Temple to pray for the flood to recede.

The Lotus Temple enshrines the 33rd Guanyin Master. Naturally, the snake demons in the Xuanchen District do not dare to complain and retaliate, so they have no choice but to let the corpses drift with the river - after all, this is a catastrophe destined by the monsters, and it fell into the trap by mistake. , I just think that I have not practiced enough.

"Good guy...this is the five tribulations of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. What evil have you done before?" Tang Muzhi counted it in detail. This is the five tribulations of thunder. All of them were summoned at once. , all it takes is a thunderstorm.

According to Xuan Chen, seven days after its death, its body was wandering to the Cixian area. Master Guanyin suddenly stepped on a green dragon and descended from the sky. He performed the fearless seal with his left hand, telling Xuan Chen that his head had ascended to the immortal world and became a Buddhist protector. Looking forward to Xuan Chen's remaining corpse being able to ascend as soon as possible, he pointed out a clear path for it: on the [-]th day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar, the day when Guanyin Bodhisattva became a monk, the corpse should be put into a bronze coffin, and then eight men with pure Yin destiny would be found to carry it. The coffin is buried underground in the Lotus Temple, and he can ascend to the immortal world on a selected day.

After hearing this, Tang Muzhi also felt like he was beating a drum in his heart. Can Guanyin fall from the sky in broad daylight these days?How come the floods were so serious and we didn’t see Him saving anyone?Can this be considered a Bodhisattva? There are living Bodhisattvas everywhere under the dam.But what if Xuan Chen really had the ability to save a few living Bodhisattvas and put some effort into sending them to ascend?
"But there's something I don't understand. Xuan Chen, after being reminded by Master Guanyin, why did you think of taking action against us again? You should be merciful."

Xuan Chen was silent for a moment, then smiled gloomily.

"Forget it, now that we have just been robbed, we are not afraid of revealing the secret: a group of dying people, if I use them, I can save them from suffering in the world. Young man, this is called mercy."

After hearing this, Tang Muzhi's face fell like water. Thinking of the resolute faces of those young soldiers, he stepped ashore without saying a word.Black Guan'er had just carried the sleeping soldier into the car and put it in place. The car had just started to ignite. He saw Tang Mu Zhiguang coming. He said hello. After Tang Mu got in the car, Black Guan'er stepped on the accelerator and drove along the track of the car in front. past.

"How's it going? Who's the 'Great Fairy'?" Black Guan'er asked casually when he saw that Tang Mu was fine.

"A dead immortal is on my body now and can't make any waves."

"I'll go, is it true or not?" Black Guan'er shrugged and bared his teeth and said, "It's really awkward. I don't like wizards and Ma Xian'er very much. You can't change the family, right?"

Tang Muzhi rolled his eyes and said, "I heard from Tao Tao and the others that you were fascinated by the girls in Liangshan."

The black man thought of Liangshan's heroic police detective Xiong Feiyan's hot figure during the fight. He blushed and shouted: "Who said that? Who said that? Rumors! Don't slander me..."

Tang Muzhi was focused on what Xuan Chen had said before, and was not in a good mood, so he quickly ended the chat.

"Where are Wang Hao and the others? Were they awake when I swam over?"

Black Guan'er laughed and said: "I slept like crazy. I didn't even turn over when I threw them into the car. If it weren't for the snoring sound like a tractor, I would have thought they were gone - what kind of tricks are you using? I can't hold on."

Tang Muzhi pointed to his head, "Lingtai Fangcunxin, no matter what method he uses, whatever comes out of his head is useful."

"Damn it." Black Guan'er had a dark face and turned his head away jealously.

……

August [-]th, the [-]th day of the sixth lunar month, is Bingyin Day.

Chonglongsha north, everything is not suitable.

In the end, Tang Muzhi was not assigned to the Jiujiang Dam where the disaster was imminent. He wore a camouflage uniform and a life jacket that had been faded by the sun. He rolled up his trousers and rolled up his sleeves. He stood at the Xunjiang Dam wearing an old Jiefang shirt of the same style as Feng Baobao. on the river, looking at the slowly rising and falling river surface in the distance.

The Xunjiang Dam is located northwest of the Jiujiang Dam. It is not large in scale. Tang Muzhi does not know whether this dam will collapse under the impact of the fierce river water like the Jiujiang Dam in history, but there is no doubt that it will. This is also the frontline of flood control. Once the river overflows the Xunjiang Dam, the town residents' committees, villages, and township villages behind will soon be flooded. Several villages to the west may also be affected.In order to protect the lives and property of the people in the downstream villages, the people and soldiers from the entire township rushed to the front line to fight the flood. Of course, the people from the township were all strong men, but the number was basically the same as the soldiers stationed at the Xunjiang Dam.

