I am a fairy

Chapter 120 Ba Xia Carrying a Blender
The wizard's chariot was heading for the riverside, and it had not gone two miles when it saw this scene.

"God and witch, there are people ahead."

"It seems like everyone knows we are coming."

Although the mask concealed the witch's face, one could tell that her mood had changed.

As the shaman's carriage approached the river, it saw groups of people gathering around it.

Someone cleared the way, and soldiers holding lanterns pushed through the crowd. A figure walked out from the crowd and came to the side of the imperial carriage.

Wen Ji stepped forward and said, "It really is a witch."

The divine witch moved his hands, and the sorcerer standing beside the carriage stepped forward to convey a message on behalf of the divine witch: "The divine witch is about to perform a ritual and cannot leave the carriage. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Wen Ji also had no complaints: "Of course, of course, the witch's actions to save the people are a blessing for the people of Yinzhou."

That sentence: "In the year of Guichen, the heaven and earth changed dramatically. A group of dragons emerged from thousands of mountains and rivers, headed for the Yangtze River, and then rushed to the sea, intending to defy the will of heaven and transform into dragons."

Although Jin Ao only told a few people, such as the Yin Yang Taoist and the He Taoist, Xihe and Jingu County also took action immediately.

In addition, it also includes Lucheng County Prince Wen Ji.

Wen Ji immediately stepped aside and ordered his men to clear the way.

The wizard finally arrived at the riverside. The Tiangong tribe isolated this place, and Liu Hu went forward to pay his respects.

Divine wizard: "Liu Hu?"

The wizard didn't say anything, but just called out a name from the carriage, and the tiger-like man immediately knelt on the ground.

Liu Hu did not wear the tiger-head ghost helmet today, so one could see that he looked nervous.

Although the wizard's words were calm, the question-like tone of calling out his name made him feel the wizard's emotions. The other party was implicitly asking him why the news of his coming was known to everyone.

"It's Liu Hu's fault for not thinking it through."

"It was previously rumored among river workers that this dragon embankment was built with the will of the people as its heart and made of fine steel and divine iron as its bones, but now it is still missing the last piece of flesh and blood."

"So as soon as I dispersed the river workers and the people on the river bank, some people guessed that the witch was coming."

Liu Hu admitted that he did not handle the matter well, but he also explained that it was not his mouth that leaked the news, but the people here guessed it.

This is also normal.

With so many river workers and people working here, some news naturally cannot be concealed.

However, the wizard was worried that if the news was leaked from Liu Hu, since his mouth was so unreliable, the wizard also doubted whether he could do a good job as the head of the Tiangong tribe.

At this point, the wizard said no more.

The divine wizard stepped down from the chariot and gave instructions to the shamans under his seat.

"Get ready quickly."

Afterwards, the wizard looked at Liu Hu.

"Go and guard outside. Things have come to this point, don't let anything else happen."

"The dragon I summoned today is not the dragon you have seen before. If a mortal gets close to it, life or death is unpredictable."

Liu Hu replied loudly: "Yes, Liu Hu will definitely not let anyone in."

The sun had already set, and the silver moonlight was shining across the river.

The wizard also held a lantern, which was reflected on the water, making it look like there were two moons on the river.

The wizard began to chant the spell.

"I now obey the order of Lord Yunzhong and summon the wandering dragons from all corners of the world to obey my orders."

"..."

The sound was like the melodious sound of a flute, slowly floating across the calm surface of the river and into the deep water.

As the spell was chanted, a huge monster emerged under the moonlight in the distance.

Coming against the current.

Getting closer.

As the huge creature came from the center of the river, an extremely huge dragon appeared in everyone's eyes.

Its scales appeared a simple earthy color in the moonlight, but its eyes were like two shining pearls, shining brighter and brighter towards the shore.

The dragon looked extremely ferocious, and the river allowed it to run wild. However, when it saw the shadow of the man wearing a cloud-patterned robe and a divine mask holding a lantern by the river, it seemed to be suppressed by the chanting and slowly approached.

The shaman used the lamp as a guide to lead the dragon offspring from Naha.

Under the cover of night, the rising tide of the river continuously creates waves that beat against the shore.

