I am a fairy

Chapter 257: The God of Huai River
The Yangtze River flooded last year, and the Huai River flooded again this year.

When Wuzhiqi went north, he saw all kinds of tragic scenes. A large number of trees and debris were washed down from afar. The spires of houses were exposed in the flood, and skinny children were squatting in the wind and rain.

There were people beating drums and gongs on the river bank, and human figures rose and fell, as if trying to block the flood.

But as the huge waves washed over, the figures on the river bank disappeared, and the people on the shore fled in panic like ants. Bursts of screams were heard from afar, and it was unknown whether they were alive or dead in the dark wind and rain.

It reminded him of his past. He was the source of such disasters in the past. Who would not be afraid of him when he could stir up trouble?

But at this moment, Wuzhiqi felt sorry for this scene.

Wuzhiqi was surprised.

He is not a human, why would he have such thoughts.

"Could it be that he has changed his gender?"

The one who brought Wuzhiqi was a Chiwen, which looked like a big fish, but was actually a dragon, with a fish head, a dragon body, and long dragon whiskers.

And the dragon's whiskers are not just for decoration. It is said that when they sway slightly in the water, they can detect all situations and changes underwater, and nothing can escape their eyes.

Wuzhiqi asked Chiwen's name and the other party told him.

"Yu Qing!"

Wuzhiqi laughed at him and said.

"Your name is like a person's."

However, Chiwen Yu Qing said.

"Humans are the form of Tao, born with souls, can enter reincarnation, can become ghosts and gods, and can cultivate immortality."

"Although I am a dragon, it would be nice if I could be a human being."

Wuzhiqi pointed at the man on the shore and said, "How dare you be that kind of person?"

Chiwen immediately said, "That's definitely not possible. It would be great if we could become a real person like the Yin-Yang Taoist."

Wuzhiqi immediately sneered: "Just tell me you don't want to be a dragon, you want to be a god."

The difference between people is bigger than the sky. This Chiwen yearns for the upper limit of being a human being, but does not want to be the lower limit of being a human being.

However, he wrote down the name of Yin Yang Taoist.

Wuzhiqi couldn't bear it and asked directly.

"Who is the Yin-Yang Taoist? Is he a deity?"

Chiwen Yuqing replied: "Not long ago, the Yin-Yang Taoist used the Three Corpse Gods' method to gather the golden cloud of merit, and his name was recorded in the Book of Heaven, proving his immortality."

Wuzhiqi asked: "What does the name of the heavenly book mean? Is it a god?"

Chiwen Yuqing: "The only known way to immortality is Shinto. The one who has gone the furthest in Shinto is this Yin-Yang Taoist. He can be considered a god, right? After all, the Heavenly Register is under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court, so he can be considered as an ascension!"

He asked again: "I wonder how long the God has lived?"

Wuzhiqi said: "I don't know how many years it has been, but I asked others how long it has been since the ancient times. I think I have lived for thousands of years, but I don't remember much about that time."

Chiwen Yuqing: "The demon's body can last for a long time, but its three souls and seven spirits are incomplete. The soul of the god must have been reborn several times and forgotten his past."

"It's good enough that the God can remember my name."

Wuzhiqi: "What does it mean to be reborn?"

Chiwen Yuqing: "The Supreme God doesn't even remember this?"

Wuzhiqi: "Tell me quickly."

Chiwen Yuqing: "Monsters are born with monster bodies and strong physiques, but their three souls and seven spirits are incomplete. After a period of time, the souls will dissipate, but new souls will be reborn from the monster body."

"Just like that mortal, our rebirth can be considered as a reincarnation."

"It's just that after so many times, you will naturally forget a lot of things and can't remember the past."

"And that's besides the point."

"Although this demon body is powerful, it will eventually be destroyed. If it is destroyed, it will naturally die."

Chiwen Yu Qing exclaimed after he finished speaking.

"The Supreme God has actually lived for thousands of years, from ancient times to the present day. He is indeed a great demon born and raised by nature, with extraordinary bloodline."

However, when Wuzhiqi heard Chiwen Yuqing's praise, he did not feel happy at all, but felt a little uneasy.

