I am a fairy

Chapter 132: Mutation

Chapter 132: Mutation (Additional updates, please give me a monthly ticket)

After being addicted to the virtual world for a while, Jiang Chao returned to reality.

He really didn't have any talent for being a virtual world-building engineer, and there wasn't much extra room to visit in the currently empty Haoli.

At this moment.

Compared to Haoli, the years are peaceful and peaceful, as if it were a dream.

In reality, the rainy season is approaching, just like the eve of a rainstorm, the air becomes extremely dull.

In the cabin.

Jiang Chao rarely stayed in front of the screen today, watching the weather forecaster on the screen reporting the weather carefully.

Today, Wangshu was dressed in an intellectual style, wearing formal attire and standing in front of a platform, his hand facing a screen within a screen, introducing the upcoming weather conditions.

"Hello, listeners, welcome to today's weather forecast."

"..."

"With the arrival of the rainy season, our region will experience continuous rainfall for several days, accompanied by temperature fluctuations, and there may be a risk of flooding in some areas."

"According to forecasts, our region will enter a typical plum rain season in the next week, during which there will be continuous rainy weather. The maximum daytime temperature is expected to fluctuate between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius, while the minimum nighttime temperature may drop to around 15 degrees Celsius."

"If the precipitation continues to increase, mountainous areas, low-lying areas and areas around rivers will face a higher risk of flooding, but the relevant departments under our leadership have activated the flood warning mechanism, and the relevant departments Tiangong tribe, Xihe County Shemiao, Jingu County Shemiao and Luyang Shemiao have made emergency preparations."

"Finally, please pay close attention to the subsequent weather forecasts and warnings from the meteorological department, take precautions, and ensure a safe passage through the plum rain season."

“Thank you for listening.”

On the screen, Wangshu had already started pretending to pack up things, although Jiang Chao didn't know what she was packing.

Jiang Chao spoke up and asked the weather forecaster on the screen.

"What can we do?"

The people on the screen actually looked up and said, "Wait, we have done everything we can, we will wait until the rainy season comes and fill in the gaps according to the situation, that's all we can do."

Jiang Chao: "We can only wait. Aren't we called gods? This is too passive. Can we think of another way?"

Weather forecaster: "The gods currently lack the mana and magical powers, and are unable to fight against the heavens and the earth."
-
Jingu County.

Riverside.

At present, the dragon dikes on both sides of the river in this area, in Lucheng and Xihe County, have been completed one after another, and this is the last one.

The wizard set a deadline, and that deadline was like a decree to the Tiangong clan, so they dared not neglect it in the slightest.

Especially as it got closer to the end, the Tiangong clan became more anxious, and they also hoped to successfully build this last dragon dike and complete the mission.

"Steady, steady."

"Stand up the dragon-suppressing stone."

"Hold on."

Below the dike, one can see many members of the Tiangong tribe wearing helmets of ghosts and gods, among them is Liu Hu, the leader of the Tiangong tribe with a tiger head.

These people came here to urge the early completion of the dragon dike.

In the evening, night is approaching.

The "ghosts and gods" raised their heads and looked at the embankment. They were surrounded by people wearing bamboo helmets and strange costumes. The dusk was shining on everyone, and for people of this era, it really felt like they were seeing a scroll of demons and monsters traveling.

When the Tiangong people on high above saw this scene, their expressions became even more solemn.

Everyone completed their last job carefully and cautiously, as if they were performing some ritual.

As a piece of strange stone that had already been cast and whose symbolic significance was greater than its practical significance was pressed on the highest point of the dragon dike, it also announced that the dragon dike in Jingu County was completely completed.

The people on the dike raised the tools in their hands high, and the people below shouted loudly.

"It's done!"

Everyone cheered. This was the most important mission the Tiangong tribe had received from the witch god. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when it was successfully completed.

The leader Liu Hu immediately gave orders and had people bring up the hot food that had been prepared long ago, as well as the reward money given by the shaman.

As everyone ate and received their reward money, the cheers became even louder.

The cheers even alarmed the surrounding villagers. More and more people looked at the completed Dragon Dike and pointed at the people on and below the dike.

"What are those heavenly craftsmen shouting?"