Naha finally approached the witch with the lantern and surrendered.

Hundreds of feet behind.

The scholars who had been standing for a long time waiting on the river bank, the farmers and children who were squatting on the slope chasing away mosquitoes, and the river workers standing on the old embankment, all started shouting.

In an instant, the same words were echoing everywhere.

"The dragon is coming, the dragon is coming."

Others say.

"What dragon? It's Baxia, the mythical beast Baxia."

"Ba Xia is the dragon."

The scholars were very excited when they saw the bright moon shining on the river and the shaman holding a lantern to lead the dragon.

"Today is a sunny day with a bright moon. This is the first time I have seen a dragon so clearly. I have no regrets in this life."

"Yes, yes, it is so magnificent. The gods have descended to the mortal world and summoned dragons. I must compose a poem today."

"I want to paint a picture to pass this scene down to future generations for them to see."

On the slope.

The crowd went to higher places, crowded together and looked into the distance.

"I have learned a lot in my life. This is what a dragon looks like."

"Hey, why is this dragon different from the one I saw before?"

“It seems different.”

"It doesn't look like a dragon?"

"Could it be that the dragon summoned by the witch today is another dragon from the river?"

"The wizard is going to build a dragon embankment. This embankment is not an ordinary thing. It seems that the wizard has summoned a more powerful dragon."

"But it looks like the dragon is still the boss."

"I heard from the river workers that Baxia has the magical power to turn mud into stone. If the wizard wants to build the Dragon Dike, he must summon Baxia."

"Why is it a snail shell?"

"I heard that Baxia is the bloodline born from a true dragon and a turtle. Could it be that..."

"I heard there is a snail fairy in the Dragon Palace, so this must be the case."

There are many different opinions, and each one of them sounds very logical. The scholars quote from classics, and the villagers talk about ancient rumors.

Even if someone has never been to school and can't tell any ancient legends, he or she can still make up two stories for you on the spot based on his or her imagination.

Under the moonlight, I could see Nabashita holding his head high.

Then, the huge shell on the dragon's back began to turn, making a huge roar.

One sound after another, starting slowly and then getting faster and faster.

It sounded like a dragon roaring.

Ordinary people have never seen such a commotion, and this time, it became even more obvious that the dragon was alive.

moment.

The riverside became quiet.

The dragon roared, and no one dared to speak. They could only let the dragon roar in the dark and show off its power.

If it were an ordinary day, seeing this scene, people would not only be shocked and frightened to the point of trembling legs, but would probably immediately start running for their lives in groups.

but.

At this moment, the figure holding the lantern by the river gives people a feeling of peace of mind, as well as the confidence to stay here.

Although compared with the shadow of the lantern, Ba Xia seemed like a mountain.

But in the eyes of everyone, the situation seemed to be reversed at this moment. The wizard holding the lamp was the mountain, pressing down the tyrant so hard that he could not breathe.

"The wizard is really powerful. Look at that dragon. It's so obedient."

"Such a huge divine beast, after reciting a spell, I dare not move."

"That's the curse passed down by Yun Zhongjun."

then.

Everyone watched as the dragon's head moved and stretched out little by little, becoming very long.

The neck continued to extend, rising high into the shore, and then began to sway left and right, adjusting its position.

Under the moonlight.

This scene is really creepy.

"hiss!"

When everyone saw the dragon sticking its head out, they couldn't help but retract their heads and clamp their arms tightly.

It was as if they were afraid that the neck of the "dragon" in the distance would suddenly extend to their heads and then bite off their heads.

Along with the sound of "dragon roar", the divine beast Ba Xia spit out a vast amount of mud from its mouth.

The mud was poured into the "skeleton" that had already been cast in the river embankment.

Continuous and endless flow.

From a distance, it looked as if Ba Xia had spit out his own flesh and blood and poured it into the river bank.

The tyrant comes and goes, goes and comes.

Sometimes, you can even see another Ba Xia with a turtle shell on its back appearing by the river, but after a while, no one knows where it will go. This continued until dawn.

The wizard retracted his magic powers and extinguished the dragon-attracting glass fairy lamp.