Wang Hao and his team were assigned here to distribute life-saving suits to the villagers. Many people on the dam were naked and only wore a life-saving suit to save their lives. In addition to people, there were also snakes and insects escaping around the dam. The cave had already been flooded with water. At this time, he was focused on escaping, paying no attention to the crowds of people around him.It is now ten o'clock in the morning. A heavy rain in the early morning the day before yesterday kept all the flood control personnel busy for more than 20 hours. At this time, many people were sleeping in the straw huts under the dam, taking advantage of the hot sun and the lack of wind and waves on the river.

Tang Muzhi's eyesight was amazing, and he saw in advance the waves rising and falling towards the Xunjiang Dam in the distance. He reported it to Wang Hao, and when Wang Hao reported it to the chief, the dam had already begun to shake. The chief urgently ordered Wang Haotang Mu Zhi's class followed a villager preparing to drive piles with a sledgehammer.

When wind and waves rise on the river, they can carry away the topmost earth and rocks. After a period of time, the place where the flood peak hits may be washed away. The gap in the dike will only get bigger and bigger in the face of the rushing torrent, and the dike will continue to weaken.When guarding the embankment, a row of wooden stakes are driven into the river in front of the weak embankment, and reed mats and artemisia bark are tied to the wooden piles. This is another line of defense and can weaken the impact of floods on the embankment.

The wooden stakes were okay. Tang Muzhi and Hei Guan'er went to the forest far downstream in the middle of the night and cut off a piece of bare wood. They went back and forth hundreds of times to transport the wooden stakes to the bottom of the dam. They belonged to two Qi masters. My body is also exhausted - why not get the materials nearby?Because almost all that can be seen around the embankment are bare tree roots.

However, almost all other flood-fighting materials are in short supply, such as mats, iron wire, sacks, sandbags... and life-saving suits. Many soldiers voluntarily delivered life-saving suits to villagers, and dared to jump into the river bare-chested - no Everyone can swim, including some northerners among the soldiers.

When the flood hit, everyone was in panic. The surrounding roads had been flooded, and they were left alone and helpless. They led Wang Hao, Tang Muzhi and his fellow villagers into the water to teach them how to drive piles in the water. After all, they had not received any special flood prevention training. The rich experience of the local villagers helped them buy a lot of time. Tang Muzhi put a life jacket on a soldier with poor water resistance. After driving the piles by himself, seeing that the situation was already very serious, he plunged into the water and gradually checked along the embankment. .

The role of Xuan Chen was revealed at this moment. Tang Muzhi asked it to get on his body. One of his right eyes and tongue turned into a black eye with no white of the eye and a snake letter. The waves would get bigger and no one would be able to stand in the water. , if no one was holding down the wooden piles and the dike, they would soon be washed away by the flood. Tang Muzhi opened his mouth and stretched out the snake letter in the turbid river water. He held the dike with one hand and buried the wooden pile under the water. All parts of it were frozen. This was the solid ice transformed by the evil energy. Unless the evil energy was dissipated, it would not be broken by the impact of water. The ultra-low temperature brought by the freezing magic soon formed on the bottom of the river under the wooden pile. A layer of ice will not float to the surface of the river for the time being.

This is easier said than done. When all the wooden piles turned into icicles, Tang Muzhi was already exhausted from resisting the kinetic energy of the huge wave. The villagers had already left the river, and the soldiers began to evacuate one after another. Tang Muzhi's head had just When he emerged from the water, he saw Wang Hao, who was looking anxiously towards the river with wide eyes. He shouted and jumped into the river and swam towards Tang Muzhi. Even the black pipes could not stop him.

It turned out that a wave was coming down in the direction of Tang Muzhi!He couldn't dodge and was buried under the river again. Wang Hao, who came to support him, was also affected by the waves and his body was out of control. He was bobbing in the river. When Tang Muzhi looked again, he had choked on the water and had no movement. , it seems that he has taken a breath!

Before Xuan Chen could stop his tactics, Tang Muzhi twisted his body as soft as a bone and swam towards Wang Hao. When he got there, he reached out and wrapped his hands around him, closing his mouth and nose. Black Guan'er and several soldiers were on the shore. With all hands and feet, Tang Muzhi pulled the two of them up. Tang Muzhi knelt on the bank of the surging river. He tightened his acupuncture points and pressed them against his chest and abdomen a few times. Wang Haowao spat out from his mouth and nose. The muddy water was so muddy that I didn't lose my life in it.