"Is he chanting a spell?"

"What spells are you chanting? That's the dragon embankment that has been built."

“Is it really made?”

After hearing that the Dragon Dike was completed, more people from Jingu County rushed over, including officials and wealthy businessmen in the county.

Seeing the revelry of the Tiangong tribe, who finished their meal and then performed the sacrificial Nuo dance in the manner of mountain people, and the Tiangong tribe wearing masks of ghosts and gods singing ancient poems, everyone felt that the Dragon Dike was shrouded in a layer of mystery.

“I heard that this dragon dike, which also needs to be pressed, was built to prevent dragons from attacking our Jingu County.”

"Is there really a dragon coming to my Jingu County to cause trouble?"

"They are not here to cause trouble in Jingu County. I heard that there is a dragon in the Yangtze River and it is about to escape."

"I heard from the Taoist priests of Yunzhen Dao that this year is something or other, it's a very chaotic year, and it's a very bad omen. When the time comes, all the dragons in the mountains, rivers, and streams will rush from the rivers to the sea, and they are said to transform into real dragons."

"Did you really say that?"

"That's what I heard."

Everyone was terrified after hearing this, but when they looked at the sky and the river surface behind the partially repaired and rebuilt river embankment, they felt that the situation didn't seem so serious!

Because the weather seems to be calm at the moment, the river water has indeed risen a lot, but it still seems stable.

Especially in the past few days, the weather has been sunny and bright, without even raining, and there seems to be no sign of a flood.

"It hasn't rained yet, how can the river water rise?"

"It's the rainy season now. The rain will come when it's supposed to."

"That's right. It always rains heavily at this time of year in previous years, and we don't know how long it will last."

Everyone was talking about it, and as they talked about the wind and rain, the wind and rain really came.

suddenly.

It started to rain heavily, pouring water on everyone.

"It's raining!"

“It’s raining.”

"Could it be that once the dragon embankment is built, the dragons in the mountains and rivers will also sense it?"

The crowd that had come to watch the fun dispersed one after another, some ran home, some sprinted wildly on the road, and the Tiangong clan retreated directly to a shed on the side of the road.

On the other side, as soon as the Dragon Dike was completed, Tiangong Liu Hu rushed towards the Divine Peak.

Halfway through the journey, he encountered a heavy rain and was soaked through. However, Liu Hu did not stop at all and finally arrived at the Yunzhong Temple late at night.

He went up the mountain overnight, knocked on the door of the shrine, and prepared to inform the shaman about the completion of the Dragon Dike.

While climbing the mountain and passing through the mountain gate, Liu Hu shouted loudly in the rain, as if he was celebrating.

"Divine witch... Divine witch... Divine witch..."

"The Dragon Dike has been built!"

The shamans on the mountain had heard the noise long ago and immediately opened the door of the shrine and welcomed Liu Hu in.

Then, lights in the shrine lit up one after another.

It was raining outside, but the shrine was brightly lit, and people were constantly coming in and out, busy as ever.

In the altar.

The wind blew the white curtain, and the figure inside was looming, vague and hazy under the light.

Beneath the altar, the shamans were kneeling on the ground, including Liu Hu.

"Congratulations to the Godly Witch!"

"The Dragon Dike has been built!"

Everyone shouted, with a hint of excitement in their words.

However, the heavenly craftsmen might not only be excited about the completion of the Dragon Dike, but more because after the completion of the Dragon Dike, their positions in the hearts of the divine wizard or even Yun Zhongjun might become a little more important.

Perhaps the immortal saints who are high above and not involved in this world can also remember their names.

"Good, the construction of the Dragon Dike is all due to your merits. If you accumulate merits during your lifetime, you will be rewarded in the future."

After hearing this, everyone was delighted.

"Thank you, God Witch!"

Not long after, the wizard entered the Shou Palace holding a lantern and informed Yun Zhongjun of the good news that the Dragon Dike had been built.

Afterwards, "Yun Zhongjun" descended into the Yun Zhong Temple in the form of a wandering spirit.

The shaman knelt before the cloud wall, looking at the bright light shining from the jade wall in front of him.

The golden colorful cloud vortex gradually spread out, and the scene of the heavenly palace gradually appeared behind the cloud vortex, but it looked extremely far away and out of reach.