After getting on the imperial carriage, he originally wanted to leave quietly, but as soon as he left the river, he alarmed the people who had been waiting all night.

There were figures kneeling on both sides of the road.

This is not only the magical power of the kneeling wizard, but also the virtue of the kneeling wizard. The crowd may come to watch the fun, but they also understand better why the wizard came to build the embankment.

In order to protect the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait from suffering disasters.

As the witch went away.

The crowd then dared to get closer to take a look at the Dragon Dike. When they got closer and took a closer look, they saw that the dike was indeed covered in flesh and blood.

Although the shelf has not been dismantled yet, the texture inside can already be roughly seen.

Standing below and looking up, it seems like a small mountain range stretches into the distance, locking the river and the waves inside.

"Dragon Dike."

“The real Dragon Dyke.”

"It's done. It's really done."

"Look at this dike, it's as solid as a rock."

"Golden soup is nothing. This is used to suppress dragons. How can it be compared with ordinary things?"

Everyone says that this dragon embankment has the will of the people as its heart, steel as its bones, and hegemony as its flesh and blood.

The cheers were overwhelming, and everyone seemed united at this moment. The saying "take the people's wishes as your own" seemed to be demonstrated here.

However, the dragon dike currently built is only a part of it.

The third phase of the project has just begun, and it will take some time before the actual Dragon Dike is completed.
-
By the river, on the high slope.

The morning mist spread from the river, and all around were farmers and peddlers, all speaking the Lucheng dialect and behaving in a crude manner.

But there was a group of people at the bottom of the slope who seemed out of place. They were leading horses, wearing silk clothes, and their accents were not local. It was obvious at first glance that they were from other places.

His every move is measured, and I think he is a man of status.

The leader looked to be in his forties or fifties, with a fair, square face and no beard.

He stood in front, quietly watching what was happening in the distance. He had not moved for several hours and seemed to have turned into a stone statue.

And around him, the people he brought were whispering.

Among them were strong-looking guards, long-bearded scholars wearing crowns, and hunched-backed and beardless young men and boys.

"Wu, is this the witch of Chu, the divine witch passed down from ancient times?"

"I have heard about the witches and shamans in Chu for a long time. Seeing them today is really beyond words."

"What does it mean to be unspeakable?"

"I can't say it, I can't say it. I have lived my whole life in vain, always thinking that I have never seen anything. Today I finally understand what it means to be a frog in a well."

"Baxia, this is a species of dragon from mythology, hiding in Yinzhou."

"It's a pity that I couldn't get closer just now so that I could get some of the dragon's energy."

"I haven't heard people here say that the dragon is extremely ferocious. If we get close, I'm afraid it will swallow us up in an instant."

Although the people in Lucheng and on both sides of Xihe River were very excited, they had expected it or had long been accustomed to the existence of gods, wizards and dragons.

But for these outsiders, the shock was far greater than for others.

The long night of Fang Jing is full of unspeakable weirdness, but also full of strong attraction.

at last.

The beardless white-faced man moved and looked at the others.

The others all saluted, and it seemed that he was the leader of this group.

This person spoke calmly and with a friendly power that made people feel no pressure at all.

"Your Majesty, let me come and see if there is really an auspicious sign. Is it really a manifestation of immortals or some evil spirit playing tricks?"

"I didn't expect to see such a scene as soon as I arrived. This must be God's will."

"really."

"Your Majesty is blessed with great fortune, and is the reincarnation of a god or Buddha."

"That's why the ancient gods appeared. Even ancient mythical beasts like Baxia appeared in the world. This must be to help Your Majesty create a prosperous era."

After hearing this, everyone spoke up.

"It is all because of your majesty's benevolence and self-cultivation that such auspicious signs have come to the world."

"The gods have appeared, and the divine beasts have appeared. This shows that our dynasty is prosperous and the people are full of righteousness."

"..."

Everyone talked incessantly, with eloquent speeches.

The white-faced, beardless man raised his hand, and everyone quieted down and listened to him speak.

"Your Majesty asked us to come here this time, first of all to verify whether this auspicious sign is true or not, and whether the divine witch really has magical powers."

"Now, this first thing seems to be beyond doubt. Don't you think so?"