When Wang Hao woke up and saw Tang Muzhi for the first time, he stood up with a blushing face and yelled at him: "You don't want your fucking life! Why did you take off your armed belt?"

Wang Hao knew that Tang Muzhi was not a soldier, so he used an armed belt to tie the two of them together before going into the water. Tang Muzhi untied them while Wang Hao was not paying attention just before diving in.

Tang Muzhi had to lie to him that he was washed away by the water, and Wang Hao slowly lost his anger.

"Listen to the order! Follow me next time!"

"Yes!"

There are wooden piles frozen on the ground supported by the ice. Although the river is still strong, it has not broken open the Xunjiang River dam. Especially the wooden piles standing on the river like a needle to fix the sea. They are resisting the waves and cannot move up and down, transferring most of the kinetic energy. They all resisted.The villagers and soldiers gained temporary peace. From the shaking of the dike to the surging waves being blocked by wooden piles and dikes, everyone had been struggling for three hours. At this time, they were all lying on the muddy ground.

In the afternoon, the news of the Jiujiang Dam bursting came, and the crowd suddenly burst into mourning. Some of their relatives and friends were in Jiujiang City. They may have been flooded now, and millions of people will soon become homeless. !
Tang Muzhi wanted to go to the worst-hit place as soon as possible to provide relief, but soon the dark sky was filled with dark clouds, crackling thunder and lightning flashed, and drizzle soon turned into a sky to pour down. The wind direction was pointing at the location of the dam, and many people Before he could react, the huge waves had risen several meters above the water and hit the embankment hard. The water level increased rapidly. The defense line made of wooden stakes and mats had been breached. Only a bang was heard, and the embankment suddenly shook. It collapsed slightly while trembling, and a large hole was opened in the middle. A rapid current shot through the large hole to the rear. Soon the embankment above the large hole partially collapsed. The huge sound no longer required a gong to remind the soldiers. The soldiers carried the sacks without hesitation. Or straw bags were thrown towards the gap, but the effect was very little. At this time, he didn't care whether he was exposed or not. Tang Muzhi directly called Xuan Chen to get up, lifted up seven or eight sacks and blocked it above the gap, and then stretched out the snake letter to let out a cold breath. Freeze moist sacks and dams together.

The surrounding soldiers were all stunned on the spot, especially Wang Hao next to him who opened his mouth wide enough to swallow a duck egg. Tang Muzhi and Hei Guaner scolded the stunned people at the same time and threw the sacks into the gap. Everyone woke up as if they were dreaming. He followed the instructions with excitement and trepidation. Originally, as soon as the sack was thrown over, it would be swept away by the rapids. Now with the cold air exhaled by Tang Muzhi, the situation began to reverse. The water flow could not break away the ice condensed by the monster energy for a while, so he had to Transfer your strength elsewhere.

The energy in Tang Muzhi's body dropped sharply, but he did not stop his movements until all his true energy was exhausted. Xuan Chen also stayed in Tang Muzhi's body without responding.

"Huh..." Tang Muzhi's mind went blank. He staggered and almost fell to the ground. Wang Hao stepped forward to support him. However, the huge gap formed by the collapse was still not completely blocked. The force of the flood hit him. On the embankments on both sides, the rapids weakened slightly. The chief seized the opportunity and shouted "Build a human wall!"

The soldiers hugged the logs and telegraph poles they had prepared before and inserted them behind the embankment. They sat down next to each other in the water. Tang Muzhi, Wang Hao and Hei Guaner all got on. There were people behind them carrying sacks and straw bales and rushing up. Blocking the gap, Wang Hao tied the armed belt around Tang Mu's waist.

Tang Muzhi looked at the blurry red and yellow picture in front of him, and felt that the force of the torrent had increased again. Wang Hao had moved far away, and it was all because of the armed belt that he could not be swept away.

His ears were filled with heartbreaking screams. Tang Muzhi raised his yin and yang energy to resist for a while. He didn't know how he could hold on. Soon after, the dam collapsed with a roar, and the huge torrent pushed him back. Everything around is swept away.

……

When he woke up again, Tang Muzhi found himself floating on the river and close to the shore. He wanted to sit up, but felt a pull from his waist.

Tang Muzhi looked back and saw that the person closest to him was Wang Hao. Through the water-soaked skin, Tang Muzhi could vaguely identify him.On the surface of the river were a series of corpses wearing camouflage uniforms. Some of their hands were still tightly clasped together, stretching into the distance.

Like the Great Wall made of steel.

Tang Muzhi thought to himself as he sat hunched over in the water.

There were no dark clouds, the sun rose as usual, and there were red ripples on the river.

For the first time, Tang Muzhi experienced the feeling of insignificance. (End of first half)