A divine man wearing a divine robe and with a halo behind his head walked out of the cloud vortex and landed in front of the divine witch. The divine witch immediately greeted him, but the divine man ignored her greeting and sat directly in front of her.

The witch was not surprised or panicked, as she had long been accustomed to the "Lord of the Clouds"'s way of doing things his own way.

After getting up from the ground, the wizard straightened his back and looked at the "Lord of the Clouds" in front of him and said.

"God Lord!"

"The last dragon dike has been built. Now, dragon dikes have been built in Lucheng, Jingu and Xihe on both sides of the river."

"And these three places are also the three most dangerous places in Yinzhou. As long as we can protect these three places, at least Yinzhou will be safe."

Having said that, the wizard spoke.

"Just outside Yinzhou..." Yun Zhongjun sat for a long time, his body slightly tilted, and the light behind his head changed accordingly, shining on the face of the witch.

Although the light had been dimmed, it was still so bright that the wizard could not open his eyes and could only lower his head.

"People say that supernatural powers can reach the heavens and the earth, but where in this world can there be such powers? Under the power of heaven and earth, let's stabilize Yinzhou this year!"

"Next year, things will be different."

The shaman asked again: "Will next year be different from this year?"

Yun Zhongjun: “Yeah!”

In Yun Zhongjun's opinion, by next year his magic power will be restored (electricity will be available), his supernatural powers will be perfected (technological facilities will definitely not be comparable to what they are now), and many things will naturally not be comparable to what they are now.

At least, if nothing else, we should have a few more decent "dragons", right?

However, when the wizard heard this, he couldn't help but recall the words about the strange changes in heaven and earth in the year of Guichen.

The shaman thought secretly that this year of Guichen was indeed extraordinary.

"This Guichen year, Yunzhongjun appeared in the world, and the dragons entered the sea and turned into dragons. It must be an unusual year."

"The Luyang Tubo said that there were strange changes in the heaven and earth."

“Could it be that it is because of this change in the world that Yun Zhongjun’s magical power was suppressed, giving the group of dragons that glimmer of hope and the chance to transform into a dragon.”

"But this opportunity of becoming a dragon is a catastrophic disaster for mortals."

The year of Guichen is an unusual year.

It's not just Shenwu who thinks this way, many people think this way.

This year alone, the appearance of Yun Zhongjun and the occurrence of so many strange phenomena have made this year different from any other year.

It is destined to become a special beginning, or even a time point and existence like the beginning of a new era.

Let’s finish talking about the construction of Longdi.

Since the Tiangong clan completed the mission and the decree as scheduled, it is now time to reward them based on their merits. Yun Zhongjun's reward naturally cannot be mundane things like gold, silver, and silk. The divine wizard has already given such rewards.

Yun Zhongjun: "All those who built the dike this time will be recorded in the book of Huangquan, and their merits will be recorded in Huangquan."

Divine wizard: "Lord, what is the meaning of recording the name Huangquan? Also, may I ask what is the use of this merit?"

Yunzhongjun: "It has many uses, such as being listed in the book of the underworld. It also carries merits and has no major karma. After death, the soul can be summoned to the wormwood."

The shaman understood immediately that this meant that one could become a ghost after death.

Once, the witch asked Yun Zhongjun who could become a ghost, but the order of the underworld seemed not to be what the witch had imagined, and not everyone could enter.

Now it seems that this list of Huangquan and the things called merits are the key to entering Huangquan's underworld as a ghost.

However, the sorcerer did not quite understand Yun Zhongjun's last sentence, that his soul could be summoned into the wormwood after death.

The shaman asked again: "What is Haoli?"

Yunzhongjun: "Whose land is this in the weeds? It gathers souls of all kinds, no matter the wise or the foolish. Why is the ghost urging me? Human life cannot but hesitate."

The god recited a poem, and his voice seemed to have a hint of sleepiness, as if the bright moon in the sky was covered by a layer of mist.

in fact.

The shaman had heard of Haoli vaguely, but there were not many rumors about him.

According to legend, there is a place called Haoli at the foot of Mount Tai, which is said to be the underworld.