Everyone had just witnessed the scene of the wizard holding a lantern to attract the dragon, and they had already made up their minds. Moreover, when the white-faced beardless man said this, he naturally did not want to hear any opposition.

Although the other party spoke in a gentle voice, everyone knew his power and responded in unison.

"Yes, yes, yes."

"I heard that the witch is the incarnation of the ancient god Yun Zhongjun in the human world. It is not an exaggeration to regard him as a land immortal."

“If you don’t have true magic power, how can you control the divine beast Ba Xia, and how can you have such magical power to build this dragon-suppressing dam.”

"We have never seen the auspicious signs you mentioned before, but what we saw just now was real to us and it cannot be fake."

"In my opinion, there is no need to ask the first question."

The white-faced, beardless man nodded with a smile on his face.

"Okay, okay, it seems that everyone agrees."

"His Majesty said that if the first thing is done well and it is confirmed to be a true auspicious sign, the imperial edict can be produced."

"I feel relieved now. It is the true God who came down to protect our dynasty, not someone who is cheating us."

“That’s the second thing.”

Everyone looked at the white-faced, beardless man quietly, waiting for him to say the third thing, and sure enough, he continued.

"As for the third thing."

The white-faced, beardless man pondered for a moment, then raised his head.

"Don't be in a hurry. Let someone tell the Prince of Lucheng to prepare to receive the decree!"

Everyone left the riverside in a mighty procession and headed towards Lucheng.
-
Wen Ji also stayed by the river all night. He not only personally welcomed the arrival of the wizard, but also personally saw him off.

Finally, he personally went to the riverside to take a look at the Dragon Dike and see what the dike, which was built last night with the power of the mythical beast, looked like.

After looking at it, he ordered his subordinates to keep an eye on the place and not let anyone cause any trouble, and then he mobilized more manpower and resources to make this happen.

I have to say that sentence.

"In the year of Guichen, the heaven and earth changed dramatically. A group of dragons emerged from thousands of mountains and rivers, headed for the Yangtze River, and then rushed to the sea, intending to defy the will of heaven and transform into dragons."

Still exceptionally powerful.

This made everyone who knew this sentence feel a sense of crisis. No matter if it was a small country Taoist priest or him, the lord of Yinzhou, everyone felt panicked when they heard this sentence.

Their pressure turned into a force that was transmitted to other people, making everyone move.

Today, seeing that the Dragon Dike was initially completed, and although it was just a quick glimpse, it gave people a feeling of suppression like the immovable Mount Tai, and Wen Ji felt much more at ease.

Wen Ji returned to the mansion.

Before he had time to enter the mansion to rest, someone came to report to him.

This man was an official from the governor's office. He was standing outside Wen Ji's residence in official uniform and seemed to have been waiting for Wen Ji for a long time.

When they saw Wen Ji's carriage and horse convoy returning, they immediately came forward to greet him. Wen Ji's guards and entourage also recognized him and let him in.

"Governor, someone from the imperial court is here."

Wen Ji's eyes immediately became serious and he asked.

"Did you say what you were here for?"

The other party said, "It is said that there is an imperial decree, and the governor is asked to be prepared to receive it. The team that will announce the decree will arrive in the afternoon."

Wen Ji: "Who is coming?"

Generally, there are two types of people who announce the imperial decree. One is the imperial envoy.

There is another type, which naturally comes from the eunuchs in the palace.

"Not sure, it looks like they are from the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

"They didn't say who the leader was, but when I heard them talking, I seemed to say his surname was Ma."

When Wen Ji heard this, he immediately guessed the identity of the visitor.

"It must be Ma Fu. He has always been by your Majesty's side. Why is he here?"

The official said: "It is said that they arrived last night and stayed at the post station outside the city. But when I went there, I found that the leading few people had gone to nowhere, and I couldn't find out anything when I asked them."

Wen Ji suddenly thought of what happened last night and spoke immediately.

"Did he go to the riverside?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Wen Ji immediately guessed what the other party was here for.

The solemn expression on Wen Ji's face faded and a slight smile appeared.

"I guess the auspicious event reported earlier has come to fruition."