He still thought he was immortal, but after hearing what Chiwen said, he knew he would eventually die.

And what is this rebirth? How is it different from dying?
Thinking of this, Wuzhiqi said.

"I never thought that a great demon like me would be inferior to that Yin-Yang Taoist?"

Chiwen Yuqing said: "Supernatural powers are supernatural powers. The supernatural powers of the gods in ancient times may be able to turn the rivers and seas upside down and go into the sky and the earth, but the method of longevity still needs to be sought from heaven."

Wuzhiqi asked: "Can I, the God of the Huai River, be considered to be listed in the Book of Heaven?"

Chiwen Yuqing said: "I don't know about this. After all, the position of the God of Huai River is a new position. What it is like, the God himself has to find out."

On the way, Wuzhiqi saw a large army passing by.

"What's this?"

In addition to the large army camped on the shore, there were also a large number of ships passing by on the water, which seemed like a war was about to break out.

Wuzhiqi saw this and spoke.

"These mortals are truly foolish, stupid and evil. They still want to fight a war when the disaster is so severe."

So Wuzhiqi wanted to scare them.

At this time, Chiwen Yuqing told Wuzhiqi.

"God, please don't do this. Heaven has its own rules. If you are discovered, Heaven will show no mercy."

"If you just scare people, you will only lose merit."

"If someone is injured or killed, I'm afraid the gods will come to question him immediately."

"What's worse, if the matter gets out of hand, I'm afraid the gods and demons will come down to the mortal world and take us away immediately."

Wuzhiqi chanted a spell and restrained the dragon with a fish head and a dragon body under his seat. The dragon was simply unable to resist Wuzhiqi's magical powers, or rather, his innate demon template and the status of the God of the Huai River.

Then, Wuzhiqi controlled the dragon to emerge from the water, immediately scaring the soldiers on the boat and making them scream in fear.

"Demon, the demon is coming."

Although Wuzhiqi frightened them a bit, that was all, because what Chiwen said was that if things got out of hand, gods and demons might come down to the mortal world to take them away. This reminded Wuzhiqi of the past and he restrained his ferocity a bit.

But at this moment, a large ship suddenly sailed towards Chiwen, and a man appeared on the ship.

Wuzhiqi looked over and saw a faint dragon aura on the man.

The man asked loudly: "May I ask which god is blocking the way of our army?"

Wuzhiqi also asked: "What are you?"

The man replied: "I am Wen Shenyou, the prince of Dawu. I am a god who can control dragons, but am I a god under the seat of Lord Yunzhong?"

Wuzhiqi then realized that it was the army of the Southern Dynasty, led by the current crown prince Wen Shenyou.

The flooding of the Huai River has made it possible for ships to pass through some places that were previously inaccessible. Wen Shenyou was already reorganizing his troops, and when he saw this opportunity, he immediately seized it and headed north.

Wuzhiqi asked him, in this disaster, instead of trying to save lives, he brought a large army to fight. What was his intention?
Wen Shenyou said: "I came here to save people. Northern Yan is unjust, so this disaster happened. My Wu Dynasty has the ambition to unify the world. If my Wu Dynasty gets both sides of the Huai River, I will definitely confer titles on the gods of the land and water on both sides and find ways to provide relief to the victims."

"Although I came here with an army, it was to save people."

Wuzhiqi didn't quite understand what was said, but seeing that the other party had dragon energy, it seemed that what he said was quite sincere.

"I don't know whether what you said is true or not, but if you deceive me, I will definitely let you know how powerful I am in the future."

“And if you really come here to save people, you can come to the temple to worship me in the future, and I can show you a way.”

Wen Shenyou: "Who is the Supreme God?"

Wuzhiqi: "The water god of the Huai River is Wuzhiqi."

After saying that, Wuzhiqi controlled the Chiwen to sink into the water.

Wen Shenyou chased to the side of the ship and looked down, only to see a huge dark shadow swimming under the rolling water and gradually disappearing into the distance.
-
Wuzhiqi first went to his former demon palace, but found that the mountain seemed to be split in half by something, and he could not recognize anything around him.