It is also said that after a person dies, large patches of weeds will grow on the grave, and these weeds grow from the underworld.

The so-called Haoli.

It refers to the tombs and burial places of the dead under the weeds, and it also vaguely refers to the underworld that leads to the netherworld under the weeds.

However, apart from this vague rumor, the wizard knew nothing else.

So what does it mean to be able to enter the wormwood, and what kind of scene is there in the wormwood?

just.

Before the wizard could ask, the spiritual light under the jade disk turned into fireflies and dissipated, disappearing into the wall.

When the wizard raised his head, Yun Zhongjun had disappeared.

The other end.

In the cabin, Yun Zhongjun yawned and took off his mask.

Although I was woken up in the middle of the night, I wasn't in a bad mood. I woke up quickly and fell asleep quickly.
-
Clouds began to gather in the sky, and it was covered with dark clouds.

The rain poured down in torrents, continuously, as if water was the only thing between heaven and earth.

The rain was pouring from the beginning, as if leaving no chance for anyone to breathe. Moreover, the rain in the plum rain season was not only heavy and fast, but also continuous, completely different from the past.

It rains almost every day, day after day, and night after night.

The farmers sat on the doorsteps of the houses, squatting barefoot, looking outside with worried eyes, and then sighed.

"This rain is a bit scary."

"How many days has it been raining?"

"It has been raining all the time. It just stopped for a while yesterday afternoon, and it started raining again before daybreak today."

Someone ran back from outside the village, talking as he ran in the rain.

“There’s no way to cross the river.”

"I went to the river and saw that the water level had risen to the point where several ferry crossings were flooded. This has never happened in previous years."

"What, the ferry is flooded?"

"No, it's all in the water."

People on both sides of the Yangtze River have become accustomed to the baptism of rain, and dark and humid weather is also commonplace.

But the rain during the plum rain season is particularly special, with a different meaning that makes people fear and dread.

Because it usually represents the arrival of the flood season.

People on both sides of the Yangtze River understand its meaning and horror. It is a memory engraved in their bones from generation to generation.

Over time.

The amount of rainfall is gradually increasing every day, getting heavier than the previous day.

The water level in the river was getting higher day by day, as if showing people the power and ruthlessness of heaven and earth.

Riverside.

There are people patrolling every section of the river embankment, even at night.

Not only the people in charge of patrolling, but also the people living nearby would come to check from time to time, fearing that there might be some problems with the embankment on the river.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, there was a loud bang and the water hit the embankment.

The huge sound of water echoed in the air, and the sound was as deafening as thunder.

The splashing water poured over several people on the embankment. Everyone fled in a hurry, but not too panicked.

The embankment under their feet was as solid as Mount Tai and did not move at all under the impact, which gave them great courage.

"it's okay no problem."

"Don't be afraid!"

"Who's afraid? This is the Dragon Pressure Dike, it's very stable."

"As long as this dike is there, there will be no trouble in Xihe County."

Everyone was startled, then burst into laughter, and seemed to be in good spirits.

But at this moment, someone nearby stared at the river for a long time, and finally confirmed something.

"Look, what's that thing rushing over in the river?"

"Is that a cow?"

Everyone stood on the embankment, staring intently at the river.

The river water rushed down, and the waves rolled up as if there was a dragon surging in it. At this moment, everyone looked upstream and found a large amount of debris washing down from there.

The first thing to be hit was a dead cow, floating on its side on the water, the curved horn on one side of the cow's head rising and falling in the water.

Afterwards, the people standing on the dike saw a roof covered with broken green tiles rushing down from the river, being swallowed up and pushed up by the surging river water.

And behind the roof, a large amount of wood was seen.

Those were not just some wild wood, but were obviously beams, door panels, pillars, fences, and other objects from a house.

There are more and more floating objects on the river.

One piece after another.

It was obvious that it was not just a single house that was washed down, but a large area of houses.

In addition, there were some things floating in the river, such as wooden basins, ceramic pots, bamboo stools, hoes and plows.

People even saw clothes floating on the water.

Under clothing.

The outline of a person appears faintly.

As the river water rolled away, it disappeared, as if it had been swallowed by something.

The scene was chilling and frightening.

"How is this going?"