He stared at the split mountain, stunned.

"Who did this?"

"You actually have such magical powers?"

"Emperor of Heaven?"

"Or are they gods and demons sent by the Emperor of Heaven?"

No matter how hard he tried to think about the past, he couldn't remember it. He tried to look for any trace of the past, but he couldn't find any.

"Ugh!"

Wuzhiqi sat on a rock by the river, sighing.

He asked Chiwen Yuqing: "How do you say this in mortal language?"

Yu Qing said: "Things have changed and people have changed."

Wuzhiqi nodded continuously: "That's right, that's right."

Yu Qing added: "God, the decree of the heaven has been issued. Don't delay any longer. It's time to go to the Water Palace to take up your post."

Wuzhiqi then left this place and headed towards the middle and upper reaches of the Huai River.

He was named the water god of the Huai River, and his water palace was also located there.

Wuzhiqi arrived at the Dragon Palace in the Water Palace and took a look.

Then he discovered that countless dragons had been recruited to this place, and demons from all over the place had begun to build a dam here, and a huge barrier surrounded this place.

Mortals cannot enter, nor can they see what is inside.

Wuzhiqi entered the Dragon Palace.

The illusion of the Dragon Palace opened up, and a large number of monsters and dragons transformed into human forms, lined up on both sides and shouted.

"Welcome to God."

He sat on the Water God's throne and immediately felt the power of thousands of water monsters merging into his body.

Afterwards, the dragons above the entire Huai River were also connected with his magical powers.

His thoughts continued to extend along the Huai River, as if he himself was the Huai River and could sense everything in the Huai River.

"I am the god of the Huai River!"

"It is a great demon that was born with the ability to stir up the Huai River and possesses supernatural powers."

And it was at this moment that Wuzhiqi learned various spells related to the Huai River and possessed hundreds of magical powers related to the Huai River.

Those magical powers seemed to be engraved in his bones. He already possessed them, but he had forgotten them before.

But the moment he returned to his position as the God of the Huai River, everything came back to him.

“This is me, Wuzhiqi.”

Next.

Wuzhiqi then truly became the god of the Huai River.

He originally thought that it would be difficult for him to be a good god because he was a demon who was born to stir up trouble.

He really wasn't used to being a god in a proper manner.

However, when he really became a god, he found that he was so used to it that he almost didn't recognize himself.

It seemed that he was born with the talent to control monsters and dragons, and knew how to be a good god of the Huai River.

"I never thought that I have the talent to be a god?"

Wuzhiqi asked Yu Qing who was standing beside him, and this dragon seed also became Wuzhiqi's subordinate in controlling the Huai River.

"How do you say this in mortal language?"

The dragon, who was familiar with the human world and could be considered well-read among the monsters, thought for a long time and then spoke.

"A capable minister in a peaceful era, a hero in a chaotic era?"

Wuzhiqi didn't quite understand what was said, but he felt that it must be a compliment to himself.

"Yes, yes, I must have been born in the wrong era in ancient times."

"But with my abilities, whether I'm a demon or a god, I'm sure I'll be the best in the world."

Wuzhiqi happily became the god of the Huai River and immersed himself in the Huai River.

Through the process of controlling the Huai River and building the Longgong Dam and water conservancy projects, Wuzhiqi also felt that his magical powers were constantly growing, and he penetrated deeper into every corner of the Huai River.

This feeling is like spiritual practice, feeling yourself becoming stronger day by day, and it makes you unable to extricate yourself.

And this day.

Someone brought many people to the bank of the Huai River and arrived at an ancient temple dedicated to the god of the Huai River.

"Is this the temple of the God of the Huai River?"

“It looks quite old.”

"The deity enshrined here is Wuzhiqi?"

"I can't remember the name, but I heard from the locals that it should be Wuzhiqi."

After the sacrifice, the visitor burned the sacrificial words, which were quickly carried along with the green smoke to the water palace of the Huai River God.

"somebody is coming?"

Wuzhiqi went to take a look and found that it was Wen Shenyou.

at night.

He sent ghosts and gods to welcome Wen Shenyou and bring him into the Water Palace.

In the illusion of the Water Palace, he hosted a banquet for the prince of the Southern Dynasty.

Wuzhiqi: "It looks like you won the fight. I didn't expect that a mortal like you still has some skills?"

Wen Shenyou: "I am blessed by heaven, but it is also because of Beiyan's immorality that I was able to seize this opportunity."

Wuzhiqi is a god who is concerned about what is happening in the Huai River and has no idea what has happened in the human world recently.

At this moment, Wen Shenyou talked about his recent experiences.

Both sides of the Huai River belong to Mu Chaotian, the King of Zhennan of Northern Yan. He is also Wen Shenyou's old rival, and it can even be said that they are like his arch-enemy.

Once upon a time, Wen Shenyou swore to fight the opponent in a fair fight.

But in the end, Wen Shenyou's victory was not fair.

Wuzhiqi: "Then how did you win?"

Wen Shenyou: "I used some tricks."

In the end, Wen Shenyou did not have a real fair fight with Mu Chaotian.

At least when he faced Mu Chaotian in the end, Wen Shenyou felt that he was no match for the opponent.

Their retreat was blocked by the enemy, who sent out cavalry to harass them repeatedly, causing panic in their army.

It didn't look good at the time, and we would be defeated if we were not careful.

then.

He had hundreds of tall men covered in animal skins, paired up in pairs, with one riding on another, pretending to be ghosts and gods.

Then he blew the horn in the dark night and released the large number of birds that had been caught earlier into the sky.

Hundreds of tall men rushed towards Mu Chaotian's camp in the moonlight, accompanied by all kinds of strange shouts and bird calls.

"The ghosts are coming!"

"The ghosts are coming!"

Afterwards, Mu Chaotian’s camp exploded.

Mu Chaotian might have seen some clues, but he could no longer control the situation at this time. Everyone was running for their lives. Mu Chaotian saw that the situation was hopeless and could only flee.

Afterwards, Wen Shenyou ordered the hundreds of men dressed as ghosts and gods to follow the army and pretend that they were protected by ghosts and gods.

They chased them all the way and no one dared to fight back along the way.

Wherever they passed, cities opened their gates and surrendered one after another, without even daring to discuss the terms of surrender.

The generals who had followed Mu Chaotian for many years were finally frightened and prepared to capture Mu Chaotian on the bank of the Yellow River. However, Mu Chaotian was also very fierce and killed his generals and rushed out.

Finally he fled back to Northern Yan.

Wuzhiqi was very surprised: "They just made people pretend to be ghosts and gods to scare the Northern Yan army. Why are the Northern Yan people so cowardly?"

Wen Shenyou shook his head: "God, I don't know, if it were people from other places, they might not be so afraid of ghosts and gods, but the people under Mu Chaotian's seat are different. Their fear of ghosts and gods is ten or a hundred times greater than that of people from other places."

Wen Shenyou's victory was indeed not glorious, but he still won in the end and occupied both sides of the Huai River.

Wuzhiqi thought this way of winning was quite interesting. He never thought that a war could be fought this way.

He also fulfilled his original promise: "In this case, I will help you control the Huai River. If you need anything, I can also recruit dragons to help you."

Wen Shenyou was overjoyed: "Thank you, God."

This is also the purpose of Wen Shenyou's visit.

With Wuzhiqi's help, we can take advantage of the power of the Huai River.

More importantly, as long as Wuzhiqi sends a dragon to help him, even if it's just one dragon, even if it's only to help once.

He can use this tiger skin to calm the people on both sides of the strait and tell others that he has the help of gods and ghosts. Even if Mu Chaotian fights back, no one will dare to surrender to him casually.

As long as there is no chaos and as long as people's hearts gradually turn to them, Wen Shenyou feels that he has various ways to stabilize the situation and control the disaster.

Wen Shenyou left the Water Palace drunk and woke up from the Water Temple.

However, Wuzhiqi agreed to help him, and Wen Shenyou also felt the pressure at the same time.

This also means that he has also promised the other party to bear the brunt of the disaster on both sides of the strait.

An official nearby asked, "Your Highness, where does this money and grain come from?"

Wen Shenyou thought for a moment and said, "I will immediately report to His Majesty and ask His Majesty to ask the Imperial Master to perform the art of dynasty destiny, which may be able to resolve this crisis and disaster."

"This move will not only win the hearts of the people on both sides of the Huai River, but will also increase our dynasty's fortune and merit. As long as we take this step steadily, many things that follow will be much easier to do."

Wen Shenyou had just thought about it, and was even a little hesitant when he said it out loud. After all, Wen Changxing was defeated because of using this technique of dynasty fortune, which made people unconsciously fear this magical technique.

But the more I think about it, the more I feel.

Perhaps, this is the true use of the art of dynasty luck.
-
Wuzhiqi became the god of the Huai River, and his position as a god became increasingly stable, and his magical powers became increasingly powerful.

He began to build the Dragon Palace (dam and wharf) in the water. He was able to control a large number of monsters and control both sides of the Huai River with a single decree.

As Wen Shenyou began to worship the God of the Huai River and continuously conferred titles on local gods and mountain lords, and as large amounts of money and grain were transported along the Huai River, he, the God of the Huai River, began to be worshipped by countless people.

The name Wuzhiqi gradually became famous throughout the country.

Not only was he recorded in the volumes, he also became known to everyone among the people. At least in this vast land of China, he was considered a well-known god.

When he was in charge of a region, he could feel free and at ease, without any constraints.

As long as the law is not violated, the god's life can be extremely happy and joyful.

but.

Wuzhiqi has always had a knot in his heart.
That knot in his heart did not come from himself, but from others. It was planted by a supreme being.

Especially lately.

He would always remember the time when he was kneeling under the Great Sun Palace and the Emperor of Heaven at the end of the long stairs asked him.

"Do you remember who you are?"

He felt that he shouldn't think about this question, who else could he be?

"I am Wuzhiqi."

But sometimes he felt very strange. He always felt that he didn't know himself, or that he was different from what he imagined.

"Why do I act like one?"

"Am I not the great demon Wuzhiqi who wreaked havoc on both sides of the Huai River? How come I am so skilled in acting as a god, as if I am a god in the first place?"

"Where did I come from? Am I really an ancient demon god born and raised?"

The gap between memory and reality made the great demon Wuzhiqi feel unable to recognize himself.

But this is actually nothing.

Everyone sometimes feels that they are not like themselves, and that there is a gap between the real self and the true self.

If the Emperor of Heaven had not told him, Wuzhiqi might not have found it so unforgettable.

On this day, Wuzhiqi remembered two other sentences that the Emperor of Heaven had said.

"The reason you are called Wuzhiqi is because someone implanted a false memory in your mind and told you that your name is Wuzhiqi."

"Apart from the memory in your mind, what else can you have to prove that you are Wuzhiqi?"

The more he thought about it, the more annoyed Wuzhiqi felt.

even.

He felt angry.

He wanted to prove something, prove that he was Wuzhiqi, and prove that the memories in his head were not false.

Wuzhiqi tried his best to find some other evidence to prove that he was Wuzhiqi, but he found that apart from the memories in his mind, he had no way to prove that he was Wuzhiqi.

"Why did the Emperor tell me this?"

"If my past is really false, then who could have fabricated my past? Was it the Emperor of Heaven?"

"If it was the Emperor of Heaven, why would he point it out?"

"If it's not the Emperor of Heaven, then who is it?"

"If what the Emperor said is true, then who am I?"

But he naturally had no way of asking the almighty Emperor of Heaven about such matters.

After leaving the Great Sun Temple, he had no way to go back.

Jiaolong Yu Qing told him: "I heard that there is a stone on the reincarnation platform in the underworld, called the Three Lives Stone, which can see the past life and know the future life."

Wuzhiqi: "Three-life stone?"

Yu Qing nodded: "If the Supreme God really wants to know my origins, he can go and take a look and find out."

Wuzhiqi thought about it and decided to go to the underworld to take a look.
